As soon as this business method came out, everyone was caught off guard. No one thought that Wang Anshi had such a skill, and everyone was calculating the gains and losses.
At the same time, the Imperial Court and the Legislative Council have repeatedly issued notices and even published articles in newspapers, stating that Qingzhou may face debt restructuring, but this is mainly because the local finances are in chaos and the debts are huge, and Qingzhou's finances are already unbearable.
Anyway, it means that the court is not taking the opportunity to lay off officials, but is forced by reality.
And the evidence is business law.
Even if the debt is restructured, those officials will not be laid off immediately. The Ordinance Department of the Second Government will issue a business law to relocate these officials.
I hope everyone can work together to get out of this predicament.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government also published articles to promote the Business Law. One of the very important points is that the Business Law was not designed for Qingzhou, but was tried out in Qingzhou. If it is successful in Qingzhou, it may be popularized throughout the country.
All in all, in short, it is definitely not possible to just lie down and eat, you still have to work. But at the same time, it also said that the elderly salary officer does not need to participate, but he can also make a decision based on his own ability and physical condition, but
All their salaries have also been borne by the public service bureau. If the hospital's finances are not good, their salaries will also be affected. Of course, those officials who have become official are not among them.
This immediately cooled down the entire situation.
The opposition is also willing to accept this condition for the time being. After all, they want to delay, not make a comeback, because there is currently no chance of a comeback.
In addition, it is currently the cold winter season, so we can't make a fuss even if we want to.
When most of the opposition subsided, the sluggish reformers were greatly boosted in morale, because the final result was that the public prosecutors and the law would kill them, and it was Wang Anshi's introduction of the Business Law that saved them.
And they all believed that Wang Anshi came up with a business method on a temporary basis to alleviate their crisis. Because no one knew about this business method before, there is only one possibility that Wang Anshi came up with it on the spur of the moment.
The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade, so most of the opposition continues to side with the reformists, mainly because there is no leader. At present, in the political hall, apart from the conservatives, there are reformists. Unlike the Qingli period, many prime ministers were conservatives.
This was very crucial to Wang Anshi. Although both sides lost in this battle, the blow to the reformists was actually far greater than that of the conservatives.
The reason is simple. Many of the officials who followed the reformists were seeking official careers, but the Green Seeding Law on Jingdong East Road almost caused them to lose their official positions, which made them hesitant.
However, the introduction of the Business Law has tied up everyone's interests.
The adoption of this policy also showed that Wang Anshi had not lost power and Zhao Xu supported Wang Anshi.
This is also true. Zhao Xu did not show any wavering towards the New Deal. Today, as always, he summoned Wang Anshi to the palace alone to discuss matters.
"Sir's career approach is like a timely rain. Now there are nearly 90% fewer memorials to impeach Fan Chunren, and the court is gradually returning to its former peace."
When he saw Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu was still like a little fanboy, praising Wang Anshi.
"The official's reputation has been excessive, and this is a matter within the scope of the ministers' duties."
Wang Anshi added: "And according to my estimation, as long as the court goes all out, the revenue that the Business Law can bring to the finance will be able to greatly alleviate the burden of redundant officials in our court."
Zhao Xu knew this plan for a long time, but he still asked with interest: "Really?"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Just like hospitals and colleges, their income on the surface is only medical expenses and tuition fees. In fact, this is not the case. They also include the cost of medicinal materials and books.
As long as the people of the world trust the hospitals and colleges of the imperial court, the medicinal materials of the hospitals and the books of the colleges can be sold directly to the people of the world, which will be enough to make up for Qingzhou's financial crisis."
Zhao Xu nodded frequently after hearing this.
Wang Anshi added: "But this requires talents to implement."
Zhao Xu immediately said: "Sir, there is no harm in telling who you like."
Wang Anshi said: "First of all, it is the hospital. I hope that the government will dispatch some medical officers from the palace to provide support, especially the formulas of some cheap medicinal materials in the palace."
Those expensive prescriptions, even if they are taken, the people cannot afford them.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "No problem."
Wang Anshi said: "In addition, I also like these two people."
Zhao Xu asked: "Who?"
Wang Anshi said: "I recommend Shen Kuo, the Superintendent of Heavenly Affairs, to be in charge of this business. This man is knowledgeable, knowledgeable in all kinds of knowledge, and has outstanding abilities. He is the only suitable talent in the court."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "This person is indeed very suitable. Who is the other person?"
Wang Anshi said: "He is the son of Duke Yan, Yan Jidao."
"Yan Jidao?"
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that he is not in the court now, but is some kind of editor-in-chief of that genuine bookstore, responsible for publishing books."
