Chapter 39: Returning the Rain to the Sunny Counsel (19)

[The second shift, the third shift will be tomorrow morning.] 】

Han Gang felt very sorry in his heart, the vacancy at the top level was not something that could be found casually, and at the same time, there was even less chance of getting a few positions below.

It's a pity that what Han Gang lacks most now is the middle layer at the level of Wenchen and court officials, otherwise he can still have some ways to directly elevate Lu Jiawen by controlling several important positions to the empress.

The high-level has his own town, Su Song is his own person, Shen Kuo can barely be counted, Zhang Dian is an ally, and Cai Qu and his ilk can also exchange benefits. There are many people at the bottom in Kansai, and they are connected into a network through the relationship between classmates and colleagues. But the promotion officials who are not as good as the servants, Han Gang can be assigned, and can be fully trusted, there are no more than ten of them.

This small group, with Han Gang as the core, is now far inferior to the New Party.

After more than ten years of reforms, the backbone of the bureaucratic system composed of 2,000 court officials has been renewed. The old party has been completely replaced at the local level, and the new party, as well as officials who agree with or honestly enforce the new law, occupy most of the seats of pro-people officials from the county, the general judgment, and the prefecture.

In the Jingbai Division, there is no foothold of the old party. Under the Zhongshu Gate, the Privy Council, and the officials of the two governments, whether or not they put up the signboard of the New Party, no one will stand up to express their support for the old law.

It was Lu Jia who asked, as long as he wanted someone, he could squeeze out a few suitable candidates for him to choose at any time. And Han Gang has a position in his hand, and he has to think left and right about how to fill the seat - under the Hengqu Gate, remove a group of people who are firmly guarding Guanzhong and Longyou, and there are not a few left.

It's still far from it.

However, it is really ridiculous for an official who has only been an official for more than ten years and is himself from a humble family to compete with the New Party. But without a solid enough foundation, Han Gang's goal is to be a mirror after all. No matter how ridiculous it is, after all, you still have to work in which direction.

"Presumably Lu Wangzhi is laughing now." Han Gang calculated in his heart for a while, and suddenly said softly.

"Huh?" Wang Yi didn't hear Han Gang's words clearly, and his hand stopped. Lowering his head, he asked in Han Gang's ear, "Official, what did you say?" ”

Han Gang gave Wang Yi a breath. It tickled his ears and rubbed his hands, "I'm going to send someone to hand over a post to my father-in-law and talk to my father-in-law later." I want two seats on the third side. If Lu Wangzhi doesn't do it, he will rob him for his husband. ”

"Official!" Wang Yi was taken aback, there may be people in the officialdom who give official positions privately, but where can they be so blatant, "Is this okay?" ”

Zhou Nan's hand also stopped, raised his pure and beautiful little face, and looked at Han Gang in surprise.

Han Gang grinned, his neat white teeth exposed, "If you want to take advantage of me, I can let him take advantage of me, but there is no benefit at all, then there is no way!" ”

Zhou Nan went to get the pen and paper as he said, but Wang Yi frowned, "This doesn't look like an official." ”

Han Gang has never been so naked to grab an official position, even if he argued with others in the past, the purpose was to do things better, not for one or two positions. This kind of Han Gang feels very strange to her, and her style of acting is like a different person.

Han Gang laughed, reached out and patted his wife's hand on his shoulder: "It's just a joke to grab the position for the husband." I don't want Lu Wangzhi to do things badly. ”

"Is it a heterochromatic coinage?" Wang Yi thought for a moment and quickly reacted.

"That's right." Han Gang responded.

Han Gang wanted to seize every opportunity to develop the technique, rather than repeat the process that had been repeated for thousands of years.

Even if it's just coinage, Han Gang hopes that there will be some surprises in it. so that it can be promoted to other industries.

Elemental chemistry and machining are all fields that can be involved. The old casting can also be refined, in the composition analysis, batching and casting process, to be studied and practiced.

Otherwise, why would he mention coinage to the queen?

How can I reduce the cost of minting? How to reduce the loss in the casting process?

I'm afraid that in Lu Jia's heart, there is only the squeezing of copper mountains and craftsmen. Anyway, as long as the thing is done satisfactorily, why bother? If the research and development is not successful, wouldn't it be another handle to be handed over to others?

This is where Han Gang looks down on bureaucrats.

Increasing sources of income and reducing expenditures should not start from the personnel aspect.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

It's not for the party struggle, it's not just for the sake of power and profit, if Lu Jiawen has the ability, why not let him control all affairs with one hand?

But since it is certain that it will not be done well, it is better not to occupy the pit.

……………………

When Han Gang's post arrived, Lu Jia asked Wang Anshi's mansion, talking about how to mint new coins.

As for the rewards for the hundred officials and the three armies, Empress Taishang has already agreed, and there is no need for him to bother searching for money from the Zuozang treasury.

"Han Yukun's insight, Jia Wen is very impressed. Judging from the past events, it can be said that there is no frivolity or lie, but what you say is true. Since Han Yukun proposed to mint money with various colors of gold and copper to prevent traitors from financing money and stealing money, it will definitely be able to be implemented in the world. ”

Lu Jiawen didn't mind praising this son-in-law who was stepping down from Pingzhang in front of Wang Anshi. have robbed other people's business, and it is also appropriate to reply with some good words. This also shows that he is a public heart and acts uprightly.

