The five important ministers, one of whom is an old Pang who is in the prime minister, have to be timid for three points, and it is good to be lucky to survive, but Wang Ning'an, if he lifts his weight lightly, he defeated them in a few words, and he also provoked Zhao Zhen's reproach, and several ministers lost face.

Guangguang's careful liver kept calculating, he already thought highly of Wang Ningan, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that Wang Ningan was terrible!

If you take this step by yourself, you may be able to escape death, or you will be on the rise...... Guangguang thought a lot, but Wang Ningan didn't take it very seriously.

When he was in the capital, he singled out the entire political affairs hall, and the battle was not much better than this!

For him, these are small things, and what really matters is what to do next.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are two things that must be prepared."

Zhao Zhen said: "One is Western Xia, and the other is tax?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Ning'an went straight in, "Xixia is embarrassed, and has long been looking forward to opening up the field and resuming trade. However, we must not let the Western Xia grasp the initiative in trade, and must make full use of the contradictions of the Western Xia and turn trade into a means to divide the Western Xia aristocracy, just like dealing with the Liao State! ”

Wang Ningan called Sima Guang over and asked him to introduce the situation in Western Xia, and Sima Guang immediately gushed and told Zhao Zhen what he had observed concisely.

Guangguang is very handsome, polite, talkative, and decent, the more Zhao Zhen looks at it, the happier he becomes, he actually let go of the matter of Western Xia, and proposes to let Sima Guangxiu live in the house!

This official is not big, but the problem is that he follows the emperor's ass every day, and everything is clear. As long as you can do things, you can have a good relationship with the emperor, ascend to the sky in one step, take over as a bachelor of Hanlin, and then save some qualifications, and it is not difficult to pay homage to the prime minister!

All in all, being able to repair the living note is equivalent to stepping on the fast track to promotion...... Rao is Guangguang City Mansion is extremely deep, and he can't help but be excited.

He took refuge in Wang Ning'an, and sure enough, he made the right move, and actually directly became a close minister of the Son of Heaven, replaced by a mediocre person, at most he has seniority, but who is Guangguang, he is sure to serve Zhao Zhen well, and he is even more sure to imperceptibly influence Zhao Zhen's decision-making, give him a little time, and make himself as big as your ministers!

Of course, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are reserved and will not agree easily, and they must come to the thatched house three times before they can twist and pinch to agree, Guangguang wants to refuse according to the convention.

How do you know that Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Master Sima has learned from his family and has the courage to do things, so let him cultivate his daily life, is it overkill?" According to Chen's meaning, the economic war against Western Xia must be done by Lord Sima! ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Ning'an and sneered: "In this world, I'm afraid that only Wang Qing thinks that it is not important to repair the living note?" ”

Wang Ningan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Zhao Zhen said: "In this way, let Sima Aiqing assist Wang Qing first, arrange the affairs of Western Xia, and when he makes meritorious contributions and cultivates the living note, no one will say anything." ”

The light was silent, but secretly I was almost moved to cry, this master didn't admit it in vain.

Wang Ning'an, this is a routine!

Although Guangguang came back from the Western Xia, it was very controversial, and he was defeated before, and suddenly occupied a good position, so there must be a lot of people who were red-eyed, and even if he sat down, he might not be able to sit firmly.

Wang Ning'an came to advance and retreat, he deliberately said that the residence note was not important, pushed Sima Guang to the front desk, gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and then occupied the position of the residence note in advance, and came to a Bao Yuan'er, and all the good things were occupied by their masters and apprentices.

Of course, this also requires Zhao Zhen's cooperation, Wang Ningan is very confident, the emperor will not refute face, not that Zhao Zhen obeys him, the problem is that Pang Ji and they have made a place, which makes Zhao Zhen very unhappy.

In the whole of Luoyang, there are too few officials who can be called Zhao Zhen's henchmen, and the emperor can't do everything himself, he urgently needs a few helpers who can be used.

Guangguang has no time to appreciate the mystery, but he can be sure that he is extremely Tailai and has good luck!

The master is powerful, and the apprentice can't be ashamed!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the minister of the Western Xia State is insatiable and greedy, and the share of 300,000 stones is opened, and if he does not hide the false Pang, he will definitely monopolize it, and it is difficult for other tribes to divide it, and they will definitely make trouble with each other, and it seems that the court should start from here!"

Obviously, a belly of books was not read in vain.

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "The share on the surface is reserved for the unhidden Pang, but as for the secret, it can be given ten times to other tribes, so that they have the strength to challenge the unhidden Pang and set off civil strife in Western Xia!" ”

Zhao Zhen bowed his head, but Guangguang was confused, it was the second time he had heard Wang Ning'an mention that the green salt trade in Western Xia was not just 300,000 stones, it would be expanded, it would be increased tenfold and hundredfold, and the door would be opened, sir, what kind of calculation are you making?

"If you can use it well, 300,000 stones are enough for Xixia dogs to bite dogs, if all of them are open, it will be like feeding eagles, and you will inevitably be full of food, so you still have to think twice!"

