Chapter 182: Be prepared for danger in times of peace

Fan Yu's words caused several people present to fall into a moment of contemplation.

The four people of the world, agriculture, industry and commerce, as An Lehou said, are indeed fighting for the interests of the country. And the country is favorable, that is, the Great Song Dynasty is beneficial to the world, and the official family is beneficial. When you are in the world at home, this is one.

Suddenly, these new scholars felt that their horizons had been broadened, and their minds seemed to be much broader.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Zhang Tangqing got up, bowed to Fan Yu and said, "I used to read and write strategies, although I also wrote the same flowers. But I never thought about such a race for profit. This matter is like a family with one surname, although it is scattered, everyone is not separated. Each performs its own duties and shares it together, and with concerted efforts, the family is prosperous. If this principle is applied to the world, it is the world of our Han people, and it should be the same. ”

Fan Yu saw Zhang Tangqing so excited, so he smiled and said: "This is just a little bit of my opinion, and it can't be achieved overnight." With the status of a few of us, there isn't much we can do. I only hope that in 20 years, you will become the princes of the court and join hands for this grand event. Today, we can only come a little bit and do what is in front of us. ”

Yang Ge shook his head and said: "What we can do is to wait for the release of officials and govern the place well, in order to get a good evaluation." How difficult it is to do something big. ”

Xu Shou looked down on Yang Ge's attitude, and couldn't help but tease: "You want a good evaluation, but you don't want to do something, how is this possible." If, as the Hou Ye said, you can unite the four people of the place and make each of them prosperous, how can you get a bad evaluation. Knowing that it is the four people, you can build water conservancy to benefit farmers, encourage the establishment of workshops to benefit workers, and then use the example of benefiting businessmen, so that businessmen can gather to buy and sell hundreds of tools, and the people are rich in the port, and the education is self-prospering. If this kind of thing is feasible in one state, it will be put in the world, and I am afraid that it is not bad. ”

Hearing Xu Shou say this, Fan Yu couldn't help but glance at this guy. There are not many literati who can tell this truth now. If they are asked to write articles, I am afraid that they will all use the Spring and Autumn penmanship. can speak so methodically, Fan Yu only knows Xu Shou.

"I think what Brother Xu said makes sense." Miao Zhen also interjected at this time: "This kind of thing really has to start from a small place first, and we are all judges, and the starting point is very high." If you can do something in this state, you can. Even if it can't do what Brother Xu said, it must be slightly improved. ”

Zhang Tangqing and Yang Cha both nodded, thinking that this was the truth.

Fan Yu said with a smile: "This matter is just here to talk to you, as an imperial prince, there is not much I can do." Although you are rich, you will not be able to show your ambitions in the future. However, if this chapter on the manufacture of civil utensils in the House of Manufactures is passed, then I may send someone to your state capital for the purpose of commerce. I don't know about the other political achievements, but in terms of taxes, it will definitely be higher than other state capitals. ”

At this moment, the eyes of the other five people turned to Fan Yu. China has always been an official-based society, and it is the consensus of all the people to study and become an official.

What Fan Yu said, if it is true. So these people here, as long as they are not stupid, will definitely be promoted faster than others who started together.

"What Master Hou said, but is it true?" Yang Cha hurriedly asked.

"This kind of thing, of course, is serious." Fan Yu nodded and said, "If the state capital where you are located is prosperous in trading, then the people and money of other surrounding states will circulate over." ”

Fan Yu drew a cake, but this cake was realized in later generations. Now I draw it to these people to make them aware of this. Fan Yu didn't ask for it to change the situation of Da Song immediately, but subtly, it started from the inconspicuous place below. The Great Song Dynasty has reached the present day, although it has been established for less than a hundred years. But in reality, there is already a lot of hard work to go back to.

As for the later Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reforms, Fan Yu has studied them in middle school textbooks, and they are all dead and political. If you want to change this inertia of the direction of the Great Song Dynasty, you must dig a hole on the road of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Tangqing frowned slightly, looked at Fan Yu and said: "Master Hou, Confucius said: The gentlemen are not the party, and the villains are not the party." If we do, isn't it inappropriate? ”

As soon as he said this, the rest of the group immediately stopped talking. If you really do this, won't you become a villain, and the level of Confucian moral psychology is a bit unbearable.

Regarding Zhang Tangqing's pedantry, Fan Yu didn't feel anything. They are all sage books that they have read for more than ten years, and they suddenly accept some new things, which is somewhat resistant.

The group but not the party means to be good friends with others, but not to form a relationship of interests. The party is not a group, that is, there are people who are united because of the relationship of interests, but in fact they can still frame each other.

"How does this become a villain?" Fan Yu waved his hand and smiled: "A gentleman who is not a party is a villain who fights alone, how can he beat the party but not the party." If what you do is worthy of your family and country, why don't you become a member of the same party? I say and do this just to make you stand out earlier. Moreover, instead of being an official for a few years and traveling around the landscape, it is better to do something, which may bring some new atmosphere to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Xu Shou is the most receptive to new things, and he knows more about Fan Yu, he said: "What Hou Ye said is reasonable. We are officials, but not for the corpse vegetarian meal, but we can see the effect if we try it. Wouldn't it be a good thing if it worked? ”

Yang Ge said: "Now my Great Song Dynasty is a prosperous era, and the four seas have been peaceful, and there have been boundless things for decades. The people of the world have enough food and clothing, and there is no shortage of money and food in the regular closing positions in various places. When I look at history, there has never been a previous dynasty or a dynasty. It's already reached this point, I'm afraid it's already the limit. ”

"Limit? I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Fan Yu shook his head and said, "Before I was made a marquis by the official family, I came from Caoqiao Town, which is near the left side of Chenzhou. The prefect of Bao Fu relieved the victims of the famine, but it was not fake. The famine in Chenzhou was half a natural disaster and half a man-made disaster. If it weren't for the grain purchased from other places, and the grain escorted by the prefect of Bao, I am afraid that Chenzhou would have a big mess. ”

"That's it, or because there's nothing to do. If the Liao State tears up the Yuanyuan Covenant and raises troops to attack, will we deal with the Liao army by only using Chang Ping? Fan Yu glanced at a few people and said, "My Da Song seems to be full of sensitivity." However, the annual coins sent to the Liao State every year are raising thieves. If the thieves are strong, they will threaten them with force and ask for more money and food. You should have read "On the Passage of Qin", so do you want the Great Song Dynasty to be the Qin State, or let the Great Song Dynasty be the Six Kingdoms. ”

Fan Yu said this to let them understand why they did this and what it meant to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
