Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 333: Business and politics
Chapter 333 Business and politics
Although the movable type workshop and the rental of chariots and horses have given these wealthy businessmen great surprises, this huge debt still makes them feel a little bit stressed.
But they even regretted it a little. If they had known this before, they might as well donate money instead of land. Isn't this unnecessary?
But think about it again, the copper money in the family is not taxed, but the land is taxed!
But the interest of 4,000 per year is not a small amount for each of them, and even most donors cannot afford it.
Tangle!
Although the surprise is not small, the burden is also heavy!
But then again, is a loan of 100,000 yuan a lot?
Is the interest of 4,000 strings a lot?
This is a businessman who has never seen the world.
It's a coincidence that when the Song Dynasty Charity Fund borrowed money from the Ma family, the Department of Regulations of the Second Government was also borrowing money from the court.
Wang Anshi's method of equal transportation has two meanings. First, it saves money for the country, seeks near distance, and transports tribute reasonably. Of course, it can save a lot of money. Second, making money for the country is the so-called buying cheap and selling expensive, but this requires capital!
Otherwise, no matter how cheap the goods are, you can’t afford them, and you can’t even afford them, so what’s the deal?
The core of Wang Anshi's reform is financial management, but how to manage financial management without giving capital.
Is it an empty glove white wolf?
What's the difference between that and robbery.
Wang Anshi really can't do such a thing.
This is the difference between him and those treacherous officials. Many treacherous officials use the reform as a cover. The so-called means are just doing business without money, robbing the people's money and businessmen's money to enrich the treasury.
No matter how treacherous and despicable those wealthy businessmen are, the government cannot rob them, because as long as the government takes the lead in robbing, the situation will only get worse and the country will be over.
However, this Wang Anshi is also a ruthless person, or in other words, a highly skilled person is bold.
If you open your mouth, you will have to borrow 10 million guan from the imperial court.
It can only be said that there are strong players among the strong, and there are still high mountains!
But it also attracted the opposition of many courtiers, including most of the political advisers in the political hall.
The finances are in deficit. Shouldn't saving be the first priority? If an additional 10 million yuan is allocated to the shipping department, then don't do anything next year, and just take annual leave.
However, Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu really never thought about letting the treasury allocate money.
Because they all know that this is impossible.
There are rules and regulations for the money in the treasury, but it doesn't mean that your emperor can move it if he wants.
If the disciples of Zhongshu do not approve, the emperor actually has nothing to do.
But the emperor is not stupid, the imperial power is also closely related to money, if the emperor does not have money in his hands, the dragon chair may not be able to sit firmly!
The emperors of all dynasties have private money.
That is, the built-in library.
Zhao Xu decided to allocate 5 million guan from the inner storage for 3 million stones of rice, and also cut 2 million guan from the money and sundries offered every year, and lent it to the shipping department.
The ministers still strongly opposed it. The inner treasury said that it was the emperor's private money, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, the money was not all the emperor's personal money, and it was also of a public nature. Simply put, it was an emergency.
It is mainly military pay and disaster relief.
If there is a war and the national treasury has no money, the inner treasury has to allocate money. If there is a famine and the treasury has no money, the inner treasury has to allocate money.
However, the internal library is mainly based on the will of the emperor. The ministers can only persuade the emperor, but cannot use administrative orders to stop the emperor.
There was another quarrel in the Chui Gong Hall this morning.
But Zhao Xu still firmly supports Wang Anshi.
"Ah!"
After leaving the imperial city, Wen Yanbo sighed: "It seems that the officials are determined to support Wang Jiefu."
Sima Guang said: "It's expected."
You don't need to think about it, you know, this must have been discussed by them long ago.
"But I didn't expect that Wang Jiefu would be so ruthless that he wanted to borrow ten million yuan."
Wen Yanbo said: "This is borrowing, not appropriating. Borrowing has to be repaid, and repayment must include interest. Needless to say, I know that Wang Jiefu must guarantee to the officials that he will definitely be able to make money.
Thousands of dollars have been invested in the market, and the proprietors behind it are officials. This is a business that cannot lose money. It won't take long for them to rob the merchants of their profits. "
Sima Guang asked: "Junshi would venture to ask, is Mr. Wen opposed to allocating 10 million guan to the shipping department, or is he opposed to the government's business."
Wen Yanbo said: "I am against it."
