In Xie Chen's eyes, Wang Ju was the most powerful official in the Song Dynasty, capable of literature and martial arts, loving the people like a son, and everywhere he passed, he was loved by the people. Therefore, every time he leaves office, he immediately rides a horse and leaves without saying hello, otherwise he will be blocked by the people and will not be allowed to leave. Wang Ju's coming to Guangnan is a blessing for the people of Guangnan, but these people are so ignorant.

Wang Ju smiled dumbly and asked, "Zi Zhan, what can you think of when you think deeply?" ”

"I think deeply...... Soon the people will reverse their response to Zi'an, no, that is to think in the long run, not to think deeply, by the way, the people have limited knowledge. ”

"Of course, the people have limited knowledge, and there is another thing you didn't expect, that is, the people's requirements are really not high."

"Yes, as long as the officials put a little thought into the people, the people will love them, but unfortunately many officials can't even do this."

This is the product of the centralization system combined with the idea of the official standard.

Therefore, the official is not a parent official, but a master official, even if it is a good official, it is also a master of the blue sky. In fact, in terms of internal governance, the officials of the Song Dynasty did not do badly, and even no less than the officials a thousand years later.

Relatively speaking, the Song Dynasty was worse than the officials.

But in the Song Dynasty, how many officials could really love the people like children.

What if this official-oriented thinking is abolished?

Wang Ju's idea of this idea is not unusual, there is no way to ban it in the Song Dynasty, it has been deeply rooted, even if Wang Ju is the emperor, he does not dare to cancel this thought.

However, there are still patches of paradise overseas, and there are still relatively few people, so the various stewards are engaged in rough management. Eventually, however, more and more people will flock in. Although it will not be like last year, as well as this year may be the number. But it will be settled later. Every year, many people continue to flock overseas. Although the homeland is good, but it has to live, and in order to live, some destitute people have to leave their homes one after another.

When it reaches a certain point, this kind of rough management can no longer be carried out, and as for the officials sent by the Song Dynasty to manage in the past, Wang Ju has not yet figured out how to deal with it.

But the Song Dynasty sent a few officials to cross the ocean by boat, can they really control such a vast place?

If that. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was able to kill himself with tofu, so he could control it, why couldn't we even manage the Persian Governor's Mansion, and we lost it to the big cannibals in just a year.

Therefore, it is necessary to formulate the relevant legal system, and the current system Wang Ju is not used to it, so he can promote the people's cooking system? That's not democracy, it's boiling oneself and cooking the people, just like Su Mian, harming others and himself.

And the authoritarian system was lost, and after a few decades, the people overseas were like the Murong tribe in Huanzhou. The whole overseas is in chaos.

In fact, there are many things, even if Wang Ju has big fingers. It still can't be done, but the problem is that it can't be done, and it can't be avoided.

That's really a problem.

Wang Ju suddenly thought of Wang Anshi who was asking for a place in Jiangning, Wang Anshi didn't have big fingers, although there were all kinds of disadvantages in the change, it was not easy for Wang Anshi to think about it seriously.

The overseas area is not in a hurry for the time being, Wang Ju said: "If you love the people like a son, but what kind of people are the people, the scholars and magnates, the local rich and powerful, or the middle peasants, or the destitute people?" Even if they are all regarded as people, what kind of ability must they have to level this bowl of water? ”

"It's really hard...... Zi'an, this is one thing, and in a few decades, this will happen over there. Xie Chen also thought of going overseas.

Now most of the migrants are destitute people, and the food, drink, and housing are all subsidized to them in advance, and everyone is on the same starting line, but after a few decades, it will also be like the Song Dynasty, and the situation of each household is uneven.

As long as there is a strict suspension of zhòng, there will be all kinds of sharp contradictions.

If nothing else, let's just talk about this people, how to be even?

Just as Wang Juming knew that the merger in the Song Dynasty was becoming more and more strict, but he did not obviously crack down on the merger, on the contrary, he kept making concessions with the powerful and powerful, especially when he left, he asked Ge Shaohua to make further concessions.

It's just a state, isn't it even harder to put it in a big country?

The two were silent for a while, but they heard the sound of discussion outside the window.

Wang Ju entered the inn, and of course, more people also learned the news, and some people were discussing.

