Chapter 557 Gradually approaching the peak
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Mid September.
As a temporary political alliance, Wang Gongchen and Wang Yun are now temporarily wearing pairs of pants, so Wang Gongchen instigated his former censor to report Sima Guang's various mistakes when he was in Shuzhou, saying that Sima Guang's omissions caused the death of hundreds of innocent civilians in Shuzhou City.
This is the matter of politics. At that time, Sima Guang was wrong but innocent. He also tried his best to remedy the incident after confirming it. But as the magistrate, he was at the scene. In theory, Shuzhou happened, and he could not stop it. Moreover, it also involved his nephew Sima Xiaohua who defected to Xixia.
This incident was handled coldly back then, and did not do anything about Sima Guang. But now there is political need, Wang Gongchen instructed his disciples to turn it out and stir up the cold rice.
Not to mention how Sima Guang could be done, but since someone had revealed it, he temporarily stopped performing his duties and explained it clearly at the Censorate. Ouyang Xiu, the chief censor, did not advocate doing this, but the old Ouyang did not completely represent the Censorate. It was still the truth that the Dashen said at that time. Wang Gongchen was still very capable. When the bureaucratic organization under Ouyang Xiu had to "do things according to the rules", there was no good way for people like Ouyang Xiu who care about reputation.
So with the help of Wang Gongchen and Wang Rong's attack, Han Qi took the opportunity to fire a fire at a court meeting in late September and proposed the move to take over most of the diplomatic power to the Shufu.
What's even more strange is that Zhao Zhen, who has the rare energy to attend a court meeting, supported Han Qi's proposal.
That is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites being castrated as a eunuch. The other business of the Ministry of Rites has not yet moved, but the "diplomacy right" originally belonged to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat was obtained by Han Qi.
Because Sima Guang completely angered Lao Zhao when Fukang cheated. He was at the time when Lao Zhao was most like Long Aotian, and there was a precedent, so Zhao Zhen of course took the opportunity to issue an imperial edict: deprive the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Rites and belonged to the Shufu.
At the same time, the Shufu system was upgraded to half a level, and it was officially on par with the Central Secretariat.
This was a major political reform of the Song Dynasty, which meant that there was no prime minister in the Song Dynasty, or that Han Qi and Fu Bi were both prime ministers in the Song Dynasty at the same time.
This not only represents Zhao Zhen’s dissatisfaction with the subordinates of the Secretariat in his late twilight moments, but also represents a return to the origin. This is a precedent. For example, the diplomatic power of the Liao Kingdom belongs to the Privy Council of the Northern Prefecture. In addition, there was also a period of time in the history of the Song Dynasty, and the diplomatic power belongs to the Privy Council rather than the Ministry of Rites.
To put it bluntly, this is only a business adjustment. During the time when diplomatic power was assigned to the Privy Council, the Secretary of the Central Committee was also the Privy Councilor, and the Privy Councilor was the minister. However, because most of these periods, Ping Zhangshi and Privy Councilor had two positions, the ownership of governing power was not very important.
This kind of thing happens often in the Song Dynasty, and there are too many examples. For example, the Ministry of Works was assigned to the Secretariat and the Secretariat a while ago. For example, the Supreme Court of Dali Temple, the rule of power was added to the Secretariat and the Censorate. Now it is managed by two fathers together.
The same is true for the Qunmusi Department. It belongs to the Secretariat and the Privy Council at the time. It depends on the political needs at that time.
For example, the agricultural outlet belongs to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Independent Institution. In the end, it was simply divided into several pieces, and even the Ministry of War has its own part of the farmland management power.
So now the political overreach of the Song Dynasty has reached a new situation, and the Ministry of Rites is still there, but the governance power has been weakened by the emperor and Han Qi, and diplomatic business has been allocated to the Privy Council. However, Han Qi, a diplomatic person from the Ministry of Rites, just transfer the jurisdiction.
As for this diplomatic jurisdiction, Han Qi has now handed over to Wang Yun, the Privy Council, to the Lord of the Privy Council. Therefore, in terms of law, Wang Yun is now responsible for the diplomatic affairs, but he is in Beijing.
Given that Beijing is also one of the capitals, no one says anything. Anyway, the place where diplomacy is needed in this era must be closest to Beijing.
