Chapter 92 Great Song Chamber of Commerce!
Wang Anshi's long speech made Zhao Xu not know how to refute it, and what Wang Anshi said was indeed very correct, especially the sentence [Now I am going to work hard for Your Majesty's ambitions, but Your Majesty tolerate them and obey them...]. This sentence hit his heart like a sledgehammer, leaving him speechless all of a sudden.
Yes, why did Wang Anshi work so hard and stand against all officials at all costs. Is it for himself? Wang Anshi is extremely honest and doesn't care about any wealth enjoyment. What he does is just for his ideals. What position does he have to persuade Wang Anshi?
Zhao Xu was silent for a while and said, "Then my dear will deal with it as appropriate."
Wang Anshi said without any concessions: "Your Majesty, where is Li Chang?"
Zhao Xu had a headache, and he was indeed accused of being an accused husband.
Zhao Xu said helplessly: "...Or, I'll stay here. Li Chang is the censor after all, so it's hard to deal with it at will."
Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Li Chang is just a flag they used to explore the way. If His Majesty hesitates, they will be even more aggressive in the next wave."
Zhao Xu had no choice but to nod, "Then let Li Chang go to the prefectures and counties."
Wang Anshi then smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."
Wang Anshi left, Zhao Xu was silent for a long time, and Huang Huaiyi came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."
Zhao Xu sighed: "Big partner, you said, why is it so difficult to do something?"
Huang Huaiyi didn't know how to answer, so he was stunned and said, "Maybe it's a human problem?"
Zhao Xu didn't originally want to get the answer from Huang Huaiyi. Huang Huaiyi said this, but instead stunned him: "People's problem?"
Huang Huaiyi nodded: "Yes, I don't know if it's right, but since I entered the palace in the early years of Renzong, I have seen many ministers in the palace for decades, some are enterprising, some are content with the status quo, some are working hard, some are just a corpse, and all kinds of ministers have.
These servants dare not comment too much, but in terms of doing things, the one I admire most is Secretary Ouyang.”
Zhao Xu was interested and said, "Tell me, let me see."
Huang Huaiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Ouyang Jiayou has done many great things since he entered the officialdom in the second year, but in terms of difficulty, the most important thing is reform.
In recent years, all the reforms that have been successfully carried out, such as the method of clearing the land of Zhangzhang, the method of equal transportation and the method of exempting labor, were personally led by Lord Ouyang.
Although there were some changes in the Qingzhangtianmu incident, His Majesty also knew what was going on. Lord Ouyang was forced to resign, but the arrangement before leaving finally made the Qingzhangtianmu incident completely complete. Isn’t this his credit?"
Zhao Xu nodded affirmatively: "Although Ji Mo made a compromise, there is no doubt that it was because of Ji Mo's compromise that Qingzhang Tianmu finally succeeded, so the credit was still Ji Mo!"
Huang Huaiyi was encouraged: "As for the equal-to-demise law and the exemption law, although it was led by Master Wang, the specific reform provisions were derived from the content of the tax law reform that Lord Ouyang had planned at the beginning, and all the specific personnel formulated were from the original working group.
The key is that during the specific implementation process, Lord Ouyang came back to preside over it. Lord Ouyang's series of measures not only implemented the equal-to-economic law, but also formed a system that benefited the country and the people, and liberated farmers from the heavy taxes.
Although Lao Nu is a eunu, he has not many people admired in his life. Lord Ouyang is one of the people I admire the most.
The method of equal loss and the method of exemption from service are cut by local tyrants. Generally, there is no problem with such things, but for Lord Ouyang, he really did it, and he looked like he was slight and he was very impressed, which made people admire him!”
Zhao Xu carefully reviewed Ouyang Bian's various measures, and he really stepped on the idea step by step, which made people amazed repeatedly.
He thought about Wang Anshi's rough behavior again, and his head hurt again.
He sighed: "It will take Ji Mo a long time to become an official!"
He was quite excited.
Wang Anshi is rough in his work, but he really has to use him now.
There are not many people willing to reform, fewer people dare to offend people, and fewer people are able to save the situation. Wang Anshi has many problems, but he is very suitable in this regard.
and……
Zhao Xu knew that Wang Anshi was willing to do some things, but Ouyang Bian might not agree to do them. For example, in the current market law, he knew that he was making money, and Wang Anshi also knew that he was making money, but they were all willing to promote it, but Zhao Xu knew that Ouyang Bian would definitely not be willing.
This really made him guess.
Not only did Ouyang Bian not only refused, but also intervened.
Cai Que found Cai Jing.
In just one or two days, Cai Jing was already withered. He was a handsome young man, and he felt a little bit hurt.
Cai Que was shocked: "Chang Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chizheng, don't mention it. I feel like I'm in hell these two days!"
Cai Que said inexplicably: "Why is this?"
Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I have been investigating the businessmen's strike these two days. I have sought some businessmen and even used methods, but I have not found any evidence."
Cai Que laughed in his heart, you are afraid that it is not that you have found evidence, but that you are afraid of offending others.
"This matter is indeed not that simple, and it is normal for you to not find evidence."
Cai Jing said in surprise: "Is there any news about Brother Jizheng?"
Cai Que nodded: "I heard something."
Cai Jingxi said: "Please give me advice from Brother Zheng."
Cai Que smiled and said, "In the city of Bianjing, can a huge merchant group stop the market all at once. Apart from the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, will there be other people who can do this?"
When Cai Jing heard the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, his neck suddenly shrank.
It’s not that he doesn’t know, he knows it very much.
In Bianjing City, it would be fine if most people don’t know about it, but few people in the officialdom don’t know about it.
Most officials and officials have industries in their families. Since they have industries, they will inevitably have intersections with the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, so few don’t know.
The Cai family is not a top official family, but it is also a rising upstart. He and his younger brother are both from Jinshi and are qualified to come into contact with these.
The Song Chamber of Commerce almost included all the wealthy families and nobles in Bianjing City. Oh, yes, the Song Chamber of Commerce is a national organization, and there are branches of the chamber of commerce in every prefecture and county. It can almost be said that the Song Chamber of Commerce included all the officials of the Song Dynasty and merchants with a little energy.
How could Cai Jing be willing to offend such a giant?
