Chapter 847 Pang Xianggong's face hurts

Collecting coal mines and iron ore and setting up steel plants is also accompanied by tax reform. In theory, these two things are offensive. It is best to do them separately, and things will be smooth if they are slow.

But the problem is that without changing the tax system, without tax mediation, capital cannot be guided into the heavy industry. Moreover, Wang Ning'an knew too well how powerful an enterprise with tens of thousands of workers would be once heavy industry develops.

I have not determined the tax system in advance, I am really afraid that I will not be able to push it up then.

There is no way, no matter how much resistance there is, just rush to rush!

Wang Ning'an really admires Wang Anshi. His status and strength are countless times better than Wang Anshi, but he also feels that there are many obstacles and it is very difficult for him to promote reform. It is really unimaginable how much pressure the aggressor should have endured!

Wang Ning'an shook his head and wanted to rest, but suddenly Chen Shunzhi rushed over. He is now the chief clerk of the royal palace. In other words, he is the retainer and counselor of Wang Ning'an, the most confidant. He has a bad face. No need to ask, something must have happened.

"Prince, it's still from Yanzhou!"

Wang Ning'an snorted, "Is it still the Kong family? They have to fight against me after eating Xiongxin and leopard courage!"

Chen Shunzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Just just now, our people have heard news that the officers and the servants of the Kong family have had a conflict. The specific reason is still unclear, but at least dozens of people died!"

Wang Ning'an exclaimed, "So many?"

"Well, it's only a lot. It's said that many servants in the Kong family died. Now the Kong family is making trouble. Some people want to go to the capital to file a lawsuit and ask the saint to give an explanation!"

Wang Ning'an's face turned dark in an instant.

He also thought about how to deal with the Kong family. To be honest, it was really troublesome.

After all, Yan Shenggong was born by Zhao Zhenfeng, and Uncle Zhao's body was not cold, so it was not nice to say that it was against the Kong family. Moreover, although the old school had collapsed, most scholars even regarded themselves as disciples of Confucius and Mencius. If the Kong family touched the Kong family, they would slap scholars all over the world. It was difficult to attack this slap!

"Old Chen, please analyze it for me. Can the Kong family bribe the situation and bribe it?"

Chen Shunzhi pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Prince, the Kong family dares to be fearless, there must be someone behind the back. After all, what you do is too hated! If you bow to the Kong family, the people behind you will see through your hands and feet and will never take the prince seriously again. Therefore, for the sake of reform and overall situation, the prince must never compromise. At least he will win a complete victory!"

Wang Ning'an thought for a moment and sighed: "I can't retreat, and there must be someone who forces the Kong family to not let them retreat. It seems that the winner must be decided!"

"I believe that the prince will definitely win!"

Wang Ning'an did not deny that it was true that he was sure to kill the Kong family, but how to deal with this saint's family was really troublesome...

Something happened in Yanzhou. Wang Ning'an knew it quickly, but others were not slow either!

Han Jiang visited Pang Ji's mansion overnight.

"Senior, a murder case has occurred over there!" Han Jiang tried hard to suppress the joy in her heart, but when the words came to her mouth, she still revealed her mood.

He immediately explained: "It's not a gloating to be young, but Wang Ning'an wants to collect land in the mining area, increase corporate taxes, and include all textile factories, wineries, and sugar cottages... His appetite is too big, and he doesn't give the people a way to survive. If he squeezes it so hard, something will definitely happen!"

Pang Ji shook his head and saw that Zhao Shu was listening very seriously, so he went further.

"Your Majesty, Confucius is a teacher of all ages and a sage. His master's studies can correct people's hearts, understand morality, lead people to goodness, educate the world, and achieve success in the country. All emperors of all dynasties respect Confucius and benefit their descendants. As for the former emperor, respecting Confucius' descendants as Yan Shenggong, it can be said that he is a wise and wise act, and he matches the heavens and is deeply loved by the people."

Pang Ji said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that even if the people of the Kong family have a little mistake, they should not pursue it too much."

Zhao Shu had nodded frequently before, but when he heard it, he immediately said: "Gong-Duke Pang, shouldn't he be investigated if he obstructs the great affairs of the court?"

Pang Ji took a breath and his face became even more miserable.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the officials of the court are extremely corrupt and have always been like this, exploiting and making clever names to plunder the people's wealth and wealth. Even if the court's original intention is to be for the people's good, the corrupt officials below will do whatever they want, which will damage the wisdom of the saints and the prestige of the court. It is precisely because of this that the old ministers dare to suggest that the court not care too much."

Having said that, how could Zhao Shu not understand what Pang Ji meant?

He smiled faintly, "Old husband, have you heard something? Do you want to oppose the expropriation of mines?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has indeed heard that after receiving the order from the Political Affairs Hall, Zhang Heng, the governor of Yanzhou, was unscrupulous and sent out all the troops to force the land. Not only the mining area, but also the surrounding farmlands were difficult to escape. He levyed heavily and did not know the constraints, which aroused the anger of the people. The indignant people and the officials clashed with each other, and there were many casualties and injuries." Pang Ji became even more sad and angry when he said this.

"Your Majesty, just imagine that Qufu, Yanzhou, is the hometown of Master. Such a foolish and cruel official who offended Confucius would only make the four barbarians laugh at him, saying that the Song Dynasty was disrespectful to sages and was no different from the barbarians... The old minister begged Your Majesty to immediately dismiss Zhang Heng's official position and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice for conviction!"

After hearing this, Zhao Shu thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Grandpa Pang, Zhang Heng is also a disciple of the King of Xiliang, and he is my senior brother!"

Old Pangji's face changed and he immediately said: "Destroying relatives for justice can just show Your Majesty's desire to respect sages!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Pang, are you talking about conviction and killing your relatives for justice? Could it be that the conflict between the two sides is really Zhang Heng's fault?"

Pang Ji's heart moved slightly, it was hard for the little emperor to fool!

"I heard from Your Majesty. The old minister thinks that no matter who is right or wrong, as an official in the hometown of saints, he will be ashamed of the sages and will have no face to gain a foothold in the Shilin. He should know what to advance and retreat and calm the storm as soon as possible!"

Zhao Shu disagreed, and he smiled, "Gong Gong Pang, as the saying goes, a slap can't be slapped. If such a big case is not carefully investigated, I am afraid there will be no explanation! I have a memorial just sent by Zhang Heng. He said that it was a evil slave of the Kong family who deliberately attacked the court servants and killed many people!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Heng is a ruling statement. The old minister believes in the character of the Kong family. I beg Your Majesty not to believe Zhang Heng's one-sided statement!"

"Hahaha, of course I won't believe Zhang Heng's words, but I have a report here." Zhao Shu said and sent it to Pang Ji.

"This is sent by Mr. Anshi, he will never lie!"
