Nowadays, in addition to the capital, the most commercially developed areas in the Song Dynasty are Yingtianfu, Songzhou, Daimyofu, Luoyang, Jingzhaofu, Chang'an, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Jiangningfu, Hangzhou, and Ezhou. It is followed by Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Suzhou, Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Tanzhou, Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Jianglingfu, Guangzhou, Guizhou, Xiangzhou, Zizhou, Xingyuanfu, Fengxiangfu, Qinzhou, Hezhongfu, Zhendingfu, Qingzhou, and Qizhou. The latter was also a megacity in the Song Dynasty.

Among them, Qingzhou can at least rank in the middle of the latter cities.

So Wang Juming knew that Antao would be in trouble, but he had to choose Qingzhou as one of the central cities for publicity.

But Wang Ju was also prepared, and in order to prevent accidents, he deliberately sent the official Song Lin to Qingzhou to supervise the propaganda.

Song Lin came to Qingzhou and carefully told An Tao about his intentions.

If you're not careful, you can't do it.

Although An Tao was not a giant like Wen Yanbo in the Song Dynasty, he could be regarded as a big man, and he could not afford to be provoked by a small court official.

After listening to this, An Tao didn't say anything, waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down and rest." ”

Song Lin came to the post station to rest.

The next day, he came to Qingzhou Prefecture again, and then asked to see An Tao, and after seeing him, he asked: "An Gong, why don't you see Lubu?" ”

What is publicity, one is to post a cloth, and the other is to ask An Tao to find a square where the downtown is located for him to show the people Xinjiaozi.

But there are undoubtedly only two places where this exposed cloth is posted, one is downtown and the other is the state government.

The place of display may also have to consider how much effort it takes to post the dew cloth, a little rice cereal, plus two or three officials, and a ladder can be completed.

However, now there is nothing at the gate of the state government, and it is not nothing. There was a sea arrest proclamation for a murderer.

"I know." An Tao said impatiently.

Song Lin didn't dare to urge him, so he had to ask again: "Gong An, where is the venue for displaying Xinjiao?" ”

An Tao finally became angry and shouted: "The old land of Qingzhou and Lu has been simple since ancient times, and the prince An lured the people with profit. Sven swept the floor, His Majesty was blinded by it, but he would not be blinded by it, let alone let him bring bad customs to the people of Qingzhou. ”

Song Lin knew that he couldn't do anything, so he hurriedly returned to the capital to report.

After Wang Ju heard this, he said: "You go to Shangshu Province and invite Pu Zuocheng, Fan Youcheng, and Hubu Shilang Xie Shilang and Li Shilang to Zhongshu to discuss matters." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, Pu Zongmeng, Fan Chunren, Xie Jingwen and Li Ding were brought in.

Wang Ju briefly explained what happened.

Yan is not serious, don't take it seriously, there were many scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty who were lawless. Just like Fu Bi in Bozhou, Wang Anshi asked him to implement the Qingmiao Law, but Fu Bi just didn't implement it, and he also incited the people to make trouble and protest.

That's what I'm doing, what else can you Wang Anshi do!

In fact, Wang Ju also violated the imperial court's edicts many times in the local area.

Moreover, this is only propaganda, and it is not time to implement it.

The problem is that not only An Tao is a Zhizhou, but more than a dozen Wang Ju's political enemies released by Zhao Ji last year are eighty percent of them serving as Zhizhou. Jia Yi went to Raozhou, and Wang Yansu went to Yizhou. Liang Tao went to Chuzhou, and Liu Zhi went to Lizhou...... There is also a big guy Wen Yanbo in Hangzhou.

This is Wang Ju's political enemy released from the court last year, and there are many prefects in various states who are hostile to Wang Ju or hostile, such as Yin Liu Zhen of Jingzhao Mansion!

If these governors learn from An Tao one by one, there will be no way for this banking department to be implemented.

Wang Ju looked at Fan Chunren and said, "Fan Gong, you have always opposed the change of the law before. It is nothing more than that there are indeed some shortcomings in the reform of the law, and it also disturbs the people. But what about the banking division now? Yes, the Qi business tax has indeed been rejected by some powerful tycoons, but this market will be able to grow because of the emergence of the banking department. Just like I did in Quanzhou, that is, although these people pay some business taxes, they will get more. It's the loan sharks that really hit it. Fan Gong, is it wrong to crack down on usury? ”

Don't tell me anything about loving the people, but are usurers also loving the people?

