Inside Wang Anshi's private residence.
Brothers Wang Anli and Wang Anguo were sitting in the room talking to Wang Anshi.
Wang Anli happened to return to Beijing to report on his duties, while Wang Anguo rushed home from Xijing when he heard that his brother was resigning.
When it comes to Qingmiao Law, both brothers actually have objections. However, when they heard that their brother wanted to resign, they both unanimously dissuaded him.
Nowadays, the framework for reform is so easy to put up. How can it be abandoned halfway at this time? All the manpower and material resources in the early stage will be wasted.
Wang Anshi half-closed his eyes, listening to the words of the two brothers, trying to persuade Wang Anshi to change his mind.
"Brother, how much effort has been wasted on the reform..."
"That edict was drafted by Sima Twelve himself, and it was definitely not the official intention..."
No matter how the two brothers tried to persuade him, Wang Anshi refused to speak. At this time Wang Yu came in and said, "Dad, last night the officials urgently announced that Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing had entered the palace!"
Wang Anshi nodded slightly.
Wang Yu said: "I must have called the two of them to discuss the practice of Qingmiao Dharma. If it were anyone else, that would be fine, but Lu Huiqing..."
Wang Yu saw at a glance that Lu Huiqing was very ambitious, so he resented others calling Lu Huiqing Yan Hui.
Apart from Wang Anshi, no other person is allowed to exist in the royal party.
Wang Anguo said: "Lu Jifu's qualifications are too young...but Zhang Duzhi, he is waiting to be restrained now, and the next step will be to know how to make a imperial edict!"
Wang Anli said: "You don't need to wait for the system, you can also know the imperial edict. But I know that he is a cautious official and never seems to say a word about the new law."
Wang Yu snorted and said: "Except for Lu Jifu, there is no other person in the world who can change this Qingmiao method."
Wang Anshi said: "In the past, when Lu Buwei was the founder of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, anyone who could change one character would be given a thousand gold coins as a gift. Although my legislation attaches great importance to laws and regulations, if someone can really change this green seedling law, why don't I give him a thousand gold coins as a gift!"
"Anyone who can change my young seedling method must be a genius in this world!"
While they were talking, someone else reported that Lu Huiqing was asking for a meeting!
When they heard that Lu Huiqing was coming, Wang Anguo and Wang Anli were relieved.
Wang Yuze said: "Let's see what he says!"
After Lu Huiqing entered, he saw Wang Anshi bowing his head to the ground, and then presented the manuscript of Changping's new law without saying a word.
Wang Anshi was silent for a moment, then took the manuscript and read it.
Wang Anshi read the manuscript very quickly, and the room was silent. Wang Yuze looked askance at Lu Huiqing as soon as he entered the room.
After a while, Wang Anshi covered his head and said: "Jifu, you didn't change these two items in Qingmiao Law, right?"
…
Lu Huiqing raised her head and looked at Wang Anshi, her lips moving.
Lu Huiqing thought that Wang Xianzhi learned calligraphy from Wang Xizhi and felt that he was the essence of his father. One day, he showed his calligraphy to Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi clicked a dot under his character "大".
Wang Xianzhi showed this calligraphy to his mother, and her mother said that among the many characters in this calligraphy, only the character Tai was the most like his father's.
At this moment, Lu Huiqing became a joke in front of Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi didn't even see why he changed so many items, but these two were not changed by himself...
Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty said that the money for young crops should be given to each household and the remaining money should be used as money for young crops to be distributed to the people of Fangguo!"
Wang Anshi nodded.
Lu Huiqing said: "It was changed by Zhang Duzhi."
Wang Anguo and Wang Anli were surprised and happy.
Wang Yu couldn't help but feel good about it. He didn't believe that Zhang Yue could change his father's Qingmiao method, so he took the manuscript from Wang Anshi and read it.
"Oh!" Wang Anshi didn't seem surprised.
Wang Anshi said: "If Jifu thought about distributing money from young people to each household, he would not hide it from me."
Lu Huiqing was very ashamed when he heard this.
That's right, if I really thought about these two methods, I would have included them as early as when I was drafting the Green Seed Law. Why bother to bring out the Green Seed Law now when the whole court is criticizing it. Isn't this obviously the army of General Wang Anshi?
…
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but think of the scene during the day.
At that time, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were leaving the Chongzheng Palace, while the officials, several prime ministers and officials were still discussing the feasibility of the Green Miao Law in the palace.
"Du Zhi! What did you mean by being in the palace just now?" Lu Huiqing stopped Zhang Yue.
Although Lu Huiqing was competitive, she also had pride and did not want to accept Zhang Yue's love for nothing. Is Zhang Yue doing a favor by giving himself the credit for the Green Seedling Method?
Zhang Yue said to Lu Huiqing: "It was Zhang who said it just now, which made Brother Jifu feel concerned. This is Zhang's fault."
Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue and said: "It's not Lu who is easy to cause trouble, but I really don't dare to take the credit for this. Those who have no merit will not be rewarded."
Zhang Yue said to Lu Huiqing: "Brother Jifu is of high integrity, but does Brother Jifu know why Zhang wants to blame you for reforming the Green Miao Law?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Please give me some advice from Zhang Daizhi!"
Zhang Yue said seriously: "I don't want to take it seriously, but does Brother Lu think this Chang Ping's new method is really a good method?"
After hearing this, Lu Huiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Is it true that Du Zhi did not see the official family and the three ministers, and the three officials all praised this method with one voice?"
Zhang Yue said: "You see, when Liu Yan, the wise prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, changed the Chang Pingcang method, it was not unanimously praised by later generations as a good law for all generations. But why is it not now that the Changping method in the late Tang Dynasty has been corrupted? Where have the eternal good laws gone?”
