Chapter 772: Fu Bi's Letter
Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty is still so lively, under the promotion of the Dinghai Navy, the Northern Song Dynasty built a lot of factories, a large part of which are in Bianliang, these factories have promoted the growth of the Northern Song Dynasty's financial revenue, and also promoted the prosperity of the people.
If the money is quantitative, then a little more here will be used, and a little less will be used there, but if this money is not quantitative, if there is growth, after the sufficient funds for living are fixed, the continuous increase in income will inevitably make the standard of living rise.
In the words of later generations, that is, the purchasing power has increased, and the purchasing power at the bottom may not represent all, but under a series of influences, the business of the Northern Song Dynasty has become better, and the business of all walks of life has also prospered a lot.
Dongfu, Dongfu at this time, this is a real, large-scale office area, almost every office is crowded with people, just this year, Dongfu has temporarily set up 4 temporary committees, specializing in a certain field of work, all aspects of the Northern Song Dynasty have improved, but all aspects of things have begun to increase a lot.
It turned out that as an honorary governor, they are now also in charge of actual work, and each person is in charge of a field, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in their importance, which also makes the Northern Song Dynasty more acute to ease the contradictions.
During the reign of Renzong, there was a very interesting thing, except for the early days, when the Queen Mother listened to the government, after Renzong was in power, most of the time, the prime minister was changed.
There are very few who sit firmly for three years, and in the decades of Renzong's reign, there have been twenty or thirty prime ministers, and among them, there are even many who are not nominal, but real prime ministers.
This kind of replacement has allowed Renzong Dynasty to have a glamorous team of prime ministers, these high-ranking officials who have been prime ministers, as governors of political affairs, have the right to know a state, which can be regarded as a suppressive place.
However, there is a bad problem because of this, that is, the position of prime minister, at most three years, if you still can't get attached to it, then someone will inevitably attack.
Those who are a little wiser, after being reminded, will take the initiative to seek decentralization, and Renzong will also symbolically retain him and put him in place.
But if the prime minister is greedy for power and doesn't want to retreat, then something will happen, the most distinct thing is that the emperor has been blessed for three years, Wen Yanbo can't go, and then there is a big move by the imperial history to impeach Wen Yanbo and Zhang Guifei implicated, the truth of this matter has been buried in history, but Zhang Guifei at that time, but he was deeply favored by Renzong, and even died because he was young, and was posthumously named the queen, which is also unprecedented in the history of Renzong.
Wen Yanbo still retreated to make room for others, but the resulting turmoil in the government and the opposition made the Renzong Dynasty chaotic for a long time.
This is more or less, but also because, Renzong Dynasty, there are too many outstanding personnel, open the list of prime ministers of Renzong, as many as 21, maybe there are seven or eight well-known, but each of them can do the first assistant, it is not simple, if you add the privy envoy, the three envoys, it will be more, some of them have done this, but they have not achieved the position of prime minister, as for participating in political affairs, it is more.
The prime minister, the privy envoy, and the three envoys, this is the troika above the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, they are not only in status, but also the highest in participating in political affairs, and even in terms of power, they are also very large.
Among them, the prime minister has the highest status, of course, in the Northern Song Dynasty of this era, there is no title of prime minister and prime minister, and the actual official position is Zhongshu Shilang, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and Jixian Hall Scholar.
Now, with the development of the Northern Song Dynasty, a lot of temporary departments have been added, for example, the railway department, which has only appeared for a few years, but has become one of the most important departments in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Under the premise of no, or a small amount of decentralization, let everyone have their own share of things, this, more or less, will make the competition for the prime minister less intense.
Of course, Han Qi has only been in the position of prime minister for more than a year, and he has not had time to think about the future after he is done, and he is more about doing things well.
Han Qi has dealt with today's official affairs, and there are a lot of things in all aspects of the Northern Song Dynasty now, as the head of the Eastern Mansion, even if it has gone through layers of assignment and selection, the things in the hands of Han Qi are not ordinary, fortunately, after several years of heavy work, he is relatively familiar with this aspect.
