Wang Anshi's expression was very firm, Chen Yuan smiled very easily, he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, because he had already made up his mind in his heart, even if it seemed impossible to try it himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Fan is now preparing to implement the new policy, what do you think?"

Two consecutive questions are the hottest topics in the court now, and Wang Anshi has obviously thought about these for a long time: "Back to my lord, the students think that the implementation of the new policy can completely alleviate the current disadvantages of my Great Song Dynasty, but the court has not moved yet, and the students are worried that if it drags on for a long time, there may be more troubles." ”

Chen Yuan leaned back, and his fingers lightly tapped twice on the tabletop: "What disadvantages will there be?" ”

Wang Anshi said: "Students think that when changing the law, they should be vigorous and resolute, and they can't drag the slightest mud and water. Like this New Deal, before it was implemented, news had already spread among the people, and those who opposed the New Deal would come up with various strategies to counter it. In particular, every page of Yoo Yong's newspaper has a large discussion of the New Deal, which is really inappropriate. ”

Chen Yuan looked at him and couldn't help but think in his heart, isn't he really wrong? But as soon as this concept came to an end, Chen Yuan forcibly pressed it. He firmly believes that he is not wrong, and that the change must be done slowly.

Just as he was about to talk about his own concept, a person dressed as a scholar suddenly stood up at the table next to him, and walked straight towards Wang Anshi: "Brother Tai is surprised, the new policy will not solve any problems, if it is forcibly implemented, it will inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

Chen Yuan glanced at the scholar, who was about the same age as Wang Anshi, but the tone of his voice revealed incomparable confidence.

Wang Anshi was robbed of a white sentence by him, and his face suddenly turned a little red: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, why will the new policy bring disaster to the country and the people?" ”

The man smiled, sat beside the two, and saluted the two of them with fists in his fists: "In Xia Sima Guang, disturb a cup of tea, the two of you won't drive me away, right?" ”

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth slowly bloomed into a smile, and he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Sima Guang: "I also want to know, which of Master Fan's ten policies is a disaster for the country and the people?" ”

Sima Guang had just returned to Bianjing to take up his post, and he didn't know Chen Yuan, even if he did, he would say whatever he should say: "All the rules are bad for the country, and the money is bad for the people!" ”

Wang Anshi is also a person with sharp words, and he is not inferior to Sima Guang in terms of tongue, and when he was about to get up to debate, Chen Yuan waved his hand and signaled him not to speak.

"Then you just tell me one by one."

Sima Guang was also not polite: "Let's talk about the 'Ming Dynasty' first, as soon as this law comes out, how many officials in the entire Great Song Dynasty will go home to farm?" These people are also scholars with status, and they can be dismissed from other people's official positions without any fault, and there is no such precedent in my Great Song Dynasty. The idea that promotion depends on grades is good, but who can say clearly what grades are? Doesn't that mean there are no standards? ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "The achievement is to see what he has done for the local people, if it is such a useless official, of course he must rush home." ”

Sima Guang said: "Okay, then let me ask Brother Tai, if a magistrate has people to sing praises for him, does that count as he has done a good job?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Of course!" ”

Sima Guang smiled: "There was a place before my Great Song Dynasty, when the emperor sent a messenger to inspect, he found that the roads in the place he governed were not forgotten, the houses were not closed at night, the people were simple, the roadside business was like weaving, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Should such a magistrate be promoted? ”

Chen Yuan nodded even more: "That's nature." ”

Sima Guang sighed: "It's a pity that Lord Qincha didn't promote him, but killed him." You know why? Because that person is the nephew of Taishi Pang of the Dynasty, and the Qin Cha who is in charge of the inspection is Master Bao. ”

When Chen Yuan answered him, he knew that he was going to fall into a trap, he just wanted to see what Sima Guang's trap was, and then said: "How can Brother Tai summarize the entire Great Song Dynasty with one thing? That Pang Yu is using deceptive means, how many people like that in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Sima Guang said: "Then how many people are there in the Great Song Dynasty, can they see through those people who destroy evil spirits?" If it is changed to other Qincha, coupled with the system of the New Deal, I think that Pang Yu will not only not be killed, but will also go straight up to the court, such a person is only a scourge in the local area, but when he enters the court, he will harm a country! ”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly at this time: "What you said makes sense." Then tell me again, how did Jungongtian bring disaster to the country and the people? ”

Sima Guang heard Chen Yuan's original intention to listen, and he also continued to speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "What is Jungongtian for?" Master Fan said that it was to take out the surplus public land and distribute it to the people who did not have good land. However, this does not solve any problem at all, and it is only a difference between more and less for the doctor. What will the people do after they get that bit of public land? Every year, he barely survives, and when he encounters a famine season, he still has to ask the rich to borrow grain, and if he doesn't pay it back for a long time, he still uses his land to pay off his debts. ”

Chen Yuan interjected: "But at least it can solve the current problem." ”

Sima Guang nodded: "What Brother Tai said is very true, and now it seems that dividing the public land to those displaced people can make them more stable." But what about later? If there is another year of famine like this, will the public land still be divided? At that time, were the scholars still willing to share? ”

Chen Yuan smiled very happily: "Go on." ”

Sima Guang also spoke more and more energetically for Chen Yuan, an audience who was willing to listen, refuting one by one, during which Wang Anshi wanted to refute many times, but Chen Yuan stopped him with his eyes. It can be seen that Sima Guang is a typical person who supports the current policy.

