In addition to the capital, the most developed areas of the Song Dynasty had the most developed commercial areas, including Yingtian Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Luoyang, Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Jiangning Prefecture, Hangzhou, Ezhou. Next are Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Suzhou, Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Tanzhou, Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Jiangling Prefecture, Guangzhou, Guizhou, Xiangzhou, Zizhou, Xingyuan Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Qinzhou, Hezhong Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Qingzhou, and Qizhou. The latter are also megacities of the Song Dynasty.

Among them, Qingzhou can at least be ranked in the middle among the latter cities.

So Wang Ju knew that An Tao would be in trouble, but he had to choose Qingzhou as one of the central cities for publicity.

But Wang Ju was also prepared. In order to prevent the situation, he deliberately sent the minister Song Lin to Qingzhou to promote publicity in person.

Song Lin came to Qingzhou and carefully told An Tao about his future intentions.

If you are not careful, you can't do it.

Although An Tao was not as sincere as Wen Yanbo in the Song Dynasty, he was still considered a big shot, and he could not afford to be a small official.

After hearing this, An Tao didn't say anything, and waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go down and rest."

Song Lin came to the inn to rest.

The next day he came to Qingzhou Prefecture Office again and asked An Tao. After seeing him, he asked, "Why don't you see Lu Bu?"

What is publicity? One is to post a scoop, and the other is to ask An Tao to find a square where the downtown city is located for him to show the people the new Jiaozi.

But there are undoubtedly only two places where this cloth is posted, one is the downtown center, and the other is the state yamen.

The display venue may also be considered, how much effort it takes to post a cloth, a little rice paste, plus two or three yamen runners, and a ladder is completed.

However, there is nothing at the front of the state yamen, and there is nothing. There is a sea arrest notice arresting a murderer.

"I understand." An Tao said impatiently.

Song Lin did not dare to urge him, so he had to ask again: "President An, where is the venue for the newly-departed exchange?"

An Tao finally became furious and shouted: "The old land of the Lu State in Qingzhou has been simple since ancient times. Prince An tempted the people with his benefit and swept the floor with his gentleness. His Majesty deceived him. But he would not deceive him, let alone let him lead the people of Qingzhou to badly."

Song Lin knew that things could not be done, so he hurried back to the capital to report.

After hearing this, Wang Ju said, "You go to the Shangshu Province and invite Pu Zuocheng, Fan Youcheng, the Minister of Revenue Xie and Li to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to discuss matters."

"Here."

After a while, Pu Zongmeng, Fan Chunren, Xie Jingwen and Li Ding were brought in.

Wang Ju briefly talked about the incident.

Is it serious? Don’t take it seriously. There were many literati and officials in the Song Dynasty, just like Fu Bi was in Bozhou. Wang Anshi asked him to implement the Qingmiao Law, but Fu Bi just refused to implement it, and he also bewitched the people and protested.

I did this, what else can you, Wang Anshi?

In fact, Wang Ju also repeatedly ordered the imperial court to obey the imperial court in various places.

Besides, this is just publicity and it is not time to execute.

The problem is that not only An Tao is the magistrate, but more than a dozen Wang Ju political enemies released by Zhao Xu last year were 80% of them. Jia Yi went to Raozhou, Wang Yansou went to Yizhou, Liang Tao went to Chuzhou, Liu Zhi went to Lizhou... There was also the big boss Wen Yanbo in Hangzhou.

This is Wang Ju's political enemy who was released from the court last year. Originally, there were many prefectures and prefects in each state who hated Wang Ju or held hostile to him, such as Liu Xiang, the prefect of Jingzhao!

If these prefectures learn from An Tao one by one, the banking department will not be able to implement it.

Wang Ju looked at Fan Chunren and said, "Mr. Fan, you have always opposed reforms before, but there are indeed some disadvantages in the reforms and disturb the people. But what about the banking department now? It's not bad. The equitable commercial tax does reject some powerful and powerful businessmen, but this market will be bigger because of the emergence of the banking department, just like I did in Quanzhou. In other words, although these people paid some commercial tax, they will get more. The actual blow is usury. Mr. Fan, is it wrong to crack down on usury?"

Don’t tell me what you love the people. Is it also love the people with usury?

"You have a good relationship with An Tao. How can I handle An Tao's actions?"

Does Wang Ju have the right to punish officials? It is true that before the restructuring, the Secretariat had the right to punish officials. After the restructuring, it would be handed over to the Menxia Province for review at most. However, it turned out that the Secretariat would also require permission from the emperor and the two systems.

Besides, Zhao Xu allowed Wang Ju to give more cheap power, and the two big bosses in the ministry were also ministers of the new party.

"I'll write to him to inform."

"Is it still time? It's time. With his hatred towards me, will he obey your advice? I have always advocated that things are not right to others, but is An Tao's behavior of such things and people?"

In military terms, Fan Chunren really dared not question Wang Ju, but some time ago, he was really worried about silk materials.

As a result, Lu Bu posted it and the truth was revealed. He looked at it dumbfounded.

As for how many merchants or others, they actively bought silk materials for the imperial court for the sake of the banking department's contract, this is not a concern, but it must have nothing to do with the science and technology matching.

Only then did he think of what Wang Ju said, "You love the people, I love the people even more!"

However, at this time he still thought that An Tao was a gentleman, at most he was a little petty.

He stumbled: "Taibao, what do you think you should do?"

"Relocate to Shanzhou."

"Not appropriate," Zhang Dun said.

