Chapter 722 Mine for Murder(1/2)
Agarwood is wood, not wood. It is the heart of trees such as white wood fragrance or agarwood. Because it is trauma or fungal infection, it secretes a fragrant resin. After decades of accumulation among the people, it produces spices. [Fast updates, refreshing website pages, few advertisements, I like this website the most, so I must review it]
That is, if there is no lesions, there will be no spices. Even if there is a lesions, it will take a long time to accumulate and it is just a small part of the heart of the tree.
Therefore, the output is extremely low and the price is expensive.
But this is not a difficult place that Wang Gui said, and Lao Wang said it was difficult to do, because it was a business project of the inner warehouse, which not only had nothing to do with the Secretary of the Central Committee, but even the Three Departments were inconvenient to intervene. Even if it was proposed, it would often make the emperor unhappy. It was nothing else, the inner warehouse was a small treasury of the royal family!
Wang Ju called a clerk and said, "You go to the Sansi and invite the envoy Li to discuss matters."
After a while, Li Chengzhi was brought. After Wang Ju showed him the memorial, he also told him about his idea of allowing the sea ship to enter Zhuya Port to supplement the supply, and the idea of rectifying the minister's money.
The Secretariat has this right, but it also requires the cooperation of the three departments.
Li Chengzhi frowned. The previous suggestions were easier to pass. At worst, he could allocate some funds to build a small trading market on the port border, or allocate more funds to repair the surrounding roads.
≠ However, the latter is more cumbersome.
However, the minister's money has indeed reached the point where it cannot be rectified.
He finally put the money in his head and said, "I will go back and check the remaining issues such as the non-standard taxation of the salt administration. If it is really serious, the court can send officials to deal with it. But the matter of agarwood has nothing to do with the three departments."
"I can write a letter to the official family and ask for instructions on this, but I call you to come. There is another thing I want to discuss, which is to rectify the department."
The court raised many people, officials, soldiers and relatives of the royal family. Therefore, in addition to taxes, they also needed to buy some necessary materials and grain, which resulted in the formation of scientific and technological allocation and harmonious food. Technical allocation refers to various commodities, and harmonious food refers to specializing in purchasing grain from the south or some grain-producing areas.
Generally speaking, the court sets the prices of statutory and quarantine based on market prices, but it is deducted from them at all levels. Therefore, no matter which merchant or the common man is quarantined by statutory and quarantine, it will inevitably be miserable.
For example, in the past Duan inkstones, the people of Duanzhou did not benefit from Duan inkstones, but instead became the biggest disadvantage. Therefore, Bao Zheng wrote a letter to ban the relevant Duan inkstones.
There is also Suining Frosting. In history, Bao Zheng has not appeared, so under the harm of Kep, Suining's frosting industry has rapidly shrunk.
But the data presented by Zhu Chuping is even more shocking. The price of agarwood that is always aged, is only 130 cents!
I believe there are similar cruel scientific partners.
Therefore, Wang Ju followed this memorial to rectify some seriously unreasonable academic staff.
Although the degree of responsibility is not cancelled, the merchants and people who are assigned to the degree can barely bear it.
"Zi'an, how to deal with Li Dong?" Wang Gui asked.
"Prince, I plan to write a letter to the official family. I ask that an official go to Qiongzhou and then give it to Zhu Zhizhou to deal with it cheaply. As for the people of Lidong... I send a letter to the official family, asking the Xifu to issue a transfer order, and allocate two thousand officers and soldiers from Guangnan West Road to Qiongzhou to cooperate with Zhu Zhizhou. Then let Zhu Zhizhou negotiate with the leaders of each town to restrain the people. Then make an oath. For the Baojia, it is fine to avoid harassing the people."
That’s all. Besides, there are no problems in that area. Can it be completely rectified?
"Li Sizhi, have you calculated that account?"
"Prince, I have to wait."
This account calculation is too complicated.
Wang Anshi's reform was originally a method of equal loss, but in fact it was a big comprador.
