Chapter 297: The Era of National Retreat and Democratic Advancement
In the study of Jiafu, Liao Yingzhong said sadly: "Pingzhang is deeply favored, why not be afraid of rumors?!" ”
This is a big truth.
Five years after Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, ascended the throne, Jia Rudao was attacked by some forces, and he was a little disheartened at that time, so he said in front of the official family that he was old and needed to return to his hometown to be blessed.
He was not a poor person in the first place, and Da Song treated retired officials very well.
Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, was a little panicked, so he immediately issued an order to allow Jia Rudao to go to the court only once on the sixth day, and he didn't need to salute like a hundred officials, and later it reached the frequency of going to the court once in ten days------ of course, not having to go to the early dynasty is a courtesy for every prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but Jia Pingzhang's time interval is the longest, and he can always work in Jiafu.
Just two years ago, during a large-scale sacrifice, it was raining heavily, and Hu Guifei, the beloved concubine of Zhao Yu, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, was afraid of getting cold, so he asked his father to propose to the official family to return to the palace early------ Zhao Yu of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty felt sorry for his concubine, so he agreed.
This move made Jia Rudao dissatisfied, which was obviously pampered and coquettish!
At that time, all the ministers were on the scene------ how could a noble concubine return to the palace halfway to avoid the rain!
He asked the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Yu in front of everyone to make Hu Guifei think about it in the imperial nunnery------ Zhao Yu of the Great Song Dynasty official family just showed a trace of reluctance, Jia Rudao was furious, and he was about to leave the official and return home------ an official family who regarded the concubine as more important than the minister, what could be nostalgic?!
Later, Empress Dowager Xie woke up Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end he obeyed Jia Rudao's words, and he himself begged his Jia Shichen to stay, for fear that he would really leave.
Even during the period, he was afraid that he would leave Jiafu and return to his hometown, so he sent Fa Ke to lead the Imperial Fire Gun Army to surround Jiafu------ which can be regarded as a kind of protective retention.
The importance of his holy favor can be seen.
Jia Rudao shook his head and said: "The official family has been in poor health recently, and they can't cure it by looking for famous doctors all over ------the world."
Liao Yingzhong immediately understood the deep meaning behind these words.
Zhao Yu, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, was originally at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but in recent years, his health has been sick------ if something unexpected happens, then his throne can only be inherited from one of his three children who are less than ten years old!
Then next, it will naturally be that Mrs. Xie will listen to politics later------ last time, she rejected the request of the ministers to ask her to listen to politics on the grounds that Zhao Yu is an adult------ but this time, she is bound to listen to politics, and she can't refuse at all!
Empress Dowager Xie is a sensible and reasonable person, and it is impossible to mess with the government, but it is difficult to say about the rest of the Xie family------ this time among the forces that smear Jia Yidao, it seems that there are people from the Xie family involved.
Liao Yingzhong lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said, "------ wait for it." ”
Jia Rudao nodded wordlessly, he had already thought of this.
He now had to prepare to separate part of the government-run cable telegraph business and let the Xie family run it.
The cable telegraph industry is now the most prosperous business in the Great Song market.
When it first appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone did not think about its role, and its initial investment was not small, not only in terms of financial resources, but also in terms of technology.
However, as time went on, the cable telegraph was fully rolled out in several important cities and nodes------ its usefulness was revealed, especially in the transmission of commercial information.
The Great Song Dynasty government was originally going to use it for government affairs and military affairs, but it was impossible to use the cable telegraph all the time------ where were there so many government and military activities?!
The rest of the time was also accepted at the request of the merchant public.
At the beginning, in order to limit the abuse of the people, the Great Song Dynasty government stipulated that the number of words was charged, and one word per penny, but it was soon found that the people did not take things seriously, and there were often a large number of people waiting in line to send the newspaper, and the dispatchers and receivers were miserable, and even missed their own work.
The Great Song Dynasty government had to raise the price, ten words during the day, and one word for one hundred at night!
The dispatcher and the receiver were suddenly relieved------ there was no more to send reports, and the people or businessmen had to spare words like gold, unless it was an urgent matter, a trivial matter of the general people, and it was not bad for time, so it was better to ask someone to pass the word.
The relevant departments of the Great Song Dynasty government found that the cable telegraph turned out to be a very profitable business, and the year-end inventory was very rewarding!
The relevant departments of the Great Song Dynasty government will not understand, but the owner of Zhang Island, who is far away on Liuqiu Island, really understands that the society of the Great Song Dynasty is a commercial society that has never been seen before and after hundreds of years------------ although it is only 1276, the Great Song Dynasty society is far more commercial than the society after 700 years, and the people are more free.
Money is moving!
At that time, there was a rumor that the government was in charge of the cable and telegraph industry, and this was a competition for profit with the people!
At that time, Jia Rudao Jia Pingzhang sneered after hearing this.
Some people just have to look at Shu, and now they have entered an era of national retreat and democratic advancement------ except for tea, the salt and iron industry has been completely liberalized, and it is allowed to be operated by the people.
As early as eight years ago, the Great Song Dynasty government abolished the official village and changed it to a tenant system, allowing the people to contract, and the more work is more, less work is less, and no work is enough.
They took 1,200 mu or 100 mu as a unit, recruited the tenant to contract first, and then the tenant divided the tenant to the tenant household, and the tenant replaced the original duties of the Zhuang official------ and the official land of the Great Song Dynasty increased year by year.
The cable telegraph, which was originally a sharp tool for government management, was also allowed to be used by the people------ how can this be regarded as a profit for the people?!
But------
Permitting private operations is not necessarily a bad thing.
Jia Pingzhang couldn't help but laugh again when he thought of this------ since he allowed the people to operate salt and iron, just talk about the salt, there has never been a salt shortage, not to mention that the price of salt is getting lower and lower, and the taste of salt is getting more and more salty!
He was worried that there would be private salt merchants taking the opportunity to hoard salt and raise the price, but it has never happened------ except for Liuqiu refined salt, the so-called Liuqiu sea salt is no longer a good salt in the Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that the price will be reduced from time to time to sell.
As for pig iron, it's huge.
Jia Rudao Jia Pingzhang thought of this at that time, he didn't quite understand, why did the so-called Zhang Island Master keep saying in the "Liuqiu Times" that the per capita on Liuqiu Island must have more than 2,000 catties of steel------ what is the use of the people asking for those steel? ?
Of course, these have nothing to do with him------ he thinks that he can separate some of the government-run cable and telegraph industry and hand it over to the private sector------ but there is a way to distribute it to whom.
Jia seems to say that Jia Pingzhang's original intention is not to share it with those business giants or big families, he wants to cultivate some emerging businessmen, and if he wants to listen to his own words------ he has to choose well.
However, in the current situation, it seems unlikely, and he doesn't have that time now.
Some members of the Xie family had already approached him, hinting that they wanted to run a cable telegraph business.
He didn't take it seriously at first, and he passed the buck after a haha, and now, he has to take it seriously.
So, he ordered Liao Yingzhong to go to the other party in private, hinting that they could discuss everything and give a live word.
But when Liao Yingzhong came back to pass the word, it made Jia Yidao angry and exploded his lungs!
They even want a few of my government-run boat yards!!
