The Northwest Frontier Region was included in the scope of Wang Anshi's reforms, which fully embodied Wang Anshi's guiding ideology of 'enriching the country and strengthening the army'. From Xining to Yuanfeng, from the opening of the Wang Shaoxi River to Li Xian's recovery of Lanzhou, from the establishment of Xihe Road to the expansion of Xihe Lanhui Road, with the continuous expansion of the border area, the new law has been popularized in the new area.

In terms of land development, the government has repeatedly allocated official money to purchase land from local ethnic minorities, and the official job land is also redeemed by the government, coupled with the initiative of ethnic minorities to donate land, as well as a large number of idle land along the border obtained through the war, so that the government has rich land resources.

At the same time, land development has also increased the degree of support for producers with poor production conditions, especially those of ethnic minorities. In the area of financial management, we have set up institutions such as the Municipal Department of Ease Affairs, the Department of Economic System, Border Defense, and Financial Utilization, which are specialized in financial management, and have made full use of the favorable conditions of the four streams of goods and goods and the abundant natural resources in the areas of "Zhubo salt, wine, tea, market trade, pit metallurgy, timber and wood, wine workshops, coinage, jiaozi, and salt banknotes, so as to meet military expenditures and government operating expenses, and to shift from a single land development to an all-round comprehensive operation."

The development of land and the rise of border trade, the increasing and close contact between the Song and the ethnic groups in the northwest, the continuous annexation of the Tibetan nationality and the continuous westward expansion of the Han nationality, the development of the trade market in the border areas, the standardization and improvement of the organization of the Tibetan soldiers, the mixed living and mutual assistance of the Tibetan and Han people, the common cultivation of land, and the learning of various ethnic groups. Influence each other. Gradual integration. The government opened the Fan School, granted land, and gave Han surnames, and educated ethnic minorities through pragmatic economic and cultural policies, thus gaining a dominant position in human resources, natural resources, trade, and military affairs, and obtaining a war logistics supply base, thus achieving an extremely powerful strategic situation

"Does the prince want to implement the new law of Yuan Yu in the northwest?" As soon as Yang Shi heard it, he knew that what the prince said was one of the generals' art of war, and asked in surprise.

"Isn't the new law bad?" Zhao Ta felt bad when he heard it, what he was most afraid of was internal discord, and the old and new parties had been fighting for decades over the rise and fall of the new law. As a result, countless momentary heroes were involved, causing a great political disaster, and in the end, 'gentlemen competed with each other, and villains gained power'. exhausted the last bit of blood of the Great Song Dynasty, which led to rampant traitors, political **, and the death of the country, but he still asked calmly.

"My subordinates think that now that the government is rotten and the people are suffering, they are all due to the new law, and I ask the prince to be cautious!" Yang Shi Zhengse said.

"Mr. Kameyama, what do you think this is?" Zhao Ta suddenly took out the short knife he was wearing, put it on a few and asked. Yang Shi was startled, and his body couldn't help but shrink back, knocking over a few teacups.

"The prince is angry, don't use your weapons in vain!" Xu Zongheng hurriedly grabbed the hand of the prince holding the knife.

"Lord Wang, Mr. Kameyama has no malicious intent!" Zhou Xingji shook his hand nervously, legend has it that Prince Yan often swords and guns face each other, fists and feet, it seems that what he said is true, today is a knowledge, this is to force each other to death!

"Lord Wang. Sage Yun 'Wealth cannot be lewd, and power cannot be bent', can coercing people with blades make me wait to submit? Chen Dong stood up abruptly and said.

"Hehe, why do you say this, I'm just asking you what it is!" Zhao Ta straightens the teacup. took out a silk scarf and unhurriedly wiped away a few traces of water, and poured tea again for Yang Shi and smiled. It was as if I didn't see their nervous and angry looks.

"Short Knife!" Chen Dong didn't know what he meant, and he didn't look like he was going to hurt people if he didn't agree with him, he looked at the knife on the table, sat down again and said, but he was still puzzled.

"Yes, this is a short knife that was once the saber of Chage, the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty, but it is made of fine iron and forged by famous craftsmen in the Western Xia. Zhao Ta nodded and said, but he didn't explain what he meant, just kept praising the knife.

"Well, it's a good knife!" Xu Zongheng took the knife in his hand and played with it for a while and nodded, but did not put the knife back on it, but handed it to Zhou Xingji beside him.

"This knife in my hand and on Chago's body is really just an ornament, no different from a piece of scrap metal, it can be described as a sword covered with dust, but if it is placed in the hands of a soldier, it can drink the blood of the enemy, behead the enemy, and help him establish his deeds; If it falls into the hands of a butcher, it is nothing more than killing pigs and dogs to help him feed his family; It is necessary to obtain for a cook, that is, the ordinary quick knife for chopping meat and vegetables; For the woodcutter's income, he can only chop trees and chop wood, and he may not think it is easy enough" Zhao Ta didn't seem to notice Xu Zongheng's small movements, and said leisurely.

