In the winter of the third year of Xining, Gan Xianggong was in his early thirties and destroyed Dangxiang Xixia and created unparalleled achievements.

It was also in this year that Ouyang Xiu, the deputy political affairs officer, asked to retire himself, and the emperor listened to it and let Ouyang Xiu retire and retire. Ouyang Xiu made a lot of contributions in the officialdom in his life, and his greatest contribution was to reverse the literary style of the literary world, and there were also some things that were difficult to tell right or wrong.

It is not about setting a final conclusion for Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu is really a free and easy person and is not greedy for power. Now in the court, although he is a political affairs officer, he has some feelings about outsiders, so he asks himself to show the style of a scholar.

In the winter of the third year of Xining, Wang Anshi, together with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, served as prime minister with Gan Qi.

Zeng Gongliang was promoted to the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan, and entered the Duke of Lu, and retreated to the second line.

Nowadays, the two prime ministers in the court are Gan Qi and Wang Anshi. This is naturally done by Gan Qi himself, and the system is also like this.

Generally speaking, there were two people in the position of prime ministers. In the past, there was a saying that there were two ministers and ministers. Later, Yuanfeng was reorganized, and there would be a minister and ministers, which also meant that there were two ministers and ministers. There were many deputy prime ministers who would not talk about it.

Zeng Gongliang retreated to the second line, and the fifty-year-old Wang Anshi made a step forward. This was also true in history. In the third year of Xining, Wang Anshi became the prime minister from the position of governor.

Unlike history, the reforms and reforms today are very different. Gan Qi's reforms are naturally completely different from those of Wang Anshi.

Gong Gan went back to the war and sat in the political affairs hall again. People waiting for reports were lined up outside the door.

As the prime minister, Wang Anshi sat on the side of Gan Qi, and the people who reported came one by one, Sima Guang was the first one.

From the moment Sima Guang walked into the Political Affairs Hall, Gan Qi always felt that something was wrong with it, and something seemed to be wrong in the atmosphere.

But Gan Qi had actually expected it.

One Sima Guang and the other Wang Anshi actually represent two sides of Gan Qi.

Sima Guang represented Gan Qi's side to famous scholars and scholars, and Gan Qi's side to "defeat magic with magic", so Gan Qi has always been courteous to Sima Guang. Even if Sima Guang and Gan Qi said anything like cutting the robe and cutting off the meaning, Gan Qi didn't care at all, but kept fooling Sima Guang to do things for him.

Wang Anshi naturally represented the reform and enterprising side of Ganqi. Ganqi almost left the real reform matters and even economic exchanges to Wang Anshi.

So Sima Guang had already determined that Gan Qi and himself were the same type of people, so he was willing to work for Gan Qi. But now, Wang Anshi has been promoted to prime minister, and Sima Guang is still in the Censor General, which has made Sima Guang have some thoughts in his mind...

Because the conflict between Sima Guang and Wang Anshi has begun to form now, the more Gan Qi is not in the capital, the more the conflict between the two will become more and more obvious. There is no way, because the two cannot get together in their thoughts.

Of course, this is not about how much Sima Guang is greedy for power, let alone Sima Guang is not such a person. In the third year of Xining in history, the emperor wanted to be promoted to Sima Guang as deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. Because Sima Guang could not agree with Wang Anshi, he refused to be promoted. He resigned and returned to Luoyang directly. He stayed back to Luoyang for more than ten years and wrote a masterpiece "Zizhi Tongjian".

No matter how bad people are, they cannot deny that Sima Guang really believes in the sages, and even believes in the extremely conservative way.

At this time, Sima Guang felt a little uncomfortable. His thoughts were not because of power, but because of a sense of betrayal. Sima Guang trusted Gan Qi, but Gan Qi trusted Wang Anshi the most. This sense of betrayal was naturally uncomfortable.

Gan Qi could feel the change in the atmosphere. While listening to Sima Guang's report on the supervision of various places in the Censorate, he was thinking about how to continue to fool Sima Guang.

At this time, Gan Qi still valued Sima Guang very much. As long as he won over Sima Guang, Gan Qi would be like he had penetrated into the enemy. As long as he could fool Sima Guang, he could continue to use magic to defeat magic.

So after Sima Guang finished reporting, Gan Qi said, "Brother Jun Shi, this time Jiefu entered the subordinate of the Central Secretariat, which was the intention of Your Majesty. Now it is the time when the matter of dividing acres enters an important stage. Once it is successful, next year will be the time when dividing acres is ready to promote the world. Therefore, the matter of supervising the censors in various places in the Censorate is the top priority. I have thought about it carefully and prepared to advise Your Majesty. Brother Jun Shi is the chief official of the government affairs, but he still has to serve as the Chief of the Censor. I wonder what Brother Jun Shi wants?"