Sima Guang asked again: "Then Wen Gong thinks which is more important."
Wen Yanbo pondered for a while, and said: "Naturally, the former is more important than the latter. If it's just a businessman who puts out 10 million pennies for business, it's not so terrible. If it raises prices, the government can still control it. If the ministers of the DPRK and China do business in private, at least the officials can manage it, and you and I can supervise it, but if the officials take 10 million yuan to do business, who can control it?"
Sima Guang replied: "The judiciary can control it. If Wang Jiefu takes the money and buys it normally, that's all. Regarding buying and selling, there are clear regulations, and they are not tolerated."
Wen Yanbo asked in a low voice: "Can the judiciary control the official family?"
Sima Guang was silent for a while, and then slowly replied: "The government only borrowed money to reduce the loss of the national treasury. If there is any illegal behavior, it is not the government's wish, and it must be someone else."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard, and said again: "Are you sure you can control it?"
Sima raised his bald head.
Wen Yanbo looked up, but seeing that there were only four or five laborers repairing the road ahead, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What is there to see?"
Sima Guang asked with a smile: "Didn't Duke Wen find out that the road conditions in Bianliang City have been much better in recent days than before?"
Wen Yanbo said: "I have discovered this a long time ago. The dust and feces are much less, which also makes the complaints from the officials of the DPRK and China about the license plate fee much quieter."
"More than that."
Sima Guang chuckled, "Mr. Wen please."
Sima Guang led Wen Yanbo to the intersection of Bianhe Street and Zhouqiao.
Wen Yanbo was surprised and said: "The flow of people here seems to have decreased a lot."
"It's not that there are fewer, but that everyone abides by the rules, and at a fixed time, there are special patrols here to command, so there is little congestion. Can Mr. Wen see the pavilion?"
"It seems that the police station made a police booth, and each police booth has two patrol officers standing guard."
"Take a closer look."
Sima Guangdao.
Wen Yanbo glanced at it for a while, but did not see the mystery, and looked at Sima Guang suspiciously.
Sima Guang smiled and said, "Hasn't Mr. Wen ever had a drink at the Shangqiao shop?"
Wen Yanbo suddenly realized, "I know what you are talking about. The place where the police box is located belongs to Qiaodian."
Sima Guang nodded, and asked again: "Does Wen Gong know who is behind this bridge shop?"
"It seems to belong to the Gao family."
"Exactly."
Sima Guang smiled and said: "But now this circle is all demolished. It is said that they wanted to pay the street tax at that time, but the police station did not agree. Why? Because this is not only the bridge entrance, but also the road leading to the market. The main intersection of the city is very prone to congestion. Also, there were many hawkers on the bridge doing business, but now there is one person?"
Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "The police station did a good job with regard to the street invasion."
Sima Guangdao: "But before that, many ministers wanted to deal with these street intrusions, but no one succeeded. It can be seen that many things are not as difficult as we imagined!"
Wen Yanbo said: "However, Zhang San must have contributed to the success of this matter!"
Sima Guang said: "That's why I fought for Zhang San."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Are you sure?"
Sima Guang nodded.
Wen Yanbo asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
Sima Guangdao: "Before Zhang San promised me to go to Guozijian to teach litigation, but a lot of things happened in the middle, and this was delayed. I plan to take advantage of the Guozijian teaching to lead him step by step. My judicial reform."
Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "You really worked so hard for that kid!"
Sima Guang suddenly turned his head to look at one place, and said with a smile: "This son's talent is something Wen Gong and I don't have."
Wen Yanbo tilted his head, followed Sima Guang's gaze, and saw three or five teenagers fighting for a small ball in a corner. They were playing football, not Cuju.
The reason why cuju is more popular in the palace than in the folk is because the threshold is relatively high, and football is relatively low.
Football quickly became popular among the people.
Teaching?
At this time, Zhang Fei really didn't have the time to spare, he was about to be **** off by Ma Shuai Wang Chao's IQ, and he was rushing to guard Ma headquarters with Fan Zheng at this time.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a burst of shouting.
"Here! Here! Pass it over!"
"Who are you going to pass it on to?"
"Sorry, kicked a little harder!"
Looking up, I saw that the original playground had been converted into a simple football field, and more than 20 soldiers of the Imperial Army were running on the field.
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Sanlang, your football charm is not small!"
Is it a lot of charm, or is it too publicized? Zhang Fei smiled wryly: "But football can't protect the country!"
