Chapter 271: Special Zone - City of Miracles (Part II)
"Wei Shi Niang, this is not what you care about," Zheng Lang said, and did not say anything more about it. For Haoqiang, you can't blindly deny Zhao Kuangyin's meaning, release the military power, you can enjoy the blessings. Officially, they were allowed to do so. So the country from chaos to rule, this is very important, although the diplomacy is weak, but the country is peaceful and rich, but other feudal dynasties are incomparable. The vast amount of wealth they had amassed in their hands, as well as the redundancy of the state's expenses, forced the country to look everywhere for the economic path of good surnames, so that there was such a developed business today.
Otherwise, like the Tang Dynasty, the ministers were not only not allowed to talk about business, but also were not allowed to interact with merchants, how could the economy of the Song Dynasty come from today.
Or to use the twelve mantras, no agriculture is unstable, no work is not rich, no business is not living, if you want to be rich, you must have industry and commerce, even the most primitive industry and commerce.
This is a good place, but the disadvantage is the annexation, and don't expect that emperor to want to correct it, at most make a fine-tuning. For example, Zhao Gou, when the country lives and dies, also uses this kind of policy to make Zhang Jun rich and collect millions of family property, but don't meddle in military power anymore.
If you don't understand this bottom line and forcibly reform, Zhang Ju, Yang Yan and others come over to assist Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi will be defeated!
Wei Shi Niang stuck out her tongue.
But Zheng Lang was even more suspicious in his heart, what does this big wave girl often do in Taipingzhou?
Could it be that he really took a fancy to Sima Guang or Lu Gong, and just took advantage of his brother-in-law to be here, and came to a building near the water to get the moon first?
I had to talk to Shi Congguang that day.
What I can teach them is their studies, including teaching them how to behave, but in the end, it is not their parents, and they can't make decisions about their own affairs, and if something bad happens, it will be very embarrassing at that time.
Lu Erlang understood and asked worriedly: "Then what will happen to the workshop in the future?" ”
"You don't have to worry, no matter what the court does, the technology is provided by me, not the craftsman. They also have to consider my feelings, and my promise to you, that some people will be forced to let go, but it will take a few years. ”
After a few years, the cost was already recovered and it began to make money.
"Then ...... back"
"It doesn't matter in the future, for example, the source of cane is purchased locally, saving freight, and one dollar can buy more than 15 stones, and planting cane is still three to five times the income of growing rice. Then the cost will drop to a pound of thirteen dollars. The profit fell partly, and the profit of the merchant fell again, and the average price of a catty was only 30 yuan, which was almost the same as the price of salt, and how many people would be able to eat it, and besides, this sweet water would also flow out......"
Shi Congguang suddenly brightened.
"The profits of the Wuhu workshop will decline, but there will continue to be, a hundred years, two hundred years, two hundred years later, can you and I still think about it? What I fear most is the forcible intervention of the imperial court. For example, the tea method was originally well-intentioned, but the tea farmers had difficulty surviving, so they gave it the principal. Reuse the power of the whole country, the state machine, sold all over the country, no matter how remote the mountainous area, tea is also obtained, so Jianzhou tea gradually revealed. But what did it end up with? ”
"Tea law, Li Xianggong's new proposal......" Gao Ruone said.
"This new law is full of loopholes, and besides, they have offended the people of the world, can they be implemented for a long time?"
Gao Ruone smiled bitterly, he is not a person from the world, but a small group of people who manage the world and control the country's economic lifeline.
"I went to Taiping Prefecture for several purposes, one is to write moderation, which is not only morality, but also the standard used by Confucianism to govern the country and the people. Not only is he writing a book, but he is also trying to reconcile the contradictions between various households in the territory with the golden mean. Confucianism also has another purpose, to learn from things, from knowledge to wisdom, then wisdom to sanctity. Therefore, the use of knowledge to benefit all households in the territory, including sucrose. The workshop is trying the golden mean. ”
"What's the explanation?"
