But when you stand high, you often overlook some details.
detail.
This is also the biggest difference between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and they can even be said to be two extremes.
Wang Anshi focused on the overall situation and did not pay much attention to details. Although he agreed that Zhang Fei did have a good propaganda, he did not think it was that important.
What's more, this is just an article. How can you justify it if he doesn't let him do it himself?
Sima Guang is another extreme. He pays too much attention to details, looks forward and backward, and is afraid of this and that. As a result, many good ideas were not realized in the end.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Zhiqian came to the private room and saw Zhang Fei sitting on a chair, deep in thought and silent.
Zhang Fei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No one is perfect."
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei doubtfully.
"Grandmaster Wang asked me to help him promote the new law."
With that said, Zhang Fei picked up the article on the table and handed it to Xu Zhiqian.
After Xu Zhiqian read it, she was pleasantly surprised and said: "It's really well written."
Zhang Fei said: "Not as good as yours!"
Xu Zhiqian patted him gently and said angrily: "Nonsense."
Zhang Fei said: "I am serious. My original intention was for you to write it, but it happened that Academician Wang asked me to publish his article."
Xu Zhiqian didn't know why, "I can't write such a good article."
"Forget it, you don't believe anything I say now. Then I will prove that your article is better than that of Bachelor Wang." Zhang Fei waved his hand.
Suddenly someone outside said: "Lv Xiaokan, have you forgotten something?"
Then I heard Lu Huiqing say: "I forgot to talk to Zhang San about something."
Xu Zhiqian left very wisely, but her eyes were full of confusion.
As soon as she went out, Lu Huiqing came in.
Zhang Fei knew why he turned back, but he still stood up and pretended to be confused: "Did Collator Lu forget something?"
"Not really."
Lu Huiqing shook his head and said seriously: "Zhang San, what you just said makes sense to me, but you must also understand that it is also of great significance for my mentor to write this article."
What he said is of great significance means political significance. For now, Wang Anshi is the embodiment of the new law. The reformists are all looking to him and he must start it.
Only in this way can morale be boosted.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I know, so I didn't fight for it."
Lu Huiqing said slightly worriedly: "But will doing this really cause a lot of losses?"
Zhang Fei sighed: "To be honest with Lu Xiaokan, in terms of publicity, publishing this article directly can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and the loss is not to mention, but why do you want to ask me to do this publicity? It is just to do it
It will be better. However, I will find a way to make up for all this."
make up?
Lu Huiqing became more and more panicked as he listened. Is it that much of a difference? But he still didn't quite understand what the difference was, so he added, "If the impact is serious, let's go talk to our mentor."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "With the character of Academician Wang, I think it is better to speak with facts. If there is no result, even if we succeed, Academician Wang will still be a little unhappy."
How would you know if you haven't used it?
"Would that affect..."
"I will do my best to achieve success." As he said this, Zhang Fei suddenly remembered something, "But there are some things I need help from Xiaokan Lu."
Lu Huiqing said, "Just say it."
"Colleague Lu, please take a seat."
With that said, Zhang Fei closed the door again and sat back on the chair, "There should be some rotten tributes in the treasury."
Lu Huiqing nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "I need Xiaokan Lu to prepare some for me."
Hearing this, Lu Huiqing suddenly realized that Zhang Fei's propaganda was by no means as simple as an article.
The two chatted in the private room for almost an hour before Lu Huiqing left, but the look on his face was obviously much more relaxed.
Zhang Fei took the article in his hand and read it again, "Although it will have the opposite effect in terms of publicity, it may be of great help to my charity."
Having said this, he chuckled and said, "From this point of view, it should be Wang University Scholar who is motivating me, rather than me motivating him."
On the same day, he sent this article to the official bookstore and distributed it in the name of Celebrity Newspaper. After all, the imperial court had not yet promulgated it, so it would be a bit too serious to put it in a news newspaper.
After a day and a half of hard work, the first batch of this issue of celebrity newspaper appeared in major restaurants.
For many people, this is an expected "surprise".
