Chapter 676 Excuses(1/2)

Liu Kai talked about it all the way.

Qiong Niang listened at the side and couldn't help but say dissatisfaction: "Liu Shengzhi, you are too slandering the officials."

"Don't talk nonsense, I taught him to say this." Wang Judao. However, when talking about Confucianism, Wang Ju thought for a while: "Surprise it, if possible, ask the scholars over there to find a way to re-educate Confucianism."

"Ah?" Liu Kai was surprised.

There are many scholars over there, most of whom are not even expected to pass the exam, and many of them are not even able to pass the exam, and they are successively hired by Wang Ju. No matter what kind of study, they must first be able to read! The more people who read, the faster the civilization will be.

Both sides are Han people, but compared with the two sides, the cultural level there is indeed very backward, most of them are extremely poor people. How many people can have knowledgeable books and literacy? Even those who are knowledgeable, there are no talented people.

But if you want to develop into a high level of civilization, many people must know their books and literacy. Therefore, Wang Ju attaches great importance to education there, but the same education has different educational goals.

However, how can I do this by re-educating Confucianism?

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "I will re-edit Confucianism with some of my mentor's Confucianism concepts. In addition, we must focus on one thing, and highlight the relationship between opposition and mutual interaction."

Liu Kai was stunned for a moment. What Wang Ju said was Zhang Zai's Guanxue, which established his mind for the world, established his destiny for the people, inherited his unique knowledge for the sages, and opened peace for all generations (Wen Dada changed to inherited his unique knowledge for the sages, so they became the sages together. Every time he wrote, his heart was always strange). After Wang Ju secretly sent someone to promote it, it has now become four well-known quotes in the Song Dynasty.

But what is the interaction between the other party?

"Since Emperor Wu of Han, the law of the Legalists has been used to maintain national order and Confucianism as a representation to educate the people. In fact, Confucianism has deviated from its original true meaning since the rise of Wu of Han. What highlights is only honor and reward, not reward after giving. For example, father and son, the master hopes for parents to be kind. Children are filial to their children, and their parents are kind to their children, so that their children are willing to be filial when their parents are old, which can constitute a warm transmission from generation to generation. Harmony. A husband sings the song that a woman likes, only a woman is willing to sing with her husband, only a family can be harmonious, and all family can be prosperous. Therefore, in the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, "What is righteousness in a man? A father is kind, a son is filial, a brother is kind, a brother is kind, a husband is righteous, a wife listens to, a long and compassionate, a king is kind, and a minister is loyal. This husband righteousness is what I call husband singing, and a woman listens to. It is the harmony of a woman I call. Only a man is kind, but a minister will be loyal. Only a minister loves the people, but the people support officials and obeys the officials' orders."

"It's well said." Liu Kai said.

Some officials in the Song Dynasty could basically do this, but not many, why? What everyone thinks is not the kindness of the father, the son is filial, the brother is good and the brother is kind, the husband is kind and the wife listens to, the elder is kind and the young is obedient, the king is kind and the minister is kind and loyal. Instead, the king is kind and the minister is kind and loyal. The king is kind and the minister is loyal, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. In other words, the king is the minister who says that the minister wants to die, the minister has to die, the father has to die, the son has to die, and the son has to die. Well, the official is the parents' official, and I am your parents. If you let you die, you have to die!

Can you still love the people if you have this mentality?

"Young Bao, I understand your intention. Give it a peach and repay it with a pity." Liu Kai said.

"That's probably what it means, but it's much more complicated than this sentence. To put it simply, the reason for giving is to repay. For example, when I did good things, I wanted to repay a good reputation and to be grateful to others. When I bribed officials, I wanted the officials to give me some care. Of course, this must be made of a law to severely punish them. Because he gave it evil, what he wanted to repay is even more evil. I sow rice seeds in spring, I wanted to harvest a lot of rice in autumn. But when I got help from others, I had to have an obligation to repay others under my own abilities. This is interaction and interaction. Of course, it has more meanings..."

Just like the moral standards of the Celestial Empire, it is worthless to get money.

How many people can achieve such noble sentiments?

How can few people implement this moral standard if they can do it?

As a result, the old lady who did not implement it, but did not dare to help her fallen, and she was really afraid of being blackmailed. Moreover, the law enforcement judge was openly questioning that it was not your fault. Why did you help her? Why did you pay her medical expenses? And use this inexplicable reason to make a judgment as the law!

So instead of promoting this kind of morality, morality becomes increasingly corrupt!

Wang Ju doesn’t know who took the lead in promoting the promotion to get money. Don’t you know the story of Zigong redeeming people and Zilu taking cows? There are so many elites, less than an ancient man who has been more than two thousand years!

However, Wang Ju's interaction is very complicated to interpret seriously, and it is not as simple as helping others. It is equivalent to overthrowing most of the later Confucian honors.

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

Liu Kai was still savoring, and Wang Ju said again: "I will promote the three masters again."

"What are the Three Dukes?" Liu Kai asked again.

"The legislation is fair, the punishment is fair, the judgment is fair, and the judgment is fair, and it is not based on wealth, poverty, and the prince breaks the law and is the same as the people!"

