Prime Minister

Chapter 932

Chapter 932

After some discussion, the imperial court gave ten official quotas to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor.However, these ten places include both salary officers and errands.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do. In the past, the internal ministers supervised the military equipment, so that the inside and the outside became commonplace. Before that, there was a matter of rewarding a good bow for a useless bow. Please let it go."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, the officials looked at Wang Anshi.

Zhang Yue was worried that Wang Anshi would object, Wang Anshi said: "I heard that the ministers in the palace who oversee the military inspectors are all good-looking, so they rushed to come here. The previous case of the military inspector Wei Duan was left alone."

At the beginning, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing investigated Wei Duanzhi's case of scrapping hundreds of thousands of bows for no reason, but the officials ordered them not to continue investigating.

In the end, Wei Duanzhi and several craftsmen were only lightly punished.

There were indeed many problems with the Inner Eunuch and the Military Weapons Supervision, and the officials immediately agreed to Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue to reduce the number of inspections the Inner Supervisor went to the Military Weapons Supervision. Obviously, the officials knew who was behind the scenes, but they refused to deal with it.

Zhang Yue's interruption caused the officials behind to stay for a while longer.

Now after Zhang Yue's work, the eunuch came to urge lunch.

However, the officials disagreed with the suggestion of the servants to let the officials outside the corridor go back first, and instead let several officials enter the palace to perform their duties, and they must finish their official duties.

Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue stayed in the hall.

The officials returned to the palace for lunch after listening to the performance of several officials.

One of the officials who played for the first time was very moved by the diligence of the officials. What he played was naturally not as important as the important military affairs played by Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue.

However, the officials inquired very carefully, and did not ignore the matter because it was small, and made an imperial approval face to face.

But those who are familiar with the officialdom know that this is the official practice.

With such a conscientious official family, how dare the officials below not try their best.

After retreating outside the hall, Wang Anshi still went ahead alone, while Zhang Yue was a few steps behind.

Seeing Wang Anshi suddenly stop at this time, Zhang Yue subconsciously slowed down, and then returned to normal and walked to Wang Anshi's side.

Wang Anshi put his hands behind his back and said, "Is it difficult for Du Zhi to return to the court this time?"

Zhang Yue said: "The official is just telling the truth."

Seeing Zhang Yue, Wang Anshi refused to admit it and said: "Shen Cunzhong repeatedly said that he is not usable, yet you use him to criticize..."

Zhang Yue did not directly refute, but said: "Your Majesty said before that although Shen Kuo is not a good scholar, he is also talented enough to be praised."

Wang Anshi said: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being. You said earlier that it is inconvenient to provide porridge for disaster relief, and that you should recruit hungry people for profit. I quite agree with this case. You also agree with the law of silting the fields. On these two matters The imperial court can plan well."

It seems that the officials mentioned my words in front of Wang Anshi.

Zhang Yue said: "Nowadays there is a shortage of money in the world, one is the lack of money, and the other is that the rich people do not come out."

"In the past, if the imperial court could distribute wealth to the poor, the poor would also enjoy themselves."

Wang Anshi said: "Shen Cunzhong's 'many build princes but few forces' is your idea, can you explain it to me carefully?"

Zhang Yue said: "Prime Minister, let me try to make an analogy. For example, the imperial court used [-] guan to make military weapons. In the past, the internal supervisors had to distribute [-] guan, officials divided [-] guan, and craftsmen only had [-] guan. It's about the materials."

"As for whether all [-] guan can be used on craftsmen and materials, it can only be said that such an ideal system only exists in ideals."

"And excluding the internal prison, if we can divide [-] guan for officials and [-] guan for craftsmen, it would be very difficult to achieve even [-] guan in terms of materials."

Wang Anshi said nothing and listened to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue continued: "In the past, the emperor used eunuchs and civil officials to supervise each other when building weapons, but there were only so many resources. If we reduce the link of power participation, let those who actually do things share more, improve the efficiency of craftsmen, and creativity."

