The attic where Han Jiang was located was located deep in the manor.
Half an acre of pond was dug next to it. There is a bamboo forest beside the pond, which perfectly covers the distant red roof tiles and the overhanging eaves of the building. When you get to the attic and climb the steps step by step, you will see the natural scenery, as if you are lost. Living in the world is normal.
There were two famous Han families in the Song Dynasty, one was the Xiangzhou Han family of Han Qi, and the other was the Tongmu Han family of Han Yi.
There is a saying that "Tangdi was the prime minister in Xingzhong, and the name Wutong recognized the Han family."
Han Yi was born into a poor family but rose to the rank of Prime Minister. His wife was the daughter of the famous Prime Minister Wang Zeng.
The Wang family taught their children well, and all eight of their sons were awarded Jinshi, which was really enviable to others.
The old man Han Jiang that Zhang Yue met was Han Yi's third son.
Han Jiang seemed to hear footsteps and turned around. Zhang Yue looked at him for a moment, but saw that the other person's face was thin and his eyes were small and bright, but he had the air of an official.
People like Han Jiang, who was born in a government office, were born with political resources. When they were young, they studied hard to become a Jinshi, and when they became officials, they could focus on their career. Their future would be unmatched by others.
Just like your classmates, whose families are richer than yours, smarter than you, and who study harder than you, you should have no chance to surpass them in this life.
It is known from history that Zhang Yue also knew that this old man had great political ambitions, otherwise he would not have supported Wang Anshi to take power and carry out reforms.
He is not only Wang Anshi's Bole, but also Cai Que's Bole.
Han Jiang greeted: "Du Zhi, come and sit down."
Zhang Yue said cautiously: "Han Gong is above, but I don't dare."
"You're welcome. Take a look at the antique calligraphy and paintings in my collection."
Zhang Yue had just focused his attention on Han Jiang, and then he saw various antiques, calligraphy and paintings placed in the attic. The most eye-catching thing was the huge square tripod in the attic.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Han Jiang didn't come to see him for antiques.
But when Han Jiang touched Fang Ding with his hand and said, "The tripod represents martial arts. In ancient times, when great generals made unparalleled military exploits, kings would inscribe them on the tripod to record their achievements."
Zhang Yue said: "I heard that when Han Gong was guarding Qingzhou, he did not commit any crimes in autumn, and the Tibetan and Han Dynasties returned home. This is indeed the style of famous generals in ancient times."
When Zhang Yue met, he was presented with a high hat.
Han Jiang said lightly: "Oh, I can't afford it."
Well, why is this flattery flattering you again?
Zhang Yue thought to himself, don’t we Song Dynasty officials also do this?
The atmosphere in the pavilion was slightly solemn.
Han Jiang said: "When I learned about Qingzhou, there was a Tibetan general who was familiar with the Tibetans and made many military exploits but was never rewarded by the court. Once, he robbed Cao Shi after a battle. As the governor of Qingzhou, I have no excuse to hold him accountable."
"But this Tibetan general did not take the initiative to bind him after he was found guilty, but returned to his tribe. This man has thousands of elite soldiers. I am worried that capturing him may lead to a mutiny, but if he is not punished, it will not be enough to disappoint the people. What do you think I should do? "
Zhang Yue thought to himself that it turned out to be the school's own ability.
Zhang Yue said: "This matter is really difficult. If you don't reward when you should reward, you can't reward now if you are guilty. You can't punish him, after all, he is a person who has made meritorious deeds, let alone acting rashly and causing a violent change."
Zhang Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Does this person have any children?"
"I have a son serving in the army."
"Is your father still alive?"
"That's why."
Zhang Yue said: "This man has repeatedly made military exploits without being rewarded, so he is resentful and resentful. In this way, the imperial court can reward the deceased father for his military exploits. Even if the dead man's name is given as high as possible, it can eliminate his incompetence. Reward the heart of resentment.”
"Promote his son to be a general, eliminate his suspicion, and finally send an envoy. He will come when called. How to deal with it is up to Han Gong."
