Chapter 239

Early the next morning, Xiao Fangzi really came to invite again, Lin Tian and Qiao Feng went to the palace together, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Sword Demon were all there, and after having breakfast together, they discussed the public trial.

The Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple will be tried, among which the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple are all ministers of the Law Change, and it can be said that the odds of winning are ten percent, and they have accounted for seventy percent.

Zhao Ji's face flushed with excitement, today will be a big day, Han Lu can't keep the nearly 100 Yangzhou officials, then the scholars around them will be centrifuged, relatively speaking, the royal power will grow, on the other hand, the law can also be implemented in the northern Han Lu's sphere of influence, Yangzhou is a bridgehead.

For a long time, the Luzhou Prefecture and County controlled by Han Lu refused on the grounds that Wang Anshi had changed the law, betrayed the teachings of his ancestors, and competed with the people for profit.

Yes, it's just to ask for your life and strike the market! This kind of modern symbolizing "democratic" power has long been played by the Han Lu clan.

Whether it is Zhao Ji, Wang Anshi, Cai Qu, or Xingshu, they are all helpless about this, and there is no way to deal with it at all. If it is not allowed, then it will fall into the hands of those people, "the mouth of the defense is more important than the defense of Sichuan", I am afraid that the scholars of the world will denounce Zhao Ji as the tyrant Zhou Li King at that time.

It is worth mentioning that although the reformers were in power, they attacked their political opponents in the court, but they did not prohibit them from discussing outside the court, nor did they prohibit the opposition from expressing their opinions.

The reason why Su Shi will be stained with the Wutai poetry case is because you, as an official of the imperial court, discuss the government in vain, and do not want to be loyal to your duties but sneer at the officials and the law, which will of course be attacked.

As for Luoyang's Ercheng, although he also has an official position and is also regarded as an official of the imperial court, in essence, that official position is just a name, and it is already in name only, it is a fictitious position, and it is an empty position, just because Ercheng is very famous and cannot be stripped of his fame.

Therefore, when the reformers were in power, the schools and speeches of the Great Song Dynasty were the most relaxed times in the previous dynasties. Of course, this is because the reformers do not have the strength to prohibit the old school from speaking, and on the other hand, there is also the idea of using this to make the people of the world speak up, criticize the old school, and reduce the prestige of the old school among the people.

The first dynasty of Shenzong not only belonged to the era of great changes in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, but also belonged to the era of unprecedented great changes in the entire history of China!

In addition to Wang Anshi's new school and Luoyang's Ercheng science, there are also the extremely popular Zhigong doctrine like Yuhang's generation, these three theories have a great influence in the Great Song Dynasty, among which Ercheng Lixue is deeply rooted, Wang Anshi's new school is also unique for a while because of the implementation of the change, and the Zhigong theory is the weakest.

But in Lin Tian's discussion with Su Shi and Wang Anshi, he secretly thought in his heart that this doctrine might be the most vigorous. The doctrine of Zhigong is accompanied by the prosperity of commerce in the coastal area of Yuhang, in which the "taste of businessmen" is extremely strong, businessmen pay the most attention to tangible interests, and the core of Zhigong doctrine is: apply to the world, learn to apply! The utilitarian flavor is extremely strong.

Wang Anshi once made a general judgment in Yuhang, and he also absorbed some utilitarian means in Xinxue, such as his equalization method and market change method. However, Wang Anshi is still a traditional literati who adheres to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and is fundamentally opposed to the doctrine of gong.

The doctrine of Zhigong is by no means high-minded, and his inventor is a merchant son of the Zhenzong era, surnamed Shen Mingfu, and the word is taken by himself, so it is called Zhigong. The status of merchants in ancient times was very low, and his Lao Tzu hired Lao Su Daru to give lectures for him, thinking that his son would also be able to gain fame in the future (during the Northern Song Dynasty, merchants were not forbidden to study and take scientific examinations, but in the later Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, it was forbidden!). How do you know that when this rich second generation was studying, he only admired Tao Zhugong, but he despised Confucius for nothing, so angry that the old gentleman's blood surged, and he fainted at once, and after being rescued, he hummed and said: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" After expelling Shen Fu from the division, he left, and at the same time, the name of this rich second-generation disrespected saint gradually spread, causing an uproar in Shilin.

But this prince is extremely intelligent, not only is he not afraid, but he cites scriptures and words, his family is rich, he actually stereotyped his views and sold them in the book market.

He has a famous saying that is widely known: "Taishi Gongyan: 'The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit', the sage said: 'Food and clothing are enough and then know etiquette', I have seen thousands of years, when the people have not had enough food and clothing, so I do not lie about etiquette, do not talk about morality, so the commentator, only profit! ”

He admired business, justified the name of the business, and got the support of the merchant, and later after the death of his Lao Tzu, he simply sold his property, opened a museum to accept apprentices, and set up a academy, which is located in Yuhang, and is known as the Gong Academy. The children of Yuhang merchants have entered the museum from seven or eight out of ten scholars, and many children from wealthy families from other places have come to study, which shows that it is very popular.

The Zhigong Academy has been passed on to the present for three generations, the current dean Shen Jin (the ancient academy was built on the mountain, away from the hustle and bustle, the dean is also called the mountain chief, the mountain master), nearly fifty years old, is already an old man who has to be half a hundred, although the Zhigong Academy is not short of money, extremely rich, but since he established it, it is only famous among the merchants, but it is notorious in this way.

The doctrine of Zhigong has never gained political power, and has always been the party that has been criticized and attacked, which is also related to their academic views.

For example, as far as salt and iron are concerned, the old-fashioned Ercheng theory believes that it should be operated by the government; Wang Anshi Xinxue, because the government monopoly is full of corruption, and the benefits of salt and iron are tainted by corrupt officials, so he opposes the government's monopoly and changes it to the government's monopoly, but it is operated by qualified merchants; When it comes to the Zhigong school, it is that the government should rule by inaction, and all the salt and iron are operated by merchants, and the government only needs to wait for the tax collection.

Wang Anshi's official management and business camp were still attacked by Ercheng Lixue, saying that he had forgotten his ancestors by deviating from the scriptures, because salt and iron had been government-run for generations! Then the view of all the business operations of the Zhigong School, not to mention, in the Ercheng Theory, it is directly named as a demonic crooked theory that confuses the public, and even Wang Anshi's new school has a lot of criticism of it!

Wang Anshi's law of market change, in which the government dominated commodity prices, damaged the normal law of commercial operation, undermined the control of merchants, especially big businessmen, over the market, and increased the risk of business.

As a result, there is no money in the world to settle the uneven, and those city offices located in important cities have only been operating normally for less than half a year, and they have decayed under the temptation of money......
