Chapter 894: A Visit to the Two Mansions

At night, Yang Wenguang returned, and the two brothers Yang Huairen and Yang Huaiyu also returned, and the Yang Mansion was naturally lively, pushing the cup and changing the lamp and laughing constantly.

During the banquet, Yang Wenguang inquired in detail about the relevant situation in the four states of the Northland, and learned in detail about the specific process of Cui Wenqing's capture of Zhi Weiben and Yi Zuo's envoy, and said with a smile at the end: "Okay, if Zheweiben falls, there will be no more opponents for Ah Zhao to hinder her, and the Zhenwu Army can also be single-minded in military power, and there is no need to face the danger of splitting as before." ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "My grandfather is right, at present, the morale of the whole army of Zhenwu Army is high, the enthusiasm for training is very good, and the heart of protecting the family and defending the country is also shared by everyone. ”

Hearing this, Yang Wenguang suddenly thought of something, and asked with a smile: "By the way, the old man heard Ah Zhao talk about it, saying that when you were training the Zhenwu Army New Army last year, you invented a drill method called what kind of queue training, and it is said that the effect is good, and I don't know what is going on?" ”

In front of Yang Wenguang, Cui Wenqing naturally knew everything, and told the purpose and meaning of the queue training and the specific methods, and Yang Wenguang nodded again and again, even Yang Huairen, who had always had secret opinions about him, also secretly admired Cui Wenqing's training method.

After listening, Yang Wenguang said first: "According to the old man, your set of queue training is mainly to grasp the discipline and foundation of the soldiers, at present, our army in Daqi is still relatively lacking in this training, Wen Qing, according to the old man's opinion, you might as well summarize your set of queue training into a book, and after giving it to the old man, the old man will consider one or two to improve, so that the whole army can implement it in the future, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Wenqing knew that Yang Wenguang was the privy envoy of the dynasty and was responsible for the training of all the troops in Daqi, so he smiled and said: "Since it is my grandfather's order, I will naturally summarize it with my heart, and after a few days, I will show the book to my grandfather." ”

Yang Wenguang smiled and nodded, and drank with Cui Wenqing again.

On the second day, Cui Wenqing still did not rush to the household department to report, and on this day, he was preparing to visit Wang Anshi's mansion.

And this visit, compared to yesterday's trip to the Yang Mansion, he is more attentive.

Because he hopes that through today's conversation with Wang Anshi, he can understand the specific situation in the court at present, as well as the main contradictions and conflicts, which will point out the direction for his affairs after the Daqi Bank.

So this conversation was very important to him.

At the end of the day, Cui Wenqing went out on time and got into a carriage and headed towards Wang Anshi's mansion, and there was an ox cart behind the carriage, in addition to some local products brought back from the four states of the Northland, there were also two fat pigs screaming.

Before arriving at the gate of Wang Anshi's mansion, Wang Anshi's eldest son, Wang Yan, personally descended to greet him.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing was taken aback, and hurriedly walked up quickly and smiled at Wang Yan: "How can you be in Xia, it is really ashamed that Brother Lao Wang came to greet him in person!" ”

Cui Wenqing's words are not polite words, you must know that Wang Yan is a storyteller in the 100-million-year-old palace.

Don't look at the official position of this post is not high, but he specializes in telling the history of books for the officials, explaining the scriptures, and preparing consultants, which can be said to be the people around the officials.

Moreover, Wang Yan has a very good personal relationship with the official Chen Hong, how can Wang Yan, an ordinary person, be in his eyes? Now he has come out to wait to greet him, which shows that Wang Yan and the entire palace attach great importance to Cui Wenqing.

"Don't say that, junior brother." Wang Yan held Cui Wenqing's hand, and the smile on his face was full of kindness, "I learned that you came to visit today, my father pushed all the official affairs, and made a special trip to wait at home. ”

Under the leadership of Wang Yan, Cui Wenqing entered the gate of the palace.

Wang Anshi did not choose to wait for Cui Wenqing's arrival in the main hall of hospitality, but waited in the study.

Among the hospitality of many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the main hall is generally used to receive guests and friends, while the study room is used to receive relatives and confidants.

Entering the study, Wang Yan made two hot teas with his own hands, and then gently closed the door and walked out, and only Wang Anshi and Cui Wenqing were left in the study.

Wang Anshi was wearing a Yanju suit today, which was not so formal, but he didn't have too many greetings, and said straight to the point: "Letting you serve as the vice president of Daqi Bank is actually the meaning of the old man and the official." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed his head lightly, and did not interject rashly, showing a serious listen.

Wang Anshi said slowly: "Although he is the vice president, because the president Fu Bi is mainly responsible for the affairs of the household department, you are still mainly responsible for this Daqi Bank. The specific reason for this is that in terms of the current situation, the changes implemented by the old man have been opposed by almost the entire court officials, and the new laws such as the Qingmiao Law, the City Yi Law, the Exemption Law, the Fangtian Tax Law, and the Farmland Water Conservancy Law are all difficult to implement, which includes opposition from the top, such as the Queen Mother such as Sima Guang and others, and also from the bottom such as the state and county thorn history, county decrees, you can tell me, do you know where the root of the opposition is? ”

Cui Wenqing pondered for a moment and replied: "Now many people in the countryside are rumors, saying that the reason why you are implementing the new law is to help the official family compete for imperial power, and the official family also hopes to use the new law to establish personal prestige, so as to eliminate the influence of the former regent queen mother on the court situation, but if you want me to say, the person who holds such an idea is jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It is only because your new law has shaken the established interests of interest groups and destroyed the soil for them to plunder money and property, which makes these people rebel in anger, that they maliciously slander and obstruct the implementation of the new law. ”

Hearing this, Wang Anshi smiled and said: "You can think like this, the old man is deeply gratified, now I have been in the country for more than 40 years, and it is a critical period when the old order is gradually declining and the new order is gradually established. Although their ancestors have made a lot of great contributions to my Daqi, most of them have not inherited the talents of their ancestors, but have grown like a tumor in the temple, forming a party to influence the implementation of the major policies of the imperial court internally, and monopolizing the wealth of the people outside. ”

Cui Wenqing understood what Wang Anshi meant, and couldn't help but be shocked.
