Shi Jie's verdict didn't wait until after the Lantern Festival tomorrow, and a letter of appointment from Puzhou was delivered to Shi's family in the afternoon, and this matter came too quickly, and Fan Zhongyan didn't even have time to react.

"Shoudao, you tell us a few truths, did you write that letter?"

Shi Jie hugged his head painfully and said: "The handwriting is mine, but the letter is indeed not written by me, now His Royal Highness King Yong is more than two years old, how can I have such a thought, and besides, as long as the brain is not rusty in the current environment, who will do this." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "I also don't believe that Shoudao and Yan will have this kind of mind, a pair of hands that have done this kind of thing in history can be counted, Huo Guang, Cao Cao, who is not the one who has the power to the world, is not easy to abolish the new monarch, it's not that I look down on Shi Jie and Fu Bi, they don't have this kind of opportunity in their lives." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "The holy decree of Puzhou outside the Shoudao has come down, no one can change this situation, I now suspect that someone imitated the handwriting of Shoudao, if he can still imitate the handwriting of a few of us, have you ever thought about the consequences." ”

Du Yan denied: "This kind of obscene means can be played once, and the emperor will inevitably suspect it twice, we don't have to worry about this, now that we think about it, we lost our sense of proportion in a panic at the court meeting, otherwise we should bring out the letter." ”

Han Qi said: "It doesn't make sense to bring it out or not, the emperor already believes that this matter is true from the bottom of his heart, and no matter how much he quibbles, the emperor will be disgusted with us." ”

At this point, everyone knows that there is no possibility of a reversal, and if there are no accidents in everyone's political career, it will be over, and maybe the state capital will be released, but they will not be able to enter the center in their lives.

I know that this day may come back sooner or later, but people's hearts are like this, they will always look forward to a miracle, if Su Shunqin's exit is a small wave, Shi Jie's exit means that the change has completely failed.

"Hanzhang, haven't you ever thought about turning the tide alone? Brother believes you have this ability. ”

Fan Chunyou came to the door alone without telling his father to hear the opinion of this great Song demon, he is the eldest son of Fan Zhongyan, he has followed his father for ten years, everything Fan Zhongyan has done has not hidden anything from him, he knows what the failure of the change means to his father, and he doesn't want this mighty change to end.

Lu Zifei was stunned when he heard the news, the Qingli reform still lasted for a year, and he didn't increase the time because of his arrival, can he change anything by himself?

"Brother Shi, you also look up to the little brother too much, this matter is a foregone conclusion, the little brother means don't make trouble again, the overall situation Brother Shi understands better than the younger brother, now what we can do is to follow the trend."

Fan Chunyou still asked unwillingly, "Is there really no hope?" ”

"Does Brother Shi want to keep Mr. Shoudao or the fruit of the Fa change? If you want to protect Mr. Shoudao, this is not difficult, the younger brother is cheeky to beg the emperor, maybe it will work, but if you want to protect the fruit of the law, no matter how many people there are, they will be crushed, this brother knows better than me. ”

Fan Chunyou, who has always been shocked and confident, instantly lost his spirit, and the change was the crystallization of his father's lifelong thoughts, and he was really sorry for his father's countless days of getting up early and being greedy for darkness with such a result.

"Hanzhang, what do you say the emperor is thinking, he is the one who asks to change the law, and he is the one who doesn't want to change the law, so can anyone do what he wants?"

Lu Zifei said slowly: "Fan Xiang is the person I admire the most, and the world brother knows the things in the military camp the most, but for the little brother who changes the law, he can say a few words casually, and the world brother will also listen to it casually." ”

Fan Chunyou said: "Listen to my brother"

"Brother Shi just said that it is the emperor who asks for the change of the law and gives up the change, and this is the case, what is the reason, because the emperor is afraid, take the matter of the court this morning, I am 100% sure that the letter was forged by someone else,

Brother Shi thinks that the emperor will not know? The emperor must know that the letter is fake, but he is still afraid, he has no sense of security in his heart, this has a certain relationship with the emperor's childhood experience, does the younger brother feel that what the younger brother said makes sense? ”

Fan Chunyou nodded solemnly, and Lu Zifei continued: "Fan Xiang has actually been corresponding, and I have also admonished, Fan Xiang didn't listen to me, Brother Shi knows how difficult it is to be an official to do their level, and how difficult it is to change a person's mind." ”

"Hanzhang, tell me about my brother, what do you think, I haven't understood what you have done since you came back from the northwest."

