Going east along the Wuzhang River in Kaifeng City, it is Dongming County of the Song Dynasty, which is also under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The magistrate is Jia Fan. This person may not be very famous, but he has a very famous father-in-law, that is Fan Zhongyan.

But the whole thing must have nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan. Maybe if Fan Zhongyan was alive, he would see his like-minded gentlemen transform into this and would be so angry that they vomited blood and died of death.

Kaifeng Prefecture has now implemented the exemption law, and the matter is caused by the exemption law.

That morning, more than a thousand ordinary people suddenly came to the front of Kaifeng Prefecture. At this time, Bao Zheng had been dead for many years. Kaifeng Prefecture had already returned to its original state, unlike Bao Zheng who destroyed the gate and allowed the people to file a lawsuit freely.

Therefore, these ordinary people stood carefully at the yamen gate and said to the yamen runners outside the iron gate that we would file a complaint.

However, the iron gate was always closed, and the new prefect did not accept their complaints.

Who is the new prefect? ​​Liu Xiang, a prodigy, is also a very famous minister. Wang Anshi once deliberately instructed his house's concierge to see other guests. If Liu Yin comes, please notify me immediately.

After hearing this, someone said to Liu Xiang, "The prince is so willing, you should go and meet him."

Liu Xiang said, "Why do I say when he sees it? Since he came to power, there has never been a matter of favor. If he told me about Qingmiao's exemption from service, what would I do to deal with it?"

Okay, let’s distinguish the factions first, and you can understand this matter a little.

However, the people did not know the messy relationship between them. They were waiting. The more Liu Xiang refused to accept it, the more resentful the people would be. At this time, someone suddenly advised them that it would be useless to find a prefect, and they should go to the person who presided over the reform. Without this law of exemption from the military service, can you suffer?

With the guidance of this kind-hearted person, more than a thousand ordinary people rushed to Wang Anshi's home all at once.

At this time, Liu Xiang deliberately delayed it, and it took him a long time to delay it. The officials paid the price, and only then did someone "remind" these people, and the anger of the people can be imagined.

More than a thousand ordinary people surrounded Wang Anshi's house at once.

This is the day. Can that official think of something like this?

If Wang Anshi was at a loss or ran away at this time, he, the Prime Minister, would not be able to save him.

However, facing more than a thousand angry people, Wang Anshi did not choose to escape. Instead, he walked out of the house and asked, what are you doing?

Very calm.

He was the Prime Minister of the State. As long as he had the courage to stand here, the people would still be afraid. So the people stopped making noise. Someone replied, "We are all fifth-class households, but after the exemption law arrived in Dongming County, they suddenly became third-class households."

First, let’s talk about the levy of the exemption law. Because the situations of the rich and the poor in each prefecture and county are different, the income and expenses of the people are also different, and the prices are even different, so the levy is based on the actual situation of each prefecture and county.

The enforcement targets of the Imperial Service Law are families with third-class households or above, at least on the surface. Therefore, the exemption of service is mainly distributed from the Imperial Service Law to the third-class households or above. The richer the more, the more the higher-class households can be distributed to millions of dollars, which means they have to pay thousands of chunks of exemption of service a year. Think about the sensation caused by the Qingmiao loan that the Qingmiao Law pays in one year...

But it was helpless. There were so many servants across the country who switched to recruitment and wanted to spend more money on the left and the levy was less. Is that possible?

Therefore, in history, in the nine years of Xining, he paid 6.5 million yuan (stone stone) for the money he paid for just servicing, and not only that. First, this is the money he paid for, so the proportion of stone bundles was not high, mostly servicing and servicing, that is, money and silk. Therefore, the actual amount was greater than servicing. Secondly, in addition to this money, there was also 3.9 million yuan left. Because Chengdu’s road was rich, the money he paid 6 million yuan from the sixth to nine years of Xining alone!

That's it. At that time, the entire Song Dynasty had not fully implemented the new military law.

Besides, this is the data from the national statistics, and the corruption below is not included. That is, the actual amount of levies may be one and a half times.

Besides, Kaifeng Prefecture is undoubtedly a wealthy place, so the number of levies is also quite large.

Dongming County suddenly turned these fifth-class households into third-class households. Wouldn't it take the lives of these people?

This problem is very serious. Where is Dongming County? It is just next to the capital. Think about the implementation of the new law. Those on the capital will be twisted like this. So what will the remaining area look like?

