With the dispatch of the escorts of the prosecution and demotion, the ten palaces of the Tang Dynasty became even more lively.

In addition, Wang Xunzhang was not calm and inspected each prefecture and county. The county magistrates who were removed from Jiangning and Jiangxi were more than dozens of county magistrates.

There are also several state governors who were impeached and suspended from office. It can be said that in just one month, the world was shocked.

The name of the official slaughter has been circulated for thousands of miles.

Unlike the rough and minor inspections, the demotion and demotion are more careful because they are rooted in the government. While pacifying prefectures and counties, they are open and secretly investigated and investigated, which will not be effective for several months.

In this way, Wang Ning's reputation became even more famous.

The Ministry of Personnel was particularly popular for a large number of officials, and there were countless guests to treat them.

By the end of October, the autumn harvest had been completed, and the taxes from Xichuan, Badong Prefecture, Jiangxi and Jiangning Prefecture were also transported. Changsha City was full of traffic for a while and the wharf was crowded.

Due to too much money and food, the Ministry of Revenue had to build several more warehouses for resettlement, which was quite a bit full of treasury.

As for the establishment of Changsha Prefecture, it has been underway. It is expected that it will be completed before the summer harvest. Then there will be the Lingnan Prefecture, Xiangxi Prefecture, and then Jingnan Prefecture, Xichuan and Badong Prefecture.

As for Jiangning and Jiangxi, there is no hurry, let them be more in chaos and the officials impeach them.

Afterwards, the Zhengshi Hall sorted out the autumn tax and submitted it to the emperor.

Compared with the past, the autumn tax has increased by more than twice, which is gratifying.

"The grain is 6.56 million stones, of which Xichuan and Badong prefectures contributed a lot, more than 30%; the money is 4.8 million yuan, salt classes, tea classes, wine classes, and mining classes have also increased by more than 50%. This is the virtue of the ancestors and the gift of His Majesty's magical martial arts!"

As the prime minister, Zhao Cheng personally takes charge of the Ministry of Revenue. This is a key department. If the Ministry of Revenue is gone, he, as the prime minister, will not be able to sit steadily.

The two taxes in spring and autumn are naturally produced by the fields, so the payment is grain. For the four major taxes, tea, wine, mines, and salt, the monthly transportation is extremely troublesome, so it is also divided into two batches in spring and autumn, and it is delivered every six months.

The grain was more than 6 million stones, which was 13 million stones a year. During the Yuanhe period, during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, it was tens of millions of stones a year, which was almost the same, and the territory was similar. Guanzhong was destroyed, and the Central Plains was full of vassal states, so they could only pay taxes in the south.

For money, these four taxes are the same as it is.

If you compare this way, Li Jia can be said to have returned to the level of the mid-Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the monthly commercial tax is paid to the court for more than one million trump cards, and the Maritime Bureau also earns hundreds of trump cards a year, but it has not been calculated yet. This makes it even richer.

If the world is divided into ten parts, Li Jia's Tang Dynasty is only five points, Zhao Song is three points, Wu Yue and Northern Han are two points.

Wu Yue swallowed it sooner or later, and Northern Han could swallow it so easily, and it was still hard and had no amount of meat. It was easy to suck teeth.

Just like the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei only needs to cultivate and maintain his health and regain his strength to win the world and crush it with absolute strength.

The same was true for the Tang Dynasty. It has a place of essence in the world, cultivated for two or three years, completed the reform of enrolling households and the training of the army, and then it can go directly north and seek to seize the world.

Zhao Kuangyin seemed very passive because there were no ships in the Central Plains, so there were few breakthrough points, or in other words, they could only start from Hanzhong.

Besides, some money seems to be a lot, but it doesn’t cost much.

For example, the 300,000 army consumed 3 million stones of food and grass in a year, and the navy's salary was more than 6 million stalemates.

After increasing the number of bureaucrats in Jiangnan and Shu Kingdom, the number of bureaucrats exceeded 10,000, and the cost was even more amazing. Ordinary second- and third-rank officials had an annual salary of 2,000 stones, and bureaucrats spent more than 5 million stones of grain.

In other words, apart from the officials and soldiers who raise officials every year, there will be five or six million stones of grain and seven or eight million stags of coins left every year.

Of course, this is theoretically speaking. After all, the losses and rewards, disaster relief, tax reduction and exemption of soldiers during holidays can be no more than five million guan left.

This is still a huge number of pens, enough for a large army of 100,000. The only thing that is worrying about in a year is that there is not enough money and cloth will be replaced.

It is urgent to issue gold and silver coins.

Immediately, Li Jia instructed Shaofu Temple to forge all the accumulated gold and silver. Unlike copper coins with circles on the outside and square inside, gold and silver coins are solid circles, exquisite and imitated as works of art.

In one month, a total of 300,000 gold coins and 2 million silver coins were forged.

On the front of the gold and silver coins, there is a national flower peony printed on it. Everyone knows that the symbol of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was peony. The following line of official script: The third year of Shenwu.

On the back is carved with a statue of Lao Tzu Li'er, which is to mark orthodoxy, and on the other hand, it is to make people feel hindered and dare not damage it.

There are many Buddhists, but there are actually many Taoists.

In particular, the Tang Dynasty placed Taoist priests in the world as masters and put them under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Temple. Although they were now placed in Chongfusi by the emperor, their prominent status gradually began to be comparable to Buddhism as the government advocated it intentionally or unintentionally.

The profit margin of gold and silver coins is extremely high, with 20% silver and 10% gold, but one silver is worth two coppers and one gold is worth eight silvers. In this way, the profit of two million and three million gold and silver coins is nearly one million guan.

Compared with forging copper coins, it is easier, less force, easier, and more profitable.

After it was issued, Li Jia declared with a mansion report that the tax could be paid in gold and silver coins, and each silver coin could be worth two jin, and each gold coin could be worth eight silver.

Subsequently, the Tianxia Money Bank also issued a statement that the two jin of money will be exchanged for one silver coin with an unlimited date.

With the endorsement of the emperor and the world's money house, the merchants were the first to try it out, and no matter what, they began to circulate.

This kind of precious gold and silver coins can only be used by merchants and wealthy families, and ordinary people may not see them in their lifetime.

As for collecting, circulating, or even burying with him, Li Jia didn't care. Anyway, this time forging not only brought him millions of dollars in money, but also alleviated the shortage of money.

Two million silver coins and 300,000 gold coins, worth more than eight million copper coins, effectively alleviating the money shortage on the market.

After all, this is real gold and silver. Although it is not much circulation, its value remains unchanged and is more reliable than paper money.

To be honest, although the world's money shops promote money tickets, they are rarely used. People often like to go to the money shop for exchange and will not stay in their hands for a long time.

Gold and silver coins are different. Their value is fixed, so they are more easily accepted, circulated, and together with money tickets, alleviate the pressure of money shortage.

"Gold and silver coins can not only alleviate the shortage of money, but also make money. If you are short of money, you will issue it. This is much more hidden and harmonious than direct taxation."
