Chapter 444: The Two Kings (I)
"Zi'an, what do you think of the Seedlings Method?" Zhang Ruoshui asked.
Wang Ju glanced at it.
After Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu left the Wang family, Wang Anshi's position was still very dangerous.
There were more and more people impeached, and Wang Anshi could not get the support of Zhao Ji, and even because Zhao Ji did not express his position, the wave of opposition was higher, so Wang Anshi asked for a division, and the branch division in the Song Dynasty referred to Luoyang as an official. I won't change the law anymore, and I won't stay in the capital anymore, so I'll go to Luoyang to mess around.
When Sima Guang saw this twist and turn, he made a comment on it: Today's scholar doctor is boiling, and the people are in turmoil, but they want to return the task and retreat. Qing's private conspiracy is solid and has no regrets, and I hope that I will entrust anyone!
You just want to leave, no, just go, you have to clean up this mess you made, you have to wear a big hat and parade on the street to admit your mistakes, otherwise you can't leave.
Therefore, if the water is full, it will overflow, and if the moon is full, it will be lost, and Sima Guang has done too much.
Wang Anshi was furious when he saw the sparse performance, and the two quarreled.
Zhao Ji saw that it was getting more and more chaotic, and called Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi to ask.
Zeng Gongliang was speechless at this time, Wang Anshi took the throne, and he had half of the credit, but when he was on the throne, Zeng Gongliang was not to change the law, but to consolidate his position. But now completely out of his control.
So whether it was right to change the law, Zeng Gongliang had no idea, so he kept silent.
ā½ Seeing that things were strict this time, Zeng Gongliang had no choice but to say that the Qingmiao Law should be abolished first.
As for Chen Shengzhi, he is even more duplicitous, an opportunist, who parted ways with Wang Anshi a few months ago, and also said that the Qingmiao Law must be abolished.
Now the East Mansion is four-phase. Three are the opposite of the seedling method. Xifu two opposite to the seedling method. Ninety percent of the officials in Taiwan under the two systems oppose the Qingmiao Law, so let's abolish it. Zhao issued an edict to repeal the Seedlings Law. After Wang Anshi heard this, his heart was cold, could it be that I was self-defeating by retreating?
This also shows that Zhao Ji is still very young.
As soon as the green seedling method is abolished, the law will become a ghost. Wang Anshi thought about it carefully, yes, I can't play. Petition for dismissal.
Zhao Ji thought relatively simply, what I abolished was only the Qingmiao method, a bad "technique" in the law change, not the immutable law, but the law change was inseparable from Wang Anshi, so it was not allowed. There was also an accident over there, Wang Anshi asked for a dismissal, and Zhao Pan also thought about simplifying the problem.
The purpose of the abolition of the Qingmiao Law arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy cheered, but Zhao Luan said something in private. No, as is customary. Wang Shi'an is still in phase, and he must wait for Wang Anshi to resign before he can repeal the Qingmiao Law.
Why do you have this idea, if the Qingmiao Law is abolished and the opposition is lowered, it will not be easy to defeat Wang Anshi. Therefore, if you want to defeat Wang Anshi, you can't immediately abolish the Qingmiao Law.
He made such a fuss, and this edict dragged on.
However, it was his troubles that became truly self-defeating.
First of all, Lu Huiqing returned to Beijing, compared with Wang Anshi's "high wind and bright clean", Lu Huiqing has one more means. At the beginning, he was silent, and it was not until now that he officially exerted his strength.
Then came a person, Li Ding, a student of Wang Anshi. But this statement is not very accurate, for example, Su Dongpo, he himself thinks that he is a student of Ouyang Xiu, in fact, his previous studies in Jinshi have nothing to do with Ouyang Xiu, and his family entered the capital thanks to Zhang Fangping's work. Another example is Lu Dian, another student of Wang Anshi, who received little benefit from Wang Anshi, but received more from Sun Jue. The same is true for Li Ding, who was promoted by Wang Anshi when he was a teenager, and was also promoted by Sun Jue.
Sun Jue has an extraordinary background, he is a student of Hu Ying and Chen Xiang, a friend of Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Su Song and Zeng Gong, and Huang Tingjian's father-in-law, including Qin Guan, Lu Dian, and Wang Ling, all of whom have been promoted by him.
The year before last, because of Shao Kang's lack of talent, he was demoted to the general judgment of Yuezhou, and later transferred back to the capital to serve as the prefect. It just so happened that Li Ding served as the general judge of Xiuzhou. Xiuzhou in the Song Dynasty was later Shanghai, as well as Jiading in Zhejiang and other regions, but now half of Shanghai Pudong is still below sea level, and it can be regarded as a wealthy upper-class state in the Song Dynasty. Yuezhou is Shaoxing, the two regions are not far away, and the two have many correspondence. And Li Ding's political achievements in Xiuzhou are remarkable.
