Zhao Chen blinked and said with interest: "The prince will talk about it." 『』”

Zhu Lian frowned slightly, looked at his son's back very dissatisfied, and finally sighed softly. She originally wanted her son to call Wang Xiuzhong's father, but Wang Xiu refused, thinking that their relationship should not be too close, she retreated and asked Zhao Chen to call Mr. Wang Xiu, but unfortunately her son thought he was the Son of Heaven, and after arguing for a long time, he compromised, and changed to Wang Gong instead of calling Mr.

Wang Xiu's face was calm, he just looked up at Zhao Chen, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, most of the past dynasties have been dominated by land endowments, but how many taxes can be paid by relying on the sky to eat ordinary people are mostly thin fields, and they are not self-sufficient in food and clothing in the year of famine, so how can they have the spare energy to pay taxes." What's more, it is an endowment, which forces the people to take risks. ”

"Since the dynasty came to industry and commerce and agriculture in parallel, since the king of Zhou Wu, industry and commerce surpassed agriculture and commerce for the first time, and the imperial court was able to recruit millions of soldiers. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers are broken and all industries are withering, the captives are insatiable, and the court is draining. The minister believes that the unchanged system is not enough to strengthen the country, and the law is not innovative enough to prestige the Quartet. ”

He has a basis, the taxes of the Han Dynasty in his memory are only 40,000 yuan, and the calculation of the Son of Heaven is only 20,000 yuan. To the Ming Dynasty is even more unbearable, only two million taels of silver in the early stage, Wanli years are better, but only four million, Emperor Chongzhen in order to cope with the war and Liao tax, almost exhausted and fishing, the Ming Dynasty's tax reached the peak, that is, eight million taels of silver.

Only the Qing Dynasty abolished the poll tax, and the population grew explosively, and in the late Qianlong period, there were 70 million taels of silver, which was not half of the heyday of the Great Song Dynasty.

"This guy is going to change the law," this thought flashed in everyone's hearts.

"Instead of using exploitation to increase endowments, it is better to encourage industry and commerce, operate outside the territory, and use the financial resources of all countries to provide China's use."

"The sage took agriculture and mulberry as the foundation of the country, and the gold, silver and jewelry were tepid, so why did mulberry and millet be used to help the world. Merchants are cunning, not enough to believe, what is the benefit of the country, oppression of Fanbang, where is the Chinese faith" Sun Fu retorted to Wang Xiu, he was not against overseas trade, but he was unwilling to officially intervene in overseas trade, not to mention that Wang Xiu's intention was obvious, that is, naked conquest.

"Nongsang is the foundation of the survival of the family and the country, and the grain for nine years may be indispensable, but it is by no means a policy for a rich country, the imperial court is forty million years old, and more than half of it is accepted by the merchant, and the field endowment cannot even be paid by Changping." Wang Xiu's eyes were playful, and even a little provocative, and he said playfully: "Ploughing the fields and planting mulberries, isn't it also taking out money to get by, the ancient sages are mostly hundreds of labors, and with the advice of adults, all the sages are cheap industries"

"Xinyi, diplomatic relations only have interests and no morality, the party, Jurchen, Jiaozhi, Guangnan Zhufan, the result of the imperial court talking to them about Xinyi, Hexi does not exist, the two rivers fall, and the southwest is not appeased. Obey, with brilliant virtue, stubborn and unwilling, extinguished. ”

Wang Xiu's strong words are reasonable, Sun Fu has almost nothing to refute, and he is flushed, you can say that you don't spend a penny, don't buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and have no favors to deal with Nabang, that's naked, you can be full of benevolence and morality, but you must have a steel knife in your hand. Otherwise, the about benevolence, righteousness and morality will be replaced by the person opposite you, and you will only become a fish on the board.

Sun Fu looked at Wang Xiu helplessly, and sighed: "Lord Wang is acting too quickly, which is against the way of a saint. ”

Wang Xiu smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "The way of the sage is that the ruler treats the people well, and if you can't take yourself, you can treat the tiger and wolf foreign countries well, which is tantamount to Mr. Dongguo." The first Qin Dynasty had a couple in the Central Plains, the first emperor inherited the national prestige for 500 years, the remnants of the sixth Fen Dynasty, and the six countries won the world. Han Wu has the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty Beiting, Anxi covers thousands of miles of territory, Guanshan is thousands of miles, Shaanxi is the hinterland, with the way of the sage and now Guanzhong has become a border stopper, Lelang County is a Tartar pasture, and Kaifeng has become a border military town. ”

Sun Fu's face was ashamed, Wang Xiu's words were nothing less than great irony, and the spearhead was pointed at the scholars and doctors talking about Wu Guo. In the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Guanzhong was Gyeonggi, and now, it has become a thousand-mile border fortress, and it is needless to say that Kaifeng City is open. Wang Xiu's words were a bit excessive, reminiscent of the Zhao and Song royal families, but if you think about it carefully, what people said is not unreasonable, his face is flushed, but he can't refute it.

"Emperor Renzong set up a primary school, so that the people of the world can be in the itch, and the sea is polite, this great act of goodness. Emperor Renzong is kind-hearted, can not bear the world's lives and suffering, the weir force stops, so that the party Xiang Xili, Khitan is increasingly rampant, now the Tartars are attacking the city and conquering the land, obviously to die in China, the court with benevolence, I am afraid that it will not be able to solve the crisis, should make every effort to govern, get rid of bad governance. ”

"How do you talk about operating outside the territory" Li Gang asked coldly, he is not a pedantic person, and if he can benefit the Northern Expedition, he can support it to a limited extent.

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Merchants come and go to communicate with each other, and accumulate huge wealth, but they can also bring huge taxes to the imperial court. For example, Huainan citrus catty ten wen, farmers take three wen, merchants send to Jingdong Jin can be twenty wen, throw away the road cost of one qiē, and make a profit of nine wen, this alone can feed farmers, servants, merchants, the imperial court can get two taxes, ten wen take eight cents, twenty wen can take three wen. Huainan citrus is made locally, and local sales can also increase the profit of six or seven layers, and the profit of sending it to Jingdong is not less than twice that of the government, and the government can extract two layers of taxes, and the adults want to think how much the imperial court can profit."

By analogy, the porcelain, silk and other items of the Great Song Dynasty disappeared outside the territory in exchange for scarce things such as gold and silver, copper and iron, and sulfur, and now the foreign trade pattern is too small to support the wealth of the imperial court. The minister thought that it was necessary to expand the naval army, increase the number of sea ships, and expand the trade fleet organized by the government and the people. The naval army occupies the East China Sea and the South China Sea to establish walled cities, set up official offices, and station naval ships to escort them, which is the transshipment base of the Great Song Dynasty naval fleet overseas, and can control the local chieftains and tribes, and can colonize if necessary. ”

"Colonial" Tang Ge can understand overseas trade, he disdains profit, but in the face of rolling wealth, he can also turn a blind eye, anyway, he can solve the problem. When it comes to colonization, he doesn't quite understand it, thinking that it is the same as subduing all nations.

Wang Xiu smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Encourage the subjects to trade abroad, expand the overseas territory of the navy, and protect the interests of the Great Song Dynasty outside the territory. ”

"I see." Tang Ge's eyelids jumped, and he didn't say any more.

"Lord Wang is also a son of Confucianism, and it doesn't matter if he speaks for profit, how can he give birth to the words of stripping the wealth of the country and enslaving his subjects, is this the way of the sage, do you want the people of the Heavenly Dynasty to move to Fanwai, is it still the people of the official family" Li Gang immediately retorted
