Ouyang Xiu's ancestral home is Yongfeng, Jiangxi, but he was born in Mianyang, Sichuan. He has been an official outside for so many years, but in fact he doesn't have much affection for the place in Mianyang.

He regarded his second hometown as Yingzhou, but his descendants were all officials. It can be foreseeable that the Ouyang family had basically taken Bianjing as the foundation for the following three generations, so Ouyang Xiu had already thought about it and placed his tomb near Bianjing to facilitate worship.

This matter has been arranged by Ouyang Bian for a long time, and it fell in Liu Village, Jingxian Township, Xinzheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Ouyang Bian bought a huge land here, and the farmers in Liu Village who originally lived here all depended on the Ouyang family's name.

Ouyang Bian bought land here not for farming, but for building the Ouyang family’s cemetery and ancestral hall.

Ouyang Bian himself didn't care much about this matter, but Ouyang Xiu was obsessed with it.

Ouyang Bian was not short of money, so he simply spent a lot of money to buy it, then built the Ouyang family's ancestral hall, and moved all the monuments of Ouyang Xiu's grandfather Ouyang Yan, grandmother Li, father Ouyang Guan, and mother Zheng.

Ouyang Xiu's tomb is particularly grand. The tomb is about five meters high and about fifteen meters in circumference. There is room for the right side to the right, which is left for Ouyang Bian's mother, Mrs. Xue.

The cemetery faces north and south, with external screen walls, gates, inner screen walls, east and west wings, halls and tombs on the north and south central axis. There are walls around it. The external screen walls are about five meters high, six meters long and one meter thick.

There are three main gates, and there are steps on the left and right in front of the door, and there is a ring-shaped stone lion next to each step.

The inner screen wall is the same height as the wall, and the courtyard is divided into two parts: front and back.

There are doors on both sides of the left and right sides, and a north-south corridor is built in the middle of the courtyard, which directly reaches the main hall.

There are stone carvings such as stone pigs, stone sheep, etc. on both sides of the corridor, arranged symmetrically, with a spacing of three meters, and the stone carvings are about one meter high. There are three wing rooms on both sides of the corridor.

The main hall is also called the worship hall. It has three rooms, with a warm pavilion, a tablet, a divine curtain, an altar, a tin incense burner, and a pair of tin candlesticks.

There is an altar built in front of the hall, which is ten meters long, five meters wide and one meter high.

On both sides of the altar, each with a stone statue of the civil servant was erected, about two meters high.

There are ancient cypresses planted on both sides, vigorous and upright, and evergreen in all seasons. A horse-blocking wall is built along the east and west mountains of the main hall.

The style is considered to be grand, and with Ouyang Bian's strength, it is actually not too ostentatious.

Ouyang Bian and his brothers built several thatched huts beside Ouyang Xiu's tomb. In the next three years, Ouyang Bian will be filial to the filial piety here.

Ouyang Bian has no care about official affairs for the time being, but he can sort out business matters well.

First of all, the companies such as Xihucheng, Xihucheng Engineering Company, Agricultural Bank of China, and Ocean Group are too large. Xihucheng Group is actually unable to manage it and has too heavy responsibilities. Ouyang Bian simply split them out and formed them into joint-stock group companies.

Xihucheng Co., Ltd. mainly manages Xihucheng and other industries in various places;

Xihucheng Engineering Group Co., Ltd. is a company under its management name, including roads, bridges, urban construction, design institutes, etc.;

The Agricultural Bank of China was split into the Agricultural Bank of China and Qingpingle Investment Group, which mainly manages the shares of thousands of companies under its name;

Oceanwide Group and Quanzhou Shipyard have both obtained independent operating qualifications and bought the shares back from the Agricultural Bank of China.

After this asset restructuring, Ouyang Bian's name includes West Lake City Group, Xihucheng Group, Agricultural Bank of China, Qingpingle Investment Group, Oceanwide Group, and the Dasong Shipbuilding Industry Group, which includes Quanzhou Shipyard, Fuzhou Shipyard, Wenzhou Shipyard, Suzhou Shipyard, and Haizhou Shipyard.

Other industries such as Shenggan Fresh, Henry Leather, Yunkui Pharmaceutical, and those in Xixia are now under the management of Qingpingle Investment Group.

After reorganizing these industries, Ouyang Bian hid his shares, which is the so-called cross-holding, reducing his shares to a minimum, but he can still firmly control these industries.

This is a very complicated process, which means that now he has enough talents to do these things, otherwise he would not be able to rely on himself.

Ouyang Bian conducted a comprehensive survey and asset restructuring in business. His teacher Wang Anshi lacked his constraints and finally let go of his hands.

In early September of the fifth year of Xining, the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions promulgated the Baojia Law.

In mid-September, the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions promulgated the Horse Protection Law.

Two consecutive major laws and regulations were promulgated, just like pouring a jar of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the entire Song Dynasty political arena suddenly exploded.

Whether it is the Baoma Law or the Baojia Law, many people with rich administrative experience can see many things that are prone to exploit loopholes, and they cannot be controlled through human resources.

Kaifeng Prefect Zheng Xie was extremely dissatisfied with this and submitted a memorial to criticize the Baojia Law and the Baoma Law as evil laws. He believed that the implementation of these two policies would cause many farmers to go bankrupt and should be abolished immediately.

Not only that, Zheng Xie was also very dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's personal opinion, believing that Wang Anshi's promulgation of these laws was a harm to the people and was actually a traitor.

How could Wang Anshi tolerate Zheng Xie destroying the reform? He directly asked Zhao Xu to criticize and exiled Zheng Xie.

This time I poked the hornet's nest.

Wang Anshi knew that he was going to be demoted to Zheng Xie, and Han Qi could not agree, so he simply asked for the imperial criticism to bypass the Political Affairs Hall, but this was destroying the process. For Han Qi, Sima Guang and others, this was destroying the ancestral system. What a big deal!

Sima Guang immediately submitted a memorial to criticize Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was completely unrestrained and fought back against Han Qi with all his might.

Fan Chunren and others from the Censorate also wrote letters to criticize Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was unmoved.

Wang Anshi was unmoved, but Zhao Xu was a little overwhelmed, so he quickly discussed with Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi asked Zhao Xu to drive Sima Guang and others out.

For a time, the political arena of Bianjing was very lively.

Ouyang Bian sat in Xinzheng County and watched the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard. It was quite comfortable to watch the clouds rolling in the sky.

Ouyang Bian did not miss the troubles in Beijing, and Ouyang Bian, who are in full swing in various places, are also collecting information to check the unreasonable aspects.

As the winter of the fifth year of Xining began, the chaos in Beijing became more and more powerful.

Wang Anshi's combat power is quite powerful. Not to mention that Lu Hui had long been demoted to the prefectures and counties, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Zhao Ding, Zhao Zhan, Fu Yaoyu and others were also demoted to the prefectures and counties by him.

Ouyang Bian naturally would not miss this opportunity. He took this opportunity to put several people from the central bank into the Censorate. Fan Chunren and others had a good relationship with him, but they were too straightforward.

Officials who were born in the censors worked in the censors from the beginning, so their style was straightforward and they didn't know how to adapt.

What Ouyang Bian stuffed in this time was all experienced by the central bank. With rich work experience, he naturally would not follow the crowd.
