This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 52 I can make the Third Division collapse

In less than half an hour, dozens of grain merchants gathered along the Cai River.

The Marquis of Dingyuan and the officials stood up and left, and the officials came up to preside over the ceremony.

"Toughness is useful when dealing with businessmen, but the most useful thing is to drive them away with profit." Li Xian said to Zhao Zhen, "The same is true for ministers."

If Zhao Zhen realized something, "What about treating the people?"

"Of course the people should do the same." Li Xian saw a businessman signing a contract and saluted him ecstatically. There was a trace of disgust between his eyebrows, and then he smiled and nodded, "For example, the government wants to implement a certain policy that is against the people. There is a beneficial strategy, but the people are uneducated, have little information, or are ignorant, so they resist. At this time, using advantage to drive it away is a sharp weapon."

He suddenly looked at Zhao Zhen with complicated eyes, "But remember, don't abuse it. Although the people have not read books, they have the simplest and simplest way of judgment. If you deceive them again and again, the consequences will be the emperor and the emperor." The credibility of the DPRK has collapsed, and in the future, even if we cry out to the heaven and the earth, the people will turn a deaf ear."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Li Xian ruffled his hair, "A 14-year-old boy is learning to govern a country, which is to encourage the growth of the country. I would rather see you sitting in the school, following the teacher's voice, shaking your head and reciting Poems and songs.”

"But this is my life." Zhao Zhen licked his lips, actually envious of such days.

Please see someone later.

"Say it's Zhang Quan and Han Xi." Wang He's eyes were cold. With just one word from Li Xian, he could throw those two meritorious deeds into the Cai River.

"I didn't want to see it, but since you are here, I might as well let you see it." Li Xian nodded.

Zhang Quan and Han Xi came, and when they saw Zhao Zhen there, they were startled and re-evaluated the relationship between Zhao Zhen and Li Xian.

"What's going on?" Li Xian was looking at the boat in the river. There were boatmen playing and playing on the boat.

"I'm two reckless people." Zhang Quan slyly characterized what he did as reckless, "I know I was wrong."

"So, what do you want?" Li Xian asked.

"I am willing to share the worries of the officials." Zhang Quan's eyes were sincere, "I have a large fleet of vehicles at home, and I know the road to the frontier fortress very well, and I will not go wrong with my eyes closed."

Li Xian nodded casually, Zhang Quan and Han Xi were overjoyed, saluted, and hurried over.The official presiding over there glanced at this and immediately refused.

Zhang Quan was furious and scolded the officials, "The marquis nodded, how dare you, a subordinate official, to make things difficult for me?"

"Why did the Marquis ever agree?" the official asked.

"Just now..." Zhang Quan pointed to where Li Xian was just now, but there was no one there at the moment.

He stood still.

Behind him, Han Xi said: "He is teasing me. He..."

"He is venting his anger for the official family. I have never seen anyone venting his anger so shamelessly. Where is the reserve? Where is the aristocratic cultivation?" Zhang Quan roared, "Dingyuan Marquis, Lord Marquis, I regret it, I regret it !”

No one knows why Zhang Quan is so desperate.

But what followed was a drop in tea prices.

On the way to court, Wang Qinruo accepted the old woman's apology, but soon after the old woman learned that the incident was caused by Dingyuan Marquis, she immediately turned her back.

The emotions of ordinary people always come directly, but the prime ministers and assistants are different. They must have the courage to face it.

"He underestimated the power behind those meritorious deeds." Cao Li said calmly: "Killing people is just a nod, but that person wants to humiliate people. Zhang Quan and others will have to pay the price even if they squander their family wealth."

Just after Zhao Zhen's tea talk was resolved, some businessmen regretted it for various reasons.

"They said that [-]% profit was too little. As for the cattle and sheep trade privileges, Zhang Quan and others contacted the cattle and sheep merchants and cried out about Dingyuan Hou's discrimination against the merchants. Things harm their own kind, and the merchants began to join forces."

Businessmen in Bianjing were talking a lot.

Zhao Zhen came to ask for advice on how to deal with it.

"I said that when dealing with businessmen, you must use profit to drive them away." Li Xian coughed dryly, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his fingers.

Zhao Zhen's cheeks trembled, "Here, bring that painting."

After receiving the painting, Li Xian admired it first and said: "This matter is quite simple. They say they share the same hatred with the enemy, but I bet that most businessmen are intimidated by the majesty and power of the leader, so it is difficult to refuse. In this case, I Then I gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse.”

"what?"

"Bidding!"

Throw out the bidding method, and the half-day quota will be filled up.The final ending is speechless.

