Chapter 1039 The beginning of recovery

Ouyang Xiu's statement moved everyone. Everyone suddenly felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavy. This was not just a legislation, but also a complete example of everyone's ideas to shape the Song Dynasty.

To be honest, they just set rules for this country like Zhao Da and Zhao Er.

How many scholars have always dreamed of this moment!

Of course, doing this is embezzling the imperial power, and Zhao Shu may not be unaware, but even the ancestors back then had to rely on civil servants to formulate laws, not to mention that the affairs today are tens of millions of times more complicated than before. Without enough experts, it is impossible to complete them.

Zhao Shu could only try his best to supervise him and give him some of them to review whenever they repaired them.

Wang Ning was so happy that in addition to giving the emperor, he also invited talents from all walks of life to ask for their opinions, gathered various ideas, and then drafted by these professional talents in Beijing.

It took a month and a half before the Song Dynasty's land law was finally completed.

There is only one core of this decree: the plunderer has his own land!

For thousands of years, there have been round after round of peasant uprisings, constant rise and fall, governance and chaos, alternating cycles, and fighting for these five words!

Countless talented people cannot solve it, which shows how difficult it is!

Fortunately, Wang Ning'an spent several years to implement the equalization of land order. This time, the land law was announced, and all the loopholes were filled, from top to bottom, from south to north, and in the entire Song Dynasty, all the land was divided into agricultural land, construction land, and unused land.

All agricultural land must be drawn and strictly controlled. If it exceeds a certain area of ​​requisition, it must be reported to the superior's office for approval. If it exceeds 100 mu, the Ministry of Revenue must be alarmed and approved before it can be implemented.

Privately occupying or buying and selling farmland will be pursued, and even if you want to sell the land, it is not possible.

On this point, a lot of disputes occurred.

Some people believe that although land is the lifeblood of the people, some families will encounter difficulties and must sell the land in exchange for money. If the court does not allow the sale and the people will encounter difficulties, what should they do?

Therefore, some people advocate leaving a hole, and in special circumstances, they can be traded!

However, a group of people represented by Su Xun firmly opposed it. They believed that once the opening was made, there would be endless troubles. Many people would use this article to carry out land annexation and destroy the original intention of the court... As a result of the dispute, Wang Ning'an came forward. He weighed the pros and cons, stipulating that the land could be rented out, but it could only be rented out and used, and the lease time could not exceed 5 years. If five years later, the original idea would be accidentally or died, the land would be reclaimed to the court.

This is considered to take care of the people. In an emergency, you can transfer the land and wait until the matter is over and you can recover the land. Of course, the rent is much cheaper than the money you buy or sell, and there is no way.

With the passage of the Land Law, Su Song immediately ordered that all walks of life should reorganize the land, and then renew the land deeds with the people, confirm the land ownership, and strictly prohibit annexation!

If this order continues, it is equivalent to giving all the people a reassurance.

Moreover, starting from Su Song, almost a convention was formed. After every prime minister took over the power, he would promulgate some policies that were beneficial to the peasants, either to continue the land deeds or reduce taxes... In short, as the foundation of the huge empire, the countryside was stabilized, and the overall situation was stabilized.

After the land legislation is made, the next step is to formulate laws to protect workers.

This time, a large number of workers were unemployed and wage arrears were severe. In the past, child labor problems were exposed and overwork problems were all needed to be solved.

"Brother Jiefu, I'm here to invite you to come out!" Wang Ning'an came to the mansion of Aoxianggong, and when he met, he threw out his olive branch.

Wang Anshi waved his hands repeatedly, "Prince, I didn't refuse. Look, my hair is white, my teeth are loose, and my son is not good enough, so he has no face. He is in the court... Yuanze's condition has improved a lot. Some days, I will leave the capital and go home. The major affairs of the court will still be handed over to the prince."

"Don't!" Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly, "I am also a retired person now. Brother Jiefu is concerned about the people and knows much more about the hardships of workers than I do... You have only realized that you are destined to be a destiny. It is really a pity that Lin Quan will live to live here. I sincerely invite Brother Jiefu to serve as a director in the New Policy Society. This is not an official position, but only responsible for coordination, helping with legislation, and filling in the gaps. It is just right for Brother Jiefu, so don't refuse!"

The idea of ​​establishing a New Policy Society was the first to talk to Wang Anshi.

A few years have passed, and Wang Ning'an has really done it.

The absent-in-law was filled with emotion. Of course, he didn't want to live his life and do nothing, but he had no face to stand in the court. He entered the New Policy Society and focused on formulating laws and researching knowledge, which was just right for his temper.

After being silent for a long time, Wang Anshi nodded.

"I have taken this matter, but I am not in good health. I can only take out half a day to practice the Dharma. Please forgive me."

Wang Ning'an laughed loudly: "Brother Jiefu can participate, I'll beg for it!"

...

