"Qingli New Deal!"

Tong Guan on the side couldn't help but look up at Fan Zheng.

There were indeed two reforms in the Song Dynasty, one was Wang Anshi's new law, and the other was the Qingli New Deal, and the Qingli New Deal was the reform of Fan Zheng's grandfather, Fan Zhongyan.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Qingli New Deal was launched, it was opposed by the Manchu Dynasty, and Fan Zhongyan was also demoted to another place and wrote the eternal famous "Yueyang Tower".

Subsequently, during the Shenzong period, Wang Anshi's reform suddenly emerged and achieved remarkable results after 16 years of implementation. In addition, Zhao Xu took charge and restarted the new law. Even Fan Zheng's reform was based on the new law.

Over time, Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal was no longer mentioned, and no one expected that Fan Zheng would mention it again.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The Qingli New Deal introduced by our ancestors back then could be said to have targeted the root cause of the Song Dynasty and affected the interests of all the officials in the dynasty. This aroused opposition from the dynasty and ended miserably. Later, Wang Xianggong's new law was Having learned the painful lessons from our ancestors’ Qingli New Deal, we chose to start with financial management. In addition, the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty were even more severe. It had only been in operation for sixteen years. Even so, it still received counterattacks from many scholar-bureaucrats, and it was even abolished for a time. "

"Whether it is Fan Xianggong or Wang Xianggong, they are the pillars of the country, dedicated to reform and strengthening the country!" Zhao Xu sighed.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "If you look at it from a medical point of view, Wang Xianggong's new method is like surgery. He used reform and financial management to continuously transfuse blood for the Song Dynasty, and finally made the Song Dynasty strong. Of course, this kind of strength only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Our ancestors’ Qingli New Deal was like internal medicine, which allowed the Song Dynasty to consolidate its roots and cultivate its talents, making it truly prosperous and powerful.”

"The new law is like surgery! Qingli's new policy is like internal medicine!"

Zhao Xu thought carefully and couldn't help but nodded slightly. The main purpose of the new law was to manage finances and solve the redundant expenses of the Song Dynasty. This was very similar to the blood transfusion therapy used by doctors.

It's just that blood transfusion therapy transfers the blood of others, but the new law taxes the poor and the rich alike, which arouses opposition from the government and the public. Fortunately, after Fan Zheng's treatment, it was changed to a tax-sharing system for the rich. This tax can be implemented.

Most of the Qingli New Deal was to rectify the administration of officials, reduce favors, and implement grinding, which indeed was very beneficial to the disadvantages of redundant officials.

Zhao Xu asked: "When the Qingli New Deal came out, everyone in the court opposed it, but Fan Taicheng is not afraid of repeating what happened back then."

Zhao Xu knew very well that the Qingli New Deal had offended all the scholar-bureaucrats and Mokan had offended officials all over the world simply by reducing the amount of favor. He believed that another Qingli New Deal would definitely cause an uproar again.

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "The reason why the Qingli New Deal failed was that, firstly, it offended the interests of the bureaucracy, and secondly, it was impeached by cronies. Now that party strife has become an open matter in the Song Dynasty, many of the Qingli New Deals and new laws have been implemented, and then the Qingli New Deal will be implemented. The resistance to the New Deal has been greatly reduced. Of course, when the Qingli New Deal is implemented again this time, it needs to be like the new law, taking the essence and discarding the dross."

Zhao Xu nodded. As Fan Zheng said, the resistance to the implementation of the Qingli New Deal was greatly reduced. If the Qingli New Deal was further improved, it might be possible for the Song Dynasty to go further.

"Furthermore, despite the reforms in the Song Dynasty, the situation of redundant officials still existed. Officials were too busy, lingered in brothels, and recited poems to officials who did not care about political affairs. The official family had the ambition of unification. These officials who were too busy would be in the future. It will definitely hinder the great cause of the Song Dynasty's unification of the world!"

"I missed the great cause of unifying the world!"

