Wen Gong (Sima Guang) opposed the reform and insisted on laissez-faire economic policies that could still be richer than the people. Officials did not compete for profit. But the fact is that the central wealth was plundered by local governments and the national wealth was plundered by corrupt officials." Li Hu sighed, "Wen Gong hoped that local financial power would increase. His original intention was to hope that the country would be rich and the people would be strong, but the result was contrary to his wishes."

"The enhancement of local financial power directly led to many disadvantages, and thus triggered the crazy plunder of national wealth by corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty, and the central financial crisis became even more serious."

"Among many disadvantages, 'not reporting the account' is the most serious."

One of the most important manifestations of the centralized fiscal system is that the Central Accounting Department can control the income and expenditure accounts of local financial departments at all levels. Before Yuanfeng, all the states and prefectures had to make accounting accounts every year to submit them to the central government, so the three departments could control the annual total financial income.

In the third year of Yuanfeng (1 AD), the fiscal system was reformed. In addition to submitting the accounts of income and expenditure of the state governments, local transfer departments also need to report the local "Income and Disbursement in the Money and Materials" to the central government. The central government can still use this to grasp the approximate income and expenditure amounts of income and expenditures to the central government.

This system was not abolished afterwards, but in the actual operation of financial management, between the regular amount of money and property collected according to the tax system and the actual annual income, the central government stipulated that the finance and taxation allocated to the state government are becoming increasingly inconsistent with the actual expenditure of the state government, and they are basically falsification. Although the imperial court issued several edicts, ordering the prefectures to provide the actual amount of income and expenditure to the central government, the local governments turned a blind eye to the local governments, and the trend of falsification has become increasingly fierce, and the central government has actually been unable to grasp the total annual financial income.

Another most important disadvantage is that "wealth is not included in the warehouse".

The financial system of the Song Dynasty has strict regulations on the accounts and warehouses for local annual property, and strictly prevents officials from cheating. However, since the financial crisis has become prominent, as local fiscal budgets are under tightening, the management systems of the prefectures and counties in various aspects such as accounting, warehouses, etc. have become chaotic, and various systems for managing local financial accounts are increasingly unable to be implemented. For example, there is an official and wealth in the account, but the warehouse is empty, which is simply a fraud. The reason why local prefectures do not enter the warehouse is that they need to ensure local fiscal expenditures, and the other is to facilitate private fraud. The more common thing is to allocate a large amount of financial resources into the government warehouse for officials to squander.

There are also the disadvantages of "not following the law". The power of creating taxes and taxes in the Song Dynasty was concentrated in the central government and could not be affected by local governments. However, because local finances were not enough to make ends meet, if taxes were collected in accordance with national laws, they could not meet the supply and local expenses at all. Therefore, the prefectures and counties "take cleverly from the people" and collect additional taxes, which is to put it bluntly.

Localization of financial power will inevitably lead to the opening of convenience for officials to be corrupt and abuse of power, and local officials are not ruthless and plunder the national wealth. Nowadays, the country is in danger and the control of local governments is getting weaker and weaker. It is conceivable that the corruption of local officials must be unscrupulous, and has reached a shocking and incredible level.

Li Hu has already said that.

Before that, he asked the expansion to Chang'an to control all the military, political and financial power in Shaanxi. Zhang Guanyu and Fan Zhichang went to Chengdu and robbed money and grain by force in Sichuan. He also planned to let the Mao army go to Xiangyang and rob money and grain in Jingxi and Jinghu. These three things surpassed the power of the Northwest Marshal's Mansion. Li Hu had violated the law. In fact, it was equivalent to rebellion. So he was always worried that he could not convince these three women.

Li Hu readjusted his thoughts on the way back from ~ Yang. Tong Guan is too powerful. The Northwest people may not be his opponent and he is secretly discussing peace with the Jin Kingdom. At a critical moment, he can also use the power of the Jin Kingdom to attack the Northwest Army and the Tiger Lie Army. In addition, Guan has decided to take the emperor south to move to Jiangning. Obviously, he can accept the plan to draw rivers with the Jin Kingdom and govern the land. He does not care about the survival of Bian Jing. Tong Guan does not care about Bian Jing. But Li Hu cares. Li Hu has not controlled the northwest so far. The financial crisis of Hu Lie Mansion has not been resolved. Li Hu will take longer. So he hopes that Bian Jing can persist. He hopes that the Jin army can block the north bank of the Yellow River.

For this purpose, he needed famous local scholars like Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng to come to the northwest and serve in the Grand Marshal's Office. He also recruited more scholars from the Song Dynasty to stabilize the northwest as soon as possible. He also came up with an effective set of policies to save the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty cannot revive quickly and cannot recover its strength quickly, it will seriously affect his future kingdom and great cause.

At the same time, he needed two princesses to raise money and food for Hulie Mansion.

