Chapter 619: La Niña
So what else can be said.
However, Wang Ju added: "Your Majesty, the princes, the Liao monarch is mediocre, and he reuses traitorous ministers, so it is just a matter of skin, and when the disaster passes, the court strengthens its vigilance, and it will be safe." ”
How to be vigilant, Wang Ju didn't bother to say.
Border Army, Border Army! I've said it several times.
"But it is mainly domestic, since ancient times, the way of governing the country, based on morality, supplemented by law, strong and powerful, for the rich and unkind, just by forced apportionment is not enough. It is still necessary to focus on persuasion, let them do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, not to support the Bodhisattva, but to treat the poor people well, at least let them have food and clothing, then there will be no rebellion, the country can last for a long time, and their children and grandchildren can enjoy eternal happiness. Otherwise, once the country is in turmoil, there will be a strong enemy in the north. Our dynasty will surely perish quickly. As for these powerful people, they will also have nothing. Therefore, under the clouds, under the nest, how can there be eggs? ”
Zhao Ji shook his head.
Everyone understands the truth, but who can do it?
Therefore, if we want to impose propaganda, if we don't publicize it, if we don't encourage it, how can we get these people to do good spontaneously? Or as Wen Gong said, rule the world with scholars, not with the people. What do you mean, are the people dogs? Once such a statement is formed into an orthodox understanding, rather than the Qi people as stated in the ancestral family law, the state will be more strictly annexed, and the powerful will not pay taxes and will be more unkind to the rich. Our dynasty will also perish sooner. ”
In short, what Wang Ju said today is a bit offensive.
However, these truths have to be laid out, and those who are concealed can only be worse.
However, several people smiled bitterly, and Wang Ju and Wen Yanbo were on the bar. If Wang Ju knew that Cheng Fang was forced by Wen Yanbo and his ministers. Died of grief and indignation. I don't know what it's going to be like.
"陛xià. One that doesn't brainwash...... A country that propagandizes is not destined to become a good country. In the propaganda of previous dynasties, the three outlines of Confucianism, the quiet and inaction of Taoism, and the cause and effect of Buddhism in the afterlife without contention with the world are actually the strategies of fooling the people in the final analysis. This is also like what I said earlier, one is to block the water, and the other is to guide the water. The higher the water is blocked, the higher it gets, so there are no other external factors, because the court lasts for a long time. The population is dense, and the annexation of Yan zhòng has produced the likes of Zhangjiao and Huangchao. ”
"That can be said to be far away, and then I am heading for a place. In that year, Wang Quanbin Pingshu, because he did not restrain the soldiers, led the old soldiers of Bashu to rebel, and later got the cooperation of the local squires to quell the rebellion. Since Emperor Taizu did not promote the policy of Qi people to Bashu, what is the policy of Qi people, not the equal distribution of land and property. Rather, they are all united in the law, and the master must not abuse his customers. It is also not allowed to imprison customers in order to give customers more life. However, Bashu is different, the main household is extremely cruel, and the people in the side households are not happy, and even the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the trilogy. So let Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun rebel. In the end, after the rebellion was put down, because many of the main households let Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun kill them, and the land was divided equally. The imperial court also tacitly ignored the land divided equally between the two of them, but after so many years, the dozen or so turbulent state troops of that year became the area with the least land contradictions in our dynasty because of this equal division of land property. ”
This is the wisdom of the ancestors, replacing the foolish people with Qi people, and replacing prevention with guidance. In fact, this is the case, the poverty of the people at the bottom is not what His Majesty imagined, the minister did well in Quanzhou, and some of the extremely poor people encouraged them to go overseas with the maritime merchants to re-plan a new way out. Then, taking advantage of the expansion of maritime trade, the people were encouraged to open more workshops, and when there were more workshops, the country would have commercial taxes and feed more people. However, there are still many poor people who are not clothed and hungry. Therefore, the minister thinks that His Majesty should examine the real ancestral family law and the policy of the people. It is not something to rule the world with scholars, not to rule the world with the people. Once it becomes a final conclusion, becomes a national policy, and becomes the object of propaganda, the country will soon die. ”
"In addition to publicity, there are also some policies to implement. In fact, when the ancestors said that the people are together, it is not the ancestors who created it, but the people that the master said do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality. For example, the Wa Kingdom on the other side of the sea, such as the Western Xia, they are far poorer than our dynasty, but the intensification of contradictions may not be much stricter than our dynasty. This is not an equal distribution of land and property, but an equal policy. Mergers are allowed, but they cannot be done with usury or forged land bonds. Merchants can, but not to avoid taxes. You can be promoted, and you can make political achievements to get promoted, rather than relying on gangs and touting each other to get promoted. ”
"Try to create a level playing field, farmers have to work hard if they want to get more food. If businessmen want to make more money, they need wisdom to obtain information, build boats before rain, and build cars before droughts. If a scholar wants to be a scholar, he can only rely on hard study and knowledge to get on the list. In fact, the poor are not all good people, some people are idle, lazy and lazy, such people are poor, it is self-inflicted, if the state goes to help, but it will help this bad atmosphere. Some rich people take the initiative to pay taxes to benefit the township and help the poor and widows, and such a rich country cannot be suppressed. This is the real Qi people. Some people say that I buy the hearts of the people, some people say that I have political achievements, but they are all wrong, and Weichen is nothing more than the implementation of the real ancestral family law and the way of Qi people. ”
Well, if I am ambitious, it was Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi who taught me to do so. If I have political achievements, it is also the teaching of Zhao Da and Zhao Er, and it has nothing to do with me.
