Chapter 38: How to Divide the Weight with the King (20)
[It's easy to write, so I'll write more, but it's also delayed time, and I hope you'll forgive me.] At the same time, I continue to ask for a monthly pass, and I am about to make this month two changes a day. 】
"The barbarians live in barren land, all of which are barren land. Does the Privy Intend to take it by force with the nation's army? Lu Dalin asked with a sneer.
The meaning of Han Gang's words is too obvious for anyone to understand. What kind of distinction between Huayi and human and poultry is to make excuses for him to attack other countries.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The four wildernesses and eight extremes are also the king's land, and the barbarians are both kings. It is the duty of the Son of Heaven to restore the beast to man. ”
If more than ten years ago, with a little pluck with such words, Zhao Ji might immediately be enthusiastic, draw his sword and roar, and relax his chest. But now, the emperor who was sitting on the imperial couch didn't even blink his eyelids.
Han Gang was not surprised, this one was not easy to fool for a long time, let alone a paralyzed person, what kind of ambition could he have, and continued, "Is Jiaozhou a wild place?" Last year, there were 400,000 guan stone in taxes alone, and the grain shipped out of Jiaozhou was nearly one million stone. Coupled with the production of the two roads in Guangnan, the stability of grain prices in Jiangnan was ensured. If it was before Yuanfeng, once the grain was lucky, the price of grain would rise by one or two percent in a bumper year. ”
"Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish. It is necessary to know that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the major affairs of the country must not be careless. "If you want to find an argument, you don't know how many history books there are, and Lu Dalin immediately refuted it, "The Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, and the accumulation of Wenjing was exhausted." Attacking the Moon Clan, the world's household registration is halved. The Han soldiers can be the five soldiers, and the same is true for the strength of the Han Dynasty, what about the Great Song Dynasty today? He pointed to the outside of the hall gate and asked Han Gang, "The forbidden army outside the hall may be one against five?!" ”
"The grasslands in the north can be pastured but not cultivated, and the Han people are useless. With the strength of the whole country, the useless land was obtained, and the Han Wu could not shirk the blame. However, the southern country is weak and the people are outnumbered, and it is easy to attack. If you talk about the Western Regions, now you also open the Western Regions. Wang Sunchen has recently occupied Gaochang, and there are hundreds of horses transported to Beijing by the Great Eclipse Heavenly Horses, has the household registration been reduced by much? ”
Speaking with numbers is what Han Gang is best at. It is more convincing to speak than to speak with the words in the commentaries on the scriptures.
What's more, the Great Song Dynasty has just defeated the Liao State recently, and both the government and the opposition are in high spirits. Han Gang's words will definitely be supported by most people. The Song people were not warlike, they were anti-war in the past, because they were always defeated, and after losing in a row, of course, they were war-weary. Now, with successive victories and no impact on life in Beijing, how many people will be war-weary?
"If you don't speak right, you don't have a good name. Overseas in the south, all of them are the Great Song Dynasty vassal states, which have paid tribute for many years, and they are extremely obedient. Can you be famous? What's more, the world has been suffering for a long time, and since Yuan Hao's rebellion, there has not been a year without fighting for more than 30 years. Now that we are fortunate to be at peace in all directions, it is the time to recuperate and let the people enjoy peace in peace. If the privy wants to raise a nameless soldier, won't he laugh at the northern captives? ”
'On the side of the couch, let others snore. Lu Dalin waited for Han Gang to say this. Emperor Taizu, the jade axe demarcated, and gave Dali all the outside of the Dadu River. The farther countries of the South China Sea, where can they be considered a couch? Otherwise, if you take Liao's attack on Goryeo as an example, such a self-comparison of barbarian beasts is even more said. A small trap, waiting for Han Gang to jump off by himself.
