Chapter 1333 Jiedu

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Fujian was led by the governor of the Weiwu Army.

The Fujian road leaders of the Song Dynasty were Fu, Jian, Quan, Ting, Zhang and Jian. Later, Jianzhou was divided into Shaowu Army and Quanzhou was divided into Xinghua Army.

The Fujian Road Fourth Division and the Execution Department are in Fuzhou, while the Transportation Department and the Execution Changping Department are permanently located in Jianzhou.

After the Yuanfeng reorganization, the Transport Department was under the left Cao of the Ministry of Revenue of the Shangshu Province, the Changping Department was under the right Cao of the Ministry of Revenue of the Shangshu Province, the Censorate Prison Department was under the Censorate, and the Pacification Envoy Department was under the Privy Council. The four departments were not under the jurisdiction of each other.

Therefore, Fujian Road is a double-provincial capital pattern. When the status of the Fuzhou Prefecture Department was improved, the status of Fuzhou Prefecture was only improved. In addition to the two departments, there are also two counties and county yamen in the city, Fengguojianying, and Jian'an Ouning.

Therefore, Jianzhou is a huge scale, with many officials and scholars coming and going.

The office of the Transportation Commission was originally located in Tongxianmen and was adjacent to the provincial school.

When Zhang Yue arrived at Jianzhou Prefecture School from Pucheng, he took a look. Thirty years ago, he obtained the tribute of the Imperial College with Guo Lin in the prefecture school.

Zhang Yue ordered someone to post a post, and soon the gate of the Transportation Commission opened wide, and the Deputy Transportation Commissioner Wang Zijing went out to greet him in person.

There is no official envoy in the Fujian Road Transport Department for the time being, only a deputy envoy.

This is also the usual way for the officials. High officials are afraid of taking risks, and low officials are ambitious but not qualified, so they have the following operations.

He took away the official and used a low-ranking official from a poor family and had no connections to serve as deputy envoys.

Wang Zijinghou's official, his clan brother Wang Zudao was appointed as the magistrate of Quanzhou. In the fourth year of Zhiping, he served as the manager of Jianzhou to join the army. He was appreciated for handling the Jianyang tea tax case.

In the third year of Xining, he served as an official in the Fujian Road Transfer Department, participated in the Wang'anshi City Change Law, and supervised the construction of tea child laborers.

In the first year of Yuanfeng, Changping Warehouse was recommended on Liangzhe Road.

He is currently the deputy envoy of Fujian Road Transportation and is also the director of the Tea Department.

"I've met my husband!"

When Zhang Yue saw that Wang Zijing's resume appeared in his mind. Unlike the cruel officials rumored by the people, this person was slightly fat and looked very kind.

Of course, whether it is rumors or photographers, it is just a preliminary judgment.

"I don't know that Mr. Jian was visiting, and the officials were wronged and welcomed. I hope I will forgive my crime."

Zhang Yue said: "Jianzhou is my hometown, so what should I welcome or not? I have retired and I should not ask too much, but I will not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble."

"Can Duke Jian come for the Jianyang tea event?" Wang Zijing said carefully.

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Go in and talk slowly."

After entering the lobby, Wang Zijing rolled his Adam's apple and took out the gold-inlaid sandalwood box: "The newly roasted dragon tuan in Jianzhou is so good to snow, please ask Jiangong." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue had already lifted the tea lid and looked at Fumo and said, "The seven clinkers of Jiancha still smell good, but how many times can the people's blood and sweat withstand? You will report the tea matter to you."

Wang Zijing reported in detail about the implementation of the Tea Law.

"I reported to Jiangong that the average annual tea tax in Jianzhou has been 150,000 guan from Xining, which has dropped to 30,000 guan in the early years of Yuanfeng, of which 70% of private tea trade."

Jianzhou tea tax was the top priority of the imperial court. Because the tea tax plummeted, Wang Zijing implemented the "tea method".

"How did you deal with it?"

"Build three million jin of tea, and Nanjianzhou's 200,000 jin is all bought by the official. The capital is to borrow 100,000 jin of money from Fengguojian..."

The Fengguojian of Jianzhou was minted 200,000 stag of copper coins every year, which is one of the four major coins in the world. This time, Wang Zijing's tea method was to borrow money from the Fengguojian from the court as capital.

At the same time, a pre-buy tea induction system was established. Merchants can pay 30% of the payment in advance to lock in the tea amount of the following year, with an annual interest of 20%.

In addition, nine passes were set up in Wuyi Mountain to control tea merchant passages, and double stamps of fire paint and lead printing were used to prevent counterfeiting.

In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Wang Zijing issued 800,000 guan of "Tea and Salt Banknotes" and asked the tea ingots to be exchanged for salt ingots.

Wang Zijing even established a tea school in Jianyang and trained 200 tea-debating officials.

Wang Zijing said: "Now Jianzhou has a tea profit of 450,000 yuan, accounting for 25% of the annual income of this road!"

"From 30,000 guan a year to 450,000 guan a year! Wang Cao is a capable official."

Wang Zijing lowered his head and said, "I dare not take it."

Zhang Yue asked: "So what about the tea farmers?"

Wang Zijing said: "This..."

"Has Wang Caosi ever seen that nine out of ten rooms in the tea garden?" Zhang Yue cut off his verbal talk and pointed to the Wuyi mountains surrounded by mist outside the window: "The pass is nine locks, and the tea is strictly investigated. The annual income of tea farmers is less than 30% of the year."

