Liu Chun's book is not a lot of words, from beginning to end, less than 50,000 words, at the starting point, that is, just at the beginning of the contract. The court is full of talents in the cold window for ten years, and it seems that the speed is extremely fast, not to mention that Liu Chun didn't use any complicated words, and it was completely flat and straightforward.

But it's such a book, which stunned everyone.

Including the old monk Daoyan, they couldn't help but be convinced, and praised again and again.

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu's exposition on the country's prosperity and strength, whipping into the inside, into the wood three points, is really refreshing, the mouth suddenly opened, the old minister thought about the problem for decades, and actually let Lord Liu break the book, and there will be no doubts from now on!"

Dao Yan said, and really bowed to Liu Chun on the spot, "Lord Liu, when I was in Beiping, the old man said that I wanted to ask you for teaching, and now it seems that I want to learn from a teacher!" ”

Liu Chun smiled, "Old Yao is polite, if you think my book is still successful, how about writing a preface for me?" ”

Dao Yan was about to agree, but he heard Zhu Di cough and say, "Let me write this preface...... Maybe my pen power is not enough, Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin...... Would your cabinet be willing to help me draft it? ”

Yang Shiqi was also holding a book in his hand, reading it, listening to Zhu Di's roll call, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, such a profound and huge work, the ministers need to study it carefully to understand." By the way, Yang Pu proposed to let Lord Liu hold a feast and explain knowledge, which the minister thought was very appropriate. ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "It's just right, five days later, I will be in the Guozijian and let Liu Chun go to the altar to speak, and I will also listen carefully." ”

……

Zhu Di made the final decision, and Liu Chun won a good start.

He printed a total of 500 copies, distributed about 300 copies to the ministers, and left 200, and when the dynasty was dispersed, Liu Chun wanted to take it back, but found that it was gone.

"Who? Who took it? Liu Chun glared at the little eunuch and said angrily, "You don't even know how to look at things?" ”

The little eunuch's face was full of bitterness, "Lord Liu, the slaves and maids know to look at it, but the slaves and maids who can take it don't dare to care!" Another little eunuch next to him stretched out three fingers.

"Lord Liu, you have pity on the poor slaves, you really can't stop it."

Liu Chun instantly understood, this damn rabbit cub will take advantage of anything, and he will definitely look good when he turns around!

Liu Chun left with a snort, and at this moment Zhu Gaosui was wandering around the capital with two hundred books.

"A stunning masterpiece, born out of nowhere, young Fu Liu Chun, a painstaking work, only this one, no other semicolon, one thousand two books, no more misses!"

Zhu Gaosui specially drilled into the rich people's place, 200 books, and earned 200,000 taels first, as for the rest, he didn't care.

His entourage is still worried, can it be sold for one thousand taels and one copy?

Zhu Gaosui knocked on the head of his entourage, and scolded with a smile: "It's really stupid, this is what my master wrote, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said that it was good, don't say a thousand taels, even if it is 10,000 taels, it is worth it!"

Don't really say it, there are many people who have the same opinion as Zhu Gaosui, such as Yang Shiqi, after he went down to the court, he didn't eat lunch or dinner, holding a book, he was fascinated, and he read it until the third watch, and then slowly put it down, there were many incisive arguments, and he was able to memorize them.

The reason why Yang Shiqi was able to accept it so quickly was because he taught in Jimingshan School in his early years, and with Liu Chun revising the Emperor's ancestral teachings, he felt that there seemed to be a lot of things that Liu Chun did not say, and the so-called science seemed to be half-scaled and half-clawed, and it was not systematic.

But when this book came out, Yang Shiqi began to understand that the previous ones were just preparations, and this was the key!

Liu Chun's book is actually modeled on the narrative of "The Wealth of Nations", but there are big problems with the Wealth of Nations, such as the most basic question, how to define the "wealth" of the country, whether it is rich, has a high income, and has a good life, it is called rich......

The same can be said for ordinary people, but if it rises to the academic level, it does not make sense.

Originally, the "Wealth of Nations" did not make it clear what the "wealth" of the country was, but Liu Chun made it clear that the country was strong and prosperous, and the wealth of the country was the strength of the country, and it was impossible for the country to be rich if it was not strong, especially in a big country, the rich and the strong were inseparable.

The reason is very simple, because there is no law between countries, and there are no rules to speak of, and the law of the jungle is observed.

Only the strong can have "wealth", otherwise, they will face the snatching of the strong, or "sheep shearing".

The "wealth" of the strong Han and the Tang Dynasty lies in sweeping Liuhe and shocking all directions.

The country is thriving, and in the face of provocations, it will be punished even if it is far away. Therefore, the people of the Han and Tang dynasties lived a stable and prosperous life, and more importantly, they were dignified!

In contrast, the "wealth" of the Two Song Dynasty is only reflected in the creation of wealth, but this wealth has not been transformed into combat power and has not made the country strong, so this "wealth" is illusory and cannot be kept, so there is the shame of the year's coins and the difficulty of Jingkang......

The common people are constantly under the threat of an enemy country, and they are in a state of panic, and such affluence is worthless.