This is the best way that Gan Qi could think of. Sima Guang must not leave the position of the Censorate. Sima Guang must serve as a shield for Gan Qi at the Censorate.

When Sima Guang heard this, he hesitated a little and pondered that Gan Qi now represents the children of sages and Confucian orthodoxy in Sima Guang's heart. However, in this court, there is always an alien like Wang Anshi around Gan Qi, which makes Sima Guang extremely uncomfortable.

It was because Gan Qi was too smart and always told Wang Anshi that some of his radical ideas were heard. Only Wang Anshi could listen to Gan Qi's radical reform ideas, which naturally conveyed them from Wang Anshi, which also made conservative parties like Sima Guang even more dissatisfied with Wang Anshi.

The representative of this situation is that the emperor violently dealt with Cheng Yi and those who asked for the orders. The court was against the emperor and asked the emperor to issue an edict to blame himself. Only Wang Anshi, the only one, was not so opposed, or the opposition was not strong, and he also helped the emperor say a few words from time to time.

This also shows that Wang Anshi's methods are also relatively ruthless. In history, Wang Anshi has also lacked some tolerance. When he was in power and presided over the reform, his methods were extremely ruthless. Any opponent would not let anyone go, all of them were demoted, or even imprisoned.

He even reached a point of literary inquisition. For example, when Su Shi was in Huzhou, when he was in charge of Huzhou, he was immediately arrested and imprisoned at the Censorate for several months after writing a letter and demoted to Huangzhou to become the deputy envoy of the regiment training. He could only start farming in Dongpo and write a "Red Cliff Fu" and other things. Because of this opposition, Su Shi not only went to jail and was demoted, but also implicated dozens of other officials.

Some people say that the large-scale party struggles in the Song Dynasty were caused by Sima Guang, but in fact they were not the case. Many things had causes and effects. When Wang Anshi was reforming, he used all his means to suppress dissidents, and the methods were extremely ruthless and could not be questioned at all. There were countless demoted ministers in the court.

This also directly led to the conservatives coming to power later. Those who were demoted, imprisoned, and implicated in the past naturally had to settle the previous grudges, which led to a large-scale investigation and countless reformists were in trouble again.

This is the causal relationship. It is obviously unfair to blame Sima Guang for all the party disputes.

Sima Guang is a representative of a group group, and Wang Anshi is a representative of another group group. They are not just individuals. Wang Anshi's reform itself is not very successful, and there are many mistakes and omissions. Sima Guang's opposition itself is not really useless, but also has practical significance.

The party struggles ultimately mean that the two factions have too deep hatred for each other. When you beat me to death, I got up, and naturally beat you to death. There is not much rationality among them, but it has become emotional and revenge.

The only rational person was actually Su Shi. Wang Anshi's reform was a lot, and he opposed it a lot, and was unlucky. After Sima Guang came to power, he completely overturned the new law. Su Shi felt that there were still many good policies in the reform, so he should not completely oppose it, and then he was unlucky.

Rational people are a great tragedy in the tide of emotional activities!

At this time, Gan Qi wanted to appease Sima Guang, in order to avoid such large-scale factional conflicts. If you want to boil a frog in warm water, it is actually Gan Qi's skill in balancing, and it is vaguely the emperor's mind.

Sima Guang was still hesitating when he heard Gan Qi's comforting words. This guy also had some backbone. If he was unhappy, he would probably quit and go home to write a masterpiece of history books.

Seeing Sima Guang like this, Gan Qi said again: "Brother Jun Shi, when I went to war, many scholars asked for their orders in the capital. Your Majesty was a bit too aggressive. Your Majesty was young and passionate. He treated the scholars with violent means in anger. I won't talk about this matter. Brother Jun Shi is a straight minister and advises his ministers. He should be a censor and always be alert and teaches Your Majesty. This is the way of loyalty and goodness of the ministers. If you are someone else, you will not be able to advise him like Jun Shi."

Gan Qi was fooling Sima Guang again, and naturally he felt that the emperor did the right thing and sometimes he had to do this. But when he fooled Sima Guang, Gan Qi said something that made Sima Guang agree with, which made Sima Guang feel that Gan Qi was a representative figure among the children of the sage.

This is probably the case when a gentleman deceives him.

When Sima Guang heard this, he was very moved. He came in and felt very depressed. There were two kinds of depression. One was that the emperor could not stand the emperor's attitude towards scholars. He frequently wrote to the emperor, causing the emperor to blame himself, and the emperor would not see him. The other was that he felt a sense of betrayal from Gan Qi. Sima Guang had recently had some idea of ​​going home to write a book.

