Wu Haogu had a good relationship with Ji Yi before, so he talked to him about some ideas for developing Dahaizhou.

In Wu Haogu's view, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty should be centered on Haizhou, not Kaifeng. Because Haizhou is located at the junction of the Central Plains and the Jianghuai River, and is close to the sea, there are canals and waterways to communicate the north-south Grand Canal system.

It can be said that in the 11th century, it was the most accessible area in China. Moreover, Xuzhou, which is next to Haizhou, was the "industrial center" of China at this time. There are coal mines in Xuzhou, there are iron mountains, and porcelain kilns are distributed around it. At this time, the world's largest "coal and iron industry" center should be Xuzhou. Most of the porcelain produced around Xuzhou and other parts of the Central Plains were shipped through Haizhou Port and Yangzhou Port.

Compared with Haizhou, Yangzhou is too far away from the Central Plains, which is not conducive to absorbing the capital and technology of the Central Plains. If the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is planned scientifically and reasonably, the economic center should definitely be placed in Haizhou, not Kaifeng Mansion, where food is a problem.

Wu Haogu even thought that he could move the capital of the Great Song Dynasty from Kaifeng Mansion to Haizhou!

Those who moved the capital to Luoyang or moved the capital to Jingzhaofu (Chang'an) are all crazy words in the eyes of Wu Haogu, a Kaifeng person. The capital is located in Kaifeng, and the problem of feeding more than one million Kaifeng people has made it difficult for the canal system to bear the burden. If you really go to Luoyang and Chang'an, the big guys will starve to death.

Due to the increasingly poor land in Guanzhong and the Central Plains in the north, the land where the capital was built must have a low-cost water transportation that could connect Bashu, Jiangnan and Jinghu. Therefore, in Wu Haogu's view, if the Jingkang change occurs in the future, it can replace Kaifeng as the Central Plains city of the world's best capital, as long as Haizhou is bordered by the Canghai Sea in the east and Xiangyang on the edge of the Han River (Xiangyang is barely considered the Central Plains). And because Xiangyang is not a coastal city, its development potential is far less than that of Haizhou.

Of course, it is impossible to move the capital to the land of Xuhai or Xiangyang in peace and ease. What Wu Haogu can do now is to lay out silently.

But the question is, how will Haizhou develop? It is impossible for Wu Haogu to go to Haizhou to be the governor, but the order of Qishan County can be for a term. But he can't leave the Jiehe Commercial Market......

"What is Brother Memory going to do?" Wu Haogu asked.

Ji Yi smiled: "Da Lang should know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, right?" ”

What do you mean? Wu Haogu was stunned.

Ji recalled: "I think in a few months, there will be many officials of the New Party who will leave Beijing in disgrace, right?

Da Lang thinks, is it possible for the official family and the queen mother to want to ease the contradictions between the two parties? Is it possible to set a bottom line for officials who have been demoted in party disputes? ”

In fact, there are two kinds of degraded officials in the Song Dynasty, one is to have a real position to be degraded, generally Zhizhou, Zhijun, and the title of a bachelor. Ministers who had lost in court battles sometimes asked for their own release, which was called "please county". This is a "degrading official" without losing dignity. There is also a kind of Sima who is given an empty head of what kind of regimental training deputy envoy, and then he will be placed in a certain place. The last one is to be placed in charge of a certain place, which is exile, but it is more official than ordinary prisoners.

As for the seizure of the text since the birth, it is managed in a certain place, this is not a demotion to an official, but an official who has not done it.

However, the punishment of "chasing the text since his birth, and arranging and managing it in a certain place" is inappropriate for Zhang Dun, who has been the prime minister for seven years, and his most ugly thing is that he is sent according to an empty head, and Danzhou is in charge.

"The bottom line of degrading officials?" Wu Haogu understood a little, "What do you mean...... The demotion stops in Haizhou? ”

Ji Yi nodded and said: "The old and new parties have been fighting so far, and the worst method is undoubtedly to chase down the officials to a far and evil place. On this Danzhou road, I don't know how many new and old hatreds. If you want to be moderated, the best way is to demote the officials closer. ”

The demotion of officials is actually a punishment method for civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, the heads of these scholars and doctors cannot be cut off, and the family does not seem to be copied - the old and new parties have bitten it, and I have not heard of whose house has been copied, and the wife and concubine have become official prostitutes or something.

Therefore, everyone can only make a fuss about degrading officials, degrading them far away, and send them to Yalong Bay to see the sea! Yalong Bay is certainly a good place in the 21st century, but the Song Dynasty was a wild and barren place at that time. There is nothing delicious or fun, but there are a lot of deadly infectious diseases, and it is common for them to go and never return.

And when the demotion of officials became a fatal matter, the hatred between the old and new parties grew deeper and deeper, and the struggle in the court gradually became worse. There are fewer people who talk about things, and more people who take revenge.

Ji Yi then said: "Now that the members of the old and new parties are getting old, if they really want to go to Lingnan again, I am afraid that they will have to be thrown away in the wilderness."

It's better to go to Haizhou, where the scenery is good, the road is not far, and the food is good. I know that Dalang has a lot of land over there, just by the sea, and he is also facing Yuntai Mountain by the county seat of Qishan. More houses could be built there, or rented or sold to officials who had been degraded to Haizhou. You can also build some restaurants, tea shops, green buildings, and port wharves over there, so that those officials have a place to have a place to have fun.

