"Then the prince is talking about it."

As soon as they heard that it was not such a thankless thing as the dismissal of officials, Xu Jin and Tian Gong suddenly became interested.

Even at this time, Zhao Chongyuan spoke: "You should tell me about it." ”

Not to mention anything else, just being able to solve the problem of post station expenses can save 2 million taels of silver for the treasury of Daqian every year.

And with this silver, he can do too much, let's just say that Zhao Ding is now reforming.

It is not enough to reform the Guozijian alone.

Because Zhou Xing's matter is already obvious.

This has already been discovered, but what if it hasn't?

Then his reforms are not completely a joke.

On the other hand, if there is a sum of money, he can build government schools in the local area and recruit some civilian children, so that these ordinary children will no longer be restricted by family conditions and cannot afford to study.

In this way, in less than 20 years, there will be a large number of children from poor families and commoners.

At that time, the only reliance on these newly promoted officials who had no support was his emperor.

And he can also make these officials from the civilian class and those from the noble clan now check and balance each other.

In this way, a supreme power structure of the imperial power can be built again.

Of course, at that time, he may no longer be there, but his successors can also use the power structure he built to perfectly implement the retribution in their hearts, instead of being restrained everywhere like him.

Think of those who come after you.

Zhao Chongyuan's gaze subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ding, who was already trying to organize the language at this time.

But Zhao Ding didn't notice this.

Instead, I was trying to think about some things about the postal service in my previous life.

After a while, he raised his head again and looked at the people present: "Father, my lords, this king thinks that now my great business and trade are prosperous, whether it is in the south or the north, there are commercial trade, if you can open a commercial purpose in the post station, deliver letters to the people, provide accommodation for business travelers, and provide storage for goods, then the money and grain collected by the court every year will not be more than one million!" ”

In fact, Zhao Ding didn't say a word.

That is, after waiting for the incident in Youzhou, especially after joining forces with Daliang to pit Dayu, after consuming a wave of Dayu's vital force, you can open up trade with Beiliang by taking advantage of the trend.

In this way, the amount of money and grain that can be used by the big cadres will at least double to triple the amount of money and grain that can be used by these officials into commercial post stations.

After all, compared with Daqian, the commercial trade of Beiliang was more prosperous.

The number of caravans that need to cross each year is even more numerous!

Other ministers may not understand this, but Zhao Chongyuan reacted instantly, and understood the meaning of Zhao Ding's words!

That is to open up the trade between Beiliang and Daqian!

But at the same time, he actually has a bit of a headache for businessmen.

Take today's Yingtian as an example, the entire Daqian is the most prosperous place, but the business is controlled by the rich and dignitaries who have been doing business for generations, and the people are at most sellers who walk the streets and alleys.

Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, wealthy families who have been doing business for generations, some of them have ways to evade taxes and make the court suffer.

For a long time, the court has been collecting commercial taxes, which is an extremely headache.

But that's a question for the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to open source first!

In exchange for space, as long as the time is extended, the treasury of the great cadres will be enriched first, and a new group of new classes will be added to the court of the great cadres, so that they can balance the current situation of the great cadres.

He and his successors will have enough strength to turn around and deal with these vested interests in front of them.

"You can also talk about your opinions, don't hide what you want to say, there should be shortcomings that can be pointed out, and there should be something wrong can also be put forward for discussion."

Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyuan raised his head and glanced at Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng, Tian Gong and Xu Jin who were present.

Among the four.

Except that Ye Liancheng is from a big family of scholars.

Yang Fu, Tian Gong, and Xu Jin were all promoted by the previous emperors from some relatively declining scholars.

Of course, because of these people.

The family behind these people has also shown signs of prosperity again over the years.

But none of that matters.

Because no matter how prosperous they are, they are all prosperous because of these people, and the foundation is shallow compared to Ye Liancheng's Ye family and Zhou Shan's Zhou family.

Therefore, for Yang Fu, Tian Gong, Xu Jin and the family behind the four, Zhao Chongyuan did not take it to heart.

At present, the most important thing is to weaken the Ye family as much as possible, and the Zhou family has had people who have been officials in the court for generations, and they are all high-powered scholar families.

As for why Ye Liancheng was called over.

That naturally also has the intention of appeasing the scholars, after all, a slap also needs to give a date to eat.

just took down Zhou Shan, and then squeezed out Ye Liancheng.

The Nashi clan will really rise up and rebel against him.

Ye Liancheng also seemed to be a little unsure of Zhao Chongyuan's thoughts, and he and Yang Furen glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were a little weird.

They are all the mainstays of the big cadres, so they can naturally see the meaning of Zhao Ding's suggestion, and they can also see the pros and cons of it.

It can even be said that there is some naivety and delusion.

Another half of the day passed.

After several people looked at each other again, Tian Gong groaned slightly, glanced at Zhao Ding with some apologies and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although what the prince said is beneficial to the country and the people, it is really wrong, the post station is set up by the imperial court and used to transmit military affairs, how can it be open to the people?" Once it is opened, there is no distinction between the government and the people, but it is easy to create trouble! ”

In fact, Tian Gong's words, this is not without purpose, the purpose of the post station is to transmit official documents, receive officials, if the people can use it to deliver letters and items, store goods, it will inevitably make the post station mixed.

At that time, if the confidential documents are stolen by the scouts of the enemy country, it will inevitably cause huge losses.

Zhao Chongyuan nodded, but did not express his position, but raised his head to look at Xu Jin and asked: "You are the head of the household department, in charge of money, you are the best at settling accounts, you are the best at calculating accounts, is this reform a good thing or a bad thing for the imperial court?" ”

Xu Jin smiled when he heard this: "The minister thinks that King Yan's method does have merit.

First of all, these post stations were set up by the imperial court, and all the carriages and horses, the repair of personnel houses, and the food of past officials all needed to be borne by the imperial court.

Not to mention that there are many inns that are vacant all year round.

In this case, the expenses incurred must still be borne by the imperial court, but if it is opened and used by the people, a certain fee can be charged, so that the post station does not need to be subsidized by the imperial court, and even if it is implemented properly, it can have a little surplus, and if this surplus is more, it can also feed back to the treasury.

As for what Lord Tian was worried about just now, the lower officials thought that it was not a matter of urgency, it was nothing more than to isolate the post station and set up a separate civilian area, so that the officials and the people would naturally be separated.

The loss of the letter also has a place to be held accountable.

The minister thought that this was a two-pronged thing. ”
