In the Linjiang Pavilion Restaurant in Yin County, Wang Anshi set up a table of banquets for Fan Ning and their companions to practice.

Time passed quickly, the month-long study tour was over in a blink of an eye, and Fanning and his companions were ready to return to Wu County tomorrow.

In fact, Yinxian County School has only become a place for them to eat and sleep, and they spend most of their time running in the streets and alleys of Yinxian County, Tianjiao or Cixi on both sides of the water, to understand the people's suffering, to understand the wishes of businessmen, and to understand the development of shipping.

A month has made everyone skinny and dark, but the harvest is huge.

Wang Anshi picked up a wine glass and said with a smile: "Everyone will go back tomorrow, I wish everyone can get good results in the autumn exam, I wish you all to be on the list, go to the capital and we will meet again, come!" We drank this cup. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their cups.

Everyone sat down and drank heartily, and the wine table gradually became lively, Fan Ning asked Wang Anshi with a smile: "The case of the Zhang family, does the court have an explanation?" ”

Wang Anshi sneered and said: "It is said that the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered the Criminal Division to strictly investigate the case, and it is estimated that all the property of the Zhang family will be confiscated and handed over to the court as stolen money." ”

Fanning nodded, "This is called the restoration of Skynet, negligent but not leaky, greedy for the property of the imperial court, but in the end it harmed himself, which can be regarded as self-inflicted." ”

Wang Anshi drank all the wine in the cup, unable to hide the joy in his heart, "Without Zhang Qilin's constraints, I believe that my Qingmiao method will definitely succeed." ”

Fan Ning didn't speak, Wang Anshi was slightly stunned, he felt that Fan Ning had something to say, and hurriedly said: "What does the virtuous brother want to say, just say it!" ”

Fan Ning smiled bitterly and said: "There are some things I have always wanted to say to my brother, but I am afraid of damaging my brother's enthusiasm, so I have been holding back for a month, but if I don't say it, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain." ”

Wang Anshi's expression became serious, he put down his wine glass and said to Fan Ning: "If Brother Xian doesn't say it, it's my biggest regret." ”

Fan Ning said slowly: "I don't think my brother's experiment with the Qingmiao method this time is actually not successful!" ”

"Why?" Wang Anshi was stunned.

"The so-called successful experiment must first be promoted, does my brother think that the seedling method implemented in Yinxian County can be extended to all counties in the world?"

Wang Anshi was silent, he understood what Fan Ning was referring to, for the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, he and the county Cheng Zhang Qilin launched a life-and-death struggle.

Although he won by luck, it really has no value in promotion, and he can't expect other county orders to be as determined as himself, maybe the county orders themselves are opponents.

Fanning continued: "The essence of the Qingmiao Law is to curb land annexation and prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of displaced people in the late Han and Tang dynasties, but only to change the government to lend money to the peasants instead of usury, I think this is only a symptom rather than a cure.

Why do farmers borrow money? Why didn't my brother think about letting the peasants not borrow money, I think this is the root of the reform, and my brother's implementation of the Seedlings Law is actually on the wrong path. ”

"What about in my opinion?"

At this moment, everyone at the wine table stopped talking and looked at Fanning.

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "As far as I know, the tenant rent in Wu County and Yin County is the same, after the annual harvest, the tenant farmers and the main family are opened, and then the main family bears the tax, it should be said that the exploitation of the tenant farmers is more powerful, but this is not the case in Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and the tenant farmers and the main family are five or five open, and the main family also bears the tax, has my brother thought about the reason?" ”

"I've heard of the reasons for this."

Next to him, Dong Kun raised his hand and smiled: "Do you want me to come and offer ugliness?" ”

Wang Anshi hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Dong, come on!" ”

Dong Kun scratched his head and said: "Once my father and uncle talked about this matter at the wine table, my father said that it was because people from all counties in Kaifeng Prefecture went to the capital to make a living and make money, and there was no one in the countryside to farm, so the landlord had to lower the tenant rent to recruit farmers. ”

Wang Anshi somewhat understood why Fan Ning cited this example, and he smiled and said: "The capital is a special situation, and it cannot be compared with other places. ”

"I know that the capital is a special situation, but my thinking is not wrong, and my brother doesn't need to compete with the wealthy and powerful at all."

Fan Ning simply put down the wine glass and said to Wang Anshi solemnly: "For example, the government encourages the workshop to become bigger, like the Wu weaving workshop in Dongcheng, there are 300 looms, if the workshop expands to 1,000 looms, do you need to recruit more people to work and earn money?"

Another example is the development of mines, a large mine has at least tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of miners working, along with their families, which solves the livelihood of millions of people.

