Seeing the familiar situation, Guan Jia fell into silence, he was deep in thought at the moment.
At the Xuande Gate, he gave Zhang Yue a seat and said that he would pretend to be Huang Shang and rule the world, so that Zhang Yue could contribute to the country and dare to be the first in the world in national affairs.
But I didn't expect that after Zhang Yue took charge of the political affairs, he would chop himself with the first knife.
The official felt as if he had shot himself in the foot: "If the fifth-class household's assistance money is missing, what year and month will I have to wait before I can conquer Xia?"
After hearing what the officials said, the ministers were speechless. Zhang Yue thought to himself that he wished the emperor was the kind of monarch who likes to eat, drink and have fun, but the officials just wanted to make a difference.
Zhang Yue did not speak, but Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the expedition to conquer Xia is not inconsistent with the matter of exempting the fifth-class households from paying for service. Only by being lenient to the people can we avoid hardships and hardships."
The official said: "Although the fifth-class households in the world live in the seventh or eighth, they receive very little service money. I have also granted permission to waive half of their service money. The common people will not suffer like this. I heard that the country
Without three years' savings, the country is not its own country. I am also managing money for the benefit of the world. I am not using this money to build pavilions and pavilions for my own personal use."
Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country, how can we abandon the foundation and chase the weak. I honestly say that the people of Huaihe, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi are all suffering. This is what I have been reporting on disasters and civil unrest in various places gathered in Zhongshu these days.
I would like to ask Your Majesty to read this memorial."
The officials read the memorial, but saw what was said above.
Cao Village on the Yellow River burst, and people were displaced...
He also said that in Xuzhou and Huaiyang, the army had more than a million hectares of fertile farmland, but the water had receded so late that no wheat could be grown...
The official was upset when he saw it. He covered up the scroll and put it aside. Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty has been in charge for a long time. We are afraid of the majesty of the superiors and dare not break the rules. Today, I risk my life to remonstrate with you. Please accept it. If your Majesty can subdue it,
Yes, I will die without regrets."
Zhang Yue was secretly grateful to Han Jiang for standing up at this critical moment today.
This exemption law was originally the political power of Zhang Yue and Han Jiang. If this matter was not implemented, their prestige would be severely damaged.
Therefore, Han Jiang did not hesitate to fall out with Wang Anshi in the second year of Xining, and even now he wants to change the exemption law back.
The officials were still hesitant. To the west, Lu Huiqing was still training his troops and generals.
When he took office in Yanzhou, he kept giving instructions to the officials, such as the method of training Shaanxi's four-pronged troops and generals, and how to deploy strategies to deal with Xixia's attack. Lu Huiqing was extremely talented and knew the emperor's thoughts well, so what he made
The meaning perfectly hits the official's intention to "capture Hengshan".
Lu Huiqing repeatedly stated that since the ruler of Xixia was at odds with the Empress Dowager Liang and the prime minister, this was a great opportunity to launch a massive attack on Xixia and seize Hengshan.
But to realize Lu Huiqing's strategy, money must be used.
Now that I am short of this money, my grand plans are out of the question.
When the officials looked at some of the Zhongshu, Wang Gui of Yuan Jiang never spoke, which seemed not to be what Zhang Yue and Han Jiang thought.
Han Jiang saw the official frowning, knowing that something was about to happen.
But at this moment, Zhang Yue stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. From next year, the six million ministers who are exempted from military service will be supplied to your Majesty from elsewhere."
As soon as these words came out, Han Jiang was happy at first and then darkened again. Even Yuan Jiang and Wang Gui looked surprised.
The official's eyes lit up and asked: "Is this true?"
Zhang Yue said: "If I can't do it, please ask your Majesty to punish me."
Feng Jing said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue's words are unbelievable! Six million dollars a year is not a few words that can be believed. Since the imperial court introduced the Young Crops Law, the Free Service Law, and the Market Change Law, the people have been extremely poor. What can be done now?
