In Xie Chen's eyes, Wang Ju was the most awesome official in the Song Dynasty. He was able to be civil and military, and loved the people as his sons. Wherever he passed, he was loved by the people. Therefore, he immediately rode a horse and left without saying hello, otherwise the people would be blocked from leaving. Wang Ju came to Guangnan, which was a blessing for the people of Guangnan, but these people were so ungrateful.

Wang Juran burst into laughter and asked, "Zizan, what can you think of if you think deeply?"

"Think deeply... The people will soon turn around the response to Zi'an. No, that is to think long, not deep, by the way, the people have limited knowledge."

"Although the people have limited knowledge, there is another thing you didn't expect, that is, the people's requirements are really not high."

"Yes, as long as the officials put a little thought on the people, the people will love it. Unfortunately, many officials can't even do this."

This is the product of the centralized system and the official-centered idea.

Therefore, officials are not parents, but masters. Even if they are good officials, they are also masters. In fact, in terms of internal governance, officials of the Song Dynasty did not do badly, even no less than those of officials a thousand years later.

Relatively speaking, the difference between the Song Dynasty was that of the clerks.

But in the Song Dynasty, how many officials could truly love the people as much as their sons?

What if this official-oriented idea is abolished?

Wang Ju had this idea either, but it was impossible to ban it in the Song Dynasty. It was already deeply rooted. Even if Wang Ju became the emperor, he would not dare to abolish this idea.

However, there are still many happy lands overseas, and there are still relatively few people, allowing all managers to carry out rough management. However, in the end, more and more people will flow over. Although it will not be like last year and the possible number this year, it will be decided in the future. Every year, many people will continue to rush overseas. Although the homeland is good, they have to live. In order to live, some extremely poor people have to leave their homes one after another.

When it reaches a certain level, this kind of rough management can no longer be carried out. As for the Song Dynasty's officials sent to manage, Wang Ju has not yet figured out how to deal with it.

But the Song Dynasty sent several officials to travel across the ocean on a boat, and could it really control such a vast area?

If that were the case, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, could use tofu to kill himself, and he could control himself. Why can't we even manage the Persian Governor's Office? It's just a year since we left it to the cannibals.

Therefore, we must formulate relevant legal systems. Wang Ju doesn't like the current system, so he can promote the people's cooking system? That's not democracy, but cooking yourself and the people, just like Su Jian, which harms others and yourself.

Moreover, the authoritarian system was lost. After decades, the overseas people were like the Murong tribe in Huanzhou. The whole overseas was in chaos.

In fact, Wang Ju still can't do many things even with his big fingers, but the problem is that he can't do this and can't avoid it.

This is really a problem.

Wang Ju suddenly thought of Wang Anshi who was asking for help in Jiangning. Wang Anshi did not have big fingers. Although there were all kinds of bad things in the reform, it was not easy for Wang Anshi to think about it seriously.

The overseas area is not in a hurry yet, Wang Ju said again: "If you love the people as your son, what kind of people are the people? The literati and powerful officials, the local tyrants, the local tyrants, middle peasants, or the poor people? Even if you treat them as people, what kind of ability do you have to have to bring this bowl of water equally?"

"It's really difficult... Zi'an, this is a matter. In decades, this situation will happen there." Xie Chen also thought of overseas.

Nowadays, most of the people who migrate are extremely poor, and they are funded first. Everyone is on the same starting line, but after decades, the situation of each household will be uneven like that of the Song Dynasty.

As long as there is a serious suspension, various sharp contradictions will arise.

If you don’t say anything else, just talk about this people. How can you be fair?

Just like Wang Ju knew that the harm of annexation was getting worse in the Song Dynasty, he did not obviously crack down on the annexation. On the contrary, he kept making concessions with the powerful and powerful people. When he left, he instructed Ge Shaohua to make further concessions.

This is just a state, and wouldn’t it be even more difficult to place it in a country that is big?

The two of them were silent for a while, but they heard the discussion outside the window.

Wang Ju entered the inn, and of course, more people also learned the news, and some people were talking about it.

Not all of them said bad things about Wang Ju. There were also some well-informed people who heard a lot of rumors about Wang Ju and thought that Wang Ju was a good official, but Su Jian misunderstood.

