Lu Chunyi said in a righteous manner: "There is no omission in the current law of the Ministry of Commerce to sell coal, and if the price of coal is raised as Zhuang Yuanlang said, it will certainly make the illegal coal dealers more rampant." Imagine that we have raised the price of coal, and coal demanders have to think of other ways to buy coal, where to buy it? Naturally, it is a smuggler of coal. ”

When King Gewei heard this, what Lu Chun said was very reasonable, if the price went up, the profits of the illicit coal dealers would be higher, and this would further intensify their reckless mentality, which would lead to more and more illicit coal dealers.

Thinking of this, King Gowey did not rush to bring down Wu Zhen's idea, and looked at him with interest, as if he wanted to see what else he was capable of.

Wu Zhen was not in a hurry, he had been listening calmly when Lu Chun retorted, thinking about what to do, and at this time, seeing the king's gaze, he calmly responded: "Only speculating on the price of coal will certainly contribute to the increase of private coal sellers, what Lord Shangshu said is extremely true. ”

The words came to an abrupt end here, Wu Zhen glanced at the people who were looking at him suspiciously, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The reason why China's coal sales have caused an increase in private coal sellers is precisely because of the kingdom's monopoly sales. If we want to increase coal revenues, we need a series of sales reforms to completely eliminate illegal coal dealers. I have summarized the following points: first, revise closed-door sales and implement open-door sales; second, expand coal mining production to make up for the shortage of coal resources in the world; Third, implement a mine contracting responsibility system, so that wealthy people in the private sector can contract mines and pay management fees according to the output every year. These three points are enough to change the status quo of coal sales in China, thereby increasing the revenue of the national treasury. ”

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar and began to discuss:

"This champion is so bold, wouldn't the implementation of the contract responsibility system liberalize the coal business, so that the people are all private coal sellers?"

"I think what Zhuang Yuanlang said is reasonable, the most important thing we do in Changge is coal, the underground ore reserves are abundant, with our current production capacity is simply just the surface of the movement, if the implementation of the contract responsibility system, can greatly increase coal production, we develop a method of charging management fees is also a lot of income."

“……”

The voices of the people talked about it came to the ears of King Gowey, Wuzhen, and Lu Chun, and King Gowei listened to those discussions, and there were not a few voices in favor of the contract responsibility system, and what they said was also very reasonable, if this system was implemented, the abundant mineral resources underground would certainly greatly increase the amount of production, and the treasury would be quickly filled.

Lu Chun didn't think so, he was thinking that if these systems were implemented, once the coal was released, the Ministry of Commerce would have no oil and water to fish, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking about ways to prevent the king from listening to this suggestion.

However, before Lu Chun could come up with a countermeasure, King Gewei had already announced: "What Zhuangyuan Lang Wuzhen said is not unreasonable, we can first take a county town as a pilot to implement it, and if the effect is possible, carry out large-scale restructuring." ”

At this point, King Gowei looked at Wu Zhen and said, "Gu temporarily arranged for you to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Commerce, and assist Lu Chunshangshu to carry out the pilot work, are you willing?" ”

When Wu Zhen heard this, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely not disappoint your high expectations!" ”

Lu Chun's face was ugly, and seeing that it was impossible to stop it at this time, he took a step forward and handed over his hand to report, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Wechen will strictly implement the new strategy, and the results will be reported in time." ”

"Retreat."

King Gowei couldn't wait to announce his retreat from the dynasty, and hurried back to the harem to have fun, and the fox queen that Tingwei Lin Bang found for him was still waiting on the harem couch, waiting for the king to be watered by rain and dew.

……

Wu Zhen is a doer, immediately after taking office, the coal reform regulations, after planning for half a month, decided to take his hometown Yanzhou as a pilot to carry out the first step of the reform regulations.

As soon as this news was promulgated, it immediately caused turmoil in Changge Country, and everyone focused on the new regulations, waiting for the arrival of spring in Changge Country.

Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia have been looking for Bai Gui's whereabouts in Yanzhou during this time, and to their disappointment, they have not been able to find any news. Zong Wusheng summed it up and thought that Bai Gui might come to Changge and catch up with the coal being rounded, so he found another way to find a private coal dealer to buy it, which led to being arrested by the government.

At present, this is the only scenario that is the most realistic. When he was confused, Zong Wusheng learned from the people that Wu Zhen had taken up the post of squire of the Ministry of Commerce, and that he planned to reform the coal sales regulations in Changge.

Among them, the implementation of the coal mine contracting responsibility system made Zong Wusheng very happy, if this is the case, he can bid for a coal mine, and his own coal needs can be solved.

Just as Wu Zhen went home to visit his relatives today half a month after taking office, Zong Wusheng discussed with Wu Jia and decided to ask Wu Zhen for a bidding qualification to contract a coal mine.

At night, Heiwu Village is brightly lit, and every household puts up lanterns, puts on festive costumes and walks out of the house, and comes to the village entrance to greet the champion Lang Wuzhen.

In the anxious anticipation of the whole village, a group of cars and horses came, and the middle van was Wuzhen's car, listening to the cheers of the people outside the van, he was not happy.

