Chapter 781 Persuasion

When it comes to dinner in the evening, we can’t be careless.

Whitebait is usually soft fried whitebait, whitebait steamed egg, whitebait omelette, etc.

There are so many eels in Taihu Lake that they are caught almost every day.

There are two types of Taihu eel, black eel and pink eel. The radish grown on the tidal soil is peeled and shredded to make a base. The fish is added with slices of ham, mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots, covered with pork net oil and steamed. It is the best in the world.

tasty.

If you catch mandarin fish, then use squirrel mandarin fish; if there is no mandarin fish but carp, then use sweet and sour carp; grass carp is usually made into watercress fish and boiled fish; herring is usually made into fish balls, and pea tips are blanched...

Alfalfa sprouts, also known as grass heads, can be used to cook shrimps and fried mussels; there are also field snails, braised and spicy field snails, which are Shaobao's specialty since he was a child...

So when Wang Anshi's urgent letter was sent to Yong'anwei, asking Su You to go to Jiangning Mansion immediately to discuss important matters, Cai Jing touched his belly with a look of reluctance: "Why are you leaving..."

Su You folded the letter and said: "There is a change in the DPRK. Mr. Wang will be reinstated as Prime Minister!"

The fastest way to get to Jiangning Prefecture from Huzhou is to take a boat to Yixing and then ride a horse along the Yangxian River to Fuyang. It can be reached in two days.

So Su You and Cai Jing hurriedly boarded the ship and rushed to Jiangning.

On the way, we stopped in Yixing for a while and picked up a bunch of boxes covered with brocade from the local Sitong Dalong Kiln.

When the two of them entered Wang Anshi's mansion, Wang Anshi had not yet packed his bags.

Su You held up his hands and said, "Mr. Sir, please set off immediately!"

Wang Anshi put down the official document in his hand: "Mingrun is here, Yuan Chang seems to be a little fatter..."

Su You said: "I have discussed with Yuan Chang, sir, you must rush to Bianjing immediately."

Wang Anshi was still hesitant: "Get up as soon as you call..."

Cai Jing cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the disaster of overthrowing the whole family is imminent. Now is not the time to care about feathers."

Wang Anshi said: "Are you talking about Li Shining? That's not the case."

Su You and Cai Jing looked at each other, and Cai Jing continued: "Mr. Pingfu chased the text and returned it to his hometown. Such a punishment cannot be overstated. Everyone in the court sighed with regret..."

"Even Zheng Xia himself was not punished so severely. Why did the people who were implicated by him receive such treatment? My husband, it was not me who instigated your friendship with Lu Jifu. It is unreasonable to say that there is no means behind this matter.

.”

"Also, after the sacrifice in the suburbs, Lu Jifu recommended Xianggong as the governor and Shaobao as the bachelor of the palace. What was his intention? Even Zihou couldn't stand it, and Xianggong Han was also wary."

"Now when we look into Li Shining more deeply, we find that none of these Lu Jifus have discussed with Xianggong Han and just acted on their own."

"What is Li Shining's crime? Instigating rebellion! This is why your majesty has repeatedly blocked Lu Jifu's proposal while still keeping Jane in the emperor's heart."

"But my husband is losing money day by day. How many of the talents who were promoted and rewarded in the past are left in the government now? There are almost no people left who can argue with my husband in front of His Majesty!"

Seeing that Wang Anshi looked a little unhappy, Su You quickly stopped Cai Jing: "My lord, even if it's not for these reasons, you should go to Bianjing."

Wang Anshi looked at him: "Oh? What did Mingrun mean?"

Su You said: "If Suhu is familiar with it, the world will be satisfied. Now the government seems to regard this as a joke."

"For such a national event, how can it be reasonable not to allocate even a penny to the two Zhejiang roads?"

"Now it seems that there is still one less person in the court who understands this important matter, can preside over this overall situation, and can explain its importance to His Majesty."

"My lord, what is the concept of the country being able to produce an additional 120 million shi of grain every year? With so much grain in stock, is the problem of Hebei still a problem? Will the national treasury still be exhausted? Can the soldiers not be trained? The country

Is it still necessary to suppress the border generals from starting a war because they are afraid that the rewards will not be distributed? The conservatives' idea of ​​'consolidating the country's foundation first, and then considering progress' is in contradiction with Xianggong. Is it still a contradiction?"

"Mr. Sir, the development of Suhu Lake is a good medicine for the Song Dynasty to come back to life, and it will be effective soon!"

"As long as you give me another five years, no, two years, even if Su Lake is half developed, I can correct the prejudices of the government and the public, and the national situation will undergo fundamental changes!"

"My husband... Su You is not afraid of anything. What he is afraid of is... there are people in the court who are not even willing to give me two years..."

