Chapter 47: I Don't Know What to Fear (Part II)

[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

"Mi County?" Lu Ming poked his head over and said in surprise, "Isn't this the upper county of Jingdong East Road?" How could an official be awarded the rank of county lieutenant in Shang County? ”

"Shangxian? …… I see. ”

Han Gang realized in a blink of an eye, is this Wang Anshi's payment? It's a little too stingy. However, Han Gang welcomed such a change, "The county lieutenant of Shangxian County has a lot higher than Xiaxian, and no one will dislike it." ”

"It's easy to go down to the county, it's not just a little more than just a little more." An inexplicably familiar voice came from behind Han Gang.

When Han Gang heard the sound and looked back, he stood up and saluted, "It turned out to be Liu Lingcheng!" "It turned out to be Liu Yi, who caused chaos to Han Gang during the Quan test a few days ago.

Liu Yi came over with a smile and arched his hand: "Brother Yukun, it's been a long time." ”

Virtuous brother? How good is our relationship? Han Gang admired the thickness of the cheeks of a low-level official like Liu Yi. Although such characters are not uncommon, but when things are abnormal, they must be demons, and Liu Yi took the initiative to come over to talk, there must be a reason.

Liu Yi sat down on the empty seat at Han Gang's table, so he smiled closely: "As soon as Xiang Ri saw it, he knew that it was Yukun Xian Brother who was a virtuous talent. Now that he has the blue eyes of the king, Pengcheng is just around the corner. ”

"I don't know what Ling Cheng means by this?" Han Gang asked.

"Why should Yukun pretend not to know." Liu Yi saw that Han Gang's expression did not change at all, how could he believe that he didn't know anything about it, "Wang Xianggong personally ordered from Zhongshu to designate Yukun's official as Mi County. The upper county clerk is promoted to the junior rank officer, and it is two terms and four examinations, while the lower county clerk who has no background must be at least three terms and six examinations, that is, six years later, before he can be promoted. And with the importance that Wang Xianggong attaches to Yukun, I am afraid that within three or five terms, you will be able to change officials. ”

I see. It's just that Han Gang felt that the reason for Liu Yi to have such a 180-degree change was not enough, just because Wang Anshi promoted his own official by two levels, Liu Yi changed the court, which is really ridiculous. Even if you want to get on the boat of the new party, you should not look for yourself who has not yet made a name for yourself.

For what reason, Liu Yi quickly explained the confusion for Han Gang: "Today, Lu Jifu sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, but said that recently, the princes of the court often denounced the Qingmiao loan as a law that harms the people, and in order to correct the original intention of this law to benefit the people, please change the name of the Qingmiao Loan to the low-interest loan for the people, and the Qingmiao Law has also been renamed as the low-interest loan law for the benefit of the people. ”

Han Gang smiled, and after waiting for half a month, the new party finally couldn't help but start to move. Although changing the name of the Qingmiao Loan is the simplest and easiest of the several strategies he gave to Wang Anshi, and it is the least taboo, the other terms have not moved. But since the New Party has adopted his strategy, when this strategy has a successful return, I am afraid that the next few will be implemented one after another.

In Liu Yi's eyes, the smile on Han Gang's lips was the confidence that knew everything. He was secretly happy in his heart, and it seemed that he had guessed correctly. This person selected from Jiupin, when he has already entered Wang Anshi's vision, is qualified to participate in the core strategy, and he can't say that he will be like Lu Huiqing and others in the future, and he will soar in a few years.

Since he was ineffective and offended the background in the past, there was news that he might be moved to a remote military state on Jinghu South Road to join the army as a manager, so it was natural to change the court. With Liu Yi's current predicament, even if it is a straw, he has to hug it, although Han Gang is humble, he is also the only help that Liu Yi can find in a hurry......

……………………

After a few casual words with Liu Yi, Han Gang sent him away. The reason why Liu Yi stammered himself, Han Gang still can't confirm, but he hides his worry in his smile, and he can see that it doesn't seem to be fake.

It's just that Han Gang is not interested in dealing with him, and he got the sue himself, and his trip to Tokyo has come to an end. Even how the situation in the court has changed, Han Gang doesn't want to pay attention to it anymore, let alone a undisciplined Liunequan Lingcheng?

The matter in Qinzhou is probably solved. The more they fought with the new party, the less time the ministers of the old party had to go to Wang Shao's troubles. A few days ago, Han Gang was still in the post house and heard a debate about whether the wasteland in Qinzhou should be cultivated is one hectare or ten thousand hectares. But today, when Han Gang returned to Chengnanyi, the discussions he heard were all related to the name change of the Qingmiao Law without exception.

"BIBS Loan changed its name to a convenient low-interest loan? What kind of stupid trick did Wang Jiefu make? ”

"It's useful to change your name?"

"There are criminals who have changed their names and re-examined the Jinshi, and if this decree changes their names, maybe there will be fewer people who will be scolded."

"Nonsense, changing the name is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and the essence is not those things."

"You don't know the way, this is the move of the three-life monk to turn into a branch. The night before yesterday, Wang Dashen personally invited Huacheng to the house, asked him to send Wen Wang Liuren, and calculated that the name of Qingmiao Loan was unlucky. That's why Wang Dashen hurriedly changed his name. ”

"Lin Seventeen, don't talk about it, a monk doesn't recite scriptures and worship the Buddha, but goes to be Mr. Blind, how much of what he says can be true?"

"I don't know what Sima Junshi will say!"

"Probably laughing ......"