However, Han Gang did not choose those two statements: "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. Kaiyuan and Tianbao can also be described as peaceful, but the source of Anshi's disaster has long been lurking in it. Although it is peaceful now, the source of the chaos has long taken root. ”
Lu Dalin didn't expect Han Gang to be even more confused, his spirit was shocked, and he said loudly: "The source of the Anshi Rebellion is the great joy of Emperor Ming!" Soldiers have been used for many years, leaving the soldiers outside, and they don't know the truth of guarding the outside world! If An Lushan does not have three points of military power in the world, how can he dare to rebel?! ”
Han Gang ignored Lu Dalin, turned to face Zhao Ji, and owed a debt, "The minister did the western seat yesterday and had three questions. One of them is about gambling, I don't know if His Majesty and His Royal Highness have heard of it. ”
Zhao Ji didn't react, and said to the queen behind the screen: "I heard about it, and I also ordered someone to forget it." The question from the privy council is good. ”
Han Gang nodded, he added a highness in front of him, just because he was afraid that Zhao Ji would not agree, "The minister once gambled chess with others, and if the minister lost, he would pay for it with a hundred times." If the minister is lucky to win, as long as the other party loses some wheat, it will be fine. One grain of wheat is placed in the first square, two grains in the second square, four grains in the third square, and then doubled until after the sixty-fourth block. Han Gang turned his head to look at Lu Dalin, "How much will you have to pay after the revision?" ”
Not everyone knows the question that Han Gang gave to Zhao Gang yesterday, and not everyone knows it, and not everyone has counted it. But Lu Dalin knew the truth, and after that, he already understood what Han Gang wanted to say. Pursed his lips and did not open his mouth.
"1,844 trillion and 670 billion grains, a contract of 3 trillion stones...... It is enough for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to eat for five or six thousand years. Han Gang smiled, "Of course, this is just a game, and I didn't make a bet at the end." But in terms of counting, it is very meaningful. Any number greater than one, even if it is smaller than two, as long as it is multiplied by each other, not dozens of times, it will become a jaw-dropping number. ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "There are more than 16 million households in the world, and more than 33 million households in Dingkou. As for the elderly, weak, women and children, the population must have exceeded 100 million. That is, in the case of the clan. The three Taizu Taizong brothers, since the founding of the country, there are only two Jiazi, more than 120 years, how many clans have been named in the jade? The specific number of ministers does not know, but the clan lives, first there are the south house, the north house, and the west house, and then the two houses of the good relatives and the wide relatives, and there are the north houses of the good relatives, and the north houses of the wide relatives, in addition, the Shangqing Palace and the Fang Lin Yuan have also placed the clan. ”
These are not just a mansion, but a square, just like the communities of later generations. How many families live together. Han Gang has the number of clans in his hands, but he is more desperate, sometimes, it is better to be a little more restrained. It is enough to use the house as evidence.
"This is still not counting the clans in Nanjing, Xijing and Beijing." Han Gang paused for a moment and added.
"The privy councillor does not know the way, but I know the way." Empress Xiang behind the screen suddenly, "The clan that awards officials every year, Xining is more than four hundred in eight years, more than five hundred in nine years, and almost seven hundred in ten years." That's still less. After the privy pox method, in which year is there no more than eight or nine hundred officials awarded? It's only the heavenly family that is thin. ”
Sighing to the Queen,
Since a few years ago, Zhao Ji has been sighing because of the thin heirs, and he is annoyed when he sees that so many clans have been added every year, and he has been chattering day and night. I heard a lot to the queen, and I wrote it down unconsciously.
Only the emperor is always a thin heir, and the other clans are more powerful than the rats. This is the emperor's heart disease.
The clan was awarded an official at the age of five, and his name was entered into the jade, and every year eight or nine hundred were at least five years old. I also know that the young sons of the clan who are from zero to four years old add up to four or five thousand. And this is only the clan within the five suits, outside the five suits, those clans no longer give names and confer officials, now because the lineage is still small, it is not much, but in the future it will only be more and more, more than the clans that can confer officials.
Han Gang turned to look directly at Wang Anshi: "When Pingzhang cultivated the law of the sect, he no longer conferred officials and names under the rank of relatives, and the reason for this is that there are too many clans, and it is difficult for the state to support it." ”
'The ancestors are exhausted, and they must also be moved, but the virtuous ones? Back then, a cadre of the clan begged Wang Anshi to raise his noble hand for the sake of his ancestors, but Wang Anshi had an unceremonious attack.
The Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven are dedicated to the four relatives (father, ancestor, great-grandfather, and high ancestor) temple, the Eryou (father and grandfather of the great ancestor) temple and the ancestral temple. Wang Anshi was ruthless, the ancestors of the ancestors had to be moved out of the temple, not to mention the clan of the five suits?
