Chapter 229 The Crying Child
"I am waiting for you to explain clearly, otherwise I will not only not have a penny, but now I will introduce you to Lao Han, the prison guard in Beijing, and ask him to invite you to have tea. What do you think?" Zhang Fangping said.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Wang Rong quickly shook his hand: "The reason why Xiaguan planned to buy the labor and equipment of the coal yard is because at present they can provide the construction services needed by Funing County, not to enrich his personal pockets. Although the coal yard needs to make money and make profits, this is a win-win measure. Only after the coal yard continues to make profits can I continue to increase investment in technology research and development and talent training. Building in this initial form, my money has been used up. Mingfu you know how important the coal yard is now. If there is no sufficient profit and order, not only will the business in the northwest not be able to be done, but it will also lay many hidden dangers for the future development of the Song Dynasty, and at least take many detours for many years."
"Fan Xiang also repelled Li Yuanhao back then and made great contributions in the northwest. The real reason for his demotion was the secondary cause of his war. The biggest problem was that he spent too much money and was inefficient when the finances were already extremely tight. In order to build a city, he oversubstantiated labor and caused great public grievances and contradictions. This is the reason. But my method is completely different from him. I have my own set of experience in the gathering of people's hearts and the guidance of the people. In addition, the most important thing is that I have the technology. Now many equipment research and development in the coal yard have entered the outbreak stage. Just waiting for more funds to enter, it can trigger the explosion of some simple equipment, the application of equipment, and the activation of professional talents. Just like my honeycomb coal, it will greatly improve the efficiency of construction."
"In other words, as long as the funds are guided in, I don't need to attract much hatred among the people in the northwest, and I don't need to spend too much people's efforts to build the city in Funing County. At the same time, I continue to provide a steady stream of funds for the equipment development and the cultivation of the craftsman team. This will be a snowball effect in the later stage."
After hearing this, Zhang Fangping also heard a lot of feelings and took a sip of the tea ceremony: "It seems a bit interesting, and then I will say."
Wang Rong continued: "It sounds exaggerated now. A county in the northwest of my country asked for so much finance. But the officials believed that this was inevitable. The northwest had already been barren for thousands of miles, and the people and vendors were constantly evacuating the big pit, and the people's livelihood economy fell into a state of rapid decline. Therefore, there was almost no people's livelihood in Shaanxi, and the government's finances were completely used to support the military deployment expenditure of the Song Dynasty in the northwest. In this way, I could not support myself and could not give up, and the northwest became a useless person. In the long run, there would be no intervention of civil and commercial enterprises, and only military and smuggling groups could survive there, which would further kill the economic vitality of our Song Dynasty. The remaining people who could not leave would be burdened with heavier, and they would have no cohesion. This is a vicious cycle."
"Doing things must have a price. To break this barrier, there must be a ruthless person who dares to do things. Now I am this person, but I need a lot of money to break the inherent circle of interests in order to accomplish things. After all, everything in the world is actually a matter of money."
After hearing this again, although Wang Rong was still talking about slogans without specific details, Zhang Fangping was the Prime Minister in charge of economy after all. He had already heard the trick and couldn't help but frown and get up, and paced up above.
After a while, Zhang Fangping stopped and said word by word: "I listened to you, you are going to touch the interests of some people again. As you look, you are not a child and your wings are not hard. You are getting left and right, and you are already approaching Fan Zhongyan's way? Do you know how big a fuss Fan Zhongyan, who was ambitious back then, caused in Shaanxi and how big a rebound?"
Wang Rong said: "Mingfu, there are still some differences in the paths between Mr. Fan and me. Mr. Fan is famous, has a high influence, has a high position, and has a wide range of areas. Of course, there are more people involved, and more people are staring at him. Moreover, the huge resistance faced by Mr. Fan is an important sign that he did not introduce funds similar to Ye Qinghua. Old Fan plans to eat alone instead of the imperial court, and the boy has always disliked eating alone."
Zhang Fangping was stunned again, sat down and began to think about it.
To be honest, this kid would have to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is an astronomical figure for a county, but assuming that the prodigy is trustworthy, hundreds of thousands of dollars are not a big money for the court. Since Ye Qinghua, a cunning businessman, dares to be optimistic about investment, Lao Zhang dares to do so.
As for the money that will be used to purchase equipment and team labor in coal yards, Lao Zhang is even more worried. Although it will cause criticism and impeachment from the censors at a certain period, as long as the coal yard economic circle continues to expand and provide sufficient profits and taxes, it will withstand the harassment of the Censorate.
This kid is right. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of money. Although he and Cao Ji will make money, the expansion of business will lead to the expansion of coal yard production, increase employment, and promote economic, profit and tax accounting. In the long run, the court will definitely not lose money.
So the only problem is the political issue.
This boy kept saying that he was different from Fan Zhongyan. However, based on Lao Zhang's understanding of his urinary nature, his personality would definitely cause trouble in the northwest. He might have a different way from Fan Zhongyan. But Zhang Fangping had a premonition that this guy is evasive here now. When he goes there, the emperor is far away, it is hard to say that he can really make a mess that is bigger than Fan Zhongyan.
That's it, Zhang Fangping carried the tea bowl but didn't drink it, and he was always weighing the trade-offs.
