Prime Minister

Chapter 940

Yuan Jiang made up for political affairs, and the appointment was before Lu Huiqing dismissed the prime minister.This move really disgusted Lu Huiqing, as if driving him away.

After Yuan Jiang made up for the Second Mansion.

The officials called the second government to speak in the hall.

Everyone knows about Yuan Jiang. After the Three Classics and Xinyi were completed, Wang Anshi worshiped Pushe, and Wang Yu worshiped Longtuge Zhishi.Yuan Jiang sent a poem, Chen Qianyu obeyed Tong Huanfu, and after worshiping Jinzhu, there was Duke Lu.

This song is quite flattering.

Therefore, before Lu Huiqing left, Wang Anshi recommended Yuan Jiang to participate in politics.

At this time, Chen Shengzhi and Cai Ting were still complaining of illness, and Wang Anshi had just recovered from his illness. After Yuan Jiang entered the government, he succeeded Wang Anshi, and praised Wang Anshi's administration in front of the officials, even more than that.

Zhang Yue couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Although the New Deal has greatly expanded the fiscal revenue of the imperial court in the past few years, there are still many problems. Now is the time to repair and broaden the power of the people.

For example, the reform can be scored [-] points, but you, Yuan Jiang, boasted without a bottom line, and finally scored [-] points.

Of course, the officials and Wang Anshi must be happy to hear this statement.

Yuan Jiang was appointed today, and Zhang Yue didn't want to be unhappy about it, so he let him continue. Anyway, the officials were very happy to hear it.Reform was the most important thing after he took office. Although he knew that the level was almost [-]%, he was happy when a prime minister said it was [-]%.

As for Wang Anshi, who had just recovered from his illness, sitting on the chair, his face was a little pale, and the deposed Lu Huiqing also consumed a lot of his strength and energy.

So Wang Anshi seemed to have no energy.

I saw Yuan Jiang continued: "Lv Huiqing used to participate in politics for his own use, so he didn't discuss with Wang Anshi. Before Shaanxi was short of food, he decided to collect it with Jiaozi. Wang Anshi said that he should collect it with more salt notes, and issue more Jiaozi. It's a hindrance."

"Lu Huiqing said to him, Jiaozi is the money pair, and the salt money is the salt pair, the two are irrelevant."

"Wang Anshi said, how do you get so many books?"

"Lu Huiqing said to him, as long as the imperial court can do its best to pay Jiaozi, the people will be confident, so they don't need to do it."

"Wang Anshi said, it's finally hindering the salt bills. If there are too few salt bills, the court will have less interest, and if there are too many, it will be used by the prince."

"Lu Huiqing said to him, otherwise, salt has its roots, and the annual increase or decrease should be fixed. Otherwise, once the salt is low, it will harm the salt administration. It is better to make it easy for Jiaozi."

"Anshi said to him, if you have two coins or three coins, and then make Jiaozi, there will be too many disadvantages. It should be changed to salt notes."

Yuan Jiang talked a lot, all of which were to criticize Lu Huiqing and praise Wang Anshi in front of the emperor.

Zhang Yue listened halfway, but saw that the official's face was a little unnatural.Yuan Jiang didn't know that Jiaozi was the money pair, and the salt money was the salt pair, and that the two were irrelevant because Lu Huiqing quoted the officials' words.What's more, he didn't know that the matter of Jiaozi was a tacit understanding between Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing.

In matters of governance, Zhang Yue often felt that sometimes Lu Huiqing was more enlightened than Wang Anshi, and his political views were quite consistent with his own.

For example, the matter of salt banknotes. In another time and space history, after Lu Huiqing left, Wang Anshi issued a large number of salt banknotes. As a result, one year the salt pool was flooded, making it impossible to produce salt. In the end, countless people held salt banknotes but could not redeem them. Salt, it's like crying without tears.

For example, the U.S. dollar used to be on the gold standard, while salt banknotes were similar to the 'salt standard', and Jiaozi was on the 'money standard'.

Since it is a standard currency, the issuance must be restrained, especially for physical objects such as salt that are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Once the credit collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jiaozi is money in the first place, so the floating exchange rate designed by Jiaoyin can be adopted, and the problem of depreciation or appreciation will not be too big.

