In this era, how many people are the most representative.??

Wang Anshi, in his heart, had a strong country as the main force and the people as the auxiliary.

Zhao Xu was also in this mindset, so when the two met, they hit it off, but Zhao Xu also had to add one thing: The power of the monarch is the symbol of the country, so there was a check and balance technique.

Wang Ju is a bit similar, but in reality it is still different. In Wang Ju's mind, the people are dominant, and only the country is as fair as possible. When the people are rich, they will naturally support the country. The status of these two is even more important than the latter. Because the Song Dynasty does not seem to be like that, many advanced countries can be seen. If the government is incompetent and allows the people to live a poor life, even if the country is closed, sooner or later, the people will know the truth and eventually oppose the ruling class. But in the Song Dynasty, in addition to the Song Dynasty, there is also a country richer? Therefore, this justice is much more important than wealth, that is, the people are not worried about the lack of people but the unevenness.

In fact, there is no difference between a nation and a nation, because a nation belongs to all nations, and all nations are nations.

However, the three have one thing in common, that is, this people are all the people in the country.

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are different. They believe that the country serves the ruling class. What is the ruling class? That is, including emperors, scholars, and powerful people. Only those who are called people, as for common people... that's it.

The orderly and order of the superiority and order that Wang Ju ridiculed is actually this.

Also, the Party can represent the country and govern the country, but how to govern the country... set an example!

If you govern this country, plus an official-oriented idea, it is not called governance, but rule. Therefore, you have embezzled and bribed, used your power to seek personal gain, and you have enough money to enjoy yourself... Then don't say anything.

Therefore, Wang Ju is very repulsive of this official-oriented idea... but he conceals it better, so it seems to be closer to Zhao Xu's idea.

The key point is that Wang Ju and Wang Anshi are different. Wang Anshi is relatively tough, and Wang Ju is constantly compromising... In fact, everyone is wrong. Wang Anshi has always wanted to use compromises to exchange for success in the reform, but he has not found a good way to compromise. Wang Ju's compromise is an illusion. He has never compromised in the general direction.

The key point is that Wang Ju will go down. He seems to have to have power, trust and support, but in fact he is not nostalgic for power, wealth and honor. The more at this time, it is as Wang Ju thought when he came back. The smaller the suspicion, the greater the guilt.

The key is that Xiao Cheng has a relatively low status now. He is a prostitute and then Xiao Cheng. What do you all want to do?

So many keys...

Okay, Zhao Xu became more and more angry as he spoke: "Walking with the guests, the plum blossoms passed by, the north wind was like a knife. Thinking back then, the young man was chivalrous and immediately took his sword. The enemy even bowed his waist.

It is like the passing years, the wind and frost are washed, and the temples are already wet. It is a leisurely person who travels, and it is red for ten miles, like a painting of rainbow bridge.

Did you write it?

Is it really easy to make a leisurely trip to the Song Dynasty in recent years? Even if you travel for a leisurely day, Wang Qing may not have that time!"

Li Qingchen and others were thinking, it's over, it's over. This is Yanhe Palace. What else can the emperor end up like this?

Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, you are the lord..."

A little person is not worthy of your big fire.

Zhao Xu stopped reprimanding and whispered to Wang Zhen and Huang Lunu. The two ordered the guards to pull Xiao Cheng to the Kaifeng Prefecture prison.

It cannot be dealt with immediately, so Xiao Cheng has to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.

…………

Dozens of officials were puzzled, but they went to the royal house one after another.

According to the system, Wang Ju called these twenty or so important bosses to a banquet in a private house. It was unruly.

However, Wang Ju is about to go down, and what he said is the national affairs, so Wang Ju is not so worried.

Wang Ju stood at the door and welcomed these officials into the house one by one.

The priests of the three provinces, the ministers of the six ministries, the two ministers, the censor Huang Lu, and the other one Zhang Shangying. Now the status of the banking department is becoming more and more important, at least no less than that of the ministers of the central ministries.

But not only that, there are not many old guys in the future, so the main pillars of the Song Dynasty were Zhang and Zhang.

After the guest and the host and the guest sat down, Wang Ju first bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you. ·?h??"

So the class is everywhere, and the others are just everyone else, but Cai Que is nominal No. 1, so he has to say it deliberately.

