"Please also ask Wenju Gong to advise, how is this law divorced from practice?"

"At that time, Wang Mang gave loans to the people on credit, and if the people went through sacrifices, funerals, or wanted to be merchants and craftsmen but had no money, they could borrow money from the government. Among them, the sacrificial loan is repaid in ten days, and the funeral loan is repaid in three months, and no interest is charged; The annual interest paid on the industrial and commercial loan is only eleven, and compared with the envoy's bank, the profit is much lighter, I think Wang Mang at that time did not want to mess up the world he usurped. Saying that, Kong Rong sighed, "But the final result is that the Quartet complains, and the people are miserable!" ”

"Why?" Ma Qiang really didn't find out what was wrong with Wang Mang's policy of opening loans on credit.

Kong Rong said as he walked, "Because the officials are greedy and lazy, the officials will let people who don't need to borrow money borrow money for the sake of political performance, and even take out the money from the government to put it at usury, and then return it to the government at low interest, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do, Ma Envoy Jun, such as the officials in the world are gentlemen like me, this method is feasible, otherwise, it is not feasible!" ”

Ahh This stinky fart!

But I have to say that what Kong Rong said also makes sense.

Ma Qiang closed his eyes and thought for a while.

He also heard too much discussion of Wang Mang in later generations.

At its core, reform that is divorced from reality will not succeed.

Then will its own reforms not succeed?

After a long time, Ma Qiang opened his eyes and said, "Wen Jugong, thank you for coming to speak, but my money bank is not an official government, and I will not give them a promotion because they lend out a lot of money, I am ready to hire Mi Zhu as the chief treasurer of Dongfang Money Village, I think you have heard of this person, I will first pilot it in one place, and slowly promote it to avoid the chaos you just said." ”

"Mi Zhu..."Kong Rong muttered, and then said sarcastically, "I heard that Wei Zhongqing was reused by virtue of his sister that day, I thought it was fake, but today, it is indeed so." ”

Ma Qiang thought about who this Wei Zhongqing was, and remembered that this was Wei Qing for a long time.

Hemp eggs! This old man is sarcastic about me again!

Said that Lao Tzu was greedy for other people's sisters to reuse Mi Zhu?

Ge Laozi, fuck off!

I haven't even eaten the sable cicada in my mouth, where can I think about Mrs. Mi!

Saying... How old is this lady now, beast....

Kong Rong did not persuade Ma Qiang, so he no longer cared about the affairs of Beihai, but he did not change a word to Ma Qiang's article, reflecting an attitude that although I did not oppose it, I did not support it.

Ma Qiang stayed in Beihai for five days, and after receiving the news that the work of clearing fields in various places was on the right track, he got into the carriage and slowly went west.

But he didn't go directly to Donglai, but went to Gaomi first.

The new Gao Mi Ling Zuo Sheng was only two days ahead of Ma Qiang at this time, and of course he knew who Ma Qiang was going to visit this time.

The first person in Confucianism - Zheng Xuan!

As mentioned above, Zheng Xuan's attainments in Confucianism can be described as shocking, every time he studies a scripture, there will be a bunch of heroes who originally relied on this scripture to cry behind closed doors, which is a human flesh crusher in Confucianism.

In the room at this time, Zheng Xuan was annotating.

Knowing that Ma Qiang was visiting, Zheng Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Wu'er, you are going to Beihai, what is going on in this Ma Qingzhou?" ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, "The child and the envoy have only talked once, and I only feel that the envoy has the people in his heart, and he is the king of benevolence and righteousness." ”

"But this benevolent and righteous monarch has already killed hundreds of people in Beihai." Zheng Xuan put down the pen in his hand, slowly got up and said, "Last night, on a whim, I calculated a hexagram for this world. ”

"Father used magic?" Zheng Yi asked in surprise, "Didn't my father say that the number of techniques is not beneficial to the people of the world, and it should not be investigated." ”

Zheng Xuan nodded slowly, he not only knew how to count, but he was also extremely proficient.

"And what was the result?"

Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Don't say it, please let you in." ”

Ma Qiang walked into Zheng Xuan's courtyard, and Zheng Xuan greeted him outside the house, "The people of the mountains and wilderness have seen the envoy!" ”

"I just came to see Zheng Jun today, and I hope Zheng Jun won't blame." Ma Qiang returned a salute to Zheng Xuan, and the two entered together, Zheng Yi also wanted to go in, but was stopped by Guo Jia.

"Yien, I have some details of Qingtian to discuss with you, let's go over there."

Zheng Yi swallowed his saliva, nodded, and followed Guo Jia to the side to speak.

Inside the house, Ma Qiang and Zheng Xuan looked at each other for a while, and Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Wu'er said that the envoy is the king of benevolence and righteousness, why does the envoy want to make a bloody storm in Beihai, and countless scholars cry behind closed doors?" ”

Ma Qiang replied, "When I was studying, I saw a sentence called how a family cries like a county crying."

Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up, and he repeated it, and then asked, "Who said this, and it should be passed down to the world!" ”

"It's a Song man named Fan Zhongyan." Ma Qiang said, "He also has a famous saying, which is called the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world." ”

Zheng Xuan closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and sighed, "The old man thought that he had read all the allusions in the world, but he didn't expect that he had never heard of such a sage, the old man... I'm ashamed..."

The corners of Ma Qiang's mouth twitched, if you have heard of Fan Zhongyan, then you are a master of ancient literature who has traveled through time.

"Zheng Jun, I'm going to build an Oriental Library, just in the plains, hoping to gather all the books from all over the world there, I don't know what you think of this idea?"

"Library? Books in the world? ”

"This time, I have collected a lot of books in Luoyang, but some of these books are scattered, some are damaged, it is a pity, I want to ask a person to be the director of the library, on the one hand, to preside over the restoration of books, and on the other hand, to preside over the compilation of a hand-me-down book."

"The Book of Heirlooms?"

"Yes, this book is called, all the world's astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, mathematics, science, Taoism, skills and other hundreds of sayings are gathered in this book!"

"What? This is impossible, how can such a book be written in tens of millions of words? ”

"This is a kind of book, divided into categories, as for the number of words, I'm afraid it will be tens of thousands.

If there is chaos today, if we don't try our best to collect books, I am afraid that countless classics will be destroyed in the war, and it will be a real disaster for us in the world! Saying that, Ma Qiang smiled and said, "I don't know what Zheng Jun thinks, who can be the director of this library?" ”

Zheng Xuan touched his beard and squinted at Ma Qiang, and the two couldn't help laughing.

"Yun: In today's world, the old man is not humble if he wants to do this, the old man should help him!"

Ma Qiang let out a long breath, and sure enough, Emperor Yongle's tricks were very useful to these Confucian students.

Confucianism pays attention to virtue, meritorious service, and speech, and believes that those who do these three things can leave an immortal name after death.

Zheng Jun, I'm in my Ma Qiang's house!
