Chapter 763

Whoever obstructs the banking department will support the unscrupulous usury!

But it cannot be said that Wang Ju was biased.

The banking department is not a panacea, and there will be disputes in various ways during execution, but compared with the Qingmiao method, it is indeed much less harmful, and it is really important to improve it...

First, it solved the problem of serious insufficient currency in the Song Dynasty.

Second, it will definitely prosper the economy of the Song Dynasty.

The three imperial courts must have benefited a lot, and this benefit was transformed by Wang Ju into various policies that benefit the people. Before it began, households and waited for the people, and undoubtedly the taxes of the people were relaxed.

But Wang Ju was not finished. He continued: "Your Majesty, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Kai defeated Donghu and expanded the territory of Yan for more than a thousand miles, and once expanded the territory of Yan to the entire Liaodong and northern Goryeo. Li Mu of Zhao defeated the Xiongnu, beheaded 100,000, destroyed the Qiqiu, defeated Donghu, and surrendered Linhu. They were just a magistrate country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not a unified country. The Han and Tang Dynasties were bullied by the Hu people for a time, but they were quickly attacked by the Han and Tang Dynasties. Even when the feudal states were separatist, the Hu people dared not enter the Central Plains to cause chaos. But our dynasty, the richest country in history, is now the most populous country in history. Not to mention the Liao Kingdom, even a Xixia cannot be solved. It is not as strange as a magistrate country."

"Are the soldiers not brave? Everyone, there are so many battles on the battlefield between our dynasty and Xia and Liao. The soldiers of the three armies would rather be wiped out, but none of them surrendered? Are the weapons and armor are poor and the supplies are insufficient? Your Majesty, you don't realize that this has made a major mistake!"

"Wang Qing, where is the mistake?"

"My literati and officials in my dynasty are so powerful. They know water conservancy, farming production, and armor manufacturing, and are proficient in commerce and trade. They are all military strategists, who can be literary and military, craftsmanship, business, agriculture and politics. They are really powerful. For example, when Emperor Taizong of Tang was alive, he was envious of his dynasty. The most important thing is that many literati and officials can do things no longer. They can turn black and white, and even those who want to do things with peace of mind and make our dynasty further prosperous are all turned into villains and treacherous ministers, while a group of greedy people have become gentlemen. What a gentleman!"

Fan Chunren couldn't hold back his face and said, "Xu Xi was indeed a mistake from the court."

"In fact, it's not just Xu Xi. Even your father made mistakes! During the Qingli period, there was a rumor in the Xixia army that there was a Han army. Xixia heard it and felt cold. There was a Fan in the army, and Xixia was shocked. Fan Youcheng, do you think your father and Han Gong have such skills?"

Fan Chunren was stuttering and couldn't speak.

In fact, Fan Zhongyan was a little better. Although he built many forts like a life-threatening injury, he did not make any major mistakes.

As for Han Qi, what's the good Shuichuan!

"Even a slightly brilliant victory has not been achieved. Your Majesty. I don't know where to make the Western Xia heart scared and scared? But why are there these two rumors? In fact, there were not people in the army that were suitable for the main generals. Those who fought were Zhang Kang, Zhong Shiheng and Wang Xin, and Di Qing had already performed well in the northwest. Wang Kai, Miao Jixuan, and Gao Jixuan were also more suitable for the main generals than Han Duke Fan, and there were also Guo Zun, Wang Gui (referring to the general Wang Gui who died in the battle in Haoshuichuan), Sang Yi, Zhang Ji, Zhou Mei and other brave generals. However, with the two songs from Xixia, only Han Duke and Fan Duke were known to the whole world, but they didn't know these people."

"Wang Qing, do you think the people of Xixia intentionally spread these two sentences?"

"Your Majesty. I don't know, but I can't underestimate Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao during the Qingli period. I'll say one more thing. When I was a teenager, I was in Yanzhou. Life was very difficult. The people I met were just a group of ordinary border residents, but they all knew Zhang Kang and Zhang Ku. However, His Highness the Great Princess brought these comments to Renzong, but Renzong was confused and asked Zhang Kang. Only then did he know that Zhang Kang was deliberately refrigerated by a group of scholars and officials, and placed him in Xuzhou as a mysterious general manager in Xuzhou, and he also passed away..."

"Your Majesty, please send someone to record this sentence."

Zhao Xu whispered to the yellow gate beside him, and the little yellow gate immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to prepare for recording.

