Prime Minister

Chapter 587

This day's sutra feast is over.

After Zhang Yue exited the Youying Hall, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Zhang Yue looked back and saw that it was Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Ji Fu!"

Lu Huiqing also smiled and said, "Did you have time?"

Zhang Yue said: "Of course."

Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing walked side by side on the palace road, Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Congratulations, this time you put down the chaos in Zhishantang, the officials and Wang Xianggong appreciate it very much, and plan to add you as an official. That is, he has been promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhang Yue thought to himself that it was too soon for him to be promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Rites after only half a year.

Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "There is another matter, I don't know at all."

Lu Huiqing said in a low voice: "This is Wang Xianggong's recommendation to the officials, and there will be a decree soon."

Zhang Yue changed his mind and said: "Wang Xianggong has clear rewards and punishments, this is the legislative degree."

Lu Huiqing laughed and patted Zhang Yue's shoulder and said, "No wonder Wang Xianggong once said that Duzhi was a smart person, and he really saw through the mystery, but Wang Xianggong also appreciated Duzhi, and you must never forget that." To be mistaken."

Zhang Yue said, "Ji Fu has something to say, he might as well say it clearly."

Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "What do you think of this time, the division of the ordinance has lost the law?"

This is the third article of Wang Anshi's new law after the self-exemption law and the Gongju law - the equal transfer method, which is also the most controversial among the three.

Now the officials let Xue Xiangling lose the Pinghuai thing, give him 500 million guan of hidden money (the emperor's private house money), and 300 million shi of rice as the capital, and then buy and sell on Jianghuai Sixth Road. .

The imperial court operates its own logistics company, selling high and buying low.

Zhang Yuedao: "Junshu method came from Zhou Zhishi, Han Zhiping Zhun, and now Junshu method is even worse, it can be called an extraordinary strategy built by extraordinary people. I know that Jifu seems to have contributed a lot in it Bar."

Lu Huiqing nodded with a smile, this is indeed his proud work: "Duzhi means you agree?"

If you talk about the exemption method, although the tribute method is controversial, the proportion of support and opposition in the court is [-]-[-], and most people still agree.

Zhang Yue knew that Lu Huiqing was sent by Wang Anshi to test his political views.And the other party didn't hide it from himself.

Lu Huiqing is a villain, but a villain has one advantage, that is, he remembers kindness and hatred.As for gentlemen, they don't care so much about kindness and hatred, and this is especially obvious in Su Shi.A gentleman will not change his views on people and things, as well as certain ethics and bottom lines because of interests.

So this is the essence of 'it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain', and 'a gentleman can be bullied'.

Zhang Yue supported Lu Huiqing at the beginning, and let him take up the post of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace.

Now Lu Huiqing almost showed his cards and said to Zhang Yue, your statement is extremely important to your promotion this time, and I need your statement on Wang Anshi's will.

Lu Huiqing's thoroughness is worthy of Zhang Yue's support to him at the beginning.

But Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu is my best friend, so I will not hide what I have to say. This method is commendable. It only works for a while, but it won't last long."

This losing method is Lu Huiqing's proud work, and she couldn't help but blush when she heard Zhang Yue's criticism.

These words are almost the original version of the words of Fan Chunren and Sima Guang who opposed the method of equalization this time.

Lu Huiqing said: "For the sake of it, gather people from all over the world without wealth, and manage the wealth of the world without righteousness. If you manage the talents of the world with righteousness, the work and rest of the transfer must not be uneven."

Zhang Yue said: "Jifu, I know that this move is for the imperial court to seize the right to collect and disperse, so as to prevent the wealthy businessman from taking advantage of public and private needs. I was deeply touched by the order of the Empress Dowager to stabilize the price of salt in the capital."

"At that time, the salt merchants were arrested and tortured, and the price of salt was ordered not to be higher than that. In the end, they couldn't get things done. Why? Because the imperial court can't interfere. The price of a thing depends on the balance of supply and demand. Buying If there are more people, the price will be higher, and if there are fewer buyers, the price will be lower. This is the way, which cannot be violated.”

Lu Huiqing said: "That's exactly why the imperial court set up the method of equal losses. If it is cheap, it is expensive. If it is easy to use, it can not only benefit from it, but also stabilize the price. Why is this a double win? What about the degree of opposition?"

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, the new law should be simple and simple, governing in one, and in chaos. This is both justice and benefit. At first glance, I agree, but there will be many disadvantages in the long run."

"If you say that it is expensive, it is cheap. If it is easy to use it, it will be easy. If it is difficult, it will be easy. The government spends money to compete with merchants, but the merchants have twists and turns. Therefore, if the government does not monopolize the industry, it cannot benefit from it, and if it does not monopolize, the capital will lose."

"This equal-lose method is an act of taking the rich and giving it to the poor. But since ancient times, the rich have never been given away, and the poor and the poor have never been separated. This is why the ministers in the court objected, but they didn't know that the court had to do it for them. Take the rich and give it to the poor, otherwise you will lose the hearts of the people, and sooner or later the world will be in chaos, and the treasury will become increasingly empty. Therefore, to rule the world, you must find the right law."

Lu Huiqing said: "Then I would like to hear your opinion!"

Zhang Yue said: "It's very simple, you can't sacrifice righteousness, and you can't sacrifice righteousness. If the imperial court really wants to manage money from it, then it should set up a market transaction department like the Jiaoyin prison."

"Jiaoyin Prison sets up an Exchange Office, and Shiyi Division sets up a Shiyi Bureau, and it will be operated in a public-private partnership! The imperial court must stay out of the matter."

Lu Huiqing was startled when she heard the words, and then said: "Duzhi's words are reasonable! But I forgot to care about the matter of the Exchange and Reference Office."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Brother Jifu is a busy nobleman, but I'm just a little trick and not worth mentioning."

Lu Huiqing said: "Hey, stones from other mountains can attack jade, and this theory is much better than Fan Chunren and others."

At that moment, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Yue left to meet Wang Anshi.

While the palace was inside, Wang Anshi and Wang Yu listened to Lu Huiqing's words.

Wang Yu said: "Father, Zhang Duzhi's move is really superfluous. The success of the reform depends on the choice of people, not on the situation."

"I can see that Zhang Duzhi is also in favor of the reform, but he doesn't agree with Dad's reform. This person has his own ideas, but he doesn't agree with him."

After listening to Wang Yu's words, Lu Huiqing didn't say much.

Wang Anshi said: "Thousands of people have the same taste of tea, and ten thousand people are of the same way but have different ideas. It is not easy for Zhang Duzhi to be able to do this. Jifu, don't you think so?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Master, I think this son is talented."

Wang Anshi said: "It doesn't matter if the same people disagree, at least he is ten times better than Fan Yaofu. If it is possible, everyone can come together. It would be better if there are more people in the court who can make suggestions for the new law."

"Jifu, you can associate with him more, he will be used by us in the future. The old man can wait for him to turn around."

In September of the second year of Xining.

The imperial court used Xue Xiang to set up the game as an equal loss method, which was opposed by Sima Guang, Fan Chunren, Su Zhe and other officials.

However, the imperial court was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites of Zhang Yue, but he resigned.
