Chapter 139
Zhang Fuzhong!
New Party officials gathered, each with a serious face looking at the three reforms in front of them.

New law!

One whip!
Spread the labor into the mu!

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor, lives up to his reputation!" Zeng Bu sighed in admiration.

He was relegated to other places these years, and he only heard that in Kaifeng City, Fan Zhongyan later determined to become a forensic doctor, but he didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, the medical school is just one of the hundreds of inconspicuous schools in the Song Dynasty. Even if there are reforms, they will not help the court much. However, when they met for the first time today, Fan Zheng gave them a huge shock.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "The new law can no longer be used! After all, the reputation of the new law is already bad among the people!"

Wang Di on the side looked embarrassed. He admired his grandfather's Xining reform very much, thinking that after the official family took charge, the introduction of the new law would definitely revive the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the new party has already decided to abandon the new law before the reform has begun.If the Song Dynasty does not use the new law, then his reputation as the grandson of Wang Anshi will probably be greatly reduced.

At that moment Wang Di sneered and said, "The evil doctor Fan Zheng is indeed talented, but is he not selfish?"

"Selfishness?" Zeng Buzhang Dun couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Wang Di in confusion.

Wang Di said proudly: "As we all know, what Fan Zheng really wants to implement must be the Chinese policy of spreading labor into the mu."

Zhang Dun nodded, it's not just Fan Zheng, even he is aspiring to work as a laborer, but he doesn't know what kind of demeanor it is to be called the best policy by Fan Zheng
Wang Di didn't know what Zhang Dun was thinking, and continued: "It is rumored that doctors are going to recruit folk bell doctors in the Song Dynasty. These bell doctors walk around the streets, and they are people with little or no land. Taxes, and the object of taxation is the land, so the Ling doctors who have little land and no land hardly need to pay taxes, and this policy is of great benefit to the doctors.”

The two of them were taken aback, and after careful consideration, they couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing. They had just come into contact with the labor service as a treasure, but they didn't realize that there was such a relationship.

"What an evil doctor, Fan Zheng, actually used us as a weapon!" Zeng Bu shook his head and laughed.

"We can't hide our flaws! Even if Fan Zheng's move is selfish, it's still a good idea to pay for his mother!" Zhang Dun still didn't change his appreciation for working for his mother.

Wang Di's heart sank, and he changed his words: "Master Zhang misunderstood, what the students mean is that any implementation of the new law will be subject to controversy, even if it is a labor service. Since Fan Zheng uses us as gunmen, we Why not use Fan Zheng to block the gun."

"Use Fan Zheng to block the gun?" Zhang Dun thought for a moment, and suddenly understood what Wang Di meant.

"You mean to tell the purpose of throwing Fan Zheng out of the labor service to attract the wrath of all the court officials!"

When Zhang Dun implemented the new law, he naturally knew that whether it was the new law, the one-whip law, or the servitude to the mu, it was all money from the rich, especially the servitude to the mu was even more ruthless, directly using the land as the basis of taxation, which not only greatly reduced the The possibility of landlords evading taxes has also severely peeled off a layer of flesh from the rich.

And the family with the most land in the world is the family behind the officials of the imperial court. Once they throw out the servitude to the mu, there will be a lot of enthusiasm.

If they take advantage of the trend to push away the evil doctor Fan Zheng and bluntly say that this is Fan Zheng's evil prescription for the sake of the doctor, wouldn't it divert the anger of all the officials in the court.

"That's right! Since Fan Zheng wants the medical practitioners in the world to be exempted from military service, how can he not pay the price." Zeng Bu also laughed and said, with the evil doctor Fan Zheng attracting firepower, their implementation of the new law will greatly reduce the resistance.

Wang Di was secretly delighted. Once the New Party pushes Fan Zheng to block the gun, Fan Zheng will definitely be hated by the court and will be attacked by a group of officials, but he can take advantage of the trend.

One of the two is after Fan Zhongyan, the leader of the first-generation reform, and the other is after Wang Anshi, the leader of the second-generation reform. Naturally, they are competing in secret.

Inside the vertical arch hall, the atmosphere is weird.

After a lapse of several years, the new party and the old party reunited.

"Specially entrust Zeng Bu as a privy envoy, and Zhang Dun as a political adviser!" As soon as Zhao Xu came to court, he entrusted them with important tasks.

"The ministers are waiting to thank the officials!" Zhang Dun and his wife bowed to accept their orders.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Fan Chunren was filled with emotion. When the new party enters the government, the new law must be implemented again, and the dispute between the government and China will resume.

Sure enough, as soon as the two were appointed, Zeng Bu couldn't wait to say: "Now the Song Dynasty is poor and weak, and has been repeatedly humiliated by the Liaoxia. The ministers and others implore the officials to reform again, restart the Fangtian Average Tax Law, the Exemption Law and other new laws, and make the country rich and strong." people, revitalize the Great Song Dynasty.”

