"Open the inn!"
This was Lin Yi's idea long ago, long after Chen Jingzhi told him the cost of the movable type plate last time.
He went into the palace to discuss the matter with his father.
But at that time, the Minister of Revenue Ning Zimin shared the income equally, and he was so angry that he forgot about it.
But it would be more appropriate to bring it up now.
This will be his first battle to change the world and people's livelihood in Dayan.
"Isn't the inn open?" Song Zhong, the Minister of War, asked doubtfully.
Lin Yunhong and the courtiers looked at Crown Prince Lin Yi.
"The opening of the inn that Erchen mentioned is to open the door of the inn so that both people and merchants can enjoy the convenience brought by the inn."
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Lin Yunhong and said: "There are more than 5,000 and 600 Dayan Stations. They are only used for official documents and information transmission, and they have not been able to realize the potential of the station."
"My son once stayed in an inn. I saw the post manager opening his doors to scholars, collecting silver coins, and lining his own pockets. I also saw him squatting under the corner of the inn to take shelter from the rain during heavy rain, and he looked at the door without entering..."
"For the common people, the inn is a government inn. Except for officials and scholars, ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
"I believe that by opening the inn, people and businessmen can not only rest inside, but also enjoy the convenience of the inn!"
"Common people deliver letters and send and receive items. Merchants who escort the goods can hire post officers and soldiers to protect them, or the post station can use war horses to undertake the task of transporting goods for merchants."
"There are many unscrupulous scholars in Dayan, and there are also many warriors, bandits, and bandits. This is also the reason for the prosperity of private bodyguard bureaus. Scholars and warriors escort can scare the bandits and bandits, and can also make lawless scholars retreat when faced with difficulties. But Escort shipping is expensive and ordinary businessmen simply cannot afford it.”
"At this time, it is a good choice to entrust the post station with delivery, or to be escorted by the officers and soldiers of the post station. Bandits and scholars will most likely not dare to take action against the government. Moreover, the goods taken over by the post station can be escorted to any post station in Dayan .”
"The goods in the capital are transported continuously through the inns, and they are escorted from one inn to another, and the goods are not stopped..."
Lin also explained the blueprint of Dayan Post Office he constructed in an easy-to-understand manner.
His confident and calm voice filled the entire Fengtian Hall.
All the courtiers looked at His Highness the Crown Prince blankly, and their minds were shocked like never before.
The inn...can it still be like this?
Many courtiers thought about it and suddenly felt that it was feasible.
Even Lin Yunhong looked at Lin Yi with eyes full of relief and excitement. This is what the Crown Prince of Dayan should look like.
He dared to take action against the outdated rules of the past. He thought carefully about it. Once implemented, it would still be a good strategy to improve the national fortune.
But there are flaws.
"Brother Emperor..."
The Sixth Prince Lin Cong suddenly spoke and asked doubtfully: "My brother just heard from the emperor that the post station is open to scholars to collect silver and line their own pockets... If the inn station is opened, how will the money get to the court?"
"If the inns are liberalized, the number of inn officials will increase, which will also increase the court's expenses."
"In the end, the imperial court didn't see any money, but the officials at the post station were all filled with money."
Lin Cong seemed to suddenly have an idea, and he immediately discovered the disadvantages of this plan.
Several old princes breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince had not given up yet, and there was still a chance for a comeback.
"What His Highness the Sixth Prince said is absolutely true!"
"I think so too. It's inappropriate, it's still inappropriate..."
"If we really want to implement it, the postmasters at each post station must be trusted people..."
The courtiers thought it was feasible just now, but now that Lin Cong analyzed it like this, they felt it was not feasible.
How can we let those low-level officials whom we don't know make a lot of money?
This matter must be done by the descendants of their clan!
"What the Sixth Prince said is correct."
Lin Yi nodded towards Lin Cong in approval, looking like he was optimistic about you.
Then he looked around at the courtiers and sneered: "But just now a minister said that people who can be trusted should be the messengers. When I heard it, I knew that such ministers are ministers of villains!"
"In Gu's view, there is a difference between a gentleman's ministers and a villain's ministers. A gentleman's ministers are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, uphold justice, and reject evil. They can benefit the current world and be exiled in future generations."
