Chapter 308: Seedlings Method

He knew Zhao Xu's mind very well, this little emperor of the same age as him was not psychologically mature after all. He believes that all the old party officials are wrong and must be swept away, but this is not the case.

Even the old party has some officials who are sincere about the country, but there are many speculators in the new party, who want to take advantage of the shareholder wind of the new deal to rise to the sky. Zhao Xu swept away too many old party officials, and overturned a boatload of people with one rod, resulting in a situation where no one was available.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is anything smooth sailing in this world?" Ji Yang said.

"I don't know, I haven't met one." Zhao Xu said.

"There is no calm sea and river in this world, and every ship has to experience wind and waves, or take advantage of the wind and waves. And the old party is like this storm, if you get rid of them all, it is tantamount to turning the court into a pool of stagnant water. Ji Yang said.

As if he was drinking on the head, Zhao Xu's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly understood what he was wrong. He pondered and was extremely frightened, how to find out the problems of the new deal without the old party's doubts, and how to crack down on those speculators without the old party's suppression.

Modern people know that human beings need competition, and monopoly is never a good thing for ordinary people.

"I heard that Zhang Xiang and others want you to chase down Sima Guang, Lu Gong and others, and also abolish the Empress Dowager Xuanren." Ji Yang said again.

"Yes, it does." Zhao Xu became serious, he felt that Ji Yang was proficient in the affairs of the court, and he was by no means a simple martial artist.

"This matter must not be done, everyone knows that the dead are great, and this move is against humanity and will be criticized by the world." Ji Yang said that Sima Guang, Lu Gong and Empress Dowager Gao and others were all the backbones of the old party in the past. Zhang Dian was once demoted to other places by the old party, and he had great malice towards the old party, so after solving Su Zhe and becoming prime minister, he immediately focused on cracking down on the old party, and even the dead people were not spared.

"I know, so I haven't made up my mind, even if you say so, it seems that this matter can only be stopped." Zhao Xu nodded, after listening to Ji Yang's words, he couldn't help but doubt Zhang Dan's purpose in doing this: "Master Ji, why do you say that Zhang Xiang is so persistent in chasing down Sima Guang and others?" ”

"The emperor doesn't have to be suspicious, Zhang Xiang is just upright, so he wants to knock out the old party at once. Zhang Xiang's original intention is good, but the emperor should have heard the four words that are just over easy to fold, so sometimes, you can use Huairou's policy to appease you. Ji Yang said.

"It makes sense, I didn't expect Master Ji to have such insight into major affairs in the DPRK and China." Zhao Xu used to just appreciate Ji Yang's cultivation and character, but at this time, he had admiration for his words. An idea popped up in his heart: Ji Yang cultivated extremely high at a young age, and he was not greedy for utilitarianism, and he had such far-reaching insights, it would be too condescending to be the head of the chief coach of the Great Internal Guard.

"It's just a humble opinion, if the emperor lacks a minister, he thinks Su Shi is very suitable. I can lend Ding Chunqiu and You Tanzhi to him, and I think I can do a good job with Su Shi's means. Ji Yang said.

"Su Shi, but I have demoted him from the capital, and he is still the head of the old party, I am afraid that he will not do things for me wholeheartedly." Zhao Xu hesitated, Su Shi is Su Zhe's elder brother, and he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites before.

After the death of Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu wanted to implement a new policy, and Su Shi was the first to stand up against it, so he quickly stepped down. Of course, it's not that Su Shi is a bad person, it's just that he only saw the disadvantages of the New Deal back then, but he didn't see the benefits, and he was relatively conservative.

Although Su Shi opposed the new policy, what the minister had to do was not to implement the new policy, but to rectify corrupt officials and local gentry. Su Shi is a man of temperament, thinking that when he sees the people suffering, he must be unbearable, and he will not do things wholeheartedly. Ji Yang said with a smile.

"Wonderful!" Zhao Xu's eyes lit up,

"With Su Shi's ability, plus my subordinates Ding Chunqiu and You Tanzhi, he is definitely worthy of this minister. In addition, I hope that the emperor will appease some loyal people in the old party as appropriate, instead of blindly attacking. Ji Yang persuaded: "If there is no wind and waves at all, how to sail, even those officials who oppose the new policy, as long as they are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they use it well, it will be a big help." ”

"Master Ji's words made me suddenly, okay, I will summon Su Shi back tomorrow and let him be the minister of the Qin Mission. As for the loyal and righteous people in the old party, I will also take a good look at them and call them as appropriate. Zhao Xu said, and then he showed embarrassment: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiang and others will try their best to oppose it, which will have an impact on the promotion of the new deal." ”

"What's the matter, the emperor only needs to explain to Zhang Xiang that it is powerful, I believe that Zhang Xiang is not a stupid person. The emperor is young, so he should discuss more with the old ministers of the court, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Ji Yang spoke more bluntly.

