Chapter 71: Choice

At this time, the eldest king still didn't let Wang Yan leave, but picked up the newspaper on the table again and looked at it, and then glanced at his baby son again.

It's the second time he's like this.

Wang Yan felt strange and walked up to take a look, this newspaper from nowhere should be directly and indirectly related to my Dayan?

Wang Anshi didn't object, his feelings for the prodigy son were very strange now, so he said, "Yan'er will look at it carefully, and after reading it, tell your father what you think." ”

Hey, I'll go~

Wang Yan took a look, and this was probably the first sensitive administration of the great cool official Li Shen.

Wang Yan pointed to a word on the newspaper and said, "Daddy, you have to tell me what this word is first?" ”

Hearing the prodigy's question, Geng Tianqiu almost fell, and he was really speechless.

Wang Anshi was kind and explained the source to his son. He glanced at Geng Tianqiu again and said: "There is no need for this, back then, the hall made a state judgment under Han Qi, and Han Qigong also had a lot of rare words that he didn't know, but he was ashamed to come down to me for advice." It doesn't matter if you don't understand, what I'm afraid of is that I don't know how to pretend to understand, or if I do, I pretend not to understand. ”

"Yes." Geng Tianqiu Waterfall Sweat, even Han Qi didn't know many words, and Wenzong Taidou Ouyang Xiu also scolded those bachelors all day long for liking to show off and use rare words, it seemed that Wen Qing was really sick.

After asking a few places, Wang Yan read through.

This is talking about the transfer of Li Shen to make a loan in Shaanxi.

With the word "all", the official of this goods is one level older than the righteous father, and he is a real feudal official and border guard.

In principle, this is a good news, and it is the material that Li Shen submitted to the imperial court to report his merits and used as a summary of the annual court meeting.

Of course, it was for Zhang Fangping, so Zhang Fangping is now in Shuzhou, so this newspaper will be transferred here.

After Zhang Fangping got it, he showed it to his own Wang Anshi. Then this move reveals a political signal: perhaps Lao Zhang is skeptical of Li Shen's government affairs, or mixed reviews.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan shook his head and continued to look.

In fact, it is good news, saying that Li Shen issued "green seedling money" to the people of Shaanxi before spring ploughing this year, that is, loans. Let the common people not be controlled by usury and landlords and grain merchants. After that, the autumn harvest was abundant.

"Tell me what you think." Wang Anshi asked again.

Wang Yan said: "This situation is called the so-called green and yellow shortage. The people have no money to spare, and their ability to resist risks is too low. In order to buy seedlings, in order to rent ploughing cattle, in order to eat before the autumn harvest. They usually only borrow money to live, but the loan with up to four cents of interest, spring ploughing continues to the autumn harvest, the time span is more than half a year, and the calculation of interest is more than two cents, which is equivalent to their loss of two layers of income for no reason. ”

Seeing that this kid just glanced at it and went directly to the core, Wang Anshi and Geng Tianqiu twisted their beards and nodded frequently.

Wang Yan continued: "It's not really that you only lose two floors, this is just the beginning. Usurers often specify the time limit, and they will definitely be stuck in collecting debts before the farmers sell their autumn grain. Then under the rule of the lawsuit, the usury debt collection is protected by the government. At the same time, if the calculation is correct, the local grain merchant alliance uniformly sold the grain, resulting in a sharp drop in grain prices, and the people who were being organized to collect debts by the vitality organization had no ability to resist risks, so they could only sell the grain in their hands at a low price to repay the loan. From the point of view of interest, it is only about two layers of loss, but with the manipulation of food prices, this weighting. As a result, the price paid by the people for this seedling money each time exceeded four layers. and then pay the government tax grain, then although the autumn harvest is over, it is basically equivalent to vain hard work, and there will be nothing left. It lasted for half a year at most, and then they started borrowing money to buy seedlings, and then the cycle continued year after year, and the government tax revenue actually died. ”

Wang Anshi nodded frequently when he heard this.

Geng Tianqiu suddenly interjected: "Childe, why do you say that the government tax is also dead?" Haven't you been paying all the time? ”

Wang Yan said: "What you said is only that the grain tax and the personal tax are fixed. However, there is a characteristic of our dynasty, that is, the prosperity of the commodity economy has made our dynasty's commercial tax surpass the sum of all other taxes. Then the commercial tax comes from the transaction, and if there is no transaction, there will be no GDP and no commercial tax, please automatically ignore the three words GDP. Therefore, it is obvious that transactions will generate commercial taxes, and as the largest tax of the dynasty, it directly determines the adequacy or depletion of the dynasty's finances. From here, how to ensure that the charge is easy? It's very simple, the people need to have money in their hands, and if the money is not circulated, it will die. If Wang Er's grain hadn't been exploited by the Vitality Organization and sold at a good price, then he would have bought Li Si's meat, and when Li Si had money selling meat, he would have bought Zhang San's condiments. In fact, no matter the money of the government and the people, it all comes from this way. ”

"......" Wang Anshi and Geng Tianqiu couldn't help but look at each other.

