Su Che's words made Zhang Yue smile without saying a word.
Brothers Su Shi and Cai Jing both had different political ideas from Zhang Yue.
In fact, this is quite normal.
Although Cai Jing and Cai Bian have similar governing philosophies, there are still differences if they continue to be subdivided, otherwise the two will not fall out in the future.
Even the brothers Su Shi and Su Che are the same. Their ideas are also different. The reason why the two brothers still have the same brotherly relationship may be that the brotherly relationship is deeper and they have not experienced the test of sharing a high position.
Now Jianyu is carrying Zhang Yue to Zhongshu Xing. He has the last year left in his term as prime minister and is unwilling to make any more trouble.
He wants to make the people around him better.
Brothers Su Shi, now Su Shi has served as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites after returning to the dynasty due to his meritorious service as an envoy to Goryeo, and Su Zhe has become a doctor of Youjianyi.
This is also a new change after Yuanfeng's restructuring.
The admonishment court was abolished due to the duplication of functions with the Yushitai, and the left and right admonishment officials, the left and right admonishment officials, the left and right admonishment officials, and the left and right Zhengyan were established, which were officially called admonishment officers.
Among them, Zuo Jianyi, Zuo Si Jian, Zuo Zhengyan, and Zhongshu Zhong belong to the post-province province of Zhongshu.
Later provinces are also called outer provinces.
Since the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the two provinces under Zhongshu's sect have been divided into internal and external provinces.
After the restructuring, although the other provinces of Zhongshu Menxia Two Provinces were nominally part of Zhongshu Menxia Two Provinces, in fact, the original intention was to be independent of Zhongshu Menxia and have a supervisory role over the two provinces.
Su Zhe, as a right-hand admonishment official, was the postpartum of Zhongshu.
However, now Zhongshu Housheng is another sign of Zhang Yue's original official establishment of the Xiangding Department. Chen Guan, who was in the Xiangding Department with Su Zhe at the time, has been appointed as the right admonisher, and even Huang Shang has been appointed as the right official.
Not only does Zhang Yue never be stingy with those who follow him, he also ensures that they will have a "bit of food" to eat in the future.
Zhang Yue has always had a creed: he must do his best to his brothers and be benevolent and righteous!
At the same time, during this restructuring, Chongwen Academy was transformed into the Secretariat Department. At the same time, Zhaowen Academy, Jixian Palace, etc. were abolished. The title of prime minister for hundreds of years was also cancelled. Supervising the history of the country was only an assignment of the prime minister or the ruling party during the compilation of history.
.
In particular, the system of official titles was abolished, and only foreign officials were given titles such as Zhilong Tuge.
The original intention of the official title was that Emperor Taizong wanted to create another system in the official system so that officials with official titles could get a fast track for promotion, specifically for promoting literary ministers (his confidants).
Yan Shu, Yang Yi, Ouyang Xiu and countless other big figures all came from this line, and the "official position" was also a necessary condition for future generations to become important ministers.
Now Zhilongtu, Longtuge Bachelor, and Zhixueguanzhi have all become history, and the system of ministers of literature has collapsed and ceased to exist.
The original intention of the official government was that through Yuanfeng's restructuring, the official system no longer existed, but was integrated into the normal official system.
But Zhang Yue came from the "Tai Xue Department" and governed the country with "righteousness", which is equivalent to forming a new system. In fact, the two ideas are exactly the same.
In the future, the system of ministers of literature will inevitably be replaced by the system of ministers of classics and righteousness.
After merging the systems, a new system was created within the original system, with the intention of allowing Zhang Yue's own governing ideas to continue.
Next, let's pass the examination method, reform the imperial examination, and secretly reorganize and change the system.
Zhang Yue rested his head on the chair and looked at the sky outlined by the palace walls, the expression on his face constantly changing.
What he can accomplish during his term of office is still very limited, and he can only go so far. In another year, his career as prime minister will come to an end.
But if you leave, what will happen to the people who follow you?
Zhang Yue opened his eyes, and Su Che followed closely beside him.
Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou!"
Su Che said: "Prime Minister!"
Zhang Yue said: "I heard that Zizhan used the name of Wen Lugong to criticize Zhang Zihou's proposal to discuss salt in Hebei?"
Zhang Yue looked towards Su Che, who said: "Yes, Prime Minister, this is the case!"
Zhang Yue shook his head. The reason for the incident was that Zhang Dun felt that Hebei's war preparations were insufficient and the court could not allocate extra money, so he reused the old proposal and once again proposed the implementation of the salt law in all roads in Hebei.
This time, Zhang Dun thought, one is that there are official discussions on salt in all walks of life in the world, why can't people from all walks of life in Hebei Province bathe in this emperor's grace together? Shaanxi is also a border area, and official discussions are implemented at the same time, why can't Hebei.
Another reason is that there are too many profiteers in Hebei, and the profits they make are too huge. Officials think that the money is not earned by the court, but it is advantageous to those profiteers who resell salt products.
