The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 445 Open and honest

"Brother Hui taught you the lesson."

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "However, a certain person feels that they don't dare to obey others."

Zhao Ji smiled shyly and said, "If Shouren thinks that they are concerned about your status as an imperial envoy, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. To put it bluntly, imperial envoys are only afraid of us officials. There are countless connections, but after all, you are not an official, so there is no need to be afraid of you."

Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "They are not afraid, but their relatives have to be scruples. Let's say that the Wu family has a servant in the court, so they will be cautious."

"If Shouren said that, it does make sense."

Zhao Ji had said enough, since Wang Shouren wanted to go all the way to the dark, let him do it.

"Clearing the land is the first step, and changing the commercial tax is the second step. Only when these two steps are done well can the New Deal continue to be implemented."

Although he is an imperial envoy, after all, he is still a county magistrate on the surface, and Zhao Ji, the magistrate, must nod if the New Deal is to be fully implemented.

Wang Shouren thought over and over again and decided to tell Zhao Ji what he thought.

"After these two steps have been taken, isn't the New Deal a success?"

Zhao Futai was puzzled and said.

"The next step is to give benefits to businessmen and ask them to invest money in setting up factories."

"Set up a factory?"

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Old Xiaoge said this first. He explained it for a long time before I understood. This factory does not refer to the East Factory or the West Factory, but workshops. For example, weaving workshops, brocade workshops, and so on."

"Is there no workshop before this?"

"It's different."

Wang Shouren explained to Zhao Ji what Xie Shen explained to him.

Zhao Futai was also a smart person, and immediately understood what Wang Shouren meant.

"Is this really okay?"

In his impression, a workshop of this scale can only be achieved by the Imperial Weaving Bureau, and it seems a little inappropriate for the folks to recruit people so aggressively.

"This is what Xiaoge Lao meant."

Wang Shouren said indifferently: "If you don't promise to benefit these merchants, they will definitely cause trouble."

Zhao Futai just wanted to roll his eyes, thinking that if you want to cut his flesh, can he not cause trouble?

"Shouren means to use this to lure these gentry into the imperial court?"

"It would be best if they could change their gender. If they can't, don't force them. There are other merchants available."

In the Ming Dynasty, four-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged merchants were plentiful.

Although those gentry were also involved in business, they were born as big landlords after all, and there were still many restrictions on their thinking. To some extent, they were not as courageous as merchants who were born in the market.

Wang Shouren wants to implement the New Deal, so it is obviously more appropriate to use these merchants from the market.

"Well, it seems that it is indeed the most appropriate to do so at the moment."

If Wang Shouren bypassed these local gentry without saying a word, the other gentry would definitely be dissatisfied, and these people would unite to resist the New Deal, and Wang Shouren would also get into trouble.

Although in his capacity as an imperial envoy, he would definitely be able to solve the trouble in the end, but it would take a lot of energy for nothing.

And if Wang Shouren had greeted these gentry in advance and given them a chance, there would definitely be many gentry willing to cooperate with him.As for the rest of the stubborn ones, there is no need to say much, just throw them away like trash.

This is actually the same attitude towards Zhao Ji and Wang Shouren.He didn't want to use his status as an imperial envoy to pressure Zhifu Zhao, but hoped that Zhifu Zhao could reach a consensus with him on the general direction.

He doesn't need Zhao Ji to stand on the opposite side of Jinshen, he just hopes that Zhao Ji will not hold back.

Being an official is difficult, especially being an official for parents.

At this moment, Wang Shouren realized that Xie Shen was not easy.

What he governs is just the government of a county, and he has encountered so many troubles in the implementation process.Siming has to face the entire Ming Dynasty to implement the New Deal!

There are countless people waiting for you to make mistakes, and you will be caught by the other party if you are not careful.

This is the difficulty of Siming's New Deal this time.

If the New Deal is a big success, naturally nothing will happen, and both Wang Shouren and Xie Shen will be famous forever.

And once the New Deal fails, the opponents will jump out together and concoct a bunch of crimes against those who implement the New Deal.

Politics has always been like this.

There is no right or wrong in this game, only winners and losers.

After coming out of the government office, Wang Shouren went straight back to the county office.He was relieved after Zhao Zhifu greeted him.As for the next thing, there is no need to dig into the details, just let it take its course.

When he came to Houya's study, Wang Shouren wrote a long letter with his pen and ink.

The letter was written to Xie Shen, explaining his main actions after arriving in Huating County, and asking for Xie Shen's opinion.

Although it takes at least a month for letters to and from Jingshi Songjiang, communication is indispensable.

Especially when it comes to the implementation of the New Deal, Wang Shouren dare not let his own temper go.

After all, Siming is in a high position, so it is appropriate to stand high and look far and let him check it out.

After writing, Wang Shouren read it carefully again, and after confirming that it was what he wanted to express, he let out a sigh of relief.

After writing, he packed the letter and handed it to a personal attendant, and asked him to leave for the capital immediately, and hand over the letter to Xie Shen, a cabinet scholar.

This new policy does not belong to Siming alone, nor does it belong to Wang Shouren alone, but belongs to the benevolent people in the world who are willing to reform the bad governance of Ming Dynasty, and it belongs to the people of the world.

"Book of Rites" says, "The way of the great way is also, the world is for the public."

For the sake of the common people in the world, and for the sake of the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren must do this job well, and he has no way out.

Once there is a problem with the implementation of Huating's new policy, it will definitely be caught by the opponents and criticized, and it will be very difficult to eradicate the chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty.

The two of them, one inside and the other outside, working together may not have the opportunity to wrestle with these gentry and bureaucrats.

There are some things that you will not regret if you have done them, especially when the Ming Dynasty seems to be prosperous but in fact it is sluggish.

He knew that Siming had also tried his best to get him as an imperial envoy.How many of the Lords of Nagongon really hope to change?They hope that everything will be conservative, so that their children and grandchildren can enjoy endless wealth and glory.

If he didn't have the status of an imperial envoy, Zhao Ji, the prefect, would not be so kind to him when he came to the prefect. As a subordinate, he would have to get Zhao Ji's permission to do anything, which can be said to be a constraint everywhere.

And if he wasn't an imperial envoy, it would be difficult for him to be so handy when facing the local gentry.

In the final analysis, what these gentry are afraid of is not Wang Shouren, but the supreme monarchy symbolized behind him.

What they are afraid of is the emperor!
The Son of Heaven is not a conservative person, whoever disobeys his old man's wishes will definitely be hit with blood!
