Chapter 171: Struggle and Compromise
Ping Zhangjia looked at the performance of the young Fa Ke with a smile, and felt that this kid was becoming more and more mature. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What does it mean to be mature in officialdom?
It's about talking about what the leader feels interested in, and in the process of talking, make it easy for the leader to make a summary point......
"The Liuqiu Navy has taken the initiative to encircle and suppress pirates around Liuqiu, so that civilian merchant ships, fishing boats, and passenger ships can pass more safely and conveniently; They cut off the sea trade routes of the Tatar bandits, and it is said that prices in most of the capital have risen sharply, and the people are miserable; They defeated a large number of Persian pirates near Tianzhu, making our voyage safer and more prestigious...... It has increased a lot of commercial taxes for my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, tapped his fingers on the imperial case and said slowly: "Wealth comes from sea trade, and there must be a strong force on the sea to ensure the safety of merchants and people...... The strength of my Great Song Navy needs to be strengthened at the moment! ”
Fa Ke commanded on the Jindun and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Great Song Dynasty needs a strong naval army!" ”
This compliment flows naturally and naturally.
Pingzhang Jia Rudao sighed in his heart, the future life is terrifying......
In fact, in the whole history, there has never been a dynasty that attached so much importance to maritime commerce as the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in all periods also attached great importance to commercial development, and they issued orders related to this throughout the history...... The words of Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, are just a summary.
When the Great Song Dynasty was first established, it issued a series of edicts to favor merchants and encourage commerce, such as the edict of Taizu: "The tax rules of the merchants are regulated by the business gate, and there is no unauthorized change to increase losses and generate income." ”
Another example is Taizong's edict: "From now on, except for the currency of business travel, the small transactions of its dealers and women shall not be collected." ”
That is to say, some small transactions are not allowed to be taxed long before they are sought, and it is strictly forbidden for officials to extort money or make things difficult for merchants, and if any official illegally stays in a merchant for three days, he will be sentenced to two years' imprisonment for one year, and if he begs for property, he will be imprisoned for one year.
Even in the process of formulating some commercial laws, businessmen were invited by the Great Song Dynasty government as guests to participate in the revision of the law.
In the Taizong Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Shu was the third envoy, which is equivalent to the director of the National Development and Reform Commission in the world, and when he formulated the tea law, he invited dozens of tea merchants to negotiate and discuss various interests.
The controversy was fierce at the time.
The plan proposed by the tea merchant is that the commercial interests of tea belong to the merchants, and the result is that the merchants take too much profit; The official plan was for the state to monopolize tea, and the profits would go to the government, while the merchants would lose it.
In the end, the Great Song government adopted a compromise plan, proposing to combine public and private interests, in other words, to absorb the opinions of businessmen and add the policies of the Great Song government.
From this point of view, the Great Song government not only gave merchants a channel to express their interests in the process of commercial legislation, but also enacted laws that took care of the interests of merchants, which was almost unimaginable in other dynasties.
What's more, these are not isolated cases, but a new normal.
Of course...... Everything must be in a place that does not affect the core of imperial power, and if it is touched, it will definitely be said that it will turn its face.
Fa Ke continued: "The warships of the Liuqiu Navy do not need to shoot poles, nor do they need bed crossbows that are easily disturbed by the sea breeze...... When the pirate warship approached, the cannon window was opened, and it suddenly exploded, and the pirate ship was caught off guard, and the flesh and blood on the ship suddenly flew around!
In a few moments, the pirate ship will sink to the bottom of the sea......"
Zhao Chong, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, focused on the imperial case and said: "Between talking and laughing, the canopy is in ashes!" Let the Liuqiu Navy offer the method of shipbuilding to strengthen the prestige of our navy...... Imperial Navy, how is the name?! ”
Fa Ke ruled and arched his hand, overjoyed, and said: "Your Majesty! Learn the strengths of others and strengthen my great Song Junwei...... What kind of heart is this?! ”
Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, smiled slightly, not caring at all.
This sycophant is not unsuccessful, the Great Song Dynasty was originally an era of daring and willing to accommodate others, as long as it is advantageous, whether you are an Eastern or Western thing, they can completely accept it...... You can even let the merchants live in the city, as long as you can afford it, and if it can bring benefits, you can also make you an official...... Even if they intermarry, no one is shocked.
Therefore, Xiang Liuqiu learned the method of shipbuilding...... Why not learn?!
Pingzhang Jia seemed to be listening next to him, and he didn't speak, but his beard was about to rise.
He was happy that there was such harmony between the monarch and the ministers, second, he was happy that the dragon body of the Great Song Dynasty official family was good, and third, he thought that the law could be ruled by his own people...... This is even more important.
He didn't pay attention to the two monarchs and ministers discussing how to form the Imperial Front Naval Battalion, but quickly changed his mind in his heart.
The official's move shows that he is a little dissatisfied with the Privy Council, such a thing should have been played by the official, and they should have made a special trip to design the report, but those corrupt and old people reacted very slowly, and they may not know these things at all...... However, the law can control this opportunity well, so that the Privy Council made Wu Jian suffer a secret loss, and there is no way to confide!
As mentioned above, the Privy Council is the supreme command body of the Great Song Army, which is equivalent to the ******** of a certain country in that world, and they are responsible for the deployment of the army, the mobilization of the war, the command of the war, etc., and also lead the work of the military department.
Among them, the Privy Council Secretariat is in charge of foreign military mapping, military aircraft archives and foreign intelligence gathering.
The military department, on the other hand, only deals with the day-to-day affairs of the national army, the allocation of military expenses, the placement of personnel, the recruitment of soldiers, and so on, and also deals with the formulation of some war plans.
Among them, their staff is in charge of domestic mapping and domestic intelligence agencies, and is also responsible for the construction and mapping of related beacon fires and fortresses.
So, what is the difference between the development of armaments and the corpse meal!
Pingzhang Jia smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth, why not take this opportunity to install one of his own people in the Privy Council reasonably?!
At present, the original local envoys of the various military regions are desperate, and they all want to restore the actual work of the military and government in the theater, but they are blocked by the civilian clique......
Indeed, there was no fighting at the front everywhere, and there was no sign of the outbreak of war, and with the civilian administration of the local work, the tax revenues everywhere went up all the way, and the treasury was full!
Pingzhang Jia Rudao was also kicked out of the Privy Council, and was divided between the three divisions...... For a while, it seemed that the ancestral system had been restored.
However, fortunately, after the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Yu compromised with the civil official group, he still maintained the reuse of Pingzhang Jia Yidao, which was still tacitly accepted by the civil official group.
Therefore, Pingzhang Jia seems to have been calm for a while, and he always has to wait for an opportunity to fight back...... There's nothing more comfortable than having a monopoly on power.
Some time ago, his work was hindered too much...... He looked at the Fa Ke system, which was communicating with the officials with great interest, and thought about the young talents that could be used in his hands.
The entire political arena of the Great Song Dynasty still needs to be rearranged...... This is not called indiscriminate insertion of private forces, after all, he needs to have a certain degree of execution. (To be continued.) )
