But they all turned a blind eye to the immediate benefits after the implementation of the Baojia Law. That is the public security situation in the Song Dynasty: there were major rebellions and minor rebellions every year. Since the Baojia Law was established, the control gap caused by the imperial guards being too far away and the slack of wing soldiers was immediately filled. In the end, no rebellion occurred in the Shenzong period!

On the 11th, Wang Anshi and Han Jiang were officially promoted to the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Wang Gui was appointed as the chief political affairs officer.

On the 14th, Xixia invaded the Rong army in Jingyuan Road, the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Pu, inspector of Sanchuan Village, defeated him with an ambush.

On the Japanese, based on the revision of the law of the garrison last month, Prime Minister Wang Anshi introduced the fifth new law. This new law can be said to have reached an equally important position with the Qingmiao Law - the Immunity Law (or the Recruitment Law) was issued! To understand this law, you must first understand what laws the Song Dynasty has been using before? That is the "Service Law"

As the name suggests, "Disa" means being a job. The Song Dynasty divided all citizens into 9 grades according to their family property. Here we don't mention how much family property will change at any time, such as the family burning up or suddenly making a big profit in the business and selling. I just say what these nine grades of families have to do for the country:

The Ninth Class and the Last Five Class are blessed, and they basically have nothing to do with this matter. The families of the top four Class are miserable. They have to contribute to the country. Who makes you rich? The reason for being rich is that you are smart and capable. The country needs talents like you. So what are you bad? It’s simple to say. Generally speaking, the word “Yanqian” is very vivid and clear, which is to do odd jobs in front of state yamen at all levels. Specifically, such as the state collects taxes, various materials collected, grain, rice, silk, and so on. Note that it is not money. Although the Song Dynasty’s currency is unprecedentedly developed compared to previous dynasties, it is not enough to convert materials to collect taxes (except for modern society, no dynasty can do this).

These materials are piled up in the yamen, so how can there be so many civil servants in the country? The fourth-class households in each urban and rural area come out to guard them. And if you are optimistic, you won’t pay, and you will have to compensate if you lose them!

This is a guard, and you have to transport it after you have collected it. Dear comrades in the yamen, you have to carry these supplies, carry boats, drive donkeys, and deliver things to the emperor in the capital. The distance of the delivery depends on your luck. If you are reborn north of the Yangtze River, you may be back in just a month. Unfortunately, you are from Jiangnan, from Lingnan or from Sichuan. Think about how far you go back and forth, how much hard it is... And the general principle is: if you have no rewards, you will have to pay if you lose your luck...

More than a year ago, in 1069, when Song Shenzong accidentally looked through the memorials in the warehouse, he discovered something like this: When he arrived in the yamen in Beijing from another place, his mission was to "pay 7 cents of gold" and not even get a 1 tael of silver, but this guy was unable to hand over the work for a year. The reason was that he got the task at his local yamen and sent it without any resistance, but was fooled by the yamen in this yamen - all kinds of extortion and various clever names made this brother dizzy and did not accept it until the travel expenses were gone. He didn't dare to escape, so he was careful that his whole family would be punished if he escaped!

Think about it, can you still live like this? As soon as the yamen front task arrives, I have to be busy day and night from now on, and I have no chance to touch the computer at all. How do you ask me to finish writing this book? How do you make money? How can I support my family?

Up to this point, the problem has not intensified. In theory, the four levels of families share these tasks. There are many people and the forces are great, and the disasters are evenly distributed, and the problems are smaller, but reality is always out of touch with the theory. Because in the Song Dynasty, wealthy families, families who passed the imperial examination, monks, female households (no male households), single households, etc., all have immunity. Except for these people, the rest are basically the third and fourth-class households.

Such many tasks and such intensive winning laws can only cause one result - bankruptcy! A bankruptcy at the level of family and people! And this is secondary, and what makes people even more outrageous is their social phenomenon after bankruptcy: no one dares to get rich...

Unless you can show your power, jump from the lower fifth-class household and be promoted to the first and second-class household, as long as you work harder, you will earn a cow, a few pigs, a few mulberry trees, etc., neighbors and officials will immediately congratulate you - you are a rich man, at least at level 3 or 4, haha! You will be so worried about this year's yamen...

In the past 111 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, ordinary people have lived like this...

Do you feel very desperate? No! This is just one of many servants. Others include "titles" such as "limits", "house chiefs, and village clerks" to help you go to the countryside to collect taxes. There are "positions" such as elders, archers, and tyrants to be responsible for catching thieves. There are "seniors, manpower, hand power, and sancong" to serve officials of the official brand. Others include "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors," "seniors" and other "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors" "seniors"

If this continues, is this still a life for human beings? So the law of service is to be abolished!

As modern people, we certainly know that the best way to replace the law of service is post office and postal service, but ancient post stations were monopolized by the ruling class, transporting the items they wanted to transport, such as the lychees that Yang Guifei wanted to eat. On the premise that the official post station could not be used, Wang Anshi's new law group had no choice but to come up with the "free service law"

Simply put, the general principle of the exemption law is to "pay money and exemption from labor" to allow the people who had to work in the past to buy back their own free self by paying money that matches their own ranks, and to do what they want to do. The country uses this money to recruit people who want to work in the service.

