"You've done a great job." Wang Ju arched his hand at the seafarers and said.

In winter, the port of Quanzhou becomes deserted. Quanzhou is mainly a ship that goes to the South China Sea, so in this season, most of them leave the port and go south with the help of the monsoon, or those ships that need maintenance are in the dock for maintenance.

Only a small number of ships were on the side of Goryeo.

However, the economy of the Song Dynasty has always been relatively rich, so the demand for timber is so great that the founding prime minister Zhao Pudu sent people to run the timber business. So after Wang Ju's promotion, many ships were changed to Mizhou Port. After all, it is a raft on the sea, which is very risky, and the longer the distance crossed, the more accidents there will be. The funniest thing is that a maritime merchant sent a few boats to pull the wooden rafts, and suddenly the wind direction of the sea changed to a typhoon in the southeast direction. As a result, it didn't take a day to forcibly scrape the Yingzhou of Liao. If it is better to scrape to the south, it is a big deal that the boat cannot be controlled, and it drifts to Haizhou or Chuzhou, and eventually there will be a way to unload these wooden rafts. However, drifting to the side of Liao, this maritime merchant was sad.

In the end, he paid numerous fines, and the rafts were left behind, before his boat was put back.

Of course, it was a sudden accident, and in general, the probability of arriving in Hong Kong safely is more than 90%. As long as you arrive in Hong Kong safely, you will make a huge profit.

There are a lot of smart people in this era, with the prosperity of Mizhou Port, and some people invented a kind of flat-bottomed sea boat, which is not very large, and the draft is shallow, generally between 1,000 and 2,000 materials, and then the timber is loaded and unloaded from Mizhou Port to this kind of flat-bottomed boat, after spring, and then follow the monsoon, with the tide from Jishui to the sea, and then from the Wuzhang River directly to the capital. This made the Wuzhang River suddenly prosperous.

But in winter, Quanzhou becomes relatively deserted. Except for a small number of precious plates. The rest of Goryeo, Goryeo secret color, Goryeo silk, and the sword fan of the Japanese kingdom. How much space does that occupy?

In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is Goryeo's silk, celadon, or the sword fan of the Wa Kingdom, the Song Dynasty also had them, and there are many better than them, but because they are foreign goods, they have a certain market under curiosity.

But Wang Ju did not slow off.

Since he came to Quanzhou. He also brought over some of Gyeongju's policies.

For example, simplifying the tax on other businesses.

Wang Ju made a new regulation, starting from more than 20,000 guan, the tax rate of more than 20,000 guan is 9 percent, more than 40,000 guan, the tax rate is 8 percent, more than 60,000 guan, the tax rate is 7 percent, and more than 80,000 guan, it is 6 percent. Those who have more than 100,000 are all 5 percent. Don't be wary of merging goods with each other, anyway, as long as you can make up 100,000 pieces of goods. No matter how many there are, it's all five percent.

Use this to induce people to take the initiative to pay taxes, not smuggle.

Although there is no tax for smuggling, there are too many shady scenes, and like the illegal salt in Gyeongju, it is necessary to bribe officials and officials, and it is very dangerous to unload goods at sea. Some underworld organizations have also emerged. The government has repeatedly banned it.

Now that the tax rate has been cut in half in disguise, and the actual extraction has reached twenty to one, there is not much point in smuggling.

As a result, the tax rate has fallen, and the tax rate of the city has not decreased, but has gradually increased.

The commercial tax is still the commercial tax rate of Gyeongju, the more commercial goods, the lighter the tax rate, within the state, there is only one tax, outside the state, only two taxes. But no matter who you are, you have to pay taxes.

The last one will make some of the big guys very unhappy.

But with the passage of time, under the promotion of Wang Ju, various industries have flourished, and the benefits have been more than before.

Wang Ju also taught the people to breed pearls, kelp, shrimp, pearls have not seen the benefits, but kelp and shrimp have seen the benefits, Quanzhou was originally a land with few fields and many people, every industry comes out, it means to feed more people.

Therefore, these heroes gradually fell silent, no matter what, Wang Ju is indeed a good official.

In fact, it is a problem of inertia, just like Chu Jianzhong replaced Wang Ju to Gyeongju, in fact, he did a good job, and he also attached importance to border defense, Xia people thought that Wang Ju was gone, maybe he could pick up a bargain, but when he saw Chu Jianzhong's various arrangements, he didn't dare to make up his mind about that section of Hengshan.

However, he didn't want to disturb the people, and as a result, Gyeongju soon relapsed. Some profiteous businessmen are happy and ashamed in their hearts. In doing so, they benefited, but they were ashamed of Wang Ju's original teachings. As for the others, that's not full. In addition, when the disaster came, the people opposed it together. The imperial court had no choice but to let Fan Chunren replace him. Fan Chunren is good, if it wasn't Chu Jianzhong in the middle who took over, maybe Fan Chunren would be the icing on the cake and would make Gyeongju better. However, now that Chu Jianzhong has restored the original of Gyeongju, Fan Chunren also doesn't want to learn from Wang Ju, so there is no way to set things right. As a result, the people are still disappointed, but now the ancient is not in Huanzhou, if it is, I am afraid that there will be no situation where the people jump into the river.

