Establishing a price department, including an approval department, is Zhao Xi's ultimate goal in letting Gongfangcheng authorize and sell crafts and products.
And by raising it at this time, he was waiting for the form of negotiation between the parties. He needed this excuse or a reason.
Zhao Xi has never promoted anything without the background of the times. Including the industries of his childhood, Zhao Xi is based on the current era and is a little ahead of the times.
Only in this way will people think you are smart rather than a monster, and you will not be rejected by everyone.
In other words, Zhao Xi can be assimilated by this era.
There is a saying in later generations that it is in line with national conditions, and Zhao Xi is the most convinced. High-rise buildings cannot be built on the beach, and the type of foundation determines what type of building. This principle is also true for Zhao Xi and this era.
This is not the previous dynasty where nobles and aristocratic families co-headed the court, nor is this the later Manchu Qing Dynasty where the king had absolute authority.
This is the Zhao and Song Dynasties that were barely unified after fifty years of changing five dynasties. The ministers and workers did not have a high level of understanding of the emperor. The Taizu of some dynasties established a system of checks and balances between the kings and raised officials for hundreds of years, so he was not an emperor.
In an era where everything is said and done, there is no such soil and environment.
Therefore, in whatever Zhao Xi does, he tries to unite all forces that can be united, uses all available factors, and uses various excuses to avoid antagonism to the entire court.
Such a system does not make Zhao Xi difficult, but rather makes him feel comfortable. After all, in Zhao Xi's concept, rights should be restricted.
A certain event leads to measures and methods for specific events, and these methods and concepts come from the insights of Zhao Xi's later generations, and then guide the ministers and workers to analyze, thereby forming methods and measures that are in line with the actual conditions of this era... This is what Zhao Xi follows
in principle.
Just like now, because of price negotiations in Gongfang City, Zhao Xi proposed the idea that prices should be controlled by the imperial court, which is not divorced from reality.
It's just a matter of doing it bit by bit, which is a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"Ms. Wang, if a price supervision department is established, it can solve the problem of large merchants monopolizing goods and driving up prices. At the same time, the supervision department can be empowered to regulate and supervise the barter behavior. In this way, the purpose of the market exchange law to solve the problem can be achieved, and at the same time, it can avoid
The disadvantages of competing with the people for profit..."
"As for the authorized sales by Gongfang City, the imperial court can also try to classify various goods, and let the government take the lead in goods related to the national economy and people's livelihood, focusing on the large and letting go of the small, thus avoiding the possibility of shrinking commerce and trade due to excessive interference in the market."
In this era, management departments do not need to be divided into too many details. Zhao Xi is unifying many matters such as reform and development, market supervision, business and trade, etc. into one department.
However, he still guided but did not express his formed thoughts.
Only the system formulated by people of this era is in line with the reality of this era. What he has to do is to screen and guide.
"As for how such a department should be established and operated, including what functions it should have, and how official levels and titles should be determined, everyone still needs to brainstorm and come up with a feasible plan."
Zhao Xi was prepared for the current situation of the Qinzhengdian cabinet.
They are all elites, and they are just short of breaking through that layer of paper. Now that I have pointed it out, these husbands must have been touched in their hearts. It is understandable that there are huge waves in their hearts.
Therefore, Zhao Xi was not surprised by the bewilderment of the princes. Even Sima Guang, who hated trouble, also fell into deep thought about the official's suggestion.
The basis for the introduction of the Market Change Law was to deal with the situation where the trade of goods between the country and the dynasty was monopolized by big merchants. The purpose was to change the fact that the wealthy and powerful officials had the absolute initiative in the trade of goods.
In response to this situation, Wang Jiefu came up with the barter method, hoping to use government-run methods to solve the shortcomings of the barter method.
Once the Market Exchange Law is implemented, perhaps some of the drawbacks of barter between countries can indeed be changed. Similarly, the flaws of the Market Exchange Law are also obvious.
Competing for profits with the people cannot be ignored. The government-owned enterprises have an advantage in the entire barter, and the harm to some small merchants is even greater than the monopoly of large merchants.
At the same time, all the risks of government-run transactions are borne by the court or the government. In view of the quality and sense of responsibility of the officials in the government, most people are not optimistic about the prospects of the official business. Governance is different from doing business, not to mention that governance is not the same as doing business.
If not all are good players, how can we ensure the effectiveness of bartering by officials?
The official proposal is quite different.
First of all, the government does not intervene in the transaction, so it does not have to bear the risks in the transaction, and it avoids competing with the people for profits.
Secondly, the imperial court took back pricing power and supervised daily transactions, thus solving the problem of price gouging.
As for large merchants or small merchants, as long as they operate legally, there will be no conflict with the court. This will also avoid harming the interests of certain groups, and there will naturally be less opposition from the court.
In this way, the court stays out of the transaction and plays the role of adjudicator in the entire transaction, just like deciding cases...~This is the original function of the officialdom, and this is the real market law.
Zhao Xi had no intention of taking care of the meal. After putting forward his general idea, he dispersed the place... everyone wanted to go back and wait until they had thought about it before discussing it again.
At this time, intense price negotiations are going on in the Council Hall, and daily reports are coming out, from which everyone can see the price determination factors for various items, and provide some reference for formulating the functions of this new department in the future.
This matter cannot be rushed, nor is it too urgent. Zhao Xi has been planning it for nearly a year, and it has reached the last moment of trembling. There is no need to be so anxious.
But Wang Anshi was anxious. The officials once again changed his market transaction law, and the result of the changed market transaction law was the same as the original Qingmiao Law, leaving him speechless.
Even the mean Wang had to admit that the official idea really made up for all the loopholes in his Wang family's Market Change Law, and also better solved the problems pointed by the Market Change Law.
The official's idea is more reasonable. Let market ease return to market ease, and supervision return to supervision.
"Dad, since the government's idea is based on the Market Change Law, we still need to take the initiative. The three-level envoy system that dad set up to implement the Market Change Law is nothing more than an adjustment of functions. It needs to be explained to the court.
Already."
Wang Anshi looked at his excited son...
The authority of the department envisioned by the officials is as great as that of the Third Chief of Staff, or even greater than that of the Third Chief of Staff. How can it be placed under the Third Chief of Staff?
Originally, we were going to let Lu Jiawen take charge of the market transaction. Because of the incident in Gongfang City, Lu Jiawen also wanted to be the governor-general of government-run industries. Today, he recommended it to the government, but he was passed over.
This newly established department... Judging from Lu Jia's question, it seems that he has another idea.
Not only Lu Jiawen, but also Cai Que and Lu Huiqing seemed to have ideas...
Zhang was thrown into the martial arts hall by the officials, and he didn't have many people he could use.
"I will give you a copy of the report on the negotiations over the past few days. Please refer to it. Each of you has considered the specific functions, job title setting and specific operations of the Municipal Yi Law. You have a complete operation plan. In the new era,
The chief officer of the department can take advantage of it..."
Having said that, Wang Anshi is not confident enough to win this position.
