Chapter 533: Whose Officials Are You?
Hearing Zhao Zhen's question, the ministers woke up suddenly, and the dare to love the family had long been in the net, so they got off the trap and waited for them to drill into it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
First, he severely punished the eunuchs who were imprisoned, and then handed over the ordnance prison to the Privy Council, which seemed to feed the civil officials a big sweet date, but in fact, they wanted to take away the right to issue paper money.
Compared with the ordnance manufacturing of a million profits, the issuance of paper money, that is no profit!
Several ministers present were all unwilling to back down, but no one dared to jump out directly, Zhao Zhen's attitude surprised everyone, and Wang Ningan was eyeing him again, they had suffered too much, and if they continued to fight, the chances of winning were slim.
But it doesn't work out if you don't fight.
Don't look at them as high-ranking ministers, but they are not the masters of the civil official group, to put it in layman's terms, they are high-level workers, and they must fight for the interests of the civil official group, and they must not betray the people behind them, otherwise their fate will be extremely miserable. These people have an account in their hearts.
Stretch out your head and shrink your head with a knife.
No one can run!
Among the many characters, Jia Changchao is the most shameless, he carefully calculated, Zhao Zhen first threw out the slaves and maids who were the craftsmen as prisoners, in order to establish authority, and agreed to set up an arms prison, which was for sweet dates to eat, one soft and one hard, two lines were drawn, and it was clear that if you were honest and obedient, you would have candy to eat, and if you were not honest, you would be beaten by the board, or even by the knife!
After so many years, Jia Changchao is no longer so sure, and the so-called ancestral system of not killing scholars and doctors is not reliable.
At the beginning, Ouyang Xiu threatened to get dozens of people to assassinate him, it was not just a joke......
Thinking of this, Jia Changchao lowered his eyelids and simply pretended to be his grandson, he didn't want to provoke Wang Ning'an anymore, not to mention that he and Ouyang Xiu stood together and published those two books together, in Shilin, his reputation was already discredited, even if it was bad, what could he do!
Jia Changchao turned off, Wen Yanbo's eyes rolled, if Zhao Zhen's attitude was ambiguous, he could still fight, but the emperor had already made it clear that the carriage and horse cannon, and Wen Yanbo didn't want to hit the muzzle.
However, the old guy did not change his lack of morality, he hurriedly said: "Jiaozi is responsible for the third division, not long ago Bao Xianggong was sick and on leave, and the third division is supported by Han Xianggong, I don't know what Han Xianggong thinks?" ”
The ball was kicked to Han Qi, and Han Qi gritted his teeth!
You two bastards, don't fight with Wang Ning'an, push the old man to die, it's really not a son of man!
Han Qi was so powerful, he turned his mind a little, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Supervision has just been established, and the Royal Bank is going to be arranged to be responsible for the procurement bidding, and the old minister thinks it is very appropriate, so should we supervise each other!" If you are not careful, it will cause a big loophole, harm the common people, and threaten the stability of the society. The old minister thought that personnel should be arranged, and the operation of the subordinate affairs should also be supervised. ”
Han Qi smiled and turned to Wang Ning'an, "Xianggong Wang, the old man is not targeting you, but the rules of the court, don't give up easily." ”
"That's what Han Xianggong said."
Wang Ningan said with a smile: "I also have this intention, in the future, the issuance of banknotes should be calculated by the three divisions, and the total amount will be handed over to the Royal Bank, and we will divide it into batches according to the situation." The whole process is supervised by the three divisions, Han Xianggong, what do you think? ”
"That's the best!"
Of course, Han Qi couldn't say anything, and Wang Ningan agreed thoroughly.
It's just that Han Qi knows in his heart that he is doing things in the third division, which seems to be in line with the rules, but in fact, he fills his own pockets and harms the public and private interests, and he has done too many things like this.
The operation of the Royal Bank, how can outsiders peep and understand, as long as the affairs of the children are handed over to the Royal Bank, I am afraid that Wang Ningan will be given another golden rooster who lays eggs!
In the past few years, the Royal Bank was only managing Zhao Zhen's finances at first.
As a result, Wang Ningan made it bigger and bigger, and saw that the actual power was above the three divisions, and if it continued like this, the political hall would be hollowed out.
If you don't stop it, you really don't have a chance.
Han Qi thought of this, and asked: "Wang Xianggong, what are you going to do when you return Jiaoziwu to the Royal Bank?" Isn't it for the sake of the Seedlings Money Loan? ”
Wang Ningan smiled calmly, "Han Xianggong is very knowledgeable, the livelihood of the people in the northwest is difficult, and the issuance of the Qingmiao Law is to relieve the suffering of the people and enrich the country, and the imperial council has already passed it, so what's wrong?" ”
Han Qi said with a smile: "What Wang Xianggong said is very true, but the Qingmiao Law has been implemented for some days, and there have been a lot of errands, Wang Xianggong, don't you know?" Han Qi glanced at Wang Gongchen and said with a smile: "Wang Shuxiang, I heard that you got a lot of news!" ”
The ball was kicked to Wang Gongchen, who coughed twice.
To tell the truth, Wang Gongchen doesn't want to be a bird, but the problem is that the Wang family is a super large family, with many people and countless acres of land.
……
"Your Majesty, I think that the original intention of the Qingmiao Law may be good, but it has been implemented, and it has been riddled with ills, and it should be stopped immediately."
