In the autumn of the second year of Huangyou, Wang Anshi was transferred from the magistrate of Yin County to the magistrate of Shuzhou. After entering Beijing to report his work, he took a train from Kaifeng Prefecture to Xiangzhou, and then transferred to Shuzhou by water. When he arrived at Fancheng Station, he specially transferred to Zaoyang to visit Du Zhongxiao.

In that Jinshi, Wang Anshi was the top scholar, but because of the words "A friend of the child" that he badly defeated the emperor and became the fourth place. The ranking cannot be changed, and the talent of the top scholar was also remembered. When the judge of the Jiedushi of Huainan was remanded, some ministers recommended Wang Anshi to enter the hall, but he refused and was appointed as the magistrate of Yin County. Later, ministers continued to recommend him, but Wang Anshi refused, insisting on being an official in the local area and increasing his chances of training.

Du Zhongxiao was not very talented and did not dare to go to the Pavilion. Wang Anshi believed that it was a place of Qingting, and believed that local experience was important, so he insisted on being a local official. In the second year of Qingli, the only two of them were not in the Pavilion to take up their posts and became the Qingming official.

Unlike Wang Anshi, Du Zhongxiao took over a library position. This is the benefit of paying money and being promoted quickly. Don’t be useless. Wang Anshi has a political cleanliness obsession and even refuses such opportunities, or even the opportunity to be promoted beyond the level of level. He must step by step.

The two were almost two extremes. Du Zhongxiao was promoted from above and became the supervisor. Wang Anshi worked step by step, not promoted until he was appointed according to the law of the mill and the law, and became the state magistrate.

After receiving the news, Du Zhongxiao welcomed the town early. Seeing Wang Anshi riding a green donkey, he brought an old servant, and came slowly, and hurriedly came up.

After the two of them met, Du Zhongxiao said, "Jie Fu is here, why not come early to write a letter? I will meet you in Fancheng, so you don't have to run around."

Wang Anshi bowed: "I came to see Xiao this time and wanted to see the field affairs. I have a lot of prosperity from the Beijing West Yingtian. I don't see it with my own eyes. I feel regretful. It's better to see it at first sight. After seeing it myself, I know how to achieve this today."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, then stay here for a few days, and I will look around with you!"

After saying that, he walked side by side with Wang Anshi and walked slowly towards the town. After entering the town, Wang Anshi saw the prosperous streets and said, "There are crowded here and the market is prosperous, not within a large county. It is really hard to believe that this will be possible in just two or three years."

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are so many people in the field business. Once the population is large, the business will inevitably prosper, so it will naturally become lively."

Wang Anshi nodded, and did not say much. He only looked at both sides of the street, observed the customs and customs, and entered the Yingtian Affairs Office.

Zhang Xingzhi and Su Shunqin were handling official duties, and Du Zhongxiao led Wang Anshi to his residence and sat down in the study.

After recounting his farewell love, Du Zhongxiao said: "We have not seen each other for nine years since we parted in the capital. The young Jinshi was gradually entering middle age and no longer the time when he was full of energy. Jiefu came here, he must stay for a few more days to tell his farewell love."

Wang Anshi bowed: "Dare not obeying orders."

At this time, Du Zhongxiao was already a doctor of the branch, a constitutional minister, one of the youngest officials of this level, and has a bright future. If it were someone else, he would definitely give a compliment first and recommend him when he had the opportunity. Wang Anshi never mentioned it, but based on the friendship of the same year, he told about his love for the past few years. Speaking of which, there were many ministers who recommended Wang Anshi, but Du Zhongxiao could not be ranked at all.

After getting tea, Wang Anshi said, "When I passed Baitingjian on the road, I got off there and lingered for a few days. Zirong was there and Ren Zhijian, and had a great conversation with me, which solved many of my doubts."

