Chapter 305 power in hand

  Chapter 305 Power in hand

  Taiping Mansion gathered in the courtroom of the government office.

  Zhang Anshi directly circulated the newly released will.

  Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

   “Grandpa, isn’t this the same as Kaifuyi Tong Sansi?” Li Zhaomo said dumbfounded.

  The so-called Kaifu is actually understandable, and the third division of Yitong is actually giving the treatment of Sangong.

  The reason why Yitong Sansi is essentially that during the Han Dynasty, Sangong was the real Sangong.

  They are veritable prime ministers, who have the power to decide the promotion of officials and directly handle government affairs.

   There are even many people who work directly in their own mansions.

   “No.” Gao Xiang immediately interrupted: “This opening of the mansion is not for the father-in-law.”

  He paused, and then said: “It is clear that all the officials fought for the Ningguo Mansion, and the Lord just went to make up the number.”

  When Gao Xiang said this, some people came to their senses.

  That’s right, this matter… can’t be said that Duke Wei got the privilege of opening a mansion.

  Anyway, it was Jian Yi’s joint efforts to kill him, and it seems that the fact is the same. As for our father-in-law, didn’t he just hit the muzzle of the gun?

  So Li Zhaomo said: “My lord, I think it’s better to resign at the top. I don’t care what Mr. Jian thinks, but I still want to resign to show my heart.”

  Zhang Anshi actually couldn’t understand this operation, logically speaking…he didn’t have such a request.

  As for Jian Yi clamoring for this?

   Well, Zhang Anshi couldn’t understand Jian Yi’s inner world, but Mr. Jian Yao joined forces with all the officials to make a fuss. To be honest, he is very courageous and seems to be a ruthless person.

  Zhang Anshi said: “It’s fine to decline, who doesn’t know me, Zhang Anshi.”

  Paused, Zhang Anshi said: “What’s more, Your Majesty is wise, you have always understood me, and you can’t be hypocritical.”

  Everyone: “…”

Zhao Tuiguan thought for a while, and then said: “Actually, what the Lord said is correct. Lord Jian dares to accept it, and the Lord has nothing to do with it. Besides, so many ministers suddenly came up to play, and we are officials ourselves. Don’t you know? Is there any way here? Among these people, they have not been instructed, so how could they fight for this for Mr. Jian? After all, Mr. Jian seems fair and strict, but in my opinion, I’m afraid… it is not worthy of the name and has selfish intentions.”

  Everyone nodded.

  Yeah, judging from various operations, it must be Jian Yi’s hand. Anyway, first of all, their father-in-law can be eliminated. It’s not that the father-in-law doesn’t have the heart, but he doesn’t have the ability.

  Being able to mobilize all officials to submit a petition, and to pass it overwhelmingly in the court meeting, is this something the Duke can do?

Zhao Tuiguan continued: “Your Majesty wanted to come, but he had no choice but to give Mr. Jian such great power. For the sake of a bowl of water and to balance Mr. Jian, this is why our lord made up this amount. According to me Look, Mr. Jian is the main wife, and our father-in-law is at most a dowry girl.”

   Such an analysis is quite reasonable, everyone was relieved, and said one after another: “Yes, yes, it seems to be so.”

  Zhang Anshi’s face was fluctuating, and he coughed: “Don’t talk about all these things, what kind of dowry girl, what kind of wife, above the court, what does it look like!”

Gao Xiang stood up with a smile, and then reprimanded everyone: “Everyone be quiet, be quiet, listen to the father-in-law’s order, the old man will start the scene first, and everyone has seen the news now. Since His Majesty trusts you, why don’t we do our best?” ? The meaning of the Lord is that we are deeply favored by the emperor, so we should go all out, so that we can do our best, and if we die, we will not be in vain of His Majesty’s kindness.”

  Zhang Anshidao: “Yes, that’s what it means. Remember kindness.”

  Everyone became serious: “What the Lord said is true.”