Wang Anshi was also very relieved when he heard this, he was afraid that Lu Jia would ask about the victory or defeat, and wanted to make unnecessary changes in the process of implementing the new money law, which would make the whole thing out of control in the end.

Now that Lu Jiawen had given up his face and completely adoptedβ€”or capturedβ€”Han Gang's suggestion, there was no need for him to forcibly show himself and try to erase Han Gang from the proposal to recast new money.

The purpose of Lu Jia's question is only the position of the three envoys, and doing things well is the most important step.

Since Han Gang had not been able to come out to fight back against Wang Anshi before, if he adopted his strategy, Han Gang would be sulking, and it would be difficult for him to come out against him again. As long as he openly behaves more humbly and respectfully when facing Han Gang in the future, even if Han Gang still has hatred, he can only be trapped in the theory of the scholar and can't do anything to himself.

Lu Jia asked that it was very safe to sit on Wang Anshi's side, and Zhang Dian was willing to persuade Han Gang, what other questions could there be?

It's just that it didn't take long for a short note to be sent from Han's house, which made Wang Anshi's face stiffen all of a sudden.

Looking at Han Gang's private message, Wang Anshi's face became very ugly, "What about people? ”

He raised the short note in his hand and asked the king who had sent the letter.

"Your Excellency?" Wang bowed down and asked, Wang Anshi's words were clueless, so that he didn't know what Lu Dao meant.

"What about the messenger?" Wang Anshi said angrily. It's been so many years, and it's hard to see him lose his temper like this.

It's just that he quickly thought of his mistake from his son's panic, he has retired from the important affairs of the Pingzhang military state, so he should not interfere too much in the affairs of the court. Helping Lu Jia ask is already an exception. It was because of the past and the foundation of the new party's rule that he reached out to help.

Sighing softly, Wang Anshi's voice became a little kinder, "What about the person sent by Yukun to deliver the letter?" ”

Wang was trembling, and while secretly complaining about Han Gang, he replied: "The boy wrote a reply, and he has been sent back first." My lord, but what's wrong? ”

"That's right. That's it. Wang Anshi shook his head, with disgust, and went to read Han Gang's post again. After a few glances, he handed it to Lu Jia and asked, "Wangzhi, you can take a look." ”

Han Gang was in the post, just greeting Wang Anshi.

Then he talked about Lu Jiawen's preparation for minting different color coins, said that he was happy to see it happen, and then recalled Lu Jiawen's achievements in the City Yi Division, and thought that Lu Jiawen had enough ability to complete this work, and wished Lu Jiawen success with the support of Wang Anshi.

Until now, there is no problem, unless someone is too careful, thinking that Han Gang is 'good prayer and good song', but then Han Gang talked about the sudden change in the process of coinage, which will cause the major money supervisors to be at a loss, and it is necessary to select talents to take charge of the coinage - that is, the salt and iron iron case.

Literally, it's certainly not asking for money. Even if you want to say that Han Gang is asking for an official position, it is impossible to use this post as evidence.

But in reality?

is clearly saying that he wants to be an official. It's not subtle at all, but don't think about using it as a handle.

Lu Jiawen did too much, but Han Gang's counterattack was also excessive. What did it be?

Lu Jia asked and looked at it at a glance, then raised his head and said with a forced smile, "It's just a sesame seed-sized dispatch, so what about Han Yukun, it's all for state affairs, could it be that Han Yukun will deliberately do bad things?" ”

"Really?" Wang Anshi asked directly.

Lu Jia asked and smiled a little, "It's not the judge who wants the third division to open the division, what can't be given?" ”

The opening and dismantling division of the three divisions is to undertake the propaganda and edicts issued by the Zhongshu and the Privy Council, as well as the texts of the three divisions declared by the states, and are divided into categories, and distributed to the three divisions of salt and iron, degree branch and household department according to the attribution, and at the same time to clear the arrears, drive the documents, and manage the write-off of books and calendars - that is, all kinds of personnel files and account books. It is the department that maintains the normal operation of the three divisions.

The judgment of the three divisions of the division of the official business, that is, the judge, is equivalent to the Zhongshu five rooms under the door of the Zhongshu inspection, or the Privy Council. He is the core official of this yamen, and he is in charge of the internal and external correspondence of the three divisions.

Compared with the judge of the Third Division, what about the people who gave Han Gang an iron case?

There are too many ways to do bad things, and there are too many ways to buy a person.

Lu Jia asked confidently, as long as Han Gang sent someone, he would be able to get someone into the water in the blink of an eye.

Under his hands, of course, you can rectify it as much as you want.

Wang Anshi looked at Lu Jia fixedly and asked for a while, and sighed very tiredly, "Wangzhi, I hope you can remember this sentence." For the sake of national affairs, settle disputes. Yukun did something wrong, I'll go talk about him, but you have to sit upright. ”

"Pingzhang rest assured." Lu Jia asked, "If you want to say anything about Pingzhang, Jia will keep it in mind." ”