After bringing Wang Anshi, Wang Ning'an's burden became lighter and Wang Anshi was responsible for protecting the workers.

His attention was focused on rectifying finance.

This is also the most difficult part of practicing the Dharma!

First, Wang Ning'an issued a strict order, requiring all residences, chambers of commerce, guild halls, temples, commercial banks, etc., to do not engage in any financial-related business without approval, otherwise they will be severely punished!

But some people don’t believe in evil, and think that I have been doing this business for hundreds of years. This has been the case since the Tang Dynasty. Why did I cut off my wealth?

Especially several temples, they were even more powerful, and they neither stopped operating nor applied for approval... They always made excuses, saying that the behavior of pilgrims had nothing to do with them.

Wang Ning'an was no longer polite. He found that he was not suitable for being the superior. When he was the prime minister, he was far less comfortable than now. He looked forward and thought about the influence and shrank his hands and feet. But after retreating, he didn't have to worry about so much.

He first mobilized the newspaper to discuss whether gold and silver should be used to decorate the Buddhist temples and temples. Then he pointed out that he should be frugal and devoted his financial resources to the factory industry to create more wealth, and should not be wasted on incense, nor should he turn the pure Zen forest into a place of stinky gold!

Wang Ning'an's proposal was very supportive of a group of entrepreneurs, and the young officials agreed very much. In this way, a campaign to regulate temples initiated by the court was launched.

During this period, more than 100,000 monks and nuns were eliminated, and 10,000 temples were closed.

The scale is no less than that of Chai Rong's destruction of Buddha.

Of course, Wang Ning'an's action this time was mainly to regulate his behavior and strictly prohibit his participation in financial and commercial activities, and there was no massacre. However, the temple economy, mainly Daxiangguo Temple and Lingyin Temple, was also completely destroyed.

Among them, Daxiangguo Temple is not bad, after all, it has experienced several baptisms.

Lingyin Temple was deprived of various industries, workshops, and shares. It sounds scary. Not only did they accumulate a lot, but they could also control the wealth of tens of millions of yuan, which was almost the same as Wen Yanbo!

...

"Dad, since last month, monks have been sent to the frontier one after another."

Wen Jifu watered the vegetable field and came back to report to Lao Wen.

Wen Yanbo has been in Ruzhou for more than a month. In the past month, their family has not only opened 5 acres of vegetable fields and raised some chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, but also observed silently.

After all, Lao Wen was the deputy envoy of the regiment training, and he could still see the imperial court's official report.

There are all kinds of legislative news, and the court's new policies made Wen Yanbo feel itchy. Without such a good opportunity, he could not make trouble. He could only be outside the Great Wall and yearn for it. Isn't this a fatal death!

"Wang Ning'an actually attacked the temple, and he was not afraid of retribution!"

Lao Wen snorted, "Retribution? Where does it come from? If you have the ability, please call one of the Buddha and spit on his face for your father!"

Wen Jifu smiled and said, "Didn't the child dislike Wang Ning'an and hope that he will be unlucky!"

"Oh... I'm looking forward to it too!" Lao Wen got up, patted his butt, reached out to pick up the hoe, and walked towards the vegetable field, while muttering helplessly, "Wang Ning'an will not be unlucky at the moment. Not only will he not, but he will be proud."

Wen Jifu was shocked, "Dad, do you think his measures are useful?"

"Look at it!" Wen Yanbo said without looking back.

Lao Wen guessed correctly. Wang Ning'an strongly regulated finance, cleaned up what should be cleaned up, and established rules when it should be established. He presided over the revision of the Bank Law and also determined the deposit reserve system to prevent banks from over-loaning.

At the same time, a supervisory committee was established to conduct research and evaluation of bank financial products and risk conditions to strictly control the bad debt rate...

With this combination of punches, the situation of Xijing Bank began to improve in the second half of the year.

First, the runs in various places stopped, and then deposits even flowed back.

Su Shi has been observing. He asked people who used to deposit money in the past. The most intuitive feeling of everyone was that this rectification, 70% of the shares of Xijing Bank belonged to the Ministry of Revenue in the Song Dynasty!

Just imagine, unless the Song Dynasty is over, there will be no problems with Xijing Bank.

Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about?

Even those who were unwilling to deposit money in the bank in the past would send the money to the bank at this time.

Dasu was surprised by the changes in the hearts of the people... but it was so subtle, especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival, news came again that a large number of silver mines were found in Japan, which was definitely a super bombshell. It was obvious that a gram of silver had not been shipped back, and the entire financial market was alive.

The textile factory that was previously forced to close its business has opened again.

The boss received a loan of 100,000 yuan from the bank.

He purchased additional purchases again, bought new equipment worth 50,000 yuan, increased spindles by 10,000 yuan, and hired 100 more people. As winter approached, the orders soared rapidly, and they were more than several times busier than before!
