The more Wang Ju said, the more annoyed he became, if he was in the Yanhe Hall just now, Sun Gu could still understand that he wanted peace in the court.

Lao Wang will not "balance" himself, and Cai Zhang Lufeng does not want to balance himself anymore, so he needs Sun Gu to balance himself.

But Zhao Ji had already invited Zhang Xingguan to dinner, and seemed to muttered to Sun Gu warningly, but this old guy was still endless.

Therefore, Wang Ju continued to reprimand: "Sun Gu, I ask you, okay, the implementation of the spirit of humanity, the other side can do it, and the combination of grace and power plus joint relatives will at least reduce the fighting in the villages and towns by more than half." But what will happen in another 50 years? ”

If it is not Jiaozhi Dali, this is the other side of the sea separated by thousands of miles.

The only thing that can be contacted is the bloodline, once the bloodline is diluted, who still admits that he is from the Song Dynasty.

It's not from the Song Dynasty, why did the Song Dynasty send officials to settle in and manage it?

Speaking of this, Wang Ju thought of a country in his previous life.

In fact, the higher his status, the more he recalls his past life, and the two are so similar...... Weak, clumsy diplomacy.

Especially the surrounding area, it's terrible.

But the situation is different in different countries, the stick is divided into two, and there are still ambitions...... However, the stick is not always harmful.

The Japanese people are united, intelligent, and industrious, and what is even more terrifying is that they are martial and cruel. This is a fierce opponent, but fortunately, their small territory and poor resources are also beginning to decline.

Ah Sancheng is like a joke, stupid, lazy, and there are so many people. However Z South. It's really a teardrop in the hearts of all Chinese.

However, the three countries are still slightly understood. The stick and the Japanese country have advanced technology and developed economy, so they have some arrogance. Ah San is barely a big country, at least a country with a large population.

But how dare a few monkey countries in the South China Sea repeatedly provoke the Celestial Empire?

However, there is no hurry, not those monkeys are the most hateful, there is also a country, Menru.

Past life. Wang Ju was very happy when he heard that the people of the outer gate wanted to return. However, the terrible truth was later revealed. People don't want to return at all, but think that the Celestial Empire has invaded their territory, so in their hearts, it is not to return, but to take back the inner gate.

This is not terrible, it is their daydream-like gate-ru complex, so they hate the Celestial Empire, hate the people of the Celestial Empire, and think that the people of the Celestial Empire are liars and robbers. It is the lowest of the peoples. Dare to love is still dreaming of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Han nationality is listed as the lowest ethnic group.

The USSR fell. I had to beg the Celestial Empire, and with the clumsy diplomacy of the Celestial Empire, I was very happy to hear it, and immediately came to the door with all kinds of help.

However, the actual truth is that when they see the people of the Celestial Empire, the people of the outer gate will immediately pounce on them and beat them, and the boss of the outer gate not only beats the workers of the Celestial Empire, but also sprays anti-wolf spray. Are the Menru people so bad? That's wrong again, on the contrary, the inner gate people are the quietest people in the Celestial Empire, and rarely cause trouble.

Why is it that they are separated by a national border, but they are worlds apart? In fact, the reason is very simple, the repeated brainwashing of the Russians and the Soviet Union forced them to speak Russian and use the Russian script, and even slaughtered 70,000 Menru nobles and elites during the Soviet rule, when the population of Menru was only 700,000. Violence, terror, massacres, and repeated brainwashing finally made this group of outsiders so much that they didn't even know who the was.

So what if Wang Ju implements the system of envy and affinity on the other side, and then brainwashes repeatedly?

And the object is eighty percent of the uncivilized natives, can it not be successful?

Or is it only a part of the courtship, continue to prohibit intermarriage, woo, get closer, how can we put an end to intermarriage?

Then at most fifty years, the bloodline on the other side will be almost diluted.

Wang Ju wants this result?

