I became the son of Renzong

"Xiaoqin, let me ask you, do you know these things?"

Zhao Xi pointed to the report in Wang Zhongzheng's arms... At this time Wang Zhongzheng put the report on the desk.

"Returning to the official's house, all the prefectures and counties of the country, where there are Cuju competitions, have opened the report. Because the leader of the Cuju competition is the old six, the entire country and the dynasty, the old six have participated, and all the places The same goes for returns.”

"Let's not talk about this for the time being. I want to know about the delivery of reports to the state capitals of the country. For example, how did the "Cuju Express" and "Shi Lun" in Bianliang reach other state capitals?"

"Official...official...this is all paid by the trading company..."

Zhao Qin thought that this matter touched a certain taboo of the officials, so he hesitated, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it.

"What are you thinking? I'll ask how you passed it on!"

Only then did Zhao Qin look up at the official's house...it didn't look like she was angry.Then I sorted out my ideas and began to say: "Officials, the earliest demand for "Cuju Express" in Gyeonggi-do, Jingdong, and Jingxi Road was particularly large. The company's own transportation was beyond its capabilities, so it reached an agreement with rail transportation. Money, the passenger and cargo carriages that travel on the rails, help the trading company to bring the report to the two places.”

"Later, due to the reduction in the cost of reimbursement, the demand increased, and it was almost necessary to occupy a rail carriage every day. The trading company signed a contract with the rail side. We did not use the court rail car for nothing..."

"Well, you continue..."

"Later, all the state capitals had Cuju teams and Cuju competitions. The original Pumai stalls selectively opened games in other state capitals, which led to Bianliang also needing to know other A cuju competition in the state capital."

"Later, the Cuju Association planned to organize Cuju competitions across the country, which resulted in the need for Cuju to arrive and report to Manchu Dynasty. In the end, the trading company coordinated with the rail side to ensure that the rail carriage added a carriage for the arrival and delivery at any time. ..."

After all, Zhao Qin was regarded as a master among the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he was a little afraid of the officials, he could speak smoothly.

"Xiaoqin, how much does the company spend on shipping every year?"

"There are too many! Not only the rail carriages, but also the Water Transport Yamen Trading Co., Ltd. also has a contract. The trading company bought the printing process and equipment in the workshop city, and most of the reduced costs are subsidized for transportation."

"Officials, I have always listened to what the officials say. In business and business, I have never bullied others. Not to mention our family, even the old six families have obeyed. The two Taiwei also said that the money must be earned together, and the country cannot be full. The six of us have a good life."

"The two Taiwei also said that all the new industries in the country belong to the officials, but the officials still give these industries to the court, and those who should send ministers and workers. This is the sage king. model of..."

These two sentences are pleasant to hear, and Zhao Xi also listens to them.

At this time, Zhao Qin didn't look like a big business man, she was completely a little girl, as if she was acting like a baby with her family.

"Zhongzheng, go back to the queen, I will stay here tonight..."

The official's words made Zhao Qin's mind completely put aside business matters, and she didn't know how to let go of her excited hands and feet. She was too busy to wait for the official's rest...~

Zhao Xi is really not because of that...

"Xiaoqin, what I mean is that if, if the business company is allowed to contract the country's post delivery...~ The contract is to pay some fees to the court every year, complete the necessary functions of the court, operate independently, and be responsible for its own profits and losses. Can the business company support the entire post? Delivery system? Of course, it refers to post stations in non-state capitals, and refers to those Budifu and Madifu."

Zhao Qin was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, she thought the officials were testing her, but it didn't look like it.

Well, she's thought about it a long time ago.There are many post stations in Guochao, and most of them are idle because of the appearance of the track.But the post station insisted on maintaining its official functions, not only the post horses were idle, but also the facilities of the post station were wasted.

Because the track laying is limited, it is impossible to run through all the counties and counties of the country, and their trading companies rely on their feet when transporting arrivals to the counties and counties. Sometimes they ride on ox carts and donkey carts, which is very untimely.

After having this idea, Zhao Qin also specially sent people to investigate the transmission of private letters and the delivery of small items.None of these can be borrowed from the rail network, let alone the post stations of the imperial court, and more are entrusted to the merchants to carry them along.