"I understand." Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed, he really felt ashamed, how could the emperor explain to the courtiers. However, hearing Ji Yang say this, Zhao Xu also felt that he should explain, and he comforted himself: being humble and studious, and being approachable is also a virtue.

Then the two chatted about the new deal, and Ji Yang knew something about the Qingmiao Law, the Armor Protection Law and the Immunization Law. I believe everyone knows that the Seedlings Law is a loan that the state issues as collateral on behalf of the local gentry.

That is, when the harvest is not harvested every year, the government will take loans from the peasants, and then repay them together with the principal and interest after the autumn. The interest rate set is two cents, which is much lower than that of the local gentry, which can save the people from being exploited by the local gentry, and can also increase the state's fiscal revenue, benefiting the country and the people.

However, as Ji Yang said before, the intention of this new law is good, but the implementation process has been distorted by some corrupt officials. For the sake of merit, they forcibly apportioned the green seedlings to the people, and privately increased the interest, which was more than that of the gentry. If the people did not do so, the local officials used violence and coercion, and their methods were even more cruel and brutal.

Therefore, during the period of Song Weizong and Song Zhezong's reform, they both caused public resentment and finally ended in failure. If it weren't for Ji Yang's reminder, I'm afraid Zhao Xu would still be deposited in the merits falsely reported by local officials, thinking that the Qingmiao Law was implemented very well.

"In addition to making good use of the loyal people in the old party, the new party may not all be good officials, there are many opportunistic people, and there are some wall grass. If the emperor wants to successfully change the law, he must know how to use people, and not listen to the one-sided words of others. Ji Yang said.

"Knowing people and employing people is easy to know and difficult to do." Zhao Xu sighed.

The reason why Ji Yang knew the character of those officials was because he read the historical records and knew what the result was. But Zhao Xu didn't know that although he was very smart, it was difficult to see the thoughts of the officials of the imperial court.

"Just put your mind to it." Ji Yang smiled.

Zhao Xu saw that he smiled so indifferently, and his words were not aimed at someone or a certain faction, and he was completely thinking about the promotion of the new deal. This attitude of not seeking fame and fortune made Zhao Xu appreciate it very much, and Zhang Dan, Lu Huiqing and others flashed in his mind, and they didn't seem to be able to compare with Ji Yang.

Although those people are capable and loyal to the country, they have some personal feelings. And Ji Yang didn't care about those at all, everything he analyzed didn't have the slightest intention of seeking fame and fortune.

But the more Ji Yang was like this, the more Zhao Xu admired him, and couldn't help but say: "Master Ji, I think you are not only the best in cultivation, but also far-reaching, I wonder if you are interested in serving the country?" ”

Ji Yang shook his head and said: "With the ability of Zhang Xiang and others, coupled with the emperor's knowledge of people and employing people, it is enough to successfully promote the new policy. If I get involved now, it will be a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, and it will not be conducive to the promotion of the New Deal. ”

Zhao Xu thought about it, if Ji Yang got involved now, what kind of official would he give him? If you give it low, it doesn't meet Ji Yang's ability, and if you give it high, you are afraid that Zhang Duan and others will be dissatisfied, after all, Ji Yang is still so young.

"Although I am not in politics, if the emperor has any problems, I can also try my best to help solve them. It's like attacking Western Xia, I hope the emperor can give me some power and let me participate in it, I want to take Qinglu's family back with my own hands. Ji Yang said that it was impossible for him to ignore Li Qinglu, and going to pick up her family in person could ensure safety.

In addition, Ji Yang trained a super special team, which happened to be pulled out for actual combat and absorb some combat experience. Come to think of it, in this era where there are only cold weapons, they can play a big role, especially abilities such as mental scanning.

"You want to lead the troops?" Zhao Xu was happy in his heart, if a master like Ji Yang led the troops, which general in Western Xia could beat him. As for the issue of the art of war, it is necessary to send a military advisor or adjutant general who is good at using the art of war to assist him at that time.

"That's not necessary, I can be a military advisor and go out with the army." Ji Yang said.

"Strategist, could it be that the head of the Ji family is still proficient in the art of war?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

"I know a little bit about it, anyway, I am not the only military advisor in the army, I only need one identity." Ji Yang didn't say anything.

"That's right, that's it." Zhao Xu smiled, and then showed a sad look: "But the top priority is to wait for Agui to come back and see if the promotion of the new deal is as you said, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are obstructing it." If this is the case, I will summon Su Shi back and order him to bring people to various places to deal with this problem. When the new policy is implemented and stabilized, then troops will be sent to attack Western Xia. ”

"It's a great move." Ji Yang smiled. To be continued.
