Chapter 569: Supervise the World
The big debate above the court began, Gan Qi naturally will not avoid it, this is a warm-up, the reform is one by one, and the disputes behind it are even greater, at this time, it is a warm-up first, which can be regarded as a rehearsal in advance.
Nineteen-year-old Zhao Ji, one head and two big, spoke in all directions, one by one foaming at the mouth, he was sweating like rain, his eyes looked at Gan Qi, with the meaning of asking for help.
Gan Xianggong listened, and listened to many officials finish speaking.
Until Sima Guang asked: "Gan Xianggong, your colleagues have said so much, please also ask Xianggong to solve your doubts." ”
Finally it was Gan Qi's turn, Gan Qi held the wat board in his arms and slowly spoke: "What you said, but two things, in fact, boil down to one thing, that is, whose money is the money bank, and what role the money bank has played in the country and the people. ”
Someone interjected: "Gan Xianggong, don't look at the share capital of so many people, in the final analysis, it is you who own the most shares, and this money bank still needs to ask?" Naturally, it is your willing money. ”
That's true, it's not true. I have the lion's share, but where does the money come from? But I'm alone? The turnover of the imperial court was not effective and there were difficulties. Qian Zhuang gathers the money of the people in the world and lends it to the imperial court for turnover, which is beneficial to the country and the people? If this method doesn't work, please come up with a way, how to raise money and food for the imperial court? Isn't it deducted from your Lurik? Isn't it clever to use the method of raising funds from the people to overcome the difficulties of the imperial court? Gan Qi asked many officials, and his eyes were also staring at Sima Guang.
Sima Guang was unable to answer this question for a while, and looked back at the many officials, and someone came out to answer: "Gan Xianggong, collecting the wealth of the people, and overcoming the difficulties of the court, the way is a good way, but why do you still need to collect interest from the court?" Isn't this an abuse of power for personal gain? Or is it a fortune that is difficult for the country, how can it be justified? ”
"Private lending, for a period of three months, nine out of thirteen. is so usurious, but there are still people who rush to borrow countless money, and the court borrows, one loan is as much as three million, do they also borrow the money that is nine out of thirteen? Of the three million guans, there are only 2.7 million guans, and after three months, 3.9 million guans will have to be returned. Is the interest rate high? Can I borrow it? Now that the court has borrowed money, it is 3 million yuan, and after three months, it will only need to repay 3045,000 yuan, is this kind of interest too much? If there is no benefit at all, how can Qianzhuang raise money and grain from the people for the use of the imperial court? I Ganqi don't have this means, and I ask you if you have this means, can you persuade the people of Bianliang to take out the money for free and give it to the imperial court? Ganchi replied.
"You, you are strong, according to what you say, this country should pay this forty-five thousand? Since the imperial court has no money, why can't it delay the reduction of redundant troops? Why do you have to borrow money to do it? ”
These words spoke the hearts of countless people, and many people looked overjoyed, as if they had hit Ganqi's pain point. Apparently many people really think so, since there is no money, then why do it now? Can't wait until the autumn tax comes up to do it?
Gan Qi looked at Sima Guang, and seeing that Sima Guang still didn't speak, he shook his head and said, "Everyone, I will settle the account with you as a child." At this time, I borrowed 3 million guan, and I got 45,000 more? If it drags on for three months, how much more money will the court pay? Do you have to pay the basic salary for 150,000 people for three months? How much is that? Not counting other payments, let's just say that the money, even if a person gives the usual five basic money every month, 150,000 people in three months is as much as 670,000 yuan, inside and out, is this a profit or a loss for the imperial court? Is this money borrowed or not? ”
It's not hard to calculate, but no one counts. Gan Qi calculated it, and the audience was naturally speechless, and Gan Qi had already broken and crumpled the truth and explained it thoroughly.
