Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 315: Change of Thought

Since speaking for Wang Anshi can win the favor of the reformists, wouldn't it be conversely possible to win the favor of the conservatives?

In fact, the so-called reformists and conservatives are just collective terms, not real factions.

Even when Prime Minister Fan presided over the reform, those who supported the reform were not monolithic.

The conservatives are officials who oppose reform. Because of their common interests, they have the same attitude in opposing reform.

The rest of the time, they fight for their own interests.

This is why King Yong has never thought of winning people's hearts through this method before.

Because the reformists are now in a weak position, when the officials appointed Han Zhang as Grand Prime Minister, the conservatives were indeed nervous for a long time.

However, Grand Prime Minister Han did not propose reforms after taking office, and the officials seemed to have no intention of doing so, which completely reassured the conservatives.

If he tried to suppress the reformists at that time, not only would he not be able to win over people's hearts, but he would also offend the reformists.

Although the reformists are weak, they cannot be underestimated.

The people in Jianyuan are indeed, as King Yong said, difficult to win over.

King Yong laughed when he heard this. Others said that he was mediocre and that King Yan was strong. He naturally knew this, and King Yong was naturally not convinced by this.

When King Yong saw Zhao Tong coming in, he smiled and said: "Tong'er, you came just in time. My father just thought of a good idea. Once it is completed, King Yan will not be a threat to us."

The situation is different now. Regardless of whether Wang Anshi's behavior in Yuzhou was secretly indicated by the reformists or not, when Wang Anshi was criticized, the reformists had to stand up to protect him.

Zhao Tongtong was stunned and said in surprise: "I wonder what your father's good idea is?"

Once Liu Xuewen can be won over, he may be able to win over more officials from the Admonition Yuan with the help of Liu Xuewen.

For officials, whoever becomes the emperor is actually the same to them. It depends on who is more in their interests.

"The Qiu family sent news that Li An has paid back the money he owed. As long as my father's plan is successful, there is no need to win over Liu Xuewen." Zhao Tong said with a smile.

Zhao Tong smiled slightly when he heard this and did not refute.

He did win over Li An because of Liu Xuewen.

Thinking of this, King Yong didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhou Zhiqing, so he sent him away with a few words of comfort.

King Yong smiled and stated his thoughts. After hearing this, Zhao Tong pondered for a while and said happily: "My father's plan is very clever. Now is a good time."

Liu Xuewen entered the Admonition Court not long ago, and his official position is not high, so there is still the possibility of wooing him.

Once he stands up and expresses his attitude at this time, he will definitely win the favor of the conservatives.

The officials also had an ambiguous attitude towards this, making the conservatives alert again.

Now that his idea was praised by his son, King Yong was very proud.

After sending Zhou Zhiqing away, King Yong sent someone to summon his confidants to discuss his thoughts, but Zhao Tong walked in.

King Yong curled his lips when he heard this and said: "I told you before I became a father that there is no need to worry about a scholar. After all, he is just Liu Xuewen's student. The people in Jianyuan are all stones from the pit, smelly and hard, even if they win over It is impossible for his student Liu Xuewen to join us because of his persuasion."

"Haha~"

"That's what father said."

King Yong was afraid that King Yan would react and seize the opportunity.

The Remonstrance Court does not seem to have any real power, but the fact that it is heard and reported is very useful.

If nothing else, just impeaching those officials who had taken refuge in King Yan would damage King Yan's prestige.

However, King Yong's strategy is indeed feasible. Once successful, there is really no need to win over the people of Jianyuan.

……

"Zi Qian, you used to chat with the three of us. Aren't you deeply disgusted with the current shortcomings of the Song Dynasty? Why didn't you say anything in class before?"

When school was over at noon, Li An and the other two walked out together, and Gu Tingye asked with an unhappy look on his face.

Back in Yangzhou, he, Sheng Changbai and Li An were able to become friends because the three of them chatted and had similar ideas.

However, Li An did not speak out to argue in class. In Gu Tingye's view, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.

"Zhong Huai, the Song Dynasty has had long-standing shortcomings. Even if it wants to reform, it needs to be implemented slowly. Wang Tongpan's methods in Yuzhou are too strong. Such resistance is too great and it is difficult to succeed." Li An said.

"joke!"

Gu Tingye heard this but disagreed, and sneered and said: "Reforms are inherently full of resistance. We must use iron and blood to implement the New Deal as quickly as Shang Jun did. Only in this way can we succeed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the difficulties and resistance will be. How to figure it out slowly?”

Li An was a little speechless. Can this be compared with Shang Yang's reform?

The success of the negotiated reform was not only due to Qin Xiaogong's support, but also because of his reforms, which benefited the people and the military.

Before Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State implemented the well-field system.

The so-called well field system divides the land into a well shape, with the middle opening being public and the rest private.

Those who own land need to plant public land first, and then private land.

To put it simply, the public land in the middle is equivalent to a tax.

However, those who could own fields at that time were nobles, and ordinary people did not have fields.

One of Shang Yang's reforms was to abolish the well-field system and distribute land to the people.

Another is the implementation of the twenty-level knighthood system. Before this, the knighthood was hereditary, and it was difficult for ordinary people to hold the title.

After the implementation of the twenty-level knighthood system, soldiers can obtain knighthoods by killing enemies. The higher the title they kill, the higher their title will be.

At that time, the old aristocratic ministers were not very powerful and could not influence the royal power.

Coupled with the twenty-level nobility system, a powerful military meritorious group was cultivated. The land-sharing system gained public support again.

You must know that at that time, various countries were competing for hegemony, and the military's influence was already great.

With the support of the people and the support of the army, it will naturally succeed.

But what about now?

Governing from the top of the arch, and co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, it is destined that civil servants can control the imperial power when they join forces.

The civil servants were powerful and had no checks and balances.

When their interests are harmed, reforms are empty talk.

Li An was silent for a while and then said: "Zhonghuai, Mr. Fan got official support to implement the New Deal, but it failed in just two years. Have you ever thought about the reasons?"

"But some things have to be done by people. Ziqian, I like your four words of warning very much, but I like the poem by Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty even more. Who was missing in the history of the ancient times, but today we see the fame and fame of the ancients. Have you forgotten that we were in Yangzhou made an agreement to become officials together and work hard to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture? If there is no reform, the recovery of the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture will be nothing more than empty talk." Gu Tingye said solemnly.

Li An was a little silent when he heard this. When he said that, he was actually more in line with what the two of them said.

After all, both of them are arrogant people. If they don't share the same goals, how can they become friends with them.

But what Gu Tingye said just now touched him greatly and made his blood boil with excitement.

After time travel, Li An chose to study, intending to obtain fame.

However, Ang Lee did not have any big ambitions, and he only wanted to obtain fame to live a better life in this era.

After all, Li An was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

It is impossible that because of time travel, one's ideological consciousness suddenly becomes higher and one begins to worry about the country and the people.

But Gu Tingye's words touched him greatly.

Li An was silent for a long time and gritted his teeth. After all, he was a time traveler. Since he came to this era for a trip, he couldn't live his whole life with his wife and children on the bed.
