Chapter 409: Finding Friends (Part II)
Xiao Su continued to think.
Wang Ju is letting go today, there is no way, if he wants to do things, he must find friends, and he wants to find friends like Xiao Su. So his mind must be said to be "open".
"Is no one really aware of the harm of annexation? The tyranny of the Qin Dynasty is not counted, and I am not counted as the usurpation of the country by relatives of the Western Han Dynasty. What about the Eastern Han Dynasty? In fact, Wang Mang's change of law is also harmful! And then to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, what was the rebellion of Sun En? In our dynasty, what was the rebellion between Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun? β
Not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in later generations.
Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter, don't you know? But why are there so many "lead the way"? Why are there so many banana people attacking their home country? If there really isn't a strong mother country, they will live with more dignity?
It's the same thing!
"All you see is that there will be commotion, but do you see a real crisis? The Liao State is a little better than the Western Xia, but it can't be called honest, for example, when the Song and Xia went to war, why did they Chen soldiers Youyun? Why did the annual coin change from 300,000 to 500,000? Not to mention the Western Xia, no matter how many coins they give, they have never been honest! However, this accumulation is undoubtedly a big powder bag. If the arrears are not resolved for a day, the crisis will not be resolved for a day. His Majesty and Jiefu Gong must be solved in a short time, so if they don't make money, what other good way can they have? β
Xiao Su began to get depressed.
"Let me say one more thing, Zheng Baiqu is not boasting about me, he has done a good job. But is it done? No! Why, and listen to me, in order to reduce troubles and conflicts, I didn't really check the hidden field, but just forced them to turn the hidden field into a clear field. In addition, I take them to pay attention to business. Hidden Tian became Ming Tian, and he paid more taxes, okay, the problem is here. They are overtaxed, but because they are well irrigated, their income is actually increasing. Shift to business, wealth accumulation is faster. That is, the richer they are, the richer they are. β
"I will say again about the poor people, because I have allocated some of the newly acquired arable land, and I can irrigate it, and I can breathe a sigh of relief, but this land is limited, and although there will be a good harvest, the state tax will inevitably be tilted and increased in the future, so that I can barely maintain a modest life. But what about disasters? Even if you are in a disaster, you can protect yourself. Twenty or thirty years later, as the population grew, there was no longer enough land. But a handful of others are amassing even greater wealth. In the face of difficulties, the merger began again. Brother Ziyou, you will understand what I said. It seems that I have done a good job, but in fact, it is only a symptom, not a symptom, and it still buries a super big fire pit for the future middle-aged and poor people of Zheng Baiqu. In this way, after I left, there were still many heroes who were dissatisfied with me. β
"This is still the benefit of Zhengbai Canal's irrigation, if not? The son is a brother, just do nothing, the beneficiary may not be grateful for doing something, and the victim will inevitably hate. But if you don't do things one by one, how can you get it. Do you want to continue to let this accumulation develop, and finally 300 million, 500 million, 1 billion? At that time, the world will rise, I don't know where you and I will go? Brother Ziyou, what are you going to do, rebel against the traitor, or let the traitor kill him? β
Xiao Su said angrily and funny: "That's impossible." β
"Impossible? Now there are more than 13 million households, and if this trend continues, it will take 40 or 50 years to reach 20 million households. The merger is so powerful, 20 million households, how likely do you think I am talking about? β
"What then?"
"Brother Ziyou, when you look at these changes, you can't look at the law, but look at the back of the change. The country's two major crises, one crisis is the current arrears and empty treasury, think about it, the British Empire, His Majesty has no money, had to pay only one-third of the reward, Hebei is in drought, the country is left to fend for the victims, last year the Yellow River two execution embankment, the economy slowed down a little, but His Majesty also had to take out the pearls and spices in the treasury to sell for disaster relief, once Liaoxia joined forces with the whole country to attack, what kind of finance to resist the enemy? When it comes to benevolent government, they all want to be benevolent, but if they don't have money, what can they use to be benevolent? β
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
"Brother Ziyou, it's good that you can care about the future of the country, at least I feel that you are nobler than the rich man."
Xiao Su laughed and laughed.
"But I can't blame you, you don't know the truth. Therefore, the most urgent task of the state is to fill this deficit so that the treasury has a slight surplus. β
"Is it right to collect money?"
