After passing Tongguan Road, in front is Chang'an, which is now Jingzhao Mansion. After the Anshi Rebellion, Guanzhong was in decline.
Today's Shaanxi Road, also known as Shaanxi Zhuanshi Road, is located in Jingzhao Prefecture.
The transportation department is called Caosi, and the economic and strategic pacification envoy is called Shuaisi. In addition, the administrative units at the road level include Xiansi and Cangsi.
So is it bigger, Caosi or Shuaisi?
Because the establishment of the Shuaisi was to restrain the power of the Caosi, so as to prevent the other party from having the highest rank.
In fact, the four supervisory departments at the road level are not subordinate to each other.
Now, under the Shaanxi transfer envoy route, in the second year of Qingli, in order to cope with the attack of Xixia, four routes were divided into four: Yanyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan and Qinfeng routes to appease the envoy.
Therefore, along the Shaanxi route, there is one transport envoy and four management envoys. In the final analysis, Xue Xiang has the most power.
Cai Que asked Zhang Yue to go to the end of Jingzhao Mansion and enter the inn to rest for a while. The next day, Xue Xiangzhao returned to Jingzhao Mansion.
Zhang Yue went to see him immediately.
When we arrived at the transfer envoy, there were already many officials holding role books, and the official Li Zi was waiting in the corridor.
The Transportation Department has branches in various roads, and upon returning to the road, local officials and newly arrived officials must come forward to report.
When the officials on the left and right saw Zhang Yue, their eyes were dazzled. Who was this young official who was personally led by the famous man in front of the transfer envoy, Cai Que?
But when Cai Que led Zhang Yue to wait in front of the hall, a purple-robed official came out of the middle door with a group of staff to greet him.
But seeing this purple-robed official with a smile on his face, great hair, and excellent energy, he was none other than Xue Xiang, the messenger of fortune.
Zhang Yue stepped forward to greet him. Xue Xiang was in his forties, and his words were full of energy. As soon as he saw Zhang Yue, he smiled and said, "For the sake of being so close to each other, I can say that I can see through the autumn water."
Zhang Yue heard that Xue Xiang had just returned from Qinzhou and was going to visit another prefecture and county, but now he came here ahead of schedule.
"Listen to what Zhizheng said. It's a good drink to drink. I came to Qin today, and I will do my best to fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Xue Xiang spoke with great vigor and looked like he could not be rejected.
Xue Xiang said to his subordinates: "Is the dismounting banquet ready?"
"Ready."
Xue Xiang looked at Zhang Yue and made an invitation gesture. Now that people have arrived at the end of the field, the guests can only do as they please.
Zhang Yue smiled so much that he cupped his hands, and the two of them made concessions before walking into the banquet hall.
Xue Xiang sat in the main seat, while he himself sat in the guest seat. In the left and right corridors of the banquet hall, officials were seated.
Zhang Yue noticed that his wine glass was much wider than usual.
Xue Xiang, who was in charge of Zhang Yue, was looking at him with amusement.
But I saw Xue Xiangyan said: "I am from Yinbu, and the officials I admire the most are the officials who are Jinshi. And Zhang Xueshi is the first person to be Jinshi. I admire him even more. I will offer you this glass of wine first."
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "I have heard that Commander Cao has managed Shaanxi well. Not only does he have a mountain of prestige, but even the Tibetan tribe and Xixia rely on Commander Cao's kindness. I should offer you this glass of wine first."
Zhang Yue and Xue Xiang had a drink together, and the whole hall burst into applause.
Zhang Yue felt that the wine was very strong and it was a large cup.
At this time, a staff member stood up and said: "I heard this..."
Officials in the banquet hall toasted to Zhang Yue one after another. Zhang Yue refused to refuse anyone who came and drank one cup at a time without changing his expression.
All the officials tasted this wine and got drunk after just three cups. However, Zhang Yue drank seven or eight cups in a row and was impressed by it.
Cai Que was afraid that Zhang Yue would harm his body by drinking too much, so he said, "If you save me, I'll drink this cup for you!"
Zhang Yue smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing an official getting up to propose a toast to Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue personally held the cup in front of Xue Xiang. The officials were stunned when they saw this scene.
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I admired the name of Ambassador Xue Yun for a long time when I was in the Third Division. Now that I have met him, I am particularly friendly. How about I pay tribute to Ambassador Xue Yun again?"
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "That's fine."
