Research On The Financial Operation Of Sichuan General Office In The Early Song Dynasty

The purpose of the Central Government of the Southern Song Dynasty in setting up the Sichuan General Office was to check and balance the generals of the generals and Xuanfu,so that the military finances were relatively independent,and at the same time did not interfere with the original financial system of the local transshipment department.The scope of power of the Sichuan General Office is limited to the decision-making power and management power to participate in military finance.Its subordinate organizations use money as the core to supply military supplies,and do not directly involve the production management of agriculture,handicrafts and other industries and the formulation of related tax laws.In the early period of the Southern Song Dynasty,the duties and stipulations of the Sichuan chief of staff and the selection system were gradually completed and their status improved.In terms of financial operations,the power of the Sichuan General Office can be divided into two aspects: supply of military supplies and management of money.The Sichuan General Office needs the coordination of the military commander General and the prefecture and county transportation department to complete the corresponding financial tasks.This situation reflects that the authority of the Sichuan General Office is insufficient to independently control the Sichuan military finances.