Therefore, the more Wang Ju thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and continued to reprimand:

"The Han Dynasty is anyone who offends my Han Dynasty, although it is far away, it will be punished. Even when the Wuhu is chaotic, in the face of the Hu people's ironclad elite horseman, the Central Plains gates are still high, although we are at the end of the moment, we are still the most civilized race in the world! Although you are powerful, you are still a bunch of uncivilized beards! even forced the Northern Wei Dynasty to take the initiative to learn Han etiquette, wear Han costumes, and even move the capital, and take the initiative to integrate with the Han people. In the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to court. But what about me? The ancestral family law attaches importance to internal governance and people's livelihood, and cannot be like Emperor Tang Ming, who dethroned the army and harmed the people, so that the country can be stable for a long time. However, our ancestors made us arrogant, extremely fierce internally, and so weak externally that we almost kowtowed! ”

"Sun Gu, I know you're not convinced. Why not be convinced? It's nothing more than that I'm tough on the outside. Today's repeated provocations, the actual reason is simpler, that is, I also have a few boats in my hands! But I'm just useless, since I entered Beijing, have the Tangut people dared to invade in the past half a year? Why do you provoke me again and again! An old thing with a dirty mind! ”

"Here it is, here it is," thought many middle-aged ministers.

Lao Wang tightened his eyebrows and wanted to cry without tears.

It's all gods, and the old stuff is roaring out.

Zhao also complained of headaches.

Sun Gu's performance today was too much.

However, Wang Ju is also extremely arrogant.

You are all prime ministers, alas, what kind of system is this?

He waved his hand weakly and said, "Come on, send Wang Ju and Sun Gu out of the palace." ”

Go home and rest.

When Wang Ju returned home, Zhang Quanzhi asked, "Zi'an, how did Zhang Xingguan and them enter the palace?" ”

"Don't mention it."

Although Sun Gu made Wang Ju scold him so much, Wang Ju himself was also angry.

Wang Ju told me what happened.

"What does your majesty mean by this?"

"Nothing else, remember what I said at the end of last year? The officials want to reform the system, and why they want to reform the system, is to concentrate power. ”

Yuanfeng's restructuring has been on the agenda since last year, and the reason for the restructuring is that the original Song Dynasty bureaucracy was hampered at all levels, resulting in serious redundancy.

The starting point is good, if Wang Ju wants to do things, he needs this restructuring even more.

Because the imperial power will be concentrated, and the relative power will also be concentrated.

However, thinking of the restructuring and Cai Jing, Wang Ju didn't know whether this restructuring was good or bad.

If the emperor is diligent and the prime minister is wise, then this reform is undoubtedly a step forward. To some extent, it also put an end to the serious redundant political ills of the Song Dynasty. However, if the emperor is negligent. The prime minister is Cai Jing again. On the contrary, the harm is endless.

So Wang Ju has not expressed his position.

But the actual significance of this restructuring is that Zhao Ji wants to recover some of his rights and strengthen the imperial power.

However, this right cannot be seen or touched, is it possible that the prime ministers of the two governments do not do things together and hand over all government affairs to Zhao Ji to deal with. Zhao Ji doesn't have Zhu Yuanzhang's skills.

As long as Zhao Ji does not deal with it and continues to let the two governments deal with it, then this right is actually still in the hands of the prime ministers of the two governments.

Therefore, restructuring is necessary, and balance cannot be ignored. Just like the two houses now. Except for Lao Wang, the eastern mansion is all radicals, and the western mansion is all conservative. This balance can be seen in all ministries and departments, not only in the two ministries.

Wang Anshi's reform cannot be said to be useless, at least it has solved the country's difficult finances, although there are many drawbacks, but it has also dealt a blow to some of the original drawbacks. But the problem is that because of his changes, the entire scholarly class was divided into two factions.

Therefore, no matter which person does something, it will be infinitely magnified.

And Zhao Ji himself took the lead in playing balance in order to impose imperial power, which made Wang Ju do things?

"Don't the officials trust you very much?"

"The officials trust me. But the official family doesn't trust Sun Gu? He is the teacher of the official family, alas. ”

Zhang Quanzhi was speechless.

"By the way, one of them has a very big eye. A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, what's his name? ”

Zhang Quanzhi thought about it for a while and said: "The person Zi'an said is probably Tuan Jinda, this kid, I will definitely teach him a good lesson when I go back." ”

Even the minister standing at the back of the palace today is also a middle-level Beijing official, can he mess around on that occasion?

"It's okay, he's quite bold."

