"In fact, if a court wants to make money, there is no need to start from the people. There are good places to make money everywhere. Treasury bonds are just a side door. If the country wants to keep the country rich and safe, there is a better way. Take the most familiar maritime merchants as an example. Sometimes their funds are not sufficient, and they often cannot be done when they can make money. If the country can set up a special agency to lend them the wealthy money in the treasury, let them use it to make money, and then pay part of the interest of the country, wouldn't it be a win-win situation? Don't underestimate this income. If it is really done, the money will probably be a big number, which will make the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue make his mouth sneer. Moreover, once this lending business is done, it will occupy a lot of people, and every big city

All the cities can set up such institutions, and those redundant officials can be arranged to work in these institutions, and they still serve the court, which is no different from being an official. This is called financial institutions. With financial institutions, there must be corresponding supervisory institutions, such as the Financial Management Bureau, and some redundant officials can be arranged. Although there are many institutions, the added institutions are good deals for making money for the country. They not only do not spend a penny in the treasury, but also create profits for the treasury. This is saving money." Hong Tao felt that it was not enough to just create a treasury bond, and he could also create a national bank. By the way, he could also let those officials who were idle and work in the bank. It was the same as the redundant soldiers to build a corps.

There are questions and answers, and they can speak in a good way. Every time they cut the central meridian, the meeting will be difficult to end in a short time. The more Emperor Lizong listened to the more questions, he wanted to take out his harem and let Hong Tao come up with ideas. Hong Tao was not idle either. He also had a lot of questions about the Song Dynasty. Now it's just right, it's better to ask anyone the Emperor and the Prime Minister. Don't just take things from me, I have to get some from you, this is a good deal.

It was obvious that we couldn't finish so much talk in one day, and it was unrealistic to chat while eating sea breeze at night, so the meeting was divided into three parts, from sunrise to sunset every day. Then, the boats of the same boat came to the neutral boat the next day and continued to chat. This time, Hong Tao was a little more generous and allowed Emperor Lizong to bring two more followers, because the emperor didn't quite understand some questions. He had to ask professionals to get accurate answers. In addition, some written records also needed someone to do. He couldn't let the prime minister, the emperor, hold paper and pen, write with his head and pen like a primary school student.

"Oh, several people were ate and drank for several days, and finally gave me such a thing Lao Wen. Do you think it's easy for me to do some good things? This is my family's great business. Otherwise, they will be poor if they have not yet done a good thing! Look at your right prime minister, who is very sensible when talking about people, and he is also charging forward when eating. He dares to grab the skewers from the emperor's hands. Before leaving, he took away half a pound of sauce with his beard. He still has some prospects?" Three days later, serious things happened.

Finally, the talk was almost done. The emperor and these ministers could not always accompany Hong Tao to eat the wind on the sea. There was still a lot of things to deal with. They patted their butts, patted their stomachs and ran away. Hong Tao spoke for three days, and then took out a meal and took tea. In the end, he only got an appointment. The person above was not him, but Wen Nan. Now Wen Nan was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. He restored his identity as a citizen of the Song Dynasty and obtained an official position, called the boat transfer envoy!

This official position was not available in the Song Dynasty, and was temporarily unveiled, a standard short commander. He had no rights, no formal establishment, and no funding. The only thing he had was the extra-staff organization of the Ministry of War. He obtained permission to pass through the waters of the Song Dynasty and could also form a rural soldier of only 5,000 people. In addition, he obtained a temporary land in the Mingzhou Port. He could be used as a warehouse. In the future, he could transport all kinds of materials from the fleet under the command of the adults to hoard them here first. As for whether the warehouse is enough, he had to find a way.

As for other projects, Emperor Lizong listened very seriously and asked his followers to take a lot of notes. But he couldn't agree. He couldn't make the decision at all. He just talked about it lively. After three days of cheating and drinking, he had to discuss with the ministers in the court before making a decision. What does it mean to make a decision? In the later generations, the leaders said that they had a meeting to study and study. You can wait. If you really had a meeting to study, you can almost get a recovery after you die.

But Hong Tao was helpless about this situation. Through chatting with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and those ministers over the past few days, he finally had a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the national structure of the Song Dynasty, at least in terms of law. It was not that Song Lizong didn't want to immediately implement the methods Hong Tao said to save the situation and save his country. The problem is that he does not have this right and cannot take this board.

Can't the king of a country be ordered to do anything? The emperor said nothing and said nothing, and said the law, so who dares not listen? This is the emperor of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was really not so readily. He was a Void King!