Wang Anshi said: "I know, but he is also a salary official, and he still gets his salary. In the past two years, all the books written by him have sold well. Last year, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom bought ten carts of books from genuine bookstores.
, I recommended him to be the dean of the Di newspaper college, and at the same time supervise the compilation of the college’s books.”
Since he regards books as commodities, he must find excellent talents to rewrite them. Those previous books must not be bought for much money.
Zhang San probably never expected that his husband would compete with his genuine bookstore for talents. Zhao Xu secretly smiled and nodded: "As for the candidates for Business Law, I have full authority to make the decision, and I have no opinion whatsoever."
This kind of position does not affect any power. Of course, he can give Wang Anshi more freedom.
"I obey."
Wang Anshi slightly cupped his hands and then said: "In addition, I also summarized the lessons and shortcomings learned when the new law was trialled on Jingdong East Road in Hezhong Prefecture this year. I believe that the reason why the new law faces so many problems and encounters such opposition is that
It’s still due to chaotic implementation and poor supervision.”
You have to admit your mistakes, and the emperor is not stupid. It doesn't make sense to say that such a big disturbance was caused by a traitor. If a fly bites a seamless egg, and the emperor doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he is not clear in his heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Anshi must also make a review with his boss.
Zhao Xu said tactfully: "This still requires the assistance of the public prosecutor and the law."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "The Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate are indeed conducive to the implementation of the New Deal. This minister does not deny it, but it is only a supplement. The New Deal faces more institutional deficiencies."
"Yeah?"
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Sir, where do you start with these words?"
Wang Anshi said: "Whether it is in Hezhong Prefecture or Jingdong East Road, the order to establish the Ordinance Department of the second government can only go to the Transportation Department. If it continues to be implemented, the Transportation Department will inevitably face the complex official system of our government.
and the government agency system. From Jingdong East Road, it is not difficult to see that some states and counties are implemented very well without any problems, but some states and counties are full of problems. The shortcomings of our system are always affecting the implementation of the New Deal
.”
Zhao Xu nodded and felt that what Wang Anshi said made sense. Setting up the Ordinance Department of the second government could only avoid the complicated system of the central government. It could directly go to the Transshipment Department, but what about the Transshipment Department?
"I wonder how you plan to get rid of this problem?" Zhao Xu asked again.
Wang Anshi said: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. This bad government is not easy to solve for the time being. Therefore, I tried to cooperate with businessmen in Hezhong Mansion and achieved great success."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and said, "By the way, does the official know about the charity foundation?"
Zhao Xu was stunned, "Of course I know."
Wang Anshi said: "This charity foundation is not a personal transaction, but a joint transaction of many businessmen. This charity foundation relies on loans and even direct investment in businessmen to make profits and achieve great success.
The Changping Division of Hezhong Prefecture actually imitated the charity foundation and achieved good results. Chen's new law is mainly aimed at finance, and it has the same principle as doing business.
Therefore, the minister suggested that the Changping Division should be promoted to bypass the complicated local government offices and directly cooperate with businessmen to implement the new law.
The imperial court's instructions are still issued to the Transportation Department, which directly implements them through the Changping Division. The Changping Division follows the example of the charity foundation and is only responsible for coordinating, lending, and allocating money.
For example, the exemption law and transportation, the sale and purchase of the uniform law, the loan of the young crop law, and the market transaction law that will be promulgated by the minister next year are all focused on promoting the Changping Division, and the promotion of the Changping Division is through cooperation with businessmen in various industries.
, to obtain profits.
In this way, we can bypass the local government and avoid local resistance."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "This is a wonderful strategy."
In fact, they have been playing this trick all the time, which is to start from scratch, and when encountering resistance, we will simply bypass it and not play with them.
The ice is three feet deep and you have to cut the ice. How can you have so much time?
This lesson also made Wang Anshi realize that in fact, many officials did not care about the life and death of the New Deal. Zhang Fei originally proposed to establish a super financial agency to focus all finance on promoting the Changping Division. Not only could the government orders be passed, but also this could be used.
Bypass local officials.
Wang Anshi added: "In addition, I also carefully studied the success of Hezhong Prefecture. The key reason was the salt banknotes. The main reason why the salt banknotes were able to succeed in Hezhong Prefecture was that there was a lack of coins in the area, and the court only needed to issue them."
When an appropriate amount of salt banknotes are released, part of the salt banknotes will remain among the people, and this part of the income can also be regarded as fiscal income.
Since almost all parts of our country are facing a shortage of coins, I think the court should take this salt banknote seriously because it can make up for the financial shortfall in a short period of time."
Zhao Xu hurriedly asked: "Sir, do you have any suggestions on this?"
