Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding coughed and said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Taiwei said is not unreasonable, but it is fundamental to guide tea farmers to plant more tea."

"How to guide?"

"Currently our tea is grown in 278 counties in 12 provinces and 70 prefectures," Zhao Ding said, "especially in Shaanxi and Sichuan, where the annual output can reach 30 million kilograms."

This output was already very high in the Song Dynasty.

People in the Song Dynasty were also very passionate about tea.

Tea emerged in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi also said: Tea for the common people is equivalent to rice and salt, and cannot be used up in a day.

Zhao Ding continued: "However, tea prefers warm temperatures but is not cold-tolerant. It needs rain and cannot be grown in many places in the north. The south is more suitable. Rice is grown in the southeast, and the national policy has decided to change rice to mulberry. Tea can be grown in

Among the mountains, I think tea can be grown in the mountains of Zhejiang, Zhejiang, and Fujian."

"Then how to guide people to grow tea in large quantities?" Zhao Ning asked again.

You can’t give tax exemption to tea farmers, right?

In a complex system, it cannot be solved with just one sentence of tax exemption.

If we give tax exemption to those who grow tea, then next year many farmers will go to grow tea. They were originally growing rice, but they will turn to growing tea. It would be strange if the price of grain does not rise.

Zhao Ding thought for a while and said: "If there are interests, there will be people chasing after them. It is not difficult to expand the tea garden. There is no need to reduce taxes. We only need to set corresponding assessment tasks for the officials of Zhejiang Road and Fujian Road, but we cannot waver.

The task of food production.”

Wang Zonglio said: "But in this case, there will still be officials who force farmers to convert their fields into tea gardens in order to complete the task of growing tea."

"The market price of grain is not absolutely related to whether some farmers are farming, but is related to the total amount of grain in a region. It is impossible for the court to instruct local officials on how to govern the place. The court cannot see the true situation of the place." Zhao Ding said, "So, we

The tasks we want to achieve must be handed over to local officials for execution."

"Xiangong Zhao is right," Zhao Ning said, "how local officials implement it is a matter for local officials. If the court interferes with the local government affairs of the Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road, then it will not care about the other twenty-two roads?"

"But……"

"If there is a problem during this implementation, is it the responsibility of the court or the local officials?" Zhao Ning continued, "If various problems arise during the process, when adjustments should be made, the local officials are aware of it but cannot

When making decisions, how does the court know about these issues and make decisions quickly?"

We have to admit the fact that the relationship between the imperial court and local governments must be based on the two-dimensional system of authorization and responsibility.

There is both management and gaming.

This is true even in the 21st century.

The Song Dynasty just liked to control things too closely, and the court had to control everything.

"If the troubles in Champa and Jiaozhi are resolved, the grain transported from the sea can be used as grain reserves for local grain storage trading companies." Zhao Ding continued, "Isn't Wang Taiwei pushing for the establishment of grain storage trading companies in various places?

, when overseas grain increases, local control methods on grain prices can be more flexible, which will also be of great benefit to tea growers."

Wang Zonglio then sighed and said: "I hope the troubles in Champa and Jiaozhi will be resolved soon, so that it can reduce some pressure on my place and give me more confidence in tea cultivation."

"Then let's give Fujian Road and Liangzhe Road the task of growing tea." Zhao Guanjia said, "I think the performance evaluation of other people should be the same. The court gives goals, but multiple goals must be set, and tea cannot be grown.

, The rice fields have been lost, let alone the iron mines, and the water canals have been lost.”

Zhao Ding said: "I mean the same thing, and the post of chief envoy in the New Deal is useful in the local area. I think it is time to comprehensively restructure the transfer envoy. From now on, the transfer envoy's office will supervise water transportation and canal digging in various places.

Road construction, civil affairs and food production can all be handed over to the chief envoy."

"Yes, just follow what Mr. Zhao said." Zhao Ning said.

Wang Zonglio said: "What about the Dali Kingdom?"

Zhao Ning asked: "What did you mean when you said earlier that some officials in the court opposed your proposal?"

"It's to regain Dali."

Zhao Ding said: "Dali has always had a very good relationship with our country. There is no reason to use troops rashly. Let alone convince the surrounding countries, our own people cannot be convinced. Our own people cannot be convinced. How can we succeed in this matter?"

thing."

Zhao Ning nodded.

He knows that governing the country is not just a click of a mouse or a word from his official Zhao family, everyone will work hard and carry it out without complaint.

If governing the country was so simple, wouldn’t anyone be able to govern the country?

To do something big, you must first have a reason that most people truly believe in.

In other words, you have to be famous, otherwise how can you mobilize the masses?

Zhao Ning said: "Recall Zhang Bangchang and learn from him about the current internal affairs of Dali State first. There is no rush. The results of the war between Champa City and Jiaozhi have not yet been sent."

Wang Zongli didn't say much. Since Zhao Guan's family wanted to recall Zhang Bangchang, it meant that he had the idea of ​​​​moving Dali.

That place in Dali is so suitable for growing tea!

After Wang Zonglio left, he sighed: "Qian Yuqing, you must take down the Champa Kingdom!"

After returning to Zhengshi Hall, Zhao Ding began to assign tasks to Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road.

In fact, it is not difficult for the imperial court to govern local areas. It sets overall goals and distributes them to local areas. While authorizing the tasks, it also establishes the responsibilities of the tasks, clearly explains the punishments and rewards, and clearly explains the red lines. For example, when expanding tea gardens, you must not change the land without permission.

If you want the people below to complete their tasks, you must strictly implement rewards and punishments.

Zhao Ning is still confident about expanding tea production.

During the Song Dynasty, Shaanxi and Sichuan produced the most tea, but as time went on, the areas of Zhejiang, Zhejiang, Fujian and Dali produced the most tea.

In other words, the total tea production does still have a lot of room for improvement.

As long as the policy is implemented well, it can rise quickly.

April 20th.

Qian Yuqing met a private businessman named Sangbo in Champa City.

Li Kun said: "Shaoqing, this is Sangbo. He has purchased a lot of grain for us from the private sector."

Sang Bo said in choked Chinese: "See Qian Shaoqing."

"You actually still speak the official dialect of the Song Dynasty?"

"I used to trade a lot with people from the Song Dynasty, so I learned a lot." Sang Bo said with an honest smile.

As a businessman, Qian Yuqing would not be deceived by Sang Bo's honest smile.

Qian Yuqing said: "I have something to ask you."

"Please tell me, Young Master."

"Now you use our Song Dynasty copper coins to trade, but the quantity of copper coins is limited after all. Where there are no copper coins, what do you use to trade?"

The copper coins of the Song Dynasty were really the international currency in the 12th century and were liked by all countries, including Champa.

"We exchange things for things." Sangbo said.

"Exchanging things for things is too troublesome for transactions." Qian Yuqing said, "It is impossible to measure whether both parties are making money or losing money."

"There is nothing we can do about it. We don't have the ability to mint currency."

Qian Yuqing smiled and said: "Look at my proposal, what do you think? I have a very good piece of paper here marked with 100 Wen. You can use it to buy goods from me."

Sang Bo was stunned for a moment: "Buy something?"

"right."

"Where can I find this magical paper?"
