Chapter 263: Map Cannon
Regarding the jurisdiction of the experimental force, that is an internal matter of the Privy Council, and at the same time, because of the relationship between iron materials, there are many follow-up matters that need to be dealt with, these are all internal matters of the Privy Council, although there is no explicit face, driving people away, but after the understatement is pointed out, no one is stupid.
In the middle, Ye Qingchen was not driven away, he really had something, after leaving the Privy Council, he immediately rushed back to the Third Division, and the agreement between the Privy Council and the Privy Council needed to be determined, in the name of the Third Division and the Privy Council, and strive to implement the saved funds.
This is an important project, but although the previous verbal agreement was oral, it was decided by him and most of the privy envoys of the Privy Council, whether it was the identity of the Minister of Finance or the status issue, there was no reason to tear it up, the reason why he was in such a hurry, more, was that Ye Qingchen suddenly had an idea on the road.
This idea is also an accidental idea, and the idea of how to make this iron order work better or bigger.
A Privy Council is the largest unit of demand for iron, but it is not all, or even a very small part of the whole, the development of the Northern Song Dynasty in all aspects is very large, and there are quite a lot of places with iron, from the perspective of the entire political arena, it will be more than the Privy Council.
This part of the iron material, Ye Qingchen did not expect before, that is, after walking out of the Privy Council, he realized that there is such a possibility.
This possibility, to eat, is not easy, these are different from the Privy Council, these iron materials are more widely distributed, not only all over the political departments of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also all over the state capitals, the work that needs to be done, far more than the Privy Council.
Ye Qingchen is full of energy, he just wants to squeeze some of them out.
After becoming the third envoy, the most important thing is to make money, money has almost become the meaning of Ye Qingchen's existence, and it is easy to find a project that may greatly save money, which is different from the previous integration, it is a foundation, involving a large project in every field of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
Different from before, starting from all aspects of the link, reducing consumption, reducing corruption, and increasing income, the funds that can be squeezed out are sometimes a lot busy, and in the end it is only a few hundred or thousands of dollars.
For ordinary people, this amount of money is still a lot, but at the level of the Northern Song Dynasty, this is only a meager income.
It's not that it can't be squeezed out, the key is that this squeezing out is the gray area of the officials, which is also the fundamental reason why Ye Qingchen was angry and resentful before.
Now, the same stretch goes to the gray area, but instead of squeezing those corners, it goes straight to the core, although it will still blow up people on their backs, but the end result of this approach is that it is much more convenient and fast, and each field is a lot of benefits.
Even the scraps of Jia Chaochang's meddling have been blown up, and others are even more so, as long as they take out the name of righteousness, everything else is a trivial matter.
Ye Qingchen thought more basic before, but as the third envoy, he only needs to grasp the general direction, and in terms of details, someone will naturally improve it.
The direction of the distribution of these iron materials is mainly the Ministry of Industry, water conservancy, agriculture and many other mouths, which are very scattered, but Ye Qingchen's motivation is very high, and he wants to develop the use of this iron material to the extreme under this premise.
Ye Qingchen is like this, everything is out of financial considerations, and some other things are not in the scope of his consideration at all.
The first thing to determine is the quantity, even Ye Qingchen, who is the third envoy, cannot know the entire Northern Song Dynasty political arena, all the places that need iron materials, which needs to be found, and this quantity is a prerequisite, and a rough number is calculated on this basis.
But this is all over the court, and the consumption in various places is not an ordinary cumbersome, the staff and subordinate officials below have suffered a lot now, and they were suddenly called by Ye Qingchen.
Although the three divisions are somewhat convenient in this regard, it is impossible to extend their tentacles to every area of the court, and even some places must be avoided.
Under such a premise, the third division still got enough data, and when all the data were gathered together and brought to Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen found that he had underestimated the total consumption of iron materials in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
In itself, Ye Qingchen just thought that on the basis of the Privy Council, increase it by half, and the data saved by the Privy Council has finally been determined, and it may be between 4 million and 5 million yuan a year, in the middle, there will be some fluctuations, and some of the money saved may be used, or the previous gap and deficit.
However, on the basis of 4 million, an additional 6 million will be added, and there will be no deficit in the current finances of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and there will even be a surplus, which is what Ye Qingchen is looking forward to.