That's where inertia comes in.

But Wang Ju did not launch the development fund, and the talents in his hands were not enough, although he was cultivating more talents, but the overseas stall was expanding faster. Secondly, Wang Ju did not want the imperial court to learn and promote it to the whole country.

Otherwise, the speed of development in Quanzhou will be faster.

The other is something that other officials can't imitate, others have that big finger, so learning from Fan Chunren may become an excellent magistrate, if you learn from Wang Ju, if you don't get it right, you can't draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog!

In addition, it is the importance of maritime business.

Under his organization, gradually the seafarers became a group.

Including the seafarers on the side of the Great Food, Wang Ju also asked them to join forces, after all, there are many pirates in the South China Sea, and these pirates are a greater threat to maritime merchants than the pirates of later generations.

Then each fleet came over, and as long as Wang Ju was in the state office, he immediately invited all the shipowners to come and wash the dust.

Whether it is Chinese or foreign, this trade has too much of a pull on the local economy.

So an elder stood up and toasted while saying: "When Ming Gong first came to Quanzhou, everyone heard that the people of Gyeongju wrote millions of people's books, and everyone looked forward to it. Only then did I know that Ming Gong's intentions were long-term. The old man suddenly woke up. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the son ruled Zheng and ruled for a year, and the people hated him, but the prodigal son did not dare to play frivolously, the old man did not have to bear the weight, and the child did not have to go to the field to cultivate. In the second year, the people complained, but the market was fair and did not dare to hoard anymore. Three years have passed. The people are finally happy, they don't close their doors at night, and they don't leave their roads behind. When the child died, the people of the whole country wept bitterly, saying, who will the people rely on in the future? Ming Gong is the son of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

The deeds of Zichan are a bit far away, but in fact, Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng later also have this characteristic and strictly enforce the law. But although it is strict, it is just. upright, so the people do not complain, and the country can be governed.

It can be said that Wang Ju is in the same vein as them, although Wang Ju is actually a little worse than the golden finger.

But modesty is always needed, Wang Juhan said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, it's too much of a compliment." Don't talk about governing the country, even if you govern Quanzhou, after three years, I don't dare to say that all the people will not close their doors at night and the road will not be left behind. ”

Wang Ju is still compromise-oriented, if he is allowed to stay in Gyeongju, then it can be done, in fact, when Wang Julin left Gyeongju, this gratifying phenomenon has almost appeared.

However, the situation is different, in Gyeongju Wang Ju's prestige is too high, and the decree is easy to enforce. But can it be done in Quanzhou?

Of course, when everyone goes to carry the sedan chair, they can't take it seriously.

But the old man surnamed Wen's voice suddenly changed, and asked, "I heard that Ming Gong is leaving Quanzhou?" ”

"Who said that?" Wang Ju asked vigilantly.

Zeng Gong once wrote back and asked his family to inquire about Ming Gong's behavior...... About Zeng Gong wanted to recommend Ming Gong. After we heard about it, although we were happy for Ming Gong, we were really reluctant in our hearts. What the old man surnamed Wen said was also practical.

Although Wang Ju's various practices, even the local Haoqiang in Quanzhou can't see it very clearly, but they are all clear, once a new Zhizhou comes, maybe Quanzhou will not have this new atmosphere.

Wang Ju was at a loss: "Zeng Gong? ”

Zeng Gong is Zeng Gongliang, and he is the Quanzhou people.

However, Zeng Gongliang and Wang Ju don't have a deep relationship, why should you recommend yourself?

This is exactly what Zhao Ji's inquiry caused him.

Wang Ju and Zeng Gongliang don't have a deep relationship, but they don't have any grudges. Moreover, in terms of political concepts, Zeng Gongliang is similar to Wang Ju, not rejecting the change, but rejecting Wang Anshi's change.

At that time, Zeng Gongliang thought of Wang Ju.

To prevent the Khitan invasion, you must have a minister who understands military affairs.

To purchase a border army and train forbidden soldiers, you must have a minister who understands military affairs. This is really understood, there are not many ministers who really understand, it is impossible to decentralize Lao Cai again, Wang Shao still has to supervise Hehuang in Xifu. So who else is there besides Wang Ju?

In fact, he really forgot about the other person.

And Wang Ju also has a brush in the economy and the rule of officials. If Wang Ju is allowed to sit in the Calm Mansion, everything will be solved.