Gan Qi also looked at Fu Bi and asked, "What does Fu Xiang think?" Does that make sense? ”
Fu Bi smiled and nodded: "Makes sense." Gan Xianggong naturally makes sense. ”
This smiling tiger is really enduring. Gan Qi thought so, and asked left and right: "Do you think this money should be borrowed?" ”
Sima Guang finally spoke: "Let's not mention the matter of the imperial court's loan for the time being, but it is the money bank that exploits the merchants, and Gan Xianggong should also explain it." ”
"Exploitation, that's the wrong word. If a merchant wants to transport 100,000 yuan to other places, he will need several frames, a large number of people, and he will have to prevent halfway bandits from cutting the path, and he will inevitably have to ask someone to escort him. Time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, not to mention, it is also difficult to ensure safety. The money exchange solves all the above problems and saves countless manpower, material resources and time for merchants. What about exploitation? Doesn't the merchant have to spend money when it transports money? What is the difference between spending money that should have been spent, spending it on the frame and manpower, and spending it on money? Why is it exploited? Ganchi asked.
Sima Guang also has a reason: "Gan Xianggong, all over the country, in the city post station, countless people rely on escorting property to make a living, don't you cut off the livelihood of these people when you do this?" So what are they supposed to do? You have taken away the interests of the people, what should the people do? Is it a coward? ”
This is Sima Guang's consistent argument, nothing can compete with the people for profit, and no policy of the imperial court can harm others.
This question is really difficult to answer, emerging industries will definitely hit old industries, this is a proposition that will exist in any era.
Gan Qi also coped with it freely: "Sima Zhongcheng, exchange is exchange, but only for merchants. Money still has to be circulated, or there is property to be transported, it's just a matter of the money bank doing it for you. These people who make a living by escorting property naturally still have things to do, and the money village also has to protect the manpower, these people can still run the old business, why don't they have a livelihood? ”
Gan Qi lied, and the exchange was such a thing as to avoid shipping a lot of money around. As long as the money bank is saved, the amount of funds has increased, and there are savings funds in various places, as long as the phenomenon of the whole people running out of money does not occur, this point will be greatly avoided, and there is no need to transport money everywhere. It is only necessary to summarize the accounts, and the local banks can occasionally turn around with each other. As for the money village guards, they don't need too many people.
But Gan Qi's lie is to bully these officials and not understand this. I thought that if I exchanged, I really had to transport money everywhere.
Sima Guang obviously didn't understand the operation of the money bank, and was dumbfounded by Gan Qi.
Gan Qi took the initiative to haha: "That's it, this matter is discussed here, there will be a lot of things in the future when the court finds money to receive money, this time it is only three million yuan, and it is not a problem to demolish one or two million yuan in the future, this move is beneficial to the country and the people." After that, everyone got used to it. ”
At this point, Sima Guang was not angry, but breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing for Qian Zhuang to lend money to the imperial court for turnover, and it could save money. There is no exploitation, and there is no harm. This result is the best for Sima Guang. When he understood, he was at ease, and there was no personal battle of will. What's more, there is such a money bank now, and you can lend money to the imperial court anytime and anywhere, which is really a good thing.
Fu Bi was not comfortable, but he was still smiling on his face, brushing his beard and nodding.
It's really a good thing for Gan Qi to take advantage of it......
Zhao Ji was very happy, as soon as Gan Qi made a move, he knew if there was any, just now the Manchu Dynasty was full of officials, and the scene was still a little scary for him, the new emperor, and he couldn't resist it. Gan Qi said a few words, and they were honest and obedient, which was also refreshing.
Zhao Ji spoke: "Gan Xianggong has made a great contribution to the country, and he deserves to be the prime minister, which is gratifying." ”
In the warm-up, Gan Qi won a big victory, and he was in a good mood all day, and when he returned to the political hall, he was also full of smiles.
Now under the political hall, the books in the books have their own people, Cai Qu Li Ding, Feng Ziyu Confucius Xiang, it is very easy to use, everything is orderly.
Su Zhe is also walking around the political hall now, and Su Zhe is also a good hand. Only Su Shi, who is also a middle-aged doctor, has not worked recently, mourning his deceased wife at home, and washing his face with tears.
Su Shi's deceased wife, news came from the Wang family in Meizhou, Sichuan, and they were willing to marry Wang Fu's cousin Wang Yanzhi to Su Shi. It is also the Meizhou Wang family and the Meizhou Su family that are world friends.
When the news arrived at Su Shi, Su Shi also nodded. This matter is completed, just wait for the Wang family to send Wang Yanzhi again.
The next thing Gan Qi has to do is to prepare to start the national abolition of the forbidden compartment, starting from the inland state capital, and slowly go to the border, this process will be relatively long, if this thing is really done, in the future, the imperial court can save thirty or forty million yuan a year, and the extra money every year, and then train hundreds of thousands of elite new troops.
