Mo Chuan said: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, Chen Shenzheng participated in the new policies of Hedong Road Bank and various state governments on road construction loans, and promoted the cooperation between private commercial companies, state-owned commercial companies and local yamen, which was very important to repair officials.

The Tao has great merit.”

According to the new configuration of the Chief Secretary's Yamen, Zuo Shenzheng is responsible for managing the first line of finance.

This was also to comply with the imperial court's plan for economic development.

In the past Song Dynasty, the court did encourage business, but there was no perfect system at the financial capital level.

However, financial capital is the catalyst for business.

It is impossible to develop business without standardized financial capital.

The birth of the bank was the beginning of Zhao Ning's business layout.

As a financial control center, the bank is divided into local branches and the head office in the capital.

The main bank has the power to print money, but branches cannot print money.

The power of minting currency has been returned to the capital since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But branches can lend money to trading companies.

By lending out bank money, trading companies are given ample capital to expand production and improve production efficiency.

The trading company will return the principal and interest to the bank through profits in the next few years.

This is one of the classic macroeconomic tools of the 21st century.

Of course, in a sound and complex commercial trading company in the 21st century, there are not only banks as capital, but also private venture capital institutions.

Venture capital institutions are obviously not suitable for the current Song Dynasty, and there is no need to consider it for the time being.

This new set of policies requires the cooperation of various yamen.

So how to bring together various yamen?

Naturally, there is a need for a yamen above each yamen.

This yamen needs to involve the overlap of the administrative and financial lines.

So the position of Zuo Shenzheng appeared.

Its responsibility is to manage the finances of various state government yamen. The financial and banking systems have been deeply integrated. The leftist political participation needs to represent the local government. According to the tasks issued by the court, it negotiates with the yamen of the peer banks and cooperates with the completion of bank lending and local government yamen.

relation.

That's what Mo Chou said just now.

Zhao Ning nodded and said: "Cultivation of official channels is a very important matter for the imperial court. It is not easy for local government agencies to mobilize local state-owned trading companies to cooperate with private trading companies and adjust the lending relationship with banks.

, after all, the imperial court has never allowed so many yamen to participate in and cooperate to do one thing in a short period of time."

"Being able to accomplish this shows that he is a capable official. It will be a great reference for other parties to implement it later."

Chen Zhengxian's heart was filled with joy, and he said: "Your Majesty is a wise man, how can I dare to take credit and be arrogant?"

When everyone saw Zhao Guanjia praising Chen Zhengxian, they felt that some things in the court today were basically settled.

Chen Zhengxian also feels that his political career can finally start to take off.

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?" Zhao Ning asked, "It doesn't matter if you just say it."

"Your Majesty, I want to say that now the gold thieves no longer dare to go south to herd horses, and the Xixia people are huddled in the north of the vast sea, trembling. The great military strength of our Song Dynasty has made everyone in the world fear it. Your Majesty's divine power has broken the courage of all the chiefs."

He boasted first.

Then he changed the topic and said: "However, the national treasury has an end, and the talent has an upper limit. There are too many soldiers in the north today, and the consumption is huge. If the wealth and energy can be used to supplement the people, the country will always be safe, and the world will be peaceful. In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and

Only when the people rest can the rule of Zhenguan be achieved."

Seeing that Zhao Ning mentioned Li Shimin just now, he changed his mind and started mentioning Li Shimin.

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family seemed to have no objection, Chen Zhengxian continued: "People from all over the world seek benevolent government like fish in a river seeking water. If your Majesty wants to have a holy name through the ages, he should think that benevolent government has benefited all people."

Zhao Ning asked: "How to implement benevolent government?"

"Hundred officials guard one area for the emperor's herdsmen. If the superiors and subordinates are harmonious and do not want to kill, then the benevolence and virtue will be in the officials, and the officials' benevolence will show their virtues. This will educate the people and make the customs simple and honest."

What he means is that if you want to have benevolent government among the people, you must first be kind to the officials. Only when the officials feel the kindness will it affect the people. Benevolence and virtue will spread among the people, and the people will naturally become law-abiding.

As soon as the people stay in peace and keep to themselves, the world will be at peace.

This is the benefit of benevolent government.

This is the standard Confucian saying.

It's just that Chen Zhengxian secretly changed the concept.

Confucianism believes that the people should be valued and the emperor should be valued, which means to be kind to the people, to sympathize with and love them.

I didn’t say any bullshit about being nice to officials.

However, Chen Zhengxian mixed in the official level.

On the surface, his focus is on benevolent government, but in fact, his real purpose is to ask Zhao Guanjia to be more benevolent to officials.

The best sophistry in the world is that ten out of ten sentences are true, but if you put it another way, if you change it smoothly, the cause and effect are reversed.

"Only when the people are benevolent can they recuperate and recuperate, the people's power is restored, and the world is at peace. In this way, your majesty's civil and military skills are the best in the ages. This is a sage and wise monarch."

Zhao Ning nodded and said: "Benevolent government and caring for the people will bring peace to the world."

Everyone immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing that Chen Zhengxian's words had moved Zhao Guan's family so much, Luo Ruji and others on the side could no longer hold back.

Luo Ruji stood up and said, "I also have something to say."

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

Luo Ruji had an awe-inspiring look on his face, and said: "In the past few years, gold thieves have invaded the border several times, and evil has been rampant within the country. Your Majesty's holy candle illuminates the world, kills traitors, cuts off the turbidity, and in the clear sky, wipes out the demons and unites the hearts of the people.

Everyone in the world will resist Jin, and no one in the world will be dissatisfied!"

What he said would make any emperor happy.

However, Luo Ruji changed the topic again and said: "However, at one time or another, His Majesty once said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Now that the world has avoided war, gold thieves dare not go south, and the imperial court should restore power to the people.

.”

"I believe that there are two urgent tasks!"

"First, stop killing scholar-bureaucrats and scholars, so that the world's talented people dare to speak out, so that we can jointly govern the world."

"Two, eliminate redundant troops, return the power of border commanders to the court, and stabilize the four sides."

What he said really touched the hearts of some civil servants in the Song Dynasty.

In recent years, haven't there been too many civil servants who have been treated like chickens and ducks and killed?

In recent years, military generals have become so high-spirited that they can independently command thousands of troops. This was absolutely impossible in the past era.

After Luo Ruji said this, other officials quickly followed.

Since this is what people want and what everyone expects, some people naturally want to strike while the iron is hot.

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Luo said makes sense. Killing people is not a long-term solution after all." Wang Ciweng stood up.

He is the Minister of Justice.

He continued: "Killing people cannot stop corruption, and the effect of killing people is minimal. It is better to remove them, then reassign them and let them reflect."
