Liu Kaijiang went through the original story.

Qiong Niang listened on the side, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied and said: "Liu Shengzhi, you are too slanderous of officials." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's what I taught him to say." Wang Judao. However, when it came to Confucianism, Wang Ju thought for a while: "Shengzhi, if possible, you can ask the scholars over there to find a way to re-study Confucianism." ”

"Huh?" Liu Kai was surprised.

There are many scholars over there, most of them are those who don't even fail the exam, and even many people don't even get the lift, and they are hired by Wang Ju one after another. No matter what you learn, you must first be literate! The more literate people there are, the faster civilization will be there.

Both sides are Han people, but compared with the two sides, the cultural level over there is indeed very backward, most of them are extremely poor people, how many can they be literate? Even if they are literate, there is no such thing as a talent.

But if you want to develop into a high level of civilization, you must have many people who are literate and literate, so Wang Ju attaches great importance to education there, but the same education, the educational goals are different.

However, how can this be done by re-studying Confucianism?

Wang Ju thought for a while and said: "I will re-interpret Confucianism with some of my teacher's Confucian concepts, and we should focus on one another, which is to highlight the relationship between opposites and mutual interactions. ”

Liu Kai was stunned for a moment, what Wang Ju said was Zhang Zai's Guan Xue, establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, going to the Holy Succession, and opening peace for all generations (Wen Dada changed it to the Holy Succession, so it became a Succession to the Past, every time I wrote, it was always strange in my heart), under the secret preaching of Wang Ju, it has now almost become a well-known four famous sayings in the Song Dynasty.

But what is this mutual interaction between the other party?

"Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Use the law of the Legalists to maintain the order of the country, and use Confucianism as a table to educate the people, and the actual Confucianism has been since the Han Dynasty. It has deviated from its original true meaning, and what stands out is only respect and return, rather than the return after paying. For example, if a father and a son are husband and wife, what the Master hopes for is that the parents are kind, the children are filial, and the parents are kind to their children. Children are willing to be filial to their parents when they are old, which can constitute a warm transmission from generation to generation. The husband sings the harmony of the woman, and the husband sings the song that the woman likes. Only when a woman is willing to sing with her husband can the family be harmonious and everything prosperous. Therefore, the Book of Rites. In "Rites and Fortunes", it is said: What is human righteousness? Father's kindness, son's filial piety. Brother Liang. Brother, husband, woman, Changhui, Youshun, Junren, and loyalty. This husband's righteousness is what I said the husband sang. The woman listens, which is what I call the woman's peace. Junren. Ministers will be loyal. Subjects love the people, and the people support the officials and obey the officials' decrees. ”

"That's a good point." Liu Kaidao.

There were some officials in the Song Dynasty who were basically able to do this and love the people, but not many, why? What everyone thinks about is not the filial piety of the father and the son, the brother and the brother, the husband and the righteous woman listen, the elder and the young, the gentleman and the minister, but respect, the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife, that is, the king in the mouth of the people wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die. Okay, the official is the parent official, I am your parent, let you die, you have to die!

With this kind of mentality, can you still love the people?

"Shaobao, I understand your intentions, cast a peach and repay it." Liu Kai said.

That's about what it means, but it's much more complicated than that. To put it simply, the reason for giving is to give back. For example, when I do a good deed, I want to repay the good name and gratitude to others. When I bribe officials, I want them to take care of me, and of course, this must be punished by law. Because he is evil, what he wants to return is even more evil. When I sow rice seeds in the spring, I want to harvest a lot of rice in the fall. But when I have received help from others, I must have the obligation to repay others according to my own ability. This is interaction. Of course, there's more to it than that......"

Just like the moral standards of the Celestial Empire, it is not ignorant to find gold.

How many people can achieve such noble sentiments?

Not many people can do it, so how can this kind of moral standard be enforced?

