Chapter 249 Father's Support
Wang Anshi's two sons, the eldest son Wang Yu, Xiao Yuanze; next to the second son Wang, there are no small characters. Although the two sons have the same name and the same date of birth, their personalities are very different, and the relationship between the two people is also very different. The eldest son Yuan Ze has been smart and talented since he was a child. Even the poetry is quite like Wang Anshi's style, and the second son Wang has been around since he was a child. He was stupid and demented. He didn't speak until he was thirteen or fourteen years old. It was true that people said that the noble language was not used on the king's side. The king was amazing and won the appreciation of Emperor Renzong. He rose to the top at a young age and often made extraordinary actions.
Let's take the matter of the Zhu county magistrate looking for someone to serve. Yuan Ze and Wang know that there is a trick in it, but the two people's methods are indeed very different. If Yuan Ze encounters this matter, he must explain the reason why he did not do this job and politely sent Zhu County magistrate away. Yuan Ze has always been a person who doesn't offend me and I won't offend me. If someone offends me, I will hide away; but this matter is encountered by Wang, but it's good for Wang to do things that he doesn't offend him, not to mention that others have offended him,
As soon as he heard that Wang took over the servant, Yuan Ze's eyes stared at the boss. What's wrong with brother? Is it a warning to see Chen's situation on the street? Others are afraid of things that can't be avoided, but Wang's side plunges head in. He said to Wang side with a little angrily, "You promised is a pleasure. You will go tomorrow. County government, it's too late to go back on your word.
Wang turned his head sideways and looked at Yuan Ze, who was standing beside his father with a smile: "Why do you regret it? This job is very good. We all know that the restaurant has been avoiding taxes with the support of the county magistrate. This must have given a lot of benefits to the county magistrate. There are two questions here. First, whether the county has paid so many taxes. Why is there so much space? The second is how much benefit the county magistrate has received. Yesterday, it was outside Chen, and today is me. Tomorrow, I don't know who this errand will be assigned to. I just take this opportunity to teach them a lesson, so as not to always let honest people suffer losses.
Yuan Ze shook his head helplessly. No one could stop what his brother wanted to do: "You always have a lot of truths. I won't argue with you. Anyway, it's only one day. If you can't think of a good way before you go to the county government tomorrow, I don't have time to accompany you on the street to collect taxes from door to door." After saying that, he took a look at his father beside him,
Wang Anshi listened to the conversation between the two children and looked at the two young men in their early twenties in front of him. Although he saw that the two people had different opinions, his words all revealed Yuan Ze's concern for Wang. The relationship between the two of them is so good that no matter who can develop, the other one will definitely become a good assistant, and The two brothers, Wang's wit and decisiveness seemed to be better than Yuan Ze's, and the child was quite righteous. Seeing Wang's actions, he couldn't help but evoke some past events of Wang Anshi: Wang Anshi's father, Wang Yi, refused to urge the poor to pay taxes during his tenure, and exposed his immediate boss's collusion with the local rich family. As a result, he was squeezed out by these guys and transferred to another place, but Wang Yi still insisted on doing so every time he went. Wang Anshi followed Wang Yi when he was a child. These things touched Wang Anshi a lot.
Yuanze originally expected his father to speak so that his brother would not be reckless, but he didn't know that Wang Anshi was excited at this moment. Seeing that his father's face was slightly red, Wang Yuanze thought that his father was angry. He turned to his father and said respectfully to Wang Anshi, "If Dad didn't want to do this. Why don't I go to the county magistrate and tell him directly that my brother promised the prime minister's messenger. What do you think?
Wang Anshi stood up, patted Yuanze on the shoulder, and walked from Yuanze to Wang's side. There was no reason for me to sit with my son standing. Wang side got up in a hurry. What was his father going to do? He stared and blushed. Wang's side really rarely saw Wang Anshi's expression.
Wang Anshi looked up and down at Wang's side, with a look of approval in his eyes: "Good boy, I support you to do this. Go, follow me to the study. I'll tell you about the tax law and service law of our Song Dynasty today."
This can make Wang's side very happy. Wang Anshi neither supports nor deny what he did in the past. Sometimes even Wang's side doubts whether Wang Anshi is demented from birth because of his body, but sometimes Wang Anshi unconsciously shows concern, which makes Wang side feel that father and son. Deep love, but I always feel that there is not a generation between Wang Anshi. This is not just the distance between time and space. Today, Wang Anshi said "support" for the first time. Wang did not know the fluctuation of his father's mood, but these two words suddenly broke through the sense of diaphragment in Wang's heart,
Wang's heart was full of joy. Wang's father explained it to himself, more than throwing a pile of books to himself, so that he could investigate more. As soon as he was happy, he forgot the superiority of the ancients and inferiority of the ancients. He put Wang Anshi's shoulder like a good buddy and said, "Let's go." Just go out,
Wang Anshi was happy and seemed to be used to Wang's side. With a smile on his face, he stepped out of the hall with Wang's side and walked to the study. Yuan Ze looked at their backs and was stunned at first. In an instant, he saw that the two had stepped out of the door of the hall and hurriedly shouted in the back, "Wait, I'll listen too." Followed quickly,
The father and son went out of the front courtyard hall, and the front and the back walked to the study of the back house. Under the eaves of the corner door, Liu Qi and Tong Guan squatted on the ground with their heads down. They didn't know what they were doing. When they saw the father and son next to the king coming, the two children hurriedly stood up to make way. At the same time, they blocked their bodies behind them, as if there was something. I'm afraid that adults will see it,
At this time, none of the three people next to Wang noticed the two of them. The father and son entered the study. Wang Anshi ordered his servant to prepare tea. It seemed that he wanted to have a good chat with the two children. He first asked Wang and Yuanze to sit down at a square table. He took out a few books from the bookshelf and turned over to make sure that he was what he was looking for. He took the booklet and put it on the table and sat down by himself,
Yuan Ze recognized these books. He pointed to the books and said to the king, "Brother, look, the manuscript materials of the ten thousand words written by my father during the Jiayou period. At that time, my father sorted out the tax law, service law, soldiers and other questions of the current court into a book summary, and included them in these books."
