As soon as Yan Shu said this, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, and even Xu Ping, who had a straight face all day long, had a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a few words of gossip, Li Di asked Yan Shu: "Xu Longtu compiled this set of "Rich Country Security and People's Policy", which can be said to have exhausted his efforts and worked tirelessly. More than 200,000 words, the words are reasonable, and the words are substantial, I don't know if the bachelor can say it? ”

This is Li Di in the examination of Yan Shu, who has been on Jingxi Road for half a year, he has read what he should see, asked what he should ask, and read the books that he should read, and he has to say one, two, three. Otherwise, just talk about going back to Beijing to help talk, what do you help say?

Yan Shu thought about it for a long time before he said: "If you don't look at it, you can use four words - there is a way to make money!" ”

Four words exited, and everyone present laughed together. That's true, but it's not true. Yes, he summarized the principles held in the book, and has always talked about financial management, but he has never forgotten that it is not for the sake of accumulating wealth. No, it's space-wide, and it doesn't actually involve the specific content of the book. It's no wonder that Yan Shu really can't say anything about those specific policies, has no experience, and has no feelings. In his opinion, it is already rare to be able to make money without violating the fundamentals of Confucianism.

Li Di knew Yan Shu very well, and he didn't ask any more, and asked Chen Yaozuo again: "What does Chen Xianggong do?" ”

"The people do not add endowment, but the country is self-sufficient! I don't know how many people have said this sentence since ancient times, but the only thing that can really be said thoroughly and make people believe that it can be done is this "Rich Country and People's Policy"! ”

Chen Yaozuo has really read it carefully, and he has rich experience in handling political affairs, Li Di blurted out as soon as he asked.

After listening to Chen Yaozuo's words, Li Di was noncommittal, and said to Xu Ping: "In the old age, if you let Xu Longtu say it, it will definitely be different from the two of you." Longtu, I don't know if it's or not? ”

Xu Ping smiled: "This is human nature, the same thing, in the eyes of different people, there are always subtle differences." ”

"What sentence would Long Tu use to sum up this strategy?"

"Heavenly principles are human desires, human desires are heavenly principles, and heaven and man are one." When he said this, Xu Ping paused, "State affairs are civil, civil affairs are state affairs, and the people are united." ”

After Xu Ping finished speaking, Li Di held his beard and said with a smile: "As the old man expected, Long Tu is really thoughtful. This strategy starts from the desire of heaven and people, is it just a financial strategy? With these two sentences, "Rich Country and People's Policy" is not only the art of governing the country, but can be called the way of governing the country. Spread the word to the world, and it is enough to become a family! ”

Li Di's evaluation is obviously higher than that of Chen Yaozuo and Yan Shu, which also shows that he has seen something deeper. And this comment made Xu Ping look at Li Di with admiration, and the reputation of this old prime minister really did not come in vain.

Since Fan Zhongyan was demoted, Xu Ping has attached unprecedented importance to ideology. The more you pay attention to it, the more you find its importance, and you can't overestimate it. When the compilation of "Rich Country and People's Policy" was compiled, Xu Ping had roughly expected the consequences, which was nothing more than that he was idle, and the reform was completed by others. Under the age of 30, Xu Ping is not so eager to be a high-ranking official and lead the government, and if he wants to be fast, he will not be able to reach it, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to have more experience at the grassroots level. The only thing that made him feel a pity and couldn't let go of it in his heart was that Fan Zhongyan left, Ouyang Xiu and a large number of other young officials were demoted, and there was an ideological gap in the DPRK, but he couldn't catch it.

Fan Zhongyan can't overestimate the importance of the ideological construction of the later Song Dynasty, which is a thing that Xu Ping has become deeper and deeper. The first Fan Zhongyan and the second Ouyang Xiu, these two people determined the mainstream of the ideology of the Northern Song Dynasty. As for Zhu Xi and others, the source should be found from Guan Xueluo, although the important place is Luoyang, but the key characters have not yet emerged.

This is Xu Ping's conclusion based on the memories of his previous life, as for his good student Li Jing, it is very embarrassing, Xu Ping's memory of his previous life really does not have him. The impression of him is far less than that of Zhou Dunyi, a half-grown doll.

The fifth son of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shao Yong is still farming in Gongcheng, Zhou Dunyi is in the capital with his uncle Zheng Xiang, Zhang Zai is in his early tens, because he is located in the border area of Shaanxi, he is now thinking about learning military affairs and growing up to fight, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers just learned to speak at the age of two or three, and they haven't even started their names. These five people, together with Sima Guang, were called the six gentlemen of Taoism by Zhu Xi, which is the origin of science. Of course, what is embarrassing is that the science of Zun Meng is mixed with Sima Guang, an outlier of Zun Xun, which also shows the attitude of science towards Mencius.

Although science is authentic in the eyes of later generations, it is far from being in the Song Dynasty, and its influence may not be greater than that of Li Jing. From Wang Anshi's reform and Sima Guang's opposition, the thought was divided into two branches, the later generations were called reformers and conservatives, and the Song people were distinguished by the old and the new. And Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, who started the dispute between the old and the new, have a close relationship with Ouyang Xiu. The most important person who influenced their thinking was Fan Zhongyan. The more he came into contact with these people in this era, the more Xu Ping grasped some of the ideological contexts.

