"You are in Guangnan, can I have any restraint?" Zhao Xu couldn't hold back his face.

"It's not just the kind of support that Guangnan..."

Don’t think that saying things three times is like rotten grass. This matter has to be reminded repeatedly. Otherwise, Zhao Xu will be confused again and it will be difficult for him to do it. You must know that only six years have passed, and that year and day of these six years are very precious.

Wang Ju looked at the memorial again and said, "Fan Chunren is extremely honest and has a lot of legacy of his father, but everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The other side has already clarified this point. Your Majesty also knows that the other side has implemented the six Cao system. People in the other side must be upright and upright. People in the ritual Cao must be gentle and knowledgeable elders. People in the military Cao must be good at military affairs. People in the craftsman know mathematics and are proficient in farmland water conservancy. People in the household Cao are good at coordinating and scheduling. People in the official Cao are good at politics.

Even though Fan Yaofu is the right prime minister of the Secretariat, he is only suitable for preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice, and even the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue are a bit reluctant. It is not that Fan Youcheng is not a talent, at least he can bring a clean style of work to the officialdom of our country and the vicious spirit of the officials. However, if His Majesty wants to make a difference in government affairs, military and economics, it is not the director of Fan Youcheng, but the ministers, or ministers such as Zhang Zihou and Zhang Tianjue."

That is, if you don’t decide on external affairs, ask Zhou Yu, and if you don’t decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao.

Fan Chunren doesn’t understand economy or military. Can he believe what he says?

Zhao Xu's face turned slightly red.

Doesn't this mean that I don't know anything?

So he also stared at the music book. Could this music book be useless?

After looking at it for a while, he asked again: "If you follow your plan, how about the use of gold and silver in civilians?"

If you collect this, not only the gold and silver you have prepared now, but also a large amount of gold and silver from the people have entered the banking department as the principal. So what should the people do if they use gold and silver? Not to mention anything else, it is just that ordinary people are talking about marriage and marriage, so at least some jewelry should be prepared.

"Your Majesty, this is also the focus of my discussion with Zhang Zihou yesterday, and it is actually easy to deal with. The first level is difficult at the beginning. Once a large amount of gold and silver are included in the banking department, it must lead to a lack of civilian gold and silver. The silk handover issued by the court must immediately flow into the market, and the people will definitely cash in with silk handover. What Fan Yaofu said repeatedly cashing may appear. But it doesn't matter..."

Wang Ju told Zhang Dun what he said last night.

"Not only that. In the next few decades, I guess I can get more than three million taels of silver from Japan every year. In fact, whether it is gold or silver, you can make the principal. As long as the imperial court entrusts the world to let the people know about this matter, it will not cause panic in gold and silver at the beginning. When the banking department is built, some adjustments can be made. For example, if you use silk to pay cash for gold and silver, you must pay a three-percent handling fee."

“This is a bit too much.”

Think about it, if it is a deposit, the annual interest rate is only three cents, three percent. If it is just cashed out and the handling fee reaches three percent, what will the people have?

"Not it, because the principal gold and silver used by the court were cast in strips, and the official seal of the bank office would be engraved. Therefore, when the people needed it, they could be allowed to cash it, but when they did not, they could take the strips of gold and silver back to the bank office to exchange it for silk, and they could get one or five percent of the silk for silk."

That is, the handling fee is only 1.5%, which is about acceptable to the people.

However, in this way, it can snipe the people's cashing, or induce gold and silver to return to the banking department. Even if the bold people cast strip-shaped gold and silver, there is no big problem. This measure is mainly to prevent cashing. When cashing, privately cast gold and silver are returned here. The court will not mention continuing to make profits, and at least the cost can be kept equal.

And there is another function: "In this way, the banking department can control the trend of gold and silver through the reserves of gold and silver. In addition, the attention to the market gold and silver prices, if the price of gold and silver rises wildly, a large number of gold and silver can be allocated to the market. If the domestic gold and silver are insufficient, the other side can also assist. If the price of gold and silver falls, gold and silver can be in stock in case. Use this to regulate the price of gold and silver."

"There is also the amount of silk to be exchanged. In the past few years, the number of silk to be exchanged is definitely insufficient, but it cannot be issued randomly. After the stability in the past few years, if the ratio of silk to copper coins is between ten to nine, or ten to eleven, do not interfere. If the ratio of silk to copper coins is between ten to twelve, or higher, the number of silk to be issued can be appropriately increased. If the ratio of silk to copper coins is reduced to ten to nine, the silk to be exchanged immediately to prevent the price of silk to be exchanged."

If this step can be achieved, the so-called principal will not move.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The specific arrangement will be made by me. Besides, I have been experimenting on the other side for several years, and I can control it for three years in the capital. There will inevitably be a complete system in three years."

Even if you have considered these, what else should you worry about?

