Chapter 77 Little Servant Zhou Meimei

? "In the words of the prince, the little one's name is Zhou Meimei," the child replied cautiously,

As soon as he heard the word beauty, he reminded Wang that he would show off a rich girl. How could a child in the bedroom be called such a girl's name one day? Could it be that Su Xiaomei was funny and let herself pay the public food again, so as not to go outside to pay the surplus food?

Wang Jun jumped out of bed and pulled Zhou Meimei to the window. His action was like carrying a chicken. Zhou Meimei suddenly woke up completely, opened the window, and the morning light shone into the room. Wang Jun looked carefully. This was obviously a boy. No matter how naughty Su Xiaomei was, she would not change her taste.

Looking at Zhou Meimei staring at herself in horror, Wang also felt that he seemed to be a little reckless just now,

He let go of Zhou Meimei: "How old are you? When did you come to my room?"

"The little one is 12 years old"

Child labor, a typical child laborer, Wang Bong was over 16 years old when he used Tong Guan and others as secretaries. Seeing that Wang Bong didn't speak, Zhou Meimei said, "Your Majesty, it's not a small thing to do something wrong."

"Oh, no."

When they spoke, the maids in the inner courtyard heard the noise and got up one after another. At this time, the people who came in were busy cleaning up the bedroom for the king. Some of them looked curiously at Zhou Meimei, who was standing in front of the king and bowed her head.

"How long have you been in the royal palace? Why don't you go to school?" Wang Fang changed his shorts and trousers during the morning exercise. Zhou Meimei has been serving her all the time. Although these things are done for the first time, she is quick to do things, and she is not inferior to the family members who serve all year round.

"Prince, I haven't been here for a few days. It happened that the family in your room had a sudden illness last night, so I took his place, and I was here last night, but the prince drank to the fullest and fell asleep when he came back, so..."

I did drink a lot of wine last night. At first, I felt that Lin Haozhi was a happy person. Later, he talked more and more happily. He also supported Lin Haozhi to talk about a lot of interesting stories of literati, doctors and prostitutes. Unexpectedly, he was also a layman. He saw the affairs and affairs of the world. Otherwise, he was righteous in the court, even Wang himself felt that life was too tired and monotonous. Occasionally, after listening to interesting things in the world, he suddenly seemed to return to the nature of the loser who had been suppressed for a long time. It was inevitable that she was not happy,

"Ha ha, sure enough, well, you will be in my room in the future, Meimei... This name is Tai Niang, and I will call you Xiao Zhou in the future."

How did Zhou Meimei come from? How did she come to be a servant at such a young age? There must be some twists and turns. Wang now understands that other people's stories are other people's stories, so he will not ask what the child's situation is. In short, if he is a smart child, he will go back to a child of the same age to be a book boy. At least it can make him suffer from some cultural influence,

Xiao Zhou was flattered and said quickly, "Thank you, my lord."

Wang didn't know whether he thanked him for leaving him to do something or changing his name. Since then, there has been a servant named Xiao Zhou in Wang's room.

stretching muscles and bones, running circles, practicing swords, the sky is bright, and the king's mind is getting clearer and clearer. Other things are easy to say, but Lu Shenyan said that the things distributed by the court are uneven, Liu Qi's overturned apportionment, and some things mentioned by Lin Haozhi seem to be related,

After breakfast, Wang came to Wang Anshi Mansion. When he heard that his father had entered the palace, he was not in a hurry to go back. First, he went to greet his mother, and then visited Wang Yuanze, who was still secretly happy because of the emperor's marriage. He wanted to talk to Yuanze for a while, but he saw that he was not on business at all. From time to time, I was in a daze and thought about when to marry Miss Pang,

The nerd is getting more and more boring,

Wang Anshi's mansion is assigned by the court, and the area is not too small. It is easy to say that the political affairs are also a preparatory prime minister. The house has three entrances, a patio in the front and a garden in the back. The environment is very elegant. This kind of elegance suddenly makes the king feel a little leisurely. Every day in the royal palace, it is a business to do business. I can't expect that it is occasionally time-consuming. Instead of waiting for others, I feel a little more relaxed,

Yuan Ze finally woke up from the occasional daze. He hardly heard what the half-king said, "Brother, what you just said that Ali Gu bowed to you."

With a teacup next to Wang, he looked at the spring in the garden. Hearing Wang Yuanze ask himself, he smiled,

Wang Anshi came back very early. Today was not a court meeting, and he went to the palace to send a memorial. Moreover, he was not on duty in the political hall today. The two brothers next to the king came to the hall and saw Wang coming. Wang Anshi was happy from his heart.

"Why are you free today? If you come, you won't say it in advance, so that I don't have time to run away." Thinking of entering the palace today, Wang Anshi felt a little untimely,

"It's always what my parents should do. Recently, I have to ask my father for advice."

Wang Anshi narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang with joy and relief: "Is it that after Mr. Hou left, there are fewer shogunate who can communicate around him? If so, I will recommend a few talented people to you later."

"I'd better ask you directly about this..." Wang Bian told Wang Anshi about several things he had heard recently. Wang Anshi narrowed his eyes and listened. When Wang Bian finished speaking, he nodded: "You see, this is what I said in the Wanyan book. In fact, this question has existed for a long time, but now it is getting more and more serious. It seems that it is a matter of change. It's already urgent."