  Zhang Anshi said: “Since this is the case, we can’t waste His Majesty’s trust. This blow to the White Lotus Sect will go deeper. It can no longer be superficial like before.”

  Gao Xiang immediately said: “Yes, the White Lotus Sect is becoming more and more secretive now, and it cannot be indulged in this way. The father-in-law’s further words are too good.”

  Everyone nodded.

Zhang Anshidao: “So now, we need to do three things first. First, the industry and commerce can no longer be like before, that is, free-range farming is not allowed. In my opinion, Qixia and the three counties should set up an industrial park. Peacefully level the land and build all the facilities. All the merchants and workshops that have settled in can be given some tax relief. The counties will also send a group of smart and capable people. In this park, set up a county magistrate. The office is dedicated to supervising these matters.”

  Gao Xiang and the others listened and began to chew.

  They are already used to the fast-paced working methods in the government. After everyone meets to discuss the matter, they will find the person in charge, and finally push forward the work.

  Gao Xiang can probably understand Zhang Anshi’s intentions, but he can’t seem to understand, but to pretend that he doesn’t understand.

   So Gao Xiang said: “Is there any deep meaning in this move, my lord?”

Zhang Anshi was waiting for Gao Xiang to take over, and said at this time: “There are a few advantages, that is, if the workshops are scattered everywhere, on the one hand, there may be some conflicts with each township, and these conflicts will breed. It is not easy for officials to mediate. If they gather in one place, things will be much easier to handle. The second is the issue of management. Some of the officials in each township are only good at agriculture, and some are only good at local conditions. I have a good understanding, but I don’t have enough understanding of workshops and business, so it’s not easy to communicate and manage.”

“When it comes to the industrial park, it’s easy to handle. Let’s train a group of people to deal with workshops and merchants full-time. The government’s intentions for industry and commerce, the collection of taxes, this part, they are full-time, of course. It is also familiar with it. It will be convenient to collect taxes in the future, and what happens to merchants and workshops can also be responded to in a timely manner.”

Zhang Anshi continued: “What’s more, workshops are gathered together, roads, canals, bridges, and other facilities that facilitate trade and production are built, and money is saved. If not, one workshop here, one workshop there, is it possible that one Do you want to build roads and dredge canals for them? How much manpower and material resources will it cost?”

  After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.

Zhang Anshi said: “However, the most important thing is to deploy a group of capable officials to these places, so that these people should be full of energy, have a wink, and act decisively. I will finalize the decision with Gao Shaoyin, Li Zhaomo and Zhao Tuiguan. The chief officer of this department store is also the department merchant, and it is designated as Cong Qipin.”

  As soon as they obeyed the seventh rank, many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Wuhu County Magistrate Zhou Zhan took the lead and said: “Is the seventh rank too high? Ordinary treasurers and ministers… are just ninth rank or second rank.”

  Zhang Anshi said: “We still need to set a higher level, if not… many things are not easy to coordinate, and things cannot be pushed forward.”

   Everyone was speechless.

Gao Xiang said: “Actually, the father-in-law did this as a last resort. Everyone should be considerate. Not to mention other things, our commercial tax this year has collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and there will be more in the coming year, occupying our More than half of the government’s expenditure, it can be seen that this is the most important thing. The meaning of Yu Cong Qipin lies in this. There are too many affairs involved in industry and commerce, and docks, roads, and land need to be considered. It is inconvenient for the various government offices to negotiate.”

  Zhang An Shidao: “What Gao Shaoyin said is what I mean.”

  Gao Xiang blushed and said: “Then according to the officials, there must be a person in our government office who is responsible for supervising the business affairs.”

  Zhang Anshi pondered and said: “Let’s discuss this later. I’ll think it over and over again. I’ll take care of this matter for the time being.”

   Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi said again: “In addition, the government government also needs to build an engineering college.”

   Someone couldn’t help but asked in surprise: “Engineering College?”

