Cry for Song

Chapter 56 Tong Guan was encouraged

When Wang saw Li Shen say that he wanted to come alone, he immediately thought of who Li Shen was talking about, so he said with a smile, "You are talking about the drunken man Ouyang Xiu. I heard that he resigned when I went back to the capital this time and was about to write a letter of greetings."

Li Shen couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The drunken man is a good face. It would be great if the prince came forward to persuade him to come back."

When Wang saw Li Shen's earnestness, he remembered that he used to drink with Cai Xiang, Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen. Now that Cai Xiangying has passed away young, Ouyang Xiu has also resigned and returned to his hometown. He can't help but sigh in his heart,

Li San's talk time was not short. He got up and said goodbye. The king accompanied Li Shen out of the room. Seeing that He Zhu and Lu Shenyan were still waiting there in the hall, Counselor Li said, "There are a lot of talents in the prince's house. When I was just waiting for you, I talked with this young man. His poetry is very knowledgeable, and it would be comparable to Liu San's change in time."

Wang knew that Liu Sanbian mentioned by Li Shen was Liu Yong, a famous euphemistic lyricist. He didn't expect Li Shen to have such a high evaluation of He Zhu. He smiled and said, "Qingchen is flattered. You also know that although I know a lot of things, when it comes to poetry and songs, it is estimated that these kids are better than me." With that, he greeted He Zhu and said, "He Zhu, you send Li Shenzhi (Li Shen's official position to know the political affairs) out of the government."

He Zhu promised to stand up. The boy was seven feet tall and five or three thick. The king couldn't help laughing. This boy, nicknamed He Guitou, could actually write graceful poems comparable to Liu Yong. If you look at the poems first and then people, the visual impact would be big enough, but there was no intention to look down on He Zhu by his appearance. On the contrary, I feel that I am very proud to have a lot of talents around me.

When He Zhu sent Li Shen downstairs, Lu Shenyan whispered next to the king, "Your Majesty, why isn't you in the house?"

Everyone in the house knows that Wang is very strict with Tong Guan. Usually, it is rare for Tong Guan to leave the house without permission, and Lu Shenyan also watches Tong Guan grow up, so he should care more than ordinary people,

Wang was also surprised when he listened: "Why isn't he in the house?"

Lu Shenyan told Wang that Tong Guan had something wrong and asked He Zhu to be on duty for him. Wang's face was slightly dark, but on second thought, Tong Guan was also sixteen or seventeen years old. Now it's not appropriate to treat him as a child. "It's okay. Although this child is naughty, he is not out of style. I'll ask Rouer to ask him later, you. Call Mr. Hou and Cai Jing up.

After saying that, Wang turned around and returned to the study. Cai Jing and Hou Shuxian were sorting out the documents needed to see Shenzong tomorrow. Hearing Lu Shenyan say that Li Shen had left, the prince called them. Both of them stopped their work and followed Lu Shenyan to the study on the third floor.

As soon as the two entered the door, Wang asked with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, what can I do if I listen to you about farmland water conservancy?"

Cai Jing said, "I still think that if the farmers pay for it, this matter will definitely not be carried out. However, the matter of farmland and water conservancy should be paid by the court, just like the court paid for the construction of bridges and roads. This is a major event for the benefit of the people's livelihood."

"It's that simple." Wang asked,

"Well, I also thought about it. The people can't pay this money, but they can contribute. If you consider how much power the farmers can be replaced with how many seeds, it will be sent to the farmers during the spring ploughing and sowing period, wouldn't it be better." After saying that, Cai Jing looked at Wang nervously,

Wang asked Hou Shuxian, "Mr. Hou, what do you think of Cai Jing's proposal?"

Hou Shuxian said with a smile, "Can Yuan Chang think so? I think Yuan Chang's proposal is feasible."

Wang nodded: "Mr. Yuanchang, in the future, as long as you think about everything from the perspective of the people, but whether it is to repair the bridge and repair the road, or farmland and water conservancy, the people don't have to pay, and there is no way for the court to pay."

"There is such a good way." Cai Jing's eyes widened, and Hou Shuxian also said, "Your Majesty, come on."

"Let me give you a hint to repair the road by repairing the bridge. There are local gentry and rich people everywhere. Now there is a shortage of the imperial treasury, but the infrastructure cannot be left behind. We can propose that these rich people take out money and let them do the work of repairing the bridge and repairing the road."

Hou Shuxian said, "The prince said this is a good deed, but not everyone is willing to pay this money."

Wang said with a smile, "If there are only a few people in a place who can undertake this work and are responsible for the maintenance of roads and bridges, in this way, the vehicles passing within three years will have a certain amount of maintenance fees, and many people will be willing to do it."

"Willn't others take a detour?" Cai Jing asked puzzledly,

Wang Zhu shook his head: "Detour, how to take a detour from Jincheng to the capital in winter, how to take a detour, how to take a detour to Yanzhou, and transport goods. If you take a detour, the cost of the road will increase a lot."

