Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Page 987



Just when everyone thought that Lu Yihao, the oldest deputy prime minister, would become a full-time member, unexpectedly Yu Yunwen appeared.

Yu Yunwen is only 35 years old, and he is young and strong.

On this day, Yu Yunwen presided over the government affairs of the Eastern Mansion in the Political Affairs Hall, and many officials congratulated him.

Wang Boyan said with a smile: "The great minister is selfless, and I admire it. Now people are saying that the great minister will lead us to an unprecedented prosperity."

As soon as the others heard Wang Boyan's words, they quickly followed and started to praise him.

Yu Yunwen asked doubtfully, "Are the people praising me?"

"That's natural, the prime minister has both public morality, otherwise how could he be appointed by the emperor as prime minister?"

Yu Yunwen suddenly said to Hu Yin on the side: "Ming Zhong, you will publish an article in the newspaper tomorrow, saying that Yu Yunwen has been irritable since he was a child, and liked to fight hard. He was once young and frivolous, and made many mistakes in the officialdom. Don't give up, all the officials are praised, fortunately, I have the opportunity to go to the Zhengshitang, and do my best, and I will do my best."

"Okay, I will send it out tomorrow."

When everyone looked at me and looked at you, they knew that Yu Yunwen was self-defiled, and they were afraid that the officials would suspect him.

But Yu Yunwen said: "I am not self-defiled, the officials will not suspect me, and I don't need to use this to make my aspect stable."

Everyone was puzzled, only the other ministers remained silent, knowing that Yu Yunwen wanted to express his opinion on the idea of ​​being an official.

Today, His Majesty has changed from building a tight power structure in the past to promoting Taoism.

The healing techniques in Taoism are reflected in Huang Lao's theory.

But Zhao Ning is still dissatisfied if he simply governs the country with Huang Lao's learning.

What is the study of Huang Lao?

It is still not specific enough, can still be interpreted by various people, and still cannot form effective rules to protect vulnerable groups and maintain public order in the world.

It can be said that Huang Lao's learning is art, but what about tools and methods?

It is still not clear enough, this is what the prime ministers will accomplish next.

Chapter 1512 From Dao magic weapon to state-owned trading company restructuring (second change)

Yu Yunwen knew very well that what Wang Boyan said just now was by no means really flattering or approving him.

And he deliberately created a perfect image in front of everyone.

If so, in the future, if there is a slight mistake in politics, this perfect image will quickly appear cracks.

The more flawless something has a slight crack, the more glaring the crack will be.

Therefore, most people who want to claim to be holiness must continue to play tricks and act all the time. How can they manage government affairs in a realistic manner?

So Yu Yunwen said those words on the spot, telling everyone that I am not perfect, don't give me a halo, and here, doing things well is more important than flattering me.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Qian Yuqing said, "Today's political discussion is about the restructuring of state-owned commercial corporations."

Before the officials at all levels in the East Mansion could react, Qian Yuqing had someone send the detailed text to the officials present.

After everyone read the text, discussions arose in the Political Affairs Hall.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Yu Yunwen continued: "I remember that the government explained a passage about magic weapons in "On Currency". I wonder if you still remember?"

It's quiet around.

Zhao Guanjia has written several books, all of which have strong traces of Taoism.

"It has indeed been written, and it has been written in great detail." Qian Yuqing said, "Whether it is for the country or for individuals, the so-called magic tools of the Tao are indispensable."

"Tao is the law of nature."

"The law is the rule, and the Tao is invisible and ethereal, so a tangible law is needed."

"There is no rule without rules. Small rules are like the rules of the family, then the rules of the court, and finally the rules of the country. The rules of the country are the laws."

"Technology comes down to the methodology at the specific operational level. For example, you know that the market has an invisible hand. This is at the level of Tao. Things at the level of Tao cannot help us eat well, and it can't even let you manage the court well."

"But it is indispensable, because if we don't know that there is an invisible hand in the market, we can't understand the laws of the market, and we can't develop capital and industries."

"We need to know the laws of the market at the level of knowledge, and know what methodologies are available at the technical level to revitalize the market, such as printing money and building roads."