"creativity?"

Zhang Yue said: "That is the power of production. For example, if the people have cattle, they can plant twenty acres of land."

Wang Anshi said happily: "I quite approve of this statement of productivity."

Zhang Yue smiled. After Wang Anshi's reunion, he really changed a lot.It seems that Mr. Gong is not as 'obstinate' as before.

Zhang Yuedao: "The most important thing is to build up the princes with less power". Only by building down can the upswing be suppressed. If you win by force, there will be chaos in the seven kingdoms.

"In the Tang Dynasty, Jiedu envoys were powerful, and the later imperial court used Jiedu envoys to control Jiedu envoys, but with little effect. However, in this dynasty, literature is used to control martial arts. Literati are not as good as warriors. This is also the establishment of the lower and the upper."

"Nowadays, the military inspectors, the reason why the officials want the inner ministers to supervise the production is that they can't trust the civil servants who make the weapons, so they build craftsmen, and finally can 'the power is easy to make righteousness, and the country is small, and the evil heart is destroyed'.

Wang Anshi listened very carefully, and didn't say yes or no.

But Zhang Yue felt that Wang Anshi really listened.

"Let me think about this matter carefully. The personal grudge between you and Lu Jifu ends here. You must put national affairs first."

Zhang Yue neither agreed nor opposed, but said: "Zhang does not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons."

Wang Anshi didn't say much and only said one word of kindness.

Zhang Yue guessed that although Wang Anshi hated Lu Huiqing for stabbing him this time, he refused to stop Lu Huiqing immediately.Because Lu Huiqing was Wang Anshi's designated replacement.

Before Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and his master and apprentice, you praised me and I praised you, and Confucius Yan Hui's call was very kind.But how sweet the vows were at the beginning, how ugly it will be when they break up in the future.

Once Lu Huiqing is dismissed by him, the blow to Wang Anshi's prestige will be even greater than that of Zeng Bu.

Zhang Yue expected to go to Wang Anshi, if he gave up Lu Huiqing, there would be a process.Lu Huiqing is not as "honest" as Zeng Bu, and Wang and Lu are too involved, and it will be very ugly if they fall out.

Generally, one must be cautious when dealing with a confidant like Lu Huiqing. Before that, there must be blows, greetings with his subordinates, and even a pretentious discussion. The purpose is to make everyone mentally prepared.

Of course, as far as Zhang Yue is concerned, he is not willing to let Lu Huiqing be dismissed so smoothly.

You want to get out of here now?no way!

After the relationship between Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi improved, the next day he learned the news of Lu Huiqing's resignation.Apparently Lu Huiqing had already learned about Shen Kuo's betrayal of him, so he went out with his resignation.

Lu Huiqing is also a very smart person. Many people can't see the situation clearly and have illusions in their hearts that they will never retreat from power.It was not very decent to go then.

Lu Huiqing said in the resignation that more than ten days ago (the day when Zhang Yue returned to Beijing) he would submit the resignation, but he did not pay attention to the feelings of the monarch and his ministers (in fact, Lu Shengqing and other brothers refused), but now (Shen Kuo, this despicable The shameless villain who was instigated by a certain ruling party actually stabbed me) had to go, so I begged to go out.

Lu Huiqing was also very disappointed when he handed over his resignation.

Shen Kuo betrayed himself, and Zhang Yue returned to court to embarrass himself, he could understand, but Zhang Yue handed over Zhang Zi in front of Wang Anshi, and he didn't speak for himself.

This made Lu Huiqing disappointed.

Lu Huiqing thought to herself, I have worked with you Wang Jiefu for so many years, and I have a lot of reasons for you.

He, Lu Huiqing, was not Zeng Bu. After he was dismissed, he never said anything against Wang Anshi from the beginning to the end.

He, Lu Huiqing, will definitely avenge himself!
