The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 218 Dialogue Between Father and Son
"Well, you can figure it out on your own, and I don't understand these things, so I don't like it when I say that my son is not as good as my son!"

Zhao Kuangyin was getting a little tasteful, as if he didn't know as much as his son every time, which made him a little embarrassed.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Daddy Ganqing was jealous:

"Haha, there is no way to do this. Who made me your son? Haven't you heard that the blue is better than the blue?"

After a little fart, Zhao Xu was in a good mood. The store said that the royal family had no family ties, but this problem did not exist for the father and son.

"Okay, you kid, don't offer treasures anywhere, I still have something to say, you sit down for me, and listen to me."

When it comes to business, Zhao Kuangyin is very serious, there is no way for him to be the emperor.He still clearly divides public and private affairs.

Zhao Xu also knew Zhao Kuangyin's character, so he immediately calmed down, knowing what Zhao Kuangyin was like.

It's okay to mess around at ordinary times, but if you're doing business, you think it's ruthless. In order to save yourself from being scolded, you'd better be honest.

Zhao Kuangyin also likes his son's appearance in a proper way, which he is quite satisfied with.

"What do you think of the disadvantages of transporting finances to the imperial court that I just mentioned?"

When Zhao Kuangyin talked about taking back local finances, he had some of his own opinions mixed in.

Zhao Xu also listened to it and felt that what Zhao Kuangyin said was right. Doing so would help the central government to centralize financial power. There is nothing to say about this.

But the initiative of the place is gone, just like what he worried about, if some natural or man-made disaster happens, it will really be troublesome.

I also have an idea in my mind, that is to open a bank, no, it is more appropriate to call it a bank at this time.

A bank is opened in each state capital, and the imperial court can also deposit money in it.Usually can be used for lending.

It is not very efficient to allocate it directly when it is used. At the same time, it prevents a large amount of wealth from being held in the hands of the local government, and there is no need to be afraid of the local power becoming bigger.

But now is not the time, even if the problem of the feudal town has not been resolved, it is really a bit early to consider these problems.

The most urgent task at present is to solve this feudal town, and then unify the whole country. This is the most important thing. Let's put other things aside.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Pu's idea is not bad. Being able to come up with such a strategy shows that Zhao Pu is a capable person.

Now that Zhao Xu thinks about it, what Zhao Pu said in history should be to collect his soldiers and make money. He really has two brushes.

"Father, the most urgent task now is to solve the problem of the feudal towns, and then unify the whole country. As for other things, we can slowly standardize them after the unification,"

"Although there are still many loopholes in this method of recovering local taxes, it is an excellent method at present, and it is also feasible. At worst, we will carry out other remedial measures after our unification is completed."

After Zhao Kuangyin listened to Zhao Xu's words, he didn't respond in any way, he just thought about it quietly, he was comparing gains and losses.

It took him a long time before he slowly opened his mouth: "It makes sense, I don't care about so much now, I can only put these trivial matters aside now, and deal with the most important things."

"By the way, Dad, didn't Zhao Pu say that he would set up a special organization to transport the taxes from those places back to the central government? Now I have thought about such an organization."

Said with confidence.

"Oh, let me hear what you said so soon." Zhao Kuangyin was also very interested. This is not a matter of interest or disinterest, it is a major national event.

"Since this agency is responsible for transporting taxes and fees, then we can set up an agency that has never been done before, and it will be called the Transshipment Envoy."

"Is there any particularity to this? Why did you choose such a name? Isn't there any particularity?"

Just like a person's name, it is not a random name when it is chosen, there must be some basis, or it implies the five elements, or it is a combination of yin and yang.

"Look, have the local taxes been collected in the local area, and this agency just transported these taxes to Bianjing, which means they are responsible for transshipment."

"It's like a second-hand dealer. Although it's not appropriate to say it, that's what it means. Besides, don't we have a guard department in front of the palace? So this organization is called the Transshipment Envoy."

This is not what these people think at all. Anyone who is familiar with history knows that this is one of the series of policies implemented by the Song Dynasty at that time.

"And the chief of the Transshipment Envoy Division is called the Transshipment Envoy. For the time being, it is designated as the third rank. Do you think this is okay?"

You said it was so detailed, Zhao Kuangyin also thinks it is feasible, anyway, it is an organization, you can call it a cat or a dog, as long as its responsibilities are stipulated.

