Chapter 35

In the next few days, with the implementation of the new policy, a series of personnel appointments and removals appeared in the court.

He was appointed as the chief of the Tianxia Changping Warehouse, the land management envoy, and the market affairs of the Tianxia. Li Shen was appointed as the envoy of the farming and the supervision of the Tianxia Society. He was appointed as the chief of the Tianxia Education and the field recruitment, and Wang Yaochen was appointed as the chief of the three departments of the Ministry of Public Affairs.

To curb rural rent interest, the Qingmiao loan that Li Shen used was once again raised. After many discussions by the court officials, he was abandoned because of too many disadvantages. Xu Ping summarized that Qingmiao loan lacked flexibility, had great benefits and great disadvantages. Remembering the rural micro-loans in his previous life, this practice is really not feasible.

Either the court pays money to make up for the excessive risks, which becomes a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Or the farmers bear the risks themselves, and there will be continuous bankrupt households. The profitable households may not necessarily remember their kindness. The bankrupt households and the forces who have been seized from lending opportunities will definitely hold grudges, which violates the political principle of the court to win the hearts of the people without accepting their grievances.

In the end, in order to solve the problem of weak resistance of lower-class households to natural disasters and man-made disasters in the countryside, the principle of government supervision and private operation was strictly implemented. Previously, private social organizations were dissolved if they were religious. Ordinances were reorganized, including those in the Fujian-Yue area, which were mainly in the Fujian-Yue area and those with illegal fundraising were reorganized and included in the unified supervision of the court.

In the Fujian-Yue area, due to the benefits of overseas trade, illegal fundraising will prevail and cause chaos many times. After the company's legislation, the court first sent specialists to visit, tried to formulate appropriate regulations, and promoted them to Guangdong and Guangxi and Jingdong Road. Private overseas trade was encouraged as a supplement to the official Maritime Bureau. The government set up specialists to supervise its accounts and organize supervision, and control the unrest in its infancy.

As private capital begins to become abundant, overseas trade will inevitably prosper, and it is impossible to control it all by the official. It is not safe to hand over all private trade to maritime merchants, and it is easy to have uncontrollable forces on the coast. After middle and lower-class households raise funds, they hire people to go overseas, and after making profits, they supplement them according to the method of equal share of stocks, and the official supports them. This is the method of promoting the coastal areas in the future, which is beneficial to the profits of the whole people and the official control.

The mainland clubs are mainly various professional trading clubs, river and canal clubs, cow clubs, farmland clubs, etc. They are set up according to the local and time periods, and there is no unified arrangement in the country, and they are not managed by local prefectures and counties. Each state has a supervisory club envoy, and is responsible for the supervisory club envoy at the road level. In view of the actual situation of each state, the official will either support or suppress different clubs.

For example, in places with many deserted fields, the official guides the development of land reclamation clubs and mainly reclaims land. In places with few deserted fields, guides rivers, canals, cattle and other agricultural tools, build water conservancy facilities, increase the number of oxen, and improve agricultural labor productivity. The support method is mainly to provide official guarantees, obtain low-interest loans from banks, and if suppressed, increase loan interest.

In the countryside, it is for the community to encourage farmers to support small and medium-sized farmers, crack down on mergers and allow their funds to gather in cities and towns. Industrialization requires industrial aggregation and rural market development, so that funds should not be deposited in the countryside.

The municipal affairs affairs mainly manages the guild organization of towns and towns, breaking the monopoly of large merchants over the industry. In the past, in order to control the official and facilitate scientific and technological provisions, most of the guilds were controlled by large merchants. The guilds controlled the commodity prices in various towns and did not allow customers from other places to sell goods freely. The large merchants enjoyed monopoly profits. At this time, the scientific and technological provisions had been cancelled. In order to prosper the commodity economy and stimulate the development of the industry, it was imperative to break the monopoly system of guilds. The establishment of the municipal affairs affairs was different from the purpose of Wang Anshi's reform in history. It was not for the official profit, but mainly to break the guilds' blocks in urban industry and commerce.

The function of the prescription is roughly the same as before, mainly controlling the prices of grain, oil and salt to prevent panic due to large price fluctuations in the daily necessities. However, unlike Wang Anshi's reform, the price is controlled by physical objects, and the physical objects of grain and oil are stored instead of money, and there is no loan to the outside world to generate interest. Industrial and commercial lending is mainly carried out by banks.

The land management was because of the possibility of disputes with local farming affairs, so the farmer was in charge and was promoted to Changping.

To provide academic affairs, help local governments set up academies, legal studies, martial arts and other political affairs, all of which are under the official school. In addition, medical studies and mathematics are required for all prefectures and counties across the country. According to local conditions, a hundred workers and agricultural studies are established, and the principle of persuasion by private officials is followed, and helping with money, grain and teachers is provided.

The style collection system imitates the ancient historians' style collection system, and all folk poetry, lyrics, music, speech, opera, etc. The entire voice of the people is compiled by the court. This is a separate system, helped by students from each school, and the style collection is independently carried out, which has nothing to do with the censors and is not an examination of the political achievements of officials.

