Chapter 425: Invading Profits

The inner treasury was first built during the reign of Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, it was only to store the wealth obtained from pacifying Shu and prepare to be used for military expenditure during the attack on Liao. Zhao Kuangyi defeated Liao and was defeated miserably. But why did the inner treasury still expand?

The current internal warehouse not only manages the exchange of money cloth, but also manages the Maritime Warehouse Department, especially the income from the incense. In addition, there is also the gold, silver and copper in the pit mine, which is also under the control of the internal warehouse, because it is critical to the power of minting money.

This is a secret.

In fact, the Song Dynasty system first came from Chai Rong. Chai Rong's Later Zhou governing model was the prototype of Zhao Kuangyin's governing model. Then Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu made some modifications. But it was actually improved in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi. It was not until the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song that it was fully mature.

The biggest move was Zhao Kuangyi.

What kind of model does Zhao Kuangyi want?

That is the ideal Ming Dynasty model mentioned by many people in later generations. Even if the emperor ignores the government for decades, the country will still operate and will not cause treacherous ministers to harm the country. Whether the Ming Dynasty system is so perfect is that people who are loyal and righteous are righteous.

In this way, even if one or two foolish monarchs emerged from the Song Dynasty, the country would not perish.

With this idea, the strange political model of the Song Dynasty could be understood.

Therefore, power is decentralized and restrained, including the imperial power itself. For example, if the edict is enfeoffed and refuted, neither edict can be passed.

But in this way, Zhao Kuangyi was also a little worried, so he expanded the internal treasury and gave the imperial power some free financial management power. Trying to use this to increase the strength of the imperial power without affecting his idea.

It was precisely based on this idea that Zhao Kuangyi later exchanged for prime ministers so frequently.

However, because of the nature of the in-house library, Wang Jucai said that it would be difficult for him to re-draw the paintings in the future.

In this life, Wang Ju entered the political situation of the Song Dynasty. He also understood more and understood why the Bricks said that Zhao Xu was also a participant in the reform.

I understood why Zhao Xu wanted to reform and continued to use Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo. With Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo would also go down soon.

Of course, Wang Anshi stopped his preface for the second time, and there was almost no one, or he hadn't seen the brick family tell the truth, that was a secret. A secret related to... power tricks!

The supplementary paintings mentioned by Wang Ju were at that time.

If Wang Ju could do one or two major things in recent years, although he could not serve as prime minister at that time, he could officially enter the center of power and could "replenish the paintings".

However, Zhao Xu said that he would change the military weapon to the Military Weapon Department, which made Wang Ju a little worried.

Why do you say this? It is because after Zhao Xu saw his memorial on reforming military weapon supervision, he felt that the rights of military weapon supervision were too concentrated. This is not important. It is mainly deprived of the internal warehouse of the right to store military weapons. It is equivalent to further weakening the imperial power in disguise. Zhao Xu was a little reluctant. So he tactfully took retreat as advance, implying that he had made a mobilization of the contents of this memorial. It is not that he was worried about himself, but that he was worried about weakening the internal warehouse of the rights...

I can’t blame Zhao Xu for being influential, I really can’t explain clearly.

You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be wary of others. Are you wrong?

Zhao Xu could understand this idea. However, when a new problem came, Wang Anshi's reform needed Zhao Xu to support him with all his strength. If he made up for the painting, Zhao Xu also needed all his strength to support him.

But Zhao Xu has this mentality, it will be very difficult to make up for the painting.

"It's so difficult," Wang Judao.

Speaking of the internal storage, someone on the other side also began to take action on the internal storage.

The Regulation Department wrote: The silver and copper pits are smelted, and the goods of the market are all offered, and the expenses are out of various routes, so the transshipment officer is unwilling to do it, and the courses are lost. Now that the shipping department uses money and goods to transfer money and use the wealth of the six routes, the east and west funds should be determined. Please order the shipping envoy, and the deputy also holds the nine routes of silver and copper and tin pits to smelted. The matters of the market are smelted, and the interests of the traffic are heard.