Among them, there were two people who were arguing, speaking local language, but Wang Ju couldn't understand it...

Xie Chen's face suddenly changed drastically and he cursed: "These unruly people."

About one of them said something very unpleasant.

"Zizan, don't get angry. In fact, this is a good thing. Only when the people have low expectations for me can they achieve political achievements. If the expectations are high, just like when I first came to Quanzhou, I will be difficult to do things, do things, and hate them. It will not be better until the next year." Wang Ju persuaded, just curse, and the officials are criticized by others. Even if they are bad officials, there will be people who love them. Even if they are good officials, there will be people who will scold them.

However, the Song Dynasty is so good that it is here, and it has not blocked everyone's mouths, which is also a disguised supervision.

"I really want to ask his name. In another year, I will see how he evaluates Ming Gong."

Although Su Jian died in Yongzhou, he left a strong footprint, and Wang Ju will inevitably leave a stronger footprint, not Yongzhou, but the entire Guangnan.

It has nothing to do with military affairs. Since you have made a strategy, there will be people's livelihood and economy...

The east wind blew, and a huge fleet came from the sea in the distance. The officials of the Maritime Department were busy with the yamen runners. Such a large fleet would mean that it would bring countless taxes and a large amount of spices and pearls.

Gao Wenxiu put his hands on his eyes and asked his subordinates with his eyes squinted: "Our eyes are not very good, but the Quanzhou fleet is here."

This sentence has a historical background.

The Song Dynasty Maritime Warehouse Department was divided into four places, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou Bay and Mizhou.

Mizhou was established after Wang Ju's recommendation. In fact, there is no Wang Ju, and there will be Maritime Warehouses in Mizhou, but that will be a little later.

Hangzhou Bay is not one in Hangzhou. It is divided into three parts: Xiuzhou, Mingzhou and Hangzhou. There are several places. There are often five or six places, and sometimes one or two places are banned, so there are only three or four places. The biggest change is Xiuzhou.

Although there are many Hangzhou Bay Shipping Services, the largest ones are still Guangzhou and Quanzhou.

This is also a product of the times.

The Tang Dynasty was originally in Guangzhou. Because the Tang Dynasty prohibited people from going abroad, most of the maritime merchants were foreigners. Dashi and the maritime merchants in the South China Sea, and some foreigners began to settle in Guangzhou. Later, the Tang Dynasty split. Although the Southern Han Dynasty had a foolish generation, they still valued the Maritime Managers, after all, it could bring a lot of income.

Therefore, foreigners often sailed their ships into Guangzhou Port for trading.

Quanzhou Port came from behind because of the Tang Dynasty, but it was not that the people were not allowed to go abroad, but that was not that the people were not allowed to build ships. Later, Quanzhou's sea ship technology gradually surpassed the large-scale ships and the South China Sea ships, so there was a huge shipbuilding base. However, because the population of Fujian was too dense, it was a small land, mountains and terrain. In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, people went abroad to sea to make a living without permission.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began, and no one cared about it. The Song Dynasty also did not ban it, so more people went out to sea to make a living, including those who went overseas to do business. Their ships mostly sailed back to Quanzhou Port for transactions, which led to Quanzhou Port gradually coming from behind.

But without the changes brought by Wang Ju, the scale of the two ports seems to be. It was not until Wang Ju shifted his focus overseas and served as the governor of Quanzhou for four and a half years that Quanzhou Port officially replaced the position of Guangzhou Port as the number one Maritime Department.

However, some of Wang Ju's fleets were evacuated to Hangzhou, Mizhou and Guangzhou.

Other fleets have some smuggling activities, including large-scale ships and a very small number of local seafarers in Guangzhou. Even a small number of Quanzhou ships that have flocked to Guangzhou to trade. Especially the terrain of Guangzhou, there are more islands under Guangzhou Port now, Panyu, Zhongshan, Shunde, Jiangmen, Doumen, Zhuhai, and Macau, most of them are not connected to land, but islands of all sizes, and even thousands of islands are distributed outside the estuary of Guangzhou. There are many islands opposite to Guangzhou Port. This complex terrain also means that it is easier to smuggle, but the fleets under the names of Wang Ju and Yanzhou ten merchants have absolutely no smuggling activities.

