Chapter 589: It Must Be Done
The imperial court began to repay the money, in a fashionable phrase, to repay the national debt, first repaying three million yuan.
Then began to continue the process of great disarmament, and continued to move people to the Hetao, and Gan Qi also had a fashionable word for this matter: the Hetao Production and Construction Corps.
The households that moved in were still managed by the establishment of the army, and militia groups were organized for self-defense and some weapons and armor were issued.
First, it is to guard against nuisance by party members, and second, it is to facilitate management and mobilization.
Today's party members have completely instigated themselves and returned to the other side of the Gobi Desert, never daring to come east again. The reason is very simple, the Liao State was completely defeated, Di Yong went to the northwest with the mighty army, and the last chance for the party was gone.
The disarmament of immigration continues to proceed in a step-by-step manner, and the tax reform of the land is beginning to be concretely formulated.
Gan Xianggong rarely felt some leisure, there were no major events in the court, and they were all errands that needed time to polish.
Finally, I can go home and sleep a few times, and make an appointment with three or five friends for a few drinks, Bianliang City is a place of life and pleasure.
As for Fu Bi, you have to wait, wait for such an opportunity, it won't be too long, just wait for the Liao people to reply to Fu Bi, it should be time for Fu Bi to plant.
There are some things that Gan Qi thinks very clearly and thinks far-reaching, and this time he will inevitably be caught. Today's Liao State, the crisis of decadence and destruction will inevitably assist Gan Qi's plan.
Fan Lou held a banquet, Zhao Zonghan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wu Chengwu, Cai Qu, Li Ding, Chen Han......
There is also a young Cai Jing, and Su Shi is also accompanied by a young Gao Yu to serve.
Others include Qin Shaoyou, Huang Tingjian, Shen Kuo, Zhang Shangying and others.
Sima Guang won't come, he has to maintain a clear demeanor and can't flatter. Feng Jingben also invited, but he was delayed.
Today, Gan Xianggong went to Fan Tower, Fan Lou was already crowded, from Gan Xianggong sent people to set a banquet, the news had already leaked, and countless people rushed to Fan Lou to wait.
It's not that these literati have any attachment intentions, today's Gan Xianggong is not something that ordinary people can get, so rushing, most people just want to admire Gan Xianggong's demeanor from afar.
Now Fanlou's Oiran is named Yun Jin'er, and he is also an acquaintance, and when Yan Jidao competed with Su Shi in the past, Yun Jin'er was the biggest winner.
Yun Jin'er is also in her early twenties now, and it is the hottest time, and in a few years, she will begin to "grow old and decay".
Fan Lou North Garden, in the hall, gathered together, and now Gan Xianggong a department, gathered here, Fan Lou today must be to do their best, singing and dancing poetry, how grand and grand how to come.
All of them are talented, between pushing cups and changing lamps, pen and ink Danqing come and go, poems are at hand, and after drinking a few cups, there is no regret in splashing ink.
For example, Zhao Zonghan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Su Zhe and others are a small circle, sitting in front of the head, chatting with each other, and receiving a toast from time to time.
Wu Chengwu listened on the sidelines, smirking non-stop, and sometimes interjecting two sentences and quoting scriptures.
Qin Shaoyou and Huang Tingjian are now just getting involved in officialdom, either Chinese books or subordinates, they are both minor officials who are editors and editors, and when they are walking around with people, they also toast and recognize people everywhere.
The most active has to belong to Cai Jing, this guy has not yet entered the jinshi, waiting to enter the exam, but he is very good at interpersonal relations, from top to bottom, as long as he speaks, there is no one who is not smiling.
Su Shi has now come out of the haze of his wife's death, he just married his ex-wife's sister, and his life is chic again, after drinking a few glasses, he was happy and raised his hand: "Gao Yu, come, give Gan Xianggong a song." ”
The young man came to the farts and bowed down again and again.
Su Shi also praised on the side: "Dao Jian, this kid is promising, he is good at blowing, playing and singing, I didn't teach him much, he groped by himself, and he became a few good crafts." ”
Gan Qi nodded, looked at Gao Yu, and always felt a little strange, so he just said: "Come to the fun of killing, don't babble, a man should play such a tune." ”
Gao Yu bowed again, and then began to stroke the qin, and King Qin broke the formation.
But at this time, Feng Jing came late and went forward to confess.
Gan Qi raised his hand, and Feng Jing sat down, but he frowned.
Gan Qi didn't ask, there were some things that he didn't need to ask, and Gan Qi himself was embarrassed to ask.
Although it is a party to have fun, but in such a situation, everyone will inevitably get down to business.
Gan Qi has many plans, such as Su Shi Su Zhe, Gan Qi wants to cultivate Su Shi Su Zhe, although the word cultivation is not necessarily appropriate, but this is the case.
Regarding Su Shi, Gan Qi doesn't have much hope, he just wants to give it a try, if he can succeed, he will succeed, or if he doesn't, Su Shi has been difficult to really care about officialdom and politics in his life.
But Su Zhe is very promising.
So Gan Qi said: "Brother Zizhan, after a few days, I want you to go to Chengdu Mansion, how about it?" ”
"Prefect?" Su Shi asked.
