Chapter 199: The Difficulties of the Three Divisions

The sun slowly set in the west, no longer as fierce as it was at noon, and no longer looked dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Ping looked at the pale sun, his face was heavy, and he didn't say a word. There was no surprise in the assembly, and the magistrate only raised some minor issues in the implementation and had nothing to do with the overall situation. This is, of course, because the preliminary work has been done carefully, and Yang Xue and Fang Kai's support for Xu Ping has also contributed a lot. In particular, Fang Kai, who was alone in Xiangzhou and was in charge of the western part of Beijing, was very important to the statements of the governors of the southern states. So far, Xu Ping has received unanimous support from officials on Jingxi Road.

And then what? In the name of Jingxi Road, the "Rich Country and Security Policy", not to mention the promotion of the new policy to the whole country, at least the reform of Jingxi Road cannot be interrupted, no matter what method is used, the flight ticket of Henan Mansion must be cashed. Xu Ping was sure that Lu Yijian would not object again this time. demoted Fan Zhongyan from the court, Lu Yijian seemed to have no loss, but in fact, his influence was greatly weakened. People's hearts are ethereal, but they are everywhere, and the energy to oppose the new deal Lu Yijian is not enough, and it is giving the truth to the faction that reverses Lu. Lu Yijian has been an official for many years, and when he does this, he will not detonate the volcano that opposes him himself.

The new policy will continue, but Lu Yijian will not use himself, Xu Ping knows this. Not only will it not be reused, but it may also be distributed to distant places. The reasons are ready-made, whether it is Hebei Road or Shaanxi Road, many places require people of Xu Ping's level to guard the town, and it is also beneficial for Lu Yijian to mention one or two officials to Xu Ping.

After taking a Fan Zhongyan, Lu Yijian will not let a Xu Ping who is not on the right path with him enter Beijing, otherwise Xu Ping will learn from Fan Zhongyan and fight against him Lu Yijian is really a little unbearable. It is precisely because he will not be reused that Xu Ping wants to compile this "Rich Country and Security Policy" in as much detail as possible to get as much support as possible. With this book, the imperial court will be interested in implementing the new policy, and it will be able to carry it out smoothly without Xu Ping presiding over it.

I am still young, not the sun in the waning mountains, so I don't need to care about this short time. Xu Ping's only concern is that without his participation, the new policy has changed in the process of implementation. It is obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but it is not good to be made a tool by some people for their own profits, and if they have a bad reputation, it will be difficult to clean up the mess again.

As for Li Di and Chen Yaozuo, it doesn't matter to Xu Ping whether they come or not, their status can add points to Xu Ping's political future, but not to the New Deal. But does Xu Ping's future need these two people?

Yan Shu thought it was needed, so he sat for a day, barely leaving the gate of Longxing Temple. Just with Xu Ping, even if he adds these state officials, he can fight against Lu Yijian's will? In Yan Shu's heart, he always thought that Xu Ping was messing around. Prime Minister is in charge of national affairs, what is the use of the opinions of these petty officials? They have a thousand words, but they can't resist Li Di and Chen Yaozuo coming over to show their faces. "Rich Country and People's Policy" is no longer a fanciful thing, and it can't compare to a sentence from the prime minister of the dynasty. A word can prosper the country, a word can lose the country, the key is to see who is saying this, right and wrong is really so important? Naive!

The sun is moving further and further to the west, and Yan Shu's heart is drooping. What to do? All the officials of Jingxi Road support Xu Ping, how can they return to the court? Does it mean that the New Deal won the hearts of the people in Jingxi Road, and Xu Ping won the hearts of the people, or did the New Deal disrupt the normal social order? No matter what you say, you can't make everyone satisfied, the key is to choose a position.

Yan Shu's heart struggled fiercely, like sitting on pins and needles, although the weather was not hot, he was sweating finely.

The voices in the crowd gradually stopped, and Jia Changling stepped forward and arched his hand: "Ducao, the assembly has been decided, the officials of Jingxi Road think that last year's new policy was fruitful, and the "Rich Country and People's Policy" is really a good policy for governing the country, and when it is played by the imperial court, it will benefit the world!" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "If there is no other discussion, Jia Ti's punishment can be over." ”

Jia Changling agreed, took the pleadings written by the scrivener of the superintendent, and stepped forward to present it to Xu Ping.

After skimming over the pleadings, Xu Ping raised his hand and handed it to Yan Shu beside him: "The bachelor also takes a look, and if there is any omission, I can let the officials discuss it again." ”

Where does Yan Shu have this mind? After a casual glance, he returned it to Xu Ping and said, "Very good!" ”

Xu Ping picked up the pen, drew a monogram on the book, and handed it back to Jia Changling: "That's it." It was not early, and the punishment could make the officials draw a detention, and it was dispersed. Tonight there will be a feast in this temple, and everyone does not need to leave. ”

Jia Changling received the order, took the pleadings, and together with the officials who supervised him, organized the people present at the meeting to sign and draw the pledge.

At this time, the assembly came to an end, and Xu Ping didn't need to be present, so he got up with Yan Shu and went to the clean room next to him to rest.

