A lesson from Wang Anshi's changes!

Hearing this, Zang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Anshi was always the object of criticism by scholars before the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there were even scholars who believed that it was his changes that caused the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the mainstream public opinion, Wang Anshi is denied and Sima Guang is admired.

It wasn't until after the Qing Dynasty that Liang Qichao overturned the case for Wang Anshi, and he praised Wang Anshi as the only perfect person under three generations.

From then until today, mainstream public opinion has become in favor of Wang Anshi's change of law and belittles Sima Guang.

And when Lin Yanchao proposed that the government would not sell grain in the warehouse, he knew that his words had moved Zang Weiyi.

But to be impressed, in the face of the pros and cons, he must also analyze clearly.

Selling grain in warehouses benefits the government and harms the people.

As the governor of a province, what he wants is the interests of the government, and he also focuses on the interests of the common people?

It was a choice before him.

You must know that Henan is not rich, since several years ago, the imperial court has been in arrears to Henan officials, and even last year's Yulu, most of the officials have not received it until now.

At this time, Zang Wei said: "Kaifeng's Shan Governor's Mansion, he kept saying that he was asking for the people's life, and he was not afraid of those grain merchants, and in the end he was the one who colluded with the grain merchants." ”

Zang Weiyi was angry, and then Huang Yu said: "Lord Zhongcheng, please stop your anger!" ”

Lin Yanchao also hurriedly said: "The lower official is just speculating, and there is no real evidence, and I ask Lord Zhongcheng to forgive the sins of the lower official." ”

Zang Wei said gently: "Zong Hai is okay, this court wants to thank you for speaking out." ”

Huang Yuqi said: "Lord Zhongcheng, today's plan is to stabilize food prices. ”

Zang Wei reprimanded: "These grain merchants deliberately inflated the price of grain in order to coerce this court. If this court shows weakness, how will it serve the public in the future? ”

"Please also ask Zhongcheng to think twice," Huang Yuqi strongly persuaded, "even if Zhongcheng wants to do these profiteers, it must also consider the millions of ordinary people in Henan." ”

Zang Wei nodded a little and said: "Mr. Huang is right, what he said is so, when the green and yellow were not received in March this year, the price of grain in Huguang was still one stone and one tael, but even so, it was only one stone and two taels when it was transported to Kaifeng. Huguang grain is so cheap, what will happen to the millions of people in Henan by then? ”

Huang Yuqi also said: "Yes, one acre of land in Huguang can collect three to five stones, but in addition to silt fields in Henan, ordinary people's fields can collect one stone per acre is Shangtian, and most of the rest are only a few buckets." ”

Zang Wei said solemnly: "Gu Gui hurts the people, but Gu Gui also hurts the peasants." The price of grain in Huguang is so low, and the people will not think about production at that time, and they will inevitably lose their hearts and minds. ”

Huang Yuqi: "It's not going in, it's not going back." Can Lin Futai have a high strategy? ”

Lin Yanchao looked at the two of them singing and harmonizing for a while, and he already knew it in his heart.

When asked about himself, Lin Yanchao smiled, drank a glass of wine, and then pressed his knees and said: "At the beginning of the official ranking, I didn't know anything, but at that time, I entered the Wenyuan Pavilion to be in the east room, and asked my mentor Shen Ge Lao. ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Lin Yanchao. Shen Shixing from Hanlin to Shoufu, standing in the political arena for 20 years has not fallen, on the way of officials, not to mention the dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty is afraid that there are few people who can compare with him.

They all wanted to know what Shen Shixing said to Lin Yanchao.

But seeing Lin Yanchao said: "At that time, the teacher said the four words 'Xieli Yin and Yang'. When he was an official, the lower officials have been figuring out the four characters, which are placed at present, and the lower officials are foolish in their opinion, neither can they continue to hurt the people because of the local grain merchants, nor can they hurt the peasants for the sake of the Huguang grain merchants. Biasing on both sides is not to manage yin and yang, so this can not be repaired and weededed, and it is not possible to cultivate grass and cut flowers. ”

"Zong Hai's words are really insightful." Zang Weijie praised.

Lin Yanchao said: "Lord Zhongcheng, the lower officials dare not be ashamed, everything is up to Zhongcheng's decision!" ”

Zang Wei nodded and said: "That is the case, the grain cannot be sold, and the Jialu River still needs to be dredged, but it can be made clear to the local grain merchants that the government can impose heavy taxes on the Susong and Huguang grain ships on the Jialu River, and then ask them to immediately stabilize the price of grain." ”

"If they don't agree, then in two months, the Huguang grain ship loaded with rice will be parked on the dock in Zhuxian Town!"

Lin Yanchao and Huang Yuqi praised together: "Lord Zhongcheng is clever! ”

Zang Wei smiled and Lin Yanchao said, "If it weren't for Zong Hai, this court would really be at a loss." ”

After that, everyone chatted a few more words, and Lin Yanchao continued to keep a low profile and didn't say a word, so as not to give the governor the impression of being frivolous and magnified.

When the banquet was withdrawn and the people on the side brought refreshments, Lin Yanchao immediately retired to Zangwei.

Zang Wei sent it outside the courtyard gate, and then asked Topaz to send Lin Yanchao.

Walking out of the courtyard, there was Huang Yuqi left beside him, and Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief.

At every intersection, there were officers and soldiers guarding them, and they came along the road, but they saw the pavilions and pavilions in the governor's yamen.

This is not necessarily much prosperous, and it is not even as exquisite as the gardens that Lin Yanchao has been to in the past.