As a result, instead of implementing it, I didn't dare to help the old lady who fell, I was really afraid of being blackmailed. And the judge who enforces the law asks openly, it wasn't you who knocked it down, why do you want to help it? Why do you have to pay for her medical bills? And to judge this inexplicable reason as a law!

So instead of promoting this kind of morality, morality is becoming more and more corrupt!

Wang Ju doesn't know who took the lead in promoting the gold collection, doesn't he know the story of Zigong's ransom and Zilu's oxen? So many elites, less than an ancient man more than 2,000 years old!

However, Wang Ju's mutualistic interaction is very complicated to interpret seriously, and it is not as simple as helping people, it is equivalent to overthrowing most of the later Confucian respect at once.

But because it is overseas, it is like a newborn baby now, blank, and Wang Ju is not afraid of causing controversy.

Liu Kai was still reminiscing, and Wang Ju said again: "Let's promote the three princes again." ”

"What is the Three Princes?" Liu Kai asked again.

"The legislation is just, the punishment is just, the judgment is just, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people!"

"Fairness, give the people a fair chance to survive, such as the same tax, the field tax and the commercial tax, the same rate of the tax, such as the selection of people, do not ask about the cheap, the amount of talent and virtue, if there is great merit, you can grace a child, but only one person, if the child has great merit in the future, you can be graced again, if not, this is the end."

"This ......"

"Katsuyuki, I know what you want to say, but I'm afraid that some people won't be able to accept it. But have you ever wondered why in our dynasty, there is a saying that pavilion officials are noble? The reason is that it is nothing more than that you can often see the official family, and it will leave an image for the official family, so when the official family chooses people, they often choose the pavilion and cabinet officials first, and it is easy to go out of the land. In fact, what I am talking about is fair, and it is impossible to be fair, the children of the upper class, regardless of education, knowledge, wealth, connections, etc., so that they don't know how many steps higher than the children of the poor family at the starting point, just like the imperial examination of my dynasty, it is very fair, but how many children of the poor family are really famous in Donghuamen? But what percentage of the children of the poor family are scholars? In fact, it is already unfair not to deliberately suppress the rich and noble. ”

The folk proverb says that you can't be rich for three generations, which shows that it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.

But have you ever thought that once you are rich can live three generations. Five generations, ten generations, and generations of accumulation. How. Soon the poor became poor, and the rich became rich.

Therefore, Wang Ju originally planned to introduce an inheritance tax, but thinking about everyone's thoughts now, this inheritance tax is undoubtedly too advanced, so he did not mention it again.

Liu Kai began to ponder again.

In fact, none of these principles are very complicated, but they are a little ahead of their time now.

"The last male. It is justice. For example, taxes should be fair, taking into account both public and private interests, and should not be too high. In order to reduce the pressure on the people, it should not be too low, so as to protect the government's expenditure, but the government should also take the initiative to save spending. Save on floating fees. In order to further reduce the burden on the people. ”

"Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant politics?"

"Actually, I can't be regarded as redundant officials, such a big place, there is always a need for many officials, the main reason is that the cost of supporting officials is too high, especially for senior officials, just like I am now a year of various salaries and benefits, reaching more than 10,000 yuan, how many people have to be able to feed? Besides, I'm not really a top official. ”

"That's true. Some low-level officials are not well paid, and they can only support their families......" Liu Kai sighed slightly. In fact, Wang Ju has said similar topics many times before. For example, reading in the Song Dynasty, what is reading for? Not to further open up wisdom, but to be an official, for the golden house, for the beauty of the incense car, Song Zhenzong said! As a result, some nerds read desperately, and the whole family was dragged down to the sea, but how many people were named in Donghuamen? Besides, the roll call Donghuamen does not mean anything, and it must be within the top three, so that it can be assigned to a good official position. As for the fourth and fifth grades, they are often on the bench for more than ten years, and they may not be able to wait for a bad officer. There is no bad official, just an official, which means that there are no various benefits, no benefits, only salary, and you can really only support your family.

