Chapter 333 Business and Politics
Although the movable type workshop and the rental of chariots and horses have given these wealthy businessmen great surprises, this huge debt still makes them feel a little bit stressed.
But they even regretted it a little bit. If they had known this before, they might as well donate money instead of land. Isn’t this superfluous?
But then I thought about it, the copper money in the family is not taxed, but the land is taxed!
But the annual interest of [-] strings is not a small amount for each of them, and even most donors cannot afford it.
Tangled!
Although the surprise is not small, the burden is also heavy!
But then again, is a loan of [-] yuan a lot?
Is the interest of [-] strings a lot?
This is a businessman who has never seen the world.
It was a coincidence that when the Charity Fund of the Song Dynasty borrowed money from the Ma family, the Department of Regulations of the Second Government was also borrowing money from the imperial court.
Wang Anshi's method of equal transportation has two meanings. First, it saves money for the country, seeks near distance, and transports tribute reasonably. Of course, it can save a lot of money.Second, making money for the country is the so-called buying cheap and selling expensive, but this requires capital!
Otherwise, no matter how cheap the goods are, they will not be able to afford them, and they will not be able to afford them even if they are bought.
The core of Wang Anshi's reform is financial management, but how to manage financial management without giving capital.
Is it an empty glove white wolf?
What's the difference between that and robbery.
Wang Anshi really couldn't do such a thing.
This is the difference between him and those treacherous officials. Many treacherous officials use the reform as a cover. The so-called means are just doing business without money, robbing the people and merchants of money to enrich the treasury.
But no matter how treacherous and despicable those wealthy businessmen are, the government cannot rob them, because as long as the government takes the lead in robbing, this situation will only get worse and the country will be over.
But this Wang Anshi is also a ruthless person, or in other words, a highly skilled person is bold.
If you open your mouth, you will have to borrow 1000 million Guan from the imperial court.
It can only be said that there is a strong player among the strong, and there is a mountain as high as a mountain!
But it also attracted opposition from many courtiers, including most of the political advisers in the political hall.
The finances are in deficit. Shouldn’t saving be the first priority? If an additional 1000 million yuan is allocated to the shipping department, then don’t do anything next year and simply take annual leave.
However, Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu really never thought about asking the treasury to allocate money.
Because they all know that this is impossible.
There are rules and regulations for the money in the treasury, but it doesn't mean that your emperor can move it if he wants.
If the disciples of Zhongshu do not approve, the emperor actually has nothing to do.
But the emperor is not stupid, the imperial power is also closely related to money, if the emperor does not have money in his hand, the dragon chair may not be able to sit firmly!
The emperors of all dynasties have private money.
That is, the built-in library.
Zhao Xu decided to allocate 500 million guan from the internal warehouse for 300 million stones of rice, and also cut 200 million guan from the money and sundries offered every year and lent it to the Shipping Department.
The ministers still opposed it fiercely. The inner treasury said that it was the emperor's private money, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, the money was not all the emperor's personal money, and it was also of a public nature. Simply put, it was an emergency.
Mainly military pay and disaster relief.
If there is a war and the treasury has no money, the inner treasury has to allocate money. If there is a famine and the treasury has no money, the inner treasury has to allocate money.
However, the inner treasury is mainly based on the will of the emperor, and the ministers can only persuade the emperor, but cannot use administrative orders to stop the emperor.
In the Chui Gong Temple this morning, everyone had another quarrel.
But Zhao Xu still firmly supported Wang Anshi.
"Ugh!"
After leaving the imperial city, Wen Yanbo sighed: "It seems that the officials are determined to support Wang Jiefu."
Sima Guang said: "It's expected."
You don't need to think about it, you know, this must have been discussed a long time ago.
"But I didn't expect that Wang Jiefu would be so ruthless that he wanted to borrow 1000 million guan."
Wen Yanbo said: "This is borrowing, not appropriating. Borrowing has to be repaid, and repayment must include interest. Needless to say, I know that Wang Jiefu must guarantee to the officials that he will definitely be able to make money.
The 1000 million coins are put into the market, and the owner behind it is a government official. This is a business that cannot lose money. It won't take long for them to plunder the businessmen's profits. "
Sima Guang asked: "Junshi would venture to ask, is Mr. Wen opposed to allocating 1000 million guan to the shipping department, or is he opposed to the official business."
Wen Yanbo said: "I am against it."