Gan Qi nodded: "Chengdu Mansion is a rich place, but also a place of cultural context, you go, one is to thoroughly implement the business tax, it is Chengdu Mansion, a year can enter as many as three or four million for the imperial court, and the second is that Shu is far away, the policy is difficult to reach, and then there is the innovation of spreading the land into the mu, when someone is staring at it." There is also the matter of disarmament. ”
The country of abundance is Su Shi's hometown, it is appropriate for Su Shi to go to this matter, whether Su Shi can have a future in officialdom in this life depends on this experience.
Su Shi nodded: "Then I'll go, since Dao Jian has such a trust, I should do my best in the matter of Shudi." ”
Gan Qi actually had worries in his heart, afraid that Su Shi would not be serious. Gan Qi said to Su Zhe again: "Ziyou went to Hangzhou, the land south of the Yangtze River, which is also the top priority, and it is also these few things. ”
Su Zhe was also nodding, knowing what Gan Qi meant.
In fact, it is not difficult to analyze and guess that the Great Song Dynasty went north to Guangzhou, but it was these places, Gan Qi arranged personnel in this way, which was to control Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and implement reforms, so that the rich land would naturally go first, whether it was commercial tax or field tax, the richest place was the most important.
At this time, Gao Yu also finished playing the music of King Qin's breaking formation, and Gan Qi said again: "Brother Zizhan, this son is smart, he should get a household registration for him to go to school, and he can also take the exam in the future." ”
Su Shi nodded: "What Dao Jian said is reasonable, this son was wronged by my side as a companion and entourage, so he will settle his household registration in Chengdu, and go to school and take the exam there." ”
Gao Yu already knelt on the ground and bowed: "The villain thanked Gan Xianggong and the master for his great kindness." ”
"Get up, it's up to you." Su Shi raised his hand and motioned for Gao Yu to stand behind.
Gao Yu hurriedly got up and stood behind Su Shi, poured wine and tea for Su Shi and took a cloth towel.
After a while, Wang Anshi reported on the matter of the money bank: "Gan Xiang, now that the money bank has absorbed a lot of savings, is it open to ordinary people's loans?" ”
Gan Qi sat up straight and said solemnly: "It must be opened, but this charter needs to be carefully discussed. The most feared thing is bad debts, and how to recover the money released is the top priority, so it is very important to review the loan. Mortgage loans are the best, and credit loans must have detailed regulations, investigations, guarantees, and control amounts. Another important point is how to deal with the accounts that cannot be recovered, and there must be no human transactions......"
Gan Qi said slowly, and Wang Anshi also took a pen to write it down. There are too many doorways to be cautious.
For Wang Anshi, the private lending of money is itself to protect the people, prevent the people from borrowing usury, and have channels to survive some green and yellow times. I'm afraid that once I can't pay back the money, I will either sell my sons and daughters or sell my land and houses.
Therefore, Wang Anshi was deeply impressed by Gan Qi's words, nodded again and again, and asked: "How should this interest be calculated?" ”
"Five percent annual simple interest and six percent quarterly interest, so let's calculate it. There are only two deadlines, which is easy to calculate. Either three months, so a quarter, or a year. Gan Qi said this, also for the sake of simplicity and not those twists and turns.
Wang Anshi nodded: "That's it, for specific details, I will first discuss a specific charter with the people in Qianzhuang, and then report it." ”
"Yes."
The matter is over, and at this time, Qin Shaoyou came forward to worship: "Sir, there are many scholars outside, and the Fan Building has been full, and many people have entrusted it to invite, saying that they are asking Mr. to write a poem, and the students will come to ask Mr. what he means." ”
Question?
Gan Qi is not used to it, it is okay to give exam questions, why not write a strategy? Gan Qi thought so, but felt that it was too disappointing to come up with a strategy, so he said: "Let's take the topic of breaking the captivity." ”
"Sir, then when the time comes, will you choose a good work, will Mr. comment on one or two?" Qin Shaoyou asked again.
Qin Shaoyou was obviously dragged away and said that there was no way, there were countless scholars outside, how could he miss today's great opportunity? It's rare for Mr. Gan to show up, and his fame is today.
Gan Qi smiled: "There are countless talents in this hall today, all of them can be commented, and they are sent." ”
Gan Qi had already looked at Su Shi.
Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed, his face was bright, and he hurriedly went out. Outside the door, he had a lot of friends and acquaintances, just waiting for Qin Shaoyou's good news.
But Cai Jing also went out, it should have been out to sell favors.
At this time, Feng Jing walked next to Gan Qi, looking like he wanted to speak.
Gan Qi naturally opened his mouth first: "Why is it so difficult for the world brother?" ”
"Alas......" Feng Jing first sighed and shook his head, and then said slowly: "Gan Xiang knows it in his heart, but he is in a dilemma......
"When the world brother does not have to be embarrassed, just don't listen to the things outside the window, many things are okay with the world brother, recently Brother Jiefu is in charge of the three big and small things, I also think, do you want to give Brother Jiefu a helper, think about it, when the world brother is the most suitable, when the third envoy, I don't know what the world brother thinks?"