If it is applied to the habits of the Liao Kingdom, this will become the difference between the Northern and Southern Governments. Of course, Han Qi does not recognize this arrangement. It is only temporary to appoint the Dalian. Han Qi will gradually cooperate with the Ministry of Personnel to select the person he wants, and then form the Privy Council’s own Foreign Affairs Department and appoint a commander.
No matter what, it has no reputation. In fact, the Qianfan Industrial Department and the Ministry of Rites almost knocked out the dog's brain and meant that the Dalian won. The Great Demon King is now really the "Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty". He has mastered the power of the monster, the Industrial Department, and also took over the diplomatic affairs of the Great Song Dynasty by the way.
Given that Wang Rong is a hawkish and warlike guy, he is now starting to take over diplomatic matters. This also means that Lao Zhao has turned to a tougher thinking in his later years.
By the way, the Privy Council was upgraded, and of course the level of Dalian was upgraded to half a level. The salary was generously promoted by the court by half. The reason why the salary was mostly increased was because Han Qi reformed officials and gave a war disability subsidy, because Wang Yun suffered from pneumonia on the Qingtang battlefield and was in poor health, which was considered medical expenses.
As for how much salary is now, the great devil himself doesn’t know, because he has never received any salary since he became an official, and he has never received it in the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue in the Song Dynasty was really backward. It did not open bank accounts and only found cash and physical goods. For example, there were special supplies for cloth, salt, tea and rice every year, and it could not be discounted according to regulations. After two years of accumulation, Dalian was too lazy to collect it. At first, he had to use a few ox carts to pull it, but now he probably had to use a train, so he didn't want to collect it.
Once, the Ministry of Revenue urged him to say that "if you don't go get money, you will have to charge a management fee." However, when he received this painful notice, Wang Rong was crossing the Huangshui River. He had to sigh that the Ministry of Revenue was really creative, so he left it alone. He didn't know if they were really collecting management fees from the Great Devil King now?
These aspects of the Song Dynasty were really backward and would not be flexible. Even during the magistrate, Wang Rong was considered a central commissioner rather than a local official, so the "money and grain relationship" was in the Ministry of Revenue of Bianjing. For example, Funing County was only responsible for the expenses of others and was not responsible for Wang Rong's salary.
Now, Daming Mansion does not pay the Great Devil’s salary, and he has to go to the Ministry of Revenue to get the change. Who has the intention to get the little change? Now Erya’s equity dividend at the Northwest Investment Bank is more than the salary of Prime Minister Wang Anshi.
By the way, at the end of September, Xu Langshan finally got married and got married. After getting married and starting a family, his demand for money became much greater.
The reality is cruel. The income of a project engineer under Xu Langshan is as high as the seventh department of Xu Langshan, the chief executive of the machinery group, Xu Langshan. Lao Xu came to Wang Rong to talk to see if it could increase the income to support the family.
Wang Rong could only lend him some money, but there was no other good way. Wang Rong would not do such a reform, and would not relax this hole for at least twenty years. Lao Xu would not be able to give up the administrative staff.
There are indeed such rules in the next generation. For example, some state-owned enterprises always have administrative departments, but if they have administrative departments, they obviously cannot enjoy corporate treatment. This is a legal issue. As a result, wage inversion will occur, and the income of deputy ministerial-level enterprise leaders is not as good as that of a grassroots salesperson, which is very common during the distribution reform period.
The way to turn things around is very simple: in principle, you can work more and get more, but the purpose of the administrative board is to "serve the people and be a public servant", so you cannot enjoy the treatment of the enterprise in addition to being politically correct or legal. You can also enjoy it, and the dispatch will remain unchanged, but remove the red top and erase the organizational relationship, so that you can distribute it according to the company's rules and the total profit.
In other words, when using the red top for money, there are too many examples in the reform stage in later generations. Dalian’s uncle and the factory manager got more than 1,000 salary this month. After taking the red top next month, the monthly salary will be more than 100,000 yuan, which will be increased by a hundred times in one breath.
Only those who know whether it is reasonable or not, but Wang Rong did not win the favor. Xu Langshan only had two ways: resign and get out of here, or continue to enjoy the treatment of an administrative officer.
