Chapter 1059 Best Friend Wang Anshi

As the saying goes, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. After three years of Wang Yan’s rule, it became even more prosperous, and Qiantang’s prosperity reached a new height.

This is a very necessary thing, and Wang Yan did it intentionally. If all nine counties in Hangzhou develop in a balanced manner, it will be mediocre and not conducive to governance. As a state administrative seat, Qiantang invested the most resources.

On the other hand, Qiantang needs to be developed into an economic center, so that large households in other counties can concentrate on Qiantang. In local counties, you can only buy ordinary daily necessities and slightly higher-end products, but when it comes to high-end products, you must go to Qiantang. Gathering big businessmen in one city and one place in this way will intensify competition, improve business vitality, and also build industrial clusters.

This is necessary to make Qiantang more prosperous. It not only absorbs the large households and talented people in the state, but also swallows up the surrounding states and counties. In ancient times, it was impossible for a state to support a big city. It had to absorb nutrients from surrounding areas...

Outside Qiantang City, there is a lively scene of all living beings.

There are scholars traveling in groups in warm spring, ladies from wealthy families traveling together, caravans coming from all over to deliver goods, and rough men wearing rags but holding clean children. There are nobles riding carriages and officials walking quickly. Around them, there were two-by-two groups of policemen, wearing light armor and holding swords on their waists. Their eyes were constantly patrolling the crowd, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Not far away, there is a newly built market. People were hawking and wandering in it, which was very lively.

Among this bustling crowd, there were two carriages, one with an extra carriage for passengers, and the other with an oilcloth cargo. There were a few shabby servants around, a strong man driving the carriage, an old woman riding in the carriage, and a little girl walking behind the carriage.

In front of the team was a man in simple clothes. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, dark skin color, and a thin body. With his hands behind his back, he slowly followed the crowd into the city.

At the city gate, they divided into two teams. One team is a common people, and the other team is also a common people.

But it was obviously divided into classes. On one side were teams with carriages, and on the other side were ordinary people entering the city, some carrying goods, some carrying baggage and the like.

The inspection process is also different. The people carrying the burdens over there are the people who come into the city to sell. The gatekeepers and soldiers simply look through it. If it is a small fruit, they will pick one up and taste it, laughing and joking. Let people in. Those carrying baggage have to open it and take a look before letting it go. The rest of the people didn't even ask.

It's different when you get to the side with carriages. Some people carry access signs and let people go after a brief look at them. Some people need to come down and inspect it, and they have to look through it inside and out.

As expected, this man's team was strictly inspected. The wives and children in the car were all asked to get off the carriage, and the cloth behind the carriage containing things was also lifted and searched carefully.

The clerk looked at the soldiers inspecting them carefully and asked with a smile: "You have so many possessions, but you want to move to Qiantang?"

"Exactly." The thin man with a dark face nodded with a smile, and then asked, "But I don't know why we are conducting a strict inspection, but others go straight into the city?"

"The general magistrate registered the carriages and horses in the city. Those people were from families with official documents and had lived in Qiantang for a long time. They were familiar with each other, so they were easily let in. This gentleman was the first to come here when he saw him, so he needed to check carefully. I will issue the documents again and go to the Yamen to register in the near future. Only after receiving the documents can I travel smoothly. "

"I heard that Wang Tongpan was once surrounded and killed by a large local army. Could it be that he was afraid that some gangsters would bring contraband and enter the city to carry out assassinations?"

"Haha..." The young official sneered, shook his head and said, "My family is both civil and military. Hundreds of thieves were surrounded by hundreds of thieves that day. Their faces did not change, and they went straight into the thieves' formation. No one dared to move, so how could they be afraid of assassination. Lang You will know the reason sooner or later, and I will tell you. It has nothing to do with freight and riding, and it costs money to register and maintain roads, and to deal with horse manure and streets. The purpose of sweeping comes from this.”

"Oh? What about the cleaning fee?"

The clerk didn't answer, but looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Lang talks too much, please show the household sticker for registration."

The man waved his hand, and the old servant behind him took a step forward, took out the document from the small bag he was carrying and presented it to him: "This is my master's complaint and transfer order. You must check it carefully."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, then opened the door, looked at the transfer order, and then looked at the dark and thin man in front of him. At this time, the household registration must state the person's appearance. It is not just a matter of fooling around, but the person's appearance and characteristics must be written down so that people can identify them at a glance. The same goes for the official confession document, which is the most basic.

