Chapter 567: The file of the Supply and Marketing Department, a gift from the virtuous father
The next day,
After Li Changan left the small courtyard, he set off for the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department.
After nodding, seven people including Feng Buyi, Song Siren and Zeng Shicai were summoned into the study.
After everyone bowed one by one,
Li Changan took out the files he had compiled over the past few days, one volume per person, "Read it first, and ask if you don't understand anything."
A few people nodded, and after taking the file, they immediately lowered their heads and started reading.
In the study room, there was only the sound of pages turning.
Soon, the expressions of the seven people changed again and again.
Especially Zeng Shicai.
He was originally the son of the Minister of Hubu, and he followed his father closely.
Now looking at Li Changan's internal files, it feels like his horizons have been broadened.
The further back I look, the more frightened I become.
The master's handiwork is so amazing! It's hard to imagine!
"This... this..." Zeng Shicai's hands were shaking.
This dossier may not seem to contain much, but the information contained in it is enough to cause huge turmoil in the officialdom!
Even he could only understand part of the contents inside, but he couldn't understand the more advanced contents.
The other six people all had almost the same look of shock.
They had previously followed Li Changan on his southern tour of the town and Fusi, focusing on disaster relief, and had a deep understanding of people's livelihood matters.
In recent years, he has been in the imperial court's favor and has been involved in many affairs. I thought he knew everything about the court affairs, but now it seems that he has only scratched the surface.
Just the file in their hands, if they were allowed to think and study it by themselves, they wouldn't be able to figure it out even within a few years.
Li Changan poured a cup of tea and gently blew the hot air, "If you have any questions, ask them now."
"After that, what you need to do is to set up official positions and responsibilities according to this file, and at the same time establish a government affairs network to ensure that the entire Supply and Marketing Department can operate in an orderly manner."
The study became quiet, and Zeng Shicai was the first to ask,
"Sir, what do you mean by the unified purchase and sale of large quantities of goods?"
Li Changan took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "For bulk goods, let's take grain as an example."
"The grain production in the southern part of the Jin Dynasty accounts for 70% of the entire Jin Dynasty. The daily circulation of grain depends on major trading houses."
"The grain that the people have worked so hard to grow is sold at low prices by the merchants who jointly lower the price. Then the merchants stock up the goods and sell the rarest goods to the north and northwest. The prices are ridiculously high."
"After unified purchasing and marketing, the Supply and Marketing Department will purchase grain at an appropriate price, and then sell it to other places at a fair price. The purchases will be unified and sold uniformly. The people will get benefits, and the court will also get money from it."
Feng Buyi hissed lightly, "Isn't this taking away the jobs of grain merchants?"
Li Changan sneered disdainfully, "Is that their job? Have you forgotten the scene during the disaster relief in the south?"
"That is the golden bowl filled with the blood of the people!"
Song Siren said with concern, "Being just a grain merchant, there are countless connections behind it. Once this happens, it may cause turmoil."
Li Changan put down the tea cup, "Have you forgotten what I did during the disaster relief in the south?"
"Anyone who disobeys the Supply and Marketing Department will be killed!"
As soon as the words came out, although he did not use murderous intent, the mere murderous intent in his words sent chills down the backs of the seven people present.
Li Changan continued, "Not just grain, but all goods related to the lifeline of Jin will be under the unified jurisdiction of the Supply and Marketing Department from now on."
"Salt, iron, sugar, coal, etc., gather them all."
"Local circulation is naturally allowed, but the circulation quantity and circulation scope need to be set here. In other words, normal exchange and buying by the people is allowed, but large quantities of buying low and selling high by commercial banks are prohibited."
"Bulk goods exceeding a certain quantity will be controlled by the local supply and marketing departments."
Just the first item made the seven people present feel frightened.
This is to clean up the trading houses in Dajin from top to bottom.
How many people are involved? It’s hard to even think about.
Several people were even wondering whether their family was also related to a trading company. If that was the case, it would be best to withdraw quickly.
Judging from the strong style of the Lord, I am afraid that no matter who it is, those who disobey will end up in a bad situation.
It's not impossible to kill everyone and leave them with heads!
Since his return as an adult, his prestige among the people has reached a level that is hard to reach.
What's more, with the help of the official positions sent out, the academy and the imperial court were completely tied to the warship.
Unless the Queen empress personally blocks it, the decision-making of the Supply and Marketing Department will inevitably be driven by your lord's iron blood.
Xue Shiqing tightened his throat and continued to ask, "Is the Supply and Marketing Department directly under the Transportation and Warehousing Bureau specially established by your Excellency just for the unified purchase and sale of these bulk goods?"
Li Changan nodded and explained, "Yes, once bulk goods are involved, reasonable distribution must be done beforehand."