The Yintongkeng Mine and the Maritime Warehouse Department were originally owned by the internal warehouse, but the internal warehouse and the Sansi Finance Department were divided into the financial resources. This income belonged to the income from the internal warehouse, but the expenses, such as freight and smelting expenses were allocated to the Sixth Road (the Yintongkeng Maritime Warehouse Department of the Song Dynasty was mainly in the south and was most involved with the Sixth Road in the south), so various transport envoys were unwilling to act. Therefore, the Registration Department wrote that since the court had used the money and goods of the Shipping Department to mobilize the sixth road's wealth power to the Shipping Department, this area must also be managed well, so the Shipping Department must be given the rights to ninth road silver copper and tin control pits and Maritime Warehouse Department.

This memorial may not be from the Regulation Department. Wang Ju left the Regulation Department, and Lu Huiqing had to leave the Regulation Department. Wang Anshi then used Dr. Taichang, the Secret Pavilion essay, Li Chang, the former Xuzhou sergeant, and the Imperial College Supervisor Wang Ruyi was the official in charge of the detailed text. The chief of the palace was dismissed from Zhang Fuli, and the former Mingzhou sergeant, Li Xiezhi was the official in charge of the interests of the minister.

However, Li and Wang were very repulsive of Wang Anshi's reform. As for the two interests of the two officials Zhang Fuli and Li Zhi, they were both small people and had less power, so they would not say such things.

Therefore, it was mostly done by Xue Xiang, and then Wang Anshi submitted a report to the court under the name of the Ordinance Department.

The sixth route in the southeast refers to Liangzhe Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan East and West Roads, and Jinghu North and North Roads. However, Huainan Road was divided into two, and Liangzhe Roads were divided and then merged.

According to the report, Zhao Xu issued an edict that the southeast would benefit the country, and the merchants would also be one of them. In the past, Liu secretly occupied Zhejiang and was rich in his own territory, and the outside was able to resist China. He also obtained the skills of the sea merchants. He should create the law and not only gain profits in the year, but also allow foreign vassals to scatter China, which is also a spectacular event.

The imperial edict sent Xue Xiang and Luo Ji, deputy envoy of Shipping, promoted all pit mines and markets on Jianghuai, Liangzhe, Jinghu, Fujian and Guangnan Jiulu.

…………

"Mr. Xue is very powerful this time." Zhang Ruoshui said.

Wang Ju must have no idea about Zhang Ruoshui in his previous life, but since the arch of the divine arm came out, the two of them fought several times.

After talking, Wang Ju learned about some of Zhang Ruoshui's situation. This eunuch also had a long time in the military. He had joined the army as a military horse when he was pacified. He also held a military post in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Zhang Ruoshui's attitude towards Wang Ju was both awe and close.

After all, the environment in Qingzhou is very complicated, and Zhang Ruoshui knows that what Wang Ju does is not easy.

So Wang Ju suggested that Zhang Ruoshui let the hand tools and armor be stored.

This edict was quite sensational.

It is also a dispute over the law of equal-to-distance. Some say that the law of equal-to-distance has not been successful. Some say that the law of equal-to-distance has been implemented. In fact, it refers to Xue Xiangti’s 9th Route. After this edict, the rights of pit smelting, tea alum, wine tax, money supervision, shipbuilding, hiring and chariot transportation were concentrated in the hands of the shipping department.

However, contrary to Wang Anshi's original intention, Wang Anshi wanted to interfere in the Beijing commerce, but failed.

But Xue Xiang did a good job. He had colluded with the whole family of canal transportation and asked the cargo ship to sink in the wind and fill his private bags. It was difficult to investigate. So Xue Xiang concentrated the financial power and transported the passenger ships and the official ships separately. They were prosecuted by Wang Ju's horse raising method, part of which was to be raised by the people, part of which was the supervision of the pastoral supervision, and compared each other, forcing officials not to be too greedy.

Xue Xiang's financial management and Wang Shao's opening of the border are the most successful places in the reform, but... this is also the most speechless thing about Wang Ju against Wang Anshi.

In fact, what Wang Anshi said about reducing expenses and increasing income is not counted. That is what Xue Xiang did. It is the real increase in income and reducing income.

But after Wang Ju thought about it, he laughed a little secretly. It seemed that Xue Xiang didn't trust the government much.

So if Wang Anshi enforces the Market Change Law, can the two not have conflicts?

However, it also shows that Zhao Xu is still trying his best to support Wang Anshi, or he supports the reform itself. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give up so many of the original rights and incomes of the warehouse.

