The actual situation is much better than the impeachment of ministers.

Zhang Dun was dedicated in the court, and there was Cheng Shi Meng in the place.

There are also examples made by Ge Shaohua under the guidance of Wang Ju, such as the ten-year contract, the treatment and resettlement of immigration, and even let some people go back to promote it. These are all good sides, but in the face of huge resistance, the effect it has is still limited.

The simplest thing is to be unacceptable to the local environment. This is inevitable and people will die, but in my hometown, there will be no birth, old age, sickness and disability? However, it will be expanded on immigration, and the effect will be two different.

The worst thing is that Wang Ju heard a news that the court would transfer Cheng Shimeng back to the capital to serve as deputy envoy of the Third Division. So who will preside over the cotton planting in Guangdong and Guangxi? Moreover, the planting area is getting larger and larger, and more immigrants are immigrants. Once the officials who preside over are not good in morality or lack talent, it will cause greater problems.

Wang Ju thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Zi'an, do you have any good plans?" Zhang Dun asked happily.

Historical evaluation of him is very low, saying that he is a treacherous minister. In fact, Wang Ju values ​​him very much, and is both literary and martial. Compared with Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu, he has less selfishness. Compared with Wang Anshi, he has less stubbornness. It can only be said that he has a tough style. However, how many style prime ministers have a strong style and are not strong?

Wang Ju said slowly: "Post system..."

The postal system of the Song Dynasty was the various post stations and the Jinzouyuan.

The Jinzouyuan is the best. Memorials of officials from various places are mostly handed over to the Jinzouyuan from the post station, and then sent by the Jinzouyuan to various ministries and departments. Ordinary imperial edicts from the court or the imperial edicts from the two governments are also handed over to the Jinzouyuan, and then sent by the Jinzouyuan to various post stations and to the hands of various officials. Therefore, there are also a series of systems and regulations, including that the imperial edicts must not be disclosed before the officials reach the officials. Important political orders must not be disclosed even if they reach the hands of various officials.

This is on.

There are also some other things, such as the letters from frontline soldiers and letters from various officials who come and go to the post station.

However, what is better than the Tang Dynasty was that the Tang Dynasty was a military service. The Song Dynasty did not use the people, but used tens of thousands of soldiers as postmen.

In addition, unlike later generations, this is not a "fee item".

There is no charge and the resources are limited, so it is difficult for ordinary people to use post stations to convey their letters from home, including frontline soldiers, and it is impossible for them to regularly communicate with their families.

This led to another situation. In order to ensure that emergencies were sent to the court in time, the Song Dynasty set up an inn or water pavilion every ten or twenty miles on each main road. The water pavilion cost a lot of money and silk. So many inns were used to support so many inns and wait for money. Therefore, each inn became a place to entertain officials or merchants.

In the Tang Dynasty, this system was enough. Anyway, the court prohibited the flow of the people. But in the Song Dynasty, this system was obviously backward.

But it has been here for many years, so no one noticed it.

What Wang Ju proposed was this postal reform.

The court can print and issue "stamps", and each post station is open to the people. According to the distance and the weight of the burden, the people purchase stamps by the people. The post stations convey letters, money and goods to the people.

It is equivalent to a smaller version of the post office and express delivery company.

And now is a good time to promote it. The population is dense and there are more people moving. It was not possible in the early Song Dynasty. It was sparsely populated and could not make ends meet. Or the charging price had to be raised, which made the people afraid.

Wang Ju said simply.

"Good idea." Zeng Buzan said.

Once this reform is implemented, half of the postmen can be fed, and all postmen in areas with a large population of migrant workers can be fed, and the rest will increase some income to a greater or lesser extent.

These postmen were not supported by the court, and they invisibly saved a lot of money for the court. Just planned to save 30,000 postmen, and they would save 1 million chunks that year! This is not a small number.

People can communicate with each other. Those immigrants are not moved by the entire family. In the areas where they originally lived, there are still family members and relatives. When the letters come, money and goods come. No matter how the local gentry incites, the rumors will be self-defeating, and even without the need for the court to force them, more people will spontaneously flock to Lingnan.

As long as the court has settled these people, it will no longer worry about the relocated people, and it will be difficult for opposition voices in the court. This will not only benefit the country, but also help the reformists.

