Chapter 98: Decision-making

Li Ji sighed: "I remember saying before that the wealth in the world is made by people, and that sentence is that labor creates wealth." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't figure it out. Since ancient times, all things are born to support people, and if the sky does not change, then the wealth of the world will have a certain number, and if it is not in the government, it will be in the people. In the past year, after seeing the changes in Jingxi Road, I have some understanding in my heart. Since Ducao came to Jingxi Road, the real people are self-sufficient without endowment. ”

Zhao Yan sighed: "Self-sufficiency without endowment, Sang Hongyang used it to say Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the fifth Qi used it to collect wealth and help Tang Suzong quell the chaos, although it did solve the country's temporary crisis at that time, but it was also endless." What they are doing is the art of accumulating money, which sounds good, but in fact they are scraping the people's wealth to help the country. It is precisely because of the great harm of the skills practiced by these two people that the saying that there is a certain amount of wealth in the world is popular. If Yun Xing wants to get out of the shadow of these two people, it also depends on the follow-up impact of money entering the house. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Xiping is right, what is really going on, it's not yet time to make a conclusion." What I did was naturally not Sang Hongyang and Fifth Qi's method of collecting money, the mention of self-sufficiency without endowment, Li Jing, don't say it in the future, but it will fall into the hands of others. After a year or two, the government will not be short of money, and it will be able to reduce the tax and make the people rich, so that it can really be said that they have stepped out of the shadow of Sang Hongyang and Fifth Qi and found a feasible way. ”

Li Ji hurriedly nodded yes, and said: "Since the lower officials went to Fangcheng County to take up their posts and personally handle local government affairs, they really understood many of the truths that Cao had talked about before. I have a lot of experience in this year, and I have combined the truth of Du Cao's preaching with the words of the sages, which is a different world. I have always wanted to write a policy theory, understand the reason of Du Cao, and submit it to the imperial court, which should be a good prescription for governing the world. ”

Xu Ping looked at Li Jing and thought for a while before saying: "Don't be in a hurry in advance, the new policy has not yet achieved great results at this time, and it will cause controversy to the imperial court." You can write a rough one and show it to me, this matter is very important, and we will discuss it. ”

"Obey Du Cao's orders!"

Seeing that Li Jing was well-behaved, Xu Ping let out a sigh. I have cultivated him since he was in Yongzhou, and single-handedly guided him to take the Jinshi examination, and I have known him for a long time. At the beginning, it was just because I saw that he was eager to study and had a sense of proportion, so I helped him on a whim, and I didn't have any long-term plans. It wasn't until Li Jing entered Beijing to catch the exam that the two spent more time together, so they discussed some academic issues with him and understood them more deeply. From that time on, Xu Ping hoped that one day he would be able to sort out his later thoughts according to the discourse system of this era, truly form a systematic theory, and combine it with his own practice. Only when a systematic theory becomes the consensus of the people can we avoid the death of the people.

Xu Ping doesn't know when this day will come, theory does not come from fantasy, it must be based on practice. When Xu Ping was in the capital, he was just making a small fuss, and really speaking, it was just a trick to collect money, and it was not as clever as the financial management of the previous dynasty. It's just that I have a lifetime of knowledge and try to minimize the side effects.

After arriving at Jingxi Road, it was different, Xu Ping really began to straighten out the production relations and prepare for the breakthrough of productivity. The current policy is fundamentally different from that of previous dynasties, waiting for the explosive impact of the breakthrough in the productive forces to appear. And this breakthrough point, Xu Ping chose the cotton industry.

If Li Jing can really understand the policies at this stage and integrate them with the mainstream thinking, then Xu Ping's hard work in the past two years will be completed. The new theory, combined with the practice of earth-shaking changes, will be extraordinary, and will naturally arouse some interest. The confrontation with other ideological systems will be done by professional people, and there is no need for Xu Ping to use his theoretical shortcomings to fight a lawsuit with others.

Social existence determines social consciousness, and revolutionary changes in productive forces and production relations will inevitably bring about revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of thought. This is a time of ideological change in the making, and there is no shortage of far-sighted and action-oriented thinkers.

Policy is an important part of the imperial examination, the previous dynasty was to give poetry to take scholars, it was relatively unimportant, Zhao Zhen changed to use both policy theory, and his status was suddenly raised. In addition to the imperial examination, the policy is also an important style for the subordinates and even the common people to express their views on the major policies of the state, which is more targeted than the treatise, more formal than the book, and the object is the emperor himself. Generally, when the policy for current affairs is in front of the emperor, a clear answer must be given.

If Li Jing really clarifies the ideas that Xu Ping brought to this world and forms a new theory and presents it, then the new idea of governing the country will be completely formed, and it will be put in the spotlight and accepted by the officials and people of the world.

It is not yet that time, not because the theory is not perfect, but because the political achievements of Jingxi Road are not enough to support it.

Wang Gongchen put down the cup in his hand and interjected: "What kind of labor creates wealth, although the word labor is a bit nondescript, which makes people scratch their heads, it can barely be understood, and the meaning of the word is just labor." At first I heard it, I thought it was nothing unusual, but I worked in the camp for two years, but I thought it made a lot of sense. Li Jing, if you write a draft and lend it to me, maybe there will be something you didn't think of. If you really write such a strategy, remember to count me as one. ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "Speaking of which, how can I stay out of the matter?" The new policy on Jingxi Road, it is said that since I came to Ruzhou to take up a post, I minted a small iron coin here, and it is seriously said that it started here. ”

"Okay, that's it, let's do it together!" Xu Ping raised his glass and had a drink with everyone to settle the matter. "It's just that this matter can't be rushed, although false words can be famous, but it is easy to be despised without actual political achievements. We just need to prepare first, and we still have to see the effect of the new policy. By the way, since you have decided to do this, you must pay attention to all aspects of the new policy, and when the time comes, it will be reasonable and substantial, and this policy will have weight! ”

The three of them agreed together, toasting and laughing.

Xu Ping drank the wine in his glass, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the night sky. A full moon hung on the sapphire-like canopy, and the light of the stars was hidden, shining and shining, which was the appearance of the stars arching over the moon.

After half a year of busyness, when the new policy came to bear fruit, I could already see the fruit, just waiting for it to be ripe and picked. Practice is the best teacher, and as long as the New Deal bears fruit, the previous opposition can be ignored.

As long as there is this practice, new theories will come out and can come out to fight all kinds of ideas.
