Inside the banquet hall.
After hearing Zhang Yue's words that Wang Anshi would definitely win, the official thought for a moment and asked, "Why is Zhang Qing so confident in Wang Anshi?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't have confidence in Wang Anshi's statement, but I have no confidence in Qingli Fan Wen's righteous method."
After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and paced around the room with his hands behind his hands.
Zhang Yue continued: "Sima Guang advocated that in order to save money on abolition, start from Guizhou, Wang Anshi said that there is no need to abolish abolition. Sima Guang was fighting to reduce expenditures, while Wang Anshi was fighting to increase revenue. As soon as this argument was made, it was obvious that Sima Guang had lost. ."
"At the time of Duke Fan Wenzheng's reform, he advocated the abolition of redundant officials, soldiers and waste, which was a way to reduce expenditures. When I heard that your majesty came to the throne, I asked Wang Tao and Sima Guang to discuss cutting redundant costs and taking advantage of them in the second year of Qingli. The number is different compared to today’s expenditures, and the final decision will be made for national use.”
Of course the officials remembered it, but Wang Tao and Sima Guang both refused. When he first came to the throne, he really asked Sima Guang to cut redundant expenses, but the other party refused to do so, which made him very disappointed. Now in front of the emperor, he was arguing with Wang Anshi but he mentioned cutting expenditures. This is really...
The officials couldn't help but have some opinions about Sima Guang. Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, when Fan Wenzhenggong abolished Sanruan, the court was turned upside down. Ministers in the court will inevitably make the same mistake again."
The official said: "Are you saying that Sima Guang is afraid of offending others?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to speculate on my own, but most of the officials agree with me. Now no one dares to mention cutting expenditures, so I say Wang Anshi will win!"
The official asked Zhang Yue again: "Zhang Qing, you told me that the country is currently insufficient. Should the government's national policy be to increase revenue or reduce expenditure?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, please tell the truth. The method of reducing expenditure is actually better than the method of increasing revenue!"
The officials looked shocked when they heard this.
Wang Anshi has been talking to him about how to manage money. He now deeply agrees with the principle of using the world's wealth to manage it, and he feels that Zhang Yue agrees with it.
But why does Zhang Yue now say that reducing expenditure is better than increasing revenue?
In Zhang Yue's heart, if he does it without worrying about the consequences, it is definitely better to reduce expenditure than to increase revenue.
For example, when a private enterprise encounters operating difficulties, the first thing it will do is lay off employees and cut expenditures in various ways, instead of first thinking about whether the people will be provided with enough resources but the country will have enough. On the other hand, what if it were replaced by a state-owned enterprise?
Fan Zhongyan dismissed Sanruan, but does the court belong to you, Fan Zhongyan? Renzong first adopted Fan Zhongyan's reform, but later he did not dare to persist. Why? He was worried that if Fan Zhongyan continued, he would not be able to keep his throne.
Therefore, when Wang Anshi proposed open source at the beginning, everyone agreed with both hands and feet, but it was not my interests. You could do whatever you wanted. As for what happened later... after all, no one thought of it at the time.
Facing the official's inquiry, Zhang Yue said: "If your Majesty asks me whether it is better to increase revenue or reduce expenditure, I will answer that it is better to reduce expenditure."
"If your Majesty asks me whether it is better to increase revenue or reduce expenditure, then I would answer that only to increase revenue can be achieved."
Zhang Yue didn't need to explain much. The officials immediately understood what Zhang Yue meant.
The official passed by Zhang Yueyi and said: "In the court debate that day, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang mutually criticized each other's methods. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are both loyal and reliable ministers, but why do they see so different things?"
"I didn't know why at the time, but now I know it after listening to Zhang Qing's analysis."
The official remembered that when Han Qi resigned as prime minister, he asked Han Qi if Wang Anshi could be prime minister. Han Qi said that Wang Anshi could be a Hanlin bachelor, but not the prime minister.
Think again that Zhang Yue recommended Wang Anshi when he first ascended the throne.
As for Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Han Wei, I'm afraid Zhang Yue had already planned what they were planning, and he knew them very well. From this point of view, Zhang Yue's ability to govern the country and stabilize the country is no less than that of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, or even better.
Zhang Yue obviously didn't hear what the official said in his heart, otherwise he would be so ashamed that he would crawl to the ground. I was really embarrassed to be raised to such a height by the officials by taking advantage of the time traveler's foresight.
Zhang Yue just thought that since he was a close associate of the official family, he had to speak objectively and say things that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi didn't say.
Don’t Sima Guang and Wang Anshi know the pros and cons of reducing expenditure and increasing revenue? With their political level, they must know.
but? Sima Guang only talked about how it was good to reduce expenditures and how it was in line with the ways of the previous kings, but he never said that this approach is difficult to implement today.
Wang Anshi just talked about how open source is feasible and easy to use, but he never said that reducing expenditure is actually better than open source.
Wang Anshi is like the defense lawyer, and Sima Guang is like the prosecution lawyer. They will definitely not say anything that is disadvantageous to their position.
But as a judge, the official must understand the unfinished words of the two men.
And only after the two of them argued, did they know the merits of it.
This means that when two blades cut each other, the sharp and the blunt reveal the truth; when the two theories are intertwined, the right and wrong are discerned.
The official was very satisfied with Zhang Yue's words and said, "I have won the man."
At this moment, the official said: "Zhang Qing, I have discussed it with Zhongshu, and you will be used for Tianzhang Pavilion to be made!"
Zhang Yue's heart moved after hearing this. Although he had already expected it, his heart still couldn't help but surge up at this moment.
No wonder everyone he met along the way was hesitating and hiding. Even Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei, and Tang Jie didn't dare to reveal a word. The reason is that the emperor personally simplified himself.
If they had told themselves in advance, they would have made the same mistake as their senior brother Sun.
The officials wanted to promote Chen Shengzhi to be the Privy Envoy. After discussing it with Zhongshu, but the edict had not yet been issued, Senior Brother Sun went to Shangshu and openly requested to promote Chen Shengzhi to the Privy Envoy.
When the officials read Sun Jue's memorial, they must have thought that 10,000 grass-mud horses were galloping past.
You obviously promoted Chen Shengzhi to the Privy Council, but what did you end up doing?
Senior Brother Sun's emotional intelligence is simply... worrisome. If he were an official, Senior Brother Sun must have been demoted to Java as an official by him.
The same promotion of himself to the waiting list came from the official's will. If Zeng Gongliang and others had told him in advance, it would be the same as Sun Jue.
No matter how you say it, it was the official who personally promoted him, and he was impeached by Lu Jing.
Instead, he used promoting himself as a way to slap Lu Jing in the face to protect his calf.
When Zhang Yue arrived in front of the palace, he had already anticipated 90% of what would happen and thought he would feel very calm. But when the official told him personally, Zhang Yue was still overwhelmed with emotion.
Not only to be restrained, but also to be treated with kindness by the emperor.
In the past, when he read books, he always felt that the imperial art and loyalty to the emperor were the dregs of feudal thought.
But at this moment, you are treated like this by the officials, how can you not be moved in your heart?
Zhang Yue immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I am a man waiting for a crime, how dare you take on such an important task! I hope your Majesty will take back his life!"
There was silence in the palace for a moment, and the officials had no words.
Zhang Yue felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. At this time, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
But I heard the official say slowly: "Zhang Qing, I can trust you! Don't let me down in the future!"