So Sun Jueti yƬ transferred Li Ding back to the capital.
When Li Ding arrived in the capital, Sun Jue, in order to avoid suspicion, was not easy to summon, so he asked the counselor Li Chang to summon him and asked Li Ding, Jun came from the south, where the people looked at the Qingmiao Law.
Li Ding replied that they all liked it.
Li Chang was disappointed and said cryptically, this is a lively topic in the capital, you can't talk nonsense.
Li Ding found Wang Anshi and reported the situation one by one, Wang Anshi was overjoyed, and introduced Li Ding into the palace and asked him to report to Zhao Ji.
As a result, Li Ding entered the ranks of treacherous evil.
So is Li Ding Mei Wang Anshi?
First of all, can Li Ding be a proof, yes, he is from the south, the purpose of the Qingmiao Law is mainly to take out loans in the spring and harvest in autumn, this is the time to lend, at least Li Ding's words can be used as a reference.
Secondly, Wang Anshi originally promised to promote it in Shaanxi, but later broke his promise and became Hebei Beijinggi and Zhunnan Road. But now even the two Zhejiang provinces have been promoted, which proves that Wang Anshi does not keep his promise.
But this is only superficial, and the in-depth analysis is a huge 17 million Guan Qingmiao loan. Even if it is placed in the northern third road, it will not be able to afford so many green seedling loans, so it will definitely be promoted to the more affluent southern sixth road. Or that the Qingmiao loan is less, but the number of Qingmiao loans is small, the interest will be less, and there is no huge profit, why should Wang Anshi move the public?
The main battlefield of the Qingmiao Law against waste is in the north, and the people are easily bewitched.
The South is economically rich, commercially developed, and has a high grain production, and a developed business means a large demand for capital and a high grain production, which means that it is easy to repay loans. Therefore, the rich do not reject this green seedling loan, maybe it will be used to expand their own business with capital, and the poor people can borrow it when they encounter difficulties, and they can repay it later, so there is less forced apportionment.
In fact, there is a deeper level, which you don't see, that is, the amount of this seedling loan, which is small, but it is really a lot, and 17 million yuan is apportioned, which is equivalent to the apportionment of every household in the area has to pay nearly the same additional tax. However, it is said that it is many, but it is not really much, and in the commercial market of the Song Dynasty, the amount of loans required per year may not be 10 million yuan, but 100 million yuan. 200 million.
Therefore, the situation reflected by Li Ding is relatively reliable.
In fact, Sima Guang made a strict mistake. He wanted to trample Wang Anshi to death completely. Zhao Luan was influenced by him, and only after Zhongshu insisted that Wang Anshi leave the phase, he issued an edict to abolish the Qingmiao Law, which was overdone.
As Wang Ju said, the real person behind the change is not Wang Anshi, but Zhao Ji.
Sima Guang and others clearly abolished the Qingmiao Law, but actually alluded to the change of the law itself, which Zhao Ji could not agree with at all. If the edict of the repeal of the Seedlings Law was made at that time. Wang Anshi can only leave the capital, without Wang Anshi presiding, although Zhao Ji is the emperor, he has to be involved, then this change will be short-lived like the Qingli New Deal.
But as soon as Zhao Lian insisted, time dragged on, and Zhao Xuan slowly woke up, Li Ding met this time, Zhao Xuan finally hesitated again, and issued a secret edict for Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui to secretly go down to investigate. Is this seedling method good or bad?
This is the dialogue between Zhang Ruoshui and Wang Ju
Wang Ju glanced at Zhang Ruoshui and asked, "Zhang Duzhi." Why do you ask about the Seedlings Method? ā
For this seedling method, a super storm blew in the entire Song Dynasty.
But the Weapons Supervisor is a strange flower in this storm, and it has been very quiet.
"Zi'an, don't tell outsiders that the official family asked me to go down and inspect ......," Zhang Ruoshui said in a low voice.
This Wang Ju doesn't know, and there are still things he doesn't know, although Wang Anshi retreats as advances, he is not really dormant, Zhao Ji made a secret decree in front, and Wang Anshi doesn't know that he learned from that channel. Of course, it can't be said that Wang Anshi is despicable, in fact, the harem of the Song Dynasty was in chaos for a long time, so Han Qi drunk the old lady Cao and got the jade seal, which made Zhao Shu pro-government, and soon spread, so Zhao Zhen was cuckolded and spread to the market. Including Wang Ju, he also used Zhang Ruoshui's line to get some inside information.
