I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 763 Discussion on Water Transport in Bianliang

Tao Niang was very happy, at least the son expressed his father's intentions more thoughtfully than she thought.

Tao Niang also had doubts about what her son was wondering about.

It seems that only the imperial court benefits from operating this matter in this way. Why do merchants compete for the right to operate the waterway?
"First of all, no one is worried about losing money after obtaining the waterway management right, especially those people and forces who are familiar with the shipping business."

"The reason why I feel that the court has benefited is because the court should have benefited, but it was consumed by the entire water transport office. The so-called profit of the court actually comes from the cost of supporting the water transport office..."

"As for those who compete for waterway management rights, with the increase in the types of industries in the country, industrial development will promote the frequency of barter, and the increase in transportation volume is obvious."

"Another important point is that when you think about problems, you are influenced by what! For merchants, they first consider profits, and the right to operate waterways is profitable, which is enough for merchants."

"For the local state capitals, because the water transport is an independent government, the local state capitals have no enthusiasm for management, because it is thankless. With the reform of the water transport government, the local state capitals have certain rights and benefits to the waterway... "

"At the same time, consider it from the perspective of the imperial court...~As you said and analyzed. This is because each has its own demands, and will be swayed by the demands..."

There are still some deep-seated content, Zhao Xi did not continue to talk about it.What you realize is your own.

The son is going to be a king, and he has some ideas. Zhao Xi hopes that the son can see it and experience it by himself, instead of such a complete teaching.

Water transport yamen, mixed forces, local state capitals, courtiers, etc., as a king, we need to look at them from a different height...

"Daddy, is it true that only by staying out of the way can we truly see the whole picture of the incident?"

Zhao Xi is really satisfied that the prince has such an understanding.

"Son, the emperor's art, when you were studying, was taught by a great Confucian. The herdsman's way, when you experienced it, you realized it yourself."

"What Daddy wants to tell you is exactly what you understood just now. Only by staying out of it can you see the whole picture."

"The courtiers belong to the Great Song Dynasty, the merchants belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and the people also belong to the Great Song Dynasty. And what is the court? The court belongs to the Great Song Dynasty. As a king, the position is to make all the elements that make up the Great Song Dynasty as possible as possible. able to obtain under his own administration..."

For the growth of the prince, except for the instructive education in childhood, Zhao Xi didn't pay much attention to it.This time, it was the only time his son taught after he became an adult.

……

When Zhao Xi was teaching his son, there were many discussions in Bianliang about Zhao Xi's reform of water transportation.

For those who are proficient in the way of barter, Xue Xiang is recognized by the court, except for officials.

However, Xue Xiang is absolutely loyal to the officials, even if he can understand the intentions behind the officials, he may not tell them.

Next is Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing has made great progress in the way of barter because of being in charge of Shiyi Temple these years.

As for Lu Jia's question, Wang Anshi is still paying attention to it...

Lu Huiqing was not happy to be invited to Wang Anshi's house at this time.But the officials' actions against Lu Jiawen made everyone understand that the officials cared a lot about the character of the officials.

No matter what Lu Huiqing said, he was recommended by Wang Anshi before he came into the eyes of the officials.

Therefore, Lu Huiqing still came.

"The purpose of the government has never been simple. The so-called water transportation reform, the so-called throwing away the burden, this is by no means the only purpose of the government..."

Lu Jia asked for many years, but still remained in the role of assisting Wang Anshi in dealing with the third envoy.

However, such rhetoric is equivalent to saying nothing, and everyone knows that the official's purpose is not simple.

"What does Jifu think?"

Wang Anshi solemnly consulted Lu Huiqing.

Speaking of which, the reason why the officials proposed reforming the water transport was because Wang Anshi made clear the inside story of the water transport.

It is very necessary for Wang Anshi to understand the intentions of the officials.

"Mr. Ge, the purpose of the government is to win. The imperial court got rid of the burden of the water transport yamen. Merchants can operate shipping, and local state capitals can also legitimately participate in the interests of water transport..."

Lu Huiqing had no choice but to spit out, as much as she said, she had to say something.

"Jifu, aren't the officials worried that the court will lose control of the canal shipping?"

This is what Wang Anshi couldn't understand.Although the official mentioned that the sale is once a year, Wang Anshi does not think that the operation can be changed every year.

This is not a matter of three liang of money. How much assets the Water Transport Yamen has, even if it is sold separately, there will not be too many who are able to obtain these assets.

Once the imperial court loses control of shipping, it will be no less a disaster than the entire Hebei Province drought for the imperial court.

"Mr. Ge, the canal shipping is divided and sold, and it is divided according to the boundaries of the state capital. That is to say, the assets of the water transport yamen will also be divided. This has the basis for the participation of many people."

"Secondly, the imperial court's sale is only one year, and the shipping will return to the imperial court during the annual suspension period. There is enough time for the imperial court to organize the sale or restore the water transport office again..."

Lu Huiqing is quite tired, he can see some intentions of the officials, but he dare not say it!

After all, he is in charge of Shiyi Temple, which is the yamen responsible for licensing and approval by the imperial court, so how can he not know the official's purpose?
What Lu Huiqing was thinking about was: Can he take ownership of the navigation channel!

But now that Wang Ge keeps asking, he can only force it like this.I didn't even know what to say.

"One year...~ There is not much hidden danger in one year, even the grain stored in the Changping warehouse of Guochao is enough to make up for the annual transportation volume of water transportation..."

Wang Anshi is a pure official, an official who truly cares about the country and the people.Although I have some insights into the way of barter, I still can't think of the level of imperial permission and approval.

The communication between Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing was quite deep.

Throughout Bianliang, most of the discussions were basically about how to get a share of the gluttonous feast of water transportation reform.

Even the old six families that Zhao Xi has always relied on are also discussing whether to get involved in water transport affairs.

However, they all have one purpose: see what Zhao Qin does in the palace.

This is also because the word is not getting out and it is only being discussed at cabinet level.

As for the water transport yamen set up in Bianliang, nothing is still known.

Only some people, who were invited, are inquiring in detail about the details of water transportation.From Doumen, branch canals, to ships, crews, and even the annual traffic volume of the canal, etc...

This is what Zhao Xi said to the prince: It depends on what influences you when you think about problems.

The whole court knows exactly how the water transportation is, and there are not a few ministers and workers who even intervene and blend in.

Some people who were originally in a state of fear because of the attack on the prince, now got into the huge benefits of the water transport, and it was difficult to calm down.

This is the appearance of sentient beings.