In fact, before this, many people still looked forward to it, hoping that the new law would die prematurely, but unfortunately it did not happen as they wished.
Finally it’s here!
The equal loss method makes its debut and appears in everyone's field of vision.
In fact, this new law mainly involves supply issues in the capital.
It is said that the Northern Song Dynasty was a country supporting a city. Although it is not that exaggerated, the huge bureaucratic team and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops did require huge supplies.
Every year, a lot of supplies have to be transported to the capital from various places.
But these materials are not industrial products. Most of them are plants and are affected by the weather. However, the quantity and type of materials transported to the capital from each place are constant every year.
There is a problem here. For example, a county in the south of the Yangtze River sends a thousand kilograms of lychees to the capital every year. However, the weather is not kind and the lychees are not harvested. The people have no lychees in their hands, but the government only accepts lychees without any conditions.
The people were forced to buy lychees at high prices and pay tribute to the government.
It is conceivable that businessmen can make a lot of wealth from this.
In addition, this constant supply often cannot match the demand of the capital. If there is too much, it will rot directly. If there is less, the court will have to buy it at a high price in the market.
The losses here are also staggering.
And speaking of facts, Sima Guang's idea of reducing expenditure cannot solve this problem. It can only be solved by relying on Wang Anshi's financial management.
And Wang Anshi's solution is just eight words - move to the rich and use the cheap, and use the people to make things easier for the people.
The meaning of "moving to the rich is to give the cheap" means that instead of constantly collecting physical taxes from various places, in areas with famine and poor harvests, prices will rise and the taxes will be reduced to coins, and then the coins will be used to buy supplies at low prices in areas with good harvests.
As a result, businessmen will not be able to amass large amounts of wealth.
If there are multiple areas with good harvests and low prices at the same time, then go to the areas that are close and have convenient transportation to buy.
This can save a lot of shipping costs.
In addition, Wang Anshi will also solve the relationship between supply and demand. The capital will first issue a demand list, and the purchasing unit will then go to various places to purchase based on this demand list.
This is actually replacing an unchanging and extremely decadent system with business practices.
Moreover, when the article elaborated on the concept of using the people to benefit the people, it also mentioned Yameng, which will reduce the burden on Yameng, and also stated that a new Yameng law will be introduced soon.
In terms of articles, Wang Anshi is really a master among masters. In fact, the Yamen Law has been revised, but he knows that everyone pays more attention to Yamen, which is a cancer, so he leaves a foreshadowing here to arouse
Everyone’s expectations and attention ensure that the popularity is rising.
Just as Zhang Fei said, the whole article is really accurate and precise.
It accurately explains the problems and proposes solutions to these problems, one by one, which is perfect.
Early morning.
Zhang Fei walked slowly to the front yard while chatting with Gao Wenyin. Now he was busy day and night, so he could only cultivate a relationship with Gao Wenyin while having breakfast.
"I didn't expect that after you came back, Saburo, you would be even busier than when you were serving."
"Madam, aren't you blaming me for not spending more time with her?"
"no no!"
Gao Wenyin shook her head repeatedly and whispered: "I'm just worried that you will be tired, Sanlang."
"Don't worry, madam, I will take care of myself."
As he said that, Zhang Fei suddenly gently held Gao Wenyin's white and tender catkin, "If you wait a little longer, I can spend a lot of time with my wife."
Gao Wenyin gently twitched her hand, but when she didn't break free, she let him hold her hand and said shyly, "I told you it wasn't what I meant."
Zhang Fei saw that her cheeks were dizzy and she looked even more charming, and he smiled and said, "But I think, let's go on a trip together."
"Ah? You want to go far away?" Gao Wenyin said in surprise.
Zhang Fei said: "Madam, don't you want to?"
Gao Wenyin shook his head.
She is a pure homebody and has absolutely no interest in going out.
"Zhang San!"
Suddenly a clear sound was heard.
Gao Wenyin hurriedly took out her hand.
"You're still hiding it, I've seen it all!"
