The attic where Han Jiang is located is located deep in the manor.
Half an acre of pond was dug next to it. There is a bamboo forest beside the pond, which perfectly covers the red roof tiles and the overhanging eaves in the distance. When you get to the attic, you climb up the steps step by step. You will see the natural scenery in front of you, as if you are lost.
Living in the world is normal.
There were two famous Han families in the Song Dynasty, one was the Xiangzhou Han family of Han Qi, and the other was the Tongmu Han family of Han Yi.
There is a saying that "Tangdi was the prime minister in Xingzhong, and his name Wutong recognized the Han family."
Han Yi was born into a poor family but rose to the rank of Prime Minister. His wife was the daughter of the famous Prime Minister Wang Zeng.
The Wang family taught their children well, and all eight of their sons were awarded Jinshi, which was really the envy of others.
And the old man Han Jiang that Zhang Yue met was Han Yi's third son.
Han Jiang seemed to hear the sound of footsteps and turned around. Zhang Yue looked at him for a moment, but saw that his face was thin and his eyes were small and bright, but he had the air of an official.
A person like Han Jiang, who was born in a government office, was born with political resources. When he was young, he studied hard to become a Jinshi, and when he became an official, he could focus on his official career. His future would be unmatched by others.
It's like a classmate in the class whose family is richer than yours, smarter than you, and more diligent than you in studying. Facing such people, you should have no chance to surpass them in this life.
It is known from history that Zhang Yue also knew that this old man had great political ambitions, otherwise he would not have helped Wang Anshi to ascend the throne and carry out reforms.
He is not only Wang Anshi's Bole, but also Cai Que's Bole.
Han Jiang greeted: "Du Zhi, come and sit down."
Zhang Yue said cautiously: "Han Gong is above, but I dare not."
"You're welcome. Take a look at the antique calligraphy and paintings in my collection."
Zhang Yue had just focused his attention on Han Jiang, and then he saw various antiques, calligraphy and paintings placed in the attic. The most eye-catching thing was the huge square tripod placed in the attic.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Han Jiang didn't come to see him for antiques.
But when Han Jiang touched Fang Ding with his hand and said, "The tripod represents martial arts. In ancient times, when great generals made unparalleled military exploits, kings would inscribe them on the tripod to record their achievements."
Zhang Yue said: "I heard that when Han Gong was guarding Qingzhou, he did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and the Tibetan and Han Dynasties returned home. This is indeed the style of famous generals in ancient times."
When Zhang Yue met, he was greeted with a high hat.
Han Jiang said lightly: "Oh, I can't afford it."
Well, why is this flattery flattering me again?
Zhang Yue thought to himself, don’t all of us Song Dynasty officials follow this trick?
The atmosphere in the pavilion was slightly solemn.
Han Jiang said: "When I learned about Qingzhou, there was a Tibetan general who was familiar with the Tibetans and made military exploits many times but was never rewarded by the court. Once, he robbed the grass market after a battle. As the governor of Qingzhou, I have no excuse to hold him accountable."
"But this Tibetan general did not take the initiative to bind him after he was found guilty, but returned to his tribe. This man has thousands of elite soldiers. I am worried that capturing him may lead to a mutiny, but if he is not punished, it will not be enough to disappoint the people. What do you think I should do?
"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, it turned out that it was up to the school to test its own abilities.
Zhang Yue said: "This matter is really difficult. If you don't reward when you should reward, you can't reward now if you are guilty. You can't punish him, after all, he is a person who has made meritorious deeds, let alone act rashly and cause a sudden change."
Zhang Yue thought for a while and asked, "Does this person have any children?"
"I have a son serving in the army."
"Is your father still alive?"
"Therefore."
Zhang Yue said: "This man has repeatedly made military exploits without being rewarded, so he is resentful and resentful. In this way, the imperial court can reward the deceased father for his military exploits. Even if the dead man's name is given as high as possible, it can eliminate his incompetence."
Reward the heart of resentment."
