"Qing is in Guangnan, can I have constraints?" Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed.

"Not only the kind of support ...... Quang Nam"

Don't think that talking three times is like rotten grass, this matter has to be reminded repeatedly. Otherwise, Zhao Ji was confused again, and it would be difficult for him to do it. You must know that there are only six years, and that year and day in these six years are very precious.

Wang Ju looked at this notebook again and said: "Fan Chunren is incorruptible, quite like his father's legacy, but everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the other side has long made this clear. Your Majesty also knows that the cities on the other side have implemented the six-cao system, and the people who punish Cao must be upright, the people who are polite and knowledgeable must be gentle and knowledgeable elders, the people of Bing Cao must be good at military affairs, the people of Gongcao understand mathematics and are proficient in farmland and water conservancy, the people of Hucao are good at overall planning and scheduling, and the people of Cao are good at government affairs and have the ability to know people. Although Fan Yaofu is the right minister of Shangshu Province, he is only suitable for presiding over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Crime, and even the affairs of the Ministry of Household are a little reluctant. It's not that Fan Youcheng is not a talent, at least he can bring me a clean and honest style to the officialdom and a clean and profitable atmosphere. However, if His Majesty wants to make a difference in government affairs, military affairs and economy, it is not Fan Youcheng's strength, but ministers, or ministers such as Zhang Zihou and Zhang Tianjue. ”

That is, Zhou Yu is asked if he is undecided on foreign affairs, and Zhang Zhao is asked if he is undecided on internal affairs.

Fan Chunren doesn't understand economics or military, can you believe what he says?

Zhao Ji's face was slightly red.

Doesn't that mean I don't understand anything?

So he also stared at the playbook, could it be that this playbook was really useless.

After looking at it for a while, he asked: "If you follow the plan of the king, what is the civil gold and silver?" ”

In this way, not only the gold and silver that are now prepared. Even the people have a lot of gold and silver. All entered the banking division as the principal. So what do the common people do with gold and silver? If nothing else, ordinary people talk about marriage, at least prepare some jewelry.

"Your Majesty, this is also the focus of the minister's discussion with Zhang Zihou yesterday, in fact, it is also easy to do. The first hurdle is at the beginning, once a large amount of gold and silver is incorporated into the banking department, it must lead to a shortage of gold and silver for civilian use. The silk cloth issued by the imperial court will immediately flow into the market, and the people will inevitably take the silk to cash. The repeated fulfillment that Van Yaof said may occur. But it doesn't hurt ......."

Wang Ju said what he said to Zhang Dian last night. And tell the story.

"Not only that, but in the next few decades, it is estimated that more than three million taels of silver will be obtained from the Wa Kingdom every year. In fact, whether it is gold or silver, it can be used as principal. As long as the imperial court issued an edict to the world and let the people know about it, it would not cause panic in gold and silver at the beginning. When the banking department is established, some adjustments can be made. For example, if you use silk to cash gold and silver, you must pay a 3% handling fee. ”

"That's a lot."

Think about it, if it's a deposit. The annual interest is only 3%, 3%. If only it was to cash out. When the handling fee reaches 3 percent, what will the people think?

"No, because the principal gold and silver used by the court are cast in strips, and they are engraved with the official seal of the bank, so when the people need it, they can be allowed to cash it, but when they don't need it, they can take these strips of gold and silver back to the bank to redeem the silk payment, and they can get 1.5 percent more silk payment."

That is, the handling fee is only 1.5 percent, which is about acceptable to the people.

However, in this way, it can snipe the people's cash, or induce the return of gold and silver to the banking department. It is the bold people who privately cast strips of gold and silver, and the problem is not big, this measure is mainly to prevent cashing, that side is cashing, and this side is returning to the private minting of gold and silver, and the court does not mention continuing to make profits, at least the cost can be leveled.