Su Song was also in the same year, and he was only a B-Class. At this time, he became an instructor and his official position was above Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi had no grudges about this and was very grateful for Su Song's reception, especially he had no reservations. He explained the operation of the Iron Supervision in detail, which opened Wang Anshi's eyes.

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The Jingxi Yingtian was so smooth, thanks to the Iron Supervision. With the Iron Supervision, there were various agricultural tools, so the field management did not cost much money. When the field was not financially available, you could also borrow from the Iron Supervision. That's not there, how could it be so easy to build the field?"

Wang Anshi nodded: "That's true. I have seen it in the Iron Supervision, which is really eye-opening. I never expected that there would be such a place in the world, which makes all kinds of goods like this. In my opinion, there are more than ten people in the Iron Supervision. All kinds of machines are of infinite practical use. If a few more Iron Supervision are built in the world, why should the court worry about lacking money and food? If the things there are exchanged for money, it will definitely exceed the tea tax and wine tax."

Seeing Wang Anshi being serious, Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "There is only one difficulty. The goods in the Iron Supervision are useful everywhere and everyone wants them, but where can they make so much money? If all the goods in the Iron Supervision are bought, the world will inevitably be short of money and cannot be sold. So now, most of the goods produced there are not sold, but are directly distributed by the court. In this way, there will be less money earned."

Wang Anshi said: "This is a good thing. Without the goods from the Iron Supervisor, the world is short of money and is short of money everywhere. So when I know, how should I deal with this matter? You can't always do this. The court will transfer it to other places and only pay back some money and food. This is true. For the Iron Supervisor, there is no big difference between doing well and doing poorly. Those who are in charge of things will definitely not be careful."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What else can I do? It is to ask for more money in the world and have enough money for the market, everything is easy to do?"

Wang Anshi nodded repeatedly: "I think so too, but there is no good way. If you use Jiaozi like Xichuan, it will inevitably lead to weak trouble in the court and harm the people. If you want to mint more coins, you will have a lot of copper in the world, and iron coins will be inconvenient."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Jie Fu, since we have mentioned it, we will discuss this matter, and there is nothing to do with it. What is a shortage of money? It cannot be said that the shortage of money is not enough in the world, but the shortage of money on the market. The money on the market is not only related to the amount of newly minted money every year, but also to two things. One is that when the people get money, they will disappear from the market. Another, even if they don't save it, they will always spend money when they use it. This time may be three or two days, several months, or even a year record. It means that the money goes from one person to another, the faster the time, the better. One is that too much money is saved, and the circulation time is too long, the shortage of money is."

Wang Anshi nodded repeatedly, which was something he had never thought about before. The first point he could understand was that Wang Anshi's understanding of the shortage of money was not enough, but the other was that the wealthy households in the world accumulated wealth and kept the money in the wealthy family. The solution was relatively rough, that is, to enrich the people and help the poor households. Many measures of Wang Anshi's reforms in history were related to this. The impact of the speed of currency circulation was something he had not noticed before.

Du Zhongxiao said: "It has been more than a thousand years since the Han Dynasty cast Wuzhu coins. How much money has been minted in the people in the past dynasties? After the founding of this dynasty, the amount of money was minted in each dynasty was probably not as good as the old money accumulated. If these money were not hidden in the treasury and buried underground, they could be used for use. Why is there a shortage of money? The goods in the Iron Supervision Bureau are mostly large, and transactions require a lot of silver. People who don’t have a lot of money in their homes can actually not do business with the Iron Supervision Bureau. Such a business restricts the circulation of copper coins, which is another difficulty."

Wang Anshi thought for a while and asked, "Is Changpingsi opening a shopping mall in Fancheng and other places so that the goods can be sold easily and the money can flow as quickly as possible? This is also a way. Such a business can indeed use a lot of money."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is the same. If you really want to solve the money shortage, you have to use other methods. But I am plagued by everything. Now I just have ideas and have not implemented it yet. I will only start this matter after a year or two. With money shortage, it is not only difficult for the iron supervision to do, but also the mall has many difficulties."
