Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 564 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 10
Wang Xiu was very troubled by corruption. Fortunately, in this era with good salaries, the problem of corruption is not extremely serious, and it is not too serious if it is not to the point of threatening the regime.However, Yu Wenyi reminded him, which he had never considered. It is difficult to control the navy abroad. Once a general has a different heart, or the court declines, it may cause the princes to separatist. It should be a separatist regime hanging overseas. .

He nodded involuntarily, raised his hand, and signaled Yu Wenyi to continue.

Seeing Wang Xiu's approval of his statement, Yu Wenyi was immediately encouraged and even more excited, and said loudly: "In case the officer is not as knowledgeable as my husband, my husband will naturally have a plan in his chest. However, after careful consideration, the officer asked Peng Rui for advice. Take the liberty to ask your husband for advice."

"The lower officials think that the ancients said that 'birds die for food, and people die for wealth', which is very reasonable! The Maritime Department and the bank control maritime trade and lending, and make huge profits. It is difficult for anyone to face such a huge profit and survive Virtue, blockage, on the contrary, make things more and more difficult, so it is better to prevent it.”

"How to prevent?" Zong Liang couldn't help asking. His question was appropriate and beneficial, and he would never overwhelm the host, because Wang Xiu would never ask. His status was just right, leaving infinite room for Wang Xiu to maneuver. .

"The imperial court has Taiwan's remonstrance, and it is easy to accept and pass the judgment. You may wish to ask the imperial court to set up a supervisory censor to preside over maritime affairs and bank supervision. Although the malpractice cannot be completely eliminated, it can still alleviate some of the malpractice. If we can set up a rumor box, maybe Merchants submit a letter to expose it, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Yu Wenyi took out the real guy, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Wang Xiu very seriously.

"The rumor box, Wu Zhou's cruel government, the court has Dengwen drums and letters to talk about things, so it may not be appropriate to set up a rumor box." Zong Liang couldn't help being a little disappointed, showing off with things from the previous dynasty, he really didn't know what to say what is good.

"At this time and at that time, Wu Zhou acted as a family's government, and the lower officials thought it was only for corruption and extortion, which had a far-reaching meaning. The nearest inspection was to send a censor, and the rumor box was only for internal inspection, not for the private interests of one person. And spy on everyone's secrets." He peeked at Wang Xiu's nod, which seemed to express his approval, and he was a little encouraged, and said: "Expanding the navy and conquering the South China Sea, you don't have to be self-sufficient. The low opinion of officials lies in the coastal merchants who have been boating overseas for many years. , has already formed several fixed ports of call. Xianggong can send envoys to borrow or rent, without having to worry about it himself, he will definitely get it, and then use the navy to slowly map it. The disadvantages are beyond the capabilities of lower officials, so I really don't know how to plan."

Wang Xiu and Zong Liang considered issues from different perspectives. It depends on when and where old things are used. He admired Yu Wenyi's wisdom very much.The system of stationed supervisory censors is obviously the progress of the times, and the system of thirteen supervisory censors can be adopted. The central government strengthens the control of the enemy, so that the censors can grasp the people's sentiments nearby.

As for the overseas expansion of the Walled City, that is a must. It is best not to subdue others. The rumor box is a good opportunity to start civil supervision and politics. As long as the guidance is correct, it can play a huge role, and it is what he has always wanted to do.

"Very good." The two words are very concise, but they represent a certain attitude.

With Wang Xiu's affirmation, Yu Wenyi looked extremely excited, and said: "This official has some superficial views, which makes my husband laugh."

Wang Xiu smiled, looked at Yu Wenyi and nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face, and still said: "Extracting merchant tax for sea ships is more expensive than official ships going to sea, so it can't be the same day. The company has no money to send goods to the sea. The South focuses on commerce and operates in order to increase wealth. The Maritime Safety Administration can have the funds to go to sea. Can you teach me?"

Yu Wenyi hesitated a little, and said in a deep voice: "Economics is not the director of the lower officials, but the lower officials have some experience, maybe they can raise money for the Maritime Safety Administration, I don't know what the gentleman thinks, apart from maritime affairs, what is the most profitable way for Liangzhe Road?" rich?"

Wang Xiu smiled and didn't answer. He would never answer such a question, but Zong Liang said with a smile: "Silk, porcelain, spices, salt tea, wine, all of them are profitable. Do you need to ask?"

Yu Wenyi glanced at Zongliang, secretly sighed that the prime minister's long history is well-deserved, and said: "Silk, porcelain, spices, salt tea, and wine, what is the first?"

"Northern salted tea, and southern silk porcelain, of course." Zong Liang was eloquent and eloquent, and he needed to keep all these necessary information in hand for Wang Xiu to consult at any time.

"Exactly, tea and salt have been monopolized by the government since Taizong, while the purchase of tea and salt by merchants has always been strictly controlled by the local government. Violators will be punished with severe punishment. Whoever wants to buy the entire quota can only exchange it with food and money at half the price, not counting the several salt farms and tea farms in Qiantang, and the Zixi Salt Farm in Changhua County alone can get quite a lot of food. Rumors of foreign traders, Naturally, they will flock to it, and exchange large quantities of food and money for tea and salt. The gentry and businessmen in Hangzhou are not willing to let this opportunity be monopolized by outsiders. In this way, the Changping deficit of the counties can be solved.”

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he pondered for a while, but he didn't focus on the economy first, but said: "The strategy of long-term waiting is appropriate, but things in the world are often not perfect, and there are gains and losses. The official has his own way to deal with it, but whether the general judgment can be countersigned is the problem."

There is no vice-signature of Tongjuan and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road Tax Supervisor, and the official documents issued by Wang Xiu are like waste paper. The person who promoted Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road Tax Supervisor is a person supported by Qin Hui, and he should not easily disobey him, but Wang Ang does not Be sure to buy it, that guy is a jackass.

Yu Wenyi thought it was true, but Wang Xiu’s taboo to bring up the conflict with Wang Ang was undoubtedly a kind of confirmation for him, maybe this was a good start, and he immediately said: “Wang Tongpan is also an upright person, and the country is beneficial to the people. , will not hinder."

Wang Xiu smiled disapprovingly. Wang Ang was not in his eyes. If he really wanted to confront him, it could be resolved through the Prime Minister's affairs of various countries, or the appeasement of the ambassador. Being criticized by others, he never wanted to cause unnecessary trouble, so he said: "Yuanhou is indeed a capable talent, if he can practice for several years with peace of mind, he will surely make great achievements in the future."

Yu Wenyi knew the elegant meaning when he heard the words, Wang Xiu gave him a promise, maybe he drew a cake, as for whether it can come true, it depends on how he chooses, others give you a way, no matter what you have to rely on yourself Walk.

Seeing Yu Wenyi's understanding, Wang Xiu gradually valued this person, looked at Liu Renfeng in a blink of an eye, and said, "Third brother, Renhe is a big county, and we have to start with you."

Liu Renfeng got up and said seriously: "Salt tea is a good policy to strengthen the country and enrich the people, so we should go all out."

Wang Xiu had a smile on his face, but he was not at ease in his heart. Some things seemed simple, but they were extremely difficult to do in reality!