Qiong Niang brewed tea one by one.

Wang Ju reached out and said, "Please use tea."

Everyone took a sip, and Wang Ju said again: "Introduce someone to you."

He slapped his hand and a middle-aged man walked out of it. Wang Ju said, "Duke Cai, he is a fellow townsman with you, and is from Quanzhou. His name is Yan Weiqing and his courtesy name is Ziyun."

"I have met Mr. Cai, and I have met Mr. Gong." Yan Weiqing respectfully bowed one by one.

Cai Que gave up slightly, which was considered a gift.

"Mr. Cai, everyone, he just came back from the other side and brought good news. Ziyun, tell me this good news to you."

"You guys, the other side is farther away, and 6 found two gold mines, which can harvest tens of thousands of taels of gold every year."

Zhang Shangying's eyes lit up.

"Tianjue, what did you think of?"

"In this way, the other side can provide more gold and silver to the Song Dynasty."

"For the sake of the banking department, merchants on the other side took the gold and silver on the other side, which once made some merchants complain about me. But the number of people on the other side was not large. As long as you find some gold mines on the farther side, as long as you bring back some silver from Japan, the remaining gold and silver obtained from trade can almost be circulated in our Song Dynasty."

Yan Weiqing had just returned from the other side, but the other side not only found two gold mines in the Americas, but also fought with a tribe. In the end, he paid dozens of warriors' lives to take down this tribe. He harvested nearly 100,000 taels of gold from this tribe alone. Even if there were two gold beds, the annual gold output exceeded 100,000 taels. But it must be said less, after all, the population on the other side was much more than those ministers of the Song Dynasty imagined.

Moreover, with the development of the other side, the wealth is not as good as the Song Dynasty, but ordinary people are mostly richer than the people of the Song Dynasty, and the demand for gold and silver is very large. Moreover, with the empty land and policies to stimulate population growth, the population expansion is much faster than that of the Nei6, so the demand for gold and silver will increase in the future.

There is no need to say this.

But everyone's eyes lit up.

Although the banking department performed well, the hidden danger has always appeared and was the shortage of gold and silver. The country has improved in the past three years and the demand for gold and silver has also increased. The simplest thing is, for example, marriage, at least some gold and silver jewelry must be used. A fourth-class family has to get married. It takes several taels of gold and silver jewelry.

This means that people's lives have improved, but if they continue to develop like this, it may become a new crisis.

"So in recent years, the banking department has not been allowed to print and dye silk again, regardless of whether the country still lacks money. Until the other side brings back a large amount of gold and silver through various channels, causing the price of gold and silver to fall slightly, the country can use taxes or other forms to hoard gold and silver and prepare to print and dye new silk for printing and dyeing... But I estimate that it will be at least ten years later."

"I have always said the importance of taxation. If the country does not have tax revenue, it cannot operate. But the role of this tax is to make the country operate. With the current income of the country, once the Xixia is pacified, it will inevitably generate a large amount of surplus after satisfying the operation of the country. The country needs some surplus in case of unexpected surprises. But if you learn from Emperor Yang of Sui and hoard grain reserves in Luoyang that can be supplied for 60 years, it will undoubtedly be inferior."

"So, I thought that this would allow people to be further lenient, rather than extravagant... For example, increasing the salary of officials, increasing the number of redundant officials, and overhauling some unnecessary civil engineering. This lenient, further abolishing all kinds of intensive and miscellaneous taxes. I have already talked about this, but there is another thing I haven't said, that is the Yellow River. With the current Yellow River. In fifty years, the riverbed in Hebei will be all raised. When the court does not do anything, it will be to change the Huai River."

In history, the Jin Kingdom entered the Central Plains and the Yellow River changed its course. It made the Jin Kingdom miserable.

"Therefore, at that time, we must vigorously manage rivers. The river management work is not as simple as constraining the Yellow River to Jishui. If so, I would have implemented it long ago. Regarding how to manage rivers, I wrote a plan and it has been preserved. According to what I wrote in the plan, it would cost a lot of money, but this money is indispensable, including planting trees on both sides of the Yellow River, a river-curved area in Xixia, to protect the water and soil from being lost. Fortunately, after taking over Xixia, we can control it from the source of the Yellow River, at least from the source of the deterioration of the Yellow River."