"Only to benefit the country, not to benefit the 'people of the world', will the policy be long-lasting?"
I didn't dare to answer, "It's impossible for the imperial court to monopolize, and then look at the tea law, Lin Te changed the tea law, and made a profit for the court in the first year of seven million guan, which is only the income of the imperial court, in fact, what is it, now, it is only 290,000 guan, at least nearly 20 million guan, why does the imperial court only get one percent of it." And the law is changing, the tea merchants are inconvenient, the tea people are poor, and the upper and lower are resentful. Why bother? ”
I can't answer again.
"It's none of my business, I hang high on myself, even if someone wants to contribute to the court, but because of the lack of talent, the more they contribute, the more chaotic they become. The officials below are greedy for ink, and officials and businessmen collude. As a result, no matter what good policy there is, it has become a maladministration below, and the more you change the people, the more resentful you become. But can it all be handed over to the merchants? ”
"No," Wang Zhaoming said eagerly.
The imperial court is in need of money, this is not tens of thousands of dollars, if it is done well, there are several large workshops all over the country, and the imperial court must have a lot of profits.
"Forty percent is enough, with forty percent of the income, how much profit will the tea party make?"
I can't answer it, it's more than seven million, but there will be two or three million. instead of the current 290,000.
"The businessman has got sixty percent of the deed shares, so that the people of the world can not be satisfied, what do they want to do!"
Still can't answer. Wuhu can't enter this time, but other new workshops will inevitably force in, this is sixty percent, if you are not satisfied, it is not the country's preferential treatment, it is to want the whole country to finish, to support their less than one thousandth, one ten-thousandth big family!
"They themselves are businessmen, and they will not be like officials who don't understand, fill good tea with autumn and old yellow leaves, so that tea merchants are angry, and they will maintain a business model with a good surname, but from bottom to bottom, there will be hundreds of deed shares, large and small, and there are many people involved, it is not easy to keep secrets, dare to collude with officials and businessmen? This in itself is a system of oversight. Therefore, the imperial court can only get four shares, and no matter how much, in the end, even one percent will not be obtained. ”
After going around for most of the day, he finally said his thoughts.
He continued: "Before I arrived, I told a few students that I would come to create a special zone. ”
"Special Zone?"
"It is a special economic zone, which deals with state politics with moderation and creates wealth with the knowledge generated by Gewu, making it a model, an example for other officials to follow. Gao Siji, Wang Neizhi, after you go back, you must also bring my intention to the imperial court, don't intervene, it is already almost successful, as long as it is successful, it may be the best reference model for the state governance of the Song Dynasty. It's not just a circle, it's a way of thinking. Even if it is Bashu, there are also specialties of various states. For example, Fan Zhizhou went to Raozhou, and told me that Raozhou has Pengli Lake, Changjiang, Yuganshui, Pojiang water, not only the benefits of polders, but also the benefits of mountains and lakes, Pengli Lake can be shipwed, Jingdezhen has porcelain, this is the specialty of Raozhou's terrain, grasped, there are several years of governance, Raozhou will also be rich. ”
Gao Ruone knew the meaning of Zheng Lang's special zone, and understood the reason why Zheng Lang didn't like Zhongshu's intervention.
In fact, he stayed for so many days, not last year, when they first came to the Great Song Dynasty last year, they only saw the benefits of the polders, and some workshops were not established, and they saw the benefits, but they didn't see much, so they were not very cautious.
But after this autumn, with a bumper harvest, and the fierce and seductive veil of cane sugar, Gao Ru Neng was not cautious, and he himself liked the way of Guan Shen.
Zheng Lang didn't drink much, but Wang Zhixian drank a lot.
Hearing Zheng Lang's words made him feel a lot of emotion, inspiration, and ...... Excited. The efforts of these people will become the goal of learning for all officials of the Song Dynasty, can you feel honored?
