Prime Minister

Chapter 583 Ten-day deadline
Hearing what Zhang Yue said, Wang Anshi looked much better.

Zhang Yue has now figured out Lao Wang's temper, that is, don't fight him hard, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.

Tang Jie, Lu Hui and others can be regarded as a lesson from the past!

Wang Anshi's temper is such that it harms others and does not benefit oneself. You can't reach a certain level of compromise with him by coercing and threatening with various means.

Wang Anshi said: "My servant still has some skills, so you can make a long story short."

Zhang Yuedao: "The first is the lack of funds. Since the Qingli New Deal, Taixue has two incomes. One is the school money, which comes from the national treasury and is allocated on a regular basis every year. The other is the year-old money for the establishment of the Qingli school. After that, it will be allocated from the internal treasury. It is said to be an annual gift, but it is not given every year, sometimes more is given, and sometimes less is given.”

"After ascending the throne, the staff has been increased twice. Today, there are nearly 2000 Tai students. According to the monthly expenditure of each Tai student at [-] Wen, the cost of meals alone will cost [-] Guan a month. Today, the number of Tai students The money given is not enough to last for a month.”

Wang Anshi said: "The old man is already planning to go to the government. From next year, the scholarship money will be increased by [-] guan every year, and the year-old gift money will be given once a year. Don't worry about waiting."

Zhang Yue was taken aback, where did you get so much money?

Zhang Yue almost winked and asked, "Why next year?"

But Wang Anshi wouldn't tell himself, so he simply didn't make fun of it.Zhang Yue suddenly understood, that's right, you, Wang Anshi, only started to make money this year, and now the court really doesn't have a dime in its books.

Zhang Yue said: "Then what Mr. Xiang means is that the far water cannot solve the near fire."

It's like if you haven't eaten for three days and you're starving to death, it doesn't matter if someone tells you that next year's food will keep you full.

Zhang Yue sneered twice in his heart, according to Wang Anshi's words, he was played to death by him.

Jiefu, Jiefu, you are too irresponsible.

Wang Anshi said: "The Guozijian still has some edicts, classics and righteousness, and there are thousands of coins in the prison, which can be used for the time being."

The imperial edict is an edict issued by the emperor, but it is different from the Song Dynasty's Tong Xingli Law. Although it also has legal effects, it is promulgated by the emperor immediately, and it is likely that most people do not know it for a while.

The imperial court asked Guozijian to compile the scattered edicts issued every year, and then copied them to various yamen to earn some small money. However, after Zhenzong, the imperial court set up an edict compilation office, and the income of Guozijian has shrunk a lot.

Jingyi, as far as teaching materials are concerned, the school can't avoid making some money from the students, but how much can it have?
And what is the supervisor?
Many of the Guangwenguan students who take the Guozijian exam every year do not pass the exam, so what should we do?

If the family is rich, they can use the money to sponsor the Guozijian, and then get a place as a Tai student.However, I didn't dare to do this explicitly, and the censor admonisher has always had opinions on this.

All three earn very little.

Zhang Yue said: "These are not enough to serve as the current supervisor. The imperial court has no money now, so the lower officials already have a way to manage money. Please learn from me."

After Wang Anshi's advocacy, financial management is already a big basket, and everything can be put into it.

Wang Anshi had a look of surprise on his black face, as if to say, you can't even manage money?
Zhang Yuedao: "This is what I think. All the states and counties in the world set up houses and villages for schools. During the Kangding period, His Majesty, at the request of the prisoner Ye Qingchen, bestowed Fifty Fields as a school. In the fifth year of Qingli, And give Yuqing Palace 22 to be used as a school field."

"In addition, there are Shangqing palace gardens and mansions. But after the failure of the Qingli New Deal, the imperial court took back most of these school fields and mansions. The next official asked Xianggong to return them all to Taixue."

Wang Anshi thought to himself, this is also called financial management.

Zhang Yue said: "I plan to pay out all the school fields and mansion shops that have been taken back, and raise a sum of money so that the Imperial College can also print books as a business!"

"Printing books?"

Wang Anshi looked carefully at Zhang Yue when he heard the words, and thought a little bit after listening to Zhang Yue's talk about the regulations.Wang Anshi didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed, but he asked Zhang Yue, "How is the reformation of the scriptures and prose done?"

Zhang Yuedao: "I am going to report to my lord, but there are many voices of opposition. Most of them are saying that Tai students have been studying poetry and Fu for a long time, how can they make them understand the scriptures..."

When Zhang Yue said this, he took a look at Wang Anshi's face, and then changed the subject: "...But the officials thought that when the former king set up the Taixue, he only talked about Confucianism. Back to the way of the former king."

Wang Anshi did not violate his intentions at all, he looked much better after hearing what Zhang Yue said, and was about to speak, when the servant Li Shunju arrived and said, "Mr. Wang, the officials have summoned you."

Wang Anshi agreed, took a step forward, turned around and said to Zhang Yue: "The current plan is to get rid of the antithesis of sickness and sound, so that scholars can concentrate on classics. Within ten days, you will correct it in Taixue. It is a matter for students to learn scriptures and righteousness."

After speaking, Wang Anshi followed Li Shunju and left.

Li Shunju nodded to Zhang Yue with a smile, then followed Wang Anshi step by step and said, "Lu Hui has made up his mind to ask for his resignation, and the officials have decided to dismiss him from the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, so they have discussed with the Prime Minister about his replacement."

After Li Shunju finished speaking, he looked carefully at Wang Anshi's expression, Wang Anshi thought for a while and said, "Uncle Hui (written by Lu Gong) can replace him!"