After reading it again, the little official didn't panic because he didn't say anything too extreme, and such a big man wouldn't care about him. After all, there are people like my Tongpan who can remember his name, buy roast chicken, and sit with them at the city gate to eat and drink, but there are no people...

He cupped his hands and saluted solemnly: "I have seen Zhizhou, and the matters regarding his residence and official residence have been arranged by Tong San. I will take Zhizhou there now."

After that, he asked the inspecting soldiers to stop, and sent someone to the academy to tell Wang Yan that the new governor of the state had taken office.

In the yamen, fools cannot stay. You need to be smart, sensible, able to read people's eyes, be able to talk, and more importantly, be able to get things done. Otherwise, they will not be able to keep this decent, high-benefits, and powerful job...

This dark-faced and thin man is naturally Wang Anshi, who took over Wang Yan's job.

He asked curiously: "Is Wang Tongpan giving lectures in the academy?"

"Exactly, I heard that Tongpan's knowledge has improved again, but I have been going there less frequently recently."

Wang Anshi nodded and followed the clerk into the city to the house arranged for him. I was curious about everything I saw along the way, and I kept asking the clerk about the situation.

The junior official was also sensible. Later, Wang Anshi started talking about it himself without asking him again. From the streets to the renovation and construction process, from the shops on the roadside, to the commercial development of Hangzhou in recent years, from time to time I have to mention who the big companies are now and what industries they have, etc., it is clearly explained. clear.

This made Wang Anshi very strange and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you know so much about the affairs of the state?"

"It's because Tongpan opened a printing workshop in the yamen and published an issue of Di Bao every half month, so that I and other junior officials can also know the state affairs and better understand the development of Hangzhou."

"Oh? Is this happening? Tell me in detail."

Wang Anshi was very interested in everything in Hangzhou.

The desire for reform did not arise suddenly. He must have had a certain understanding of the country and society, discovered some problems that needed to be corrected, and started some thinking. Only then did he have the intention to reform. This is the case with Wang Anshi. He had already been thinking about these issues and had deeply studied the failure of Fan Zhongyan's reform.

It was also in the process of his research that a generation of forced kings came into being. He first worshiped Ouyang Xiu as his teacher and became famous for his calligraphy. Later, he established the Dao in four sentences during the state examination, and then published "Wang Yanshuo" in Beijing. The top scholar in high school, passed through Hangzhou.

Wang Anshi was very knowledgeable. He had also read Wang Yan's books and understood some of Wang Yan's ideas. At that time, I wanted to contact Wang Yan, but there was no chance. Later, he heard about Wang Yan's story about Chang Ping Cang.

Wang Yan used Chang Pingcang to launch an attack, expand his attack area, and seize power. This is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. It was just too fierce and too fast, so that people didn't even react. Later, there was the cleaning fee incident that shocked the world. Wang Yan wrote to Zhao Zhen to clear out the land, conduct a population census, and levy additional business taxes. Then, Hangzhou was the only place in the world that implemented the cleaning fee issue.

Later, there was the vigorous matter of clearing the land.

People in the ruling class all knew that Wang Yan and Fan Zhongyan were causing trouble in Hangzhou, and it was clear that another upsurge in reform had begun. Many people even know that Wang Yan took the initiative in Hangzhou, and Fan Zhongyan's contribution was not to stop him.

What people in the world are paying attention to is that Wang Yan dared to risk the world's disapproval to increase business taxes, clear land acres, and check household registrations. The key is that such things were accomplished, and all the big families in Hangzhou were ruined by Wang Yan. A group of people were killed when arresting people, a group of people were killed on the way to the northwest, and a group of people were killed when they arrived at the local area. Many officials were implicated, and the military was also exposed to the reselling of weapons and equipment.

But no one paid attention to how Wang Yan governed Hangzhou. Maybe people paid attention to it, but didn't say anything about it. Because many things are based on the state capital having money. From the beginning to the end, the money Wang Yan spent in Hangzhou was confiscated from his house, and others could not learn from it.