Wang Anshi couldn't see this, but Lu Huiqing did.

As far as the Xining reform is concerned, Wang Anshi provided theoretical support, but Lu Huiqing was the actual person in charge.Therefore, Lu Huiqing's political level in practice is higher than that of Wang Anshi, let alone Sima Guang and the others. It's a pity that old Lu...is not kind.

Yuan Jiang's support for Wang Anshi and opposition to Lu Huiqing on this point is also the result of political struggle.

The person who loses in the political struggle is completely negated regardless of whether the policies in power are good or bad, and the winning side is fully recognized whether right or wrong.

Wang Anshi did not express his opinion at all about Yuan Jiang's words.

Wu Chong and Wang Gui didn't speak easily, and they were also sitting in chairs today.

Wu Chong was listening all the time, while Wang Gui seemed to be listening very seriously, but he was secretly in a trance.

Zhang Yue got up from his chair at this moment, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, I think that salt money should not be distributed indiscriminately, and this point cannot be ignored just because of people."

Zhang Yue finally stood up and spoke, making the officials nod slightly. He also supported Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing in this matter.But he glanced at Wang Anshi, wondering if your opinion on this matter is the same as before?

Yuan Jiang didn't know what the officials were thinking, but it was the first time he made a statement in front of the officials today, and since Zhang Yue stood up to oppose it, it really didn't give him face.

"Now the Privy Council is not only in charge of military weapons supervision, but also the matter of Qian Yin?" Yuan Jiang blamed Zhang Yue, are you a little too lenient?

Zhang Yue said: "Jiaozi, I discussed with Lu Huiqing a year ago about the matter of salt money. I'm afraid Duke Yuan didn't know about it when he first entered the government."

What Zhang Yue said was that when I worshiped as a Duanming Palace scholar, your official position was not as good as mine, and you are this (compared to little thumb) in terms of seniority.

When Yuan Jiang first entered the Second Mansion, his qualifications were inferior to Zhang Yue's, and he lacked practical experience in government affairs. He had only been in the Third Division for less than a month, but in the end, he caught fire and was dismissed.

Yuan Jiang thought, saying that my qualifications are not as good as yours, when the old man was a Jinshi?Your kid is not born yet.

Yuan Jiang said: "Nowadays, the money shortage in Shaanxi continues to this day. It is because Lu Huiqing refuses to pay more salt and money. The things that are handed over to the son are really no different from a drop in the bucket."

Zhang Yue said: "On the contrary, the money shortage in Shaanxi is not due to the lack of money, but the lack of money in the hands of the people. As long as we can use work in Shaanxi for relief, and at the same time promote water conservancy, the money shortage can be solved."

Yuan Jiang and Zhang Yue insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.

Yuan Jiang asked: "Then how do you solve the money shortage in Shaanxi today?"

Zhang Yue said: "To solve the problem of money shortage, the first thing to do is to distribute money, which is to mint more money. Before that, the imperial court added 200 million guanjiaos to Shaanxi."

"But this won't help!"

"That is, the people have no money, so they can collect grain from the people at a high price or use work for relief. Daxing water conservancy is a good way."

Yuan Jiang said: "This is the opinion of the prime minister."

Zhang Yue said: "Of course there is another way?"

"How?"

Zhang Yue said: "That is the Waste Market Yisi!"

Yuan Jiang said: "Abolishing the Shiyi Division will solve the money shortage?"

"Yes, as the saying goes, those who eat money should not compete with the people for profit, and those who receive the big ones should not take the small ones. The Shiyi Division is an act of competing for profits with the people. As long as it is abolished, the people will have money."

Hearing the words that the country does not compete with the people for profit, Wang Anshi couldn't help but change his face. This is what Sima Guang said, and now he heard Zhang Yue mention it in the court.

Wu Chong in court couldn't help frowning when he heard that, Zhang Yue had conflicts with Wang Anshi in matters of political opinion just after Lu Huiqing resigned, which is really disturbing.

Wang Gui sighed and thought, this has not stopped for a few days, and I am afraid that he will not have a peaceful life again.
