Chapter 321 In-depth reform
That's one day!
During this period, the periphery was guarded by guards, and no one was allowed to approach within ten zhang. Only Wang Wuyue went in and sent some tea, food, etc.
At the beginning, Zhao Pu said a lot, but gradually said very little, and then he stopped talking at all, just kept listening and analyzing
Zhao Pu once again saw the horror of the literati under the imperial examination system.
In later generations, when talking about the imperial examination, it was always more derogatory than praised. But one thing is certain, those who are in high school in the imperial examination are definitely the top IQ.
Zhao Pu is not a Ph.D. in economics, just an amateur. For banks and banknotes, there are superficial opinions, can only outline the general outline, in some details, specific operations, there are many deficiencies.
And Li Gang and Qin Hui are needles for these shortcomings, to make up for them, so that the originally thin skeleton is gradually plumped.
After the last, looking at the final draft, Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What satisfied him the most was that the remedial plans at the end of the manuscript were mainly set up for the development of banks and problems in currency issuance.
At this time, the establishment of banks and the issuance of paper money will still cause malnutrition, but at least it will not die easily.
"Banks are established and paper money is issued, this is a national policy. In the next three to five years, the two of you will be in charge of the bank! This is a major national event, related to the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no room for negligence. Lost the battle, killed hundreds of thousands of troops, lost all the territory, I don't care. But in the bank, in the issuance of banknotes, you need to be cautious, weigh the pros and cons, and think of the worst, because I can't afford to lose! β
Zhao Pudao. The expression was extraordinarily solemn.
Li Gang and Qin Hui looked solemn, and said in unison: "Weichen understands!" β
"The plan, only the three of us know the way, and the fourth person must not know the way!" Zhao Pu told again, "If you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a move, it will be fatal." It's all about secrecy! β
"Wechen understands!"
Li Gang, Qin Hui said again.
The three-person meeting is finally over. Zhao Pu was a little tired, but more excited.
After coming to this world, the real historical appearance. has been distorted by his butterfly, how to develop in the future, there is no reference at all, can only cross the river by feeling the stones, stumbling constantly. There is even a readiness to shed blood.
Time is of the essence, time is left for him. It's only twenty years.
These twenty years. It was the moment when the Jin army's military strength was the most powerful, and it was also the moment when politics was the most naΓ―ve, the local rule was unstable, and the time when mistakes were repeated, and it was also the best moment of the Northern Expedition.
At this time, the northerners were undecided, and the southern turtles breathed a sigh of relief. The situation of confrontation between the north and the south was in an extremely fragile state, the deadlock was easily broken, and the success of the Northern Expedition was extremely great.
But once these twenty years have passed. The high-level of the Jin State is maturing politically and consolidating locally; And the southern regime was stable, the people were comfortable, and the shame was forgotten, and when it came to the Northern Expedition at that time, the failure was great.
Twenty years seems to be a long time, but for the Northern Expedition to destroy Jin and dominate the world, it is very short, and the time has passed in the blink of an eye.
Historically, the Mongols, who had the most powerful military power, spent 12 years destroying the Western Xia; It took fourteen years to destroy the Kingdom of Jin; It took forty-five years to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be seen how difficult it is to destroy the country. Zhao Pu doesn't think that he is more awesome than Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan.
And being able to complete the destruction of gold in 20 years is a feat in itself!
All of this requires a good economic foundation, and all this requires the establishment of banks and the issuance of paper money.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Reform is going on silently!
No one notices!
There are some things that can only be said, but not done; There are things that cannot be said or done; Some things can be done, but can't be said. For example, the preparation of the bank at the moment, such as the change that kicked off the prelude.
This change, on the grounds of post-disaster reconstruction and with the bank as the fulcrum, began to radiate to the entire Jiangnan.
Comparatively speaking, this change is not as magnificent as the Qingli New Deal, and it is not as earth-shattering as Wang Anshi's change, but it is just a commercial adjustment.
The imperial court simply issued an order, passed it without discussing it in the court, and then carried out it with the support of Li Gang, the right minister, and Qin Hui, the left minister.
The method has always been from shallow to deep, and there is a point that radiates the whole world.
