The five hundred and fortieth chapters are weird and correct

Chapter 543 Weirdly correct

Wang Yu just smiled and nodded lightly.

Lu Huiqing continued: "I heard that the government officials handed over the inner treasury to the queen for rectification, why didn't they give it to the two princes in the palace? The name is not justified, and the words are not consistent."

"So for the sake of harmony in the family, the young master should do his part, take care of the family, and arrange the monthly expenses properly! Firstly, you can see your ability when participating in politics. Secondly, the salary for participating in politics is not cheap now, so why spend it casually?

If you buy some acres of land and take a rest, you can enjoy the beauty of the woods and springs."

Wang Yu understood the idea and said with a smile: "Just like state affairs, we must first establish laws and regulations from finance."

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "If you organize your family and then govern the country, those who follow me will stay and those who are not mine will go. Otherwise, how can we do things? The principles are the same."

The two of them understood each other tacitly, looked at each other, smiled, and then continued to read the letters.

In March, Wang Anshi made his first major personnel transfer since he took office, triggering yet another court dispute.

The governor of Hebei Province was envoy to Kaifeng Prefecture, and Teng Fu, a Hanlin scholar, was informed of Yunzhou;

Zheng Xieba, a Hanlin scholar, knew Hangzhou;

Wang Gongchen, the envoy of Xuanhui North Courtyard, informed Yingtian Mansion;

After knowing the advice of Duke Qian of the Remonstrance Court, I also learned of Jiangning Prefecture.

The story started with Teng Fu, who took the initiative to inspect Hebei and returned to Beijing one month earlier than Sima Guang and Su You to resume his post in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wang Anshi believed that the revitalization of Hebei required important ministers to be in charge, and the coal and iron industry in Yunzhou, the two salt fields in Ninghai in Binzhou and Yanshan in Cangzhou were new tasks. Teng Fu was in Yuncheng during the disaster relief work and understood the local situation. He believed that for the sake of the country, it was necessary to

When both Sima Guang and Su You were rejected by the emperor from serving outside the country, Teng Fu was the best candidate.

At the same time, because Wang Gongchen had flaws in his previous resume, he was not regarded as a gentleman in the court's reputation, so he should be released together.

Teng Fu had a good reputation in the court, and it was a bit disgusting to be out together with Wang Gongchen.

Moreover, it is obviously unfair to change the name from Kaifeng Prefecture to Yunzhou when he had just made meritorious service in Hebei Province.

Therefore, there were private rumors in the court that Wang Anshi and Teng Fu had a conflict during the tribute ceremony, and Wang Anshi "deeply hated him".

In addition, Zhao Xu also valued Teng Fu very much. There were private rumors in the court that Wang Anshi was afraid that Teng Fu would have too much negative influence on Zhao Xu, so he tried every means to let him go.

In addition, it was also because of one thing.

Once, Zhao Xu asked Teng Fu: "Do you know the party of gentlemen and villains?"

Teng Fu replied: "There are no cliques in the court, although the ruler can help; otherwise, even if he is a sage, he will be in danger. A villain is like a weed and a vine, and he must be attached to a tree to achieve success."

When Wang Gongchen returned to the court from Beijing, he expressed his gratitude to Zhao Xu, saying that he wanted to be loyal, but he did not know what his majesty wanted.

Zhao Xu asked Wang Anshi for his opinion, and Wang Anshi said: "When Gongchen was in Renzong, he was acquainted with Empress Wencheng's family. Everyone knew that he was not righteous and should not be reinstated. However, this is not enough to be considered treacherous. What he said was unknown to His Majesty. That is

To please your superiors and obey orders, this is truly evil talk!"

Therefore, there were rumors in the court that Wang Gongchen and Teng Fu were both evil and righteous, and were demoted on the same day because they both mentioned the same thing: vines are attached to trees, and party affairs are carried out.

The rumor about Zheng Xie's demotion is that he handled the quail case when Quan was dispatched to Kaifeng Mansion and refused to follow Wang Anshi's method. Later, Wang Anshi resigned because of improper application of the law, so he became enemies.

In addition, he and Teng Fu were good friends, and Zeng Gongliang was originally planning to let Zheng Xie know about Luoyang, Xijing. Wang Anshi claimed in front of Zhao Xu that Zheng Xie was treacherous and must go out to Hangzhou to find out.

Qian Gongfu was a good friend of Wang Anshi. He simply believed that it was inappropriate for Teng Fu to know about Yunzhou. He told Zhao Xu several times that Teng Fu should not leave Beijing, and he was implicated as a result.

Since your good friend is blocking the way, ask him to move.

There are rumors that there is a foreshadowing of this matter, and that is Xue Xiang.

Before Su You arrived in Weizhou, Xue Xiang was the deputy transshipment envoy to Shaanxi Province. Wang Anshi was leading the Qunhu Division at that time. Xue Xiang asked him to exchange salt for horses, so he was highly appreciated by Wang Anshi.