"The meaning of the prince is to use the sword as a metaphor for the law, and the 'law' is good, but it is in the hands of different people, and there will be different results!" The people here are all smart people, and there are two 'prodigies', and they don't have Alzheimer's, but after a little thought, they understood what the prince meant, Xu Zongheng said.

"Yes, that's what it means!" Zhao Ta said, "Although Cai Jing originated during the reign of Wang Jinggong, his younger brother Cai Bian was the son-in-law of Wang Jinggong. But Wang Jinggong did not appreciate Cai Jing, and it is said that he once pointed out: Cai Jing's 'how to know the system, a slaughter of Gu Er!' So Cai Jing and Wang Jinggong are not all the way, or even completely opposite! ”

"What the prince said is right, the two of them are indeed different!" Chen Guoting said at the beginning, "As far as personal virtue is concerned, Wang Jinggong is known for his bad reputation, not loving official positions, not making profits, being simple and straightforward, not grooming his family, being rude in food and clothing, and having no choice. And Cai Jing is famous for enjoying extravagance, he likes to eat quails, but sighs 'a soup of hundreds of lives, the next chop is not enough', and likes to eat crab roe steamed buns, blindly for more than 1,300 yuan; he likes to burn incense and smoked clothes, the room is full of fog, and the clothes are fragrant; his famous garden is forbidden in the palace, and in the house, there are groups of concubines, and Murong and others are all feudal ladies. ”

"Although Wang Jinggong does not love official positions, once he is in power, he will try his best to do it, and he will always do it, even Mr. Lianshui thinks that 'there is no other person in Jiefu. But stubborn'. Yang Shi also had to admit that the two were different.

"Cai Jing was a high-ranking official when he was young. It was rumored that when he was studying, he asked divination, and the diviner said that "this military attache has a great mission, and he has no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no hope for him." Cai Jing actually fell seriously ill because of this, which led to a joke, which shows how much he draws on wealth and wealth. Moreover, he is extremely fickle and good at tactfulness, and after the great movement of the Divine Sect, the old party gained power. Cai Jing turned the rudder with the wind and immediately turned to support Mr. Shushui, who demanded that the errand service law be restored within five days, but all the officials said that it was difficult to complete it as scheduled. is the only one who has been hired in Gi County, and there is no violator; Zhezong was pro-government, and the New Party gained power again, and Cai Jing immediately changed his body again, and immediately said: Take Xining into the implementation of the law. It can be seen that it is cunning, and in the past ten years, Beijing has been doing it again, and it has become a backhand, before and after. It is the turn of the hand for the clouds and the hand for the rain! Chen Dong said indignantly, despising him very much.

"Wang Jinggong and the monarchs and ministers of Shenzong have a very good time, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime time, but Wang Jinggong has been bluntly admonishing Shenzong from time to time, and even facing court disputes. If you are friends with you, if you don't agree with your will, you will face it and repeat all kinds of difficulties, so that the master is weak; And everything in Beijing is favored by the saints, and the tribute is beautiful. Started construction, transported flowers and stones, and seduced the heart of the master, not just blindly welcomed, he was the minister of state. Aiming for the king. Xu Zongheng said.

In a word, Wang Jinggong is a gentleman and a minister. And Cai Jing is a complete traitorous minister, how can Wang and Cai be confused! Zhao Ta concluded with a smile.

"Well, what the prince said makes people have an epiphany, the irreconcilable contradiction between Wang Jinggong and Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Lianshui is that Wang Jinggong sees that he is changing the law in good faith, serving the country and the people, and the warehouse is full, and the tax has increased sharply. However, what Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Lianshui saw were the various problems in the implementation of the new law and the actual social effects. If you look at the problem from a different angle and have a completely different conclusion, the contradictions will of course not be reconciled! Chen Dong high-fived and said,

"You can say that, so to speak!" Zhao Tan smiled and said, but his heart said that sure enough, the 'young man' dared to say it, but it also got to the point, Sima Guang, who was highly politically sensitive back then, sensed the inappropriateness of the change, but the specific inappropriateness was limited to his knowledge, he could not make a very accurate description, and could only explain the reason why he opposed the change through some evil consequences caused by the change, and kept arguing with Wang Anshi in front of Song Shenzong, but he could not make a strong argument for the change plan, and could only cover it up with the word "inappropriate", which caused Shenzong to think that he was making trouble unreasonably. He also had to leave Luoyang.

