Chapter 91 Please strike the market and change the law!
When Cai Jing heard Wang Anshi's words, his face turned pale.
This is about to poke a hornet's nest.
Cai Jing knew very well that with this energy, most of the merchants in Bianjing City had closed down, and there were only a few people or institutions, and there were only a few, but those were not something he could afford.
He is crazy if he asks him to order these people!
Cai Jing raised his head, but saw Wang Anshi staring at him coldly. Cai Jing suddenly felt a sudden heart. Understand that his reaction made Wang Anshi dissatisfied. He quickly said, "Okay, Dagan, I will implement it as soon as possible."
Wang Anshi stared at Cai Jing and said, "The city merchants must open their doors to do business. Whoever instructs them to do this must also be found!"
Cai Jing fled out of the signing house in panic.
Wang Anshi's two instructions were very difficult, but Cai Jing felt that he could not do it anyway.
Some small merchants in the city are naturally afraid of power, but most of the merchants are industries of officials, and many are industries of nobles and royal families.
Wang Anshi is not afraid of these things, but Cai Jing is afraid!
Cai Que is right. If Wang Anshi arrives, his tycoon will definitely become the target of revenge.
If we simply formulate the market law, the problem is not too big, after all, it is not targeted at anyone.
But now he is the person who implements it. He wants to find out the mastermind behind the plan for the general strike and to restore business to the entire Bianjing City. How can he do this without thunder?
It was not difficult to do it. Cai Jing turned his mind and found several methods, but they were all means to offend people.
The crime of hoarding the big merchants and raising prices was the target of the attack on the market law, and the property of these big merchants was confiscated, even cut off a bunch of heads and exiled them for thousands of miles. In this way, most merchants would not have the courage to fight against the court again.
This method can naturally be tried and tested, but Cai Jing can't continue to do it.
But if he dares to disobey now, Wang Anshi will dare to let him not be able to survive now!
Cai Jing found that he was already in a dilemma.
...
Wang Anshi had no time to ask Cai Jing for trouble because Zhao Xu summoned him into the palace.
Wang Anshi hurried to Chongzheng Hall, and Zhao Xu did not get up to greet him as usual, and his face was not very good-looking. When he saw Wang Anshi coming in, he moved his butt a little, saying hello.
Wang Anshi's heart moved: "Your Majesty?"
Zhao Xu handed the memorial in his hand to Huang Huaiyi, and Huang Huaiyi quickly took it and sent it to Wang Anshi.
When Wang Anshi saw it, he was immediately angry: "The market law was promulgated the day before yesterday, and the market was immediately stopped yesterday. Today, Li Chang handed over the "Book of the Market Way". In this book of the market Way, the criticism logic is clear, and one link after another. I am afraid that it will not be written in one or two days. I am afraid that this has been prepared for a long time!"
Zhao Xu looked at Wang Anshi and said, "Wang Aiqing, what should we do now?"
Wang Anshi said angrily: "Your Majesty, this matter must be a group of villains coming for the new law. They have long been deliberately trying to destroy the new law. We must not tolerate it, strictly investigate it, and then find out the behind-the-scenes instructions. If you should be exiled, you should be killed, and you don't have to be lenient at all!"
Wang Anshi's words were murderous.
But he didn't get Zhao Xu's answer.
Zhao Xu said: "Master Wang, it is the first priority to let merchants open their business as soon as possible. Otherwise, in such a big city, citizens will use whatever they eat, drink and use. Moreover, if the strike lasts for more than ten days, how much income will be reduced!"
Zhao Xu spoke quite gentlely, directly calling Wang Anshi Master Wang. This title is closer and he put forward his opinion. Although he did not agree with Wang Anshi's opinion, he did not criticize him, which was quite gentle.
But Wang Anshi was quite dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, this is obviously a villain who is interfering. If we give in, we will not be able to implement this market law.
According to my opinion, we must give them a strong warning so that we can continue to implement the Market Change Law!"
Zhao Xu pressed his anger and persuaded: "Master Wang, of course I know this, but this matter is too big now, and Li Chang's criticism is also correct. If the market law is forcibly implemented, it will indeed cause great harm to the economy. Now that the merchants react so much, they must have really hurt them too much.
Ji Mo once told me that commercial tax has become the foundation of the country. If you want to fill the treasury, it is not possible to rely on agriculture, and business must flourish.
Ji Mo also wrote to me before, saying that the Market Change Law would destroy the economy and kill chickens to get eggs. I actually didn’t believe it at that time, but now the merchants have such a big reaction, and it seems that it makes sense, so it may be safer to move slowly."
Wang Anshi insisted: "Your Majesty's plan to expand the border in the northwest and regain Yan Yun's plan to regain Yan Yun requires a huge amount of money, but it is just a personal income tax. Can it?
Your Majesty untied the farmers, exempting the remittance and change, no longer levy at will, and also exempting corvee labor. Of course, these are great things, but if we want to complete the big plan, we need more money.
The market law does not mean to suck bones and marrow, but to let the country participate and get a small amount of extra money, which is far from hurting vitality.
These merchants reacted so much, but they were just a stingy nature. They dared to fight against the court in this way. This was a provocation of the court. If they did not rectify it, they would think they would dare to rebel with some money!"
Zhao Xu took a deep breath.
"Master Wang, why is this!"
Wang Anshi said loudly: "It must be so!"
Zhao Xu became silent.
Wang Anshi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is of course a good thing for the censors to hear the news, but Li Chang clearly has some advice. There must be someone behind him. Please investigate thoroughly!"
Zhao Xu said with difficulty: "It is their responsibility to hear the news of the censors. If I criticize them with harsh criticism and the congestion of the speech, it will probably cause greater material discussions."
Wang Anshi sighed: "Your Majesty, if this matter is not handled, those ignorant people will feel that Your Majesty is weak. As for those who collude with each other and want to fail, they will think that they are self-deceptive. This is why I dare not not follow Your Majesty's wise edict!
Now that I am going to work hard for Your Majesty's ambitions, but Your Majesty tolerate them and obeys them, then the monarch's power has been taken away by these evil people. If the customs are incited, it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
Nowadays, those vulgar people are determined to "flirting with each other" and collude with each other to stick to the rules. If Your Majesty wants to do something practical, the most feared thing is "flirting with each other", so it is normal for them to block Your Majesty from wielding power.
