I became the son of Renzong

In the past few years, there have been many internal and external affairs of the imperial court, and Zhao Xi has never felt that kind of particularly stable development.Beiliao is not Xixia, not only is it a vast territory, but also its soldiers and strength should not be comparable to Xixia.

It is difficult to achieve a grand scheme like the recovery of Xixia in a war with Beiliao. It can only be a frontal war, which is what later generations call steel guns.

Zhao Xi doesn't have any fear of Liao, but Zhao Xi knows that the mainstream of the country has adapted to the so-called peaceful coexistence with Beiliao.

Recovering Yanyun is indeed a big issue for Guochao.

Such a big topic, of course, cannot be settled in such a casual way in the workshop city office, but the general direction has been determined.It takes a year or more to deploy.

When dealing with Xixia, the imperial court also started from Jinglue Hehuang, and it took two or three years before it officially entered the war to destroy Xixia.

This time, everything in the workshop city is kept secret... The defense of the workshop city is the most stringent in the country, and the loyalty of the personnel is also the most loyal in the country, so there is no need to worry about any leaks.

This is not to say that the people in Gongfang City are different from other places, but that in the entire Gongfang City, even ordinary craftsmen receive higher salaries than the average level of government officials.

On this point, Zhao Xi is arbitrary.And the workshop city's performance in these years, whether it is in military or civilian use, has also made no noise in the court.

No one wants to mess with the workshop city, everyone has the industrial income derived from the workshop city.

Regarding the preparations for the war and the recovery of Yanyun, there was no news from the court, but the workshop city had entered a state of emergency again, while the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were recruiting soldiers step by step.

As for the replacement of the border garrison armament... this is already a routine, and even the increase or decrease of armament materials is common to the border garrison.

"Officials, the cabinet has completed the formulation of a strategy for the production and transportation of kerosene. However, the issue of kerosene sales is more controversial."

Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing played against each other and asked the officials for advice on the sale of kerosene.

Wang Anshi seems to be changing too. At least on the matter of kerosene, he no longer brought cabinet disputes to the officials, and did not expect the officials to give him unprincipled support in front of all the cabinets.

"What is the point of contention?"

"Returning to the government, the disputes focus on the issue of sales agents. The cabinet is in dispute as to how to determine the merchants for sale at the provincial, prefecture, prefecture, and county level, how to specify the standards, and so on."

To put it bluntly, it is still a question of interests. Wang Anshi is very disgusted with the phenomenon that the cabinet is arguing for interests.However, he did not properly address the controversy.

After the government experimented with kerosene in the workshop city, it has already begun to implement it in Bianliang.Although Wang Anshi was a little annoyed at the practice of the workshop city without the approval of the cabinet, he did not point fingers at the workshop city. Everyone knew that the workshop city was the territory of the government.

It was also because of the promotion of kerosene in Bianliang that the courtiers knew about kerosene, which also made it difficult to coordinate the cabinet's debate.

The cabinet cannot exist independently, and Wang Anshi is no exception. He has his own protégés, as well as relatively close courtiers and forces, including township parties, and there are always intricate entanglements of interests.

Although Wang Anshi didn't take it seriously for arguing because of his interests, judging from the officials he supported in his early years, he also had a difference between closeness and closeness. Wang Anshi was also a cabinet whose ability was judged by closeness.

Therefore, when courtiers, local gentry, and merchants influence the cabinet, it is difficult to reach an agreement.

I also considered selling it. After all, the products and crafts of Workshop City have been sold many times, and I even considered promoting it like a wine supervisor and a tea supervisor.

However, when the three-level decision-making system was implemented in the current state, there were already relevant laws and regulations on the use of officials. Even tea, wine, salt and iron have reduced the number of officials and put them under the management of the city. How can they set up another yamen? ?

As for selling...

"Then use the method of selling!"

Zhao Xi felt that this shouldn't be a matter, because the interests were related, and there would definitely be disputes.Simple disposal is enough.

"Officials, kerosene comes from kerosene, so it should be controlled by the court. Besides, the habit of kerosene is uncertain. According to Mr. Su Ge, if you are not careful, it will be a disaster."

"Businessmen and common people can't expect that it can strictly implement the standardized process like the workshop city. And the transshipment and storage of kerosene will be guided by the workshop city and the track. I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement the sale."

