"Ying Xianggong, a rare guest." Xu Wei stepped into the office hall with a smile on his face and said to Zhao Kai, the Sichuan capital transfer envoy sitting inside. It is no wonder that Zijin Tiger is so happy, Zhao Zhuan tried out the liquor method in Chengdu, and this year alone, the income increased by more than 400,000 yuan. His new law, in fact, is very simple, abolishing the "supply of wine" system, which means that in the future, wine will not be monopolized by the government. The government only took care of the sake tanks that had been installed in various places, and all the sake brewing equipment and koji were purchased at the government's expense. Then, the people voluntarily took the rice to the vat to brew it. Pay 3,000 yuan for one stone of rice, there is no limit, and you can brew as much as you want.

The success of the new liquor method in Chengdu made Xu Wei ready to promote it throughout Sichuan, followed by Shaanxi. Therefore, in his eyes, Zhao Kai now seems to be the God of Wealth.

"Xuanfu Xianggong." Zhao Kai stood up and saluted, "Where is the lower official?" ”

"I wanted to invite you to Xingyuan several times, but you said you were busy, what kind of wind blew you here today?" Xu Wei laughed and sat down next to him.

Zhao Kai sighed before he spoke, and when Xu Wei saw him like this, he asked, "What?" What difficulties did you encounter? Just say it! "As long as you can give me money without increasing the burden on the people, nothing is a problem!

"Xianggong, Xia Guan has submitted two consecutive documents to Xuanfu Disposal Division, asking for instructions on whether to promote the liquor law throughout Sichuan from the second half of this year, why has there been no follow-up so far? It should be known that although this is an item, it takes two or three months to prepare for it in order to promote it throughout Sichuan. This can't be delayed! Zhao Kai said seriously.

Xu Wei frowned, recalled slightly, and questioned: "Isn't it?" I've already approved your request, and only once, right? Where did you get it twice? ”

Zhao Kai was also puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Xia Guan did ask for instructions twice, but he didn't get the approval!" Isn't it ......"

Xu Wei thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, it's probably because the people below have made mistakes, I'll call Deyuan to ask." After that, he sent someone to invite Zhang Jun to come.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Wei asked: "Ying Xianggong, after the promotion of this wine method in Sichuan, according to your estimates, how much can the wine class collect every year?" ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Kai replied solemnly: "According to the expectations of the lower officials, it should be around five or seven million. ”

The smile on Xu Wei's face bloomed again, even if the lowest value is calculated, the Sichuan wine class can increase by nearly two million, which is a very gratifying number! Wang Shu's recommendation before going to work was really not wrong, Zhao Kai is indeed good at financial management!

After a few words of praise, Xu Wei asked again: "When I asked you, you said that the people of Sichuan are hard and can't be endowed, only some public utilities in the past still have a way." Now that the liquor law is ready to be promoted, I wonder if you have any ideas for the future? ”

Zhao Kai didn't answer immediately when he heard him ask, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I have an idea, but there is a sentence that the lower official has to say." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xu Wei encouraged.

"It is impossible to take care of everyone's interests. Take the wine law as an example, although it did not increase the burden on the people, but it did damage the good things of some people, and it was impossible for people not to speak. Zhao Kai said implicitly.

Xu Wei smiled: "I understand what you mean, in the past, the wine was monopolized by the government, and the profit was not to be said." But whether it is an official or a businessman, many people take this opportunity to hold their pockets full. Now that you have changed, the government has stopped producing alcohol, and it has cut off the financial route of some people, and these people are complaining now, right? ”

Zhao Kai nodded.

"Don't worry, no matter who it is, what you say or do, don't take it to heart. Just remember one thing, the Xuanfu Disposal Division supports you, and I, Xu, support you. Xu Wei said.

Zhao Kai sighed again and said, "Thank you for your trust." ”

Xu Wei saw that he didn't seem to be relieved, and was about to say a few more words, but saw that Zhang Jun had already stepped into the threshold. first saluted Xu Wei, and then greeted Zhao Kai, and then said, "What is the matter with the minister summoning the officials?" ”

"Deyuan, the Sichuan Transshipment Division has two submissions?" Xu Wei asked.

Zhang Jun glanced at Zhao Kai and confessed: "There is." ”

"It's weird, I remember the first time I received it, I approved it. Why is there a second time? Furthermore, the Sichuan Transshipment Division did not receive a reply. The official documents in Sichuan are generally handled by you, what's the matter, is it the following people who have missed it? Xu Wei asked.

Zhang Jun suddenly looked embarrassed, and said: "This matter, it seems that it is possible for the lower officials, or the lower officials will ask ......."

Seeing this, Xu Wei was even more suspicious in his heart, thought about it, and said to Zhao Kai: "Zhao Zhuan, in this way, you can't leave today, go to the pavilion to stay first, and come to see me early tomorrow morning, how about it?" ”

Zhao Kai was obviously also sensible, and immediately got up and said, "Then the lower official will leave first." After finishing speaking, he said hello to Zhang Jun again and left the office hall.

As soon as he left, Xu Wei asked, "Deyuan, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Jun also sighed before he spoke, and said honestly: "Xuanfu Xianggong, in fact, the Sichuan Transshipment Department submitted the document for the first time, and after the Xianggong approved it, the lower officials were ready to send it back." But ......"

"If you have something to say, you can say it directly, you are all the directors of the Xuanfu Division, is it possible that you still have any scruples?" Xu Wei urged.

"But Judge Wan Qi said that there is no hurry for the time being." Zhang Jun held back for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence.

"What?" Xu Wei's face changed! "Not in a hurry? How is this possible without urgency? Where is the money not needed now? Although there is no big war, there are constant conflicts on the border, military spending is not small, and the reconstruction of Shaanxi also requires money, so why not be in a hurry? ”

"Anger at the mercy of the public." Zhang Jun said, "Judge Wan Qian's consideration is that this reform decree needs to be cautious, although the new liquor law has been tried in Chengdu for a period of time, it may not be the time to promote it throughout Sichuan." After all, the situation is different everywhere. ”

Xu Wei became more and more dissatisfied: "I said Deyuan, you should have asked him at that time." He has only been in Sichuan for a few days? Is it he who understands the situation in Sichuan, or Zhao Kai, who has been in Sichuan for many years? ”

"Xiaguan said this at the time." Zhang Jun had a bitter face. "But Judge Wan Qi insisted on his opinion, he was a judge who was announced, and the lower judge was just a senator, how to argue with him? Besides, if he doesn't agree, he's ......."

Xu Wei sighed impatiently, Wan Qian came to Sichuan, not just to be a senior staff. He also has a special power, that is, the affairs of Sichuan, it doesn't matter what Xu Wei said, any decree needs to be signed by Wan Qian before it can take effect. This clearly restricts Xu Wei's power in Sichuan, and does not want him to completely control the financial, political, and military power in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Although Wan Qiao, as a staff member, has no actual adjudication power, the hand of "co-signing" does give Xu Wei a headache. (