It can be foreseen that in the coming period, these will be problems brought about by development, and there will be all kinds of chaos. But it will rain and the mother wants to get married. If there is any problem, it will be solved. This is the political guidance of the great devil: there is no matter once and for all, and there is no always the right policy. Just plan your politics in your position and do your best...
In mid-October, Wang Yun sent Cao Qing, a special envoy who came to Dengzhou to learn about the situation, and Wang Gongchen also sent a reply. Cao Qing and Wang Gongchen's remarks basically confirmed that the incident on the offshore coast of Dengzhou Port that Liu Shengyin sternly stated was true.
So in late October, Wang Yun, who is currently the temporary commander of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Privy Council, officially issued a letter to Goryeo: he would visit the Three Koreans urgently to solve some bilateral problems.
"No matter what, you have to be polite and then soldiers. You should go to Kaijing to get Fujiwara Photoko home."
After several months of dealing with each other, he had several political fights and tug-of-war, and offended the great group. Now Wang Yun is inevitably proud of this letter of diplomacy in the Song Dynasty issued by himself.
He was unable to go on an envoy, so he immediately appointed Cao Qing as a special envoy to go to Beijing, asking to meet Xiao Hui, the chief political officer of the Northern Prefecture, to give gifts to public relations, and asked the Song envoys to cross from Liao to Goryeo.
It was only in early December that Cao Qing brought back the news: Liao Dynasty refused to distribute customs clearance discs and refused to visit the Goryeo envoys from the Liao Dynasty.
The great devil was so dark that he didn't say a word for a long time.
Unfortunately, the time for sanctions on the Liao Kingdom was not yet here. Now the deflationary materials were unsalable and the situation was already serious. The entire Daming Mansion, both state-owned and private enterprises, began to have pills.
Even if prices fall madly and silver appreciates to an extremely unreasonable level, the wealthy Liao merchants from Yanjing who use their chins to look at people must exchange pieces of silver and almost plundered prices for a large number of industrial products and agricultural and pastoral products from Daming Prefecture.
Now Wang Yun, a bulk transaction, personally took charge of each transaction, and personally led the tax police to supervise it. Looking at the pieces of bloody silver, I sighed in my heart: those silver is the protection fee of the Chanyuan that the Song Dynasty paid tribute every year, and it is also the silver transported by the Fujiwara family to Goryeo. Each transaction is bloody!
But there is no way. Even the great devil is now pinched by the Liao people. This batch of manufacturing industries is the spark of the Song Dynasty, and they cannot die of deflation. No matter how cheap they are, they must be sold.
The Great Demon King has issued instructions: to understand more during special periods, and to tighten the belt to overcome difficulties. However, no matter what the situation is, no factory is allowed to stop production, no worker is allowed to be unemployed, and no equipment is allowed to be wasted.
No matter how low the price is, it will be sold to the Liao Kingdom, and you will sell whatever you want.
The loss will be provided by Damingfu for export subsidies. Designed products include but are not limited to: soybeans, pork, chicken, eggs, and some civil and daily necessities.
Unsubsidized projects: flintlock gun, gunpowder, Shenwu run, machine tools, steam engines.
Such things are unique because they are all monopoly on the Song Dynasty. Therefore, although in principle, they are also affected by deflation, they can continue to make profits without subsidies.
The subsidy funds come from the iron bonds issued a while ago, as well as the feedback from the monopoly profits of the Industrial Corporation.
How much damage is caused by this crisis? There is no good evaluation method yet and it cannot be counted. However, the most conservative estimate of this lost productivity can be converted into thirty naval frigates.
So now, in the face of all difficulties, in addition to endurance, it has also strengthened the idea that Dalian should purchase equipment and form a navy.
I endure...
The First Railway Engineering Bureau and the First Water Conservancy Engineering Bureau have been rushing to work, but the Damingfu to Dengzhou section of the railway is still half a month later than the expected opening time.
The original plan was to open to traffic in December of the fifth year of Jiayou, but it took a lot of money to rush to work in the severe cold, and it was only after Yu Jiayou's acceptance in early January of the sixth year of Jiayou.
Just do it, and the great devil still encouraged and commended them. Then he boarded the freight train for his maiden voyage and headed to Dengzhou quickly.
This is because the Liao Kingdom did not rely on the road, and the Song Dynasty and Goryeo did not border the land, so the Dalian mission had to take a boat in Dengzhou...
