Chapter 421: The New Century
In fact, Wang Ju didn't want to scold Fan Chunren, even if he did, it also carried a kind of hatred for iron and steel.
If the bar is raised in war and peace, Wang Ju can understand it, and there are not many people who can think of the reasons for the failure of the Qingli War at a deep level, and they don't even want to think about it. If you can't think of it or don't want to think about it, then all you see is the great harm that the Qingli War brought to the country and the people, so quietness, harmony, and peace occupied the mainstream in the Song Dynasty.
However, Dacheng is just a chess piece, Fan Chunren can't even think of it, isn't he an idiot?
But it doesn't matter whether Wang Ju scolds Fan Chunren or not, and whether he ridicules Cheng Hao or not, the main thing is that he has too many private goods and too many extraneous voices.
After he said something, some officials were more impressed, but some officials were more disgusted.
This doesn't matter, because the eunuch summoned them and let them enter the palace, the new century begins!
The prime minister is in front, and the officials in the back enter the temple according to their ranks.
Zhang Dian moved to the back and said, "Zi'an, that's a good point." ”
"Zi is thick, and he has no choice but to do it."
"There will definitely be a good era in the Great Song Dynasty."
Wang Ju smiled slightly.
A new century has begun, but it will not necessarily be a good era.
At this moment, Wang Ju's brain suddenly became extremely clear.
The so-called rights are divided into two parts, one is decision-making and governing power.
Just like the actual officials and high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty, no matter how big these two official positions are, it is the bad officials who really do things. Therefore, from the time of Zhao Kuangyi, the Song Dynasty began to overlap rights repeatedly, including the system of poor officials.
The system of poor officials turned the power of directors into a temporary system, and the power was reduced accordingly. The powers of various ministries and departments overlap, that is, the decision-making and governing powers are expanded, and each other is constrained. So there is a little bit of democracy.
However, in this way, the decree naturally could not be smoothed, so since the beginning of the regulations, the Song Dynasty gradually "simplified the administration", and the simplified administration was not to centralize power to the prime minister, but also to the emperor. This is for the emperor to take care of the government, and the emperor will not take care of the government, and someone has to make decisions on these matters, and then it can only fall to the prime minister, and Cai Jing and his ilk appeared.
The second is people.
For example, Jiangning Zhizhou is Wang Anshi's person, then he must support the change of the law, and from the bottom down, Jiangning will invisibly become Wang Anshi's territory. However, in the Song Dynasty, it was equally difficult to figure out the place where guò was controlled. The first is that the various transit envoys and prison envoys are only undertaking institutions, and they have no actual control over the state armies, and the second is that the number of state armies in the Song Dynasty is too large, more than 300, and there is no prime minister who can control more than 300 state army officials.
So in the early Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Pu in the era of Zhao Kuangyin, there was no super power minister.
But now in order to change the law, Wang Anshi has to "streamline the administration" and divide the rights clearly, and the power of various ministries and departments is concentrated, including himself, such as the Ordnance Supervisor, the original Xifu intervened, the three divisions intervened, the inner treasury intervened, and some large state governments also intervened, but in addition to the local area, the rest of the capital was concentrated together. The benefits of centralization, the clarity of rights, and the clarity of responsibilities lead to true accountability. But in this way, there are fewer constraints.
The Ordnance Supervision is not a big problem, it is only responsible for the production and storage of weapons, but what about the enlargement of the national militaristic politics?
Han Qi was disgusted again.
Therefore, Zhao Ji had a later mentality, and if he wanted to change the law, he had to give Wang Anshi more rights. Given more rights, Zhao Ji was even more uneasy, so he insisted on "mixing different opinions", and the opposition party remained in the DPRK and China.
Such a psychological ......
Wang Jiefu, are you really ready?
The officials entered the temple. This court meeting is not as later generations think, there are many firsts, even if there are nearly 100 people in the living dynasty, there are hundreds of people in this kind of dynasty, there are actually more Beijing officials, and there are many lower-level Beijing officials, who are not even qualified to participate in the Shuowang Dynasty.
Secondly, the more great the dynasty, the closer it is to formality. Generally speaking, the song is handed to the two mansions or the imperial history platform, and then through the three departments to make decisions, if it is a matter of importance, and then the three departments will be handed over to the emperor for personal approval. In addition, some close ministers have the right to secret, and they are directly handed over to the emperor, but there are not many.
