I’m The King Chapter 1095: :East and west (eighty-eight)

September, for the Han Kingdom, is indeed an eventful month. First, the establishment of the Supreme Court of the Han Kingdom and its subordinate courts made Jing Shou and others as busy as dogs. Established and successfully tried the case of the former prefect Zhao Yong's sentencing to the country, and the next level of courts also took the lead in Langya, Hejian, Tianhe, Liaoxi and other places, and it was on the right track.

If it is said that the Great Han Kingdom has created a new yamen that did not surprise the people on the mainland, then the incident that happened in Jicheng was even more eye-catching. After all, it is not uncommon for the Han Kingdom to like to be unconventional. From Gao Yuan's uprising to the present, he has done too many things that have left the world dumbfounded. It's really surprising.

Who is Cao Tianci? Leaving aside the huge influence of the Cao family in the Han Dynasty, Cao Tianci himself, in the Han Dynasty, if Cao Tianci is the second most trusted person by King Gao Yuan, Then no one would dare to say that he is the number one. But this time the punishment on Cao Tianci was unprecedentedly heavy. Cao Tianci was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for three months, and the Overwatch Council was temporarily handed over to the Third Princess Ning Xin. If this is just superficial In other words, the separation of the General Judicial Department from the Overwatch Council will literally deprive Cao Tianci of a large part of his power.

The Military Judiciary Division was separated from the Overwatch Council and established as a new military tribunal, which was directly under the management of the Ministry of War. This meant that the Overwatch Council lost its right to speak in the army. This was a heavy blow to the Overwatch Council.

Everyone is guessing the reason why Hanwang Gaoyuan was furious this time, but the person involved did not say a word, and those who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut. In addition to wild guesses, there are thousands of miles away from the truth.

But with the development of time, everyone finally saw some clues. After severely punishing Cao Tianci, the other two rewards made everyone finally understand.

Wu Kai and Cao Tiancheng are both marquises.

Marquis in the Han Kingdom is a kind of honorary title, and there is no practical benefit. Other countries will have corresponding fiefdoms for the marquis, but in the Han Kingdom, this is not the case. Hou is just an affirmation of your past achievements, and there is no corresponding fief for you. In addition to the honor of face and high status, the person who is named Hou Ye only receives an extra salary from the Ministry of Households. This is different from Qin Chu. The marquis are very different, in these two countries, the marquis, but there is a large piece of fief as a reward.

However, considering the Han Kingdom's policy of strictly prohibiting land annexation, this is also understandable.

Based on the above situation, the officials who are very sensitive to politics finally realized that the king is consciously suppressing the Fufeng family, because the two people who were sealed this time are both from Fufeng County.

Abolishing part of the real power, but rewarding two false titles, the meaning could not be more clear.

According to the usual practice, the two people who were conferred the title of Lord Marquis should rush to Jicheng to thank Gao Yuan, the King of Han, in person. A treatment that cannot be asked for.

The first person to rush back was Cao Tiancheng. Since the negotiation with Qin State, Cao Tiancheng, as the head of the commercial pillar of the Han Kingdom, went to Qin State to negotiate business matters with the other party, and the focus was on the court of Qin State The Yong-Qin Chamber of Commerce is in control of the negotiations. The Yong-Qin Chamber of Commerce is a hurdle that cannot be avoided by commerce and trade in the world. If the goods of the big Han want to enter the Qin State, they must first reach a consensus with the Yong-Qin Chamber of Commerce. The second is poaching corners. The Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is not monolithic, and Gao Yuan believes that as long as he is a businessman, he will chase profits. Those who do not cooperate with their own side, but in fact, Cao Tiancheng's action to Qin this time is also very fruitful, laying a solid foundation for the influx of Han products into Qin.

This is Gao Yuan's first step in destroying Qin's economy. Compared with Qin's current family production in small workshops, Dahan has now started factory-scale mass production, and a large amount of idle funds have entered into business The system has led to a series of technological innovations and the establishment of large-scale factories. The cost of various commodities has been further reduced, and the competition among factory owners in their own countries has become more brutal. This makes them urgently need a new market to sell their products. Then, Qin China has become the first choice.

First, Qin State has now signed a peace agreement with Han State, and the two sides have stopped the war. Second, compared to Han State, although Qin State’s territory is not as good as the current Han State, its population is far superior. Some people, There is consumption, and the price of the same product produced in Qin State is about twice as expensive as that produced in Han State. The factory owners of Han believe that as long as they can successfully enter the market of Qin State, they can easily earn a lot of money. Profit.

The second choice is naturally Chu, but now Chu and Han are still at war, the products are sold to Chu, and most of them are smuggled, the risk is extremely huge, one bad, it is blood There is no return. And the market of Chu State is bigger than that of Qin State, which makes the factory owners of the big Han covet.

What excites Gao Yuan is that the people of Qin, whether it is their new king Ying Ying, their first loser Fan Sui, or the think tank Li Ru, none of them have realized that the opening of the market will affect Qin. In their view, the devastating blow to China's economy is just a small way. When they realize it, it may be too late.

When Jicheng's punishment for Cao Tianci was announced, Cao Tiancheng had already returned to Yuyang from Qin State. I settled on the carriage, and finally returned to Jicheng as fast as possible.