Wang Bian scratched his head. Wang Anshi would not let himself read all these books first. Wang Anshi saw Wang's expression and shook his head and smiled: "You, you just don't work hard as your brother. These are all your brother to help me check the information and collect compilations together." Wang Bong held his fist and smiled at Yuan Ze and said, "I admire, I admire you. I said that if only my brother could be my shogunate." As Wang Anshi opened the brochure and looked for specific information to tell Wang, he asked without raising his head, "You need the shogunate. Didn't the court assign you?" Wang shook his head: "I don't want to be assigned by the court. I'm afraid that they will dictate, but I can't do anything."
Wang Anshi raised his eyelids to look at the king. This boy is different from ordinary people. He wants the shogunate to be purely a lecturer, and he may not need other people's opinions. Wang Anshi suddenly thought of a person: "Oh, if you pay your own salary, you may not use the people of the court. If you want to do something, you have to do something. It's normal for some doormen to find a gentleman by yourself, or I'll recommend someone to you.
The person recommended by Wang Anshi should have no questions about learning, as long as it is not Wang Anshi himself. Wang asked curiously, "Who is Dad talking about?"
Among the many students of Wang Anshi, there is a scholar in the Qingli period. He has a profound bachelor's degree but his official career is not smooth. Although the imperial court has opened the door to the imperial examination, the number of imperial examinations has greatly increased. On average, there are more than 360 people who have obtained the title of Jinshi in each subject. Some of these people have some related backgrounds and have a smooth career. Or there are indeed amazing talents to make the emperor like it. Some people who are attached to power do have a good official career, but there are still some people who are unknown even if they are admitted to Jinshi,
Wang Anshi wants to recommend such a person to Wang. This person is called Hou Shuxian. Now he is the shogunate held by Wang Anshi's son-in-law Wu Anzhi, but he is also suffering from many years of ambitions. He has submitted his resignation, and he is afraid of the deep alley. Wang Anshi is very optimistic about Hou Shuxian's conduct and knowledge, but this person is a person who concentrates on research. People who study learning always discuss the importance of farmland water conservancy construction with Wang Anshi, but at present, Wang Anshi himself has no power. The son-in-law he is optimistic about is a water messenger, but he has done nothing.
Wang Anshi always felt that his son was better than his son-in-law, especially the boy next to the king, who dared to think and dare to do it. If this boy can do things in the future, he must need such a person as Hou Shuxian, so he said to Wang, "This person's surname is Hou Shuxian, and his name is Jingren. He is from Fuzhou."
After listening to his father's words, Yuan Ze couldn't help saying with envy, "Dad is really willing to give up. Didn't he want Mr. Hou to be his father's shogunate?"
When Wang heard Yuan Ze say this, he knew that this person must be appreciated by Wang Anshi, but when he heard Yuan Ze call Hou Lao, he said to himself how old this man be. He was away all year round. If his father recommended one to him, he would not have to confess every day, but Wang still showed a look of acceptance. Answered: Thank you for your father's love. Let's talk about the superiority of Zhu County magistrate first. My brother told me something before that the court is so fierce that it will definitely ask questions after a long time. In addition, what is the saying of this labor service? Why do the people still appoint people as servants after paying the tax officials?
Wang Anshi said to Wang Pian and Yuan Ze, "Our service law has inherited a variety of names for five generations. You are right. The people have paid taxes and it is said that they have completed the labor service, but the government uses the service law to make the people arbitrarily, regardless of whether it is needed. From the front of the government office, the director, the strong man to the warehouse, inspecting, urging the tax and other places to catch the work, the people have to pay taxes and serve, which is unspeakable.
The two brothers next to the king nodded while listening, but Wang Anshi continued: "If you talk about this tax, it may not be the court's fierce collection. The court's treasury is empty. Sometimes, if the court's tax is levied on the state, it will become two points, and when it goes to the house, it will become four points. If it goes to the county and is added by those corrupt officials, then It is much more than the imperial court, and some corrupt officials colluded with the local households to annex the people's land. I think it's a good thing for the imperial court to investigate the Jinxiang Mansion.
How did this become a good thing? Dad's elbow was turning out. Wang Bian couldn't help wondering. Just as he was about to ask, Uncle Zhao came in and reported that a member surnamed Chen came to look for Mr. Wang. Wang couldn't help thinking; Why did he come to the door so quickly? Shouldn't it come out again? What's the matter,