…… The next day, the merchants met again, and Zheng Lang asked, "You all had a good stay yesterday." ”
"Yes, yes," replied together.
Yesterday, Zhang Dalang said: "The change is really not small, it has only been three or four years, and I didn't expect Wuhu to have this Chenguang." ”
Not only the service level of the inn has improved, but also there are many rich nightlife, which makes them very satisfied, far from the shabby appearance of Wuhu City in previous years.
Another Jia said: "The people said that this is the city of miracles, and they went around last night, and I believe it." ”
"Now everything is created, call it the city of miracles, too much. But do you feel it? There are only a few thousand households in the city, and 100,000 households like Suyang, Hangzhou, and Hubei can't do it, but is the population of Wuhu City too small? ”
"yes...... I understand. There was surprise in Zhang Dalang's eyes.
Needless to say.
If you want to be good, you can't rely on the locals, and you have to come from other places to bring more big households, and everyone competes with each other, so that this pool of water can be lived.
And brought to the workshop, the method of making rock sugar is relatively simple, the best white sugar is cut and melted again, put in the egg to remove impurities, the key is the control of the fire, when the heat is about the same, the new green bamboo is cut into an inch long slices, put into the melted sugar, so yesterday everyone ate a trace of melted egg white taste, but also feel a fresh taste, that is, a trace of bamboo slices.
After a night of coagulation, it curls into rock sugar, and the reason why it is so fast is due to the egg white, which not only melts the taste but also accelerates the coagulation speed.
The mystery does not want to be solved for the time being.
Take out the rock sugar, the blue and white rock candy strips are more like jade, crystal and lovely.
Zhang Dalang looked at it and said, "Why don't you have those white sugar powders?" ”
"That's the real frosting, it's new at this time, it's not condensed, and after a while, the sugar will bloom out, and it will form a small layer of faint sugar powder, sugar silk, or call it frosting." In short, it is not the product of distillation, and the purity is not enough, which is the reason for the production of white frosting.
One person got a little bit.
It's for them to take back and advertise in advance.
Zheng Lang took them to another place.
Or cotton products.
Some people already know, "There are many in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are planted in the obscurity of spring in February and March...... To the end of autumn yellow flowers firm, and ripe, its skin is split, which blooms such as cotton (cotton from the cotton tree blooms), the native people to iron collar to grind its core, take such as cotton, with bamboo as a small bow, four or five inches long, pull the string to play cotton, make it even fine, roll for a small tube, spin it, natural thread, such as reeling silk, do not work to sew, weave for cloth.
Jiangnan mainly refers to Lingnan, and a small number of people in Fujian and southern Jiangxi also cultivate it.
The flowers are mostly yellow and white, which is the color of the most inferior varieties of Asian coarse pile cotton.
It is impossible to plant the seeds, that is, to scatter the seeds, like planting wheat, to make depressions in the ground, to sprinkle four or five seeds into them, to cover them with plant ash and pig dung, and to let them grow and carry them, which is impossible, and will not officially appear until 950 years later.
A small iron collar, that is, a small iron stick, is beaten on the cotton to squeeze out the cotton seeds, otherwise you will really peel them off with your hands, and you will be tired to death. Before Huang Daopo reformed the process, he also used this method to remove seeds.
Huang Daopo was tired, and this woman, who was full of aura and wisdom, remembered to invent the deseeding machine.
The bamboo bow is also a small bow, and the effect of a small bow that is more than a foot long is also very poor.
But the ancients also had the wisdom of the ancients, and the cotton fiber was very short, so some mulberry hemp was blended into it, and gradually cotton cloth became popular. But it is not the mainstream after all, all the brand-name textiles of the Song Dynasty, none of them have "Jibei cloth" and "cotton cloth".
But from this day on, it will be history.
When I walked into the warehouse, I first opened a bed of quilts and padded jackets for everyone to see.
Jiangnan can't be warm like spring in a year, and it will be cold in winter, and there will be a layer of melting ice.