But Wang Anshi wanted to learn because his ideas coincided with what Wang Yan had done. That is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess loss. He checked Wang Yan's operations and found that Wang Yan only did one thing, and that was control. Regulate food, regulate land, regulate population, and regulate the business environment. He believed that Wang Yan was from the same group as him...

"I've heard about Wang Tongpan's name a long time ago and have been friends with him for a long time. I'm really lucky to meet him today."

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Zhizhou is a disgrace to me. I am lucky to be able to see Zhizhou. When Zhizhou signed the contract for Huainan, he practiced benevolent government and had to do everything personally. I heard about it before I did it. Later, I studied under Ouyang Gong, When I heard that Zhizhou abandoned its pavilions and pavilions, he made great progress in building construction and promoting culture and education in Shuzhou. He was also diligent in administration and caring for the people, and achieved great results. I admire him very much."

Originally, they wanted to gather state officials to help Wang Anshi to clean up his troubles, but Wang Anshi refused. He was not good at this. At the same time, he also knew very well that the rest of the state officials would be in vain. Only by winning Wang Yan's support could he carry out his work in Hangzhou. Wang Yan needs to explain things clearly to him before he can do anything, because it is really difficult for him to understand Hangzhou now.

So he said directly that he wanted to have a good chat with Wang Yan. Wang Yan welcomed Wang Anshi and his family to his home for dinner.

At the moment, the two of them were eating and drinking in the front hall, while Wang Anshi's wife and seven-year-old son were in the backyard, entertained by Hualan and Shulan. At the same time, Wang Yan was very generous. He asked the kitchen to prepare good wine and food, and sent them to Wang Anshi's house to entertain his servants and maids...

After listening to Wang Yan's words, Wang Anshi also became serious. Because if we just talk about the signing of the contract in the front, it can only be said that Wang Yan knows his name, but when Wang Yan talks about the later things, it means that he is really paying attention to him. Obviously, the importance of the two is different.

"I have been taught and supported by Duke Ouyang. You are his disciple, so don't be so polite. Just call me by my cousin."

"Then you're welcome, brother Jiefu?"

"Why should this be so, my dear brother Ziyan?"

The two laughed loudly and bought each other a glass of wine. Wang Anshi shook his head and sighed: "To tell you more carefully, I am able to come here to know about Hangzhou, and it is all thanks to my virtuous brother." Wang Anshi ranked fourth in the imperial examination, although he was seven years older than Wang Yan. He was promoted to an official in the imperial examination, but after seven years, he was only on the same level as Wang Yan before. According to normal procedures, he is still half a level away from becoming a magistrate, and he also lacks the qualifications of Beijing Middle School. In other words, he took the position of governor at least three to five years in advance. Even faster than Wang Yan, the top pick.

Wang Anshi is thirty-one years old this year, and Wang Yan is twenty-two. From the current point of view, Wang Anshi is more like the number one scholar than Wang Yan.

Of course, times make heroes, and others dare not come. They don’t have Wang Anshi’s ability, Wen Yanbo’s recommendation, and they don’t have the emperor’s appreciation. For Wang Anshi, this is a matter of course...

"No, it's because my brother is capable of what others are unable to do, and he dares to do things that others dare not do. If not, I'm afraid the land of Hangzhou will be overrun." Wang Yan said with a smile, "I heard that it's Wen Xiang Recommended by the emperor?"

"That's right. Wen Xiang said that although I have little qualifications, I can do my job, but I am overrated by Wen Xiang. To be honest, before I came here, I was sure to sort out the affairs in Hangzhou, but what I saw along the way From what I have heard, I know that your prince is a great talent.”

Wang Yan smiled slightly. How does it feel to be flattered by Wang Anshi? If it was the first time he received the care of his living father, his heart would soar with joy. But now, it's just mediocre, because he has met too many awesome people.

Wang Anshi is not as dark as in many works. It seems that in the legend, Wang Anshi is darker than Lao Bao. In fact, it is just a little bit darker, which is caused by being exposed to the sun for a long time, and the corresponding skin is also rough.

Although looking back at Wang Anshi and Xining's reform, they vigorously eliminated dissidents. If they did not support his reform, they would be sent out to travel. But in fact, during their short time together, Wang Yan had already noticed that Wang Anshi was not that arrogant.

