Chapter 396 The poorest official family in history! Ask for a monthly ticket)
"Officials, the main force of the Jin thieves has withdrawn, and the main force of the Jin thieves is retreating eastward! We have won... The entire Yan land is now the territory of our Song Dynasty!"
On a temporary wooden platform on the top of the immortal platform in Jieshi Mountain, Guo Tiannu's excitement and uncontrollable cheers rang out.
Zhao Kai, who was holding a telescope and trying to search for Wanyan Zongbi's troops among the mountains in the north, also quickly turned around and looked east with the telescope.
I only saw a huge five-color military flag and a red and black military flag of the same size, slowly moving eastward, gradually becoming smaller in the eyepiece.
Zhao Kai knew that these two big flags were the Great Jin army flag and the military flag of Zhahe Meng'an. Now only the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonggan and several "Zhen Wanyan" Jiedushi could have their own big flag.
In order to demonstrate his special status, Wanyan Zonggan made his military flag particularly large and eye-catching on the battlefield.
Around these two big banners, there are also many Jin soldiers with bright armor and dazzling flags and neatly arranged Jin soldiers!
Of course, Zhao Kai didn't care about this superficial glamor at all. But he didn't care about anything, otherwise he wouldn't have come out of the Shuiyan Temple and climbed to the top of the pride to watch the battle.
What really worried him was the camel cannon of the Golden Thieves!
He has now obtained He Ji's military newspaper and learned that Xiao Heda was killed by the Jin soldiers with "hundreds of" camel cannons!
In addition, Han Shizhong also sent a military newspaper to report that his troops were bombarded by the Jin thieves' camel cannons when they attacked the Jin thieves' army attached to Yanghezhai, and their attack was once setback. However, after investing 5 kilograms of cannons, they still repelled the Jin thieves' camel artillery and seized dozens of camel bronze cannons weighing about 100 kilograms.
After Zhao Kai learned that Han Shizhong had seized the camel cannon, he immediately ordered him to send a few doors to Shuiyan Temple.
The camel cannon has not been delivered yet, but Zhao Kai can roughly guess what weapon it is.
Camel cannons or large muskets added to the camel's back were found in the original history. It seems that Central Asia likes to use these, and the Qing Dynasty also seemed to have also used camel cannons!
Unexpectedly, the Jin Thief has made this thing now... I really can't underestimate the creativity of these Tartars!
In addition, Zhao Kai now believes that the Jin thief has a large number of camel cannons! If the number is not large, how can Han Shizhong seize dozens of them at once?
I don’t know if there are any camel artillery soldiers around Wanyan Zonggan? It seems that they have to be careful to pursue them... However, there is no suspense in the victory or defeat of this battle in Yuguan!
The Song Dynasty has won!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai put down his telescope, and finally showed a relaxed expression on his face. He smiled and said to Guo Tiannu beside him: "Win is to win, but winning is not easy! And it is very expensive..."
When Guo Tiannu also put down his telescope and frowned slightly. She was Zhao Kai's most considerate confidant, and of course he knew that Zhao Kai's court was a little poor... In fact, before this Northern Expedition, Zhao Kai was the poorest among the three major forces of the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, and Jin Dynasty!
The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty "the poorest in the world" was of course the government system designed by Zhao Kai, which "shares the world with the government soldiers".
Under this system, the government soldiers and utility were not "employed" by Zhao Kai, but the "small shareholders" of the Northern Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kai - this is a "employee shareholding" dynasty!
Moreover, since Zhao Kai, the "big boss", does not pay much salary, the proportion of "employee shareholding" is very high!
When everyone followed Zhao Kai to fight, they didn't pay much money. Some people even paid for it to buy equipment and horses.
But after winning, they will get it back with the capital and the profit!
So although the Northern Song Dynasty now has nine roads, including Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Shaanxi Road, Jingxi Road, Hexi Road, Datong Road, Beijing Road, Sichuan Road, and Jinghu Road, there are only two routes used to collect money, including Sichuan Road and Jinghu Road, and the other seven routes are either Yingtian Road or Transportation Road.
The former is mainly the "bonus" of the soldiers of the government. Most of the land is distributed to the soldiers of the government, so it is very good to be self-sufficient in finances. The latter is the "loss road", and it is not enough to allocate them to the soldiers of the government, so the court has to pay it in it.
Where did the imperial court's money come from? Before, there were two routes in Sichuan and Jinghu, and Zhao Huan gave Zhao Kai 6 million guan a year.
But now... it is still Sichuan and Jinghu that pays for it. Zhao Huan "fired" Zhao Kai again, not letting him be the crown prince, and of course he would not give him an annual salary of 6 million yuan.
And the "loss money" may have to add two more!
There is no Yingtian Road on Datong Road. Zhao Kai plans to set up a Jiedu Road there to deal with the troubles of the northern grasslands. There is no threat, but there will be no less trouble!
Although Beijing Road is Yingtian Road, the next step is to build Shuntian Mansion New City, deploy defenses at Shanhaikou and Yanshankou, and some of the mansion soldiers have to be moved to settle around Beijing... It all costs money!
