Some time ago, a person named Wei Jizong published an article in "Mei Xue" and "The Ming Mirror of the Song Dynasty", which pointed out that the capital department store is inhabited by the market, and the rich people can manipulate and make profits. He suggested setting up the Changping Yisi to manage the market. If the price is low, the purchase will increase, and if the price is high, the sale will be reduced. It is said that it can make "business and travel accessible" and "national use will be sufficient."

At that time, when Wang Jinghui learned about the content of the article published by Wei Jizong, he realized that it was because of this guy's book that inspired Wang Anshi to formulate the market law in history. However, Wei Jizong did not need to write a book, but changed it to publish an article in the newspaper to achieve his goal, which made him a little amused. Wei Jizong's article was not a problem. In fact, Wang Anshi had already formulated the market law and was sent to Wang Shao in the northwest to implement it with Wang Jinghui's intervention. Because Wang Jinghui's businessman capital set up a city law in Wang Shao in the ancient Weicheng of Longzhou, which managed commercial goods and borrowed official money as the basis, and made a profit of more than 500,000 and 600,000 guan a year, rather than a mere 100,000 guan in history.

The world's wealth and goods were all gathered in important places in the capital. This disadvantage was long known by the knowledgeable people of the Song Dynasty. Wei Jizong just told the facts, but this aroused Wang Anshi's nerves. The market law he designed was to assess the price by the market law, and to purchase or sell goods from merchants based on the market situation; in addition, the merchant loaned from the market law, mortgaged the industry, and guaranteed more than five people, and paid two cents of annual interest. The merchant purchased goods from the market law, and also received two cents of annual interest. Both methods were originally manipulated by the big merchants to obtain profits. The two benefits were taken from the big merchants to the court, which was similar to the Qingmiao law to seize the interests of the big landlords.

In Wang Anshi's eyes, the stage of the market-Evolution Law promoted by Wang Shao in the northwest was too small to meet his needs. The most important thing is that the market-Evolution Law Office can make 500,000 or 600,000 yuan a year in places like Xinxihe. What if it was placed in other parts of the Song Dynasty? If the market-Evolution Law can be successfully implemented in the country, the value of the annual profit of the court will be an astronomical number!

Wang Jinghui couldn't understand Wang Anshi's expectations for the market-exchange law. The original intention of the market-exchange law is like the Qingmiao law implemented before. Its starting point is good. It is not against ordinary people, but targeting those big merchants who are willing to take advantage of the famine to make money. However, no one knows better what kind of disaster the market-exchange law will bring to the Song Dynasty's economy than him. Wang Anshi's equal-exchange law is already a headache. Wang Jinghui has been operating below to block the further implementation of the equal-exchange law, and even looking for opportunities to abolish the equal-exchange law. If the current market-exchange law is released at this time, it is not a good thing for the Song Dynasty's economy.

Sima Guang disliked the new law because he believed that the implementation of the new law would inevitably produce a new beneficiary class. Looking at Wang Anshi's team to launch the new law, we can know that this class is mainly composed of young officials. He is well-versed in politics and clearly realized that these young officials have enthusiasm, but in the face of power, their immunity is really limited. Over time, Wang Anshi's new law regulations will inevitably become a tool for lower-level officials to make money to harm the people. Wang Jinghui thought not only that lower-level officials would use the new law to harm the people, but what was more terrible is that although these new laws and regulations reflect very advanced economic ideas, they are unrealistic in this era - advanced things must be placed in a suitable environment to play a role in promoting, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive.

However, in the face of his past opposing the Imperial Law of the Prefectures, Wang Jinghui was a little hesitant - the correct way for the country is of course to keep the Imperial Law in a cage, but putting it out and throwing it into the north to implement it will undoubtedly further weaken the strength of Hebei officials. Although Wang Jinghui and Hebei officials are allies in politics, the conservatism and profit-seeking of Hebei officials also made him feel helpless and even annoyed - Hebei officials are also a famous group of corrupt officials. If they were clean, how could they gather such a huge wealth in such a short time? Using Wang Anshi's hands to attack these rich Hebei local tyrants is also a very good choice...

