Chapter 305: The Power is in Place

The Taiping Mansion gathered in the public hall of the government office.

Zhang Anshi directly handed over the newly released will to the people.

When everyone saw it, they were all shocked.

"Grandpa, isn't this the same as Kaifu Yi and the three divisions?" Li Zhaomo was dumbfounded.

The so-called opening of the government is actually understandable, and the three divisions of Yitong are actually given the treatment of the three dukes.

And the reason why the three divisions are the same is that in the Han Dynasty, the three dukes were the real three dukes.

They are veritable prime ministers, with the power to decide on the promotion of officials and directly handle government affairs.

There are even quite a few people who work directly in their own mansions.

"That's not right." Gao Xiang immediately interrupted: "This mansion is not for the grandfather. โ€

He paused, and then said, " This is obviously fought for by hundreds of officials for Ning Guofu, and the grandfather just went to make up the number. โ€

As soon as Gao Xiang said this, some people woke up.

yes, that's it...... It can't be said that Wei Guogong got the privilege of opening the mansion, after all, this matter is relatively taboo, and it is very disadvantageous to Wei Guogong.

Anyway, it was fought for by the righteous coalition, and it seems that the fact is the same, as for our grandfather, didn't he just hit the muzzle?

So Li Zhaomo said: "Grandpa, I see, it's better to play and resign, what does Grandpa think, Grandpa doesn't have to care, but Grandpa still shirks and shows his heart." โ€

Zhang Anshi actually can't understand this operation, so it stands to reason...... He did not ask for it.

As for the righteousness who wants this?

Okay, Zhang Anshi can't understand Jian Yi's inner world, but Jian Gong wants to make trouble with hundreds of officials, to be honest, he is very bold, and it seems that he is also a ruthless person.

Zhang Anshi said." Forget about resignation, who doesn't know me Zhang Anshi. โ€

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said: "What's more, Your Majesty Shengming has always understood me, and he can't be hypocritical." โ€

Everyone..." โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Zhao Tuiguan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Actually, what Grandpa said is right, Grandpa dares to accept it, and Grandpa has nothing to bear." What's more, so many ministers suddenly played, and we are officials ourselves, don't we know what kind of way is here? Among these people, how can they fight for this for Jian Gong without being instructed? After all, Jian Gong seems to be fair and strict, but in my opinion, he is only afraid of ...... It's also unworthy of the name, selfish. โ€

Everyone nodded.

Yes, judging from all kinds of operations, this must be a righteous hand, anyway, they can be excluded from their grandfather first, not that their grandfather doesn't have this heart, but he doesn't have this ability.

can mobilize hundreds of officials to play, and can also pass it one-sidedly in the court meeting, which is what the grandfather can do?

Zhao Tuiguan continued: "Your Majesty wants to come, and it is a last resort, but I have given Gong Jian such great power, for a bowl of water to be level, and also to balance Gong Jian, which is why our grandfather has made up this number." In my opinion, that grandfather is the main room, and our grandfather is at most, and he is just a dowry girl. โ€

Such an analysis is very reasonable, and everyone is relieved, and they say: "Yes, yes, it seems that it should be so." โ€

Zhang Anshi's face changed, and he coughed: "Don't talk about these fucking things, what kind of dowry girl, what kind of main room, above the court, what it looks like!"

Gao Xiang stood up with a smile and reprimanded everyone. All quiet, quiet, listen to the grandfather's orders, the old man will open a scene first, now the news, everyone has seen it, since it is His Majesty's trust, how can we not do our best? What the grandfather means here is that we are deeply favored by the emperor, and we should go all out, so that we can do our best, and then die, so as not to be in vain Your Majesty's kindness. โ€

Zhang Anshi said." Yes, that's what it means, keep in mind kindness. โ€

Then everyone became serious: "What Grandpa said is very true. โ€

Zhang Anshi said: "In this case, we can't waste Your Majesty's trust, this blow to the White Lotus Sect must be deepened, and we can't be superficial like before." โ€

Gao Xiang immediately said: "Yes, the White Lotus Sect is becoming more and more secretive now, and it can't be indulged like this, Grandpa's deepening sentence is too good." โ€

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Anshi said." So now, do three things first, one of them, the industrial and commercial area, can no longer be like before, that is, can not be free-range, according to my opinion, Qixia and the three counties, all set up an industrial park, planning and leveling the land, all the facilities, are built, all the settled businessmen and workshops, can give some tax reductions and exemptions, the counties should also transfer a group of shrewd and capable, in this park, set up a directly subordinate county order business hall, specifically to supervise these things. โ€

Gao Xiang and the others listened and began to chew.

They have become accustomed to the fast-paced way of working in the house, where they meet to discuss things, then find the person in charge, and finally move the work forward.

