Chapter 46: Longquan Xinyi Tries the Edge (2)

[Second update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Wang Anshifu, Han Gang has already come a lot. In the gatehouse, he sat many times, and last night, he played two games of chess with Wang in the side hall, but it was the first time that Han Gang saw Wang Anshi, along with his three core assistants.

Wang Pan returned to the mansion with Han Gang and asked Menzi if his father had returned. After getting a positive answer, he led Han Gang directly to the study in the backyard. Wang Anshi had already said in advance that as long as Han Gang arrived, don't wait in the side hall, and take him directly to the outer hall of the study.

Han Gang stood outside the hall door, Wang went in to report, Wang Anshi, and the three people who were talking with him in the hall looked at it together.

As rumored, Wang Anshi, who is as tall as an ox, does look very dark, better than Kunlun Nu with a face like the bottom of a pot, but he also looks like he has been basking in the sun on the beach of Qiongzhou for 20 years. The green cloth clothes he wore were a little wrinkled, faded and white, and it seemed that the clothes had not been pulped since they were made, but they had been washed a lot. It is said that Wang Anshi is informal, but it is really true.

The other three middle-aged people sitting in the same hall were Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dan. They were all dressed in official uniforms, and apparently came directly from the yamen to Wang Anshi after the release of the yamen.

Zhang Dian was the first to be recognized by Han Gang, he and Zhang Yu were seven or eight points similar to each other, and his demeanor was self-contained, and he would not admit his mistake.

Among the remaining two, the handsome one in a red robe should be Lu Huiqing. Lu Huiqing is talented and has an excellent appearance, and he has been deeply appreciated by Ouyang Xiu and others, but when he participated in the new law, he became a Fujian son who gritted his teeth against the law. And he was recently specially awarded a five-grade suit by the Son of Heaven, and as the eighth rank prince Zhongyun, he wore a vermilion official court dress that only the fourth or fifth rank could wear. Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu still don't have this blessing.

The remaining one is naturally Zeng Bu, with an ordinary appearance and a thin figure, except for the sharp eyes, he can't see anything special, but when he thinks that he has a brother named Zeng Gong, and he is deeply respected by Wang Anshi, of course, it can't be an ordinary character.

"But Han Yukun?" Wang Anshi's gaze turned over and asked straight to the point.

Han Gang stepped into the door, saluted in front of Wang Anshi, and said, "Han Gang meets Dashen." ”

Wang Anshi looked at Han Gang, who stood up after saluting, smiled and nodded, not hiding the appreciation in his heart. Han Gang's appearance is not bad, and the temperament tempered by the unbelievable encounters and the experiences of the two lives is not comparable to that of an idle man.

Wang Anshi looks at Han Gang's temperament, has the gentleness and elegance of a scholar, the tranquility of being pampered and humiliated, and looks at the physique, and he is not inferior to the majesty of a general. The four words of civil and military shuangquan do not seem to be Wang Shao's boasting for him.

Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu exchanged glances, and at the same time nodded imperceptibly, this young man from Qinzhou was indeed a little better than they imagined.

Zhang Dian walked over. When Han Gang entered the door, Wang Anshi, Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing were all sitting, and only Zhang Dian stood up. In terms of status and age, it is appropriate for Wang Anshi and a few people to sit, but Zhang Dian will stand up because of Han Gang's life-saving grace to his father.

"I don't thank you for my great kindness, I am not a vulgar person when I look at Yukun, so I won't say any meaningless polite words. Yukun's life-saving grace to Jiayan is remembered by Zhang Dun, and there will be rewards in the future. Zhang Dian spoke boldly, a bit like the feeling of a good man in the market patting his chest and saying that he was full of words.

"If you don't do what you do, you don't have the courage. If they are also in custody, how can there be a reason not to help each other? Han Gang said humbly, and did not take credit for it.

Chapter's very cheerful Ha Luha laughed twice, and turned back to sit back in his seat.

Wang Anshi introduced Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu to Han Gang, and after each saluted, Han Gang sat down in the vacant seat at the next head under Wang Anshi's instructions. And Wang Bei, who led Han Gang in, retreated from the small door at the back of the hall.

Han Gang, who was sitting on the outside, was stared at by the four people at the top, a bit like he was taking an exam, and the atmosphere was a little more serious than the quan exam that ended yesterday.

Wang Anshi spoke first: "I watched Wang Shao's recommendation chapter a few days ago, and said that Yukun was born in a poor family and has been farming for generations. In Yukun's opinion, what are the benefits and harms of this green seedling loan to the people? What are the drawbacks of doing so? ”

Han Gang didn't expect that Wang Anshi's first question was not to ask about Hehuang's opening of the border, but his own views on the new law.

That's right, isn't that a matter of course?! The importance of the opening edge of the river is not even as important as the Hengshan Tuotu of Yanyan Road, how can it be compared with the Qingmiao loan?

However, Han Gang is also prepared for this, but the order is changed. Don't look at him hanging around every day, but when he meets Wang Anshi, he is prepared for the questions that may be asked. Everything is prepared, how many times has Han Gang's past experience reminded him of this truth.

