Chapter Seventy-Seven: Little Servant Zhou Meimei
readx;??“ Back to the prince's words, the little one is called Zhou Meimei. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" the child replied cautiously.
As soon as he heard the word Meimei, it reminded Wang that he would show off his rich girl, how could a child in the bedroom call such a feminine name one day, could it be that Su Xiaomei was funny and made herself pay the public grain, so as not to go outside to hand over the surplus grain.
Wang jumped out of bed and pulled Zhou Meimei to the window, he acted like he was carrying a chicken, Zhou Meimei also woke up completely at once, pushed open the window, and the morning light shone into the room, Wang next looked carefully, this is obviously a boy, Su Xiaomei will not let herself change her taste no matter how naughty she is.
Seeing Zhou Meimei staring at herself in fright, Wang also felt that she seemed to be a little reckless just now.
He let go of Zhou Meimei: "How old are you, when did you come to my room!" ”
"The little one is twelve years old"
Child labor, typical child labor, Wang Bian used Tong Guan and others as secretaries that were also sixteen years old, seeing that Wang Bian did not speak, Zhou Meimei said: "Lord Wang, it's not a small thing to do wrong!" ”
"Oh, no!"
As they spoke, the maidservants and maidservants in the inner courtyard heard the movement and had already started one after another, and the people who came in at this time were busy cleaning up the bedroom next to the king, and some looked curiously at Zhou Meimei, who was standing next to the king and bowing her head.
"How long have you been in the palace, why don't you go to the academy to study." Wang changed into short clothes and trousers during morning exercises, and Zhou Meimei has been serving beside her, although these things are done for the first time, but they are quick to do things, not inferior to the family who serves all year round.
"Back to the prince, it's been a few days since I came, and it happened that the housekeeper in your room had a sudden illness last night, and I took his place, and I was there last night, but the prince drank to the fullest, and he fell asleep when he came back, so ......"
I did drink a lot of wine last night, at first I thought Lin Haozhi was a happy person, and then the more I chatted, the happier I became, and Lin Haozhi told a lot of interesting stories about literati and prostitutes, I didn't think that I was also a layman at the root, and I saw the family affairs and state affairs of the world, otherwise I would be righteous and awe-inspiring in the court, and even the king himself felt that life was too tired and too monotonous, and occasionally listened to interesting things in the market, and suddenly seemed to return to the long-suppressed nature of dick, and it was inevitable that it was not a happy Linlin.
"Hehe, sure enough, okay, you will be in my room in the future, Meimei...... This name is Tainiang, I will call you Xiao Zhou in the future! ”
How did this Zhou Meimei come from, how did she come to be a subordinate at such a young age, there must be some twists and turns, Wang Bi now understands a truth, other people's stories are someone else's, so he will not ask what the child's situation is, in short, if he is a smart child, he can at least let him be a scholar for a child of the same age, at least he can be educated by some culture.
Xiao Zhou was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
Wang Fang didn't know whether he thanked him for leaving him to do things, or changing his name, and since then, there has been an extra subordinate named Xiao Zhou in Wang's room.
Stretching his muscles and bones, running laps, practicing swords, the sky is bright, and the mind next to the king is becoming clearer, and other things are easy to say, but what Lu Shenyan said about the uneven distribution of things in the court, the apportionment that Liu Qi said, and some of the things mentioned by Lin Haozhi seem to be related together.
After breakfast, Wang came to Wang Anshi's mansion, heard that his father had entered the palace, he was not in a hurry to go back, first went to greet his mother, and then went to visit Wang Yuanze, who was still secretly happy because of the emperor's marriage, and wanted to chat with Yuanze for a while, but seeing that his mind was not on business at all, he was in a daze from time to time thinking about when to marry Miss Pang.
The nerd initiates a nymphomaniac that is getting more and more boring.
Wang Anshi's mansion is assigned by the imperial court, the area is not too small, it is good to say that the governor is also a preparatory prime minister, the house has three entrances, there is a patio in front, there is a garden in the back, the environment is very elegant, this elegance suddenly makes the king have a leisurely feeling, every day in the palace is official business to do, I can't think of the occasional time-consuming people, but let myself feel a little more relaxed.
Yuan Ze finally woke up from his occasional daze, and he almost didn't hear what the king said in this half day, "Brother, what did you just say, Ali Gu is swearing to you!" ”
Wang was holding a teacup, his eyes looking at the spring in the garden, and he smiled when he heard Wang Yuanze ask himself.
Wang Anshi came back very early, today is not a court meeting, and he went to the palace to send a chapter, and he was not on duty in the political hall today, the two brothers next to the king came to the hall, and when they saw the king coming, Wang Anshi was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you free today, if you want to come, you won't say it in advance, and it will save me a lot of time." Thinking of entering the palace today, Wang Anshi felt a little unlucky.
"It's always right to come and see my father, there are a few things I have to ask my father for advice recently!"
Wang Anshi squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Bian with joy and relief: "Is it that after Mr. Hou leaves, there are fewer shogunates around him who can communicate, if so, I will recommend a few more capable people to you when I go back!" ”
"It's better to ask you directly about this matter...... Wang Bian told Wang Anshi about several things he heard recently, Wang Anshi squinted and listened, and when Wang Bian finished speaking, he nodded: "Look, this is the drawbacks I mentioned in the book of ten thousand words, in fact, this problem has been there for a long time, but now it is getting more and more serious, and it seems that change is imminent!" ”
"Please tell me more about it!"