"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, I'm sorry, and finally I came to a result, and that's right. But the correct way to do it is how to correct it later. I'll talk about Sang Hongyang again, originally this is a name that is easy to forget, because Jiefu Gong changed the law, and it has been mentioned repeatedly during this time, and they are all said to be villains and traitors. However, Brother Ziyou, if there is no Sang Hong Yang, can the economy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty be restored, and if there is no foundation laid by Sang Hong Yang, can there be the rule of Zhaoxuan? Huo Guang is very remarkable, but put him in the state politics of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the later period, to see if he will have a good strategy to turn the finances around? But the reason why I say that he is great, the great thing is that he put away some of the shortcomings in the Sang Hongyang reform in a timely manner. You and I have little qualifications and low status, and I am not a stage for you and me for the time being, so why rush. The wisest thing to do is not to participate, not to argue, not to quarrel, but to watch and think, so that after you and I grow up at the same time in a few years, we will join hands and learn from Huo Guang to put away some of the shortcomings in the reform in a timely manner, and wait until the country's finances turn around, and slowly put an end to some of the methods that really belong to the real wealth accumulation. That's what the wise do. β
"But I'm in the Ordinance Division."
"Don't worry, you have repeatedly opposed Jiefu Gong, how long will Jiefu Gong let you stay?"
"But you're also in the Ordinance Division." Xiao Su made Wang Ju angry again.
"Don't say it, I'm struggling to see how I can decline this position."
"You're not involved either?"
"Now that I have participated, what qualifications do I have to participate in the harvest in the future? Do you want me to be duplicitous, the kind of person who has no discipline? β
"Haha," Su Zhe and Zhang Zai were happy at the same time.
"However, I am not involved, but I understand Jiefugong. Actually, I'm doing some of it. β
"I know a little bit about this."
"There are things you know, but you can't think of."
"What?"
"For example, in the southern kapok, what you see is that I collect money for the imperial court, but with the development of the south, the population will move to the south, and it will be spontaneous. It's also a way to evacuate population pressure, and I'm still thinking about other ways. Wang Judao.
This has to be thanks to the Song Dynasty.
Because the Song Dynasty was relatively liberal in its internal governance policy, there was no closure and blockade, and there was no prohibition on population movement, so the population did not reject movement. It was under these circumstances that the Southern Song Dynasty once placed the city in the Strait of Malacca.
Otherwise, there is a good way, and the people in the closed policy environment are originally a nation that misses their homeland and is unwilling to leave their homeland, so there is only forced migration, and how troublesome it will be to forcibly relocate. Take a look at the results of Cao Cao's forcible relocation of the people of Hanzhong to Guanzhong.
Let's look at the Tang Dynasty's many edicts to encourage the people to move to Kuanxiang, did it succeed?
The cost of forced migration is too great.
But if this southern migration is successful, it will be an excellent test example and will be extremely useful.
Xiao Su was surprised: "No wonder Jiefu Gong issued an edict ordering the southern states of Fujian Road to move the fifth-class households to Guangnan. β
"Order?"
"The edict just issued."
Wang Ju wanted to pat his head, and was thinking about the disadvantages of forcibly relocating, here!
This Wang Anshi is really crazy when he accumulates money. Understand, understand, the year before last year was persuasion, and many people passed, but this was spontaneous and voluntary, and the number was still far from meeting Wang Anshi's needs. Since it is a money-making business, why not simply forcibly relocate people. One is for the benefit of the country, and the other is to find a way out for these lower fifth-class households.
However, can there be any good things when it comes to forced eviction?
Not only that, Wang Ju snatched Wang Anshi's Fangchang Hedu, but he didn't completely snatch it, that is, the liquor tax, most of the state capitals in the country are profitable, but there are a few states and counties that are not in a good situation, or not much profit. This is also a problem of poor management of officials and officials, it is difficult to cure it radically, or it is difficult to return to the time when it is difficult to return, so it is better to simply pass the whole county and the whole county through the actual sealing and casting method, and the income of the higher price is operated.
That is, all the non-performing assets of the Song Dynasty will be auctioned and leased together, plus some profits from gunpowder, and the final income will be an astonishing figure. But these unclear assets are also very troublesome to count, one is to count, and the other is that the official must make a good valuation before it can be auctioned, so it takes a long time, at least three or four years to be roughly counted.
This controversy is not big, and if you even oppose this article, then the country really doesn't want to do it?
Wang Ju couldn't help but sigh.
However, what to do, let's accommodate, anyway, there will be a lot of lice in the future, and I am not afraid of itching.
"Zi'an, listening to your words today, I fully understand that this qiΔ is for the purpose of collecting money, so there is no doubt."
"But Brother Ziyou, although it is to collect money, the resentment in your heart has dissipated."
"I wonder when?"
"In the past few years, I haven't wanted to stop," Mr. Wang said. The first is the arrears, the second is the opening of the river, the third is that the Western Xia invaded from time to time, and some of it was allocated to the military spending, and Wang Anshi's changes were not pushed out at one time, this year, next year, the year after tomorrow, and the year after tomorrow, so until the seventh year of Xining, I am afraid that the finances have not really reversed, but the drought has arrived, and the disaster relief is not effective, so that the opposition can find a reason to attack. That is, seven years to Xining, five years later, the finances have not completely improved.