The concept of Xujun, Hong Tao always thought that it was from Britain. It was not until these two days that he realized that the concept of Xujun was purely domestic, and it was Confucianism. "The arch and the arch and the arch are governed without being under the seat." These Confucianisms all contained the meaning of Xujun. When Cheng Yi, a Neo-Confucianist of the Northern Song Dynasty, he clearly stated: "Those who enter the position are Yao and Shun; those who perform the way are Yi and Fu."

This sentence is also the consensus of the scholar-official class of the Song Dynasty. They made clear statements countless times that the emperor, such as Yao and Shun, were just sovereigns in the world; Yi Yin and Fu said that such prime ministers were the actual managers. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there was not only the prototype of the Void King, but also the system of reality to assist, which was very close to the constitutional monarchy and the system of prime ministers in later generations.

Is this system considered advanced? It should be counted that power must be bound by constraints. Whether it is imperial power or ministerial power, once the constraint is lost, it will inevitably harm the country and the people. History has proved this truth with countless tragedies. Moreover, this idea was not advocated by the West. Since Yao and Shun, the emperor was chosen by everyone, and it was a cicada to give way, but it was later destroyed by Dayu's son. Otherwise, this thing would probably be passed down, and there would be no need to kill blood every time the imperial power was changed.

With the Xujun, the truth, the monster of power was restricted. Are there checks and balances? Not yet, the imperial power was restricted, but the prime minister's power was a bit too big. What should I do? Hong Tao also asked Zheng Qingzhi this way at that time. Old Zheng Xi's words were like gold, so he spit out two words, "The censor!"

The Song Dynasty was the dynasty that attached the most importance to the censorship system in history. The censorship held the rights of administrative supervision, impeachment, judicial review, etc. As long as the censorship believes that it violated the regulations, even the edicts and laws issued by the emperor and the prime minister have the right to pursue it. It is amazing! What surprised Hong Tao even more was that the censorship department was completely independent. His officials only accepted the appointment of the emperor and had nothing to do with the prime minister's government. The prime minister can appoint and remove hundreds of officials, but he has no right to manage the censorship. There is also a clear provision that the relatives of the prime minister and the disciples of the government cannot be censored. If a relative of a censor becomes the prime minister or serves in the government, then you can only keep one of them. Or you resign as the censor, or he should not do it.

In this way, the power of the Song Dynasty was divided into two parts, one was the imperial power, the other was the prime minister's power, and there was also a censor who was supervising next to it, like the Western system of separation of powers? Of course, the system of separation of powers in the Song Dynasty was still very rough, not as detailed as later generations, and sometimes it would go astray. For example, the powers of the Shi Miyuan would appear, and the phenomenon of censors becoming tools for party struggles. However, its direction is correct, and you just need to explore slowly in the long river of history.

Slow adjustments will always tend to be perfect. It is always more reliable than if one person had the final say in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. A group of people representing different interests sit together and argue, and finally a decision that everyone can accept is definitely more balanced than a certain person or a group who makes a decision out of their own interests. A country does not lie in how fast it runs. The most important thing is to run in the right direction, and then don’t always fall. As long as you stick to the momentum of progress, it is not a disadvantage to slow down.

Hong Tao planned to be a escort helper for the Southern Song Dynasty, help it sort out the external environment, and don't let it be beaten passively. It is like a flowering plant, the most fragile period. If the flowers are blown away by the wind and rain, there will be no fruit to bear. No matter whether the fruit it eventually bears sweet or bitter, Hong Tao wants to wait and see. After all, this is the choice of a nation, and he has no right to interfere with it, and there is no need to force it to reverse it. What he thinks is not necessarily right. If he intervenes arbitrarily according to his preferences, what is the difference between himself and those who make decisions?

According to Hong Tao's plan, it is best to continue to develop the Southern Song Dynasty, and do whatever it can be. This is just part of his attempt. Jinhewan will also change the management model sooner or later. Big pot rice cannot be eaten all the time, which is another model. In addition, there are many places where experiments can be conducted. Hong Tao plans to turn them into experimental fields, manage them with different political systems, and then see which method has advantages and disadvantages. He will be content to achieve this step. Life is only a few decades, and it is impossible to see more things. Anyway, this time travel will be rewarded. As long as the grandson in heaven does not allow himself to travel to the primitive society next time, he can continue the experiment below. With these preparatory steps, Hong Tao believes that he will play more skillfully and purposefully in the next time travel. (To be continued.)