Li Shunju's face was full of surprise, Wang Anshi's focus on his words was not at all about the dismissal of his political opponent Lu Heo, but he was really thinking about who could replace Lu Heo as the imperial censor.

Wang Anshi's thoughts are really unpredictable.

Zhang Yue returned home from the palace, thinking that Wang Anshi was pushing him too hard, and within ten days he had to complete the reformation of the imperial student's poems and prose.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue knocked on the wall of the car and asked, "What happened to the person who stopped the car a few days ago?"

Tang Jiudao: "I've checked them all, and they are all students of the imperial court, and two of them are the lords of Su Zhigao's family."

"Oh?"

Su Zhigao is Su Song, and now Ren Zhigao, the other party has a very good friendship with Su Shi, and the two sides even connected with each other.

Zhang Yue said to Tang Jiu: "Don't rush back to the mansion, go to Su Zhigao's mansion first."

When he arrived at Su Song's mansion, Zhang Yue met Su Song.

Su Song is also very strange, he does not have a deep relationship with Zhang Yue on weekdays, why did the other party come to visit?
Su Song thought about it, Zhang Yue is now in charge of the Gou Guozijian, his son Su Jia, and nephew Su Yu are both studying in the Guozijian, has the other party committed something?
Su Song immediately ordered someone to go to the Imperial College to call back his son and nephew.

Su Song saw Zhang Yue and the two had a conversation, and Zhang Yue asked the other party's opinion on the revision of poetry and Fu.

Su Songdao: "Since Jiayou, it is true that the style of study is not correct. Taixue is based on grotesque slander, and it is supported by wandering and annoying. Its variants and Taixue's academic style are really unpleasant."

"It is even more improper for Taixue to speak directly, not to interpret the scriptures according to the annotations of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but to interpret the scriptures with their own ideas. The court should correct it long ago."

Zhang Yue said: "Thank you Zhigao for your instruction, I also deeply agree with it. Now, Mr. Wang has commissioned me to use the school as a moral act, and then reward talents. Is it feasible?"

Su Song said: "It is feasible. In fact, apart from Zizhan, I heard that many officials support the reform of the Taixue, but they really want to be moral. I am afraid that Duzhi will encounter a lot of resistance in the Taixue."

Zhang Yue said: "I have heard for a long time that patents are better than classics and righteousness. Please help me when the time comes."

Su Song said with a smile: "As long as it can benefit the country, you should do it."

At this time Su Jia and Su Cong both came back, Zhang Yue looked at these two people, it was indeed the person who stopped his car outside that day.

As for Su Jia, Su Yong also looked worried.

Zhang Yue walked up to the two of them and said, "The two gentlemen are also studying in the Imperial College?"

Su Jia and Su Yu looked at each other and nodded.

Zhang Yue said: "That day you stopped my car and talked about revising scriptures and poems. I came here to ask your opinions!"

Su Song was furious when he heard the words: "Okay, how dare you stop the waiting car?"

Zhang Yuewen said: "The two gentlemen also spoke chivalrously and bluntly. I don't mean to blame. Now I just want to ask if this matter is what you two gentlemen mean, or is someone provoking it behind your back?"

After Zhang Yue finished asking this sentence, he observed his words, Su Jia and Su Yan looked at each other, with a slight hesitation.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhang Yue already understood that young people are not good at cheating, and a single expression told him the answer.

Su Song said from the side: "Zhang Daizhi questioned you, and you are still not telling the truth."

Su Jia stepped forward and said, "It's the intention of the two brothers to prepare the report, and there is no instruction from others."

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard the words: "Since the two gentlemen said so, then of course Zhang believed it. I came here to ask this question, and I have no other intentions."

"I also hope that the two gentlemen will study hard in Taixue, and come to Zhang if you need anything in the future."

Su Jia, Su Yun thought that Zhang Yue was going to force him to question him, but seeing that the other party believed him so easily, he immediately had a good impression of Zhang Yue, and at the same time felt a little guilty in his heart.

Su Song said to Zhang Yue suspiciously: "Duzhi, I will ask the truth later."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this."

After talking about Zhang Yue, he said his farewell.Su Song and his son personally sent Zhang Yue out of the mansion.

Su Song suddenly said to Zhang Yue: "Du Zhi, there is one thing I have to say, the imperial students of this dynasty have always been difficult to get along with. The rules of the examination room and the imperial court's selection of scholars have always been from the imperial court. I am afraid that it will be difficult to change suddenly. There are waves."

Zhang Yue said: "Thank you for reminding me."

Farewell to Su Song, Zhang Yue said to Tang Jiu when he got into the carriage: "If someone really incited the Su family brothers behind their backs, go and find out who is instigating trouble in Taixue."

Tang Jiu said yes.

Zhang Yue got into the carriage and thought, Wang Anshi gave himself a ten-day deadline, but some people among the imperial students incited to oppose the court's replacement of poems with scriptures. If it is not resolved within ten days, it may be easy to change.

Su Song just reminded that it makes sense.

Tai students are difficult to deal with. In the second year of Chunhua, Xie Mifa Jie Guozijian Juren, because of making the exam more difficult, he was besieged by Tai students.

When Ouyang Xiu was repairing the Taixue School, many candidates such as Liu Ji failed the exam. As a result, the Taixue students took Ouyang Xiu to and from court every day. When they saw Ouyang Xiu's car driver, they greeted his family.

Even 'sacrifice to Ouyang Xiuwen to vote for his family'.

This time I am in charge of Taixue, and I am also facing such a challenge.