Shanzhou's position in the Song Dynasty was extremely important, and it was important to transport, especially Sanmenxia. However, the hardship was also hardship in Sanmenxia.

Think about how many goods you have to transfer to Shaanxi every year. When the ship arrives at Sanmenxia, ​​it is immediately blocked. It either uses a boatman to force it, or it is carried ashore, and pushes it slowly with a small car. How much force does it take to use.

Later, the exemption law was changed, which was a little better, but only a little more. Think about the cost of paying more than 400,000 yuan in front of the yamen in the Song Dynasty, the annual fee was less than 7 million yuan. Although there were many short-term laborers, the average person was distributed, and how much money could be paid in one working day.

Therefore, Shanzhou was an important prefecture in the Song Dynasty, but its economic impact was very small.

However, the problem is not Shanzhou, but in Luoyang near Shanzhou, think about how many tricky old guys are "hiding" in Luoyang.

"Zihou, I can't help myself. There is nothing wrong with it. If I transfer him to another place, maybe many people will criticize me crazy. Just in Shanzhou, although it is not as important as Qingzhou, fortunately it is not far from the capital."

Zhang Dun wanted to say that Fan Chunren said, "That's it."

He was not afraid of Zhang Dun, but Li Ding.

…………

"Brother Zihou. This fish roe stewed tofu is good, it's super brain-enhancing." Wang Ju said.

Zhang Dun didn't care about any brain-enhancing work, and sat at the table and said, "Zi'an, if you deal with it this time, maybe you will really ruin your plan."

As the veil of the Bank Department gradually opened, Zhang Dun also gained a clear understanding.

It is not that easy, various systems, business processes, talents, gold and silver reserves, and also a clear control over the amount of Jiaozi. At the same time, you must also pay attention to the gold and silver prices on the market. If you don’t pay attention, all your efforts will be wasted.

This is not the key. What is key is the equitable taxation and the impact on usury. This is the real impact, not the Qingmiao method, which cannot even shake the fur of usury.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty suffered two defeats. Although it was a misfortune for the front-line generals and the people, it was a great blessing for Wang Ju to launch the Banking Department.

In this limelight, the emperor supports it and the people are encouraged. Even if someone opposes it, it will not cause any storm.

But Wang Ju became soft when he was in a critical condition.

If this softness is not done properly, it can send out a very bad signal.

"Brother Zihou, I understand what you said, but will An Tao be content with his own self-sanity when he arrives in Shanzhou? One is a mistake. The second time, that is called not correcting after repeated instruction!"

"So that's what it is..."

"This is the future plan for our dynasty. If the banking department can successfully launch it, plus mixed grains. As long as the future monarch is not so stupid, it will be enough for our dynasty to continue to establish the country for two or three hundred years."

If you meet Zhao Ji, no matter how many banks you have, you won’t be able to do it.

"Two or three hundred years..."

"Two or three hundred years is already very short. Unless the court can see it openly. It is allowed to migrate 200,000 poor people every year. This is how it is like this. One is to control the population, and the other is to continuously dilute the proportion of extremely poor people. Then the country may be established a longer time. But this is impossible. The other side can accommodate 200,000 households every year."

"Zi'an, when it comes to this matter, I also wonder, there have been more than 35,000 households migrating from the other side in the past two years."

"I know, but what you don't know is that in order to accommodate these people, the maritime merchants racked their brains almost every day. It was mainly because of my suggestion that they sent large fleets to the farther east and discovered two large and rich continents."

Of course, the two continents farther away are undoubtedly richer, both minerals and are suitable for living.

So the seamen on the other side were moved.

Wang Ju's words were half true and half false, and Zhang Dun was not suspicious.

In fact, Zhang Dun always agrees with the migrating people.

You should know that he was almost drowned by his parents because his parents could not raise more children.

"How many people are there now on the other side?"

"It's more than three million." Wang Ju didn't dare to tell the truth.

"Zi'an, to be honest, do you think the Song Dynasty can truly rule the other shore?"

"What do you have to think about it? If it is like this now, it is just a ban, and the other side will always surrender to China. The annual donation of gold, silver or commercial goods will not be interrupted."

Wang Ju used the word "China" not because of the Song Dynasty, but Zhang Dun didn't care. He thought that Wang Ju Yong's difference between inland and overseas.

"If the Song Dynasty intervenes too deeply, the other side will be disgusted. For no reason, the other side will be more open-minded. However, the officials in our dynasty are not parents, but superior masters, and the people are not children, but inferior slaves. Therefore, our dynasty governs on a large scale. These officials in high positions have been managed in large numbers, and the other side will most likely be separated from the Song Dynasty."

"Zi'an, what are you going to do when you return to the other side in six years?"

"Brother Zihou's question has a profound meaning... But it may not be what you think. Once six years later, I will return to the other side, and there are two tasks. One is to continue to reform a more open-minded system, use the other side system, and the mirror of the Central Plains. The second is to continue to study mathematics in depth. It is not mathematics. I now name it science. The development of science and technology is the real way out for this nation. And Brother Zihou, what do you think I can do in the court after the Xixia is destroyed? Do you learn from Cao Bingong or Li Jing?"

This is still half true and half false.

But some are not false statements.

If there is a successful enlightened system on the other side, and the vast space can accommodate more people, then under the guidance of his various works, the first industrial revolution will be truly launched in two or three hundred years.

Although there are many things he can't get out, this guidance is very important. With direction research and development, it is different from not having direction research and development.

Then five hundred years later, the second industrial revolution may occur in the other side in advance.
To be continued...