Zhang Anshi said with a serious expression: “Yes, the one who imitated Guozixue hired teachers, doctors, teaching assistants, and doctors and teaching assistants of various subjects to pay salaries. In my opinion, the head teacher of this school should be determined. It is the fourth rank, the doctor of the college is the fifth rank, and the teaching assistant is the sixth rank. There are also doctors in various subjects, such as alchemy, smelting, machinery, and medicine. They are the seventh rank, and the assistants are the eighth rank. The lecturer is the ninth grade.”

   “In a word, give a salary, and at the same time… serve as a consultant in the government office. In the future, the government office can ask for advice when it comes to engineering and academic affairs. Not only that, if they have any ideas, they can also apply for money and grain to give them some support.”

   All of a sudden, Gao Xiang, whose face was full of red, was also a little confused.

  This… the treatment is too grand, the highest is actually the fourth rank, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks are even more black hats flying all over the sky.

  Although he knew that this was just for an official status and a treatment, it was really too scary.

   “This…” Gao Xiang finally couldn’t help but said, “Is the treatment too generous?”

  Zhang Anshi said calmly: “It’s okay, it’s not easier for them to learn than it is for us to govern the people. I discussed this matter with His Majesty, and His Majesty did not object.”

Zhang Anshi said again: “This is called a great reward. There must be a brave man. You must teach people that to do real learning, you can not only earn money, but also have an official status. Some people may think it is not right, but think about it, just smelting, the same For a furnace of steel, there was an ingenious craftsman who improved the furnace and saved us more than 100 catties of coal for each furnace of steel. How much coal can be saved in dozens of furnaces in one day? How much is it? If you are stingy when it comes to giving rewards, who is willing to bother?”

“I heard that there are many idle scholars in Qixia. What about them…there is no hope in the imperial examination, but they have high eyes and low hands, and they idle around every day. I just want to teach these people to know that in our Qixia, no, in Taiping Mansion, I don’t care if they are scholars or peasants. It’s still business and industry, whoever has made contributions to our Taiping Mansion is superior, if not…no matter how many books you have read in your daily life, and what articles you can write, then squat aside for me, don’t be an eyesore. ”

Gao Xiang and the others pondered for a while, thought for a while, and said: “The things that the grandfather did before, at first the subordinate officials didn’t understand, but later they realized the magic. If you want to come to this engineering college, it’s probably the same. I have an idea, the officials will go and try it out.”

Zhang Anshidao: “Of course, it’s not all at once to ask someone to be the head teacher, doctorate, and teaching assistant. First, select some lecturers and teaching assistants from various subjects. These are all eight or nine grades. If you make great contributions in the future Yes, or someone who is more academically advanced will be promoted.”

   “What’s more, the imperial court gives officials salaries, and they are allowed to bow to each other without worshiping officials on weekdays, but after all, they don’t allow them to hold any power. They just teach them to teach some students and cultivate some talents for us.”

   Everyone was naturally speechless.

   It’s not that everyone is begging for perfection and obeying Zhang Anshi’s arrangement in everything.

  In fact, these people are all officials, and they all know that the Taiping Mansion is good or bad, which is related to their wealth and life.

  If the Taiping Mansion is thriving, they will surely rise in the future, but if something goes wrong in the Taiping Mansion, they will not only be doomed, but will also be infamous forever.

  In fact, they have been stigmatized for thousands of years. Among the scholars, everyone may only say a word to Zhang Anshi as a lucky minister. It is probably the treatment of Wei Qing in the Han Dynasty. Everyone admits that you, Zhang Anshi, are really good, but didn’t you start your career with the emperor’s relatives?

  But for people like Gao Xiang, the scholars of Shilin are all gnashing their teeth, wishing to eat their flesh raw.

  After all, if Zhang Anshi is a heretic, then Gao Xiang and others are heretics, scum and traitors among scholars.