Gao Xiang could probably comprehend Zhang Anshi's intentions, but he couldn't seem to have figured it out, but had to pretend that he didn't understand.

So Gao Xiang said: "Grandpa's move, is there any deep meaning?" โ€

Zhang Anshi waited for Gao Xiang to take over, and then said: "There are several advantages, that is, the workshops everywhere, if they are scattered everywhere, on the one hand, there may be some contradictions between the townships, these contradictions breed, and it is not easy for officials to mediate, and it is much easier to do things when they gather in one place." Second, it is a problem of management, some of the township officials are only good at agriculture, and some only have a better understanding of the local countryside, but they have insufficient understanding of workshops and business, and it is not easy to communicate and manage. โ€

"When we get to the industrial park, it's easy to do, let's train a group of people, let them deal with the workshops and businessmen full-time, the government's intentions for industry and commerce, the collection of finance and taxes, this part, they are full-time, of course, they are familiar with the heart. In the future, it will be convenient to collect taxes, and the situation of merchants and workshops can also be responded to in a timely manner. โ€

Zhang Anshi continued: "If there is a gathering of workshops, roads and canals, as well as bridges and other facilities to facilitate trade and production, it will also save money. How much does it cost? โ€

Everyone nodded their heads.

Zhang Anshi said." However, the most important thing is that a group of capable officials must be dispatched to settle in these places, so that these people must be energetic, discerning, and decisive, and all counties must report people to me, and I will finalize the candidates with Gao Shaoyin, Li Zhaomo, and Zhao Tuiguan. The chief official of this business hall is also the businessman, and it is set as the seventh grade. โ€

As soon as they listened to the seven products, many people looked beautiful.

Wuhu County Ling Zhou Zhan took the lead and couldn't help but say: "Isn't it too high from the seventh grade?" Ordinary treasurer, secretary...... It's just nine products or from nine products. โ€

Zhang Anshi said: "It still needs to be set higher, if not...... Many things are not easy to coordinate, and things cannot be pushed forward. โ€

And the people were speechless.

Gao Xiang said: "Actually, my grandfather's move is also a last resort, everyone should be considerate." Not to mention the rest, this year's business tax, we have collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and more in the coming year, accounting for more than half of our government expenses, it can be seen that this is the most important thing, to the meaning of the seven products, that is, there are too many affairs involved in industry and commerce, docks, roads, and land need to be considered, if the official position is not high, it is inconvenient to negotiate with other government offices. โ€

Zhang Anshi said." Gao Shaoyin's words are what I mean. โ€

Gao Xiang said with a red face: "Then according to the lower officials, there must be someone in our government to supervise the affairs of industry and commerce." โ€

Zhang Anshi groaned: "Let's discuss this later, I think about it, I will take care of this matter for the time being." โ€

Immediately, Zhang Anshi said: "In addition, the government will also build an engineering college." โ€

Some people couldn't help but be surprised." Institute? โ€

Zhang Anshi said with a serious expression: "Yes, it is Guozixue who follows suit, hiring teachers, doctors, teaching assistants, as well as doctors, teaching assistants of various subjects, etc., and paying salaries." In my opinion, the head of this academy is set to be the fourth grade, the doctor of the academy is the fifth grade, and the assistant teacher of the academy is the sixth grade. Then there are various departments, such as alchemy, smelting, machinery, and medicine, and there are also doctors in separate disciplines, which are the seventh grade, the teaching assistant is the eighth grade, and the hired lecturer is the ninth grade. โ€

"All in all, pay salaries, and at the same time...... As a consultant in the government office, you can consult the government office when it comes to engineering affairs in the future. Not only that, but if they have any ideas, they can also apply for money and food to give them some support. โ€

At this moment, Gao Xiang, who was full of red light, was also a little stunned.

This...... Inevitably, the treatment is too grand, and the highest is the fourth grade, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades are flying all over the sky.

Although he knew that this was just an official body and a treatment, it was really scary.

"This ......," Gao Xiang finally couldn't help it. Is it too generous? โ€

Zhang Anshi said calmly ยท It doesn't matter, it's not easier for them to do scholarship than it is for us to govern the people, and I discussed this matter with Your Majesty at the beginning, and Your Majesty did not object. โ€

Zhang Anshi said: "This is called a brave man under the heavy reward, to teach people to know, to do real learning, not only to earn money, but also to be an official, some people may think so, but everyone think about it, just smelting, the same furnace of steel, there was a skilled craftsman at the beginning, improved the furnace, to save us more than 100 catties of coal per furnace of steel, this day, dozens of furnaces, how much coal can be saved?" How much is it in a year? If you are stingy when you should give a reward, who will bother to think about it? โ€