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "I have nothing to do today, our brothers have a good chat, brother, you first tell me what your views are on changing the law and reform." ”

Fan Chunyou said: "Of course, changing the law is to cancel some bad national policies and make the weak national strength stronger, what does this say, do you have a different opinion?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Of course, in my opinion, changing the law is to change the class contradiction, and the class contradiction in the Great Song Dynasty is the contradiction between scholars and peasant households, and to put it bluntly, it is the problem of land annexation." ”

Fan Chunyou is still thinking about what class means, I haven't heard this word before, but after savoring it, it is indeed very pertinently described, class contradictions, it is really good.

"Hanzhang, do you have any good solutions to the problem of land annexation? My father sighed many times in the middle of the night about this problem that God could not solve. ”

Lu Zifei said: "No one can solve the land annexation, it can only be prevented by rules and systems, unless you change the system of the current imperial court, I don't think you and I have the ability." ”

Fan Chunyou asked casually, "Then Hanzhang, what are you starting with business for, money can change a small number of people, most people still can't change, and no matter how much money you have, it won't help." ”

"That's because there is too little money, and when you have so much money in your hands that quantitative change causes qualitative change, you will find that the role of money is infinite."

Fan Chunyou said: "No matter how much money you have, will it be more than the money in the treasury?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "I don't know how much money is in the treasury, the rat can starve to death if he goes in, money can't change the land annexation, but we can change the value of the land through money, and let the land depreciate This is what I'm doing now." ”

This succession of new words made Fan Chunyou a little overwhelmed, and Lu Zifei's thinking jumped a lot, as a real ancient, Fan Chunyou needed to slowly consider what Lu Zifei said.

"Have you considered the consequences of land devaluation? The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the people still suffer losses in the past! ”

"Then brother, you never thought that at least the common people can eat their stomachs, and they have to eat one bite at a time, and they can't eat a fat man, the role of land has declined, the price of grain has fallen, and the peasants have their stomachs full, and then we will go through macroeconomic regulation and control, and even the state will pay to subsidize the peasant households, and then the class contradiction of land annexation will be truly solved."

This time, Fan Chunyou listened very clearly, and he said: "Even if what you said is realized, but you have thought about how much interest you need to make up for it without the scholar class, and the whole Song Dynasty is not enough!" ”

Lu Zifei pointed to the simple map behind him and said, "The Great Song Dynasty is not enough, there are other places!" Da Song couldn't satisfy their appetite, and there were countless places like Da Song waiting for them. ”

Fan Chunyou suddenly thought of what Lu Zifei did when he went to sea for thousands of years, and he understood that the huge amount of wealth overseas was a firework released by Lu Zifei, which was used to stimulate those families, and it was really a ring after a ring, compared to his father's straightforwardness, Lu Zifei did less, more to guide, and let them jump into it by themselves.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! Hanzhang, you really taught a lesson to my brother today, although there are some things that I can't understand for the time being, but I found that your layout is too long-term, aren't you afraid of failure? ”

Lu Zifei said: "I'm afraid! How can you not be afraid, it is because I am afraid that I have pretended to be a grandson for so long, otherwise I would have hammered those scourges to death with one punch, and I would have been a good man. ”

This is a bit childish, Fan Chunyou said with a smile: "Sure enough, there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, talking with Hanzhang today has made me gain a lot for my brother, and we will move around more if it is okay in the future." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Brother Liao, is this time leaving?" Little brother, there is a more interesting thing you want to leave to the world brother to do? Do you want to accept the challenge of the younger brother? ”

Fan Chunyou had no idea of becoming an official in the court, but he was still very interested in Lu Zifei's proposal.

"Let's be clear first, I'm not an official, but the rest is okay."

Lu Zifei said: "It has nothing to do with being an official, it's not that the younger brother is talking big, if this matter is done well, maybe the emperor will beg you for something, and the future generations will not necessarily be worse than Fan in terms of reputation." ”

Fan Chunyou was only a few years older than Lu Zifei, he touched his head and thought, why haven't he heard of such a good thing, even if he can get his turn?

"Hanzhang, are you sure you're not joking with Brother Wei?"

Lu Zifei told Fan Chunyou about the bank's plan and preliminary actions without reservation, including how to make a profit, how to operate, one question, one answer, and the two of them talked until sunset.

"Brother Shi asked about the same question, do you dare to accept this challenge now?"

Fan Chunyou said with a wry smile: "How did your brain grow, what is the difference between it and ours, you can think of this kind of thing, I can't give you an accurate answer now, I want to go back and figure it out alone." ”

Lu Zifei didn't have a little unhappiness on his face, and said with a smile: "That little brother is waiting for good news in the house."

Before Fan Chunyou left, Lu Zifei gave him a book written by his later life about the bank, and his previous life seemed to be called, Fan Chunyou went home happily if he got a treasure.

The choice of Fan Chunyou to be the president of Da Song Bank was something he had carefully considered, because in the near future, he would rely on Fan Da Sage.