Sima Guang asked again: "Then Mr. Wen thinks which one is more important."
Wen Yanbo pondered for a while, and said: "Naturally, the former is more important than the latter. If it is just a businessman who spends 1000 million pennies for business, it is not so terrible. If he raises the price, the government can still take care of it, even if it is a minister in private. When it comes to business, at least the government can manage it, and you and I can supervise it, but who can control it if the government spends 1000 million yuan on business?"
Sima Guang replied: "The judiciary can control it. If Wang Jiefu takes the money and buys it normally, then that's fine. But they dare to use this public power to practice favoritism and fraud. The judiciary will not let it go. I will deal with buying and selling. But there are express regulations, and they are not allowed to mess around."
Wen Yanbo asked in a low voice: "Can the judiciary control the official family?"
Sima Guang was silent for a while before slowly answering: "The government is only borrowing money to reduce the loss of the national treasury. If there is an illegal act, it is not the government's wish, and it must be someone else."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard, and said again: "Are you sure you can control it?"
Sima raised his head bald.
Wen Yanbo looked up, but saw that there were only four or five laborers repairing the road in front of him, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "What is there to see?"
Sima Guang asked with a smile: "Could it be that Duke Wen didn't notice that the road conditions in Bianliang City have improved a lot in recent days compared to before."
Wen Yanbo said: "I have discovered this a long time ago. The dust and feces are much less, which also makes the complaints from the officials of the DPRK and China much less about the license plate fee."
"Not only that."
Sima Guang chuckled, "Mr. Wen please."
Sima Guang led Wen Yanbo to the intersection of Bianhe Street and Zhouqiao.
Wen Yanbo said in surprise: "The flow of people here seems to have decreased a lot."
"It's not that there are fewer, but that everyone abides by the rules, and at a fixed time, there are special patrols here to command, so there is very little congestion. Did Mr. Wen see the pavilion?"
"It seems that the police station made police boxes, and each police box has two patrol officers standing guard."
"Take a closer look."
Sima Guang said.
Wen Yanbo glanced at it for a while, but did not see the mystery, and looked at Sima Guang suspiciously.
Sima Guang smiled and said, "Hasn't Mr. Wen ever had a drink at the Shangqiao shop?"
Wen Yanbo suddenly realized, "I know what you are talking about. The place where the police box is located belongs to Qiaodian."
Sima Guang nodded, and asked again: "Does Wen Gong know who is the proprietor behind this bridge shop?"
"It seems to belong to the Gao family."
"Exactly."
Sima Guang smiled and said: "But now this circle has been demolished. It is said that they wanted to pay the street tax at that time, but the police station did not agree. Why? Because this is not only the bridge entrance, but also the main road leading to the market. The intersection is very prone to congestion. Also, there were many vendors doing business on the bridge, but now there is one person?"
Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "Regarding the street invasion, the police station did a good job."
Sima Guang said: "But before that, many ministers wanted to deal with these trespassing behaviors, but no one succeeded. It can be seen that many things are not as difficult as we imagined!"
Wen Yanbo said, "However, Zhang San owes a lot to the success of this matter!"
Sima Guang said: "That's why I fought for Zhang San."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Are you sure?"
Sima Guang nodded.
Wen Yanbo asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
Sima Guang said: "Zhang San promised me before that he would go to Guozijian to teach litigation, but many things happened in the middle, and this matter was delayed. I plan to take advantage of the Guozijian teaching to lead him to my judicial department step by step. reform."
Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "You really worked so hard for that kid!"
Sima Guang suddenly turned his head to look at one place, and said with a smile: "This son's talent is something Wen Gong and I don't have."
Wen Yanbo tilted his head, followed Sima Guang's gaze, and saw three or five teenagers fighting for a small ball in a corner. They were playing football, not Cuju.
The reason why Cuju is more popular in the palace than in the folk is because the threshold is relatively high, and football is relatively low.
Football quickly became popular among the people.
Teaching?
At this time Zhang Fei really didn't have the time to spare, he was about to be pissed off by Ma Shuai Wang Chao's IQ, and he was rushing to guard Ma headquarters with Fan Zheng at this time.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a burst of shouting.
"This way! This way! Pass it over!"
"Who are you going to pass it on to?"
"Sorry, kicked a little harder!"
Looking up, I saw that the original playground had been converted into a simple football field, and more than 20 soldiers of the Imperial Army were running on the field.
