Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 314 King Yong’s little thoughts

However, if you take a closer look, it doesn't seem to mean that.

Zhuang Xuexue means more like Wang Anshi failed to find the balance between the landlords, squires and ordinary people.

In fact, this is also true. Wang Anshi's New Deal is a bit too extreme. It only cares about the interests of ordinary people and completely abandons the interests of the landlords and gentry.

Some people may think this is nonsense. Isn't the essence of reform just to give some of the resources controlled by a few people to ordinary people to alleviate social conflicts?

In this case, how can it be possible to strike a balance.

In fact, this balance does not mean complete balance, but a blunt knife cutting the flesh, which is commonly known as boiling the frog in warm water.

To put it simply, although the landowners and squires feel pain, it is within their acceptable range.

In this way, too big conflicts will not break out.

The reason why Wang Anshi was impeached this time was not because he allowed the government to lend money to the people and affected the interests of the landlords and gentry.

"pedant!"

However, this policy was not fully implemented due to some small actions of local gentry and landlords.

Wang Anshi implemented the Green Crops Law and ordered the counties under Yuzhou to lend money to the people to buy grain seeds.

In addition, he is basically in Yangzhou City and has never understood the real situation among the people.

In anger, Wang Anshi summoned the county magistrates from the counties under Yuzhou and reprimanded these people.

Landlords and gentry almost all have hidden land. If they are found out, even if the law does not punish them, they will have to pay a lot more taxes in the future.

Although I left Beijing and visited Yangzhou a few years ago, Yangzhou is an important place in the south of the Yangtze River and is also very prosperous.

Sheng Changbai did not pay attention to Sheng Changfeng, but looked thoughtful.

and require them to strictly enforce their policies.

Gu Tingye grew up in Bianjing, and Bianjing was the most prosperous place in the entire Song Dynasty. Naturally, he had never seen the suffering of the people.

He refuted Gu Tingye's point of view because Sheng Changbai's point of view was the same as Gu Tingye's.

Wang Anshi went to Yuzhou at the beginning of this year. After he took office and became familiar with the situation in Yuzhou, it was time for spring plowing.

Even if Wang Anshi is the general magistrate of Yuzhou, there is nothing he can do against them. In anger, he even proposed to measure the land.

Sheng Changfeng thought that Zhuang Xuexue agreed with his point of view, so he glanced at Sheng Changbai with great pride.

It was different when I was studying at Bailudong Academy. Although Bailudong Academy was very famous, it was built on Wulaofeng outside Jiangzhou City.

Because Wang Anshi wrote in his letter.

However, it was of no use. Those officials worked in secret and colluded with the local landlords and gentry.

Gu Tingye stood up and retorted: "Hu Gong once said that serving as an official will benefit the local people. In the past few years when I was studying in Jiangzhou, I saw that the local people were living very hard lives. Is it wrong for Wang Tong to judge that this move will benefit the local people?"

But when the landlords and squires made small moves to resist, he directly flipped the table.

At this time, the landlords and gentry could not sit still at all. This was the key to the outbreak of this conflict.

Others don't know this, but Ang Lee knows it very well.

Only when I take a rest and go out for fun can I truly see how difficult the life of ordinary people is.

Jiangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River. With the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, ordinary people have such a hard life, but what about the people in the north?
Later, he read Fan Daxiangong's article and Gu Tingye liked it very much.

Although he does not have the ideological state of "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness" like Mr. Fan, he admires Mr. Fan very much.

Nowadays, some people follow the example of Mr. Fan and carry out reforms, which makes Gu Tingye admire him very much.

Sheng Changfeng and the others disagreed, and Gu Tingye didn't care, but Zhuang Xueji didn't agree either, and Gu Tingye was very unconvinced. Xuexue Zhuang shook his head slightly, pondered for a while and said: "Nothing in this world is black or white. I am not saying that Wang Tongpan's policies are not good, but that some things are not as simple as you think."

"The words of academics are profound and unpredictable. Please forgive the students for being stupid. I really don't understand something." Gu Tingye said.

"If you don't understand, think about it slowly. I only teach you knowledge. As for the way to be an official, how can a teacher know how to do it?" Zhuang Xueguo shook his head slightly and did not want to say more.

Main hall of Prince Yong's Mansion

King Yong sat at the top, looked at the old man at the bottom left with a friendly look, and said: "This official can still be reinstated. Zhou Shilang is strong. Just wait patiently. He will be used in a big way in the future."

"Your Highness, is there no other way?" Zhou Zhiqing said reluctantly.

At his age, he has basically reached the peak of being a third-grade minister.

However, he was very unwilling to do so. If he were to retire from the position of minister, the most he would do is to be granted the title of prose official by a minister and a doctor named Guanglu.

That's why he took refuge in King Yong, thinking that he would take a further step forward when King Yong ascended the throne.

This time he proposed to the officials to establish a crown prince, and he did a lot of secretly.

The result was good, the officials directly allowed him to become an official, not to mention taking it a step further, and he was not even granted an honorary title.

As for King Yong's hint, he didn't take it to heart at all.

The official family now has no intention of establishing a heir apparent. Even if King Yong wins in the end, who knows how long it will take for him to sit on the throne.

Now I am still somewhat useful. If I wait a few years and I am no longer useful at all, will King Yong still remember who he is at that time?
Not to mention getting back together.

King Yong said, "Shilang Zhou, I have really tried my best."

Zhou Zhiqing felt very regretful when he heard this. He was already old, so why did he get involved in this?

As a result, I didn't get any benefits. Not only did I retire early, I didn't even receive the title of emeritus.

"Your Highness, the government has no intention of establishing a plan now, but I do have a way. If Your Highness is willing to give it a try, it may be possible to get what you want." Zhou Zhiqing said.

"Oh?" King Yong's eyes lit up and he asked, "What can I do?"

"Nowadays, Bianjing is talking about Wang Anshi, and as far as I know, Wang Anshi is half a student of Hai Wenren. Hai Wenren has won the trust of officials, and he has a close relationship with Mr. Han. If His Highness can speak for Wang Anshi, he will definitely win the favor. As long as they are willing to help His Highness, great things can be accomplished," Zhou Zhiqing said.

"Once this king wins over the reformists, the conservative faction in the court will definitely support King Yan." King Yong shook his head and said.

Although the city was not deep, he was not a fool, and he quickly understood what Zhou Zhiqing meant.

The so-called speaking for Wang Anshi is nothing more than agreeing with Wang Anshi's approach and showing favor to the reformists.

This was used to win the support of the reformists.

The reformists also know that now that the official family is old and has no heirs, if they want to implement reforms, they can only place their hope on the new king.

If we do this, we do have a good chance of gaining support from the reformists.

But once you do this, you will definitely offend the conservatives.

Although the reformists in the DPRK have some strength, they are still far behind the conservative faction.

What's more, the officials who support him today are basically conservatives.

If he really wants to do this, regardless of whether he can win over the reformists, the people who support him now will probably abandon him.

"Your Highness only needs to release a signal." Zhou Zhiqing advised.

When King Yong heard this, his heart moved. It was not that he was moved by Zhou Zhiqing, but that Zhou Zhiqing's words gave him an inspiration.
