"Your Majesty, if the number of people is small, you will kill it, but there are too many people, and the banking department needs some deterrent bombs to suppress the small night, but it doesn't need too much blood."

In fact, in doing this, first, there are indeed too many people, and second, Wang Ju doesn't want to die, so under the premise of not dying, he will deter them, so as not to cause greater accidents.

Especially after this incident, there are still some noises in the Jingcheng Square, which must be taken as a warning.

Think about how many usury were in the entire Song Dynasty, and if these people were all killed, let these people have misunderstandings and unite against the banking department...... And what I am most worried about is that the people of other states and counties have also misjudged and come to the capital to file lawsuits.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Do you not seek justice for those who are subject to usury?

Wang Ju also thought about it.

There are many things that affect the health of the world, and there are so many injustices in the world, can you get justice one by one? Speaking of acceptance, how can this usury all over the world be accepted?

Therefore, if one is not killed, there is a deterrence, which also means that the court has turned a big thing into a small thing and a small thing.

According to the news he heard, the hearing that day, because the time was delayed for too long, Zhao Ju was slightly unwell the next day.

It's not a good sign.

Therefore, there is no need to analyze the stakes to Zhao Ji, there is no time to learn and reflect!

It's better to be a foolish emperor under your own operation, so that you can live for a few more years.

Zhao Ji really didn't think much about it, since ancient times, China has not been held accountable by law, and he asked again: "How is Jiang Zhiqi?" ”

Jiang Zhiqi is now serving as the deputy envoy of the 12th Route in the South, that is, the minister who sued Ouyang Xiu for adultery with his daughter-in-law.

Wang Ju thought for a while: "I haven't been in China for the past two years, but I've heard about it. This person can be called Xiao Xue Xiangye. ”

That is, Jiang Zhiqi has a very good financial management ability.

Wang Ju's evaluation is very high, but it is not an excessive evaluation, in terms of financial management ability, in terms of government affairs ability, a Jiang Zhiqi can be a hundred Ouyang Xiu!

"Among the ministers of today. And that minister is good at managing money? ”

This issue is also more critical.

How to say, once the banking department opens the curtain, the status of the shipping department will be more important, without him, and the amount of buying and buying and buying will increase a lot, how to reasonably buy and buy, it will be more important. If you don't know how to manage money, you will suffer the people, and those who know how to manage money. Instead, it will bless the people.

The problem is that the three divisions, the banking department and the shipping department all need an official who is good at financial management, but the imperial court can't always use these ministers, right?

Wang Ju was silent, and said after a long time: "Xue Xiang doesn't mention it, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are few people who can match it in terms of financial management, but even if it can compare to Jiang Zhiqi, there are also not many, at least the minister didn't notice." ”

"And what about the other side?"

"Most of them are businessmen. But that's it, adjusted many times one after another. ”

"Financial officials are so hard to find?"

"That's it. Moreover, the important scholars and doctors in my dynasty were all born in Jinshi and the first, and they were distorted by Confucianism later, and they were ashamed to talk about profits, and they didn't even dare to talk about profits. ”

"Confucianism is broad ......?"

"No, Your Majesty. The scholar is reluctant to talk about profit, because he is influenced by the master's sentence, the gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable. In fact, this benefit refers to benefits, not money. Think about a country that has no money for food. Can this country still exist? Therefore, we should not read Confucianism out of context, but read it together, as the master said, "Rich and can be sought, even if you are a whipper, I will do it." If you can't ask for it, do what I like. For the sake of wealth, even being a coachman is not ashamed. However, the master put morality above wealth and nobility, so he said that the scholars are committed to the Tao, and those who are ashamed of clothes and evil food are not enough to discuss. He also said that the food is sparse and the water is sparse, and the humerus is bent and the pillow is pillowed, and the joy is also in it. Unrighteous wealth and nobility are like floating clouds to me. ”

"Willing to be poor without losing morality, of course, it should be praised, but those who talk about profit without losing morality cannot be blamed, on the contrary, I try to collect money behind the back of the doctor, but I am not allowed to talk about profit, and I am also full of moral articles, these are the real hypocrites, more hateful than villains. However, if there are other officials who are good at managing money, the ministers will pay attention to it, and if so, they will be recommended to His Majesty. ”

Zhao Ji can be said to have heard it, that is, the general environment of the Song Dynasty is that scholars are becoming more and more hypocritical, and this kind of environment is not conducive to the grinding of financial officials.

Even if you have talent, you can't grow well in this environment.

Therefore, with a Jiang Zhiqi, it is very good.

Zhao Ji sighed slightly.

Wang Ju said again: "Zeng Gong is also seriously ill. ”

After that day, Fu Bi returned to Luoyang, and under the shame and anger, his condition worsened.

Wang Ju was unrelenting, and then proposed at the Chang Dynasty meeting that he should worship Fu Bi as the Zhongshu Order, which is an official, not Lao Wang's real Zhongshu Order, and at the same time pass on the edict to commend Fu Bi's life's merits, and then deliberately explain that this time he entered Beijing, but Fu Bi was deceived by the villain, please Fu Bi don't blame himself. Several more imperial doctors were dispatched, and Fengchen Pupu rushed to Luoyang to diagnose Fu Bi.