"Your Majesty, I only say three people. They are not military generals, but civil officials who have achieved the title of Jinshi. One is me. Although I know a little about the military, what is my experience? I killed thieves when I was in my teens, took the people of a village to fight hundreds of invading Xixia soldiers, and then went to Huachi County, then to the Battle of Dashun City, and then to the Battle of Qingzhou. They grew up step by step. That's it. Whenever the battle came, I was still careful and negotiated with the generals, for fear of mistakes. But in fact, I was so careful. In the Battle of Qingzhou, many mistakes occurred one after another, almost affecting the direction of victory or defeat."

"The second person is Wang Shao. After he passed the imperial examination, he took a small official and wandered in Xihe for nearly ten years. He knew almost everything about Xihe, so he won the Hehuang victory. The third person is Zhang Zhifu, who is quite talented in military affairs and participated in the Battle of Dashun City and the Battle of Qingzhou. However, after arriving at Yunnan Road, he talked with his ministers for a long time, especially the military arrangements and instructions, fearing that he would make a command mistake if he didn't understand. First, growth, second, caution, third, good at listening to his subordinates' opinions, and fourth, his own talent, so he won by chance. But let me ask, every time the court airborne the sect and doctors and serve as the chief general of one side, can there be no disastrous defeat?"

"This is the case with military affairs, and the economy is the cornerstone of the country, and even more so. Especially in the future, the Three Departments, Bank Department and the Southern Twelve Road Shipping Department will be the most important cornerstone of the country. Why, for example, after the Southern Twelve Road Shipping Department and the Bank Department open, the households and other places will gradually decline, and the two taxes will inevitably be insufficient, including the grain and silk needed by the court, so the Southern Twelve Road Shipping Department needs to go and buy. If officials do not understand the economy and force the levy and buy, it will be a disturbing act. If officials understand the economy and carefully regulate, and enter and buy areas with low grain prices and silk prices, it will not only avoid the pain of levy and buying, but also avoid the situation where the low price of grain and silk is harmful to farmers. Put the right talents in the right position and let them be tempered and the court gives them trust, so that the country can prosper."

"If you really think that the scholars and officials can do everything, the country will be in danger. Just like the Battle of Yongle City, I am not very familiar with Xu Xi, but I have some contact with Shen Kuo. This person is good at miscellaneous studies, such as mathematics, material production, astronomy, water conservancy, etc., but does he understand military affairs? However, this miscellaneous studies are equally important, and the country lacks relevant talents. For example, Cheng Fang... Those who understand miscellaneous studies are not placed in their suitable position, but let him go to Yanzhou to lead troops. I can't understand."

"Everyone, I am not suppressing the literati. In fact, the biggest fundamental of the country is government governance. This is the main job of the literati, military, economic, water conservancy, etc., so let professionals take charge. Why should the literati fight for it? Just like I am fighting for the official position of the Ministry of Rites, isn't that the biggest joke?"

These words are not the current and there is no problem now. Just like the Southern Twelve Road Delivery Envoy was originally a minister named Zhang Yan to replace Zhang Shangying. After Wang Ju came back, he immediately asked Lu Huiqing to replace Zhang Yan.

Lu Huiqing turned out to be the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. Because of his poor performance, Zhao Xu was demoted to the magistrate of Shanzhou. No one questioned that he served as the 12th Southern Route Initiator with his qualifications.

However, talents are placed in a suitable position. Although Lu Huiqing is not as good as Xue Xiang in financial management, he is at least not inferior to Zhang Shangying.

But this is now, what about six years later?

"I understand. Shen Kuo can preside over the military weapon surveillance or that new machinery workshop..."

"It's the one in the middle." Wang Ju said.

After the Battle of Yongle City, Shen Kuo also became a ghost. He was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Junzhou Tuanlian, and was placed in Suizhou, and was exiled...

But it may not work. If a Song Huizong appeared in the future in the Song Dynasty, even if this record was found, it would not be implemented. If a Song Gaozong appeared, he would continue to suppress the military officials and generals.

This is not the problem now. Xie Jingwen said: "What should I do with this case?"