The things that can be taken to Han Qi's side and used to deal with them are basically the subordinate officials who have gone through layers of screening, and finally got to Han Qi here.
This is a change that has only happened in the past few years, and before, as long as it was sent to the eastern part of the capital, no matter what the extent, it almost had to be sent to the prime minister for the purpose.
This is to avoid someone being deceived or abusing power for personal gain, but with the rapid development of the Northern Song Dynasty, new things in all aspects are constantly innovating, if you still follow the previous method to deal with these data of the Eastern Mansion, even if Han Qi is tired to death, 12 hours a day, non-stop dealing with all kinds of similar things, he can't handle it all.
There is no way to divide power, whether it is distributed to the governor or to the people below, only some key points, or through the plan, will be decided by Han Qi, the prime minister, personally.
Recently, the development of the Northern Song Dynasty has accelerated, and the income has increased by more than one percent compared with the previous year, which is quite considerable, and at the same time, because the basic income of the Northern Song Dynasty has increased quite rapidly, this one percent may be half of five or six years ago, even if it was placed three years ago, it was also three percent, and the total number exceeded 10 million.
The benefits of various factories really made Han Qi feel amazed, if such a thing happened four years ago, or five years ago, it would be a great thing for the Northern Song Dynasty, which was thriving and could surpass it at any time.
After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, after the hard work of Zhenzong Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the distance between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State is narrowing, whether it is heavy infantry, or the divine arm crossbow, plus a variety of defense lines, so that the Northern Song Dynasty can stand in front of the Liao State on an equal footing, in the past one or two decades, the Liao State has been ruthless, but has not dared to do anything with the Northern Song Dynasty, which is proof.
If, in a short period of time, the problem of losing money can be solved, the Northern Song Dynasty can really wrestle with the Liao State, especially after taking the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, if there is no fixed navy, conquer the Liao State, let the Northern Song Dynasty develop slowly, step by step to improve their strength, the Northern Song Dynasty defeated the Liao State is only a matter of time.
At this level, it is even possible for the Northern Song Dynasty to surpass the Han and Tang dynasties and become the supreme central dynasty, but unfortunately, this is five years later, in the era when the Dinghai Navy has been wiped out, and these developments of theirs are not enough for him to burst out of hope.
When the Liao State was in the alliance of the Yuanyuan, although it was strong, it was not a dusty person who could not see the back, but the Dinghai, at this moment, to Han Qi and the Northern Song Dynasty government, this is the feeling, the more I understand, the more I feel that the Dinghai is terrible.
The population, economy, military, and even the degree of development were all above the Northern Song Dynasty.
With a sigh, Fu Bi signed the last document, today, he reviewed nearly 10 of them, and signed 4 of them, and the rest, need to be typed back, add some data, before you can sign, this is the rule that has been formed.
Put down the work, look at the time, it is not far from getting off work, Han Qi has no intention of leaving, opens the drawer, and takes out Fu Bi's letter,
The fold has been reviewed by the East and West Mansions, and sent to the palace, and handed over to Renzong for approval, Fu Bi is in it, mainly to apply for the time of Concubine Miao's visit, and there are some details on the matter, for example, Ding Haijun proposed that in order to connect Shenyang and Shanhaiguan, you can apply for building a railway on one side of Shanhaiguan.
These are all things on the surface, and they also represent the results achieved by Fu Bi after he went to Shenyang, and Fu Bi wrote a letter to Han Qi in addition to the twists and turns.
The twists and turns are open, and they can be said, but in the middle of the letter, it is estimated, and in the middle of the letter, Fu Bi is very depressed, especially mentioning what he has seen and heard.
A factory with only 2,000 employees creates a value of more than 20 million guan, which has never been thought of before, and the average annual gross domestic product per person is as high as 10,000 guan.
This may be less than ten times on average in the Northern Song Dynasty, how can the same people, why can people create such a huge value after they reach the Dinghai Navy, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Northern Song Dynasty, which prides itself on being the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, is just a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky?