Many people have heard of it and are seeing it for the first time.
There are warm quilts, duvets, felt, and ordinary people have to be wronged, hemp quilts and kudzu quilts.
The kapok tree also produces cotton, but who is willing to stuff the quilt with kapok?
A fat man asked, "How many quilts can be produced in one acre of land?" ”
He is a businessman and asks very expert questions. Seeing its benefits, but the output can't keep up, the price will be high, and the price will be high, which will inevitably hinder its popularity and commercial value.
"Last year, the official sent someone to Wuling to find some seeds to come back for trial planting, and the planting method is different from Lingnan, and the yield is higher than where they are. However, because the seeds are not adaptable, the yield does not make me happy. Like this kind of quilt, one acre of land can make about eight beds. But after a few years, it will be possible to increase to twelve or thirteen beds. ”
Now the output of lint per acre is only 50 catties, and the seeds are gradually improving, there will be about 70 or 80 catties of lint, and there will be hundreds of catties of lint with high yield.
The cost is still high, but even if there are fifty catties of lint, it also has the value of popularization.
Touching the quilt one by one, it was very affectionate, after all, this is a new thing, and it has practical value, and it will also generate huge profits in their hands.
"Don't look at it, until next year, there is no popularization this year, the output is not very high, there are some finished products, I plan to reward various officials in the state, in the past few years, everyone has worked very hard. There are also some lonely, widowed, poor, filial piety and philanthropic families. ”
So saying, he took them inside.
Inside is cotton products, the whole set of processes are all displayed, it is as simple as that, a simple cost will be low, a low has commercial value.
And this is the most skilled weaver girl in the country, speaking of Confucianism, they don't understand, but how they can turn yarn cotton into exquisite textiles, there will not be many people who can surpass them in the world. Even when Jiangnan technology is backward, it is impossible to find hundreds of people to compare with them.
It is still blended, but the craftsmanship is exquisite, far from being compared with Jibeibu from Lingnan.
It also feels good, the silk and cotton are organically organized together, which is soft and smooth without losing its smoothness.
Their eyes gradually brightened.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the four major things of the common people, are in this regard, and each of them has huge sales.
And it's the only one.
As long as it is unique, business is better.
Wang Zhaoming suddenly said: "Zheng Zhizhou, don't forget Your Majesty." ”
"It's also a luxury."
Wang Zhaoming's eyes widened, what kind of luxury is it just wearing and covering?
"But if you ......"
"I forced you." After finishing speaking, he was going to faint at the same time as Gao Rune.
"Since you forced me, I can't help but agree, and later you can pick up a hundred quilts, a hundred jackets, and some clothes and bring them back to the capital."
Wang Zhaoming was speechless.
Zheng Lang said again: "But the following thing, even if you force me, you can't bring it back." ”
As he spoke, he took them out of the workshop.
Coming to the edge of the Qingyi water, there are two towers about ten meters high, covered with gauze, with the arrival of everyone, Wang Xian Ling brought a group of officials, set off firecrackers, and then unveiled the gauze.
The gauze was being lifted here, and many people were already pouring over there.
In the past few years, many new things have appeared one after another, before it was completed, they were all very mysterious, and the people developed a habit, but this tower is on the riverside, and they all want to see it.
It is a bell tower, without Zheng Lang, and a few decades later, Su Song also made a bell tower, which is more complicated, the lower floor is the bell tower, the middle floor is the armillary image, the upper floor is the countertop, and the armillary sphere is set up. Zheng Lang on the middle and upper floors were all discarded, and only one bell was taken.
Using a turbulent place in Qingyi Water as a hydraulic power, a few clever craftsmen were invited to come and make some gears and springs, and the backwardness of the process made it very clumsy. But it is more intuitive, dividing the day into twelve hours, only one hour hand, constantly rotating along the twelve hours. Thinking about two hour hands, the craft can't keep up.