Not all of them said bad things about Wang Ju, and there were some well-informed people who heard a lot of rumors about Wang Ju and thought that Wang Ju was a good official, but Su Mian misunderstood.

Two of them were arguing, speaking the local language, and Wang Ju couldn't understand it......

Xie Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and he scolded in a low voice: "These Diao people. ”

About one of them said something nasty.

"Zi Zhan, don't be angry, in fact, this is a good thing, the people have low expectations for me, then I can make political achievements, if the expectations are high, just like when I first came to Quanzhou, it is not good to do things, do it, hate. It wasn't until the second year that it gradually improved. Wang Ju persuaded and said, scold, scold, those who are officials are praised and scolded. Even if it is a bad official, there will be people who love it. Even if the best official is, someone will scold him.

However, the Song Dynasty is good here, and it did not block the mouths of the people, which is also a kind of supervision in disguise.

"I'd love to ask his name, and in another year, see what he thinks of Ming Gong."

Although Su Mu sacrificed in Yongzhou, he left a strong footprint, and Wang Ju will inevitably leave a stronger footprint, and it is not Yongzhou, but the entire Guangnan.

It has nothing to do with the military, since it has been omitted, then there is people's livelihood and economic ......

The east wind was blowing, and a huge fleet was sailing on the sea in the distance, and the officials of the city department were busy with the officials, such a large fleet would mean that it would bring countless taxes, as well as a large amount of spices and pearls.

Gao Wenxiu put his hand above his eyes, squinted his eyes and asked his subordinates: "Our eyes are not very good, but it is the Quanzhou fleet that has come." ”

There is a historical background to this statement.

During the Song Dynasty, the city was divided into four parts, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou Bay and Mizhou.

Mizhou was established after Wang Ju's recommendation, but in fact, there was no Wang Ju, and there would be a city division in Mizhou, but that would be a little later.

Hangzhou Bay is not a place in Hangzhou. Instead, it is divided into three parts: Xiuzhou, Mingzhou and Hangzhou. Several places. Sometimes there are five or six, sometimes one or two, then only three or four. The biggest change is Xiuzhou.

Although there are a large number of shipping companies in Hangzhou Bay City, the largest ones are still Guangzhou and Quanzhou.

This is also a product of the times.

The Tang Dynasty originally had a foreign port in Guangzhou, because the Tang Dynasty forbade the people to go abroad, so most of the maritime merchants were foreigners, and some foreigners began to settle in Guangzhou. Later, the Tang Dynasty split. Although the generations of the Southern Han Dynasty are mediocre, they still attach great importance to the city, after all, it can bring a lot of income.

Therefore, foreign seafarers mostly sailed their ships into Guangzhou Port for trading.

Quanzhou port came later, also because of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not allow the people to go abroad, but not allowed the people to build ships, and later Quanzhou sea ship technology gradually surpassed the big food ship and the South China Sea ship, so there was a huge shipbuilding base. However, because Fujian Road is too densely populated, it is a terrain with few mountains and many mountains. In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, there have been people who have gone abroad to the sea to make a living.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms began, and no one cared about it. The Song Dynasty also did not prohibit it, so more people went to sea to make a living, including those who went overseas to do business, and their ships sailed back to Quanzhou Port to trade, so that Quanzhou Port gradually caught up.

But there are no changes brought by Wang Ju, and now the scale of the two ports is like, until Wang Ju shifted his focus to overseas and served as the governor of Quanzhou for four and a half years, Quanzhou Port officially replaced the position of the number one city in Guangzhou Port.

However, some of Wang Ju's fleets were evacuated to Hangzhou, Mizhou and Guangzhou.

Other fleets have some smuggling activities, including the big food ships and a very small number of ships of local seafarers in Guangzhou, and even a small number of Quanzhou ships that also flock to Guangzhou to trade, especially in the terrain of Guangzhou, now there are more islands under the port of Guangzhou, Panyu, Zhongshan, Shunde, Jiangmen, Doumen, Zhuhai, Macao, these areas are mostly not connected with the land, but islands of all sizes, and even outside the estuary of Guangzhou, there are thousands of islands of all sizes. Including the opposite side of the port of Guangzhou, there are many islands. This complex terrain also meant that it was easier to smuggle, but there was absolutely no smuggling in the fleets under the names of Wang Ju and the ten merchants in Yanzhou.