And it also has a role: "So that the banking department can control the direction of gold and silver through the reserves of gold and silver, plus pay attention to the market price of gold and silver, if the price of gold and silver rises wildly, a large amount of gold and silver can be allocated to sell to the market." If there is a shortage of gold and silver at home, the other side can also help. If the price of gold and silver falls, you can stock your gold and silver in case of emergency. This is used to regulate the price of gold and silver. ”

"In addition, there is the number of silk deliveries, and in these few years, the number of silk deliveries will definitely be insufficient, but they cannot be issued indiscriminately. After the past few years have stabilized, if the exchange ratio between the silk hand and the copper coin is between 10 to 9 or 10 to 11, do not intervene. If the ratio of silk to copper coins is 10 to 12, or higher, the number of silk bonds issued can be appropriately increased. If the exchange ratio with copper coins drops to 10 to 9, the silk will be withdrawn immediately to prevent the price of the silk from falling. ”

If this step can be reached, the so-called principal can be left untouched.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the specific arrangements will be made by the ministers, besides, the other side has been tested for several years, plus the ministers are in the capital, they can control it for three years, and there will inevitably be a perfect system after three years."

Even if you take all of this into account, what do you have to worry about?

"Qing brought back so much gold and silver, do those maritime merchants on the other side have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, what do you say? I persuaded for a long time. And I happened to find two large landmasses further east, and the population on the other side was scarce, so I used this to convince them. But in the final analysis, they are Song people, why don't they want the Song Dynasty to be strong and prosperous. However, many scholars and doctors were not ashamed to see that our dynasty paid a large amount of silver silk to the two Tibetan countries every year, but were proud. Internally, they were brutal and brutal, including these maritime merchants, who donated so much money and food to the country, but were still attacked by many scholars, so some maritime merchants gradually became unhappy. It is difficult to give grace, and it is easy to offend ......"

"I know."

It's good to know, Wang Ju wanted to get up and say goodbye, and Zhao Ji suddenly asked: "Wang Qing, what are you going to do with those big ships in the future?" ”

"After going back this time, I went to the dock and dismantled."

"Just disassembled?"

"I can sail for two or three years, but the keel is the center of gravity of a ship, and if the keel is broken because of the heavy rust and strong winds and waves, the ship will be in danger. In fact, this is also a test, to test the steam engine, to see what is wrong with this steam engine after a long operation, and the sea is too windy and waves, and the smaller the ship, the shallower the draft, and the easier it is to overturn. But it doesn't matter, although it fails, there are many lessons to be learned. ”

This loss is only visible to the naked eye, and the money burned cannot be seen secretly, not to mention a few sea ships of two or three thousand tons!

But if it succeeds. Or you can learn from valuable experience. Increase the tonnage of ships to more than two thousand tons. The implications of that would be unimaginable.

Zhao Ji didn't know about this, and he asked again: "Wang Qing, I heard that the other side implements a charitable tax deduction policy?" ”

"There is such a thing, but Your Majesty, it is impossible to implement it in my dynasty."

"Why?"

"Can I achieve real tax Qi, not Qi business tax, but Qi all taxes."

Zhao Ji's face was solemn.

Wang Ju looked at Fan Chunren's book again and said: "The minister said that Fan Yaofu has the style of his father, but he is far inferior to his father. Why. Fan Wenzheng is a real humble background, but not in Fan Yaofu's generation. Your Majesty, do you remember what the minister said to Your Majesty when you were a teenager? Hereditary! Why did Taizong expand the imperial examination? If you really read the scriptures, you can be a good official? If that is the case, since the founding of our dynasty, there have been nearly 100,000 courtiers of all sizes, and tens of thousands of courtiers have taken Jinshi and the first as courtiers. However, there are a few people who can match Zhao Pugong. How many scriptures and meanings did Zhao Gong read, half of the Analects! ”