"As the prince said, I'd better wait for Han Shaoqing's news. But I hope that the person was indeed beaten to death by Zhang Mu, and the confession in the litigation of the sea merchants on the other side was a false confession forced out by torture. In this way, although Duke Wen was a little biased in the law enforcement, the maritime merchants were indeed suspected of being bold and arbitrary. Mediation between the two parties, big things would turn into small things. If it weren't for Zhang Mu, it would be really troublesome. If Duke Wen handled it lightly and the maritime merchants were not convinced, it would bring a series of serious consequences, and even the banking department could not establish it. If Duke Wen was dealing with it heavily, Duke Wen would not affect one or two people. I'm afraid that someone would be dissatisfied with the court's judgment. For example, Fan Youcheng, how do you think you should punish Duke Wen?"

"Duke Wen also made contributions to Shesu."

"Okay, I will pay for my crime with merits. If so, why did the Youcheng Fan not speak up for me when I was impeached by everyone the previous year? Can Duke Wen play with me in terms of merit? But if I am wrong, I am wrong. So before I come, I asked Your Majesty to promise me that I have served for six years and that after six years, I must leave the court. Why, if I do something wrong, I can no longer be a scholar or a literati. But the country still needs me and I have to give my life to the danger!"

Fan Chunren was speechless.

"The importance of the banking department is not what you imagined. I will only make a simple metaphor. Because the emergence of the banking department will promote the development of all walks of life, including many people starting to build houses. I only say that an ordinary brick and tile house is planned to be built at 60,000 yuan, of which 10,000 yuan is used to entertain craftsmen and help neighbors. Then it will undoubtedly promote the market for 10,000 yuan of wine, meat and vegetables. 20,000 yuan is the wages of craftsmen, so many craftsmen will have a better life, and of course, they will also buy more commercial goods. 30,000 yuan is the cost of various materials, so it will undoubtedly feed many timber merchants and craftsmen in the kiln. Once this becomes a year when we add 10,000 yuan of new houses and 100,000 yuan, how many people will be supported, how many people will become richer, and how much additional commercial tax will the court receive? What does it mean to not increase taxes and the country's self-sufficient? That's it!"

"Not only does the country be self-sufficient, but it also benefits many people. Therefore, on this road, no monster or monster can destroy it!"

Wen Yanbo rose to the height of demons and demons!

Fan Chunren couldn't help but fight a cold war. This time Lao Wen is in trouble! I hope that those maritime merchants can still make a little clever judgment by using severe torture and force confessions.

However, he was extremely disappointed.

Wang Huan, Han Jinqing and Yang Wei soon passed the news back.

First it was Wang Huan.

The court also knew that the situation was a bit urgent, so he repeatedly told him to ride a horse to Hangzhou, not to be greedy for comfort and head south on a boat.

Wang Huan was indeed riding a horse, without stopping all the way, and went south to Hangzhou in a simple manner.

However, he arrived in Hangzhou in front and surrounded by a large group of businessmen behind him.

These people are really anxious.

Think about how extensive the commercial goods purchased by Hangzhou Marines are. They are not only brought to the other side, but also to the countries of the South China Sea and the countries of the Great Food. From porcelain, tea, silk, paper, medicinal materials to oil umbrellas and handkerchiefs and various daily necessities, they can be said to be all-encompassing. The contract signed by both parties alone reached two million yuan.

However, because of the monsoon in the future, they were placed in the warehouse of the Maritime Department and were not moved onto the ship. Now that the fleet has left, these merchants are all in the warehouse.

Even the Gao family was also implicated, why? bamboo paper!

But Wen Yanbo is a giant, and even the managers of the Gao family can only dare not speak out.

Therefore, I heard that the imperial court engraved the censor Wang Huan as the envoy to investigate the case again. These merchants surrounded him one by one and tried to inquire about Wang Huan's words.

If the court did not hold Wen Yanbo in charge, then it would have to pinch his nose and transport these merchants back regardless of the heavy losses. Or sell them in Hangzhou with the advantage of the Grand Canal. However, so many merchants were sold to the market all at once, it is conceivable that they would lose their families and their families.

If the court held Wen Yanbo and transferred Wen Yanbo away, then they would still have the chance to pay some storage fees first, put the commercial goods in the warehouse, and then send representatives to persuade the fleet to Mizhou to sail into Hangzhou Bay when they headed south. Take these commercial goods away. This would still lead to losses, but it would be better than transporting them back.

There are also brave people who directly said that Wen Yanbo's approach is inappropriate.

Wang Huan smiled bitterly, that was that simple.

He made excuses and began to investigate.

However, new things have come again.

There are also immigrants.