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Sanlang, your football charm is not small!"
Is it a lot of charm, or is it too much publicity?Zhang Fei smiled wryly: "But football can't protect the country!"
Fan Zheng smiled awkwardly, and suddenly said: "Huh? Isn't that Ya Nei and Xiao Ma?"
Zhang Fei took a closer look, "It's really these two guys."
So he immediately shouted: "Yanei, pony!"
"Third brother?"
The two ran over immediately.
"Zhang San, Da Lang, why are you here?"
Cao Dongdong asked Zhang Fei while wiping his sweat.
Fan Zheng replied: "Oh, let's talk to Ma Shuai about something."
Zhang Fei asked, "Why are you two here?"
Ma Xiaoyi immediately complained: "Third brother, you don't know something. Those policemen are very busy on weekdays, so they don't have time. Huh, huh."
Speaking normally, Cao Dongdong suddenly covered their mouths with one hand, and complained to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, you are all to blame."
Zhang Fei wondered, "Blame me?"
"Yup!"
Cao Dongdong said with a serious face: "It's all your fault for holding such a football league and getting such a high prize money. Everyone wants to compete for this prize money, so I asked Xiao Ma to teach them about our friendship with many generals in Sanya. It’s all good, it’s hard to turn down the hospitality.”
Ma Xiaoyi also reacted and nodded.
"Really?" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "But you two, as the ace players of the police station, have cultivated the strength of your opponent, isn't that justified?"
Aces?
Cao Dongdong couldn't help but his eyes flashed sharply. This title is not bad, I like it.
Ma Xiaoyi took Cao Dongdong's hand away, and said depressedly: "We also want to teach, but the police station is very busy now, and everyone doesn't have much time to play football."
"pony?"
Cao Dongdong wanted to cover it, but it was too late.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "You two don't want to change careers, do you?"
Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "That's not true. I still prefer to be a policeman. I can help the strong and help the weak. I don't have to worry about being beaten by my father. Today I am here to play football with my brother during the holiday."
Since becoming a policeman, he seems to have found his purpose in life. He usually likes to fight injustices, but in the eyes of many people, this is meddling and asking for trouble. As a policeman, he can justifiably complain. It's just a matter of adhering to a few rules.
But Cao Dongdong was troubled.
He really stepped in by accident, but he never thought about being a policeman for the rest of his life, and now his focus is on football.
Zhang Fei saw it, but he didn't say anything. His status is not only economic freedom, but also employment freedom. He nodded and said: "Okay, you guys continue to play, I'll talk to Ma Shuai first. matter, we will have dinner together later?"
Cao Dongdong hurriedly said: "No, I have to explain this football formation to them later."
Realize the value of life?Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay! Let's move on to another day."
He just came outside the hall, but when he saw Wang Chao leading the two generals, he came out to welcome him. The treatment was quite good.
"My nephew is here!"
"Nephew?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help being taken aback.
When did our relationship get so close?
Wang Chao immediately said: "Your father-in-law and I are considered acquaintances, can't I call you a good nephew?"
"Okay! Of course! It's the younger generation who is flattered."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
After entering the hall, Zhang Fei handed a list to Wang Chao, "Ma Shuai, is this the list you sent someone?"
Wang Chao took a look, "That's right! Is there any question?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't Ma Shuai feel that there is a problem?"
Wang Chao shook his head.
Zhang Fei said: "A total of 36 teams participated in the competition. Is this okay?"
When he saw this list, he laughed angrily. The good football league turned Wang Chao into an internal friendly match.
What's worse is that this is just a guard horse, and there are still guards' steps over there, and the front office of the palace. After this calculation, there are more than 100 teams in Sanya alone, so others still can't play!
The key point is that Zhang Fei can't organize so many games!
Wang Chao snorted and said, "I have more than 36 guards and horses, and how many people are in the police station. Compared with that, we have formed [-] teams, which is not a lot. Besides, you are not satisfied with our praise of your field?"
If calculated in proportion, this is really not much. Who dares to compare the number with San Ya, it is not crazy.
I am satisfied with your sister, are you flattering it?You are obviously flattering!Zhang Fei said with a mixed smile: "Of course I am very grateful for Ma Shuai to support my field, but if 36 teams are allowed to participate, then my football league may be gone."
Wang Chao wondered, "Why?"
Zhang Fei said: "Have you heard about Marshal Ma, there are many rumors circulating in the city recently, saying that I want to replace Cuju with football?"
