Chapter 384: Salt Transport Envoy Xin Mao
Shi Bufan proposed the establishment of a salt transportation envoy, and this Li Shimin immediately understood the meaning of Shi Bufan. The meaning of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is to set up a post of dispatch again, and through the establishment of this post of dispatch to set up the three provinces and six ministries, and break away from the central organization of the three provinces and six ministries controlled by the Nashi clan. By setting up a large number of such dispatches, it helped to bypass the nobles, which not only facilitated and promoted the poor families, but even voided the official position.
This kind of foreign officials can get a good development, and this is in the emperor's interest. But it is also in the interests of the times. In many cases, this kind of foreign official is an official position with a strong "professionalism". For example, salt transportation envoys, salt and iron transportation envoys, and even various "professional" official positions are actually beneficial to the times.
Shi Bufan is very aware of the pitfalls of departmental interests, once the departmental interests are formed, once a highly professional official position is institutionalized and departmentalized, then their departmental interests and system interests will also increase suddenly. In this way, many overseers will become more supervised and more protectors to a certain extent. This is also the self-respect of the cowards, and they will not destroy the soil for their survival.
In fact, Shi Bufan has no objection to such highly professional official positions, which will eventually become various potential protective forces and allies at the strategic level of Shi Bufan. Shi Bufan would like to set up more, which will be of great help to him in the development of productivity and various industries. When the imperial court finds that these highly specialized departments will eventually become bigger.
"Your Majesty, this salt envoy might as well let General Xin Mao of Menxia Province take over. This Xin Mao general has been in the imperial court for more than half a year, so you can consider adjusting it. Let him serve as this salt transport envoy, which can be regarded as a formal experience abroad. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan very toothlessly recommended his henchman General Xin Mao, and directly asked General Xin Mao to serve as this salt envoy, so that he could master the affairs of Tuyuhun. It is impossible for Shi Bufan to suppress the future of his own henchmen, otherwise people will resent you. If the boss suppresses the future of his subordinates, then you, the boss, don't have to mess around.
The leader of the group should not suppress the future of his subordinates, otherwise you will also be pulled down. At this time, Shi Bufan recommended his own people to serve as salt transport envoys, hoping to use this shareholder style to improve his status.
Originally, this salt envoy only existed in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, when the population of Chang'an in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty surged, and the demand for salt and steel also increased sharply. In the end, a salt and iron transport envoy had to be established, and later the post of salt and iron transport envoy was formed.
The political status of this salt envoy was suddenly improved later, from a low-level petty official at the beginning, and then his political status continued to improve, and even later he had to hang the rank of prime minister. Although he is not actually the prime minister, it is a fact that his status has been rising.
To say that in the Tang Dynasty, this salt and iron transshipment envoy was not a real legitimate official position, but why could he be listed as a prime minister? This is enough to show that whether there is an official position or not, and whether there is political resources and political influence are completely different things. During the Tang Dynasty, the salt envoy was not a legitimate official, nor was he a legal Guanyun in the compilation, but he was very powerful. Only in the Ming Dynasty will they be officially included in the ranks of the officials.
Shi Bufan knows better that in the future, Datang's productivity will develop rapidly, and perhaps in a few years, Datang's population will surge. Even a large number of people crowded into Guanzhong, this process is more powerful than the original history of the Tang Dynasty. Such a situation will inevitably contribute to the rise of the position of the salt transporters and the increasing political resources at their disposal.
Shi Bufan took advantage of the layout as soon as possible and quickly inserted his own people into the salt transportation system. Strive to establish our own system as soon as possible, so that we can completely pull the entire system of this salt transportation envoy into our own interest groups, which is tantamount to directly controlling a huge economic organization.
At present, the vast majority of people in Datang could not have imagined that the population of Guanzhong would definitely increase suddenly in the future, and the rate of increase far exceeded any historical experience. Mastering salt means mastering the people's livelihood, and such benefits will certainly not be let go.
This is tantamount to tying more people to their chariots and pulling more and more people into their own interest groups, so that this is the stability of the place.
Even using historical knowledge and knowledge of economic development predicted in advance, it is enough to go out to fight for salt transportation to make the future position more and more huge, so hurry up and take advantage of this time to occupy it, then don't wait until you grow up in the future to occupy the position.
