Chapter 59 Only by charging money can you become stronger
Looking at the ministers who were congratulating and worshiping him respectfully in front of him, Zhao Zhen felt so happy that he could almost go to heaven.
The ministers of the Song Dynasty were all very arrogant!
So, he decided to show great kindness and said: "Early this morning, the Hanlin Medical Officer promoted Xu Xi from the Imperial Medical Bureau and sent someone to report it. He said that the trial of cowpox at the Hanlin Medical Officer's Hospital was successful, and all the vaccinated people recovered as usual.
No one got sick..."
"The so-called reward for meritorious deeds is the great gift of the country! I would like to order Xu Xi and others to be the first ministers of the two systems or above in Beijing, heirs of noble clans..."
In this official's view, this was simply a sign of God's grace and a good intention.
pity……
As soon as his words came out, the expressions of the ministers changed.
Especially Lu Yijian, a minister with a large clan like Ren Bu, looked a little stiff.
So, Zhao Zhen discovered it immediately.
He frowned, not quite understanding. It was the temper and demeanor he had developed over the years that kept him from having an attack.
But in my heart, it is inevitable to feel angry.
"Aye... Aye..." At this moment, Zhao Zhen heard his beloved son's voice ringing in his ears: "Erlang wants to congratulate Aye... All the ministers used by Aye have the world in mind and are worried about the common people...
…”
"Erlang recently read history and saw in the history books that Emperor Yao had virtuous ministers named Ji and Qi. Ji was ordered to teach the people the art of grain farming, and Qi was ordered to teach them how to cultivate grains. Since they were appointed, the two virtuous ministers have been
He sleeps well at night and works hard for the world, treating the people's drowning as his own drowning, and treating the people's hunger as his own hunger. As a result, Yao's government flourishes and the whole world is imbued with Yao's virtues!"
"Nowadays, Aye's ministers and Erlang think that they all have Ji and Qi's virtuous people. When they heard about Aye's reward, they were not happy at first, but instead worried about the people and the common people. If they want to retreat and give way to them, they should benefit the common people first..."
"This is all the virtue of Aye!"
After listening to this, Zhao Zhen's expression finally became warmer.
The ministers also immediately followed the donkey down the slope and paid homage one after another: "I don't dare to praise the Duke of the country, but I am just blessed by His Majesty's holy virtues. After hearing and seeing, I only imitate myself. It is inevitable that I will imitate others..."
Only then did Zhao Zhen feel relieved and said with a smile: "I really admire your humility!"
But he kept silent and never mentioned the matter of prioritizing the children of these prime minister clans.
Obviously, this official also has a taste for it - these ministers are not being modest, they are clearly trying to push back, fearing that the method will go wrong and their children will suffer.
In my heart, I inevitably became angry.
That is to say, he has a good temper. If it had been his father Zhenzong, I am afraid that for this matter, the prime minister and political parties present would have received a boat ticket for a trip with public funds from the state and county, and would not have to reflect outside for ten or eight years, or they would die.
I want to go back to Bianjing.
But Zhao Xin had a smile on her face and was very calm.
Because he had seen Zai Chen's reaction countless times in his previous life.
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty, including many who have great and bright images in history books, were upright, upright and selfless in other matters.
However, once it involves oneself, especially one's own fundamental interests.
That face...
Tsk tsk tsk...
Anyway, Zhao Xin’s previous life shattered countless historical filters.
This cowpox method is no exception.
In his previous life, after learning about the success of the cowpox method, he was just as excited as his father now and wanted to share this joy with the ministers, so he also gave an imperial edict to give priority to free vaccination for the children of ministers and clans with two or more systems.
And the ending is the same as now.
The ministers avoided it as if the cowpox method could kill them.
Therefore, Zhao Xin could only give up.
Zhao Xin had already seen through the civil servants of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Most of these people have never thought of themselves as the same kind of people as other people.
The vast majority of scholar-bureaucrats looked down on the billions of people in the Song Dynasty in an arrogant and condescending manner towards the common people, especially the peasants at the bottom.
For example, in Zhao Xin's previous life, because of the political reform, he heard Wen Yanbo say to him: Your Majesty governs the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people!
Look at this class consciousness!
Fortunately, Zhao Xin had dealt with these people all his life in his previous life.
There have been back and forths, and we even had the upper hand for a time.
Naturally, you know how to deal with these guys.
With just a slight movement in his heart, Zhao Xin hugged his father's neck and whispered softly: "Ah Ye, Erlang thought that since the Prime Minister and the political leaders are willing to be humble for the sake of the world, it would be better for Ah Ye to fulfill the good wishes of the ministers and order the Imperial Medical Bureau
Let’s start with the people of Bianjing, especially the Forbidden Army…”
"In accordance with the principle of bottom-up, so that everyone in the world knows that Aye's court now has a wise king and wise ministers, and everyone is in full swing. It can be said to be a grand occasion unprecedented in ancient and modern times!"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately rushed to pay homage: "The Duke's proposal, I think it is actually a plan for the country!"
The little calculation in my heart was spinning wildly at this moment.
In the eyes of these ministers, this is simply the best arrangement.
Let the lower-level citizens do experiments on their children first, so that even if there is any problem, they won't be implicated.