Why did he deliberately write in the 20 rules for officials that the people were allowed to sue the officials and protect them? is to break the respect and official-oriented thinking that Wang Ju hates.

Therefore, Wang Ju liked it very much.

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "In the future, you can put him in the inspection team or the criminal department to do things." ”

He told Zhao Ji that if you put the right people in the right places, things will be done.

But it was difficult to do in the Song Dynasty.

In particular, the current scholars and doctors are all all-round talents, who can be literate and martial, and also understand water conservancy, agriculture and animal husbandry, and commercial economics......

However, on the other side, Wang Ju was able to implement his idea, and the basic institution in the future was still the Tang Dynasty's six-ministry system, six ministries or six Cao.

However, officials in the Ministry of Officials must have the ability to recognize people and have the ability to handle government affairs. The officers and men of the Ministry of Rites must be well-educated and have good conduct. The officials of the military department must be good at military affairs, not Sun Gu and the like. Officials of the Ministry of Industry must be good at "strange skills and ingenuity" and understand water conservancy and agriculture. Officials in the household department must be good at mathematics and have economic talents. As for the officials of the criminal department, they must be upright.

Not everyone may use it correctly, but at least it is much stronger than the all-round talent of the Song Dynasty.

"It's okay, Zi'an, after this trouble, will the official family demote you from the court?"

Wang Ju shook his head.

Not to mention that the other side has not yet reached an agreement, and he has not yet proposed the Qi business tax, and if he degrades it, Sun Gu will also depreciate it.

Suddenly, two strange sounds came from Wang's huge belly.

Wang Ju smiled and said outside, "Concubine, bring me something to eat." ”

Just as he was about to sit down to eat, the little yellow door came, and King Xuan entered the palace again.

Wang Ju had no choice but to re-enter the palace, but his face was very dissatisfied.

It turned out that Wang Ju and Sun Gu were sent out of the palace, and the palace food was also served later, so let's eat.

The palace maid was serving wine and food, and these seafarers began to mumble.

I'm used to staying at sea, and even though it's muttering, it's not so loud that anyone on the side can hear it.

At the beginning, I asked Sun Gu, who was that person. Someone replied that it was about Sun Xianggong of Xifu.

Xianggong, the other seafarers are worried together.

They are businessmen, Sun Gu is the prime minister, the difference between the two positions is too big, if Sun Gu wants to hack them.

So after a moment of silence, some people said, contentment, we don't want to immigrate.

And yes, we won't give any more gold.

All the ministers on the side pricked up their ears together, and there was a large gold mine on the other side, and many people began to know about it. Donate gold, that minister is not coming to the spirit.

At this time, another seafarer said, "What should I do if I have less insurance?"

Although Shaobao has a great favor to us, we should also be clear.

Everybody gets the idea. Shao Bao is Wang Ju. Why Wang Ju has influence on these seafarers. There are no more than two. Among these maritime merchants, Wang Ju and the ten merchant fleets in Yanzhou occupied a certain number.

Of course, the ten merchants in Yanzhou will not send people this time.

One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is to come, and they will inevitably be questioned many times, and they are all curious, how many ships Wang Ju and they have in their hands.

In fact, in order to prevent others from interrogating, all ten merchants also migrated overseas.

And after so many years of development. Some bustling small and medium-sized cities have also emerged overseas. Moreover, as one of the founders, some of them entered the power center, some started their own businesses, and of course, a few children began to enjoy themselves by virtue of a large amount of dividends every year.

It doesn't matter what, as long as you don't do evil, you can enjoy it no matter what, but this is a good phenomenon to stimulate consumption.

Secondly, these maritime merchants are the guidance of Wang Ju and go to the other side. It has the scale it is today.

However, when the favor will eventually come to an end, especially when Wang Ju goes south. They donated so much money, if Wang Ju asked too much and caused them to be disgusted, Wang Ju would have no influence on them.

In short, Sun Gu's toss probably made these seafarers have doubts.

Originally, after Zhao Ji prepared the palace banquet, he asked about other situations on the other side, and then negotiated with the two sides and reached an agreement. However, because of this doubt, after eating, these seafarers got up and took their leave, in the name of fatigue.

"It's so rude," Lu Gong said hatefully.

You businessmen, what do you think of us as the emperor?

But why, was it because of this that they were arrested and beheaded?