"The Municipal Yi Law is implemented in the northwest and can be collected for 500,000 yuan of municipal Yi money every year. If the equal-transfer law and the Municipal Yi Law are implemented in Hebei, it can ensure that the prices in Hebei will not rise. The court can also transport food and other disaster relief materials to the most important disaster areas in Hebei at a very low cost. The cost of disaster relief can also be reduced!" Wang Anshi continued.

"The law of market change and the law of equalizing the expiration are both ways to disturb the people, and they are fighting for profit with the people! The law of equalizing the expiration originated in Sang Hongyang of the Han Dynasty. Although the people did not increase taxes and the country was able to use it for more than enough, the magic was not right. Now this revival is full of people, and the court breaks the rules and is fond of profit, and the harm is endless!" Sima Guang said righteously.

"The equal-to-transfer method will capture groceries from all over the country, and fishing and fishing and robbing merchants of a small amount of profit is not desirable!" Zeng Gongliang bowed and said. He is a big boss of Hebei officials. Of course, he knows what it would mean if the equal-to-transfer method and the market-to-transfer method were really in parallel in Hebei. At this time, he must not stand up and speak, otherwise once it is passed, it will be very unfavorable to Hebei officials.

Last spring, the equal-to-export law was issued in Huai, Zhejiang, Jiang and Hu. The Regulations Department submitted a memorial, pointing out the ills of the tax system at that time, saying: "Today, the money and use are in a difficult situation, officials are bound to be ill, and they do not know each other inside and outside, and they do not supplement each other. There are fixed quotas on each road, and they dare not take too much in a good year, and they dare not lose enough in a good year. The three departments, the shipping envoys were collected according to books, without any increase or loss. When encountering the large expenses of military and country sacrifices, they sent envoys to brush, and there was almost no rest.

All the people hide wealth without truth, and they doubled their taxes under the name of "transfer" and "change". Most of the items needed by the court did not follow the origin and the season. Rich businessmen and big businessmen were able to take advantage of the public and private urgent needs, and they were good at scattering the power of scattering and dispersing. Financial officials did not know each other inside and outside, but just followed the account books, regardless of the age of age and the distance of the origin, and the result was that the private tax payment was increased, and the court was still in a hurry to make money, but rich businessmen and big businessmen were able to make profits from it."

For this purpose, the Regulations Department proposed the method of equalizing the land. The shipping officer was appointed to be in charge of the six southeastern routes and had the right to know the financial situation of the six routes. Any purchase, tax collection, and offering items can be "moved to be cheap, and the use is far and wide." The shipping officer also has the right to understand the fixed amount of Kyoto's storage and items that need to be supplied. They can "change from the convenience of saving" and store it for later use. This will "receive the power of light and heavy collection and dispersion" and achieve "the national use can be sufficient, but the people's wealth will not be scarce." Shenzong immediately approved the method of equalizing the delivery, and Xue Xiang was in charge of the matter. The court gave the hidden money of five million stags and three million stags of rice - of course, these three million stags of rice were accounted for by the long-term settlement, and Guanghui's warehouse was strictly protected because of Wang Jinghui.

The equal-to-export method was obviously based on increasing the "national use" of the Song Dynasty, and the reform was very limited, but it somewhat changed the old system of follow-up and appropriately expanded the power of financial officials. It also obviously infringed on the interests of "rich businessmen and big businessmen" to scatter. Once the equal-to-export method was released, some officials opposed it from the interests of big merchants. The "harm" of equal-to-export proposed by the opposition was mainly unfavorable to merchants. The position of speaking on behalf of big merchants was very clear, but the reasons for opposition were very weak. Shenzong was of course unmoved and continued to use Xue Xiang to implement the new law.

Now Sima Guang and Zeng Gongliang are playing again again, so Emperor Zhao Xu's face will naturally not look good, and Wang Jinghui is also disdainful of this. The equal-to-date method is a good way. However, the officials who carried out it are too dark. The official in charge of the matter is called Xue Xiang, which is only one word different from his old partner Xue Xiangzhi. However, his ethics are really uncommon. Wang Jinghui didn't take much effort and had a lot of evidence of this guy's corruption and abuse of power. Xue Xiangdi's hometown property has soared three or four times in the past six months. He can't afford it even in ten years with his salary.