This statement is too far ahead of its time.
There was silence in the hall, and they didn't know what to say.
However, one by one, I have to admit that there is indeed some truth.
In fact, it is better to fool the people, or to gather people, which is nothing more than to make the people not disappointed in the country.
As long as you are not disappointed, then there will be no uprising, and the country will be long-term.
Then the question is to ensure that the people are not disappointed in the country.
In fact, Wang Ju's intention was nothing more than to put on a legal cloak for his political ideas.
Wang Anshi said at every turn that there were three emperors and five emperors, and there were many learned people in the Song Dynasty, including archaeology, and the questioning of some pseudo-scriptures was produced in the Song Dynasty. Think about it, how many people completely believe in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?
So some conservatives talk about the ancestral family law, okay, let's talk about the ancestral family law together.
But Wang Ju only said some methods, and did not say specific "techniques", and it didn't work until he took the throne. If you don't get it right, it will make Lu Huiqing dissatisfied.
Serious things matter.
Wang Ju went to Xifu.
How exactly to deal with it. You have to know some information about Liao.
Then he looked through the dossier and was dumbfounded. Asked: "Duke Chen, Duke Wu, Duke Cai, Duke Wang, Duke Zeng, haven't you been on the other side of Hebei all these years?" ”
Think about it when Song Taizu was in power, the Liao State had not yet sent troops, and the news was in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, the 60,000 cavalry of the Liao State arrived at the border of Hebei, and Tian Qinzuo also arrived with 3,000 cavalry. It can be seen that the intelligence is well-informed.
But now there is almost no Liao intelligence in Xifu. The records about the Liao State are not even as much historical knowledge as Wang Ju remembers.
Cai Ting sighed and said: "That's why I said that Hebei should put the generals and ministers, not the generals, in case of the invasion of the Liao State, the country will really be in danger." ”
Lao Cai was not simple, but his body couldn't keep up, and soon after he went to court, he fell to the ground because of dizziness. Zhao Ji persuaded Cai Gong. Let's rest.
Lao Cai had no choice but to pay tribute.
Then Wang Shao went down again. Xifu is another group of corpses and vegetarian meals......
"So I recommended Zhang Zhifu to His Majesty."
If it weren't for Wang Ju, now Zhang Qi has gradually ascended to the throne, and Qin Fenglu is promoting the official position of Changping envoy, and he is relieving the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi. Of course, it is not as important as the current official position. That's the governor of Hangzhou, Fuzhou, the world.
Wang Ju paused and said, "Duke Wu, Duke Cai, immediately issue an order to the border ministers, asking them to send scouts to inquire about Yanyun of Liao, whether there is a drought with the Western Xia side, and what is the severity." ”
"Zi'an is right," Wang Shao said.
It is necessary not only to guard against the Liao State, but also to guard against the Western Xia. Western Xia was beaten so badly by Wang Ju, when Wang Shao sent troops to Hehuang, he still sent troops to help Mu Zheng. This is a country that never knows how to repent and does not want to be settled.
As for the Liao State, if the drought is severe, they will also have disaster relief, where will they send troops. If you don't send troops, you don't have to make huge concessions.
Wu Chong immediately wrote an edict.
The Spring Festival is gradually coming.
Wang Juzhang talked about his sister's marriage, and first bought a house near here, and the Gao family's house was too small. More than 13,000 were spent.
And then there are the various other dowries.