Liu Chun broke the problem from the wealth of the country, if a country wants to be strong, it must have strong national strength...... What is the source of this national strength?

Liu Chun believes that there are two aspects, one is the sum of the power of each people, and the other is the ability to use these forces, that is, the leadership of a country.

At this point, because the nomads grew up on horseback, they were born with superior force, and it was easy to gather powerful cavalry, so they were the henchmen of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

The Han family, on the other hand, was mainly agricultural, and if they wanted to win the war, they had to use all their strength...... This is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pursued great unification.

The strength of the Han and Tang dynasties lies in the fact that the military system can penetrate into the heads of every common people, and most people need to serve, pay taxes, and have sufficient material and manpower to ensure invincibility.

The Wei and Jin families were strong and the emperor was weak, and the manpower and material resources were concentrated in the hands of a few families, so it was difficult to mobilize, and in the face of the Hu people, they could only be defeated again and again.

The two Song Dynasty did not suppress the merger, and the people who lost their acres of land were all returned to the gentry and landlords, so they could only spend a huge amount of money to raise useless soldiers. These soldiers lacked the motivation to defend their land and homeland, and their quality was low and their combat effectiveness was not strong.

At this point, Liu Chun had already found a theoretical basis for Juntian's service, and used practical examples to refute the reasons for the gentry landlords to resist Juntian.

It stands to reason that it can be used as a program for changing the law.

But how could Liu Chun be satisfied with this achievement!

He emphasized that the power is put into every common person, which is the embodiment of national leadership.

What about the people?

If the ability of every citizen can be improved, in the end, it will also show a huge increase in national strength.

What are the ways to empower the people?

Liu Chun gave two things, one is education, and the other is the division of labor!

When talking about this, Liu Chun instantly opened up the topic again.

Because I have been in an agrarian society for a long time, I don't have a clear sense of the division of labor, as if it has been the case since ancient times. But in fact, the model of male cultivation and female weaving became popular after the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, after the collapse of the original well field system, and the plots that once required hundreds of people to cultivate could be borne by one family.

Therefore, it is a very great progress for men to cultivate and weave for women.

On the basis of male ploughing and female weaving, there were farmers and industry and commerce, and there were three religions and nine streams, all the way to the three hundred and sixty lines that the common people often say, which is the result of the division of labor.

Every division of labor will bring about a significant increase in efficiency and wealth.

However, with the refinement of the division of labor, each person can only master a few skills, and it is not enough to maintain a normal livelihood by relying on their own strength.

Therefore, the basis of the division of labor is education, which is technological progress! It is a substantial improvement of efficiency!

It allows a person to produce goods far beyond their needs, and then through commercial exchange, to satisfy their own life and make life richer.

At the end of the book, Liu Chun believes that in order for a country to become rich and strong, it must improve its organizational leadership skills, and it must train its citizens to improve their basic skills. For many industries, if you want to produce more goods and obtain more income, you must strengthen the division of labor, and the more refined the better!

……

The book came to an abrupt end here.

But the thinking it brought was turned upside down...... Liu Chun talked about the gains and losses of the past dynasties, but it did not come down to the mandate of heaven, but emphasized leadership, which is simply a big rebellion!

is especially hateful, he openly teaches people to make money and make money, and what kind of division of labor does he say...... This is very different from the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and kingship, and it is very different from the rest of the people.

All in all, Yoo Chun annoyed a large group of conservative literati, who were furious. But the problem is that their anger is worthless, and most of the courtiers, even if they are not Liu Chun's disciples, are pragmatists.

Liu Chun said, although it is subversive, but the more you think about it, the more you compare the situation of the past dynasties, the more it makes sense.

Yang Pu put down the book, rubbed his sore eyes, thought for a long time, and finally decided to get up and go straight to Liufu, and when he arrived, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Why are there so many people?

Among them, there are high-ranking officials in the ministry, and there are also many officials who have just entered the court, and everyone can't go in all of them, so they can only talk freely outside the palace gate, listen carefully, and the most asked question is how many times have you read it!

Some people answered three times, some people answered five times, and some people simply recited the passages in public, heartily and happily.

Some people even said happily: "If Liu Gong doesn't make a move, it's just that, once he does, it's really shocking to the world!" ”

"Who said no, the servant suddenly realized that the books he had read before were all a mess, how could Liu Gong explain it so clearly and clearly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty wants Liu Gong to give a lecture on the altar, I can't help it, I came to ask for help first, but I didn't expect that there are so many people!"

"It's really too much, it can be seen that the big guys are like-minded! Hahaha! ”

Among this large number of people who wanted to come to the door to ask for advice, naturally Yang Shiqi was also included, he suddenly saw Yang Pu outside the crowd, and couldn't help but come over.

"Lord Yang...... You're here too? ”

Yang Pu's face was slightly red, and he could only nod awkwardly, "Master Yang, I don't know...... How many times have you read it? ”

Yang Shiqi smiled and stretched out two slaps, "Ten times, ten times!" Yang Shiqi felt that there would be no one more than himself, so he asked casually: "Lord Yang, what about you?" ”

Yang Pu was ashamed and said: "I don't know how many times the lower officials have been, but they can just recite it backwards!" ”