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "You are short-sighted. Everything in the world is governed by laws that will lead to harm. As long as you make some adjustments at the right time..."
Zhang Yue said: "Ji Fu is wrong... No law will bring harm for a long time, but there is a way to treat people without a way to cure it. This green seedling method is indeed a good method, but it will only take two or three years at most before the subordinates can become proficient in it and use it. A despicable way of amassing people’s wealth.”
"Therefore, if this method is practiced by the right person, it will be of great benefit. If it is not practiced by the right person, it will be very harmful. This method will not be beneficial for a long time, but will eventually cause harm. When the time comes, the people will still suffer!"
"What's the point of saving it?"
Zhang Yue said: "The people who are responsible for the law of young crops should not be officials, but the people who manage money well! This is the foundation and the Tao. As for changing the method, it is just a technique. No matter how good the technique is, it is still a technique, so No matter how the law is changed, it will become a bad law after a few years, and in the end it will only harm the people!"
Lu Huiqing had heard the metaphor of Zhang Yue's Guan Winery and Pumai Winery. This is also where he and Zhang Yue have always disagreed.
Zhang Yue said: "Now Jifu understands why I gave in? Because this green seedling method is actually a method for the sick people. Zhang's change now is just to reduce the suffering of the people, but in the end it is not Zhang's original intention!"
"I really don't want to take this credit. Brother Jifu is a capable person and he will definitely be able to discern what I say from the bottom of my heart!"
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but close her eyes after hearing this.
Zhang Yue was thinking about whether this method could benefit the people, but Lu Huiqing was only thinking about how to win merit, how to impress officials and prime ministers, and how to show off his abilities.
But now he, Lu Huiqing, is competing with Zhang Yue...
Just as Zhuangzi said, there is a bird in the south, and its name is the 铓鶵.
The bird's bird originates from the South China Sea and flies over the North Sea. It won't stop unless it's a parasol tree, it won't eat unless it's made of solid food, and it won't drink unless it's a sweet spring. Then the owl caught the rotten rat, flew past it, looked up at it and said, "Scared."
Lu Huiqing was like an owl catching a rotten rat. When he saw a rotten rat flying by, he thought the other party was coming to snatch the rotten rat from him. Then he angrily gestured at the other party and shouted: "Scare!"
Lu Huiqing felt even sadder after hearing Zhang Yue's words. This time, he had completely defeated Zhang Yue, not only in terms of talent and learning, but more importantly, in terms of structure.
Lu Huiqing was extremely uncomfortable. He had always been competitive and strong, but this time he was completely defeated in Zhang Yue.
After Zhang Yue left, Lu Huiqing walked aimlessly on the palace road, and couldn't help but think of the ambition he had made when he started studying, and his original intention to pray for the people.
Why do I sometimes forget when I’m walking?
Thinking of this, Lu Huiqing sighed.
The next day, Zhang Yue came to Wang Anshi's house.
Wang Anshi said to Zhang Yue: "I knew early on that the young seedling method had such shortcomings. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Yue said: "I'm reporting this to you. It's not that I didn't tell you, but that I didn't know. That day, the officials were urgently issuing an edict late at night. In my sleep, I suddenly heard that a goddess came into my dream... and taught me two methods. When I woke up the next day... It is also a coincidence, God wants to help Mr. Xi."
How could Wang Anshi believe Zhang Yue's words of running away from home?
Wang Anshi said: "Then let's leave it like that! After all, I'm not a person who doesn't accept advice, but it's a pity that most of the people in the world are superficial people, and most of their opinions are out of line, so I don't even want to listen to them. nor."
"It can be saved, but what you say is beneficial. I want to listen carefully to this green seedling method that treats people!"
Zhang Yue was really surprised when he saw that Wang Anshi was willing to ask for his opinion. Did the sun come out from the west?
Wang Anshi is not a man who beats around the bush, but is focused on getting things done.
Zhang Yue thought of this and said bluntly: "The Qingmiao Law is indeed a good law, but if it is corrupted in the future, it will definitely be the fault of unworthy officials. I will observe the opinions of the sages and test it with today's events. The original intention of the Qingmiao Law is indeed not good." It is bad, but the disadvantage is that it is not given grain but gold, and it is located in a county instead of a township. The most important thing is that its position is an official, not a villager. Therefore, it can be done in a corner, but not Traveling around the world..."
Using officials to implement the Green Crops Law is the biggest drawback.
Therefore, after Wang Anshi's political reform, the Green Crop Law was never implemented again. The real folk method of preparing for famine was the Shecang Law created by Zhu Xi and Master Zhu who was looked down upon by many people.
The Shecang Law is to set up Shecang in the countryside and then manage it with government supervision and private management.
The government exports rice, and the government can supervise the entry and exit of rice. At the same time, if problems arise, the government can investigate.
But the specific management was done by township officials and scholars.
Of course, the Shecang Law is not without its shortcomings. The government always uses various excuses to expropriate and expropriate Shecang. At the same time, the people who manage Shecang will also be corrupt... But whether the Shecang Law is good or not depends on how long it takes to implement it.
This Shecang method has always been problematic, with a lot of criticism from the government and the public, but it was barely used until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the Green Miao method was just a flash in the pan.
The Qingmiao Law is not bad, but it places too much emphasis on the quality and conduct of officials. As long as it encounters bad officials and mediocre officials, the people will suffer.
The Shecang Law means government supervision and private administration.
Government-supervised private ownership means separation of ownership and management rights, similar to the Temasek model.
Of course, there are many problems with this method, but like the comparison between the Qingmiao method and the Shecang method, the conclusion is obvious.
Wang Anshi listened very carefully. Wang Anguo and Wang Anli sat aside and listened to Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue sitting and talking.
