《宋神宗与王安石（上下）》【内容简介】

　　王安石变法是北宋神宗时期的重大改革，它是成功还是失败？是利民还是害民？抑或导致了北宋的灭亡？引发的争议至今不断。

　　1067年，20岁的宋神宗赵顼接手了一个危机四伏的帝国：内因三冗问题而财政困顿，外有辽国、西夏等势力虎视眈眈。该如何处理危机？司马光、张方平等保守派主张循旧路，节流到底。唯王安石，从开源的角度提出“民不加赋而国用饶”的理财大纲，深深吸引了天子。在神宗的支持下，王安石围绕富国、利民、强兵，逐一推出变法举措，涉及政治、经济、军事、教育、民生等诸多领域，尤以青苗法、免役法、市易法最具颠覆性，体现了近代才出现的国家经营思想。书中对这些变法举措的出台、推行、争议作了细致的描述和分析。

　　但变法损害权贵利益，挑战传统观念，引发满朝攻讦。书中细腻还原了保守派与变法派间火药味十足的攻防战，生动展现了北宋治国精英的群体面貌——既有宋神宗、王安石的积极进取，也有司马光、文彦博等人的保守乃至迂腐。

　　本书摒弃过往以全知视角点评历史的做法，力图带领读者回到现场，跟随主角们一起经历那段跌宕起伏的不凡过往。

　　Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi (Upper and Lower)

Wang Anshi's Reform was an important reform in the period of Shenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty. Was it a success or failure? Is it good or bad for the people? Or did it lead to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty? The controversy continues to this day.

In 1067, the 20-year old Emperor Zhao Xu inherited an empire beset by financial difficulties due to the three major problems, and the Liao, Western Xia and other forces were looking at it. How should the crisis be handled? Conservatives such as Sima Guang and Zhang Fangping advocate following the old path and cutting back to the end. Only Wang Anshi, from the perspective of open source, put forward the financial outline of "people do not add fu and the country uses Rao", which deeply attracted the son of Heaven. With the support of Emperor Shenzong, Wang Anshi introduced reform measures one by one, involving politics, economy, military, education, people's livelihood and many other fields, especially the Green seedling Law, exemption law, and city change Law, which were the most subversive, reflecting the national management thought that emerged only in modern times. In the book, the introduction, implementation and controversy of these reform measures are described and analyzed in detail.

But the reform undermined the interests of the powerful, challenged traditional ideas, and led to criticism throughout the dynasty. In the book, the delicate restoration of the conservative and the reform of the full of the war of aggression and defense, vividly shows the Northern Song Dynasty elite group - both Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi aggressive, but also Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other people conservative and even pedantic.

This book abandons the omniscient view of history in the past and attempts to bring the reader back to the scene and follow the protagonists through the extraordinary ups and downs of the past.
