Chapter 64: Entering the Palace and Facing the Holy (Asking for Collection and Recommendation Votes)

The so-called equal-loss method proposed and implemented by Wang Anshi, in the words of later generations, actually wants to change all the industries related to people's livelihood and profiteering industries that are mainly grain-based to state-owned enterprises to control, and to forcibly let private enterprises stop and hand over all these businesses to state-owned enterprises.

Then, through the state's macroeconomic regulation and control, these profits originally obtained by the gentry and the wealthy were taken away from the state, so as to solve the current dilemma of the imperial court's financial constraints.

Moreover, in Wang Anshi's mind, the imperial court would come forward to run these businesses, and there would naturally be less exploitation of the toiling people below......

Wang Anshi's idea is good, and the purpose is naturally good, but it is a pity that when officials and businessmen are combined, even if the social system and legal supervision system of later generations are as sound, it is difficult to avoid some shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, let alone the Great Song Dynasty.

"This can't be blamed on Wang Anshi, this is the limit of the times, he doesn't know that when the commercial house is governed by the government, the structure of the commercial house is the same as the official government, and its habits are basically the same as the official government.

As for whether these officials and officials understand commercial affairs, whether they have the natural ability to operate a commercial bank, and whether they have the means to avoid risks, I am afraid that Wang Anshi and the Son of Heaven have never considered it.

"No wonder in history, Zhao Ji strongly supported Wang Anshi to promote the equalization of the loss of the law meeting ended in a farce, and in the end, Zhao Ji was extremely disappointed in Wang Anshi and lost confidence." Zhang Bin sighed in his heart, and his expression was a little complicated.

In fact, in the original history, it was also like this, after the implementation of the equalization law, in addition to providing a lot of profits to the imperial court in the first year, the next year was not as good as a year, and by the fourth year, it was already beyond his means, especially after Lu Jiawen became the official of the municipal service department, he was proud and arrogant, and he wantonly collected money from top to bottom, filling his own pockets, making the road of changing the law more and more difficult, and becoming the last straw that crushed the camel.

Just when Zhang Bin walked out of the last grain store of the secret visit with emotion, the post man of the post house hurriedly found him with a eunuch and two guards.

"Senator Zhang, summoned by the Son of Heaven, enter the palace immediately." Before Yi Cheng, whose envy and shock had not yet dissipated, spoke, the little eunuch immediately said in a screaming voice, his expression full of solemnity and anxiety.

"Enter the palace to face the saint? Now, now? Zhang Bin was stunned for a moment, the dignified Song Tianzi, how could he summon the officials below in such a hurry, isn't there a plan and procedure or something, at least let him bathe and change his clothes and prepare!

Yicheng was very well prepared, and asked people to bring Zhang Bin's non-grade official clothes from the post house, Zhang Bin didn't talk nonsense, and directly took the bamboo girl and the snake slave into the carriage and rushed towards the palace.

Along the way, under the service of Zhu Niang and the snake slave, Zhang Bin changed his clothes, tidied up his hair, and hurriedly took care of it.

This is not Zhang Bin's hypocrisy, but the untidy appearance of officials when they face the saint, which is a big crime, and even the crime of bullying the king, since ancient times, there are not a few officials who have been convicted because of this.

………

………

Zhang Bin was hurriedly brought into the palace, and he didn't care about looking at the scenery in the palace, but he felt that the huge imperial city was extremely oppressive, obviously magnificent, but there was an inexplicable feeling of desolation and ruin.

When he came to the gate of the Chongzheng Palace, the little eunuch asked him to wait outside, and he went in through the side door to report it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Han Aiqing, you keep saying that you want me to remove Wang Anshi from the position of deputy prime minister, but now that my Great Song Dynasty is unable to make ends meet, what are your best ways to solve this matter, if you can find a way to solve this matter, I will remove Wang Anshi. ”

This is the voice that Zhang Bin heard outside the Chongzheng Palace, claiming to be 'I', which is naturally Zhao Ji, the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, but the problem is that there is no majesty and calmness of the Son of Heaven in these words, and Zhang Bin even heard some angry weakness from it.

"This is the ...... of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty" Zhang Bin, who was a little nervous because he met the emperor for the first time, suddenly settled down.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also knows that the court can't make ends meet now, but as long as Your Majesty is frugal and the world first, there will be no shortage of natural national use."

After an interval of four or five minutes, Zhang Bin heard this sentence, and there was an inexplicable strength in his calmness, thinking about the voice of Han Qi, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

And this prime minister is not an ordinary prime minister, Yingzong refused to attend the great ceremony of Renzong, and the name of unfilial piety spread, if there was no Han Qi in the middle, Empress Dowager Cao had already united with the courtiers to abolish Yingzong, so Emperor Yingzong was supported by Han Qi.

And the reason why Zhao Ji couldn't be strong in front of Han Qi was not because Han Qi was the prime minister, but because Yingzong's edict allowed Han Qi to assist him Zhao Ji to ascend to the throne.

Regardless of merit and popularity, or authority and means, even the current Zhao Ji has no way to shake Han Qi's status even if he is the Son of Heaven.

But Zhang Bin had some contempt for Han Qi at this time, and there was no way to help the Son of Heaven solve the problem of the treasury not making ends meet, and he also said confidently that the Son of Heaven would have money if he was thrifty, although Zhang Bin did not have a clear understanding of Zhao Ji, the emperor, but from what he had seen on the road since entering the palace, he could at least be sure of one thing - this emperor never liked to build a large palace and extravagance.

Zhang Bin stood outside the door, and he could also think that Zhao Ji must be angry in his heart at this time, but he still tried his best to remain normal on his face.

Just as Zhang Bin thought, Zhao Qi in the hall was so angry that he trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to scold Han Qi, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Do you want to say that I am not a faint king who is extravagant?

I never have more than six dishes per meal......

The quilts I use at night are all old from a year ago......

The tea cup on my table is made of plain porcelain......

Zhao Ji really hated Han Qi to death at this time, how could he Zhao Ji have had extravagance since he ascended the throne, and this would make me frugal again.

Even if I live the life of an ordinary person, how much food can I save for the court?

The harem is only used for 500,000 yuan a year, and even if it is all taken out, it will be just a drop in the bucket for the imperial court's finances to make ends meet.

As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, Zhao Ji naturally couldn't say these words, so he was very aggrieved at this time.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Bin, the senator of Dashun City, has arrived outside the palace." Li Shunju, the enshrinement officer on the right side of Long Collapse's lower hand, sighed secretly, knowing that he was speaking at this time just to relieve His Majesty.

Zhao Ji really felt relieved in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "Today, I will summon the great meritorious ministers from Dashun City, and the matter of losing the law will be discussed next time, you Aiqing will retreat first!" ”

Han Qi wanted to say something, but the Son of Heaven had already spoken, although he was strong, he also knew that things had to have a degree, if he persecuted the Son of Heaven too much, he would only be angry, it would only backfire, so he sighed secretly, saluted the Son of Heaven in unison with everyone, and then retreated outside.

He Han Qi opposes the new law, of course, it is related to the fact that the new law will seriously damage the interests of their Han family, but it is more that he is old in accidents, and the three dynasties are the prime ministers, and he knows too well what the virtues of the officials of the court from top to bottom are, Wang Anshi himself also admires, and the goal of strengthening the country is good, but the problem is that Wang Anshi is too naΓ―ve......
