"Thank you all for your hard work." Wang Ju bowed to all the sea guests and said.

In winter, Quanzhou Port becomes deserted. Quanzhou is mainly a ship that goes to the South China Sea, so during this season, it often leaves the port with the help of the monsoon and heads south, or those ships that need maintenance are on the dock for maintenance.

Only a small number of ships run from Goryeo, Japan.

However, the Song Dynasty's economy has always been relatively rich, so there is a great demand for wood, so Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister, sent people to run the timber business. So after Wang Ju's promotion, many ships were changed to Mizhou Port. After all, it was a raft on the sea, which was very risky. The longer the distance spanned, the more accidents there were. The most funny thing was a maritime merchant who sent several ships to pull the rafts. Suddenly the sea wind direction changed and became a typhoon in the southeast. As a result, it was forced to blow to Yingzhou of Liao Kingdom in less than a day. If it was blown south, it would be better if the ship could not be controlled. If it drifted to Haizhou or Chuzhou, there would be a way to unload these rafts. However, when it drifted to Liao Kingdom, the maritime merchant was tragic.

Finally, he paid countless fines and threw down the wooden raft before he put his boat back.

Of course, it was an accident. In general, the probability of a safe arrival in Hong Kong is more than 90%. As long as you arrive in Hong Kong safely, you will make huge profits.

There were many smart people in this era. With the prosperity of Mizhou Port, some people invented a flat-bottomed sea boat. It was not very big and had shallow drafts, usually between one thousand and two thousand materials. Then, the wood was loaded and unloaded from Mizhou Port onto this flat-bottomed ship. After spring, they followed the monsoon and followed the tide to the sea estuary with the tide, and then directly arrived from Wuzhang River to the capital. This made Wuzhang River suddenly prosperous.

But in winter, Quanzhou has become relatively deserted. Apart from a small amount of precious boards, what are the remaining Goryeo, Goryeo secret colors, Goryeo silk and Japanese sword fans? How much space can it occupy?

To put it bluntly, whether it is Korean silk, celadon, or Japanese sword fans, there are also many more outstanding than them. It is just because they are foreign products, so they have a certain sales channel under curiosity.

But Wang Ju did not slacke in his slackness either.

Since he came to Quanzhou, he has also brought some of the policies of Qingzhou.

For example, simplify and other commercial taxes.

The Maritime Bureau's withdrawal was 10 to 1. Wang Ju made a new rule, starting from more than 20,000 guan. The tax rate for more than 20,000 guan is 9% and more than 40,000 guan is 8% and more than 60,000 guan is 7% and more than 80,000 guan is 6%. Those with more than 100,000 guan are 5%. Don't be wary of combining goods with each other. Anyway, as long as you can get 100,000 guan, no matter how many companies it is, it is 5%.

Use this to induce everyone to pay taxes on their own initiative, rather than smuggling.

Although there are no tax payments in smuggling, there are too many shady stories. Like the private salt in Gyeongju, it requires bribery of officials and yamen runners, and unloading goods at sea, tides and winds are coming and going, which is very dangerous. Some underworld organizations have emerged. The government has repeatedly banned them.

Now when the tax rate is reduced in disguise by half and the actual extraction reaches 20 to 1, it will not make much sense to smuggle again.

Therefore, the tax rate has dropped, and the tax of the Maritime Bureau has not decreased, but has gradually increased.

Commercial tax is still the commercial tax rate in Gyeongju. The more commercial goods, the lighter the tax rate. There is only one tax in this state, and outside this state, there can only be two taxes. But no matter who, you must pay taxes.

The last one will make some powerful people very upset.

But as time goes by, under the promotion of Wang Ju, various industries have flourished and their returns are greater than before.

Wang Ju also taught the people to breed pearls, kelp, shrimps, and pearls have not yet seen the benefits, but kelp and shrimps have seen the benefits. Quanzhou is originally a place with few fields and many people. Every time an industry comes out, it means feeding more people.

Therefore, these powerful men gradually stopped talking. No matter what, Wang Ju is indeed a good official.

In fact, it is just a problem of inertia. It is like Chu Jianzhong replaced Wang Ju to Qingzhou. In fact, he did a good job and attached importance to border defense. The Xia people thought that Wang Ju had left and might be able to get a bargain. However, seeing Chu Jianzhong's various arrangements, he didn't dare to make any decisions about Hengshan.

However, he did not want to disturb the people, but as a result, the old situation in Qingzhou soon relapsed. Some profitable merchants and powerful men were happy and ashamed. They benefited from this, but they were ashamed of Wang Ju's original teachings. As for the others, they were not satisfied. In addition, the disaster came, and the people opposed it together. The court had no choice but to let Fan Chunren replace it. Fan Chunren was not good. If Chu Jianzhong had not taken over in the middle, maybe Fan Chunren would add icing on the cake, which would make Qingzhou better. However, Chu Jianzhong restored Qingzhou Yuan again, and Fan Chunren did not want to learn from Wang Ju, so he would not have made up the trouble. As a result, the people were still disappointed, but now Zanggu is no longer in Huanzhou. If there is, there will probably be no situation where the people jumped into the river for it.

