Chapter 141: The first step in the transformation of the Great Song Dynasty

Zhao Ji was very happy, what he saw was a great fortune, not to mention anything else, the city alone could keep more than 2 million yuan. 『』

Although he is the Son of Heaven, he can be said to be rich in the sea, but the Son of Heaven also has a dark place, and no one is too little in money. What suits his mind the most is that Wang Xiu proposed the establishment of the Prime Minister's Office for National Affairs, which has the atmosphere of the Heavenly Empire, which was originally unified, but he changed it to reason with a stroke of his pen, which is more in line with the mentality of all nations coming to the court.

Seeing the demeanor of the kingdom and hearing the sound of money strings, he was eager to implement it in all parts of the country immediately. But he is not stupid, he understands that offending people still comes step by step, and Cai Jing becomes a gun appropriately.

Then again, the continuous war between the northwest and the party, the imperial court's finances are tight, and the people are complaining, and Tang Ge, who has always been cautious and cautious, also began to complain, saying that the treasury of the household department is empty, and the money of the Taifu Temple cannot be moved, and it is really difficult for him, the second housekeeper of the household department, to be a man.

Taifu Temple also frequently wrote books, saying that the household department was mismanaged, and every time it embezzled Taifu reserves, causing the Taifu treasury to be empty.

The two central financial yamen dogs bit the dogs, and they didn't dare to say that Zhao Ji spent money lavishly and fished with all his might. I have to say that the imperial court's finances are facing depletion, and even the distribution of officials' salaries is not very timely, and there are really many important ministers who want to open it up, provided that they are not intercepted.

Tang Ge said very inappropriately: "Your Majesty, the bank on Wang Xiu's chapter exploited the people's interests too much, and it seems a bit inappropriate to set up the Prime Minister's Office of National Affairs and divide the power of the city department and the bureau. ”

Zhao Heng did not answer, but was high up, with a Taoist style that reigned over the world, well, he was the Son of Heaven, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor.

Cai Jing frowned slightly, glanced at Tang Ge dissatisfiedly, and said lightly: "Wang Xiu's chapters and chapters are all good ways to open source, as for the city and the bureau, it is time to rectify and rectify." ”

Everyone is in their hearts, and there are a few people who have ghosts in their hearts who can't help kicking, such a big benefit, those officials who are in the city and the bureau can not be filial piety to one or two, unless you don't want to mix, how can there be a bird in the world that eats alone.

"Wang Xiu's method is good, and it is a wonderful pen under the Qing family." Zhao Ji lightly, mentioning Wang Xiu, also by the way, also annoyed Cai Jing, this is the emperor's way of employing people, the ministers are still his courtiers, and they will never be able to get out of his control, even Cai Jing, a high-ranking and powerful veteran of the Four Dynasties.

How could Cai Jing not understand Zhao Ji's intentions, he was not a special person, this was the consistent way of the Zhao official family, and the credit could not be obtained by him alone, and he said at the moment: "Your Majesty, the minister and Wang Xiu are just thinking about the Great Song Dynasty." ”

It is also reasonable to let Wang Xiu get a piece of the pie, after all, it is Wang Xiu's first song, and besides, he admires Wang Xiu very much, so he took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation.

"The Qing family is very relieved, I am very relieved, the establishment of the Prime Minister's national affairs yamen, unified jurisdiction over foreign trade and industrial and commercial bank affairs, what do the secretaries want" Zhao Ji said very gently, but the attitude is extremely clear, that is, I have decided, all the secretaries will give face, otherwise I will not give you face.

The old fox present didn't know which of them, especially Wu Min, Zhao Ye and other Cai Jing's henchmen seconded the proposal.

Once the official post of the prime minister to handle the affairs of various countries is established, the status of the Xicheng Kutian Office will inevitably be reduced, and it is not such a glorious thing to rely on forcibly occupying the people's land, and it will not last long, and the local people's resentment is boiling, which is enough to make some sober people arouse their alarm.

At this opportune time, Wang Xiu's performance was approved by Zhao Ji, and a bank was established to set up the prime minister's yamen for national affairs, which completely legalized the legal pledge treasury and illegal underground lending of the people, so that the royal family and the government could collect the wealth of the people in the form of shares or official offices, and the most important thing was the windfall profits of the field and the maritime affairs.

This is a good thing, at least for most people, it is a profitable good thing, the bank is different from the naked forcible seizure of Xicheng Kutian, although the money that can be collected is certainly not lower than that of Xicheng Kutian, but it is more secret and easier for people to accept, with a layer of warmth and affection, it will not arouse too much public anger.

Wang Hao felt that Cai Jing's intentions were quite profound, and it could even be said that he was reducing his power and increasing the power of the Cai family.

However, Zhao Ji's attitude has been very clear, the important ministers are each playing Xiao Jiujiu, if he fights in this matter, it will be in Cai Jing's arms. If he seconded it, Cai Jing's great credit would be Cai Jing's, and he would inevitably be more favored by Zhao Ji, who was originally inferior to Cai Jing's qualifications and power, would definitely fall behind.

However, in the end, he is a veteran politician who is mixed with officialdom, and thousands of thoughts flashed through him in an instant, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the interests of opening a bank are very good, and the profits of the people are often higher than those of the government. However, the prime minister's power in national affairs is too heavy, and the stakeholders are heavy, so he must use important ministers to concurrently serve as ministers, and the ministers think that Cai's talents are outstanding and can take on this position. ”

Having said that, the group of old foxes in the hall knew Wang Hao's intentions very clearly, and they all cast complicated eyes at him meaningfully. Not to mention that this guy turned his face and sold the Buddha, just by turning his face and not recognizing people's despicable heart, it makes people despised.

Since Wang Huang has a good plan, since he can't confront Cai Jing head-on, then push the boat with the current, and when it's not too late, take the opportunity to join it and get a piece of the pie, which is always better than offending the Son of Heaven with will.

In fact, recommending Cai You's office is really Wang Huang's wonderful magic pen, although Cai Jing and Cai You are father and son, but in recent years, Cai You's power has risen, and there is a faint tendency to fight against Cai Jing

The main reason for Wang Hao to throw such a sweet bait is that Cai You is doing everything possible to drive Cai Jing out of the court, and Cai Qian is the first to bear the brunt.

Once Cai You is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister's countries, his strength and favor can rise rapidly, although there is a major drawback, but he can fight with Cai Jing and lose both, which is what Wang Hao is willing to watch. Second, Wang Hao first advocated the grace of recommendation, Cai You will inevitably receive this favor, and he Wang Hao will slowly accept it in the future. As for the power of dividing the city and playing the bureau, he didn't mention it, anyway, the Zhao officials have made decisions, and let Cai Jing take care of the things that offend people Cai You glanced at Wang Huang leisurely, and also understood the intentions of this guy, and he didn't look down on Wang Hao's personality, but he was very interested in promoting the prime minister's national affairs, although it was only tried in some areas, but he also saw the great prospects of this, and the worst was stronger than Shenxiao Shangqing Palace
