After Zhang Yue exited Yiying Hall, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Zhang Yue turned around and saw that it was Lu Huiqing.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Ji Fu!"
Lu Huiqing also smiled and said: "Do you have time to save it?"
Zhang Yue said: "Of course."
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing walked side by side on the palace road. Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Congratulations to you. This time you put down the chaos in Zhishantang. The officials and Wang Xianggong appreciate it very much. They plan to add you to the official position. This time
That’s when he was promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites.”
Zhang Yue thought to himself that it was too fast for him to be promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Rites in just half a year.
Zhang Yue said in surprise: "I don't know anything about this matter."
Lu Huiqing said in a low voice: "This is Wang Xianggong's recommendation to the officials, and there will be an explicit decree soon."
Zhang Yue then thought about it and said: "The king has clear rewards and punishments. This is the legislation, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Huiqing laughed and patted Zhang Yue's shoulder and said: "No wonder Wang Xianggong once said that Duzhi was a smart man. He really saw through the mystery. However, Wang Xianggong also appreciated Duzhi. You must not do this.
To misunderstand."
Zhang Yue said: "If Jifu has anything to say, you might as well say it clearly."
Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "What do you think of this time when all the regulations are lost?"
This is the third equal loss law in Wang Anshi's new law after the exemption law and the tribute law. It is also the most controversial among the three.
Now the officials asked Xue Xiang Lingjun to lose the Huaishi affairs, and gave him five million guan of hidden money (the emperor's private money) and three million shi as capital, and then bought and sold on Jianghuai Sixth Road. To put it bluntly, if you are cheap, you are expensive.
Easy to reach.
The imperial court had its own logistics company, selling high and buying low.
Zhang Yue said: "The method of equalizing output came from Sishi in Zhou Dynasty and was adopted by Han Dynasty. Today's method of equalizing input is particularly outstanding. It can be said to be an extraordinary strategy created by an extraordinary person. I know that Jifu seems to have played a big role in it."
Bar."
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded. This was indeed his proud work: "Do you mean you agree?"
If we talk about the exemption law and the tribute law, although they are controversial, the support and opposition ratio in the court is 73 to 30, and most people still agree. Then the equal loss law is 40 to 60, yes, the support is 4 to 6.
Zhang Yue knew that Lu Huiqing was sent by Wang Anshi to test his political opinions. Moreover, the other party did not hide it from him.
Lu Huiqing is a villain, but one good thing about a villain is that he remembers kindness and hatred. A gentleman does not care about kindness and hatred so much, which is especially obvious with Su Shi. A gentleman will not go to other places because of interests.
Change his views on people and things, as well as certain ethics and bottom lines.
Therefore, this is the essence of "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain" and "a gentleman can be bullied."
Zhang Yue had promoted Lu Huiqing and let him take up the post of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace.
Now Lu Huiqing almost laid out his cards and said to Zhang Yue, your statement is extremely important for your promotion this time, and I need your statement on Wang Anshi's behalf.
Lu Huiqing is worthy of the support Zhang Yue gave him in the first place.
But Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu is my best friend, so I won't hide anything I have to say. This method is commendable, but it only works for a while, but it will not last long."
This method is Lu Huiqing's proud work. Hearing Zhang Yue's criticism, he couldn't help but blush.
These words are almost the original words of Fan Chunren and Sima Guang, who opposed the equal loss method this time.
Lu Huiqing said: "To save the world, the people who gather together must not be without wealth, and the wealth of the world must not be managed without justice. If the talents of the world are managed with justice, the work and rest of the transfer must not be uneven."
Zhang Yue said: "Ji Fu, I know that this move is for the imperial court to seize the power of collecting and distributing important matters, so as to prevent the wealthy businessman Jia Yin from taking advantage of public or private exigencies. I was deeply touched when I was ordered by the Empress Dowager to stabilize the price of salt in the capital."
"At that time, the salt merchants were arrested and tortured, and the price of salt was ordered not to be higher than a certain amount. In the end, it was not possible. Why? Because the court cannot interfere. The price of something depends on the balance between supply and demand. I bought it.
When there are more people, the price will be higher, and when there are fewer people buying, the price will be lower. This is the truth and cannot be violated."
Lu Huiqing said: "That's why the imperial court set up the method of equalizing losses. The cheap people are expensive, and the people are easy to get. They can not only benefit from it, but also stabilize the price of goods. Why do you kill two birds with one stone?
What about the opposition?"
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, when we propose a new law, we value simplicity, control one thing, and chaos two things. This is a loss of law, justice and benefit, and I agree with it at first sight, but over time there will be more disadvantages."
"You say that the rich is cheap, and the people are easy. Even if you get something, it will be easy. If it is difficult, it will be easy. The government will spend money to compete with the merchants for profits, but the merchants' affairs are tortuous and difficult.
, How can we achieve success without the cooperation of many parties? Therefore, if the government does not monopolize its industry, it cannot obtain its benefits, and if it does not monopolize, its capital will be lost."
"This method of losing everything is to take away the rich and give it to the poor. But from ancient times to the present, we have taken away the rich and left them to the poor. This is also the reason why the ministers in the court objected, but they did not know that the court had to do something about it.
If you seize the rich and give them to the poor, otherwise you will lose the hearts of the people, sooner or later the world will be in chaos, and the national treasury will become increasingly empty. Therefore, if you want to govern the world, you must find the right method."
Lu Huiqing said: "Then I would like to hear your advice!"
Zhang Yue said: "It's very simple: profit should not be sacrificed for righteousness, and righteousness should not be sacrificed for profit. If the court really wants to manage money from it, then it should set up a Municipal Trade Department like Jiao Yinjian."
"There is an exchange office under the Jiaoyin Prison, and there is a Municipal Bureau under the Municipal Trade Department, and they are run by a public-private partnership! Then the imperial court must stay out of the matter."
Lu Huiqing was startled when he heard this, and then said: "What you said makes sense! I forgot to care about the things you mentioned."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Brother Jifu is a noble man who is very busy, but I am just a small skill that is not worth mentioning."
Lu Huiqing said: "Hey, rocks from other mountains can attack jade. This theory is actually much smarter than Fan Chunren and others."
At that time, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Yue said goodbye and met Wang Anshi.
While inside the palace, Wang Anshi and Wang Yu listened to Lu Huiqing's words.
Wang Yu said: "Dad, Zhang Du's move is really superfluous. Whether the reform can succeed or not depends on the choice of people, not on the situation."
"I can see that Zhang Duzhi also agrees with the reform, but he doesn't agree with his father's reform. This person has his own opinions, but he doesn't agree with him."
Lu Huiqing heard Wang Yu's words and didn't say much.
Wang Anshi said: "Thousands of people share the same tea but have different tastes, and thousands of people share the same ideas but different opinions. It is not easy for Zhang Duzhi to do this. Jifu, don't you think so?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Ms. sir, I think this boy is talented."
Wang Anshi said: "It doesn't matter if he disagrees with others. At least he is ten times better than Fan Yaofu. If possible, we can all come together. It would be better to have more people in the court who can make suggestions for new laws."
"Jifu, you can interact with him more, otherwise he will not be used by us in the future. I can wait for him to come back."
September of the second year of Xining.
The imperial court used Xue Xiang to set up the situation in order to lose evenly. This move was opposed by Sima Guang, Fan Chunren, Su Che and other officials.
However, the imperial court promoted him to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Rites of Zhang Yue, but he resigned.
