Fanning's companions followed the county school to the county school, but Fanning stayed.

In the back hall of the county government, Fan Ning drank tea alone, patiently waiting for Wang Anshi.

Of course, Wang An is going to deal with the case of shocking cattle and hurting people, and deploying his subordinates to investigate and plan the people behind the scenes.

Fan Ning found some clues from this incident, from the morning to now, he found that almost Wang Anshi was singing a one-man show, and he didn't see the figure of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and he didn't even see the main book.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but thinking of the people in Hangzhou complaining, and thinking of the cattle shock case that happened this morning, my intuition told Fan Ning that I was afraid that there would be discord within the county government.

If your own guess is true, then this is not a good phenomenon, and if a reform is not implemented with concerted efforts from top to bottom, there is a chance that there will be problems, or even major problems.

Even if the Qingmiao Law was forcibly implemented by Wang Anshi relying on the power of the county order, it would not last long, and in the final analysis, any reform is a matter of human rule.

"I've kept my brother waiting!"

Wang Anshi's slightly tired voice came from behind him.

Fan Ning turned around and saw Wang Anshi walking quickly into the courtyard, although he was smiling, the smile on his face could not hide the worry in his eyes.

However, Wang Anshi's 'virtuous brother' made Fan Ning's heart swell with warmth.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and asked with a smile: "The younger brother has only come to Yinxian County now, and the eldest brother is not angry!" ”

Wang Anshi's face was blank, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Of course I'm angry, if you don't come again, I will have to go to Wu County to arrest you in person!" ”

After speaking, Wang Anshi himself couldn't help laughing, and Fan Ning's heart was slightly relieved, at least Wang Anshi still had a trace of optimism.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly."

At this time, a servant brought them a pot of wine and a few dishes, Wang Anshi picked up a chopstick, dipped some wine in the wine pot and tasted it carefully.

This move made Fan Ning secretly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, is it so serious?" ”

Wang Anshi smiled, but did not answer his words, but poured a full glass of wine for Fan Ning, and filled his own wine glass.

"Come on! Today is a little hasty, this glass of wine should be used as a brother to catch the wind and wash the dust for the virtuous brother. ”

"Thank you, big brother!"

Fanning raised his glass in thanks, and then drank it all, the wine was very bland, and there was almost no degree.

Fan Ning snatched the wine jug and poured it for Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi stared at the wine glass for a long time, and then sighed softly and said: "I only now understand how difficult it is to re-divide a piece of cake, this is just a small county, and a small seedling money has touched the interests of so many people." ”

Fanning pondered and asked, "Are there a lot of farmers borrowing money from Qingmiao now?" ”

Wang Anshi thought for a while and said, "There are about 15,000 households, accounting for about 30% of all farmers. ”

Fan Ning frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Big brother, fifteen thousand households is not a small number, is it possible that every household is so poor, and after a year, they don't even have the money to buy seeds?" ”

Wang Anshi smiled and asked rhetorically: "You are also from the countryside, don't you feel it yourself?" ”

Fanning was silent for a while, although his family had not borrowed money, but in his memory, life was indeed very poor, and his mother took the thrift to the limit, and it took many years to barely save ten yuan.

However, that is because his father is a fisherman, and although the fisherman is very hard, his income is indeed higher than that of ordinary farmers.

But even so, my family has a very hard time, not to mention those farmers who make a living by renting land and farming, or who only have ten or eight acres of land at home, I am afraid that after a year of hard work, I am afraid that it is only enough to make a living.

If the family population is a little larger, I am afraid that it will not be enough to make ends meet, otherwise how can a poor family be willing to send their seven or eight-year-old daughters to a large family as a maid.

Fan Ning was silent for a long time and said: "I just think that the Jiangnan area is relatively rich, even if there are poor families, it will not account for as much as thirty percent." ”

He looked at Wang Anshi, his eyes full of doubt.

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "It can only show that you don't know the people's feelings too much, the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is only relative to the north, the extreme poor families in the north account for about sixty percent, and Yin County only accounts for thirty percent, which is very good."

Yinzhou has an average of 20 acres of land per household, if it is all on the field is a little better, if it is in the field or under the field, it is difficult, after paying the tax, there are only a dozen yuan left, there are old, there are young, to eat and dress, to see a doctor and take medicine, all year round rely on these ten dollars, where is there any money to buy seeds? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Anshi let out a long sigh, "Especially when there is a shortage of green and yellow, many families can't even afford to eat, so they can only borrow money to get by. If you borrow the same money, after three years, it will become four dollars, and one acre of land will be gone, and in the long run, the families with a little land will become destitute. ”

Fanning pondered for a moment and then asked, "How can the tenant farmer borrow money?" ”

"Tenant farmers can borrow money from the master's house!"