But for some reason, the place where the feudal officials stop has a first-class forest and awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Along the way, Huang Yuqi chatted with him Lin Yanchao casually, and he didn't talk about any political affairs, just pointed out where the study building was, where the stage was, and what was the origin of this plaque and that stone.

Which governor planted the tree, and which nobleman built it.

When Lin Yanchao was sent out of the yamen, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but show envy.

On the side, Huang Yuqi provoked him with words: "Lin Futai, young and gentle, the official to the prefect, and the holy family is there, the future is unlimited, the official to the feudal official is just around the corner, and Huang will ask the government to take care of it in the future." ”

The cold wind blew, and Lin Yanchao suddenly did not mean to answer perfunctorily, but said with a straight face: "Delong Wangshu, human nature, when I used to know the same thing, I would think about how the prefect was." But when he became the prefect, he was ashamed of himself when he came to the provincial capital and went around. ”

"No matter how big the official is, this is insignificant. Only for the country and the people can we do our work, seek well-being for the people, do our best, and do our best, and the officials and officials must do it! ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao shook Huang Yu and returned to the car.

Sitting in the car, Chen Jichuan asked Lin Yanchao: "How is the master, has everything been done?" ”

After Lin Yanchao waited for the car to stay away from the governor's yamen, he said: "The law is on it, and it is in it." ”

Huang Yuqi returned to the governor's study, but saw Zhang Hezheng and Zang Wei having a relationship.

Zang Wei saw Huang Yuqi and asked, "Why is Lin Sanyuan gone?" What was said on the way? ”

Topaz replied 1510.

Zang Wei pinched his beard and said: "Lin Sanyuan is sarcastic that this court is unwilling to serve the people wholeheartedly?" ”

Huang Yu said: "Dong Weng, Lin Sanyuan is Yuan Fu's proud protégé, and he needs to be deliberately wooed. ”

Then Zang Wei nodded and said: "It's just a joke, if it weren't for his truth, this hospital would still be kept in the dark by the people below." At the beginning, Shenwu County asked this court to serve as an official in Henan, and he could ask Lin Zonghai if he had any trouble. At that time, I thought that he had asked the hospital to take care of his protégé. Today, I think about it, is it because this hospital underestimated the younger generations, or because I listened to Mr. Huang's words and asked him to explain it, it was only then that we could sort out the clues of this surge in food prices. ”

Huang Yu said: "Dong Weng, where does the villain have any credit. The villain's understanding of Lin Sanyuan still comes from Zhang Jiangling's vision. ”

"Oh?" Zang Wei became interested, "This court has heard that Zhang Jiangling said that he has a blue eye for this son, and said that this son can hold a waist jade, but the two have a personal relationship, what is going on?" ”

Huang Yuqi smiled and said, "The villain heard some of them in the Zhangjiang Mausoleum back then. I don't know when I said it, but I did hear Zhang Jiangling say that Lin Zhifu, he was still Hanlin at that time, and there were discrepancies between the statement and the folk rumors. ”

"Oh, that's interesting, let's hear it."

Huang Yuqi said with a smile: "At that time, Lin Zonghai offended Zhang Jiangling for some reason, Zhang Jiangling said to his sons, this son is thoughtful and plays tricks, I am very disgusted. ”

"At that time, I thought to myself, with Zhang Jiangling's ability, I can't deal with a Hanlin, even if he is Lin Sanyuan? I only listened to Zhang Jiangling and said, 'However, only this son, after a hundred years, I can be the prime minister.' ”

Zhang He, who had not spoken, said: "Don't waste talents based on preferences, Zhang Jiangling is the prime minister, of course, it is not surprising to have such an open-mindedness." ”

Huang Yuqi glanced at Zhang He and said with a smile: "Everyone understands Zhang Jiangling's last sentence, but what about the previous sentence?" ”

Zhang He thought about it for a long time and couldn't help but be silent.

Zang Weiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't sell it, hurry up." ”

Huang Yuqi pinched his beard and said: "Dong Weng, you want to deal with the Huguang grain merchants so much, why does Lin Yanchao have to use the method of heavy taxation of the Jialu River grain boat?" ”

"Because the new river of Jialu is only seventy miles, while the old river is more than two hundred miles. Generally, grain ships take Xinhe to Kaifeng, but if Xinhe will levy heavy taxes in the future, then in order to avoid taxes, Huguang grain merchants can rather take the Xuzhou small pontoon bridge and transport grain ships to Kaifeng from Guide to Kaifeng? ”

Hearing this, Zhang He couldn't help but slap the table and said, "This son...... This son is so ......."

"Zhanghe!"

Zang Wei reprimanded.

Zhang He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord Zhongcheng forgives your sins." ”

Zang Wei smiled and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Huang's reminder, this hospital would have almost ......."

Zhang He also said: "Yes, I am unwilling from the bottom of my heart. Zhang Jiangling is right, this son is really thoughtful and good at playing tricks. ”

Zang Weiyi: "That's someone else's ability, what do you think, Mr. Huang?" ”

Huang Yuqi said: "I still say the same thing, Lin Sanyuan is Yuanfu's proud protégé, and he needs to be deliberately wooed, and he will look good when he returns to Jingshen Pavilion in the future." This Li Zihua is too stupid, he offended Lin Yanchao, and then offended Shen Ge Lao, now not only can he not keep the governor of the river, but he will also be held accountable, and even his house will be raided! ”

Zang Wei nodded slowly, and then said: "This court understands, in fact, even if I don't look at Shen Ge's face, I need to show him a favor." ”

After a pause, Zang Weiyi looked at Huang Yuqi, Zhang He, and then said: "This court can't be as stupid as Li Zihua, how can the future prime minister be offended." ”

All three laughed.