Wang Chao nodded and said, "I've heard about it, but what does it have to do with this matter?"
Zhang Fei said: "And this includes many ministers of the DPRK and China. They are looking for trouble with me. If 36 teams of guards and horses are allowed to participate, they will definitely use the problem again, saying that my football has disturbed the morale of the army and ordered the soldiers of the forbidden army to compete. Playing things and losing one's mind, what kind of guard horse, it's enough to change it to a guard. Ma Shuai, the forbidden army has the duties of the forbidden army, and it's not just for playing football. It's okay to just form a constant team and earn some money to subsidize military expenses, but It would be a mouthful to have so many teams formed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a general said: "Ma Shuai, I think Zhang San's words are justified, if this leads to the impeachment of civil servants, it will only cause trouble!"
These generals are also very afraid of this, and Zhang Fei is definitely not scaremongering.
Wang Chao pondered for a moment, then asked Zhang Fei, "What's your suggestion?"
Zhang Fei said: "Maximumly form a team of the front office, guard horse, and guard step, and there can be no more."
Wang Chao was a little hesitant about this. There were many numbers among the bodyguards, and they were not so harmonious with each other. This bowl of water should be balanced!
Zhang Fei also explained: "Shuai Ma, everyone here admires the strong. The 36 underdogs are far less popular than a strong team. The more popular the team, the more money it can make. Teams are also better than 36 teams.
From the perspective of the competition between the three Yamen, if Dianqiansi and Shiweibu put all the powerful players in one team, then Ma Shuai and your 36 teams will only be trampled under their feet. "
Wang Chao was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable, all right! Then follow what you say."
Earning a little less money is only secondary. If you are stepped on by the front office and the guards, that is absolutely unacceptable.
After talking about this matter, Zhang Fei and Fan Zheng left.
"Sanlang, your words are really impeccable. To tell you the truth, if it were me, I...I might not even know what to do."
Fan Zheng said with a look of admiration for the guard horse.
When he got this list before, this end was big, because the rules were not limited, and the opponent was Sanya. Although the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military, the commander of Sanya was not something ordinary people could offend.
He hurried to find Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll replace you next time."
"what?"
Fan Zheng quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't."
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Zheng, withdrew his smile, and said sternly, "Dalang, your Baifan building is only so big at present, and the business is relatively simple, and the experience you can get is limited. Foundations are more capable of training people, this is actually a very rare opportunity for you, after all, the power behind our charitable foundation is not weak, if you miss this opportunity, you may not have it again."
Fan Zheng listened, pondered for a while, and suddenly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Sanlang for your advice, Zheng will definitely do his best."
His ambition is actually not small. He has always wanted to build the Alumni Building into a complex, but he doesn't have a specific plan for how to implement it. At present, if there is an opportunity, he will mix it up.
For example, for charitable foundations, he asked to be put in the Alumni Building.
However, charitable foundations are a hodgepodge of everything, involving a lot of business. To manage a foundation, one must be proficient in the art of maneuvering. This is indeed a very good opportunity for experience.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Mr. Chen and the others will definitely let their son or grandson join the charity foundation as soon as possible. You will lead this team. If there is any problem, I will come to you."
"Yes."
Fan Zheng nodded.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I believe in your ability, and our charity foundation is a match made in heaven."
Fan Zheng blushed, "Sanlang praised me so much, I'm ashamed not to take it."
But speaking, he was a little puzzled again, "I don't know what Sanlang is responsible for?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I'm in charge of spending money, oh no, I'm in charge of donating money."
"what?"
Fan Zheng was taken aback.
Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Don't underestimate the donation. This is the most difficult task for a charity foundation. The court can tolerate the establishment of a charity foundation because of the word charity. If the donation is not good, That would be a big problem."
Fan Zheng thought about it, it really is so, the imperial court doesn't care how much money you make, they only care about how much money you donate.
In fact, it is impossible for Zhang Fei to focus on charitable foundations. After all, this is not a capital era, but a feudal era, and is facing a political storm, so his focus is still on the court.
The point is that he is not from a major. He can arrange some plans with the knowledge beyond the times, but if he is asked to carry out every task in detail, he may not be as good as Fan Zheng.
It really takes experience.
This year's Chinese New Year is busier than usual. I have to go to the elder's house and meet up with friends, but I will try my best to keep updating. Please forgive me.