This is what Zeng Bu saw, and he did not see. Once this policy is introduced, it will accelerate population mobility. The benefits of population mobility will be unimaginable. It further stimulates economic development, solves the problem of labor tension in some areas, and opens up the people's understanding. A simple example, for example, in the west of Xiangshui, there are mostly slash-and-burn farming. Officials saw it, but the local area is mostly barbarians. The officials below have the ability to execute, the ideas of barbarians, local customs, and other factors. They want to do something, but if they are not done well, they will cause chaos, so they have to "clear and inaction". However, when the population moves, they see advanced external planting technologies. Some of these people will definitely bring these planting technologies back to the local area. Then, from the bottom to the top, the local situation will change.

Moreover, its cost is very small. As long as you set up a few hundred stations on the original basis, you can basically meet the needs. As for some particularly backward and sealed areas, is it necessary to set up temporarily?

There were few major projects in the Song Dynasty. Even if Zheng Baiqu is now a major project, the basic road conditions are relatively good, and it is impossible to have the kind of express in later generations. But does the Song Dynasty have that concept? A letter from Lingnan to Yanzhou can be handed to the people within three months, and the people will be very happy.

Even as the business increases and expands, all the postmen may be supported and profitable.

In addition, it will not deprive many merchants and powerful people of the interests, and the opposition will be relatively small. Unless it is considered special, for example, once implemented, the major landlords in areas with many migrants will definitely be unhappy and will still spread rumors and cause trouble.

"Zi'an, you can be your assistant to Mr. Jiefu." Zeng Bu sighed again.

"Okay, I am too young and have a bad temper. If I really become Mr. Jie Fu's assistant, I will not help Mr. Jie Fu, but will destroy Mr. Jie Fu's reform plan." Wang Judao.

The two of them naturally heard Wang Ju's refusal and couldn't help but feel secretly regretful.

However, they did not persuade him again. Zeng Bu said, "Zi'an. There is one more thing."

This incident was quite unexpected by Wang Ju, that was Wang Shao.

Wang Shao was in Qinzhou to open the border.

Now he has an army in his hands and has received the support of Yu Longke. The farming brings a lot of food and supplies, but everything is ready, but he owe the east wind, that is money. Once the war begins, it will require a lot of military expenditure.

It is said that the court would pay this fee when opening the border for the Song Dynasty. But in fact, it is probably difficult to ask the court for military expenses for opening the border. Even if it is allocated, it will not be much, and maybe it will be a bit slutty.

So Wang Shao thought of a solution, which was to use the state machinery to trade with the Tubo people, and asked the court for a soju workshop.

This is not Wang Shao's greed. Under the leadership of several merchants in Yanzhou, he lost the support of the government and the transaction volume was limited. Once placed in the hands of the court, the transaction volume immediately surged and the profit would double. Anyway, the profit of Wang Ju's workshop was not a pocket.

After thinking about it, I wrote a memorial and handed it to the capital.

But now Wang Anshi is "ill" at home, and the officials of the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Regulations Department dare not take the initiative, so the memorial was left there.

Zeng Bu thought it was a small matter, and at most there would be some criticism. However, when he got involved in the soju shop, he happened to come to Wang's house to visit him, so he said it.

In fact, it is not a trivial matter, because there is a real market law behind it, which Wang Ju dislikes the most, and is probably the most problematic method in Wang Anshi's reform!

But Wang Shao was successful in Qinzhou because it was different from the mainland. In the past, the Song Dynasty had many trade deals with Tubo, which had nothing to do with the government. At most, Tubo paid tribute to horses, and the court gave them back, and the Tea-horse law was implemented one after another.

However, the Han merchants were afraid of the barbaric Tubo people and did not dare to go deep into the Tubo territory to trade. The Tubo people were afraid of the cleverness of the Han merchants and did not dare to go to the Han people to trade, which restricted the trade volume. Once the official organization was organized, there would be no such problem.

It may harm the interests of some merchants, but overall, it supplements the trade defects between the two sides and makes it more convenient for the people of both countries.

There are also precedents. Zhong Shiheng was in Qingjian City, and the amount was a little small. The target was only the foreigners in the northern part of Yanzhou, but the nature was similar. It was precisely because of Zhong Shiheng's participation and the increase in trade volume, which also brought convenience to the foreigners in Yanzhou, and also brought activity funds to Zhong Shiheng.