Wang Yan added: "In other words, because of the inaction of the ruling officials, a large amount of money that should have been owned by the imperial court has entered the hands of merchants who vigorously organize and manipulate grain. They harmed not only the imperial court, but also countless people, the country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented. There's really no need to deduce what will happen in the future. ”

"But the old man wants to hear what you say in person?" A voice came from behind the bookshelf, it turned out that Zhang Fangping was also hiding here, and now he came out.

"I've seen my uncle, so the kid continued."

After seeing the salute, Wang Yan said: "What I said above is a vicious circle. These things have happened to make Lao Tzu, the court eagle dogs, look stupid, and the people who have been hurt don't trust us. After the common people are hurt, they will not tell the reason, they will only blame the court and the emperor. After it couldn't go on, there was a group called 'runaways'. These people hid in the mountains and never came out again, did not participate in the imperial court economic circle, did not serve the government, and did not pay food to the government. Then the ultimate victim is us court eagle dogs. According to my theory of protection fees, they paid protection fees to the imperial court, and they were the emperor's people, and failing to protect them was a lack of righteousness, dereliction of duty, treachery, and failure to do a good job of the government. It's a bully......"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fangping slapped the back of his head and said: "Are you drunk again, is it as serious as you said, the court is such a big crime, and the bullying is used?" Don't play word games with old husbands. The stick is useless to the old man. The old man admits that he didn't do a good job, but you kid don't want to button our hats indiscriminately. And who taught your grammar exactly? Why are we eagle dogs? Don't talk about the eagle, it's okay for you to admit such a low-level thing as a dog, don't represent the old man. ”

"Well, Uncle Xianggong is mighty, and the kid is wrong." Wang Yan also counted on him to protect the Wang family and issue a banking license, so he didn't dare to scare him.

Wang Anshi was very distressed that his baby son was pulled out of his brain, but he really didn't dare to say that Lao Zhang, Uncle Sima next door was still treated like this by him, so it was difficult to blame him for this.

Zhang Fangping sat down, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaoyan, according to what you just said, it seems that you have a positive view of the green seedling money that Li Shen put out this time?" ”

Wang Yan was a little nervous. This is the second time that Lao Zhang has revealed mixed signals, otherwise he would not have asked such a question with his temper, and he would not have discussed the government affairs of Shaanxi in Huaixi.

Speaking of which, Li Shen, that cool official, is indeed bold and very smart. So he really implemented the Qingmiao money in this year in history, which greatly increased the finance and taxation of the border areas of Shaanxi, and the finances were red.

Li Shen's deeds are the initial form of the "Green Seedling Law" in the heart of the great demon king in the future.

The reason why Li Shen is smarter than Wang Anshi is that he does not "change the law", but quietly enters the village without shooting. He just kept his head down and did things, only telling the court that Lao Tzu had made money, and didn't say anything "I will change the law". Therefore, Li Shen is not the target of the world for the time being, and few people are suddenly facing him.

Of course, the financial red answer sheet of Li Shenda in the fifth year of Huangyou's big cool official is also very sequelae. People who have this idea in this way will of course be paid attention to.

Li Shen is very smart, and he retracted it in a low-key manner after this incident. This is where his wit lies, and it is also the reason why he has not been able to make a name for himself.

Then, at this time when Shaanxi's finance and taxation were red, Zhang Fangping did not fully hold a positive attitude towards Qingmiao Qian, Wang Yan suddenly understood, and knew why Zhang Fangping would oppose Wang Anshi's change of law later.

The core lies in the fact that Zhang Fangping saw that Wang Anshi was covered with bruises, and the court gradually transitioned from political disputes to party disputes. Many officials are using the reputation of the new law to fool around. So with Lao Zhang's character, regardless of whether Wang Anshi did what he did was correct or not, but to apply his consistent logic: being in his position cannot level the officials under his command, causing all kinds of moths to occur, which is a crime against the dynasty and the system.

That's politics. There is no right or wrong in politics, it is the result of the game of positions and interests.

As a petty traitor, this is a political choice, and it is okay to call this taking sides.

However, before standing in line, Wang Yan also needs to make a final analysis to determine: Is Lao Zhang questioning Li Shen's political achievements?

Could it be that I made a mistake and Lao Zhang deliberately tested it for the sake of clichΓ©s?

Zhang Fangping's eyes can't rub the sand, not to mention that he has become his political enemy if he expresses the wrong words at this time, at least it is a manifestation of "bones are not surprising enough", and it will be difficult to get his key cultivation in the future, and then it will be difficult to obtain a banking license.