Zhao Zhen didn't have too many surprises, in fact, he had long known that the ministers were going to make a collective attack, and because of this, he took the lead and threw out the matter of the craftsman as a supervisor and the handover of children.
The fight between kings and ministers is very much like a wrestling match.
Objectively speaking, the two sides are evenly matched, not much different, often the decisive victory is in an instant, and the real fatal thing is the situation.
Zhao Zhen had already grasped the overall situation, and he simply let these people speak openly, so as to thoroughly implement the Qingmiao Law.
"Wang Xianggong, tell me everything, what are the drawbacks?"
"Yes." Wang Gongchen stabilized his mind and said: "The Qingmiao Law was originally to lend money to poor households and let them tide over the difficulties, but Wang Xianggong's actions in Qinfeng Road seriously distorted the original intent of the Qingmiao Law...... borrowing money to build roads, build canals, and ...... markets Are these all things that the BIBS method should do? Where is the local yamen? Is it necessary to abolish the yamen, and in the future, just having a royal bank is enough? The old minister thinks that Wang Xianggong's actions are to disrupt the government with business, buy people's hearts, and be vicious with his intentions, so he must be investigated! ”
As soon as Wang Gongchen came up, he fired the cannon, and Wang Ningan was surprisingly calm.
"Wang Shuxiang, is that all? Do you have no opinion on Yongxing Military Road and Master Wang's approach? ”
"Yes, bigger!"
Speaking of which, Wang Ning'an's implementation of the Qingmiao Law through the bank is at least voluntary, but Wang Anshi, he relies on the Yamen to push it, and there are naturally more problems, even countless!
"Your Majesty, Wang Anshi's implementation of the Qingmiao Law, you need ten people to protect one person before you can borrow, just ask, the upper class households do not need to borrow at all, and the lower class households borrow money and are unable to repay. Whenever it is urged, it will fall on the ten people who are the guarantors. If this continues, won't it force the upper class to become the inferior? There is also Wang Anshi's stipulation of half a year's interest of two cents, because the set is too low, some idle people in the people, do not do anything to produce, concentrate on borrowing money to live, breeding idle people, diligent and honest people see it, but also compete to borrow, so that the people's hearts fluctuate, the place is uneasy...... In addition, the local officials forcibly apportioned the money and forced the people to borrow, all kinds of actions are enough to prove that the Qingmiao Law is a bad law and must be abolished immediately, so as not to bring disaster to the country and the people! ”
After Wang Gongchen finished speaking, Han Qi finally didn't pull his hind legs, but echoed: "The minister thinks that what Wang Xianggong said is not unreasonable, and the Qingmiao Law should be abolished,"
"The minister seconded Han Xianggong, and the Qingmiao Law is debatable."
"The minister also seconded the proposal, and it seems that it should be reweighed."
Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao followed up, but their words were more euphemistic than the other, which made Wang Gongchen vomit blood, you two shameless, didn't you say that you would advance and retreat together, why did you get cowardly at the critical moment, you really damn it!
Zhao Zhen listened to the words of several ministers and looked at Wang Ning'an.
"Wang Qing, what did you say?"
Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it has been less than half a year since the imperial court promulgated the Qingmiao Law, and the money lent out has not been recovered. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "Wang Qing's financial management ability is unparalleled in the world, and I will listen to you." ”
"Your Majesty, just now Wang Shuxiang said that the interest rate of two cents is too low, yes, the folk donkey rolls, and the money of the seal is indeed several times the interest of the seedling money, I want to ask Wang Shuxiang, do you know how much the interest of the two cents is?"
Wang Gongchen was a little stunned, "Two points is two points, what do you say!" ”
"Two cents of interest, settled four times, and doubled. If it is settled once every six months, that is, if you borrow 10 yuan this year, two years later, you will have to repay 20 yuan and 736 yuan, which is more than doubled. ”
Wang Ningan said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, can one acre of land double the yield in two years?" What kind of business can you make more money than lending in this world? ”
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
If the interest rate is higher and the settlement cycle is shorter, doesn't it mean that in a year and a half, it will be changed to several times the cost?
No wonder so many ordinary people are forced to go bankrupt by interest, and even flee for their lives.
Zhao Zhen's face finally changed.
"Wang Qing, the interest rate is too high, it is indeed a harmful move to the people, you should play to me as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, one of the functions of the Royal Bank is to set the benchmark interest. In recent years, Kaifeng, there are still many cities, places where industry and commerce are prosperous, and the interest has indeed been suppressed. As a result, the economy prospered, the people were abundant, the imperial court revenue increased, and the treasury revenue continued to rise. But ......"
Wang Ningan said angrily: "In rural areas, especially in remote areas, the imperial court cannot issue decrees, let alone the guidance of the Royal Bank. Ordinary people, in their lifetimes, rarely leave the countryside, at most they go back and forth between the county seat and the village, and the sky above their heads is the county government and the local gentry. ”
"The minister doesn't know if the Qingmiao Law will bring many drawbacks, but the minister knows one thing, the Qingmiao Law gives ordinary people another choice, whether it is to borrow from the bank or from the yamen, in short, there is no need to beg for the gentry's gifts!" After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he smiled at Wang Gongchen.
"Prime Minister Wang, as well as the ministers, do you think that the gentry earn high interest and force the people to die, but right? Whose officials are you? ”
Boom, thunder!
Wang Gongchen's face was blue and purple, his lips trembled, and he could only cry aggrievedly: "The old minister is dedicated to the court, and he can learn from it every day!" ”