The difference is that Zhong Shiheng did not say that I would take the lead directly. Wang Ju is the same, under the pretext of donating by merchants. But now Wang Shao is yelling publicly, so I don’t have to cover up my ears and steal the bell.

In addition, the radiation area is different. Wang Shao's city is prone to have a large area of ​​radiation, not only Hehuang, but even to the Western Regions. As long as it is managed well, it will obtain a large amount of finance. So Wang Shao said after the war, "When we were in war, we did not ask the court for a penny or a kilo of food and grass, all of which were managed by me."

This contribution cannot be greater. You should know that if the imperial court provided food and money for those battles in Wang Shao, the number may be calculated in tens of millions of guan. Let’s not talk about the achievements of opening the border.

But he yelled this sentence and was guilty. Why, you have soldiers, food, money and power in your hands, what are you going to do? Wouldn't you develop towards the second An Lushan? It was Wang Shao's first time leaving Qinzhou, and it was not until Hehuang deteriorated and he went to Qinzhou again.

This is exactly what the Song Dynasty cannot explain clearly. Although Wang Shao did not spend money and grain to fight those battles, the military pay and weapons of soldiers were usually inseparable from the support of the court. Wang Shao could not say that I did not ask for a penny in the court, but Wang Shao would not become the second An Lushan. As long as the court cuts off military pay and does not provide weapons, even if Wang Shao wanted to rebel, he would be stunned. Not to mention Wang Shao, even the Yue family army later was the same.

Then Wang Shao entered Xifu, and Wang Anshi imposed the Hehuang tax, but Wang Shao did not agree. The reason is also simple. If you impose two taxes, how much can you impose? It is better to operate this "City Yi" with peace of mind. However, if you continue to impose a levy, it will only arouse grievances among the people of Xihe. Wang Anshi refused to listen and demoted Wang Shao from the court. It was because of this market, Wang Shao was sad twice and finally died of anger and was so angry that he died of a gangrene attack.

"It turns out that the market Yifa was initiated by Wang Shao..."

"But we can't let this history be staged again." Wang Ju said silently in his heart.

If Wang Shao did not demote the court and died, if Zhang Jing grew up and the two were valued by the court, they might succeed in attacking Xia in the five directions.

But Wang Ju didn't say much now, nor did he remind the limitations of the Yifa of the City. After listening to Zeng Bu's speech, he said: "I don't participate in this. Wang Shao wants to run shochu, and I agree, but he cannot take away the shochu workshop. Once this example is opened, there will be endless troubles and will be even more irritating. If the court agrees, shochu workshop can provide shochu to Wang Shao with preferential treatment."

…………

"Official, this Wang Shao is unreasonable." Qiong Niang and Zhang Zeng said after leaving.

"It's wrong," Wang Judao.

The far-reaching plan of Wang Shao was beyond Qiong Niang's sight. Once the edge was opened, there was no need to know how much money it would cost, so he turned his mind to the soju shop.

In fact, Wang Juzhen doesn’t care now. Compared with the future profits of sucrose, soju can be almost negligible.

But this head cannot be opened, just like the story of Zilu receiving a cow and Zigong refusing gold. After this head starts, Wang Anshi may be able to treat it as a "story" and then force many people to hand over the workshops to the court.

Then there will be more trouble, so people in the world will not only scold Wang Anshi, but also Wang Ju.

Unless the reform is over, no matter what Wang Ju does, no one will care about it.

Furthermore, to be famous, what Wang Juqun lacks is not fame or credit, but qualifications and age. Why bother?

"That Wang Jiefu makes no sense."

Qiong Niang refers to Wang Ju's reform of the military weapon surveillance last year. When he encountered difficulties, Wang Anshi did not support him. Now Wang Anshi is in a dilemma, but he sends two younger brothers to ask for help.

"You are wrong again. This time Zhang Zihou and Zeng Zixuan came, and it has nothing to do with Duke Jiefu. Duke Jiefu is confident. However, Duke Jiefu is not the former Duke Jiefu."

When Wang Ju went to Beijing to report his work and inspect the river work, Wang Anshi asked Wang Yun to meet him and had an intention to show goodwill, but later his attitude became completely different. Although this was because Wang Ju did not strongly support Wang Anshi's reform, it was also related to Wang Anshi's already taken office.

So at this moment, Wang Ju was also a little confused... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