In fact, it is not only the equal-to-date method, but the various new laws proposed by Wang Anshi are still very likely to succeed under the operation of honest officials. Even if the scope of failure is not too wide, it is impossible for public resentment to occur. The only explanation is that the person who enforces the new law has a problem. Suddenly, he had a very interesting idea in his mind - what kind of scene should it be to let corrupt officials who enforce the new law find trouble for those unscrupulous local tyrants in Hebei?!

"To be fair, the new law is a good law, but unfortunately, the unsupported person, Xue Xiang villain! He lets the goods change, even if he makes some money, the amount is very suspicious!" Zhao Qian, regardless of whether Wang Anshi and Sima Guangyuan listened or not, he did not have as much concern as Wang Jinghui. Zhao Qian's position in the court was very mysterious. He helped Emperor Zhao Xu ascend the throne without his predecessor, but his predecessor, Yingzong Zhao Shu, died of illness, which involved another political tradition.

Wang Jinghui remembers that when he was reading the history of the Song Dynasty, in June of the fifth year of Shaoxi (1194), the Privy Councilor Zhao Ruyu forced Song Guangzong to abdicate. This incident is known in history as "Shaoxi's Nei Zen". The cause of the incident was that Song Guangzong was mentally ill, unable to deal with the government and did not visit Song Xiaozong, the father of the Supreme Emperor, for a long time. Especially when Song Xiaozong passed away, Song Guangzong refused to preside over the funeral, resulting in "misrepetition from China and abroad, and no one could come to the point." A group of scholars and officials represented by Zhao Ruyu forced Song Guangzong to abdicate.

The purpose is to stabilize the political situation and maintain the rule of the Zhao family. However, there is a very important issue involved in the middle - "Mencius Wanzhang" chapter: "If the king has made mistakes, he will advise him; if the king has made mistakes, he will give him advice; if the king has made mistakes, he will give him advice; if the king has made mistakes, he will give him advice; if the king has made mistakes, he will give him advice; if the king has made mistakes, he will change his position." The prime minister Liu Zheng was a minister of different surnames, but when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately fled out of Lin'an City. As the minister of the same surname, Zhao Ruyu could not leave and had to "change his position" and make another emperor.

Although Emperor Zhao Xu ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne when Zhao Shu was seriously ill and unable to handle state affairs is no big deal in the eyes of people today. It is normal, but he does not think so in this era - as long as Zhao Shu still breathes a sigh of relief, he is still the supreme ruler of the empire - at least in name, but the empire has already had many ills of politics. If even the emperor cannot manage the government himself, wouldn't it be far from the destruction of the country? In order to allow the living emperor to pass the throne to the next

If you have to stand up and let the emperor abdicate, this task must be completed by a minister surnamed Zhao. Zhao Qian is such a role, which is the same as Zhao Ruyu's role in history. Although strictly speaking, Zhao Qian is far from Han Qi and Fu Bi at that time in terms of fame and real power, this kind of thing must be accomplished by a "Kid of the same surname" and has nothing to do with power. Therefore, the existence of Zhao Qian, the "Kid of the same surname" in the court has extraordinary significance!

Zhao Qian was always famous for his reputation. His special status made him not worry much. When Zhao Shu was in power, Zhao Qian went to Yizhou to be the governor of the state. He carried only a piano and two servants. He was also free and easy and capable, and won a huge reputation when governing Sichuan. He was appointed as the chief of the political affairs of the government. Zhao Qian, who was able to hold the title of chief of the government affairs of the government in the past, was too greedy and had no political achievements, and was given a free and easy position by Zhao Shu to retire.