Xu Zhiqian walked over and smiled slyly at Gao Wenyin.
"Yes! We are all one family, and sooner or later we have to be honest with each other."
Zhang Fei immediately changed his hands and gently hugged Xu Zhiqian.
"Don't push yourself too far."
Xu Zhiqian immediately broke away and walked to Gao Wenyin's side, holding Gao Wenyin's jade arm with one hand, "Sister Gao, you can't let him do anything rashly, so as not to develop his bad habits."
"Wow."
Zhang Fei raised his hands, "I am really wronged! I..."
At this point, he suddenly looked at his hands, his eyes slightly moist.
Gao Wenyin immediately said: "Actually, Sanlang has always treated me with courtesy. I, I am also grateful to him."
This is really what she said from the bottom of her heart. She is really grateful to Zhang Fei for respecting her.
"Listen, listen!"
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian angrily, "They are both women, how can there be such a big difference? Come over quickly and let your husband hug and comfort you."
"Pooh!"
Xu Zhiqian glanced shyly, "You're a slut."
Okay! I'll take care of you after you get on the carriage. Zhang Fei said: "You came so early, are you here to get some food?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "No. I just want to ask him to go to a restaurant to eat."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "What the hell? Are you asking me to go to a restaurant for dinner?"
Xu Zhiqian is also a weirdo, extremely stingy to herself and extremely generous to others. When she and Zhang Fei go out, they usually eat at stalls. In Zhang Fei's impression, they have never been to a restaurant.
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Have you forgotten? A new issue of Celebrity Newspaper will be published today."
Zhang Fei said, "Do you want to go to the restaurant and hear their reviews?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
She firmly supported Wang Anshi's reform.
Zhang Fei said: "Then you treat me."
Xu Zhiqian's face turned red, "I can only treat you to steamed buns, will you eat them?"
"Dabai steamed buns?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, "Eat it! If you ask for it, I will definitely eat it."
"Madam, you will also treat me to big white steamed buns next time."
"oh!"
Gao Wenyin responded casually and muttered: "Why does Sanlang want me to treat him to a big white steamed bun?"
After getting on the carriage, he hummed. Zhang Fei immediately hugged Xu Zhiqian into his arms, raised and lowered his hands for a while, and kissed her until she was breathless before he gave up.
Snapped!
Zhang Fei patted her tummy gently, "Do you know the tricks I use to be a swindler?"
Xu Zhiqian's face was flushed, she rolled her eyes at him charmingly, and then asked: "You and Sister Gao?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know her character yet? If you don't marry me, it's impossible for her to marry me."
Xu Zhiqian nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, no wonder you are in a hurry to marry me. It turns out it's for Sister Gao!"
"Hey! You girl."
"okay!"
Xu Zhiqian quickly stopped his hand, "Stop fighting, I won't say anything."
Zhang Fei held her in his arms again and kissed her lips, "Seriously, when do you plan to marry me?"
Xu Zhiqian thought for a moment, "How about waiting for my brother to come back during the Chinese New Year? I've been quite busy lately anyway."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you for another half year."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "Can we just wait another half a year?"
Zhang Fei said: "It must be obtained. When the time comes, I will bow my bow forcefully."
"You are seeking death! It's really unpleasant."
Flirting and flirting all the way to Pan House.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone shouting: "Su Zizhan, don't say anything more. Let me ask you, is the bad government pointed out by my brother-in-law real, or is it made up by my brother-in-law?"
The two looked for the sound and saw a man under forty years old wearing a Confucian shirt, pointing at Su Shi at the next table.
"Brother-in-law?"
Zhang Fei was slightly startled.
Xu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "His name is Shen Jichang, he is now a professor at the Imperial College, and he is the brother-in-law of Bachelor Wang."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly and thought to himself, this is indeed a family of officials, even his brother-in-law is an official.
Then he saw Su Shi and said with a smile: "Every question raised by Scholar Wang is true and not false."
"That's enough." Shen Jichang raised his hands to all around: "I would like to ask you to comment. Since these bad policies do exist, my brother-in-law will prescribe the right medicine and revise them one by one. What is wrong?"