Fan Zheng smiled awkwardly, and suddenly said: "Huh? Isn't that Ya Nei and Xiao Ma?"
Zhang Fei took a closer look, "It's really these two guys."
So he immediately shouted: "Yanei, pony!"
"Third Brother?"
The two ran over immediately.
"Zhang San, Da Lang, why are you here?"
Cao Dongdong asked Zhang Fei while wiping his sweat.
Fan Zheng replied: "Oh, let's talk to Ma Shuai about something."
Zhang Fei asked: "Why are you two here?"
Ma Xiaoyi immediately complained: "Third brother, you don't know, those policemen are very busy on weekdays, so they don't have time. Huh, huh."
Speaking normally, Cao Dongdong suddenly covered their mouths with one hand, and complained to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, you are all to blame."
Zhang Fei wondered: "Blame me?"
"Yes!"
Cao Dongdong said with a serious face: "It's all your fault for holding such a football league and getting such a high prize money. Everyone wants to compete for this prize money, so they invited me and Xiao Ma to teach them. We and many generals from Sanya The friendship between officials is good, but hospitality is hard to refuse."
Ma Xiaoyi also reacted and nodded.
"Really?" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "But you two, as the ace players of the police station, have cultivated the strength of your opponent. Isn't that justified?"
Ace player?
Cao Dongdong couldn't help but his eyes flashed sharply. This title is not bad, I like it.
Ma Xiaoyi took Cao Dongdong's hand away, and said depressedly: "We also want to teach, but the police station is very busy now, and everyone doesn't have much time to play football."
"Pony?"
Cao Dongdong wanted to cover it, but it was too late.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "You two don't think you want to change careers, do you?"
Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "That's not true. I prefer to be a policeman. I can help the strong and the weak. I don't have to worry about being beaten by my father. Today I came here to play football with my brother during the holiday."
Since he became a policeman, he seems to have found his purpose in life. He usually likes to complain about injustice, but in the eyes of many people, he is meddling in his own business and asking for trouble. As a policeman, he can do it It's justifiable to fight against injustice, but you have to abide by a little bit of rules.
But Cao Dongdong was troubled.
He really stepped in by accident, but he never thought about being a policeman for the rest of his life, and now his focus is on football again.
Zhang Fei saw it, but he didn't say anything. His identity is not only economic freedom, but he has achieved employment freedom. Let's talk about something handsome, and have dinner together later?"
Cao Dongdong hurriedly said: "No, I have to explain this football formation to them later."
Can the value of life be realized? Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay! Let's move on to another day."
Just arrived outside the hall, but seeing Wang Chao led two generals, he came out to welcome him. The treatment is quite good.
"My nephew is here!"
"Nephew?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help being taken aback.
When did our relationship get so close?
Wang Chao immediately said: "Your father-in-law and I are considered acquaintances, can't I call you a good nephew?"
"Okay! Of course! The younger generation is flattered."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Entering the hall, Zhang Fei handed a list to Wang Chao, "Ma Shuai, is this the list you sent someone to?"
Wang Chao took a look, "That's right! Is there any problem?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't Ma Shuai think there is a problem?"
Wang Chao shook his head.
Zhang Fei said: "A total of thirty-six teams of body guards participated in the competition. Is this no problem?"
When he saw this list, he laughed angrily. The good football league turned Wang Chao into an internal friendly match.
What's terrible is that this is just a guard horse, and there are still guards' steps, the front office of the palace, so counting, there are more than one hundred teams in Sanya alone, so others still can't play!
The key point is that Zhang Fei can't organize so many games!
Wang Chao snorted and said, "I have more than 100,000 guards and horses, and the police station only has a few people. Compared with the thirty-six teams we have formed, it is not a lot, and we praise you so much, you Still not satisfied?"
If it is calculated in proportion, this is really not much. Who dares to compare the number with San Ya, it is not crazy.
I am satisfied with your sister, are you flattering me? You are obviously flattering! Zhang Fei said with a mixed smile: "Of course, I am very grateful to Marshal Ma for coming to support my field, but if thirty-six teams of Guard Ma are allowed to participate, then my football league may be gone."
Wang Chao wondered, "Why?"
Zhang Fei said: "Have you heard about Marshal Ma, there are many rumors circulating in the city recently, saying that I want to replace cuju with football?"
