Seeing the three famous officials in the palace, Zhang Yue also speculated on their motives.
Zhang Yue was on good terms with Cheng Hao and knew that he had no selfish motives at all. It was Wang Anshi who had to change the Qingmiao Law, and no one else could change it. Once the changes went wrong and a civil uprising was triggered, it would be bad. Therefore, although Cheng Hao opposed the Qingmiao Law, at this time he felt that Wang Anshi had to do it, and strongly urged the officials to revive Wang Anshi.
Wang Zishao once recommended Wang Anshi to join the Ordinance Department of the Third Department for detailed review of texts. When he was in the Ordinance Department, he told Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing that the Qingmiao Law was really inconvenient.
Wang Anshi not only did not feel dissatisfied, but also recommended him to be the censor. Therefore, Wang Zishao probably came here because he was really afraid that Wang Anshi would be dismissed from office and he would lose his backer.
As for Li Chang?
This is the person who was stabbed in the back by Wang Anshi's protégé Li Ding before. Li Chang was a student of Lu Gongzuo, and he also worked in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division, also because he opposed the Youth Law. Li Chang's point of view is that the young crop method cannot make profits.
Before the promulgation of the Young Crops Law, Li Chang had a good personal relationship with Wang Anshi. And after Li Chang was stabbed in the back by Li Ding, what was his attitude toward Wang Anshi?
Wang Anshi resigned this time, and Li Chang went to Wang Anshi's home several times to invite Wang Anshi to come back.
He also told the officials that although I opposed the Qingmiao Law, the world could not live without King Anshi for a day. This man was extremely virtuous. If the Qingmiao method does not work because of the minister's objection, it is better to expel the minister than to dismiss Wang Anshi.
After Li Chang said these words to the officials, he turned around and immediately sent his family to Wang Anshi's house to tell Wang Anshi what he said in front of the officials.
As for how Zhang Yue knew, his wife was a relative of Wang Anshi. Li Chang's words were told to her by Shi Qi Niang from her second brother.
However, no matter what the motives of the three people were, the official family was now one in charge and the other two were in charge. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had tricked him, and now he was asked to invite Wang Anshi back immediately, so where could he put his face?
"Your Majesty, we must invite Wang Anshi to return to the court to take charge of matters!"
"Without him presiding over the government, nothing can be done!"
"The rest of the people are not qualified to take on this important responsibility!"
When Lu Huiqing and Zhang Yue arrived together, the officials were looking sad. Who could be used without Wang Anshi and Sima Guang? Who in the world could change this young seedling law.
The official paced back and forth
"Your Majesty, a new law in Changping has been drafted."
? ? ? Official family.
? ? ? Cheng Hao, Li Chang, Wang Zishao.
Changping’s new law? what is this? Besides Wang Anshi, who else in the world dares to change this method?
The three officials took a closer look and saw that it was Lu Huiqing, and they were immediately relieved.
Yes, the Green Crops Law was Wang Anshi's idea, but the specific details were drafted by Lu Huiqing. If anyone in the world is qualified to change the Green Crops Law, other than Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing can barely count as one.
The officials were shocked and delighted. Three prime ministers below Zhongshu Province and hundreds of officials discussed the Qingmiao Law for several days, but Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing changed it in one night?
But as for the details, let’s see it first before talking about it.
The chamberlain knew the official's anxious mood, so he took the manuscript from Lu Huiqing's hand and presented it to the king without the official saying anything.
Officials can't wait to see this new law in Changping...
"Ten households have one insurance, and powerful persons above the third level are required to contribute to the household insurance. The fifth-level household and its customers are not allowed to exceed 500 yuan each, the fourth-level household is not allowed to exceed three guanwen, and the third-level household is not allowed to exceed 6 guan. , each household in the second class cannot exceed ten guans, and each household in the first class cannot exceed 15 guans!"
…
"If there is money left over from the young crops, for example, if every household in the village has its own property that can be used as a loan, those who are willing to borrow official money will be guaranteed for every five households! According to the rules of rural young crops, the loan cannot exceed the value of the property. Half!"
