Prime Minister

Chapter 861
Zhang Yue thought about how he rashly sent a letter to Wang Anshi when he first met him.

This matter is a bit presumptuous, the other party is already a well-known figure in the world, and I am just a student, sending a letter to the other party rashly... There is a ready-made example in later generations.

Guan Peisheng, who had just joined the company, wrote a [-]-word letter to the chairman about the company's strategic planning, but was criticized by the chairman as crazy.

But Zhang Yue believed that Wang Anshi had appreciated his Three Character Classic at that time, and had a preliminary impression of himself, so he wouldn't even read his letter.

Now so many years later...

Wang Anshi dismissed his chancellor, and he was already a scholar of Duanming Palace, and became a servant under the prime minister, so he was finally qualified to discuss state affairs with him.

Zhang Yue said on the spur of the moment, "Only seizing the rich and not giving away the poor is to collect money instead of reform", but he forgot to mention Wang Anshi's pain.

This attack on the government is more evil than cutting people off.

"How to give to the people? It is the ultimate goal to not harm the people, so how to give to the people? The world is so big, there are so many people, and a little money and silk is like cooking flies and mosquitoes with a cauldron of letters and oxen."

The cauldron of Hanniu is a cauldron that can cook a cow. Use such a large cauldron to cook flies.

To put it bluntly, how will the profits obtained from the common people be divided?The country is so big, and there are so many people, how much is distributed to each person?
What you Zhang Yue said is like cracking eggs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and asking the people downstream to drink egg drop soup.

Seeing Wang Anshi's aggressive look, Zhang Yue thought to himself, do you really look like this?

Zhang Yuedao: "This is not what I said. The sage Guanzi Yanzi all talked about helping the people. Guanzi has nine benefits to teach the old, the young, the orphans, the sick, the lonely, the sick, the poor, the poor, and the orphans." .”

What did Jiu Hui say?The state has to take care of the elderly, the raising of children, the care of orphans, the health care of the common people, the problems of finding wives for young people, and the survival of children.

For the people who are trapped in poverty, the state cannot ignore it, and must give relief and work opportunities at the same time, and find ways to get them out of poverty.

All in all, these problems are not the common people's own problems, but must be managed by the state.

Zhang Yue said: "In the past, Qi Jinggong went out and saw the elders who were paying wages and looked hungry and sad. Later, Qi Jinggong was just, forgetting the people for the sake of the top, and forgetting the people after accumulating rich books. This is a big crime. Not only the nine Hui, there is also the famine policy and the education and enlightenment of the people.”

For example, it takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to grow a person comes from Guanzi.

Zhang Yue continued: "Both Guan Zi and Shang Yang are trying to collect money for the country, but one is benefiting the people and the other is mobs, they are not the same. This is taken from the people and used for the people. Of course, it is not about sharing the rain and dew, but giving it to the people." Good governance to help the weak."

"Guan Zhong's government of nine benefits, why did he hinder Duke Huan of Qi from uniting the princes and not using military chariots? Qi State can dominate the princes, and the world can be ruled, so that the people in the world do not wear their left skirts, all under the power of Guan Zhong. The officials secretly thought that if Xianggong can be a little bit If you do this, how can you bear the grievances of the whole world and nine states?"

Zhang Yue heard from Wang Anguo that Wang Anshi would rather bear the grievances of the whole world and nine states alone than let others take the blame. He admired him from the bottom of his heart, but...but...

Zhang Yue said: "My lord, the people are suffering too much. Except for Wenjing, they lived a little better during the Zhenguan period. After thousands of years, they have never had a good life. However, there is a cloud in Guanzi. Knowing honor and disgrace, the country has people like this, so why worry about not being able to flog the barbarians?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue felt that it was useless to say what he said now, and also felt that it was quite boring to say these things at this time, so he bowed and left.

After Zhang Yue left, Wang Anguo stepped out from the side. He shouldn't have eavesdropped. In the past, when Wang Anshi was talking in the study, it was Wang Yu who dared to listen to Wang Anshi chatting with guests in the study so boldly.

But Wang Anguo was curious, so he listened to these few words while Wang Anshi was sending Zhang Yue away from the mansion.

Seeing that Wang Anshi was silent, Wang Anguo looked exhausted.When he was dismissed before, he hadn't seen Wang Anshi showing such fatigue, but after talking with Zhang Yue, he showed fatigue, as if he really aged a few years.

Wang Anshi looked at the sky and thought to himself, adjusting the world, flogging the barbarians does not conflict with taking from the people and using it for the people.

Maybe if I was still in aspect... but now... maybe not possible anymore.

At the end, Wang Anshi wanted to say something to Zhang Yue, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Wang Anguo went to visit Wang Xi's condition.

Wang Yu fell ill because of Zheng Xia's incident. When he saw Wang Anguo, he didn't even drink the medicine and immediately got up and asked, "What did Zhang Duzhi say to Dad?"

Wang Anguo said: "Why do you still think about this when you are sick?"

Wang Yu said: "Uncle, I just let it go. I am not willing to go back to Jiangning to write books like this. If there is no father, how can the world be helped by Lu and Zhang?"

Wang Anguo sighed, and told Wang Yu what he had heard.

After listening to this, Wang Yu said with disdain: "Zhang Duzhi's words seem to be inseparable from 'people-oriented' and inherit the study of "Guanzi". However... this book of "Guanzi" is not written by Guan Zhong, but People of later generations entrusted him with his name. Uncle, don’t be deceived by him.”

Wang Anguo said: "Yuanze, Guan Zi's teaching of nine benefits in governing Qi is not without test. Besides, Yan Zi is in harmony, and he also obeys Guan Zhong's order."

"At the beginning Lu Taigong governed Qi according to the custom, and Guan Zi governed Qi according to the custom. Therefore, there is a saying in the Six Secret Teachings that a man must be engaged in wealth, and if he is not rich, he will not be benevolent. This is all in the same line."

"Furthermore, there are also the Six Policies of Guaranteeing Interests and the teaching of Jiuhui in the Zhou Rites."

Wang Anguo said something, but Wang Yu didn't seem to listen.He suddenly said: "I understand why Du Zhi recommended father as a prime minister? I fully understand."

"Understand what?"

"He wants his father to 'take it from the people' and do things that offend people by accumulating money, but he wants to 'use it for the people' and do things that will benefit the world. This son has sinister intentions."

Wang Anguo couldn't help but said: "Yuan Ze's words are absurd. Back then Zhang Duzhi wrote to his elder brother and talked about the nine benefits and six policies. If he really wanted to, why would he tell your father?"

"You must stop speculating like this."

After saying that, Wang Anguo walked away, but Wang Yu covered his chest, coughed and shook his head: "There must be some reason behind this!"

At this moment, Zhang Yue returned to Zhang's house in a carriage.

He repeatedly thought about the words he had just said to Wang Anshi, and couldn't calm down in his heart.He felt that after Wang Anshi heard his words just now, he seemed a little regretful.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, the alleys were full of carriages and horses. Zhang Yue saw that they were all guests who came to congratulate him.

"Master is here, do you want to get off?" Tang Jiu asked beside him.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Yue rubbed his eyebrows.

However, things have come to this day, but there is room for regret.

Who should handle the matters following the reform?
The bleakness of the prince's mansion and the excitement of his own mansion, Zhang Yue looked at the diametrically opposite scene of the river, and only felt that the road under his feet would be more difficult and more difficult in the future, but he had to continue walking alone...

After sitting in the carriage for a full quarter of an hour, Zhang Yue got up and got out of the carriage. At this moment, he smiled and walked towards the guests...