A farmer, even if he plants 30 acres of land, according to the yield of 2 stones per acre, it is only 60 stones, converted into thousands, and it will not exceed 42 stones, this is the limit number, seeds do not cost money, labor does not cost money, people eat and drink without spending money?
Besides, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, how many people really have 30 acres of land, and these people, and a few of them, are willing to go to the land.
In this way, even if the annual income is 50 guan, compared with 10,000 guan, there is a difference of 200 times, which may be the root of the strength of the Dinghai Navy.
In fact, since the Northern Song Dynasty began to have factories, going to the ground is no longer the best way to make money, according to the statistics of the current factories in the Northern Song Dynasty, the average annual value creation per person is about 400 to 500 yuan, which is much higher than farming, but there is still a huge difference with the Dinghai Navy.
Of course, Fu Bi's trip to the Dinghai this time was not without any gains, but these things could not be determined for the time being, Fu Bi could only communicate with Han Qi through personal letters, and the result of this communication was that he asked Han Qi to try it, assembly line.
In the past few months, many things have finally proved that it is a dead end, and there is no way to go on, but the technology of this assembly line has made Fu Bi figure out something.
A person, if he makes all of a thing, it must be slow, in the middle, every step, cohesion, or chaos, it will affect the next step, but if each item is made to the most refined, then not only the quality of the product is very good, but also the speed is fast, this is probably the root of the strength of the navy.
He is also a practical official, after a brief understanding, he began to try to make something, really, and made something, for example, in the carpentry workshop, choose a wood to make, there are almost four or five, or even seven or eight parts, each person processes each part, and then summarizes.
This, in Dingjun, he just tried it simply, in the embassy, it was just a simple, with the help of a simple manual work, the efficiency was improved very well, and the only way to do it on a larger scale or more proficient was to let Han Qi do it.
Assembly line, division of labor and cooperation, Han Qi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, he seemed to think of something, back then, when he was in the Daimyo's Mansion, Dinghai took over the supply of iron from the Privy Council, and he still contributed, and at that time, he even went to the Daimyo's Mansion once.
In that time, Ding Haijun displayed a lot of treasures, and it seemed that he heard it with an ear and a half ear, among which there seemed to be this division of labor, which was a blacksmith platform at that time, mainly blacksmiths.
At that time, Han Qi didn't pay much attention to craftsmen, and he didn't have a comprehensive understanding at that time, but after knowing a little bit, he didn't deepen it any further, and now after Fu Bi brought it up again, he suddenly seemed to open a dusty memory, it seems that this may be the root of the strength of the Dinghai Navy.
Han Qi made a choice at the first time, recorded everything that Fu Bi summed up, and reproduced them in the Northern Song Dynasty in Bianliang as quickly as possible.
Fu Bi's letter is very long, and the division of labor and cooperation mentioned before is only a part of the front of the whole letter, and there is a follow.
However, after reading Fu Bi's entire letter in a short time, Han Qi's expression was a little strange, and in the large amount of space that followed, the core of what Fu Bi said was a simple purpose, a salary increase.
Promotion and salary increase, for ordinary people, or petty officials and officials, they hope to be promoted and raised, but at the level of Fu Bi, they have to be promoted and raised, and then promoted, there are only three majors, the privy envoy, the prime minister, and the three envoys, these three, which can be given to Fu Bi.
However, after reading it carefully, Han Qi somewhat understood that the high salary of the Dinghai Navy made an ordinary worker in the Dinghai Navy higher than that of an official from the imperial examination, and even affected the mentality of these officials.
Recently, Han Qi has also heard that the low-level officials are complaining that the economic strength of the entire Northern Song Dynasty is good, various industries are relatively prosperous, and while business is doing well, some things are rising in price, and at the same time, things that were not there before are now popping up, and the overall cost is increasing, in the past, an official with a total income of about 100 guan could live well in Bianliang, but now, it seems that there are some difficulties, and there will be famine.
After reading the letter, Han Qi knew it in his heart, and kept Fu Bi's suggestion in mind, now the center of the Northern Song Dynasty is rich, the income has increased, and there is a lot of remaining funds.