Wang Chao nodded and said, "I've heard about this, but what does it have to do with this matter?"
Zhang Fei said: "And this includes many ministers of the DPRK and China. They are looking for troubles for me. If thirty-six teams of guards and horses are allowed to participate, they will definitely make use of the problem and say that my football is disrupting. The morale of the army, so that the soldiers of the imperial army are playful and discouraged. It is enough to change the bodyguard horse into a bodyguard. Ma Shuai, the imperial army has the duty of the imperial army, not just playing football. If you only want to form a team and earn some money to subsidize military expenses, it will be fine. It is possible, but if so many teams are formed, it must be a mouthful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a general said: "Ma Shuai, I think Zhang San's words are justified. If this leads to the impeachment of civil officials, it will only cause trouble!"
These generals are also very afraid of this, and Zhang Fei is by no means alarmist.
Wang Chao pondered for a moment, then asked Zhang Fei: "What is your suggestion?"
Zhang Fei said: "At most, one team will be formed from the front of the palace, the guard horse, and the guard step, and there can be no more."
Wang Chao is a little hesitant about this. There are many numbers among the bodyguards, and they are not so harmonious with each other. This bowl of water should be balanced!
Zhang Fei explained again: "Shuai Ma, everyone here admires the strong. The thirty-six underdogs are far less popular than a strong team. The more popular the team, the more money they can make. In other words, one team is better than thirty-six teams.
From the perspective of the competition between the three yamen, if Dianqiansi and Shiweibu put all the powerful players in one team, then Ma Shuai, your thirty-six teams, will only be trampled by them underfoot. "
Wang Chao was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable, okay! Then it's what you say."
Earning a little less money is only secondary. If you are stepped on by the front office and the guards, that is absolutely unacceptable.
After talking about this matter, Zhang Fei and Fan Zheng left.
"Sanlang, your words are really impeccable. To tell you the truth, if it were me, I...I might not even know what to do."
Fan Zheng said with admiration on his face.
When he got this list before, this end was the big one, because the rules are not limited, and the opponent is the Sanya. Although the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military, the commander of the Sanya is not something ordinary people can offend up.
He hurried to find Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll replace you next time."
"Huh?"
Fan Zheng hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I can't."
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Zheng, withdrew his smile, and said sternly: "Da Lang, your Baifan Building is only this big at present, and the business is relatively simple, and the experience you can get is limited. , this charitable foundation is more able to train people. For you, this is actually a very rare opportunity. After all, the forces behind our charitable foundation are not weak. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have it again. "
Fan Zheng listened, pondered for a while, then suddenly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Sanlang for your advice, Zheng will definitely do his best."
His ambition is actually not small. He has always wanted to build the Alumni Building into a complex, but he doesn't have a specific plan for how to implement it. At present, if there is an opportunity, he will get involved.
For example, the charitable foundation, he asked to be placed in the Alumni Building.
However, charitable foundations are a hodgepodge of everything, involving a lot of business. To manage a foundation, one must be proficient in the art of maneuvering. This is indeed a very good opportunity for experience.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Mr. Chen and the others will definitely let their son or grandson join the charity foundation as soon as possible. You will lead this team. If there is any problem, I will come to you."
"Yes."
Fan Zheng nodded.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I believe in your ability, and our charitable foundation is a match made in heaven."
Fan Zheng's face turned red, "Sanlang praised him so much, I'm ashamed of myself."
But after speaking, he was a little puzzled again, "I don't know what Saburo is responsible for?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I'm in charge of spending money, oh no, I'm in charge of donating money."
"Huh?"
Fan Zheng was taken aback.
Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Don't underestimate this donation. This is the most difficult task for a charity foundation. The court can tolerate the establishment of a charity foundation because of the word charity. No, that will cause big problems."
Fan Zheng thought about it, it really is so, the court doesn't care how much money you earn, they only care about how much money you donate.
In fact, it is impossible for Zhang Fei to focus on charitable foundations. After all, this is not a capital era, but a feudal era, and is facing a political storm, so his focus is still on the court.
The key point is that he is not from a major. He can arrange some plans with the knowledge beyond the times, but if he is asked to carry out every task in detail, he may not be as good as Fan Zheng.
It really takes experience.
This year's Chinese New Year is busier than usual. I have to go to the elders' house and meet up with friends, but I will try my best to keep updating. Please forgive me,