As soon as Wang Anshi said this, he had to start with the shipping division that Lu Shenyan disdained in his words.
The establishment of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the release of military power with a glass of wine, the reform of the imperial examination, the rule of the country with literature, the lesson that the soldiers of the Tang and Han dynasties were all outside, and the millions of troops were accumulated in Beijing; The implementation of these measures also increased the financial expenditure of the central government, so that the situation of "redundant officials, redundant army, and redundant expenses" was formed, for which the Northern Song Dynasty had to devote itself to the development of the cause of Cao Yun, the so-called "the country is the most urgent and heaviest in Cao affairs" Song Dingdu Kaifeng, contrary to the Han and Tang dynasties in Chang'an or Luoyang, which was in a dangerous place, and chose "the land out of Siping, all the roads radiate", the "land of all directions" and the danger of the nameless mountains and rivers, mainly because Kaifeng is the intersection of many rivers and canals, and Chang'an and Luoyang can smoothly solve the transportation of grain.
There are two departments to solve the problem of Cao Yun: one is the three divisions of the Cao Yun administrative macro leadership, that is, to determine the category of materials, the number of required transportation, supervise the transport agencies around the country, etc., the other is the local transport management agency for the transshipment department and the shipping department, the chief of the shipping department is the shipping envoy, the shipping division has a discharge, unloading, allocation, urging and other divisions, in order to carry out timely delivery and unloading and transfer of materials for road-by-road transport, and the three divisions (household department) are responsible for issuing the volume, type and exemption, etc. According to the various transportation requirements issued by the three divisions, the shipping department ordered the Southeast Sixth Road Transit Division to handle the collection task.
Well, here's the point.
Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty by Taizu, the implementation of the policy of "strong cadres and weak branches", Bianjing and the peripheral areas alone have concentrated nearly one million troops, in order to meet this huge consumer group, it is necessary to transport materials from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the production areas, and the usual practice is to set up a shipping department to preside over this work.
However, due to the lack of ventilation up and down, the authority of the shipping department is not large, neither understand the storage of the capital and the demand for various materials, nor do they have the power to grasp the supply of goods on the road, resulting in a disconnect in management, the materials on the road are transported according to a fixed number every year, and the harvest year does not increase, the disaster does not decrease, and it is very rigid.
At the same time, because some of the materials needed by the Beijing division were often taken from places where they were not abundant, or they were forcibly collected in disaster years, rich businessmen took advantage of the opportunity to enter the market, control the market, and make huge profits.
This has caused several problems: the supply system on all roads is too rigid and lacks reasonable planning; Although there is a fixed amount for the supply, the consumption is impermanent, resulting in unnecessary lang fees; In addition, the shipping department collects taxes and taxes from the people and transfers and changes them in many ways, and when they buy from the people, they do not rely on the actual property and supply and demand situation, or they ask for more than they can produce, or when they buy expensively, they not only increase the burden on the peasants exponentially, but also provide an opportunity for the wealthy businessmen to manipulate prices and make huge profits, and increase the government's financial expenditures in vain.
Let's take what happened next to the king: the imperial court is going to pay welfare, so you can call the shipping envoy to buy it, but the big businessmen who originally made fabrics delivered goods to the imperial court to make huge profits had to bribe officials, and these officials allowed cloth merchants to transport cloth to the capital in order to get kickbacks, so it would cost a lot of transportation fees, and the freight was paid by the imperial court, and the money for buying fabrics was also paid by the imperial court.
And the tea paid tribute to the tea house is another matter, a certain official in charge of issuing Cao Yun in the third division, remembering that the tea came, waved a big pen, or it was to curry favor with the Zhennan Palace, this is unknown.
As for the problems encountered by Lin Haozhi, it is even more so, how can the things he transported to the capital by himself be cheaper than the things that are transported to the capital by the merchants, and in addition, the real tax revenue is indeed what Lin Haozhi said, the big businessmen have united with officials to manipulate the market, and it is no wonder that most people only see the phenomenon, but they don't see the real problem in it.
After Wang Anshi said this, Wang Bian completely understood.
"I remember my father's equal-loss method, which was to change this situation." Wang Yuanze said with understanding.
"Brother, you didn't just think of it!"
"Lord Wang, you have thought of it, but your way of thinking is different from that of Daddy!"
Wang Yuanze was right, Wang Bian supported Wang Anshi's change at the beginning, but after a few things, Wang Bian felt more and more that there were some things that Wang Anshi couldn't let go along the old way.
"Why, after listening to so many shortcomings of today's shipping division, do you still have any objections to the equalization method?" Wang Anshi looked at Wang in surprise.
The objection is that there is, Wang Anshi's plan of equalizing the loss of the law, set up the shipping to be in charge of the tax revenue of the six southeast roads, grasp the supply and demand situation, and all the purchases, taxes, and supplies can be "expensive and cheap, and use the near and far", which is equivalent to the imperial court turning the shipping department into a largest comprador. Is that good? Maybe Wang Bi also has some thoughts in his heart right now, and even Wang Anshi's different thoughts!
