Prime Minister

Chapter 427 Resolve
After the banquet was over, Zhang Yue and other friends were all drunk, and they were sincerely happy for Huang Lu.

Zhang Yue understands that at his age, it is difficult to make friends sincerely, so he cherishes the relationship with Guo Lin and Huang Lu very much.

Zhang Yue pulled Huang Lu and talked for a while. Although Huang Lu didn't have much joy on his face, he gradually smiled when he saw that everyone was happy for him.

As for Shen Kuo getting such a good son-in-law with yellow shoes, he was so happy that he was given a few extra bowls of yellow soup, and he didn't know about his personnel early on.

It was Xi Zhangyue who helped Shen's family as a matchmaker for Shen Yu, privately implying that he would strongly support Zhang Yue in the matter of rectifying the name of the exchange office.Zhang Yue reciprocated and secretly donated fifty shares to Shen Yu.

As for Su Xun staring at Wang Anshi from a distance, he drank one cup after another.

As for Zhang Yue's last farewell to Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi asked Zhang Yue: "Since you use salt banknotes as currency, how do you deal with the fake banknotes issued in the Northwest?"

After Zhang Yue heard Wang Anshi's words, he thought in his heart that he supported Xue Xiang's unlimited issuance of false money.

Issuing false money indiscriminately can be understood as currency inflation.

Zhang Yue said: "Issuing false banknotes indiscriminately is unstoppable, but there is a difference between leniency and fierceness. I think it is not too lenient, nor too violent."

Wang Anshi said: "Jiechi only sells more than 110 million seats a year, but actually distributes more than 170 million seats. The 59 coins per year are fake banknotes? Is the 59 banknotes generous or fierce?"

Zhang Yue said: "It's fierce!"

Wang Anshi thought for a while and asked, "What's the harm in either being lenient or fierce?"

Zhang Yue said: "If there are too few fake banknotes, the salt is easy to be expensive or the valuables are cheap. If there are too many fake banknotes, the salt is not enough to make ends meet, and the price of banknotes will be depreciated again and again. The fake banknotes can increase, and the salt banknotes can gradually disappear. derogatory……"

"What's the benefit of increasing the false banknotes in the country?" Wang Anshi asked.

Zhang Yueyan said: "Practicing the art of applying for business is the reality of the Legalists, and stripping the interests of those who have vested interests! If the salt money is gradually demoted, the people will not hoard the salt money, but will use the salt money to barter .Like the rich hoarding gold and silver at home and not using it, this is a virtue of frugality, but it is harmful to the country! Guan Zhong said in the past that the hoarder spends more than food and spends money!"

Allowing benign inflation is the prevailing monetary policy.Ordinary people cannot fight against inflation. This is a way to stimulate re-consumption. Only the rich can buy core assets with high thresholds to resist inflation.

The same is true for salt money as currency.

Wang Anshi understood Zhang Yue's meaning when he heard the words. All the officials at that time regarded the fake banknotes as a scourge, and they also strongly encouraged the issuance of fake banknotes like Xue Xiang. Only Zhang Yue explained the advantages and disadvantages of the fake banknotes in a few words.

Unfathomable.This is Wang Anshi's evaluation of Zhang Yuexin.

In terms of the relationship between price and value, he didn't understand why Zhang Yue could say such insightful words?

He remembered that Cai Bian told him Cai Jing's evaluation of Zhang Yue, and used the phrase "the wall of masters".

Wang Anshi was still laughing at that time, Cai Yuan was young and ignorant, but now he slapped himself in the face.

What is "there are only three people in the world"?He, Wang Anshi, still couldn't figure it out, but Zhang Yue believed seriously that he would understand what he said.

I ridicule the other party for being uninformed, but the other party is always full of confidence in me for some reason!

At this moment, Wang Anshi can only sigh deeply, "I don't believe in my studies!"
Wang Anshi could only nod his head slowly.