However, what worries Zeng Gongliang is that Wang Ju has a very tough personality, this is Hebei, not Shaanxi and Fujian, how many powerful people are there? Just like Cheng Fang, on the surface, Wen Yanbo shot and forced him to death. In fact, it was not only Wen Yanbo, who presided over water conservancy, how to compensate for the flooded cultivated land, and tried every means to encroach on the newly acquired cultivated land, and agreed, and this water conservancy became the plaything of the powerful, and if he did not agree, he offended a large group of powerful people. Cheng Fang was also humble, but he was not humble enough, so he offended a large group of people. first forced back to Luoyang, and after Wang Ju's recommendation, he went to Hebei again. However, this time he was forced to death......

Cheng Fang is like this, Wang Ju is still like this, don't think that the calm mansion is also a lot of powerful and powerful, the most famous is Mrs. Cao's Cao family.

If you don't get it right, you will make a big storm, and in the end, you won't even be able to protect your own night.

Therefore, Zeng Gongliang said very vaguely in the concert, appointing generals, but he did not say that one general.

But the matter is more urgent.

Therefore, he used a quick letter to inform his relatives in his hometown in Quanzhou, and they inquired about Wang Ju's movements.

Gyeongju doesn't count, under that great victory, the people are all grateful, so it is easy to govern. Quanzhou's side can be counted, although there are not as many powerful people as Hebei, but there are also a lot of heroes, and the people of Fujian Road themselves are more fierce, look at how Wang Ju governs, and how the people and Haoqiang are evaluated. If it is still done well, Zeng Gongliang dares to recommend it.

With this tiger sitting in Hebei, even if the Liao State is not afraid and comes to invade, it may not be able to please it, so there is nothing to do.

And so the news spread.

Not everyone is reluctant, but everyone here is certainly reluctant.

However, how could such a capable official be buried in Quanzhou?

When the old man surnamed Wen spoke, he carried a congratulation and a melancholy......

But they also thought wrong, Wang Jucai didn't want to leave Quanzhou.

After the feast, everyone dispersed.

Qiong Niang said: "Official, this time I will really leave Quanzhou." ”

"Why?"

"Jiefu Gong dismissed the prime minister, now the prime minister is Han Gong, the vice minister is Lu Jifu, one has a relationship with you in Gyeongju, the other has a good relationship with you, and then there is Zeng Gong's recommendation, the official will inevitably leave Quanzhou. Besides, those who have the same credit as you, Wang Shao served as the privy deputy envoy, Zhang Zihou served as the third envoy, and the official was only the governor of Quanzhou, isn't it inexplicable? ”

"Not necessarily," Wang Ju said.

Regardless of age, in terms of qualifications and merits, at least Wang Ju must be above Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing, and on a par with Wang Shao. At least it's better than Kumamoto, even Kumamoto gave him a three-grade court suit, but what about Wang Ju?

Wang Ju shook his head: "Otherwise, if Zhang Zihou didn't have the skill of fighting fires, how could he get the three envoys?" ”

It was a sensation.

Although it rained after the summer this year, it was generally very little, and September was a dry time.

Song Di, the judge of the Third Division, was on duty in the Third Division, and he was about unwell, so he asked his subordinates to cook medicine for him. I don't know how to do it, but the guide is on fire.

And the fire quickly became bigger, Zhao Ji stood in the west corner tower and watched, and he couldn't wait to jump down to put out the fire.

This is the treasury of the three divisions, how much money do you have to burn?

The treasurer of the three divisions is in the west of the imperial city, and there is a military camp in the west, and the houses of some military generals, such as the homes of Pan Mei and Yang Ye, are in this area, as well as many workshops of the ordnance supervisor.

Just when everyone was stunned, Zhang Dian summoned craftsmen and officers and soldiers to come to put out the fire.

If it weren't for Zhangdun, I don't know how much I lost in the end. That's it, 1,000 and 80 houses were also burned, and the wealth and the case were not known to be damaged, and Zhao Ji was burned to the core. In a fit of rage, the three envoys Yuan Jiang, Song Di and others were all demoted, and then the three envoys were replaced by Zhang Dian.

That is to say, without this fire, Zhang Dian is still in charge of the ordnance superintendent, although under Wang Yanti, the current ordnance superintendent is higher than the previous ordnance superintendent, even above the Kapok Division.

As for Han Jiang, Wang Ju didn't offend Han Jiang, but he didn't really give much credit to Han Jiang in Gyeongju, why did Han Jiang promote Wang Ju?

Lu Huiqing, it's really hard to say, even if Wang Ju is promoted, he won't let Wang Ju worry about his heavy position. He's about to get his own door...... How to make Wang Ju threaten his position?

However, if Zeng Gongliang is recommended by the iron heart, it is really not easy to say.

But why should Zeng Gongliang recommend himself?

Wang Ju pondered for a long time and suddenly woke up: "North." ”

Can I go to Hebei Road? Then it's better to go to Lingnan in advance. (To be continued......)