"Promote his son to be a general, eliminate his suspicion, and finally send an envoy. He will come when summoned. How to deal with it is up to Han Gong."
Han Jiang thought for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.
This is exactly why he came to Beijing this time, and he had poked this big hole before.
He consulted others, and the opinions they gave were either rewarded or punished. As the day of meeting the emperor came, Han Jiang suffered from being unable to explain himself in front of the king.
Now Zhang Yue thought that although the other party's articles were good, he had no experience in serving as an official, so he could use this method to test his talent.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhang Yue's words, my problem was solved.
Han Jiang said with a smile: "When I came to Beijing and met Wang Jiefu of the same year, he once said that although the number one scholar was brilliant in literature and good at governing, he unfortunately had no skills. Now it seems that Wang Jiefu's words cannot be trusted."
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart, Wang Anshi, you are slandering me again. He also thought that Wang Anshi and Han Jiang were of the same age, no wonder they had such a good relationship.
Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, Han Jiang said: "Hey, Jiefu has always been very responsible for himself. To be able to save him with just one sentence is a very high praise. But I think he has both a way and a skill. It's really
Talent is rare.”
Zhang Yue said humbly: "Mr. Han is so complimentary."
Han Jiang said calmly: "I always have something to say, and I never praise others in vain."
Zhang Yue is a little embarrassed. He is too modest. Does it make you feel fake?
Han Jiang chatted with Zhang Yue and said: "When the rich husband was in power, everything was done according to the rules. It was not that he had no ambition to reform the long-standing shortcomings, but he always looked forward and backward, and did things in a sluggish way. This is really disappointing, so I said
Even if he is not appointed as censor, he will be impeached."
Zhang Yue said: "The rich minister is prudent, but he seeks too much perfection. You need to know that correcting the wrong will lead to the right, and the fault is better than the fault."
When Han Jiang heard this, she clapped her legs and said in appreciation: "This is exactly what I meant."
Zhang Yue somewhat understood Han Jiang's approach, and immediately stopped being modest and nodded reservedly.
Han Jiang sighed: "Too few people in the world understand this. They are only willing to tinker with it, but have no ambition to rebuild it."
Zhang Yue suddenly realized that after time traveling, he only remembered that Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and others supported the reform.
But Han Jiang was left out.
Without Han Jiang, there would be no Wang Anshi. Han Jiang, a staunch reformist, didn't even realize it.
"I have served as an official in the west of Beijing, Jiangnan, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Shaanxi. Everywhere I mentioned the disadvantages that harmed farmers, the most serious was the law of servitude. The first yamen will often lead to bankruptcy, and the second is state servitude..."
Han Jiang and Zhang Yue talked about the disadvantages of serving in Yamen...
Zhang Yue subconsciously thought that the most important thing in Wang Anshi's reform was to change the labor law into a labor law.
Unexpectedly, the person who promoted this method in history was not Wang Anshi but Han Jiang. Historically, Wang Anshi also said that today's speech is about Jiang's original discussion.
Han Jiang said: "Although I know the harm, I can't think of a way to change it. What can you teach me about how to deal with it?"
Historically, Han Jiang put forward his opinions, but it was the courageous Wang Anshi who really promoted the implementation.
However, the opinion on the exemption law came from Li Jie, a Jinshi when Han Jiang knew Chengdu. But now Han Jiang has not yet known Chengdu, so no wonder he doesn't know how to do it.
Zhang Yue immediately said: "Han Gongguo has the intention of helping the king and the people. Now the world's troubles are the unevenness of the corvee. There are people who don't know how to work in the fields, and there are people who are not exempt from the work if the land is rough. I have a plan for this..."
But when Zhang Yue introduced the exemption laws one by one, it turned out that everything was in line with Han Jiang's wishes.
Han Jiang laughed and said: "The Number One Scholar really has something inside him. I am so talented that I can't think of a way to do it, but I heard you say it in one word."
"Knowing it but not being able to change it is really empty talk. I know that those who can know and change it can be called ministers and can save it."
These words spoke too highly of himself, and Zhang Yue couldn't take it anymore.
