Lu Yijian looked at Wang Zeng, who was calm and not happy or angry, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaoxian said this, some scholars said. The money in this world is natural for profit. As long as the annual interest is appropriate, don't be greedy and get too high interest. Xu Ping only lends to their companies on Jingxi Road. In my opinion, there are only two points. One is to make tax money mainly come from the company, and the money loaned to them is a subsidy. Another company's account is tight, so the money in the money does not need to be spared and the money shop does not need to waste the effort to catch up the accounts. Among the two points, the first point is the first point. There is a lot of cotton on Jingxi Road, of course, so why should I learn to walk in Handan in other places? In Kaifeng Prefecture and other places, the money in the money shop can of course be left to others, for fear that the principal and interest will not be collected at that time, so I will find someone to guarantee it. What's the difficulty?"

Wang Zeng said lightly: "Every year, because the quality warehouse is released and loans are released, there are many lawsuits, and there are even tragic incidents of being forced to sell his daughter. This is the case with the government lending. In order to avoid losing capital, officials are afraid that they will cause more trouble."

"Where is the best of both worlds in the world? One advantage must be another disadvantage. It is good to lend money and it is good to have problems, so it is just strictly controlled."

"Plan for enriching the country and safeguarding the people" actually includes two aspects: one is to enrich the country and the other is to safeguard the people. The specific policies in the latter are mainly about how to enrich the country. The previous theoretical part mainly talks about how to safeguard the people, but the purpose of enriching the country is to safeguard the people, and the foundation is to safeguard the people.

In the same book, Wang Zeng valued peace and prosperity, and wealth could not deviate from this purpose. Lu Yijian valued how to enrich the country. As for people's peace, it was the benefit that a wealthy country would be brought about after a wealthy country. Different understandings and different purposes, the same policies would have huge differences. In Wang Zeng's eyes, no matter how rich the government has, it cannot be considered a harmonious government. However, Lu Yijian felt that the difficulty of governing was because he had no money. If he had money, everything would be smooth.

Wang Zeng remained silent. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Like these things, Xu Ping has always arranged them by his hands. He knew the pros and cons of them best. Since we are going to implement a new policy, why should we take risks? Let Xu Ping return to Beijing to preside over the presidency. The person who tied the bell must be untied. The matter of Jingxi Road starts from him, so he will solve this dilemma himself!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up. In his heart, the ideal result was naturally to let Xu Ping come back. Others talked about those policies, and only Xu Ping could hit the nail on the head. However, Xu Ping was not qualified and had a reputation. For such a national affairs, the Prime Minister must be in charge of the Political Affairs Hall and fully supported, otherwise it would be just a bustle and could not be implemented. The two prime ministers rarely agreed to try Xu Ping's new policy on West Jing Road. Zhao Zhen's intention was to let Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian temporarily put aside their struggle and fully support Xu Ping. Unexpectedly, they did not mention Xu Ping's return, and the two quarreled again.

Lu Yijian said to Wang Zeng: "It's best to get Xu Ping back, but now Jingxi Road cannot do without him. Last year, a group of branch officials were dissatisfied with the new policy and jointly relied on the court. We just suppressed it. Once Xu Ping left, who else could clean up the situation? He was most afraid of giving up halfway through the process. He asked Xu Ping to return to Beijing, but he was afraid that the court's affairs were not done well, and even the situation on Jingxi Road collapsed. Wang Xianggong's statement sounded reasonable, but it was actually inappropriate."

Song Shou suddenly interrupted: "It's not just that the West Road of Jing is inseparable from Xu Ping, but the situation in the northwest is also unstable. When Xu Ping was in the capital two years ago, Dangxiang had a fine work in the city. He concluded at that time that Yuan Hao's foundation in Dangxiang was not as solid as outsiders, and he had to continue to start wars. If he wins, he can increase his prestige, and if he loses, he can borrow the heads of those who don't obey him to clean up the internal affairs of Dangxiang. He also asserted that once Dangxiang was defeated by Tubo, the days of rebellion from the Song Dynasty would not be far away. Dangxiang was one or two hundred years away from the northwest, and has been passed down for several generations, with a vast land of thousands

There are hundreds of thousands of armors in the country, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary barbarian countries. Once there is a change in the northwest, there must be important officials who can conquer battles there. The civil and military officials of this dynasty will compete with foreign countries. Who can compare with Xu Ping? In Yongzhou, he used a state to pacify Jiaozhi, destroy the country, and hold the king. If Dangxiang rebels against the dynasty, he must go! If he is transferred back to Beijing, if the new policy stall is spread for a few months, Dangxiang will come out, what should he do? Then transfer Xu Ping to the northwest, who will clean up the stall? Why not do it from the beginning!”

Cai Qi said: "According to the Song Dynasty's political sect, if Dangxiang did not rebel for ten years, Xu Ping would not have to be with him for ten years? If he did not rebel for a hundred years, then Xu Ping would have waited for the outside prefectures and counties for the rest of his life? What Xu Ping said back then was just to infer the situation in the northwest based on the situation at that time, and the world was in constant uncertainty, and there were always various accidents. Dangxiang was defeated by Tubo, and now he went to fight Hexi again. It would not be pacified in a few years. Moreover, our great country will naturally be dominated by our country's government, so how can we be controlled by the barbarian and small states!"