"Official family," Guo Tiannv whispered, "This time we have seized Beijing Road, most of Hebei Road, Datong Road... Among them, Beijing Road and most of Hebei Road alone have 50 to 60 million mu of land. You don't need to divide them all, right? We might as well keep half of the rent collection, and collect two or three bulls per mu, and you can get millions of stones a year."
Zhao Kai shook his head and stomped his square foot on the top of the immortal platform, while Guo Tiannu followed him, looking considerate and reliable.
Zhao Kai sighed, "I still owe people land!"
Still owe it?
Guo Tiannu said in his heart: People are all rich all over the world, why do you get a lot of debt when you come to you?
"Official family, who do you owe?"
"I owe you the heroes..." Zhao Kai turned around and looked at Guo Tiannu, "I owe you too!"
"I owe you?" Guo Tiannu blinked her eyes, as if asking: How much do you owe me?
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Goddess, you are also a hero! Every time I am at war these years, you have followed you, not only taking care of my daily life, but also my most reliable guard... Your contribution can at least be named a marquis!"
Appointed as a marquis?
Guo Tiannu already understood that Zhao Kai was ready to fulfill his promise to be awarded the title of the hero.
Zhao Kai has been very generous to the soldiers in the past few years, but he is not very particular about the heroes... Until now, he has never given any heroes a title.
So a great hero of the level of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong is now also a "supervisor"... However, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are all good brothers of Zhao Kai, so of course they know the difficulty of being an older brother - poor!
Moreover, Zhao Kai is a very real person. He will not use short titles to deceive people. There are many tricks of real seals. Even if it is real seals, it is not really a "household". Instead, he seals a household according to real seals and gives 25 yuan a month. After 1,000 households, it will only be 25 yuan a month... If you are unconscious, you only have 25 yuan in money, and only 300 yuan a year.
Zhao Kai would not fool the heroes so much. Of course, he did not intend to really grant a piece of land to the heroes and let them rule over many enfeoffers.
His way is to give land... to the land! Let the heroes collect rent from the local owner.
Before the Xuanhe crisis, a marquis with a fief of 1,000 households had a real title of about 400 households, with a monthly income of 10 guan and an annual income of 120 guan. I can’t buy half a hut in Kaifeng Prefecture City... What a great contribution to being a marquis!
It only costs 120 yuan a year... Is this too cold?
Although the Song Dynasty paid a lot of salaries to officials, the tradition since ancient times (except for the Song Dynasty) is to be unsuccessful!
Those who are granted marquis are all meritorious officials, and those who are officials do not have to be meritorious officials... This arrangement of the Song Dynasty was actually to neglect military merits and emphasize bureaucrats!
Zhao Kai cannot do this. He valued meritorious officials and neglected bureaucrats. Because on his rule, the military soldiers in the government were small meritorious officials and could not be awarded titles, so he could only get a medal.
He planned to distribute 10 mu of land for one household, and a thousand households could get 4,000 mu of land. A marquis would collect 3 bulls per mu, which would cost 12,000 bulls a year, which would be about 1,200 bulls!
Then, based on the standard of "4,000 mu of marquis", the reduction of 1,000 mu to the next level and the increase of 1,000 mu.
Zhao Kai also planned to establish the fifth-class title of Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male as a senior official. The Duke was the largest and gave 5,000 acres of land. The baron was the smallest and gave 1,000 acres of land...
This letter, Zhao Kai really has to become really poor!
In recent years, Zhao Kai’s reopening of the Song Dynasty has gone from nothing to something, from something to strength, how many heroes have they been?
Which one is enough to seal every 20 million acres?
The imperial soldiers’ honor field has to give at least 20 million, and the honor field is 40 million... How many fields are there in the occupied areas of Beijing Road and Hebei Road?
How much more can I have to surplus after 40 million acres are sealed?
Can you save Zhao Kai's poverty?

"Official family..." Guo Tiannu was also anxious, "Why should we discuss with King Wu again... let him give him another six million a year?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said to Guo Tiannu: "Let's talk about these things later... We're always winning a great victory now. Tiannu, is the celebration banquet ready? Tonight, I will be drunk with the heroes before I can stop!"
......
When Zhao Kai, the poorest official in history, was happily preparing to celebrate the victory, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Xiebao and others were leading more than 100,000 defeated troops and slowly heading east... and turning around step by step!
Sad!
Such a good Hebei, Jingdong, and Yanyun land were all lost!
What should I do in the future of the Great Jin Kingdom? Where can I go?
Wanyan Xiebao, the crow's mouth, was still optimistic at this time. He was still cheering for Zong Gan, Zong Fu and others: "The current situation is just the same as before we invaded Song State... Although many people died, we have also gained a lot! Not only have we obtained countless treasures and silk, but we have also plundered to the Yan land, Hebei, Jingmin, and Jingdong, which are in the Song State. The population is less than 2 million. We have also learned to build firearms and refine gunpowder.
Next, we can trap Zhao Kai by entering Goryeo east, expeditioning the grassland west, connecting Jinling and Lin'an in the south. Although Zhao Kai is strong, what he has occupied is nothing but the wasteland that has been ravaged, with exhausted wealth and scarce expenditure... If we want to solve the problem, we can only go east to Jiangnan and steal Zhao Huan's family business!
Then we can make a profit!"
