Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The chaos of the Eight Kings like the Western Jin Dynasty is not considered a competition, but a death.

Zhao Jin continued: "For example, in the case of grain adjustment that happened on Jinghu North Road last year, the food along the way was under the control of Changping Division, but food and people's livelihood are inseparable. People's livelihood issues are under the management of the Chief Secretary. Similarly, it is unreasonable that the Chief Secretary wants to allocate food from the promotion of the Changping Secretary, and the government orders are often blocked, which delays the resolution of people's livelihood issues."

Chapter 1293 Royal Involution (Second Change)

Looking at Zhao Jin's serious face, Zhao Ning asked, "Then how do you think these problems should be solved?"

"My boy, I heard from the teacher that the Prime Minister Zhang will make a regular pacifier. Every three to four routes, a pacifier will be set up. When there is a problem between the politicians of each road, the pacifier will come forward to coordinate and issue orders to each road. , Upload to the capital."

"Then what do you think?"

"The child thinks it is feasible, and it must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Why should it be implemented as soon as possible?"

"The territory of the country is expanding day by day, and local affairs are complicated and complicated. The control of local affairs should be strengthened immediately, and the permanent system of appeasement is the most effective means."

Appeasement envoys were first established in the Sui Dynasty, and became more frequent in the Tang Dynasty.

But appeasement is not a normal position.

Generally, when there is a temporary rebellion or famine in a place, the imperial court will select a person with outstanding ability from among the ministers of the central government, and send it to the designated place to temporarily manage all affairs, and convey the willpower of the imperial court to implement it.

Once the problem is resolved or eased, the pacifier must come back, surrender power, and return to his position.

For example, the year before last, Yu Yunwen served as a pacification envoy, inspecting private lending issues in various places.

When he comes back, he will return to his current position.

The so-called normalization means that the post of comfort envoy is specially set up, and it is no longer an imperial envoy to solve problems temporarily.

This has the same meaning as the normalized governors and governors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Ning asked: "According to the regular system of inspectors and emissaries, it is a good thing to strengthen the imperial court's control over the localities, but what about the disadvantages?"

"There are no disadvantages. According to the law, the envoy does not hold military power."

"Then where are your doubts?"

"My boy's doubt is why the imperial court didn't make a comfort envoy as soon as possible."

"Why do you think the court didn't make the daily routine earlier?"

"Children don't know."

"You go to study and study with this doubt first. I have several answers to this question here, but telling you, it will limit your way of thinking. For you, the process of thinking clearly about the problem yourself, It is a hundred times more valuable than getting an answer directly."

Although Zhao Jin didn't know the inner meaning of Zhao Ning's words, he still said obediently: "Thank you, Daddy, I will look for the answer."

Zhao Ning patiently said to Zhao Jin: "The world we live in is much more complicated than what we see every day. The answers are always superficial and people's summaries. They cannot help you truly understand the world. , if you want to understand, you have to experience it yourself and find it yourself, otherwise, it will always be someone else's summary."

"The child will always remember the teachings of his father."

Qian Jinshu on the side smiled and said, "The third brother is a well-educated child."

Zhao Jin always reveals a maturity that is different from his peers. When the children of the same age are still playing, he has restrained his innocent smile and started to think about the things of adults.

Zhao Ning looked at him and saw his thin figure sitting under the candlelight, looking very thin.

"Come, come and sit here with Daddy."

Zhao Jin walked over and sat next to Zhao Ning. His posture was upright and his eyes were soft, forming a completely different temperament from the bright and energetic eyes of the fourth prince Zhao Yu on the side.

Looking at Zhao Jin, who was usually silent and quiet, Zhao Ning stretched out his hand and rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a small official position as head of the household department, how about going to the household department to stay for a while? "

"Thank you dad."

"Okay, if you want, I'll talk to Grand Master later."

Seeing this scene, Concubine Shen De couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

"Father, when will Brother Chen return to the capital?" Zhao Yu asked suddenly.

"Happy, I have sent for him to be called back."

"Great, if he comes back, I'll live with him and listen to him tell the story of the Eastern Expedition to Japan, and also, the famous Ying Guan of Anbei Duhufu, when will my child see you?" Arrived?"

"He will go to the capital next month, and you will be able to see him then."

