Wang Ju looked at Fan Chunren and seemed to be smiling, which made Fan Chunren's heart furious, and said, "Taibao, ...... you look like this?" ”

"Fan Gong, didn't you say that money is not important?"

Fan Chunren was speechless.

"In fact, the state is right to levy taxes, but this tax should be levied reasonably, and by the way, I would like to say, it is a higher level than the people do not pay taxes and the state uses it for its own use."

"Is there such a realm?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's a tax increase."

Everyone wondered together.

"If the people only have the same income in a year, even if the court only collects 100 yuan, the people will feel a heavy burden. If the people can have a hundred yuan a year, even if the court levies thirty yuan, the people will still have a surplus. Fan Gong, do you care what I mean? The state will only throttle expenditure, and that is just a superior way of managing money and governing the country. The real way of financial management, in addition to throttling, there is also open source, this open source is not the kind of open source that Jiefu Gong said, but the real open source, the source is the people. If the people's income is tripled, and the tax is increased by two percent, it will not be a heavy burden on the people. ”

"If you want to make the people richer, you need to be guided intelligently by officials everywhere, but this is very difficult, besides, many officials themselves are just nerds, not nerds, and they are ashamed of their words, how to lead the people to be rich? Therefore, there is only the second method, the direct input of the imperial court. Just like I used more than 30 million yuan to repair water conservancy roads, although the imperial court spent a lot of money, many people benefited. ”

"Let me say one more thing, in order to compromise, I asked the seafarers to buy their goods from the powerful as much as possible, but why is this year different, the imperial court all the Su. All from the hands of merchants who pay Zhu money, that is, businessmen who have no power and no power? ”

"And in order to prevent some bad things from happening to the officials and the department, I deliberately asked His Majesty to issue an edict, first to estimate and estimate the imperial court, and then hand over the quantity of commercial goods to the merchants of each state in batches after entering the bidding price. Make a purchase again. ”

"In fact, the reason is very simple, the ancestral family law does not allow officials to do business, but various scholars and magnates, have sent their families to do business, the court prohibits endlessly, not only business, but also does not pay taxes, a few years ago the implementation of Qi business tax, had to be involved. Otherwise, the controversy will be loud, and this Qishang tax will not be implemented. Now that it is barely implemented, it is necessary to appease those merchants who have no power and power, not only pay the business tax truthfully, but also dare not abuse the artisan servants. In fact, these businessmen are the businessmen that the country really needs. Therefore, take care of it with a policy! ”

"If the imperial court can maintain this line of thinking and develop, more people will get rich by hard work and wisdom. The state will also pay more and more taxes, generating more surpluses. Especially in the Northwest, the amount of surplus will be a staggering figure. Then the state can extract these surpluses and use them to control the Yellow River, and it is a recruitment style to control the river, and after the Yellow River river work is completed, there will be the Qiantang River. Huai River, Jiangdong Wei, can also be built in the southwest of the Dugong weir project, then more and more people will become rich. A benign increase in taxes, a benign increase in state spending. The continuous circulation, the higher the water rises, the higher the boat, the greater the Song Dynasty can become more and more rich and powerful. ”

"Is it wrong to be light-hearted?" Li Qingchen was stunned.

"If it is a first-class household, can it be used for light and thin levy? Why did the conflict between me and Duke Wen intensify, it was this conflict of ideas, in his heart, no matter how much treatment the powerful and scholars enjoyed, they must not levy any tax. So what about state spending, throttling! Will throttling solve the problem? Li Gong, I don't believe that the state will halve taxes, and the extremely poor will still be extremely poor, but just a handful of rich people will become richer, that is, two small and one big, the country is poor, the people are poor, and the powerful are super rich, do you think such a country can last long? ”

"Okay, I'm not in the court, I'm not in my position, I won't seek politics, this has nothing to do with me, but I'll talk about this financial solution......" Wang Ju said his method again, and now only Zhao Ji and Cai do know, and the other prime ministers are not clear.

Wang Ju warned again and again.

It's a good plan, but now everyone's economic theory is not mature, in case the faint king is in charge, this method will be used, and the future will be endless.

"That's a brilliant idea," Mr. Li muttered.

"It's not a good idea, it can be implemented first, with the banking department, secondly, under normal circumstances, the country will generate a large surplus every year, without this premise, you must not implement this strategy, third, my requirements are too high, I want to stabilize the northwest all at once, otherwise, like the Han and Tang Dynasties, you can conquer, do not migrate the people, do not improve the local situation, then the cost will not be so much, but then, why use troops."

The financial problem was solved.

Later, Wang Ju was invited by Shen Kuo again, in fact, with Shen Kuo's director, there is no problem in the Ministry of Industry, but because of Shen Kuo's character and his performance in the battle of Yongle City, many scholars and doctors disdain him, and even think that Wang Ju is cronyism, that is, Shen Kuo is a sycophant.