He just practices his own ideals in the cracks of reality and is a man who does practical things.

In private, he is still very gentle, he can be called humble and respectful, and he is a down-to-earth person. Of course, no matter how honest he is, when he praises Wang Yan now, he doesn't change his face. He may not be skilled in business, but he has seen pigs run away.

If the historical image is brought into the current scene, it will bring a sense of joy from some conflicts, so the corner of Wang Yan's mouth also raised a wider arc.

This made Wang Anshi think that he had taken the photo in the right place, but then he heard Wang Yan say: "I know what my brother is thinking. Everyone in the capital heard that my king Yan has no tolerance for others, and he has been appointed as the general judge of Hangzhou, and he went to the Tang Dynasty. In such a situation, my brother dares to come, and I respect him as a human being.

However, Hangzhou is my hard work, and the good situation must not be ruined. I think my elder brother is a pragmatic person, and my younger brother is not a boastful person. My brother said that he had seen something along the way, but I don’t know how he planned to find out about Hangzhou? "

"Without him, Xiao's rules are just followed by Cao Cao." Wang Anshi said, "I won't hide it from my dear brother, I also have the intention of reform. What my dear brother did in Hangzhou is very much in line with my wishes. The situation in Hangzhou is very good now, so I don't want me to do anything. As long as we continue to curb the wealthy and powerful, strictly investigate corruption and bribery, and uphold laws and regulations, Hangzhou will have no worries.”

Seeing Wang Yan nodding and showing a certain degree of satisfaction, Wang Anshi continued, "It's just that there are still many things that are unclear, and I still need my dear brother to clear up my doubts..."

"Brother, it's okay to say it. My little brother will definitely tell you everything he knows."

"I heard that my dear brother has been exempted from many miscellaneous taxes..."

Wang Anshi had many questions, but they mainly revolved around economics. Only a few of them discussed with Wang Yan the significance of the existence of large households. This can be seen from looking at Xining's reform. They are all about making money.

Of course, having said that, being rich and powerful means making a lot of money, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that in the process of making money, it becomes robbing money from the people, which is not good.

This exchange lasted from the afternoon to the afternoon of the next day. Wang Yan talked a lot about political economics and currency. In the final analysis, he talked about how to make the market bigger so that everyone involved in all aspects can make money. Later, it was no longer even limited to Hangzhou, but talked about some problems at the entire national level, as well as some solutions.

In general, it was Wang Yan who gave Wang Anshi a small reform class, explaining the nature of some struggles, the roots of some problems and the corresponding solutions.

Wang Anshi also accepted the knowledge that Wang Yan instilled in him very well, highly recognized Wang Yan's methods, and decided to stay consistent with Wang Yan.

There is no doubt that this was a historic meeting and conversation. Wang Yan changed Wang Anshi's fate, broadened his horizons, and instilled more advanced ideas in him. The future seemed to have been decided at this moment...

In fact, it was earlier, when Wang Yan appeared in the landlord's manor in Wangjiazhuang one afternoon in the spring of the eighth year of Qingli...

Of course, both of them knew it tacitly, but what they didn't say was Wang Anshi's true mission in coming to Hangzhou.

To put it bluntly, considering Wang Yan's influence in Hangzhou, even when Zhao Zhen came to Hangzhou, he couldn't speak as well as Wang Yan. This is really terrifying. Therefore, Wang Anshi's most fundamental purpose was to transfer Wang Yan, send people over to weaken Wang Yan's influence, and truly inherit Hangzhou after Wang Yan's transformation.

Of course, making money is also important. We must ensure the stability of Hangzhou, ensure that we continue to make money, and ensure that more and more money is made year by year. We must eliminate Wang Yanhua.

After earning a hundred yuan, he is obviously not willing to earn another ten yuan. People have gaps, and so do countries. When a new money bag comes out, no one wants it to disappear again.

But people are quite calm. Isn't Wang Yan awesome? Let him go when the time comes. It's just that no one wants to be the person who ruins Hangzhou. Incompetence is one aspect, being easily killed is another aspect, and affecting the family is the more important aspect...