Feng Jing is available, naturally it can't be pushed out, Wang Anshi is too busy, he has to be busy with the third division, he has to be busy with Qianzhuang, and he has to be busy with political affairs, so someone has to help Wang Anshi.
There is another point, that is, Gan Qi also needs fame and word of mouth. When the time comes, Fu Bi will be done, but Fu Bi's son-in-law will be reused, this is a good name, a good name for the public, worthy of a great duke and selflessness.
Feng Jing waved his hand again and again: "I dare not be ashamed, I dare not be ashamed." ”
Gan Qi said: "When the world brother is so talented, why don't you dare to be? They all serve the imperial court, and when the errands are done, they are loyal to the country. ”
Wang Anshi still said with a smile on the side: "Yes, I'm really busy and dark, and I am lacking such a good helper in the world." ”
Feng Jing shook his head again and sighed: "I just entered these three envoys, but I didn't know what I would be scolded when I turned around." ”
Feng Jing knew that he was indispensable to an ungrateful and insulting person.
The big things in the court are really under the table, and everything is so simple.
Chengdu Mansion, Hangzhou, and the three envoys were all in a banquet.
At this time, poems began to be sent outside the door, and there were countless young scholars outside the door.
Gan Qi didn't look at it, but let Su Shi and Su Zhe look at it, and also took this as a reason, and asked Feng Jing to see it too, so as not to hesitate here.
Su Shi shook his head again and again, and there were words in his mouth: "The topic of Dao Jian is not good, all of them are written as flattering sycophants, and there is no poem that lacks the name of Dao Jian, and they are praised one by one, not beautiful or beautiful......"
Gan Qi was embarrassed, he just wanted these literati to write some blood-boiling words, describing more blood on the battlefield, the courage of the army, and the righteousness of the family and country. Unexpectedly, it made Gan Qi "sell himself and boast".
Gan Qi hurriedly said: "Change the question, change the question, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, just write the Mid-Autumn Festival......"
No matter how much you write about the Mid-Autumn Festival, it won't be written about Gan Qi.
The banquet continued, and Qin Shaoyou, a scholar from Ganmen, went out embarrassed, just to talk to everyone, Gan Xianggong didn't like those flattering words, and he was angry when he heard it.
Gan Qi suddenly remembered one more thing, and asked Wang Anshi tentatively: "Brother Jiefu, I want to abolish redundant officials and abolish the matter of grace, what do you think?" ”
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's okay to dismiss redundant officials, it's not difficult to figure out this matter slowly." But if the grace is abolished, I am afraid that the world will be in an uproar. ”
Gan Qi frowned, this matter is this kind of opinion here in Wang Anshi, it seems that the world is really in an uproar. Literati study to be officials, and to be an official is to get ahead, and if you get ahead, you will naturally be blessed and future generations.
The father is an official, and his son can also be an official after Enyin. This system is obviously bad, but in this day and age, there is a reason for his existence.
How difficult is it for Ganchi to abolish it? However, if it is not abolished, the abolition of redundant officials will become a dead letter. The imperial court spent so much money, and it continued to arrange official positions for those who did not pass the exams. And those who are admitted to the Jinshi still have to wait for official vacancies, and they also have to take the system examination.
The Great Song Dynasty did not have official positions, but there were too many officials and leaders. Even those who are waiting for officials to be vacant never feel that there is anything wrong with Enyin, because in the future, they all think that their son can also be Enyin, and they don't have to take the test again.
Ganchi was silent.
Wang Anshi said again: "Gan Xiangmo really wants to abolish Enyin? ”
"Hmm." Gan Qi nodded earnestly.
"This ...... Think twice! Wang Anshi said. This incident completely shook the fundamental interests of the scholars.
"Then let's start with the abolition of redundant officials, start with the sending officials, anyone can only receive a salary, but anyone who does not go to duty or does not work will not be paid, especially those who return to their hometowns, their names can be retained, and they will not be paid. I will perform this in the court, and you will all have to speak out when the time comes. ”
Gan Qi is going to start, it's really too much to eat in this court, and the salary is so high, hundreds of times a month, hundreds of times, where can you afford it? There are also people who receive a few salaries, and some people still return to their hometown with their original treatment after retirement.
None of these scholars and doctors were poor, and none of them lived on money, but they all received money from the imperial court, which must be reformed. Many old ministers, retired to the title of the grandfather of the country, or still keep the original name, in the court, the people who receive the Zhongshu Men Pingzhang Affairs, there are not ten but also eight, and the royal children can also seal the Zhongshu Men Pingzhangshi, all receive this money, four or five hundred a month, and also pay nanny subsidies and clothing subsidies.
With such a raising, how can the imperial court not lack money? Gan Qi deserves to be a careful budgeter, and the national debt has been figured out.
Gan Qi frowned and spoke seriously, Wang Anshi thought about it for a while, and said, "You can try." ”
"It's not a trial, it's a layoff, it must be done." Gan Qi said.
Wang Anshi only felt that the pressure was huge, but he also knew that what Gan Qi did made sense.