Hou Shuxian thought carefully: "Your Majesty, what you said is not impossible, but now all the transportation on the official road and the places passing by have to pay taxes to the state government, so that the people will increase the cost."

Wang has thought of this for a long time. He explained: "The government's collection of taxes is nothing more than for construction. If it is reduced or exempted from those taxes and the cost of proper maintenance of the road for private adoption, the government can save a lot of labor and material resources. Of course, this is just an example."

Cai Jing frowned and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I understand that we can recruit rich people and let them pay. When the gully water area is repaired, they can recover their investment according to the people's water and appropriate fees, so that they can also make a profit, and a few years later, these repaired water conservancy projects Then the government will take over. I don't know if I understand it this way.

Wang nodded: "Smart."

Cai Jing continued, "Your Majesty, there is something I can't figure out. If someone has built these facilities, how to calculate the fee."

Wang said, "You can make an accounting according to how many places need to be irrigated. However, how to calculate this specifically, you have to bother you. You can't let the people lose money, and you can't afford to pay. Of course, since you want to ask the emperor to give some support to the good projects built, the court will definitely have It's supplemented."

Cai Jing and Hou Shuxian nodded vigorously. Wang also knew that this thing was meticulous, and when he didn't start to do it, he never knew what would happen once the execution would happen. "You guys, I'm just talking about an idea. You can discuss it again. When we see the emperor tomorrow, we can set the general direction first and ask specific questions. Solve it in the implementation.

The general direction has been determined, and there is no need for Wang to worry about the specific details. Cai Jing's idea is agreed by Wang, but the specific direction should be decided according to the specific situation of the prefecture and county where he is located. If it is difficult to find funds in poor counties, Cai Jing's proposal is from However, it has also become the first choice,

Everyone saw that there was no big disagreement in the discussion. Wang's side asked Mr. Hou and Cai Jing to go to his father Wang Anshi's house. After all, all the laws made by Wang's side were based on the content of Wang Anshi Xining's change, but for Wang's side, although Wang Anshi's change was aimed at the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty, many reasonable and effective methods were proposed. But after all, the ancients are the ancients, and there are still some questions from the perspective of understanding the problem to some extent. Therefore, just like Wang's comprehensive consideration, on the original basis, appropriate flexible, so as to better implement,

Hou Shuxian and Cai Jing were ordered to go to Wang Anshi Mansion. Wang Bian waited until they came back. He was sure that his father not only had no objection to the modification of farmland water conservancy, but also very sure that a stone in Wang's heart fell.

When he came out of the office building, Wang's side walked to the inner house accompanied by Lu Shenyan. The night of the king's house was very quiet. As soon as Wang side turned the corner door, he faintly heard the hurried footsteps behind him. He stopped and looked back. A normal figure came to them.

Suddenly, someone seemed to see Wang. Just as he wanted to turn around, Wang asked, "Guan'er, where have you been?"

It was too late for Tong Guan to avoid it again, so he had to turn around and walk to Wang: "A few good friends asked me to eat and drink together, so I came back late."

Wang said without showing a look, "Oh, is it Zhe Kejun and others in the house? Let's go and talk to Dad." While talking, slow down and talk with Tong Guan,

Seeing that Wang didn't mean to blame him, Tong Guan said a little, "No, because it's not them, I'm afraid that my father will blame him, so I didn't dare to tell you."

Wang said happily, "How can I blame you? You have grown up, and some of your own friends should do it. When I was your age like you, I could also socialize with my friends."

Tong Guan was completely relieved when he heard this. He laughed and said, "I just said that my father is the most reasonable."

Wang said in a slightly heavy tone, "The reason why I usually restrain you is that your identity is different from others, so it is inevitable that some people will like the identity of you as the prince of the royal palace, and make some wine and meat friends. In addition, it is not like in the royal palace outside, and everyone may meet anyone, like what I saw today. Shrew, and there are other scoundrels in the market. If you don't pay attention to your words and deeds, it's easy to make people talk.

Tong Guan patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I won't humiliate you." After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes and suddenly asked Wang, "Dad, is Master Guo you invited today really that powerful? Also, Deyunshe will go to the game on behalf of our royal palace. Can we add it?"

"Of course, when Master Guo and others move into the royal palace, you have to train together."

"Oh, let Master Guo be our leader. Will he let his apprentice be the captain?"

Wang said something when he listened to Tong Guan's words. He asked with a smile, "Since I let Master Guo be the leader, of course I have to believe in Master Guo. If you want to be the captain, it depends on your ability."

Tong said disdainfully, "Of course, don't you trust me, Gao Yu Cuju, okay, so what? Even he said that I was comparable to him. It's a pity not to be a captain."

Wang Zan frowned slightly: "Is the friend you're talking about outside Gao Yu?"

Tong Guan replied, "Yes, Gao Yu, He Jing and Li Yunwei were all recruited to the prince's mansion to play football, but I think as long as I am the captain, they are definitely not our opponents."