"Why did Taizong do this, it's not really because of the rule of the world. It is necessary to wantonly allocate many Jinshi as ministers, if that is the case. Why did Taizong not allow the children of the powerful to participate in the imperial examination many times, and even if they did, they were also removed, just like Li Zongge, the son of Prime Minister Li Fang, Lu Mengheng, the younger brother of Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng, Wang Fu, the son of Wang Ming, a generation of Ming ministers, and Xu Zhongxuan, the son of Xu Zhongxuan. And successively implemented the system of copying the scrolls, so that more children from the poor family could enter the court. But in fact, these children of the poor family are scholars, and they may not be able to match the children of the powerful, such as the famous minister of Taizong, Lu Mengzhenggong, who is the son of the official eunuch, the famous minister of Zhenzong Wang Dan is from the Sanhuai Wang family, and the famous minister Lu Yijian in the early days of Renzong is the son of Lu Mengzheng. ”

"For no other reason, they have been by their father's side for a long time and are very familiar with officialdom, so once they enter the officialdom, they almost don't need to be sharpened to deal with government affairs. However, the reason why Taizong did this was that he was afraid that there would be a family of eunuchs in the Song Dynasty, and finally form interest groups, just like the Haoqiang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the gate valve in the last Tang Dynasty, and the country would be corrupted. ”

"But what about now? Why did the minister propose to reduce the number of officials, including the reduction of the number of places in the imperial examination, in fact, it is very simple, that is, the imperial examination, and most of the jinshi who have been promoted are the children of official eunuchs. Your Majesty, you will check the officials of the entire Great Song Dynasty, including the Jinshi officials who were selected for the imperial examination, how many of them are really from the cold family? ”

"This is not terrible, what is terrible is that they are related to each other, Your Majesty, you can send someone to check the children and daughters of Han Gong, Wen Gong and other top scholars, I am sure to scare you. Therefore, it is very difficult to change the law of Jiefu Gong, and it is even more difficult to get to the business tax of Chenqi. So last night, I discussed with Zhang Zihou for a long time, and finally came up with the idea of vacating the deed shares of the two bank divisions, in addition to the various functions mentioned by the minister, there is also the ability to win over a group of powerful people, otherwise it is the strong support of His Majesty, and it will be very difficult to really negotiate taxes. ”

If it weren't for these two fiascos, the so-called Qi Shang Tax would not have been able to pass at all.

Even if it's a nominal Qi business tax.

One imperial system, the other is the formation of a group of scholars and doctors, coupled with the idea of official standard, so Wang Ju has a golden finger, and he can't really completely reform the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Wang Ju had told Zhao Ji about similar issues before Xining's change.

But this time it is more thorough.

"Your Majesty, in order to deal with this ill, the other side has come up with a countermeasure, that is, all officials must be sharpened from the village head. As the children of official eunuchs, most of them will not start from the hard-working village chief, and they will only be able to be promoted after being recognized by all the people of the village for several consecutive years. In addition, the other side also focuses on education, and the children of ordinary families gradually begin to go to school. Then in the future, there will be many children of ordinary families one after another, and in ten years, there will be many ordinary children of poor families who will enter the cadre class. The entire other side will not have a serious monopoly because of the continuous introduction of new ones. The other side starts with nothing, so it's easy. It's hard for me, so it's still the same sentence, some problems are seen, but they can't be solved. Even if Your Majesty is a human king, you can't solve it. ”

Zhao Ji's face was bitter.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a priority, the top priority of the Song Dynasty is the Western Xia, and a better financial system. If these two things are resolved, the crisis of the Song Dynasty will be further alleviated. Then Your Majesty can also make some adjustments according to the situation. Even when His Majesty's reputation reaches its peak with a great victory, coupled with financial health and the support of the people, he can make some drastic new reforms to further remove this evil. ”

"I understand, so it's a compromise for you to give up half of that steam engine?"

"Your Majesty, this is really not easy to say, the bank division is really a compromise, but this compromise is limited and stable, even if the scale of the bank division expands in the future, but it also requires these people to re-inject gold and silver, which is equivalent to a surge in the income of the banking department, and their income ratio will not expand much. However, this kind of steam engine, at the beginning, there will not be a lot of income, and it will have to take out a lot of funds to continuously develop and improve, this article, and when the minister presides, it will also be deliberately explained. But there are no limits to its future. ”

"More than the bank's revenue?"