In addition, there must be no violation of the court's etiquette, such as Fan Zhongyan asked Wang Zeng, why don't you care about Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng said the famous sentence "The husband is in power, the favor belongs to himself, and the grievance belongs to whom?" "Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, Lu Yijian, let's die together.
He didn't need to go to the book, he simply came to Zhao Zhen and said that Lu Yijian accepted bribes and formed a party for personal gain. Lu Yijian said that the evidence. Wang Zeng smiled slightly, why do you need evidence. Then he enlarged it to the court meeting, where the two of them, Cai Qi and Song Shou, quarreled. Cai Tingwang, Song Tinglu. Okay, against the court's etiquette, all the four prime ministers will go down!
Therefore, the real bosses, except for Yan Chen, rarely perform at the court meeting.
is afraid of being coerced by the "small ministers", exchanging small for big, and changing himself.
Therefore, often the big court meeting is mostly a formality, everyone goes through the motions, then disperses, and each goes back to his own ministry to do things.
But there will be some exceptions to this time.
The ministers rushed in, and several ministers, especially a few ministers, were ready to participate in Wang Ju's.
Before they could speak, Lu Huiqing walked out, held his tooth wat and said: "Your Majesty, Zhulu Changping, Guanghuicang, Qiangu is scattered, and it is not appropriate, so it is Levibo." Now I want to see in Dou Hu, in case of expensive amount to reduce the market price, in case of cheap amount to increase the market price, you can accommodate the transfer of the Miao tax, and the former Qian Hu will make the transfer, but also allowed to redeem huàn. Still to see the money according to the Shaanxi Qingmiao money example, willing to pre-borrow to give it, so that with the tax to pay Dou Hu, half for the summer material, half for the autumn material. There is a wish to ask for the true color, or to pay the time is expensive, and those who are willing to pay are all from their convenience. In case of disaster injury, Xu Zhanzhi is ripe for the next day. It is not only enough to deal with the famine, but if the people have received loans, they will annex the house, and they shall not take advantage of the new Chen to accept the invitation information. In addition, the things that are ordinary and widely benefited, the collection is stagnant, and the fierce things will be expensive, and then they will go out, and they will not reach the people who are wandering in the city. Today, there is no way to go all the way, and the expensive and lowly are accumulated, so that the peasants can go to the time and go to work, and the mergers must not take advantage of their urgency. All of this is thought to be for the people, and the public has nothing to gain, which is also the meaning of the first Wang Sanhui Xingli to cultivate subsidies. If you want to measure the amount of money and valley in all roads, the detachment officer is promoted, and each state elects a member of the general judgment and the shogunate officer, and the cashier is transferred from Hebei, Jingdong, and Huainan first. Its wide benefit warehousing, the amount is left to the old, sick and poor, and the rest is transferred by the normal level. ”
What does this mean?
It is that the original Zhulu often closed positions, Guanghui warehouses due to poor management and other reasons, the money valley was scattered, and they did not play their role well, let alone make much profit.
This interest is not about the amount of profit, but about what they originally did.
For example, Changhuicang is mainly relief, and Chang Ping is to regulate and control prices, and grain is cheap in good years, and expensive grain in disaster years, so as to stabilize grain prices.
However, due to poor management, the state spends a lot of money on these two types of warehouses every year, but in fact, it does not really provide relief to many widows and orphans and stabilize food prices.
This is the reason for using the standing position and the Guanghui position.
With this premise, there is a strategy behind it.
This seedling tax does not refer to the Qing Miao tax of the Tang Dynasty, that is more cheating, after Tang Suzong, the treasury is empty, and even the officials can not be issued, so the state forcibly levies a tax of 15 Wen per mu from the people, and there is land money, 25 Wen per mu, and later two coins are combined, and 30 Wen per mu is levied, also known as Qingmiao money.
It refers to the two taxes of the Song Dynasty.
That is to say, the transshipment divisions must give full play to the original mechanism of the two warehouses, and on this basis, extract a part of the grain from the Changping and Changhui warehouses, and then allocate some money and grain from the two taxes to issue green seedling loans. It is paid twice a year, and according to the time of day, when the summer or autumn tax arrives, it is paid together with the tax.