She felt that there were boundless business opportunities here, so she mentioned it in the trading company, but the two captains said that this matter was too big, and worried that it would not be easy to pass in the court.

At this time, the officials brought up...

"Officials, how about using the station for free with official credentials?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xi knew that Zhao Qin had considered this matter.

"It can be converted into the contracting fee of the imperial court...~You should plan carefully for this matter. If it can be achieved, it can be regarded as solving part of the expenditure for the imperial court. At the same time, it can also establish a separate transportation network that can extend to the transportation network of the country and the villages and towns."

From this point of view, there should be no need to explain business opportunities and prospects for trading companies.It seems that the merchants have considered this kind of thing, at least Zhao Qin has considered it.

Things have their inevitability of development... This is the ultimate truth.

With football, there are guilds, with Cuju Express, there is postal delivery, with sports games, there is gambling, and then there is the demand for the logistics industry.

It may be that interest is the accelerator of society.

When all the courts were paying attention to this private debate on politics, Zhao Xi thought of solving the matter of Guochao's support and post delivery from the arrival of the report... Is this not doing business properly?

Chapter 587

There is no doubt that public opinion will definitely affect the government.It is precisely because Zhao Xi understands this that he has never let go of the control of public opinion.

Just like now, the imperial court's official system reform plan and the three-level decision-making system have been consulted by the court, but they have to stop for a while... because the public debate on politics is still in full swing.

It is said that it is a public discussion of politics, and everyone knows that this is another battleground for courtiers.

Zhao Xi continued to browse through various articles in the newspaper as usual, but unfortunately, there were very few new articles.Discussions revolve around the teachings of sages and sages, imperial edicts, the relationship between the past and the future, character and self-discipline, and so on.Zhao Xi's refreshing idea was no longer seen.

But from the articles of all parties, Zhao Xi felt that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't know where the explosive point would be?When will it be lit?

Another point is that Zhao Xi has never seen the kind of spoiler-oriented articles in various articles.Sometimes Zhao Xi even wants to roll up his sleeves and make trouble in person...

The spoiler is probably really incapable of controlling the situation, and he probably wouldn't have thought that would be the case.

If the spoiler doesn't take action anymore, Zhao Xi is very worried whether the Imperial City Secretary can find the source.

Zhao Xi still didn't convene a meeting. It's not yet time to discuss the affairs of state affairs. He is waiting for the plan letter from Zhao Qin and Lao Liu's family on the matter of the post station.

"The matter of political discussion has become more and more intense, and all kinds of reprisals have emerged one after another, and it has reached the point of flooding. The court must show something! Otherwise, the situation will be out of control."

It turned out that Wang Anshi didn't care about the so-called private discussion of politics, but judging from the current situation, it really came to the point where the imperial court had no choice but to take care of it.

Because of this discussion of politics, it seems that several more Bianliang newspapers and printing houses have arrived overnight.chaos!Very messy!

"The imperial court took action? How did the imperial court act? There has never been a criminal law in the imperial court that punishes people for their words. Let alone scholars, even Goulan Watai joked about the government's government affairs, and they have never been punished. It is only a matter of discussing politics, or discussing affairs that worry about the country and the people. , the imperial court can’t get it at all!”

Han Qi wasn't targeting Wang Anshi, he was also annoyed, and felt that the discussion was showing signs of getting out of control.But there is no way!

"If it doesn't work, all the reports will be sealed!"

This...~You Wang Jiefu cow!

But according to Wang Jiefu's temperament, he really dared to do this.

"Which one is sealed? "Shi Lun" or "Cuju Express"? "Internal Reference" or "Shilin Garden"?"

"If it is foreseeable that the government will be disrupted, An Shi doesn't mind asking the officials to seal them all down!"

Wang Anshi didn't care whether Han Qi was joking or telling the truth.

He, Wang Jiefu, is trying to create a literary prison?Block all returns?Leaving aside the fact that it involves the livelihood of tens of millions of people, let's talk about its nature... How is it different from burning books and burying scholars?

Fu Bi shook his head...he was already 66, and he was reluctant to face the rare prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in a century, and he had been thinking about succeeding Fu Bi as the head of the court for the Great Song Dynasty.
