Chapter 19: The Three Rules
"Please tell me in detail." Zhao Xu sat upright.
Including this time, he only talked with Wang Ju three times, but every time Wang Ju brought him reflection and surprise. In some aspects, Zhao Xu had already regarded Wang Ju as a half-teacher and half-friend in his subconscious mind.
However, his father is only in his thirties and dare not think too much.
"I will use this bamboo paper as an analogy. Once the production is produced next year, seven or eight hundred craftsmen will be hired to do the work. This means that seven or eight hundred households have no worries about food and clothing. Not only that, it also needs to purchase a large amount of tender bamboo. People who do not have work can go up the mountain to cut bamboo. Then at least thousands of households, or even two thousand households, and three thousand households, will improve their lives."
"This makes some sense..."
"Also, when life improves, they can buy some clothes and daily necessities, and they will invisibly support many people. They donated ten thousand chunks of paper, and many students have paper available. And the court can get a lot of commercial taxes. This is because there is no wealth in all work."
Zhao Xu was pondering, and he still felt something was wrong.
"If you produce it, you have to sell it, otherwise you will lose money together, and the workshop will be dumped and there will be nothing left. Therefore, this year, you will ask Duke Wen, Su Ziyou and Zhang Zihou to write essays, poems, and essays, and then spread it. This is all businessmen."
"No, your workshop has started, but the other workshops have been poured out." Zhao Xu finally remembered.
"It is the case on the surface, but it is not. For example, the rice paper in Huizhou, except for tribute paper, has a small output and is very small in quantity. It is taking the high-end route and has nothing to do with bamboo paper. Therefore, high-end paper will not be affected. However, ordinary paper will inevitably be impacted."
"That's the reason."
"But Your Highness, I will ask again, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the country's income was less than 30 million, and our dynasty collected more than 100 million. Why should the people's lives be slightly better than the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhao Xu was confused again.
"In fact, the reason is simple. I also use this paper as a metaphor. Ordinary paper will be impacted and some workshops will fall down. But without bamboo paper, many workshops will not have emerged in that year, and many workshops will fall down. This forces them to develop, improve quality, and reduce costs. Then paper will become cheaper, more and more people will use it, and sales will surge. Just like inkstones, Duan inkstones are still Duan inkstones, and ordinary people can only use ordinary stone inkstones, brick and tile inkstones, and clay inkstones. This is the role of industry and commerce."
“Inflate…?”
“Make it bigger.”
But the business of the Song Dynasty was even more unstandard, just like bamboo paper that wanted to survive and had not yet started production, so I would first pull Gao Shiqing from the Gao family, otherwise I would not know how many demon moths would appear in the future.
But Wang Ju dared not say that this should directly point to the core of feudal rule and the official-oriented idea!
A great politician must follow the rules in the first process. When he first started, if he didn’t follow the rules, he would die. This is true for most officials.
Then, when you use the rules, you can get ahead, make profits for yourself, and implement some political changes, such as Lu Yijian.
Pang Ji moved from the first step like the second step. In the post-Zhao Zhen era, it can only be said that Pang Ji was the most capable, but he lacked Lu Yijian's perseverance and means, and before he could complete this process of degeneration, he let everyone continue.
The third step is to trample on the rules, such as Mr. Deng...
He is one of the most successful people in history, and he can almost count it with his fingers.
Wang Anshi is also moving towards this step, but he has not succeeded in regressing.
Why do we say that we want to trample on the rules? If we want to reform, we have to break many old frameworks. It is actually a political revolution.
What is revolution?
Revolution is not a treat to a meal
Not writing articles
Not painting and embroidery
Can't be so elegant
So calm and gentle
So gentle, respectful, frugal
Revolution is riot
It's a class
Action to overthrow a class violence
This riot does not necessarily refer to war, but a cruel means of cleaning that cleans many beneficiaries out of the circle of power.
Otherwise, you should either learn from the rule of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, and make adjustments within the scope of everyone's tolerance. The disadvantages still exist, but all problems have been alleviated, at least delaying the onset of the crisis. In fact, Zhao Zhen also used this method to take charge of the government in the middle, but the movement and stillness are smaller and the time is slower. Although it is quieter, the effect is not significant. Therefore, when the health is not good in his later years, the crisis will emerge together. It is in Zhao Shu's hands and further deepened.
Zhao Xu was still pondering and finally said: "So that's the case, the industry and commerce of our dynasty are more developed than that of the Tang Dynasty."
"That's why the country's income has surged, and the people may not be worse than those in the Tang Dynasty. A country is like a person. Some have hair, some have limbs, some have eyes, ears, noses, and tongues, some have internal organs, and some have sores. It doesn't matter if a small group loses it, just like a person loses a hair, and even those sores are cut off in time is a good thing. But most people cannot lack it, and they must cherish them the same, including merchants. However, your highness must also remember that it can only induce it in secret, and cannot be said publicly. After all, it is scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. As long as it is made public, the storm caused will be even small."
"I figured it out a little."
Wang Ju smiled in his heart and thought it through, it was that simple.
And born in distress and died in happiness.
Didn’t the internal treatment of the Song Dynasty appear under the pressure of external troubles?
But what if there are no external troubles? Maybe it will collapse quickly like the Eastern Han Dynasty. After all, if there is so many people, it will be a crisis if this is not handled properly.
But there is no need to say this.
Who can solve the external troubles of the Song Dynasty? It is not only the Western Xia, but also the Liao Kingdom, the future Jurchens and the Yuan Meng people.
Imagine that it is unlikely that there are only a few Qiang people in the western border who are leaping on the road.
"Wang Ju, you must take the exam well." Zhao Xu said.
This is also the rule. A strange person like Zhang Qixian can only be reused by Zhao Kuangyi after passing the imperial examination. Otherwise, he would continue to stay at home.
"Try to do what you can, who is the examiner this time?" Wang Ju asked in the back lightly.
"It was Feng Jing, a Hanlin scholar, and Fan Zhen, a Hanlin scholar, and Shao Bi, a master, and the master, and the master, and the master, was appointed as the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the master, and the
The court has not yet issued the decision (official documents that were posted on the page), but it will be announced sooner or later, not confidential news.
But he didn't expect that this news was very important to Wang Ju.
The three of them talked for a while and left.
Even Zhao Xu could not come out for a walk casually. He also had homework and some invisible restrictions.
But on the way back, Zhao Xu was overjoyed: "Aunt, I finally understood why Taizu met Zhang Qixian and Emperor Gaozu of Han valued Zhang Liang."
"Xu'er, you can't talk nonsense, it will hurt him."
"That's right, he is still young, and he can't help growing while growing." In fact, if Wang Ju had no hidden reminder, he could recommend Wang Ju to his father.
But he immediately said in confusion: "This kid is very talented. I also heard that he went to Su Xun's mansion and only talked to Su Xun for a while. Su Xun invited his servants to serve tea immediately, and used the three words "invitation to serve tea."
Zhao Niannu was happy again and said with a smile: "Zhang Zai is not like this. He didn't want to accept him as his disciple, but Wang Ju broke in and only gave him six bows. Zhang Zai obediently accepted it."
Zhao Xu also laughed loudly and said, "He just came from that mountain corner, how did he learn these knowledge."
"The father gave him a lot of books, and it was not without previous examples. Jiang Ziya was not very down and out before meeting King Wen of Zhou."
"Yes," then Zhao Xu stared at Zhao Niannu.
"Don't look at me, can I still fight for my husband with others?" Zhao Niannu said angrily.
