第129章 瑾领转运使 (1/3)

麟德三年元月，新岁朝贺的钟磬余音犹在耳畔，一道明发天下的诏书，便如巨石投入朝堂这潭表面平静的湖水，激起了远比岁末“国帑增巨万”更汹涌、也更复杂的暗流。

“&nbp;制&nbp;曰&nbp;朕绍承鸿业，励精图治。&nbp;盐&nbp;铁&nbp;之&nbp;利，&nbp;国&nbp;之&nbp;大&nbp;柄；&nbp;漕&nbp;运&nbp;之&nbp;通，&nbp;民&nbp;生&nbp;所&nbp;系。&nbp;今专营初行，成效卓著，&nbp;为&nbp;求&nbp;长&nbp;策，&nbp;永&nbp;固&nbp;邦&nbp;本，&nbp;特&nbp;设&nbp;‘&nbp;诸&nbp;道&nbp;盐&nbp;铁&nbp;转&nbp;运&nbp;使&nbp;司’，&nbp;总&nbp;理&nbp;天&nbp;下&nbp;盐、&nbp;铁、&nbp;茶&nbp;榷&nbp;酤&nbp;之&nbp;政，&nbp;兼&nbp;领&nbp;漕&nbp;运、&nbp;市&nbp;舶&nbp;及&nbp;相&nbp;关&nbp;财&nbp;赋&nbp;转&nbp;输&nbp;事&nbp;宜。&nbp;兹事体大，&nbp;着&nbp;由&nbp;尚&nbp;书&nbp;左&nbp;仆&nbp;射、&nbp;同&nbp;中&nbp;书&nbp;门&nbp;下&nbp;平&nbp;章&nbp;事&nbp;李&nbp;瑾，&nbp;兼&nbp;领&nbp;诸&nbp;道&nbp;盐&nbp;铁&nbp;转&nbp;运&nbp;使，&nbp;全&nbp;权&nbp;处&nbp;置，&nbp;便&nbp;宜&nbp;行&nbp;事。&nbp;各&nbp;道、&nbp;州、&nbp;县&nbp;有&nbp;司，&nbp;并&nbp;所&nbp;辖&nbp;盐&nbp;场、&nbp;铁&nbp;监、&nbp;漕&nbp;司、&nbp;市&nbp;舶&nbp;等&nbp;官&nbp;吏，&nbp;皆&nbp;需&nbp;协&nbp;力&nbp;听&nbp;命，&nbp;不&nbp;得&nbp;有&nbp;误。**&nbp;钦此。”

诏书不长，但字字千钧。

“诸道盐铁转运使司”——这是一个全新的、前所未有的庞大机构。&nbp;它&nbp;不&nbp;仅&nbp;将&nbp;原&nbp;本&nbp;分&nbp;属&nbp;户&nbp;部、&nbp;工&nbp;部、&nbp;地&nbp;方&nbp;州&nbp;县&nbp;乃&nbp;至&nbp;内&nbp;侍&nbp;省&nbp;的&nbp;盐&nbp;铁&nbp;茶&nbp;等&nbp;专&nbp;营&nbp;权&nbp;力&nbp;高&nbp;度&nbp;集&nbp;中，&nbp;更&nbp;将&nbp;帝&nbp;国&nbp;的&nbp;经&nbp;济&nbp;动&nbp;脉&nbp;—&nbp;—&nbp;漕&nbp;运，&nbp;以&nbp;及&nbp;对&nbp;外&nbp;贸&nbp;易&nbp;的&nbp;窗&nbp;口&nbp;—&nbp;—&nbp;市&nbp;舶&nbp;司，&nbp;一&nbp;并&nbp;纳&nbp;入&nbp;囊&nbp;中。&nbp;其职权之重，涵盖之广，实权之大，&nbp;自&nbp;开&nbp;国&nbp;以&nbp;来，&nbp;前&nbp;所&nbp;未&nbp;有。&nbp;而李瑾，以首相之尊兼领此职，&nbp;等&nbp;于&nbp;将&nbp;大&nbp;唐&nbp;帝&nbp;国&nbp;近&nbp;半&nbp;的&nbp;财&nbp;政&nbp;收&nbp;入、&nbp;最&nbp;重&nbp;要&nbp;的&nbp;物&nbp;资&nbp;流&nbp;通&nbp;命&nbp;脉，&nbp;牢&nbp;牢&nbp;掌&nbp;控&nbp;在&nbp;了&nbp;自&nbp;己&nbp;手&nbp;中。