After a month of correction, it is estimated that there are still errors, mainly because the flow rate of Qingyi water is different, the spring machinery is not standard, and I don't know how Su Song succeeded. However, under the continuous debugging of craftsmen, the misunderstanding is not big, the big one has an error of more than ten minutes a day, and the small one has an error of a few minutes a day, and sometimes it is not as good as the hourglass standard.
Therefore, every other day, someone must be sent to make corrections.
But it's also a great thing.
The gauze is unveiled, the position of the hour hand is corrected, and the original spring is installed, and the hour hand moves slowly, and with each turn, there is a crisp beeping sound. Just when the time comes, the pendulum below automatically makes six melodious sounds.
Some of the common people fell down in worship and murmured prayers.
The businessmen looked at each other in the same way.
Zheng Lang said: "This is for the people to tell the time. ”
It's not a time report, there is also a tourist value, and the value of broad-mindedness, but not to mention, some people have to say that they have invented luxury things, misleading the country and the people.
Indeed, it also cost a lot, and it cost more than 4,000 yuan.
But what is that for these merchants?
Staring at Zheng Lang, there was surprise, admiration, admiration, and respect in his eyes.
Some people said in their hearts, why use three or four years, now Wuhu is a real city of miracles.
Zheng Lang didn't care, and said lightly to everyone: "Everyone, please appreciate it slowly, I have something to do when I go back." ”
Call Wang Zhixian back.
The price of cane was set a little high, and they gave the usual money of eight stones, but Zheng Lang bought the same amount of money of ten stones in Taiping Prefecture and the inferior cane of fifteen stones. It is also the season of sugarcane ripening, and almost all of them are purchased.
The price difference is large, and some compensation needs to be made, not to mention the inferior cane, only calculated by excellent cane, and then compensated 500 wen per mu of land. But the compensation is only the rated amount, and the people quietly multiply, no compensation will be made.
It has made Wang Xianling glare, and asked: "There has never been such a thing since ancient times. ”
"Take it from the people, use it for the people, the way to govern the country, the upper can secure the country, and the lower can govern the people. You and I are both local officials, Anbang can't, but to guard this side of the people for Your Majesty, the price is very different, and the people are unfair in their hearts, so what does it mean to govern the people and love the people? ”
After speaking, he returned to Taiping Prefecture.
Bring a few students to the polder.
The main thing is to build a polder, it is a sweeping project, and Zheng Lang does not dare to be sloppy.
Next year will be fine, there is no need to build any polders, and a stele is also made to order that no polders are allowed to be built in the future, otherwise the waterway will inevitably be occupied, which is not to build a polder, but to harm the polder. For example, Xingchun Wei, in history, there are 10,000 acres of lotus root fields, not lotus root fields, but many circles of lakes into it, resulting in the inability to form cultivated land.
Then say three points.
With the three points of the mean, it has also reached the most critical time.
Sitting in the cabin, Zheng Lang said: "What Taoists yearn for is that heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me. ”
From Zhuangzi.
Taoism is subjective and void, the beginning of heaven and earth is empty, and a point is produced at the beginning of formation, which is one, and later divided into yin and yang, and all things are born. But in the end, we have to return to the original point and turn all things into one, into nothingness, and into nothingness.
It is very consistent with the scientific view of the formation of the universe and the concept of extinction.
Therefore, this one has a very high status in Taoism.
When it comes to the Legalist, the emphasis is on "knowing the king of the lord of the other, robbing the same person, and killing the person who works with him". To ensure that this is not the opposite of the opposite, so the emphasis is on reward and punishment, and the emphasis is on two.
Zheng Lang didn't appreciate this.
Because he read Confucian books since he was a child, it is very likely that he was also assimilated by Confucius, and he originally wanted to put on the coat of Confucianism and do some practical things, but later he felt that Confucianism was good, and his thoughts were better than any other. This situation is like Taoism, many emperors use Taoism to fool the people, but to get the best, they are bewitched by some bad Taoist sticks, or eat lead and mercury poison in small pills and die, or greatly promote Taoism and harm the country.