After that long conversation, they unified their thoughts and confirmed their common pursuit, and Wang Yan and Wang Anshi became close friends. He was very interesting. He spent two months helping Wang Anshi straighten out the affairs of the state and help him secure his position in Hangzhou. He also left his own opinions on the future development of Hangzhou for Wang Anshi's reference.

He did this for two purposes. One was to show Wang Anshi to let him feel his sincerity; the other was to show Zhao Zhen and the ministers of the court to make people understand that he, Wang Yan, was devoted to the public and was absolutely loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.

The trip to Hangzhou is a complete success...

In the spring and summer season, Hangzhou is already getting hotter. What’s even hotter is the reluctance of the officials and people in Qiantang.

No one organized it, and before the city gates were even opened, people were already crowding inside and outside Qiantang County.

After Wang Yan and others had breakfast and packed up, they went out of the gate and saw the officials standing outside, headed by Wang Anshi.

Looking at the familiar officials at all levels and the endless crowds of people in the distance, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Brother Jiefu, why are you doing this?"

"Ziyan misunderstood. It was not forced by me. It was all done voluntarily by the officials and people of Hangzhou. I haven't heard of such things for many years. Ziyan's governance in Hangzhou has immeasurable merit."

Wang Yan smiled and just said, "We haven't done enough."

As soon as everyone gathered, he directly gave the officials his last speech before leaving. It was not very warm, but it still emphasized the principle of being honest and serving the public, enforcing the law for the people, enriching the people, and strengthening the country and the army.

Then, as everyone saw him off, he responded to people's sincere or fake greetings along the way. Hualan, Shulan, Wang Youyin, Wang Dongliang and other servants in the carriage behind him all looked proud. This scene was truly heart-stirring and unforgettable.

In this way, until outside the city gate, a group of wealthy and wealthy families came out. Among them, because Wang Yan wiped out the wealthy and wealthy families, they were penniless before. Now they are riding the wind and are the new powerful representatives of the wealthy families. They are holding a paper umbrella in their hands. Come and pay your respects respectfully.

"Wang Tongpan, since he took office... This is what I, the people of Hangzhou, want. Please Tongpan accept it. We will pray for Tongpan and wish Tongpan a long life..."

Wang Yan took the umbrella solemnly, but ignored the wealthy people in front of him, and walked straight to the people who were surrounding him further back.

"My fellow countrymen, it has been three years since Wang Yan took office... I wish Wang Yan a long life, and Wang Yan hopes that the lives of my fellow countrymen will become better and better year by year. Wang Yan will definitely not slack off, and he will work hard as an official, so that his fellow countrymen can live a long life." Let us live a better life. In the future, there will be people in Hangzhou who are domineering, oppressing good people, and have no way to ask for help. If the villagers can escape with their lives and come to Wang Yan, Wang Yan will never let him go..."

After hearing what Wang Yan said, the people were all buzzing with thanks and saying good things about Wang Yan. They asked Wang Yan to go back to Hangzhou to see this in the future. It was a very touching scene.

But the big businessmen nearby were worried. Wang Yan really didn't give them any face. Of course, they didn't dare to have other ideas. They were really convinced, but they were really scared.

If Wang Yan didn't say this today, they wouldn't dare to go too far even if they bullied others, because they believed that if he stabbed them, Wang Yan would really kill them. Don't forget, Wang Yan still has property in Hangzhou. The medical clinic, the Xiangpin Pavilion, the grain and oil store, the bank, and even a group of people who went deep into the countryside to support the people in raising pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, these were all the things that kept Wang Yan here.

To put it bluntly, from now on, as long as Wang Yan is alive, no one from top to bottom in Hangzhou will dare to take advantage of Wang Yan's business.

Wang Yan carried out a large-scale purge in Hangzhou and replaced the rich and powerful households. However, in the process, he also overtly and covertly replaced the status of the previous rich and powerful households and became the largest opinion representative in Hangzhou. He killed others. He sat on it.

If anyone wants to do something in the future, the first person to be killed is Wang Yan. This is why Zhao Zhen and Zhengshitang sent people to remove Wang Yan.

But obviously, they were all wrong, because they couldn't do it, because Wang Yan's tentacles had penetrated deeply into the vast ocean of Hangzhou people...

Wang Yan, dressed in a green shirt, stood on the bow of the ship, waving to the people who had been lingering on the dock for a long time...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
