Speaking of which, it is not Wang Ningan who has been attacked the most recently, but the reluctant Xianggong.

Various newspapers have dug up a lot of content, and have gradually blamed Wang Anshi for the case, saying that his new law caused the decay of the countryside, and the persecution of the examination law made the local officials have to take risks. It is definitely harsh and fiercer than the tiger, some people also compare Wang Anshi to Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, saying that he has a honey belly sword, nominally in order to change the law, but in fact he wants to harm the Great Song Dynasty, and some people even turned out the holy precept of Taizu, pointing out that the southerners cannot be the prime minister, Wang Anshi was born in the south and harbored evil intentions.

Obviously, not many of these remarks can stand up to scrutiny, but through the case, people's emotions have risen, and they can't distinguish right from wrong.

In everyone's opinion, Zhou Feng is right, and Lu Yan is also excusable, both are right. In such a big case, someone has to be a bad guy, right? Therefore, all kinds of dirty water were splashed on Wang Anshi's body.

It's unlucky enough to be awkward.

When Wang Ningan arrived, Wang Anshi was already lying on the hospital bed, and an ice towel was put on his head.

Seeing Wang Ning'an coming, he struggled to sit up, his face full of shame.

"The old man was supposed to visit the prince, but he was seriously ill and had to invite the prince over. Ashamed, ashamed. Wang Anshi's voice was weak, as if he was really sick.

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "People eat grains, and there is no one who does not get sick." Brother Jiefu still has to take care of his illness, and the court situation of the Great Song Dynasty is still pointing to you to bear it! ”

Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said very desolately: "Lord Wang, the old man is not done, in Zhou Feng's case, the old man is already exhausted, at a loss, and in a dilemma. Wang Ningan's face was sad, and he sighed again and again, he said that he had the heart to change the law and try to be strong, save the country and save the people.

But after working for so many years, he ended up like this, he was ashamed, he wanted to resign from the position of second minister and return to the countryside.

In the past, there was a gunpowder explosion and a change in the sky, but Wang Anshi didn't leave, but this time there was such a case, and he was leaving, which was really incredible.

Wang Ning'an was frightened, where can I put Wang Anshi now, the drunkard has no intention of government affairs, and it is clear that it will not be long in the future, if Wang Anshi does not stand up, will he let those old goods come back? At the moment, Sima Guang's prestige is not enough, and Wang Ningan has no other candidates in his hands, if he really hands over the court situation to Wen Yanbo or Jia Changchao, who can rest assured!

"Brother Jiefu, you have worked hard for many years and spent countless efforts to change the law, and you can't bear to let others spoil the new law?"

Wang Anshi suddenly smiled, "Lord Wang, to put it mildly, the new law is like my Wang Anshi's son, where can it be easily handed over to others, and I don't want others to be corrupted!" Therefore, Wang chose an excellent person to succeed him and continue to implement the change. ”

"Who?" Wang Ningan asked in surprise.

Wang Anshi stretched out his fingers, pointed at Wang Ningan's nose, and laughed: "Lord Wang, besides you, who else is more suitable?" ”

"What?" Wang Ningan was taken aback, and he exclaimed, "Brother Jiefu, you're not joking, are you?" Everyone in the world can be the ruler, but I can't enter the political hall! ”

"Wrong! No one is suitable, but the prince can! ”

Wang Anshi suddenly raised his voice, and he said loudly: "Lord Wang, in fact, everyone can see that you are in a high position and have been crowned a prince, so it stands to reason that you should not enter the main political hall, let alone get involved in government affairs." But...... Today's Great Song is different. Wang Anshi was enthusiastic and said excitedly: "Because of the change, the official system of the Great Song Dynasty has been adjusted, a bunch of waste has been cut, and countless cadres have been added, everyone has their own duties, even if they are the prime minister, they can't empty the imperial power!" So I'm worried that the prince will take over the power and threaten the throne, so I can't do it at all! ”

Wang Ningan reserved what he said.

But he also has to admit that in today's Great Song Dynasty, the checks and balances are becoming more and more complete, and with a developed newspaper, a little big and small matter will be known to the world, and there is no doubt that it will increase the difficulty of plotting the dynasty and usurping the throne countless times!

"Lord Wang, since the change of the law, government affairs have increased more than a hundredfold! Moreover, Zhou Feng's case tells everyone that in the future, it will no longer be possible to use turbidity, good or bad, right and wrong to make decisions on government affairs...... Therefore, it is necessary to have a capable talent, familiar with various affairs, good at planning, highly respected, clear-headed, and able to steer the helm for the Great Song Dynasty...... Who else could this person have besides the prince? The old man dared to implore the prince, for the sake of the common people in the world, don't avoid it! The eldest husband should be the one, the prime minister, who is the prince? ”

These few words are impassioned, passionate, dare to be reluctant and have the ability to fool people, Wang Ningan also discovered for the first time, it turns out that I have so many advantages, why haven't I found it before?

His head was a little hot, but it quickly cooled down.

"Brother Jiefu, you want to roast me on the fire!"

"That's right, the old man wants to put the prince on the fire, but I believe that real gold is not afraid of fire!" Wang Anshi waved his arm and called out loudly, "Lord Wang, don't hesitate, so many people are looking at you, the hope of the world, you must pick up this burden!" Don't let everyone down! ”

I have to say that Wang Anshi's enthusiasm made Wang Ningan a little unbearable.

