Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were both dumbfounded when they heard that the officials had called the two of them to discuss the matter in the middle of the night.
The temperament of the official family is also obvious. Compared with other emperors of the Song Dynasty, the temperament of the Zhao family is a bit impulsive and easy to act on impulse.
Zhang Yue knew that the officials wanted to use Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to create a check and balance, which was like inciting two concubines to compete for favor in front of the emperor.
But it turned out that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang gave up their picks in front of the emperor at the same time.
This made the officials very embarrassed. How could they get down the stairs?
Later, the officials used Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi, and Zhao Wei to try to correct the shortcomings of the Qingmiao Law, but to be honest, the three prime ministers seemed to be somewhat powerless in this regard. Firstly, they lacked talent, and secondly, it was really difficult.
If he improved, it was not his own credit. If he improved, he would gain a political career. If he really failed, he would offend the emperor and Wang Anshi.
Therefore, the old bureaucrat had a way and simply came up with the procrastination technique.
As the saying goes, things will go better if they are slow, so the green shoot method has been discussed for several days without any result.
When the officials learned that without Wang Anshi, Sima Guang could not accomplish anything, they were furious and announced that Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing had entered the palace overnight.
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing both knew that the official was angry and could not take his words seriously.
But officials must also express their attitude. Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing said repeatedly, Your Majesty, it is a small matter to change the Qingmiao ritual, but it is a big matter to take care of the dragon body. You must not get angry because of this!
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing had mouths as sweet as honey, which coaxed the officials to lose their temper.
Now that he has calmed down and the officials have become clearer, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were promoted by him, and they will be reused in the future, but they cannot replace Sima Guang and Wang Anshi at the moment.
However, the official thought so in his heart, but he still refused to admit his mistake verbally. He said to Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing: "You two, think carefully for me, how can I change the green seedling law?"
Zhang Yue heard this and thought to himself, this is a question of how to reform the Qingmiao Law?
In order to untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be the one who wiped the shit himself.
However, Zhang Yue didn't know what to say. He wanted to see what Lu Huiqing said, but since he had a higher official position than Lu Huiqing, he said, "Lu Huiqing usually drafts the Qingmiao Law. Your Majesty, why don't you listen to his ideas!"
Zhang Yue kicked the ball to Lu Huiqing.
Lu Huiqing said: "Reporting to your majesty, when this green seedling law was originally drafted, I and Wang Anshi had indeed discussed it in detail. I don't think it is like this. I will wait until the draft is fully discussed with you before taking it out for your majesty to take a closer look at!"
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Lu Huiqing was really ambitious and would never let go of this opportunity to stand out.
In fact, the most accurate way for Lu Huiqing to do this was to push him aside, and then ask the officials to re-invite Wang Anshi to come out with Longli.
But Lu Huiqing took over the matter without hesitation, which shows his ambition.
After hearing what Lu Huiqing said, the officials were immediately delighted.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, at this moment, the official must be cursing Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, two old thieves. Do you really think that the court will not be able to survive without you two?
I still have Lu Huiqing, Zhang Yue can be used!
Zhang Yue was making up a vulgar eight o'clock scene in his mind.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist really love each other, but they got into trouble because of a trivial matter. The male protagonist wants the spare tire to become a regular, and the female protagonist is angry, but the spare tire rejects her. The male protagonist became angry and found Xiaosi and Xiaowu again.
One of Xiaosi and Xiao5 is self-aware, but the other one feels that with his own charm, he can make the hero forget about the heroine...
then……
The official said: "Very good. The two Qings will stay in the palace tonight and draft the regulations of the Qingmiao Law overnight!"
The official's face was filled with relief, and the servant at the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'd better go to bed quickly!"
"I know!"
The official nodded and said, "Make arrangements for the two Qings!"
After saying this, the official returned to the palace, and then the chamberlain sent Lu Huiqing and Zhang Yue out of the palace.
Zhang Yue looked at Lu Huiqing and said on the spot: "Jifu, the prime minister can't discuss it, how can we discuss it? You are too careless about this matter."
Zhang Yue should clear away the responsibility immediately. This is what you, Lu Huiqing, promised and has nothing to do with me.
Self-preservation always comes first.
Lu Huiqing smiled slightly and said: "Save it, leave everything to the governors, how can we have the chance!"
"As the saying goes, crisis, crisis, there is an opportunity in crisis!"
In the night breeze, Zhang Yue looked at Lu Huiqing's confident look and couldn't help but thought, "Are you a time traveler or am I a time traveler? Why did you take all the lines away from me?"
That night Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing stayed in the side hall.
The chamberlain held the lamp for Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing, put pen and paper on the table, and barely scratched their backs and shoulders.
After doing this, Lu Huiqing thanked the servants, put some money into their hands, and then sat next to the case to draft a manuscript.
As for Zhang Yue, who yawned, Lu Huiqing looked at it and said very considerately: "Du Zhi, you might as well rest first, but the manuscript has been drafted, you can read it."
Zhang Yue knew that Lu Huiqing had an arbitrary temperament. He did not allow anyone except Wang Anshi to change a single word of the manuscript he drafted in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division.
At the beginning, the officials sent Su Che and Chen Shengzhi sent Zhang Duan to the Ordinance Department of the Third Department to discuss the details of the reform with Lu Huiqing.