Wang Anshi saw that Fan Ning didn't understand very well, so he explained: "Once you really become a destitute family, you can't borrow money if you want to, just like you said about tenant farmers, borrowing money must be mortgaged with property, without a mortgage, who will lend you money?" If you indulge usury and exploit the peasants, in the end there will be more and more people living in extreme poverty, and once there is a natural disaster, the grain harvest fails, and the peasants have no property to resist the disaster, and a large-scale displacement will appear. ”

In fact, Fan Ning does not agree with these truths mentioned by Wang Anshi, but it is not a top priority to argue about these issues now.

Fanning is now more concerned about what setbacks Wang Anshi's reform in Yinxian County has encountered? How did this morning's shocking case come about?

Fanning pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the most serious problem my brother is facing now?" ”

Wang Anshi picked up his wine glass and said slowly: "Governor Li of Mingzhou allowed me to properly implement the Qingmiao Law, but his condition was not to cause officialdom infighting and social unrest.

Last year, the contradictions began to erupt, there were more and more opposing voices, and various methods to deal with me emerged in an endless stream, and even at the beginning of the year, someone poisoned my wine and tea, and today there was a case of shocking cattle and hurting people, and seven people died, I am very worried that Governor Li or the imperial court will stop the Qingmiao Law, so I hope you can come up with a plan for me to see if there is any way to solve the current crisis. ”

Although Wang Anshi's tone was gentle, the content of his words was shocking, poisoning, killing, and all kinds of extreme measures appeared, which also shows how fierce the struggle to implement the Qingmiao Law is.

Fanning didn't know where to start for a while, he thought for a while and said, "Then I'll ask you about today's shocking case first, who does my brother think will do it?" ”

"I don't know yet!"

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "I am now tracking down the source of these two green cows, once I find out, I will know the murderer of this murder case, and I will not spare it." ”

"But if there is a homicide, shouldn't the state government investigate the case?"

Wang Anshi was silent for a moment and said: "Governor Li went to the capital, and he won't come back until about three days, and I must catch the murderer before he returns to Mingzhou." ”

．．．．．．．．．

Desheng money shop is located in the west of Yinxian County, covering an area of about five acres, and it ranks third among the seven money shops in Mingzhou.

Similar to the pledge store, they also accepted collateral and lent money to small merchants, urban commoners, or peasants.

But the larger function of the money shop is to save money for others, of course, the Song Dynasty's savings have no interest, and there is also a handling fee for depositing money.

Twenty years ago, the government-run handover appeared in Sichuan, but it was limited to Sichuan and was not implemented in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was still difficult for merchants to settle large sums of money.

Therefore, merchants generally find a money shop, deposit the money first, and then use the tokens given by the money shop to trade.

is like Zhu Yuanfeng's half piece of jade to Fanning, which is a token of the money shop.

When the proprietor Qiu Lian heard about the case of shocking the cow and hurting people, he was also a little worried in his heart, so he hurried back to the money shop.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

The second Qiu Lin saw that her brother was worried, so she stepped forward and asked.

"There's something big going on at the county office, do you know?"

Qiu Lin nodded, "I heard that it seems that the cow was frightened, and the casualties were not small. ”

"Seven dead!"

Qiu Lian looked at the second brother coldly and asked, "This is the plan you planned?" ”

Qiu Lin was startled, and quickly shook her head and denied, "This is not a case I planned, and my plan has not yet been considered mature." ”

Qiu Lin saw that his brother's eyes were anxious, and he suddenly woke up, "Isn't the eldest brother worried about the third brother?" ”

Qiu Lian nodded, the third brother Qiu Yong was simple-minded, short-tempered, and easy to be taken advantage of, of course he was very worried.

Qiu Lin was also a little worried, he hurriedly sent someone to find the horse steward, the horse steward usually followed the third Qiu Yong to ask for debts, and he was usually around Qiu Yong.

After a while, the steward hurriedly came, bowed and saluted, "See the two proprietors!" ”

Qiu Lian hurriedly asked, "Let me ask you, where are the three proprietors?" ”

Steward Ma shook his head, "He went out early in the morning, but I don't know exactly where he went." ”

The two brothers looked at each other, and both realized that something was wrong.
