Chapter Seventy-Seven: Trickery and Letters

Wang Anshi asked Xue Xiang to send Zhang Bin out, and the two walked out of the mansion in parallel.

Zhang Bin had disappointment and understanding on his face, although he had long known that a character like Wang Anshi would never be easily moved by his words, let alone easily abolish the even-lose method he had worked so, but at this time he still felt a deep sense of disappointment.

"If you want to do something good for the country and the people, why is it so difficult?" At this moment, Zhang Bin suddenly realized the hardships and difficulties of Wang Anshi's change.

Although Wang Anshi did not reject Zhang Bin's proposal, it seemed that it was fundamentally unacceptable to abolish the equalization law, and it was obvious that he wanted to continue to maintain the implementation of the equalization law by eradicating the shortcomings of the equalization law.

And Wang Anshi does not want to abolish the equalization and loss law, and with the character of today's son, there is a chance that he will not adopt his bidding and auction method.

"The shipping envoy is most familiar with the situation of the transshipment divisions, and now Wang Xianggong still wants to maintain the implementation of the equalization law, and the transshipment divisions can still be saved according to the shipping envoys?" Walking to the gate of Wang Anshi's mansion, Zhang Bin was about to salute Xue Xiang to say goodbye, when he saw that Xue Xiang was always frowning, his expression was extremely heavy, and his heart moved, so he couldn't help asking.

Xue Xiang sighed, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Difficult! It's too hard. ”

Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he asked: "It's just difficult to see it according to the shipment?" ”

Xue Xiang looked at Zhang Bin's aggressive eyes, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just difficult, unless you start killing, but how is this possible, Your Majesty's temperament can't be done in the first place, even if Your Majesty is really persuaded by Xianggong, but the old party is powerful, if it is extremely forced, unscrupulous, it will definitely cause a big mess, Your Majesty will definitely stop immediately, and we and other people of the new party will be counterattacked, and at that time, it is difficult for Xianggong to protect his position, and I will be imprisoned if I am serious, and I will be released at least and leave the center of the court." ”

Zhang Bin sincerely admired: "The shipping envoy is really thoughtful, he is an understanding person, and I hope that the shipping envoy can persuade the prince more." ”

Xue Xiang smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Doesn't Ziyu know that Xianggong is known as 'stubborn Xianggong', if he makes a decision, even His Majesty will be difficult to change his mind." ”

Zhang Bin was disappointed again, and asked unwillingly: "Please also ask the shipping envoy, is there any other way to abolish the equalization law and implement the bidding law?" ”

Xue Xiang looked at Zhang Bin, pondered for a while, and said: "Don't hide it from yourself, I am a very rare person among the civil officials who likes to study commercial affairs, but unfortunately I can't catch it, and I have lost the law under my specific promotion, which has become the current situation." ”

After a pause, Xue Xiang said again: "I am very interested in the method of bidding that Ziyu said, just now in the Xianggong study, I thought about it carefully, although this method is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, but I think it is extremely feasible, because I know that businessmen pursue profits." ”

Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he sincerely admired: "Shipping makes the eyes like a torch, and the lower officials have such great confidence in the bidding method, it is indeed because businessmen pursue profits is the law of commerce." ”

Xue Xiang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "At present, if you want Your Majesty to abolish the equalization law and implement the law of bidding, unless the imperial court suddenly urgently needs a large amount of money and grain, but the third division can't take it out, but most of these things are not a good thing, and they are also unavoidable." ”

After speaking, Xue Xiang waved his hand, and without waiting for Zhang Bin to salute and say goodbye, he turned around and entered Wang Anshi's mansion.

In the study, Wang Anshi and a cadre of key elements of the New Party continued to discuss and study, in a vain attempt to find a way to save and maintain the equalization method.

Zhang Bin looked at Xue Xiang's disappearing back, thoughtfully, and turned around and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Zhu Niang did not come, but the snake slave was there, waiting for Zhang Bin to take off his official hat.

Zhang Bin found a comfortable position, lying on the elastic thighs of the snake slave, his eyes slightly squinted, and his eyes were closed.

In Wang Anshi's mansion just now, although he only said some words, he spent a lot of effort and felt a little mentally exhausted.

The tiger flicked the horsewhip, the carriage started, and Li Siwa and the others surrounded the carriage and walked towards the post house.

Although Mingyue Tower is ranked 21st among the 72 main stores in Tokyo City, the location is excellent, located next to the Bianhe River, and guests can sit upstairs and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bianhe River.

It was still the small building in the backyard, Wang Yan listened to Xiaoqu and drank wine under the service of Mingyue, the young woman in charge of Mingyue Building, but there was not much annoyance on his face because Ma Binrui failed to humiliate Zhang Bin.

"Childe, that Ma Binrui failed to humiliate Zhang Bin, but was humiliated, and asked to see Childe through the concubine at this time." Mingyue sat in Wang Yan's arms, gently fed Wang Yan a sip of wine, and said softly.

A cold light flashed on Wang Yan's face, and he said: "Zhang Bin has an entourage by his side, it seems to be called Tiger Head, you go and arrange it yourself, so that Ma Binrui will die at the hands of Tiger Head." ”

Mingyue's body stiffened, but instantly returned to normal, and said in a low voice: "The concubine understands, and the concubine will arrange it herself." ”

Wang Yan thought for a while, and then said: "There is no need to be too anxious about this matter, there must be a suitable time to hit Zhang Bin hard." ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "You prepare the manpower first, think of foolproof plans and means, and wait for my instructions, I will let you do it, and you will do it." ”

"The concubine understands." Mingyue nodded and said, "It's just that Ma Binrui wants to see Gongzi now, how can I tell him?" ”

Wang Yan sneered: "Didn't you say that Ma Binrui is very fascinated by the girl named Chun'er in our building, so give Chun'er to him!" Just say that I apologized to him, and asked him to keep his mouth shut and not talk nonsense. ”

Back at the post house, the post man sent two letters to Zhang Bin, one was brought by his father from Hengqu Town, which was brought by a caravan, mainly saying two things.

First, he asked him to get 1,000 acres of land in Zhen'an County, Shangzhou, so that he could implement his practice of the well field system.

Second, it answers in detail the question that Zhang Bin deliberately left him: why do people first see the top of the sail of the returning ship in the distance when the ship is sailing in the water, and then slowly see the hull?

Zhang Zai first praised Zhang Bin for discovering the truth and correcting people's misunderstandings since ancient times, and then expounded his own opinion: the general meaning is that although it is not clear why the earth is round, and if the earth is round, why don't people fall down when they stand on it? But Zhang Zai still thinks that the earth is indeed round.

After reading the letter, Zhang Bin smiled bitterly: "Dad really can't forget this well field system, and it's hard to shift his attention!" ”

Zhang Bin knew very well that he must not let his father engage in the practice of this well field system, otherwise it would inevitably have a great impact on his career, which can be seen from the resistance and opposition of officials and magnates whose interests were damaged during the implementation of the new law.

And the well field system that he wants to implement is even more ruthless, directly offending all the officials, landlords, and nobles in the world to death, not to mention digging his own grave, and pit his son in death.