Even if there are bad officials, how many officials can enter the top level? Most of them are also low-level officials.

Therefore, some officials are greedy for ink, and some officials let their families do business and merge......

How can the country be completely well-off?

Wang Ju continued: "Justice also includes other things, such as merchants, why did I give a quarter of the deed shares of the bamboo paper workshop to the children of the Gao family, there is no Gao family, just a few merchants in Yanzhou, not only will they face endless harsh taxes, the government officials may also change their methods to extort, in addition, the local tycoons will also reach out to extort when they see the profits." You can't survive if you don't make a profit, and you can't survive if you make a profit. ”

This is also a malaise of the Song Dynasty, and it is a malaise more than 900 years later......

This is to make a law, and to use the law to put an end to these ugly phenomena, so that everyone can live in a fair and fair environment. Of course, it is not necessarily the fault of the government, and the merchants themselves will be unfair, such as all kinds of hoarding. There is nothing wrong with hoarding itself, but it depends on what it is hoarding, if it is the basic livelihood of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it must also be severely punished. ”

What Wang Ju said may be the overseas system in the future, the "ancestral family law".

"When you get over there, let's discuss it again and make them perfect."

"Whoa."

None of this is in a hurry, Wang Ju said another thing: "But let's do another thing first, issue silk coins." ”

"Silk coins?"

"There was some gold and silver saved, and the gold and silver were used as a standard to issue silk coins. Silk must use the best silk, and then print and dye exquisite patterns, the best silk silk does not come from a place, the pattern is as complex as possible, in case others imitate. The denomination should also be a little smaller, and the first is five, ten, twenty, and fifty, with twenty inlaid silver wire and fifty gold wire. The amount issued at the beginning did not have to be excessive, tens of thousands were sufficient, and it was tested in several densely populated settlements before the experiment, depending on the reaction of the people, and increased as appropriate. ”

"It's going to be costly." Liu Kai said worriedly.

"I'm just going to make it deliberately costly, preferably as high as it is close to the currency itself, so that people can recognize it. It's not like I'm a piece of paper, so the people don't treat them as currency. Although the cost is high, if you think about it, how many copper coins can I mint in a year, and these copper coins have turned some of them into bronze objects such as bronze mirrors and statues for profit, and some of them have been circulated to foreign countries. Although according to my method, the amount of silk coins is not high, but like silver, it will have a good effect on making up for the shortage of money. If the silk coin is recognized by everyone, will it be very convenient to carry? And it's about another use......"

"Gyeongju Development Fund?"

"It has something to do with it."

In fact, it is to explore the experience for the bank.

If you want to launch a bank, you also need to have a well-thought-out system. Otherwise, there will be a leak. The other most important thing is currency.

Wang Ju originally counted on the silver of the Wa Kingdom, but the output is still not very high, so Wang Ju thought of the light Jiaozi again.

But this Jiaozi. There are many questions.

In particular, a circulation cannot be controlled. And no one has a deeper understanding of economics, even Xue Xiang can't do it, and Wang Ju can't do it. Therefore, from the king to the common people, they do not know enough about money.

So from Wang Anshi's hands, Jiaozi began to gradually depreciate. But how many times it was issued, it was only a million or hundreds of thousands. In the huge economic aggregate of the Song Dynasty, it was simply drizzle. But why did it depreciate?

In fact, it was good at the beginning, because of the lack of currency in circulation, many merchants used tea and salt as currency transactions, and Bashu merchants issued their own jiaozi. In this context. Liu E and Zhang Yong presided over the "official relationship" of Bashu. Issued five to ten two kinds of Jiaozi.

This is a terrific step forward.