Wang Zijing said: "Kun Jian, this is someone among the people who are exaggerating."

"What if it's an alarmist?" Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Nearly 10,000 tea households in Jianzhou have fled!"

"The Zhou family, a tea merchant in Fuzhou, suffered a loss of 30,000 yuan when they were forced to sell their ancestral home!"

Wang Zijing was surprised, and Zhang Yue knew it clearly.

Zhang Yue said: "Now the two Zhejiang imperial guards have been stationed in Fenshui Pass, so they are really just guarding against the 'unlucky people'? Why have more than a thousand people been detained in the prison of the prefecture and county yamen these days?"

Wang Zijing wanted to speak, but Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pressed: "Duke Fan Wenzheng reformed the tea method back then and knew the way of "communicating business and benefiting labor". Now the law is urgent, and tea school is all about exploiting officials. If it arouses civil unrest, not to mention forty-five thousand guan, I am afraid that even 30,000 guan will not be able to collect."

Wang Zijing wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Yue said slowly again: "Tea merchant Zheng Guang led 300 bandits to seize Huang Longbai in two days, and took the banner of "killing Prince Jing and dismissing the tea method"!"

Wang Zijing stood up and said, "Jian Gong Mingjian, the lower officials are the lucky messengers. If there is any mistake, the lower officials will bear all the burdens."

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Zijing and smiled and said, "Can you afford it?"

Prince Jing said: "I deserve it!"

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, this dynasty has always been lenient with the scholars and officials, and even if there is a civil rebellion, it doesn't matter."

"Of course there are people in the court who support you. Let me ask, who did it?"

Prince Jing said: "The lower official was promoted by Your Majesty, and he was in charge of the sage's will."

Zhang Yueze said: "Not only that, you were appreciated for practicing tea in Xining for three years. Yuandu should support you."

When Wang Zijing heard this, his expression changed.

Wang Zijing's career was related to the court's handling of tea affairs throughout his life, and he was firmly bound to the new party line.

However, when Wang Zijing was promoted, Cai Que had not yet taken office. Now, except Cai Que, the only one who can have such intense means in the court is Cai Bian.

"Do you know that Yuandu is my disciple!" Zhang Yue said.

Wang Zijing suddenly raised his head and said, "Duke Jian, tea is the policy of Duke Jing!"

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "A good general."

Zhang Yue walked to the hall and looked at the towering pavilions outside the hall and the Wuyi mountains shrouded in the distance.

Zhang Yue said: "In this way, I won't make things difficult for you."

"The interest rate of tea is reduced by half, and the official roasting quota is allowed to sell it for people on their own, and the tea price is increased to 350 quotas - you will write these three notes tonight."

""You can't stay in Jianzhou, Quanzhou Shibo is missing someone who can plan."

Wang Zijing's expression changed, and the court's profits became weaker, and he could only make more than 100,000 yuan a year from 450,000 yuan. Even though it was higher than the previous 30,000 yuan, his methods were not shown at all.

The most important thing is that he has lost his achievements in the reform of tea methods. He has also spent so much effort to become an official in other places.

"Mr. Jian is absolutely not allowed. The officials thought that some unruly people would cause trouble. If they suppress it, they would be able to suppress the rebellion. The tea soldiers and the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang route together would definitely quell the rebellion. What the court has gained from then on was a steady stream of tea and profits. In the long run, officials and people would be willing to give it a favor."

"My prince Jing is worthy of his Majesty and his Duke Jing."

Zhang Yue shook his head, you only saw that the increase from 30,000 guan to 450,000 guan had collected so much money for the court.

But you don’t think that the people have lost 420,000 yuan. Who can bear such a great resentment? It will take a long time for officials and people to be called "foreigners".

Zhang Yue said: "I went to Huanglong roast yesterday and saw a teahouse plastered with tung oil, pretending to be a blind man to avoid the expedition. How can you do your country and the people? Just for the country and not the people."

"If the people are lost, the country will not exist."

"I will tell you the last sentence: The principle of governing the country and governing the country will never be exhausted and fishing. It does not require a temporary reputation, but will ruin the achievements of a hundred generations."

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

Wang Zijing thought of Zhang Yue's implicit advice. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, saying, "Mr. Jian must have worked hard all the way. The officials have prepared a tea break, so please give Jian Gong a reward."

"please!"

Wang Zijing immediately made a gesture of seeing off guests, as if he would not be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "No need, I'll wait here with you, and there will be news later."

Wang Zijing's face changed, but Zhang Yue grabbed his hand and said, "Sir Cao, you and I'll wait here."

Wang Zijing remembered the last time he went to Beijing to resign.

Zhang Yue was the prime minister and acted as the stars in the political affairs hall. After saying three words in person, he was already sweating profusely.

With his power, even though Zhang Yue had already retired, he did not dare to say anything, so he had to sit down again.

...

The two sat in the hall for an hour. Zhang Yue closed his eyes and sat upright in front of the table, and his fingertips tapped on the table. Wang Zijing's temples were soaked with sweat.

Suddenly, a rapid ringtone rang outside the hall.

But when eight imperial city officials personally followed the officials to open the way, an official knew that Deng Xunwu was in charge of the ranks under the escort of the imperial guards. Deng Xunwu held the Huang Ling imperial edict and said loudly: "The Grand Secretary of Guanwen Palace, the seal of the founding of the Kingdom of the Kingdom is more and more important than that!"