He was also very interested in this stuff, but Zhang Fei didn't discuss it in depth with him.
Wang Anshi said: "We have developed a very detailed production and supervision process. I specially asked someone to bring back some of the salt banknotes from Hezhong Prefecture. They are crudely made and have no aesthetic feeling. They do not look like valuable items when held in my hand.
This means that the court does not pay attention to it, but a beautiful salt banknote can make people more confident.
Therefore, I thought that the imperial court could first recruit talents in this field to design complex and exquisite salt banknotes that would be difficult to imitate.
More importantly, the issuance and supervision of salt banknotes are still based on raising border state military salaries, rather than treating them as independent coins. I think this should be adjusted. It should not be solely for the purpose of raising border state military salaries. Financial considerations should also be considered.
, or it can be handed over directly to the Changping Division for issuance in appropriate amounts according to the financial situation of each place."
Zhang Fei did not have the attributes of salt banknotes in Hezhong Prefecture. They were mainly issued according to the Trade Law formulated by Fan Xiang and Xue Xiang. The main function of salt banknotes was to raise food for the border states, not based on the currency situation.
Zhao Xu asked: "Don't you want to pass the Third Division?"
Wang Anshi said: "How do the three divisions know the coin situation in various places? Changping division has been dealing with businessmen all year round, so it clearly knows the specific conditions of each place."
Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just follow what you said."
He also liked bypassing Sansi. But then, he smiled and said: "It seems that sir has learned a lot of lessons during this trial!"
Wang Anshi immediately said: "In fact, my new method is based on the experience of my ancestors, and then adjusted and improved according to the situation of our dynasty. It is not the first one by me. If there is no successful experience, how can I dare to recommend it to the government?"
Some people say that Wang Anshi is obsessive, arrogant, and willful. This is true, but it all lies in his ideas and ideas. He believes that the fiscal deficit can be reversed through fiscal policy. It does not depend on the specific means. None of his new laws are
None of what he came up with was the first of its kind. They were all based on the experience of previous or current people, and there were successful cases, so he used them.
As long as the method is in line with his ideas and ideas, he can use it.
Zhang Fei's ideas of super financial institutions, salt banknotes, and salt debts are all very consistent with his ideas. When he learned about this plan, he was ecstatic and he personally approved it. Only then did Yuan Jiang follow Zhang Fei's plan.
, Yuan Jiang really wouldn’t dare to do that without his approval.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He will be able to absorb these methods immediately and use them for me.
In addition, he was so eager to suggest something to Zhao Xu because he was forced by the situation.
He also knew in his heart that the emperor might have been shaken by the new law, so he had to make adjustments to strengthen the emperor's determination to support the new deal.
In addition, the success of the Public Security Bureau and the emperor's favor for the Public Security Law meant that it was difficult for his Legalist ideas to make a difference. The New Deal would be supervised by the Public Security Law, and he would not be able to obtain the power of Shang Yang, who could keep his word.
This is actually very troublesome.
He must make changes.
Here he borrowed the method of a charitable foundation to directly obtain profits through investments and loans to businessmen.
Moreover, this can help him avoid the complicated bureaucracy and control the overall situation.
This is the biggest difference between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. Sima Guang does not agree with these financial management ideas at all. His only policy is to recuperate and recuperate, and to do light work and low taxes. Even if this policy can make money, Sima Guang will think it is a crooked way.
It can only be won for a while, but not for a long time. In the long run, it will hurt the people.
Wang Anshi highly praised financial management methods, and he was able to quickly absorb this knowledge and then use it in his own policies.
...
After meeting Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu personally summoned Sima Guang. Now he was flying with both wings and could not afford to lose sight of one thing.
The matter that Sima Guang discussed with Zhao Xu was very simple, which was the appointment of a salary officer by the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Procuratorate.
The responsibility of our Public Security Bureau is execution, and it is the most demanding department. If you just throw rotten fish and shrimps at our Public Security Bureau, how can we do it? Moreover, the reason why the Public Security Bureau can achieve such success is that the Public Security Bureau can directly eliminate those who are not suitable.
people.
Those officials who post salary are all uncles, and they have become accustomed to laziness. If they come to the public prosecutor's office and fail to work hard, what should they do? How can they be raised as uncles?
This will ruin the atmosphere of our public security organs.
It is very difficult to get rid of these officials with salary, and the number of procedures is really staggering. They are basically an iron rice bowl.
Sima Guang insisted that they apply for jobs, start from the lowest position, and stay in the job based on their ability.