But this life is different, I am pushing in advance, and there are also two real open sources of cane sugar and cotton, I don't know if it will be better by then. Moreover, I don't know what Zhao Ji thinks, he wants to run Western Xia, even if he persuades him, Wang Anshi, Zhao Ji will not stop the pace of accumulating money.
God knows.
But Wang Ju's words changed: "But then again, in the past few years, do you and I have the right to speak?" When the time comes, we also have the right to speak, and wouldn't it be better and wiser to speak again? β
"Ziyou, Zi'an's words, you should listen to them." Zhang Zai interjected.
"Teacher, not necessarily, maybe someone forgets their true identity and wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and go along with some powerful people."
"Don't make fun of me," Xiao Su said.
"Then relieved?"
"Not relieved?"
"Okay, relieved, let's have a bar." Wang Judao. He also values Xiao Su for his reasons, one is that Xiao Su's position can be wooed, and the other is that when he was in the imperial examination in the capital before, the two had dealings, and the relationship was not bad, this is the foundation.
Wang Ju is looking for friends, and Lu Gongzhu is also looking for friends.
Wang Anshi has always shown favor to Lu Gongshu, but Lu Gongshu didn't take it seriously, this mentality is not right, southerners are bad people? Wang Anshi was not easy to mess with, and in a fit of anger, he replaced him with Yushi Zhongcheng, disgusting Lu Gong. LΓΌ Gongbi was forced to resign, but Zhao Ji made an exception and did not agree, and continued to keep LΓΌ Gongbi in Xifu. But is that really the end of the matter? No. As long as Lu Gongbi stays in Xifu for a day, it will not be easy for Lu Gongbi to be impeached for a day. On the other hand, as long as Lu Gongzhu stays in the Yushi Observatory for a day, Lu Gongbi will be embarrassed for a day and will not be able to do things. An appointment sealed Lu Gongbi's mouth and tied Lu Gongbi's hands and feet!
However, Lu Gongshu is also not a character to be messed with.
Therefore, he quickly saw a person, an amazing person, Cheng Hao.
Why should you find a friend?
Look at the Qingli New Deal, are Fan Zhongyan and others really remarkable? They are just some magistrates, and the real bigwigs are Zhang Dexiang, Du Yan, Lu Yijian, and Yan Shu. The comparison between the two is like the gap between Lu Huiqing and Fu Bi Wen Yanbo now!
Why can they succeed in ascending to the throne, they formed a group and advocated each other, so the gentleman is here, and the gods abdicate the throne.
Later, the failure was that the New Deal had no specific strategy, and only where to suppress dissidents, and Han Beom split, so that political opponents found an opportunity to defeat them. In fact, the situation at that time, as Ouyang Xiu's party theory wrote, villains do not become friends, gentlemen can become friends, it is the gentlemen's party that becomes friends, and the so-called villains really did not form a party.
However, failed? It was the Qingli New Deal that failed, and their political life did not fail, because of this kind of gang, one by one they quickly came to power again.
and then to the Puyi dispute.
Han Qi is so powerful, there is Zhao Shu behind him, and Ouyang Xiu in front. The reason why Yanchen fought evenly with the three of them was precisely because Yanchen had formed a gang, although his status was far inferior. However, there is power in numbers. Sheng dragged Zhao Shu to death, and Pu Yi did not really implement it.
Now the opposition is actually really terrifying, with Sima Guang as the hub, stringing together several daunting lines, the first main line, by Sima Guang, Lu Gong, Wen Yanbo.
The second main line, Sima Guang, LΓΌ Gong, Fan Chunren, LΓΌ Xu.
The third main line, Sima Guang, Fu Bi, Wang Gongchen.
There is also the fourth main line in the future, Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu.
The terrifying four lines, if you talk about qualifications, everyone can explode the current Wang Anshi for 108,000 miles!
But the net is still expanding.
Zhang Zai's ascension has nothing to do with Wang Anshi, but Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo is not easy to come forward, so he asked Lu Gongshu to recommend it. However, to their disappointment, Zhang Zai was not very repulsive to the change, so he did not stand with them.
I won't change my position for the sake of wealth, I have the discipline, and Wang Ju respects it, but it's the same thing in the officialdom, sooner or later I have to go home and farm!
It can't win over Zhang Zai, but there are still some famous figures in the Confucian altar, such as Dacheng.
Dacheng Fengchen Pupu came back from below, Wang Anshi summoned him, and the two of them spoke. But Zhang Zai didn't say that the well field system was over, and Dacheng still threw the well field system out. Of course, Wang Anshi also wants to make a well field system, everyone has the same amount of cultivated land, and it is not allowed to be bought or sold, and it is not allowed to be transferred, and the merger problem will be solved. But can the well field system be implemented, so Wang Anshi was very disappointed, and only gave the identity of a secretary provincial author Zuolang. He was disappointed, and Dacheng was even more disappointed.
Lu Gong's summons came at the right time! R1152