In addition, he also said two precautions, the first is that in the event of a disaster, that is, the family encounters a bad situation, it is allowed to delay until the next time the two taxes are ripe. In addition, following Li Shen's seedling money as an example, only those who are willing to borrow borrow this green seedling loan are not forced.
But the following sentence made many people have a toothache: not only is it enough to wait for the famine, but the people have received loans, then they will annex the house, and they must not take advantage of the new Chen to accept the invitation information.
In the year of the catastrophe, there was no way to implement the seedling loan, which was a special case. But in normal times, the imperial court is issuing green seedling loans, and you are not allowed to issue any form of usury, rich people!
In the past, the object of the regular closing adjustment was mainly the people in the market, but now it is officially sold, buying and selling cheaply to everyone, controlling the price of grain, and the imperial court used it to make up for the loss of storage and make a slight profit.
The second is to promote Changping Division.
In the past, there were various departments such as the Department of Transshipment, the Department of Criminal Prisons, and the Department of Pacification, but Chang Ping had a Department of Transshipment or an official who was elected to the state to be in charge of his affairs. Since Wang Anshi introduced the Qingmiao Law, he has set up a promotion officer and a Guan Gou official in each road, two members each in Hedong, Hunan, Zizhou, Lizhou, and Kuizhou, one member in Jiangxi, Hubei, Chengdu Prefecture, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, and one member in charge of Gou in Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Hubei, Chengdu, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.
Now the Seedlings Law has not been perfected, and the promotion department has also not been perfected, so I only said that each state elects a member of the general judge or a staff officer, and the pawn is transferred to the cashier.
Also, it is not the Shaanxi Road that the ministers heard about, but the third road of Jinghuai South in Hebei.
However, Wang Anshi was also afraid that the officials below would have red eyes, and deliberately said that Guanghuicang must leave a part of the grain for the elderly, sick and poor according to the amount, and the rest will be used for the Changping transfer method.
Zhao Ji said calmly: "Quasi." ”
Everyone was silent, don't look at Lu Huiqing's short concerto, the amount of information is too much.
Zhao Ji said again: "Scatter the dynasty." ”
Everyone retreated in amazement.
Wang Ju also withdrew.
Da Su caught up behind him, tugged at Wang Ju's sleeve and said, "Zi'an, didn't you say that it was Shaanxi Road?" ”
He asked Wang Ju, because Wang Ju had just come down from the Ordinance Division, and he might know the truth.
"Zizhan, I don't know much," Wang Judao actually said in his heart, isn't the truth very simple, there are many poor people on Shaanxi Road, can you collect money? Not only Shaanxi Road, but also Jingxi Road and Hedong Road, which are slightly depressed, Wang Anshi is not interested, where can they catch up with Jingdong Road and Huainan Road, the whole north is densely populated, and the most economically developed are these three roads.
It's for money.
However, Comrade Dasu, it is better to tell him less of the truth now.
I want to hear what I have to say, in a few years, after Huangzhou comes back, we will be able to know everything.
"How's that?"
"Brother Zizhan, could it be that the country couldn't allocate money and grain for disaster relief in Hebei the year before last, and the victims were left to fend for themselves, so it would be okay?"
Lu Huiqing also walked over and snorted coldly on the side.
Su Dongpo also snorted coldly and walked away, but there was disappointment in his eyes, disappointment in Wang Ju.
Lu Huiqing said: "Zi'an, do you have any advice?" ”
In fact, Lu Huiqing was also a little disappointed in Wang Ju, but what Wang Ju said just now in the hospital added points to Wang Ju in Lu Huiqing's heart.
And when he and Wang Anshi discussed Wang Ju, Wang Anshi's evaluation of Wang Ju was three words, wise and deceitful!
Others think that Wang Ju is sharp, but Wang Anshi is not, thinking that Wang Ju's wisdom is almost close to sophistry, which is similar to Sima Guang. It's just that one with an appreciative attitude, the other with a critical attitude.
Wang Ju didn't help Wang Anshi change the law, and Wang Anshi was not happy, but Wang Ju didn't object, and Wang Anshi couldn't say anything.
But if Wang Anshi can say this evaluation, it can be seen that Wang Ju's status and response in Wang Anshi's heart should be.