"His Majesty personally praised the Prime Minister back then, saying that among all the ministers, only Anshi could be responsible for the country. Now if you don't shoulder this responsibility, look at the world, who else can you do?!"

"This is not only needed by His Majesty, but also by the imperial court, the two Zhejiang roads, and the world."

After speaking, he took two steps back and gave a deep salute: "Su You, I sincerely ask you, sir, to enter the court immediately and regain your prime ministership!"

Wang Anshi's eyes were filled with tears: "In the seven years since the new law was introduced, people have been debating it fiercely. I have used my dishonorable body to allow the world to complain."

"Both the government and the public regard us as a scourge; old friends and relatives have turned into strangers and enemies."

After saying that, he smiled to himself: "Mingrun, you should always laugh at my incompetence, right?"

"Huh?" Su You was stunned for a moment: "Su You doesn't agree with Sima Xueshi's theory of virtue and talent; Su You still doesn't agree with many of Xianggong's practices; it can be said that... each has his or her own insistence."

"But speaking of one thing, everyone should still be consistent in their concern for the country and its people."

"But other people are either not qualified for a while, or I don't trust them very much. Therefore, I think that the time is right for Xianggong to enter the court to uphold great policies, and Su You actively responds and cooperates on the road between Zhejiang and Zhejiang."

"As long as the overall development of Suhu Lake is improved, can the radical policies of increasing foreign investment before my husband be eased? Can the conflicts with the government and the opposition also be eased? Can the national finances be eased?

Breathe a sigh of relief? Publicly and privately, can the resentment on my husband be reduced a bit?"

Wang Anshi stood up and said: "Mingrun, when you and I sailed to Beijing together, why didn't you talk about everything you did afterwards?"

Su You smiled bitterly: "Mr. sir, things are always done step by step. Achievements and abilities are also accumulated bit by bit."

"The piles you mentioned, each pile and each piece, are built on the basis of the previous pile."

"So, they are never empty talks. Instead, they plan the next step based on the results at the current stage. There are some situations that Suzhou Oil cannot consider beforehand."

"Xiangong, if I tell you at that time, in fact, there is nothing to fear from the Xia people, there is nothing to worry about in Shaanxi, Hengshan can be caressed, Qingtang can be harvested, the Yellow River can be controlled, Jinghu can be cultivated, and tell Xianggong that there are 200,000 hectares of fertile land around Taihu Lake, etc.

As we develop, there is endless land beyond the four seas...Do you believe it? What will it mean to me??"

Wang Anshi laughed so loudly that he burst into tears: "If I had heard about it then, I would have thought that I was so crazy that I wanted to steal my reputation!"

After speaking, he shook his head and put his hand on his shoulder: "Looking back now, I am born in the Song Dynasty and it is a great blessing for me, the Emperor Song!"

Su You bowed and said, "I am sorry to say that I am not pleased with this, but a Kuaiyin boat from Sitong Company has been prepared at Jiangkou. It will go up the Bian Canal and reach Bianjing in seven days."

Wang Anshi took a step and left: "Then what are you waiting for? I'm leaving now!"

Su You opened his mouth and wanted to say that you haven't packed your bags yet, but then he shut up obediently.

Looking at the dark collar at the back of your neck, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this slovenly guy.

…

In February, there was a small court meeting, and officials from the two governments played an important role.

Lu Huiqing already had Li Shining's confession in hand and asked Deng Wan to write the bullets last night and prepare to launch an attack today.

The ministers came to the palace, Zhao Xu came out and sat down, and then began to play.

There are many things going on, the first of which is the follow-up to a major event between the DPRK and China in December last year.

Su You's old comrade-in-arms, Deputy Privy Councilor Cai Ting, suffered from rheumatism and fell to the ground when he was performing something in the palace. The servants helped him to the west chamber, and Shenzong personally came to give him medicine, and he returned home from the palace.

After that, Cai Ting became bedridden and repeatedly requested to be dismissed from office, and was given preferential leave so that he could treat his illness with peace of mind.

Cai Ting had a promising son, who was now Liu Si's good comrade-in-arms - Taichang Temple Cheng, who was directed to Jixian Academy, and Quan Fa sent Cai Ye, the deputy envoy to Jinghu South Road.

He had accomplished many military exploits in Jingnan before, but Cai Ting resigned on behalf of his son because he was the Deputy Privy Envoy.

Cai Ye succeeded his elder brother Cai Kang. Cai Ting now said: Cai Kang has a son, Cai Qianqin, and requested that Cai Ye be dismissed from office and returned to his clan.

Zhao Xu felt very sorry for Cai Ting, so today he summoned Cai Ye to return to the clan without regaining his official position.