"You have brought back so much gold and silver, can those maritime merchants on the other side have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think? I persuaded you for a long time. And I just found two large lands in the east. The population on the other side was scarce, so I convinced them with this. But in the final analysis, they were from Song people, so why don't you want the Song Dynasty to be strong and prosperous. However, many scholars and officials watched our dynasty pay a lot of silver and silk to the two foreign countries every year, and they were not ashamed of it, but rather proud. However, they were cruel and arrogant inside, including these maritime merchants. They donated so much money and food to the country, but were still attacked by many scholars and officials, so some maritime merchants gradually became unhappy. It is difficult to give grace, and it is easy to offend..."

"I know."

It would be great if Wang Ju wanted to get up and say goodbye. Zhao Xu suddenly asked, "Wang Qing, what are you going to do in the future?"

"After going back this time, I went to the dock and dismantled it."

"Just disassembled?"

"It can sail for two or three years, but the keel is the center of gravity of a ship. If the keel is broken due to heavy rust and encountering strong winds and waves, the ship will be in danger. In fact, this is also a test. Test the steam engine to see what is wrong with this steam opportunity for a long time. In addition, the wind and waves in the sea are too big. The smaller the ship, the shallower the draft, and the easier it is to overturn. But it doesn't matter. Although it fails, you can learn a lot of lessons."

This loss is only visible, and the money burned is not visible in secret, not just a few sea ships of two or three thousand tons!

However, if it can be successful, or if it can learn from valuable experience and increase the tonnage of the ship to more than 2,000 tons, the significance it will bring will be unimaginable.

Zhao Xu didn't know about these things, and he asked again: "Wang Qing, have I heard that the other side of the country implemented a charitable tax deduction policy?"

"It's true, but your Majesty, it's impossible to implement it in our court."

“Why?”

"Can our dynasty achieve real tax equality? It's not just commercial tax equality, but all taxes."

Zhao Xu's face was solemn.

Wang Ju looked at Fan Chunren's memorial again and said, "I said that Fan Yaofu has a good style of his father, but he is far from being as good as his father. Why is Fan Wenzheng a real poor family. But in Fan Yaofu's generation, it is not. Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said to Your Majesty when I was young? Herald! Why did Taizong expand the imperial examination? If it is true that he can become a good official after reading the meaning of the scriptures? If so, since the founding of our dynasty, there have been nearly 100,000 ministers of all sizes, and tens of thousands of ministers were appointed as ministers. However, how many monks could match Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao read the meaning of the scriptures, half of the Analects!"

"Why did Taizong do this? It was not really because civilized rule in the world, he had to promote many Jinshi as powerful ministers. If so, why did Taizong not allow the children of powerful people to participate in the imperial examinations many times? Even if they participated, they would get rid of their rankings, just like Li Zongheng, the son of Prime Minister Li Fang. Lu Mengheng, the younger brother of Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng, Wang Fu, the son of Ming Wang Ming, and Xu Huiwen, the son of Xu Zhongxuan, the son of Dushi Xu Zhongxuan. And he implemented the system of copying in a series of times to allow more poor children to enter the court. But in fact, these poor children who were scholars and officials may not be able to match the children of powerful people. For example, the famous prime minister of Taizong, Lu Mengzheng, was the son of officials. Wang Dan, the famous prime minister of Zhenzong, came from the Sanhuai Wang family, and the famous prime minister of Renzong, Lu Yijian was the son of Lu Mengzheng in the early days of Renzong."

"There is no other reason. They have been by their father for a long time and are very familiar with the officialdom, so once they enter the officialdom, they almost do not need to be tempered and can handle government affairs. However, why Emperor Taizong did this was because he was afraid that the Song Dynasty would have a family of officials and eventually formed interest groups, just like the powerful people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the aristocratic families in the late Tang Dynasty, the country would be corrupt."

"But now? Why do I propose to cut officials? Including the reduction of the number of imperial examinations, it is actually very simple. It is the imperial examination. Most of the Jinshi who are promoted are children of officials. Your Majesty, you check the officials of the entire Song Dynasty, including the Jinshi officials who have won the imperial examinations. How many people are truly from poor families?"

"This is not scary. What is scary is that they are connected with each other. Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate the children and relatives of the top scholars and officials such as Han Gong and Wen, and you must be shocked. Therefore, it is difficult for Mr. Jiefu to reform, and it is even more difficult for me to trade taxes. So last night, I discussed with Zhang Zihou for a long time, and finally came up with 20% of the bank's contract shares. In addition to the various functions mentioned by me, it is also to win over a group of powerful people. Otherwise, His Majesty would strongly support it. It would be difficult to trade taxes in real time."

If it weren't for these two defeats, the so-called equitable tax would not have been passed at all.

It's probably nominal commerce tax.

The second is that the literati and officials formed a group, and coupled with the official-oriented idea, Wang Ju could not really completely reform the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Wang Ju told Zhao Xu similar issues before Xining's reform.

But it was explained more thoroughly at this time.