Find these six million strings."
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yue said that he should be punished, but who else in the world except Your Majesty would dare to punish him for participating in political affairs?"
Zhang Yue stepped forward and said categorically: "Your Majesty, if I say it's okay, it's okay."
Wang Gui and Yuan Jiang couldn't help but look sideways.
After hearing this, the official was silent for a while and finally said: "As long as Zhang Qing can find these six million strings next year, I will agree to this!"
After the officials finished speaking, Han Jiang and Zhang Yue were overjoyed.
The exemption law replaced the conscription law and was finally passed after many twists and turns.
After retiring, Han Jiang wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Zhang Yue: "This victory is really extremely dangerous. Just now, Wang Xiangyuan Shen did not come forward to speak for you or me, so that your majesty could see that the familiar statement was drawn up, but the letter was not consistent.
"
Zhang Yue said: "Yuan Shensu and we are not of the same mind. It's just that Wang Shiguan's attitude has changed recently."
Han Jiang said: "Yes, people have their own desires after they have been in power for a long time. I am the same age as Jiefu in the Wang Shiguan. When Jiefu was here, he has been dormant. And when I was the prime minister, he
I feel that there is no need to do anything to me like you did to Jiefu."
Zhang Yue said: "Do you mind, Mr. Han?"
Han Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you mind? The worst thing is, 'We will decline, we will decline, and Hu will not return'."
Zhang Yue said: "Prime Minister, you and I have just begun to revolutionize the world. You must not have any intention of retreating."
Han Jiang smiled and said: "I said it out of anger. Today, the exemption law is established, which can be considered as a fulfillment of my long-cherished wish. So today I am resigning from the position, and I am no longer the prime minister of Wuwei. I have no regrets in this life!"
After saying this, Han Jiang, who had always been restrained, also became a little emotional.
Zhang Yue said: "Prime Minister, please don't be too happy. I don't know how this reform will turn out when it comes down to it. I still have to personally supervise the military and county affairs in Luzhou."
Han Jiang smiled and said: "Don't mention so much, you and I are going to have a drink together today."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Yes."
Immediately, Han Jiang and Zhang Yue took only a few followers with them, left the palace incognito and went straight to Fan Tower.
The store owner recognized Han Jiang and Zhang Yue's identities and respectfully welcomed them to the west building of Fan Tower.
Restaurants in the world only have three floors at most. Although Fan Tower only has three floors, its three floors are as high as the five floors of other restaurants.
Zhang Yue and Han Jiang went straight to the third floor, which is also the highest point.
Han Jiang and Zhang Yue were drinking and chatting and laughing over some delicious side dishes.
With a panoramic view of the entire Bianjing, Han Jiang and Zhang Yue drank together in the west building, looking at the scenery of the imperial city under the setting sun.
When one of the servants in Fan Tower saw them, he couldn't help but asked another servant: "Who are these two people? Why have I never seen them before on the third floor to have a drink?"
Another person said: "Everyone in Bianjing City knows that idlers can only have wine on the first floor of the Fan Tower, and those who can climb the Fan Tower are either rich or noble. As for those who can climb the third floor of the West Tower, they are even more expensive."
"
"As for the west tower of Fan Tower, no one is allowed to look westward at the Imperial City. They can have wine here and look at the Imperial City. Don't ask about it, otherwise your life will be at risk."
The other party smacked his tongue and said, "Isn't it okay if I don't ask?"
Not only the servants, but also the other guests in Fan Tower also speculated on the identities of the two people on the third floor.
On the west floor, Han Jiang asked with a smile: "Is this your first time here?"
Zhang Yue drank a glass of wine and nodded: "I never expected the view on the third floor to be like this. No wonder everyone wants to sit high."
Han Jiang said with emotion: "The first floor has a beautiful view, but it's also very cold up there. You'll know when you sit here in the future."
