Zhao Yan was talking to Wang Anshi, but he heard someone outside suddenly laughing and talking, and then a person pushed the door in, which made Zhao Yan also stand up in surprise and said, "Big brother, you ...... What are you doing here? ”

The person who came in was Zhao Yan's eldest brother Zhao Xuan, I saw him walk in with a spring breeze on his face, and when he saw Zhao Yan and Cao Song, he also laughed again, but when his eyes swept over Wang Anshi and Wang Yan father and son sitting next to him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he thought that there were only Zhao Yan and Cao Song here, but he didn't expect that there were outsiders.

"Third brother, I also heard that Brother Jiu'er came back, and it just so happened that I wanted to ask how the bank was doing, so I came uninvited, but I didn't expect you to have other guests here, but I don't know what to call these two?" Zhao Ji said with a smile at the moment, and looked at Wang Anshi and his son very curiously when he said the end.

Zhao Yan felt a little bad when he saw Zhao Ji come in, because in history, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi were like each other at first sight, especially in the early days of the change, Zhao Ji almost unreservedly and completely trusted Wang Anshi, although the general trend of history has changed, but no one knows what will happen to the two of them after they meet, so he doesn't know whether to introduce Wang Anshi to him.

However, in this case, it is impossible for Zhao Yan not to introduce him, so he had to stand up and introduce to Zhao Yan: "Big brother, this is Mr. Linchuan who agreed to the imperial court's recruitment to enter Beijing, and he happened to meet Brother Jiu on the road, so he came to the capital together, and now the news has not spread, otherwise there must be countless scholars who want to run to tell each other." ”

"Mr. Linchuan!" Zhao Ji was also shocked when he heard Zhao Yan's introduction. took a serious look at Wang Anshi at the moment, and found that the other party was indeed similar to the legendary Wang Anshi, which made him also overjoyed and took a step forward. "It turned out to be Mr. Linchuan, and I had heard of Mr.'s name for a long time, and I always wanted to see him, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity, I didn't expect to see Mr. in this situation!"

"Wang Mou, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Wang Anshi didn't expect to see Zhao Ji here, and he also bowed at the moment, and at the same time he was a little surprised in his heart. Because he found that Zhao Yan was not particularly supportive of his idea of changing the law, he was still a little worried about how to persuade the emperor. But he didn't expect to see Zhao Ji again now, which made him feel some hope again.

Seeing Zhao Yan's enthusiasm for Wang Anshi, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that it seemed that although he had influenced the direction of history. But it still doesn't have much impact on the fate of some people, such as the Empress Xiang, and the acquaintance of Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi in front of him, I hope Zhao Shu can live a few more years, so as not to let Zhao Wei ascend the throne and support Wang Anshi's change regardless of Qiē.

Zhao Ji has not only heard of Wang Anshi's name, he has actually carefully studied some of Wang Anshi's works, especially when Wang Anshi gave Emperor Renzong "Emperor Shangrenzong's Words and Affairs", and he was also very impressed by the systematic reform ideas in it. So he has admired Wang Anshi for a long time, and when he knew that Wang Anshi agreed to go out, he was secretly happy for a long time. But I didn't expect to see Wang Anshi here today.

Wang Anshi also figured out that Zhao Ji achieved his goal of changing the law, and Zhao Ji was indeed very interested in his idea of changing the law, so the two could be said to hit it off, and the conversation was very enthusiastic, and even Zhao Yan couldn't interject. At this time, Cao Song, who was sitting next to him and had been silent, suddenly leaned over to Zhao Yan and whispered: "Third brother, Mr. Linchuan doesn't really want to change the law, right?" ”

"How. Do you care about these too? Zhao Yan glanced at him angrily and said, if it weren't for Cao Song to bring Wang Anshi. He doesn't have to feast on the other party here, so that Zhao Yan won't see Wang Anshi, maybe there won't be a change of law, but Zhao Yan also knows that he is whimsical, after all, judging from Zhao Yan's attitude towards Wang Anshi, if he knew that the other party came to the capital, he would definitely go to visit, so he couldn't prevent the two from meeting at all.

"Of course I do!" Cao Song said a little anxiously at the moment, "Third brother, you think, the various disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty are actually nothing more than those things, our Cao family has a big business, whether it is land or business, although I don't know the content of Mr. Linchuan's change, but it should prevent land annexation and tax evasion, and even conceal the population, etc., but which of these things has not been done, and our Cao family alone has obtained countless wealth, if it is really changed, isn't it cutting meat from us?" ”

Cao Song didn't know in advance that Wang Anshi was determined to change the law, otherwise if he knew in advance, I am afraid he would not have entertained the other party so warmly, and he would have returned to Beijing with him, after all, for a wealthy family like the Cao family, the loopholes in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty made them take a great advantage, and if they changed the law, they would have to hemorrhage.