Sichuan and Sichuan are far away from Bianjing, and the traffic is blocked. Zhang Guanyu and Fan Zhichang coax and deceive each other, and use both soft and hard work. Even if they do things that should not be done, they will not be able to spread to the capital for a while. However, the west of Jinghu is different from Jinghu. If the Huli Army goes directly to these places to grab the consequences, the consequences will be unpredictable. If it is not done well, it will be ruined, so the princess needs to come forward. The princess is a royal family, and this is power, and it is too late for local officials to curry favor with it. If such a princess leads another army,

Strength, if local officials are disobedient and do things in the opposite direction, then you have to consider

But both Li Qingzhao and the two princesses knew what was illegal, what was not done, and what might endanger the national security. Therefore, Li Hu had to find a strong reason to make Li Qingzhao and the two princesses willingly help him grab people, money, and food.

Li Hu's words made Li Qingzhao, Princess Maode and Princess Roufu feel enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

Why did the Song Dynasty reach this point today? Why was the powerful Song Dynasty so embarrassed by a small Jin Dynasty? The reason was that the Song Dynasty had problems with its national policy and system and its finances were not enough to make ends meet, so it was necessary to reform, but the reform failed and the financial crisis became more serious. At this moment, those shameless corrupt officials actually ignored the kingdom and the country, frantically plundered the national wealth, and pushed the Song Dynasty directly into the abyss of defeat.

“I’m going to kill them.

"The little princess bit her teeth in anger and shouted, "All these people deserve to die."

Of course these people should be damned. The Song Dynasty is the family's country, and the Zhao family is considerate to these bureaucrats, keeping them like pets, and they are unemployed and have a salary at home. They will not be beheaded if they break the law, and they will not forget to give some subsidies when they are exiled. As a result, they have raised a group of ungrateful wolves, who desperately eat the Zhao family's meat and drink the Zhao family's blood. Now they are even more serious and want to devour the Zhao family's country. The gentle and elegant scholars are so ungrateful, probably what Taizu and the ancestors of Taizu could not have thought of?

"You are not excited." Li Hu said seriously, "These people have very clever methods of corrupting and abuse of power. Most of them are legally embezzled under the guise of the laws of the Song Dynasty. It is too difficult for you to punish them with legal means."

"I'm going to rob it." The princess waved her fists and said angrily, "Who dares not give it to me, I'll kill them."

Li Hu was so happy that this girl was easy to cheat. "You are a princess. Even if you want to rob, you must rob it legally. You cannot destroy the reputation of the princess." Li Hu said, "If you are willing to go to the west of Jinghu area to raise food and grass, I will urgently report to Bianjing to ask the emperor for an imperial edict to let you go as a supervisory envoy. With the emperor's imperial edict, everything is legal. Even if you rob the local government, it is legal."

When the little princess heard this, she agreed without thinking. Li Hu thought it was difficult to do, but she didn't know that it would go so smoothly, which made him smile happily.

Li Hu then explained his thoughts in detail.

Princess Roufu went to Xiangyang, and Mao's army led her army to protect her, went to the west of Jinghu to raise food and grass.

Princess Maode went to Chang'an to help Ma Guang. Shaanxi is the sphere of influence of the Northwest Generals, and a large part of the finances of the prefectures in various parts of Shaanxi are controlled by the Northwest Generals. These Northwest Generals are also part of the corrupt and abuse of power to enrich their personal gains, so it is very difficult to receive all the military, political and financial powers in Shaanxi to the Marshal's Mansion.

Li Hu hoped that Princess Maode would exert a certain influence on the Northwest generals and officials of various prefectures after arriving in Chang'an to help the Marshal's Office stabilize the northwest as soon as possible. All parts of Shaanxi are poor, and there is little wealth. People in the northwest cannot make a fortune even if they embezzle and accept bribes. Therefore, Li Hu did not want to pursue the old case of adulthood. However, from now on, the Marshal's Office would control the financial power of the northwest. Even if they could not receive local taxes, they would never allow local governments to take money from the Marshal's Office in the name of relief and guarding the border.

Li Qingzhao, Zhao Mingcheng and his wife, and their unsuccessful friends in Bianjing, were invited to serve in the Marshal's Mansion to deliver a message through them. Li Hu and the Hu Lie Army were loyal to the Song Dynasty and were trustworthy and supported, thus gaining the support of scholars in Guanluo. Once the Marshal's Mansion was trusted by Guanluo's Mansion, then the Hu Lie Mansion could not only quickly control and stabilize the northwest, but also quickly gain a foothold in the northwest.

In addition, Li Hu wanted to ask Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng and his wife to find ways to find descendants of the Yuanyou Party members and invite them to the northwest, such as Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, Fan Chunren, Fan Chunli and others. These Yuanyou Party members were famous officials of the Song Dynasty and a great family. The descendants of these people went to the northwest and gave Li Hu help and support. That would have a great impact on the scholars of the Song Dynasty. Not only could the Song Dynasty quickly accept Li Hu and the Hu Lie Army, but they could also come up with an effective set of strategies to revive the Song Dynasty in the shortest time, which would also have an immeasurable help to Li Hu's great cause in the future.

"I have to do these things right away, whether it is money, food or talents, I urgently need them, otherwise it will be difficult for me to gather the main force into the Hebei battlefield."