Zhang Yue and Xue Xiang drank from the same cup and said, "I'll go change my clothes first."
After saying this, Zhang Yue walked to the toilet, pressed his throat with his hand, and spit out all the wine in his stomach.
Then Zhang Yue cheered up and returned to the banquet hall. Seeing Zhang Yue's expression as usual, Xue Xiang thought to himself, this guy is also a ruthless person.
Seeing this scene, Xue Xiang stopped urging him to drink. He smiled and said to Zhang Yue: "Scholar Zhang is really a good drinker. I always admire people who have a good drinker. They are courageous, can go out and do great things without risking their lives."
"You have only been in office for half a year, and yet you managed to transfer him to prison. Your courage and courage are truly remarkable."
Zhang Yue said: "The Jiaoyin Prison is jointly run by the Third Division and the Shaanxi Transportation Bureau. Now the official is only in charge temporarily, and I don't know what he can do. Maybe tomorrow the imperial court will issue an edict to abolish the supervisory department. This is impossible to say.
It’s accurate.”
Xue Xiang's smile did not diminish after hearing this and said: "I think all the princes in the dynasty agreed with this matter very much. Jiefu also wrote to me saying that he would provide a lot of help."
"Sister Zhang, what do you think the situation is like at our Jingzhao Prefecture's Exchange?"
Zhang Yue said: "Like the one in Xijing, the Bianjing Exchange invests 500,000 yuan here. The branch office exchanges gold and silver for gold and silver in the same way as the Bianjing Exchange, but it is slightly different."
"How to say?"
Zhang Yue said: "The Bianjing Exchange and Citation Office is closed every ten days, which means that nine out of ten days can be used to redeem exchanges."
"But at the Jingzhao and Xijing branch offices, one person is chosen to bid for transactions on two days, and the exchange is only for half a day. The Jingzhao office exchanges single days, and Xijing exchanges double days. After the Jingzhao office exchanges the price, it will send out today's banknote price overnight.
The posthorse took the Xiaodao Road to report to Xijing, changing horses all the way without changing people. The next day, the Xijing branch exchanged the banknotes based on yesterday's Jingzhao quotation. Finally, it was reported to Bianjing."
"This can ensure that the banknote prices in Jingzhao, Xijing and Bianjing are consistent, preventing them from going up and down, and integrating east and west."
Xue Xiangshen nodded in agreement and said: "It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"
Zhang Yue said: "Nowadays, Bianjing can only redeem seven or eight thousand seats a day, but after the opening of the Jingzhao and Xijing branch offices, there will be at least three or four thousand seats each, and Jingzhao House may have more. According to five hundred
As far as the writing fee is concerned, you can earn up to thirty thousand guan per month, and as for other things...it doesn't matter."
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he took a sip of tea. The officials on the left and right were shocked when they heard the number. They whispered to each other and nodded. Xue Xiang also showed his interest.
Xue Xiang's Shaanxi Yunsi Company is the largest shareholder of Jiaoyinjian, so he knows very well the accounts reported by Zhang Yue.
He knew that what Zhang Yue said was true.
Xue Xiangdao: "Xueshi Zhang is a rising star. I admire your skill and courage. I agree with the Jingzhao Branch, but Xueshi Zhang comes from Bianjing and is not familiar with the geography of Shaanxi."
"Our Jingzhao Branch still uses local people from our hometown, so we can do things with peace of mind. As for the money, our Shaanxi Transportation Bureau can issue fifty guan worth of salt banknotes or gold and silver. Each of our brothers can get this share."
Half, what do you think?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself that the shares were easy to negotiate, but the personnel rights would not be compromised.
Everyone present held their breaths. This matter was also the point where Xue Xiang and Sansi had been at loggerheads.
Zhang Yue said to Xue Xiang: "Commander Cao, if we continue to argue about this matter, it will not help. I have agreed to you. I can't explain the entire three divisions to Mr. Cai. We might as well do this. I will find a way to help luck."
The company adds hundreds of thousands of yuan every year, so how about all matters in this division are subject to my opinion?"
Xue Xiang asked doubtfully after hearing this: "Is the bachelor joking?"
But Zhang Yue stood up and whispered a few words into Xue Xiang's ear.
After hearing this, Xue Xiang's expression changed. He thought for a moment and clapped his legs and said, "If this method is feasible, all matters related to the division and introduction will be left to the bachelor's decision!"