Hearing Cao Song's words, Zhao Yan immediately glanced at him and said: "Brother Jiu'er, your words are not right, although the interests of the family are important, but you should not forget, if there is no protection from the state, your family will have no foundation for survival, so I have no objection to you taking advantage of it, but don't only care about the family and ignore the country!" ”

Cao Song couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he actually forgot that the Great Song Dynasty was originally from Zhao Yan's family, and he took advantage of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, he took advantage of Zhao Yan, and it was nothing to take advantage of him, but he said it in front of him, which was indeed a little too reckless.

"Okay, there are a lot of loopholes in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also your ability to take advantage of them, but Brother Jiu'er, you must know that with the norms of the law, you can get more convenience, for example, your goods are transported to other places, and you must go through countless checkpoints on the way, many of these checkpoints are set up privately, but formulate a special commercial law to stipulate the tax on goods, then your goods will only need to pay taxes once, and you don't have to worry about being embarrassed at the checkpoints in other places." Seeing the embarrassed expression on Cao Song's face, Zhao Yan spoke again at the moment.

"That's just as well." Cao Song couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but then he was stunned, and then looked at Zhao Yan in surprise and asked again, "Third brother, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that you don't oppose changing the law, but why did you refuse Mr. Linchuan just now?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan heard this, but he looked at Wang Anshi, who was talking happily with Zhao Yan not far away, and his eyes also showed a complicated look, and after a while, he turned his head to Cao Song and said, "There are indeed many shortcomings within the Great Song Dynasty, and this status quo must be changed, but Mr. Linchuan intends to use the thunderous means of changing the law to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings, maybe the idea is good, but I think it is a little too risky, the Great Song is like a weak patient, if you want to cure his illness, you can only warm it with mild medicine first, Slowly recuperate his body, but if he takes the medicine of the tiger and wolf, it is likely that he will not be able to save people, but will become murderous! ”

"Hiss~" Cao Song couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he had always been very convinced of Zhao Yan, so he didn't doubt the possibility of Zhao Yan's guess in his words, thinking that if Wang Anshi really implemented the law change by thunderous means, then they would probably all lose a lot of money, and they might even become victims of the change, after all, the change in history has never been bloodless.

Thinking of the above, Cao Song's gaze at Wang Anshi also changed a little, and he was even a little disgusted, after all, admiration was one thing in the past, but if the other party moved his interests, then there would be no emotion to talk about, and even his own brothers might turn against each other in front of interests, not to mention that he and Wang Anshi had only been together for a while.

Zhao Yan and Wang Anshi hit it off at first sight, and they talked endlessly, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Yan at all, Zhao Yan had to shake his head helplessly, and he wanted to leave and was embarrassed to leave, fortunately, Zhao Yan finally remembered his younger brother, and after obtaining Wang Anshi's consent, the two immediately said goodbye to Zhao Yan, and it seemed that they were going to find another place to talk in detail.

Seeing off Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi's father and son, Cao Song immediately couldn't help but say loudly: "Third brother, since you know that Mr. Linchuan's change is harmful to the Great Song Dynasty, then you must find a way to stop him!" ”

"Don't worry, it's not an easy thing to change the law, at least it must be approved by my father, but my father is not as interested in changing the law as my eldest brother, so it is not easy to convince him." Zhao Yan said very calmly.

"But...... But ......" Cao Song wanted to say that although Zhao Shu was not interested, Zhao Wei was full of interest, Zhao Shu's health was not good, this is something that everyone knows, in case Zhao Shu dies, when Zhao Shu ascends the throne, they will still be very dangerous. It's just that these words are not easy to say clearly, especially Zhao Shu's death is a taboo, so he couldn't say it for a long time.

With Zhao Yan's understanding of Cao Song, he naturally saw what he wanted to say at a glance, and immediately sighed and spoke again: "Brother Jiu'er, I know what you want to say, but my father's health is much better now, at least in the next few years, there will be no problems, with these few years, we have many ways to think, such as slowly guiding the eldest brother to change his mind, but I can think of a better way to eliminate the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"You don't know your eldest brother's temperament yet, for the sake of the crown princess, you almost don't even want the position of the prince, it's not easy to get him to change his mind, as for thinking of a better way to eliminate the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, this is what those ministers in the court should think, what can we do?" Cao Song was a little deflated at this time. (To be continued) R580