In the late years of Zhiping, after Su You left office, Xue Xiang was dismissed from office because of his disloyalty.

Zhang Jing, the Huainan transshipment envoy, was responsible for inspecting the gains and losses of Shaanxi Yanma. After returning, he pointed out that Xue Xiang had deceived the court and had made false claims and concealed reports.

Qian Gongfu and Fan Chunren both said that Xue Xiang should be demoted for his crime; but Wang Anshi fought against the crowd's opinions and used Zhang Jing as a countermeasure, and in turn promoted Xue Xiang to Jianghuai Road Shipping Envoy.

In return, Xue Xiang immediately petitioned the Yongxing army to buy and sell the salt field, and use the side fee of 100,000 yuan to store it in Yongxing as a salt banknote.

What is more controversial is about Teng Fu's successor.

Originally, Zhao Xu wanted Sun Changqing, the magistrate of Dingzhou, to serve as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture. Prime Minister Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang did not comment on this, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

However, Wang Anshi said that he believed that Sun Changqing was a treacherous villain and could not take on this important task. He recommended Li Suzhi, who had made great contributions to disaster relief in Hebei and was highly praised by Sima Guang and Su You, to take the post.

Su You was so busy in Zhengzhou that he hit the back of his head with his feet. When he heard about this chaos, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

No one is clean!

According to the facts, there is actually nothing wrong with Wang Anshi's appointment.

And it is not without benefits to Su You.

The revitalization of Hebei is based on his strategy, so Su You certainly hopes that the core of Yunzhou will be in charge of an honest and capable minister.

Teng Fu is really a good choice.

Wang Gongchen was a traitor that everyone wanted to beat, so he was right not to stay with Zhao Xu.

Xue Xiang, an old boy, was a close comrade-in-arms when he was in Shaanxi. Needless to say, his economic ability is more than enough to serve as the Jianghuai transshipment envoy.

Li Suzhi also had a friendship with him, and he and Sima Guang had recommended him to the emperor.

The person carrying the sedan chair knows Kaifeng Prefecture, which is also very beneficial to his strategy in Zhengzhou.

Zheng Xie and Qian Gongfu have nothing to do with me.

But the question is, why are these right things so awkward when they come together?

Especially Xue Xiang, who took over Yanyan as a state-owned monopoly, his Jianghuai shipping department will feel comfortable and have money to buy grain! But it will definitely have a huge impact on Shaanxi's economy.

The Shuzhong salt-making method was used in salt decomposition. At the beginning, Sitong Company played a major role, with 20% of the shares in it. Sales were mainly based on the company, and it has been very popular.

Now that Xue Xiang is doing this, he is betraying himself and Sitong Company. He is determined that he does not dare to make fun of Shaanxi's finance, so he is ready to swallow up the 20% of the shares as a vote for Wang Anshi!

Nothing more to say, this is preparation for the next "equal loss method".

Later generations often associate this law with state regulation and praise it, thinking that it is an effective measure to restrain big businessmen and powerful people.

But if you study carefully, you will find that this is not the case.

The most important thing to understand about the "equal loss method" is the eight characters: move the rich to the cheap, and make use of the people.

The so-called suppression of the monopoly of big businessmen, using state capital to buy low and sell high, and usurping the interests of businessmen in the name of the state not only led to misunderstandings at the time, but even thousands of years later, it has been misunderstood by countless experts and scholars.

In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was forced to take domestic plundering measures as his foreign wars were in full swing, which led to the imminent collapse of the country's economy.

The tax tributes from various places are converted into the most abundant and cheapest local items, and transported to areas with high prices for sale. The core of this is government-run commerce. The purpose is to suppress personal business behavior and enrich the national finance. The core is to sell and profit.

It did save Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the short term, but the disastrous consequences that followed are self-evident. Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost both of his big bets, so he was considered a winner.

Even so, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict after visiting Mount Tai: "What you have done is outrageous and rebellious, which has made the world miserable. You must not regret it. From now on, anyone who hurts the people and wastes the world will be punished."

The core of Wang Anshi's "Equal Loss Method" is quite different.

In Bianjing during the Song Dynasty, grain relied on the Six Southeast Routes for transportation, and the amount of grain supplied through the canal has reached as high as 5.5 million shi a year.

This is undoubtedly a huge amount. These grains are divided into two types, one is the normal rent, and the other is the insufficiency of the rent.

Sima Guang once reported that in the six grain-producing areas, the people had enough food but lacked money, so the country should purchase grain from these places to prevent the low price of grain from hurting farmers.

During the 100 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, from the very beginning, all taxes were rented. Later, the taxes gradually decreased and the taxes gradually increased, and by the time Su You was in, the taxes already accounted for a small half of the total.

Wang Anshi's method has been used by some people in the Song Dynasty. During the Renzong Dynasty, Xu Yuan served as a shipping envoy. When the roads owed rice that was expensive, he ordered them to lose money to pay the tax amount. Then they bought grain from the roads that had low rice prices to make up for the expenses of the court that year.

Rental amount.