The Song people respected Han Yu, and most of the physicals were in the opposition, and basically had no chance to be in charge of the government, in fact, they had little to do with politics, and their knowledge was in their lives. The reason why Meng is respected is to inherit Mencius's theory of life, and the real content is to transform the Buddhist theory of mind and integrate it into Confucianism. This is also from the Han Dynasty, talking about the distinction of temperament, and using the Confucian temperament to confront the Buddhist theory of mind. Ouyang Xiu inherited this vein ideologically, but he was closer to the original Mencius thought, believing that sex is good and evil does not need to be deeply studied, and the exclusion of Buddhism and Taoism is particularly resolute.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were both influenced by Ouyang Xiu. In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, the heart was not the mainstream among scholars. The mainstream of Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty was to emphasize practical learning, practical politics and people's livelihood, rather than talking about necessity and personal practice. The greater significance of science is the absorption and integration of Buddhist philosophy in the virtual philosophical sense, which breaks the roots of Buddhism in the Chinese of the upper strata of society. The mainstream of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was the theory of governing the country established by Fan Zhongyan and based on the Yi and Spring and Autumn Periods. Strict requirements for themselves, care about people's livelihood and suffering, where the road is, and work hard. Fan Zhongyan seems to be sparse in learning, but because of sloppiness, there are no flaws, and some big principles are right no matter how you say it. What he left behind is a spirit that inspires future generations. As for the real fine learning, it is not important.

Whether it is Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, whether it is a new school or an old school, they all inherit the spirit of Fan Zhongyan. Their differences lie in the way of governing the country, and the ideological sources of this way of governing the country are mixed, and Li Jing is one of the major factions.

He is going to promote reform, Xu Ping will naturally pay attention to the previous changes and innovations in ancient and modern times. If you look at it too much, you will be keenly aware of a problem, whether it is a success or a failure, and far-reaching changes often have strong ideological overtones.

The Shang Dynasty reform is the practice of Legalism, the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the initiative of the Hu people, and Wang Anshi's reform is needless to say, and the color of ideological conflict is particularly strong. To think that ideology is not the right thing and to think that you can tell the world in one word is to think about the problem too simply. If we do not solve the ideological problem, we will be jumping into the fire pit by ourselves to carry out reforms.

Later generations often omitted ideological conflicts when talking about historical reforms, and there were various reasons for this. As for dividing the various forces in the reform into several interest groups, thinking that the opponents oppose them only because their interests have been damaged is nothing more than vulgarizing history, which is the same as the use of face masks to represent several characters in opera. The loss of interests will certainly lead to resistance, but those who support will benefit, and those who oppose will suffer from the loss of interests, and to do business with politics as a small businessman is to ridicule human intelligence.

Vulgarizing historical figures, simplifying historical events, and nihilizing the historical process, Xu Ping naturally didn't care if he was idle in his previous life and chatted with others, and posting bragging is nothing more than idleness. But if you are in this torrent of history, and you have no consciousness, and you look at history with the mentality of a game, you deserve to be crushed into dust by the general trend of history.

According to the principle of historical materialism, the development of the productive forces has brought about changes in the relations of production, which constitute the most important content of the economic base, and such changes must be manifested in the superstructure. The superstructure includes ideology and political structure, and the difficulty of changing the political structure is first reflected in the change of ideology.

The lack of ideological movement shows that the time is not ripe for reform. Forcibly pushed, if it succeeded, it was the end of Shang Ying's car splitting, and if it failed, he would die without a place to be buried, and there was a Wang Mang who was still ridiculed. Fortunately, the emergence of Fan Zhongyan and his support show that the time has come for major ideological changes, and reform has become an inherent demand of society. As long as we adapt to the times, we can promote social change at the lowest cost.

It is precisely because change has become the call of the times that "Rich Country and Security Policy" came out, and even Lu Yijian could gladly accept it. It is precisely because he has grasped the pulse of the times that Xu Ping is not worried that his hard work will be in vain.

However, if we fail to occupy the ideological high ground and unify our ideology, there will eventually be twists and turns in reform. What Xu Ping is most afraid of is that the policy has changed in the hands of others, and the way to make money has become a trick to collect money, and if he has a bad reputation, it will be difficult for him to start all over again. I am even more afraid that because of the deviation of the policy, even my previous efforts will be in vain.

Fan Zhongyan left Beijing, and now Gao Ruone and Yao Zhongsun are in charge of the Gouguo Zijian together, and there are no academically convincing people in the capital, which is a good opportunity to seize the ideological position. Let the opportunity slip away, he is really unwilling.

In the words of Xu Ping's previous life, it is just to meet the material and cultural needs of the masses of the people, and it is the main task of the current administration. The unity of state affairs and civil affairs is to bypass the distinction between justice and interests, and the interests of the government and the interests of the people are unified, and they can go hand in hand and do not deviate from each other. These two sentences can find a basis from the classics and develop into a systematic theory, which is exactly what Li Jing is good at.

With such a theoretical basis, there is a distinction between private interests and public interests, and there is a dialectical unity between the two. Public interests are based on and different from private interests, and the ultimate development results must be implemented in private interests. The coordination between public and private interests is the fundamental "etiquette" of Confucianism, which is also the core of Li Jing's thought. "Etiquette" is the principle, and the law is the embodiment, and there is a fundamental connection between the two, but they are different, and at the same time play a normative role in the social form.

If these can be placed at the heart of the current ideology, then reform will be a matter of course, and it will no longer be caused by the mistakes of one person or one policy.

Xu Ping worked hard to compile "Rich Country and Security Policy", and the book was compiled, but he found that this was not his most urgent task. Without ideological guidance, the policy may eventually change its flavor and go in a direction that it is impossible to explain. Only by occupying the ideological position can it be said that the law of eternity has been established.

This is how things in the world are, when you do one thing, you find that the goal is always ahead. There is no lack of joy of success on the road of struggle, but it is always accompanied by loss, and it is this loss that gives people the motivation to move forward forever.