Su Shi objected, but he could not object openly because Zhang Dun saved his life in the Wutai Poetry Case.
So Su Shi nominally opposed it in the name of Wen Yanbo.
Su Shi was in tit-for-tat opposition to Zhang Dun's memorials. Shaanxi's salt policy was about salt removal, while Hebei was about sea salt, so it was more difficult to implement official deliberation.
Su Shi also admitted that there were profiteers making money from the price difference, but the official problem was even more serious. Taking what he saw at the Hangzhou General Tribunal as an example, the imperial court arrested 17,000 people on the Zhejiang Road and Zhejiang Road in just one year in order to implement official punishment and crack down on private people.
The government prisons are full of private salt dealers.
The people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang are easier to bully. If you try it in Hebei, where the martial arts are fierce, you will die if you try.
After that, Zhang Dun continued to fight back, saying that my method was different and would never exploit the people, and that it was convenient for both the government and the people. He also put forward a series of proposals for reforming the Salt Law.
Su Shi said, Zhang Dun is only at this level. This method will not only cause public resentment, but also make no money.
Of course, Zhang Dun and Su Shi are currently arguing here. Who is right in the final argument? No one knows.
But Zhang Yue clearly knew that in another time and space, the imperial court implemented salt farming in Jingdong and Hebei through Richard and Wu Juhou respectively. At first, the court obtained a lot of money from the official farming in Hebei, but within two years, the price of salt in Hebei skyrocketed, and the people were in dire straits.

Everything was said by Su Shi.
But the people of Hebei did not rebel, which was beyond Su Shi and Zhangdun's expectations.
Afterwards, Zhang Dun took the initiative to draw a clear line with Wu Juhou, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him.
As for the officials of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom imitated Dangxiang and secretly sold salt to the Song Dynasty.
By the way, the price of salt in the Liao Kingdom is ten cents per kilogram of salt.
Historically, after the Song Dynasty briefly conquered Youyan, it also implemented official consultations in Hebei here, and millions of Youyan people were happy to bring gifts.
The price of salt in Youyan rose from ten cents per catty to two hundred and fifty cents per catty.
Zhang Yue said to Su Zhe: "Zi Hou is indeed not good financially, but no one is perfect."
"He arrived in Dingzhou for a year, and the people's sentiments were stable. Most of the two households under his rule rebelled against the Song Dynasty and attached themselves to the Liao Dynasty. However, after he took office, he eliminated Lu Liujin and other two households who had joined the Liao Dynasty as thieves. Such courage
It’s not something ordinary officials can do.”
Just as before the Song Dynasty, they did not dare to question the people of Hebei, so they gave preferential treatment to the households on the border between Song and Liao. They only levied symbolic taxes and even asked for help every time there was a disaster. They were very considerate, for fear that these people would become the leading party.
Unexpectedly, these dual households were not only ungrateful, but also ganged up as thieves. From time to time they came to the Song Dynasty to rob someone, and then fled back to the Liao Kingdom.
After Zhang Dun took office, he did not tolerate these people at all, and suddenly sent out troops to wipe out many groups of two-family thieves, which brought peace to the security in the border areas.
After Su Zhejing Zhang Yue said this, he also changed his mind and finally said: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true."
Zhang Yue said: "I agree with what you just said about deeds but not the heart."
"I have always been sincere in my work, but it became difficult when I became an official. When I first became an official, I often thought about how big the official position would be. Now that I am in my position, I understand what '
"When a mountain is high, ten thousand mountains are low,' so I am always cautious, lest I have no way to retreat when my power ceases in the future. You must also think of this. You have my protection now, but what about the future?"
"So Ziyou should always look at the good points when looking at people. We officials all have many sides. We can't just generalize good and bad people as good and bad. In the end, it often depends on which side of me you see."
Su Zhe immediately said: "Prime Minister, the lower official and my brother are talking arrogantly."
Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, what you want to do is up to you. I am the prime minister now. I cannot choose people for liking or evil. Everything is based on the country and the country!"
"Especially now that I am in phase, everything in the government is about peace and quiet!"
When Su Zhe heard what Zhang Yue said, he immediately thought, in other words, to understand the past from another direction, is it because after Zhang Yue resigned from the position, you guys could make as much trouble as you like!
Su Che said: "Prime Minister, I understand."
Zhang Yue nodded.
Su Che didn't know that Zhang Yue, Cai Jing, Cai Bian and others repeated this truth.
What Su Che didn't know was that he would miss the era of Zhang Yue Juxiang many years later.
At that time, he would remember that Zhang Yue could barely use his reputation to suppress the old and new parties and reconcile the conflicts between the two parties so that they would not fight to the death in the court.
Although most of the old party officials in the world are pedantic, they are generally gentle and generous gentlemen.
The New Party officials are forging ahead with reform and forging ahead, but they appear to be more impatient and reckless.
Although the officials of the two parties were fighting openly and secretly, they still maintained a decent appearance on the surface, still eating from the same pot, and working for the country and the country of the entire Song Dynasty.