Therefore, Zheng Lang sometimes unconsciously maintains the dignity and orthodoxy of Confucianism.
According to his ideological concepts, Legalism is not advisable, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad in a person, rewards and punishments are clearly deserved, and a person's life cannot be judged by one thing.
He is making mistakes, and Fan Zhongyan is also making mistakes, some have good intentions, but they are doing bad things.
Although the distinction between rewards and punishments must be retained, we cannot treat things with a purely two-pole view.
Taoism seems to be more advanced, but for the universe, it is a process of birth and death for tens of billions of years, or even longer, so should human beings demand themselves with a cosmic time?
Only Confucianism is more in line with human law, and it is a point-by-point interception.
This point is only a few thousands, hundreds, or even a few years of Chenguang, but it is more practical.
Therefore, Confucianism attaches great importance to three.
The emphasis on opposition and unity is also in line with the materialist concept of dialectic.
But when arguing about yin and yang, benevolence, loyalty, forgiveness, etiquette, and wisdom, there is another thing that is emphasized, and that is the way of reconciliation. That's three.
This three is even more inscrutable, "whether there is doubt about right and wrong, then measure it to distant things, test it with near things, and participate in it with peace of mind." ”
Ginseng is three.
Peace of mind is not to calm the mind, but refers to the opposition of distant things and near things and even all objective existence, which should be equal, and should maintain a fair state of mind, not with distant things and near things, but the third party needed in the process of coexistence and coexistence of opposites and unity.
The master also said that quality is better than literature, literature is better than history, literature is courteous, and then gentlemen.
Simplicity is better than literary ornamentation, it will be rude, literary ornament is better than simplicity, it will be flashy, and the proportion is appropriate, it is a gentleman. This politeness is three.
If you can't go with it, you will also be crazy, the crazy will be aggressive, and the crazy will not do anything.
Those who do not get the Bank of China will inevitably take madness, the mad will be radical, and the ruthless will not do anything, neither of which is advisable. This BOC is three, and it is closer to the mean.
Speaking of this, he glanced at Sima Guang and Wang Anshi meaningfully, one of them is crazy and the other is fierce in history.
Or say, how about repaying grievances with virtue?
Zi said, how to repay virtue? Directly report the urgency, and repay the virtue with virtue.
How about revenge with morality? The master said, what to repay virtue, repay virtue with virtue, and repay grievances with straightforwardness. Here is a deliberate distinction between straight and virtuous. As the saying goes, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot, which is to repay virtue with virtue.
But how to repay a grievance? Repaying grievances with virtue, is the brain funny?
Said to Li Yuanhao, don't make trouble, I'll be nice to you, okay?
The words of the beast also! It is not what Zheng Lang said, but what Meng Fuzi said.
But it's not for people to retaliate, depending on the situation, if you do something wrong, you can't blame others. But if someone does something wrong and bullies him so much that he can't bear it, then he will repay his grievances with grievances, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. So a straight word was used.
These two very different attitudes are also a three.
There is a sentence in "The Mean" that Zheng Lang appreciates very much, the way is not good, I know it, those who know it are too good, and those who are foolish are not as good as it. The way is unknown, I know it, the sage is over, and the unscrupulous are not as good. People don't eat and drink, and they rarely know the taste.
The first one knows to know, and the latter one knows to be a person who is too smart, not wise.
Originally, it was a very simple truth, but the more these knowers spoke, the more complicated it became, such as the great Confucians who came and went in ancient and modern times. There is also a virtuous character, such as Fan Zhongyan, his surname is higher than the snow on the Tianshan Mountain, but is there any mistake, you have been the first in three hundred years, and you have only one scholar in the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, so how can others do it? Therefore, it is said that the sage is over, and it is a person like Fan Zhongyan. As for Ouyang Xiu and Shi Jie, don't take them seriously, read their articles, they write in clusters, but when doing things, it's better not to study, they're messing around.