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Anshi and asked, "My lord, is it feasible for me to set up this exchange office?"

Wang Anshi said: "It is possible!"

Zhang Yue asked with both surprise and joy: "If the prince is in charge in the future, can Jiaoyin be allowed to have a place?"

In fact, Wang Anshi was deeply disappointed with the current boring government, and he had no intention of thinking of the day when he could be the prime minister.But seeing Wang Anshi listening to Zhang Yue's words so sincerely, he suddenly realized that the other party has always admired him so much!
Wang Anshi turned around, no longer looking directly at Zhang Yue, but said: "If there is such a day, I promise you."

Zhang Yue said happily: "Thank you so much, Wang Gong."

Zhang Yue said goodbye to Wang Anshi.

In the end, Zhang Yue said to Wang Anshi: "I have always firmly believed that the prince can help the common people in the world in the future!"

Wang Anshi was startled when he heard the words, and remembered that when he was young and in high school, he had the ambition to change the world. Every time he thought about doing something for the common people, he talked impassionedly with his colleagues, and often couldn't sleep at night.

As an official, he also seeks to "be able to use the power of the official affairs and apply less of what he has learned", to apply what he has learned, and to apply himself to the world!

He is conceited that he has a high talent, except Zhou Gong, Confucius and Mencius, no one in the past and present can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but now his knowledge is not as good as that of a young man who is less than 20 years old.

Now his own temperament has made him repeatedly run into obstacles in his official career. The late emperor didn't appreciate him at all, and he fell out with Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu successively, and he was at odds with the conservative officialdom...

The few years in Bianjing were really the most difficult days in Wang Anshi's life.

I don't know when will I be able to truly 'help the common people in the world'!
Therefore, to Zhang Yue's words, Wang Anshi said silently: "I am ashamed!"

But Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Yue and waved his hands nonchalantly.

……

This is also the first time that Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue have such a long talk, and it is also the first time that Wang Anshi regards Zhang Yue as someone who can talk and discuss together, such as Sima Guang and Lu Gong's works.

But a few days later, Wang Anshi's mother died of illness.

Wang Anshi took care of his mother very filially. Since he was an official, he has repeatedly used his mother to support and transfer him to the court, and he has been at odds with Han Qi.

Wang Anshi was supposed to be the first hall of the Sherenyuan before, and he was likely to be promoted to Hanlin. In order to prevent Wang Anshi from advancing, Han Qi deliberately transferred Zhang Fangping, who was above Wang Anshi in all aspects, back to the first hall of the Sherenyuan, preventing Wang Anshi from making up for it. Hanlin is gone.

At this moment, Wang Anshi simply resigned from office and Ding You returned to Jiangning without any nostalgia for Bianjing.

Wang Anshi remembered that he studied with his father in Jiangning when he was a weak crown, and set up the great ambition of "wanting to have a good relationship with Ji". Now he wants to go back to Jiangning to find his youthful self.

He has made up his mind that he will never be an official again, and he will devote himself to teaching apprentices and writing books at the same time, so as to spread his knowledge!
When Wang Anshi returned to Jiangning, Su Xun wrote "Discrimination of Traitors". Although he didn't name the name, everyone knew that Wang Anshi was being scolded.

Wang Anshi didn't say a word about Su Xun's attack on him. Instead, he wrote two letters to Sima Guang and Wang Tao respectively, praising the benefits of the exchange and hoping that they would not be embarrassed by this matter.

After Zhang Yue, who was in Bianjing, got the support of Han Qi, Cai Xiang, Shen Yu and other ministers, the court of Shangshu proposed to set up a "Jiaoyin Office". Jurisdiction.

This matter caused another discussion in the court, but this time, because of the absence of the objections of Sima Guang and Wang Tao, the leader of the admonisher, there was no major controversy in the end.

In September of the eighth year of Jiayou, the Jiaoyin Office was formally established, and all officials were appointed by Zhang Yuexi.

Zhang Yue got his wish.
