Wang Anguo saw that his brother was deep in thought.
He didn't dare to guess what his brother meant, but he also tried to figure out what the deep meaning was in Zhang Yue's article.
Gather all the wealth in the world and use it?
How to use?
But I saw Wang Anshi pacing and mumbling to himself.
Wang Anguo suddenly asked Wang Anshi: "Third brother, is there anything wrong with this letter?"
Wang Anshi said to Wang Anguo: "I remember when you were talking to Zhang Duzhi, he once told you that the reform lies in enriching the country. To make the country rich, if you don't take it from the top, you will take it from the bottom. If you take it from the bottom, the country will perish. The fall of Qin
Is it because we have failed the people rather than because we have failed benevolence and righteousness?”
Wang Anguo was stunned and said: "Yes, third brother, you still remember these words."
Wang Anshi said nothing.
Wang Anguo said: "I remember Duzhi also said that the law of change cannot be based on the two words of benevolence and righteousness, but must make up for the loss of benevolence and righteousness with benefits? Could it be that...could it be that the benefits lie in Zhou Li's Six Policies of Guaranteed Interest and Nine Benefits?
?”
Wang Anguo suddenly understood, and Wang Anli thought about it for a while and also understood.
Gather the wealth of the world in the imperial court, and then what? The Qin Dynasty fell because of excessive expropriation, but what if it was taken from the people and used for the people?
How to use it for the people depends on the method of benefiting the people.
How to benefit the people? In the Interest Guarantee Nine Benefits.
Zhang Yue went round and round and said exactly what he meant.
Reforms will definitely be opposed by those with vested interests, but if the money collected can be distributed to the orphans, the elderly and the weak in a way that benefits the people.
Let the common people get tangible benefits, so that the bad reputation brought by the reform to amass money can be reduced.
Take the people's wealth and use it to help the people.
Of course, what Zhang Yue said was only one. Judging from the length of the article that follows, there are several more. I don’t know what he wrote.
But definitely every step of it will contribute to the reform.
At this moment, Wang Anguo finally understood what Zhang Yue meant when he said: "Third brother, I am not asking for favors and recommending you, but to be practical and devoted to state affairs. Isn't this idea consistent with the three opinions?
Is it your idea to gather all the wealth in the world for national use?"
Wang Anshi said nothing when he heard this.
Wang Anli on the side said: "Yes, third brother, I was a little worried about saving him before, but I have known him for many years, and he is not one of those who only pursues fame and wealth. Otherwise, he and his second brother Zhang Zihou would have reconciled long ago.
Already."
Wang Anshi was still speechless.
Wang Anli couldn't help but paused and said: "I will really be ashamed to see you in the future. Such an analysis of the liver and gallbladder is a mistake."
Wang Anguo said: "I'll forget it. Even if I don't blame him, what else can I say, and how can I see him in any way? From now on, you and I should not go to Shao Zhuyuan to look for him."
Although Wang Anguo said this, he still kept peeking at Wang Anshi's expression.
In the end, Wang Anshi put the letter on his body and turned back to the study.
The two brothers were helpless. After all the talking, they still failed to impress Wang Anshi. However, there was a change. In the past, Wang Anshi would not read Zhang Yue's articles when they were sent to him, but at least he accepted this letter.
Wang Anshi returned to his study and took out the memorial he wrote yesterday and rewrote it. This was his eighth memorial to reject the emperor's edict.
Now Wang Anshi revised his writing, and at the end of the letter he agreed to the emperor's appointment to teach him a life course, and expressed his determination to repay the emperor's kindness.
After writing the letter, Wang Anshi picked up Zhang Yue's broken letter and took a look at it, then placed it at the bottom of a pile of letters on the desk and put them together in the letter box.
Wang Anshi took out the key from his waist and locked it.
This letter just lay quietly in the box.
After Wang Anshi put the box in the cabinet, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery in the courtyard and said, "I don't believe what I learned!"
Mid-December.
