"Pour wine for your father!" Wen Yanbo said.

Wen Jifu looked worried, "Dad, you've drunk two pots, you can't drink any more!" ”

"It's only two pots?" Wen Yanbo clicked his mouth, and said unsatisfied: "Go, take two more pots, and get drunk for your father...... Retribution, what retribution! ”

Wen Yanbo couldn't help laughing, "Wang Ning'an's men are starting to make trouble...... They are infighting! ”

Wen Jifu has never seen it, his father is so happy, he is even happier than picking up the dog's head gold.

"Daddy...... As for that? Wen Jifu said worriedly: "The child is very anxious now, the six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the General Staff, and the Royal Bank are all Wang Ning'an's people, you are just an empty prince now, and the other old ministers are also on the sidelines, even if they fight among themselves, we have no chance, we can only watch from the side, and we are bored." ”

"Stupid...... Forget it, I'm happy today, so I won't scold you. Wen Yanbo smiled incomprehensibly, "Some things are like visiting the Qinglou, if you go once, you will go to the second time, the third time...... You kid should know this very well! ”

"Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't scold!" Wen Jifu had a fever on his face.

Lao Wen smiled lightly and continued: "Wang Ningan thought that he had recruited all the talents in the world, and he drove us old people aside, desperate to promote his students, thinking that the world was his...... Dream on! Without us holding them down, these little bunnies won't stop...... You see, sooner or later they will fight all over their bodies, and even the great forces will collapse. I thought that my father estimated that it wouldn't be long before they would be angry and resentful, but Wang Ning'an wanted to retreat, Your Majesty, and couldn't suppress this group of fellow brothers, what do you say? ”

Wen Jifu hesitated for a moment and shook his head!

"You're hopelessly stupid!" Wen Yanbo exclaimed angrily: "At that time, Your Majesty naturally needs a person with high moral integrity, extraordinary means, strong qualifications, and outstanding intelligence to suppress them...... You say, what will Your Majesty do? Wen Yanbo's face was full of intoxication and pride.

Wen Jifu thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Dad, Your Majesty won't get Wang Ning'an back, right?" ”

Burst!

A sip of wine will squirt you to death!

Wen Yanbo jumped like thunder, looked up to the sky and sighed, how did Lao Tzu give birth to a pig!

……

"You're over!" Zeng Gong looked sad and said to his brother: "Everyone is the same brother and brother, there must always be some room for relaxation, those words are said in secret, why bother to bring it to the table and let others laugh!" ”

Zeng Bu pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"What else can you laugh at, say that we are fighting with the same door, and smear the master's face!"

Zeng Bu shook his head vigorously, "I don't think so, if I don't read the book, some people will say that we have a nest of snakes and rats, shelter each other, and promise to be even worse than now...... After so many years, my brother knows better than me what virtues people chew on the root of their tongues, and they always have something to say. We must not be afraid to slander and ridicule when we do things. ”

Zeng Gong was helpless, "Having said that, you shouldn't take the lead in attacking Sima Junshi, he is the second minister!" ”

"What about the second phase?" Zeng Bu said unconvinced: "Master will retire in another year, and he Sima Guang will consider himself the future prime minister?" Isn't that too arrogant? Since Master has pushed us to a high position, it is to let us show our talents, who can become Master's successor, everything is still undecided! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Gong was even more dumbfounded, is this still that honest brother? When did he become so ambitious?

Could it be that he still wants to snatch the position of prime minister, Zeng Gongke never thought about it!

"Brother, the first may not be the first, Sima Guang can really take over the master's position, and the master will not be so arranged...... I've thought about it these days, and Master doesn't necessarily care who succeeds him, but he must care if he can continue Master's concept and take the helm for Da Song, and because of this, he puts everyone in a different position to experience, just to see what we can do! ”

Zeng Gong took a breath, don't say it, it makes sense!

Before, everyone speculated that Zhang Zhe was the master's beloved apprentice and would be a heavenly official, and Su Zhe was good at finance, and he was the master's brother-in-law, so he should take over the household department, and Wang Shao, who had outstanding merits, was the best candidate for the military department!

But the problem is that everyone's speculation has been frustrated...... Perhaps, just like the brother's guess, the master wants to test everyone!

"Don't look at the six departments, the Ministry of Industry is ranked last, but in the future, the Ministry of Industry will be the most important department of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zeng Gong exclaimed: "Is it to build a railway? ”

"Hmm!" Zeng preached: "Looking at Master's administration, Xingli will always be in front of the disadvantages, and the next railway projects will fall to the Ministry of Industry, relying on a huge budget, why can't you compete with those few people!" Even if you can't become the prime minister, at least you have to fight with them! ”

Zeng Bu clenched his fists, since he was in school, there has been competition between the big guys, and now that he is in this position, it is just for the world to see who is the king of Jiayou for two years!

It's as plain as Zeng Bu, they all jumped down, can the others stop?

After waiting for another two days, Lu Huiqing finally wrote the book, but he did not directly criticize Sima Guang, but proposed a comprehensive assessment...... For example, is it possible to increase freight and fares to increase the revenue of the railway?

