Wang Anshi, Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty

This book mainly aims to showcase Wang Anshi, a thousand-year-old thinker and reformer who is colorful and full of human brilliance. This book begins with Wang Anshi's appointment as the general magistrate of Shuzhou. He served as a local magistrate for sixteen or seven years with outstanding political achievements. Later, he was promoted to participate in the political reform of the country. Adhering to the reform, more than ten reform laws were promulgated successively, which greatly promoted the industrial and agricultural production at that time, and also increased the country's fiscal revenue. Within a few years, the Song Dynasty became a "rich country" that people from all over the world visited for pilgrimage. Militaryly, the Battle of Hehuang was a great victory, the Xihe Road was established, and the prestige of the Song Dynasty was revitalized. The goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army was initially achieved. Yuanfeng restructured, Shenzong returned to the reform faction and continued the reform, ending. The fearless reform spirit embodied in Wang Anshi's reform is consistent with the current deepening of economic system reform and is in line with the country's theme of adhering to reform and opening up. Therefore, it is necessary to mention Wang Anshi again, a very controversial figure. From the perspective of historical evolution, Wang Anshi's reforms have great progressive significance. The views he proposed (Qingmiao Law, Market Change Law) are still used today, and low-interest loans (the inner spirit of Qingmiao Law). Many of Wang Anshi's ideas far exceeded the era he lived in (Northern Song Dynasty). Although they were not understood by people at the time, various areas of today's life (finance, economics, tax law, etc.) Are mostly affected by it. Wang Anshi's reform ideas are still shining brightly today.