The candidates for deputy examiners were finally decided on: Fan Zhen and Wang Chou.
Wang Kui and two other examiners stayed in Gongyuan together.
A curtain was set up in the capital hall where the examiners were located, and curtains were placed on both sides so that no one could see from inside or outside. As for the examiners and officials, they were not allowed to come to the hall without permission.
This is the examination system of inner curtain and outer curtain.
Officials of the outer curtain are not allowed to enter without permission, but officials of the inner curtain are not forbidden by the famous saying, but it is best not to enter.
As for the Song Dynasty Provincial Examination, there are two procedures: preliminary examination and re-examination. That is, the examiner first reads the paper, waits for the Chinese-style paper to be graded, and then orders the re-examiner to evaluate the Chinese-style paper. It seems that the chief examiner has not Engaging in malpractice for personal gain and taking out unqualified papers.
However, in the second year of Tiansheng's reign, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty abolished the system of preliminary examination and re-examination, and repeatedly emphasized the rules of the inner curtain and the outer curtain official.
In addition to the three Zhi Gongju, there are also ten inspectors.
The examiner will read all the papers first, write his own comments and assign a grade, and then the Zhi Gong Ju will evaluate the papers and decide whether to keep them high or low as a preparatory school.
Zhi Gongju and the inspector were isolated internally and externally, and there was no discussion between the two parties.
In addition, there are standard regulations for writing papers that do not wait for examinations and dots, so that each paper has a legal basis for admission or rejection.
All in all, the provincial examination is ten times more rigorous than the interpretation examination.
Moreover, after the provincial examination and before the results were released, as usual, the examiner would make a copy of the top ten papers and submit them to the emperor for review. This meant that these ten papers were carefully selected.
Of course, these systems were slowly found and broken in the future, but this was also the reason why the law had long-standing disadvantages.
The emperor implemented a name-blinding system, and after the emperor expressed his determination to recruit scholars in isolation, he indeed screened out a large number of people with real talents and learning.
Of course Wang Gui understood this. He was a very meticulous person and knew how to figure out the superior's ideas. He and Wang Anshi were Jinshi in the same year, he was the second, Wang Anshi was the fourth, and his talent was not inferior to Wang Anshi's.
Fan Zhen said to Wang Gui and Wang Chou: "Nowadays, the court wants to change the imperial examination, change the pronunciation and rhythm into discussion, and change Moyi into righteousness. This is very different from when we first went to school."
The rhythm is discussion, which means lowering the status of poetry and exalting policy.
Changing Mo Yi to Da Yi means changing the classics from exegesis to chapters and sentences.
Both of these points caused dissatisfaction with Fan Zhen, who opposed change and encouraged conservatism.
Wang Gui said: "No matter what Mr. Fan is doing, poetry and poetry are still the first stage this time. As for discussion, they are the second stage, policy is the third stage, and sutras are the last stage. Generally speaking, the old method before Qingli is used."
Fan Zhendao: "That's true, but nowadays the debate between poetry and classics is becoming more and more fierce. I looked at the papers submitted by Bianjing and the Imperial College before, and I can say that the poetry of these candidates is not as good as before."
"I think the strategy of recruiting scholars is not good for poor families, but beneficial to officials."
Wang Gui thought for a while and said: "I think it is better to be like this. Pure poems are considered superior, and insightful articles are considered superior."
Fan Zhen and Wang Chou both nodded in agreement.
Wang Gui said: "But the candidates still need to explain something. We will draft a manuscript and post it outside the gate of Gongyuan. We will talk about the shortcomings of recent emphasis on policy and discussion and neglect of poetry and poetry, and then post it outside."
Both Fan and Wang praised it: "This argument is very good. It can be called upright and upright."
After this notice was posted, it naturally reached Zhang Yue's ears.
Zhang Yue secretly said that it was not good. It seems that the proportion of poems and poems in the provincial examination has increased. It seems that it is not easy to get a good ranking like in the interpretation examination!