Zhao Xu suddenly rose up. He had been in charge for several years, so he naturally knew how disorganized the officials of the Song Dynasty were. However, the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats co-ruled the world, and the power of the scholar-bureaucrats was extremely huge. The failure of Qingli's New Deal and Wang Anshi's reform was proof. Even Zhao Xu Xu couldn't help but hesitate.

On one side is the great cause of the Song Dynasty to unify the world, and on the other side is the powerful scholar-bureaucrat group.

Tong Guan on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Those scholar-bureaucrats are too greedy. They send caravans to follow the villain to go to sea and earn a lot of money. They are not satisfied with it. They also want to impeach the villain and take the opportunity to seize the power of the Western Ocean. They are really greedy."

Tong Guan's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back, and finally made Zhao Xu make up his mind. After all, the unification of the world was related to the stability of the Zhao family, and this was what Zhao Xu valued most.

"If this matter comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar." Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Fan Zheng analyzed: "It would have definitely aroused collective opposition from the scholar-bureaucrats before. However, now that the three parties of the Song Dynasty are working hard, especially the new law, the new party is in the ascendant and the old party is declining. I am afraid that they have long thought about counterattack, and the Qingli New Deal is The only chance for the old party to stand up, and the fact that the old party elevated my father to the position of leader of the old party, can be said to be a matter of course, and no one will notice."

"Fan Xianggong!"

Zhao Xu was surprised. He did not expect that Fan Zheng would plot against the old party and his father in order to implement the Qingli New Deal.

Indeed, now that the new party is gaining momentum, the old party has no choice but to retreat. He only needs to use some means. In addition, Fan Chunli is the heir to the Qingli New Deal, which will definitely leave the old party with no choice.

"As for my father, it will be up to Wei Chen to persuade him personally. After all, our Fan family has never forgotten our ancestors' ambition for reform." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, let's follow this plan!"

Fan Fuzhong.

"What, implement the Qingli New Deal!"

Hearing Fan Zheng's words, Fan Chunli almost jumped up. He was already an adult when Fan Zhongyan carried out the reform. He had witnessed with his own eyes his father's high-spirited reform and his downfall when he was sent to Dengzhou. His "Yueyang Tower" was majestic, so why not Feeling sorry for oneself.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Yes, has father forgotten the ancestor's ambition to reform?"

Fan Chunli shook his head and said: "Of course not, but now the Song Dynasty has successfully reformed!"

In Fan Chunli's view, the Song Dynasty had already succeeded in its reforms, but the Qingli New Deal had failed, so there was really no need to risk the implementation of the Qingli New Deal.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "The reforms of the Song Dynasty did have some achievements, but did the disadvantages of our ancestor Qingli's New Deal be solved after mentioning it?"

Fan Chunli said sadly: "Of course not."

As the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, he naturally understood that the current Song Dynasty was only covered up by the wealth of the Song Dynasty, and the real problems had not been solved.

Fan Zheng stared at his father and said unceremoniously: "My father understood and analyzed the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty so clearly. Why didn't he say it bluntly in the court? Could it be that my father has lost the style of his ancestors!"

Fan Chunli was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but recall the teachings of his father Fan Zhongyan, and burst into tears.

"You're such a traitor, why are you talking to your father?" The argument between father and son naturally alarmed Ma and Li Qingzhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Fan Chunli waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Fan Zheng is right, it was me who embarrassed my father!"

Fan Zheng said proudly: "When our ancestors' Qingli New Deal failed, we and our descendants should inherit the legacy of our ancestors and restart the Qingli New Deal. This is the responsibility of the descendants of my Fan family, not to mention that after the failure of the new law, we are now back in the court, and Why can’t our ancestors’ Qingli New Deal achieve Nirvana and be reborn?”

"The Qingli New Deal is reborn from nirvana!"

Fan Chunli couldn't help but feel excited. Although the Fan family was a family of scholar-bureaucrats, others could oppose the Qingli New Deal, and the Fan family must fully support the Qingli New Deal and even bring it back to the court in order to avenge his father's failure.