What else should I do?

As soon as the old man died, some people said that Wang Ju forced him to death.

In this way, even if the old rich man dies, it has nothing to do with Wang Ju.

At the same time, there were several people who were seriously ill, that is, the group of old guys in Luoyang, who were unwilling to leave Luoyang.

But they are delusional, the court comforts Fu Bi, it is Fu Bi's prestige, these old guys, let's wash and sleep.

However, there is one person who is really sick, and that is Zeng Gong.

Old, sick, dead.

It's normal.

Wang Ju said about the candidate: "Your Majesty, Zeng Gong is seriously ill and can't manage the government, and the minister wants to replace him with Su Zhe." ”

"Xiao Su?"

"Yes."

"How is Su Shi?"

"Your Majesty, in terms of talent, ancient and modern exchanges, Su Shi can be said to be the first, even Li Bai can't be compared, without him, because Su Shi is omnipotent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, everything can crown the world. But this talent has little to do with the rule of officials. Just like Li Bai. If he is allowed to be the prime minister, can he do a good job as the prime minister? Although he dreams of wanting to be Xie An. ”

Zhao Ji was said to be happy.

Therefore, the imperial court can pay a little attention to it, and it can't be wronged too much, but it can't be reused, and a prefect of the Taiping State is good. However, Su Zhe is different, although he is not as talented as his brother. But it's more stable. Steadiness is the foundation of a minister. ”

"Qing and the prince said it as if it were, but the prince didn't say why."

Originally, Zhao Ji wanted to transfer Su Dongpo back to Beijing to repair the history of the country, but Lao Wang felt embarrassed. Zhao Ji saw it, and said, don't use Su Shi, how about using Zeng Gong. Lao Wang said that it would be good to use Zeng Gong.

They are also from the Tang and Song dynasties, and their writing is not bad.

Zhao Ji suddenly had a whim and asked. Compared with the ancients, Su Shi is closer to whom. Lao Wang replied without thinking, quite like Li Bai. Zhao Ji said, otherwise, Li Bai has Su Shi's talent, without Su Shi's learning, Su Shi does not repair the history of the country, and he knows how Jiangzhou is with his own officials? Lao Wang said. Su Shi's slander is slow, and it is inconvenient to use. Your Majesty, please think again.

That's why there is the sentence Zhao Ji.

And Wang Ju is more just.

Such a talented person can't be slack, but Su Dongpo's talent has nothing to do with political talent, and Xiao Su is stable, and Da Su is not stable when he speaks outside the words. Therefore, he can be a governor, but he cannot enter the center as an important minister of the imperial court.

Lao Wang was also faintly aware of it, but he didn't say why. It's just that the slander is slow and unconvincing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji sighed in his heart, if Wang Ju didn't have an ambiguous relationship with his aunt, he would let Wen Yanbo grab his tail. That's good. At least his talents in all aspects are far above Wang Jue.

"That's right," Zhao said again.

Zeng Gong is just a Chinese scholar, and it is not a big problem to replace Xiao Su, so Zhao Ji agreed.

In fact, Wang Ju's recommendation of Xiao Su at this time is of great significance, and now the court is dominated by the New Party, just like Pu Zongmeng, who Wang Ju did not pay much attention to before, belongs to the category of the New Party. In fact, in another time and space, Pu Zongmeng was more radical, Zhao Ji sighed that there was no talent, Pu Zongmeng said that talent was half ruined by Sima Guang's heresy. It's not that there are no talents, but they all listened to Sima Guang's heresies, so that they all became bad people. But in another time and space, Wang Anli was reused by Zhao Ji.

When this anti-bone boy heard this, he was furious, so he repeatedly instigated it, and bewitched Yushi to impeach him for being desolate in wine and governing the mansion, so Zhao Ji degraded Pu Zongmeng to Ruzhou.

However, if you have a mansion system, can you compare it with the mansion of Shangfubi and Wang Gongchen?

Wang Ju doesn't know about this, and he won't be surprised if he knows, it's from the hand of the anti-bone boy Wang Anli, isn't it too normal?

Therefore, in general, most of the important ministers of the court are the new party.

If it is a new party like Zhang Dan, Wang Ju is the most welcome.

However, most of these new parties had no contact with him, especially Xie Siwen, who also rejected Wang Ju.

It's just that the old party is not small, so it won't have too much malice towards Wang Ju.

But he dismantled the Luoyang Elders' Association, and the pressure on the old party was immediately reduced. There are very few people in the New Party who are good friends with him, and many of them are still followers of Wang Anshi, and they themselves will soon vigorously correct the shortcomings in Wang Anshi's reforms.

When that happens, there may be new variables.

Therefore, the transfer of Xiao Suti, who belongs to the conservatives, to the capital and serve as a member of the Zhongshu Society, will be of great help to Wang Juhui, and at the same time, it can also win the support of some moderates of the old party, at least to alleviate the negative impact of the dismantling of the Elders' Association.

