Chapter 265: The Meaning of a Drunkard
"Everyone in the world has money, but I, the emperor, have no money, and they all say that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but apart from this palace, I really don't know what else I have!"
Zhao Zhen sighed again and again, full of complaints, and when he couldn't help it, he ran out of his mouth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After speaking, he knew that he was speechless, shook his head and said: "I am superior to the mandate of heaven, the foundation of the ancestors, Kyushu Wanfang, hundreds of millions of Li people, when the abyss is weak, I should be respectful and self-controlled, otherwise there will be good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom, and I can't be ashamed of the people in the world." ”
A person, especially an emperor, is as simple as eating and sleeping.
But the problem is that when a person has lied for decades, in fact, there is no difference between this lie and the truth, I have to say that Zhao Zhen, the emperor, is rare in the ages.
"Your Majesty, but Weichen has a different opinion."
"Wang Qing often speaks amazingly, you say, I won't blame you."
"Yes." Wang Ningan raised his head, faced Zhao Zhen, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the saint knows that the mission on his shoulders is heavy, he should have the corresponding power in his hands!" This power is not only as simple as rewarding and punishing promotion, but also can mobilize the wealth of society, control the direction of interests, and truly implement policies that benefit the people. ”
Zhao Zhen's face was calm, showing a thoughtful look, "Wang Qing, what you said is specific." ”
"Your Majesty, for example, the previous floods in Hebei, if Your Majesty can mobilize millions of dollars of wealth and get millions of stone of grain, the people of Hebei will be saved immediately, and there will be no subsequent chaos and almost be taken advantage of by the Liao State."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "What Wang Qing said is very true, in the past few decades, I have often closed positions and hoarded a lot of grain in various places, but the country is in a difficult situation, and the imperial court can't come up with much money for a while." ”
"Your Majesty, the problem is here, just relying on the normal tax system, although our dynasty has made great progress compared to the previous dynasties, but the family has a big business, too many expenses, and encounters several difficulties superimposed, so I can't deal with it. Therefore, Weichen means to establish a system outside the system of the imperial court. ”
Zhao Zhen frowned and motioned for Wang Ningan to continue.
"The minister thinks that this system is finance, and it is money." Wang Ningan said: "Most of all the ministers' actions in Ping County were realized by borrowing money from the bank. Taking the development of Lingnan this time as an example, the imperial court had no money, but things could not be left undone, so the minister levied a deposit from everyone and easily got 7 million yuan. Of course, future development projects will not be as big as Lingnan, and the returns will not be so high, and it is very difficult to persuade all parties to invest. However, if you can establish a bank, relying on the attraction of interest-bearing deposits, the bank can absorb a large amount of social wealth, and at this time, as long as you negotiate with the bank, you can borrow a large amount of money to solve the urgent need. Gathering the wealth of all parties and relieving the difficulties of one party is the wonderful use of the money bank. ”
Zhao Zhen listened attentively, and finally showed a smile on his face, the biggest difference between the money village and the imperial court taxation is that the money village pays attention to risks and seeks profits, the people come because of interest, and the money village borrows money because it is profitable. There is no exploitation in the middle, and it will not provoke civil unrest.
"Wang Qing, you really have extraordinary insights, which makes me happy!"
"Thanks to His Majesty's praise, the minister thinks that there is another advantage of the money bank, that is, in the future, large transactions will be carried out in the money bank, just add or subtract from the accounts, and do not need to touch the actual currency, so that a lot of copper coins will be saved, and the money shortage in my dynasty is hopeful!"
"Really?"
Zhao Zhen stood up in surprise and said excitedly: "Wang Qing, since Qian Zhuang is so good, why didn't you suggest it to me earlier?" ”
Wang Ningan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it is not a matter of one or two days to establish a money bank and establish monetary credit...... None of this can be done in a day or two. The minister thought that the development of Lingnan, the copper of Jiaozhi and Dali, and the establishment of a stable supply of copper mines, then the people could believe in the credit of the money and save the money boldly at ease. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "Wang Qing is far-sighted, and he is really thoughtful, so it seems that passing through Lingnan is related to the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, so Weichen dared to suggest that Your Majesty should start to separate the money prison, and then prepare for the establishment of the royal money bank, stipulating that all the large account expenditures of the yamen at all levels must be carried out through the money bank, otherwise it can be regarded as a violation of the rules of greed."
The more Wang Ningan said, the more Zhao Zhen thought about it, and it dawned on him that establishing a financial system is not just a simple solution to the money shortage.
The financial system and the bureaucratic system of the imperial court can also supervise and check each other to prevent corruption.
Wonderful, really wonderful!
"Wang Qing, your idea is really good, when should I start setting up the Royal Bank?" Unconsciously, Zhao Zhen actually asked in a consquiring tone, obviously, he had completely accepted the suggestion.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent, after Weichen immediately went south, he tried to quickly settle the Three Kingdoms, and when he could supply 30 million catties of copper ingots, it would be almost enough. In addition, the money supervisor should also pay attention to the reserve craftsman, who can make at least 8 million copper coins every year, and with this strength, he can afford to play the money village! ”
Wang Ning'an is not here to brag casually, the prince Wang Anshi changed the law, although there are many problems, but there is one point, his old man did solve the money shortage, relying on various efforts, Wang Anshi let the Northern Song Dynasty mint 5 million yuan a year, what kind of concept is this, when the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, the annual coinage was only 300,000 yuan, and the two sides were not an order of magnitude at all.