If you directly become the prosecutor general, you will definitely not be laid off, because the prosecutor general must be appointed by the court. Although Hezhong Prefecture is in a special situation and recruits talents directly on the spot, they have already applied for it. The chief judge still does not have this power.
Zhao Xu readily accepted his suggestion, because Sima Guang only targeted the lower-level officials of the Public Security Bureau, the upper-level officials, and the court decided, which did not affect his personnel rights. However, he still asked Sima Guang to try to recruit as many officials as possible.
Do not recruit people from the private sector easily, as this will aggravate the redundancy of officials in the court.
Of course Sima Guang agreed. It wasn't that he didn't want to recruit people, because the public prosecutors and the judiciary lacked talented people who knew how to read and write. He just said that if he recruited them, he would have to encourage them and make them work hard.
.......
Zhang family.
"President Zhang, the renovation of your residence has been completed. Why don't you go and see it for yourself."
Li Bao came into the house, rubbed his hands and said to Zhang Fei.
"No!"
Zhang Fei shook his head, "I believe Brother Bao is more meticulous than I thought. Come, come, sit down, the hot pot is specially prepared for you."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Li Bao was not polite and sat down immediately.
Zhang Fei personally poured a glass of hot wine for Li Bao, "Drink a glass of wine to warm yourself up."
Li Bao raised his glass and drank it, then smashed it a few times: "This is really comfortable."
Of course, Zhang Fei didn't have enough time and asked Li Bao to come over for a drink.
Zhang Fei asked: "How is the arrangement of the Taxation Department on Jingdong East Road?"
Li Bao said: "The officials have sent people there a long time ago."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
When it comes to tax collection, Zhao Xu is more active than anyone else. Not to mention the cold winter, even on a snowy day, you have to rush there immediately.
After all, the tax money cannot be reduced.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "When I was in Hezhong Mansion, people who heard that we were on Jingdong East Road were already impatient."
Li Bao said hurriedly: "That's true, because President Zhang asked us to go to Jingdong East Road first. The scale of development there is even larger than that of Hezhong Prefecture now."
Zhang Fei asked: "Then there should be no problem with this year's autumn taxes, right?"
Li Bao grinned and said: "There is definitely no problem. We are fully prepared, but it will definitely be a bloody storm!"
"A bloody storm?" Zhang Fei frowned.
Li Bao said with a smile: "Chief Zhang doesn't know something. On the other side of Shaanxi Road, there are various armies, and they are all the elite divisions of our Song Dynasty. There are relatively few grassroots bandits there, and the people are relatively simple, which is the most troublesome.
That is the army.
But Jingdong East Road is different, especially in Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Dengzhou. The officials there are weak and the imperial army is corrupt. As a result, there are grass bandits on almost every hilltop in the area, and there are unruly people and scoundrels everywhere. In my opinion,
The worst place for public security is Qizhou.
This time there is such a commotion on Jingdong East Road, but it is also due to this reason. If we find another place, even if we add fuel to the fire, it may not be able to burn."
Zhang Fei said: "Really or not?" He murmured in his heart, as if Liangshan was over there.
Li Bao said: "Of course it is true, just ask Feng Nancy. Otherwise, our tax department would not have developed so fast there. For our tax department, there are really a lot of talents there, and there are many in Hezhong Prefecture.
The talents are all transferred from Qizhou."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but said worriedly: "Then can you handle it?"
Li Bao said: "The task will definitely be completed, but a lot of force may be used. Otherwise, if President Zhang goes there in person, it may be possible to use less force."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "You've said so, I won't go even if you kill me. This is what I'm most afraid of."
"Yeah?"
Li Bao said in surprise.
Zhang Fei said: "What do you mean?"
"No, it's not interesting."
Li Bao quickly shook his head, thinking, President Zhang is so cruel and ruthless, why would he still be afraid of this?
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "Actually, this is fine. In the capital city, we were still a little restrained. But in Hezhong Prefecture, we had already secured the army in advance, and later it was mainly about civil war. We should also show that we
Regarding the use of force from the Taxation Department, you can apply to the officials when the time comes and get some crossbows to use. It is said that those things are more powerful and can prevent us from being damaged."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "...!"
Li Bao swallowed and said, "But that won't prevent others from getting hurt."
Zhang Fei said: "Then they should pay taxes honestly! Robbery is amazing!"
Li Bao nodded blankly, and then said: "President Zhang...President Zhang, are you kidding me?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course not, I never joke in official business."
"Then...then I will tell the officials that it was you who asked for it."
"OK."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Li Bao smiled coquettishly, and quickly had a drink with Zhang Fei. After suppressing his shock, he suddenly said with emotion: "To be honest with President Zhang, what I am most worried about about the Taxation Department now is that if they all pay taxes honestly, what will happen to our people."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and said hehe: "You are thinking too far-sighted. First of all, tax evasion will never be extinct. It depends on whether we can be as high as we are and as high as we are without getting bonuses."