"The lowest quotation is [-]% profit. This alone can save tens of thousands of dollars every year." The three envoys looked at Li Xian with hot eyes, "Queen Mother, I have an unkind request. "

"Say." The Queen Mother was in a good mood.

"Maybe Marquis Dingyuan will come to serve in the Third Division?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Li Xian and smiled when she saw the guy's impatient expression, "I think so too, but forcing a cow to drink water and press it on its head is not the way of a gentleman after all."

Li Xian would naturally not work in the Third Division. In his eyes, it was not because he was not interested.

"If I go, those idiots will be mad to death." Li Xian glanced at Zhao Zhen and said maliciously: "If I go to the Third Division, your life will not be easy in the future."

The methods of tendering, especially the secret bidding method, were amazing. The three divisions learned a lot about it. Some people even went to the Cai River to ask Li Xian for advice when he came out for a walk.

"My husband is not free!"

Wang He refused coldly, and the visitor couldn't even get close to Li Xian.

"This matter has passed." A young man was eating fast food by the river. He raised his head after hearing this, "I bet that this little official came here because of the superior. If he returns without success, this person will definitely be blamed by the superior. Tangtang Marquis Dingyuan, why bother this man?"

Li Xian was sitting on the other side drinking iced mung bean soup. He glanced at the young man and said, "But if I agree to him and teach him the relevant knowledge, it will have an impact on the structure of the Third Division. At that time, the officials of the Third Division will Who do you hate? How can a small official stand up to the opposition of his colleagues?"

The young man was startled and said with a smile: "I know that Marquis Dingyuan is a great talent, but he said that his knowledge can make the structure of the three divisions fall apart, but I don't believe it."

"Why do I need you to believe me?" Li Xian said calmly.

The young man came over, saluted, and said with bright eyes: "Please give me some advice from the Marquis. If the Marquis can convince me, I would like to become your disciple."

"Don't you think you are a bit thick-skinned?" Li Xian was a little dumbfounded.

Wang He said coldly: "How many people in Bianjing City want to become Lang Jun's disciples? This is an opportunity that no one else can find even with a lantern, but you have the audacity to use it as a bargaining chip."

The young man said loudly: "I am not talented. If the Marquis feels that I am not worthy of being my disciple, I will be willing to wear my hair and go to the mountains to become a disciple."

"You are not ashamed of your words." Li Xian smiled and was in a good mood, so he said casually: "In my opinion, the Third Division is a bloated zombie. If you mention the shortcomings of the Third Division, you can talk about it all day. So I will Let’s briefly talk about the disadvantages of the three divisions in charge of money and food.”

He took the tea from Xinghua and took a sip, "The Third Division controls money and food, and the greatest power is reflected in purchasing. This consumes a lot of money every year. It also supports a huge number of officials within the Third Division. I dare It is asserted that no less than [-]% of the officials in the Third Division will be corrupted due to this."

The young man glanced at the clerk and was startled when he saw the clerk's ghostly look.

"What should we do?" said the young man: "It is natural to punish corruption, but it cannot be said to cause the structure of the Third Division to fall apart!"

"Simple." Li Xian took a sip of tea and watched the boats passing by with a calm mind. "Incorporate purchasing into the rules."

"What rules?"

"At the beginning of each year, the yamen at all levels, including the palace, propose the types and quantities of supplies needed for this year. The three departments calculate it, and then the palace, the third department, the Yushitai, etc. jointly investigate the market prices of various materials, and finally compile a list."

The junior official's expression changed dramatically, but the young man's eyes were filled with brilliance, "This is a great way to avoid a lot of corruption. The Marquis is good at it, but it's just not very interesting."

This young man was interesting, and Li Xian smiled, "Then the Third Division took action and purchased these materials from the entire Song Dynasty through bidding. The delivery period, quantity, and quality were all listed in the contract. Tell me, San How many officials can be saved and how much expenses can be saved."

The little official screamed strangely, "I didn't hear anything, little guy." Then he ran away.

This is digging into the roots of Sansi. If he dares to take these words back, many people within Sansi will kill him.

"Tendering?" The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, I just heard that the Marquis held a tender. Everyone wrote down the price in their mind and handed it over. The one with the lowest price got it. How wonderful!
I heard that some people used their connections to monopolize the material purchase of the third company. In this way, the disadvantages were eliminated.

But Lord Marquis, where the benefits lie, those people will definitely come up with ways to check and balance the bidding, such as monopolizing the supply of certain goods and doing exclusive business.Or use threats and inducements to participate in tenders with a group of businessmen and secretly control prices. "

Bid-rigging tactics were common in later generations, but this young man could instantly think that Li Xian admired this person, "What's your name?"

"I am willing to admit defeat. I also admire the Marquis's knowledge. So..." The young man saluted, "Wen Yanbo, I have met you sir!"