Then Wang Anshi privately found Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui.
Zhao Ji thought that the minister had two theories, so I used two cronies and eunuchs to go down to observe whether the Qingmiao Law was good or bad. But when it comes to the two eunuchs, is it so important that good and bad? The important thing is that in the future, if Wang Anshi will go down, then it is better to fall into the well and take advantage of the situation to kick hard. If Wang Anshi can't go down, he must send charcoal in the snow in time at this time.
The two couldn't figure it out, so Zhang Ruoshui asked Wang Ju.
Many insiders Wang Ju didn't know, but he quickly gave an answer: "The Seedlings Law is the foundation of the change, the Seedlings Law is abolished, the Seedlings Law is abolished, the Seedlings Law is not abolished, and the changes continue." ā
"But this change ......"
"There will always be people who benefit and people who will suffer, and if it doesn't change, we will commit suicide slowly, become better, and we will spend more than a hundred years safely. Becoming bad accelerates this suicide. ā
"Can you only stay good for a hundred years?"
"You wore your fur a month ago, why are you taking it off now?"
"It's getting warmer."
"And what will you be wearing in three months?"
"Oh, I see, it's going to change then."
"Not necessarily, as long as the officials and rulers of the past dynasties are wise and adjust in time, there is no need to change, after all, changing the law is tantamount to a revolution, too drastic, even if it changes peacefully, it will bring some trauma to the country."
It's still hard, and who can guarantee that every ruler will be wise?
So since ancient times, there has been no country that has ever existed zĆ i. Zhang Ruoshui also understood, but he didn't dare to ask in depth about this topic, so he changed the topic and asked, "Why is the Divine Arm Bow so powerful?" ā
"The principle is actually very simple, the force of each arrow is half of the weight of the arrow multiplied by the square of the velocity. This new bow design makes the arrow shoot half as fast, so its power will undoubtedly increase several times. However, in addition to this law formula, there is another factor that is overlooked, and that is the resistance, this arrow becomes small, and the resistance to break through the air will also decrease, which is the main reason for the increase in speed. But it's smaller, but it's ...... heavier."
"What is squared?"
"Square is every number multiplied by every number, for example twice as many as four is eight, and four squared as sixteen."
"It's not written in your math book."
"That's just elementary math."
"I'll write about it later."
The latter writes...... I'm going to think about it slowly, but when did I come? Wang Judao. In fact, it is easy to write mathematics later, but how to combine physics and chemistry has given him a headache, so until now, he has not written it.
This is the conversation between Wang Ju and Zhang Ruoshui, he really didn't say anything, and still maintained his previous neutral style. However, it caused trouble for Wang Ju......
Zhang Ruoshui and Wang Ju said something, the two of them still have a lot of things to do, one is the continued manufacture of weapons, with the approval of Zhao Ji, a lot of money and silk materials have been allocated, but these are money and silk materials, not armor, the two battles in the northwest are about to break out, and they have to be quickly turned into various armor.
At the same time, the knife and gun were further modified.
The Song Dynasty gun is not a variety of spears in the romance, it is mainly an iron spear tip, and the back is equipped with a gun barrel, and the same is true of ancient Ge, but Ge has fallen behind and has been replaced by a gun. This time, the modification was the tip of the gun, with a curved design.
The knife is even more so, what the earlier Mo knife looked like, no one saw. However, Wang Ju still remembers the Mongolian war horses unearthed in later generations, as well as the Chasik sabre known as the world's most mechanically principled, and the Nepalese saber, the former is a knife used by cavalry, and the latter is a knife used by infantry. Compared to the Mongolian saber, the Chasik saber is more elongated. However, when it comes to the Nepalese saber, it is even thicker.
There is also a reason for this, one is a knife used on a high-speed running war horse, and the other is a battle on the ground, and the speed is different, and the requirements for the knife type are necessarily different.
However, as the most important infantry knife at the moment, the Nepalese saber has little effect, and what is really needed is a powerful horse cutting knife.
Therefore, the knives used in each army must be improved, and the war horses used to deal with the enemy's infantry, the horse chopping knives used by foot cavalry, and the war knives used by cavalry are all different. This has to be debugged slowly.
Even the corresponding handle and scabbard had to be transformed, and even Wang Ju added a blood groove, the size and location of this blood groove must also be exquisite.
But unlike before, this batch of debugged tools has relatively increased some arc, but it has not yet been finalized.
Therefore, Wang Ju and Zhang Ruoshui had a lot of affairs during this time, but Zhang Ruoshui left the capital. (To be continued......) R752