"And the ministers of villains, who specialize in the emperor's heart, talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact they only know little tricks and cleverness. They are full of interests but have no plan in mind!"
Lin Yi looked at the old minister and gave him a slap in the face.
Thump!
The old minister's legs went weak and his face turned pale instantly.
Lin Yi retracted his gaze from the old minister, looked at his father Lin Yunhong, and said, "I have already found a way to deal with the problems mentioned by the sixth prince."
The courtiers were in an uproar.
Lin Cong was stunned for a moment and said that he didn't believe such a thing at all. Can the court control Yi Cheng's heart?
Lin Yunhong looked at Lin Yi expectantly.
Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "My son believes that the imperial court issues post tickets exclusively for inns, and the court prices them comprehensively based on the distance between the inns. The people can enjoy the convenience of the inns by purchasing the corresponding post tickets from the inns."
"The tickets sold at the post station must be matched with the money. At the same time, other post stations only recognize the tickets but not the officials who deliver the goods. This can prevent the officials at the inn station from colluding."
"The imperial court checks the post tickets and silver coins issued every month. If the amount exceeds a certain deviation, we will trace the source and uncover the corrupt officials!"
"In order to prevent the post officials from embarrassing the people, the imperial court will also implement a reward and punishment system for the post officials... The common people and businessmen will comment on the deeds of the post officials, and each county government will conduct monthly assessments. If the negative comments exceed a certain number, they will be dismissed and investigated. A post station with many positive reviews will get you a promotion or a salary increase!"
"..."
Lin Yi probably made some changes based on the logistics industry in his previous life.
After hearing his method, the courtiers whispered to each other and looked moved.
Lin Yunhong thought about it for a while and saw that it was feasible and indeed a good strategy.
'How could he have thought of such a method? I have been taught by scholars from the Hanlin Academy and the Cabinet, why can’t I, the prince, think of this? '
Lin Cong stared at Lin Yi blankly. He felt like he was in a snowy day in June, and his whole body was freezing. No matter how good the piano player was, he couldn't play his sadness, love, and mourning...
Just then.
Zhang Judong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said: "Your Highness, if you want to avoid private counterfeiting of this post ticket, you need to use some special means, which will cost a lot of money."
Lin Yixiao looked at Zhang Judong, took out a weekly newspaper from his sleeve robe, and scratched a mark on it with his nails.
Then he folded it in half and tore it off from the traces, and gave half of it to Zhang Judong.
When Zhang Judong was wondering, he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say: "Zhang Shangshu, how do you prove that the weekly newspaper in your hand is alone?"
Zhang Judong frowned and said: "Why does His Highness the Crown Prince humiliate the old minister? His Highness made... a mark in the weekly newspaper!"
Buzz!
Zhang Judong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, trembled and understood immediately after being reminded by Lin Yi.
The mother of the post ticket molecule.
The child ticket and the mother ticket are connected together to form a complete post ticket. Half of it is left at the post station as a stub, and the other half is kept by the common people.
This can be used as evidence when disputes arise and items are claimed.
At the same time, the post station has done a good job of registration. Once it is found that the post ticket is forged, the government can directly trace and arrest the person based on the registration information.
Zhang Judong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, bowed to Lin Yi with a solemn expression and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent, and I am ashamed of myself!"
Lin Yi returned the courtesy humbly and said with a chuckle: "Zhang Shangshu's words are serious, it's just a trivial plan."
Zhang Judong sighed: "His Royal Highness is so humble!"
He was completely convinced by the sudden airborne His Highness the Crown Prince.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, then turned around and bowed to Lin Yunhong and said: "If my father and the court officials feel that it is inappropriate or have doubts about the post station, the court can temporarily choose a place to conduct a small-scale trial. If the response is good, we can Implement nationwide!”
Lin Yunhong did not hesitate:
"allow!"
"Order the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs to jointly discuss the implementation of this policy and implement it as soon as possible. I want to see the results by the year at the latest!"
"Retreat!"
Lin Yunhong then stood up and left, but before leaving, he said to Lin Yi: "Prince, follow me to the imperial study!"
"Yes, Father!"
Lin Yi turned around, made eye contact with Yan Shuangwu, Zhao Tai, Chen Jingzhi and others, and followed them.
Only the sixth prince Lin Cong was left standing there blankly, feeling that the world was dark...
