It's not that Zhao Ning deliberately dug a hole for Qin Hui.

Whoever wants to do something will not make mistakes?

The conversion of rice to mulberry was a regional new policy of the Song Dynasty. Since it was a new policy, there were numerous pitfalls ahead.

Many people don't even ask him to carry out the new policy. They are afraid that if the leaders hold a meeting and ask him to give a speech, he will not be able to speak clearly and his head will be muddy.

The river in front is not only filled with rocks, but also has deep water areas. This is absolutely true.

All kinds of problems will arise one after another.

It would be best to let Qin Hui do this.

Of course, since Zhao Ning has noticed the unavoidable problems in Qin Hui's plan, which may even lead to failure, he will definitely have a backup plan.

After chatting with Qin Hui, Zhao Ning Wang Huaiji sent Zhang Bangchang's report to Zhao Ding.

The implication was to ask him to summon the governors to discuss Dali's fight against the Celestial Empire.

I can't stand the tea war any longer!

At noon, Zhao Ning went to Ruisi Hall to find Qian Jinshu for lunch.

Zhao Ning suddenly said: "Is it possible to plant mulberry trees in Hangzhou?"

Qian Jinshu put down her chopsticks and asked with some confusion: "Are the officials planning to change rice into mulberry?"

"That's the idea."

"My brother came to visit my concubine the day before yesterday. He also mentioned the issue of planting mulberry trees in Hangzhou."

"How did he say?"

"If the government wants to forcefully intervene in this matter, many problems will arise," Qian Jinshu said.

Zhao Ning's heart moved, and she immediately became curious: "What's the problem?"

"In order to complete their tasks, the local government will not care about the life and death of the people. If the people are unwilling to change, the local officials may send people to trample the farmland forcibly. If there is a civil uprising, it will be troublesome."

As expected, Qian Jinshu has been doing business with her brother in the private sector since she was a child, and she is very knowledgeable about some issues at the grassroots level.

"The sapling period of mulberry trees lasts three years. If the people are forced to change from rice to mulberry, what will the people eat in three years?" Qian Jinshu said, "So it must be against it."

“What if the government subsidizes it?”

"What the officials mean is to allocate money from the national treasury as a subsidy."

"Just take it as such."

In fact, printing money is also possible.

“Do officials trust the integrity of local officials so much?”

Zhao Ning laughed: "Do you think the local supervisory offices of the imperial court are just decorations?"

"Since the officials are so confident, I have nothing to say." Qian Jinshu laughed.

"You are right, there are indeed great risks here." Zhao Ning said.

"So, there must be another way." Qian Jinshu picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and started eating.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes, I have!"

"What do you think."

"Contracted to private individuals, banks provide loans to private individuals, and private individuals pay for the purchase of farmland and hire farmers to plant mulberry fields."

"Is this your idea or Qian Yuqing's?"

"My brother's."

"I'm afraid it's what you think."

"It's my brother's."

Sure enough, the thinking patterns of businessmen and officials are still different.

"Actually, it was also inspired by what officials call the 'invisible hand'. After contracting to private individuals, the private individuals will be responsible for their own profits and losses. They will calculate the accounts themselves, so that the flow of money will follow the laws of business and will not

There is forceful interference by power, resulting in abuse of power for personal gain.”

Zhao Ning added: "We can't eliminate it, we can only reduce it. For example, buying land requires control. As long as control is involved, there will be power interference and corruption, but this has controlled the risk to a very small level."

situation."

"Actually, the officials were very clear in their minds. When they wrote "The Wealth of Nations", which mentioned the invisible hand and spontaneous order, they were already planning to change rice to mulberry, right?"

"You do know a lot!"

"When I first read it, I didn't understand it. Later, my brother once mentioned to me the silk issue in sea trade, and when I thought of the change of rice to mulberry in the southeast, I suddenly understood."

Zhao Ning added a lot of his own understanding to his "The Wealth of Nations", integrating some of the theories of Taoism, Keynesianism, Adam Smith and Hayek.

Of course, it was assisted by the official system and economic foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Keynesianism emphasizes macro-control at the national level.

But regional and micro issues cannot be effectively solved using Keynesianism.

What to do?

At this time, it must be left to the private market.

The market itself is an invisible hand. On the premise of controlling the general direction, the micro state allows the market to appear spontaneously and operate in accordance with business laws.

That's what Qian Jinshu said, private contracting.

In the evening, Zhao Ning summoned Qian Yuqing.

He asked Qian Yuqing to draft a "On Changing Rice to Mulberry Ce in Hangzhou Prefecture".

This is equivalent to asking Qin Hui and Qian Yuqing to conduct tests in different places at the same time, walking on two legs.

Find the advantages of each model from different models, make a final review and summary, and then implement them on a large scale.

The fact that Qin Hui took over the executive power to convert rice into mulberry in Jiangdong soon spread among the people.

For a time, all parties started talking about it.

Many people began to give gifts secretly.

Because of the change from rice to mulberry, some people have already smelled the money.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, morning.

Qian Yuqing was the first to come out. He said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to report."

"What's the matter?"

Qian Yuqing said: "I drafted a treatise on Changing Rice to Mulberry Ce in Hangzhou Prefecture."

As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar in the hall.

Isn't it Qin Hui's job to convert rice into mulberry? How come Qian Yuqing also contributed to it?

"Oh, let me take a look." Zhao Ning pretended not to know anything, took it and looked at it again.

Qin Hui stood in the crowd with a normal expression, but he probably guessed what Zhao Guan's family was thinking.

Zhao Guan's family asked Qian Yuqing to build one in Hangzhou, just to compete with each other.

For example, Qin Hui in Jiangdong gave all the money to the bureaucrats, but in the end nothing could be done about it, while Qian Yuqing in Hangzhou did not give the money to the bureaucrats and still got the thing done.

Then it won't work if Qin Hui makes all kinds of excuses and comes out as the scapegoat.

In other words, if you, Qin Hui, stuff money into the hands of the bureaucrats, even if the matter is accomplished, it will cost you more money, and your policies will fail.

This formed an invisible deterrent to Qin Hui's promotion of converting rice into mulberry in Jiangdong, forcing him to be more restrained when spending money to subsidize.

Comparison only hurts!

"Well, I've finished reading it. You can tell me what you think."

So Qian Yuqing said it again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ciweng, the Minister of Punishment and Qin Hui's number one henchman, jumped out immediately.

Wang Cweng mocked: "Qian Shangshu's idea is too naive."

"how do I say this?"
Chapter completed!