As for the friendship between Wang Ju and Xiao Su, what is it? At least Wang Ju is not like most scholars, who go around marrying children and relatives with powerful people.

"Actually, the other side is not bad," Zhao Ji said suddenly.

Wang Ju was taken aback.

In fact, Zhao Ji really didn't mean anything else, but he began to vaguely feel that many systems on the other side should be more advanced than those of the Song Dynasty.

This is also the effect that Wang Ju wants.

In fact, many of them are still under secrecy, such as Wang Ju's control over the other side, the future constitutional monarchy, and the establishment of the four major provinces and the central administration. None of this can be disclosed, at least for the next five or six years.

However, most of the situation has been made public to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji is not a fool, he is also reflecting, but after reflection, he often becomes more and more melancholy......

This is a good phenomenon, but Wang Ju is also afraid that Zhao Ji will want to crooked the building, explained: "The other side and the inland are the same, just like the way of agricultural civilization management, substitute for nomadic people to manage, Hehuang is a little better, belongs to the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural civilization, if it is a full nomadic civilization, I use the management mode of agricultural civilization to manage, it will be a disaster." The same is true on the other side, and if all the management methods on the other side are substituted for our dynasty, it will also be a disaster. ”

"And the biggest difference is that the land on the other side is vast and sparsely populated, and this one alone can't be done in my dynasty. Your Majesty, or imagine another way of thinking, if I don't worry about arriving land, with my economy, what kind of prosperity will there be? In addition, the maritime merchants made use of the economy in their hands and the power of our dynasty, coupled with the fact that the land on the other side was vast and sparsely populated, and almost all of them were desperately poor people, and if they had land, they were able to put down their bodies and work, so the other side seemed to be more stable than our dynasty. ”

"The power of my dynasty?"

"Of course, not to mention the people who migrate, if there is no economic foundation of our dynasty, how can the other side trade? Of course, this kind of interaction is more beneficial to our DPRK, such as the number of imports and exports on both sides. ”

Today, the amount of trade between the other side and the Song Dynasty has reached almost 10 million guan, but the amount exported to the Song Dynasty is only more than 4 million guan, and the number imported from the Song Dynasty has reached more than 5 million guan. But this was not exported to the other side, and more than half of it was transported to the Wa Kingdom and the Great Food to exchange for gold, silver, and timber.

However, the Wa Kingdom and the Great Food have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, that is, the annual import and export difference between the Song Dynasty and the other side has reached more than one million guan, so there is no doubt that it will be turned into gold, silver, copper and iron urgently needed by the Song Dynasty, and it will remain in the Song Dynasty.

And how many industries have been created by such a large amount of trade?

Just like the two million merchants in Hangzhou, if it were not for the maritime merchants on the other side of the strait who compromised to turn to Hangzhou and purchase these goods when they went south, then I don't know how many merchants would go bankrupt and how many craftsmen would lose their jobs.

This simple truth, Wang Ju will no longer show merit, he continued: "This is now, if the population on the other side increases in the future, it will begin to produce a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and there will also be problems similar to our dynasty, but the territory on the other side is too vast, and this time period will come a little slower." ”

"If then, will they break away from our court?"

Is this a temptation, or an unintentional question, Wang Ju thought in his heart. However, he replied quickly: "Your Majesty, you are thinking too much...... Far away, if you want to reach that step, with the space on the other side, I don't know that it will take four hundred or five hundred years, but the courtier has also taken precautions in advance, such as after the people arrive, they must swear that I am Chinese and will never betray China, otherwise they will be sentenced to death. In addition, if the population does not reach 90%, it is not allowed to be related to other races. In fact, this is also forced by the minister to be a domestic scholar, otherwise he will never be allowed to marry a foreign race. And the textbooks in various schools are also reminding students again and again. If they are adults on the other side, they must take a further oath to promise not to betray China before they can be issued adult ID cards. ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, China is the Song Dynasty, and they will not pay attention to the difference between the two.

But Zhao Ji was even more melancholy, he heard Wang Ju's extraneous voice, four or five hundred years later, the Song Dynasty probably did not exist......

Is there really no such thing as a nation that lasts forever?

Wang Ju didn't know that he could think so long-term, so he went back.

When he arrived in Zhongshu, he immediately drafted two edicts, and Lao Wang was also surprised, Wang Ju transferred Xiao Su back, and he could understand. But this one doesn't kill, he can't figure it out.

Wang Ju laughed and said, "Prince, do you think I am really a butcher?" It's a butcher, I'm not a butcher to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

But Lao Wang was very shrewd, and immediately came to his senses and said, "Zi'an, plan ahead." ”

It cannot be said that Wang Ju's edict is soft, once these merchants are allowed to return the money exploited by usury to the various sufferers, and order them to release the families of the sufferers one by one, redeem the wives and children they sold one by one, and send them to Shaanxi to work hard, then half of the families will be bankrupt.

However, if one does not kill, many contradictions can be resolved.

"Don't dare, Prince, let's open the banking department." It's a great time to open.

Wang Jue said, "Okay. ”

After tossing so many things, isn't it for this day? (To be continued.) )
