-- "The goods sold by the Liao State to our Great Song Dynasty are not necessities. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info sold to the Liao State in the Great Song Dynasty, but they are all necessary things. ”

Although Wang Anshi was plainly dressed, he was full of energy and his eyes were bright, which added a lot of persuasiveness to his words, and he asked the audience aloud: "Gentlemen, if you are a Liao merchant on the border field, when you sell sheep, horses, and furs to the Song merchants, do you want Song money, or Liao money?"

The students either looked at each other, or discussed each other, all of them were stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Yao Hongyi took a long breath, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Teacher, do you really not persuade you?"

Although he didn't know how these people on the stage learned about these causes and consequences, what this person was telling now was exactly the conclusion that their group of important ministers had reached after several secret discussions in the Wende Palace.

Pang Ji held the cup next to him, drank tea slowly, looked at Wang Anshi on the stage intently, and asked Yao Hongyi: "Isn't what they said the truth?"

"It's a fact, that's why it's ......"

"If it's a fact, why do you want to persuade it?" Pang Ji asked coldly.

Yao Hongyi didn't understand Pang Ji's intention for a while, and his heart was full of thoughts, and he asked in a panic: "That...... Do you want to find out who leaked it?"

"No need," Pang Ji stretched out his finger in the direction of Liu Xin and Wen Yanbo behind him, compared without a trace, leaned on Yao Hongyi's ear, lowered his voice very low, and said, "The only one who is suspicious is the two of them." Although Wen Yanbo is reckless, even if he wants to reveal a thing or two, someone as cautious as Liu Xin will definitely stop it. ”

"So ......"

"The matter of 'lack of money' has been presented in various places, and it is not difficult to know that Sima Guang is an official in the court. ”

Yao Hongyi's heart moved, he suddenly looked sideways at Pang Ji, and said in disbelief: "Teacher, what do you mean...... They, did they deduce this result on their own?"

Pang Ji didn't nod or shake his head, only made a silent gesture.

Yao Hongyi had to listen carefully to the speeches of the people on the stage with suspicion.

Just as the two of them were talking softly, Wang Anshi had already explained the reason for the 'lack of money'.

-- "Ladies and gentlemen, why is it that the Liangzhejiang Road and the Fujian Road are the most 'lacking in money'? ”

-- "Take the Wa Kingdom as an example, its merchant ships passed through the borders of Wenzhou, Taizhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou, and anchored at the end of the sea. The people of the rich along the coast, openly trading with them. There are many curiosities in the cargo ships of the Japanese Kingdom, lacquerware, sulfur, wood, knives, etc., which are worth 100 yuan, and 10 yuan of Song money; The number of consistent, can be easy to buy goods hundreds of things, hundreds of times, can be easy to buy thousands of things. The Japanese merchants carried tens of thousands of dollars in a ship with a tall and deep ship...... Those who enter Tibet do not go to Tibet unless they have copper coins, and the goods that are not sold are not copper coins. ”

……

- "Song Liao's mutual market is just the tip of the iceberg. There were also Western Xia, Dali, Tubo and Hui in the east, and Jiaozhi and Champa in the south...... Even, small countries such as Wa, Goryeo, Cochin, and Champong may not have their own coins. ”

- "The copper coin was originally a treasure of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was used by barbarians from all over the world. The currency minted by the Great Song Dynasty is shared by the surrounding countries, and how can the territory of the Great Song Dynasty not cause a 'lack of money'"

In the end, Wang Anshi concluded: "Confucius said: 'If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die.'" "The rise in prices in Beijing" and "the lack of money in Zhejiang and Fujian" sound incompatible, and if we don't dig into the bottom and think about it, we can't find the inextricable relationship between the two. ”

After speaking, he stood up leisurely and clasped his fists at the audience, which meant that this "interpretation conference" was over.

- "Bang Bang Bang!"

Just when the students pondered and recalled Wang Anshi's explanation, it was Pang Ji who took the lead in clapping.

The applause was particularly evident in the silent venue.

Liu Xin, Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu in the second row behind him naturally hurriedly clapped their hands.

Wang Anshi's remarks were eloquent and reasonable, and everyone admired them very much. The students in the back row applauded.

In the long-lasting applause, only Yao Hongyi was stunned.

"Gonggong, you don't agree?"

Pang Ji noticed his strangeness and raised his eyebrows and asked.

Yao Hongyi took a long time before he said: "The slightest bit is reasonable, reasonable, and the disciple can't disagree." ”

"Why are you silent?"

"Disciple ......" He hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, and confessed: "The disciple has always disapproved of the additional minting of 'rootless coins', if Wang Anshi's remarks are recognized by the world, the matter of additional minting will be a certainty, and there will be no place to maneuver." ”

"Oh......"

Pang Ji snorted meaningfully.

Yao Hongyi was stunned, thinking that he was angry that he was angry that he had expressed his objections in public in the Wende Palace, and said hurriedly: "I should have discussed with my teacher first, but I was really anxious in the palace yesterday, I hope that my teacher will forgive me!"

"Hmm...... The teacher misunderstood, and he didn't mean to blame for being a teacher. On the contrary, it is fortunate that you have refuted it in public. ”

"Teacher, disciple doesn't understand ......"

"As you say, the addition of 'rootless coins' can solve the urgent need, but it is not known what the consequences will be. In case of any catastrophe caused by the increase in casting in the future, if the teacher is attacked by someone who takes the opportunity......"

Yao Hongyi roughly understood what he was going to say, his face changed drastically, and his whole body trembled.

He thought that Pang Ji would blame himself, but he never thought that the other party would think so far-reaching and thoughtful, but he was too narrow-minded, and immediately said with shame and trembling: "It's the disciple who is too superficial...... It's too reckless. ”

Pang Ji patted Yao Hongyi's hand lightly, sighed, and said, "Since you have opposed the matter of increasing casting in public, you can retreat with your whole body." ”

"Teacher!"

"At that point, it's up to you to do that alone. ”

The applause around him gradually fell apart, which made Yao Hongyi feel embarrassed, his heart was sour, and his eyes were slightly red: "Teacher, disciple understands." ”

……

The bluestone paved floor was swept spotlessly.

Between the Biwa Zhu Yong, there are several large tables full of delicacies.

Ouyang Xiu held a small white porcelain plate, put a piece of soybean stuffed duck meat on a food plate on the charcoal basin on the long table, and said to Liu Xin with a comfortable smile: "If it had been earlier, it would have been more comfortable." ”

Wen Yanbo interjected and asked, "Why did Uncle Yong say this?"

Uncle Yong is Ouyang Xiu's cousin, he pointed to the peach trees and apricot trees that had lost their leaves by frost and snow not far away, and said, "Wouldn't it be faster if the shadows of the trees were mottled and the autumn breeze was pleasant, and it was accompanied by fine wine and delicacies?"

Wen Yanbo agreed: "Indeed, indeed!" turned his head and saw that Liu Xin was indifferent and did not say a word, pushed him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. Liu Xin came back to his senses and smiled.

Wen Yanbo has been partnering with him in the editorial department for a long time, and he understands his temperament a little, knowing that he is covering up, and asks curiously: "Although the debate competition cannot be held, this 'interpretation conference' is also ingenious." Obviously, the students are very frustrated, what are you worried about?"

Ouyang Xiu and Liu Xin had been friends for a longer time, and observed that he looked at Pang Ji from time to time, and guessed: "Brother Chong, is it because of Prime Minister Pang Cheng?"