"Salt Messenger? Specialist? Li Shimin asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "That's right, the department is in charge of this matter, responsible for Datang procurement, transportation and even disposal of various relationships with Tuyuhun for me, and even supports those who have benefited from my Datang procurement of salt, so that they can follow our Datang with one heart." ”
For the establishment of this Yanyun era, Li Shimin feels that it is not important. At least for now, Li Shimin did not predict that the population of Chang'an Guanzhong would surge in the future, and even the population pressure was enough to make Li Shimin breathless. Li Shimin is not too familiar with this judgment, he still thinks that this salt envoy is here to deal with this Tuyuhun. In his eyes, it is indeed a weakness of his in dealing with people's livelihood, especially his view of dealing with people's livelihood is still very backward, and it is completely borrowed from ancient things, not that it can predict later developments.
The population of the Guanzhong area has surged, and in the future, this must be prepared in advance. Shi Bufan must also be prepared, the population surge during the Tang Gaozong period may be in advance. The reason why Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian "moved" the capital to Luoyang during the period is probably not only to avoid the influence of the Guanlong group, but also because the population of the audience area has surged, and they have to take the initiative to move the capital. Although Chang'an is the first city in the world with a population of more than one million, if you want to look at it in two, with the productivity and transportation capacity of the Tang Dynasty, such a huge city is certainly an honor, but the pressure behind it is definitely not small. Carrying such a huge population is not just a matter of touching each other. The social system behind it and even various production, transportation and other systems must also be involved. If the supporting system can't keep up, then a large population is not only not a good thing, but a disaster.
Shi Bufan did a good job of this salt transportation in advance to prepare in advance is the source channel of salt, so that half public and half private, not only for their own future to grasp greater resources, but also for the population of Guanzhong area to soar within ten years, including locals and foreigners are crowded in Chang'an, such a huge supply of materials, salt is also an important thing. Having mastered table salt, it is an important political resource, and it is very important to plan in advance.
With the macroeconomics that Shi Bufan is good at, he is better at making long-term economic speculation between regions, and the ancients obviously did not have this kind of thinking, or this kind of thinking is very primitive or even shallow, this is his advantage, and he naturally has to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
"Okay, just let this Xin Mao general go!" Li Shimin agreed.
Li Shimin once again dug a big hole by Shi Bufan because of information asymmetry. The information of the two sides is obviously asymmetrical, so no matter how smart Li Shimin is, he can't predict the future development trend. On the contrary, Shi Bufan may not be as good as Li Shimin in terms of strategy, but he has far more "TB" than him in terms of information, and Shi Bufan can make decisions more easily in terms of information. Decision-making is supported by information, not something that is thought about casually. Even if Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are Fang Xuanling's decision, but without the support of sufficient intelligence information, they will not be able to make effective decisions. There is absolutely no absolutely intelligent person in this world, and you can make correct decisions without relying on information, but the smarter people are, the more dependent they are on information.
"Retire!" Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan directly told General Xin Mao the news, this "salt transport envoy" is an envoy, and the status in Guda is in the nature of "temporary dispatch", and generally this level of temporary dispatch only needs to be appointed by the emperor, and there is no need for the province to deliberate. However, the later emperors usurped the power of those official positions through this kind of "temporary dispatch", and as a result, a large number of "temporary" people held formal power, and the official official positions became temporary status. This directly affected the Song Dynasty, allowing the Song Dynasty to create a system of separation of officials, positions, and dispatches.
"General Xin Mao, this time I will escort you to Tuyuhun. You don't have to think that I am biased and sent you to such a far place, and the living conditions are not good, which is not as comfortable as Ren Yaxiang in Chang'an. I know that you are also a master of both civil and military affairs, not only do you know a lot about civil affairs, but even military affairs. But I also want to talk about your shortcomings, although you understand both, but in some political sensitivities, you obviously don't understand Ren Yaxiang. Therefore, I think you should make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take the initiative to leave Chang'an temporarily, so as to accumulate a certain amount of capital first, so that after your foothold is stable, you will not be afraid of falling into the whirlpool easily. ”
"And here in Chang'an, if you are not careful, you will fall into some whirlpool, I am afraid that you will not be able to get rid of it in time. On the contrary, if you take the capital to accumulate outside, you can get more benefits in the future. ”
General Xin Mao was still a little hesitant and said, "Master, is this salt envoy really promising?" I'm not afraid of hardship, but ...... I still hope for some future. ”
"You don't have to worry about the future, if the number of people in Chang'an increases to one million in the future, it may not take a few years. Maybe within 10 years, the population of Chang'an will be able to increase to one million, so what do you think? At that time, the amount of salt that needs to be consumed every day is massive, do you know the importance of your salt carrier, right? Build this up as soon as possible and get a firm grip on it. Even the subordinates of this salt transport envoy must be placed with people we can trust, and support a large group of people within Tuyuhun. In this way, from top to bottom, from things to people, we have mastered this 'salt road', so we will master most of the salt supply in Guanzhong, so do you say there is a future? Shi Bufan asked.
