Chapter 721 The truth
"Please sit down," Wang Zhen came with kindness, and Wang Ju's tone became gentle.
"Fai'er, go and make a cup of tea for Wang Jianzheng."
Wang Zhen sat down.
Wang Ju looked at the memorial in his hand again and said, "Prince, do you know why the prince and the prince did not issue it?"
"It was not because the princes and princes thought these matters were trivial matters, but might cause trouble. Although I was in Guangnan for a long time and Qiongzhou Island was not my focus, but because I was conquered Champa, I boarded a ship on Qiongzhou Island, landed on Qiongzhou from Leizhou across the sea, and then went to Zhuya Army from Qiongzhou, which happened to span the entire Qiongzhou Island. Although I was not very familiar with it, I always saw some scenes with my own eyes."
"The salt affairs written in the Xiangzuan Book must be negotiated with the three departments (Zhu Chuping was the pacifier and the governor of Qiongzhou, and he only had the right to suggest and had no right to deal with it directly), because disputes arising from farmland were even more troublesome. In the past, almost all the people living on the island were from Lidong, and even if a small number of Han people went up, they were barbarians. It was not until our dynasty that he really paid attention to the south one after another, and there were more people moving south. In other words, the government would not seize the arable land, and it would definitely lead to greater disputes."
If you want fairness, return the land to the Li people.
But can that happen?
You should know that due to geographical location, most of the Li people on Hainan Island are born households, and they do not count household registration and pay taxes, and they will be returned to the Li people together. Does the country still have a source of economic resources to govern this area? Besides, what should we do if those Han immigrants?
Therefore, the imperial court used to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"There are also murders and plunders in Lidong. I have been there. Overall, the Li people above are relatively peaceful and have a serious sinicization, so they entered the market to trade. No one could notice it. Until the horn sounded, the city people knew that a large group of Li people came to the market to trade. Therefore, these are very special phenomena. If you want to deal with it, what should you do if Jinghu South Road and Kuixia areas? In fact, it is not only Jinghu South Road and Kuixia areas. The mountain people in other areas have not been well solved by the court because of poverty, people or bandits."
"There is only one way to solve it by force by military means, just like what I did in the south, kill Manhao, divide the land, build roads, promote education, and change the land and return to the current. But Zichang, do you know how much I spend in the south?"
"It seems to be millions of silk..."
"Millions?" Wang Ju laughed: "To tell you the truth, it's not a few million, but the truth is nearly 80 million."
"so much?"
"I destroyed Jiaozhi and Dali, conquered Champa, and then killed some bad leaders of Manhao, and directly or indirectly spent more than 20 million guan of wealth. I spent more than 20 million (stone guan liang) through the means of economic adjustment and subsidies from Guangnan. The millions of silk allocated by the court were also spent, and the more than 20 million guan donated by the seamen were also spent."
“Haike donated so much?”
"The officials did not get angry when the seamen smuggled proudly, but just asked, why?"
In fact, there is more than so much money. This year and next year, Guangnan will continue to allocate some money and grain to transfusion blood to Yunnan Road and Jiaozhi. Wang Ju also plans to privately allocate 10 million chunks from overseas to supplies for Zhang Zhi to dispatch, which means that more than 20 million will be invested. Yunnan Road and Jiaozhi can maintain self-sufficiency and provide some help to the court.
So sometimes, the court knew that there were many bad behaviors in various barbarian areas, but most of the time, it just turned a blind eye and tolerated it as long as there was no major riot.
"But it was because of how to change the land and return to the flow. The Wuman area was tempted to defeat Ziqi in the battle. Most of Ding Zhuang were almost captured by me in that battle, and the strength of each village was empty. The same was true for Shanchan Prefecture and other areas. The troops were concentrated in the hands of Gao Yang's families, and the remaining troops were empty, so I took the opportunity to change the land and return to the flow. The force attacked the northwest Wuman area. The actual area of the land and return to the flow was less than the area of the two states, but the strongest army was sent.
I learned in detail and made countless arrangements, and sent people to persuade the surrender. The main general was even more able to fight Yan Da. In this way, I still suffered heavy casualties. In addition, I also changed the land and returned to the current in the western part of Guangnan. How did it be changed? By the name of generals using the army to use Jiaozhi, the army was pressing down on the border, forcing each department to hand over some of the Ding Zhuang as soldiers, and then handed over the salary, rewards and pensions of Ding Zhuang to the barbarian chiefs of each department, tempting them to deduct it, and using this to anger the soldiers of those tribes, they would defeat them one by one."
"Although this move was inferior, it was ultimately a reason and an excuse. It was also easier to take down the barbarian chiefs because of the cooperation of various soldiers. However, what reason should Qiongzhou Island use to use troops? If it is not used well, the entire island of Liman will be in chaos. Is it worth it?"
