Chapter 572: Exchange of Interests

Su Shi was put in solitary confinement at home. Su You thought it was very good, but he was too naughty and should be locked up.

This rally is actually to remind Wang Anshi to take good care of his son, otherwise, sooner or later, there will be trouble!

However, Wang Anshi did not come to see him afterwards. Instead, it was his old superior who deployed Chang Pingcang after the war in Shaanxi Province - Han Jiang.

It should be said that Han Jiang and Xue Xiang valued Su You's ability very much. They both hoped that Su You could be more active and stand on their side.

Su You, on the other hand, hoped that the two of them could see clearly the shortcomings of the Dharma practices, correct them, and stand on his side.

Chicken talks to duck.

Xue Xiang has been studying financial theory for a long time, but the old man went to the other extreme, and that extreme has precedent in this dynasty, which is specialization.

Specifically, the state participates in economic activities as a commercial entity and monopolizes some industries. Xue Xiang believes that this is a way to quickly increase the country's income, so he strongly supports Wang Anshi.

They are all economic experts who have worked in Shaanxi. Although there are some differences now, their friendship is still good. Han Jiang is here to speak for Wang Anshi.

In other words, exchange of benefits.

Su You hosted a banquet in Songyang Academy.

Naturally, the two of them chatted about Xue Xiang, and Su You couldn't help but complain: "Mr.

"

This is nonsense. 600,000 yuan was invested backhand in the weapons inspection, and not only made a lot of money, but also had relationships with the Privy Council and the royal family. Is it no better than Jie Yan?

However, this does not prevent Su You from criticizing Xue Xiang's unethical behavior of using salt as a base.

The Han family is very funny.

Han Jiang, Han Wei, and Han Zhen are three brothers. Their father is Han Yi, the famous minister and political advisor, and his mother is the daughter of Wang Dan, the famous prime minister. Han Wei is a veteran of Zhao Xu’s East Palace and is a loyal supporter of Zhao Xu. First, I highly recommend it.

Wang Anshi later opposed the reform.

Then the remaining two brothers were Wang Anshi, who was the same age, and Han Jiang, who was ranked third in the top prize, and both became reformists.

I don’t know if it’s the Han family’s way of not putting eggs in one basket.

This phenomenon is actually very common among aristocratic families, such as brothers Wang Anshi, Wang Anguo and Wang Anli.

What is even more exaggerated is that Lu Jiawen stole a manuscript from his ancestor Lu Gongbi on the New Law and went to seek refuge with Wang Anshi. However, Lu Gongbi expelled him from the house and labeled Lu as a "family thief".

Han Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "Old Xue is miserable now. Is it really a good job for you, Mingrun, to be a shipping envoy?"

Old Man Xue was actually at a disadvantage because of his background, his ancestral shadow was obliquely sealed, and he was blessed by his grandfather. He was not a high official, but he was still Ding Wei's subordinate. So hehehe, he was a born villain and could not even enter the scholar-bureaucrat class.

He was actually very grateful to Wang Anshi, although according to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, once he entered the Shipping Department, he basically could not get out again.

The Shipping Department is also a bad debt, even worse than the Water Transport Department of the Planning Department.

As soon as the old man took office, he discovered that there were inexplicably many shipwrecks in the shipping department.

At first, the old man thought it was because the ship had not been replaced for many years, but he soon found out the truth.

Since there is no way to make progress, the subordinates in the Shipping Department have only one thing left to do - corruption!

Send a ship of grain to a certain place to share the loot, and then sink the ship to report the damage!

The highly profitable shipping sections are controlled by powerful people, while those areas that suffer losses every time are forcibly allocated to small ship owners.

A large number of the ships of the Shipping Department were diverted by officials for private use, and coupled with the problems that Su You wrote to him and mentioned in the letter, the old man was simply as big as his head.

But talent is talent.

"Separate loads into the boats for soliciting passengers to supervise;

All the official boats were seized and given to the state, and all the fortunes were sent to Ben Cao;

The land has good and bad qualities, and its advantages are important and light. This is used as an equation, and the things harvested are used as punishments and rewards."

Introducing competition, strengthening supervision, unifying dispatch, and clarifying regulations on rewards and punishments, with just a few steps, the four-way shipping business was able to be sustained, which even Su You had to admire.

But Su You retorted: "You're asking for trouble. I told you that he sold all those broken ships and engaged in transportation bidding, but he just refused to do it."

Han Jiang said: "You can do it, isn't it all cheaper for your Meishan schooner? What will you do with so many boatmen?"

Su You said: "It just so happens that the Xiang army is going to Jinghu to farm!"