"Please ask your father to talk about it in detail."

When Wang Anshi said this, he would start from the disdainful shipping department in Lu Shenyan's words,

The establishment of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, a glass of wine released the military power, reformed the imperial examination, ruled the country with culture, learned the lessons of the soldiers of the Tang and Han Dynasties, and stored millions of troops in the capital. The implementation of these measures also increased the financial expenditure of the central government, so as to form a situation of "redundant officers, redundant troops and redundant fees". For this reason, the Northern Song Dynasty had to devote itself to transportation. For the development of career, the so-called "the country is the most urgent and the most important thing in the Caos" Song Dingdu Kaifeng. Contrary to the Han and Tang Dynasties in Chang'an or Luoyang, they chose "four square meters out of the ground, and all roads are gathered together". The dangerous "four rushes and eight places" of unknown mountains and rivers is mainly because Kaifeng is the intersection of many rivers and canals, which can be smoother than Chang'an and Luoyang. A good solution to grain transportation,

There are two departments to solve the problem of Caoyun: First, the three departments carry out the administrative macro leadership of Caoyun, that is, to determine the category of materials, the quantity required to be transported, supervise the Caoyun agencies in various places, etc. In the other hand, the local Caoyun management agency is the transshipment department and the shipping department, and the chief of the shipping department is the shipping envoy, and the shipping department is set up There are departments such as bank discharge, unloading, distribution, reminder, etc., in order to carry out timely delivery, collection and transfer of transportation materials. The third division (household department) is responsible for issuing the amount, type and exemption of transportation. According to the various transportation requirements issued by the three divisions, the shipping department orders the Southeast Sixth Road transshipment division to handle the collection task.

Well, here's the point,

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the policy of "strong cadres and weak branches" has been implemented. Nearly one million troops have been concentrated in Bianjing and the peripheral areas alone. In order to meet this huge consumer group, it is necessary to transport materials from the downstream production areas of the Yangtze River. The usual practice is to set up a shipping department to preside over this work.

However, due to the lack of ventilation, the authority of the shipping department is not large. It does not understand the storage in the capital and the demand for various materials, nor does it have the right to supply goods on the road, resulting in a disconnect in management. The supplies on each road are transported according to a fixed number every year. The harvest year does not increase, and the disaster does not decrease, which is very rigid.

There is a situation that some materials far away from the capital are expensive and still have to be supplied according to quantity, while the same material prices in places close to the capital are much cheaper but do not need to be supplied. There are also cases where local officials deduct from the materials provided above and transfer the burden to the people by increasing other taxes. At the same time, because some materials needed by the Beijing Normal University are often taken from places that are not rich, or forcibly collected in the disaster year, rich businessmen take the opportunity to enter, control the market and make huge profits,

This has caused several questions: the supply system on the road is too rigid and lacks reasonable planning; although the supply has a fixed amount, the consumption is unpredictable, resulting in unnecessary waste; when the demand is large, the timely and full supply cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the shipping department levies taxes from the people to transfer and change, and buys. Not based on the actual situation of property and supply and demand, or not to produce more, or to buy more, it not only multiplied the burden on farmers, but also provides an opportunity for rich businessmen to manipulate prices to make huge profits, and to increase the government's financial expenditure in vain,

Take what happened to the king: If the court wants to give welfare, you can ask the shipping envoy to buy it, but the original big merchants who made cloth deliver goods to the court to the court for profite and have to bribe the officials. In order to get the rebate, these officials allow the cloth merchants to transport the cloth to the capital, which will cost a lot of transportation fee, and the freight is paid by the court. The money for buying cloth is also paid by the court,

And the tea paid tribute to the tea house is another thing. The official fortune of Sansi, who is responsible for the transportation, thought of the tea and waved it with a big pen, or to please the Zhennan Palace. This is unknown.

As for the problem Lin Haozhi encountered, it is even more so. How can the cost of goods transported to the capital by himself be lower than that of goods transported to the capital by Cao Cao? In addition, the real tax is indeed what Lin Haozhi said. The merchants joined forces with officials to manipulate the market. No wonder most people only see The phenomenon, but I didn't see the real question in it,

After Wang Anshi said this, Wang Pian completely understood,

"I remember that my father's equal loss method is to change this situation." Wang Yuanze said with some understanding,

"Brother, you didn't think of it, did you?"

"Your Majesty, you have thought of it, but your way of thinking is also different from that of your father."

What Wang Yuanze said was right. Wang's side supported Wang Anshi's change at the beginning, but when a few things came down, Wang side felt more and more that some of them could not let Wang Anshi follow the old way.

"Why, after listening to so many of the shortcomings of the shipping department now, do you still have any objection to the equal loss method?" Wang Anshi looked at Wang in surprise,

There is an objection. Wang Anshi's plan of equal transmission method is to set up a shipping envoy to manage the tax income of the southeast six roads, and grasp the supply and demand situation. All purchases, taxes and supplies can be "quire to cheap, use near and far", which is equivalent to the imperial court turning the shipping department into one of the largest purchases. Do it, is this good? Maybe Wang has some ideas in his heart at present, even Wang Anshi's different ideas,
