Zhongshu Province was the center of power in the Song Dynasty, so it had a huge organization, including the Sheren Yuan, the Living Yuan, the Dispatch Yuan, the Examination Yuan, the Judge Yuan, the Trial and Punishment Yuan, the Ceremonial Yuan, the Guanzhu Yuan, the Tongjin Division, the Yintai Division, and other departments.

For example, the Criminal Court of An Tao's department, which rejected Wang Ju very much, belongs to the direct subordinate institutions of Zhongshu.

In addition to these subordinate institutions, there are many related departments themselves, which were earlier divided into officials, households, military rites, criminal punishments, workers, principals, class books, and eight rooms of the system treasury, and later simplified into five rooms of Confucius, officials, households, military rites, and punishments, which are collectively called the system of the imperial court, and later added the life room, the write-off room, the back two rooms can be ignored, mainly the front five rooms, so it is also called the five rooms of the middle book.

The five rooms also have subordinates such as official affairs, officials behind the hall, chief affairs, recorders, chief secretaries, and officials, which were originally mostly served by Cao officials, also known as the front officials of the hall and the officials behind the hall, and cooperated with the prime minister of the Chinese book.

When he arrived in Xining, at the suggestion of Wang Anshi, a prosecutor was set up in each room, and a regular official replaced Cao Yi.

For example, the person in front of him, his official position is to inspect the official affairs of the middle school, and the third secretary Li Chengzhi has served as the official affairs of the middle school and the prison room earlier, also known as the capital inspection.

The official position is about the same as that of the judges of the three divisions, and it is a five-rank official, the official rank is not too high, and the salary is not very thick, but because this department is responsible for the role of local documents and the prime minister of Zhongshu, it is very important, and because the civil official replaces the Cao official, each capital inspector also has the opportunity to participate in national decision-making with the prime minister.

Therefore, the official position is not high, but the real power is very large.

Han Jiang once sighed, although the inspection is not working. But it is no different from being in power.

Lu Huiqing is after serving as the official of the metropolitan prosecutor. Quickly promoted to prime minister.

Maybe this person is not very conspicuous at the moment. But Wang Juke knew that he was powerful, and not only that, he was also a famous calligrapher in the Song Dynasty.

There were three underrated calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, the most condescending was Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, followed by Qin Hui, and then there was this person, Cai Jing!

Later generations said that the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, Sumi Cai Huang, this Cai is Cai Xiang. This statement is wrong, Cai Jing's calligraphy is good, but it lacks novelty, and it is still the charming posture of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the real Cai is Cai Jing's calligraphy!

Cai Jing was puzzled and said carefully: "I've seen the prince." ”

He thought to himself, is it because of Mulanpi, so this powerful new vice minister pays attention to me?

The Song Dynasty repaired Mulan Pi three times, and the last time it was Cai Jing's strong support. repeatedly wrote to the imperial court, and the imperial court allocated a huge amount of money. before it was successfully built.

Of course, no one can deny the talent of this man.

Wang Ju suddenly laughed in his heart, Cai Jing met Zhao Ji and became a famous traitor, but when he met a master like Song Zhezong, could he become a traitor? At most, it's just a cloth.

I was too careful.

He raised his forehead, as if he had said hello.

After the transfer of various ministries and departments, Wang Ju began to work officially, but he was still very careful when he started to do things. Later, Wang Ju found out that it was just like that, so he said to Lao Wang, Cai Qu, and Zhang Qi, and leave the official affairs of the five roads of Liangguang, Fujian, Yunnan, and Jiaozhi to me to handle.

Who else is more familiar with this five-way road than Wang Ju?

That's it, it seems to have returned to the kind of Chenguang he used to do things silently but didn't speak in the armory.

Even Lu Gong was thinking in his heart, this kid is not the kind of person who has nothing to do......

But this is not possible.

On this day, Wang Ju suddenly said to Cai Qu and Zhang Qi: "There is a family in the countryside that holds water to grind one and grind wheat for the people, and can get 200 yuan a year. This person is still insufficient, so he directly buys wheat flour from the people, and processes the flour into flour cakes for sale, and as a result, in addition to a large amount of wages and sales costs, he only gets 50 yuan a year. So in the second year, he only milled flour for the people, and the neighbors ridiculed him. Right? ”

Cai said: "Zi'an, what do you want to say?" ”

If according to this little story, the water mill owner is doing the right thing, and if he is wrong, will he continue to be wrong. Therefore, it is not the owner of the house who is funny, but the neighbors.

But Wang Ju dared to say this, which must have a profound meaning.