Wang Ju said in a low voice: "When you read the chapter, I was also listening carefully, the origin of the Qingmiao Method is Li Shen's Qingmiao money. After Wang Guangyuan went to Qizhou, he saw the difficulties of the victims and thought of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, so he adopted a compromise strategy and embezzled the money and grain of the Transshipment Department to lend, with an interest rate of up to five cents. But why don't the people complain? It was after the great calamity, and the people had nothing, although it was five cents of interest, but it was much better than the six cents of the annexed house, or even twenty and thirty cents of interest, and there was no ugly phenomenon of rolling interest. This is a special case. In normal times, even if it is a penny, I am afraid that the people are not willing to lend it. Jun said that it is not a strong match, is it possible? Also, if the people did not repay the loan, the king did not mention it. When the time comes, it is inevitable to arrest and slack. So I took a dodgy attitude......"
"Emergency measures."
"Hope is the emergency solution...... Wang Ju shook his head and said. If it's really an emergency solution, it's better again.
He paused and said, "Once it is implemented, disturbances are inevitable, if you listen to me, I will only say one word!" In ancient and modern times, the highest level of kings is never to be endowed. How is that possible? ”
Just like the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was so little population, so little officials, so little officers and soldiers, so little clan.
How many officers and soldiers are there now? If taxes are not raised, won't everyone starve to death together?
"Never add it, that's a dream, but after the implementation of the Seedlings Law, please remember four words, never add profit!"
The specific amount of loans Lu Huiqing did not say, but Wang Ju still remembered that the total amount of money and grain in the three roads was fifteen million guan (stone), because Wang Ju built the Zhengbai Canal, and the current amount may be larger, but it will not be much larger.
Use this as the principal, and change the original nature of the regular liquidation of relief into the nature of relief, that is, the seedling loan, there is still relief and relief, but it has become a supplement, and the loan is the main one.
The interest was not mentioned, but it was also said earlier that it was a two-cent interest.
Maybe many people can't see through it, some say that it collects money, some say that it is to benefit the people, if it is really a move to benefit the people, to issue this green seedling loan to the poor people, crack down on usury, it is really a good government. But it is impossible, how much food can be collected by distributing it to the poor people? Second, it is okay for the poor people to let it go occasionally, but if they don't pay it back, it will inevitably cause more disputes. Therefore, after the introduction of the Seedlings Law, it was issued in order according to the level of households, and the more loans for high-level borrowers, the better, while the amount of loans for real low-class households and tenants should not exceed the usual 500 yuan.
Why, the ability of the inferior to repay is limited!
However, a new question arises, do high-end households need this green seedling loan? Is it possible not to be a strong match?
Therefore, it is a change that focuses on accumulating wealth and benefiting the people.
It's about collecting money!
Therefore, Wang Ju said, don't ask for no strong match, but ask for no interest.
If according to the original plan, there is only two points of interest, as for some people who encounter difficulties, they can be delayed to repay when the next year is good, whether this is a two-cent interest or a four-cent interest according to the number of years, Lu Huiqing did not say in the chapter.
But no matter how it is levied, its annual interest is two!
Then let's levy it, but if it is implemented, the apportionment to Haoqiang has caused dissatisfaction, and it has cracked down on usury, and it is even more dissatisfied! However, when the levy was levied, three points of interest appeared, and even after some people were in arrears, the officials calculated according to three points for half a year, six points for one year, and twelve points for two years. For example, if a poor family borrows 10 stone of grain in the spring, and encounters difficulties that year and cannot repay it, but it can be in arrears, and the next year there is a slight harvest and 12 stone of grain is repaid, then there will be no complaints. It is to repay the fourteen stone of grain, and the people will also thank the court. However, after the change of the officials, it became a repayment of twenty-two stones of grain. How do the people pay back?
Then it is not only to accumulate money, but also to become a harsh government!
How not to fall under the mouth of the opposition!
Wang Ju said that he would never add profit, which is what he meant.
Lu Huiqing obviously underestimated the officials below, he nodded and said, "This is a move to benefit the people, how to add benefits." ”
A move to benefit the people? Wang Ju smiled helplessly, and said again: "Brother Jifu, why did no one in the Manchu Dynasty oppose it when you read this piece just now?" ”R1152