If you really feel that something is inappropriate, everyone dares to expose it, not to mention Zhang Anshi’s temperament, if you are not single-minded, he will definitely punish you to death, but if you are single-minded and do things with all your heart, even if there are doubts, even if Zhang Anshi is anxious He slaps the table, but he will never retaliate.

   Now everyone has a very thorough understanding of the nature of the father-in-law.

Zhang Anshi said: “There is one more thing. Of course, this is just a trivial matter. It is to clean up the markets and commercial streets everywhere. Of course, it is not to teach people to disturb the businesses, but to clean up the streets. A few days ago, I saw Qixia’s The market is full of sewage and garbage is flying all over the place. There is a lot of people there, but it can’t be like this. This matter needs to be supervised, and it must be spotless. After some time, the Shaoyin Hall will send people to check.”

  After roughly finalizing some matters, Zhang Anshi adjourned the meeting.

  Everyone has written down what Zhang Anshi said, and if it involves their own responsibilities, they immediately go back to the office to hand it over.

  As for the candidates for the business department of the Three Counties Industrial Park.

  In fact, Zhang Anshi already had a draft.

  The next day, three people appeared in front of Zhang Anshi.

  They looked haggard and looked a little tired, and saluted Zhang Anshi very ashamedly.

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile: “Well, I heard that the paper-making workshop has improved.”

  These three people were Kuang Ye, Wang Wenlue and Zhang Youcheng who were thrown into the papermaking workshop by Zhang Anshi back then.

   Kuang Ye smiled wryly: “It’s ashamed to say, although there are some small profits, they are barely supported.”

   “What’s the reason?” Zhang Anshi stared at him.

Kuang Ye said: “There are three reasons. The first is the scale. The demand for paper is indeed high in the market now, but some workshops have begun to increase the scale. The increase in scale has allowed them to share the cost evenly. The price is relatively high. We have an advantage.”

   “Why do you want to expand production?”

   “We were already at a loss at the beginning, but it was my father-in-law who made a hole for us. I was afraid that we would expand production. If we lose money by then, I will be sorry for my father-in-law.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: “I don’t think it’s just this reason, even if there is no such thing, you don’t have the courage to really take money to expand the scale, after all…it involves your own wealth and life, so many people still I will choose to get rich and settle down, only the decisive or ambitious people are willing to put all their eggs in one basket.”

   “What the Lord said is true.”

  Zhang Anshi said again: “Any other reasons?”

   “There is also too much flow of craftsmen, and now there is a shortage of labor, and things like digging craftsmen happen from time to time.”

  Zhang Anshi said: “What else?”

“Insufficient promotion.” Wang Wenlue said from the side: “It’s my fault. I am responsible for going out to negotiate business with people. Most of them are regular customers, and these regular customers are very cunning. They often deliberately invite students and others. People from a paper mill go to discuss business together, and we must keep the price of the paper mill down to the lowest.”

  Zhang Anshi laughed and said: “It seems that you still can’t lose your face!”

  The three of them were ashamed.

  Zhang Anshi said: “From tomorrow on, you don’t have to manage the paper workshop anymore.”

   “This…” The three of them were taken aback, a little bit reluctant.

  To be honest, it was hard to straighten out the matter of Zhifang and wanted to get rid of the shame. After a year of operation, I still have some feelings.

   “Do you know that Taiping Prefecture collects business tax?”

   Kuang Ye said: “How could you not know!”

  Zhang Anshidao: “What do you think?”

   “The interests of industry and commerce are so great, how can there be no reason not to levy taxes?”

Zhang Anshi said: “Yes, the industrial and commercial tax, in the future… must be the pillar of my Daming, but my Daming… where can I find a way to communicate with merchants, understand the habits of merchants, deal with them, and understand their difficulties? People who know their cunning nature well. And these people need upright people who will never go with them. Difficult, difficult…”

  The three of Kuang Ye are fools, and they actually understand what it means.

  At this time, Kuang Ye seemed to understand something. When he confronted Zhang Anshi back then, perhaps Zhang Anshi did not blame them from the beginning, but admired their integrity.

