But such an official was turned into a useless person by the party struggle.

And, this is politics.

Zhao Xu could only sigh twice.

After doing this, Zhao Xu remembered Cai Que in Fujian.

After entering March, the number of memorials from Fujian began to increase.

Especially after Cai Mao returned to Beijing, people often heard Cai Que mentioned by Zhao Xu.

Obviously, this former prime minister misses Bianjing a little.

When Zhao Xu turned a blind eye, he never expressed his opinion.

He didn't want Cai Que to return to Beijing now and become a minister again.

For official fans like Cai Que, it is better to stay in the local area for a few more years, so it is better to have a good temper.

Just as he was thinking, Guo Zhongxiao's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty..."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The Grand Master handed over the letter and sent it to the Tongjiansi!" Guo Zhongxiao replied.

"Come on!" Zhao Xu said happily immediately.

Now, he and Wen Yanbo have a very compatible tacit understanding.

Basically, Zhao Xu often hints at many things, and Wen Yanbo can write a letter immediately, following Zhao Xu's intentions and make his suggestions.

Then, Zhao Xu followed suit and gave pressure to the capital.

Force the capital to do things.

Just like last year, sea salt flooded in Bianjing City.

The Ministry of Revenue was almost cursing, but Wen Yanbo's letter entered the palace and shut up.

Wen Yanbo did not discuss the ban on salt.

He only made a few small suggestions.

He said—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After Zhao Xu pointed out a like, he forwarded it to the Dutang.

The priests of the capital could only grit their teeth and set up markets in these salt fields.

The city has been a business concept since ancient times.

In the countryside, it is called Caoshi, and in the city it is called Shijing.

After entering the Song Dynasty, with the development of the commodity economy, a large number of administrative units such as cities and towns appeared.

Moreover, the people living in cities, towns and cities also have new identities - city-town households.

The urban households and rural households began to separate.

The two began to have a significant difference.

For example, urban households do not pay two taxes or pay rent.

They pay commercial taxes, dental taxes (property taxes) - Yes, urban residents need to pay property taxes every year in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that the fields among the people were 800 people who had been a thousand years of land.

The mansions in the city are also undetermined.

Once the descendants are unfilial, no matter how rich a family is, their family will suffer.

For example, when Zhao Xu just ascended the throne, didn’t the faction say that he had found the descendants of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian and Du?

The dignified Taizu, the descendant of Taizong's biological mother.

As early as decades ago, I had left Bianjing and went to the frontier to make a living.

If Zhao Xu hadn't ascended the throne, the officials remembered that they would need to find the founding empress dowager's family to be the mascot.

If the Du family is born in another generation, they will be the same as the common people.

It's gone far.

Back to the issue of salt, Zhao Xu used Wen Yanbo's mouth to force the capital to open new places such as Mizhou, Dengzhou, Haizhou, Mingzhou and other places, or those that have existed in the past, have now expanded the production scale and the salt-producing land that uses the salt-drying method is set as a "city".

It is equivalent to acknowledging the legitimacy of these salt fields at the official level.

Allow these salt fields to flow legally into the market.

It is also admitted that local salt workers and salt merchants are urban households, while salt fields are commercial real estate such as houses, shops, and workshops.

Thus they were stripped from rural households.

However, there is no sales area defined, nor is there a government policy on salt deliberation.

According to the understanding of the Song society, as long as the court does not resist the problem, it can be sold openly!,

Therefore, the Caosi officers and soldiers and private salt dealers from Southeast and JD.com, who were originally going to sneak, are now openly carrying sea salt and dried fish, and transporting them to various places for public sale.

After seeing these situations, the Ministry of Revenue lies straight.

I don't argue about whether to deal with salt or salt.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Xu released something that made the Ministry of Revenue salivate - Quetang!

Compared with salt, sugar is undoubtedly more profitable and better controlled.

As long as you catch the upstream, you can lie down and collect money. You don’t have to worry about being stabbed by others and causing social conflicts - salt, no one can ignore it.

But you can avoid sugar.

It seems that this is a disadvantage?

But it is actually an advantage.

Because the commodity economy of the Song Dynasty was developed and there were many people in cities with consumption capacity.

And sugar is addictive.

I have eaten it once, and I want to eat it the second time and the third time.

Since the first month of this year, the hot sales of Bianjing cane sugar and frosted sugar have proved the bright future and financial contribution of sugar.

Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue now doesn't care about the matter of salt.

Zhang Heng led the Ministry of Revenue and rushed directly to the sugar industry.

Now it is competing with Kaifeng Prefecture for the jurisdiction of the Bianjing Sugar Selling Institute.

At the same time, he was also making lawsuits with various foreign relatives, hoping to formulate a law to include the sales of sugar in the Ministry of Revenue’s monopoly and supervision.

...

Guo Zhongxiao came to Zhao Xu and submitted the letter written by Wen Yanbo to the imperial court.

Zhao Xu took it, just scanned it and laughed: "If you don't say that, there is an old family, it's like a treasure!"

"The Taishi is really a pillar of the country and a pillar of the country!"

So, he picked up the pen and gave an instruction on Wen Yanbo's letter: The Grand Tutor's discussion is very good, please ask Duke Shen to convene his grandfathers to discuss and come up with a specific strategy!

Then he handed the letter back to Guo Zhongxiao and ordered him to copy it and then send it to the two palaces and the capital.

Wen Yanbo's letter mainly talks about one thing.

Management issues of the wing soldiers!

In his letter, Wen Yanbo first reviewed the management history of the Song Dynasty's wing soldiers and praised the wise vision of the ancestors of the sects.

But it also pointed out that the current wing soldiers have chaotic management and have led to many branches, which is very unfavorable to the country and the court.

Then he gave his experience in suppressing the rebellion of King Ze of Beizhou.

I believe that if the management of the Song Xiang Army continues like this, something big will happen sooner or later!

Therefore, he asked the court to pay attention to this matter.

The Xiangjun can't continue like this anymore!

No, you can command and send anybody at will.

This is exactly what Zhao Xu's appetite is.

He had long wanted to reform the management system of the Xiangjun.

The jurisdiction and management rights of the Xiangjun in various places were taken back from the mother-in-law and mothers to establish a unified and independent Xiangjun management agency.

In the past, the time was not ripe for various reasons.

But now, with one south and one north, two new economic pillars, rising rapidly.

At the same time, Song Yongchen led the imperial guards to beat the ashes everywhere, allowing the imperial guards in Beijing to successfully transform into the civil engineering army.

Zhao Xu felt that the time was almost ripe, so he hinted through Wen Yiqing that Wen Yanbo - the problem of the country's wing army is quite serious now! I am very worried! You are the son of the Grand Tutor, can you ask the Grand Tutor on my behalf?
