Chapter 667: Eldest Sun Wuji, You Are the Great Tang Pillar Stone

For Li Ke's strategy, the ministers thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong, the only problem was food, but the current Tang Dynasty is not short of food.

At present, there is no shortage of grain in Datang's annual grain output, and if Li Ke can buy 40 million stone of grain every year from Zhen Wax, Mule Kingdom, Jieri Dynasty, etc., then Datang is really not short of grain, in fact, not to mention these places, just Lingnan Road and Linyi These two places, if the existing land is used, the grain that can be transferred back to the mainland will exceed more than 10 million stones.

Since there is nothing wrong, it is natural that the decision was passed on the spot, and the next thing is the matter of Shangshu Province, and the six departments will arrange the next related work.

"By the way, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry can discuss the establishment of the Datang National Commercial Bank." Li Ke put forward another opinion.

"National Commercial Bank, can you elaborate on this Your Highness?" Duan Lun hurriedly asked.

"In fact, it is the same as ordinary commercial houses in the outside world, but there is one point, that is, the controlling shareholder of these commercial houses is the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, or the Tang Imperial Court, that is to say, it is a commercial house established in the name of the state."

"Usually, the imperial court will not give any commercial guidance to these firms, but the firms will hire excellent shopkeepers and heads of firms from the private sector in the form of monthly money, and then they will be responsible for managing the operation of the entire firm.

"However, these grades are more of a recognition of their status by the imperial court, and they do not have the same status as the courtiers for the time being." Li Ke said.

"The reason why the state commercial banks were established is because there are some things that are suitable for operating in the way of the state, which not only guarantees profits, but also ensures that these commercial banks can assume the responsibilities of the state when necessary, because private commercial banks will not operate at a loss in some aspects, but more often than not, even if they are at a loss, they must run certain industries, as long as they are useful to the whole country, which is the responsibility of the state."

"The reason why it operates separately, rather than directly under the jurisdiction of officials, is to avoid the problem of corruption caused by officials doing business directly. However, if the business is operated in a commercial manner alone, all the later commercial houses must have the same legal provisions to stipulate. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are responsible in this regard. Li Ke said.

Dou Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "......" No, this legal matter is a matter of the Criminal Department, what does it have to do with my Ministry of Rites?

Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department: "......"

"In addition, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, you can discuss the establishment of a separate Ministry of Commerce, because with the operation of commercial taxation, there are more and more commercial banks in the world, especially in the future, Datang has a lot of island development rights will be sold to private commercial banks, in this case, commercial jurisdiction is very necessary."

"In terms of the legal provisions for business, Datang is very lacking, although there are many officials in the Criminal Department, but the workload is still very large, and my personal suggestion is to set up a separate department. Functions are more subdivided. Li Ke said.

"Yes." Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and several other ministers spoke.

"Also...... The eldest grandson Sikong. Li Ke turned to the eldest grandson Wuji, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Your Highness." The eldest grandson saluted, but there was no problem on his face.

"I have a very important matter here, and I want you to be in charge." Li Ke said.

Eldest grandson Wuji: "? ”

He was stunned for a moment, he was in charge? Although it is said that the relationship between him and King Qin has eased a lot after a drink during the Chinese New Year last year, Li Ke is not there for most of this year, and there are many conflicts between their eldest grandson and Li Ke before.

But now Li Ke suddenly came up with an important matter, which made the eldest grandson Wuji a little puzzled. Is there a catch? If it's really something important, he'll look for himself? Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng and other ministers, Li Ke's priority is definitely higher than him.

"Your Highness, please speak." There are all kinds of doubts in his heart, but on the surface, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely not show it.

"I personally suggest that at the beginning of each year, a working meeting of the Tang Dynasty will be held, and officials from all over the Tang Dynasty will come to Chang'an to report on relevant work, or this meeting can be held once every two years, and you can decide and refer to it. If the local officials are unable to come, then the deputies come, but there is always a person who comes to convene the meeting. ”

"And this meeting usually lasts a few days, and I suggest that its content be made public through the Datang Weekly."

"The main topics for discussion, I have formulated the following."

"It is mainly divided into a review of the work of the past year and the past five years."

"In the past year, for example, how much the country's tax revenue has increased, how much the country's population has grown, how much the country's arable land has grown."

"Count the particularly poor counties, prefectures, and townships in the country, and then see if we can't think of some ways to improve the living conditions of the local people."

"Statistics on the national grain production in the last year, and whether the grain output in the past five years has improved."

"Statistics on anti-corruption achievements in the past year, etc."

"There is also an outlook on the main expected goals for this year or the next two years."

"How much does the tax revenue increase in the country, how much does the tax revenue increase in various places, the arable area of the people in various places, the income of the people, whether the population is growing, the grain output in various places, etc."

"The output of important industries can also be counted and predicted, such as steel production."

"There are also suggestions for the work of the imperial court government this year, from government investment, that is, state-owned commercial banks, disease prevention, population growth and other policies, the arrangement of key industries such as artisan manufacturing, and the relevant progress and restrictions of private commercial banks. Recommendations for impoverished counties and townships. There are also social security issues such as education, medical care, and retired government soldiers. ”

Li Ke said seriously, "I hope you can be responsible for these things, as the pillar of Datang, your ability is beyond doubt, and only Sikong can be responsible for these tasks." ”

Fang Xuanling next to him moved his ass to the side silently, this is ...... Forget it, there are too many things in the six departments on my side, and I'm almost exhausted, so it's good to let the eldest grandson Sikong be in charge.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, he looked at Li Ke a little confused, he thought that Li Ke had found him a thankless job, but after Li Ke finished speaking, he found that ...... It's a really important thing.

Don't look at Li Ke just asking him to organize this meeting and formulate the content to be discussed in this meeting, but formulating the meeting itself is a very big right! And Li Ke gave him this right!

What's going on?! The eldest grandson Wuji was completely stunned.