"You have a good relationship with An Tao, how can I deal with this when An Tao does this?"

Before the reform, Zhongshu had the right to punish officials, and after the reform, it would be handed over to the province for deliberation at most, but it turned out that the transfer or punishment of officials in Zhongshu also needed the permission of the emperor and the two systems.

Moreover, Zhao Ji allowed Wang Ju to give more cheap power, and the two bigwigs in Menxia Province were both ministers of the new party.

"I'll write to him to let him know."

"Is there still time? Is it too late, with his hatred of me, to listen to your persuasion? I have always advocated treating things and not people, but is An Tao doing this to things and people, is it a gentleman's behavior? ”

In the military, Fan Chunren really didn't dare to question Wang Ju, but some time ago, he was really worried about silk materials.

As a result, Lubu posted it, the truth was revealed, and he was dumbfounded.

As for how many businessmen or other people took the initiative to buy silk for the imperial court for the deed shares of the banking department, this doesn't matter, but it definitely has nothing to do with the department.

Only then did he think of what Wang Ju said, you love the people, I love the people even more!

But at this time, he still thinks that An Tao is a gentleman, and at most he is a little petty.

He muttered, "Taibao, what do you say?" ”

"Move to Shaanzhou."

"No," Zhang said.

The position of Shaanzhou in the Song Dynasty was extremely important, and the important thing was the transportation, especially Sanmenxia, but the bitterness was also forced on the Sanmenxia.

Think about how many goods have to be transferred to Shaanxi every year, and the ships are immediately blocked when they arrive at Sanmenxia, either forcibly pulled by slender men, or moved ashore and slowly pushed by small cars, which requires a lot of hard labor.

Later, the exemption law was changed, a little better, but only slightly, think about the Song Dynasty more than 400,000 errand soldiers, but the annual payment is less than 7 million yuan, although there are many short-term services, but per capita apportionment, how much money can be given in a working day.

As a result, Shaanzhou was an important state in the Song Dynasty, but its economic impact was minimal.

However, the problem is not in Shaanzhou, but in Luoyang, near Shaanzhou, think about how many scheming old guys are "harboring" in Luoyang.

"Zi is thick, and he can't help himself. There's nothing wrong with that, if he were to be transferred somewhere else, maybe there would be a lot of crazy attacks on me. It's in Shaanzhou. Although it is not as important as Qingzhou, it is fortunately not far from the capital. ”

Zhang Dian also wanted to say, Fan Chunren said: "That's it." ”

He was not afraid of Zhang Dan, but afraid of Li Ding.

…………

"Brother Zihou, this fish roe stewed tofu is good, super brain nourishing." Wang Ju said.

Where can Zhang Dian take care of what to make up for his brain. Sitting at the table, he said, "Zi'an, if you deal with it like this this time, maybe it will really ruin your plan." ”

As the veil of the banking department gradually lifted, Zhang Duan also had a clear understanding.

It is not so easy, all kinds of systems, business processes, talents, gold and silver reserves, and the amount of Jiaozi must have a clear control. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the price of gold and silver in the market, if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose all your efforts.

This is not the key, what is critical is the Qi business tax and the impact on usury, which is the real impact, not the Qingmiao Law, which cannot even shake the skin of usury.

But fortunately, the Song Dynasty suffered two heavy defeats. Although it was the misfortune of the front-line generals and the common people, it was the great luck of Wang Ju to launch the banking department.

In the limelight. The emperor supported it, the people were encouraged, and even if some people objected, they couldn't turn the storm up.

But Wang Ju softened when he was critical.

This is soft, and if you don't get it right, you can release a very bad signal.

"Brother Zihou, I understand what you said. But when An Tao arrives in Shaanzhou, will he keep to himself? One is a mistake, and the second time is called repeated teaching! ”

"That's ...... so"

"This is my plan for the future, if the banking department can successfully roll it out. Coupled with miscellaneous grains, as long as the future people are not so mediocre, it is enough for my dynasty to continue to establish the country for two or three hundred years. ”

If you meet Zhao Ji, the master, and then there is a bank, it will not be good.

"Two or three hundred years ......"

"Two or three hundred years is not a short time, unless the imperial court can see a little and allow the other side to move 200,000 poor people every year, every year, one can control the population, and the other is to constantly dilute the proportion of the extremely poor people, then the founding time may be a little longer. But this is impossible, and the other side can house 200,000 households every year. ”

"Zi'an, speaking of this, I also wonder if there are more than 35,000 families who have migrated on the other side in the past two years."