“Instead of buying it when you want it.”
"In addition to the Transportation and Warehousing Bureau, the Bureau of Statistics and Analysis directly under the Department of Supply and Marketing will also protect this."
"Collect the grain production and consumption quantities of various prefectures in Dajin, formulate future demand ranges for each prefecture, and provide reference for the supply and marketing department's acquisition and distribution."
"Since the official position has been given to the academy, the academy will also provide the Yunxiao Treasure Ship and Xumi Treasure Bag as public properties of the Transportation and Warehousing Bureau."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, sketching out the coordination between these departments in their minds.
Cao Yandao turned to the tenth page of the file and asked, "Sir, are the sales of agricultural and sideline products from various places mentioned on page ten also distributed in bulk?"
Li Changan shook his head and explained, "Agricultural and sideline products are different. They are not necessities."
"Necessities such as grain, salt, etc. have a rough quantity every year. If there are more, they can be deposited into the national treasury and hoarded."
"It is difficult to hoard agricultural and sideline products. The Bureau of Statistics and Analysis needs to provide corresponding analysis files in advance."
"Then the local supply and marketing bureaus will post public notices to advise local people on what kind of agricultural products to produce."
"It will be purchased by the local supply and marketing department and distributed to various supply and marketing bureaus."
"This can not only prevent people from blindly following the trend, resulting in failure to sell, but also analyze the demand in various places and make a targeted decision."
"So the supply and marketing bureaus in various places must be able to both collect and sell. To ensure that people can sell their things at a good price at any time, and to ensure that people can buy affordable goods."
…
Throughout the morning, Li Changan was answering questions for seven people.
And these seven people also tried to thoroughly study the files given to them by Li Changan.
This is just a general outline, but they still need to sort out the specific operations, division of duties and responsibilities, and rules for conducting government affairs.
Just studying this dossier was an eye-opener for them.
The adults' ideas seem to be wild and wild, but when you really think about it, you find that there is much to be done.
And every item is considered from the perspective of the common people, not for the benefit of those high-ranking officials.
"There are countless businesses in the world. If those wealthy businessmen want to do business, they can do it, but they cannot take advantage of the lifeblood of the people in the world to do business."
"People must have a way to survive, and this means of survival is the most basic rice, flour, grain and oil. Anyone who dares to touch these, the lifeblood of the country, will die!"
Although Li Changan's words were plain, he was filled with murderous intent.
"Let them do whatever they want in restaurants and restaurants. We won't care. Those who can afford it will eat naturally. Those who can't afford it will at least have food to eat and clothing to wear when they go home."
"People can earn money, keep their land, have enough food and wear warm clothes through their own labor. This is the meaning of the existence of the Supply and Marketing Department."
"Anyone who violates this purpose will be completely destroyed and will not be tolerated!"
"The Supply and Marketing Department covers a very wide range and involves huge interests, so there is a special inspection bureau internally. Who dares to reach out to the Supply and Marketing Department to get money and water?"
"The lowest level is to kill the enemy, and the higher level is to confiscate the family and exterminate the entire clan. The three Yi clans... the highest level is to kill the nine clans!"
"You must write this rule into the supply and marketing company's official documents."
…
After the seven people left the study, they realized that they were breaking out in a cold sweat.
Feng Buyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe."
"If our supply and marketing department really wants to do this, we will dig a hole in the sky if we can't keep everything safe."
Song Siren said, "Since your lord has told us to do this, let's just do it. If there is a hole in the sky, your lord will hold it together."
"But it involves too much, right? I shudder just thinking about it." Su Nanyang, who used to work in the Ministry of Punishments, wiped his sweat and lowered his voice.
"This is simply to ban all the trading houses in Jin State, and there are many things involved, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is also involved."
"According to your calculations, the Ministry of Household Affairs will probably have to hand over some of its power."
"I'm just afraid that the adults won't be able to hold on..."
Zeng Shicai, who had been thinking about it all the time, came back to his senses and felt a little overwhelmed. "This matter is too important. Let's sort out the details first according to your Excellency's instructions."
"As for how the big shots above argue and quarrel, it's up to the adults to make the decision."
Ran Boping, who previously served in the Ministry of War, poked the people around him, "Didn't you pay attention? Your Excellency's strength is a bit scary."
"Obviously he didn't deliberately exude a coercive and murderous aura. Just talking made me a little unbearable."
Xue Shiqing couldn't help but sigh, "My lord is still the same lord."
"Although there have been rumors from the outside world that your master's literary skills have not been fully recovered, but whether it is literary skills or martial arts, your master is far beyond our imagination."
"If the Supply and Marketing Department is successfully established and your Excellency takes charge of the Supply and Marketing Department, then, even if he is not as high as the Minister, he will be as high as Zuo Shilang in the imperial court."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, "Yes..."