He provided another idea, which also attracted countless discussions, and Wang Anshi, who had been silent, also studied at home...... Wang Yan and Wang Anguo are both there, in the new round of adjustment, Wang Anguo was sent to the Audit Department, specifically responsible for supervising the implementation of finances, and his thoughts are somewhat similar to Sima Guang.

"Brother, the deficit of the railroad is there, and if it is not dealt with, the annual interest expense alone can swallow up a large chunk of the finances...... Among the people who read the book, most of them don't have backache when they stand and talk, and if you really let them take care of it, you know how difficult it is! ”

Wang Yan, who was stuffy, suddenly raised his head, "Uncle, is there really no good way?" ”

Wang Anguo shook his head slightly, "Maybe there is, but I can't think of it...... If you are worried about the railroad falling into the hands of private merchants, I propose that perhaps a threshold could be set up, such as allowing the private sector to invest 30 percent, up to 49 percent, so that the imperial court can still hold great power without worrying about the railway falling into the hands of merchants. ”

"That's a good way!"

Wang Yan clapped his hands and laughed, as if he had obtained a treasure, "Dad, why don't you follow your uncle's method to read the book, it just solves the problem in front of you, and I think the saint will be happy." ”

Wang Anshi's face was expressionless, and after a while, he stopped what he was doing.

"Pingfu's idea has some merit, but with the wisdom of King Yan, he will never think of it, and there is no need for us to be diligent and wade into ......troubled waters."

Wang Yan was not happy to hear it, what is this called, we are also important ministers of the court, why can't we speak? It's just that after a few lessons, Wang Yan became much more honest and simply closed his mouth.

Wang Anshi pondered for a long time, "I'll go and visit King Yan and prepare a car for me!" ”

……

When the prime minister arrived, Wang Ningan chose to greet him in the garden.

"Brother Jiefu, I knew you were coming, so I specially prepared a few side dishes, let's talk while eating."

Wang Anshi nodded, he sat on the opposite side, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang Yaxing is like this, which shows that he is full of certainty, it seems that my worries are superfluous!" ”

Wang Ningan waved his hand again and again, laughing at himself: "Brother Jiefu, to put it mildly, if you have more lice, you won't bite, and if you have too many debts, you won't worry!" ＂

"Hahaha!"

Wang Anshi laughed loudly, "Yes, who doesn't look forward to the emergence of talented people under the door, but there are many elites, and it is also a troublesome thing." ”

"Brother Jiefu is overrated...... None of those little rabbit cubs have the pattern of Brother Jiefu...... I taught them too many skills, but I didn't teach them the art of mind-setting! What a shame! Teach others in vain. ”

The prince waved his hand, "The prince said so, I should be ashamed, don't forget, I'm still their main examiner!" If you knew this was the case, wouldn't you have admitted them? ”

"Brother Jiefu, is this true?"

The reluctant Xianggong hesitated for a moment and smiled dumbly, "Even if you know this, you can't bear to bury your talents!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, staggered, and drank for a while before leading the topic to the right path.

"I will not agree to transfer the railway to the private sector."

"Hmm. Is there any discussion on the proportion of shares? Wang Anshi said curiously.

Wang Ningan hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "Brother Jiefu, the construction of the railway will occupy a lot of land resources, so we must make sure that every road has its value, if the power of the private sector is introduced, I am worried that there will be a lot of duplicate construction, and it will also drag down the efficiency of the railway network, at least until the overall road network is completed, I will not consider it." ”

Wang Anshi bowed his head to show understanding.

continued to drink again until a pot of wine was drunk, and Wang Ningan wanted to get it, but the reluctant minister stopped him.

"You can drink the wine later, but you still have to come up with this method." Wang Anshi paused, "I have a plan, maybe it can be done." ”

He was about to continue, but Wang Ningan stretched out his hand to stop him, he pointed to the wine glass, embarrassed the guild, dipped the remaining wine, and wrote two words on the table, Wang Ningan also wrote two words, they looked up at each other, and immediately laughed.

"Sure enough, it's the same as what the hero sees, Brother Jiefu is really my bosom friend!"

Wang Anshi was also very happy, "Since you are a bosom friend, then you will not get drunk and go home!" ”

"Okay, I'll go get the best wine, and I'll fry two dishes with my own hands when I get back!" Wang Ning'an's interest was quite high.

"Don't be so troublesome, and you don't have a taste for poor wine."

"Poor wine?" Wang Ningan said with a smile: "After drinking this glass of wine, I will not be poor from now on!" ”

What kind of dumb riddle are these two people playing?

To put it bluntly, the court owes so much money, but don't forget, the court still has all kinds of power in its hands! Tax increases, fare increases, these are too pediatric.

The most direct move is two words: "issuing money".

The solution is very simple, but why doesn't anyone dare to mention it?

It's really too lethal, if you don't get it right, you will be planted in it! Moreover, the issuance of banknotes will also affect the power of the financial group, the power of this group of people in the Great Song Dynasty is not weak, if you don't guess wrong, behind Sima Guang is the financial group!
