Chapter 789 Private interviews in micro service (3)
The moment he entered the private room of the teahouse, the leisurely moment Fu Bi mentioned was gone.
Zhao Xi's habit of acting vigorously and resolutely has become accustomed to him. The official Bailongyu was on the streets of Bianliang and summoned several people directly. It is impossible that he really came here for tea.
However, no one has any complaints. Sometimes dealing with government affairs together with the officials can give them a lot of inspiration. This kind of inspiration was felt by Fu Bi when the officials were still young. After so many years, it remains the same as before.
Officials can always grasp the key points from complicated matters and come up with effective ways to deal with them.
Compared with later generations, the complexity of government affairs in the Song Dynasty was so low.
"As for the state-owned temple, state-owned industries do not require approval... In fact, you have had a misunderstanding on this point from the beginning. Since the imperial court has formulated a licensing and approval system, there should be no distinction between state-owned and merchants
.”
"The approval and licensing system is not to make money for the court. My original intention is to supervise and trace back. It is helpful to grasp the development and changes of the entire country's industry, provide reference for the court to formulate policies, and help the court correct policy deviations, and
Make adjustments when appropriate.”
"State-owned industries, whether they are court or local, have a huge weight in the entire industry of the country. State-owned industries without permission and approval can easily cause deviations in the court's deployment of industrial adjustments. The most important thing is that it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes.
Leaving room for arrogance and arrogance will create a breeding ground for corruption and breed corruption!"
"From now on, the supervisory yamen must first find out the real entities running the imperial court and local state-owned temples, and strictly investigate the money and power transactions involved. At the same time, from now on, the city Yi Temple must review and approve the establishment of state-owned industries."
I don't know if these ministers are involved in these things, Zhao Xi hopes not. Not only these important ministers, Zhao Xi hopes that the entire court ministers have not made mistakes.
In fact, Zhao Xi also knew that this might not be possible.
"Officials, once the investigation turns out to be true, how should we deal with it?"
This matter may be big or small, but it is not a big deal. To put it bluntly, with the current tax system of the country, even state-owned temples pay taxes. Even imperial properties are taxed, so what about state-owned temples?
If such a matter is discovered, it is just to avoid Shiyi Temple's permission, and the money involved will not be too much. That's why Fan Chunren asked this question.
"This is an imperfect system formulated by the imperial court. It is not appropriate to simply slap the ban on local state capitals or merchants. Please apply for a new permit."
There is also a saying in later generations that if the law does not prohibit it, you can do it. Although Zhao Xi is not letting the past go, in fact this is indeed a mistake of the court, and he cannot blame others for taking advantage of it.
"I have something else to do today, and I just thought of it. I originally wanted to have a preliminary discussion with Shizheng, and then submit it to the cabinet for discussion after it is finalized. Since we are all here today, let's talk about it in this teahouse...
·”
The quality of tea in teahouses and tea shops is indeed very different. Zhao Xi took a sip of tea and seemed to be able to find the aroma of tea in his memory.
"I was entertained by the owner of the tea shop today, and I heard a lot of gossip. After hearing one thing, I felt that it was the responsibility of the imperial court."
"The establishment of Royal Bank outlets is limited by operating costs. If there are more outlets, personnel costs will increase, and there will be fewer outlets, which will indeed have an impact on those small businessmen."
"Large-scale merchants can entrust escort agencies to do it, but for small merchants who want to deposit a few hundred dollars or a few dollars a day into the bank on the same day, there will be problems."
"This is what I am thinking, whether the Royal Bank and the State-run Temple can form an official escort team."
"It will be put into trial operation in Bianliang first. There will be two trips in the morning and evening every day. We will send and receive coins in different areas. We will specialize in serving small merchants. We will charge appropriate fees and use the method of small profits but quick turnover to solve the problems of small merchants..."
The shop owner had indeed chatted with Zhao Xi about this matter. It was only a few hundred dollars a day, and only a few coins every three or five days.
In the early years, they were all hidden and buried at home... In fact, in the early years, those who had a few cash in cash were only wealthy families.
In recent years, since it is safe to make profits through savings, I will choose to save any spare money.
Just like small merchants like them, after saving more than a dozen dollars, they have to go to the Royal Bank once or twice...
Not only is it tiring, but the key point is that it is not safe to carry so much money privately.
Every neighborhood hopes that the Royal Bank can have a store at the door of their neighborhood.
Small merchants are not like big merchants. Most of their transactions are from different places. They only need money orders and all rely on secret deposits.
The money of small merchants is all cash. In terms of cash flow, small merchants are more abundant.
Zhao Xi is still more or less clear about the nature of a bank. For banks, the savings of small merchants are the basis for ensuring bank liquidity.
"Young gentlemen, think about it. If it is feasible, go back to Xue Shizheng and contact the Privy Council and the Ministry of War as one of the channels for the placement of retired soldiers."
"As for this department, it should not be limited to intra-city transshipment. It can carry out short-distance armed escorts, and even carry out cargo escorts where the tracks are not connected, including armed protection on the waterway."
"In this way, we can try to see if we can be self-sufficient. In addition, whether it is necessary to retain the military rank, or refer to the identity of the workshop city guards, state-owned craftsmen, etc., the cabinet will decide..."
Zhao Xi rarely gives such detailed statements on specific matters.
Over the years, Zhao Xi has been guiding. Therefore, it is understandable for him to give up after just a few clicks.
After the copy is formed, the official will eventually review and modify it.
"Guanjia, are you going back to the palace?"
Zhao Xi didn't want to go back and couldn't continue. With just this large group of old men accompanying him, how could he have a private visit on an incognito server?
"The official family, I actually want to take a look at the Song Dynasty besides the memorial... I think it is possible for the cabinet to send one or two people every day to accompany the official family?"
"Assemble a team of soldiers to protect us both openly and covertly, so that we can relax our minds..."
The latter sentence is what Fu Bi ultimately wants to express.
Officials are no longer something that ministers and workers can criticize casually. During the reign of the late emperor, if an official had such behavior, the first thing the ministers and workers would do when they met the emperor was to criticize them head-on and face-to-face...～
I don’t know since when, the official family has formed absolute power and absolute respect in the court!
"Just follow what the rich prime minister says!"
Zhao Xi also knew that after the cabinet learned about this matter today, it would be difficult for him to leave the palace like this again.
A long-winded mouth can annoy you to death.
"Zhongzheng, go back and buy some good Longjing tea from the teahouse. This is Mingqian tea with one shot and one flag..."
Although the method of frying tea is still different from that of later generations, after all, it has the taste of tea in later generations... As for the Yizhou tea that she started drinking, Zhao Xi just made it randomly, and the grassy smell is still there.
"Guan family, there is one in this tea palace. I always thought that Guan family only liked Yizhou tea and never touched it. Even Yizhou didn't dare to change Guan family's tea-frying method..."
Wang Zhongzheng said this, making Zhao Xi stunned.
The King of Chu has such a slim waist...~Oh, it was just because I didn't like making tea, so after seeing the new tea, I messed around with it, and it became a benchmark.