"Laws have to be laid down for the market, and you can't speculate, otherwise the market will fail."

"The so-called Dao spells, all three are indispensable."

"The last and last is the device."

"Uses are tangible tools and intangible containers, such as the birth of cement roads, such as the birth of water-powered spinning machines, and contracts that record business cooperation, and even the body of a business company. Sharpen your weapon first."

Qian Yuqing finished one of the essence of Zhao Guanjia's "On Currency" in one breath, which can be said to explain the magic weapon of Tao simply and clearly.

Yu Yunwen said: "Then this state-run commercial company seems to be a device. Some of these devices are broken now. Why are they broken?"

The people around were even more arguing.

Wang Zonglin said: "It should be the collapse of the law. Some state-owned commercial companies have overstaffed internal personnel, which has caused them to make ends meet. The imperial court spends a lot of money every year to support them."

"Even so, it won't be thrown away." It was Wang Boyan who spoke, "A gentleman is not a weapon, and a gentleman cannot be restrained by tangible things. If a state-owned commercial company has problems making ends meet, it should rectify, reduce personnel, and check internally, rather than directly Throw it to the people."

"Yes, yes!" Immediately, someone jumped out to agree with Wang Boyan's remarks. It was Zhou Botong, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, "If there is a problem, we should solve the problem. You can't just cut off people and things as soon as there is a problem!"

People around immediately began to cater.

Seeing this posture, Yu Yunwen knew that it was not easy to talk about the restructuring of the state-owned commercial company today.

Most of these people are former New Dealers.

They are now the new conservatives.

Qian Yuqing asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, if any appliance in your home is damaged, do you repair it or throw it away?"

"That depends on the value of this tool to the lower officials."

Qian Yuqing asked again: "Then what is the value of this soap shop to the imperial court now?"

Everyone stopped talking.

"A worthless utensil is placed there, and the imperial court spends a huge amount of money every year to provide it. The money is the tax money of the common people, the hard-earned money of the farmers, the money of the small traders who start from the early morning, and the workers' shovels. Shovel after shovel The ones that were shoveled out were weaved by female textile workers stitch by stitch, not by sitting at home drinking 20 Wen a catty of tea!"

"The imperial court wants to abolish these state-owned commercial companies, how to explain to those workers?" Wang Boyan continued, "They all have families behind them. Their children and their parents all rely on them to support them."

"That's right. The imperial court puts the world first. Those workers are ordinary people. They shouldn't be eliminated just like that!" Zhou Botong responded immediately.

"If such savage cuts are made, the vast majority of people will inevitably be laid off and lose money and income. This will be a fatal injury to their families!"

Hu Quan immediately took over the words and said: "Is it a fatal injury to them, or is it a loss of a lot of money for some people!"

"What does Hu Xianggong mean by this?" Wang Boyan looked puzzled.

Hu Quan said mercilessly: "I heard that there are relatives of some officials in the soap shop. Would you like me to report the list!"

As soon as he said this, some officials shut their mouths on the spot.

But Wang Boyan continued: "After all, the relatives of officials are only a few, and the vast majority are ordinary people."

"I didn't say to cut them off." Qian Yuqing said, "I just sold the soap shop of Wensiyuan to private merchants, and let those merchants handle it themselves."

"This is even more unacceptable!" Zhou Botong immediately jumped up, "How can you give the property of the court to others at will!"

"Zhou Langzhong, that's not what you said when the New Deal was implemented." Qian Yuqing smiled.

"Qian Xianggong forgives the crime, and the lower officials are also worried about those people losing their jobs. When I think of them losing their source of income, and the family members have no food and clothing, my heart aches. But now..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Botong even squeezed a few tears down.

"Joke, the soap in the soap shop is expensive and poor now. Is this for the benefit of the people?" Qian Yuqing sneered, "With the tax money, filling the pockets, is it for the benefit of the people? After the business company goes out, can’t they find a job? If some workers can’t find a job, do they have to be supported by the court? Where does the court’s money come from? It’s the tax money paid by the people. What is Taoism? ? To remove the false and keep the true, to keep the good and get rid of the bad, is the Tao!"