"Brother Jiefu, I'm a vassal king, how can I be the prime minister?"

"Big fallacy! Lord, why are you still entangled in your identity! Your Majesty believes in you, the prince relies on you, and you can't do without changing the law! You can't sit idly by and watch what you do or don't do, so why not just say it and pick up the burden. Now that the law has reached the most critical juncture, if you can't hold on, you will inevitably end up with the Qingli New Deal, Lord, can you bear it? ”

To be honest, Wang Ningan was a little confused, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect that Wang Anshi would actually pick a son.

In his impression, Wang Anshi is a person who will never turn back, even if he offends the people of the world, he will not hesitate to do so, he is a person who admits death and drills the horns of the bull!

How could he give up the phase and be willing to let Xian, it can't be explained!

"Brother Jiefu, you're not joking, are you?"

Wang Anshi smiled with emotion, "Lord Wang, the old man just has a few heartfelt words to tell you." ”

……

In the next quarter of an hour, Wang Anshi kept talking and told Wang Ningan what he thought.

In fact, without the gold of the Western Regions, the level of urbanization of the Great Song Dynasty was very high, and in the original history, there were as many as 30%.

With the invention of cement, military orders, and the opening of trade routes, the urbanization of the Great Song Dynasty was advancing rapidly, and various problems emerged one after another.

In the past, the changes were so successful that people turned a blind eye to them and thought they didn't matter.

It wasn't until the Zhou Feng case broke out that there was time to look back at various issues.

Today, there are about twenty or thirty developed cities in the Great Song Dynasty, and each city is constantly absorbing everything around it, in other words, hundreds of states and counties are facing the dilemma of blood loss.

"Lord Wang, some people are taking advantage of the Zhou Feng case to force the political hall to delegate financial power, keep more taxes in the local government, or come up with some financial budgets to fill the local gap. It was also suggested that the Royal Bank should be abolished and that local governments should be allowed to set up their own banks to support their own industries...... What does the prince think? ”

Wang Ningan took a deep breath and shook his head, "No, absolutely not!" Wang Ningan had already thought about it. If he can solve the problem by throwing money, is he still so worried!

The industry and finance of the Great Song Dynasty are still in a stage that has just emerged, and it is far from having the spare power to feed agriculture.

Moreover, in the era of industry, certain conditions are needed to develop the economy. Many prefectures, counties and regions are not suitable for the development of industry and commerce at all, and even if they invest huge sums of money, they will not have much profit.

There are too many things to do in the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't afford to waste at all. Even if there is still money and spare strength, wouldn't it be better to use it to fight the Western Xia, the Liao Kingdom, and expand the territory?

Who are those who ask for financial power, Wang Ningan knows clearly.

The big families represented by the Han family had opposed the reform of the Jin Yuan before, and this time they had the opportunity, how could they not fight for their own interests, but the imperial court could not bow to them at all.

Wang Anshi sighed: "Someone must be responsible for this case, if the old man does not resign from the office, he will not be able to explain, and they will continue to make trouble." Until the imperial court was forced to give up its financial power. If that's the case, the change will be wasted, so the old man resigned to protect the success of the change! Lord, please, take it! ”

Wang Anshi was sincere, and I have to say that Wang Ningan was really tempted, and he hesitated a little.

"Brother Jiefu, you, are you really willing to return to the countryside?"

Wang Anshi's face flushed slightly, he raised his head and laughed at himself, "The old man is not yet the year of the Mandate of Heaven this year, how can he be willing to be an old Lin Quan!" It's just that the old man is a little confused and confused. ”

"The old man has been a magistrate for nearly 20 years, and he thinks he understands the people's sufferings, the Qingmiao Law, the Fangtian Tax Law, the Exemption Law, and the City Easy Law...... These decrees are the result of the old man's painstaking thinking...... It's just that when it is really implemented, not all of them are beneficial to the country and the people, on the contrary, there are many people who suffer from it! The old man knows that there are too many people scolding me, but I can't help it, I can't change it easily, once I retreat, the whole change will be unsustainable. The old man can only hold on to his head! ”

Wang Anshi said earnestly: "Until this case appeared, the old man found that there were many new problems, which he had never thought of before. I don't know how to solve it, continue to let the old man stay in the phase, it's just a corpse vegetarian meal, and it's just a lot of mistakes! The old man has an idea, I want to travel all over the world! ”

This one is really chic! Wang Ningan didn't know what to say.

"Speaking of which, it was the prince who inspired the old man, and you asked Sima Guang to go to the local area to find a way to solve the problem of green salt. He also told him that the knowledge that came out of his feet was ten thousand times more useful than that he got from books! Over the years, Sima Junshi has not mentioned the unity of knowledge and action. The old man pushed the change to this step, and I didn't know what to do next, I didn't know it, and I couldn't do it. ”

"The old man wants to really go to the people, to the counties, to the mountain villages, to see how the people are doing? Who is good for changing the law and who is not good for it, and how to make trade-offs. Or three or five years, or ten or eight years, as long as the old man thinks clearly, he will come back! ”

"So, the affairs of the court and the central government all depend on the prince!"

The history is all in ashes

Do you see that? The little one is finally straightened out...... Don't bother with it......
