Chapter 860 Yao and Shun (1)(2/2)
It was spent so much money, but Wang Ju made it back for the Song Dynasty. And in the future, the Song Dynasty court's finances are healthy and it will continue to make money!
Sun Jue was excited. When it comes to money, he happened to talk about this banking department.
The state lends, is it right for the people to eat?
Zhang Shangying said that the national interest rate is only one cent, while the private usury merchants are six cents, and even three times the annual interest rate!
Sun Jue scolded, "If there are merchants and fish, can the court be fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished and fished as the court?"
Then everyone rushed up and almost cried and said the bank's atrocities, especially some people could not repay the debt they borrowed. Then, according to the contract, the bank's official forced the sale of the property, which would inevitably lead to some bad phenomena.
But if you don’t do this, then after all, you can release one thousand guan. Whether you can recover two hundred guan is still the same thing. That’s it, many dead debts appear every year.
Gao Taotao concluded behind the curtain that the banking department is indeed a fish-making act of the people, and this method of making money is not a merit.
Zhang Shangying was so arrogant that I stopped doing this bank.
In short, he and Zhang Dun are very talented, but neither are the best candidates for the prime minister. Zhang Shangying is too noble and Zhang Dun is too distinctive in black and white.
Cai Que sneered in his heart, the banking department is not good, Zhang Shangying is gone, I see if you will ban it. However, Cai Que expected that the court immediately issued an edict to replace it with Sun Jue. But it is harmful, so what should I do? So Sun Jue ordered the reduction of various interest rates by two cents.
Zhang Shangying was about to hire a boat to return to his hometown in Sichuan. After hearing this, he said, "These guys would not be willing to destroy the Song Dynasty."
In fact, in later generations, the average annual profit of more than 8 cents is not low. But in this era, the costs in all aspects are relatively high, and coupled with the dead debts and bad debts and the greed that cannot be prevented, once two cents are reduced, the consequences will be significant.
This is exactly what Sun Jue doesn't understand. In fact, the loans issued by the banking department every year are not only the funds allocated by the court, but more than half of them are the interest difference generated by private deposits. If it is reduced by two cents, we will see if it will make a profit at the end of the year.
Good governance, all the merchants, including the people who don’t understand, feel happy when they hear it. In just two months, all the funds in the banking department were borrowed, and then something even more joke happened...
But now I was attracted by something else.
Spring is coming, and the fleets on the other side are coming one after another. These fleets have not been affected yet, not only the profits brought by commerce and the profits of the Maritime Bureau. The main court has not yet been "cleared".
Then he brought news from the other side, saying that some people on the other side migrated to the farther American continent, and these people were illiterate. So the merchants on the other side also set up some schoolhouses there. Because Xiao Cheng was good at learning, he transferred Xiao Cheng there. Now the court summoned him back, and the other side obeyed the orders, but because it was too far away, it had to be slowed down for a while.
Jia Yi was a little confused, so he asked, "A more distant continent?"
Then I found the map and saw that it was misunderstood.
Su Dongpo also came out after presiding over the entrance examination. After hearing this, he laughed. It was like Xu Fu Dudong, he could go but not go back.
Jia Yi was extremely angry. Could it be that he issued an edict to arrest these seamen?
Then he heard something. Su Dongpo gave a test question in this Pavilion Examination. Now the court wants to teach Renzong's loyalty and kindness, and is afraid that all officials will not take up their posts, and may be able to do so. He wants to do the Wuzong's efforts to achieve success, and is afraid that the supervisors and commanders will not understand their intentions and will become engraved.
Wuzong was the posthumous title of Zhao Xu. The posthumous title of Wu's name was not too bad or too good. Just like Emperor Wu of Han was at least not as high as that of later generations in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Wuzong of Tang also prevailed on Buddha and promoted Taoism, but died in Taoist small pills.
Of course, it is much better than the word "Divine" produced by Sima Guang and others.
This sentence means that if Song Renzong was restored to his appearance at that time, officials would probably be able to live a life without pressure. If Zhao Xu's efforts to govern, they may not understand it and become harsh.
It has nothing to do with Wang Ju, this is the inevitability of the two ruling methods.
Even though Wang Ju used many means and used various concessions to compromise, overall, he was still relatively harsh when he was in power, both tough and iron-blooded. He punished hundreds of unqualified officials every year.
Now the court has turned a little, and Su Dongpo can't see where he is going, but what he is saying is psychological, is the reform good, and is the reform good after Wang Ju's further improvement? He has seen and heard it below in recent years.
It is not useless as many powerful people in the capital said. Of course, even Wang Ju's reforms still have many flaws, especially the various problems that the officials who implemented them have.
Now that Xixia is destroyed, there is no financial crisis, and it can be relaxed, but it must not be restored to the same as when Emperor Renzong of Song.
This is what Da Su wanted to say, which is what later generations called moderates.
Can't be said right, can you please both sides? Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind!
Here comes...