When he heard Gan Qi's words, he immediately felt that he was recognized. He bowed his hands and said with a sonorous saying: "Gan Xianggong, I only blame the incompetent officials!"

Sima Guang really felt that he was incompetent and could not convince the emperor no matter how he advised him. Isn’t this the incompetence of the Censor General?

Gan Qi waved his hand: "Brother Junshi, don't blame yourself so much. Your Majesty is young, and you and I have the same nature when they were young. No one is wrong. This is what I want to say. I will go to the palace to report tomorrow. Your Majesty is young and should be smart and studious. This is the regulation of all dynasties. When someone attends a lecturer, I will make some suggestions and ask Brother Junshi to take a few days a month to preach the scriptures to Your Majesty. How about it?"

Sima Guang was even more moved when he heard this. He preached to the emperor, which was the way of praising the emperor as a king. This was Gan Qi's job, and it was the honor of the emperor's teacher. More importantly, Gan Qi gave him a chance to educate the emperor to become a talented person.

Sima Guang bowed again: "I must do my best to guide Your Majesty to become a saint with the learning of sages!"

It's really not difficult to fool Sima Guang.

Gan Qi nodded, with a look of relief, and praised: "Your brother is really a pillar of the country."

"Compared to Gan Xianggong, the subordinates are ashamed and dare not take responsibility." Sima Guang really thought so in his heart. Not to mention Gan Qi's achievements, where can he find such a leader?

Sima Guang had already fooled him and happily returned to the yamen.

Wang Anshi was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, but said to Gan Qi: "Gan Xiang, if you really want to talk about it, I think that although Your Majesty was a little radical, there was no fault. At that time, Gan Xiang was not on the spot. Cheng Yi and others were too arrogant. It was not enough to calm the matter if they were cruel and ruthless."

After fooling Sima Guang, Gan Qi had to fool Wang Anshi again. Gan Qi smiled and said, "Right and wrong are not important. Brother Junshi was in charge of the censorship, and he promoted commercial taxes everywhere. He had to rely on him. He did a great job. If he could serve the country with such a heart, it would be a good thing, and it would be of great benefit to the country and the people."

Gan Qi has actually experienced the difficulty of being a referee. Originally, the referee should belong to the emperor, but Gan Qi has now experienced it.

Gan Qi also understood a truth. No matter what era, there are gentlemen of conservatives, who are the bottom line of an era. They also need radicals, who are the upper limit of an era. If an era is only conservative, it will be outdated. If an era is only radical, it will be chaotic.

The best model is that gentlemen do gentlemen's chores, radicals do enterprising chores, and cooperate with each other, that is the best team. The people who gather this team are the top priority.

Gan Qi is becoming more and more proficient in these things.

Wang Anshi nodded: "What Gan Xiang said is reasonable."

The two had a brief exchange, and the reporters walked in one by one, from the Three Divisions, the Privy Council, financial issues, recruitment matters one by one...

By night, Ganqi had not been able to go home yet.

Early the next morning, Ganqi had to leave the city again and see his factory.

The factory has started trial production. While trying, it solves the problems encountered in production. Wu Qiaoer grasps the overall situation. Engineer Shen Kuo is exhausted and even modified all textile machines on a small scale during this period. This is the norm of industrial development.

Gan Qi, the hand-off manager, was just a quick look in the factory. He no longer cared about the specific details. He only saw the results. No matter how complicated or difficult the process was, as a superior, he only had the results.

Wu Qiaoer and Shen Kuo took Gan Qi to take a quick look, reporting on the situation everywhere while walking.

Gan Qi will always ask one question: "How long will it take to start production on a large scale?"

Wu Qiaoer looked at Shen Kuo and asked professionals about this kind of question.

Shen Kuo frowned and replied, "One month is the best, and half a month may be the best."

Gan Qi waved his hand: "In half a month, I will see all the textile machines being produced, and I will see cheap cotton cloth in Bianliang City."

Shen Kuo nodded repeatedly.

But Wu Qiaoer asked: "I'll ask the official to get a card."

Gan Qi really forgot about this, so the company naturally needs a name and the product also needs a brand.

Gan Qi was named quickly: "Qiao'er Textile."

This name is actually a way to gain popularity. Qiaoer Preparation Clothing is a high-end, elegant and high-end brand. Once Qiaoer Textile is released, it naturally represents quality assurance and can reduce some publicity costs.

"My husband, then the official will adjust the loom again and let every piece of cloth weave the words "Qiao'er textile." Engineer Shen Kuo was extremely competent.

Gan Qi was also very satisfied and said, "The following days, the Ministry of Personnel will write an imperial edict and promote you to the Ministry of Works."

If you have great power, you can decide the matter of promotion with one word.

Shen Kuo did not show much joy, but just bowed: "Thank you for your kindness."