"Gong Cai, Gong Zhang, do you think that after the imperial court placed the city and changed the division, it would turn over with the original Southern Ninth Road Shipping Division, which one of the imperial courts would benefit more, and which one would disturb the people more lightly?"

In addition to various expenses, including the salaries of the tooth officials, the net income of the city is more than one million yuan.

This is not a small income, I want to be a tea at the beginning, from Lu Yijian to Han Qi, tossed several times, and finally the court benefited from more than one million. It wasn't until Wang Anshi implemented a stricter monopoly on Shu tea that income surged.

But this is the comprador of the imperial court, look at the telecommunications, Unicom, PetroChina, and Sinopec in later generations, so tossed, only to benefit from a million yuan, is it worth it?

"In fact, it turns out that the income of the Southern Nine Road Shipping Division far exceeds that of the City Yi Division, but the former is invisible, but if you carefully check the accounts, you can still find out."

Now the third envoy Li Chengzhi is also a cadre, and the descendants of the Song Dynasty ministers Han Yi, Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan are the most promising. However, there is another person, Li Di, Li Di's sons and nephews Li Cambodia, Li Suzhi, Li Chengzhi, and Li Jizhi, all of whom can be called a famous minister.

Moreover, Li Chengzhi was also a minister on the side of the reform faction, first presiding over the Ordinance Department, and then serving as the chief prosecutor, and was temporarily sent to various places many times to inspect the situation of the law change, and also participated in the decision-making of various law changes. But because of the impeachment of Yang Pan and Wang Anshi's "cover-up", the two eventually had a dirty relationship. Therefore, like Zhang Zai, although he belongs to the Fa-changing faction, he does not belong to the Wang Anshi faction......

Therefore, Wang Ju's upcoming proposal does not have any problems on the side of the Third Division.

However, you have to convince the two people in front of you, otherwise it will make the law changers have an idea, why did this kid abolish the city change law, could it be that he changed his ideas and couldn't start the law change?

But among these two people, Cai is indeed not a big problem, mainly Zhang Qi, who is very close to Wang Anshi.

Anyway, it's a mess......

Sure enough, Zhang Qi was a little displeased after hearing this, and said: "The imperial court has finally settled down now, and if it comes to change the decree, it will definitely cause unnecessary commotion." ”

"Gong Zhang, do you think the imperial court has really settled down? If so, why did so many things happen when I returned to Beijing? Zhang Gong. You have been impeached by many as well. ”

Zhang Qi still doesn't approve. Thought. The reason why this is so is that you did kill many people in the south, and because of your military exploits into Dongfu, many people are dissatisfied.

"Gong Zhang," Wang Ju continued, no matter what he thought, "not stability, but lurking, but this force still exists...... People have no worries. There will be near-suffering. ”

Wang Qi said on the side: "Wang Zi'an, don't say more, I'll just say hello to the third division and let them calculate it." ”

In fact, Wang Junai is the most disgusted with this city.

Of course, its gross income is far more than one million, mainly due to the huge waste caused by the big compradors of the government, and some officials are greedy for ink, so the pockets of the court have become very small.

That's it. Why not ban it?

Moreover, it seriously interferes with the market economy, which is analyzed from an objective economic point of view. Not progress, but a serious setback.

However, Wang Ju dared to say this today, not only to ban the city's law, but also to save a person.

That is Xue Xiang.

Xue Xiang was demoted to Yingzhou, but he was not convinced. Didn't I think the country was good, what did I do wrong? Therefore, some grumbling words were said, but Yingzhou was very close to the capital, and these grumbling words spread to the Yushitai.

After Li Ding heard it, he thought about it for a while, and thought that it was just some whining words, what was the fuss, so he didn't make a sound. However, Yu Shiman Zhongxing was not convinced, and said in the book that Xue Xiangjin had repeatedly raped him, was frustrated, dismissed the Privy Council, and deposed Yingzhou. The command has been carried out, and he has not been afraid, he has been calm, and he has begged to beg for more and more debasement.

In addition, Li Ding has offended many people in the past two years, and some scholars have fallen into the ground, and Zhao Ji issued an edict to demote Xue Xiang to Suizhou again, which is also Zhizhou, and the nature is different, Yingzhou is in Gyeonggi, although it is not the first state all the way, but it is as important as Chenzhou and Bozhou, where is Suizhou, Jinghu North Road, Hubei!

He also ordered Li Ding to sit in love without correcting the bullets, and fell into an official position to know Heyang Mansion.