"The Qingmiao loan has not been implemented in Qinzhou so far, and Han Gang does not dare to talk about the disadvantages and benefits." Seeing Wang Anshi's brows frowning slightly, Han Gang smiled and said, "But Han Gang knows that the annual interest of private loans in Qinzhou is often about double, which is a double benefit." Because of the borrowing of three or five yuan, there are countless examples of children and grandchildren being burdened with huge debts. Last year, Han Gang was seriously ill and bedridden, and his family had no money to spare. The parents were afraid that their children and grandchildren would be affected, so they did not dare to borrow a penny, so they only sold all the land in their family. If the interest on borrowing in the world can really be reduced to 40%, whether the money is government or private, it will be a good thing for the people. ”

"That's it!" Zhang Dian immediately answered, but he was helping Han Gang as if he was doing it, "I hate Han Qi's generation, but he says that Qingmiao loans harm the people." ”

Lu Huiqing also said: "There is also the imperial history Li Chang, he followed Han Qi closely the day before yesterday, and wrote that when a local official implemented the Qingmiao loan, he did not lend the principal but asked the people to pay the interest directly, but when asked him where the officials did this, he couldn't say. Then he said that the Son of Heaven spent millions of dollars to build a palace, and hundreds of thousands of dollars for a banquet, so he had to implement the Qingmiao Law to compete with the people. ”

"That's." Wang Anshi said, slightly angry, Zhao Ji has the grace of knowing him, and he did put the hope and expectation of helping the world on Zhao Ji, and he couldn't see the imperial history pouring dirty water on him, "Although the official family is the son of heaven who rules hundreds of millions of people, since he ascended the throne, he has only repaired the palace for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and has never spent public money for his own enjoyment." ”

"Not only Li Chang, isn't Sima Twelve also the same as Han Zhigui's generation? It is said that there are local states and counties that suppress the allocation of green and seedling loans, and they also say that with the authority of county officials to supervise and blame, they will encroach on the lower households. Lu Huiqing said fiercely, with deep anger on her elegant face.

Zeng Bu was also indignant and couldn't help himself: "There are rules in the Qingmiao Law, if you are willing to borrow, you will borrow, and if you don't want to borrow, you will not be forced." If there is really a violation of the ban, there will be an investigation and punishment, and people from all walks of life in the world will be sent out to supervise. Sima Junshi also used this matter to attack Qingmiao Fa. ”

Speaking of the attack on the new law, several people present had a stomach full of bitterness, like a powder keg that was picked up with a lead, and it exploded when it rubbed against the edge, Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu were all average.

Listening to the complaints of several core figures of the Fa-Changing faction, like ordinary people lamenting that the owner was mean and the salary was not high, Han Gang could understand how much pressure the anti-Fa-changer had caused them in the recent period. He said with a smile: "The "Criminal System" prohibits people from committing adultery and thieves, but the world has never stopped committing adultery. According to Sima Neihan's thoughts, this is a question of the "Criminal System", or the abolition of the "Criminal System". ”

There was silence in the hall at first, and then a burst of laughter erupted. Zhang Dian has a bold personality and doesn't mind laughing wantonly, Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing are a little more restrained than Zhang Den, but it is only a little bit, even Wang Anshi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, so as not to expose his gaffe.

"Since the death of Shi Shenzheng [Note 1], only Liu Gongfu and Su Zizhan are the only ones in the court who are good at it, and I can't imagine that Yukun is so sharp." After Zhang Dian indulged in laughter, he quickly became serious, and he was free to control his mood, which was also one of the necessary conditions for being in a high position, "It's just that Sima Twelve can speak, and it's useless to refute him with Yukun's words." Didn't Jifu fight with him about this the day before yesterday? ”

"I wonder what Simanehan said?" Han Gang was very curious about Sima Guang's reason, "Zizhi Tongjian" is a textbook for imperial studies, and if such a huge work can be compiled, Sima Guang's debating ability is definitely not bad.

Lu Huiqing sneered: "That's what Sima Twelve said, 'The foolish people know the benefits of taking debts, but they don't know the harm of repaying debts. ’”

- The foolish people only know the benefits of borrowing, but they don't know the disadvantages of repaying debts, and the county officials don't force them to borrow, but the rich people didn't force them to borrow in the past.

Han Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head. Looking at what Sima Guang said, because he was a fool, he only saw the benefits of borrowing money in front of him, but he didn't care about the consequences. For these village fools, let them borrow money from the rich people, and the government should not be involved.

How did this conclusion come from the arguments? It's completely illogical!

Han Gang sighed in a low voice, Sima Guang may be extremely intelligent, and he may not be a bad person, but if his ass is crooked, there is no way. The ass decides the position, and Sima Guang's position certainly can't stand with the law-changers.

He said: "The family teacher once said that although the common people are stupid, when it is in their own interests, they will become wise. This is human nature, and what Sima Nehan said really makes no sense. ”

"Sima Twelve is pretending to be confused." Lu Huiqing said unceremoniously.

Note 1: That is, the stone is neutral. He is known for his witty personality. When he was a foreigner, he went to the imperial garden with his colleagues to visit the lion, and his colleagues heard that the lion had to eat five catties of mutton a day, so he complained that the official was not as good as the lion. When he was appointed as the governor, some people advised him that he had already lived in the two mansions, and he should not be humorous again. It was the Son of Heaven who ordered me not to change anything.