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Lord Sima, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, open the Western Xia Qing Salt, this sharp sword is not to cut down the Western Xia, the real target is those fat and oily salt merchants!" The salt law of the imperial court. It's time for the tax laws to change! This is the second eagle! ”

……

Coming out of the palace, Sima Guang felt that the whole person was not good, he never imagined that Wang Ningan's abacus was so big! It is not enough to be a Western Xia, but also to include the salt merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

Two strong enemies, offended together, sir, sir, you are really high-spirited!

Guangguang suddenly felt that his apprenticeship with Wang Ning'an was another mistake, this guy dared to do anything, sooner or later, when he was in trouble, it was really dangerous to follow him!

Wang Ningan doesn't care about the nervous Sima Guang, this kid still sees the world too small, and he is inevitably afraid, and he always has to adapt to it for a while in order to keep up with his rhythm.

Wang Ningan was not worried that Guangguang would betray him, he was not a fool, could it be that if he turned, those people would accept him? Apparently not!

Knowing that there was a pit in front of him, Guangguang was about to close his eyes and jump with him.

Now it is those people who should be careful, although they were killed in front of the emperor, can they be willing?

The affairs of the world can be settled by reasoning, so what else does the court do?

Wang Ningan dared to say that those who were defeated would definitely get together, and perhaps at this time they were already discussing how to deal with it next.

Don't say it, it did make Wang Erlang guess it.

Pang Ji and they left the palace first, and Zhao Zhen left Wang Ning'an and Sima Guang alone.

Pang Ji looked up at the sun in the sky, a little dazzling!

Although the emperor did not name and scold himself, he also pointed out that he did not know the severity, and clearly said that he was a troublemaker in private letters, lustful for profit, regardless of the overall situation, and did not care about the major affairs of the court, only thinking about salt and profit, thinking about small gangs...... If this goes down, it will be a clique for personal gain.

Pang Ji is a gentleman with integrity, he is against opening up green salt, but after careful consideration, the best choice at the moment is indeed to open green salt, in addition, the cost of other methods is too high.

Pang Ji thought for a long time before he said: "A few of you go and talk to the following, let everyone be patient for a few days, and negotiate peace with Xixia for the time being, or it won't be long before there will be a falling out again, and then stop Qingyan." There will be a little loss, but after all, national affairs are important, and if the trouble continues, the old man will not be able to protect everyone. ”

The old man poured out his heart and lungs and said it very truthfully, but these people didn't want to listen.

"Pang Xianggong, this plan is by no means simple. I'm afraid that once it is opened, there will be endless troubles. ”

"How?" Pang Ji said curiously.

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "Old Xianggong, in recent years, the strength of merchants in Hebei has become more and more huge, running around staking land, stretching out their hands very long, opening up the green salt of Western Xia, and Western Xia is also bound to purchase materials from the Great Song Dynasty. Once the Hebei merchants and the Western Xia directly hooked up, there would be no business for everyone. ”

Pang Ji didn't know much about business matters, Liu Ji and others kept begging, as if without the benefit of salt, they were going to hang themselves and throw themselves into the river, and they couldn't survive.

What really scares these grandsons is the words "direct trade".

At the beginning, Wang Ningan promoted it in Hebei, because there was already a field between Song and Liao, but there were too many restrictions, and Wang Ningan broke the shackles, which was to take advantage of the trend.

The northwest was different, as the Great Song Dynasty imposed stricter sanctions on the Western Xia.

If Western Xia wanted to obtain the materials of the Great Song Dynasty, they had to go through smuggling channels, so a huge smuggling group was created. These people eat two ends and take advantage of it.

For example, the Western Xia transported green salt, only 5 wen yuan per catty, and when they got it to Luoyang, they could sell it for 25 wen, and an ordinary silk horse of the Great Song Dynasty was sold for 2 yuan, and it was sold to the Western Xia, which was worth 5 yuan.

Back and forth, the huge profits are amazing.

If there was direct trade, how could the Western Xia be willing to be exploited by them?

Even if the trade is closed in the future, and other merchants intervene to come in, the big families in the northwest should not want to monopolize the smuggling business, at least the momentum of the Hebei merchants is very strong, the funds are abundant, they have attractive products in their hands, and they do business fairly, never eat and wipe clean, and they are much better than them.

"Old man, no matter what, you can't leave it alone!"

Pang Ji was angry when he was said, and roared: "Tube? What does the old man do? Your Majesty has also looked for it, is it possible that you want to let the old man die? Looking at the current meaning, even if the old man is willing to die, His Majesty may not listen. That's it, the old man is tired, you all stand down! ”

I didn't care about them, just flicked my sleeves and went to the back to rest.

……

Liu Ji gritted his teeth and asked Xi Ruyan and Zhang Nunu mouth, and they came out of Pang's mansion and arrived at Liu Ji's house.

"Damn, what an old fox!" Liu Ji scolded: "Pang Ji is afraid of losing the position of prime minister, let's not be afraid!" In any case, the business path cannot be broken, and whoever grabs the way of wealth with us is not the same as the sky!! ”

Xi Ruyan said: "That's right, the so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, and if you can't say that you want to move Your Majesty, you can start from somewhere else, no matter what, you have to block it!" ”

Three days later, more than a dozen states and counties suddenly attacked together, and the Xixia green salt that had been transported was prevented from entering the county, and hundreds of people clamored, saying that they would not eat the salt of Xixia if they died!