"It's possible, but it's going to take decades...... Your Majesty, you don't need to be hot. ”

Mother really thought wrong, Zhao Ji thought in his heart, that is, it was the bank department that compromised, not the steam engine deed stock.

…………

"Been there for so long?" Wang Jue asked in surprise.

"Prince, Fan Yaofu gave a recital, which caused His Majesty to have some ideas, so he summoned me to the palace to inquire."

"Fan Yaofu presented a recital?"

It's normal to be a Shangshu right Cheng Shangzhang, but it's not normal to stay in the palace with Wang Ju for so long.

"Prince, don't worry, although Fan Yaofu is an honest official, he is not good at military and economic strength, and he may only be bewitched by some people, and then use these plausible words to confuse Your Majesty."

In this way, Lao Wang is clear.

About yesterday, after the emperor came back, he issued an edict to demote An Tao to Qingzhou, and Fan Chunren went to visit, which was also a kind of farewell, and then he was bewitched by An Tao.

"This An Houqing, I really don't know the general situation."

"Prince, there are many people who don't know the general situation."

It's not that I don't know the general situation, but the main reason is that Wang Ju has always been very repulsive, plus Qi Shang tax.

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he walked around.

After the restructuring, the Chinese book completely changed, which made him very unfamiliar. For example, in the Privy Council, some people suggested that Xifu should be abolished and returned to the Ministry of War.

This is the correct statement, restructuring.

But Zhao Ji became suspicious again, and said: "The ancestors did not use the military authority to belong to the division, so the special officials used to unify them and maintain each other, so how could they be abolished." ”

Then keep it.

Therefore, there was no privy envoy, and only two people from the same knowledge or the same court presided over the Western Mansion. But who is qualified to be the same knowledge or the same knowledge of the academy that was set up, Zhao Ji did not find a suitable candidate. Therefore, it had to be vacant, which means that the Xifu and the original Shangshu have been reversed. Now Shangshu Province has the real power to execute, but the rights of Xifu are inexplicable.

Now it is not clear whether the military department will be in charge of the military or the Privy Council will continue to be in charge of the military once the summer war begins, and it will be chaotic.

However, Wang Ju didn't want to touch it for the time being.

Anyway, the Xifu group of dragons had no leader, and it became a place to drink tea and chat, and the military reports from all over the country were handed over to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War undoubtedly handed over the Zhongshu, which was conducive to their own arrangements.

Lao Wang sighed.

At this juncture, An Tao doesn't know each other, what can happen in the end?

However, it was at this juncture that Guan Jian failed twice, allowing Wang Ju to spend the first year safely.

If you don't implement the measures in the first year, you will have to wait for the second year.

So after turning around, he immediately returned, wrote a few orders in a row, and then sent someone to hand them over to the door. After the subordinates deliberated, they could let the officials of the two systems write edicts to execute.

Anyway, a nondescript restructuring seems to be like the system of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, and it doesn't seem to be like it.

But in general, it is still very beneficial to Wang Ju.

There are three middle books, one for the two kings, and Cai Zhang and the two under the door, as for the Shangshu, it doesn't matter if it's the executive agency.

These four people are not very evil to Wang Ju.

But he didn't expect Fan Chunren to come to the door, he came to Zhongshu Province from Shangshu Province, and asked: "Taibao, what price do you plan to use to match silk materials from all over the world?" ”

Wang Ju was not satisfied, you didn't count as a small report, and came to the door, so he asked rhetorically: "Fan Youcheng, I know Gyeongju, and you also know Gyeongju." In Gyeongju, you have won the hearts of the people, and I have won the hearts of the people. But in terms of heart, who can bring a truly prosperous life to the people of Gyeongju? If you don't understand finances, why bother to meddle? (To be continued.) )