When he refuted the other nine articles, Chen Yuan suddenly asked, "There is also a martial arts cultivation, why don't you say it?" ”

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, I always think that in order to ensure the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a good policy to show virtue and cultivate the good way of the state." This cultivation of military equipment is not only a waste of money for the people, but also for those generals to enter the court! I think that we can only seek a place in the court after more than ten years of hard study, and those martial artists can be equal to us with their strength, is this fair? It's just that Banzai has now made up his mind, and we, as courtiers, should not say anything. ”

Chen Yuan heard it, he didn't object to this article, because Renzong was already doing this. But he still has a big opinion in his heart.

Chen Yuan slapped his face: "That's right, everything is reasonable." I was taught under it. ”

Sima Guang hugged his fist very politely: "Where is it, a little shallow opinion, it is really an honor to be recognized by Brother Tai, I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" When I see him today, I feel like I'm at home at first sight with my brother, and I hope I can communicate more with my brother in the future. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Under Chen Shimei." ”

Sima Guang smiled first: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Chen." ”

After saying this, his face changed greatly: "Chen Shimei? You, you? ”

Chen Yuan stood up: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Sima Guang, I'm just very strange, since you want to cultivate virtue, why did you write that article to Liu Yong on how to pacify the party? ”

Sima Guang quickly came back to his senses, but there was no smile on his face, he knew that Chen Shimei was the main force in implementing the new policy. This time, Pang Ji asked Sima Guang to come back, the main reason was that among those young people, many people chased after Chen Shimei and Ouyang Xiu, and he wanted to use Sima Guang's prestige among those young people to save some of the situation.

"Lord Chen will really take down the official Kaishabu, if the lower official knows Lord Chen's identity earlier, how can he think that he can convince Lord Chen!"

Chen Yuan was still smiling and poured a glass of water for Sima Guang: "I just want to know, why did you write that article about how to pacify the party?" Why don't you go to Huairou with virtue? ”

Sima Guang snorted: "Virtue and Huairou depend on who you are right with." For Li Yuanhao's kind of reality to use our Great Song Dynasty to fight against the Liao State, and then backhand to attack the Great Song Dynasty, do you use Huairou? ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "That makes sense." To be honest, I am very interested in the issues you just mentioned, and there are many of them that I have not thought about at all, such as the promotion of the officials, it seems that we are too anxious, and we must first introduce a more appropriate system. ”

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were both stunned, Sima Guang never thought that Chen Yuan would be able to listen to his opinion, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Yuan said at this time: "Let's do this first, Master Sima, I hope you can help me think about the system when you go back, and if you have any opinions, you can come to me at any time." I'm glad to see you here today. As for how we will exchange guns and swords in the court in the future, that will be a matter for the future. I'm here for a treat today, and I've made a friend. ”

Sima Guang let out a long sigh, he admired Chen Yuan's mind very much, and immediately clenched his fists: "Don't worry, Master Ma, this friend of yours is climbing high, but I still oppose your new policy, and this will never change." ”

Chen Yuan smiled and tapped his finger at Sima Guang: "I will succeed, you watch!" ”

Chen Yuan will really succeed, the reason is very simple, in fact, Fan Zhongyan's new deal is a very good change, don't look at Sima Guang as saying that it is useless, but this opportunity is really the best opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty to be reborn.

Historically, there is one of the main reasons why this reform failed, first of all, the concept of reform only sparked among a small group of people in the upper echelons of the elite group of scholars, and there was no consensus at all, let alone let the people and grassroots officials know about it.

This has changed because of the arrival of Chen Yuan, who is vigorously promoting the New Deal, and he lets the people and grassroots officials know what the New Deal is about. At the same time, the newspaper he started gave reformers and conservatives a platform to quarrel, and in the midst of the quarrel, there were actually many issues that could be agreed upon.

The second reason is that in history, Renzong's reform was completely a whim, and Fan Zhongyan was also in a hurry, which made this reform lack a certain organizational strength and seemed much hasty. There is a lack of planning and design for the timing and sequencing of the various reform undertakings from initiation to completion, as well as the guarantee measures that can be used as a surname. Gives the opponent a flaw in the attack.

But Chen Yuan will now let Renzong's whim continue, he will suggest that Fan Zhongyan do it one by one, such as the promotion of the official, Chen Yuan thinks that what Sima Guang said is very reasonable, if there is no perfect assessment mechanism for things like this, it is best not to take drastic medicine!

Reform is the kind of thing that cannot be rushed.

Chen Yuan was confident that he would succeed, and when he said this to Sima Guang, Sima Guang also smiled and bowed slightly: "The lower officials will wait and see." ”

Sima Guang and his companions all left, and when they left, those scholars also came to greet Chen Yuan, and when they left, Chen Yuan greeted Wang Anshi: "Anshi, let's go." ”

Wang Anshi stepped forward and whispered, "It's okay for adults to call me Jiepu." By the way, my lord, why didn't you ask the student to refute him just now? The student will be able to refute his teachings one by one. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "I believe you have that ability, but what can you refute one by one?" Can you convince him to change his position? ”

Wang Anshi was stunned, he really didn't have this certainty.

Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Since we can't change him, what's the harm if we listen to him after he finishes speaking?" Jiepu, you are very talented, but you have to remember that the opinion of your opponent is your best medicine. ”

Wang Anshi hugged his fists: "The student has been taught." ”

Chen Yuan suddenly said: "There is still a year before the autumn exam next year, are you interested in going to the party with me to do something?" ”

Wang Anshi was overjoyed to hear it, this was an opportunity for him, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Going to the party means being able to do things for the imperial court, so that after being admitted to the emperor's list, he will have a little more capital than others. At the moment, he said: "Thank you, Lord Chen! Students dare to disobey their fate! ”

Chen Yuan smiled, come over first, as long as Wang Anshi comes, Chen Yuan will be sure to let him follow him!