这已不仅仅是“位极人臣”，而是真正触及了帝国统治的“钱袋子”和“米袋子”，是**裸的、前所未有的经济集权。

朝野上下，为之失声片刻，随即暗流汹涌。

支持者弹冠相庆。许敬宗、袁公瑜等“后党”及新政受益官员，自是欢欣鼓舞。&nbp;他&nbp;们&nbp;看&nbp;到&nbp;的&nbp;是&nbp;新&nbp;政&nbp;派&nbp;系&nbp;权&nbp;力&nbp;的&nbp;巩&nbp;固&nbp;和&nbp;扩&nbp;张，&nbp;是&nbp;自&nbp;己&nbp;前&nbp;程&nbp;的&nbp;更&nbp;加&nbp;光&nbp;明。**&nbp;八百七十五万

贯的实打实收入，让任何对李瑾权势膨胀的非议都显得底气不足——谁能给朝廷带来这么多钱粮，谁就更有资格掌握更大的权力，这是最朴素的道理。

而反对者，或者说，那些被触及根本利益的势力，则感到刺骨的寒意。&nbp;门&nbp;阀&nbp;世&nbp;家&nbp;看&nbp;到&nbp;的，&nbp;是&nbp;通&nbp;过&nbp;盐&nbp;铁&nbp;茶&nbp;利&nbp;益&nbp;与&nbp;地&nbp;方&nbp;勾&nbp;连&nbp;的&nbp;传&nbp;统&nbp;通&nbp;道&nbp;被&nbp;彻&nbp;底&nbp;斩&nbp;断；&nbp;某些与漕运利益攸关的朝臣和地方大员，看到的是自己盘中的肥肉被生生端走；&nbp;甚&nbp;至&nbp;一&nbp;些&nbp;并&nbp;非&nbp;直&nbp;接&nbp;受&nbp;损，&nbp;但&nbp;秉&nbp;持&nbp;着&nbp;“&nbp;权&nbp;力&nbp;应&nbp;分&nbp;散&nbp;制&nbp;衡”&nbp;传&nbp;统&nbp;理&nbp;念&nbp;的&nbp;官&nbp;员，&nbp;也&nbp;对&nbp;如&nbp;此&nbp;巨&nbp;大&nbp;的&nbp;权&nbp;力&nbp;集&nbp;中&nbp;于&nbp;一&nbp;人&nbp;之&nbp;手&nbp;感&nbp;到&nbp;深&nbp;深&nbp;的&nbp;忧&nbp;虑&nbp;和&nbp;不&nbp;安。**

“&nbp;古&nbp;今&nbp;未&nbp;有&nbp;之&nbp;事&nbp;也！&nbp;宰相已总百揆，再兼此财赋转运之重权，&nbp;是&nbp;将&nbp;国&nbp;家&nbp;之&nbp;利&nbp;权，&nbp;尽&nbp;付&nbp;一&nbp;人&nbp;乎？&nbp;长此以往，恐非社稷之福啊！”&nbp;有老臣在私邸中，对着心腹门生，捶胸顿足，却又不敢公开上疏反对——&nbp;那&nbp;八&nbp;百&nbp;多&nbp;万&nbp;贯&nbp;的&nbp;光&nbp;环&nbp;太&nbp;过&nbp;耀&nbp;眼，&nbp;陛&nbp;下&nbp;和&nbp;皇&nbp;后&nbp;的&nbp;信&nbp;任&nbp;也&nbp;太&nbp;过&nbp;明&nbp;显。**

更多的沉默者，则在暗中观察，计算着利弊，思忖着该如何在新的权力格局下自处。

对于这些暗流，李瑾心知肚明，但他无暇也无心去过多理会。&nbp;诏书下达的第二天，他便在尚书省旁，原户部下属一个相对僻静的衙署旧址，挂上了“诸道盐铁转运使司”的黑底金字大匾。没有盛大的仪式，只有他麾下一批精干且相对年轻的官员迅速进驻，将这里变成了一个高效运转的新权力中枢。

转运使司的内部架构，是李瑾精心设计的，&nbp;打&nbp;破&nbp;了&nbp;传&nbp;统&nbp;六&nbp;部&nbp;的&nbp;框&nbp;架，&nbp;按&nbp;照&nbp;经&nbp;济&nbp;运&nbp;行&nbp;的&nbp;内&nbp;在&nbp;逻&nbp;辑&nbp;重&nbp;新&nbp;划&nbp;分。
