Chapter 433 Tacit understanding

Just as Cheng Hao took the first step, Lu Gongya suddenly coughed. Cheng Hao turned his head, and Lu Gongya shook his head gently.

In fact, Lu Gongzhu also saw the impeachment memorial written by Cheng Hao.

There are only a few impeachments. There is no way to impeach it. Wang Ju spent a lot of money and built all the houses of blue bricks and tiles. Could it be that these craftsmen can still live in villas? However, they eat too poorly, even the amount of charcoal and charcoal for heating is very small, and each household only pays a few kilograms a day. However, Ye Mo said it very clearly on the first day that you can't survive. Only then can you be brave and make a big fuss in Xuande Gate. What else can you pick on?

Next was the soldiers escorted the custody, but there were so many people on that day, and they were a group of trouble. How could they not send soldiers to guard the custody? Besides, the emperor agreed.

Cheng Hao's last article was not tenable, saying that Wang Ju forced nearly ten thousand people to move to the wilderness, with yellow reeds flying around and magpies crying sadly, as if they were prisons outside the border.

The house more than twenty miles outside the Xicheng Gate was built on a mound, with a salt-alkali land below, with Jinshui River to the south and a swamp reed land to the east. There may be some wild birds screaming, but Lu Gongye didn't look at it, but he sent his servants to see it. It was almost deserted around, but the problem was that Wang Ju did not restrict the freedom of the craftsmen!

When they came, they distributed poor charcoal and dried squash, and no one cared about it when they left.

But here is the wonder.

It is OK to walk, outside the city, there are a total of about 30 miles, and it will take nearly a day to get relief food in the morning and then go to work in the city. It is impossible.

So in just a few days, only six or seven hundred craftsmen were holding on. I think it wouldn't take long.

Of course, if you have to be picky about this kind of behavior, you can still put a few big hats on Wang Ju. Even from Cheng Hao, he led the Censorate to attack him later. Although he couldn't defeat Wang Ju, the court attacked him in groups, and some people would be braver and the matter became bigger and bigger. In the end, Wang Ju could not end. He would still go down in shame!

However, Mr. Lu still felt inappropriate.

Until Cheng Hao stood up to prepare for impeachment, Lu Gongya looked at Wang Ju behind him, which was a little far away. However, before Lu Gongya was dizzy, he still saw the sarcasm at the corner of Wang Ju's mouth that Lu Gongya suddenly woke up.

All the problems are not these craftsmen, but outside the craftsmen.

Is it so important to be a real craftsman? There are so many poor people in the world, and who is paying attention to it again?

Behind the craftsmen are the officials in the military weapon supervision. Cheng Hao’s impeachment has nothing to do with those officials, but he needs this topic to attack Wang Ju. This is hatred! Including the participation of the Censorate, Lu Gongzhu and Wang Ju have no hatred. This is for his good friend Sima Guang!

If you are impeached in normal times, you will be impeached. Don’t forget that the Censorate itself has the right to report the news.

Isn’t it okay to impeach a little Wang Ju?

But now Sima Guang irrationally threw out a dispute between the north and the south.

The Censorate is determined to break up with Wang Ju. What would this kid do with his little chicken intestines?

In fact, Wang Ju had already done it, but he did not write it again after writing it once, and he did not expand it. This is called a brief taste, and he did not release it.

However, if Wang Ju tear apart, continues to write a letter, and even connects with the ministers in the south to expand this matter, Wang Ju may not work, but there is Zeng Gongliang behind him, who is also unhappy, but he is watching. If Wang Ju can fuel the fire and make the matter bigger, then if he saves them, they may be involved. If they do not save them, Sima Guang will definitely be in trouble.

The price of this hot fight is too unprofitable.

Just go down. The fatal self and Wang Ju became a snipe and clam fighting. There was a fisherman behind him, and the fisherman benefited. Can Lu Gongzhu see this result?

So Lu Gongzhe stopped Cheng Hao in time.

This action is very subtle, some frown, and some are funny. But everyone knows that Wang Ju's difficulty has passed.

Disperse the morning.

There are also separate orders for the scattered courts. Those with higher positions leave first, and those with lower positions leave later.

Mr. Lu was much higher than Wang Ju's official position, so he left first. When he passed by Wang Ju, Wang Ju said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, let go."

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.

Wang Juyou thanked him, and Lu Gongzhu was very suspicious.

But this is a statement. I will deal with my military weapon surveillance, and you will continue to deal with Wang Anshi. If you don’t deal with me, I will not help Wang Anshi to deal with you.

The main reason is that Lu Gongzhao and Wang Ju did not have any deep hatred, but he just couldn't stand it, so he smiled bitterly.

