Wang Anshi participated in the imperial court when he was in power, and he was gloomy, shadowing life, old age, illness, death, and suffering. Sheng, refers to Wang Anshi, when he was appreciated by the Divine Sect and entrusted with important tasks, he was 49 years old, and when he was in the prime of life, he was determined to show his life's ambitions, so it was called Sheng; Zeng Gongliang, the prime minister at that time, was over 70 years old, and when he encountered something that needed to be stated, he hummed haha, whether it was okay or not, there was no quasi-letter, and he was called old; Another prime minister, Fu Bi, 65 years old, a veteran of the three dynasties, saw that Shenzong reused Wang Anshi, and he did not approve of Wang Anshi's idea of changing the law, so he simply often called himself sick and could not go to work in the court, which was called sick; Deputy Prime Minister Tang Jie, who died of illness two months after Wang Anshi took office, is called death; There is also a deputy prime minister named Yue Yan, who opposes Wang Anshi's change of law but knows that he can't oppose it, so he often complains in private, calling it bitter. In addition to Wang Anshi, the central ministers in power turned out to be "old, sick, dead, and miserable", and Wang Anshi's situation can be imagined. He wanted to carry out the reform, but obviously he could not rely on these old, sick, and bitter people, so he made a bold move, retreated when he should have retreated, and after some personnel adjustments, he vigorously implemented his reform throughout the country.

Wang Anshi's reform involves all aspects of governing the country, and from a macro point of view, it can be divided into three aspects: financial management, strengthening the army, and cultivating talents. At that time, the trend of mergers was flourishing, and most of the peasants suffered from the heavy profits of the wealthy families, and the tycoons with the surnames monopolized and manipulated the market, and the labor was heavy, and many families went bankrupt because of it. Wang Anshi's changes were made in response to these ills. For example, the green seedling method means that when the peasants are in a shortage of green and yellow crops, the official family will lend them money, and pay it back during the autumn harvest with an annual interest of two cents. At that time, there was a Changping Guanghui warehouse in the place, and the grain was bought and stored in the harvest year, and sold at a low price in the famine year, but there was not often a shortage in the famine year, and the Guanghui warehouse often had a backlog, and the backlog was long, and the grain mildew caused waste. The new law will no longer buy the money from Guanghuicang, but lend it to farmers and collect interest, which is a good thing for the country and the people. I wonder if the "agricultural loan" that is quite fashionable now is similar to the Qingmiao Law? Another example is the equalization method, which is to change the tribute paid by various localities to the imperial court to direct procurement by the central government. The goods paid by the local government are not necessarily what the imperial court needs, and many places are far away from the capital, and the goods often outweigh the losses of the imperial court. The new law is to sell these goods locally and then give the money to the central government, which will purchase them as needed. Another example is the market change law, which is to break the monopoly of the big surname giant on the market, Wang Anshi set up the "Changping City Yi Division" for this purpose, buying when it is cheap and selling it when it is expensive, which can not only balance prices, but also increase income for the country. In terms of strengthening the army, he formulated the law of protecting the armor, that is, ten families are one bao, and one man is taken as a baoding if there are more than two men in the family, and the baoding is issued with weapons, and the land is farmed in peacetime and fought in wartime. This measure, together with the law of military reduction, has made the army available to the people, which has not only saved the state a large amount of military expenditure, but also ensured the needs of national defense. In terms of cultivating talents, Wang Anshi, together with his disciples, re-annotated the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu" and "Zhou Li", and used them as teaching materials, reorganized Taixue, expanded the enrollment quota, and no longer hired people who could only chant poetry, but hired people who knew the art of the world. To be fair, the content of Wang Anshi's reform is not only highly targeted to the ills of the time, as Mr. Liang Qichao said: "It is often passed on today, and it can be abolished." It can be seen from this that his thinking is indeed very advanced.