"The sage has the distinction between 'body, essence and righteousness, Wang Jinggong is a disciple of the sage, and he also reads the book of the sage, but his so-called 'changing customs, legislating the law, the most urgent thing is now... With courtesy, righteousness and shame, the gentleman is out of the way', and 'when you think deeply about the national body, there is a priority and urgency', everything is for wealth, which is against the will of the saint! Yang Shi said.

"Mr. Kameyama's words are not bad, but saints are also human beings, and saying these words in his time and environment is just like a drought and a rainstorm, the stars are changing, and time has passed, and now that a thousand years have passed, some words are a little out of place!" Zhao Ta took a sip of water and said, he understood that he and these Confucians were talking about this, and the ten tied together were not one, so they could only be guided pragmatically, "The Xining reform of the year was to solve the problem of insufficient national use or the lack of government treasury as an urgent task, not to develop the people's livelihood and economy as an urgent task, and its actions and words commonly used financial management, it is indeed inconsistent with the language of the sage and the national system, and Emperor Shenzong blindly emphasized that 'today's financial management is the most urgent task', Wang Jinggong also had to bow down and cater to this will, so as to provoke political disputes and even party disputes among courtiers!" ”

Several people listened to Zhao Ta's novel and reasonable words, and nodded frequently, Zhao Ta changed his words and said: "But the fault is that Wang Jinggong used inappropriate ways and inappropriate people to do things at that time, if he used Fan Gongzhongyan's words about thick agricultural mulberry and open canals, etc., to implement the 'farmland and water conservancy law', I am afraid that the matter will be more acceptable to most of the world, and it will not cause party disputes; and Emperor Shenzong and Wang Wang Jinggong vigorously implemented the new law, causing the 'old party' princes to retreat, and the 'new party' can only promote some people who are not excellent in character and learning." The man of wealth and profit', he has committed a major taboo in the government's timing, strategy, and line of employing people, and has laid the foundation for the more intense party struggle and the further and worse change of the new party in the future. ”

"It is reasonable that when people today comment on the rights and wrongs between the old and new parties, they all think that most of the old parties are gentlemen, and the new party is full of villains except for Wang Jinggong." Chen Guoting interjected, "Now that I think about it, Wang Jinggong can't get the support of the important ministers in the court, so he has to find those newcomers who are eager to improve. But these people not only lack experience, but also regard the change of the law as a step into the body, and their motives are not pure. ”

"In Xining's change of law, it is precisely because the officials are traitorous that the people are getting sick, and the promotion officials who implement the Qingmiao Law take more loans as meritorious, and do not care about the wealth of the people, and forcibly suppress the allocation. Officials at all levels have resorted to favoritism and irregularities in the name of the new law, competing with the people for profit, causing disturbances one after another. Zhao Ta shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Relying on such officials to implement the new law, the new law can only become another way for them to make money, no matter how fearless Wang Jinggong is, he can't change this bad habit of officialdom." It's a pity that Wang Jinggong was in a hurry, didn't check the use of people, and mistakenly imagined that the officials at all levels were like him as clean officials who shared worries for the country and asked for the people's lives. ”

"Alas, Grace Shihao also talked about it, the party struggle in the Xining period was originally what he wanted to avoid, although he and Wang Anshi are different, but they are also calm about things, and Jing Gong is also more moved, but those who speak well and straightly will want to attack and win, and Jing Gong and those who speak will become enemies!" Yang Shi thought that what the prince said was not unreasonable, "Later, the teacher said: Wang Jiefu is ruthless, and everyone thinks it is impossible, so the more persistent he is." Once the gentleman goes, he uses all villains, and he strives to be mean, so he harms the world deeply. So that the gentlemen are not against them, and if they are relieved for a long time, they are wronged, and there is still a reason to obey, then the villain has no gap to take advantage of, and its harm is not so bad. ”

'Wang Anshi's change' in later generations also has a lot of controversy, this aspect of Zhao Ta has also seen in his previous life, knowing that Yang Dao Yang actually has half a sentence he did not say, Cheng Yi later reflected and said: The reform of the new deal is also the struggle of our party is too much, and the achievement of today's things will ruin the world, and it is necessary to divide the crime in two. Now that Yang Shi knows the truth, whether he is unwilling to say it because of face, or he doesn't want to talk about his teacher's mistakes, Zhao Ta doesn't want him to come to the stage, so he just smiled and didn't expose his old bottom!

"Now that everyone understands, this king will not say much. As the saying goes: for one term as an official, for the benefit of one party, I just hope that we give up the old accounts of the old and new disputes, take the benefits, and use the benefits for the people and the country, but also do not forget the lessons, go astray again, and leave a good story in the northwest! Zhao Ta got up and said.

"I am willing to follow the king, seek benefits for the people, and be loyal to the country!" Everyone stood up and saluted in unison, and said loudly

I was busy for a few days, and finally picked out a new house and entered the decoration stage, which is also a big battle, and I want to save money and be comfortable. (To be continued.)