But time has been delayed, and it will be difficult to get Wang Ju down again because sucrose has come.

…………

The sucrose stocks are a bit complicated, with half of them accounting for half of them, and the remaining half include Zhao Niannu, Wang Ju, and ten households in Yanzhou.

However, Zhao Niannu's three sisters grew up gradually. After their mother begged, they later distributed some to them as they made a profit. Then Zhao Xu's dozens of cousins ​​asked for it one after another, and they were divided up again.

I have no rejection of this Wang Ju. If you want to do things, you must unite some people and not defeat them all. Do you really make enemies from all sides?

In fact, because of Zhao Niannu's tolerance, Gao Taotao has been treating Wang Ju for more than ten years, but this is the story that follows.

But this is also one of the reasons why Wang Anshi slightly rejected Wang Ju.

For example, Zhao Xu was preparing to use Su Dongpo and Sun Juexue’s daily notes, and Wang Anshi said: “If you are not serious about this, you will have any evidence. If you write the "Jia Yi Lu", you will be very interested in the words, and you will be very familiar with Jiang and Guan to gain power in the world. If you want to attach to Li Ouyang Xiu, you will write the "Jing Orthodox Theory", and Zhang Wang did not make any comments, so you will make a comment. His arguments are unreasonable. Not only that, he was killed by his father, and Han Qi and others sent gold and silk to Sichuan, but they sold several ships of Su Mu into Sichuan. This matter is well known to everyone. Sima Guang said that Lu Huiqing received money and said that Su Shi was calm. This is a slander. Your Majesty wants to change the customs and stop the evil sayings, and suddenly uses this person, how can the scholars know the likes and dislikes of Your Majesty? This person is not talented and sincere, and he cannot be abolished. If the provincial government recommends it, the judge will be deprived of it, but only if the jury is in the order of the jury, how can you ask the memorial to be noted?"

There are three things to say here. The first thing is that many articles by Lao Su and Da Su are quite similar to those of the masters, which makes Wang Anshi dislike them.

The second thing Su Dongpo attached to Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi was even more disliked. Moreover, Ouyang Xiu was also identified by Zhao Xu as the culprit of the Pu Yi dispute.

The third thing is that Su Dongpo, a dealer in Sumu, entered Sichuan.

Wang Anshi actually gave Su Dongpo face. The truth of this incident was that Su Dongpo not only sold medicinal herbs, but also borrowed official ships to sell private salt.

It was not until after the Li case that many people couldn't stand the role Su Dongpo played in the Li case, including Sima Guang, who also said that Su Shi was not a charist, and Xie Siwen was even more disliked Su Dongpo's jumping up and down, and the truth was revealed completely.

But there is another truth behind it, because Su Dongpo is not good at managing. Although this trafficking borrowed the official ship, he actually lost money and owed a lot of debts...

However, behind these two truths is that Wang Anshi didn't like Su Dongpo who was jumping up and down at this time. It was not until Su Dongpo arrived in Huangzhou and his thoughts were mature that Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo appreciated each other.

But it also shows one thing: Wang Anshi rejects officials and conducts business.

Although Wang Ju actually gave back more money to the country, at most he said that he had some money in his hands and could do things flexibly and flexibly, such as dealing with craftsmen this time. He really didn't spend money? Chen Su and charcoal didn't spend much money, but what about that house?

The house cost more than 40,000 dan. Wang Ju asked the Li family and the others to advance and then paid it back with the dividends. If there was no such business, how could Wang Ju defeat the evil with evil and resolve the storm?

However, officials conduct business in themselves means serious unfairness, so Wang Anshi is not happy.

However, in this era, Zhao Kuangyi and Mingzhe did not stop his orders, so let alone Wang Anshi.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Ju did not participate, so he gave full power to Zhao Du to take charge, but Zhao Du handled it according to Wang Ju's intention. First of all, unlike the sales model of Kapok, it did not allow the internal warehouse and the government to participate, but used the bamboo paper model and connections over the years to hand it over to various merchants for sale.

The second is the pricing, which is based on the fifth grade, 150 cents, 100 cents, 60 cents, 40 cents, and 20 cents per catty.

The top layer is pure and flawless, the slightly white one is second-class, the light yellow one is third-class, the dark yellow one is fourth-class, and the brown one is fifth-class.

At this time, the production cost is high, and the profits of fifth-class people are not much. Although the first-class people are profitable, the output is very small, and the profits of second-, third- and fourth-class sugar are profitable. Of course, it is still a profitable industry.

And the price is relatively reasonable.

There are two things that can be compared. The first is the price of salt. In the Song Dynasty, the average salt price per kilogram can reach nearly 40 cents per kilogram. Isn’t sucrose more expensive than salt?

