Chapter 813: Small Cases, Big Thinking

It’s not that Zhao Shu didn’t want to see his mother. Although Zhao Zhen intended to depose the queen and clear the obstacles for him, his biological mother, after more than ten years of care, is not ordinary!

Even the most crazy person cannot give up easily.

Zhao Shu wanted to go over and take a look, but Zhao Zhen was indeed sick and was seriously ill!

Not long ago, Zhao Zhen was determined to depose the queen and almost took action. It was not easy for him to make this decision. Later, because of a bunch of impeachment memorials, the rhythm was disrupted, and Zhao Zhen became ill again, so he delayed it.

But in recent days, especially Zhou Feng’s case has been thrown out.

Even if Zhao Zhen wanted to calm down, he couldn't calm down. The country was still from his Zhao family. Zhao Zhen still wanted to be the saint of the ages, and he couldn't ignore many things.

The Zhou Feng case was carefully selected by Er Cheng, and the method used to make a fuss is naturally not that simple. Things that seem simple on the surface often have huge mystery behind it.

Zhao Zhenyu had been in a very fast 42 years and had seen everything clearly, but he could see clearly. He might not have the ability to solve problems. In a hurry, Zhao Zhen's dragon body became worse and worse.

Finally, while I was a little more awake, the emperor called the prince in front of me.

"Son of the Emperor, do you understand what they are fighting for?"

Zhao Shu lowered his head, his face a little bad, "Father, while saying that he would preside over the meritorious soldiers, he said that he should appease the honest and practical officials. The son-in-law was also helpless. Zhou Feng was not a bad person, but Lu Yan was not a corrupt official! But he just found such a big case! The son-in-law just felt it was difficult to deal with it! No matter how he dealt with it, it would make some people feel cold."

Zhao Zhen shook his head repeatedly, "Your son, you are wrong. At this time, do you still regard this matter as a simple case?"

Zhao Shu was shocked, "Please give me advice!"

"Oh, this is the place where you need money!" Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but cough. Zhao Shu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for his father, but found that Zhao Zhen had blood in his phlegm. Zhao Shu quickly turned his head and wiped his tears. This was the way the dragon body was, and he still worried about his father. It was really damn!

...

Imperial Street, Prime Minister’s Mansion, Wang Family, Study Room!

"Dad, this time it is clear that someone is using the case to make trouble. What is the great miserable year not long ago? Plum Blossoms said that the impeachment of the queen and the Zhou Feng case today are clearly trying to take advantage of the transition from the old to disrupt the court, intending to oppose the reform. The point of the spearhead is that besides the King of Xiliang, there is also a father!" Wang Yun said loudly while wearing a fox fur coat.

Wang Anshi sat in the main seat, with a gloomy face and his eyebrows twisted into lumps. Looking closely, Wang Anshi was more than ten years older than before, and his hair on his temples turned gray.

Reforms have made people feel hard. Over the years, Wang Anshi has been working hard to become an old man from a middle-aged handsome guy! As Wang Anshi's number one fan, Wang Rong felt very distressed. The more he felt sorry for his father, the more he hated those who were provoking trouble.

On the other hand, Wang Anguo, who was standing aside, whispered: "Nephew, since this matter has been targeted by the reformists and King Xiliang, why hasn't the King Xiliang taken action so far? It's not the King Xiliang's style."

Wang Yun took a breath and said hatefully: "As the prince's master, Wang Ning'an is unwilling to stand up at this time and wants to protect himself! If he doesn't take action, we will take action! Just a few miscellaneous fish want to disrupt the overall situation, it's really a dream!"

Wang Anguo immediately asked, "Nephew, who are you going to catch?"

"Whoever can be caught is caught, whoever can dance happily. Start from the Censorate. By the way, there are all the nonsense and inflated newspapers, so let's see what else they can do!"

"Shut up!"

Wang Anshi, who was silent, suddenly broke out!

He slapped the table hard and said sternly: "When something happens, don't always think about conspiracy and tricks, don't think that everyone is going to harm you! Look at yourself first and reflect on yourself! If we can stand up and have no problems, we will not be afraid of attacks from others. On the contrary... even if we have the protection of gods, we will collapse!"

Wang Rong was a little dissatisfied when he was yelled by his father.

"Dad, what's wrong with us? In recent years of reform, the imperial court's treasury has been abundant, the troops are strong, the troops are strong, the territory is expanded, the celebration of the longevity ceremony, and the four barbarians are welcomed. With this achievement, they can compete with the strong Han and the prosperous Tang dynasties. What else do you need?"

Wang Anshi was even more angry. He slapped the table, "The strong Han and the prosperous Tang dynasty were all prosperous and declined. Now we are most taboo now to be full of compassion! You must know that if the water is full, it will overflow. You must see your own faults!"

My father mentioned reflection more than once, and Wang Rong calmed down, "Dad, is it because we are really in the wrong?"

Wang Anshi didn't say anything, but Wang Anguo took the words over.

"Nephew, I have traveled to many places over the years and have seen a lot with my own eyes. In addition, I have kept the budget of the court in my mind every year. Let's put it this way... the situation is not optimistic."