I saw some young scholars nodding frequently and whispering.
Problems and solutions are really one to one.
Nothing wrong!
Xu Zhiqian was also surprised and said: "Yes! What's wrong? Why would Mr. Su object?"
Zhang Fei whispered: "Let's find a seat first."
"Um."
The two of them glanced around and suddenly realized that there seemed to be no seats left.
At this moment, Pan Yuan came over and said, "Sanlang, Madam Xu, you are here to visit us. The shop is really full of glory!"
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Pan's foreign language is too harsh, and Zhang San is too embarrassed to take it seriously."
Who dares to look down on Zhang San now?
Pan Yuanwai immediately found a table for them.
"Sanlang, you should prepare more copies of this newspaper. I only got a hundred copies, and I probably won't last until noon." Pan Yuanwai whispered.
"It's all your fault. If you don't let me sell it alone, I won't just accept it from you." Zhang Fei said angrily.
Officer Pan laughed and said nothing.
Zhang Fei added: "There should be another batch in the afternoon, and it should be delivered before dinner."
"That's fine, that's fine. I wonder what you want to eat."
"Steamed bun!"
Xu Zhiqian said.
Mr. Pan is so stupid. Why don’t you come to Pan’s house to eat steamed buns?
It's so insulting.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Come on, look at me."
"Okay! Sit down for a moment."
"Thank you!"
After Pan Yu left, Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Don't you want to eat steamed buns?"
Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "I touched it just now and it's not soft enough."
"When did you touch the steamed bun? How come I didn't know?"
Xu Zhiqian had a look of astonishment on her face. Suddenly her face turned blood red and she kicked her hard. She didn't care about her image as a lady at all. "You are such a slut, you are so nasty, shameless and despicable."
"Ouch! Ouch! Okay, look, your idol Mr. Su is standing up."
Xu Zhiqian looked back and said to Zhang Fei: "I'll settle the score with you later."
I saw Su Shi saying: "As we all know, buying cheap and selling high is the way for merchants to make a living. Now that the court is buying cheap and selling high, isn't this taking away the livelihood of other merchants?"
Shen Jichang smiled and said: "The article makes it very clear that businessmen amass wealth through this, are unkind and exploit the people for the sake of wealth. You actually speak for businessmen. You are really reading the book of sages in vain."
Su Shi smiled disdainfully: "Professor Shen is really useless as a teacher. The way to stop others from stealing is not to steal things yourself first. Isn't it contradictory for the court to do it even though it knows it is wrong?"
Shen Jichang retorted: "The imperial court has its own rules and will not be greedy like businessmen."
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Su Shi snorted and said: "Furthermore, the imperial court collects so many business taxes from merchants every year, and now it turns around and wants to cut off the merchants' livelihood. This is too cruel.
In my opinion, if there is a famine, the people should be given tax exemptions and exemptions instead of losing money and food. This is one; second, since the court taxes the people all over the world, it cannot compete with the people for profits. This is only fair.
Buying cheap and selling high may make profits, but it will also kill businessmen and reduce business taxes. What’s the point of one thing and another? This is not a fundamental solution at all.”
Immediately, many people spoke out to support Su Shi.
Shen Jichang laughed: "Su Zizhan, you can only talk on paper. What you said now cannot eliminate those bad policies at all.
In my opinion, the imperial court buys cheaply and sells dearly to supply the capital, while merchants buy cheaply and sell dearly to meet the needs of the people. There is no conflict between the two. As for those who seek wealth by taking advantage of bad government, they will die unjustly and are not worthy of pity."
What he said also won the support of many people.
The two groups began to quarrel fiercely again.
Xu Zhiqian said: "I never expected that Mr. Su would oppose the new law."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is a dilemma for you."
Xu Zhiqian said: "It doesn't matter if I'm confused, the key is... By the way, what do you think?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "How else can I watch it? Of course I just want to watch the excitement."
It's a little late, but it's also a little bit too big. Please forgive me!
