Although this obsessive husband is by no means in vain.
But what Wang Anshi resisted was his own opinion, that is, his financial policy.
He believed that only financial management could save the Song Dynasty, because Fan Zhongyan had already tried to reduce expenditures.
But this does not mean that he thinks that his new laws and regulations are perfect. You must know that he has set up an interested officer in the Ordinance Department of the Second Government, who is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the new laws in various places.
Historically, he has also been constantly adjusting new laws and regulations based on specific circumstances.
It is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw the Green Seeding Law, but if you make corresponding adjustments, as long as what you say makes sense, he will not be stubborn.
The current situation in Hezhong Mansion made him feel that Zhang Fei's plan was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
...
Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty, just this morning, Academician Wang sent a fast horse to check the route. It should go to Hezhong Mansion."
The chamberlain Tian Gui came to the study and reported to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, "Sir, if you sent someone to reply so quickly, you must have adopted Zhang San's suggestion."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
The chamberlain Tian Gui couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty has been up all night, isn't he just waiting for the response from Master Wang? Now that Master Wang has sent someone to deliver a letter to Hezhong Mansion, why is Your Majesty still sighing?"
Zhao Xu glanced at him and asked, "Tian Gui, when will you enter the palace?"
Tian Gui hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, this slave will enter the palace at the age of ten."
Zhao Xu asked again: "Is it also because the family is poor?"
Tian Gui nodded dullly: "Yes."
Zhao Xu continued to ask: "If someone lent money to your family at that time and only charged one cent of interest, would your family be able to survive the difficulty?"
Tian Gui thought for a moment, "I guess it's not possible. Our family can't survive without wind or rain, so how can we still pay interest."
"yes!"
Zhao Xu nodded: "I didn't think of such a simple truth. Alas... You can't have your cake and eat it too. You want to help the people, but also earn money and materials from them and improve the national finances. This is
It’s almost impossible. No wonder Zhang San always avoided talking about the new law before. In fact, he has already seen the disadvantages of the new law.”
The letters Zhang Fei wrote to Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu were of course different. He and Wang Anshi mainly talked about policy responses and did not talk much about the shortcomings of the Green Crops Law.
However, in the letter to Zhao Xu, he not only explained the countermeasures, but also fully informed him of the shortcomings of the Green Seed Law.
This kept Zhao Xu awake all night.
This very simple math problem was unavoidable for him.
Tian Guidao: "That's not true. If people get help and live a good life, they can help the country improve its finances."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I just asked you, and you said no."
Tian Guidao: "Our family is different. Lending money to our family can only tide us over for a while, but we will still not be able to make progress next year."
Zhao Xu sighed: "But nine out of ten people in the world are like your family."
Tian Gui was also confused and couldn't help but said: "Then... what should we do?"
Zhao Xu pondered for a long time and slowly said four words, "Don't use Qianlong."
...
The current situation in Hezhong Mansion has become extremely strange. It is clear that there is a turbulent undercurrent, and everyone is in danger. It seems that it is the eve of a storm, but on the surface, everything is still developing in a good direction.
Especially when it comes to disarmament, the fight there is fierce, but disarmament is still in full swing without much interference or causing any chaos.
In fact, many people are dissatisfied with this, but due to the current complicated situation, no one dares to act rashly, for fear that if they blow up the powder keg, they will be shattered to pieces.
It seemed that this time it was Wang Shao and Guo Kui's turn to quietly make a fortune. The two of them were also extremely low-key, pretending to be very busy all day long and indifferent to the fighting outside.
"The weather is nice today, why don't we take a walk first."
Wang Shao, who came out of the military camp, looked at the sky and said to Guo Kui.
Guo Kui said: "Please."
The two of them walked along the path towards the city.
"I didn't expect that this disarmament would go so smoothly." Guo Kui said with a relaxed smile.
Wang Shao said: "Don't be careless yet!"
Suddenly I heard the sound of a copper bell coming from a distance.
The two of them looked up and saw a food team approaching on the mountain road in the distance.
Wang Shao saw that the people holding the grain were uniformed government servants, and he couldn't help but said: "These should be the tax grains paid by the big landowners."
Guo Kui laughed and said: "It seems that this year's tax payment is much more than last year's!"
Where have I seen this scene before?
Wang Shao sighed: "If those big landowners do this every year, why worry about poor finances."
Guo Kui said: "But Hezhong Prefecture will definitely have a much easier time next year. If the disarmament can meet expectations and can be reduced by nearly half, plus there are sufficient taxes and grains, life will be very easy for everyone in and out!"
Wang Shao said with a sad face: "Although everything is going very smoothly at the moment, there are actually dangers everywhere. Think about it, how many things are going on in Hezhong Mansion now, the dispute between the transportation department and the big landowners, the dispute between the patriarchal clan and the law,
The dispute between the police station and the government office, if we are not careful, everything we have done today may be in vain!"
However, Guo Kui said carelessly: "What's the use of thinking so much? Let's just do our part. Whether we succeed or fail is beyond our control."
Even though he was a military commander, he knew very well that in the end this was still a battle between the old and the new, and it was difficult for them to influence the direction of this battle.