Moreover, they were more than ten large sea ships, and the officials of the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau did not know the details, so they called the Quanzhou fleet.

A yamen runner looked into the distance.

The fleet came from the high tide, but at the end of the tide, otherwise the tide would be too fast at the top of the tide, and a dangerous impact would occur when mooring. Some sailors were lowering their sails, but some were flags of various colors floating on their masts, including many bright red flags.

The yamen runner said, "It's the Quanzhou fleet."

Because these fleets like to embroider the big "Song" character on the red flag, there is no such thing as a national flag, but it has become their symbol.

The yamen runner said again: "There are many ships."

"Are there many ships? Are there any full loads?"

"Most of them are full, dozens of ships of all sizes."

"Hurry, send someone to prepare a banquet." Gao Wenxiu said in surprise.

The fleet slowly entered the port.

Each ship was moored in sequence, with more than 80 ships of all sizes, including super giant ships that looked like giants.

There are quite a few ships entering and leaving Guangzhou Port in a year, but in terms of a single fleet, there has never been such a huge and spectacular fleet, so many people have come to watch on the shore.

Maybe I was afraid of something unexpected, so many sailors on some ships behind me were patrolling the side of the ship with knives.

More than a dozen managers got off the ship one after another.

Some people knew each other and immediately came over to pay tribute to Gao Wenxiu.

"Manager Meng, it seems that several Dongwen have made a fortune and have managed many new ships." Gao Wenxiu said.

"Where are other Dongwen participating," said Meng Jin, the leader, and then said: "Gaochuan envoy, but this cargo has a little special feature."

"Where is something special?"

"There are seven ships of pig iron in this cargo."

"Okay, I'm going to the south and I'm missing iron."

"No, this was deliberately brought back from overseas at the request of the envoy Wang Xuanfu. They would not unload the shore, but would immediately invite some river boats to load them into Guizhou."

In other words, the Maritime Bureau will not be able to remove these irons.

"This..." Gao Wenxiu looked reluctant. Seven ships of iron were just transferred, and he would have to earn tens of thousands of yuan. Only with income, he could be promoted. However, thinking that he would receive the imperial edict from the court soon, at least Wang Ju was not able to be punished, so he said reluctantly: "Okay. Then we can send someone to supervise it."

"It's better not to send someone to supervise. If you want to evade taxes, we have a hundred ways to avoid deduction..."

"Men Man, don't be too careful. Our family just sends people to take a look around and do the same."

"No, because these ships deliberately invited some overseas laborers."

"Overseas laborers?"

"The imperial army retreated, but Jiaozhi still had a huge army. Therefore, the prince planned to build two lines of defense in the south of Yongzhou."

"This is a must. Those jack-toe people are so scary," Gao Wenxiu said, stroking her chest.

"But the weather is getting hotter and it is also the season of labor. Therefore, the prince asked us to hire some people from overseas to help. They are not afraid of heat and their salaries are relatively low."

"They also have to work..." Gao Wenxiu suddenly covered his mouth. This is really uncontrollable, and there are many tricks.

"You can rest assured that the remaining goods are exhausted, so that you will not have to worry about this year," Meng Jin handed a long list of various goods on it, including some cured meat, precious wood boards, some pigments and dyes produced overseas, and more than a dozen ships of carbonite. Guangnan does not need carbonite for heating, but the people in the city also have to cook, so carbonite also has a market, and the price is not cheap, with a stone of more than 300 min.

Gao Wenxiu looked at the list and was so happy that she smiled, and suddenly asked, "Where is that?"

This is a commercial product for extraction, as well as spices, pearls and jade.

"It is what I will say next. This time we bring a lot of it. It is difficult for Guangzhou Maritime to eat it. We don't need silk and porcelain tea, but instead exchange it for some daily necessities. So after we sell the price, we have to trouble the high-speed ship to notify the capital. The inner warehouse ordered the preparation of relevant goods on Jinghu South Road or Jiangnan West Road, and then transported to Guangnan. You can take a look first," Meng Jin took out another list, which is various spices, corals, jades that can be recognized by the Song people, tortoiseshell and a small amount of sea beads, and the quantity, and the orders.
