After Zhao Xi made it clear, it was not difficult for Fu Bi to think clearly.
Such a huge idea, a big plan that would benefit the court, officials, gentry and even the people, made Fu Bi a little dumbfounded.
(Don’t doubt the idea that the people will benefit. The so-called country is rich and the people are strong. As a matter of ethics for scholar-bureaucrats, once the local and state capitals are rich and they know how to win the hearts and minds of the people, they will naturally benefit from the people.)
He couldn't help but think of the question he had when he was a young official: having such a smart emperor would be absolutely beneficial to the country, but it was hard to say whether it would be good or bad for the courtiers.
At this time, Fu Bi combined with the reports on this matter, and it is not difficult to conclude that the officials have always wanted to guide their ministers to participate in the official's plans, understand the official's intentions, and actively advance towards the official's goals.
If the courtiers put aside their personal interests and truly consider the overall situation of the country, and put aside their opposition to the officials... with the intelligence of the ruling officials in the political affairs hall, they will not have to worry about trying to figure out the officials' thinking.
It's a pity... there are always some things that block people's thinking.
It is impossible for one person to finish everything, which is why Zhao Xi always sets propositions for his ministers and workers. He is indeed guiding his ministers and workers to consider in the direction of his plan.
For example, from the beginning of the discussion, he summoned all the chief and deputy officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which in itself was a hint.
It's a pity that everyone has been dazzled by the benefits of Gongfangcheng's products and cannot put aside their personal interests and consider the problem from another perspective.
Wang Anshi got into the circle of market changes and laws. He was worried about the officials shelving the market changes and laws, and could not calmly consider the problem.
Sima Guang was always used to looking for excuses in old papers. He was a gentleman blinded by history.
Han Qi always puts himself in the position of being in charge, attaching too much importance to the function of the political hall to check and balance the king's power. He always takes apart Zhao Xi's meaning and crushes it into pieces. Even so, he is still uneasy. Therefore, he will not put himself in his shoes.
.
As for Wen Yanbo, his starting point has always been political and power considerations, and after all, he did not put his heart into trying to figure out Zhao Xi's thinking.
Of course, none of the officials who participated in the discussion could let go of the shackles of pursuing interests.
Fu Bi saw something from an outsider's perspective...
With Zhao Xi's candid guidance, it will be easy to come up with the next plan for the authorization of Gongfangcheng's product technology.
Following the official concept and the principle of sharing and equalization of benefits, led by Fu Bi, everyone in the council hall quickly came up with a plan for the craftsmanship of authorized products from Gongfangcheng.
Establish an organization independent of the imperial yamen, own 30% of all civilian products in the workshop city, take on management functions, and staff officials from the local government to the imperial court and each workshop in accordance with the imperial yamen official system.
All authorized product processes in Gongfangcheng are first disclosed and reported, and each state, county, and county will purchase them based on their own conditions and advantages to determine which product or products are produced where.
Then the court officials, local officials and local gentry will choose to intervene. Based on the capital contribution, they will obtain the corresponding shares and recommend people with official status to join the management.
All products authorized or sold by Workshop City do not limit the number of buyers to avoid creating a monopoly.
At the same time, Royal Bank launched asset-backed low-interest loan business.
Zhao Xi was very satisfied when he saw the general strategy drawn up by Zhengshitang.
Zhao Xi added an item at the end of the plan: Anyone who innovates products based on the craftsmanship of Gongfang City will not be subject to the authorization control of Gongfang City, and after the new product is produced and put into the market, it will be given a three-year tax exemption.
For Zhao Xi, this is the most important thing.
Next, Zhao Xi once again participated in the political discussion. This time, the participants in the political discussion were still mainly from the Zhengshitang and Gongfangcheng. Other participants included the Sansi Shiyamen, the Ministry of Revenue, the Royal Bank, and local prefectural and county officials.
Officers.
This is a negotiation about the authorized price of those products in Gongfangcheng.
Only at this time did the Council Hall play its due role. From the various government offices to representatives of all interested parties, the Council Hall was packed to the brim.
"Let me tell you a few rules: No one is allowed to interrupt when making a statement. Anyone who violates this will be expelled from the chamber and their right to participate in relevant discussions will be revoked. In serious cases, their right to participate in this matter will be revoked directly."
"Article 2: The Political Affairs Hall, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Third Secretary shall not participate in price negotiations. They will only serve as the adjudicator and ultimately determine the transaction price."
"Article 3: After a state, county and Gongfang City agree on the price of a certain process and product, this price will be the unified sales and authorization price. Other states, counties can choose to withdraw, and there must be no different prices for the same thing.
The phenomenon."
…
The rules were read out by Fu Bi, and they were drawn up by the Zhengshitang after communicating with the officials.
Most people don’t understand Article 3...
"If you obtain authorization at the same price, the final profit will be different. This is determined by various practical factors such as labor force, raw material procurement and transportation, sales and management model. At the same time, only with such competition can we promote workshops distributed in various places.
Trying our best to improve and improve management can promote the improvement of various processes."
This is the reason why Zhao Xi told the third rule of Zhengshitang.
He doesn't mind if the political hall explains this day to all participants, or he hopes that everyone can truly understand the purpose of this rule.
After all, they are all scholars, and it seems that it is not in line with their status to argue about property in person... Maybe they don't want to do it in front of officials.
Zhao Xi just showed his face to show that he paid attention to it. After Fu Bi read out the rules, Zhao Xi looked at this group of reserved scholar-bureaucrats... If he was really ashamed to care about wealth, he shouldn't bother to go to the government to set up properties.
There are people in the system, and there is no need to ask others to recommend or even self-recommend.
I'm too lazy to watch their performance...
The officials left, and the ministers in the political hall seemed to have no use, so they left after a while.
As for the helmsman of this government-run industrial system, the political hall still needs to initially select a candidate to prepare for official approval.
This is a hot position. Even if the negotiation result is that Gongfangcheng's price is too high, based on the reputation of Gongfangcheng's products, everyone knows that this position is the easiest to get results, because Gongfangcheng's products have no worries about sales.
Not to mention that most of them are products that have been circulating in the market for a long time and that people have been looking forward to for a long time. For example, the complete set of heating facilities in Qinzheng Hall has been blown away by the officials and staff who work in Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, I recommend Lu Jiawen to serve as the Governor-General's Office of Government-owned Industries..."
It is true that the titles and official ranks of the dynasty do not need to match, but Wang Anshi's recommendation of Lu Jiawen still made Zhao Xi a little confused...Wang Anshi should not be a reckless person.
Looking at Lu Gongbi's face... Fortunately, it's not that obvious.
"The Governor's Office of Government-owned Industries is not in a hurry. Today I saw all parties discussing the licensing price of Workshop City, but there is another thing I want to mention to you..."
"Since the prices for the authorized sales of Gongfang City products are set by all parties under the supervision of the imperial court, why does Wang Xianggong's Yifa mentioned that the barter of all things in the country and the dynasty is monopolized and cannot be placed under the supervision of the imperial court?"
"Your Majesty, please consider this proposal. Can the imperial court set up a department dedicated to the price of all things?"
