No shortage of walls

Liu Gongquan of the Liu Kingdom came out to express his gratitude.

Song Xingdao:"I will set up a workshop! The minister is also a first-class official, but the workshop has not been completed yet. We will discuss it later. I also know that the salary is too low. From now on, all officials and sergeants will be given the same salary. All public servants in the Song Dynasty will have their salary increased by five Well done, I hope you all can clean up yourselves and take care of yourself."

Guan Duhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and said:"Your Majesty! Officials at all levels have had their salaries increased, and I am happy, but with such a big increase, I'm afraid I can't afford the taxes."

Song Xing said:" Don't worry, sir, I will also exempt the southern border from taxes for one year. From now on, the northern border will be the same as the southern border, and the taxes will be reduced by 20%." All the ministers came out and shouted in unison, but they all thought it was not possible. The northern border has been exempted for five years. Although it has the support of silver copying, the southern border has been supported by silver copying for one year. But what about salary increases? Now we are reducing taxes again. Where will the money come from?

Song Xing smiled. Said:"Don't worry, everyone. Those royal objects in the Northern Palace that no one dared to ask for were sent to Yuzhou for salt. I gave him another twenty kilograms of salt to lower the price. There are salt wells in the Northern Territory. As long as there are people, as long as there is no chaos in the country , fine salt and newspapers all make money, what we have to do now is to build workshops and sell more to foreign countries to make money."

Huang Quan's expression was very regretful. Said:"It's a pity that the tofu pudding cannot be sold far away, otherwise we can make money again, but even this is not enough. The divine grace is so grand that the national power cannot support it."

Song Xing laughed. He said:"I still have something that makes money. Ministers, please evaluate it. How much is it worth?" After saying this, Xuanhuada said.

Eunuch Li shouted:"Xuanhuada!"

Huada came over with a cloth bag from outside. Song Xing got down from his seat. He said:"Fall on the ground for everyone to see."

Huada fell in the middle, but there were more than a hundred pencils, painted red on the outside, seven inches long. When all the ministers saw that the emperor had come down, they all gathered around to take a look.

Huang Quan picked up one and looked at it:"Isn't this a wooden stick? It's a little black in the middle?"

Huada took out a knife. Huang Quan said angrily:"How dare you bring weapons before you?" In his opinion, only Lu Zhi, the commander of the imperial army, could bring a sword to court, and he was still the emperor's guard.

Huada was shocked by him. song

_ After sharpening the pencil, Song Xing took it. Write the word Song Xing.

Huang Quan exclaimed in surprise:"Is this a pen?"

Song Xing said:"Master Huang is here to write."

After Huang Quan thanked him, he took it, lay on the ground, and wrote"The Song Dynasty is prosperous and the people are strong, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" and then I rewrote it once, but the tip of the pen was still written. I got up and said,"This is so convenient! It’s much better than a brush and quill. Can it write so many words?"

Lu Zhi was also very surprised. Ever since Supervisor Huada learned the orthodox emperor's magical skills, Song Xing rarely told Lu Zhi what he could do. In addition, Huada was from the old manor and took care of the emperor since he was a child.. A hundred private guards guarded the transportation between the palace and Prince Jing's residence. There was also the Ministry of National Security, and Song Yu's people were countless overtly and covertly. Lu Zhi didn't even follow him out of the palace, so he didn't know about the pencil. When he saw it, he reached out to take it and wrote two words. Next, I felt it was very convenient.

Song Xing asked:"How much can a pencil sell for?"

Huang Quan hurriedly raised his hands and said,"Return to your Majesty!" For more than five coins, the emperor doesn't know about Wei Chen. Wei Chen has a nickname:"Don't dial a cent", he is a stingy person. If Wei Chen can give five coins, others can give more."

As soon as he said it, everyone agreed. It sounds a bit expensive, but it is a novelty, something that has never been seen before, and the court makes money, who doesn't agree?