Wang Anshi had a calm face and did not answer. But Han Gang didn't care, "The clan is like this, how is the world different?" A large population is of course a good thing, but sometimes it can also turn into a bad thing. Blessings and misfortunes depend. In the event of a natural disaster, the people lack food rations, and the larger the population, the greater the disaster. The world's population is growing by 10% every year and doubling in seven years. An increase of 5 percent, an increase of 5 per cent for every 100 people, and a doubling of the number in 15 years. You can imagine that the population is so large that the acres of land in the world can't support so many people, so what will be the result? ”
"The Great Song Dynasty now has a population of 100 million, how many will there be in fifteen years? Not to mention how many runaways and hidden households are not counted. Those are a few less taxes, you can barely survive, although you violate the law, but it is also pitiful. But after a few more mouths in their house, how many will they survive? The annexed house has 10,000 acres of land and houses, and the poor have no place to stand. The account of the world, the customer according to its three points. The world's account, customers according to its three-percentage. The richer the household, the more they hoard food. In the seventh and eighth years of Xining, it is not that there is not enough food in the world, but the people of Hebei have been in the road long before the food is eaten up, why not? The rich have three years of accumulation, and they are not afraid of disasters. And the poor households, even overnight food is difficult to have a constant production of perseverance, the family has no industry, so there is no scruples, a little turmoil, this generation is the biggest source of disaster! ”
The disadvantages of mergers are well understood by anyone. It's hard to refute. Han Gang is upright, and whoever comes up is replaced, there is no way to refute it.
Now there is the Bureau of Safeguarding the Red Army, there is the Department of Health and Welfare, and the population has increased even more. The establishment of the health and epidemic prevention system has made the country's population increase much faster.
If you don't follow Han Gang's guidance and keep yourself in the house, after a hundred years, when the land can no longer withstand the pressure of the population, will you be able to enjoy peace again? - The Great Song Kingdom is coming to an end.
"Alarmist." Cai Bian was blocked by Han Gang for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity, "There are many wastelands in the world, and there are many that have not yet been developed. What's more, there are holy kings, virtuous ministers below, and the people have skills, so why worry about chaos? ”
"What the editor said is very true, there are indeed many wastelands in the world. The Han family has 300 hectares of land in Gongzhou, all of which have been newly opened up for a few years. In Gongzhou, everyone has a field, at least one hectare, and no one is more than ten hectares. But where did these fields come from, they were taken from the hands of the Tibetans! Dare to ask the editor, the Jun family is in Fujian, how many acres of land is there, can it be compared to a gatekeeper in Gongzhou? ”
"Regardless of the three generations, the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and the Tang Dynasty for 300 years, there are many people and few places to die? The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty have two hundred years, and the Tang Dynasty has also had one hundred and forty years before history. ”
"Because there are so many people and there are few places, there is a very simple solution...... Drowned! I don't want to give birth to a child, and I drown in the water. Jiangnan is densely populated, especially in Fujian, where nine-point mountains and rivers are scarce, and it is even more common to drown infants. The editor is in Fujian, is there any such thing? That is, in recent years, grain from Jiaozhou and Liangguang has arrived in Quanzhou, which has pushed down grain prices. The editor would rather sit back and watch the human tragedy in the country and trap the king in unkindness, but he wants to protect those barbarians. Years of learning, but I don't know where I learned? Mo Zhai's disciples only treated everyone equally, and did not say that they valued animals and despised Chinese people. Han Gang snorted heavily and flicked his sleeves, "The name is Confucian, but it is really a beetle, and the monarch is also!" ”
The struggle for Taoism is about ideology, about the people's support, and about the program of national development.
Confucianism, unlike Buddhism, has been a school of thought that focuses on reality since Confucius. Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, like all the sons of the hundred schools, take governing the country and the people as the core.
Wang Anshi's new school advocates the rule of three generations, pretending to be retro, but in fact changing the law of the ancestors. There are many ways to change the old distribution.
Han Gang's proposition is to distinguish between Ming and Huayi, promote Xia and depreciate Yi, and seek a theoretical basis for expansion. If you don't obey the teachings, that is, beasts, and it is natural for people to kill birds and beasts. But theory alone is not enough, in reality, there must be a driving force. This driving force, starting with the population, forced the imperial court to adopt an expansive national policy.
When the whole country follows Han Gang's train of thought and follows the theory of qi science to develop and expand, who belongs to this Dao system, do you have to think more?