In general, there is fear of the sea and a complete departure from the well and back to the countryside. Now it is not the time to be desperate, and ordinary people are still unwilling to migrate to the other side.

If it weren't for the other side of the mailing office to constantly send money and letters to the inland, maybe even when we are desperate, there wouldn't be many people willing to go to the other side.

Therefore, the people who came to the port and were preparing to migrate were all desperate.

Before coming, I sold all the pitiful property in my home, including the houses and arable land.

Now the maritime merchants asked them to go back, and Wen Yanbo asked them to go back, but how could they go back?

So they stayed at the port together and refused to leave. Many people were foolishly saying to the officials of the Hangzhou yamen runners, "Please persuade them to come back."

This is not a small number of people, nearly ten thousand people, Wen Yanbo was also very distressed by these people, so he ordered the yamen runners to tell them to these people, don’t count on Hangzhou, you can go to Quanzhou.

But the problem arises again. This is not Wang Ju’s previous life. He took a long-distance bus along the expressway and arrived in Quanzhou in less than ten hours.

Let these people walk step by step and walk these two thousand miles to that day?

Fortunately, the seamen built a straw shed for them and left a lot of food. Otherwise, the millions of people would have started to make trouble and Hangzhou would be in chaos now.

Seeing this situation, Wang Huan persuaded Wen Yanbo for most of the day, but he didn't expect it. The weather has not cooled down yet, and it is just right. If it is too late, if the weather is cold, something big will happen. Therefore, Wen Yanbo advised him to withdraw some money and food from Hangzhou and send a guide to take them to Quanzhou.

Although 10,000 people are not small, they are better than the densely packed immigrants in Mizhou Port.

Then as long as there are tens of thousands of stagnants of money and grain, these people will take the initiative to go south.

However, Wen Yanbo was very unhappy. It was tens of thousands of coins, but it was really tens of thousands of coins. It was really not a folk money, so why did it be given to those who went to the other side? He used the other side as a reason to dismiss Wang Huan.

Wang Huan mocked him in his heart that tens of thousands of chunks of money are a lot, but it is just your salary for a year. Is it more important than nearly ten thousand lives? It’s just that they are not from Song shores, so why are they not from Song?

But he was helpless because he had no right to take care of this matter.

So the investigation began. Erlang of the Li family was kidnapped by the seamen, but there were still some witnesses in Hangzhou, such as Xiuxiu and a few passers-by watching.

Soon Wang Huan found out the problem, and the family slave must have been beaten up, otherwise the other person would not have been allowed to help him back. But the problem is that the courtyard where Xiuxiu is located is more than four miles away from the Li family. If the spleen is broken, it is impossible to help him back even if he supports him.

Wang Huan has not come back yet, but just wrote down what he saw and heard, and handed it to the capital with special feet.

Without mentioning the murder case itself, Wen Yanbo's attitude towards these immigrants is a big problem.

On the other hand, Han Jinqing and Yang Wei also arrived at Mizhou Port.

The two of them were stunned at first, not because they migrated the number of people, but because of the super-large ships with six mainsails in the port.

How many tonnage is the largest wooden ship in ancient China? This may be a mystery. Once the ship reaches more than one thousand tons, there are few shipwreck accidents, so most of the wrecks salvaged by later generations are hundreds of tons. Wang Ju doesn’t know how big the legendary Zheng He treasure ship is.

However, many wooden sea ships in Europe later exceeded 2,000 tons.

But that was the European sea ship after the first industrial revolution, and the technology of all parties was more mature, so these sea ships with a height of more than 2,000 tons had a strong visual impact on both of them.

But thinking about their lifespan, the two sighed.

Wen Yanbo dared to do something wrong, but they didn't dare to get on the boat and began to investigate.

In fact, it was not what Fan Chunren imagined.

At the beginning, they did kidnap several people onto the ship by force, but after the ship left, they separated and locked them in a sealed small dark room, and it was not said that they were from Mizhou.

Several people were locked up in confinement, but they thought the ship was sailing to the other side, so the next day, they did not use any punishment and confessed in full.

Even the many illegal things that Li Erlang did, he said one by one.

After obtaining the confession, the maritime merchants were so angry that they came up and punched and kicked.

But this force was carried out after confessing, and it had nothing to do with torture and questioning. Or confinement... In this era, who can know how powerful the little black room is?

Han Jinqing personally interrogated again, and it was still the case. Basically, this is all the truth, so he wrote down the story and sent it to the capital with a fast horse.