……

At that moment, an imperial edict was issued from the palace: Chang Shengzheng, the second-rank military commander of Tangshan garrison, Lu Lizheng, the second-rank garrison commander of Pingshan garrison, Guan Yunshan, the second-rank garrison commander of Heishan garrison, Long Quanzheng, the second-rank garrison commander of Yuzhou garrison, and Wu Jiashan, the Shengzhou garrison general. The second-grade military commander is Zheng, Song Ruzheng, the second-grade military commander of Qingzhou garrison, Liu Qixi, the second-grade military commander of Xunshan garrison, the second-grade military commander of the northern border general Wu Wei, Liu Xiongzheng, Yi Zhouquan, the southern border general, and Liu Jingyun, the second-rank military commander. The magistrate of Pingjing County, Zuo Xiangyang is the fourth rank. The specific explanation and adaptation came with the imperial edict. Each army and the fourth-rank prefect brought two hundred kilograms of fine salt and ten pencils with them.

The emperor's mother, Princess Jing, became the empress dowager, and his grandmother, the empress dowager, moved to the palace immediately.

People in the north will be exempted from taxes for five years, people in the south will be exempted from taxes for one year, and farmers and merchants will be exempted. After one year of exemption from taxes in the south, taxes will be reduced by 20%. The exemption in the north will expire the same as in the south.

Officials, sergeants, and all public servants of the Song Dynasty will have their salaries increased by 50%.

Although the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had already heard of the new emperor's fine salt. But few people have seen it, mainly because Liu Guo means that the emperor's magical skills should be sold to make money; the market should be opened first. It was used by civilians early, and some high-ranking soldiers knew about it. At this time, the fine salt was sent over, and the soldiers were greatly surprised.

It should be noted that if you add a little more salt cubes to soups and stir-fries, it will be bitter and astringent, not salty. It's fine salt, no bitterness, very delicious. What's even weirder is the pencil, which is so convenient. Compared with writing with a brush and grinding ink, the ink has not been sharpened yet, and the pencil has finished writing. It is easy to carry, especially in winter. Snow is much better than a brush. Everyone spread the word about it and found it very novel. Some people also knew that they wanted to build a workshop larger than the palace. I know that if the workshop is built, salt, paper, pens, etc. will be much more convenient in the future. I was very happy when I made a lot of money.

The most refreshing thing is the salary increase. Although the salary of the Song Dynasty is low, it has increased by 50%, which is higher than the richest country in Xixia. The Song Dynasty, a country that has been poor for hundreds of millions of years, suddenly has public officials. His salary has made him the richest man in a hundred countries.

The people rushed to tell each other and were overjoyed. The new emperor came to power and exempted them from taxes and reduced their taxes, which was enough to make the people of Song Dynasty feel grateful for rebirth.

The army of the Song Dynasty was fully transferred to defense, and the Ministry of Industry made plans to build roads, build ditches and other livelihood matters. The main roads are divided into national roads, city roads and village roads. The national road must be built to be large enough for ten carriages to go back and forth, and it will be a large carriage with four horses. That is to say, twenty carriages can go abreast, ten carriages can go abreast on the city road, and four carriages can go abreast on the village road. It has been built to connect every house, and every house has a road so that carriages can pass. In the middle, a section of the road can be built where two carriages can pass side by side, so that in case the carriages come back and forth, they can wait for one of the carriages to pass. The whole country was called upon to open up wasteland and cultivate land, and the army was not at war; except for the construction of workshops, everything was focused on civilian construction of roads and ditches, which could drain heavy rain. Build reservoirs and water conservancy projects. As long as the emperor and ministers have not thought of anything that benefits the people, the people can report it to the local management officials and the official officials of the Ministry of National Security. For everything that benefits the people, the army will take the lead. The people can help in their spare time and pay wages. Monthly salary, according to the current wages in Song Dynasty, no missionaries are allowed.

All civilians, refugees and even foreigners are welcome to come and work and settle down. When foreigners come in, they must first register with the government and the Ministry of National Security. To prevent spies, the Ministry of National Security is fully responsible for this matter. If there are any mistakes, Liu Guo will be held accountable.

The fire bricks of the Song Dynasty were really poor. The orthodox emperor personally taught the fire brick method, as well as the lime technology. He first used the army to build roads, ditches and workshops, and then the ceremony.

The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty were all shocked again. His majesty, the orthodox emperor, must have known too much. What the hell is lime?