After the failure of the equal-transportation method, it was transferred to the Southern Nine Road Shipping Department.
In fact, before this, the shipping department existed, sometimes it was built and sometimes it was abandoned, and it was divided into two places, one was the six routes in the south, two Zhejiang, Jinghu, and Jiangzhun. The other was Sanmenxia, which was used to turn over Shaanxi materials. The latter was only once or twice, and the time was very short, mainly the former. Its responsibilities were transporting, responsible for transporting southeast materials to the capital, and then transferring them from the capital to the north and northwest. The other was to buy, buy grain, and buy cloth, but mostly it was grain, that is, food, and food.
Wang Anshi reset the 9th Road Shipping Department, and the nature of the 9th Road has changed. Not only transportation and buying, but also responsible for the regulation of the 9th Road in the South, adding the two functions of stabilizing prices and saving waste.
Next is Shiyisi, which is its nature to stabilize prices and crack down on illegal merchants’ hoarding. It also clarifies one function, that is, sell!
The Southern Shipping Department has not been banned, but it has returned to its previous function, only responsible for transportation and purchase. Part of the remaining rights has returned to the hands of various transportation departments and lifting departments, and part of them serves the Municipal Service.
So it is very difficult to compare this account.
But Li Shouzhi said again: "If savings are also regarded as income, then the current Shiyi Department might as well return to the original Jiulu Shipping Department."
How can saving be income?
Moreover, it is related to the integration of Yunnan Road and Jiaozhi Road.
Wang Ju nodded with satisfaction. The old party had moderates, and the new party had moderates, such as Li Chengzhi, Wang Zhen, and Zhu Chuping, all belonged to the moderate new party.
The views of these people are closer to Wang Ju's ideas.
"Sir Li, continue to check, otherwise I can't convince everyone."
"OK."
"Give another order to allocate some money from Guangnan to support the four prefectures of Qiongzhou Island."
There is nothing we can do about this. Wang Ju used money in the south very happily and no one cared about it. Not only was the court granted Wang Ju the power, but it was mainly because the south was expensive and the court did not support it. The remaining expenses were mostly from spoils, or Wang Ju paid for it himself.
When you arrive at the court, you must abide by the court system.
The Secretary of the Central Committee can ask about financial turnover, but it must be carried out by the three departments.
Zhu Chuping also wrote an incident: Hainan people are poor, so they borrow more from wealthy families. The interest rate doubles every year, increasing the profit, thus preventing children from hiring their children and getting out of their lives. The loan sharks of the Song Dynasty were really hateful, but Wang Ju really had no choice.
When Li Chengzhi returned to the Sansi, Wang Ju wrote down this memorial and his ideas and gave it to Zhao Xu.
But soon, the attack came.
At the third day of the dynasty meeting, Sun Gujin advised: "The Secretariat proposed to allocate an additional 2,000 troops from the inland Guangnan to Qiongzhou Island. Is Qiongzhou in chaos? If it is not chaotic, why should two thousand officers and soldiers be sent?"
His subtitle is that if Qiongzhou is not in chaos, Wang Ju proposed to allocate two thousand officers and soldiers, which would be a waste of money and cause trouble. If nothing happens, then what did you do in charge of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi before?
Wang Ju sarcastically said: "Sun Gong, does the Liao Kingdom have the intention to swallow my Song Dynasty now? If so, why did Mr. Sun propose to be quiet and inaction many times? If not, why would our dynasty station hundreds of thousands of troops on the Hebei Hedong border?"
In fact, Wang Ju proposed to increase the number of 2,000 officers and soldiers, which was to intimidate, but to fight, which was of the same nature as the large number of troops stationed in Hebei and Hedong.
With the arrival of two thousand officers and soldiers, we can deal with the arable land disputes with the local Li people, otherwise these ills in Qiongzhou will continue.
Sun Gu intentionally pointed out that the deer was a horse, so Wang Ju attacked his shield with his spear.