"Your Majesty, in order to deal with this problem, the other side came up with a countermeasure, that is, all officials must be tempered by the village chief. As the children of officials, most of them will not start with the hard-working village chief, and it will be possible to be promoted after being recognized by all the people of the village for several consecutive years. In addition, the other side also emphasizes education, and the children of ordinary families will gradually start to go to school. In the future, there will be many children of ordinary families, and in ten years, many ordinary poor children will enter the cadre class. The whole other side will also continue to introduce new news, and there will be no serious monopoly. The other side will start with nothing, so it is easy. It is difficult to go to me, so it is still the same thing. Some problems have been seen, but they cannot be solved. Even if Your Majesty is a king, he cannot be solved."

Zhao Xu looked bitter.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, things are urgent. The top priority of the Song Dynasty is Xixia and a better financial system. If these two are solved, the crisis of the Song Dynasty will be further alleviated. Then Your Majesty can make some adjustments based on the situation. Even in a great victory, coupled with financial health and support from the people, when Your Majesty's reputation reaches its peak, you can also make drastic reforms to further eliminate this problem."

"I understand, so it's also a compromise that you give up half of that steam engine?"

"Your Majesty, this is really hard to say. The Banking Corporation is a real compromise, but this kind of compromise is limited and stable. Even if the banking Corporation expands in the future, it is also necessary for these people to inject gold and silver again, which means that the banking Corporation's income will surge, and their income ratio will not be much larger. However, this steam engine will not have much profit at the beginning, and it will also withdraw a lot of funds to continuously develop and improve. This article will be deliberately explained when the minister presides over it. However, its future is limitless."

“More than the banking department?”

"It's really possible, but it will take decades... Your Majesty, don't be jealous."

My mother was really wrong. Zhao Xu thought to herself that it was the banking department that was compromised, not the steam engine stock.

…………

"Have you been there for so long?" Wang Gui asked in surprise.

"Prince, Fan Yaofu submitted a memorial, which caused His Majesty to have some ideas, so he summoned me to the palace for inquiries."

"Did Fan Yaofu present the memorial?"

It is normal to submit memorials as the Right Chief of Shangshu, but it is abnormal to stay in the palace with Wang Ju for so long.

"Don't worry, prince, don't worry. Although Fan Yaofu is an honest official, he is not good at military and economic development. He may only be bewitched by some people, and then he uses these seemingly wrong words to confuse His Majesty."

After saying this, Lao Wang knew it.

It was probably after the emperor came back yesterday that he issued an edict to demote An Tao to Qingzhou. Fan Chunren went to visit him, which was also a farewell, and then he was bewitched by An Tao.

"This An Houqing really doesn't know the general idea."

"There are many people who don't know the general."

It’s not that I don’t know the general idea, but mainly because I have always been very repulsive to Wang Ju, and coupled with the equitable business tax.

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he walked around.

After the reform, the Secretariat completely changed his appearance, which made him very unfamiliar. For example, the Privy Council suggested that the Western Prefecture be abolished and the Ministry of War should be returned to the Ministry of War.

This is the correct statement, it is a reform.

But Zhao Xu became suspicious again and said, "The ancestors did not return to the Ministry of You for their military affairs, so they ordered officials to govern them and maintain their own policies. How could they be abolished?"

Then keep it.

So he did not place the Privy Councilor, but only the Tongzhi or Tongzhi Academy presided over the Western Prefecture. But who would be competent for the undermined Tongzhi or Tongzhi Academy, and Zhao Xu did not find a suitable candidate. Therefore, he had to leave it empty, which meant that the Western Prefecture was reversed from the original Shangshu. Now the Shangshu Province has the real power to execute, but the rights of the Western Prefecture are inexplicable.

It is not obvious now that once the attack on Xia begins, will it be a mess if the Ministry of War is in charge of military affairs or the Privy Council continues to be in charge of military affairs.

But Wang Ju doesn't want to touch it for the time being.

Anyway, the Western Prefecture has no leader and has become the place for drinking tea and chatting. Military reports from various places were handed over to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will undoubtedly hand them over to the Secretary of the Central Committee, which is beneficial to its own arrangements.

Lao Wang sighed.

At this moment, An Tao didn't know what was going on in the end?

However, the key point is that two crushing defeats can allow Wang Ju to spend his first year in this moment.

If all measures are not implemented within the first year, we will wait and make a noise in the second year.

So after turning around, he came back immediately, wrote a few orders, and then sent someone to his subordinates. After the subordinates reviewed, they could ask the officials of the two-system system to write an edict to execute it.

Anyway, an inappropriate reform seems to be like the system of the Tang Dynasty Tianbao, but it seems to be different.

But in general, it is still very beneficial to Wang Ju.

There are three sects of the Secretariat, two kings and one sect, and Cai Zhang and others. As for the Secretariat, it doesn’t matter.

These four people are not very evil to Wang Ju.

But unexpectedly, Fan Chunren came to the door. He came from the Secretariat to the Secretariat and asked: "Taibao, what price do you plan to use to match silk materials from various places?"
Chapter completed!