Is this a good method? It has formed a cycle - by paying a certain amount of money, the people have obtained spare time that they had never imagined before, and used this time to make money and support their families. The country gets money and recruits people to work as jobs, which can expand the number of employment and reduce idle people in society. Not only can the country operate normally, but also eliminate various crises in the bud...

In addition, Wang Anshi's "Exemption Law" has two major features: 1 He has added the top-class households. If you are rich and powerful, Jinshi, you will never be superior to others from now on! Want to be free? Take money—

The lower fifth-class households, single-class households, female households, monks, Taoists, official households, and houses that had not been burdened in the past also had to pay money. It was just that the tax paid for families of the same level was reduced by half according to the amount of their family property. This is called "service money"

In addition to these two characteristics, there is another most controversial rule: the annual exemption of service, the assistance of service and the taxes in summer and autumn are paid together, and the additional charge of 0% is also required to prevent flood, drought, famine and sudden wars. This is called "free and surplus money"

These two characteristics make Wang Anshi instantly become the mortal enemy of all the privileged groups. Especially in the past, no matter who actually takes the job, they can take a breath the next year, and they can rotate and be replaced by others. This time, it's great! It's endless twice a year, which really makes them unable to adapt...

Not to mention the high-ranking sects who had always enjoyed their own freedom and freedom no matter what the country was in the past. This completely shattered their dreams, and more importantly, Wang Anshi hurt their "dignity"

We are born to be unique, why do we make people who are the same as us treat them the same way as us! We just have to be free from justice!

What’s fun is that the first person to propose the law of exemption and became a classic opposition to the opposition were the two Sichuan people who had just entered the privileged class - Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers.

Let’s see what they said. First, look at Xiao Su, "If you serve people, you must use villagers, but if you are officials, you must use scholars." According to his words, it seems that people are born with racial pros and cons. Unfortunately, he lived in the Song Dynasty, not before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, no matter how personal abilities are, everything was based on origin. You are a master of the Marquis, so you were born as an official. If you want to say what you study and study, fish jump to the dragon gate? You are just dreaming in the daytime! But when you think back, what kind of life will Su Che be born before the Sui and Tang Dynasties be like?

Let’s look at Dasu again. The most talented man speaks with both voice and emotion. Since ancient times, people must use villagers, just as they must use grains for meals, silk for clothes, boats for crossing rivers, and cattle for horses for walking. Even if they are replaced temporarily, they will not last long and will return to the most correct way. We literati class leave relatives and friends, bid farewell to the ancestral graves, and go to work as officials everywhere. This is a common human nature, and it has been the same since ancient times. How can we be happy if we don’t use villagers for work? Then we must get the chef Xiao Ran, who is full of sight, messy and chaotic, just like the inferior customs of other inferior countries, not the peaceful and grand occasion of our central and luxurious countries...

It makes people want to ask his brothers: How many years have you been lifted out of poverty and become rich, and you have forgotten your roots after you turn to non-agricultural economy? The face of a villain who was proud of you for a moment!

Forgive the Su Shi brothers! Because they were just two little kids at this time, they had little understanding of what the scholar-official clan was, and they knew very little about the suffering lives of the people below. The most important thing is that they had not suffered any hardships.

More than ten years later, Shenzong died, and they were also displaced. Su Shi himself was even beaten up in prison and howled with his official tune with a strong Sichuan accent. Only then would they understand what it feels like to be a knife and a fish. And what Su Shi said at that time was completely opposite to that time. Because he was called Su Dongpo at that time...

Now put aside these two scholars and officials who were short of weight and lacked quality, and go and see what the genuine and senior figure said? The only remaining Qingli minister in the capital finally came to the front stage - Wen Yanbo.

Perhaps the official trend of Xianggong Han, who was even more tough and dictatorial than him, taught him a lesson. Even though he was extremely strong for a while, time was short... As a result, Wen Yanbo became gentle.

Wen Yanbo talked very warmly and homely. With the image of an old man who was nearly 70 years old, he persuaded the emperor to "the ancestors have laws and regulations, improve them, change them without authorization, and be careful to lose the hearts of the people."

Shenzong was very alert and instantly grasped the point and asked him and Wang Anshi's always indignant questions. "Changing the legal system did make the scholar-official class unhappy, but what is inconvenient for the people?" At this time, Shenzong of Song thought that he had hit the key points of the opposition, and what was waiting for him was victory! The court was full of Confucius and Mencius, so do you understand the saying "The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least"? In the face of the people and the country, I have to retreat to the third line. What are you literati?

However, what was really surprised was Song Shenzong himself. After hearing the emperor's words, Wen Yanbo was not as speechless as he thought, and even felt ashamed to be a new person. Wen Yanbo felt extremely depressed: You are the emperor! How could he say such naive words? It seems that the education was really bad in the early stage. The free-range people in the royal palace were different from the wise kings like Zhenzong and Renzong who had been trained in the royal family since childhood...

Wen Yanbo finally said the true meaning of the officialdom. "Your Majesty, you have to be clear: you are governing the world with the scholars and officials, not managing the country with the common people."

It is true that this is the unchanging essence of the ruling class for thousands of years!

After hearing this sentence, Emperor Shenzong was silent. This is completely opposite to the theories that Wang Anshi had always told him to manage the country, such as wealth and weakness! Which one is right?

Over the past thousands of years, countless people in the four dynasties of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties disliked Wang Anshi and criticized the Xining reform. I agree: they have reason to scold this because they are scholars and officials!