"He's coming to the capital!" Zhao Yu suddenly stood up, his eyes glistened with excitement.

"Yu'er, sit down." Zhu Lian said solemnly.

Zhao Yu then sat down again.

At this time, cheers came from the gazebo: "Great, it's finally finished. The second sister is great. The second sister accepts my worship. From now on, what the second sister wants me to do, please tell me at any time. I am willing to serve the second sister." A dog's work."

Rou Jia looked at Zhao Chun, who was only eight years old, in astonishment, and said with a chuckle, "Who did you learn this hard work from?"

"It's in the book!"

"Then you can't use it indiscriminately."

"Second Sister is the best, I will do my best for Second Sister!"

"Okay, I will remember this, don't regret it when you grow up!" Roujia smiled slyly.

After finishing speaking, Rou Jia strode towards Zhao Ning's banquet.

"Joujia, come, sit here."

"Daddy."

Zhao Ning asked, "Why are you so happy?"

"Brother Chun asked me to help him install the spinning machine. After I helped him install it, he was very excited and insisted on helping me." Rou Jia spread her hands and smiled helplessly.

At this time, Zhao Chun rushed over, fell on the lawn with one foot, and slid half a meter on the lawn.

The surrounding servants hurried over to help the little prince, but Qian Jinshu said, "Brother Chun, you have to stand up when you fall down."

Zhao Chun got up, his clothes were covered with grass, but he didn't care, and continued to run over happily, saying, "Daddy, my second sister and I installed that."

"What is that?" Zhao Ning asked knowingly.

"Hydraulic spinning machine, the small model given to me by Chen Shilang. I installed it. It is said that it is ten times faster than the traditional spinning machine, and it saves a lot of manpower, which can further reduce the price of clothes."

"You still know this?"

"I know, my sister told me." Zhao Chun said innocently.

The elder sister he was talking about was not Rou Jia, but his biological mother Qian Jinshu.

Sister is what the people of the Song Dynasty used to call their biological mother. If you travel to the Song Dynasty and see a beautiful girl on the street and want to strike up a conversation, don't go up and call her "Miss Sister".

Otherwise, in the eyes of others, they will think that you just recognized your mother casually on the street.

"Then do you know how much the price will drop?"

"Now the price of silk on Gyeonggi Road is [-] Wen per head. If this water conservancy spinning machine is implemented, the price of silk may drop to [-] Wen per head."

Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Chun in amazement. This kid has been very interested in physics and technology since he was a child, but now it seems that he not only likes science, but also inherited his mother's business acumen.

At this time, Wang Huaiji hurried over and said: "Officials, Wang Taiwei has something to ask for an interview."

"It's so late, let him come back tomorrow."

"He said he couldn't see the official family and couldn't sleep at night."

"Then let him come over."

Wang Zonglin hurried over.

Chapter 1294 The uncle reprimanded by his nephew (third)

"Prepare a seat for Wang Taiwei."

"Officials, I have something important to do!" Wang Zonglin saw that there were no outsiders here, so he immediately came over and handed over a document.

"It's really my good uncle. You asked me to handle government affairs at night!" Zhao Ning took it and opened it for a look. After reading it, he felt something clear in his heart.

"It's a matter of great importance to the country, and I have no other choice."

This is not a matter of national affairs, it is clearly related to your Wang Zonglin's hat.

He glanced at the anxious Wang Zonglin, stood up, and walked to the gazebo, Wang Zonglin quickly followed.

"You have to report the businessman's affairs to the East Mansion, and all the ministers will deal with it."

"I think this matter may be of great importance, so we need to let the officials know about it first." Wang Zonglian looked like I was doing it for your own good, and even his tone had a bit of sincerity.

"Do you think that by suppressing and forcibly controlling, you can be safe?"

"If the situation in Quanzhou is true, then those businessmen are too rampant." Wang Zonglin said angrily.

"Let me ask you, do you think you can be safe and sound by suppressing and forcibly controlling?" Zhao Ning emphasized again.

"At least it can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen in the future."

"I have been in Taifu Temple for more than ten years, and you give me such a bad idea about this kind of thing!"

Wang Zonglian's heart trembled, the officials called themselves me just now, but now they immediately changed to Zhen, and their tone changed.