Lu Dafang frowned when he heard the words, and immediately retorted: "It is absolutely impossible to report to the officials. The new law has been implemented for 16 years during Shenzong's time. The people's grievances are overwhelming, and it is not beneficial to the country. Restarting the new law will not only fail to revitalize the Song Dynasty, but may repeat the same mistakes. "

A group of ministers from the old party also came forward to enumerate the harm of the new law.

"Zeng Aiqing, the people of the new law have criticized it a lot, which shows that it has many deficiencies and needs to be cautious."

Zhao Xu was greatly moved when he heard the words, and immediately dismissed Zeng Bu's advice.

Zeng Bu withdrew sadly.

"The officials are wise!"

A group of people from the old party cheered. They were worried at first, thinking that the officials would be inclined to the new law, but now they saw that the officials did not break their promises and did not fully believe in the new party.

"There are deficiencies in the new law, and the ministers have noticed it, so I will offer a good law again."

Afterwards, Wang Di, the grandson of Wang Anshi, went up to ask for a whip method!
"One whip!"

The face of the old party couldn't help but change again, they didn't expect the members of the new party to be so difficult to deal with, and the new law failed, and they even introduced another whip method.

However, when they learned about the One Whip, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The One Whip was born out of the Two Taxes Law in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the new law, it was more perfect and easy to implement.

However, with the lessons learned from the two tax laws, everyone in the old party quickly picked out a drawback of the whipping law, and wrote letters to state the drawbacks.

Zhao Xu looked hesitant, and in the end he still obeyed the old party's words and rejected a whip again.

"The officials are wise!"

The old party cheered, but the neutral faction and the ministers who were close to the reform showed hesitation. After all, based on their knowledge, a whip is indeed a good strategy, and it would be a pity to be abolished like this.

"I think a whip method is quite desirable."

Su Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and just spoke for a whip method, he was jointly attacked by the old party, and finally nothing happened.

Fan Zheng was in the row behind all the officials. He couldn't help but chuckle secretly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Zhao Xu and members of the new party to put on a show together to deceive the old party.

The old party has repeatedly rejected the implementation of the new law, and the one whip law. If it rejects the contribution of labor to the mother, I am afraid it will never be justified.

Seeing the embarrassment of everyone in the New Party, Zhang Dun finally said: "Since the new law and the one-whip judge are not satisfied, I have another policy, which is to spread the labor to the mother!"

The old party couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that after refuting the new party's two reforms in a row, Zhang Dun would come up with a new law on the taxation of the mothers.

However, when they really understood the strategy of enlisting labor into the mother, their expressions changed immediately, and they looked at Zhang Dun in disbelief.

"It's so ruthless to spread the labor into the mu!"

Lu Dafang was shocked. The biggest criticism of the immunity law is that it treats people equally. Whether it is poor people, monks and nuns, or high-ranking officials, they all need to pay the exemption money. This gives the old party a chance to manipulate and try their best to slander the new law.

And the apportionment into the mu directly changes the exemption money from money to food, from people to fields. In this way, those with more land will pay more, those with less land will pay less, and those who have no land will not pay!Naturally, there are few rich people and many poor people in the world, and which one of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty has thousands of acres of fertile land? Doesn't that mean that the exemption money that was originally borne by the poor has been transferred to them who have land.

"It's hit!"

Just as Lu Dafang was about to object, he suddenly felt alarmed. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the new law and the one-whip law must be the bait thrown by the new party, and the servitude to the mother is their trump card.

It's a pity that he has already refuted the new law and the one-whip law in succession. If he opposes the contribution of labor to the mu, I'm afraid he will completely hate the officials.

At that moment, Lu Dafang signaled slightly, and Yang Wei, the censor, gritted his teeth: "Think twice, officials! Our Great Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. Once the servile is paid, the scholar-bureaucrats with land must bear the taxes of the people without land. Shake the country!"

Other members of the old party also spoke up!I want to abolish the apportionment into the mu.

Zhao Xu said with embarrassment: "Your loves oppose the new law, and I will follow it. I oppose a whip, and I will follow it. Now there is a good plan to distribute labor to the mother, and your loves still oppose it. If this is the case, can you be revived?" The law of the Song Dynasty! I will listen with all my ears!"

Faced with Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, the old party all remained silent.

When Fan Chunren saw this, how could he not understand the officials' thoughts.

As soon as the stall servants come out of the mu, there will be boiling in the wild!And the position of prime minister will definitely become a powder keg, and he will immediately step out and resign as prime minister again.

Zhao Xu tried to persuade him to stay again, but everyone knew that Gu Li said three words and three concessions, and when Fan Chunren resigned as Prime Minister for the third time, Zhao Xu would definitely agree.