Dongming County did this clearly because it wanted to completely destroy the new law, but he was still very calm and asked, do you know that you came to Dongming County?

The people thought about it and replied, but they didn't know.

Wang Anshi said, since Kaifeng Prefecture does not accept it, then you go to the Censorate to complain.

This is done according to the procedures and is impeccable.

These people went to the Censorate again. The Censorate was Yang Hui. He vaguely said that our yamen only accepted disputes between officials, and you ordinary people had nothing to do with the Censorate. Isn’t this nonsense? What is the equivalent of the Censorate in the Song Dynasty? The Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme Court, and the final trial department for the unjust cases of the people, has nothing to do with the Censorate?

But these fifth-class people didn't understand. They had no way to appeal and left the capital one by one.

As soon as they left, Yang Hui immediately became energetic and wrote a letter the next day that the service money was collected according to the property level of households and other households. Therefore, this identification should be based on the county. The county must rely on the head of the household, the main house, and the main house, the main house, and the bottom of the village, to be realistic. But now it is not like this. Instead, the Sinong Temple stroked a big pen in the capital and then forced it to all counties. It didn't even look at the original households of the court, but it was distributed to all counties, so this farce appeared.

In fact, Yang Hui and others also made a serious mistake here.

That is, the new law is indeed making money, plus the execution ability, so after it is promoted, Dongming County is definitely not an individual case, but there may be no conspiracy behind it, the scale will not be so large, and it will not shock the capital.

However, Yang Hui pointed the finger at Sinong Temple. It turned out that Wang Anshi had set up the Sansi Regulation Department. In the opposition of Wen Yanbo and Han Qi, the Sansi Regulation Department was abolished and changed it to the Zhongshu Regulation Department. However, it was very inconvenient to place it in the Zhongshu. Therefore, Wang Anshi transferred these powers to Sinong Temple. Although the decision-making power was not as good as the original Sansi Regulation Department, it included the executive power. The actual rights were combined and exceeded the original Sansi Regulation Department.

After hearing this, Wang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, so he pretended to be sick at home. Anyway, he became unhappy and got sick together, Han Qi, Chen Xiang, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi...

Then I sent someone to secretly find out the truth.

It turned out that Jia Fan was not only Fan Zhongyan's son-in-law, but also was once a vassal official of Wen Yanbo.

With this, no problem can be explained.

However, Wang Anshi's subordinates learned another incident. When Dongming County was trying to implement the exemption law for military exemption, it was because the executives bullied the weak and were afraid of the strong and engaged in power-for-money transactions, so the division of households was very unstandard. The real first-class households could be divided into second-class households and third-class households to reduce the number of levies. However, Sinong Temple has indeed made the exemption amount of levies, and these households were reduced. Where did the money be distributed, they had to forcefully raise the fourth-class households, and then the story of more than 1,000 households in fifth-class households turned into third-class households.

This is a powerful evidence, which suddenly refuted what Yang Hui said about identifying the county, and that the county must be headed by the household leader and the household leader must be headed by the village.

Not only that, these people were not convinced and went to the county government to file a lawsuit. Jia Fan not only refused to accept it, but also said something. How can you support your family if you are not corrupt? You will be punished again and be punished.

The people were desperate and gathered to the capital.

The truth came out. Zhao Xu deliberately let the eunuch tell him that Wang Anshi entered the palace. If there is such a bastard official, whether there is a law of exemption from service or not, something will happen. However, Zhao Xu asked another sentence. What is the relationship between Jia Fan and Privy Councilor?

Privy Councilor undoubtedly refers to Wen Yanbo.

There are many strange things in between, and Zhao Xu can't think much about it.

Wang Anshi said, I don’t know.

Without evidence, what can he say. However, Wang Anshi added implicitly, who can become a minister and a close minister who is a saint, who is a censor who is not a common man? His Majesty did not carefully understand the truth of the loyalty and evil, and left to show his punishment. What are the villains afraid of? The villains are not afraid of, so they dare to join in. Although Your Majesty is smart to defeat him, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to achieve the rule even if he is hard.

This is very obscure. You want to use your personal strength to balance the art without hitting the opposing ministers. Therefore, these opposing reforms are not afraid and have done so many things. In the end, this reform will definitely fail!

More than ten years later, the reform failed...

