I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 496
Habits play a huge role. Today's ministers and workers in the court have not completely escaped from the past 40 years of ruling habits of the late emperor, and are still used to pointing out the country in front of the officials.

When they were inexplicably interrupted by the officials, it was not only the Court of Qinzheng Palace who withdrew, but also their ignited enthusiasm.

The night wind outside the Qinzheng Hall blows everyone's cheeks, and everyone wakes up...~Where is the workshop city?That is almost the private domain of the official family.What are the emerging industries in Workshop City?None of that can be separated from the official family, at least so far, no industry has been separated from the official family.

At this time, everyone realized this: without the permission of the government, how bold is Han Zhen and Han Yuru, dare to propose the sale of new products and crafts in the workshop city at the court meeting?
And in the entire political discussion, everyone ignored the interests of the royal family... a mistake!

Fortunately, this is only the first discussion, and there is still a chance to make up.

There has never been a matter that has been so enthusiastic about the sale of various products and crafts in the workshop city, even if there is a war on the border, it will not receive such a great deal of attention.

It's a pity that due to the restriction of the secrecy law, the information on yesterday's political discussions was not disclosed, but one thing is certain, the imperial court really intends to sell those crafts.

This is enough, the rest is nothing more than a matter of more money and less money.Therefore, there are various rumors in the market.

It took only one night for the matter to ferment.That's right, yesterday the ministers were discussing the state affairs, and the whole country was discussing the state affairs.

Merchants thought that this was their field, and officials were not experts in the end, so such matters should be discussed by them, and the court only needed to decide whether to sell it. As for the value...

As for the value, some irresistible dentists have already begun to estimate the prices of various crafts.

To be honest, the industry of Workshop City these years is really enviable.From tables, chairs and benches to cement carriages, from cakes and biscuits to wool spinning, almost including food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is no more profitable business than the workshop city.

The key is that the entire country is the only one, and there is no semicolon.But all the military states in the country have long recognized the products of the workshop city. I heard that even the Northern Liao Xixia is proud of owning a set of desks and chairs from the workshop city, and proud of owning a car from the workshop city.However, Workshop City focuses on armaments, and these products are sold in limited quantities.

As long as you have a little knowledge, you know that whoever can get the secret method and craftsmanship of the products of the workshop city will get a steady stream of financial resources for several generations.

Some big merchants, including Yaxing, hurriedly began to show their presence.

Because of the Market Change Law, they have been lurking all this time, and even tried to put pressure on the imperial court, so that the court should not blindly push away the Market Change Law.

The reason why courtiers and workers actively criticize the Market Change Law is that such people have made great efforts behind their backs.Now that there is such a thing, I can finally show my skills.

Therefore, from "Cuju Express" to "Shi Lun", there are related articles about the sale of the products and crafts of the workshop city.

"Cuju Express" focuses on analyzing and explaining the products of Gongfangcheng... It is not necessary to advertise in Gongfangcheng.

However, "On the Time" focused on analyzing the effect of the sale of the products and crafts of the workshop city on the tax revenue of the country and court.

I asked Zhao Xi for instructions last night... in one word: Let it go.

Early in the morning, everyone who discussed the state affairs yesterday quickly finished their daily business affairs and quickly gathered in the political affairs hall...

"Yesterday, during the political discussion, the intentions of all the ministers and workers basically agree with the sale of crafts in the workshop city. So, let's not talk about whether to sell them today, or the pros and cons of selling crafts."

Everyone is used to Zhao Xi's straightforwardness.

"But because of the sudden incident in the workshop city, I carefully considered it last night. I have a few requirements for the invitation to the workshop city this time: to put it bluntly, the workshop city still focuses on armaments, even if it is selling crafts. , and most of them are also products extended from armaments.”

"For example, carriages are no different from chariots; biscuits are related to military rations; cement is a sharp weapon for building walls and other fortifications. Boilers are also closely related to armaments due to salt and iron control."

"I don't want other countries to use my Great Song's chariots to fight our army when fighting other countries, and I don't want other countries' fortifications to be built by my Great Song's cement."

"So, even if Workshop City sells the craftsmanship of various products, it must be ensured that these products and craftsmanship are not stolen by other countries. Regarding the sale of Workshop City's product craftsmanship, it must be based on this. This is the bottom line."

"The sale of the products and crafts of the workshop city shall be in the form of authorization, and the workshop city shall not lose its dominance. In addition, the market exchange law is currently under discussion, but a consensus has been basically reached on the disadvantages of Guochao barter monopoly. The authorization of many product processes in the city will put an end to the occurrence of monopoly.”

"Considering that some products are related to armaments, I decided to use government-run private assistance as the main form for the authorization of the workshop city's product technology. As for how it works, let's discuss it based on this bottom line today."

"After discussing and reaching an agreement, after signing by everyone here, hand it to me in the form of a memorial..."

Zhao Xi didn't want to listen to their excuses to sell dog meat, and if he stayed here, he couldn't let them put their interests on the table.

After stating the basic principles and the bottom line, Zhao Xi left the council hall, leaving behind a group of confused and messy officials.

Yesterday's political discussion, because the incident happened suddenly, after the political discussion ended, everyone quickly got together with each other, and formed the intention of how to carve up those crafts in various exchanges, which also reserved enough interests for the royal family.

Originally, they were full of confidence, thinking that today's discussion can completely finalize the sale of crafts in the workshop city.

But in the end... this has not even started yet, the officials' principle and bottom line messed up the things that everyone had worked so hard to decide on.

Proposal?How to discuss?It must be based on the official request, which is equivalent to overthrowing and starting over, and there is no reason to refute it.

One is monopoly, even the ministers and workers who opposed the Market Change Law realized the damage to the imperial court caused by the monopoly of big merchants.

The second is armaments. Since the celebration of the calendar year, the country's dynasty has turned from defeat to victory. Everyone knows that it is because of the improvement of armaments.

No one can find a suitable excuse to refute the officials on these two points.

Although everyone is essentially for the benefit, but if you really want to make a move and say something, you still have to have a reason that can be put on the table.

Zhao Xi has a complete plan. The reason for milking the cows in this way, squeezing out little by little, is to let the elites focus on doing things for the country.

Because of the Market Change Law, Zhao Xi pretended to be angry once in the court, and also raised the selfishness of the ministers and workers.

But he didn't expect that that time would make the ministers and workers completely wake up, or that a few words would make those old foxes change their ways and serve the country loyally.

Some things need to be done slowly, whether it is changing the old man's original style or establishing his own prestige, it cannot be done overnight.

Maybe this is a bit of a deliberate intention to torment the ministers, or maybe he really has this intention.From Zhao Xi's point of view, only by tossing around like this a few times can the servants really put their heart into it and gradually change to a style that suits them.