But this plan also has to have a premise, that is, to get the entire Hetao, otherwise there is really no place to settle such a large population. If you want to get all the Hetao in your hands and drive out all the party members in the Hetao, you have to completely deal with the Xingqing Mansion on the edge of the Yellow River, and to put it bluntly, you have to fight.
The plan of "spreading the land into the acre" is an extremely cumbersome matter, and it has to be delayed for a while, and we have to find a special time for one or two years to do only this one thing, because this one thing involves many problems. The most important thing is the supervision of the local yamen, and if all the various taxes are put together on the land tax, it is necessary to carry out a new and accurate measurement and record of all the land in the country.
Measuring land involves too much, the most important thing is the officials, and the most important thing is supervision. There is one person who can do this very well, and that is Sima Guang, and it is just right for a person like Sima Guang to use it in this kind of thing. The Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory must also be expanded and restructured, and the power of the Imperial Historical Observatory must be increased, and the manpower of the Imperial Historical Observatory will be expanded, so that they can supervise the world, and go all over the world like Jinyi Guards to arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
No one is more qualified for this position than Sima Guang, Qingliu conservatives have the usefulness of conservatives, don't beep every day, work.
Although the plan to spread the land into the mu has not really begun, the matter of the restructuring and expansion of the Yushitai has to be done first, so as not to have to do it temporarily, and the temporary office will be a mess.
All Gan Qi summoned Sima Guang to the political affairs hall.
Sima Guang arrived at the political affairs hall, his face was not good, he was still making trouble at the court meeting in the morning, and he was called over by Gan Qi in the afternoon, and he thought that there must be no good thing, didn't this Gan Xianggong want to beat himself?
Sima Guang's face was dark, and he was ready to argue with reason, even if he had a big quarrel with Gan Xianggong in this political hall. It is necessary to teach everyone how upright Sima Guang is, not afraid of power, and selfless.
Unexpectedly, Gan Xianggong greeted Sima Guang with a smile and said, "Sima Zhongcheng is hard. ”
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Serving the country is all right." ”
"Sima Zhongcheng has done his best for the society and is meticulous in running errands, which is really a rare talent, and he teaches people to yearn for it!" Gan Qi praised Sima Guang first.
Sima Guang was praised as confused, looking at Gan Qi, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gan Qi's gourd.
"This time I invited Zhongcheng to come to discuss important matters." Gan Qi is welcome.
"Please let me know."
"As the old saying goes, the major affairs of the country are worshiped in Rong. I also want to ask Zhongcheng, where is the rise and fall of this country? Ganchi threw a hook.
Sima Guangqingliu figure, thought about it, and replied: "The rise and fall of the country, learning from the past and the present, is nothing more than the rule of the officials, the whole and the bottom are united, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the courtiers do their best." This is prosperity, and if it is reversed, it will die. ”
"Yes, that's too right, Zhongcheng is really talented. However, many imperial histories in Wutai, but they are all in the temple, although they are responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, but they only see Bianliang a place round, every time I think about it, I feel that this matter is ......"
"Please speak clearly."
"I just feel that this position of supervising hundreds of officials, Yushitai has not done a good job, and he has not really done it." Gan Qi's face was dark, worried about the country and the people.
Sima Guang's heart tightened, and sure enough, when the knock came, Sima Guang's adrenaline soared, and he was ready for battle, and asked: "Xianggong's intentions, but it is not enough to preside over the overall situation of Yushitai?" ”
Gan Qi smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Zhongcheng is an immortal material, a pillar of the imperial court, if you say that Zhongcheng can't do this official, where in the world is there anyone who can do this official?" ”
Sima Guang was stunned again, confused, which one is this Gan Xianggong going to sing?
"I think about it, the Yushitai is still too few people, and the authority is small, and it is still difficult to supervise Bianliang, let alone the officials in the world, and now it is a time for a great talent like Sima Zhongcheng to preside over the Yushitai, and there is inevitably the idea of restructuring the Yushitai. Add more imperial history to various places, and send more officials to go around to investigate, so that they can be regarded as able to monitor the world. Gan Qi spoke earnestly.