But this means that Wang Anshi will also face greater constraints, and the first wave of constraints will be accompanied by opposition like tsunami...

"This is normal. Although Xue Xiang held a lot of financial power, he was not as rich as the three officials. With the ability of Mr. Xue, even if he was the envoy of the Three Officials, it would be enough."

"He was only born in Eun-Ying in the end."

"Zhang Du knows, if this is the case, why do I recommend you? Is it because you have a resume in Qingzhou?" It is precisely because of Wang Ju's recommendation that Zhang Ruoshui became the deputy envoy of the military weapon supervisor and the military weapon treasury envoy, that is, from the beginning, the military weapon supervisor was actually divided into two. Zhang Ruoshui became the number one figure of the military weapon army and the second person in the military weapon supervisor.

"Then, that..."

"I value your talents, not your personal relationship. If I use personal relationships, the government will not value me." Wang Judao.

But this old eunuch is indeed capable. When the Divine Arm Bow was just completed, Zhao Xu asked Guards to test, first test the arm strength requirements and range, just like Wang Ju's test shot that day. Finally, he tested the actual power, so he placed the iron armor outside seventy steps. It was not two hundred steps and three hundred steps, it was the maximum range, not the effective range.

Let the guard shoot first, but no one shot the iron armor. Zhang Ruoshui had no choice but to shoot himself and make a series of tricks. For the Divine Arm Bow, seventy steps were a terrible range, and each arrow almost penetrated the iron armor pierced. But on the other hand, it also shows that the old eunuch's arm strength was stronger than the Wang Ju's arm strength.

Now Zhang Ruoshui not only has become the second-in-command of military weapons supervision, but also cooperates with Wang Ju's reform and management, but also is responsible for continuing to develop and improve the Divine Arm Bow.

A person with great ability is at least no less capable than Ouyang Xiu.

"Zi'an, you're ashamed of our family," Zhang Ruoshui said, actually he still liked it very much.

"Zhang Du knows that Taizu and Zhao Pu's grandson said that Qi people were people, and their mentors wanted to have a well field, but in fact, they were equal to giving everyone a chance, so the conflict would not intensify. The same principle is, a good background will certainly give people a good starting point, but if people from poor backgrounds work hard and the court does not discriminate against them, they can also give people a favor. What I mean by the fact is not to be glorious and wealthy, but to make achievements and share the worries of the officials. What kind of kindness, eunuchs, peasants, craftsmen and merchants, as long as they have this heart, they are all good people of my Song Dynasty."

"Zi'an has such a high vision..." Zhang Ruoshui was quite moved.

But it was just moved that the eunuch was very sad in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Zemao's later actions were earth-shaking in the Song Dynasty.

As the two were talking, a yellow gate came in and said, "Empress Wang, Your Majesty summoned you to Yanhe Palace to join us."

"Here."

Wang Ju followed the little yellow gate to Yanhe Palace.

There are dozens of ministers, two governments, two systems, the Censorate, and some other department officials.

Wang Ju bowed and said, "See Your Majesty."

"No gifts, flattery."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Ju straightened his body and glanced at the officials. Fu Bi was out, Chen Xu was up, and Wang Anshi recommended the one who was promoted. After Chen Xu took office, Wang Anshi saw the true face of this person.

Wang Anshi's employment... Wang Ju sighed in his heart. It's really a big problem.

"Wang Qing, how about Jingyang's courtyard?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Jingyang School of Works was invented, and now it is barely starting to produce..." Wang Ju frowned and came to the capital. There were many things to do, including Jingyang School of Works. Although Zhao Xu approved it, it was delayed. The rivers immediately froze, which affected the production of the equipment. It can only be said that there is one advantage, because it is delayed and there is no need to embezzle much money.

"Wang Ju, Zheng Baiqu has nearly 50,000 troops stationed in Zheng Baiqu. Everyone has changed their armor. The funds are amazing. Can the internal treasury be satisfied?" Wen Yanbo asked.

Originally, the revenue from the in-house warehouse increased, including cotton from Guangnan and sugar that is about to come out.

But because Xue Xiang suggested that the pit mine, cotton, and the Maritime Shipping Department were handed over to the shipping department.

It is actually equivalent to dividing the income from the warehouse into the national treasury income.

Zhao Xu actually agreed.