"I know, too, but what you don't know is that the maritime merchants racked their brains almost every day to settle these people. Largely because of my proposal, they sent a large fleet to the farther east and discovered the two rich continents of Ruoda. ”

Of course, compared to Australia, the two continents are undoubtedly richer, both mineral and habitable.

So the seafarers on the other side were moved.

Wang Ju said half-truths and half-truths, and Zhang Dian was not suspicious.

In fact, Zhang Dian has a favorable attitude towards the migrants.

You must know that he himself was almost drowned by his parents because his parents couldn't support more children.

"How many people are there on the other side now?"

"More than three million." Wang Ju didn't dare to tell the truth.

"Zi'an, to be honest, do you think the Song Dynasty can really rule the other side."

"How do you look at it, if it is just a feud like now, the other side will always submit to China, and the annual donation of gold or silver or commercial goods equivalent to 150,000 taels of gold will not be interrupted."

Wang Ju used the word "China", not the Song Dynasty, but Zhang Dian didn't care, he thought that Wang Ju used it to distinguish between inland and overseas.

"If Da Song intervenes too deeply, the other side will definitely be disgusted. There is no other reason, the politics on the other side are more enlightened, but the officials of our dynasty are not parents and officials, but high masters, and the people are not children, but lowly slaves, so I govern on a large scale, and these high-ranking officials are managed in large numbers, and most of the officials on the other side will be cut off from the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Zi'an, what are you going to do when you return to the other side in six years?"

"Brother Zihou's question is meaningful...... But it may not be what you think, once I return to the other side after six years, I have two tasks, one is to continue to reform a more enlightened system, with the system of the other side, the mirror of the Central Plains, and the other is to continue to study mathematics, it is not mathematics, I will now name it science, the development of science and technology is the real way out for this nation. And Brother Zihou, do you think that once the Western Xia is destroyed, what can I do in the court? Do you want to learn from Cao Bingong or Li Jing? ”

This is still a half-truth.

However, some of them are not false.

If there is a successful enlightened system on the other side, and there is a vast space to accommodate more people, then it is likely that the first industrial revolution will be launched in two or three hundred years, guided by his various writings.

Although there are many things that he can't get out, this guidance is very important, and having a direction for research and development is not the same thing as not having a direction for research and development.

Then, in 500 years, maybe the second industrial revolution will take place on the other side ahead of schedule.

If it can be realized, coupled with the possession of such a large territory, then there will be no crisis for this nation.

However, it is equivalent to answering Zhang Dian's question, after I passed, I was not the emperor.

As for whether he will be a lord of the country, Wang Ju has not yet figured it out.

In fact, not only Zhangdun, but also many people are also thinking about this issue. However, everyone is not too careless, that is, Wang Ju is a soil emperor on the other side, what can he do, unless the other side really migrates 200,000 households from the Song Dynasty every year.

Besides, six years later, I don't know what kind of change it is, maybe Wang Ju will stay in the emperor and not leave.

Therefore, Zhang Dian only asked curiously, and did not pay much attention, and he said: "What if there is no such kind of food, and the banking department?" ”

Wang Ju was silent for a long time.

Don't look at the fact that he is now migrating a lot of people to leave every year, in fact, a large number of people have left, and the population of the Song Dynasty continues to expand.

Besides, as soon as he returns to the other side, he is afraid of all kinds of fears, and the court will not let the other side move the people so unscrupulously.

Then it is only a population crisis, and without the Jin people going south, the Song Dynasty may not be able to survive one or two hundred years.

Wang Ju didn't speak, but Zhang Dian already understood.

He said: "Zi'an, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to the banking department, I support you in dealing with them." ”

Not only An Tao, An Tao is just the beginning, think about Wen Yanbo, are they willing? Fortunately, Fu Bi is dying in Luoyang, otherwise it will be more difficult for Wen Fu and the two to join forces.

Zhang Dian went back after eating.

Wang Ju called Han Yun and asked, "Is the shopkeeper in Shaanzhou reliable?" ”

"You mean Zhu Chun?"

"It's the one named Zhu Chun."

"Reliable."

"Does anyone else know about your relationship with Zhu Chun?"

"No, these dozen shopkeepers, outsiders don't know my connection with them."

"That's good, you let him do something."

Wang Ju will not be restrained, if that happens, even if he fails twice, Wang Ju will return to the other side in disgrace. So let's all do it, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind! (To be continued.) )
