Prime Minister

Chapter 640 Rectification of Taixue
Wang Anshi, Zeng Bu gathered information from various sources in the Zhongshu, and learned that the biggest problem with the Green Crop Method is not other things but restraint!
Which of the four hundred military prefectures in the Song Dynasty dared to say that the money was enough?

And now that there is a profit-seeking method of the young crop method, then there must be a problem of restraint, which cannot be prohibited.

The so-called imperial court's order prohibiting the suppression of marriage has become a dead letter.

Moreover, the green crop law in other counties and counties in the world is 60.00% profit, while Hebei is [-]% profit (annual interest rate is [-]%), so Han Qi also objected to it.

And according to what Li Chang once said, the local government in a certain place in Shaanxi didn't even lend money to young crops, and just asked the people to pay interest after half a year.

This is simply a white wolf with empty gloves.

Wang Anshi was furious at the time, and asked Li Chang to say which county in Shaanxi?
Li Chang said that I will not name them.

But whether there is such a situation as Li Chang said, in fact, Wang Anshi knows it well, probably there is.

As long as the imperial court implements the young crops law, there will definitely be suppression of distribution. As for the capital, the interest money will be apportioned directly to the people, so there will be rogue methods.

Because the Song Dynasty is too big, there are always things that can't be taken into account, not to mention that the common people have no strength to resist in front of the government.

But this switch brought about a sharp increase in the court's income.

Zeng Bu said very firmly: "My lord, when the rich people lend money to the common people, at least a quarter of the interest, or even double the interest (one borrowed and two paid back), the imperial court's young crop law is indeed extremely convenient for the people, so it is not a matter of interest. high."

"The only shortcoming is the suppression of distribution. Now the method of distributing money between households can curb the harm of distribution! Besides, if Fang Guo households can mortgage their houses, they also get money from young crops. Many state and county governments do not have enough money to distribute , how can there be any harm in suppressing the common people? Bu heard that in many places in the imperial court, rich households pretended to be rich."

Wang Anshi nodded when he heard the words. What Zeng Bu said was true. For example, some wealthy households urgently needed a large sum of money, and private loans were too expensive, so they asked the tenant farmers below to go to the government to claim them, and finally repaid the money by themselves. To the court.

In fact, the imperial court's attitude towards such rich households pretending to be claimants is wishing for more.

This is also the convenience of the Young Crops Law, but it is never mentioned by the opposition.

Wang Anshi said: "There are hundreds of military states in the world, so it is really difficult to make all states easy to implement and manage, but the young crop law is generally speaking. The law of the rich is finally taken from the people and used by the people."

"As long as the restraint can be stopped, this method can definitely be carried out to the world!"

Wang Anshi said firmly.

That's right, to be honest, the only harm of the Green Crop Law is the suppression of distribution, but Zhang Yue's method of distributing young crop money according to households has indeed reduced the harm of suppression of distribution. It is also a wonderful way to get money for young crops.

Because Fangguo households do not have the problem of suppressing distribution, it is well known that the government cannot allow Fangguo households to mortgage their houses and then borrow money from young crops. This can also reduce the harm of farmers suppressing distribution.

Zhang Yue's only two strategies have indeed reduced the suppression of allocation.

Wang Anshi also had to admit at this moment that Zhang Yue's talents surpassed Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu among the reformists.But Zhang Yue opposed the young crop law!
When Wang Anshi returned to his residence, he was concentrating on thinking about the political reform, and he seemed a little absent-minded along the way.

As he walked through the palace road, several officials saluted and greeted him, but he turned a blind eye and just walked forward there with his head sullen.

The Xiaohuangmen who guarded the palace gate along the way were not surprised to see this, and said with a smile: "My husband is thinking about something again."

"The last time I went out, I almost bumped into the official's house."

Several Xiao Huangmen covered their mouths and sniggered.

At this moment, Wang Anshi was thinking that it was Zhang Yue's appointment. He wanted Zhang Yue to gain experience in local governance and then be transferred to the capital. If the treatment is effective, he will be transferred back to the capital in the future.

As for the discord between Zhang Yue and himself, Wang Anshi felt that it had nothing to do with it.

He was at odds with Li Shen, the envoy of the third division, and Li Shen even looked down on Wang Anshi.At the beginning, Emperor Shenzong used Wang Anshi and Wang Tao to set up a bureau to manage finances, but it was canceled because of Li Shen's opposition.

But Wang Anshi resolutely implemented the young crop method that Li Shen used at the beginning.

When others asked him, Wang Anshidao and Li Canchun made peace with each other without any personal affection.

It's the same with Zhang Yue. It doesn't matter if he doesn't get along with him, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a personal relationship (in fact, the two parties are still in-laws).

But what will happen to the Qingmiao Fa after a few years is the top priority in Wang Anshi's heart.

The Green Crop Law cannot be abolished like this, and the reform must have continuity. The person who can abolish the Green Crop Law at that time is probably Zhang Yue.

Wang Anshi thought of this and returned to the mansion in a carriage.

As soon as Wang Anshi arrived home, Wang Yu hurried over to greet him.

Wang Yu stopped Wang Anshi and said, "Father, just now Baoguang (Lian Hengfu) came and told me something."

Wang Anshi asked absent-mindedly, "What's the matter?"

Wang Yu and Wang Anshi went to the study and sat down, and said: "It is the Taixue who directly talked about Yan Fu's strategy and asked Wang Mangwu about Zhou's reform..."

Hearing this, Wang Anshi immediately recovered, with anger in his eyes.

This kind of question is exactly the same as the question that Su Shi posed in the Guozijian Examination.

"...Afterwards, Su Song's son Su Jia wrote an article denouncing the injustices of today's political reforms. His words were arrogant and he had no rules and regulations. However, such an article was actually listed as the first class!"

Su Song's son Su Jia's article actually won the first prize?
Who is Su Song?

He just slapped himself in the face during the Sansheren incident, and now the most prestigious person in Sansheren, when he returned the title of the title, many officials came to his home to congratulate him and express their admiration for his integrity.

Now Su Song's son, Su Jia, wrote an article criticizing the current political reforms, but instead of being demoted to the bottom, he was listed as the first.

What does it mean that this kind of ethos appeared in the Taixue, which Wang Anshi regarded as the foundation of the new law?
And the person who is in charge of Gou Taixue today is Zhang Yue.

Wang Yu said: "It is no small matter that this happened in Taixue, we must be arrested and questioned?"

"Who do you want to arrest?"

Wang Yu said: "Father, these days Zhang Duzhi is busy learning about the imperial edict, and he hasn't gone to Taixue for more than ten days, so we can assume that he doesn't know about this matter."

After a pause, Wang Yu said: "But we must have a certain attitude. How to deal with these teachers and students who oppose the reform, there is absolutely no tolerance here. If he can't do it well, we have a reason to do him. At the same time Take back the right to supervise Taixue."

"I suggest that now we can show goodwill to Zhang Duzhi. Isn't he still in charge of the Gou Guozijian? According to the rules, officials with more than two systems can be called the Pan Guozijian, so let's change him to the Pan Guozijian. This is in line with the rules, and we can also urge him to immediately Do this."
