Chapter 614: Tang Ke's suggestion

As the former leader of the Privy Council, Li Gang has always been promoting military and political reform with the Military Governor's Office.

He had basically never interfered in the economy of the Song Dynasty, and he rarely had arbitrage.

However, since I went to Liaodong and governed Liaodong, I have a deep sense of the economy.

The reason why he had such an idea was also influenced by the local environment in Liaodong.

Compared with the Central Plains and the South, the situation in Liaodong is unstable and the economic foundation is weak. He prefers strong control by the government.

As for people, they are easily affected by the environment around them.

Therefore, Li Gang urgently proposed that the court should tighten the private economy and belong to the royal trading company.

The reason why Yu Yunwen wanted to do this was related to his background in entering the State Council.

At the beginning, when the Zheng family case broke out, Xu Churen was implicated, which caused an uproar in the court.

The imperial prime minister was dismissed, and the civil businessmen were arrogant and domineering. Their actions of usurpation touched the emperor's sensitive nerves.

In this case, if Yu Yunwen takes office, his next decision must be affected by the general environment.

What's more, the next case of the Guangzhou Chen family case and the Fujian officials and businessmen collusion occurred.

This further strengthened Yu Yunwen's determination to promote the court to increase commercial control and expand the scale of the royal trading company.

Some people in the court saw this situation, and some people chose to stand on Yu Yunwen's side. At the same time, Yu Yunwen began to promote new people in the center.

Under such a general environment, the court formed two factions of the new and old.

The new and old factions here are not the new and old factions of reform, but the political parties of the court's political views on the economic model of the Song Dynasty.

As the situation of Liaodong, Guangnan East Road, and Heluo tended to stabilize, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty had entered the Western Regions, and the external contradictions suddenly eased.

The sudden increase in vast territory is urgently needed for economic development.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty who extended from the Central Plains, the south and the northwest gained an unprecedented stage in the Xinjiang border.

Private trading companies will inevitably expand their scale.

In such an environment, the contradiction between the old and new factions began to become sharp this year.

One side thinks that the scale of private trading companies should not be too fast.

One side felt that to quickly stabilize this place, increase the financial income of the central court, and accelerate the implementation of Jiaozi, we must rely on the power of private trading companies.

No matter which side, they think they make sense.

Zhao Huan sat in the middle, watching the ministers' arguments.

At present, the debate in the court is very healthy.

Everyone argues with their own political views, not for the sake of opposing it.

The party dispute left over from the Shenzong Dynasty was completely destroyed by Zhao Huan after the previous dynasty.

He Yongzhi, the governor of Guangnan New Prefecture, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"He Qing, you just say it's okay."

"After traitors' rebellion, Guangzhou has been in trouble, so it is said that clothing and food are both good. Next year, Guangzhou will open 200 cloth stores, 2,000 restaurants, 50 grain shops, and twelve textile factories."

He Yongzhi took a sneak peek at Yu Yunwen. Since his boss felt that he had been released from the public, of course he had to say it according to the boss's wishes.

He originally prepared another set of rhetoric, meaning that if he wanted to revive the Canton Mansion, the government must do its best to dominate it.

But seeing that Yu Yunwen has expressed his opinion, of course he can't say as he had prepared before.

He Yongzhi's tone was slow, and he was only twenty-six years old this year, and he was a real young man.

Standing in the court, he was not at all panic, and his tone revealed stability, which was also the reason why Yu Yunwen sent him to the new Guangnan mansion.

"Only by completing such a goal can we alleviate the pressure on people's livelihood in Guangnan New Prefecture."

"If you want to achieve such a goal within one year, you will have to rely on the power of the people."

"So, I think what Mr. Yu said is very true. The disputes in the court should not be left behind and talked about in vain, and should be based on the actual situation among the people."

Zhao Huan nodded: "Okay! He Qing said it well!"

Li Gang was obviously dissatisfied, and he said, "Your Majesty think twice!"

Zhao Huan frowned slightly. He didn't expect Li Gang's opposition to be so strong.

Zhao Huan said: "I think what He Qing said is so true. Those in power should not leave it alone and talk about it in vain. They should take the actual situation of the people as the starting point. It is nothing more than the number of private trading companies and royal trading companies. If Li Qing believes that Liaodong should increase royal trading companies to better build, he will submit a memorial and make a profit according to local conditions."

"But I don't want everything to be done by the royal trading company. The people have their own operating rules, and this is the way of heaven."

"Whether it is adding royal trading companies or supporting private trading companies, what I want is the circulation of Jiaozi and the comprehensive establishment of food, clothing, housing and transportation. You don't need to argue in this regard."

The ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

All the ministers who had just left the list returned to their seats.

For a moment, the hall actually became quiet.

Zhao Huan glanced at the ministers and said, "Grandpa Tang, what do you have to say?"

The Gong of Tang he mentioned was nothing but Tang Ke from the northwest.

Although his position is Hedaluo Zhengshi, Tang Ke's title is Pingzhang, the subordinate of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. He is a first-rank official and his official rank is much higher than that of Yu Yunwen.

And which of the old school present is not Tang Ke’s person?

When the emperor mentioned him, many people's eyes turned to him.

Tang Ke is fat again.

He got up, and when he walked, the flesh on his face seemed to be beating.

He doesn't look like a high-ranking official, without majesty, but more like a heartless earth rich man.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

He walked into the middle and spoke, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

His voice sounded very soft, and it was obvious that the tone of a scholar.

"Grandpa Tang said it's okay."

"One, the mine is reclaimed by the Royal Trading Company."

"Second, open private schools and strictly investigate compulsory education."

"Three, Yan Cha Enyin."

Tang Ke put forward these three points concisely.

Each one is very touching.

The mining operation is taken over to the Royal Trading Company, and it is obvious that it is to collect strategic resources such as iron ore and coal, and the court will be unified in control and will no longer be opened to private trading companies.

Some people privately speculated that this was to target the one from Youzhou Prefecture.

The imperial concubine's family has made a lot of money by digging mountains over the years.

If he returns now, Han Li will basically hide in the toilet and cry.

And this second article actually involves the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy.

The Song Dynasty's desire for talents was just like the tourists in the desert's desire for water. Tang Ke was obviously not satisfied with the speed of the school construction at the Hanlin Academy.

And the third point is actually to raise the old question again.

As early as the fifth year of Jingkang, the imperial court began to abolish the system of grace.

The descendants of officials must pass the formal imperial examination if they want to become officials.

But the execution efforts over the years have obviously made Tang Ke unsatisfied.
