"Sure enough, the novels are all lie..."

"Otherwise, I have been in this world for three years, how could I achieve nothing?"

The sigh sounded in Qingfeng Temple at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in late April of the seventh year of Xining, the Northern Song Dynasty.

The person who sighed was Lin Dong.

He is a time traveler.

But unfortunately, his luck was a bit bad. The biggest difference from other time travelers is that after traveling through time, he did not directly be in the Bianliang City, which was the whirlpool of the world.

Therefore, he could not know Song Shenzong, Ao Xianggong, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others like other time travelers.

At the same time, this also led to his inability to establish a relationship with Song Zhezong who was not born smoothly like in the novel.

Now he can only walk on the original path step by step.

In the Song Dynasty, for time travelers like Lin Dong, there were three fastest ways to make a comeback.

The first one is naturally that after rebellion, he was granted an imperial decree, and then he could obtain a large and small official position.

From then on, you can go deep into the officialdom step by step, or choose to join forces, or develop your own power.

In the future, you can use thousands of years of historical knowledge to achieve the goal of rising to the top and slowly changing history.

To make a very quick move, this is definitely a very attractive path.

Unfortunately, Lin Dong does not have this qualification for the time being.

If you want to rebel, at least someone has to choose to follow him.

The people at Shaoshi Mountain did not live a good life, but they could not rebel with him, the Taoist priest, in a mad manner.

So, he could only think of other ways.

The second method is naturally to study honestly.

As long as you study the writing style of this era, and then find a way to recall some of the top scholars in your previous life, you may be able to catch the eyes of the big guys.

Unfortunately, this path still does not exist for him.

Lin Dong has attended college and also heard historical stories.

But this does not mean that he can compare with those who have worked hard for years, decades, or even decades.

He has studied the imperial examination for so long that he can't even write well. How can he compare?

so.

In the final analysis, there was only one road left in front of Lin Dong.

Be a good Taoist priest, and be a famous Taoist priest, gradually spread out his name, make some inventions and creations, and attract the attention of the big guys as much as possible.

Finally, the emperor will come.

After all, whether it is the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, being close to Taoism is politically correct.

As a famous Taoist priest, the emperor may really come to the door.

However, this is to pin your own destiny on others, not Lin Dong's style.

Therefore, while studying Taoist scriptures and becoming a good Taoist priest, he was also constantly studying medical skills to save the people and become famous.

In this way, even if the Taoist priest did not act well in the end, in a few years, he would probably gather a large number of people to rebel.

At that time, he could move onto the first path smoothly, rebel and accept imperial edicts, and obtain an official position of no big or small.

Of course, now he can actually rebel directly.

But in that case, even if he successfully pulled up the banner of rebellion, he would have to be able to tie up a team of about a few hundred people in the end.

Compared with those seniors who rebelled and were criticized for being rebelled in the whole state, they were still far behind.

...

"Don't worry, anyway, the officials of the Song Dynasty have turned the reform into a source of greed and corruption, and the people will eventually be unable to bear it."

In the Qingfeng Temple.

Lin Dong raised his head, looked at the cold moonlight, and imagined the future with a smile.

"The husband of the absolute husband is a good husband. The reform strategies he has developed are not afraid to say that he can enrich the people and strengthen the country, or at least he can enrich the country and strengthen the army. It is just implemented in detail..."

When he thought of this, the smile on Lin Dong's face suddenly widened.

The reform failed.

Or, it is destined to fail.

You should know that even in later generations with strict supervision, there are still a few scums, let alone such a feudal era with inconvenient transportation.

The most important thing is that, relatively speaking, although there were scum in later generations, they generally caused little harm to the people.

But this era is completely different.

For political achievements, for the sake of interests, and for the sake of yellow and white gold and silver, some officials are changing their legal strategies, abandoning all good things, and then exchanging them with their own private goods to strengthen themselves.

For example.

If Lin Dong is an official at this time and becomes an absolutely unbearable corrupt official, he will have at least a thousand ways to make money and make profits, and can also achieve excellent political achievements.

For example, taking the Qingmiao Law as an example, if Lin Dong wants to make money, he can turn the interest lent to the people to overcome difficulties into 50%, and by the way, he justified the land in a certain place into official land in two or three years.

Is this a political achievement?

Absolutely!

If the person above sees it, he will probably be amazed, and then he will have a smooth journey.

Is the Qingmiao method good?

Of course it's good.

The Qingmiao Law stipulates that if people encounter disasters in the year of disasters or cannot survive the disasters at home, they do not have to borrow money and grain with extremely high interest rates such as big landlords and merchants.

They can borrow directly from the government, and the interest rate is only 20%.

The government will not let the people get through it. Even if they can't pay it back in the first and second year, they can still let the people continue to delay time and wait until they have money before paying it back.

Will the people be happy?

Can big landlords, big merchants, and gentry be unable to annex the land?

This is almost 100%...

Of course, this is almost 100% taken for granted.

Wang Anshi, the aggressor, probably did not expect that some officials would directly give interest of 30 to 40% or even 50 to 60% for political achievements.

This kind of interest is much higher than that of the public.

The key is that it is not possible to repay if you don’t borrow it. The reform stipulates that you must borrow it.

This will bring disaster to the people.

Some people say, hasn't anyone checked these officials?

This question can be answered with complete certainty: Yes!

The reason is also very simple.

The officials above will cover up the past because these are real taxes and can kill the aggression, so why not do it?

Of course, some people will also say, isn’t there a group of new parties in the affair?

Yes, yes, the new party does have it, but let's take a look at the list...

The most important supporters and assistants of the agile husband: Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Lu Jiawen, Cai Jing, Li Ding, Deng Wan, Xue Xiang.

There is no need to say anything else.

Only Cai Jing.

It's enough to make people jaw-drop.

Perhaps no one would have thought that there would be a historical figure like Cai Jing in Wang Anshi's team...a celebrity, right?

By the way, Cai Jing is still very low-key now and doesn’t dare to be too brave when making money. The one who has the most courage is the others.

How terrible is it for someone who is not even as good as Cai Jing?

In fact, the actual situation is even more terrifying than this, because the lineup opposite Wang Anshi is really a bit... terrifying.

A brief list of conservatives is as follows:

Sima Guang, Han Wei, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Fan Zhen, Su Shi, Su Zhe...etc!

With such a lineup, a few of them changed to form an alliance with the aggressor, it would probably be a crushing situation.

In other words, Wang Anshi's personal ethics is undisputed. Otherwise, he would have failed for many years, so how could he withstand such a long time?

Another thing!

The most important thing is that even the emperor began to gradually compromise with the conservatives...
To be continued...