The money for building a house and repairing the dock does not need to be begged by Da Lang and Brother Eleven, it is all paid by the lower officials, and the lower officials find someone to handle it, I believe that they will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Well, the demotion of officials has also depreciated GDP...... This Ji Yi really fought hard not to go to Hainan Island! But his idea is still good.

"Dalang, I think it's okay." Pan Xiao'an said, "There are still many members of the old party who are suffering in the miasma. If there is a bottom line that stops at Haizhou, won't they be able to return north immediately? ”

Ji Yi also said: "Yes, there is no one who is an official now who is not afraid of being relegated to the Far Evil Military State...... If you go to that kind of place, even if you have thousands of family fortunes, it will be empty! If Your Majesty can spare the suffering of the officials, he will definitely be praised as a wise king. ”

Ji Yi is right! Most of those degraded officials have tens of thousands of family fortunes, and the Great Song Dynasty is not popular for copying homes. Wu Haogu thought to himself: Most of the money they worked hard to embezzle will also be brought to Haizhou together. In this way, Haizhou City will have abundant funds, and combined with Haizhou's important position in the foreign trade of the Great Song Dynasty, it will easily evolve into a financial center - the financial center cannot be placed in Jiehe City, and it is really a thief to be placed there! In case Emperor Zuo is poor and crazy, who will come to grab a handful?

As for Kaifeng Mansion, the current financial center of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also unreliable, once the city is besieged, tens of millions of taels of silver, millions of taels of gold, and countless copper coins in the city will all belong to the Jurchens!

Therefore, there must be a "sub-center", and this "sub-center" is most suitable to be opened in Haizhou. In this way, once Jingkang's shame could not be avoided, Wu Haogu would be able to use the method of interest rate differential (that is, opening high-interest financing in Haizhou) to siphon out most of the cash in Kaifeng Prefecture. In this way, even if Kaifeng Mansion was breached, the Jurchens would not be able to grab any money.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled at Ji Yi and said, "Okay, you should be able to try this matter, and I will go into the palace to talk to the official family when I go back." ”

There is no opinion on demoting Zhang Dian to Haizhou to Wu Haogu, but Ji Yi, a villain, still has to find a way to send it to a distant evil place in the future......

When sending the joyful Ji Yi out of Panjiayuan, Wu Haogu thought about the whole person again, in addition to Ji Yi, there was also a Chen Youwen who had to be repaired well, but he couldn't let him get away in Kaifeng Mansion!

……

"Brother Eleven," After sending Ji Yi away, Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an began to discuss how to help Zhao Ji get money for his private house, "Why don't we invest in Haizhou for the private house of the official family?" ”

"Invest in Haizhou? What do you do? Pan Xiao'an asked.

"Let's make cloud tea first." Wu Haogu said. Of course, he wouldn't have immediately offered to open a bank or a real estate company.

Wu Haogu's business is very powerful, and the first thing to start with must be a project with less investment, more returns, and quick results. Seeing the benefits, it is better to further expand.

And famous tea was such a lucrative business in the Song Dynasty! Well, it's not ordinary tea, but famous tea.

What kind of dragon and phoenix cake is sold for a few hundred dollars a catty, it's a casual thing! This is the value of famous tea...... At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, luxury became a trend, and luxury goods were naturally easy to earn.

And how can ordinary tea become a luxury? It's certain that something is good, but can a few hundred pounds of tea be bad? But it's not enough, you have to have a royal warrant.

It is to let Song Huizong advertise by himself and praise the Yunwu tea on Yuntai Mountain in Haizhou as "imperial tea", which is worth a hundred times.

Of course, not all cloud tea can be used as a luxury. How big can the market be for luxury goods? Wu Hao Guke plans to treat Yuntai Mountain's Yunwu tea as a brand-name product and operate it well. You can grow a variety of tea trees on Yuntai Mountain, settle tea farmers, and gradually form a large industry.

Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then said, "We can start a trading house...... It's called PTZ Xing, how about it? ”

"Do you want to start a trading house?"

"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded, "There must be a trading house, otherwise what should I do?" It can't be called Ying Fengju, right? This is the private room of the official family. ”

Pan Xiao'an thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right!" Or Da Lang you think thoughtfully, if you make a bureau, it is the yamen, all aspects have to be managed, and it is inconvenient for the official family to use money. ”

"yes, that's how I put it." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "Yuntai Bank is the private house of the official family, and it is necessary to play the signboard of the commercial house to the outside world." ”

If you play the signboard of the commercial house again, the major shareholder is also Zhao Ji! The old foxes who are really familiar with the officialdom will definitely know in the future!

In this way, the PTZ line will be able to play a little edge ball. For example, to get an iron mine and coal mine in Xuzhou to play, to create some taboo armor - of course, to reward the military attache for the official Zhao Ji, and you can also dig up some craftsmen from the weaving bureau, embroidery institute and official kiln, and go to Xuzhou and Haizhou to develop the textile industry and porcelain industry.

In short, with the background of the official private house, there are still a lot of things that the PTZ can do!