But the foolish and the unscrupulous cannot learn.
How to do it, the middle way of reconciling.
Speaking of this, a few students understood everything except for the very little Fan Chunren, who had a hard time listening.
The so-called three is the mean.
With this three-point supplement, the theory of the golden mean becomes more perfect.
In fact, with this mean, Zheng Lang has gradually entered the ranks of Confucianism.
Had to go back after a few days.
Several Niangniang and Weaver Girl have returned to Zhengzhou together, and Weaver Girl will not come back next year. After more than two years of teaching, at least 500 weaver girls with excellent weaving skills and more than 1,000 women who can be said to be reasonable in Taiping Prefecture have been added.
Most of these weaver girls were hired by large families.
There is also a brocade rust garden, Zheng Lang let them visit, but they should be quiet and not disturb the normal work of the weaver girl inside.
Nowadays, Wuhu City, with the brocade rust garden as the leader, after a silk comes out, each horse is two yuan, and it is in short supply, and some other workshops, the price ranges from two yuan to one money, but it is no longer the raw silk of several hundred dollars in the past.
This added value alone generates a lot of profit.
There is no need for the Weaver Girl to run back and forth, watching several wives and concubines working hard, Zheng Lang is also a little unbearable.
I heard that several ladies from Zhizhou, as well as the Weaver Girl who had been with her for more than two years, went back, and the people who came to see them off crowded the dock, and some women said goodbye with tears.
The sails were raised, and suddenly all the pedestrians on the shore were silent.
Because they watched a few ladies leave, they suddenly thought of a terrible thing............ Wang Zhaoming and Gao Ruone also returned to the capital.
Zhao Zhen happily listened to Wang Zhaoming finish what happened, including the real reason for asking the ghost case, which was very magical and incredible.
But he immediately summoned the important ministers of the Eastern and Western Prefectures and the three envoys of the Taiwan Pavilion to the palace.
Not only are there some lessons to be learned, but there are also some things that have happened below, especially the enclosure.
All states are encircled, but there are different ways to do it, and the consequences are also different. For example, Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun are close to each other, and many people run to Taiping Prefecture with their families, but they can't stop them, which is very embarrassing and loses political achievements.
I often went to Taiping Prefecture to see, and I was influenced by Zheng Lang, so I was ruthless, killing the rich and robbing the poor, and I was opening a new polder, but I didn't care about the two large households, and the previous property did not move you, and the private polder was not right, and it was all invalid. Don't blame me, the imperial court issued an edict.
Private polders were forcibly enclosed in Dawei and then distributed to fifth-class and even fourth-class households.
The move was thunderous.
The labor is there, and all the frantically pick the polders.
But their measures offended the "people of the world", all the big households in the territory were opposed, and even some small officials deliberately made trouble, and the complaints also reached the capital, but the interests of the majority of the people were safeguarded, and the people were happy, so tens of thousands of people wrote to protect the two governors.
The public says the reason, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law.
Or it is not impossible that Shuzhou is building the largest polder, which is 300 hectares larger than Jingmin Wei, but in order to exchange for the support of rich households, Zhizhou has an unfair distribution, and if there is no action from Taiping Prefecture, the people will suffer it. Yes, you can set an example, so you don't agree. The law does not blame the public, one person makes trouble and is easy to arrest, and tens of thousands of people make trouble, and no one dares to move. The Daxu plan is there, but a piece of dirt has not been moved.
Let's get into trouble together.
Several prime ministers also don't know what to do. A few bigwigs watched these twists and turns and were very sad. Report to Zhao Zhen, how does Zhao Zhen know how to deal with it?
Just bring all the bigwigs, let Wang Zhaoming and Gao Ruone talk, see if they can give these bigwigs some reference.