Halfway through, Yan Shu finally couldn't help but sigh: "Yunxing, do you really think that relying on such a meeting and a copy of "Rich Country and Security Policy", you can get the imperial court to agree to what you did on Jingxi Road?" You must know that the third division owes tens of millions of flying tickets to Henan Mansion, which is tens of millions! Even if the court agrees, where can he get this money! ”

Xu Ping said: "How can you not take it out?" The cotton cloth from Jingxi Road was indeed transported to other roads and sold, where is the money from this sale? Bachelor, the money has come out, it just depends on how the three divisions get together and return to Henan Mansion! ”

Yan Shu was stunned: "The cotton cloth is sold, but where does the third division get the money?" ”

"In the world, trading has always been about clearing money and goods, and there is no reason why you don't collect money if you sell it. The ministers of the court kept saying that the tickets of Henan Mansion were false accounts, and that was because this account was hung on the heads of various yamen, and if it was owed to people from private merchants, do you think they could say so if they did not give money after receiving the goods? The flying ticket in the hands of Henan Mansion has so many cotton cloths sold, and it is not conjured out of thin air. Didn't they think that my cotton cloth was not sold, and it was all piled up in the yard to be the real account? ”

The reasons why the three divisions could not redeem the flying tickets are very complicated, including the reasons why the old financial system is not suitable, and the reasons why the currency cycle cannot be reflected for a while, and it is also related to the economic system of the whole society. It's normal for Yan Shu to not understand, and his previous knowledge is blank in this regard.

After all, he still couldn't figure out how the three divisions could make money, so Yan Shu had no choice but to say: "Actually, it's not that there is no way, Wang Xianggong has mentioned stabilizing the price of silk and using the shopping coupons of the three divisions to offset the payment." But in this way, these shopping coupons are equivalent to advancing the income of the three stores for several years. Yunxing, you must know that the current Sansi does not have the ability to make money like when you were there, and many of the uses rely on the Sansi shop, if you advance the money, the Sansi will have a big hole! ”

That's another question, what can Xu Ping do? The income in the shop was originally born out of thin air by him to the third division, and he wanted to use it to support the reform and improve the treatment of officials to win support for himself, but he squandered the money in less than two years and disappeared.

There is a cloud in the "Book of Rites and the Imperial System": "With the general system of 30 years, the state should be within its means", this financial principle of living within the limits of income has been adhered to in China for thousands of years, although there are some people in the middle who put forward "the amount of income is the income", there are small twists and turns, but the big principle has not changed. Living within one's means, to put it simply, is how much money you have to spend on what you have, of which savings are set aside according to the principle of "three years of ploughing, you must have one year's food", and 10 years of savings are prepared for 30 years to cope with natural and man-made disasters and wars. The problem is that when it comes to real implementation, how much is spent and how much is implemented, and there is no use for saving for three years and one year, and it cannot be done in practice. After Song Liguo, Taizu built a "sealed pile warehouse", which is actually the embodiment of the principle of savings. But now, the actual saving function of the inner treasury evolved from the "sealed pile library" is getting smaller and smaller, and it has only become a tool for the emperor to control finances.

Without a budget system, the extra money is always inexplicably not known where it goes, anyway, if you have money, you will spend it, and there are more places in the world that need to spend money. When Xu Ping was in the Third Division, he could still consciously control the balance of income and expenditure within his authority, but as soon as he left, his efforts in this area were in vain.

This kind of situation of insufficient income and expenditure was the norm in Xu Ping's previous life, there were national debts, there were deficits, not to mention the income of the three divisions for a few years, that is, the wealth production capacity of the entire country dared to overdraft you for a few years. However, there must be a corresponding economic operation system to match, and in this era, the current system, there is no need to think about it at all.

There is no budget and final accounts, and even the Zhongshu and the three divisions have no bottom on income and expenditure, so the overdraft behavior is full of concerns. LΓΌ Yijian's insistence on using political means to solve economic problems is also one of the reasons, and it is also the reason why he won the support of Zhao Zhen and the support of many ministers. The prime minister of a country, no matter what he thinks in his heart, the policy must always be stated with high-sounding reasons.

Seeing Yan Shu looking at himself with blank eyes, Xu Ping said: "Henan Mansion has sold cotton cloth, and the money is really sold, and the third division naturally has to find a way to receive it in his hands." If you can receive this money, what is the income of the shop for a few years now? If you can't collect the money, it's naturally a matter of the three divisions, and it doesn't make sense for Henan Mansion and Jingxi Road to bear it. ”

This is equivalent to not saying this, Yan Shu shook his head and said nothing. If you know how to make money, where do you get all these things? Could it be that Xu Ping means that the third division is not good without him? I don't think he meant that in the past few months.

Xu Ping looked at the sun, which had slipped to the west, and sighed softly. In fact, the method has been written in the "Rich Country Security Policy", whether it is monetary policy or the settlement function of banks, it can be solved. Yan Shu couldn't understand it because he was basically blank in terms of financial management, and he didn't want to use his brain in this kind of thing. But with Lu Yijian's rich experience and his superhuman wisdom, he will definitely come up with a way. To achieve this step, Xu Ping really didn't want to use state affairs to embarrass others, so that the court had to use his own will. The twisted melon is not sweet, if you want to use yourself, you have to be sincere on the top.