Han Jiang said: "Stop it! Zhongshu is suffering unspeakably like this. Do you still want the military to cause trouble? Just slow down for now."

After a pause, Han Jiang said to Su You: "Mingrun, do you have any objections to participating in politics?"

Su You smiled and said: "I entered Beijing at the same time as Shenzhen. There was a gentleman's agreement at that time. But now it seems that someone is planning to destroy it."

Han Jiang waved her hand: "Don't make trouble! The meaning of participating in politics is that he is not aware of the matter. However, it is an indisputable fact that Da Su obstructed the new law and ridiculed the current government."

Su You said: "That's just right. Different opinions are mixed, and the ancestors have established the law. The best candidate to be the censor."

Han Jiang had a black line on her forehead: "You still think the court is not noisy enough?"

Su You said angrily: "Aren't those who don't make trouble still bullied by you?"

"Here we go again! I said I didn't mean to participate in politics!" After saying that, Han Jiang felt that her tone was a bit harsh, so she softened her tone and said, "Mingrun, how about letting Da Su serve as a foreign minister?"

Su You said: "If you participate in politics, you will be expelled from the Central Academy. I dare not interfere."

Han Jiang took out a letter and handed it to Su You. Su You opened it and saw that it was Su Shi's memorial to invite him to go out.

Su You looked at it and said, "Look, this is the character of my Su family."

Han Jiang waved his hand and said that you should put it down for me. This is a routine rule, okay?! He said: "Now in the Song Dynasty... we have agreed that you cannot go back to Shuzhong. Once you are appointed to the Chengdu Prefecture, you will enter the Planning Department.

.”

"Taijian, Jisi, and Sinong Temple are the core places for the implementation of the new law. They will definitely not work, not even in two years."

Su You said: "You must be reasonable when participating in politics. My family is ranked third in the manufacturing department and the third in the government examination. If you really want him to go to a remote place, then I will recommend him to try the government again. Then we will see who will be embarrassed."

.”

Su You is also a bachelor now, so he really has this qualification, and with the popularity of the Su family, it will only take a matter of minutes to find four big guys to recommend him.

Han Jiang sighed: "Shu Shugu has gone to Hangzhou, Zhao Yuedao has gone to Qingzhou, Bachelor Ouyang is in Caizhou, and Lao Zhang... Lao Zhang is not counted, he has already accepted a burden... In short, these few

Everyone attaches great importance to Zizhan, Mingrun, how about...Hangzhou Tongpan?"

Su You said: "According to Zizhan's resume, he should be the governor of the state."

Han Jiang said: "Of course it is possible to know the state, but if Mingrun is really given to the state, will it harm Zizhan?"

These words are on point. Let Su Shi be the governor of the state. If something happens, no one will be able to protect it.

This baby's current reputation has not reached the level of a national treasure.

Hangzhou also has a huge advantage. The Sitong Company has been operating in the territory for a long time, Zhang San is now the manager there, and it is still the traditional sphere of influence of the strategic partner Qian family.

Han Jiang was attentive.

Su You also had to give face to a family that was about to have a family with four prime ministers: "Thank you for taking part in politics and taking care of him. Zizhan is such a mouthful... Let's just let him go for a few months and see if he learns his lesson."

Han Jiang cupped his hands and said, "Then why bother Mingrun to write a letter to defend Zizhan from the false accusation?"

If there were no steps, they wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

Su You nodded: "That's how it should be."

Su Shi's experience made conservatives very dissatisfied, and they all defended Su Shi.

Fan Zhen, who has left the Tongjin Yintai Department, is a fellow Sichuan fellow and was Su Shi's examiner during the examination. He pointed out that when Su Xun died, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu presented five hundred taels of bribes to each other, but Su Shi declined both.

, there is no reason to sell private salt in order to make small profits.

Su You also wrote a letter, explaining the idea he had given to Lu Huiqing that day, and then said that Da Su had many friends, regardless of his status, so if a businessman friend asked for help, it would be possible for the boy to carry his secrets with him.

The story of the salt traders boarding the ship.

It's definitely not for money, but it's entirely possible because of friendship. Therefore, what Sima Guang and Fan Zhen said cannot let Su Shi escape suspicion.

Please ask your Majesty to have a department investigate the records of ships entering and leaving the port, the account books of Huangsong Bank, as well as the state and county officials and boatmen at the two loading and unloading docks. If he is really so bold, not only the national law, but also the family law is waiting to deal with him.

It was still so watertight, Zhao Xu was very satisfied, I knew Su Mingrun would not show favoritism!