This is the role of inertia.

But Wang Ju did not launch that development fund, and there were not enough talents in his hands. Although he was cultivating more talents, the overseas stalls expanded faster. Secondly, Wang Ju did not want the imperial court to learn and promoted them to the whole country.

Otherwise, Quanzhou will develop faster.

The other one is that other officials cannot imitate Jiao. Others have that big finger. Therefore, learning from Fan Chunren may become an excellent local official. If they learn from Wang Ju, they will not be able to do it well, but they will become a dog without becoming a dog!

In addition, it is the importance of maritime businessmen.

Under his organization, the seamen gradually formed a group.

Including the seamen on Dashi, Wang Ju also asked them to join forces. After all, there are many pirates in the South China Sea, and these pirates pose greater threat to sea merchants than later pirates.

Then, whenever Wang Ju was in the state yamen, he immediately invited all the ship owners to welcome the air and dust.

Whether it is Chinese or foreign, this trade has had a great impact on the local economy.

So an elder stood up and toasted, saying, "When the Ming Duke first came to Quanzhou, everyone heard that the people of Qingzhou had written millions of people, and everyone was looking forward to it. Who would have expected that when the Ming Duke came to Quanzhou, he took many measures to make the people uneasy, and it has not been until today. He realized that the Ming Duke's intention was long-term. The old man suddenly realized that Zichan ruled Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was in power for one year, the people hated him, but the prodigal son did not dare to play frivolously, the elderly did not have to bear heavy burdens, and the children did not have to go to the fields to farm. Two years ago, the people complained about it, but the market was fair and they dared not hoard it anymore. Three years later, the people were finally happy, and they did not close their doors at night, and did not pick up their remains on the road. Zichan passed away, and the people of the whole country cried bitterly, saying, Who do the people rely on in the future? Ming Duke should be my son Chan of the Song Dynasty."

Zichan's deeds were a bit far away. In fact, Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng later also had this characteristic, with strict law enforcement. However, although strict, they were fair and upright, so the people did not complain and the country was able to be ruled.

To some extent, it can be said that Wang Ju is from their lineage. Although Wang Ju is actually a little different except for the golden finger.

But modesty is always something that Wang Ju smiled and said, "Brother Wen, you are too complimenting. Don't talk about governing the country, even if you govern Quanzhou, after three years, I dare not say that all the people will not close their doors at night and not pick up their own remains."

Wang Ju still focuses on compromise. If he is allowed to stay in Gyeongju, he can do it. In fact, when Wang Julin left Gyeongju, this kind of gratifying phenomenon had almost occurred.

However, the situation is different. In Qingzhou, Wang Ju's prestige is too high and the government orders are easy to implement. However, can it be achieved in Quanzhou?

Of course, we can't take it seriously when we carry the flower sedan chair.

But the old man surnamed Wen suddenly changed his voice and asked, "I heard that Ming Gong is leaving Quanzhou?"

"Who said that?" Wang Ju asked alertly.

"Mr. Zeng wrote a letter to ask his family to inquire about Ming Gong's actions... Mr. Zeng wanted to recommend Ming Gong. After hearing this, although we were happy for Ming Gong, we really felt reluctant to let it go." The old man surnamed Wen said the actual words.

Although Wang Ju's various actions were not well understood by the local tyrants in Quanzhou, they all knew that once a magistrate came, Quanzhou might not have this new atmosphere again.

Wang Ju was confused: "Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Gong is Zeng Gongliang, and he is from Quanzhou.

However, Zeng Gongliang and Wang Ju don’t have a deep friendship, so why should I recommend myself?

This was caused by Zhao Xu's inquiry.

Wang Ju and Zeng Gongliang have not had a deep friendship, but they have no hatred. Moreover, in terms of political philosophy, Zeng Gongliang and Wang Ju are similar, and do not reject reforms, but only reject Wang Anshi's reforms.

At that time, Zeng Gongliang thought of Wang Ju.

To guard against the Khitan invasion, one must have a military-knowledge minister.

To establish border troops and train imprisonment soldiers, you must have a minister who understands military affairs. This is true. There are not many ministers who really understand. It is impossible to put Lao Cai down. Wang Shao also has to supervise Hehuang in Xifu. So who else besides Wang Ju?

In fact, he really forgot about another person.

Moreover, Wang Ju also has a good idea in terms of economy and administration. If Wang Ju is allowed to take charge of Ding Mansion, everything will be solved.

