Chapter 172: Outline

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and before you knew it, the earth was painted white. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The big willow tree on the side of the road has already lost its leaves, and it is bare, but it is a bush of bamboo that flashes from time to time, and it also reveals a green under the snow.

Xu walked in the snow, bowing his head and thinking about his thoughts. The snow fell on the robes, slowly piling up, and the stars were white. Xu Ping walked unhurriedly, although it was snowing in the sky, it was not cold, and his feet were not slippery.

Entering the governor's hall, a group of officials saluted one after another. Xu Pingcai raised his head and ordered everyone to busy their own business.

Yang Xuan accompanied Wang Gongchen, who had just arrived here, and greeted Xu Ping, and said: "Du Cao can't come for a long time, Jun Zhen can't sit still, and said that he wants to go to the back office to find you!" ”

Xu Ping said: "I'm coming here just in time for the snow, but it's late." What's the matter with Jun Zhen? So anxious. ”

Wang Gongchen said: "We have been friends for many years, if you want to do this big thing, how can you not call me?" ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "What's the big deal?" ”

Wang Gongchen turned around and pointed to the busy crowd in the chief's hall and said, "They are busy!" I heard Deputy Envoy Yang say, didn't you say that day that you wanted to do great things? ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It turned out that I was talking about this matter, and I was originally looking for you." However, you are far away from Luoyang City, and I didn't send anyone to inform you, and I will talk about it when you come to Xijing City. ”

Wang Gongchen was still a little skeptical, and asked Xu Ping: "Really wanted to find me?" How did I hear that what had been arranged for each of them to do, and that they were all doing their own thing, and that there was anything left for me? ”

Xu Ping first said to Yang: "The deputy envoy will go to work first, and by the way, call Li Ji over, I have something to tell him." ”

Yang said yes and turned around.

Xu Pingcai said to Wang Gongchen: "Jun Zhen, let's go to the study over there to talk." ”

There is a small study room in the governor's hall, which is Xu Ping's private space. However, he was rarely here, and when he was in the governor's hall, he was in the hall, with the officials of the various cases who were busy with official business. This is his attitude towards business, and it is also his habit.

When they arrived in the study, the guests and hosts sat down, and the official served tea.

After drinking tea, Xu Pingcai said to Wang Gongchen: "You have been raising the camp and field affairs in the past two years, and you have a deeper understanding of various new policies than others, how can you be missing?" The so-called establishment of the law of eternity must have an outline and a purpose, and the outline must be a goal. Now people outside are doing things that are all for purpose. I want to make the outline, I want me, you and Li Jing to do it. What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Wang Gongchen couldn't help but open his mouth, and after a while, he said: "Du Cao, you don't let me participate, I have a labor saga." But suddenly, I was given such a heavy burden, and to be honest, I felt a little panicked in my heart. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "What are you afraid of? You have a lot of things to do, and you want to be a part of it, so you should feel happy. ”

"That being said, but in the past two years, I have only been cultivating land in the camp and farming, and I have not even participated in local government affairs, so how can I take on the heavy responsibility of leading the outline? It's okay to do some chores, such a heavy burden all of a suddenβ€”"

Xu Ping waved his hand, so that Wang Gongchen didn't need to say any more, and said to him: "Jun Zhen, I understand that the reason why this burden falls on you is not because of our friendship, but because only you can do this well. This time, I think the outline is about these few sentences. We often talk about the wealth of the world, but what is the wealth of the world? Is it gold and silver treasures? Or is it an indispensable food for everyone? I don't think so. I have said before that labor creates wealth, and I think it can only be like this. Man's labor is the real wealth, and gold and silver treasures are not mined from the mountains, and are no different from the rocks and soil of the mountains. And the grain and silk that is eaten and clothed are good to grow from the ground, but they must be cultivated, harvested and woven by people. Is there anyone in the world who has a deeper understanding of this than you? Your camp and field work is to rely on the hands of the people in the business, every drop of blood and sweat to create wealth. If you talk about gold and silver, there are many gold mines and silver pits in the world, but all of them add up to a year's wealth that is not as good as your farming and farming. Yes and no? ”

Wang Gongchen nodded emphatically: "Du Cao's words have gone up to my heart!" There are always people in the court who say that the grain and cloth produced in our camp are no different from those of local prefectures and counties. Moreover, the local states and counties only collect taxes, and they also have food, and they do not compete with the people for profit. Am I not saying this without conscience! The land occupied by the camp was all wasteland in the past, which was reclaimed by our people with blood and sweat, and the money and grain were all the hard work of the people who worked in the fields, so there was no difference from the place! It is precisely this principle that labor creates wealth, and only by speaking in this way can we clearly explain where the money and grain for our field work come from! ”

At this moment, Li Jing came in from outside, saluted, and sat down.