"Fairness gives the people a fair chance of survival, such as tax equality, land tax and commercial tax, all tax rates are equal, such as selecting people, not asking about the noble and noble, but using them as a measure of talent and virtue. If you have great achievements, you can be kind to one child, but only one person is allowed. If your children have great achievements in the future, you can be kind to continue. If there is no, it will end here."

"this……"

"Shengzhi, I know what you want to say, because I am afraid that some people will not accept it. But have you ever thought about why there are officials in our dynasty that are the most important? Why is it that we often see officials and leave a response to the officials. Therefore, when choosing people, the officials often choose officials first, which is easy to be popular. In fact, what I mean by fairness is not fair. The children of the upper class, regardless of education, knowledge, wealth, connections, etc., make them not know how many steps they are higher than those of poor families at the starting point. Just like the imperial examination in our dynasty, it is very fair, but how many poor families really play the title of Donghuamen? But how many poor families account for the proportion of scholars who study? In fact, it is already unfair not to fight and suppress wealthy families."

A folk proverb says that wealth can last for three generations, which means it is difficult to start a business and stay a business even more difficult.

But have you ever thought about how it will be great once you can accumulate three, five, ten, and generations. Soon, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer.

So Wang Ju originally planned to introduce an inheritance tax, but think about everyone's current ideas, this inheritance tax is undoubtedly too advanced, so he did not mention it again.

Liu Kai began to ponder again.

In fact, these principles are not very complicated. It’s just that nowadays, it’s a bit ahead of time.

"The last public is justice. For example, the tax should be fair and both public and private. It should not be too high to reduce the pressure on the people, nor to be too low to protect the government's expenditures. However, the government should also take the initiative to save expenses and save floating expenses to further reduce the burden on the people."

"Red-off officials, soldiers and governments?"

"Actually, my dynasty cannot be considered a redundant official. In such a big place, many officials are always needed. The main reason is that the cost of raising officials is too high, especially senior officials. Just like I am now paying more than 10,000 yuan a year, how many people do I have to support me? Besides, I am not a real top official."

"It is true that some low-level officials are not paid high. They can only support their families..." Liu Kai sighed slightly. In fact, Wang Ju has said similar topics many times before, such as what did the Song Dynasty do? It is not to further open up wisdom, but to be an official, a golden house, and a beautiful woman in the fragrant car. As a result, some nerds read desperately, and the family dragged them down the sea, but how many people sang the name of Donghuamen? Besides, sing the name of Donghuamen does not mean anything. They have to be in the top three. Only then can they be assigned a good official position. As for the fourth and fifth grades, they may not be able to take the candidate for more than ten years. There is no candidate for the candidate, but only official positions. It means that there are no various benefits, no benefits, only salary, and only those who can only support their families.

Even with a special official, how many officials can enter the top level? Most of them are still low-level officials.

Therefore, some officials are greedy, while some officials let their families do business. Mergers...

In this way, how can the country be completely better?

Wang Ju continued: "Justice also includes other kinds, such as businessmen. Why did I give a quarter of the concession stocks of the bamboo paper workshop to the Gao family? Without the Gao family, just a few merchants in Yanzhou will not only face endless harsh taxes, but the officials and clerks may also try to extort them. In addition, local tyrants will also extort when they see profits. They cannot survive without profits, and they still cannot survive if they make profits."

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

"This requires the formulation of laws and the use of laws to eliminate these ugly phenomena so that everyone can survive in a fair and fair environment. Of course, it is not necessarily the fault of the government, and merchants themselves will be unfair, such as various hoarding products. Hoarding products itself is not wrong, but it depends on what they are 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 future overseas system and the "ancestor's family law".

"When you get there, everyone will discuss it and make them perfect."

"Here."

Without any rush, Wang Ju said another thing: "But get another thing done first and issue silk coins."

"Silk coins?"

"I saved some gold and silver over there. Based on these gold and silver as the standard, silk coins should be issued. The silk must be made of the best silk, and then printed and dyed exquisite patterns. It is best not to come from one place. The pattern patterns should be as complex as possible to prevent others from imitating it. The denomination should also be smaller. First, there are four types of five, ten, twenty, fifty, fifty, twenty, and fifty, twenty-six inlaid silver wire and fifty inlaid gold wire. The amount issued at the beginning does not have to be too much. Tens of thousands of chunks are enough. First, experiment with several densely populated settlements to see the reactions of the people, and increase them as appropriate."

"This will cost very high." Liu Kai said worriedly.

"I just make it intentionally costly, and it is best to be as high as the currency itself so that everyone can recognize it. Instead of being like Jiaozi, a piece of paper, so the people do not regard them as currency. Although the cost is high, think about it, how many copper coins can I cast in a year, and these copper coins have turned some of them into bronze mirrors and bronze statues to make profits, and some of them have been circulated to foreign countries. Although according to my method, the amount of silk coins cannot be high, just like silver, it will have a good supplement to the insufficient currency. If you use silk coins, will it be very convenient to carry them? And it also has another purpose..."

"Gingzhou Development Fund?"

“It has something to do with it.”