"I've heard that Qixia now has a lot of idle readers, what about them...... The imperial examination is hopeless, but the eyes are low, but the daily idleness, I just want to teach these people to know, in our Qixia, no, in the Taiping Mansion, I don't care if he is a farmer or a businessman, who has made a fucking contribution to our Taiping Mansion, who is superior, if not...... It doesn't matter how many books you read on weekdays and what articles you can do, then squat aside for me and don't get in the way. โ€

Gao Xiang and the others thought about it, thought about it, and said: "What the grandfather did in the past, the officials didn't understand it at first, but then they knew the magic and wanted to come to this engineering college, probably the same, this is the grandfather's idea, and the officials will try it." โ€

Zhang Anshi said." Of course, it is not all at once that people are allowed to be professors and doctors, as well as teaching assistants, first from the various departments, select some lecturers and teaching assistants, these are all eight or nine products, if there is a great contribution in the future, or someone is more sophisticated in their studies, and then promoted. โ€

"What's more, the imperial court gives officials, and they are allowed to see officials and not worship each other, but after all, they don't let them have any authority, they just teach them to teach some students and cultivate some talents for us."

Naturally, everyone was speechless.

It's not that everyone is compromised, and everything is arranged by Zhang Anshi.

In fact, these people are all officials, and they all know that the quality of the Taiping Mansion is related to their net worth and life.

If the Taiping Mansion is thriving, they will inevitably rise in the future, but if something goes wrong in the Taiping Mansion, they will not only be able to recover, but also will be left behind for 10,000 years.

In fact, they have been stinking for 10,000 years, and in Shilin, everyone may just say a word of luck to Zhang Anshi. It's probably the treatment of Wei Qing in the Han Dynasty, everyone admits that you Zhang Anshi is really powerful, but didn't you start by relying on the emperor's relatives?

But for Gao Xiang and these people, the scholars of Shilin are all gritting their teeth, and they just want to eat their flesh raw.

After all, if Zhang Anshi is a heretic, then Gao Xiang and others are heretics, scum and traitors among scholars.

If you really think something is inappropriate, everyone dares to expose it, not to mention Zhang Anshi's character, if you don't have one heart, he will definitely put you to death, but if you have one heart and do things with all your heart, even if you have any doubts, even if Zhang Anshi slaps the table urgently, he will never retaliate.

Now everyone has a very thorough understanding of the grandfather's temperament.

Zhang Anshi said." There is another one, of course, which is just a small matter, which is to clean up the various bazaars and commercial streets, of course, not to teach people to disturb the merchants, but to clean up the streets. A few days ago, I saw the sewage flowing in the market of Qixia, and the garbage was flying all over the sky, and the flow of people there was indeed large, but it couldn't be like this, this matter had to be supervised, and it had to be spotless, and after some time, the Shaoyin Hall would send someone to check. โ€

After roughly finalizing some matters, Zhang Anshi dismissed the meeting.

Everyone has written down what Zhang Anshi said, and if it involves his own duties, he will immediately go back to his office to assign it, and those who do not involve his own responsibilities are also busy with the duties at hand.

As for the candidates for the division of the three county industrial parks.

In fact, Zhang Anshi has already had a draft.

The next day, three people appeared in front of Zhang Anshi.

Their faces were haggard, their expressions were slightly tired, and they were very ashamed to salute Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "How is it, I heard that the paper-making workshop has made some improvements." โ€

These three people are Kuang Dian, Wang Wenluo and Zhang Youcheng, who were thrown away by Zhang Anshi in the papermaking workshop.

Kuang Mat smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed to say that although there are some small profits, I can only barely support it." โ€

"What's the reason?" Zhang Anshi stared at him.

Kuang mat said: "There are three reasons, one is the scale, now on the market, the demand for paper is indeed very high, but some workshops, but have begun to increase the scale, this scale has increased, so that they have spread the cost, the price is more advantageous than ours." โ€

"Why are you expanding production?"

"At the beginning, we have already lost money, but my grandfather has added a hole to us, so I am afraid that we will expand production again, and if we lose money at that time, I will not be able to live with my grandfather."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I don't think it's just this reason, even if there is no such thing, let you really take the silver to expand the scale, you don't have the courage to do it, after all, ...... This involves their own net worth and life, and many people will still choose to be rich and secure, and only those who are decisive or ambitious will be willing to gamble. โ€

"What Grandpa said is very true."

Zhang Anshi said again: "What else is the reason? โ€

"There is also a large flow of craftsmen, and now there is a shortage of labor, and the matter of digging craftsmen happens from time to time."

Zhang Anshidao ยท What about other than that? โ€

"Insufficient promotion." Wang Wenluo said on the side: "It's also my fault, I am responsible for going out to negotiate with people, most of them are some old customers, and these old customers are very cunning, they often deliberately ask students and several other paper mills to talk about business together, and they have to keep the price of the paper mill to the minimum." โ€

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, " Looks like you still can't pull off your skin!"

The three of them looked ashamed.

