I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 486
No one wants to be the head of the gun, let alone someone like Wang Anshi.

Even if Wang Anshi didn't know that Zhao Xi was using him as a pistol, he still had to take the initiative.

From the tone of the official's conversation with him, he knew that the official did not object to his market transaction law, but cared about the stability of the court and the reaction of the courtiers.

Times have changed, and now, because the imperial court has exempted the workshop city from taxes, the signing of the contract has taken effect, resulting in a financial strain for the imperial court in the next two months.

Even the sticker money for the Chinese New Year is a little less than in previous years.

Wang Anshi felt that this was the best time. When the ministers and workers had not forgotten the complaints about the new year's money, he proposed the law of market exchange, and there will be many followers!

Therefore, Wang Anshi dropped the bomb in the Hall of Qinzheng during the last great court meeting in the fifth year of Zhenghe.

Because of the caisson, the noise from the main hall is really powerful like a bomb!
My old king, are you sincerely not letting everyone have a good year?

Wang Anshi is pure, just as pure as Sima Guang, but the direction of their purity is different.

Sima Guang is pure because of the retro, and believes that it is wrong to deviate from the ancient precepts and ancestral system, and officials and ministers should learn from the ancients.Although it is not enough to allow the officials to rule over it, in general, we don't want the officials to toss, let alone the ministers and workers.

In Sima Guang's view, state affairs should be rested and recuperated.

Whether the officials solve the redundant soldiers or innovate industries to improve the financial situation of the court, this is all a moment of limelight.To govern a country, one still has to rely on the kingly way, rely on recuperation, support the people, and consolidate the foundation of the subjects...that is, virtue and integrity.

Therefore, he can't see innovation, can't see change, and any change that occurs, he thinks it is a deviation from the holy rule, and will be refuted.

But the official has been on the throne for five years, training the new army, seeking Dali, promoting young crops, suppressing clan relatives, and now building the palace... everything is tossing.In Sima Guang's view, everything is just chasing after the end.

He could also see that the current His Majesty is a tossing temper.

There was Wang Jiefu's echo in the Political Affairs Hall, and he was powerless to stop it, so he simply asked the officials to resign several times because he wanted to keep out of sight and out of mind.

And Wang Anshi purely wanted to help the king to revive the Song Dynasty.

After many years of transferring to the local government and the imperial court, he has seen too many shortcomings of the imperial court, and has a targeted solution... That is to scrape the bone to cure the poison.

In Wang Anshi's view, the imperial court has reached the point where it has to deal with ruthless governance, and there is still no time to delay.

In all aspects of military, government, and finance, changes are needed, or major changes, or even overthrow and start over.If the imperial court is not willing to overthrow it, it is bound to be overthrown by another force.

Therefore, it is his Wang Anshi's expectation to stand in the court to make great efforts to govern.

What he really lacks is to get along with the princes of the court, or to say that he doesn't have a deep understanding of the shamelessness of the courtiers, and he doesn't know enough.

The country did not suppress business, which also led to the monopoly of the country's goods transactions by big merchants, resulting in merchants exploiting the people, and even affecting the national economy and the people's livelihood.

The market exchange law is imperative.Of course, he, Wang Anshi, is not an idiot, and he also knows how to choose the right time, such as now, at the grand court meeting at the end of the year...

The fact that the imperial court was short-lived, the fact that the New Year’s subsidies were reduced, and the construction of the Qinzheng Palace in the early stage caused the courtiers, the Zhengshitang, and the officials to be dirty, which provided him with an excellent opportunity to propose the Market Change Law.

It's not that Wang Anshi didn't think that he could settle this matter with the officials in private. It's impossible. Wang Anshi knew it was impossible since the launch of the Green Crop Law.

It is contradictory for officials to want to reform and to stabilize the court at the same time.

In Wang Anshi's view, the official family is still the Zhao family, and they can't get rid of their indecisive temperament.

Forget it, since the officials can't make up their minds, they'll take the matter away.

Zhao Xi was really helpless.

Let's not talk about whether the market exchange method is suitable or not. The timing is really not good at this time.

It has been half a year since Wang Anshi proposed the Market Change Law. Zhao Xi has been busy in the past six months, and he is also making arrangements for the Market Change Law.

Zhao Xi really hates quarrels, this is not the normal state of being in power.

The reason why the Qinzheng Palace was built was to find a living for the victims on the surface. What Zhao Xi really wanted to do was to fix the building model for court meetings, court meetings, and assembly meetings, and then let courtiers take their seats according to their numbers, forming a three-level decision-making system.

For example, the Chaohui, due to the large number of participants, is not suitable for discussing politics in court. Therefore, the role of the Chaohui is to promulgate government orders and be executed by ministers and workers.

Even if the ministers and workers have objections, they can only adopt the method of playing up to avoid quarrels at the court meeting.

As for the court meeting, in Zhao Xi's vision, three or 50 people were selected from each party to form the decision-making layer of the court, including the big officials of the court, six ministries and nine ministers, the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, and the military.

This is the real deliberative body, and it is also where the policies and decrees of the state are formed.

This place can be debated, but once a resolution is formed, everyone must implement it.

As for the meeting, in Zhao Xi's vision, it is the cabinet, that is, the real leadership of the entire country.

This is the level at which various innovations are proposed, various policies are proposed, and they are submitted to the DPRK for discussion.

In Zhao Xi's vision, the courtiers who entered the assembly level are collectively called the cabinet, and they are all prime ministers.He borrowed from the cabinet system of the later Ming Dynasty, and even more from the system of the era in which he lived.

The second layer of the imperial court, he designated it as the imperial court, and all personnel are in power.This is almost a copy of the system of later generations.

As for the third floor... Well, it's still Chaohui.

This is the institutional layout.Zhao Xi made additional preparations for the Market Change Law.

The core of Wang Anshi's Yifa is a bit like the country's advancement and the people's retreat, or letting the court dominate the transaction of goods.

In today's parlance, it is called competing for profit with the people, and in later generations, it is called intervening in market behavior.

As for macro-control, Zhao Xi is of course aware that it is necessary.But it's not like Wang Anshi's Shi Yifa did, let court officials directly replace Yahang and big merchants.

This is a big proposition of pricing power, regulatory responsibility and market behavior. It is absolutely impossible to let officials who should be managers directly disrupt the market like Wang Anshi's Yifa.

The reason why Zhao Xi built the palace and let the workshop city introduce many new things during the construction of the Palace of Qinzheng was because he wanted to promote government-run industries.

The core purpose is not to divide the cake, but to make the cake.This will reduce the resistance of the beneficiary class.

This involves approval power, pricing power, macro-control, court intervention, government-run industries, separation of management and management, and many other aspects.

The original intention of Zhao Xi to build the palace and dig a hole full of court officials and workers was to make the court workers realize the importance of approval power.

Based on the fact that he and Gongfangcheng built palaces without the consent of the Zhengshitang, the imperial court was guided to formulate an approval system, thereby changing the status quo of monopoly and price manipulation mentioned in Wang Anshi Yifa.

Zhao Xi's plan is to start with the layout of the Palace of Qinzheng, first adjust the deliberation mode of the country, and then under the right conditions, Wang Anshi will propose the law of market change.

Then, in response to the background reasons proposed by the Market Change Law, the imperial court issued relevant macro-control laws and regulations.

Finally, government-run industries will be launched to solve the financial situation of the imperial court and alleviate the status quo of redundant officials in the country.

As a result, all his plans were completely messed up by Wang Anshi's cold hammer.