"Okay, let's discuss it with the ministers in the hall tomorrow. If this is the case, there should be no problem. Besides, they have no reason to object. This has no conflict of etiquette with them."

When he heard that Zhao Kuangyin was going to discuss this matter in court tomorrow, Zhao Xu panicked. What is going on? It's too early to implement these things?
"Don't, I said why are you in such a hurry. The horoscope has not been written yet. Why are you so anxious? If you implement it now, you won't make your brothers fall apart."

Among Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, which one is not the title of Jiedushi, which one is not full of food.

Now if the organization of the Transit Envoy Division has been established, it will definitely be opposed, and there is absolutely no need for the slightest doubt about this.It's for their own benefit.

Zhao Kuangyin was too complacent just now, and now thinking about it, he also feels embarrassed, when did he become so unstable.

Zhao Kuangyin just laughed and passed away without making too much entanglement, and quickly changed the subject:

"Then what is the scope of responsibility of this transfer envoy? This must be clarified. We can't let him grow bigger in the local area, otherwise it will be another troublesome matter."

Zhao Kuangyin thought not to drive away the wolf, but attracted a vicious tiger. Don't solve the problem of the feudal town by himself, but make a transfer envoy bigger.

At that time, he didn't even have a place to cry, so he thought that as soon as this institution and official position were set up, their power must be restricted.

On this point, Zhao Kuangyin also suffered a big loss since the Five Dynasties, so he was so cautious.

"Enen, this is a more important point. I was really negligent just now. Dad, I have to admit that Jiang is still old and spicy. I admire you. My admiration for you is like the endless river, like Yellow River……"

"Stop, I'm afraid of you kid." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help getting goose bumps when he heard that this fiery son was doing this again.

He had heard this kid say these words before, and he was afraid that flattery would be a must for this sake, and Lao Zhao really couldn't bear it.

"Stop, don't flatter me anywhere, you can only say that figuring out how to restrict this transporter is much better than flattering me."

"Hmph, I really don't have a sense of humor." Zhao Xu muttered something in a low voice, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise he wouldn't be asked what a sense of humor is.

"It's not that simple. The transshipment envoy looks like his chief is the third grade, but it's just a false title, which doesn't have any practical meaning. To put it bluntly, he's just a groom or a coachman."

"They cannot be given the power to intervene in the local area. Even if they are facing a red county magistrate, they are not qualified to dictate. The only thing they can do is to be responsible for transporting back those who have paid a lot of money."

"If they dare to go beyond the slightest, they will be punished directly and severely, and they cannot encourage their atmosphere."

Zhao Xu said so much in one breath, but he couldn't give them other powers, only let them be grooms, but they were a little more advanced.

"I think one more thing can be added, that is, special personnel can be sent to supervise them, so that there is an extra layer of protection."

Zhao Kuangyin interjected at the right time, no matter how good the system is, no one will implement it, so Zhao Kuangyin thought of a supervision policy.

"In this way, the centralization is basically perfect?" Zhao Xu murmured.

Not enough was heard by Zhao Kuangyin: "What centralization?"

Alright, I'm going to spend a little more time talking:

"Centralization means that the power that is concentrated in the central area is taken back to the imperial court, so that centralization is achieved, that is, strong stems and weak branches."

Now I can only explain itching, and he can't understand the other things too much, so let's talk about something simple.

"It's easier said than done. What we're talking about is still a plan, and it hasn't been implemented yet. We don't know what to do. For example, how can we solve the problem of local officials getting bigger."

An official who stays in the place for a long time will take the opportunity to become bigger. This threat is only a little smaller than that of Jiedushi.

"When I met Mr. Miao Xun a few days ago, I asked him this question. He only said that civil servants are in power, and they are officials in different places."

"Haha, Mr. Miao finally said it out. He meant to let civil servants go to other places to become officials, and then these officials should be rotated to change their places of office, so that they can't take root in one place, and of course they can't form a climate. gone."

This is a matter of regime construction in terms of strengthening centralization. Miao Xun and the others communicated with each other at the beginning.

It's just that the time hasn't come yet, so Zhao Xu talked about some of the most important things at the moment.

But now that Zhao Kuangyin knows, let's just finish talking to him, so that he can be prepared.

All these preparations for strengthening the centralization of power had to be implemented, and Zhao Xu believed that all of them would be realized in the near future. At that time, would he want to unify the world?