Zhang Duan was punished twice by Lu Huiqing, but he didn't say a word.
Only Su Che was stubborn and kept raising opinions, so Lu Huiqing hated Su Che deeply.
Zhang Yue knew Lu Huiqing's strong and competitive character, so he didn't fight with him and simply went back to sleep.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Yue saw that Lu Huiqing had already finished writing, and the other party did not wake him up, as if he was waiting for him.
Zhang Yue said: "I'm sorry, brother Jifu."
Lu Huiqing smiled generously and said: "I have just finished writing it. I am waiting to make it. Take a look at how Lu Mou writes it!"
Zhang Yue took the document from Lu Huiqing, and it said 'Changping New Law'!
Yes, although many people call it Qingmiao method, the official name in the memorial is only Qingmiao money, not Qingmiao method.
Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing both called it Changping New Method in their memorials.
Why is it called that?
Because the Song Dynasty has always had a system of constant stocking, that is, when the price of rice is cheap, the government will buy it at a price higher than that of the people, so as not to hurt the farmers. When the price of rice is high, it will sell it to the people at a price that is cheaper than the market price, but it must not be lower. On capital.
The court earns the difference between buying and selling prices and benefits the people at the same time.
This was invented by Liu Yan, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. It was originally a move that was convenient and beneficial to the people, but it was ruined by the Song Dynasty.
One is the problem of warehousing. Due to poor management by the government, a lot of food is rotten.
On the other hand, the government colluded with the savings family. Instead, they bought food when the price was high and sold it when the price was low. The people were made miserable, and in the end the profits were divided among the government and businessmen in collusion.
So the Changping Cang Method 2.0 is here.
The Green Crop Law means that the government does not give the people food, but directly lends them money to buy it themselves.
Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing have always insisted that this is called Changping New Law and not something else, in order to avoid fierce opposition to this law from lower-level officials.
Zhang Yue read Lu Huiqing's Chang Ping New Law, but saw that he was first refuting Han Qi's criticism of the Qingmiao Law one by one.
The talent in Lu Huiqing's mind can be expressed as freely as a river. One article completely refuted Han Qi's criticism.
As for the so-called modifications, they are just fine-tuning the details.
Among them, Han Qi criticized the most important ones. First, Hebei officials took three points of interest from local loans instead of the two points stipulated by the original court.
Second, Guofang households and third-class households and above are also within the scope of suppressing mergers. This does not mean suppressing mergers at all.
Lu Huiqing only focused on retorting and did not solve the problem at all.
Su Zhe told Zhang Yue that the disadvantages of the Green Miao Law were that the people got money by chance, which was not a blessing to the country. It was not convenient for the people to supervise the officials according to the law.
Han Qi and Su Che both said the same thing, that is, the officials from the imperial court who went to local areas to enforce the Young Crops Law were acting recklessly.
This is also what Sima Guang has repeatedly emphasized that power cannot be delegated.
Lu Huiqing said: "To be controlled, do you know that Han Gong has a huge property in Hebei, and he usually lends money to the people for profit. Once this green seedling law is implemented... hum."
"This..." Zhang Yue had also heard about it, but if Lu Huiqing suspected Han Qi's intentions... Judging from Zhang Yue's experience in dealing with Han Qi, he should not be such a person.
Zhang Yue felt that there were indeed serious problems with the Qingmiao Law, and it could be said that Lu Huiqing's amendments had not been changed.
Zhang Yue thought for a moment, and although he did not agree with the Green Crops Law, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing must implement it, so he might as well help improve it and do something for the people of the country.
At this moment, Zhang Yue stopped hiding it and started to add two places to Lu Huiqing's article.
Lu Huiqing was furious when she saw Zhang Yue's move. The regulations he wrote when he was in the Ordinance Department were always difficult to read. Zhang Yue actually dared to change his plan. Didn't he see how powerful he was?
After Zhang Yue finished writing, Lu Huiqing looked at the two places he wrote. At first, he didn't agree with it, thinking it was just that, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it really made up for the shortcomings of this method.
After Lu Huiqing shook the paper and looked at it again, she could no longer say a word of objection, thinking in her mind.
This boy's talent is better than mine! If he really competes with me, how can I compete with him?
Lu Huiqing closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. His original jealousy towards Zhang Yue suddenly turned into shame.
"Brother Jifu? Jifu?"
Lu Huiqing came back to her senses and said, "To save it, I thought... I thought it could be changed like this."
This sentence was almost unprecedented for Lu Huiqing, who never changed.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, I should have said it earlier.
"That's great, then Brother Lu, please copy it again, and you and I can present it to you!"
"good!"
Zhang Yue felt that Lu Huiqing's attitude toward him suddenly changed, but he couldn't tell what the changes were.
Anyway, it was like Lu Huiqing used to be confident when speaking to him, but now Lu Huiqing has become silent and her reaction seems to be half a beat too slow.
After Lu Huiqing copied it, Zhang Yue stamped it, and they went to see the official together.
At this time, the officials were engaged in a lawsuit in the Chongzheng Palace. It turned out that the censors Wang Zishao, Cheng Hao, and the admonisher Li Chang were all arguing with the officials in the palace.
They all said that the officials should not let Wang Anshi step down at this juncture and asked the officials to make Wang Anshi come back.
The official sat on the throne with a depressed look on his face, watching the three famous officials spitting.