"The imperial court takes tax money to build roads and bridges, so that more soap, clothing, and food can be transported to the north faster and benefit more people. Isn't this for the benefit of the people?"

"Those inefficient and backward ones, what's the use of keeping them!"

Chapter 1513 Resistance (first update)

The political hall fell into silence.

Everyone stopped talking, after all, there are three new employees here.

Li Guang, Hu Quan, and Yu Yunwen are also newcomers.

There are three fires for a new official to take office, and no one will really lose their minds and cause trouble.

Next, the Eastern Mansion's order on the restructuring of state-owned commercial companies was first issued to Kaifeng Mansion, and then Kaifeng Mansion issued it to the counties along Gyeonggi Road.

It is not easy to rectify these state-run commercial companies that have been in business for fifteen or sixteen years.

However, as the official policy of the imperial court, the order of the Eastern Mansion was forcibly issued.

The first one to be rectified was the soap shop of Wensiyuan.

The method of rectification is not complicated. A trading company like this does not need to rectify its business model, but only needs to adjust its shares and control rights.

Since many people are here to eat and wait to die, it is extremely tiring to expect to send court officials to check the accounts and supervise them.

If it is changed from state-run to private, private business is responsible for its own profits and losses, and it will definitely be adjusted carefully.

Three days later, on a snowy morning, Wang Shizhe, the chief registrar of the soap shop, hurried to Wensiyuan.

Wang Zonglin, Minister of Taifu Temple, and Qian Yuqing, the consul, were sitting inside drinking tea.

"The next official see Wang Taiwei, see Qian Xianggong."

"Master Wang, sit down and talk."

Wang Shizhe sat down, and Wang Zongling asked someone to give him a document.

On the cover of the document, there is a row of large characters: Wensiyuan Soap Shop's policy of turning state-owned to private.

"Read it."

Wang Shizhe immediately picked it up and read it carefully. After reading it, his face was shocked.

"This……"

Qian Yuqing said: "This is the decision of the imperial court. You should sort out the finance, operation, labor, raw material procurement and other matters of the soap shop. Someone will come to see these soon."

"If so, wouldn't those workers lose their jobs?"

"According to Qian Xianggong's instructions, don't ask more about other things, and don't disclose this matter. If it spreads in advance, you will be asked."

Wang Shizhe's heart trembled, and he replied: "Yes."

After the explanation, Qian Yuqing and Wang Zonglian left.

Wang Zonglin said: "It's not bad to invest in capital, to invest in people, but I still think that certain restrictions should be adopted on acquirers, and one family should not be the only one."

"No need." Qian Yuqing said, "A businessman who owns a soap shop, and a few more cloth shops, how big can he be?"

The two entered the palace all the way to Wende Hall and reported the situation.

The Zhao officials seemed to be busy writing something, and after Wang Zonglin finished reporting, Zhao Ning said: "You can report all these things to Yu Binfu, there is no need to report to me."

"Yes."

When the two of them left the Hall of Wende, Wang Zongyi suddenly said: "Aren't the officials very diligent in government affairs in the past? When Zhao Ding was here, he would always inquire about the court every day. Now that such a big matter, he actually I plan to throw my hands away."

"Always try to let go and give more power to Zai Zhi, just like the imperial court wants to delegate more power to the people." Qian Yuqing smiled and said, "Most of the emperors who ruled the country like Huang Lao, so slow down." Get used to it slowly."

The two walked outside.

Wang Zonglin was still puzzled: "This is not in line with the character of the official."

"Dialectics, read it a few more times."

Wang Zonglin immediately laughed: "I want to sleep after reading that book."

On the night of the 23rd of the first lunar month, Wang Zonglin, who had just finished eating hot pot and fell asleep, was suddenly awakened by his servant.

Wang Zonglin was about to lose his temper when the servant said, "Wang Taiwei, Mr. Qian is waiting for you outside."

"Qian Yuqing?"

"Yes."

"It's so late, what is he doing here!" Wang Zong cursed and got up and got dressed.

Walking to the front hall, seeing Qian Yuqing, he scolded: "You lack a woman in power?"

"No shortage."

"Lack of fine wine?"