Han Jiang thought for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.
This is exactly why he came to Beijing this time, and he had poked this big hole before.
He consulted others, and their opinions were either rewarded or punished. As the day of the face-to-face meeting came, Han Jiang suffered from being unable to explain himself in front of the king.
At present, Zhang Yue thought that although the other party's articles were good, he had no experience in serving as an official, so he could use this method to test his talent.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhang Yue's words, his problem would be solved.
Han Jiang said with a smile: "When I came to Beijing and met Wang Jiefu of the same year, he once said that although the number one scholar was brilliant in literature and good at governing, he unfortunately had no skills. Now it seems that Wang Jiefu's words cannot be trusted."
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart, Wang Anshi, you are insulting me again. I also thought that Wang Anshi and Han Jiang were of the same age. No wonder they had such a good relationship.
Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, Han Jiang said: "Hey, Jiefu has always been very responsible. To be able to save him in one sentence is already a very high praise. But I think he has both a way and a skill. It's really Talent is rare.”
Zhang Yue said humbly: "Mr. Han is so complimentary."
Han Jiang said calmly: "I always have something to say, and I never praise others in vain."
Zhang Yue is a little embarrassed. He is too modest. Does it make you feel fake?
Han Jiang chatted with Zhang Yue and said: "When Mr. Fu was in power, everything was done in the same way. It was not that he did not have the ambition to reform the long-standing shortcomings, but he always looked forward and backward, and did things in a sluggish way. This is really disappointing, so I said Even if he is not appointed as censor, he will be impeached."
Zhang Yue said: "The rich minister is prudent, but he seeks too much perfection. You need to know that correcting mistakes will lead to overcorrecting, and mistakes are better than mistakes."
When Han Jiang heard this, she clapped her legs and said in appreciation: "This is exactly what I meant."
Zhang Yue somewhat understood Han Jiang's approach, and immediately stopped being modest and nodded reservedly.
Han Jiang sighed: "Too few people in the world understand this. They are only willing to tinker with it, but have no ambition to rebuild it."
Zhang Yue suddenly realized that after time traveling, he only remembered that Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and others supported the reform.
But Han Jiang was left out.
Without Han Jiang, there would be no Wang Anshi. Han Jiang, a staunch reformist, didn't even realize it.
"I have served as an official in Jingxi, Jiangnan, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Shaanxi. Everywhere I have mentioned the disadvantages that harm farmers, the most serious is the law of servitude. The former often leads to bankruptcy, and the second is state servitude..."
Han Jiang and Zhang Yue talked about the disadvantages of serving in Yamen...
Zhang Yue subconsciously thought that the most important thing in Wang Anshi's reform was to change the labor law to the labor law.
Unexpectedly, the person who promoted this method in history was not Wang Anshi but Han Jiang. In history, Wang Anshi also said that today's talk about military affairs is Jiang Benyi.
Han Jiang said: "Although I know the harm, I can't think of a way to change it. What can you teach me about it?"
Historically, Han Jiang put forward his opinions, but it was the courageous Wang Anshi who actually promoted their implementation.
However, the opinion on the exemption law came from Li Jie, a Jinshi scholar when Han Jiang was in Chengdu. But now that Han Jiang has not left Chengdu, no wonder he doesn't know what to do.
Zhang Yue immediately said: "Han Gongguo has the intention of benefiting the king and the people. Now the world's troubles are the unevenness of the corvee. There are people who do not know how to work across the fields, and there are people who are not immune to the rough land. I have a plan for this..."
But when Zhang Yue introduced the exemption laws one by one, it turned out that everything was in line with Han Jiang's wishes.
Han Jiang laughed and said: "The Number One Scholar really has something inside him. I am so talented that I can't think of a way to do it, but I heard you say it in one word."
"Knowing it but not being able to get rid of it is really empty talk. I know that those who can know and get rid of it can be called ministers, and they can save it."
These words spoke too highly of himself, and Zhang Yue couldn't hold on for a moment.