Moreover, they came with more than ten large sea vessels, and the officials of the Guangzhou Shipping Division did not know the details, so they called the Quanzhou fleet.

A servant looked into the distance.

The fleet came with the help of high tide, but at the tail of the tide, otherwise the tide would be too fast at the head of the tide, and a dangerous impact would occur when mooring. Some sailors lowered their sails, but some masts were fluttering with flags of various colors, many of which were bright red.

The official said: "It's the Quanzhou fleet. ”

Because these fleets like to embroider a big "Song" character on the red flag cloth, there is no such thing as a national flag, but it has become their symbol.

The official said, "There are many ships. ”

"Are there many boats? Is it full? ”

"Most of them are full, dozens of ships, large and small."

"Quick, send someone to prepare a feast." Gao Wenxiu said in surprise.

The fleet slowly entered the harbor.

Each ship was moored in turn, with a total of more than 80 ships, large and small, including a supership that looked like a giant.

There are many ships entering and leaving the port of Guangzhou in a year, but in terms of a single fleet, there has never been such a large and magnificent fleet, so that many people have poured on the shore to watch.

Probably afraid of accidents, there were many sailors on some of the ships behind them with knives and patrolling the side of the ship non-stop.

More than a dozen managers disembarked one after another.

Some people knew each other and immediately came over to salute Gao Wenxiu.

"Steward Meng, it seems that a few Dong Weng have made a fortune and managed many new ships." Gao Wenxiu said.

"Where, there are some other Dong Weng involved," Meng Jin, the leader, said, and then said, "Gao Bo envoy, but there is something special about this trip." ”

"What's so special about it?"

"There were seven ships of pig iron in this cargo."

"Well, I'm facing the south and the north, and the south is lacking iron."

"No, this was deliberately brought back from overseas at the request of Wang Xuanfu, and they will not be unloaded ashore, but some river boats will be invited to be loaded into Guizhou immediately."

That is, these irons, the city division must not be extracted.

"This ......" Gao Wenxiu looked reluctant, seven ships of iron, just by being transferred, he had to earn tens of thousands of yuan, and with income, he could be promoted. However, thinking that he would receive the edict from the imperial court soon, at least Wang Ju was not something he could exonerate, so he said bitterly: "Okay then." When the time comes, we can send someone to supervise it. ”

"It's better not to send someone to supervise. If you want to evade taxes. There are a hundred ways to avoid extraction......"

"Steward Meng, don't be careful, our family just sent someone to take a look on the side and make a look."

"No, because these ships deliberately invited some overseas laborers."

"Overseas laborers?"

"The imperial army retreated, but there was still a large army in Cochin. Therefore, the prince planned to build two lines of defense in the south of Yongzhou. ”

"It's a must, those people are terrible," Gao Wenxiu said, stroking his chest.

"But it's getting hot. It is also the season of labor. Therefore, the prince asked us to hire some people from overseas to come and help, they were not afraid of the heat, and the salary was relatively low. ”

"They also have to work......" Gao Wenxiu suddenly covered his mouth, this really can't be managed, there are a lot of cats.

"Gao Bo envoy, you can rest assured, the extraction of the remaining goods is enough for you not to worry about this year," Meng Jin handed over a long list of various goods. Includes some cured meats, precious wood planks. Some pigment dyes produced overseas, more than a dozen ships of charcoal. Guangnan does not need coal-based heating, but the people in the city also need to cook, so there is also a market for coal, and the price is not cheap, one stone is more than 300 yuan.

Gao Wenxiu looked at this list, smiled happily, and suddenly asked, "What about that?" ”

This is a commercial commodity extracted, as well as spices and pearls.

"It's what I'm going to say next, this time we bring a lot, it's difficult to eat in Guangzhou, and we don't need silk porcelain tea, but for some daily necessities, so after we sell the price, we have to bother Gaobo to use fast delivery to notify the capital, and the inner library will order to prepare the relevant goods on Jinghu South Road or Jiangnan West Road, and then transport them to Guangnan. You take a look first," Meng Ban took out another list, that is, the list of various spices, coral, some jade that could be recognized by the Song people, tortoiseshell and a small amount of sea pearls, as well as the number and rank.

According to the rules, they were handed over to the inner treasury for monopoly, that is, the Song Dynasty's incense system, but they were also the highest-income and fastest-growing commercial goods of Wang Ju at the moment.