Zhao Xu was silent.

Therefore, although Wang Anshi was stubborn, he was not as glorious as later generations imagined in the reform, nor was he as reused as later generations imagined.

Wang Ju thought that Zhao Xu was a reduced version of Emperor Wu of Han. This is why, first, he did not know people. Although he also used foreign relatives, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing did not lead the three armies at the beginning, but instead fought step by step to prove himself. What did Gao Zunyu prove? Did he rely on the small sniper battle in Taozhou? Second, he didn't use doubts, but he didn't use doubts. This was the way to use people. However, Zhao Xu's weapon was too small, so he did not do it, especially to balance, which allowed the power of the conservative ministers to be preserved and eventually grew. Therefore, once Zhao Xu died in the front, the reforms were completely overthrown.

When Wang Anshi saw that Zhao Xu was not speaking, he knew it and retreated silently.

This matter was left unresolved.

But Wen Yanbo was so angry that he vomited blood at home. Can you, Jia Fan, say anything? In the Song Dynasty, he dared to say that officials were not corrupt, so how could he support his family?

Jia Fan's official position was broken down, and even Wen Yanbo could not shelter.

The plot ended in a farce.

Wang Ju also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there is no evidence of Wen Yanbo's participation in the Dongming County incident, Wen Yanbo is also suspected of being under the plum blossoms. So during this period, Wen Yanbo dared not make any noise.

However, in his heart, he was still a little unhappy.

But it was time to leave Yanzhou.

Wang Ju and his officers and soldiers slowly withdrew from Yanzhou.

He did not expect something would happen. In fact, because the Liang family's poor soldiers were deposed, the people of Xixia lived a very poor life in recent years. Wang Ju was the enemy, but he did a good job in Yanzhou, at least he did not collect taxes. Moreover, because of salt and the exchange of livestock fur, he also brought a considerable income to the people of Yanzhou. Prisoners of war belonging to Yanzhou were also released in advance, and many people died in Qingzhou, but Wang Ju cannot be blamed.

On the battlefield, either you die or I die. It was the Western Xia who invaded the Song Dynasty, or the Song Dynasty who invaded the Western Xia. Moreover, the Song Dynasty's military discipline was really good, and there was almost no disturbance to the people.

Therefore, Wang Ju led the Song army to evacuate from Yanzhou, and many people actually sent him to see him reluctantly.

The people of Xixia actually couldn't bear to leave the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers... This was a really depressing scene. The spys who were watching from a distance couldn't help but think of it.

The three armies slowly retreated to Fort Waiwei, stopped again, and were about to hand over the prisoners of war in front of Fort Waiwei.

Xixia quickly sent people to pick up prisoners.

But the person who came was a bit unexpected.

"Has Liang Yi been buried?" Wang Ju felt very strange, then thought for a while and called Yan Da over.

Old Dou was tired and sick, so he was rewarded and transferred Dou Shunqing back to the capital to recuperate. Yan Da replaced Dou Shunqing as the deputy general manager of Huanqing Road, Zhong Gu was transferred to Yuanzhou, and Yao Yi was replaced. Other generals also received some rewards, but most of them were promoted to officials, and Wang Ju also gained several officials, including a fifth-rank Zhongsan doctor. In fact, the biggest change brought by Wang Ju was a series of changes in military generals. For example, Zhang Yu was still serving as the deputy general manager in Qingzhou at this time, while Zhong Gu was in Yuanzhou, and Huanzhou was a Zhong Diagnostic. Now that the change has been made, Zhong Diagnostic and Zhang Yu were transferred to Hebei.

This is irrelevant. It is mainly through this series of battles. It is basically clear who can fight and who can't fight. Especially the second Yao, Liu Changzuo, Wang Junwan and other generals, and even Wang Shao was drooling in Qinzhou, and was thinking about how to get these generals to Qinzhou.

Of course, if Yan Da became the deputy general manager of the Huanqing Road, Wang Shao would not be able to do it.

Wang Ju and Yan Da whispered.

Yan Da nodded, then opened the fort gate, and with his shout, thousands of cavalry rushed towards Liang Yimeng.

What is this for? Liang Yimeng was shocked. Could it be that this was Wang Ju's trick? So he shouted loudly: "Retreat, withdraw."

Where was the retreat? The thousands of prisoners he brought ran away together. (To be continued.)