…
The officials could see that this new law in Changping seemed to be aimed at the disadvantages of borrowing money from Fangguo households proposed by Han Qi.
However, the specific details of Changping's new law cannot be determined for the time being.
"It just so happens that the three Qing family members are here to take a closer look!"
"Invite your husband to come here immediately!"
Li Chang, Wang Zishao and Cheng Hao circulated them one by one.
They all have sufficient experience in serving as local officials, and their previous opposition to the Green Crops Law was not a random criticism. But now that the new law in Changping has come out, can it make up for the shortcomings of the original Green Crops Law?
The three of them were looking closely.
At this time, the three prime ministers Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi and Zhao Wei had arrived, and they had been waiting in the outer hall.
They knew that the official family was being forced by Yan Guan to invite Wang Anshi to come out, but they were really helpless.
What could they do if they were right there?
It is not easy to amend the Green Seed Law, and it is better to abolish it directly, but the officials and Wang Anshi refused to abolish it.
Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi, Zhao Wei heard that it was Zhang Yue, and Lu Huiqing had changed the Qingmiao method overnight. Chen Shengzhi showed an inquiring look.
The Young Crops Law is such an important national policy, and you changed it in one night? Does it seem sloppy?
A large group of us at Zhongshu tried to change it for several days, but they still couldn't change it.
Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhang Yue, and Lu Huiqing looked uncertain. He looked at Zhang Yue, and then at Lu Huiqing. Given their personalities, it was probably Lu Huiqing who wanted to show off his skills!
Zhao Wei read the article without saying a word.
Li Chang already asked: "Did you really change this amount overnight?"
Lu Huiqing's lips moved, and at this time Zeng Gongliang said: "I think it can be done!"
Lu Huiqing revised the new law in the Ordinance Department, and the Green Miao Law was the most effective. Zeng Gongliang thought that this law was revised by Lu Huiqing.
Zeng Gongliang glanced at Lu Huiqing and thought, although this person is evil, he is indeed very talented!
After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, Chen Shengzhi nodded. He was a thoughtful person. He also thought that Qingmiao Law Reform would not allow him to show off his abilities, but he was worried about falling out with Wang Anshi, so he hid it.
Now I can see that this method is indeed better than my own! The person who comes up with the idea to change this method is ten times more talented than himself!
The official saw that the three prime ministers unanimously approved it, but he still didn't quite understand.
But Zeng Gongliang explained: "In the original law, the most fearful thing is that the Green Seeding Law will deprive the people, but the fifth-class household only has 500 cash, which is the monthly income of an ordinary family. Even if it is 20% of the profit, it is only 300 cash." , an ordinary person can earn it in four or five days. A fourth-class household can only earn 600 cash. Good!"
The official suddenly said: "This is to distribute young crops money according to household level! I really didn't expect that changing the young crops method in this way would be even more royal."
The other three famous officials also understood after listening to Zeng Gongliang's explanation.
This can indeed greatly weaken the shortcomings of the young seedling method!
Zhao Bian looked at it for a long time and then said: "Although the Green Seedling Method is not good, it is indeed better than the original method! Even if you have the remaining money, it is okay to lend it to Guo Min! However, this method still needs Wang Xianggong to see it before it can be completed."
Lu Huiqing's face was ashen, and he distributed money to young people according to household status. This was such a simple and easy method, but why didn't he think that Zhang Yue would see it at a glance.
Why am I so stupid at this moment!
Seeing that this method was unanimously praised by officials and ministers, Lu Huiqing felt even more sad.
The official looked at Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing, thinking that I really found the right person this time.
Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi looked at each other and thought, they are really terrible. Wang Anshi was afraid that these two people would succeed them as prime ministers.
At this time, Zhang Yue stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, most of the copywriting was drafted by Jifu, and I actually did not contribute much!"
Lu Huiqing was stunned when he heard this. Why did Zhang Yue give the credit to himself?
