Lu Huiqing was in charge of the regulations department of the three departments, Zeng Bu was in charge of the official affairs of the central book inspection, and Zhang Dian was the official of the three departments of the revision of the regulations, and directly participated in the formulation of the new law.

The official qualities of the three people are not high in the center of the court, only from the fifth rank or the sixth grade, but they control the core affairs of the court center.

Although Xue Xiang is the only one of the four who is not from a Jinshi background, he is the chief shipping envoy of the five products in charge of the seven major transfer divisions, and he is the person with the highest official quality among the four.

It's just that he is directly responsible for the implementation of the equalization law, so he is also the one who has the worst life these days.

After more than two hours of discussion, Wang Anshi's study fell silent.

"No matter how good a scripture is, it will be read crookedly by a crooked monk." There is a strong sense of admiration in Zhang Dan's words, and he obviously admires Zhang Bin's talent.

"Xianggong, these things that Zhang Bin said to the Son of Heaven are clearly suspected of favoring, but they are just ...... It's just that we didn't even mention it on the table. Seeing that everyone, including Wang Anshi, was shocked by Zhang Bin's conversation with the Son of Heaven, and even praised him, Zeng Bu felt uncomfortable.

In fact, Zeng Bu and Zhang Bin didn't have any festivals, but Wang Yan found him and burned Zhang Bin's holy documents.

Originally, Zhang Bin was the victim of this incident, but Zeng Bu thought that if this matter was known by the Son of Heaven, it would bring him a lot of trouble, so he hated Zhang Bin.

This logic is absurd, but since ancient times, such people have abound in reality.

Xue Xiang glanced at Zeng Bu, thinking that this Zeng Bu was shameless, and he had stuffed five relatives and friends into each transfer department one after another, just taking money and not doing anything, had he forgotten?

Secretly scolding in his heart, Xue Xiang shook his head and said: "Anyway, I am very grateful to Zhang Bin, if he hadn't said these words to the Son of Heaven, I would have been forced to die." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Xiang looked worried, he was actually the most difficult person in the implementation of the equalization law, and sighed: "Don't hide it from the public, what Zhang Bin said doesn't need to send someone to verify at all, the lower officials can prove that this is indeed the case, and Zhang Bin's prediction is also very right, at most in two years, the seven major transfer divisions will not be able to make ends meet, not only is it difficult to hand over profits to the court, but even their own money can not be paid." ”

Although Wang Anshi had expected it, he was still shocked when he said such words from Xue Xiang, who was most familiar with the situation of the major transfer divisions.

But after all, Wang Anshi is a strongman who dares to call out the huge old party forces, and quickly put away his bitterness and sorrow, regained his calm self-confidence, and said solemnly: "This Zhang Bin, I want to see him." ”

Lu Huiqing, who had not spoken, also nodded: "Zhang Bin is a native of Guanzhong, except for going to Beijing to participate in a imperial examination two years ago, he has been studying in Hengqu Town, and he has been working as a staff officer in Dashun City for more than a year, and his experience is very clear. However, he understands the various drawbacks in the process of implementing the equalization method, and dares to seize the opportunity to say it to the Son of Heaven, this son...... I'm afraid it's not in the pool. ”

"Ji Fu is exaggerating! How could this Zhang Bin have such insight, these words must have been told to him by his father Zhang Zai, and told him to tell the Son of Heaven to hinder us from changing the law. Zeng Bu was taken aback and said immediately.

Lu Huiqing glanced at Zeng Bu, a faint sneer flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he chuckled: "Xianggong just said that he wanted to see this Zhang Bin, whether this son is a messenger for Zhang Zai, or his own talent, as long as we meet, we will naturally know." ”

Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "Don't forget, in the great victory of Dashun City, Zhang Bin made great contributions, and the good news of Han Xianggong and Chong Ge clearly said that more than 10,000 beheadings, Zhang Bin can account for 3,000. Moreover, Zhang Bin imitated Ban Chao in the Black Luo Division, killed the Western Thief Messenger, and coerced the Black Luo Department to borrow 3,000 cavalry, such things are by no means something that Zhang Zai, who is far away in Hengqu Town, can teach at any time. ”

Zeng Bu was unconvinced: "Zhang Zai can't teach Zhang Bin, but aren't these things Zhang Bin doing on the orders of the plant." ”

Zhang Duan still wanted to argue, but Wang Anshi coughed lightly, and he immediately shut up.

Xue Xiang was expressionless, but he shook his head secretly in his heart.

The four of them followed Wang Anshi to change the law, but Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu seemed to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they were intrigued and dismantled each other, and they did nothing more than to fight for the No. 2 status of the New Party.

Thinking about it again, although Wang Xianggong can see the decline of the Great Song Dynasty and the crux of the financial suspension, he can also prescribe the right medicine. Moreover, after exhausting all his thoughts, he has worked hard for the change of the law in the past two years, and his face has suddenly aged by five or six years, but the effect is not obvious, and the treasury is still unable to make ends meet.

However, because of the change of the law, the party struggle in the court has intensified, and now the new party and the old party oppose each other for the sake of opposition, and have begun to ignore the right and wrong of the matter.

At this moment, Xue Xiang suddenly wavered about whether the new law would succeed, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Is Wang Xianggong's change of law the right medicine?" The so-called medicine is three points of poison, and the current situation shows that if this medicine is used wrongly, not only can it not change the predicament of the imperial court, but I am afraid it will also aggravate the 'condition'. ”

Wang Anshi didn't know that the main general under his command had lost confidence in him, so he suddenly patted the table and said, "No matter what the festival between my Wang family and Zhang Bin was, as long as I can help us solve the dilemma of losing the law, why not ask him to meet." ”

Speaking of this, he swept his gaze over the four of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Xue Xiang, and said, "Shizheng, tomorrow you will personally bring my name card to the post house and invite that Zhang Bin over." ”

………

………

Because of Zhang Bin, Wang Yan was reprimanded three times by his father Wang Anshi tonight.

And once in front of Li Shunju's eunuch, and once in front of Zeng Bu, Xue Xiang, Zhang Dan, and Lu Huiqing, four people who were equal to his status in his opinion.

This was really too painful for Wang Yan, who was super conceited and had strong self-esteem, and it was difficult to sleep at all, so he secretly left the house.

For revenge on Zhang Bin, he couldn't wait for a moment.

There are many hotels, restaurants, and shops in Tokyo, but there are only 72 with sake brewing qualifications, and the scale and façade of these 72 are far beyond other restaurants, so these 72 are called main stores, and there is also a ranking, of which the first place is the famous Fan Lou.

More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, with the word of mouth of people who come and go to the capital, the saying of these seventy-two stores has already spread all over the world, as long as there is a little money, some identities are able to spend in the capital to seventy-two stores and have face, of course, the higher the ranking of the store, the more face is naturally consumed.

There are already more than one million fixed people in Bianjing City, plus the floating population, there are nearly two million people, so the business of these 72 stores can be called hot.

And just like that Fan Lou, the seventy-two main restaurants are not only for dining, but also for entertainment activities that can be found in this era.