  That’s why I arranged for them to go to the paper mill. The essence is to let the three of them get in touch with industry and commerce. It turns out…

  If this is the case, then this Wei Guogong is too scary.

Zhang Anshi smiled again and said: “You should know the business tax situation this year, and its proportion will increase in the future. Taiping Mansion is to set an example for the whole world. This is the first of its kind to levy business tax. , It started from the Taiping Mansion, and it has been promoted throughout the world. In the future, the taxation of industry and commerce will become the pillar of the imperial court, so the imperial court must pay attention to industry and commerce.

“Therefore, Taiping Mansion is in urgent need of talents who understand business and industry. After thinking about it, I thought of you. Now the three counties of Wuhu are going to build an industrial and commercial park, set up three business offices, and these three chief officials, In fact, the official position is not high, but it is only from the seventh rank. To you back then, it was really inconspicuous. But this matter is of great importance, and I don’t feel relieved to leave it to other people. Moreover… these three people are needed. In the future, I can rely on these three people The three industrial and commercial parks have cultivated a group of capable civil servants, if you are interested, I can give you an order.”

   Kuang Ye and the three looked at each other.

  Zhang Anshi said: “Why, dare not?”

  Wang Wenlue smiled bitterly and said, “Why bother to use such a clumsy aggressive method.”

Zhang Anshi was taken aback, and then hurriedly said solemnly: “I’m so sorry, I’m used to lying to my children. Ahem…I’d like to ask you three to let go of the past with me and do something for the soldiers and civilians of the Taiping Mansion together. Bar.”

  In fact, the three of Wang Wenlue, who were able to win Jinshi, have already proved that their IQs are far superior to ordinary people. After experiencing the operation of the paper mill, I became more aware of the people’s sentiments and the business situation.

  They probably felt vaguely that Taiping Mansion had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes under Zhang Anshi’s governance.

   At this time, there was no enmity between each other, Zhang Anshi also sincerely invited, Wang Wenlue took the lead and said: “The students are willing to obey.”

   After Kuang Ye and Zhang Youcheng looked at each other, they also cupped their fists and said, “I would like to offer encouragement.”

“It’s so good.” Zhang Anshi was overjoyed, and said cheerfully, “I can rest assured in this way, haha…You guys take a break for a few days, and you will take up the post after a few days. At the beginning, the conditions may not be very good, but… Just bear with it, and you’ll get better slowly. That’s right, let’s have a light meal here at noon, I still have a lot to explain.”

  …

   “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law… Where do we learn from?”

  Zhang Anshidao: “Learn slowly. All in all, it’s very interesting. Don’t be too happy when the time comes.”

  Duke Xu Jingchang was even more excited.

  The dozens of teenagers in the back are also gearing up one by one.

   They arrived at this mysterious workshop, where there are high walls and guards everywhere.

  Xu Jingchang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he was looking forward to what shoppingmode sharp things would be behind the high wall.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi said: “I don’t allow other people to come to this place on weekdays. Only my own family members are the only ones I am willing to let in. If not, if something is leaked, I will suffer.”

   “Brother-in-law… don’t worry, we are all loyal people.”

   “I know that you are loyal.” Zhang Anshi arrived in front of the door and pointed: “Let’s go, please go first.”

  Xu Jingchang and others couldn’t bear it any longer, and rushed in in a swarm.

   Inside… Dozens of craftsmen, at this moment, looked at the young man who rushed in.

   And then…the door slams shut.

   Soon, Xu Jingchang yelled mournfully: “Brother-in-law…what’s the matter, what’s the matter?”

Zhang Anshi was outside the high wall, looking at the speechless guards in front of the door, and explained: “No entry or exit is allowed, you can come out for three months, show me strict, tell the master inside, if you want to fight, you should fight. If you scold, scold them, don’t be polite to them! These brats are not good people on weekdays, they are idle, they should be cured long ago, if they don’t learn well, I will deal with them.”

   “Here.”