"Mingfu, now June 20th, many things are imminent. This time, I put my head on my waist and went to the northwest to open up wasteland. I have even prepared such a feat. Men must always fight hard and have risks to accomplish things. Whether it is OK or not, just wait for a sentence from the Mingfu. If the court does not support and does not place heavy bets, it will affect the policy of the officials in the northwest, because this is the same as the capital market. If the court does not spend money to increase the amount, I will not see the determination of the court. Since the court is not determined and the court is ready to stop losses and retreat at any time, then no one is a fool. I really dare not put Ye Qinghua's money in it, and I will not dare to take them to do things with the people under the control of the people." Wang Rong said last.
Zhang Fangping said: "Don't urge you, your peeing nature is good, but you may be surrounded by everyone. The northwest land faces Xixia, bitterness is hardship, but why don't you tell me the court to stop the loss? Stop it, this is slander. I haven't done my job well, so I admit this. But every inch of land there is the territory of the Song Dynasty. Do you know how much military expenditure the imperial court spends every year? The hundreds of thousands of dollars you need in Funing County are just a drop in the bucket compared to the military expenditure in Shaanxi, and you still stop the loss. With such a large investment and such a great determination, you can't see the great determination? How dare you say that the imperial court has no determination and plans to threaten the people without determination?"
Speaking of this, Lao Zhang walked down and slapped the little kid in the back of his head, scolding: "Will your conscience hurt when you say this? Are you serious about the conditions with the court on this issue?"
Wang Rong covered the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Shan, I just said it casually. It's not the real meaning. I'm still young. If you say something wrong, you don't need to be so serious, right?"
Zhang Fangping turned around and said: "I have heard that you are planning to take away Hutou Camp. Do you honestly explain what you want to do and how many people are going to kill in Funing County?"
Wang Rong tilted his head and quibbled: "I didn't plan to kill anyone. I have become a good person for a long time and don't like to mess around."
After continuing to talk around for a long time, Zhang Fangping still didn't know the ideas and details of the bad boy's rule over there. In short, he just didn't say it. Lao Zhang was a little worried about this, knowing that he would definitely cause trouble and there would be something wrong, but now he just couldn't know where the problem would be.
Money is not a problem. Ye Qinghua dares to invest in Zhang Fangping. Besides, this kid has never disappointed me. At that time, he revealed the dark side of Huaixi. Although he had eaten a lot of money by him, the court also seized a lot and bought a copper mine with good reserves, and blocked many black holes at the same time.
Even if we only talk about things nearby and listen to Wang Rong's suggestions and strategies, we have made great profits in recent operations involving the coal warrant market, which has been more than one million.
The only thing Zhang Fangping is worried about is the details of his kid's future governance and the political risks it brings.
During this period, the Sansi specially allocated so much money to a Xia County, which almost represents the policy and path changes in the northwest of the Sansi, and is an obvious political vane. There will be many butterfly effects. It is very likely to be used by this kid, which is called political kidnapping.
For example, Wang Yun would probably treat the appropriation of the three departments as the political statement of the court, and he would mess up the overall economic policy of the three departments in the northwest. If this is true, then it would be popular. The current economic policy only barely withstands the military expenditure of the Song Dynasty in Shaanxi and has achieved barely balanced. If there are other variables, it would really collapse.
This is the difficulty of Zhang Fangping. In the years of his reign, Zhang knew very well that he had to be careful in doing things at the center of the court. Just like shooting, he might just deviate from a few hairs at the source, but when the arrows only shot and flew to the exhaustion of kinetic energy, the deviation would be very outrageous.
The style of the Song Dynasty and the thoughts of literati were too much thought. The little things of the imperial court would be over-interpreted and amplified by those guys, which could never be avoided in the Song Dynasty. This is the support of the conservatives in the Song Dynasty who do not like to do things, and it is also the reason why the Song Dynasty advocated the idea of "inaction", because it was indeed a little bit of correction and statement, and finally, after the world fermented, it would be over-corrected.
After hesitating, Zhang Fangping had basically agreed, but he still had to make a superficial gesture and waved his hand: "I know what you said, but this is not a trivial matter. You have to consider it. Don't block the door here and go back and wait for the news."
Wang Rong said: "The situation in the northwest is in crisis. You won't be able to sink into the sea after waiting. Is there no news?"
Zhang Fangping deliberately said, "Even if the stones sink into the sea, it is normal. When you grow up and have enough sedimentation in the future, you will know that at the level of the court, no day is particularly important, and no year is particularly important. In the same two thousand counties, no county is particularly special. It has been ups and downs for many years, and has suffered and missed it. But the Song Dynasty has also come over and continues to move forward. This is the politics of the Song Dynasty, this is the consistent statement of the court. Do you understand?"
Lao Zhang is telling the truth, and it is a summary of his political wisdom throughout his life. At the national level, there is really no particularly important statement in any year, and even governance is feasible. In terms of the degree of pursuit, countries sometimes compare not who is more powerful, but who makes fewer mistakes and who makes fewer tricks, who are more likely to win in the marathon tug-of-war.
But despite the mentality of Jie Lao Zhang and the court, Wang Rong was still angry because he had encountered too many walls recently, so he had to wait again, always waiting.
These things, if you don’t block the door and petition, you will be really dead. Children who are promising will always have some milk...