There was no way, Zhao Ji had no choice but to let Xiaohuangmen summon Wang Ju into the palace again.

After listening to this, Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, they are all maritime merchants, they have been floating on the sea all the year round, they are all a group of people who are not afraid of death, and they have repeatedly donated so much money and food to the imperial court, but Sun Gu has undoubtedly disappointed them today. The fatal thing is that Sun Gu is the prime minister of the imperial court, what do they think? ”

It's just one sentence, and everyone reminisces about it together.

People are afraid of death, will they still drift on the sea?

Moreover, their families moved to the other side together, and they could contact the bloodline as Wang Ju said, so they felt unfair, so they returned to their unruly nature together.

It's just such a group of people, what's the use of being angry.

Feng Jing said: "Sven sweeps the floor. ”

"Feng Gong, they are businessmen, where do they come from. It's a big deal that the imperial court doesn't appoint officials to manage it, and it doesn't expect to use them to get a lot of gold and silver. ”

How can it be?

So many people, so much territory.

Besides, without gold and silver, what will happen to the future banking department that "uses the state without taxes"?

Feng Jing's mouth opened, and he finally fell silent.

Wang Ju said to Zhao Ji again: "Your Majesty, the ancestral family law attaches importance to internal governance and people's livelihood, so it is said that Qi people are not willing to give away friends rather than domestic slaves." Therefore, the minister was dissatisfied with Sun Gu's lowly behavior, and his words were a little intense, and he hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. ”

Sun Gu is the prime minister, my teacher, it's not enough for the old thing to come out, the lowly is here again, and I want to forgive. Zhao Ji thought depressedly in his heart, and waved his hand weakly and said, "Don't talk about this matter anymore, what about those seafarers?" ”

"The minister went to the post house and asked."

Wang Ju went to the post house again, and everyone was very happy to see him.

Wang Ju nuzzled and asked the two of them to stand at the door to prevent others from coming in, and then said, "You have done a good job today." ”

"Shaobao, what's going on with that Sun Xianggong?"

"He's from Wen Yanbo's faction."

Wang Ju didn't explain much, but with just one sentence, everyone understood, Wang Ju's political enemies, can they not make things difficult.

Wang Ju asked about the situation on the other side again, and finally said: "Ladies and gentlemen, after I make an agreement with Your Majesty today, you had better stay less and go back in two or three days." ”

Not to go back to the other side, but to Hangzhou Quanzhou.

But when you come all the way to the capital, you have to let them take a turn.

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he returned to the palace.

He said: "Your Majesty, the minister and they have made three demands, the first of which is that the price must be fair when the market is purchased. ”

"Wang Qing, I also sent someone to inquire about this matter, and after those new things came out, the officials of the City Department didn't know how much they would sell."

"However, in the end, after the market sold at a low price and a high price, he did not make any statement."

"This ......"

"In fact, the money has already entered the inner treasury and can no longer be set back. So he pretended to be deaf and dumb. This made the minister think of the time when Jiefu Gong implemented the law of the city. Shiyi shochu with bamboo paper. In the past, the ten merchants in Yanzhou were grateful for the support of their ministers. That's why there are all kinds of donations. This is an act of righteousness, but it is not their responsibility. Why did Jiefu set such a low price and such a large quantity? ”

"Wang Jiefu is also kind, so that more scholars can use cheap bamboo paper."

But has he ever wondered, how much does it cost? What is the yield? Could it be that in order for scholars to use cheaper bamboo paper, should ten merchants go bankrupt? Your Majesty, can our Great Song Shangjia's enlightenment reach such a height? Maybe Jiefu Gong is kind, but why did he choose a soju workshop and a bamboo paper workshop? Actually, the reason is very simple. Because these two workshops have ministers involved, in order to avoid suspicion for the reputation of the career, the ministers cannot complain. Many donations in the past show that ten merchants have good intentions, and it will be easy to implement low-cost purchases with kindness. ”

is still the same sentence, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

The relevant officials of the Hangzhou Shipping Division also have this mentality, and the maritime merchants have donated many times and have good intentions, so they know that the price is very low. Still silent. If the officials have such a mentality, who would dare to do good deeds? Again. That perfume and righteous ointment can barely be counted into the incense, but can that kind of timekeeping instrument be counted in the category of incense? ”

Zhao Ji was finally a little moved.