Therefore, Shen Kuo is more attentive to the locomotive, and if it can succeed, then Shen Kuo can justify his position as a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

So Wang Ju returned to the capital, and Shen Kuo came to the door with all kinds of incurable diseases and asked Wang Ju for advice.

Seeing this result, Wang Ju was a little ridiculous.

He suddenly thought of another man, Newton once said, if I see farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

This sentence has been repeatedly quoted by later generations, and the actual truth is not at all what later generations propagated.

When Newton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, he had a conflict with his predecessor Robert Hooke, and later the conflict deepened, Newton wrote a letter to Hooke full of malice, in which he said: Descartes's optical research has taken a good step, and you have advanced many aspects of development. If I look a little further, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.

It seems that this sentence is very humble.

But the giant placed on Hooke was the greatest insult and ridicule, because Hooke himself was not tall and had a hunchback, that is, a short and ugly scientist who resembled a dwarf.

So this sentence should be answered in this way, and we stand on the shoulders of you clown dwarf. What's wrong with you!

Not only that, after Newton was elected president of the Royal Society, he ruthlessly banned Hooke, and even the portrait of Hooke himself was "lost".

Of course, this does not negate the greatness of Newton. Now Shen Kuo is also the same, if he can't succeed. That's the same thing, or I will write about Mengxi in the future, but it will be completely covered up by the brilliance of my own writings, and future generations will inevitably repeatedly evaluate some bad things about Shen Kuo. If it succeeds, then a handsome man can cover up a hundred ugliness, and he can still enter the ranks of great scientists.

…………

"Who are you?" A big man shouted viciously.

"This strong man, I took the big man of the owner out for a turn, and I happened to see Ling Lang playing at the door, and the big man saw that he was cute. I asked him what he wanted, Ling Lang's wish was to eat the sweet cake in the East Cake Alley, Da Lang had asked someone to buy it for him, there was no other malice, I don't believe it, you just stand here and watch. Wang Ju patiently explained.

After a while, a guard dressed as a civilian bought a large box of sweet cakes. and handed it into the hands of the big man's son.

The big man stared at them with idiotic eyes, and Wang Ju ignored them. He said, "Let's go further." ”

A large group of people spread out and walked forward for a while, just as a group of children were playing football.

"Your Highness, ask them again about their wishes."

"Okay," Zhao was absolutely convinced.

The scattered guards are inexplicable, could it be that the Taibao wants His Highness to know how miserable the lives of ordinary people are. Including the child's wishes are so small?

Zhao Jian strode over, although some of these children were two or three years older than him, he was not afraid, Wang Ju thought with relief in his heart, there was a little bit of Wang Ba's anger.

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand. Holding the ball, a big boy shouted, "Who are you?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, today my teacher has given me a topic, which is to fulfill the wishes of some teenagers of my age."

"Don't make a fuss." Another big boy said.

"It's true, don't believe it, it starts with you."

The big boy looked at Wang Ju behind Zhao Maid, and the two guards, and the others scattered, which was beyond the observation of this big boy.

Wang Ju and the two guards were smiling, and from beginning to end, they didn't interject, but Wang Ju handed over this almost unreasonable topic to Zhao Maid, and Zhao Maid's performance has always been perfect.

"Okay, I'll trust you, I want a new bow."

Ju is a leather ball, but it is slightly different from later leather balls, that is, although the outside is also leather, the inside is not hollow, but a solid leather ball stuffed with rice bran.

"You wait," Zhao Fu gestured to one of the guards, who walked towards the entrance of the alley, not far away, outside was the avenue, and there were many shops on both sides of the avenue, so he bought a new bow in a moment and handed it to the big boy.

This move made the group stunned, and Zhao Maid continued to ask another teenager: "What is your wish?" ”

"I want a pair of bow shoes, can you do that?"

That is, the sneakers, made of cowhide, coated with tung oil to make it not soaked in water, and at the same time there are iron nails that are non-slip, so that Wang Ju was very surprised when he saw it for the first time.

However, it is also very expensive, much more expensive than a leather ball.

"It can be realized," Zhao Maid did not tell the guard to buy it immediately, but folded a branch, wrote it down on the snow, and asked the second boy.

The guard beside Wang Ju said: "Your Highness is very talented. ”

Wang Ju nodded, anyway, it made Wang Ju feel much smarter than his son, but ......

However, Zhao Maid will be healthy in the future, and it can ensure that the Song Dynasty can be stable for decades, so it can only be so.

The children made all sorts of strange wishes, and a little girl wanted a new dress, but they were easy wishes to come true.

The big boy who finally started made a difficult wish, he looked at Zhao Maid and said, "I want to be a great general, can you realize it for me?" ”

The guard opened his mouth wide, thinking that this little guy had a big appetite.

Wang Ju seemed to be smiling, thinking that it was a good question, and finally someone asked.

Zhao Yu was stunned, turned his head to look at Wang Ju, and Wang Ju said, "Don't look at me, think slowly." ”

Zhao Yu was thinking in his heart, what did Taibao mean by this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is difficult to be a general, you must be proficient in martial arts." ”

"I can practice martial arts."