"Zhu Zhizhou probably thought a lot, so he proposed to install Baojia. However, the Han people on the island were very difficult. If you come to Baojia, do you really have no pressure on the people?"
Don't think that these things are not big, but they will be very headache to deal with.
Therefore, Lao Wang sealed the first two memorials and refused to publish them, which also made Zhu Chuping reflect.
However, Zhu Chuping also wanted to do practical things, so he handed memorials to the court one by one.
In history, the Song Dynasty sent people to deal with it and delegated power to Zhu Chuping, so Zhu Chuping cleared the taxes of the troops in various states, and provincial taxes and levies, and lenient salt administration.
But later, a poem by Su Dongpo who was demoted to Lingnan appeared: Agarwood is burning in the courtyard, and the armor is fried in a row. How could it be like a small fire, and the smoke is curling and clear songs? Greedy people are not hungry and full, and they also seek more pepper. Zhu and Liu are crazy sons, falling like wind and flowers. They are originally trying to fish in the lake, but what next year is this?
Zhu and Liu refer to Zhu Chuping and Liu Yi who have made great achievements in the south during this period.
This poem shows that the problem of murderous incense has not been resolved.
In addition, some reforms of Zhu and Liu were distorted by officials more than ten years later, and instead became political orders that harmed the people.
Of course, Da Su is just like that in politics. How can he have the ability to reflect deeply?
In fact, what Zhu Chuping or Liu Yi did in the south is really good.
Just like Wang Anshi's reform, was he so fucked Cai Jing?
"Thank you for your advice," Wang Zhen suddenly realized, but said again: "You can't ignore it."
"Yes, you'll hand it to me tomorrow morning."
"ah."
"If my suggestion is passed by the court, it will eventually be passed, if it cannot be passed. Even if this memorial is not very impactful. Moreover, this is the basic system of the country, you and I must abide by it."
The next sentence made Wang Zhen helpless.
Moreover, there were many inappropriate things when the two met in private. Wang Zhen quickly said goodbye.
Fei'er said: "Officials, why can't I understand what you say?"
In fact, these problems do exist, not big, but they are very troublesome to deal with. Therefore, Wang Gui put the previous two memorials aside.
No matter what Lao Wang does, it doesn’t matter.
But it was Wang Ju's turn that he couldn't do it. Why was he able to serve as the deputy prime minister of the East Prefecture? It was his contribution to civil administration on Guangnan West Road.
However, Wang Ju's main responsibility on Guangnan West Road was to destroy Jiaozhi, so the primary task was military and then civil governance. Therefore, the direction was the local Guangnan West Road and the western region, one was the source of troops, and the other was to lay the foundation for the future capture of Dali. As for Hainan Island, I really didn't have the heart to ask about it.
But when it comes to other people's words, it's hard to explain it clearly. You should know that the court has given you the power to handle all military, political and financial affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Especially these fragmented problems, Zhu Chuping sorted out together. If he doesn't know Hainan, it seems that the sky in Hainan is about to collapse.
Don’t doubt it, it’s when the market is abolished and the law of resetting the Southern Nine Road Shipping Department, many people will definitely use it to make a fuss. If it doesn’t work well, Wang Ju’s suggestion will not be successful.
This is for the public.
It was privately put by Lao Wang, and Wang Ju came up and proposed by Lao Wang. Lao Wang used to seal it and didn't issue it, but now Wang Ju will deal with it. Lao Wang will not be ashamed.
Therefore, Zhu Chuping's memorial was handed over to the Jinzuo Courtyard, and the Jinzuo Courtyard was delivered to the military courtroom of the fifth room of the Zhongshu. Why was it delivered to the military courtroom? Because Zhu Chuping emphasized the proposal to build a baojia, he came to Wang Zhen's hands.
Wang Zhen came in private. It was not about destroying this prelude, but once it was leaked, Wang Ju and Wang Zhen's career would be completely over.
He didn't say that he actually hoped that Wang Ju would suppress it privately, and to discuss it with Wang Gui, so that the relationship between the two would not be damaged.
The second is to suppress it for a moment, and finally wait until the court agrees to Wang Ju's move and then deal with it, no one will use it to make trouble, or it will not affect the abolition of the market and the law of the market.
But why can’t I suppress it in Zhongshu?
The Secretariat was in the imperial city, including all subordinate departments, and almost all gathered together, while the building was a palace-style building. The Secretariat and the Secretariat were alone in a palace-style building. Although the five rooms had separate rooms, there were also some warehouses for storing supplies and documents. However, several prime ministers and some related officials were busy in a large room, but they were not separated like the offices of later generations.
And because Wang Ju was familiar with southern affairs, he handled official affairs very quickly. He almost finished it at noon every day and then drank tea and chatted. In fact, the Secretariat was a little better, especially the Secretariat Province, which almost became a nursing home for tea and chatting.
