Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Brother Zihou and Brother Zixuan, the problem is actually very simple. If the Qingmiao Law is abolished from now on, the reform will be declared to be failed, just like the Qingli New Policy. Or if Wang Jiefu left the prime minister and no one led the leader, the reform will be declared to be failed."

"The one in the middle, the one in the middle." He once preached.

This consequence is very serious.

The reform failed immediately, and Zhang Zeng and his political career were announced to be over, and Wang Ju might even be involved. After all, although Wang Ju did not support Wang Anshi's reform, he supported the reform, but the two had different ideas of reform in their minds, so Wang Ju stood by and watched. When the reform school fell, Wen Yanbo, the Lu brothers and Sima Guang were the only one, and Wang Ju had no idea about his future.

If the reform fails, the country will continue to go on the road hungry, so still want to fight and the rise of the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, Wang Ju must work hard for private matters.

However, Wang Ju took a sip of tea and said, "You two, don't worry. Is Your Majesty a depressed lord?"

"Even so, everyone's words can make gold, and three people become tigers." Zeng Bu said again.

There are quite a few ministers who actually support the reform. It is not like Wang Ju’s previous life, as if the reform began, the Song Dynasty collapsed the sky, and the national situation is here. If the reform does not change, the Song Dynasty will continue to be poor and weak, and there will be so many crises, and the destruction will be right in front of us.

So when Song Zhezong was in the hands of Emperor Zhezong, the reformists immediately rose again, which was what people wanted! The reform was good, but when Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were in the hands of the two bastards, they changed their nature and neglected the strength of the Jurchens, which led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, there was still an opportunity at that time, but Qin Hui and Zhao Gou came again. If they continued to do so, the strongest group of troops disappeared. All the generals who could fight were stepped down, and the new powerful and conservative class was mature. Song Xiaozong wanted to do something, but it was too late.

However, those who support the reform are all low-level officials, and some are speculators.

The real powerful, eunuchs, and relatives of the foreigners, were opposed by the reforms, and ninety percent of them opposed it. Their power, including their right to speak, was the situation that the court was almost one-sided.

But Wang Ju didn't think about this. He was thinking about whether to insert this matter, but not insert it. This time, Zhang Zeng and the others couldn't feel cold, and at least he couldn't let Zhang Dun feel disappointed.

So he thought about it again and said, "Brother Zihou, Brother Zixuan, I will talk about reform first. The so-called reform is to change the legal system, or to use another word to replace it."

"Reform?" Zeng Bu felt very novel. The word reform appeared earlier. Even the word revolution came out of Wu Zetian, but the word reform had not appeared yet.

"Reform is about revolution, but revolution is even more serious, which represents complete destruction and incomparable blood."

"Like Wu Zetian?"

"She doesn't count, at least not success."

Zeng Zhang and the others couldn't help but fight a cold war. You should know how many people did Wu Zetian kill? Not to mention her son, even Di Renjie was almost killed by Wu Zetian. This is not a success, so how many people would die if a successful revolution was killed?

"Don't question, a successful revolution is a complete counterattack of one class against another. For example, in our dynasty, all the powerful officials and first and second-class households were defeated, only a few third-class households were retained, and then the fourth-class households were allowed to take over."

"How is that possible?" Zeng Bu said suspiciously again.

Not to mention Wu Zetian's revolution, it is impossible to replace each dynasty. For example, Liu Bang, he and Xiao He and others cannot be considered as fourth- and fifth-class households, let alone Zhang Liang, a nobleman. Liu Xiu doesn't need to say that he was a son of the Liu clan. Later, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan could not be considered as a counterattack like Wang Ju. Liu Yu was born a little poor, but the Southern Song Dynasty still had great power. Then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and to the Song Dynasty, each generation of imperial power did not meet the revolutionary requirements mentioned by Wang Ju.