What he used to think in his heart was that although these officials and eunuchs were at fault, they were also for the sake of the inner treasury's income, so there was no punishment.

Where would you think of this section.

"Therefore, those seafarers made a request, but it was not in the category of incense, and the city department was not allowed to buy it according to the incense system. Those who belong to the category of incense must enjoy the same treatment as the big food merchants, and the two parties negotiate the price, and if the price is too low, they have the right not to sell it to the city. ”

This request is not too much, Zhao Ji said: "I am approved." ”

"The second requirement is to move the people, and that's what they don't understand. Now our dynasty is extremely densely populated, and they are migrating from the destitute people, which will do no harm to our dynasty. But why did I impose all these restrictions? Finally, the other side settled down, and there was a little weather, and the imperial court was going to appoint officials to take over. Even the country, it should also have a little face. ”

This sentence was said too powerfully, and Zhao Ji's face was hot.

Then the minister said to them, Your Majesty has relaxed the restrictions on immigration. However, if the number of immigrants is too large, it will inevitably cause unrest in various localities, so it is necessary to limit the number of immigrants to no more than 30,000 households per year. ”

"That's a little bit." Cai Jing patted his ass.

Now he can see that Wang Ju is making trouble like this, and he can be safe and sound, why don't he get married soon?

"Cai Jianzheng, you don't understand. It seems that the number of households in our DPRK has increased by more than 200,000 every year in recent years, and if it is limited to 30,000 households, it will still not be able to solve the population crisis in our DPRK. However, have you ever wondered? Last year, according to the statistics of the prefectures and counties across the country, except for the two roads in Jiaozhi and Yunnan, the number of customers reached more than 4 million, and in fact, almost all of them were extremely poor people. This does not include a large number of homeless hermits, some extremely poor areas, people in order to avoid taxes and forced labor, when they reach old age, gray hair, still in a boy's bun, I am not an adult, I am not a Ding ......"

It's not funny.

Lu Gongzhu sighed slightly, this kid has a very bad temper, but he has to admit that this kid has really done a good job in caring for the people in the country.

"Therefore, the real destitute households in our dynasty may be close to six million, and if the imperial court does not impose restrictions, then perhaps these bold maritime merchants can encourage 100,000 families to migrate in a year. Of course, even if 100,000 households migrate every year, it will not hinder our dynasty in any way, and even reduce the pressure on our dynasty. However, their financial resources are limited, and every household migrates to the past, occupying space for sea ships, which is an invisible cost. After the migration has passed, they have to be resettled, at least build a thatched hut for them to shelter from the wind and rain, provide them with food, drink, tools, seeds, and if it is animal husbandry, give them cattle and sheep. There are also many indigenous people in the vicinity, so weapons and training are also distributed. If it is 30,000 households, with their income, they can be well settled. If it is 100,000 households, and it is 100,000 households per year, their financial resources will inevitably not be able to keep up, so they will not be able to properly resettle. Once this happens, it will be miserable for these migratory people to pass without relatives. ”

In fact, if a large number of people are displaced every year. I don't know how controversial it will be.

Therefore, Wang Ju made an estimate. Thirty or forty thousand households is about everyone's bottom line.

However, in his words. How nice it sounds.

"Wang Qing's words are extremely true, did they agree?"

"Most people agreed, it's really not good, and if you relax it for another 5,000 households, they won't object anymore."

"I'm right."

"Their last request was that the imperial court could appoint a small number of officials in advance, so that there would be a run-in period, so that only the six most populous settlements could be provided to the imperial court, and each state could only appoint three officials: the governor, the general judge, and the judge. This is the decision of His Majesty, and he agreed on the spot. ”

It turned out to be five settlements. Now it has become six settlements. What else?

Therefore, Zhao Ji nodded with the same satisfaction.

But who the 18 officials chose also made him feel a little headache.

Wang Ju also said: "They also proposed that if the imperial court agreed to these three conditions, they would donate 150,000 taels of gold to the imperial court every year, or silver equivalent to 150,000 taels of gold, or other commercial goods. ”

"Really?" Zhao Ji asked happily.

The other ministers were equally moved.