At the same time, the current financial plate of the Northern Song Dynasty is huge, as long as it leaks a little, the annual savings may be several million, and when these funds are concentrated, they can show a greater effect.
For example, some water conservancy projects in the north, as well as large-scale projects promoted by the government, seem to have huge investment, but in fact, they are projects that are of great help to people's livelihood and disaster reduction, which is fundamentally increasing the heritage of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
This is the career of the three envoys for several years, and what is summed up, why Chengdu is the country of abundance, geographical advantage is only one aspect, but the existence of Dujiangyan, the millennium is still running well is the key.
Unfortunately, in the past few years, he has seen this truth, but there is no way to implement it, the reason is that there is no money.
From the time he entered Renzong's eyes, he relied on the ability to squeeze out money, but now the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is better under his move, still has a huge deficit.
Now, an iron business, almost turned it all around, how not to let him rejoice.
One report after another, involving many fields, and even some estimated amounts, it is impossible for the three divisions to reach into too many fields, but they can estimate some data through some channels or hearsay, and these data appear in front of Ye Qingchen in a tower, and the number is extremely amazing.
Ye Qingchen found out that he underestimated the iron material a little, the Privy Council 60 million catties is just a foundation, and it is the place with the largest iron material in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it does not mean that this is all, the entire government, the consumption of iron materials in various fields is as high as 170 million catties, plus the military's 60 million, which is almost a total of 230 million.
In Ye Qingchen's view, these are all money, if each of the 170 million catties of iron is reduced by 45 Wen, what kind of concept is this, and the balance may be as high as more than 7 million.
According to the report, Ye Qingchen estimates that even if there will be a virtual head, there will not be a lot, and this total amount represents a lot of things.
But Ye Qingchen is still hesitating at this moment, it was originally a style of seeing money, but he hesitated in the face of the volume of millions or even tens of millions of guan every year.
That's right, Ye Qingchen really hesitated, but he didn't hesitate for long, didn't he just go against all the people in the entire court? He wasn't afraid.
Ye Qingchen, who had long been driven crazy by money, didn't care about the consequences at all, and after a little hesitation, he began to draw up plans one by one, not to mention that other institutions raised their own funds, as long as the three divisions allocated funds, the three divisions could influence, all of them were listed, and all of them were directly and indirectly included in the fields, and these fields were all included.
For Ye Qingchen, this is not an order, this is money, this is money that can be saved.
From the beginning of serving as the third envoy, Ye Qingchen has formed an indissoluble bond with dozens, hundreds, others only see that before he served as the third envoy, with the help of saving 4 million yuan in recent years, he successfully sat in this position, but no one saw his efforts, one was on par with the governor, and even in terms of importance, the three envoys were one level higher than the general governor.
Because he is the minister of finance, he controls the financial power of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
Money and power, the two most important directions, the power he contains, is far higher than many people imagine, a can't control power and finance, no need to be underneath, he doesn't have any prestige.
A person who controls the entire Northern Song Dynasty, with an annual income of 20 million yuan, and a huge amount of money in appropriations and daily investment, how many fields will he be involved in and how many people he will affect, such a third envoy, even if he does not have the title of participating in political affairs, he is not inferior to participating in political affairs, not to mention that he is also valued by Renzong.
But who knows how much effort Ye Qingchen has put in for such a small balance, and sometimes, he will compete for dozens or even hundreds of dollars, quarrel and discuss with some departments, and finally complete the savings.
But now, the investment of the Privy Council in just 2 months is 560,000 guan, and the prospect may exceed 10 million guan in the whole year, even Ye Qingchen can't sit still, he must include this fund in his jurisdiction.
After determining the amount of about 110 million, even if it is the least, it can save 3 million, Ye Qingchen began to sit still, and in the name of the three divisions, began to make mandatory representations to various departments.
This is like a bomb, completely detonating the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ye Qingchen has also done this before, but at that time, it was aimed at a certain department, or some officials, and now, like a map cannon, indiscriminately attacking outward.
Whether it is Ye Qingchen's location or the field he is impacting, it is the most important, Ye Qingchen holds the banner of price, and when the autumn wind begins to sweep away the leaves, the whole court is lively.
