The days when I fished in Daming

Makes sense!
But not much.

Others may believe it, but Lao Zhu will definitely not believe it.

The people under his command are not just for food, and they always know Zheng Xiong's whereabouts.

If you ask who knows Zheng Xiong best in the world, apart from Zheng Xiong himself, it is Lao Zhu.

Even though you don’t say it yourself, you can’t just fool people!

Lao Zhu looked at Zheng Xiong with contempt.

As for other people, many of them showed expressions of deep understanding. After all, they all followed Lao Zhu to start a business, and they were not flowers in the greenhouse.

Some people already showed thoughtful expressions, as if they had been separated from the masses for too long, and they felt a bit superior.

But some people are naturally a bit difficult to deal with.

Maybe because I have a spearhead, I look at people through colored glasses.

Some people still show signs of thinking, but Lao Hu disagrees, and even looks down upon them.

After all, the enemy is also the person who knows me best.

Some eyeliner is no surprise.

It's so silly that you are so careless and considerate of the public sentiment!Are you hairy?

Don't immediately stand up and oppose it.

"Zheng Xiong, is it possible that everyone here is blind? What do you do every day, where do you go, and what does it have to do with understanding the sentiments of the people?"

"The sixteenth floor is probably your favorite place to visit! By the way, there's also the Jiaofang Division. It's so enjoyable!"

As soon as Lao Hu's words came out, the whole room laughed, and many of them showed expressions that all men would understand.

However, those who need to hit the target must hit the target without any foreign objects being transferred.

"Prime Minister Hu is right. A friend of Chen's third brother's nephew told me that he has seen Zheng Fuyin many times on the sixteenth floor. This should be true."

Well, forget it.

Zheng Xiong didn't care.

"Prime Minister Hu, did you send someone to monitor me?"

"No, I only heard the truth from my siblings and nephews."

"Oh, really? It seems that your brother-in-law's nephew is a fellow-minded person! Why, I just went there because I was aware of the people's sentiments. I made a fortune every day on the [-]th floor because of my understanding of the people's sentiments. You can't accept it if you don't accept it. Try it!"

Is there something wrong?

There seems to be nothing wrong with it!

The money on the [-]th floor is real, not fake.

Ready-made examples are most convincing.

Lao Hu suddenly got stuck.

After all these years of being in politics, I have never met such an unusual person as Zheng Xiong.

It seems like nothing has been done, but yet everything has been done.

As slippery as a loach.Taking advantage of Lao Hu's daze, Zheng Xiong spoke directly to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, selecting talents and promoting talents has always been the case in ancient and modern times."

"In ancient times, sages did not avoid relatives. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination was launched, allowing students from poor families to rise. However, in the later dynasties, the communication channels were blocked, and it was difficult for poor families to rise. This was because the court was controlled by traitors and nepotism, and they relied on nepotism."

"Partisanship is the main culprit."

"Maybe some adults don't know, so let me tell you."

"For example, the Niu-Li party struggle in the late Tang Dynasty. The Niu-Li party struggle was an incident in the late Tang Dynasty when two factions of scholar-bureaucrats formed cliques to fight and exclude each other.

The two factions were Niu Dang, headed by Niu Sengru, and Li Dang, headed by Li Deyu. Officials from these two factions were at odds with each other and quarreled endlessly. They started during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty and ended during the period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, which lasted nearly 40 years. "

"There is also the party struggle between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang in the Song Dynasty."

"The party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty was a struggle between the new party and the old party. The two factions came and went, which also caused huge losses to the government of the Northern Song Dynasty. To understand the struggle between the new party and the old party, we must start with Wang Anshi's reform."

"In 1069, Song Shenzong Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi jointly launched a reform, which was the famous "Wang Anshi Reform." At that time, the officials who participated in Wang Anshi's reform were called the "New Party", and those who opposed the reform were called the "Old Party" ".

The purpose of Wang Anshi's reform was to change the situation of internal and external troubles in the Northern Song Dynasty. The reform specified many policies, including methods to enrich the country, strengthen the army, and recruit scholars. The content covered many aspects such as politics, economy, military, and culture. "

"The original intention of the reform was good, but this reform objectively disrupted the political ecology of the Northern Song Dynasty. Before Wang Anshi's reform, although there were political struggles, there was a consensus in the struggle that no matter which faction came to power in the future, they could not engage in Retaliate and tolerate criticism from the opposition.

Although this is not a verbal rule, it can be regarded as a common practice.

Wang Anshi broke this rule. After the reform was introduced, he was opposed by the "old party" headed by Sima Guang. With the support of Shenzong, Wang Anshi drove all the opponents out of the capital.

This behavior broke the consensus between the previous parties. From then on, the partisanship between the new party and the old party became a serious political issue. "

"After Sima Guang came to power, he also began to retaliate in kind and drove away all the people of the New Party. But the good times did not last long. Empress Dowager Gao died of illness within a few years. Song Zhezong took charge of the government personally. He felt that the old party had always been by Empress Dowager Gao's side. , disrespected him as the emperor, so he reactivated the new party and retaliated against the old party.

Sima Guang had already passed away at that time, but as the soul of the old party, he still could not escape the fate of being retaliated against. His tombstone was even pushed down.

The old and new parties retaliated against each other, and the conflicts and grudges became deeper and deeper. Even though the two original core figures, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, have both passed away, the party struggle is still in full swing.

What's more serious is that this kind of party struggle caused Wang Anshi's new laws to be sometimes repealed and sometimes restored, and government orders were changed day by day, leaving the people at a loss as to what to do. "

"And this kind of struggle between the old and new parties is nothing more than interests and cannot be reconciled."

“Most members of the old party own large tracts of private land and belong to vested interest groups, while the new party relied on the opportunity of Wang Anshi’s reform to come to power and is a political newcomer.

The new law promulgated by Wang Anshi greatly impacted the interests of the old party.

For example, one of the new laws is called the "Green Crop Law", which means that the state will provide low-interest loans to farmers every year during the lean years, and then repay the capital with interest to the state after the farmers have a harvest.

But before the Green Crops Law was enacted, landlords who owned large tracts of land would make money by providing usurious loans to farmers. If the farmers did not pay back the money, their land would be annexed according to the contract signed by both parties.

But now the government is lending money at a lower interest rate than the landlords, which has cut off the landlords' financial resources.When the interests of these landlords were harmed, they complained to their backers in the court. These backers were the so-called old party.

Therefore, of course the old party will oppose Wang Anshi's reform.

There is a significant difference between the old party and the new party. That is, the old party pays more attention to morality and likes to talk big words and empty words, while the new party pays more attention to specific administrative affairs.

The old party liked to criticize the emperor, but the new party listened more to the emperor.

This is because the old party has deep roots and dares to point fingers at the emperor, while the new party is a rising star and relies more on imperial power. "