Wang Shao glanced at him, pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled: "You are right, it is useless to think too much. We should concentrate on stabilizing the army. No matter what, we cannot let their fighting affect the disarmament."
The harm of three redundancies is the root of the problem.
Disarmament is about prescribing the right medicine and discussing the situation. This is more important than the New Deal and can immediately improve the country's finances.
...
The development of the Imperial Court today is very similar to the strange situation in the Hezhong Mansion. On the surface, it is prosperous. As the Four Little King Kongs gradually gain a foothold, the Civil Imperial Court opens trials almost every day, becoming a daily institution and a seller.
Aunt Cai’s daily leisure and entertainment.
Buildings were completed one after another outside, and the big dog's tavern was finally moved from the shed to the house.
The Legal Aid Office, various bookstores, and law schools are also under construction and should be ready for delivery before the cold winter arrives.
But in fact, it is also full of dangers.
Among them is the law school that has been under construction. After Zhang Fei's prestige, many young scholars signed up for the law school with great expectations.
But like the wave of lawsuits ahead, this one went away just as quickly as it came.
"How many people left?"
Zhang Fei asked Cai Jing with a depressed look.
Cai Jing said: "There are only eight people left."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Do they have such great influence?"
Cai Jingdao: "Students think that this has nothing to do with their influence, but that everyone is looking forward to returning to their roots in the future. Therefore, they use the ancestral hall to secretly threaten, and those scholars naturally do not dare to sign up for law school. This is the only thing left.
Eight of them, all are sons of merchants, and none of them are natives of Hezhong Prefecture."
In the Northern Song Dynasty, filial piety was the first priority. Who dared to go to school at the risk of being expelled from the clan?
It can be seen that although the squires are fighting for the Youth League Law on the surface, they are still secretly encircling and suppressing the Public Security Bureau in all aspects, and their influence is everywhere.
This gave Zhang Fei a bit of a headache. After all, he couldn't stay in Hezhong Mansion forever, and the Public Security Bureau had to expand to the entire Shaanxi Road. This law school was directly related to the current expansion of the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Law, and whether it could continue to develop in Hezhong Mansion in the future.
But he had no choice but to say: "Since there are only eight people left, the four of you will each choose two to be your assistants, so that they can get familiar with the official affairs of the imperial court first, and we can wait until the law school is completed."
"Students know."
Cai Jing nodded and said, "By the way, students heard from the police station that the police station in front of the village has also been harassed by some gangsters in the village in recent days, as if they hope to provoke trouble with the police station.
"
A flash of anger flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, "It seems that they have already used such despicable means. But for the time being, we have to endure it and cannot argue with them. Their unity
It won't last long. Go to the police station and tell Master Fu. If it doesn't work, you can go back and rest for a period of time. You must not conflict with them."
Cai Jing mused: "Since we want to withdraw, we might as well take advantage of it."
Zhang Fei glanced at him and said, "What should I say?"
Cai Jing hesitated for a moment and said: "Based on what I know about the police officers in the village, most of them are just messing around and are not doing their best to maintain public order in the village. If after the royal police withdraw, there will be more and more incidents of theft and theft in the village,
The villagers will definitely defect."
Zhang Fei said: "We are judicial officials."
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Yes, the student knows that he is wrong."
"It's not your fault."
Zhang Fei said in a relaxed tone: "It's because they are aggressive. But you have to understand that this is their territory. We may not be able to defeat them with this kind of tactics."
Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't blame him, Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Students must keep the teacher's teachings in mind."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
He didn't mind if Cai Jing played some dirty tricks, because he asked Cai Jing to be in charge of foreign affairs just to give full play to his talents in this area.
...
Wei Mansion!
"He Yanjian, you have been following Bachelor Yuan recently. What is his plan? Why is there no movement at all?"
Wei Yingfang asked He Chunlin slightly anxiously.
Yuan Jiang had already let out the harsh words, but the other party also refused without mercy. As a result, Yuan Jiang remained silent for the past few days.
this.......
He Chunlin sighed: "I asked, and Academician Yuan said that you have to think of a justifiable reason, otherwise it will not be convincing."
Wei Yingfang said excitedly: "They are clearly targeting the Qingmiao Law. Isn't this reason justifiable enough?"
He Chunlin was not sure: "Maybe it's because the other party didn't say it clearly."
At this moment, a swordsman and penman came into the house and whispered a few words into Wei Yingfang's ear.
"really?"
Wei Yingfang said happily.
The swordsman and penman nodded.
Cao Yi asked hurriedly: "Wei Tongpan, what's the matter?"
Wei Yingfang chuckled and said: "This big fish has taken the bait. Just now, Bachelor Yuan went to see Magistrate Cai and decided to prohibit them from lending money at low interest rates on the grounds that the patriarchal law has no right to stipulate interest."
Cao Yi asked excitedly: "Are you sure?"
Wei Yingfang nodded and said: "Prefect Cai has agreed and sent people to draft the relevant decrees. I believe that after a while, they will come to me to discuss it."
He Chunlin breathed a long sigh of relief and trembled his lips, "The fight has started! It's really a fight!"