"This is the opportunity I have been waiting for. If I seize it, I will be able to fly to the sky just around the corner!"
"The supply and marketing department is newly built, all internal official positions are vacant, and there are many opportunities; unlike the six departments, there are carrots and pits. When the top moves, I don't know how long it will take to wait until the year of the monkey and the horse."
…
After Li Changan handed over the matter to his seven men, he was free.
I am going to write down the poems and essays I gave to Annan Zhi yesterday and then give them to Annan Zhi.
Before he even picked up the pen, he frowned slightly, and the regular threads around him were fluctuating rapidly.
Sure enough, the next moment, a figure appeared in the study.
Li Changan put down his brush and saluted respectfully, "Disciple Li Changan has met Mr. Zhao Xian."
Zhao Hongshan's face glowed red and he said with a smile, "No need to be polite, I have brought you a baby."
When he heard that it was a gift, Li Changan's face immediately showed joy. He quickly asked Zhao Hongshan to take a seat, and then served tea with quick hands and feet.
"Good Lord, drink tea."
Zhao Hongshan pointed at Li Changan, smiled and shook his head, "You stinky boy."
As he spoke, he took out a Xumi treasure bag from his arms and threw it to Li Changan.
Li Changan took it in his hand, opened it, and was almost shocked by the treasure inside.
Oh my god, is this too much!?
"Hurry up and take it out. While I'm here, I can tell you how to use it."
Zhao Hongshan was also happy when he saw Li Changan's appearance.
In the past, the academy disciples were as evil as they could be, but old guys like them seemed to have nothing but advantages in cultivation.
Now look at this kid who has never seen the world, which is quite interesting.
Li Changan was the first to take out a long gown as thin as cicada wings.
He is familiar with this treasure. What is it if it is not a gold-threaded garment?
You're welcome, just put it on directly.
The brilliance on the gold-threaded clothes quietly flowed, and then turned into a white-backed gold silk cloud brocade clothes, adding a touch of ethereal aura.
Then he took out a large volume that exuded a faint brilliance.
Zhao Hongshan explained, "This is an overview of the magical powers of the fifth-grade gentleman."
"It records detailed introductions to more than 800 types of Gentleman Realm supernatural powers, as well as methods for getting started."
"But if you want to succeed, you have to rely on yourself. But if I point you in the direction, the follow-up will be much easier."
Li Changan couldn't help but feel happy. This treasure is exactly what he needs now, "Thank you, Mr. Xian."
There are several other items in Xumi's treasure bag that he has never seen before.
"This is the Shanhe Brush. It is said to be a brushstroke for painting mountains and rivers. It is a top-notch literary magic weapon. The power of grammar written with this brush can be increased by 45%."
"This is the Qingfeng Seal. It is a seal condensed from a thousand-foot mountain peak. It is also a top-quality magic weapon, but it is versatile for both civil and military purposes. After activation, as long as they do not escape from the range, not many people below the third level can survive, but it consumes a lot of energy.
big."
"This is a moonlight cup, a half-step spiritual treasure. It is rumored to be the work of a first-level ordinary person. It is tempered by the moonlight in the sky. It can drink the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can be used by both civil and military officials."
…
Li Changan took out the last treasure from the Xumi treasure bag.
Zhao Hongshan said seriously, "The best magic weapon in front of you, the half-step magic weapon, to be honest, it doesn't mean much to you."
"I'll get it for you. You can use it yourself or give it to your relatives."
"But this one is different. I finally invited him out of Wensheng Palace."
The last treasure was just an inconspicuous bronze mirror. Li Changan looked carefully and found that the patterns on it were not as good-looking as the patterns on the bronze mirror that cost ten taels of silver.
It seems to be just two words, simple.
There's nothing special about it except that it's a heavy purchase.
"This is the Flower in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water!" Zhao Hongshan explained, "It is a real spiritual treasure! Only those of third grade and above are qualified to possess it."
"You first shed your blood and confess your master."
Li Changan obeyed, bit off his finger and dripped it on the bronze mirror.
The next moment, the bronze mirror turned into a ray of light and fell into the sea of consciousness.
"This mirror can reflect everything in the world. Although it is an illusion, it can be used to cultivate reality!"
"The first use is to use the spiritual treasure of deduction. The rules of heaven and earth contained in the reflection can be manifested in it until the reflection dissipates."
"Secondly, it is also an offensive and defensive spiritual treasure. It is like a mirror, a flower in the water, and it can naturally turn from real to virtual. Any attack can be turned into a reflection in the mirror for one's own use."
"Both of the above two functions need to be activated by oneself. The power depends on the level of cultivation and civil and military strength. They must be used properly..."
