Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 188 The Last Dream in Tokyo 9
"Zhongliqing's family, Wang Qing's family. This." Zhao Ji realized that he had no words. He had just dealt with Silence. It seemed unreasonable for you not to deal with Wang Xiu. You have to find a reason for everything and cover up your skin. He really has no reason up.

"Wang Xiu, as an official, can't escape the blame, and it's hard to convince the public if he doesn't punish him." Zhong Liqiu's attitude was firm, and he really wanted to take Wang Xiu's knife.

Wang Xiu also took a deep breath, something was wrong, Zhong Liqiu's attitude was too weird, it was obvious that he wanted to take him down!
Cai You's eyes lit up again, and he said with a smile, "Zhongli Zhige, isn't it too heavy?"

"The law cannot be broken." Zhong Liqiu said indifferently, completely ignoring Cai You's hypocrisy.

Cai You's eyelids twitched. He felt that he was ruthless enough. Compared with Zhong Liqiu, there was still a gap. He didn't even think about it, and he couldn't help but have three points for Zhong Liqiu. Be afraid, don't provoke this person if you can. Anyway, there is no core conflict of interest.

Although Zhao Ji had a prejudice against Wang Xiu, he still valued Wang Xiu's talent. He was really worried that Wang Xiu would be transferred away. Wait until there is a vacancy in the military state."

Wang Xiu's face was very calm, he bowed slightly, and resolutely said: "Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of negligence, and I am willing to resign."

Cai You looked at Wang Xiu contentedly, Zhong Liqiu's insistence, although Zhao Ji was indecisive, but Wang Xiu's resignation was a foregone conclusion, how could he not be overjoyed? Forget about the blue-eyed thief!

"The Qing family's words are serious." Seeing that Wang Xiu had pleaded guilty, Zhao Ji couldn't say anything more, thinking about how to fool the past, handing over the highly professional yamen to Cai You, which still can't make him completely at ease.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cai is in charge of the office, and Zhongli Zhige is in the bank for the maritime case. I feel relieved to accept the crime, but I have to say something." Wang Xiu straightened her back and glanced at the proud Cai You, secretly contemptuous This guy has no city mansion, a little hypocrisy is beyond words, he is really a little flower raised by Cai Jing in the greenhouse, he said loudly: "I am guilty of being silent, I am guilty of being silent, and all house owners are at fault without exception. I suggest that they should be punished together. To serve as an example to others."

Zhao Ji was stunned, but Cai You became impatient, this guy is fighting back in a desperate way, I'm not good, everyone don't think about it, it's over if they are tied together.What is this called?If he was really punished, where would his face be, who would dare to hang out with him!

"Wang Zhige, this is too outrageous. There is no reason why all the principals of the yamen are responsible for the crime." Cai You retorted disdainfully, but in fact he was very flustered.

But Zhong Liqiu said slowly: "Your Majesty, what Wang Zhige said is also reasonable. After this time, the bureaucrats in the office must be restrained a lot."

Cai You felt very bad. Wang Xiu and Zhong Liqiu sang together, which always made him feel uneasy and flustered.

Zhao Ji was in a bit of a dilemma. If he really dealt with the principals, not to mention the collapse of the yamen, it would cause a sensation even in the outer court. He didn't want to cause trouble.

Wang Xiu smiled faintly: "Every principal will reprimand you."

Zhong Liqiu was justifiable and merciless, before Wang Xiu finished speaking, he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are dereliction of duty in every office in the office, and we must not tolerate it. I suggest that you take a three-year merit test."

This trick is so poisonous!Let's put silence first to punish crimes. It's one thing for your emperor to show mercy, but you can't always show mercy outside the law if others are guilty, right?Compared with dismissing officials or sending them to other places, the three-year merit test is a little easier, but it also ruins the future of some people. You must know how many three-year officials can have!The first three years have been done for nothing, and the next three years will start from scratch, which is equivalent to six years behind my colleagues.

If there is no special encounter, you are basically thrown away.

If the house owners, judges, and ministers were not Cai You's people, or if they were not the fools recommended by other ministers, Zhong Liqiu would certainly not be relentless.

He is intertwined, grabbing people at every step, leading Zhao Ji and Cai You by the nose, he is just an introduction that connects up and down, not only hit Cai You, but also fulfilled Zhong Liqiu's goal of letting him go outside, Wang Xiu took a deep breath Cool, I finally learned a trick, the master's methods are really vicious, even he was almost stunned, I really didn't see it before, Zhong Liqiu, who looks like an idler, directly kills people.

Cai Youke was dumbfounded, and when he realized it, he became anxious again, what is this called, if Zhong Liqiu got his way, it would be a mess.But in his eyes, Zhong Liqiu seemed to be a different person when he came back. He was no longer careless about fame and fortune, calm and unrestrained. , this guy is not a son of man.

He couldn't help but think of what his old man said back then, that he spoke highly of Zhong Liqiu, and warned him not to stand on the opposite side of this guy, it really made sense.

"Your Majesty, Zhongli Zhige suggested that the punishment is too heavy. How can the owners of the yamen's grass-built buildings have any experience." Cai You suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wasn't this what Wang Xiuwei said silently?How did I use it myself, I slapped myself in the mouth!

Wang Xiu glanced at Cai You and smiled ironically.