Only then did the person concerned know his difficulties as an official.

Since taking office, Lu Chun has been deliberately making things difficult for him, resulting in the promulgation and implementation of new regulations that took three days and delayed until half a month later. During this, he and Lu Chun intrigued for several rounds before the new regulations were successfully promulgated.

The carriage stopped in front of Wu Zhen's house, and Wu Zhen stepped out of the carriage, looked around at the onlookers, and only bowed slightly towards them and walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, the first thing Wu Zhen saw was his beautiful and delicious wife Xiuqin, who was looking at him affectionately at this time. Wu Zhen came to his father and mother first, kowtowed a few times for the second elder, and then got up and came to his wife's side to ask for warmth and greet the situation at home for half a month.

Xiuqin is a good housekeeper, after Wuzhen entered the royal city, she has been running the family, so that the in-laws are very happy that their children have married a good wife.

"Leave me alone, Brother Wusheng and Brother Wuja are waiting in the hall, they are all in formation, saying that they want to get you drunk tonight, you have to drink less."

Xiuqin's words of concern made Wu Zhen's heart warm, and she gently stroked her face, and said with a smile: "I will definitely not drink too much, drinking too much 'misconduct'." ”

Wu Zhen deliberately accentuated the word "misconduct", Xiuqin naturally heard the meaning, blushed, muttered "hooligan" in a low voice, and went to the stove room to serve wine and food.

When they came to the hall, Zong Wusheng and the two had already sat down at the dining table, and when they saw Wuzhen entering the door, Zong Wusheng stood up and hugged his fists and congratulated: "Congratulations to the Wuzhen brothers on their success." ”

Seeing that Zong Wusheng was so polite, Wu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to take his hand and said, "Thanks to the blessing of Brother Wusheng, I must have a few more drinks with Brother Wusheng today." ”

Three rounds of drinking.

Zong Wusheng said suddenly: "Some time ago, I didn't have the opportunity to tell my brother about our intention, and today is when my brother is returning home to visit relatives, so I will tell you about the purpose of our visit to Changge this time." ”

Wu Zhen looked at Zong Wusheng and made a look of listening carefully, "There is no holy brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I opened a car manufacturing base in the country of Pilu, and I needed to buy a large amount of steel and carbon to refine steel, so I came to Changge country. I didn't expect to come here to learn that all the coal had been bought. Now it's really a blessing from heaven, the brother has become a waiter in the Ministry of Commerce, and he highly recommends the open-door sales plan, so he wants the Wuzhen brothers to help. ”

After hearing this, Wuzhen's solemn face soothed, and he said disapprovingly: "What should I do, this matter is easy to do, tomorrow you will go to Taierwa Coal Mine, take my approval to buy it, I can ask them to lower the price for you, as long as it can cover the cost." ”

Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia raised their glasses at the same time, "Then there is Brother Lao Wuzhen." At this point, Zong Wusheng's face suddenly became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing that needs the help of Brother Wuzhen. ”

Seeing that Zong Wusheng's face changed suddenly, Wu Zhen guessed that it might not be an easy thing to do, so he still spoke: "Brother Wusheng, don't be polite to me, if there is anything you order, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely incumbent on me." ”

"I sent two people to buy steel carbon, but I didn't hear from them for two months, so I wonder if they will buy steel carbon from the smuggled coal dealers and get caught. I hope that Brother Wuzhen will help inquire about this matter, if they are really arrested, see if there is a way to rescue them? ”

Wu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Brother Wusheng, please rest assured, I will send someone to inquire tomorrow, and immediately notify Brother Wusheng as soon as there is news." ”

"Good brother!" Zong Wusheng raised his glass again and praised: "This trip to Changge is not in vain, Brother Wuzhen is the fate of heaven, come, let's have another drink." ”

The three of them were drinking on Xingtou, and Xiuqin's voice came from outside the door of the hall: "Wuzhen, there is an old man visiting, you come out." ”

Wu really drank the excitement, thinking about what kind of old people he could have? It's not that you have become an official yourself, and some relationships that can't be beaten are looking for you to do things by yourself? Thinking of this, Wu Zhen said loudly: "Since he is an old man, invite him in, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be restrained." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the hall "creaked" open, and a man with a haggard face and a beard entered the door.

"Brother! Don't you recognize me the way I look now? ”

Wu Zhen hurriedly stood up, walked in front of the visitor, held his hand and said, "Ma Li, how could I not recognize you?" Come in and have a few drinks. ”

Ma Li was not polite, and sat down at the table and gobbled it up to himself, as if he were starving to death.

The three of them didn't speak, just quietly watched the horsepower sweeping eating appearance.

After he finished eating, Ma Li wiped the oil on his mouth, touched his round belly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten meat for almost a month, which makes the two eldest brothers from afar laugh." ”

Zong Wusheng responded with a smile, "It's not in the way, it's all your own people, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Ma Li withdrew his gaze from Zong Wusheng's face and looked at Wu Zhen Dao: "Brother wants to save our Ma family." ”

Wu Zhen replied simply: "Needless to say, follow me back to the royal city tomorrow, just drink tonight." ”
