Chapter 265: The Dethroned Ambassador

After the three-day conference, the bidding and selection of distributors of Bashang Liquor ended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bashang Liquor divides the national market into 15 districts, namely Guannai, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Jiannan, Longyou, Shannandong, Shannanxi, Jiangnandong, Jiangnanxi, Qianzhong, Lingnan, Huainan, and Gyeonggi and Dugi.

Among them, Gyeonggi District is a division of the Chang'an area of Kannai District, and Dugi District is a division of the Luoyang area of Henan District.

Shannandong and Shannanxi are mainly Qinba Mountains because they are in the south of Taihua in the south of Zhongnan, and Shannanxi is mainly the Qinba Mountains, and the east of Shannan is the Jingxiang area.

The east of Jiangnan is the area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian in the later generations, while the west of Jiangnan is the part of Jiangxi, Hunan and Anhui in the later generations.

Huainan is east of Dabie Mountain, south of Huai River, and north of the Yangtze River.

Henan District separates the Luoyang area, but also includes the area from the east to the sea.

Of the fifteen regions, Bashang Liquor retained Gyeonggi and Dugi by itself, and the remaining thirteen regions recruited suitable distributors, and each distributor finally paid a deposit of 500 guan and signed a distributor agreement.

Wang Yongan won Hebei District, Wei Chi Baolin won Hedong District, Niu Jianhu won Huainan District, Li Gan won Shannan East District, and Cheng Chumo won Henan District.

In addition to these five predetermined districts, the remaining eight major districts are basically divided by major families. The Xiao family took Jiangnandong, the Feng family took Lingnan, the Wei family took Guannei, the Yang family took Shannanxi, the Wu family took Jiangnanxi, the Pei family took Longyou, the Cui family took Jiannan, and the Wang family took Qianzhong.

Zhang Chao also authorized these thirteen dealers, allowing them to find secondary dealers or agents in their own areas, anyway, as long as they don't cross regions, don't string goods, don't reduce prices, whatever they want.

Zhang Chao can also help them train sales staff in Chang'an, and has set up a good sales rebate incentive program.

The first batch of liquor has also been produced, Ba Shang Shaochun and Zhangjiagou Erguotou, both one-liter bottles, as well as jars, two catties, five catties, ten catties, twenty catties, fifty catties.

The price is unified across the country, 30 yuan per liter for burning spring, and 311 liters for two pots.

Near Zhangjiagou Distillery, a new workshop was built, which was responsible for manufacturing wine bottles and wine jars. This workshop is an affiliated workshop of the winery, but it only produces ordinary wine bottles and wine jars, and those more high-end old cellars, Tegong, Daqu and other wines are commissioned by some old kilns.

Bashang Liquor was the first merchant to collect thousands of yuan without selling anything.

Thirteen dealers collected 6,500 yuan in margin alone.

This made the merchants in Chang'an City stunned, they did business, no matter how much the goods were not out of the money, often the goods were paid, and the money had to be owed.

In the past, if you didn't ship the goods, you would ask for money, then don't do this business in the future. It's just that the liquor industry is so good, and what is collected is not called payment, but deposit. In the future, if you get the wine, you still have to pay the goods first. Pay the money first and then get the goods, it's your own business if you can't sell them all, the wine shop doesn't care, but you can't reduce the price after you take the goods.

If you want to reduce the price, you have to apply to the brewery first, and the price can only be reduced when doing promotional activities, and there must be a limit to the amount of price reduction and the number of promotional products.

It's really an eye-opener, not to mention taking the wine, you can only sell it in your own district, and if you dare to sell it in someone else's district, you will be fined, and even disqualified as a distributor.

Speaking of those who have obtained the qualification of distributors, they are basically the first-class giants in the world, but these owners of Bashang Liquor are not simple, I heard that there are prince's shares behind them.

Some active businessmen can't help but wonder if they should also get a dealer model?

East Palace.

Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng, Wang Qi and others were deliberating.

"Your Highness, I don't know if you've heard of Bashang Liquor?" During the break in the meeting, Li Jiancheng asked the palace people to serve tea and snacks. Wei Zheng suddenly asked Li Jiancheng about the liquor industry with a teacup.

Li Jiancheng smiled, "I gave Zhang Wenyuan a decree to Zhang Wenyuan to operate this Bashang Liquor Industry." But I really didn't expect that he could make a wine shop so vigorous, and it was known all over the city. ”

Indeed, Zhang Wenyuan made an unprecedentedly dealer, dividing all parts of the world into fifteen districts. Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that this method of division is actually very innovative, and even has a reference for the imperial court. ”

Li Jiancheng was puzzled, why did Zhang Chao Distillery have anything to do with the major events of the imperial court?

Wei Zheng put down the teacup, "Your Highness, if you are unified today, although there is still some rebellion in the place, it is no longer possible to change the overall situation. Previously, in order to dominate the world, the imperial court set up a lot of stations in various places, each of which commanded dozens of states, and the military, government, and civil personnel were all under its control. ”

After pacifying Wang Shichong last year, the eastern Shaanxi Province was placed in Luoyang, and the military and civil affairs of the entire eastern Shaanxi Province were commanded, and the status was above the rest of the platforms.