However, because of the Qingli War, the country lacked money, and many merchants took Jiaozi to Jiaozipu to exchange, but the government forcibly exchanged the new for the old one, which caused everyone to misunderstand, and exchanged it for a piece of paper. Reality is a piece of paper, and when everyone agrees, it is currency. When you don't approve it, what is the difference with paper? That time caused the price of Jiaozi to plummet. It was only slightly relieved later. Wang Anshi changed, and also reformed Jiaozi, making its denomination smaller, and becoming consistent and five hundred wen. This would have been a good thing, but Wang Anshi would have been over-flicked for every reform...... Jiaozi has also been plucked.

Although the amount has become smaller, which is more conducive to circulation, the number of issuances has become more frequent, and it has become biennial. When there is no sufficient copper coin exchange, it is still hedged with Xinjiao, and after hedging, 30 yuan of the capital of Jiaozi will be deducted for each run, that is, it is not exchanged for cash flow, but 3% of the handling fee is paid. As a result, Jiaozi's credibility began to decline again. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, fifty or sixty million guanjiaozi could be issued each session, and it was even more flooded.

However, fortunately, Wang Anshiyan plucked the hair and increased the number of times, but soberly limited the amount of each line issued, and the upper limit should not exceed 1,256,340 yuan, so although it depreciated, the proportion was not too large.

Of course, you can't blame Wang Anshi, Zhao Ji said a sentence: "Doing a good job, sincerity is a last resort, if there is a legal system, and the financial use is sufficient, then there is no need for this, and it is not possible now, it is a matter of urgency and difficulty."

I don't want to issue Jiaozi, and I don't want to use new Jiaozi to hedge against old ones, but what if the currency is insufficient?

This is the actual situation, but in this way, without credibility, Jiaozi can only depreciate.

Therefore, Wang Ju thought of the silk payment, so that the cost of the silk payment is similar to its actual cost, if you get enough silver two, with the copper coin, the combination of three, everyone will gradually recognize, then there will be no front to get the Jiaozi, the back immediately go to the Jiaozi shop to redeem the copper coin. Gradually, the exchange of silk coins could replace copper coins, and the state only needed to reserve a small amount of silver or copper coins in the state capitals.

Moreover, it is more difficult to manufacture silk cloth on a large scale overseas, but in the Song Dynasty, with the output of silk silk in the Song Dynasty, it is easy to obtain millions of silk exchanges a year.

With sufficient money, a solid foundation can be laid for the establishment of a bank.

However, if you want to set up a bank, it is definitely not that simple.

However, compared with banks, overseas management and systems are even more troublesome.

Wang Ju frowned, thought for a while, and said, "That's all." ”

What's the perfect system? It can only be said that one step at a time is one step.

Huang Hua said on the side: "Shengzhi, Li'er will be handed over to you." ”

Li'er is not dead.

This is also an accidental event that inspired Wang Ju.

Wang Ju used troops in Dali, there are several reasons, Dali is withdrawn, and some barbarians sandwiched between the Song Dynasty and Dali will become a little more peaceful. But this reason is really not sufficient.

Dali's strategic position, what if Yuanmeng can continue to rise? Even if the Northern Song Dynasty would not perish, when the Yuan and Meng Dynasty rose, the Song Dynasty would be in decline for many reasons, including the population crisis, the huge clan pressure, the more serious annexation, and the upper class was more civil, Tian and Wuxi, which was also the inevitable result of the imperial system. So at that time, as long as Yuan and Mongolia rose, it could still threaten China's safety. Unless every emperor agrees to move the people overseas in large numbers, the population will always be kept to less than 20 million households. And every emperor can at least do Zhao Ji's step, not so mediocre. But this is not possible.

But this reason, for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, will not be recognized.

And Wang Ju didn't dare to say it.

In addition, Wang Ju is also longing for great unification in his heart......

For Zhao Ji, I believe he will like it too, but there will not be many ministers who support it.

Without him, the management cost is also.