Xin Mao will finally flow out of Harazi, can this have no future? It's definitely promising, promising! If you have mastered the vast majority of the salt supply in the entire Chang'an and even Guanzhong region, then who will say that there is no future, and the future is earth-shattering. Once this salt channel is in our hands, it is not only a political resource, but also a huge economic resource. Not only is it politically enough to threaten the security of the Guanzhong region, but economically it is definitely a shortage of fat, and it is a shortage of fat. Who doesn't know that the richest people in ancient times were not the ones who sold salt. Although the Tang Dynasty did not implement the salt and iron official camp at present, but several dynasties before were officially operated, so who doesn't know that as long as the person who is tied to the management of the salt administration of this official government, it will definitely make a fortune.
The political and economic capital in this is shocking, and Xin Mao will finally not feel that there is no future here, on the contrary, compared to many people, there is a future.
"This is my speculation, don't say it casually with a big mouth, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Shi Bufan said.
"Master, if I say it, I'll find a crooked neck tree and hang it myself, so I won't trouble you." Simon will assure.
Xin Mao said that he was not stupid and told this good thing? When the time comes, no one minds going to Tuyuhun to "suffer", taking advantage of the fact that everyone thinks it is a chore now, hurry up and occupy it, and when the time comes, the entire "salt road" from items to personnel will be branded with themselves, so who can easily snatch it away? As soon as possible, the salt transportation should be institutionalized and systematized by the department, so that their own unique departmental interests can be formed, so that they will be completely safe, and no one will want to come and pick peaches easily.
"I know you're both civil and military, that's why I let you go. Especially to deal with this group of Tuyuhun people, not only must have brains, but also have a tough side. You can force them to comply, if necessary. Of course, you can't be tough on everything, and sometimes you have to be 'soft'. That's why I think you are more suitable for this matter than Ren Yaxiang, although he is more politically sensitive than you, but he is not as good as you in terms of hardness. Although you are politically sensitive and weaker than him, you can deal with this matter, because as long as you are facing the outside world, then no matter who you are in the Tang Dynasty, from the scholars to the ordinary people, you must support you unconditionally, because no one can be alone when it comes to the outside world. In this way, it is not easy for you to fall into infighting, and avoid the subsequent dismantling. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan thinks that there is no unusable person in this world, but he did not let him play in the right industry or position, which even the ancients understood that there are often thousands of horses in the world, but Bole is not often. During this period of time, Shi Bufan found that Ren Yaxiang's political sensitivity was relatively strong, and this Xin Mao General was relatively politically sensitive. However, the advantage of General Xin Mao is that he understands military affairs better than Ren Yaxiang, and belongs to the kind of person who is both civil and military, and can be completely independent outside. However, if you want to calculate in the central government, I am afraid that it is not as good as Ren Yaxiang.
Sending Xin Mao out can not only strengthen his influence in the local area, but even build and control this "salt road" to prepare for the future control of the economic lifeline of the Chang'an region. But if you have to face the Tuyuhun group of foreigners, then maybe Ren Yaxiang, a person with a slightly soft personality and who doesn't understand military affairs, will suffer a loss, and let this Xin Mao, who is both civil and military, or even relaxed, go, then he will do things well.
Shi Bufan studied the human resources module of business administration, and he still has some understanding of human resources, and the employment is still relatively scientific. In later generations, human resources is already a very "scientific" discipline, not the kind of humane management that relies on what kind of gangs and gangs. Let Xin Mao go outside, which is more conducive to the human resources arrangement of Shi Bufan's subordinates, and can even develop a line that directly pulls the people of the entire "salt road" into the water, and the power will inevitably rise suddenly.