The introduction of these policies has caused a lot of debate among officials, some of which are very fierce. Breaking the guild system, some officials are worried that the court's economic control ability of the town will be weakened. Once the state urgently uses it, the expropriation will be in no hurry, and the profiteering will be hoarded by profiteers and blackmailed the court. There are many such things, and there is almost no political and no debate.

As night fell, the officials lit kerosene lamps in the political affairs hall and placed them on the table among several priests.

Xu Ping rubbed his forehead hard, but he felt dizzy and couldn't bear it anymore.

Yan Shu stood up with his waist, walked back and forth between the two sides, sootheed his muscles and bones, and said to Xu Ping: "It's a bit urgent to set up so many national policies in such a short time. The court officials argued endlessly, and I don't know when it will end."

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, it's a little anxious. Otherwise, let us take a break for a while and let the court officials argue for a while, and then decide. Otherwise, we decide once, they argue once. They argue endlessly, but we can't hold on."

Zhang Dexiang said: "Or, first choose a few items that are less debated, and how many prefectures and counties should be tried?"

"Yes, if you don't try it, who can explain it clearly?" Xu Ping nodded. "Let's do this. For cities and towns, we will first try it on Jingxi Road to choose prefectures and counties, where industry and commerce are better. For rural agriculture, we will try it on Jingdong Road to choose prefectures and counties, where grain, mulberry and hemp are the best in the world. If you try it safely in one state, you will push one road. If you are safer, you will push several roads."

Several people agreed that they could not hold on to the disputes between court officials these days. Originally, it was normal for afternoon breaks, but these days, they all couldn't go home until dark, and they still had a big quarrel every time they went to court. Fortunately, all the prime ministers are in their prime now, and if they were old ministers, Li Di and those who were old ministers would definitely not be able to withstand such trouble.

Xu Ping can explain the principle, but in terms of specific policies, it is not something that can be explained clearly. He doesn't want to force himself to push it. If something goes wrong during implementation, someone will catch the handle to attack the entire reform. If you want to argue, then let the court officials make enough arguments at once. It is not useless to argue. Many omissions are indeed caught and can be used to improve the policies.

When everyone is tired of arguing, they will choose the trial of less debate and continue to implement it bit by bit. After all, the finances are relatively relaxed now, and it is not that time when reforms cannot be done. The urgency of reform is not that great, so you can take it slowly.

Standing up, Xu Ping said, "Forget it, let's do it today. Anyway, there will be noise tomorrow. I will do it later. Let's change my casual clothes together, go out to drink two cups, and relax your muscles and bones. If you don't go to court tomorrow, you don't have to come early."

Chen Zhizhong said: "Although Mr. Zhaowen has a good fortune, I feel a little embarrassed to invite us once a few days later."

"Then use the minister's money." Xu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The official family is so kind, let us use up all the minister's money every month, and we are not allowed to remain. How can we use it except drinking a few times?"

Everyone laughed together and said yes.

Xu Ping himself proposed that all the industries of officials in the capital city and the income of officials during their tenure in Beijing were given to the public. Zhao Zhen specially ordered them to give them the income of the industry, which was equivalent to a formality. He gave Xu Ping especially the face. All the industries in his family in the countryside were given back, but only those in the city were collected. Zhao Zhen didn't want this money, and he transferred them to the government affairs hall as ministers' ministers, and they also spent all of them every month.

All the priests' food and drink were spent on Xu Ping's income from the industrial income in Kaifeng City. They spent Xu Ping's money to feed the priests' mouths in the name of the court. This was because Zhao Zhen knew that Xu Ping was strict in official affairs and used this method to ease their relationship, not really Xu Ping's money.

Everyone knows what’s going on when the grudge is to oneself and the grudge is to the top. As the saying goes, wearing public uniforms and managing government is often not yours. Sometimes you can play some tricks like this to adjust the atmosphere.

In principle, when officials leave the government office, they have to wear public uniforms and change their clothes to free themselves from their ties. As long as you walk in Kaifeng City in official uniforms, various rules such as avoidance and rituals are indispensable. This is not only court etiquette, but also for the people to see so that they can feel a sense of belonging to the court.

It was already dark and there was no need to go home on their own. So they made an appointment to leave the imperial city and go to the servants who picked them up, and changed their clothes to the restaurant. After integrating into this world, Xu Ping was no longer nervous all day long, for fear that a killer would pop up from the shadows. The patrol troops in Kaifeng Prefecture could see almost each other, and all important streets were covered with important streets. As long as they did not get into the alley where people could not be seen, the security was still very good.

Xu Ping took the lords and walked out of the imperial city with a group of priests. The prime minister could ride a horse in the imperial city, but not in power, so everyone walked together. It was too late and there was nothing to do with him, so they walked out slowly together.

As soon as he reached the gate of the imperial city, he saw two small yellow gates rushing up like flying and called Xu Ping: "Sister Zhaowen, please stay! The Grand Marshal of the Privy Councilor reported the matter in Chongzheng Hall, and the officials' oral instructions were made. The grandfather and several prime ministers quickly entered the palace!"