It's not Wang Ju alone, it's all like this. Including Zhao Hao's imperial brother Zhao Hao, because he has many daughters, he is worried about the dowry. This is Wang Ju, if it is another family, and there is only one baby sister, I don't know how much to marry.
However, the Gao family is also worried, they can't really eat soft rice, and besides, what qualifications does their son have to eat soft rice. So I borrowed money everywhere.
The second girl complained.
Wang Ju is also afraid that they will be usurious, so it will be sad.
Therefore, in the form of dowry, 20,000 Jiaozi were placed in the basket to allow the Gao family to purchase a dowry.
On the other hand, he set a family affair for the third brother, a lady with a surname, his father is a petty official of the third department, I heard that his wife is also loyal, this doesn't matter, Wang Ju paid attention to the little lady, looking at the appearance, it is also a small jasper look, Wang Ju has no objection.
Then after being teased by Qiongniang again, this family affair was decided.
New Year's Day is coming.
The Liao State sent Yelu Ning, Li Yixun and Yelu Yongzheng and Li Zhicai to congratulate Zhengdan.
Before they arrived, news from both sides also reached Xifu. Zhao Ji will call to the Yanhe Hall to discuss the matter.
The first piece of information was that there was also a drought on the Khitan side, starting from Yunzhou and ending in Luanzhou, Pingzhou, on the shore of the Bohai Sea.
The second case was from the Western Xia side, where it is said that the grass and trees had died and the sheep and horses had nowhere to eat, so the commander of the overseer army grazed cattle where there were rivers on the edge of China. However, the drought situation should be slightly better than that of the Song Dynasty, so for a time, because of the lack of food in the Zhulu Han Dynasty in Shaanxi, Liang Yibury sent people to lure familiar households with money, and some familiar households really escaped.
"The drought is even more severe than the minister thought." Wang Judao.
Lu Huiqing said: "If it is not a change in the law, but like in the early days of Xining, the country has no money, grain and grass, and there is such a great drought, and the country will be fierce." ”
Zhao said, "This is the earl...... Nino? ”
"That's just a minister's speculation, but it's not an El Niño, it's a rare La Niña, and if it is, in addition to a severe drought storm in the north, there will also be a cold winter."
"Huh?" Zhao Ji first opened his mouth wide, and then ordered the eunuch next to him, the eunuch went down. After a while, I brought the books written by Wang Ju, and one of them was dedicated to the two extreme weather of La Niña and El Niño.
If this book is not written, then it can only be said that Wang Ju is hindsight, and it is obvious that the winter in the capital is very cold this year.
But this book was completed in the first half of last year, and the winter before last year and last spring were not yet cold winters, so it is very convincing.
Zhao Ji had read it, and now he looked at it again, and sure enough, he recorded what Wang Ju said.
He looked at Wang Ju with some surprise: "This is really a strange science. ”
He also said: "Indeed, not only is it cold in the capital this winter, but there are a small number of people in Shaanxi who are frozen in the wilderness in the entire northern rain, wood and ice. ”
There was no way around this, so he could only issue an edict and constantly draw out supplies to go to various places for disaster relief.
However, Zhao Ji deliberately pointed out this article, that is, this catastrophe is not what everyone says, and it has something to do with the change! At least the Liao State and Western Xia did not change the law.
"Is there a way to prevent it?" Zhao Ji asked again.
"If you continue to study it, sooner or later there will be a way to prevent it, but now Weichen can't. Knowledge is accumulated step by step, not out of thin air, and it cannot be given out of thin air, otherwise it will be an evil art of pretending to be a god and a ghost to deceive the people and the country. However, Jingyi is the avenue of governing the country and the people, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but this kind of knowledge is also a small way to assist Jingyi in governing the country, not some strange skills, and I hope that His Majesty will pay attention to it. ”
Wang Ju repeatedly said that it was a trail.
Can't be a saint, Wang Anshi is actually a bit stupid to do that, don't talk about Zhao Ji, even if Liu Bei is the White Emperor Chengtuo, it is also forced. And if Fu Jian completely believes in Wang Meng, how can he come from the defeat of Weishui?
Looking at the super powerful minister Qin Hui again, isn't Zhao Gou afraid of it? Zhang Juzheng, isn't Song Shenzong afraid of it? But no matter whether these two people are good or bad, when did they use the scriptures and meanings they annotated as the assessment content of the imperial examination?
But Wang Ju paid attention to the following news and sneered: "The Xixia people are not honest again. (To be continued......)