Wang Ningan estimated that with his tossing ability, he developed Lingnan, expanded the Liao market, and the three kingdoms of Jiaozhi, which was 3 million more per year than the reluctant Xianggong, and should be able to cope with it.
……
When he was leaving, he told Zhao Zhen about this overall plan, which was undoubtedly thoughtful.
Last time, he sent troops to fight his toes and burned down the Thang Long Mansion, which made the whole court boil, but fortunately there was a Li Rizun, so he was able to backhand a few mouths of the civil official.
People can't live by luck, after he goes south, the movement of tossing out will not be small, if you want to be safe and stable, the eight winds will not move, you need the emperor's firm support.
Why does the emperor support you? Even at the expense of offending all civil officials for you?
Royal Money!
This is Wang Ningan's promise to Zhao Zhen, and it is also a reason for Zhao Zhen to protect himself.
However, Wang Ningan obviously underestimated the value of his suggestion, and Zhao Zhen carefully interrogated the question about Qian Zhuang, and talked for more than two hours.
Wang Ning'an was not obscure, and told the emperor all the pros and cons, Zhao Zhen knew it in his heart, he was very satisfied, and even ordered Wang Ning'an to be given a purple gold fish bag!
He also gave him a holy decree, he escorted Li Rizun to the south to Jiaozhi, as the minister of the imperial mission, on behalf of the emperor, when necessary, he could mobilize the civil and military forces of Lingnan to assist him in handling various affairs. In addition, Zhao Zhen added an official position to Wang Ning'an as a Dingyuan envoy.
This move suddenly made many people have mixed tastes, first of all, our literary alliance leader Ouyang Xiu, the old gentleman has been mixed for so many years before he wears a red robe with a silverfish bag, which is one level worse than Wang Ning'an's purple robe goldfish bag.
The old gentleman suddenly had the feeling of living to a dog in this life!
Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen, how much do you like Wang Ning'an!
As soon as he entered the office, he was given to the magistrate, and he did not hesitate to destroy the rules of officialdom for him, and praised him as a pacification envoy, and now he is awarded the honor of purple gold fish bag.
……
Ouyang Xiu is an open-minded person, he quickly figured it out, although Wang Ning'an is a big official, but this official is not easy to be!
What is the Far Reacherable?
The imperial court didn't have this position before, and Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but think of Dingyuan Hou Banchao!
Your Majesty, this is to let Wang Ning'an follow Ban Chao's example to pass through the Western Regions, level the countries of Jiaozhi, and open up a world for the Great Song Dynasty! If Wang Ning'an is really allowed to do it, just like when Ban Chao made the Western Regions, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to have a stable rear, grain, copper mines, timber, manpower, and land...... With these things, a steady supply, the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to an extra super blood bag, and then go to fight with the Liao State, recover Yanyun, and destroy the Western Xia, there will be hope!
The more Ouyang Xiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was a big game of chess.
Think about it a few years ago, I heard Wang Jiajun say again and again, not forgetting the shame of the Northern Expedition, and wanting to take back Yanyun. Even Ouyang Xiu thought it was a joke, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
But the old gentleman suddenly found that Wang Ningan had not forgotten his oath for a moment.
Every step he takes is to accumulate strength and strengthen his own strength.
When the preparation is sufficient, the strength is enough, one day, the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed and the shame of the snow and the abyss will be washed away!
Attaboy!
This is the real manly man!
The old man may not be able to fight on the battlefield and contribute to the great cause, at least the old man will be in the court for a day, and no one will be difficult for you.
Ouyang Xiu thought about it for a long time, he was not good at local government affairs, and he was even more stumbling in governing Kaifeng Mansion, so it was difficult to make any great achievements.
Since this is the case, it is better to let Kaifeng Mansion out, Ouyang Xiu thought about it, and talked to Jia Changchao again.
Jia Xianggong immediately started to operate, Song Zhen had shielded Sun Wei before, and when the official impeached Wang Ning'an, he did nothing, and he was no longer qualified to sit in the position of prime minister.
Finally, all parties explicitly hinted that Song Zhen was unbearable and asked to leave his post, and Zhao Zhen did not keep too much, and in this way, Song Zhen left the court.
The privy envoy Jia Changchao was promoted to a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, supervised the study of national history, and officially became the prime minister.
Jia Xianggong composed a hymn to the counterattack, and after unremitting efforts, he finally came to the peak of power, and he was full of ambition.
The position of privy envoy left by him was handed over to Liang Shi, and a privy deputy envoy Wang Yaochen was added, as for the Dongfu side, Fu Bi is still the second oldest in ten thousand years, and continues to be a scholar of Jixian Palace, and at the same time there is an unexpected arrangement, and Tang Jie in the imperial history is appointed as the governor.
As for his vacant Yushi Zhongcheng, it was taken over by Ouyang Xiu, a Hanlin scholar!