When there is reunification, it is necessary to govern, and to govern it is necessary to dispatch officials and officers and men. Not to mention that if the officials do not handle it properly, it will immediately lead to a large-scale rebellion, even this cost is also a problem. In such a large area, it is necessary to put a lot of officials and officers and soldiers to control it, which requires a lot of money, and if the local people are dependent on taxes, the people are overwhelmed, and there will be a large-scale rebellion. If you don't rely on the local people to pay taxes, it will undoubtedly increase the burden of the people in the mainland, so there is a saying, Zhao Kuangyin used a jade axe to draw a dotted line on the Dadu River on the map, and it is not owned by me.

However, Wang Ju was very suspicious, although Wang Quanbin destroyed Shu at that time, he made Sichuan into a miasma, and there were uprisings everywhere, what power did he have to operate in the west and south?

Bashu has eased up, as well as Nantang and Hedong.

Song Taizong took Hedong, but he confronted the giant of Liao, and then the military generation is not as good as the generation, that person has the heart to think about Dali?

That's why there is Zhao Ji's edict, think twice, don't be impulsive.

Wang Ju had no choice, so he wanted to find a real excuse. It happened that Guizhou found a case of Menghan medicine, and a group of people saw that there were many merchants on both sides of the Lingqu, and they used Menghan medicine to pour many merchants, robbed a large amount of goods, and killed five businessmen and eleven followers.

Wang Ju was very curious about this sweat medicine, not because he wanted to use it to harm people, but because he wanted to use it as an anesthetic for soldiers to heal their wounds. So he asked the thieves to confess the formula of the sweat medicine, and then asked his subordinates to imitate the recipe and use one of the thieves to experiment. As a result, the thief was really drunk, and he didn't know what to do, and his face turned blue, as if he was in shock.

It looked very scary, so Wang Ju had to find a few doctors to analyze the formula, saying that it was poisonous and made people faint.

However, Wang Ju estimated that some of the medicinal materials did produce an anesthetic effect, and the combination of anesthesia and poison produced the effect of this strong sweat medicine. This must not be used as an anesthetic, Wang Ju was faintly disappointed. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea.

Then Wang Ju found Liu Kai, Liu Kai was one of the important stewards in charge of Dali's trade, but not only to buy horses and cattle, but also to inquire about intelligence, and some other arrangements. Because of his outstanding performance, Wang Ju was also ready to let him go overseas with the ship in the autumn, in any official position, to manage a larger settlement.

Wang Ju asked him to stop the affairs in hand, and according to the aesthetic concept of the barbarians, he selected Li'er in Guizhou, secretly brought it to Yongzhou, and let Huang Hua claim to be his daughter. Anyway, Huang Hua is not a big man, and the Song Dynasty will not pay attention to anyone in Huang Hua's family before. Waiting for the arrival of the Dali envoy, he took him to Dali and deliberately hanged himself by taking advantage of the ugly marriage customs of the Yetho Department. In fact, he took this toxic sweat medicine and was in a state of semi-shock.

After Huang Hua and his entourage left the backward town, they poured water and antidotes, and Li'er woke up.

Then let Liu Kai secretly take Li'er and the little maid overseas secretly.

But there are excuses.

Wang Ju immediately sent a letter to the imperial court, and I didn't want to use soldiers, so I sent an envoy to persuade Dali to be a minister, and because the Wuman tribes were loyal to the Duan clan, I asked my most trusted servants to marry his only daughter to the son of the chief of the Yetho tribe as a gesture of goodwill.

But as a result, people looked down on the Song Dynasty at all, looked down on His Majesty, and looked down on the ministers, resulting in this shameful night of the cave room. The minister had no choice but to use soldiers.

As for the two generals Kumamoto and Miao Liu and the three thousand Sichuan soldiers and five thousand Tibetan cavalry he requested, the imperial court sent it better, and there was no hope if Wang Ju was not sent.

Liu Kai left, and Qiong Niang asked: "Official, since you want to use troops in Dali, why do you let the thirty-seven barbarians gather, wouldn't it be more difficult to defeat them?" (To be continued......)