In fact, later, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a slightly cold manner and did not meet Wang Ju's requirements, because Zhu Yuanzhang rationally led to the landlord class.

But Wang Ju smiled. Because someone met this requirement, he could evenly distribute the land, which in a sense realized what Zhang Zai and Er Cheng said about the well field!

There is no need to say this. Wang Ju said again: "So the revolution is difficult, but reform is different. There is a change before. The so-called reform refers to improvement, which means using some compulsory measures to improve the disadvantages of the existing system and make the country more prosperous."

"Yes, if so, it is exactly the purpose of reform."

"Brother Zixuan, however, it was finally involved in the word "re" so some people will be harmed, and this group is mostly beneficiaries of the original system, so the road to reform is very difficult."

The difficulties Wang Ju mentioned not only refer to the measures of reform, the reform, the past life, and the present, not to mention Wang Anshi, I am afraid that Wang Ju will be able to take charge of the situation, and they are all feeling the stones across the river. This is very difficult in itself, and coupled with the opposition and constraints of the group mentioned by Wang Ju, it will be even more difficult.

Zeng Zhang and the other two had no golden fingers, but they were both people with high IQ. They immediately understood and showed cautious expressions on their faces. Zhang Dun said: "It is difficult for the country and the people, and I will go."

That little commander is not even afraid of death, so what else is he afraid of!

"Brother Zihou, this is a great comfort to my heart. But this is not important. Now we are talking about Mr. Jiefu, and it is very difficult to reform or reform. The government also knows the difficulty, but he still doesn't realize how difficult this is. This is the first. Second, let me ask you two, who are the initiators of the reform?"

"Mr. Jiefu."

"The wrong thing is the official family. The official family has long been in the intention of reforming and seeking innovation. However, there is a shortage of people and skills. Han Wei Gong recommended Jiefu Gong, so Jiefu Gong entered the vision of the official family. The latter part of the reform was not Jiefu Gong, but the official family. Now the official family has some doubts about Jiefu Gong. One is that he neglected the difficulty of the reform, and the other is that some bad things did happen after the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, and the official family has doubts about Jiefu Gong's skills."

"I see……"

"Brother Zihou, it's because of this, so don't worry. If some people only attack Mr. Jiefu's skills, then Mr. Jiefu's skills will be very difficult this time. But they only use some of the disadvantages of Mr. Jiefu's Qingmiao's skills. It is obvious that they are attacking the Qingmiao's skills. In fact, they attack the reform itself. Art is a means, and law is the fundamental. It is the official family. Now the official family has not reacted. Once they react, do you think they will succeed? In a simple sentence, Mr. Jiefu, who will initiate this reform?"

The two were meditating.

Of course, this is the fundamental point. As long as this does not fall, Wang Anshi will not fall for the time being.

But everyone's words make money. God knows whether the emperor can hold on and not be deceived?

But Wang Ju said so much, which was worthy of Zhang Dun’s expectations for him.

"Brother Zihou, how about Kapok Shi?"

"I won't mention this." Zhang Dun said depressedly, and then began to complain about the bitterness.

The first is the decline in cotton prices. If they do not fall, the country will make a big profit and will not cause attacks. However, from the spring, a quilt fell to seven jin of coins. It is not much different from the five jin of coins in the winter of the previous year. Moreover, the court was also responsible for sales, which would result in a large amount of expenditure. Therefore, many ministers wrote another letter saying that they would compete for profit with the people.

The key is that if Zhang Dun does not adjust the price in time and drag it to winter, and the new cotton products will be backlogged, the price will fall even more severely. So the minister attacked, and he had to put his head straight down and lower the price step by step.

Another problem is even more troublesome, that is immigration, which is a good policy. Whether it is Fujian Road or Jiangnan West Road, the population is now dense and unimaginable, with a narrow area and a large population, which makes it very difficult for many lower-class people to survive.

After large-scale immigration, this problem was immediately alleviated. The poor people were moved, and after they arrived in the south, they also had a way out.

