Wang Anguo laughed and said: "A few days ago, everyone was commenting on the new poems that have been circulated recently. Everyone said that Run's 'Plowing the plow in the rainy fields passed by Han Kuang, and the dredged wells in the clear suburbs appeared Zhou Yi.' was quite exciting, but the eldest brother said that he had heard a poem recently.

"Ode to the Snow", one of the lines, 'The jade building is frozen and trembles with chills, and the light shakes the silver sea and dazzles the flowers.' is even more magical."

"At that time, some people thought that the words Jade Tower and Silver Sea were too vulgar and overused to describe the snow scene, and were neither vivid nor vivid..."

"The eldest brother laughed and said that we don't study. The Jade Tower and the Silver Sea are Taoist allusions."

"The jade tower is the shoulder. The first sentence means that the snow accumulates on the shoulders, making goose bumps from the cold; the silver sea is the eyes, and the second sentence means that the snowflakes are waving, making the glare dazzling."

Su You looked at Wang Yu and smiled: "I wonder who this 'someone' is?"

Wang Yu was annoyed: "It's not me!"

If you don't blame it, it's boring. Su You actually didn't know these two allusions, so he criticized it seriously: "The article is for people to read. Da Su's use of such uncommon allusions is not writing poetry, but guessing riddles. It's not good or bad. It's a good thing."

I can't bear to praise you too much."

I heard laughter outside the hall: "Mingrun is also good at guessing riddles? Let me guess one - he often follows high-ranking officials and is full of elegant articles. Sometimes he wears red makeup and loves flowers in front of flowers and under the moon. What is this?"

But Wang Anshi came back, followed by Lu Huiqing who was smiling bitterly and shaking his head. It seemed that Wang Anshi had killed a lot of brain cells in this kid's life.

Su You quickly stood up and saluted: "I've seen your husband, I've seen him offering wine."

Lu Huiqing now has an official position, which is to judge the Imperial Academy, so it can be called a sacrificial wine.

After everyone sat down after the ceremony, Su You said, "That thing your husband mentioned just now is a seal, right?"

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Exactly, let's have another one! Well... the general is a spirit of the Five Elements, and he looks at Yanshan Mountain and Stone City every day. When he succeeds, he retires, leaving his confidants for the sake of the common people."

Su You smiled and said: "I am good at this. When I was a child, I first did this for my brothers and sisters in the Earth Temple to support them - tile steamer! Right?"

Wang Anshi was so happy: "I forgot about Mingrun's power, it is the tile steamer! It seems that Mingrun is in the capital. I will make mini quizzes in the future, so I won't be lonely anymore!"

Wang Anshi was so good at this that he later wrote a riddle book.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then they got to the main topic.

Wang Anshi asked: "I heard that you went to various counties to inspect? Did you gain anything?"

Su You put away his smile and said, "I have learned a lot. I was about to talk to my husband about this."

He took out a large, thick book from his school bag. It was in the format of a later investigation report. First there was the title, then the outline and subtitles, and the corresponding page numbers. You could easily turn to the desired page number.

On the cover of the large album is a line of large characters - "Records of Inspections and Information of Kaifeng Counties in the Sixth Year of Xining".

Wang Anshi opened the report: "This method is good, it can be said that the outline is clear, and Zhongshu University can use it."

However, the more he turned over, the more frightened he became, and then he became furious: "Mingrun! What are you going to do?"

Su You's face didn't change: "Mr. Sir, I just compiled the data and facts, but these things actually happened within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng."

"It's not what I want. As Su You'an is an official who is close to the people, he must consider the people of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Seeing that the harmonious atmosphere just now turned cold, Lu Huiqing quickly took the booklet from Wang Anshi, flipped through a few pages, and then said quietly: "Mingrun, this is a summary of our achievements over the past few years.

Is the money worthless? I and all the princes in the court are dead and eating nothing?"

Su You held up his hand and said, "That's not the case. My husband devoted himself wholeheartedly and worked hard for the country. Now the Song Dynasty has shown signs of rejuvenation."

"Shaanxi was stable, the Qing and Tang Dynasties were enterprising, Hunan was developed, and Hebei was governed. We refreshed the military and political affairs, eliminated redundancies, reduced clan clans, and fought against mergers. These are of course the achievements of our husband."

Lu Huiqing sighed: "Then you are still collecting materials. Are you preparing to let the prince take his place?"

Wang Yu only glanced at the catalog, then he became furious and threw the book to the ground: "Su Mingrun! You are so arrogant and rebellious! Do you think you are irreplaceable? You can be so unscrupulous?"

"Wang Zichun is in Qinfeng, and Zhang Zihou is in Jinghu. They can do better than you! Be more honest, and you still have a chance!"

