To authorize negotiations is to hold a ceremony in the council hall. Real negotiations will take a long time, and the court cannot really leave the council hall to them.
What's more, those wealthy officials and local state governments who are determined to participate have already roped in brokers and formed a team to negotiate with Gongfang City. Therefore, the location of the negotiations has been moved to Gongfang City.
"In fact, when it comes to licensing processes, the focus is on added value, or R&D costs, or the value of knowledge. The cost of raw materials, transportation costs, etc. are not relevant after licensing, so they can be ignored.
"
"In a sense, Workshop City has already earned back its R&D costs, and taxes have been tax-free in recent years. There is no need to insist on the licensing price."
"The purpose of this approach is to spread the Workshop City model across the country as much as possible. Please consider small profits but quick turnover."
Zhao Xi didn't pay attention to the authorization negotiations at first, but he heard that the negotiations were progressing slowly, so he had to call the directors of Workshop City over to talk.
"Shizheng, if you take office as the Governor-General's Office of Government-owned Industries, what price do you think is appropriate? Think about it from other people's perspective and change your stance, so that you can find a price that both parties are satisfied with."
Although this is a hypothesis, Zhao Xi did intend for Xue Xiang to serve as the governor-general of government-owned industries.
Saying it like this is also to let him think about it in this capacity first, which can be regarded as preparation in advance.
Because Zhao Xi temporarily found some work for the Political Affairs Hall, the recommendation of the Government-run Industrial Governor's Office was temporarily shelved. Of course, there are also reasons why the authorization negotiations have not been progressing smoothly.
"In addition, Shi Zheng, there is something you need to consider. Once the negotiations are concluded, all prefectures and counties that have been authorized to open workshops will need to send official persons in charge."
"And these people may be confused, good and bad, and they may not be good at planning and financial management. Therefore, I plan to set up a special training class in the Jiangwu Hall and use the time of preparing to build the workshop to conduct short-term training for these officials who serve in government-run workshops.
, we still have to see results.”
"This is training, but it is also a selection process. It is related to the promotion of industrialization of the country and should not be taken lightly. This matter is yours to take the lead. You should prepare handouts and get a charter in advance."
"At the same time, it is possible that the court's yamen for supervising market transactions will be established, and those officials who will be engaged in market supervision will also need relevant training. You should worry about these two things."
"Gongfang City has been completely straightened out over the years. The charter you formulated for Gongfang City has been almost perfected after many years of operation. It is a bit unfair to put you in Gongfang City these years."
"Being the chief official of the Municipal Economic and Trade Supervision Office, and the governor-general of government-run industries, please think about it."
The dispatches of the imperial court have little to do with official rank, so Zhao Xi did not mention official rank.
During the conversation with everyone in Gongfang City, Zhao Xi directly pointed out Xue Xiang's whereabouts.
The negotiations in Gongfang City are led by Xue Xiang and assisted by Jia Xian. One is good at wealth and the other is good at mathematics, which makes it difficult for the other party to take advantage and is also the reason for the slow progress.
Rather than letting Gongfangcheng guess and make it difficult for Xue Xiang to do his job, it would be better to make things clear.
With Xue Xiang's talent, he should be able to find a suitable price to satisfy both parties in the negotiation.
The technology belongs to Su Song and the master craftsmen, and the profits belong to the entire Gongfang City. Considering that Xue Xiang has been working in Gongfang City for many years, it is unlikely that he will cheat Gongfang City.
At the same time, he has to consider the income from these industries after taking office as the Governor-General of Government-run Industries, which will be his political achievements, or the core content of his evaluation.
Therefore, he needs to find the right balance.
This is not what Zhao Xi focuses on. Just to remind you, I believe Gongfang City can do a good job. His thoughts are still on the Political Affairs Hall.
Regarding the supervision of the market, the political affairs hall has been discussing it for four or five days. Zhao Xi originally thought that the words were clear, and it did not take so long for the ministers to draft the matter, but he did not expect that it was delayed again.
Zhao Xi did not notify them, but sent a group of people from Workshop City away and went directly to the cabinet meeting hall. Before they even entered, they heard quarrels one after another...
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is determined to place the supervision of market transactions under the three envoys to ensure that there is only one department and avoid the chaos of overlapping official duties and buck-passing in actual operations."
"But Prime Minister Han, Prime Minister Wen and others believe that the market supervision function has nothing to do with the three ministers, or even the Ministry of Household Affairs. The responsibilities are complex and the weight is almost the same as that of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, so it should be set up independently."
"The political hall has been arguing about this, and no consensus has been reached yet..."
It was only from this argument that Fu Bi truly understood how Wang Jiefu came to be called the obnoxious husband.
The entire Political Affairs Hall, including Han Jiang and Han Zihua, who was originally close to him and supported his new law, remained neutral and no longer supported his proposal. He still argued endlessly with everyone.
Originally, Sima Guang did not participate in the conversation at first, but Han Qi and Wen Yanbo dealt with Wang Anshi. In the past two days, Sima Guang went into battle shirtless.
Just the two of them brought down the entire political hall, and no one else had a say at all.
"You guys have been obsessed with this for the past few days? It's really hard to live up to! You shouldn't even have a final conclusion on the function of market supervision, right?"
Zhao Xi was really annoyed. What nonsense are you talking about?
"Back to Your Majesty, the market supervision functions have been initially drawn up."
Without even formulating the functions, Fu Bi was really ashamed to meet officials. He didn't expect that when he returned to the court, just the establishment of a market supervision department would be so difficult.
"The supervision of the market is different from any existing yamen in the imperial court. It is independent of the six ministries and nine ministers. There is no need to worry about this."
“The three secretaries, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Sinong Temple, the Salt and Iron Department, etc., including the Municipal Shipping Department, all functions related to determining the price of goods will be handed over to the supervision of the Municipal Trade Bureau.”
"City supervision is implemented vertically from the imperial court to local governments, and officials are not allowed to hold local posts. A five-year transfer system is implemented, and people are transferred upon appointment."
Zhao Xi was annoyed, and probably the people in the political hall were tired of arguing. Zhao Xi just listened quietly to what he said, and the clerk quietly recorded it, and no one raised any objections.
"Your Majesty, I recommend Lu Jiawen to be appointed as the supervisor of the city affairs!"
This is the second time. Wang Anshi is really unyielding and spares no effort to support Lu Jiawen. The last time he recommended Lu Jiawen to be the Governor-General of Government-run Industry, this time he turned to market supervision.
"Lü Jiawen's official rank is low and his qualifications are still relatively young. Mr. Wang should train him for a few more years."
"Your Majesty, I guarantee that Lu Jiawen is capable of presiding over the supervision of market transactions. If his official rank is not high enough, he can be dispatched...~"
Lao Wang, find an excuse and save face, why are you so indecisive?
Zhao Xi is also convinced by Wang Anshi, he is really stubborn.
"Wang Dashen, all officials who are preparing to take up the post of Shiyi Supervision must go to the Jiangwu Hall for training and selection. Only those who pass the training at the Jiangwu Hall can take up their posts with the Shiyi Yamen."
"As you all know, Shiyi Yamen focuses on numerology and wealth. If Wang Dashen thinks that Lu Jiawen can pass the selection organized by the Jiangwu Hall, he can be one of the candidates..."
He, Lu Jia, stole the memorial written by his uncle Lu Gong to refute the new law, and Gong Lu was in charge of the martial arts hall. He liked to suffer that kind of torture, and Zhao Xi didn't mind giving Gong Lu a chance to play tricks.