"This group of **** who have no heart to swallow the elephant, actually use God's gift as the rafters." Sitting in the Lingxiao Pavilion, Cao Tiancheng burst into anger after listening to Gao Yuan's narration of this matter. "I can't finish talking to them." .When we were in Fufeng back then, we ate our last meal without a second meal, and even our buttocks were exposed outside. It would be light to say that we were not clothed. Now there are five people and six people alone, and we are still making such a fuss. Your Majesty, after returning home, see that I am not afraid of breaking the leg given by God."

"This matter is over!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Tianci will not stay at home, I have other things for him to do, as for those of us who came out of Fufeng, we hope to learn from this incident Lesson, don’t cause trouble again, they should understand that my friendship with them has not changed from the beginning to the end. It is good for people to have the desire to go up, this is not a problem, but the problem is that they must have the same For example, Zheng Xiaoyang saw that Meng Chong, Xu Yuan and the others had all become commanders in charge, and as an old Fufeng man, he had always been an army commander, and it was okay to have some resentment in his heart. I understand, but let him take charge of the army alone, am I at ease? Sitting in a high position with insufficient ability will not only harm others, but also harm yourself.”

"Your Majesty is right. My Cao family is highly regarded by the King. No matter what other people are like, my Cao family is only respected by the King." Cao Tiancheng said loudly: "My Majesty let us Whatever we do, we will do it."

"I know that." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This time, I named you Lord Marquis to reward you for your contributions to the Han Dynasty over the years. As the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Commerce, you are the busiest in our Han Dynasty.”

"Tian Cheng doesn't have any other skills, but he is somewhat talented in business." Cao Tiancheng laughed and said, "The busier I am, the happier I am. If I really have nothing to do, I will really be bored to death. "

"Tian Cheng, you should have passed fifty this year, right?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's already over fifty, fifty to five, I was poor back then, and I was in my early thirties when I married my wife, and now I'm in my twenties." Cao Tiancheng nodded.

"I'm not young anymore, and when I run around outside, outsiders say I don't care about you, so I thought about it and planned to make a big reorganization of Sihai Trading. From now on, you will be in Jicheng, only Just need to be in charge of the overall business." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Don't think too much, it's not because I'm worried that you will cut your power, but with the development of the situation, it's time for Four Seas Trading to reorganize."

"Tiancheng doesn't have any other ideas!" Cao Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is very worried. Now that the business of the world is too big and the scale is huge, sometimes even I feel a little scared. What's in it If there is a problem in any link, it will affect the entire Great Han Kingdom, but Tian Cheng has little knowledge, so he can't think of a good solution."

"I'm going to set up a new department, called the Ministry of Commerce, and I want you to be the minister to manage the country's industry and commerce. The Four Seas Commerce will also set up an industry association for each industry according to the differences of business experts. , each association chooses a chairman, and the management of each industry and industry will be handed over to them in the future, while the Ministry of Commerce only needs to be in charge of the overall plan and formulate a series of policies. The Four Seas Commerce is created by you It is most suitable for you to take charge of the Ministry of Commerce.”

"Establish the Ministry of Commerce?" Cao Tiancheng pondered for a while, "We used to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, after that?"

"I will reorganize the Ministry of Households into the Ministry of Finance, and you will no longer be under their jurisdiction. Of course, the tax from industry and commerce will naturally be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance will no longer manage the business operations of the Ministry of Commerce." Gao Yuandao. "Give you greater rights and create more wealth for the Han Kingdom."

"Tiancheng will definitely do his best to do this well." Cao Tiancheng nodded vigorously.

"By the way, when you come back this time, you not only have to worry about the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, but also assist Wang Wuyi to do another thing." Gao Yuan said: "This matter is no small matter. Once it fails, it will really make people lose We big men are facing a catastrophe.”

Cao Tiancheng was taken aback, "I don't know what happened?"

"Wang Wudi is planning to establish the central bank of the Han Kingdom. In the future, the central bank will issue a unified paper currency. By the way, it is a bank note. Wang Wudi intends to unify the style of banknotes. In the future, only the currency issued by the Central Bank of the Han Kingdom will have the right to circulate, and other banknotes will be gradually cancelled. I wanted to do this before because we didn't have enough gold and silver. However, with the success of Kou Shuguang's voyage, we finally have enough gold and silver reserves in our treasury, and this matter can finally be started. The credit of our Han Kingdom is no problem, With the national credit as the background, unify the currency, step by step cancel the function of copper coins and gold and silver in the market as currency. This is a huge thing. Wang Wuyi has organized a team of up to 100 people to prepare for this As for the matter, you can make a point in it, and with your experience in the four seas business these years, you can effectively help them avoid many detours."

"I understand!" Cao Tiancheng nodded, "This is indeed a great matter, and I will send some right-hand assistants who have experience or experience in this area to help with this matter, Your Majesty, Do you remember Mei Yipo?"

"Remember, Meihua's father is a good businessman." Gao Yuan smiled.

"This person told me some ideas in this area before, and it is also about the circulation of money. This person can reuse it."

"Oh, Mei Yipo still has this idea. That's right. Let him go to Beijing later. I'll talk to him!" Gao Yuanda was interested. (To be continued)