However, what made Zeng Gongliang worried was that Wang Ju had a tough personality. This was Hebei, not Shaanxi and Fujian. How many powerful people were there? Just like Cheng Fang, Wen Yanbo took action to force him to death. In fact, it was not only Wen Yanbo, but he was in charge of water conservancy, how to compensate for the submerged arable land, and tried every means to encroach on the newly obtained arable land. After agreeing, this water conservancy became a toy for the powerful. If he did not agree, he offended a large group of powerful people. Cheng Fang was also humble, but he was not humble enough, so he offended a large group of people. He first forced him to retreat to Luoyang, and then went to Hebei with the recommendation of Wang Ju. However, this time he forced him to death...

Cheng Fang is like this, Wang Ju will still do this. Don’t think that there are many powerful people and powerful people in the house. The most famous one is Mrs. Cao’s Cao family.

If it is not done well, there will be a huge storm and in the end it will be lost in the evening.

So Zeng Gongliang said it vaguely in the memorial, and appointed a general, but he did not mention that general.

But this matter is more urgent.

Therefore, he used a quick message to notify his relatives in his hometown in Quanzhou and asked about Wang Ju's movements.

The Qingzhou area is not counted. In that great victory, the people were all grateful for it, so it was easy to govern. Only in Quanzhou area can count. Although there are not as many powerful people as Hebei, there are also many powerful people. Moreover, the people from Fujian are more fierce. Let’s see how Wang Ju governs it and how the people and the powerful people evaluate it. If they do well, Zeng Gongliang dares to recommend it.

With this tiger in charge of Hebei, even if the Liao Kingdom is not afraid and comes to invade, it may not be able to get it. Then nothing will happen.

This matter spread.

Not everyone is reluctant to leave, but everyone here is definitely reluctant to leave.

However, how could such a capable official be buried in Quanzhou?

When the old man surnamed Wen spoke, he had a congratulation and a melancholy...

But they were also wrong, Wang Jucai didn't want to leave Quanzhou.

After the banquet, everyone will disperse.

Qiong Niang said, "Official, I will really leave Quanzhou this time."

“Why?”

"Duke Jiefu was dismissed from prime minister. Now the prime minister is Duke Han, and the deputy prime minister is Lu Jifu. One has a relationship with you and the other has a friendship with you. If you are recommended by Mr. Zeng, the official will inevitably leave Quanzhou. Besides, those who have the same contribution as you are, Wang Shao serves as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Zhang Zihou serves as the envoy of the Third Division, and the official is only the governor of Quanzhou. Isn't it unknown?"

"That may not be the case," Wang Ju said.

No matter how old it is, whether it is seniority or credit, at least Wang Ju must be better than Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing, and as good as Wang Shao. At least, he is better than Kumamoto. Even Kumamoto has given him a third-rank court ward, but what about Wang Ju?

Wang Ju shook his head: "Otherwise, if Zhang Zihou had not had the ability to put out the fire, how could he get the Three Sessions?"

This incident was very sensational.

Although it rained after summer this year, there was little rain in general, and September is even more important when things are in a hurry.

Song Di, the judge of the Sansi, was on duty in the Sansi. He was probably feeling uncomfortable and asked his subordinates to cook medicine for him. I don’t know what happened, which caused a fire.

Moreover, the fire quickly grew bigger. Zhao Xu stood in the West Corner Tower and watched, wishing he could jump down to put out the fire by himself.

This is the national treasury of the three sects. How much does it cost to burn it?

The Sansi Treasurer is located in the west of the imperial city, and there are military camps to the west. Some military generals' houses, such as Pan Mei and Yang Ye's homes, are all in this area, including many workshops in the military weapon supervision.

Just as everyone was stunned, Zhang Dun summoned craftsmen and soldiers to come to put out the fire.

If it weren't for Zhang Dun, he wouldn't know how much it would lose in the end. Even so, he burned 1,080 houses, and the wealth and document were damaged. He burned Zhao Xu to the point of pain. In anger, he demoted all the three senators Yuan Jiang, Song Di and others, and then replaced the three senators with Zhang Dun.

In other words, without this fire, Zhang Dun was still in charge of military weapon supervision. Although at Wang Yun's suggestion, military weapon supervision is now higher than the previous military weapon supervision, even above the Kapok Division.

As for Han Jiang, Wang Ju did not offend Han Jiang, but he did not really give up much credit to Han Jiang in Qingzhou. Why did Han Jiang promote Wang Ju?

As for Lu Huiqing, it’s really hard to say. Even if he promotes Wang Ju, he won’t worry about important positions. He is about to be independent... How can he let Wang Ju threaten his status?

However, if Zeng Gongliang was recommended by him, it would be hard to say.

Why did Zeng Gongliang recommend himself?

Wang Ju suddenly realized after thinking hard for a long time: "Where is the north?"

Can I go to Hebei Road? It’s better to go to Lingnan in advance. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