"But remember one thing: you can recruit people, but not serve people. You would rather slow down the construction in stages than seek quick completion. Emperor Yang of Sui's Grand Canal is a best example. The development of the Grand Canal made the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but it led to the rapid demise of the Sui Dynasty. In fact, today, our Song Dynasty is still enjoying the welfare of the Grand Canal. If Emperor Yang of Sui used recruiting people at that time and was slower, what would it be?"

"I probably estimated that it included planting trees along the river banks, building water weirs and sand storage tanks in the middle and upper reaches, building various moon dikes and tiles downstream, widening and deep-dives, and building canals. It takes at least five years to divide water and drainage, and a decade to reach. After all, the water and soil of the Yellow River and tributaries now have deteriorated, which has passed the Eastern Han Dynasty."

However, the current deterioration of the water and soil is not as good as that in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Once it reaches that time, the country can be called a small governance... Therefore, it is still so important to reduce expenditure."

In fact, Wang Ju just told the funeral of the future. After the destruction of Xixia, I left the Song Dynasty. What should I do in the future? Wang Ju said exactly this. Just like writing a novel, if there is an outline, it will not be a mess.

It’s not that I can’t tell Zhao Xu, but that at that time, will Zhao Xu still be alive?

Therefore, these important officials are summoned, and no matter who comes to power, as long as he does this, the opposition will be very small.

Zhang Dun asked: "Taibao, have you found that fine lint cotton?"

"I just heard of it, but it's too large and not easy to find. I haven't found it yet, but this question is not important."

The coarse velvet cotton has poor texture, not much high yield, and has few cotton and many seeds. But it is at least better than planting macadamia. The loom has gradually improved. If you want a more exquisite cotton cloth, you can learn from Liren. It is mixed with silk. If the weaver is fine, it is no less than the cotton cloth from Dashi.

In recent years, tens of millions of kilograms of cotton products have been transported from the south every year and transferred to the north.

Although the Kapok Department lost control, the relevant commercial tax revenue, mutual trading tax revenue, and even the withdrawal income of the Maritime Bureau reached more than one million guan.

Moreover, the transfer of cotton in the south and north has also supported many people and even created further prosperity in the shipbuilding industry.

"Of course, I will also let the other side find it. For no reason, the prosperity of cotton. The high yield of grain has made the difference in income between the north and the south. For the future, we must find this better cotton to smooth out the difference in income between the north and the south."

"Taibao's vision, I can't do it."

"Zihou, you don't have to be too humble. What can I do without your help? But this time, the other side will bring back a few good things."

"oh."

"After a while, they will be transported to the capital."

This time, there are more species, including cassava, but they were planted in the south. I only brought a few samples to the capital, as well as papaya and banana taro. These two types can only be planted in the south.

There are also sunflowers, peppers, peanuts, pumpkins, chayotes, tomatoes, cashews, etc.

There are twenty-one types of grains and vegetables in total.

The main shore has expanded its survival scope in the Americas, nine settlements have been set up, more than 70,000 people have been migrated, and nearly 20,000 soldiers have been left.

There are many tribes over there, or countries.

I had to send many troops.

But compared with the original one, the climate on that side is more suitable, the land is more fertile, and especially the number of plains is unimaginable.

But even now, the other side has avoided the Gulf of Mexico. If you want to challenge that country, it will not work without twenty or thirty years.

Even Wang Ju planned to retreat to the other side and personally trained some soldiers to deal with that country. He did not have to deal with that country, but wanted to build a canal, which was not necessarily as wide as the Barnabas Canal, and there were not such a large ship now. The largest one was only a thousand and hundreds of tons. A similar canal could allow the oceans on both sides to communicate, so that the fertile and flat eastern plains of the United States could be opened.

However, due to the increased range of activities, I saw many foods from local indigenous people, which they could eat, and the Song Dynasty could also eat.

Most were brought back.

And I found some flowers with strong fragrance, but those flowers were not brought to the Song Dynasty, but were placed on the other side to breed for making perfume.

These were transported back by a clutch and germinated on the ship, which was just a little bit taken to the planting season.

Maybe they are not as important as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, but they can be used as a supplement and enrich the types of vegetables, which is of great significance.
To be continued...