If it succeeds, you can naturally sit back and reap the benefits.
Zhao Zhen looked at his beloved son suspiciously, and then at the ministers in front of him. After weighing and hesitating again and again, he finally nodded: "Yes!"
But it is inevitable that there are thoughts in my heart, and I feel that some of my thoughts are not clear.
This is normal. He is a king. Although he has a good temper, he has his own character after all.
Now, these ministers made him unhappy, and he had no way to check and balance them, so naturally he felt unhappy.
When Lu Yijian and his ministers retreated happily, they disappeared between the palace palaces of Yanhe Hall.
The official finally changed his color and said to Zhao Xin somewhat unhappily: "Why does Erlang treat the minister so well?"
He said to Zhao Xin earnestly and thoughtfully: "Erlang needs to know that the prime ministers and assistants in power are all people who want to take an inch. If they get an inch now, I'm afraid Erlang will let them get more than an inch the next day..."
He was deeply touched by this matter.
From the moment he came to power, he has been pushed back step by step by Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Li Di, Zhang Shixun and others.
That is to say, his health is good and bad, and the country has to rely on these people.
Otherwise, he would have wanted to give these people a good look and let them know what it means to get angry and have the prime minister dismount.
When Zhao Xin listened, he laughed and whispered in his father's ear: "Ah, what's the population today?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned immediately.
Nowadays, the population of the Song Dynasty has experienced explosive growth after Zhenzong came to the throne. Today, the total population is close to 100 million.
In other words...
Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
However, he soon thought of a question and said to himself: "This is not good, after all, they are all important ministers of the country, the prime minister..."
"Hehe..." Zhao Xin rolled with laughter on his father's body: "Aye, the prime minister and the minister must naturally be treated favorably, and the scholar-bureaucrats and Confucian ministers must be treated kindly. This is the law of our ancestors!"
“Therefore, Aye Ke specially decreed that at that time, the heirs of the clans of the two systems and the ministers above the prefecture level should be vaccinated. Aye Te ordered the imperial medical bureau to send Hanlin medical officers to come and inoculate them in person, thus approving the country’s love for ministers and giving preferential treatment to Confucian ministers...
…”
"certainly……"
"The Imperial Medical Officer, Aye's close minister, and the Red Emperor's disciple, must be charged per person for each vaccination... For the time being, each person can be charged one hundred thousand per time..."
This is exactly the diamond VIP service launched by Zhao Xin in his previous life for the important ministers of the Song Dynasty!
Weren't you arrogant before?
Okay, now, you can only become stronger by charging money.
But Zhao Xin never expected that this policy would be widely praised as soon as it was launched.
No matter how poor the ministers are, they still have to take out this money from their pockets.
This puzzled Zhao Xin for a long time. It was not until he met an official who moved to the central government from another state that he finally figured out the root cause and reason.
On pride.
The emperor specially appointed Hanlin medical officers to provide door-to-door services. In the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats, this was fully worthy of their noble status and lofty status, and it also allowed them to distance themselves from other people - you vaccinate
, is an ordinary vaccination, my generation’s vaccination is a noble scholar-official’s vaccination.
Is it expensive for a distinguished scholar-official to vaccinate one person with a hundred guan at a time?
Totally inexpensive and reasonable!
What makes Zhao Xin laugh or cry the most is that after more than ten years of fermentation on this matter, wealthy businessmen and landlords in the private sector actually believed that their children should enjoy VIP services, so they spared no effort to bribe those who were qualified to enjoy VIP services.
A person buys a vaccination quota from his family as a Hanlin medical officer, and then mixes with his family’s descendants to enjoy the services of a Hanlin medical officer specially sent by the emperor himself...
Therefore, after the Zhao Guan family, who loved money as much as their lives, found out about this, they simply asked the three companies to openly sell vaccination coupons for Hanlin Medical Officers, each worth 100 guan, plus the vaccination fee, it would be 200 guan. In order to prevent the spread of vaccination coupons from depreciating in value,
There was no money to be made, so it was stipulated that only 10,000 copies could be sold per year.
I thought that no matter how many fools there were in the Song Dynasty, there were probably not even 10,000 fools who were willing to spend 200 yuan to pretend to be X.
But Zhao Xin was wrong again!
In the later years of Zhao Xin's previous life, this business was as big as Dudu.
Because the merchants turned the vaccination coupons sold by the third company into a business like ultimatum.
These guys bought it back and didn't use it. Instead, they hoarded it, speculated and resold it, and turned it into something similar to stocks and bonds.
How did Zhao Zhen know these things?
But his eyes still lit up, he smiled slightly, rubbed his palms, and kept nodding: "Erlang's plan is very clever!"
He didn't think that far ahead, and he couldn't have guessed those changes.
I simply thought that maybe I could use this to vent my anger and get the ministers to bow their heads in front of him and beg for mercy.
And he only asked for this.
This official has always wanted to live up to his reputation.
Since his rule, he has never sinned against anyone. It was under his wings that the literary world, economy, and society of the Song Dynasty could develop to the present grand situation.
Of course, there are costs.
That is, the country will inevitably fall into a quagmire of low efficiency, old-fashioned ways, and overstaffing.