For the reason Wang Anshi said, Zhao Xi was a little helpless.After thinking about it, I don’t know before. It seems that Guochao’s Pumai has not targeted this abstract meaning of Pumai, that is, Pumai only for the right to sell... This is a name of selling.

Of course, the cabinet is also entangled in the issue of transshipment and limited management of the court.

"Simply sell the right to sell, and at the same time add the price of the track transfer and workshop city storage guidance. For the convenience of management, you can try to sell in the form of a road, a prefecture, a prefecture, and a county."

"The price of kerosene is set uniformly by the imperial court, and all state capitals of the country have the same price. The imperial court semi-controls things, and there is no need for competition. As for how to set the price of kerosene to achieve a balance between the workshop city, the imperial court, local merchants, and the common people, etc. All parties appeal, this is a matter of Shiyi.”

From the standpoint of the imperial court, it is a good thing to have disputes.

Couldn't it be that Lu Huiqing's pricing and the price of Workshop City have left too much profit margin?

Chapter 842 Wang Anshi's Persistence

Zhao Xi didn't want to go through everything and set rough principles, and he didn't want to know what the current price of Bianliang kerosene was, and whether the workshop city would be sold as waste.

With such a principle, the price will be automatically corrected by competitively selling the right to sell. Of course, once the basis for the auction is established, the cabinet will correct the price of the market.

"Wang Xiang, I thought of something, and I just asked Wang Xiang to consider it. The country has a market supervision office, but there is no relevant law enforcement agency. Currently, the country's market supervision is implemented by the supervision office."

"However, I think that the duty of supervising the government offices should be to supervise court officials and government offices, not to focus on market supervision, and not to focus on merchants. Wang Xiang and Mr. Lu Ge, can you try to build a team? Simply supervise the price execution of Guochao, or the execution team of Shiyi.”

"This team serves as a supplement to the Shiyi Temple to ensure that the policies of the imperial court on Shiyi are implemented in the local prefectures and counties. The original wine supervisor, tea supervisor, and salt and iron supervisor are unified into this team. Double-sided management with the imperial court, subject to the supervision of the supervisory office..."

"It's just a preliminary idea. The cabinet will discuss whether it is feasible later."

Zhao Xi also thought of the issue of price enforcement when he talked about the unified price of the country and dynasty, and then thought of various law enforcement teams in later generations.

Perhaps there is no need to subdivide it like later generations, and it is entirely possible to have a department similar to comprehensive law enforcement.

Zhao Xi also knows that it is inevitable that there will be a need to get a card, and under the supervision of the supervisory office system, it should be able to prevent it to a limited extent.Moreover, the implementation of the dual management of the local government and the imperial court may be somewhat restrained.

The imperial court monitors the mobility of the Yamen, which can avoid collusion to a certain extent.In addition, the investigation of the Imperial City Division is now quite large, and it can also be supervised.

It's not impossible to try.

"Official..."

Wang Anshi opened his mouth and looked at Lu Huiqing, as if he wanted to avoid it, but also as if he had made up his mind.

"Officials, at the beginning of the implementation of the Municipal Change Law, Lu Wangzhi had advised the veterans in this regard. If the imperial court intends to establish this yamen, the veterans will recommend Lu Wangzhi to take on this responsibility."

"Lu Jia asked?"

"Exactly."

This Wang Anshi is really persistent, it has been so many years, and he still does not forget to support Lu Jiawen.

Speaking of which, Wang Anshi deserves praise for this point. Lv Jiawen, who followed him to implement the new law in the early years, is quite downcast now.

Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun were already in the cabinet, Zeng Bu also served as the deputy chief inspector of the supervisory office, and was in charge of internal affairs, and Wang Shao was also in the cabinet.

In the early years, there was only one Lu Jiawen who was close to Wang Anshi, but now he is just an ordinary official in the Shiyi Yamen. Because of the fierce competition in the government yamen for participating in politics, so far Lu Jiawen has not been involved in politics.

"First discuss whether this matter is feasible, and then talk about who will be in charge."

After more than 20 years, Zhao Xi also felt a little cruel.To a certain extent, Lu Jiawen is a bit talented, character is character, and a house thief is a house thief. Indeed, it cannot be said that Lu Jiawen is incompetent.

Feeling sympathetic, Zhao Xi still didn't answer Wang Anshi face to face, even the answer was still refusal.