In addition, there is also a large amount of land in the hands of local governments, and the imperial court can uniformly stipulate low tenant rents, which can attract many tenant farmers to come and rent official land.

The number of peasants is limited, and once the wealthy families have no one to farm, they can only follow suit and lower the tenant rent, and when the peasants' incomes are high, they will naturally not borrow usury. ”

Wang Anshi nodded and said with a smile: "That's what you said about dividing the cake, instead of competing for a piece of cake, it is better to make the cake bigger, and everyone will benefit!" ”

"That's right! This is the reason, in fact, the elder brother implemented the Qingmiao Law because he was worried that the exiles of the Great Song Dynasty would rise up everywhere and reproduce the tragedy of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. ”

Wang Anshi pondered for a moment and said, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "The fundamental reason is that the situation of the Great Song Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Two Han Dynasty is different, during the Two Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiangnan was not developed, double cropping rice did not appear, commerce was suppressed and suppressed, the situation of slavery was very serious, the warlords were divided, and the peasants could not survive if they did not cultivate the land, and could only be reduced to exiles."

The Great Song Dynasty was completely different, the Great Song Dynasty developed the south, encouraged commerce, strictly forbade slavery, and suppressed warlords, and the peasants had no harvest, so they could go to the city to be bartenders and men, and they could go to the south to be tenant farmers, at least they had a bowl of rice to eat, so as not to be forced to rebel.

If the handicraft workshops, mines, shipbuilding, transportation, and commerce continue to prosper, improve production technology, and continue to develop the south, the problem of the three redundancies of the Great Song Dynasty can be gradually solved, and I think this is the way to reform, to make the pie bigger, instead of fighting for a small piece of the pie to the death. ”

Fan Ning had been holding back these words for more than a month, although he helped Wang Anshi defeat Zhang Qilin, the county leader, and cleared the main force that hindered the Qingmiao Method.

But from this incident, it can be seen that it is not feasible to implement the Qingmiao Law, every county in the Great Song Dynasty has Zhang Qilin, but not every county has Wang Anshi, and even the Great Song Dynasty has only one Wang Anshi.

Historically, Wang Anshi's reform ultimately failed, that is, it was defeated by the Qingmiao method, which was like firing porcelain, the craftsman worked hard to fire a piece of porcelain, but the opponents broke it with a light knock.

Fan Ning felt that Wang Anshi still didn't understand his thoughts, and he still tried his best to divide the pie, and he didn't think of making the pie bigger.

So before he left, he found this opportunity to beat Wang Anshi again.

．．．．．．．．

Early the next morning, Fan Ning and his entourage left Yinxian by boat, Wang Anshi personally came to the dock to see him off, the big ship gradually moved away, and Wang Anshi on the dock became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

In the cabin, Akihito and Mingli were discussing in a low voice how to hide the pearls and avoid tax card checks.

Most of the others are reading books, reviewing and losing a month's homework, and there will be a county exam in June, which is equivalent to a pre-exam for the exam, and if the test is too bad, the county will not recommend taking the exam, which is very stressful for every student.

Fan Ning stood at the window of the boat and looked at the disappearing dock, his thoughts still did not calm down, Wang Anshi's reluctance was not only manifested in the fact that he would never look back, but also because he refused to change his thinking easily.

Fan Ning regretted it slightly, he knew that he should have made the Niu Shocking Case a big one, so that Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law reform failed, and with the painful lesson of failure, if he persuaded him again, the effect would be much better.

Having said that, Fan Ning also knew that if the cattle case was repeated again, he would still help Wang Anshi in the same way, and it was not just a personal friendship, a very important reason was that Zhang Qilin had no bottom line in doing things, and Fan Ning did not want a second poisoned tea incident.

"Senior brother's words last night opened our eyes!" I don't know when Dong Kun appeared next to Fan Ning.

"Especially the advice given by the senior brother to Wang County, the development of offshore transportation, and the use of sea routes to communicate Mingzhou and Jianzhou are even more genius."

Last night, Fanning suggested to Wang Anshi that Mingzhou should develop the shipbuilding industry and open up transportation with Jianzhou by sea, so that Mingzhou would become a transit place for Jianzhou's tea and various fruits, so that the farmers of Yinxian County could find a way to earn money and no longer rely on borrowing money.

Although the proposal was good, Fanning knew that Wang Anshi would not implement it easily, without it, there would be no time, Wang Anshi's term of office would expire at the end of the year, and Fanning's idea would not be realized until at least two or three years of operation.

However, this idea can be put to a later date, and there will always be a chance.

Fan Ning smiled, "In any case, this time we didn't come to Yin County in vain, and the harvest is still very big!" ”