The second is frosting. The best frosting can cost more than one pound. Is it better to have sugar as much as frosting? Even if it is not enough, then rock sugar?

This is also Wang Ju's intention. Excessive profits will inevitably lead to small sales. The output will not be very large this year. But next year, with the increase in profits, Guangnan's planting area will also be built in Sichuan to produce workshops, so the output will gradually increase. Therefore, Wang Ju has not started yet and has already turned his attention overseas. If possible, why can't it be fed back to India, Dashi, or even the distant Europe?

Because the price is set relatively reasonable, the supply of sugar was in short supply this year. Zhao Du was only responsible for planting and purchasing sugarcane, producing sugar, and even transportation was the affairs of various merchants. These merchants were not stupid and knew the initiative. So, not long after, sugar appeared in the capital.

But this is not what Wang Ju pays attention to.

Wang Ju is concerned about the final sales price. A batch of sugar in the first place arrived in the capital, and Wang Ju went there to see the price with his own eyes.

The best one is not one hundred and fifty cents, of course it is not one hundred and fifty cents. The commercial tax, transportation cost, and labor cost must be calculated. However, this price still makes Wang Ju speechless. It is five hundred cents. If you can pay a little, it will be more than four hundred cents. The worst brown sugar with a very light taste has sold for seventy or eighty cents.

"It's so bad-hearted." Wang Ju shook his head and left.

However, this gave Wang Anshi a great deal of Kapok.

When Wang Anshi sold kapok as state-owned, many people also opposed it, saying that he was competing for profit with the people. Now, let’s take a look at what kind of people compete for profit, but he just competed for profit with a group of businessmen who were so ill-hearted that they could not be more ill-mouthed!

But I still objected to Wang Ju.

This huge profit is based on the fact that scarcity is precious. Once the sugar production keeps up, it is impossible to produce such huge profits.

It’s not that it cannot be accepted as state-owned. Do so many state-owned enterprises in later generations have to be privatized?

But there must be a prerequisite, efficiency and integrity.

Can the Song Dynasty do this now? Let’s talk about tea, how much profit will it generate. As a result, the minimum annual net income of Song Renzong was only a few hundred thousand trumpens, which forced many ministers to propose commercial laws. The court ignored it and handed it over to merchants and tea farmers to bear the profit and loss, and the country had to trade taxes.

There are also salt and wine, which is good. However, on the books, it is only gross income, and the costs of each official are not calculated. If they are calculated, how much profit will there be in the end?

Moreover, tea, salt and wine are made of buying money. The imperial court rarely interferes in the sales, but Wang Anshi directly intervenes in the sales. The invisible cost will be higher. With the various redundant periods of the Song Dynasty, from planting to production to transportation and sales, how much waste will be caused, how many people will be greedy for it, and how many officials and clerks will be added?

Secondly, is the current Song Dynasty suitable for public ownership industries?

Also, if Wang Ju's approach last year, his profits were evenly distributed by merchants and the court, then the court would have a great sense to use the law to manage cotton. There will be private business situations in the future, but there will be no serious chaos. Now that the court has taken the initiative together, it will be huge profits and "competing for profits with the people", how many private business will arise and how many disputes will arise?

In fact, it was the price last year, which was also promoted by merchants.

So I immediately saw the effect. Sugar came to the capital and cotton also came to the capital. At first, a quilt was sold for fifteen jin. Compared with last year's price, it was indeed very reasonable. However, as cotton continued to come, some merchants spread rumors and caused trouble, and gradually they could not sell it. Zhang Dun wisely dropped to ten jin coins in time. The price of ten jin coins was finally accepted by many people, and the sales gradually opened up.

Compared with last year, profits have indeed increased, and this year's output is several times that of last year.

But what about next year and the year after?

In fact, in the spring next year, Zhang Dun saw a lot of backlog, and lowered the price again, down to eight guan and seven guan!

But in general, it did make a lot of political achievements for Wang Anshi in the past two years. Soon after, due to the relief of the national finance, Zhao Xu allocated a huge sum of money to the military weapon supervisor. With this money, Wang Ju officially launched the forging steel courtyard, simple tempering, and hydraulic steel stamping. That is, since Wang Juan was proposed like Cheng Kan, the court has not implemented this technology until now.

In addition, after obtaining the income from sugar, batches of money and materials were continuously transported to Jingyang.

But behind this contribution is Wang Ju. At most, Wang Anshi has expanded its profits at the moment. So Zhang Ruoshui asked Wang Ju: "Zi'an, is it easy to do it?"

The reform of military weapon supervision has not ended now, because there are still so many idle officials and officials who are doing nothing.

Wang Ju has been waiting for an opportunity.

Now that you have made such a great contribution, the opportunity should be here. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