Xu Ping said: "You came just in time, I was talking to Jun Zhen about the three of us to make an outline." ”

Hearing Xu Ping repeat what he had just said, Li Jing stood up nervously and said, "How can this be done?" Among the officials who do things, I have the least qualifications and the lowest official position, so for such an important matter, it is natural to find someone with weight! ”

Xu Ping motioned for Li Ji to sit down and said to him, "Who has weight?" In my opinion, the best fit is the two of you! When things are so settled, don't dwell on the matter of identity and status, and put all your energy on how to do things well! ”

Seeing Xu Ping's stern expression, Li Jing had no choice but to sit down again, not daring to refuse, but he was uneasy in his heart.

Xu Ping said: "Just now I talked to Jun Zhen about what the wealth in the world is, or what I said before, only human labor can create wealth. This time, our program is how to set up this sentence, explain the problem clearly, make people understand it, and really use it in the governance of the world. ”

Wang Gongchen turned around and said to Li Ji: "I was in the pavilion before, and I heard Du Cao say this, but I didn't understand it at that time. Where do you think there is such a fallacy in your heart? Speaking of wealth, it is naturally gold, silver, grain, pearl and jade incense, where to start from labor to create wealth? In the past two years, I have been working in the fields, and I really led people to dig food out of the wasteland with one hand, producing countless grains, and this year I have produced a huge amount of cotton, so I really understand the meaning of Du Cao's words! You said that I was a camp and field business, and I used to be an inconsequential yamen, but if Henan Mansion and Cao Si pay off the accounts this year, I will have tens of millions of dollars in the account! ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "You don't have to think about your arrears from time to time, when the time comes, Cao Si will come forward and print the bills to fill the account first, so that you will not miss the spring plowing and spring planting next year." As long as you don't miss the normal production of the camp and field work, the money will be here and will always come to you. -- Back to what I just did. The reason why Li Jing came is because there is still a lack of work to create wealth, what kind of thing is wealth? Since I came to Yongzhou many years ago, Li Jing and I have known each other for many years, and we are proficient in scripture, which is rare in the world. I remember that you interpret the word 'rite', saying that 'rite' is people's desires, people want to live to eat, to dress, to be filial to brothers, to associate with relatives and friends, to raise offspring, to marry wives and have children, these desires are 'rites'. On the other hand, is the satisfaction of these desires what we call wealth? Therefore, this outline cannot be without Li Jing. ”

At this time, Li Jing was unique, believing that the most important thing in heaven and earth was "etiquette", and at this point, he had not yet transcended the sages. So what is "rite"? Li Jing believes that human desire is "etiquette". People must first eat a full stomach in order to live, so food is the root of "etiquette", in the words of Xu Ping's previous life, this is the first desire of people. After satisfying food, people still have the need to reproduce, and it is natural to be attracted to the opposite sex, in other words, sex is the second need. Taken together, these two points are the color eating properties.

When Li Jing talked about this, he left a very deep impression on Xu Ping, he did not expect that there were Confucian people who would explain scriptures like this. In a sense, Lee's views are very close to the sociological views of his previous life.

If Xu Ping came out to talk about the level of people's needs, and then talked about the wealth of society, it would definitely be regarded as a heretical doctrine by the people of this era. His status is not important, this statement is simply ignored, and if his status is important, he will be ridiculed by others. But Li Jing is different, it is no exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of people in this era who can compare with him in the level of scripture theory. He was really able to combine this set of theories with traditional Confucian theories, and justified himself, becoming a major school of Confucianism. It was on this basis that Li Jing in history constructed his own theoretical system and became another major school in addition to science, which profoundly influenced the other major school of Confucianism represented by the Shigong school in the Two Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

Xu Ping's memory of his previous life does not have the impression of Li Ji, his academic school disappeared in the long river of history after the death of the Song Dynasty, although it also profoundly influenced the thinking of the times in the two Song Dynasty, but there are not many traces left in later generations. Xu Ping's understanding of Li Jing has been established little by little through so many years of contact, and the more he has been contacted, the more he feels that Li Jing is a gift from God, and he can theoretically combine his thoughts with this era.

According to Xu Ping's idea, in this three-person group, Xu Ping grasped the direction, Li Jing provided theoretical support, and Wang Gongchen provided practical experience, so as to build a complete theory of creating wealth through labor from theory to practice.

As long as this theory holds its ground, it will have a profound impact on the world, from politics to economics to people's livelihood. If you go down this road, make achievements yourself, and really change the face of the times, no one will be able to go back.

This is the law of all worlds, and it is the great way. The specific technique may change with the times, but this eternal method will be applicable for a long time.