The rectification of officials, land rectification, and so on are the core of the reform, which touches the key point, and is a change that hurts the muscles and bones, and is a change that greatly hurts the vitality.
It is very easy to dry the old one.
However, on the old foundation, if the construction is suitable, it is difficult to climb to the sky, or even to fail.
Fan Zhongyan changed the law, Wang Anshi changed the law, they essentially realized that the old system was not good and wanted to change it. Pushed to the old one, but unfortunately, the new one was not built in time to replace the old one.
As a result, the most reluctance collapsed.
As for the rectification of the rule of officials, Zhao Pu is extremely unconfident, it is easy to bring down a corrupt official, but it is very difficult to ensure that the new appointee is not corrupt. Even in the 21st century, corruption and administrative inaction are government problems. If you want to rule the officials in the Great Song Dynasty, it is very difficult, and even defeated.
The success is very low, and it is easy to cause turmoil in the court, so Zhao Pu simply gave up.
As for the change in the land, the time has come, but it is also more difficult. It's just superficial, the military household system is okay, after all, the military household is only a very small part. Wanting to reform the land and marginalize the entire strata is a prelude to death.
At this point, the success rate is not high, and the risk of failure is too great!
It can only be a choice, the risk is relatively small, and the failure will be a relatively small commercial shot!
Persimmon soft pinch!
It has to be said that, relative to all classes, the merchant class is a class that is easy to bully, and is often cut or slaughtered as a fat pig. And business is the last business, even if Zhao Pu is preparing to build a bank and issue banknotes, there are loopholes, and the negative impact is less.
Even if the banks fail at the end and fail to issue banknotes, the backlash against society is far lower than the fluctuations of land reform and government reform.
I have to say that Zhao Pu, who has a melancholy personality and even some depression, prepared for the worst before preparing to establish a bank and issue banknotes!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The three-person meeting is over.
Qin Hui was also heading back to the mansion, sitting in the study, thinking melancholy.
It seems that in order to decentralize power, and it seems to be to improve administrative efficiency, on the basis of the prime minister system, there is a cabinet, and the cabinet has divided part of the power of the prime minister, and the position of the left prime minister is much smaller than the era of Wang Anshi and Cai Jing, but there are many more restrictions!
It's just that, no matter what, becoming the prime minister can be regarded as gradually entering the core of power.
It's very close to ruling the world!
Li Gang's right phase, his left phase, is only in charge of economic affairs, only in the bank and paper money. It seems that the power is much smaller, but Qin Hui knows that the power does not lie in the official position, but in the emperor's trust.
The emperor trusted that even an insignificant petty official could have great power; And if the emperor doesn't trust it, even if it's the prime minister, there is a possibility of being set aside!
No matter how the imperial court changes and how officials are promoted, what remains unchanged is the supremacy of the emperor, the power comes from above, and he controls all directions.
"Xianggong? Why the sad face! Wang on the side asked.
"Madam, Your Majesty, invite me to discuss important matters with Li Gang today!" Saying that, what happened during the day Qin Hui roughly said, "Your Majesty, this is to roast me on the fire!" β
"It is better to be roasted by the emperor on the fire than to throw it aside. It's not terrible to be used, it's terrible to have no use value! Wang's eyes flashed with joy, "Husband, your chance has come!" β
Qin Hui sneered: "Your Majesty, this is to make me Wang Anshi and Cai Jing!" β
"What's wrong with that, Wang Anshi has the power alone, and Cai Jing controls the three provinces!" Wang's eyes flashed with excitement, "Li Gang is an exaggeration, and the emperor has long been extremely disgusted. It was only to use his prestige to expel him. As long as the husband has a firm foothold, Li Gang will be expelled step by step at that time............ That............"
Wang is drunk!
This night, Qin Hui had insomnia, and Wang also had insomnia.
They are planning, with the help of the power of the left minister, to crack down on Li Gang, win over cronies, constantly form parties and private organizations, form a dense network of relationships, control the entire court, and form a sweeping trend.
And this night, Li Gang also lost sleep! (To be continued......)
PS: The update is late, the state is not good these days, a lot of understanding, a lot of annoyance. The mood is a little grumpy, and the writing is not in the mood.
