King of Song

Chapter 143
When Lin Zhao and the others returned to Meng's house at noon, Meng Ruoying clearly noticed the change in Mu Sihong.

Although she is just a girl who has not left the cabinet, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything. She still knows more or less about her daughter's family.

Compared with the past, Mu Sihong's pale complexion looked more rosy, and there was a lot more charming between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was more charming.

In addition, the two of them didn't return all night last night, so it's self-evident what happened.Mu Sihong was so guarded that the clouds opened and the moon was shining. At this moment, Meng Ruoying felt a little shy and envious, and also a little bit disappointed.What made him even more sad was that Lin Zhao actually wanted to move.

Although Lin Zhao and the Meng family are so close that they can hardly be separated from each other, at least for now they are still different.There was nothing wrong with living in Meng's house by myself before, but now with Mu Sihong, the situation is different.

It's a little inappropriate to have a daughter-in-law and live in someone else's mansion.What's more, Lin Zhao is now the magistrate of Qiantang County, so the back house of the Qiantang County Yamen is naturally his proper residence.As the first hostess, Mu Sihong moved there first.

Meng Ruoying was only slightly saddened by this, and it was not easy to object, and it seemed a little unfair to follow the past, so she had to give up.Fortunately, Hangzhou still has a lot of business to deal with, especially cotton, wine making, and tea. These must be discussed with Lin Zhaoduo, and there are many opportunities to contact each other.

Lin Zhao brought Mu Sihong into the county government office, and soon everyone in Hangzhou became known.Think about the people coming and going on the flower boat in the past few days, the young princes and buddies competed to show their courtesy one by one, and in the end it was Lin Zhao who embraced the beauty.

In this regard, the romantic scholars in Hangzhou city can only sigh, helpless!Who is Lin Zhao?Maybe they could stand side by side in the past, and even have a sense of superiority, but now... they can only exist like a mountain looking up.

In terms of literary excellence, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Shi; in terms of status, he is now the head of a county; in terms of achievements, he is the first to put down a rebellion.Lin Zhao is young and promising, and he is a rare young hero. He and Mu Sihong can also be regarded as talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.A group of wishful thinking sons and buddies can only hate Yuekong, and the lakeside is very emotional.

After dealing with some business, and achieving positive results with Mu Sihong, Lin Zhao spent this period of time quite gracefully.However, the holidays are always so short. When the emperor's imperial decree was sent to Hangzhou, the busyness began again.

Lin Zhao and Cai Jing were summoned to the Hangzhou prefecture together. Mr. Zhao Bian, the magistrate of the state, and Su Shi, the general judge, seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Dongyang, Yuan Chang, you are here!" Su Shi greeted Yisheng.

Lin Zhao and Cai Jing couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged glances, feeling a little more dignified in their hearts.Walking into the room, Su Shi said: "The imperial decree from the official family has arrived!"

"Oh? I don't know what the holy will is?" Lin Zhao and Cai Jing finally understood, no wonder they were so dignified.It's just that the matter of the Hangzhou rebellion has been resolved, so what can the imperial decree say?Why are you so nervous?Could it be that something major happened again?
Zhizhou Zhao Yan said leisurely: "Together with me is the official letter from the Department of Regulations of the Three Divisions. The imperial court is going to try out the Young Crop Law!"

Young crop method?
Both Lin Zhao and Cai Jing were excited and excited, but the reasons were slightly different.The famous young crop method in history is about to be tried, and Lin Zhao is excited to finally have the opportunity to experience it personally and feel it personally.

Cai Jing heard the wind when he was in Bianjing, and he was full of hope and interested in it.Of course, this may be a normal behavior of all young students who support reform.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yan's expression was slightly unnatural, and he said: "The imperial court has selected a few places for trial, Jingdong Road, Henan Road, Huainan Road, and two counties on Liangzhe Road..."

"Uh..." Lin Zhao and Cai Jing naturally felt the unusual meaning in Mrs. Zhao's words.

Zhao Bian said: "Qiantang County and Yuhang County are the ones who tried out the young crop method on Liangzhe Road!"

Zhao Zhizhou was not very excited about this, and even looked a little sad.After all, he is a relatively conservative official, and it is understandable that he is unwilling to take the lead in contacting the new law.

Now let the young crop method be tried under his rule, the situation is not optimistic!The two county magistrates under him were particularly in favor of the new law, and even spared no effort to support it, and let them take the lead in trying it out. I am afraid that there will be many moths in the future, and there may be endless troubles.

What's more, these two county magistrates are not ordinary people. Lin Dongyang, a man of the hour, and Cai Yuanchang, a new champion, are not easy to mess with or manage.Is Zhao Yan in a good mood?Su Shi's interest in passing the sentence was not very high. Everyone knew that this was a hot potato.

These two have already been well-mannered, if it was someone else, they would write a letter to refute, or make other excuses and not cooperate.

Zhao Yan said: "I will leave this matter to you for specific implementation, and I will cooperate with you."

"Yes!"

Cai Jing was very excited. He had just been admitted as the No. [-] scholar and had such a good opportunity when he was sent out to work, which fully showed that the officials and Wang Xianggong valued him very much.If done well, the future is boundless!Especially the new method that I like more and is full of hope!

In an instant, Cai Jing had already started to think about how to promote it, how to benefit the people, how to have enough food and clothing, and how to make outstanding achievements in his own political affairs!
Lin Zhao was also excited, but not to Cai Jing's level at all.After all, the more than one year of experience has allowed him to see a lot and understand a lot of truths. In comparison, he is much calmer and more mature than Cai Jing.

He understood that the reason why Emperor Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi chose Qiantang and Yuhang counties was obvious. They hoped that the two of them could make achievements and be a typical success case, so as to block the public and make the new law be implemented smoothly.

The vision of the emperor and the prime minister is very beautiful, and Lin Zhao is also looking forward to it.However, he will not be blind. He has a little understanding of Wang Anshi's reform in the history class of his previous life. A reform that ultimately fails, in addition to external objective unfavorable factors, often has many problems in itself.

In this life, Lin Zhao would like to experience it personally if he had the opportunity to meet it in person, to see what Wang Anshi's reform was like.If any problems are found, can we learn from the knowledge of later generations and make improvements to promote its success?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao regretted why he didn't learn more about history and read more books in his previous life.If you read a few books written by historians commenting on Wang Anshi's reform, you will undoubtedly have the confidence to speak out. Now I have to cross the river by feeling the stones and groping slowly!

This is a crucial reform for future generations. Lin Zhao wants to do his part, at least he thinks so now!
Zhao Yan could probably guess what they were thinking, and said: "The trial implementation of the Young Crop Law is a top priority, but you should not rush the implementation process, you need to implement it carefully and orderly!" This is a reminder from a senior and a superior.

Su Shi also said: "Haste makes waste, you must bear in mind!" Presumably the two superior officials in the frontier had the same worries!
"Yes, follow the teachings of the two adults!"

Walking out of the state government office, Lin Zhao took a long, deep breath, and when he looked up, he saw swan geese flying by in the blue sky and white clouds.

In the autumn of the second year of Xining, Wang Anshi's reform finally started. Where will it lead the Song Dynasty?Lin Zhao was also thinking, what can he do in it?What role will it play in it?