Wang Rong shook his head repeatedly, "Uncle, can you say that the reform failed?"

"No, the achievements of the reform are there, but the problems have also arisen." Wang Anguo pondered: "The root of this case of Lu Yan is the exhaustion of local finances, and there are many prefectures and counties similar to Liang County. According to my observation, there are at least one hundred!"

"What?"

Wang Rong was so scared that he widened his eyes, "Uncle, aren't you telling a joke?"

"This is a conservative estimate. In fact, around every big city, there is a circle of county towns with economic decline and poor people's livelihood. Like Lu Yan, who finds ways to build workshops and increase finances, are still considered good officials. Many officials will only oppress the people, increase taxes, impose heavy taxes, and impose heavy taxes, and cause heavy taxes, and cause deaths. People are really powerful in throwing this case. I'm so embarrassed. I'm so kind, why do so many officials protect Lu Yan? If Lu Yan can't survive, more than 90% of the local officials in the Song Dynasty should be beheaded! Some people should destroy the nine clans! Many of these people are reform leaders!"

...

When encountering a disease, the doctors need to consult. Gongli and Wang Anshi are reflecting, and Wang Ning'an is no exception. He sees it more deeply.

Every big city is like a reservoir. The bigger the city, the more prosperous the city, the stronger the attraction.

What has flowed into the city?

Labor is also the most essential labor; secondly, it is food, vegetables, various daily necessities, including coal, wood, etc.; thirdly, money, yes, life in the city is convenient and comfortable. It turns out that many gentry and landlords who live and work in the countryside also go to the city to buy houses. Except for collecting rent, they go home to check it out, and most of the time, they live in the city.

Many people even sent their children to schools in the city, and they also invested in some shops to eat rent. The rewards were much richer than land rent, and they were completely unhappy.

Labor, resources, and wealth are all flowing to the city, can we say more?

Wang Ning'an had previously analyzed to Zhao Zhen that he believed that with the influx of gold, there would be a serious crisis in the Song Dynasty... His analysis at that time was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire problem.

Take this case for example. This is the case in Liang County. Because it is not far from Xijing, a large amount of labor is outflowing, tax revenue plummeted, and land tax also declined.

The original countryside was a super steady state structure. If there was anything, family patriarchal law could solve it. Of course, many people criticized patriarchal law and believed it was unreasonable, but it did reduce the expenses of the court.

The problem now is to remove the young and strong labor force. It is like a house. Without a pillar, can something happen? Without a bunch of young and middle-aged people with passionate blood and justice, no one is willing to uphold justice. Can local crimes not increase?

There are more and more chaos, so naturally, local governments are required to do more, but their budget is not enough, which means that they want the horse to run away without giving it to the horse!

Ask yourself, can something happen?

After so many years, Wang Ning'an has been a great enemy for a long time. No matter what kind of opponent he is, he can handle it calmly.

If the other party really wants to rely on conspiracies to seize the imperial power and position, he just needs to take ruthless measures and there is nothing to be polite.

In fact, it’s not just him, Zhao Zhen can also do it.

The old emperor had long been determined to clear obstacles for his son.

But the question is why they can't do it, because this matter is not a conspiracy at all!

Some people are adding fuel to the fire and taking advantage of troubled waters. This is what everyone knows... But the essence of the problem lies in the consequences of reform.

It cannot be said that the reform is not good, nor can it be said that the reform is unsuccessful. However, no matter how good the medicine is, it will have side effects. It is the medicine that has three parts poisonous, and that's the truth!

You recommend the Qingmiao Law, the Fangtian Equal Tax Law, the currency reform, lower interest rates, and encourage industry and commerce... This arrangement has brought about urban prosperity, national prosperity and strength, and congratulations to all nations! But at the same time, it has also brought about personnel flow, local embarrassment, financial resources, and various chaos.

This time it was Zhou Feng's case, what about the next time? Could it be someone's rebellion? Wars are everywhere?

Don’t worry about lack of weight but worry about inequality!

The powerful local forces and ambitious people didn’t want to make any noise?

Wang Ning'an couldn't help but think of many things. Japan is a model of honest unity, right? But during the reform and reform, many chaos emerged, and even civil wars were directly caused. Not to mention the polar bear, the tsar was killed, and other countries also had various chaos, which was far from being as simple and so light as the historical books that whitewashed the peace in later generations!

Do you want to cover up the cruel facts by saying the inevitable sacrifice brought by reform?

Don’t forget, those are living lives!

Wang Ning'an was slow to move, not because he was brainless or mentally retarded, but because this time, his enemies were invisible and intangible.

In Wang Ning'an's view, those who work hard and keep influencing public opinion are just a group of clowns who can be crushed with one hand!

Not to mention him, even his subordinates can easily solve the problem.

The trouble is that when it has reached this point, the Song Dynasty is in a dangerous period of phoenix nirvana. What should we do? This is the key!

"Prince, someone has come from the prince's side. Please come to the palace for a lecture." The housekeeper whispered.