What the? Sima Guang thought he had heard it wrong, this was to give Yu Shitai more power? More manpower? This Gan Xianggong still thinks that he has not caused him enough trouble?
"Is what Xiang Gong said true?" Sima Guang didn't believe it.
"Naturally, I am going to arrange another 300 officials for the Yushitai, plus 20,000 messengers, and all the state capitals will be stationed to supervise officials in various places to protect the country." Gan Qi waved his hand and opened his mouth, three hundred officials, twenty thousand officials, just like forming an army.
According to Gan Qi's prediction, this number of people is not enough, and when the time comes, how can the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection send people down on this point when the world measures the acres of land? It is necessary to stare at all places to death, not to seek clear water, but also to be basically clear, this is the national interest, arrest him hundreds or thousands of people, and make him a large family of hundreds or thousands of families.
You have to use magic to defeat magic, and you have to use the warriors to defeat the warriors. It is necessary to use Sima Guang to defeat these big families of scholars in various places.
Sima Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that Gan Qi was still joking, and said quietly: "Didn't Xianggong win the official and make fun?" He Zeng ...... of the Imperial Historical Observatory"
"Eh, how can it be a joke, the Imperial Historical Observatory is stationed in the world, this is a national policy, I will discuss it with Zhongcheng here, turn around and go to discuss it with Your Majesty, and then send officials to report to the Imperial Historical Observatory, and then transfer officials from the forbidden army and the Imperial City Division and other places, first cover all the state capitals, all this can be done by Zhongcheng." Gan Qi wasn't joking with Sima Guang.
This power is too great, isn't it? A three-grade imperial history Zhongcheng, with a mouth cannon yamen, suddenly became a yamen with real power, and he really supervised the officials of the world, this is .................. Good thing, right?
For the country and the people, that must be a good thing.
But Sima Guang always felt unsure, and asked: "Xianggong, can Your Majesty agree to this matter?" ”
"This is Your Majesty's intention, but Your Majesty can't say it, the so-called only me will come to tell Zhongcheng, and when the time comes, I will ask Zhongcheng to write a book, Your Majesty will approve it, and then nod your head under the door of Zhongshu, and it will be done." Gan Qi pulled up the tiger skin as a banner and flickered Sima Guang. Sima Guang has to charge into battle for this matter, and there will definitely be a certain backlash from supervising hundreds of officials, after all, it is the world of scholars, so how can there be no backlash to monitor the scholars?
So Gan Qi had to fool Sima Guang, hinting that Sima Guang was His Majesty's intention, and let Sima Guang share the emperor's worries. also let Sima Guangming know that the emperor was unwilling to show this matter on the surface, the emperor had difficulties, and he had to be a loyal minister Sima Guang to do it for him.
This method, Gan Qi is thousands of miles away, just waiting for Sima Guang to help him charge in the future, conservatives are not all enemies, and sometimes they can become friends. This Yushitai is used to fight mouth cannons every day, which is too wasteful.
Sima Guang thought about it for a while, and with a clenched fist, he was ready for battle, nodded and replied: "Xianggong, this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, I, Sima Guang, have always been selfless, and never dared to bend the law for personal gain, and it is my duty to supervise hundreds of officials." Today, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are not uncommon, and from time to time they also provoke civil uprisings. Xiang Gong has already said this, and as a royal historian, it is even more of a responsibility. ”
Gan Qi nodded: "The two governments and three divisions, the two courts of Taiwan and Taiwan, are not subordinate to each other. Yushitai supervises hundreds of officials, up to the prime minister, down to the state and county, are all duties, if one day to monitor the prime minister, the prime minister has no complaints, Zhongcheng just do it, this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, the prime minister is above this matter, it must be your solid backing. ”
Sima Guang was moved when he heard this, not because Gan Qi said that he had a solid backing, but because Gan Qi said that even if he was monitored one day, he would have no complaints. When the prime minister has reached this point, how can the conservative Sima Guang not be moved? This is what the sage said, and the way of a gentleman.
Sima Guang bowed: "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter!" ”
Gan Qi chatted with Sima Guang a few more times, encouraged countless times, and sent Sima Guang out with a smile.
Looking at Sima Guang's battle-ready back, Gan Qi stroked the short beard under his chin and smiled slowly......
The art of struggle, that's how interesting it is. Sima Guang is a good person, and he must be easy to use.