Don't look at the Song Dynasty's current financial revenue is frighteningly high, but this is not pure income, and there are more than 100 million expenditures. It's like the exempt money and the surplus money, which add up to more than 10 million yuan, a lot. However, it is gross income, and a large amount of money has to be taken out to pay the salary of the officials before the office. Therefore, the net income is just the rest of the money.

In fact, after the imperial court implemented Wang Ju's suggestion, the finances have begun to be reversed, and then Wang Anshi changed the law. However, if we start counting from the fourth year of Xining, when the financial situation has risen sharply, until the end of last year, the annual net income has barely reached more than 30 million yuan.

The value of 150,000 taels of gold is 3 billion yuan, and when it is converted, it is more than 3.6 million yuan!

It is almost equivalent to the income of BIBS, which is one-eighth of the average net income of these years.

Can not make Zhao Ji feel excited.

He couldn't help but take a few steps excitedly, and then asked, "Wang Qing, did you ask about the gold yield of that gold mine?" ”

"I think they can produce more than 20,000 taels of gold every month, but when the time comes, the reason why they have this promise is not only the gold mines on the other side, but also the large amount of gold and silver that can be exchanged through trade."

In fact, the output of that vein gold mine was really good, and the peak reached 30,000 taels. And after further exploration, it is estimated that the reserves are about three million taels. It may be a big error, but it also makes everyone happy.

However, Wang Ju was not too excited, if it was this reserve, it would not even be a hundred tons, and it could only be regarded as a small and medium-sized vein gold mine.

Think about the copper and gold reserves of Oyu Tolgoi in Menru later, the copper reserves reached nearly 40 million tons, and the gold reserves reached more than 20,000 tons, which was converted into two in the Song Dynasty, which was more than 500 million taels!

Don't ask which mineral is in the territory of Liao, if it can be found, with the pitiful economic volume of Liaoning, gold and copper are just a metal, so most of them must circulate to the Song Dynasty. Copper coins are enough, and the gold principal is enough.

But just think about it, with the current prospecting technology, it can be said that it is 5% technology and 95% luck.

Where to find it.

Even if you find it, you may not have the technology to mine it.

However, Zhao Ji is still very excited, this is equivalent to donating sixty percent of the gold, and the rest of the gold, there is no cost for mining, no cost for smelting, especially this gold mine is different from the river gold of the Song Dynasty, it is mixed with iron ore, and the smelting difficulty is higher.

You can't be too black-hearted.

"Your Majesty, although they have been adrift on the sea for a long time and have developed an unruly character, ask yourself, although they have all kinds of shortcomings, they are good people who are patriotic, and I hope Your Majesty will treat them well."

The fact is that if Sun Gu is still here, he has to admit Wang Ju's sentence.

More than 3 million yuan of wealth, say donate it, but not donate once, once this agreement is made, it will be donated every year.

Han Zhongyan, the judge of salt and iron, whispered: "Yes, even if you buy people, you will also buy 30,000 people." ”

The laws of the Song Dynasty forbade any buying and selling of human beings.

But human traffickers are everywhere, especially the phenomenon of trafficking women and children, and even high-ranking officials like Xiao Zhu, the governor of Guizhou, let his subordinates openly sell human beings for him for profit.

and all kinds of disguised human trafficking, such as the powerful want to exploit tenants, and take advantage of the difficulties of the poor people to issue usury to them. If you owe me money, the women of the family will be held in my house as slaves, and Ding Zhuang will become the long-term worker of my family.

Can this usury be repaid?

So the imperial court has no way to do this.

If calculated according to the value of buying and selling people, how much can the population of a family be worth, planning two children, two women, if it is an old woman, it is not worth at all, two Ding Zhuang, if it is an elderly Ding Zhuang, it is also worthless. Therefore, on average, the value of a household in the market will not exceed 60 yuan.

More than 3 million guan can buy 60,000 households of extremely poor people.

But can the accounts be counted like this?

And through Han Zhongyan's crooked building, the seafarers did not do a good deed, but bought these 30,000 households from the imperial court!

Of course, Han Zhongyan also doesn't have a good impression of Wang Ju, isn't it that our Han family has thousands of hectares of arable land, which is worth nagging about every day? (To be continued.) )