Zhong Liqiu said indifferently: "Although Mr. Cai is responsible for negligence as a confiscator, it is understandable that Mr. Cai did not intervene in the preparation of the yamen and put all his attention on the affairs of Shenxiao Palace."

Cai You was tongue-tied, this move was too ruthless, even he circled in and let it go lightly, clearly warning him not to be troublesome.

Zhao Ji looked at the three of them helplessly, smiled wryly for no reason, and said: "Okay, this matter has to be discussed by the two governments."

"It's a trivial matter that needs to be discussed between the two governments." Zhong Liqiu was determined to get things done quickly, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty has always acted vigorously and decisively. If the Prime Minister's Office is to operate efficiently, it must not be accommodated."

Cai You almost went crazy, Wang Xiu was also very surprised, Zhong Liqiu's behavior was too abnormal, what on earth is he going to do?
"Forget it, let Nan Cao handle this matter." Zhao Ji agreed after a little consideration.

Cai You had a toothache for a while, it was really well done!He worked hard, and finally found a reason to cut off Wang Xiu's arm, but Zhong Liqiu intercepted him halfway, not only pushing away Wang Xiu, but also suppressing him, taking advantage of him, the grievance in his heart!
Wang Xiu had a calm face. He understood Zhong Liqiu's character. Zhong Liqiu had no reason to harm him. Their political philosophy was the same. If something goes wrong, you must be a demon. Zhong Liqiu must have plans for the next step. He decided to wait and see.

"Your Majesty, in order to improve the efficiency of the office and the bank, I have another suggestion." Zhong Liqiu said plainly.

Hearing that it can improve efficiency, Zhao Ji's spirits perked up, that is money!Immediately said with a smile: "Come and listen to the Qing family."

Zhong Liqiu said slowly: "The Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs is in charge of foreign trade. The scope of duties is too wide. It may be difficult to take care of the government when it is first set up. The bank has great profits but also has great risks. I am afraid that it will not be implemented in the world for a while. Tokyo The head office can be set up slowly, and the human and financial resources can be concentrated in the southeast, so as to develop step by step.”

"Zhongli Zhige, the office has a lot of work, but it's all border trade. It's just a collection of government powers such as the market and the Shibo department. I believe it can take care of it." Cai You is not a complete fool, he understands Zhongliqiu It means that this is weakening the relationship between the Commissioner's Office and the bank.

Zhong Liqiu didn't even look at Cai You, and continued: "The Maritime Business Case is in charge of overseas trade, and it needs to be close to restraint. The Office only needs to control it by name. The affairs of the Maritime Trade Case are under the jurisdiction of the two governments. , Only in this way can we let go and organize official ships to go to sea. Huangsong Jiangning Industrial and Commercial Bank is on the same level with maritime merchants, and is temporarily responsible for maritime merchant loans for organizing groups to go to sea. After accumulating money and silk, we will slowly develop iron smelting and textiles.”

"Of course, the balance of the military state on the Hushi transportation road must also be transferred to the bank for storage and used for overseas profits. Other than agricultural and commercial loans, banks should not get involved for the time being."

It is also reasonable. It is definitely not enough to fully bloom at the beginning. It is the best policy to concentrate on one area. Wang Xiu agrees with Zhong Liqiu's plan, but he also sees the real intention from Zhong Liqiu's suggestion, divide and conquer.

This is an upgraded version of Zhong Liqiu's prevention of Cai You's involvement in the maritime case and banks, and it is also the best preventive measure.

Zhao Ji fell into silence, Cai You didn't want to, it was clear that Zhong Liqiu split up the office and took away the power of overseas trade and banking.For these three attacks, five divisions and two divisions, he only has the monitoring power of the Maritime Market and the Shipping Department, half of the rights!Fighting back and forth and struggling hard, the fattest meat ran away from his mouth before taking a bite, how could Zhong Liqiu be cheaper in the end?

He had a very bad face, completely disregarding his father's teachings, and hurriedly said: "The office is a whole, how can it be divided into divisions, this is different from the original intention of the memorial."

Wang Xiu understood that it was time for him to play, and Cai You had clearly fallen into Zhong Liqiu's trap. As the first singer of the office and the bank, he had the most say.

Zhao Ji glanced at Wang Xiu and said, "What do Wang Qing's family think?"

Wang Xiu smacked her lips and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, what Zhongli Zhige said makes sense. I also had this kind of consideration at the beginning. The framework of the Office is too large and the power is too centralized, which violates the imperial system. Besides, the Office is in charge of all affairs, and its main focus is on Khitan and Dangxiang border, and monitor the import and export trade and taxation of the Maritime Bureau, and overseas affairs can be completely delegated to the maritime business case, allowing them to gather merchants to handle loans and organize overseas trade.

He didn't completely separate the Haishang case, and he wouldn't commit such a stupidity. He slapped himself in the face. What he wanted was that the Haishang case and Jiangning Bank were relatively independent, which was in the long-term interests of his family and country.

Cai You was dumbfounded. Wang Xiu insisted on his ideas despite Zhong Liqiu's pressure. This person is really smelly and tough. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "Could it be that a mere maritime business case can lead the entire overseas trade?"

"The Maritime Case can be upgraded to the Department of Maritime Affairs. As the government office in charge of maritime affairs in the southeast, the Office will take care of it and ignore it." Wang Xiu said unequivocally.