In fact, it's just exploring experience for the bank.

If you want to launch a bank, you must have a careful system, otherwise you will lose money. The most important thing is currency.

Wang Ju originally relied on the money from Japan, but the output is still not very high so Wang Ju thought of the lightweight Jiaozi again.

But this Jiaozi has many problems.

Especially the issuance volume is uncontrollable. And no one has a deeper understanding of economics, even if Xue Xiang is not good, Wang Ju is not good. Therefore, from the king to the people, there is insufficient understanding of currency.

So from Wang Anshi's hands, Jiaozi gradually depreciated, but the amount of each release was only one million or hundreds of thousands of yuan. In the huge economic output of the Song Dynasty, it was simply drizzling, but why did it depreciate?

In fact, it was good at the beginning. Because of the lack of circulating currency, many merchants used tea and salt to trade as currency, and the merchants of Bashu issued Jiaozi themselves. Against this background, Liu E and Zhang Yong hosted the "official exchange" of Bashu, and issued two types of Jiaozi, five to ten cents.

This is an amazing progress.

However, due to the Qingli War, the country lacked money and silk. When many merchants held Jiaozi to Jiaozi Shop for exchange, the government forced the exchange of the old exchanges with the new ones, which caused everyone to misunderstand that it was a piece of paper. In fact, it was a piece of paper. When everyone recognized it, it was currency. When it was not recognized, what was the difference between it and paper? That led to a sharp drop in Jiaozi prices, which was later slightly alleviated. Wang Anshi changed and reformed Jiaozi, which reduced its denomination and changed it to two types of traditional and five hundred documents. This was originally a good thing, but Wang Anshi's reforms of 70% would geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass by and geese pass

Although the amount has become smaller and further facilitated circulation, the number of issuances has become more frequent, becoming once every two years. When there is no sufficient exchange of copper coins, the new money is still used to hedge. After the hedging, 30 cents of Jiaozi's capital was deducted for each stake, which means that it is not exchanged for cash flow, but instead paid 3% of the handling fee. Therefore, Jiaozi's reputation began to decline again. By the Southern Song Dynasty, 50 million Jiaozi could be issued at each stake, which was even more rampant.

Fortunately, Wang Anshi Yan passed the hair and the number of times increased, but he clearly limited the amount of issuance in each bank, and the upper limit should not exceed 1.256,340 stakes, so although the value was depreciated, the proportion was not too large.

Of course, we cannot blame Wang Anshi, so Zhao Xu once said: "If you have a legal system and have enough money, you don't need this. Now you can't do it, so you will be in a hurry and have to go through it."

I don’t want to issue Jiaozi, and I don’t want to use new Jiaozi to hedge against old Jiaozi, but what should I do if I don’t have enough money?

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

Therefore, Wang Ju thought of paying silk, so that the cost of paying silk is similar to its actual cost. If you get enough silver and combine it with copper coins, everyone will gradually recognize it, and then there will be no situation where you get Jiaozi in the front and go to Jiaozi shop to redeem the copper coins immediately. Gradually, the silk payment can replace copper coins. The country only needs to reserve a small amount of silver or copper coins in each prefecture.

Moreover, it is difficult to make silk trades overseas, but in the Song Dynasty, with the production of silk from the Song Dynasty, you can easily obtain millions of silk trades a year.

Only with sufficient currency can a solid foundation be laid for the establishment of a bank.

But it is definitely not that simple to set up a bank.

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

Wang Ju Ning raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "That's all."

So what is the perfect system? I can only say that taking one step at a time is counted.

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

Li'er is not dead.

This is also an accidental event that brought inspiration to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju used troops to Dali for several reasons. When Dali was taken back, some barbarians sandwiched between the Song Dynasty and Dali would become more stable. But this reason is indeed insufficient.

What if the Yuan Meng can continue to rise in Dali's strategic position? Even if the Northern Song Dynasty did not perish, when the Yuan Meng rose, the Song Dynasty would have been in decline for many reasons, including population crisis, huge pressure on the royal family, more serious annexation, and more civil and military play, which was also the inevitable result of the imperial system. So at that time, as long as the Yuan Meng rose, it could still threaten China's safety. Unless every emperor agreed to migrate large numbers of people overseas, always keeping the population below 20 million households. Moreover, every emperor could at least do this step to Zhao Xu, which was not so stupid. But this was impossible.

But this reason would not be recognized by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

And Wang Ju didn't dare to say anything.

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

For Zhao Xu, I believe he would also like it, but there will not be many ministers who support it.

There is nothing else, the management cost is also the same.

If unified, it is necessary to govern, and governing requires the dispatch of officials and soldiers. Not to mention that if officials handle the matter improperly and immediately cause a large-scale rebellion uprising, this cost is also a problem. In such a large area, many officials and soldiers must be placed in order to control it, which requires a lot of money. If the local people pay taxes, the people will not bear the burden and will also cause a large-scale rebellion uprising. If the local people don’t pay taxes, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on the mainland people. Therefore, there is a saying that Zhao Kuangyin used a jade axe to draw a dotted line on the Dadu River on the map, and it is not my own.
To be continued...