"And who do you train from? There are no good teachers. If you practice it yourself, you can't practice good martial arts. ”

"This ......"

"Not only martial arts, but also good martial arts can only be a commander, if you want to be a general, you must also be proficient in military books and war strategies, who do you learn from."

"This. Didn't you say that you want to fulfill this wish for me? The big boy couldn't answer, and said slyly.

"It's too hard to wish, what's your name?"

"You help me do it, and I'll tell you the name."

The interesting conversation between the two teenagers attracted many passers-by, but everyone just thought it was funny, and even thought that the gentleman was messing around with the family members, and they didn't care.

"I don't know what kind of military rank you mean by general. But the military position is an official position, this is an important weapon of the state, and it must not be arbitrarily awarded, in this way, I can give you a chance to realize your wishes, but whether you can achieve it depends on your own efforts, are you willing to work hard? ”

"I do. But if I work hard, can I become a general? ”

"As long as you're working hard. If I give you another chance, it will be easy to get close to this willingness, but if you want to really realize it, you also need to be brave and kill the enemy on the battlefield when you grow up. ”

"I'm willing, but what chance do you give me?"

Zhao Fu turned his head. looked at Wang Ju, but quickly shook his head, Wang Ju is Taibao, it is impossible, and Wang Ju may leave the year after tomorrow. It's even more impossible, so he looked at Pang Yaobin, the guard next to Wang Ju, Pang Yaobin is not only a guard, but also the head of the guard, and he usually likes to read, so there must be a big gap with Wang Ju, but how big the gap is, it is not what Zhao Maid can know now, but Pang Yaobin is enough, so Zhao Maid asked: "Pang Du...... Yaobin, would you like to teach him in the future? ”

"Listen to Dalang's orders."

Zhao Fu turned his head and said to the young man: "What is your name, where do you live, turn around, I asked Pang Yaobin to teach you martial arts and the art of war, but if you want to realize your wishes, the first step is for you to work hard." If you are still like today, you will bow every day, even if someone teaches you, it will not be possible to fulfill your wishes. ”

"Who is he?"

Wang Ju said: "He is the head of the forbidden army, and it is enough to teach you." ”

Then he looked at Zhao Maid and said, "Da Lang, you did a good job, but do you know why I asked you to do this?" ”

"Teacher, I don't know."

"You can see this wish as a dream, if this dream is just a piece of sweet cake, a new bow, a pair of bow shoes, a new clothes, it is easy to realize, but this dream is a big general, it is difficult to achieve, one must have opportunities, two must work hard, ten times harder than ordinary people, three must dare to fight with the enemy bloodily, four must also have talent, in order to stand out from hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, become a famous general. This is only a general, if this dream ......"

Hearing this, the people around finally realized that something was wrong, these are all great truths, and they are also very profound truths.

But at this time, Wang Ju lowered his voice and said in a very small voice in Zhao Fu's ear: "Your Highness, this dream is to create a powerful country in the future, how difficult it will be to make hundreds of millions of people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the enemy country fearful. Just like your father, the emperor, has worked hard all his life, but he has not yet won Western Xia, and he is still afraid of the Khitan. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Teacher......" Zhao Maid's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "So that's the case." ”

The two were talking, and the group of children asked Zhao Maid for a "wish", and Zhao Maid instructed another guard to immediately buy back the things these children wanted according to the words on the mud, and looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young man said, "Is he really the head of the forbidden army?" ”

Suddenly, a passer-by said, "That's Taibao." ”

Wang Ju immediately said, "Pang Dutou, you have arranged this young man." ”

If you recognize it, you have to leave immediately.

Then he took Zhao Maid's hand and walked forward, and the people behind him were still stunned, why did Taibao act like a subordinate, who was that nonsense little brat? It can't be said to be nonsense, looking at this little kid as calm as a little adult.

Finally, an insightful person said loudly: "That's Your Highness, Taibao deliberately taught Your Highness, it is difficult to be a general......"

He didn't dare to say the next words, but most of the people understood, it turned out to be His Royal Highness, no wonder he was so smart and calm that he didn't like words, but at this time, all the guards followed up and protected Wang Ju and Zhao Maid tightly, so these people didn't dare to chase, but some people crouched on both sides of the road, and the mountains shouted long live.

This is the sadness of the feudal dynasty, a good emperor is not enough, there must be a good heir, so that the country can remain prosperous.

Because of Wang Ju, the people will not hate Zhao Ji much, on the contrary, the people who love Zhao Ji account for at least eighty percent, but what the prince looks like, the people don't know. Now that I saw it, it seemed really good, so these people fell down the mountain excitedly and shouted.

Wang Ju's brain was sweating, he took Zhao Maid home, changed back into clothes, and immediately entered the palace with Zhao Maid.

Zhao Ji felt strange, and Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, today the minister is guilty......" (To be continued.) )