Theoretically, it is impossible for ministers surnamed Zhao like Zhao Qian to stay in the court for too long. You can think about it if Han Qi had a surname of Zhao, would the emperor keep a powerful minister with great reputation and the ability to "depose and establish" and deal with him?! Zhao Qian dared to preside over the equal-sweeping law in front of Wang Anshi because he knew that his fate would not be much better than Zhao Qian. He had been in Kaifeng, Bian for three or four years, and the calculation time was almost done. In the future, those who waited for him either moved to the place to work. Or they would go home to retire like Zhao Qian, and the word "leave" was the same as Zhao Qian, so they simply let go of their faces and criticized important figures in the reform faction for harming the people by taking advantage of the reform.

Zhao Qian's words were indeed very lethal. He did not speak for the big businessmen, but admitted that the equal-loss law was a good law in a realistic manner. However, the person who enforced it had a big problem, causing the good law to become a Regulations that harmed the people, and the new law became a tool for personal gain in the hands of these officials. However, like Zhao Qian, who could tear his face openly and say that someone was greedy in front of so many heavyweight ministers in the court, was very rare, and Zhao Xu's face became even more ugly. This time he was not angry because the minister opposed the new law, but because the minister whom he entrusted with important tasks was actually a corrupt official. How could he not make him angry? He turned his eyes to Wang Jinghui, as if he was seeking verification.

Although Wang Jinghui hates corrupt officials very much. People like Xue Xiang will never show mercy, but at this time it is a discussion whether to expand the recruitment of the wing army, rather than becoming a place for conservatives and reformists to argue with each other. The timing is not right, so he had to suppress his thoughts and bow and say, "Sage, I think the new law and regulations are generally good out of public interest, but there are any inappropriate aspects in the implementation process. As for Wang Xiang's suggestion that the implementation of the law in Hebei is law and the market law. I do not agree with it--Hebei is suffering from rare droughts and locust plagues. At this time, people are unstable. Even if the new law and regulations are good, the problems in the middle cannot be avoided. It is best not to put the missing new law and regulations in Hebei disaster areas at this time, which may cause some unpredictable things!"

No matter what purpose Wang Anshi stands on his side to come to the enrollment expansion plan of the wing army, Wang Jinghui still has to pay attention to it. After all, more support will lead to more confidence at this time. Moreover, Wang Anshi is different from ordinary people. He is one of the two leading figures in the Song Dynasty, and only his reputation can compete with Sima Guang.

Emperor Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this, while Zhao Qian was a little disdainful. In his opinion, Wang Jinghui's actions were very puzzled. It was rumored that the prince-consort hated corrupt officials the most. It seemed that in this situation, in order to allow the court to use its own strategies, the prince-consort would not hesitate to achieve such political balance. The prince-consort was just like this!

In any case, all conservative officials finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Wang Jinghui's words to prevent the implementation of the new law in Hebei. It was obvious that the new law was more terrifying than the expansion of the army, especially in Hebei, which was the most stubborn area controlled by conservative forces. Han Qi, who was in charge there, echoed each other with Fu Bi from Luoyang. A Qingmiao Law had already made Hebei messy. If the equal-to-world law and the market-free law were put in Hebei for implementation, then I don't know what kind of chaos it would cause. Although some conservative ministers are stubborn in party struggles, they are unwilling to see that the Hebei roads, which have already suffered major disasters, are poured on a spoonful of oil by the new law, which suddenly becomes uncontrollable, which is of no benefit to anyone.

"The Master, except for the 50,000 xiang soldiers in the early stage, which was the main purpose of defending against the military threat of the Liao Kingdom, the remaining xiang soldiers, which were expanded according to the needs, will be converted into settlement soldiers and construction soldiers according to the situation. I have mobilized a large amount of funds through the Chuzhou Xingguo Bank and Hangzhou Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to acquire land from the people of Hebei. In fact, it is a disguised borrowing from the people to overcome difficulties. The people use land as collateral to borrow to prevent the social instability caused by the sudden increase in landless people due to the transition and annexation of disaster land. Each household only extracts one or two people to temporarily enroll in military citizenship to build traffic in Hebei, dredge canals, and build water conservancy facilities. In this way, the income of each household is enough to support the whole family, and the various facilities in the Hebei routes can also be completed at a lower cost." Wang Jinghui said.
Chapter completed!