But why didn’t Wang Ju assist in handling government affairs for several other prime ministers?
You can!
At least what mentality will Cai Que and Zhang Qi have?
Therefore, according to convention, Wang Zhen will hand it over to Wang Ju tomorrow. Wang Ju will finish processing at noon, and this memorial will be left on the table. Will it be handled or not?
Could it be that Wang Ju also said he would seal it in the "extra-large office" and in full view of everyone...
The next day, when Wang Ju arrived at the Secretariat, Zhu Chuping handed over several southern memorials to Wang Ju with a depressed expression. Not only the military courtroom, but also several other rooms handed over some southern memorials.
Wang Ju smiled at Zhu Chuping. Yesterday's incident must be kept confidential, just pretend it did not happen...
Then he opened the memorial, looked at it in a pretentious manner, and came to Wang Gui.
"It's Zhu Chuping again, Zi'an, these things are a bit difficult to deal with."
"Prince, but I can't handle it, I have some ideas."
First of all, we have to open source. No matter what, Hainan is separated by a strait, so its economy is relatively backward.
So Wang Ju had an idea last night.
It turned out that the Song Dynasty was the three major market departments. Guangzhou was mostly dominated by the big cannibals, while Quanzhou was mostly dominated by the Fujian roads of the Song Dynasty. Almost the trade targets of these two places were the southern or the big food, Hangzhou Bay, including Hangzhou, Mingzhou and Xiuzhou. This trade target was Japan, Goryeo, and Liuqiu.
The Maritime Warehouse Department of Mizhou is about to appear in history, but under the urging of Wang Ju, it appears in advance.
Because of Wang Ju's proposal, the emergence of Mizhou Port and the trade between the north and the south began to increase.
As for the future Maritime Warehouse Department of Jiaozhi, it is actually only serving the prosperity of Jiaozhi and the southwest region of Dali. It is shrinking into the Beibu Gulf, and its impact will be limited.
This is the situation at the port, followed by the situation at the ship.
Some large Mulan boats in the Song Dynasty could raise pigs and grow vegetables, but the proportion of these large boats was very small, and even Mulan boats were reluctant to take out too much space to raise pigs and grow vegetables. It was better to go to Japan and Goryeo, as long as the wind was smooth and the time was not long, you could reach the other side. However, ships heading south, from Quanzhou or Guangzhou, then adjust with side sails, turn southwest, follow the southern coastline of Hainan Island, and then dock to Chameng, immediately stop and replenish supply. Then arrive at the Strait of Malacca and replenish supply, then trade locally, or turn southeast to Sanfoqi, Java, or stay in Malacca, wait for the monsoon, go to Tianzhu, Dashi and East Africa.
However, after Wang Ju's push, some small ships came from Mizhou or Hangzhou and had to take a detour into Guangzhou Port, replenish the supply, and then leave the mouth of the Pearl River Bay and head to the south.
Therefore, Wang Ju proposed that Zhuya army set up another port, and because Wang Ju attacked Jiaozhi and Chameng, he sent people to expand the small port a few years ago. Now even a thousand-ton sea ship can be parked. At the same time, Wang Ju used refugees to deal with Jiaozhi and built a Great Wall at that port, surrounding the port.
This is the convenience condition.
Now each sea ship can be parked at that port, but not traded. With the current production of Hainan Island, there is nothing good to trade. The main thing is that after the sea ship is parked, it can supplement the supply.
And this is not considered a robbery of welfare from Guangzhou Port, but it also robbed part of the city. If the Zhuya Army had supplemented the supply, most ships could reach the Strait of Malacca directly. What is the relationship between the life and death of the Champa people and the Song Dynasty?
If successful, even if three or four hundred ships are parked a year, it would be equivalent to replenishing supply from this port to more than 10,000 people for several months. It not only provides a large amount of taxes for the poor Hainan Island, but also benefits the local people and boosts the local economy. And the court does not need to pay much money.
And this minister's money.
That is, the business trip costs of officials, such as Wang Ju from Beijing to Quanzhou, and a family member had to eat and drink on the way. Therefore, the imperial court stipulated that officials from each state allocate some funds to provide officials with food, drink, and carriage and horse fees.
However, the minister's money was allocated very unevenly, just like Cao used to use it. Regardless of whether he was on business or not, the country allocated 10,000 ounces of minister's money to him every year...
The above is confused, and it becomes even more messy when it reaches the bottom. There are countless use of private use, embezzlement, and overuse. Just like Kou Zhun, who uses ministerial money to entertain guests in the local area, often has huge candles and singing girls and fine wine at long nights... When he was in trouble, because his official positions were completely removed, the prefectures would not give him any ministerial money, so he could only take an old servant to Lingnan...
Wang Ju planned to regulate the minister's money by this matter.
Then the murderous incense...
"Zi'an, this agarwood is a bit difficult to deal with." (To be continued.)
