Wang Anshi, Zeng Bu Zai Zhongshu collected information from all aspects and learned that the biggest problem with the Qingmiao method is not other things but the suppression of matching!
Which of the four hundred military states in the Song Dynasty dared to say that the government had enough money?
And now that there is a profit-making method such as the Green Seed Method, there must be a problem of suppressing matching, which cannot be forbidden.
The so-called imperial court's order prohibiting suppression of mating became a dead letter.
Moreover, the green crop law in other states and counties in the world is 20% profit, while in Hebei it is 30% profit (annual interest rate is 60%). Han Qi also opposed it for this reason.
According to Li Changzeng, the local government in a certain place in Shaanxi did not even lend money to young farmers, but simply asked the people to pay interest after half a year.
This is simply a waste of time.
Wang Anshi was furious at that time and asked Li Chang to tell him which Shaanxi prefecture and county it was?
Li Chang said that I would not name specific names.
But whether there is such a situation as Li Chang mentioned, Wang Anshi actually knows it well, and I am afraid it is.
As long as the imperial court implements the Green Seed Law, there will definitely be suppression of distribution. As for the capital, dividends will be distributed directly to the people, there will be rogue methods like this.
Because the Song Dynasty was so big, there were always things that could not be taken into account, not to mention that the people had no power to resist in front of the government.
But what this switch brought was a sharp increase in the court's income.
Zeng Bu said very firmly: "Mr. Sir, when wealthy people lend money to the people, they earn at least four cents of interest, or even double the interest (borrow one and repay two). The court's green seedling method is indeed extremely convenient for the people, so it is not about interest on money." high."
"The only shortcoming is that it suppresses mating. Now the method of allocating money to each household can curb the harm of mating! Besides, if the households can mortgage their houses, they can also get young people's money. Many state and county governments don't have enough money to spread. , how can there be any harm in suppressing the common people? Bu heard that recently many wealthy households in the imperial court pretended to claim their wealth."
Wang Anshi nodded when he heard this. What Zeng Bu said was true. For example, some wealthy households also needed a large sum of money urgently, and private loans were too expensive, so they asked the tenant farmers below to go to the government to borrow money falsely, and finally paid back the money themselves. To the court.
In fact, the court's attitude towards such rich households pretending to claim property was that they wished they could be more generous.
This is also the convenience of the Green Seeds Law, but it is something that the opposition never mentions.
Wang Anshi said: "There are hundreds of military prefectures in the world, so it is difficult to manage them all easily, but the Qingmiao method is generally speaking. My original intention is to unite the wealth of all the people in the world and manage the world's affairs." Wealth is the law, and finally it is taken from the people and used by the people.”
"As long as the suppression can be stopped, this method can be implemented all over the world!"
Wang Anshi said categorically.
Yes, it is true that the only harm of the Young Crops Law is that it suppresses mating. However, Zhang Yue's method of dispersing young crops money according to households did reduce the harm of suppressing mating. At the same time, Guo households used mortgages to mortgage their houses. It is also a wonderful way to get money from green crops.
Because Fangguo households do not have the problem of suppressing allocation, it is well known that the government cannot allow Fangguo households to mortgage their houses and then borrow money for young crops. This can also reduce the harm of suppressing allocation among farmers.
Zhang Yue's only two strategies have indeed reduced the suppression of distribution.
Wang Anshi had to admit at this moment that Zhang Yue's talents exceeded those of Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu of the reform faction. But Zhang Yue opposed the Green Crops Law!
When Wang Anshi returned home, he was focused on thinking about the reform and seemed a little absent-minded along the way.
As he walked along the palace corridor, several officials saluted and greeted him, but he turned a blind eye and just walked forward with his head down.
The little yellow gatekeepers guarding the palace gates along the way were not surprised when they saw this, and said with a smile: "My husband is thinking about something again."
"The last time I went on a trip, I almost ran into an official's house."
Several Xiaohuangmen covered their mouths and snickered.
At this moment, Wang Anshi was thinking about Zhang Yue's appointment. He wanted Zhang Yue to be sent abroad to gain experience in local governance, and then transferred to the capital. For this reason, he felt that he could risk the world's disapproval and send Zhang Yue all the way. If he is successful, he will be transferred back to the capital in the future.
As for the discord between Zhang Yue and himself, Wang Anshi felt that it had nothing to do with it.
He had a disagreement with Li Shen, the envoy of the Third Secretary, and Li Shen even looked down on Wang Anshi. When Emperor Shenzong originally appointed Wang Anshi and Wang Tao to set up a bureau to take charge of finance, it was canceled due to Li Shen's opposition.
However, Wang Anshi resolutely implemented the green seedling method used by Li Shen.
When others asked him, Wang Anshi and Li Canchun made peace with each other and had no personal feelings at all.
The same is true for Zhang Yue. It doesn't matter if he doesn't get along with him, or if he doesn't have any personal relationship (in fact, they are still related by marriage). Even if he changes his position, there is no problem for Zhang Yue to liquidate himself.
But where Qingmiao Law will go in a few years is Wang Anshi's top priority.
The Young Crops Law cannot be abolished like this, and the reform must have continuity. The person who can abolish the Green Crops Law will probably be Zhang Yue.
Wang Anshi thought of this and returned to the mansion in a carriage.
As soon as Wang Anshi arrived home, Wang Yu hurriedly greeted him.
Wang Yu stopped Wang Anshi and said, "Dad, just now Baoguang (Lian Hengfu) came and told me something."
Wang Anshi asked casually, somewhat absent-mindedly: "What's the matter?"
Wang Yu and Wang Anshi walked to the study, sat down, and said, "It was the Imperial Academy who told Yan Fu that he asked Wang Mang and Wu about Zhou Bian's rituals..."
Hearing this, Wang Anshi came back to his senses immediately, with a look of anger in his eyes.
This kind of question is exactly the same as the question Su Shi asked when he was explaining the exam in the Imperial College.
"...After that, Su Song's son Su Jia wrote an article that directly denounced the wrongness of the current reform. His words were arrogant and he had no regard for the principles and laws. However, such an article was actually ranked first!"
The article by Su Song's son Su Jia actually won first place?
Who is Su Song?
He had just been slapped in the face by the Sanshe people incident, and now he was the most famous person in Sanshe people. When he returned the title of Ci, many officials came to his home to congratulate him and express their admiration for his integrity.
Now, after Su Song's son Su Jia wrote an article criticizing the current reform, he was not demoted to the bottom, but was ranked first.
What does it mean that such a trend appears in Taixue, which Wang Anshi regards as the foundation of the new law?
And the person in charge of Gou Taixue today happens to be Zhang Yue.
Wang Yu said: "This matter is very serious in Taixue. Must we arrest and question it?"
"Who do you want to arrest?"
Wang Yu said: "Dad, Zhang Duzhi has been busy with Zhizhigao these days. He has not been to the Imperial Academy for more than ten days, so we can assume that he is unaware of this matter."
After a pause, Wang Yu said: "But we must have a clear attitude on how to deal with these teachers and students who oppose the reform. There is absolutely no tolerance here. If he can't handle it, we have reasons to handle him. At the same time, Take back the power to supervise Imperial College."
"I suggest that we should show our favor to Zhang Duzhi now. Isn't he still in charge of Guozijian? According to the rules, officials with two systems and above can be called Guozijian, so we will change it to Guozijian. This is in line with the rules and can also urge him to establish Do this."