Su You glanced at Wang Yu and said, "Brother Wang is not in good health. Please be aware that anger can harm your body. Please calm down your thunderous wrath."

"What my husband and I are discussing are state affairs, and everyone is in peace. This is the basis for discussion."

After saying that, he raised the big book from the ground and put it in Wang Anshi's hand again: "My husband is the one who knows me. If it is for his own selfishness, now this report has been passed over to your majesty. I am

The bachelor of Longtuge is still the governor of Kaifeng, so he has the right to directly report."

"I'm worried that my husband has been misunderstood by his subordinates. He only sees prosperity and cannot see the dangers."

"My lord, when you and I sailed to Beijing together, we encouraged each other to do our best for the country and the common people."

"But what about now?"

"When my husband implemented the Green Seed Law, I fully cooperated with him in Shaanxi and believed that this law was a strategy to save the people."

"It is indeed a policy to save the people. Now in Shaanxi, 120,000 lower-income households have been relieved of hardship and have seen the hope of life."

"I thought that Kaifeng, the most prosperous district, should be better than Shaanxi, but what happened?"

"Last year, I asked Zhongshu to announce two figures. First, how many households received the help of Youth Seekers and were able to escape poverty and become a common people. Second, how many households received the help of Green Seekers. This year, they do not need to renew their loans and can stand on their own feet.

"

"Zhongshu didn't report it, so I had to investigate on my own."

"The results are shocking. Only 160,000 households in Xiangfu County raised 350,000 guan for young crops last year! This year it has become 380,000 guan! However, Kaifeng Prefecture has not paid a penny, and the extra book figure is last year's

The interest cannot be paid, but penalty interest will be charged for late payment!”

"What has become of the Young Crops Law?! What was the original intention of suppressing mergers and strengthening the fundamentals as promised?"

"For the exemption money, 200,000 households in Kaifeng County paid a total of 200,000 yuan. The same is true for other counties. The average per household is consistent. I heard it is the lowest in the country! The two Zhejiang roads have doubled this number!"

"And the salary required for subordinate officials in Kaifeng Prefecture is only 7,000 guan a year. So how much of the remaining free money and free money is used for service? Is there so much service in Bianjing? Rivers and canals,

Wells, roads, water transportation, how many services have been carried out? How many improvements have been made?"

"The results of the investigation are also very disappointing."

"What has become of the Labor Exemption Law?! What was Qian Li's original intention when it was agreed to reduce labor service?"

"Shiyi Division, based on His Majesty's internal treasury of one million guan, later added 680,000 guan on Jingdong Road. However, in just half a year, it made a profit of 7 million guan!"

"But where did all this money come from?!"

"In the past, the monopoly of the fruit industry was certainly a merger. Prime Minister Wen used the fruit industry to attack the market law. You said it was slander."

"But have you really investigated it accurately? In the past, fruits were shipped to Bianjing and were monopolized by Yashili. They were wholesaled and then sold at retail, making the profit nearly doubled. This was certainly a merger."

"But isn't Shiyi Division annexed?!"

Lu Huiqing immediately said: "But the fruits obtained by the official are indeed better and the price is lower. Isn't this the benefit of the market change law? As for whether it is a merger, Xianggong's refutation of Wen Xianggong has already explained it very clearly."

Su You sneered and said: "Sorry, I'm very unclear. What is the definition of a merchant? It's just chasing profits. What Shi Yisi does is exactly the same!"

"The price of fruit in Jingzhong has dropped because Shuzhong and Jinghu have promoted a new technology."

"A kind of thin wax was invented in Shuzhong. When sprayed on the fruit, it can produce a thin wax film, which can extend the shelf life of the fruit. It is especially effective for pomegranates, pears, apples, citrus, and pomelo."

"With the addition of canned fruits, the price of fruits arriving in Bianjing this year has been reduced by half!"

"When the fruit enters the market and comes out again, the wholesale price is only 20% lower than last year. The market demand is greatly satisfied, and the retail price for ordinary people is slightly lower, about 10%."

"For the entire fruit sales chain, the price has indeed dropped, and the small people and the government have indeed benefited, but is this the credit of the Municipal Yisi? It just replaced the fruit shop and started the merger itself, and it was even more

Just pursuing huge profits!”

"Shi Yisi seems to have made a lot of money for the imperial court, but how is seven million dollars made up?"

"One by one, the accounts of Huangsong Bank are listed very clearly. It is very easy for the accounting department to check them."

"I can tell you that the 7 million yuan of Shi Yisi was obtained from the merger of big merchants!"

"Among them, the difference in the transaction amount of the fruit shop is as high as 1 million yuan!"