, it means we are incompetent and have no reason.
Secondly, there are so many places across the country, and this is very early.
Finally, isn’t there a next door?”
Li Bao was surprised and said: "Next door?"
Zhang Fei said: "There is really nowhere to put it, so we can only go to the Liao Kingdom to collect it."
Li Bao said cheerfully: "President Zhang is joking."
Zhang Fei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not kidding."
Li Bao blinked, "How...how do we go to Liao to collect taxes?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Are the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun our territory in the Central Plains?"
Li Bao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "As long as it belongs to us legally, then we can collect taxes. Whether we can collect it or not depends on our ability."
Li Bao scratched his head and said, "But that territory is occupied by the Liao Kingdom."
Zhang Fei said: "In order to collect taxes, who cares about this?"
Li Bao said hehe, "We really haven't thought about this. It's a pity that it's difficult for us to conquer Xixia, let alone Liao."
At this moment, Niu Beiqing came to the door and said, "Sanlang, Mr. Yan Xiao wants to see you."
Yan Jidao?
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Please quickly ask Mr. Yan Xiao to go to the back room. I will be here right away."
He also gave Li Bao a few words and asked him to come over to eat with the craftsmen, while he hurried to the back room.
After seeing Yan Jidao, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Yan Jidao said: "Yan came to visit a few days ago. Unfortunately, Sanlang was busy with official duties at that time...!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, at that time I...!"
"Yan understands."
Yan Jidao raised his hand and said: "President Zhang has too many things to deal with when he comes back this time. I understand, I understand."
There was a hint of envy in his voice. At your age and background, you are the president of a great court, especially the son of my dignified Duke Yan...
Yan Jidao immediately added: "Originally, I had no intention of disturbing Sanlang today, but there is something I must tell you."
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Yan Jidao said: "The imperial court suddenly issued a decree, ordering me to go to Qingzhou to serve as the dean of the Business School and compile the textbooks for the School of Business."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Hasn't Mr. Yan already resigned?"
Yan Jidao said: "But Yan still sent me an official salary and still received the imperial salary. Yan couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse. But I have to thank President Zhang for giving me this opportunity in the first place, so that I can be promoted today."
He could be the editor-in-chief at any time, but opportunities like promotion were rare. He still wanted to seize this opportunity to see if he could move up.
At present, he is still ambitious. After all, he has not been beaten by politics.
This Wang Jiefu is disgusting! Zhang Fei squeezed out a smile and said, "Then... then I wish Mr. Yan Xiao a successful career."
...
"What a fool. I helped you make plans and build public institutions, but you poached my talents. You Wang Anshi are so ungrateful. I%&*#￥@...!"
"What ungratefulness?"
Xu Zun, who had just returned home, saw Zhang Fei muttering there and couldn't help but ask.
"My father-in-law is back."
Zhang Fei stood up quickly, bowed, and said casually: "It's a business matter."
By coincidence, Xu Zhiqian also came into the back hall and said, "Dad, you are back."
Xu Zun nodded and said to Zhang Fei: "Everyone in the court today is discussing your admission to the Procuratorate."
Zhang Fei still had nothing to do, so Xu Zhiqian asked anxiously: "How is it?"
Xu Zundao said: "The rich man has already petitioned the officials, but once the news came out, almost all the ministers opposed it. They all asked Zhang San to return to Hezhong Mansion."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why is this?"
"Why else?" Xu Zundao said: "Of course it's fear. When Zhang San was just an Erbi, he already gave them such a headache. Now that he has entered the Beijing Procuratorate, he must not scare them so much that they can't sleep at night."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "They have a guilty conscience."
Xu Zunfu smiled but did not deny it.
Zhang Fei was very calm and said: "Then what should we do now?"
Xu Zun asked: "Have you not discussed this matter with the officials?"
"No!"
Zhang Fei said: "I thought this was just a trivial matter. After all, I was not promoted to the position of prosecutor general."
Xu Zundao: "This is a small matter, but it will probably take some time."
Xu Zhiqian said: "If the official orders it, can they still delay it?"
Xu Zundao: "The imperial court has a court system, and officials cannot act recklessly. The main reason is that Zhang San's transfer is a normal transfer, not a direct appointment, so this needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel, the East and West Houses, and other government agencies, and these
As soon as the government heard that Zhang San was to be transferred back to the capital, they all went on holiday. Now they can't find anyone, so they have to wait until next year, but next year they will definitely find ways to delay it."