Listening to the two of them talk about what happened, Wang Zeng asked silently: "Has his moderation been written?" ”
After speaking, he frowned.
It could not be clearer, to reconcile the people of all households in the territory with moderation, to act with moderation, and to create wealth for the people with the knowledge generated by learning from things. With these two items, not only Taiping Prefecture, but also Bashu can build a Liangzhou.
But this meanness is certainly not the mean, which Wang has learned.
The later Gewu Zhizhi made him even more dazed, he is also a three-yuan and first, and he is very proficient in the master's knowledge, but has he ever learned how to turn black sugar into that kind of snow sugar? Really learned...... That's weird!
Let's ask the mean first.
"When I came, Zheng Zhizhou was co-writing three points with several of his students."
"Three points?" Wang Zeng was at a loss again.
The three points are very important in Confucianism, but as a system of doctrine, it was not proposed until much later. Now there is no such statement, including the mean, which has only gradually been valued since the Tang Dynasty.
But in the hands of Zheng Lang, it has pushed the mean to an insurmountable height, it is not a science, but also the "three" in Confucianism.
After reading some, Gao Ruone made some explanations, and then said: "I haven't written it yet, I am a leopard in the tube, and I have seen a little." ”
"His students are also involved?" Song Shou asked.
Lu Yijian gave him face, and he also wanted to give Lu Yijian face, and Zheng Lang's students had a son of Lu Yijian in it.
"Well, there are many articles written by his students, most of them are helpless, Zheng Zhizhou is very busy in Taiping Prefecture, not only Zheng Zhizhou, but also the whole state, from officials to ordinary people, hardly have a day off, this kind of diligence is also one of the reasons for the changes in Taiping Prefecture," Gao replied honestly.
Cai Qi asked a question: "Did Fan Zhongyan's second son participate?" ”
"The eldest son seems to be involved, and the second son is young, and now he is only learning knowledge."
Song Cai and the others asked these two questions very delicately, and if they were careful, they could see that a bigger rift was occurring in the court, but no one paid attention.
However, Wang Zeng said a fair word: "This son has done a good job, and it is not enough to be called a special zone." ”
A rare good word.
Zhao Zhen happily whispered a few words to the eunuch, the eunuch left, and after a while, he brought a lot of things with the palace people, including sugar, quilts, and all the ministers were not enough, and a few bigwigs could still be satisfied with one bed per person.
Looking at these jackets and sugar, more than 20 bigwigs were speechless.
Zhao Zhen asked Gao Ruone again: "Gao Qing, you have said many times that the city of miracles, can it reach the scale of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the future?" ”
"No, Suzhou and Hangzhou have a large population, fertile territory, and a long history, and every year in addition to the various franchise income of the imperial court, there are more than one million dollars in other money, silk and grain tribute taxes, no matter how large the sugar workshop is, the income will not exceed this number, and cotton candy is just the beginning, and the popularity of time is not obvious, but Zhuwei is together, there are benefits of fish and rice."
"But it's also a miracle."
"Exactly, the old minister also thinks that it is indeed a city of miracles, as the people say, almost out of nothing."
Wang Zhaoming suddenly bowed down and said, "The minister still has one more thing to report. ”
"What's the matter?"
"These sugar cotton were forced by the minister to pay tribute to Zheng Zhizhou."
"Why persecution?"
Wang Zhaoming told what happened, and several prime ministers had black sweat on their faces, which is also persecution? But it's still full of irony.
However, this change finally made all the ministers of the DPRK and China finally pay attention to it, a very practical moderation, a city of miracles, who dares not to pay attention to it! The bigwigs left excitedly, but Zhao Zhen sat in the palace thinking about it.
This is to be promoted in a state, but if a country can it be promoted?
Then he sighed: "Too small, too small." ”
It's not small, but it's impossible to be a prime minister at this age. How much of a role will it make if he does not serve as prime minister and recall the capital? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen was both happy and bitter......