Song Shou looked at Cai Qi coldly and said in a deep voice: "The view of the sound of books! A major event in war is a matter of the country's survival and death. There should be no slackness! It is better to prepare a sharp weapon than to use it, not to be prepared for a day!"

Cai Qi turned around and glared at Song Shou: "You are sharp-tongued, and you sound like you are thinking about the country. Who doesn't know the dirty ideas in your stomach? Without Xu Ping, I, the Song Dynasty, can't deal with Dangxiang, a small country? The three yamen commanded hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, many soldiers, and the armor is excellent. If Yuan Hao rebels, he will be able to pacify him!"

Song Shou sneered: "Then we have to ask the Privy Council, how is the imperial guards compared to the previous emperor today?"

Seeing everyone turning around and looking at him, Zhang Shixun couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. After pondering for a long time, he had to hold his scepter: "Although Xifu and Sansi tried their best in the past few years, their military strength was still insufficient compared to the time of the previous emperor."

Cai Qi said angrily: "The amount of money paid to the military in the past two years is 20% more than in previous years. The money and grain have been spent countless times, but the military strength is not as good as before. What are the Western Prefecture and the Third Yamen doing?! Xu Ping collected more money and grain in the capital two years ago, and 80% of the money paid to the military supplies. In the end, was the money spent in vain? According to the Privy Council, the imperial guards cannot fight, so he must use him as a civil servant?"

Zhang Shixun whispered: "It is born a good general, and the ability to lead a soldier cannot be piled up with money."

Seeing Cai Qi turn to look at him, Li Zi shook his head silently. He was in the Privy Council, mainly to eliminate redundant and eliminate some ills in the yamen. It is really unclear how powerful the military power is. In fact, how can Zhang Shixun know? The power of military and political affairs belongs to the three yamen. The military men have the support of the emperor, and civil officials have never been allowed to interfere in the civil servants. Even the imperial guards are directly controlled by the emperor, and neither the Privy Councilor nor the prime minister can interfere with Lu Yijian. Zhang Shixun was just gritting the bullet and saying that he would agree with Lu Yijian.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, he could not do anything to Zhao Jiqian. He fought with Dangxiang, but in the end he could only exchange for Dangxiang to continue to surrender and actually seize the throne. The Privy Council was shameless and said that the military strength is not as good as the Zhenzong period, and Yuan Hao is better than his father, which is well known. What should we do? Everyone discusses, the Privy Council has no choice but to do anything.

Seeing Wang Zeng sitting there with a sad look and without saying a word, Cai Qi could no longer bear it. He stood up and pointed at Song Shou opposite him and said, "You are also the ruling minister. You are also the ruling minister. You are paid by the country. Be careful and have no distractions and be loyal to the country. But secretly, you cling to the important ministers in the court to consolidate your position, only care about the selfish interests of a few people, and do not think about the world. Why should you sit in the political affairs hall!"

Song Shou was stunned by Cai Qi's scolding, and came to his senses. His nameless heart became angry and suddenly stood up. He shouted loudly: "What important ministers do you have to cling to? You have something to say clearly! A real man stands tall and does not point to the mulberry and the locust! What I said just now is not about the country, the world, or for the sake of selfish interests? What selfish interests!"

Cai Qi sneered: "What's there anything you dare not say? I mean you cling to Mr. Lu. In the political affairs hall, you look at Mr. Lu's eyes and act without any opinion! Do you dare to say it? Without Mr. Lu's support, how can you be worthy of sitting here with us to discuss matters? Bah!"

"Oh, oh, Cai Qi, are you sorry for saying these words? Mr. Lu is right, of course I support you right! You said I agree with Mr. Lu, don't you see Mr. Wang's wink in everything? Do you think everyone can't see it?"

Seeing that Cai Qi and Song Shou were so angry that they didn't even care about etiquette, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but change his face. He saw a lot of fuss with the emperor in the palace, and he was also spitting at the same time, but they were all just talking about the matter. When discussing matters in front of the emperor, he openly attacked each other, which was really rare. Last time, Fan Zhongyan accused Lu Yijian of forming a party, but he was demoted from the court because of his clique. This time, he went further. The two participated in politics and accused each other of forming a party.

Lu Yijian's heart skipped a beat, accusing him of not being afraid of anything, but he really couldn't afford to be accused of forming a clique in private. The emperor was originally afraid of this, and Ding Wei was too fussy, and now everyone is afraid of this crime. Seeing that Wang Zeng sitting next to him was as heavy as water, as if he had not heard the words of Cai Qi and Song Shou, Lu Yijian felt even more wrong.

Zhao Zhen coughed heavily, and Lu Yijian quickly stood up and said to Cai Qi and Song Shou, "The saint should be the one who discusses matters in front of him. You should be polite to the ministers. You are like village men. Where can you still look like ministers?!"

Cai Qi sneered: "Mr. Lu is now covering up with one hand. No matter what we say, we can't help. We can't try to be happy and we can't suffocate to death in the political affairs hall!"

Seeing that Cai Qi was already willing to stay in the court, Lu Yijian had no choice but to turn around and say to Wang Zeng on the side: "Xiaoxian, you and I are prime ministers, and you are so chaotic, you will be laughed at by someone!"

Wang Zeng said lightly: "I think what Cai Chanzheng said makes sense. Since this is true and people don't talk, won't they make people laugh? Tanfu is obsessed with him."
