Chapter 1005

"However, my lord Xiao Wang, I'm afraid the court will definitely not agree to do this." Zong Ze also stood up to express his opinion at this time.

"Oh? Master Zong, please tell me the truth." Wang Yang asked Zong Ze, nodding his head.

"As you said, my lord, the government has vested interests in enabling the Green Crop Law, while usury, wealthy businessmen and gentry have vested interests. Once the Lord improves the Green Crop Law, first of all, it will offend officials all over the world to the greatest extent. , and countless wealthy businessmen and gentry.”

"If you do this, you will encounter great resistance and trouble. I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to support it. After all, as you said, this improved new method will not be able to achieve success overnight. So, before it has achieved success, , before there are any results, how can your Majesty be sure that this method will benefit the court and the people?..."

Zong Ze's words made Wang Yang and Yigan who were discussing with great interest the improvement of the young crop method, as if they had been poured with cold water, and the atmosphere immediately became cold, so cold that Wang Daguan wanted to sing a cool solo cold.

Gao Shi stroked his short beard, squinted his eyes, and expressed a different opinion.

"Your Majesty Zong is justified, but Gao thinks that since His Majesty has given His Majesty Xiao Wang permission to preside over the affairs of the North Shaanxi Road, and regards this place as a test area for improving new laws, it is better... to promote it here first. , wait until you see the pros and cons, and then go to the court?"

"That's right, the lower officials also feel that Mr. Gao's words are reasonable, and they will be implemented on Shaanxi North Road first. If there are any mistakes or omissions, it is the so-called boat that is easy to turn around, and this kind of lending institution that Mr. Wang described.

It can indeed reduce the harm of high-interest loans to the people to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also isolate the possibility of local officials intervening in lending institutions..." Gao Qiu immediately expressed his agreement with the opinion of Gao Shize, who was a family 500 years ago .

Zong Ze stroked his long beard and pondered for a long time, and he had to nod to admit that small-scale experiment promotion, and after the results were completed, it was played to the court. This may be the best way to avoid the pressure from the court and the people to the greatest extent.

Once it is determined that this kind of improvement can be implemented nationwide, then with Shaanxi North Road as a model, a group of familiar business personnel can be cultivated, and implementation will be much more convenient and smooth.

"I also think that this is the best way, but...if we don't communicate this matter with the DPRK first, I'm afraid that in the future, I will be impeached by important officials in the DPRK..."

"It doesn't matter, if it can really benefit the country and the people, it doesn't matter how many opinions they have on me." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and straightened his back.

"Moreover, I also completely ignore the court. I will speak to His Majesty first, at least say hello to His Majesty, and let him have a mental preparation first. After all, if there is no court support for this matter, it will not be easy." It's nothing, but His Majesty's support is necessary."

Wang Yang clenched his fists tightly and glanced at the capable generals present. "You don't have to worry too much. Wang believes that even if His Majesty doesn't support it, he will at least give us a chance to do something."

"The failure of Mr. Anshi's reform in the past was not because the late emperor did not give his full support, but because many of Mr. Anshi's new laws only considered the benefit of the people, but failed to make up for the mistakes and shortcomings of the new law. until it fails.”

"Now, Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead. As ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, we should share His Majesty's worries and seek blessings for the people of the Great Song Dynasty. I also hope that you will join me..."

Everyone in the hall stood up one after another and saluted Wang Yang. Well, another faction independent of the new party and the old party was born.

Although here, except for Zong Ze, an old driver who is close to forty, the rest are in their twenties and thirties.They can be regarded as outstanding talents who became famous at a young age, and the important thing is that they are all extremely capable and outstanding officials.

Therefore, Wang Yang firmly believes that with His Majesty's secret support and such a group of capable generals working hard together, he believes that the future will be even better, and the Song Dynasty will become more and more prosperous and powerful.

First of all, it is natural to be conscientious and conscientious to get things done in these six states first.

Therefore, Wang Yang decided, um... to write a letter to His Majesty, telling Emperor Zhao Xu about the current difficulties in North Shaanxi Road, the major events he was planning to plan, and the impact and consequences of establishing a bank.

Of course, it also analyzed in detail the benefits that can be brought about by independent lending institutions from the government. In addition, it can also play a role in regulating private lending...

When the emperor Zhao Xu received this urgent letter from Babaili, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Originally, the letter was sent in a wooden box less than an inch thick, but this time, it was replaced by a wooden box that was thick enough. A wooden box with a height of more than three inches.

Moreover, the thickness of the letters inside was so thick that the Emperor Zhao Xu thought that Wang Yang had sent him a whole set of "The Analects of Confucius".

From the end of the early court meeting at noon, the emperor came to the queen's palace. After receiving these letters, the emperor began to study them in detail. After lunch and dinner, the emperor was not willing to let go.

The helpless Empress Meng had no choice but to feed the child herself. Finally, she sent the sleeping child to the next door, and then came over to continue reading Wang Yang's letter with the hard-working emperor.

Until it was close to midnight, when the last piece of letter paper was put down, the emperor seemed to realize that it was already so late.

"It's almost the third watch? I didn't expect, Wang Wushan, this really gave me a big surprise, but it also brought me a big problem..."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu Shan, are these letters to you really just letters?" Empress Meng still couldn't believe it.

"Well, it's a letter, but the value and significance of a letter is definitely no less than the eternally famous "On Salt and Iron"..." Emperor Zhao Xu nodded, and gently patted the 2-word letter with a big hand. On the [-]-word letter.

Wang Yang's letter focused on some of his views on the Great Song Dynasty Reform in the past, and then explained in detail the actual situation on Shaanxi North Road today, and then, on the implementation of the Green Crop Law in the past. The advantages and disadvantages were also analyzed.

Then it puts forward the concept of bank, and of course, elaborates and analyzes in detail the advantages and disadvantages brought by the birth of the banking system.

In short, the arguments and evidence are extremely exciting, and the analysis is also very accurate. The important thing is that banks, which will be controlled by the court, but will not be placed within the government system, will become a very special kind of lending institution. independent existence.

In his letter, Wang Yang proposed the two concepts of state-owned banks and private banks. State-owned banks will become the most important part of the Song Dynasty's financial system in the future, while private banks will become a very important part of this financial system. Important addition.