Then Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, when I received this memorial from Zhu Chuping, some people in the Secretariat were worried that I would be impeached because of this. The minister went south mainly to pacify Jiaozhi, so the focus was on Guangnan West Road, and he was a little negligent in Qiongzhou. Of course, it was also the dereliction of duty of the minister. If the court punished me, I would have no complaints. But don't be fooled by insults, pointing out deer as a horse or attacking me with flaws. If so, I'm afraid that any local officials in any prefecture and county will not be able to handle government affairs well."
Is Wang Ju really wrong?
Or maybe it was said that there was, at least it was negligence.
However, Wang Ju went south to destroy Jiaozhi, and this is the main one. As for managing Guangnan, it was just by the way. In fact, after pacifying Jiaozhi and Dali, it was already very good to still be able to manage Guangnan West Road into that shape.
If you have to find bones in the egg, not only Wang Ju, but no official can do anything.
Sun Gu was speechless.
Zhao Xu said: "Wang Qing and Sun Qing should not argue. Because Qiongzhou is far overseas, the imperial court rarely pays attention to it, and there are indeed many disadvantages. For example, the agarwood science and technology, after receiving the report from Wang Qing, I asked the warehouse to check it. The price of science and technology was actually the price of Taizong. If it weren't for Zhu Zhizhou's letter, I wouldn't even know about it. There was a lot of chaos in the minister's money. When it came time to rectify it, it would be corrected. If there was no, it would be encouraged. Just deal with it according to what Wang Qing said. Please don't argue again."
After the scattering, I returned to the Secretariat.
Wang Zhen said admiringly: "Prince, it's great to deal with it like this."
He was very worried that this memorial would cause trouble for the abolition of the Market Law, but Wang Huo made it easy, and there was no problem.
"Prince, it is not a big deal, but it is different if you want to abolish the law of the market..." Wang Ju said.
Even if the ministerial money is rectified, it is not abolishing the law or reforming the law. It is just a normal fine-tuning of the court affairs, so the controversy will not be too great.
However, if you involve reform and abolish the law, wait and make trouble.
Wang Zhen glanced suspiciously at Zhang Yu in the distance, and Wang Ju whispered: "It's not Mr. Zhang, if it's Mr. Zhang, it would be easier."
The weather gradually became colder.
The court was surprisingly quiet and we were waiting.
Even one day when he went to court, Li Chengzhi whispered to Wang Ju: "Prince, I feel like I'm feeling uncomfortable these days."
They are all waiting for him to settle the accounts...
"Li Sizhi, don't think so much. It will be very lively in the future, but you will only come to me, it has nothing to do with you."
“Why?”
"There are many reasons. I don't form a clique. I think about doing things a little radical, not likeable, and I have military merits. What happened to Di Qing? Have you forgotten? When did I turn me into Di Qing in the fifth year of Jiayou, and let me leave the court in disgrace, and when will it be quiet."
Li Chengzhi was speechless.
However, Wang Ju got a good opportunity.
On this day, Zhang Quanzhi returned from the south in a simple manner.
Wang Ju was not surprised, but was puzzled: "Brother Changguo, why are you back?"
Because Zhang Quanzhi arrived at the other side and presided over the governance of the other side. He suddenly came back at this time. Could it be that something happened on the other side?
"Good news, good news."
Just good news, Wang Ju asked Zhang Quanzhi to sit down.
Zhang Quanzhi took a sip of tea and said, "Congratulations to Shaobao for becoming the priest."
"This slaughter will not be too long."
“Huh?”
"What good news?" Wang Ju asked again without explaining.
"Shaobao, the craftsmen who were looking for mines on the other side found a gold mine. According to the craftsmen's speculation, that gold mine could mine at least a few million taels of gold. In the first month, when they were not prepared enough, they mined nearly 20,000 taels of gold."
This data scared Han Yunfei'er together.
One tael of gold was equivalent to 20,000 liters in the Song Dynasty, and several million taels of gold, how much does that cost?
To be continued...