"I'm stupid!"

"I ask you, you said to strictly control merchants, how to strictly control them? In addition to the registered trading companies, do you want officials from all over the country to interfere in those trading companies?"

"It's perfectly possible to do that."

"Grain storage departments, large postal services, large cement workshops, and large iron smelting workshops are directly controlled by local governments. Do you think the government's control is not enough?"

"This……"

"Go and check, just find a place to check, and see if the local officials are involved in the Grain Storage Department or the post office, and see what they have done!"

Zhao Ning's tone became more severe, and even his eyes changed.

Before the princes, he was a kind and patient father, but now he is the face of a cruel king.

Wang Zonglin immediately knew Zhao Guan's attitude, and immediately regretted that he was reckless, believed Qian Yuqing's nonsense, and wrote this report to ask for trouble.

"Your report is well written. You have thrown out all the responsibilities and problems. If you don't write it and don't take the initiative to bring it up, you will soon become a target of public criticism. Wait until you lose your official title. !"

Wang Zonglin immediately said: "It doesn't matter if I lose this official hat. It doesn't matter to me if I'm an official or not. I'm just worried that I won't be able to share the worries of the officials in the future."

"Commercial issues are related to national affairs, and business is inseparable from the development of the national economy." Zhao Ning's tone also softened.

It is useless to scold Wang Zonglin here, and Wang Zonglin is not a talent for governing the world. It is already difficult for him to control Taifu Temple and the bank as they are now.

Although the local business companies and banks are rotten like a sieve.

But the formation of many problems is a combination of many aspects, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

Otherwise, anyone can be a Zaizhi, and anyone can be a Mingjun.

"If you want to improve people's livelihood, you must continue to develop new technologies and improve production efficiency, but if you want technology to really benefit the people, you must use the new technologies for civilian use."

What Zhao Ning said is naturally unfamiliar to the courtiers of the Song Dynasty in the first year of Jingkang, but it is no stranger to the courtiers of the 14th year of Jingkang.

"If you want civilian use, you must commercialize it, understand?"

"Understood, it's the same as selling soap before. When the soap first came out, the production was small, and the nobles and officials were willing to buy it at a high price. When the soap production increased greatly, its price dropped, and when the private merchants began to produce it Soap, it entered the households of the common people, so that the common people can also enjoy the goods that the former officials and nobles could enjoy.”

Wang Zonglin's reaction was fairly quick. After all, he has been in Taifu Temple for more than ten years, and he has also been in charge of the bank for more than ten years.

"If there were no private merchants to participate in expanding soap production and sales, and the imperial court alone would produce soap, then by now, an ordinary family in Jiangning Prefecture might not be able to afford soap!"

"Yes, what the official said is true, and I am enlightened."

"Business itself is neither good nor bad. Lao Tzu said that the Dao is invisible, and the law of business is a kind of Tao. Can you say that there is good and evil?"

"No." Wang Zonglian said immediately. Although he became confused when it came to philosophy, he knew that he had to follow the official's meaning.

"The good or the bad lies in the people, not in the business itself. Merchants are after profits, but if the businessmen don't pursue profits, will they still produce soap? They don't produce soap. Where can ordinary people use soap?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ning looked at Wang Zonglian, who trembled for a moment, and immediately said: "So business is beneficial to the country and the people, but merchants may not be. I understand that what should be managed is merchants, not commerce."

"Then your report said that you want to reduce the bank's supply of private currency, and you also said that you want to reduce the expansion of local businesses. Are you going to close my Gewuyuan in Sijing? It's best to arrest all those businessmen." An interrogation, ransacking the house, so that the court will have money?"

"I……"

"A few Quanzhou merchants sold a few cannons, and they frightened you into such a bear. Even if every civilian merchant ship in the South China Sea has a hundred cannons on it, so what? The Japanese bought dozens of them. Cannon, it has not been defeated by my Celestial Master."

"You! Remember! Use your brains! One day the Song Dynasty will really die, not because of the outflow of artillery, nor because of the development of commerce, but because the officials of the court and the Song Dynasty have rotted."

"Since ancient times, all dynasties have died inside."

Wang Zonglin is like a child who has made a mistake, he no longer knows who is his uncle and who is his nephew.