The outer hall of the Chengnan Station became a vegetable market for a while, and Han Gang listened to a few words, then turned around and went upstairs. The news has just spread, and there are few reliable ones. But listening to their words, no one has yet understood the intention of this trick he gave Wang Anshizhi. However, after a few days, the next measures of the new party began to be implemented one by one, and Wang Anshi's intentions naturally spread quickly.

It was just a strategy proposed by himself, but it became a trick made by the Three Lives Monk in word of mouth, and Han Gang only felt a little funny. The Sanmei Monk is very famous in the city of Tokyo, and is famous for his ability to break the blame for three lives. He lives in the side courtyard of the Great Xiangguo Temple, there are many guests every day, there are never fewer high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and even the family members of the princes and ministers are honestly queuing up, asking him to calculate the number of fortunes.

Han Gang adhered to the attitude of Confucius in this regard, respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, not saying anything strange and confused, only looked outside twice, and then turned around and left.

After returning to the room, Han Gang asked Li Xiaoliu to take care of his luggage, it was time to go back to Qinzhou in the next two days, and the things had to be sorted out first. Han Gang, on the other hand, straightened his clothes and went in the direction of Little Sweet Water Lane.

These days, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao are very busy, and the work of attacking the new law keeps them busy. Because of the busyness of Cheng and Zhang, Han Gang has not visited for two days, and now he is about to return to his hometown, of course Han Gang wants to see them again.

In the secluded back alley, Han Gang pushed open the side door and walked into the courtyard of the Cheng family on his own. Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian both treated him as a nephew, and he came and went freely in the two houses, and he didn't need to knock on the door and wait for someone to report.

"Brother Yukun." As soon as Han Gang walked into the courtyard, a little girl's crisp voice came into his ears.

Han Gang followed the sound and looked over, and a little girl of eleven or twelve years old walked out of the small door leading to the backyard. The little girl is tied in a double bun, looks snow jade and cute, has a pair of innocent big eyes, and her skin is as white as the first snow. Probably because the weather was still a little cold, his little face was still flushed.

"It's Twenty-Nine Niang......" Han Gang smiled at the little girl, not shying away at all.

The little girl is Cheng Hao's daughter, ranked twenty-nine in the clan, and she is only eleven years old this year. Cheng Hao was born when he was an official in Ezhou, so he was named Eniang [Note 1]. It is very common to choose a name for a child after the place where he is an official. Sima Guang was born to his father Sima Chi when he was in Renzhi County, Gwangsan County, Gwangju, from which his name comes from.

The little girl is very polite, and the tutor of the Confucian master is indeed excellent. It's not as cumbersome as the old pedant, but it adds a bit of cuteness, and it has the grace of everyone's ladies, and you can imagine her excellence in a few years.

After Han Gang returned the half-salute, he saw the little girl running to his side in small steps, raised his head and asked, "Why hasn't Brother Yukun come for the past two days?" ”

"Sir is busy, so it's inconvenient to disturb." Han Gang looked down at Cheng Eniang's childish little face, with eyes as clear as a pool in the mountains, and thought of Han Yunniang who was far away in Qinzhou, and I don't know how she is now. Han Gang sighed secretly, put away his chaotic thoughts, and asked again, "What about Mr.?" Are you busy today? ”

Cheng Eniang nodded seriously and replied, "Daddy just came back and was in the study with my cousin." As she spoke, she tilted her head and thought about it again, "My cousin is in a very bad mood." ”

Xiao'er Baoshen is very close to Han Gang, and several children of the Cheng family and the Zhang family are also very close to Han Gang. Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian are strict in governing the family, and they are very strict with their children. And Han Gang was a little embarrassed because he often rubbed rice at Cheng Zhang's house, so when he visited the Daxiangguo Temple, he bought a few small things to give to the children of the two families.

Han Gang is a good intention, and Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao are not easy to say. Because of this, the children of the Cheng and Zhang families saw that Han Gang was the elder brother was long and the elder brother was short.

After coaxing the little girl a few more words, Han Gang walked into Chenghao's study. Zhang Jian's calm face in the study made the atmosphere a little dignified.

"Two gentlemen, Han Gang is here." Han Gang stepped forward and saluted. knew that the two superintendents should have heard about Wang Anshi's actions today. They are different from the idle officials in the Chengnan Station, and they will think deeply about every move of the Fa-changers, so their mood looks a little bad.

"Yukun is here." Cheng Hao raised his head and said hello, but Zhang Jian kept his head and didn't speak.

Although Han Gang knew the reason for Zhang Jian's gloomy mood, he still had to pretend to be confused and ask. He looked at Cheng Hao with inquiring eyes, and Cheng Hao smiled: "Yukun, have you heard of a major event in the court today?" ”

"I heard that a group of people in the Fangcai Post House were talking about it. Low-interest loans, right? Han Gang nodded and said bluntly, "This is a good thing." ”

"What?!" Zhang Jian looked up at Han Gang in disbelief, how could this student of his support the Seedlings Method? He said angrily: "Is it a good thing to compete with the people for profit? The court lends money, this is a good thing?! ”

Han Gang disagreed. The pipe is set up as a woman, and the princes of Jiuhe are restored to the Zhou room with skin and flesh, and the sage still says, "Micro Guanzhong, I wear my hair and leave it." However, Han Gang is not easy to say these words, so he will really quarrel.

Note 1: Cheng Hao left two daughters in historical materials. The eldest did not leave a name—only Yun Cheng's filial daughter, and the younger one died young, and her name was recorded in her epitaph—Cheng Hao was born when he was an official in Lanzhou, and the time was in Xining for four years. Therefore, I pushed back from Cheng Lanniang's name and got the name Cheng Eniang, which can be regarded as apocryphal.