Zhang Anshi said." From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to worry about the paper mill. โ€

"This ......" The three of them were stunned, a little reluctant.

To be honest, it was not easy to straighten out the affairs of the paper mill and wanted to be ashamed, and after a year of operation, I also had some feelings.

"Do you know that the Taiping Mansion levies a business tax?"

Kuang mat said: "Don't you know!"

Zhang Anshidao ยท What do you guys think? โ€

"With so great a profit from industry and commerce, how can there be any reason not to collect taxes?"

Zhang Anshi said." Yes, excise tax, in the future...... It must be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, but I am ...... Where to find someone who can communicate with the merchants, understand the habits of the merchants, deal with them, understand their difficulties, but know their cunning nature. And these people need to be upright and will never be in the same league with them. It's hard, it's hard......"

The three of them are fools, but they actually understand what they mean.

At this time, Guang Kuang mat seemed to understand something, and when he was working against Zhang Anshi, maybe Zhang Anshi did not blame them from the beginning, but admired their integrity.

That's why they were arranged to go to the paper mill, the essence of which was to let the three of them get in touch with industry and commerce......

If this is the case, then this Wei Guogong will be too terrible.

Zhang Anshi smiled again: "You should know about this year's commercial tax situation, and its proportion will become larger and larger in the future." The Taiping Mansion is to set an example for the whole world, which is the precedent for the introduction of commercial taxes, starting from the Taiping Mansion and implementing the world since then. In the future, the tax of industry and commerce will become the pillar of the imperial court, so the imperial court is bound to attach importance to industry and commerce, which is the way to enrich the people after teaching the military and the people to fill their stomachs. โ€

"Therefore, Taiping Mansion is now in urgent need of talents to understand industry and commerce, I thought about it, and I thought of you, now the three counties of Wuhu, to build an industrial and commercial park, set up three business halls, these three chief officials, in fact, the official position is not high, but only from the seven products, for you at the beginning, it is really inconspicuous. But this matter is very important, and I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to someone else, and ...... These three people are also needed, and in the future, they can use these three industrial and commercial parks to train a group of capable clerks, and if you are interested, I can give an order. โ€

The three of them looked at each other.

Zhang Anshi said." Why, don't dare? โ€

Wang Wenluo smiled bitterly: "Why do you bother to use such a clumsy agitation method. โ€

Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm used to deceiving children." Ahem...... Let's ask the three of you to put aside your past suspicions with me and do what you can for the military and people of this Taiping Mansion. โ€

In fact, Wang Wenluo and the three of them can be Zhongjinshi, and they have already proved that their IQ is far beyond ordinary people, and after some ups and downs in the sea, they also know a little about the affairs of the world. After experiencing the operation of the paper mill, I have a better understanding of the people's sentiments and the situation of industry and commerce.

They probably faintly felt that the Taiping Mansion had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes under Zhang Anshi's governance.

At this time, there was no enmity between each other, Zhang Anshi also sincerely invited, and Wang Wenluo took the lead and said: "The student is willing to obey." โ€

After Kuang Mat and Zhang Youcheng looked at each other, they also hugged their fists. May it be driven. โ€

"That's very good." Zhang Anshi was overjoyed, and said happily ยท That way I'm relieved, haha...... You rest for a few days, and then go to work in a few days. At first, the conditions may not be very good, but ...... Bear with it, and you'll get better slowly. By the way, let's have a light lunch here at noon, I still have a lot to tell. โ€

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law...... Where do we start? โ€

Zhang Anshi said." Learn slowly, all in all, it's fun, and don't be too happy then. โ€

Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang was even more excited.

Dozens of teenagers in the back were also gearing up one by one.

They arrived at this mysterious workshop, which was walled and guarded by sentry posts.

Xu Jingchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was looking forward to what kind of sharp thing would be behind the high wall.

At this time, Zhang Anshi saidยท In this place, I don't allow other idle people to come on weekdays, only my own family, I am willing to put it in, otherwise, once something is leaked, it will be a disaster. โ€

"Brother-in-law...... Don't worry, we're all righteous people. โ€

"I know you're angry." Zhang Anshi arrived in front of the doorway and pointed: "Let's go, please first." โ€

Xu Jingchang and the others couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in one after another.

Inside...... Dozens of craftsmen looked at the teenager who rushed in at this time.

Then...... The door slammed shut.

Soon, Xu Jingchang's terrible yelling came from inside: "Brother-in-law...... What's up, what's going on? โ€

Zhang Anshi was outside the high wall, looked at a few speechless sentries in front of the door, and explained. Don't go in and out, you can come out in three months, show me strictly, tell the master inside, if you should beat, you will scold, don't be polite to them! These stinky boys, they are not good people on weekdays, they are idle, they should have been cured a long time ago, if they don't learn well, I have to clean them up. โ€

"No."