But although the intention is good, it is not the case.

First of all, most people are unwilling to leave their hometowns now. Except for the people along the coastal areas of Fujian Road that can be accepted by people, people in other areas are afraid of leaving their hometowns.

Secondly, in the process of carrying out immigration, because there are many people and many officials used, some bad things will inevitably occur.

Once again, the local tyrants did not have cheap labor, including craftsmen, tenants, and even temples could not rent cheap labor. In other words, they did not want to see this happening, whether from the upper class or from religion.

These people, like the Lü brothers and Han Wen, control the local public opinion power. One is to spread rumors, and the other is to have some bad phenomena, so the local people immediately rejected the immigration hosted by the government.

Even some gentry handed over the impeachment memorials to the Beijing Jinzuyuan, which became the basis for the ministers' attack.

Zhang Dun poured the bitter water into pieces and said, "It's so difficult, so difficult."

"Brother Zihou, you are wrong again. Let me give you two examples. The first is sugar sugar. A long time ago, the Central Plains was mostly malt sugar. It was only after Emperor Taizong of Tang introduced the stone honey technology from the Magada Kingdom in India that sugar can be promoted. This is the foundation of sugar. That is, sugar sugar appeared on the shoulders of Emperor Taizong and his predecessors. The second is Chameng rice. The history of rice planting in Chameng is unknown for thousands of years, but who should pay attention? It was precisely because the Zhenzong emperor sent envoys to introduce that our dynasty was promoted. Rice gradually became the mainstream food, and it was precisely because of the promotion of high-yield grain that our dynasty was able to feed more people."

“What does it have to do with Kapok?”

"Kapocao appeared very early in our dynasty. Grass cotton seeds from the Western Regions are not suitable for introduction, but Kapok appeared in Lingnan very early, which was also the basis of the predecessors. Then I planned and sent envoys to Lingnan to manage Kapok from the inner warehouse. This is also the result that I and the predecessors achieved by standing on the shoulders of the predecessors. The predecessors made the greatest contribution, followed by the official and then the merchants. Without the crazy hype of the merchants, it would be impossible to have the crazy price of the previous year. This is also the credit! It is the merit of these three that the benefits of the Kapok Branch have been achieved."

"ah."

If there was no Wang Ju, there would be one person who would have to thank the cotton promotion, Zhu Yuanzhang!

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang, cotton might have continued to slowly thrust in the south in the Ming Dynasty. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who attached importance to cotton that cotton planting began to become popular, and then Huang Daopo further promoted it and cotton planting was large-scale. It was precisely because of cotton that the Ming Dynasty initially officially operated Liaodong.

This process is very slow, so there is no huge profit.

Now this huge profit is Wang Ju's plan and the second is the promotion of merchants. So Wang Jucai talked about the achievements of merchants, but Zhang Dun didn't know this.

Therefore, in a sense, Kapok is indeed competing for profit with the "people".

"Zi'an means to hand over the business to the merchant?"

"Brother Zixuan, things are rare, and the more you plant, the cheaper you are. Now, it is impossible for merchants to agree to a price of five jin. And more and more will be planted in the south of Lingnan, Fujian Road, Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road. With the evolution of seeds, even Hebei and Hedong can be planted in the future. How can the court monopolize? Besides, food, clothing, housing and transportation, food and clothing are the first priority. It is related to people's livelihood and the food and clothing of the people. The court can regulate it. However, since ancient times, which dynasty has monopolized the management of food and clothing?"

This is a multiple-choice question. Wang Ju didn't say how to choose.

Zhang Dun was silent.

"Brother Zihou, it is not serious now. Because I have grown very few things and are still luxury goods, it cannot be said to be people's livelihood. In recent years, the court can monopolize business and make profits, or leave it to merchants to resolve some merchants' resentment towards the court. But the most important thing is this public opinion issue, which is the hardest to solve." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