When Wei Zheng talked about this at this time, Li Jiancheng and other East Palace subordinates couldn't help but nod.

The Xingtai system began in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Originally, it was a government agency on behalf of the central government established with the place where it was stationed at the time of the expedition, but in the later period of the Northern Dynasty, it was called Shangshu Daxingtai, and the establishment of official subordinates was no different from the central government, and it became an administrative system of its own.

There are Shangshu Ling, left and right servants, as well as six Shangshu and so on.

It can be said that Xingtai Province has great power at the local level, and this system is more practical in times of war. It is possible to avoid having to report everything to the imperial court for instructions, waiting for approval, and delaying the opportunity.

But after all, Xingtai is an expedient measure, and if it is unified today, and then it will be a threat to the central government. Especially for the crown prince, it is even more dangerous for the king of Qin to be the great executive of the Taishang Book Order in Eastern Shaanxi Province and to control the military and political affairs of such a large place.

Wei Zheng listened to the fact that Bashang Liquor was engaged in distributors across the country, and also divided the world into 15 distribution areas, and was greatly inspired by it.

For the crown prince, King Qin has long become a confidant.

This emperor's son-in-law, with outstanding military achievements, not only has tens of thousands of direct elites, but also strategists such as clouds and military generals like rain, but also holds countless important positions, not only the central Shangshu order, but also serves as the general of Tiance, the general of foreign conquest, and also leads the Yongzhou pastoral, and serves as the secretary of the Taishang Book of Eastern Shaanxi, and the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs of eastern Shaanxi.

Half of the country is in Li Shimin's hands.

"What does Xuancheng mean?"

"Your Highness, we can imitate the fifteenth distribution area of this Bashang Liquor Industry!"

Wei Zheng's idea was very simple, let the crown prince play the emperor, saying that if it is unified today, there is no need to keep Xingtai, and all Xingtai will be abolished. However, if it is abolished all at once, it will also greatly reduce the control of the imperial court over the localities, after all, now that they have just been unified, many places have just been annexed for a long time.

Therefore, Wei Zheng suggested that after the abolition of the local travel stations, the world should be divided into fifteen provinces, and each province should appoint an ambassador who was deposed.

"Ambassador Dethroned?" Li Jiancheng was a little surprised, but he still understood the intention of this official position.

Dethronement means to denounce and abolish it, and 陟 means to promote. The deposed ambassador is obviously a prefect who can inspect local officials, report their achievements to the central government, and make recommendations for promotion or demotion of local officials.

Even the deposed ambassador can directly deal with some officials who violate the law and violate the law without reporting it, and can dismiss officials and even go to prison.

Such an official position actually existed in the Han Dynasty, and this is a supervisor.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the country was divided into more than a dozen supervision districts, called prefectures or ministries, and each state set up a thorn or pastor to supervise all counties.

During the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang also set up a subordinate supervision state.

Now Wei Zheng proposed to divide the country into fifteen provinces, and each province sent an ambassador to summon him, which was actually to send a messenger to the local area and let them inspect the local area.

To put it bluntly, whether it is called a dethroned envoy, or a patrol envoy, an observer envoy, or even an interview envoy, a pacifying envoy, a soothing envoy, etc., its duties are all the performance of patrolling the imperial history.

They are not real local administrators, and the province is not a real administrative structure, but only a supervision district and supervision officials, who are responsible for monitoring and patrolling.

Compared with the local real power yamen such as Xingtai, which is grasped by the military and civil affairs, the responsibilities are completely different.

Replacing Xingtai Province with Supervision Dao is undoubtedly more conducive to controlling the local government for the imperial court. As far as the East Palace is concerned, if this trick can be implemented, then it can give Li Shimin a heavy blow, and without the official position of Shangshuling of the Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province and the yamen of Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province, Li Shimin's actual power will be greatly reduced.

He had no territory.

Li Jiancheng completely understood, and his eyes couldn't help but widen a lot. In the past few years, he has watched Li Shimin's achievements getting bigger and bigger, his reputation getting higher and higher, and his official position getting higher and higher, even so high that he can't be rewarded, and when he needs to set up a special Tiance general, he often can't sleep at night. After seeing the destruction of Zheng Xia, Li Shimin held the military and political power in the Kanto and Guang regions, and it was even more difficult to sleep and eat.

He dreamed of cutting off this brother's power, but he couldn't do it.

Now Wei Zheng's words really woke up the dreamer.

That's right, the world is unified, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Xu Yuanlang, Xiao Miao, etc. are all defeated, Du Fuwei, Feng An, etc. have also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need for the imperial court to retain this Xingtai system, and it is good to replace it with the supervision system at this time.

"Xuancheng is clever, and he drafts the chapter immediately." Li Jiancheng said excitedly.

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Actually, Chen also thought of it from Zhang Wenyuan's wine shop distribution area. ”

Li Jiancheng laughed a few times, "This Zhang Wenyuan is full of intelligence, but he never needs to be on top of business. Lone asked His Majesty to reinstate him, and now the will has been given for many days, but this Zhang Wenyuan has not yet come to take office, he is really lazy! Xuan Cheng, I heard that you are now his neighbor, today you go home to Zhang's house, and tell Zhang Wenyuan that tomorrow you will see others in the East Palace. (To be continued.) )