Tao Bi was worried about the salary of 100,000 soldiers, in fact, it was not only the salary, so he planned to cooperate with the court and provide the armor, in fact, this is unlikely, how could the court provide the armor of 100,000 soldiers, and it could provide one-third, Wang Ju was happy. The rest of the armor had to be made by themselves, and the soldiers had to eat, drink, and live.

100,000 soldiers cost a lot of money a year.

However, Wang Ju has been thinking about this problem for a long time, and finally came up with several solutions, including what Meng Jin said.

That is, to use overseas commercial goods as the original preparation funds, and send people in advance to check the commercial goods needed by the barbarians of various tribes, as well as their production.

Then exchange these overseas commercial goods for spices and pearls and jade to return the commercial goods needed by the barbarians, and then use these commercial goods to trade their products with the barbarians of various tribes, as well as the handicrafts of various ethnic groups rich in folk customs, if these products and handicrafts are shipped to the Central Plains, there is still a vast market.

Then not only does it improve the lives of barbarians of all ethnic groups and strengthen communication and integration, but Wang Ju himself can also obtain huge profits.

"The City Method?" Yanda asked curiously.

"General Yan, do you think it's the City Law?"

Wang Anshi's city is easy to law, and he is actually really fucked up.

For example, a piece of bamboo paper costs ten yuan, but after tossing and turning, one piece can be sold for 30 yuan when it arrives in the capital. However, the market law is coming, the cost is ten yuan, if there is no backstage, you will be given ten yuan, or even nine yuan, and if there is a backstage, you will be given 12 yuan, plus three yuan for the road fee, with an annual interest rate of 20 percent, small merchants and vendors, you can sell it at 18 yuan each.

"No, Prince, I mean the Prince's Law of Trade, which is not an apportionment, but a voluntary transaction."

"Kind of the same."

"Just a little?"

"The similarity is what you call voluntary, so it has great limitations, and it is impossible to use this method in transactions between countries, and there are many disputes. However, it is unlikely that this method can be used in China, after all, compared with the government's lack of responsibility and clumsiness, businessmen are more flexible and flexible, how can they compete with businessmen. Why Wang Shao can succeed, that is this limitation, the west of Qinzhou is full of Tibetans, and the Han people do not dare to trade in the past, for fear of being looted and killed. The Tibetan people also did not dare to come to the Han area to trade, for fear of being deceived. It is Wang Shao who gets the credit. So Jiefu Gong didn't see this, so he implemented his kind of market law...... However, the west road of Guangnan is similar to Qinzhou, from Yongzhou City to Guizhou to the west, most of them are barbarian areas, and there are many barbarian tribes. It is difficult to communicate with each other, and except for the main roads, the remaining regional trade scale is very small. This became the second Qinzhou, but compared to Qinzhou, it was more fragmented, so it had to be serviced. ”

"Door-to-door service, good word." Yan Dale said.

"This is one of the differences, and the second difference is that I will use my knowledge, and the abilities of some of my men, to identify their crafts for these barbarians, and if the future is bright, I can teach them, and expand in size, so that they will become richer. They're getting richer, they're going to be able to scale up, and I'm able to raise more money. ”

That is, although Wang Ju's approach is very similar to Wang Shao's, he is more deeply involved.

In addition, Wang Shao is purely profit-making, earning military spending, Wang Ju is also earning military spending, but not purely earning military spending, while earning military spending, he also considers benefiting the people and integrating all ethnic groups. If it is not integrated, now Guangnan West Road is like an independent kingdom, and there is no way to govern it, and there is no way to govern it, and there is no way to get better.

"Wonderful, but even so, I'm afraid the military budget is still not enough." Yanda said worriedly.

He didn't know that those ships were almost Wang Ju's, and they had ten merchant deed shares in Yanzhou, but they wouldn't have any objections to Wang Ju. Therefore, in Yanda's thoughts, even if these merchants are grateful and fund Wang Ju's achievements, this is 100,000 soldiers, and the military expenditure is still insufficient.

"Yes, so I want to ask General Yan for help."

"Prince, you let me fight, I have the ability to raise this money." Yan Da hurriedly said, besides, it is not a lack of money, and if he kills him, he will not be able to raise so much military funds.

PS: It's a little cold, and it's only been one shift in the past two days. (To be continued......)