Yang Hu and his wife and Yang Jiao came to the palace, it was already half an afternoon, after staying, wash and comb, and it was time to have dinner, sure enough, at the reception banquet, in addition to Song Shenzong Zhao Ji, there were also Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to accompany each other, but Yang Hu could clearly feel that the vegetable distance between the two was probably caused by the change of law, and he forced these two good brothers who had a good life. A good friend has become an incompatible political enemy, but their true feelings for Yang Hu are not adulterated at all, Yang Jiao saw the delicate relationship between the three Rao at a glance, and thought that it was better to disturb the feelings, "Uncle Sima, after the New Year, I must read your masterpiece "Qualification Tongjian", this back door can still be opened, right?", Hearing Yang Jiao mention "Qualification Tongjian", Sima Guang's eyes immediately lit up, "Welcome the virtuous niece to come and advise at any time." Yang Jiao looked at Wang Anshi again, "Uncle Wang, the poems you circulated must only be a part, can I also read other poems when the time comes?", this is also one of Wang Anshi's pride, laughing, "Then Uncle Wang will let your uncle's mother take care of my good niece."

Seeing that Yang Jiao, a seven-year-old girl, was talking and laughing, she asked about the current situation of Yang Xiao and Yang Jun, "The two children are a little tired and prostration, so they didn't rush over, everyone is drinking well today, don't ruin everyone's interest, let's talk about it if there is something", Yang Hu sighed unconsciously.

In the second imperial study, Yang Hu told Song Shenzong what happened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the latter was also in a cold sweat, "If it weren't for Jiao'er's timely appearance, the fate of Yangjiazhai and Wolf Zhou would be miserable", Yang Hu sighed after speaking, "As soon as Wolf Zhou collapses, they will attack my Great Song Dynasty wholeheartedly, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be guaranteed, can the imperial brother have a countermeasure?", Song Shenzong answered, "I saw the meaning of the woman yesterday, after the New Year, she will definitely come to the emperor and Wang Cheng to discuss this matter, and I will accompany her when the time comes", Yang Hu replied affirmatively.

On the eighth day of the first month, Yang Hu's family of five and Zhuge Wufu came to Sanssouci Island together, and Zhuge Wufu and Yang Xiao's three brothers and sisters immediately liked it here, in addition to the scenery here, they can also eat so many kinds of rare fish, not to mention the tender corn and edamame, the four of them lived until March 3 The air became warmer, Yang Jiaocai and his senior brother left to Sanssouci together, pulled Yang Hu and went to Tokyo again, after six consecutive secret talks with Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong, the three of them returned to Wolf State, and in the following days, Wang Anshi launched a war against Western Xia, which is famous"The Battle of Xihe", recorded in history,

After Song Shenzong ascended the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi as the prime minister, "striving to shame the snow for several generations", changing the law to become strong, and making great efforts. During the Xining period, he went west to conquer the Qingtang Tubo and Jiaoguoluo regimes, expanded the land for more than 2,000 li, established the Xihe Road, and gradually began to occupy the strategic initiative in the Western Xia. At the same time as the Xihe Frontier, Song Shenzong also began to try to capture Xia Tu. He first chose the direction of Hengshan to launch an attack on Western Xia. In the fourth year of Zhiping (1067), the Song Dynasty led his troops to surrender to the Weiming Mountains of Suizhou in Western Xia. In the fourth year of Xining (1071), Han Jiang commanded the army to build Funing and Luowucheng in order to exhaust the city of Hengshan and realize the strategic concept of attacking Western Xia, but this military operation ended with the Western Xia army breaking through the two cities successively. In this situation, Shenzong adopted the advice of Wang Shao and others, and sent troops out of Qinzhou to appease and capture the Qiang and Tubo tribes scattered in the Xihe area, in order to achieve the military concept of attacking the Western Xia on the east and west roads, but the anti-Song war of the Qiang and Tibetan tribes on the Xihe Road disrupted the continuation of this military deployment, and Song Shenzong was forced to stop the pace of the westward expedition.