Li Ding's matter, Wang Ju didn't care too much. But Xue Xiang only knows Suizhou, and it would be a pity if he was a big talent.

But this man is not easy to save...... There is too much at stake.

Lao Wang spoke, but Zhang Qi did not make a sound.

But this account is more difficult to check, and on this day, Zhao Ji summoned Wang Ju to Yanhe Palace.

Zhao Ji first asked: "Wang Qing, when you get to the middle book, can you adapt to it?" ”

"When the minister first entered the middle school, everything is unfamiliar, so reluctantly."

"Recently, someone impeached your servant Han Yun, saying that he had been staying in the capital before, and he was sneaky."

The stabbing case and the mud have fallen off, but there are still many voices of discussion among the people.

Not everyone can be fooled, and most of the arguments are unfavorable to Wen Yanbo, but there are still some who insist that it is the bitter ploy of the king's ministers, in which Han Yun plays an important role.

Then after inquiring, Han Yun's previous various things also surfaced, so there were also some impeachments, just a guest, these impeachments are insignificant, but Zhao Ji asked by the way.

In fact, Zhao Ji summoned Wang Ju into the palace because Wang Ju was too quiet.

Wang Ju replied: "Your Majesty, there are some attendants and servants in the courtier's house. ”

This is too normal, and the imperial court deliberately gave high-ranking officials the cost of supporting guests.

When the minister went south, a few servants were mostly brought to the south, and later each had their own tasks, some went overseas to look for mineral deposits, and several merchants in Yanzhou also set up a fleet, and the minister also put some deed shares in it. Your Majesty, it is not to compete with the people in the country for profit, and not to hinder the court system. ”

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, but Wang Qing, how many ships do you have in your hands?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile and asked, he was really curious about this.

"Your Majesty, quite a few."

"How much, exactly?"

"A lot."

"How much?"

The king has a cold sweat on his huge head, is this what you care about as an emperor?

"More than 100 ships."

"Tsk."

"Your Majesty, but those revenues have been invested in the military expenses of the south."

"Private businessman...... Private traders. "Zhao Ji finally got happy, because he felt that he had caught Wang Ju's handle, and several of your fleets were also involved in smuggling.

"This, this, Your Majesty, there is no way, because of my coercion, over the years, those seafarers have donated almost most of their profits, and if they don't cooperate with them, they will inevitably be squeezed out." But this topic couldn't continue, Wang Ju turned back to the topic and said: "Before the minister returned to Beijing, he left a few servants on Yunnan Road to cooperate with Zhang Zhifu. ”

"Hmm."

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's opened, isn't it just a year of private, besides, how much money did those maritime merchants donate in the past, and how much tax did they take the initiative to pay?

And Wang Ju took a kick in the middle, and the big guys knew it in their hearts, but they didn't know how many ships Wang Ju had.

Now Wang Ju took the initiative to "confess and be lenient", which made Zhao Ji satisfied. But how many of these more than 100 ships are there? No, it seems that I have to let my aunt find out what this kid is all about.

Wang Ju naturally didn't know that Zhao Ji had hit Zhao Niannu with his idea, and continued: "As for Han Yun, it was used for another purpose, it was originally for the soju workshop, and later donated to the imperial court, but Han Yun is also responsible for another thing, that is, the acquisition of Helan Yan, this move may succeed, it may fail, if it succeeds, it will enable the imperial court to easily defeat Western Xia." ”

This can't be hidden, if the court investigates carefully, it will be found out as soon as it is checked, so the king generously made it public.

"Is it done?"

"I don't know, it may be successful, after all, the economy of Western Xia is too weak. As for those impeachments, I just want to say that the minister has not done anything wrong, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. By the way, speaking of Han Yun, Chen wants to say one thing. ”

"Say."

"The small one is the minister, the big one is His Majesty, if you want to do things, you must use people, use good people. Make the right decision, and then put the right person in the right position, and things can be done. Just like Zhang Qianfu and Zhang Zihou, the quality husband is long in the military, and the child is thick in politics. It is too reluctant to put Zhang Zihou in the northwest border, lead hundreds of thousands of troops, and destroy the strong enemies of Western Xia, but there is no problem in changing Zhang Qianfu. But it is a bit reluctant to put Zhang Qianfu in the middle book and deal with the country's thousands of affairs, but there is no problem in changing the chapter. ”

Zhao Ji did not say whether it was or not, these two people were too close to Wang Ju.

"Another example is Xue Xiang......"

"Xue Xiang?" Zhao Ji immediately became unhappy. (To be continued.) )
