Chapter 474: On Politics

Wang Yan had been waiting to pick Su You's thorns, so as to overwhelm him and show his sense of existence, and then said: "If Mingrun says this, then the agricultural plan is not important?" It is necessary to know that the country is agriculture-oriented, and every year the official queen has to experience agriculture and mulberry. ”

Su You didn't care: "Come on, come on, the dishes are here, let's talk while eating." ”

Wang Anshi was famous for not drinking alcohol, and when Bao Heizi was the herdsman, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were judges under him.

One day, the peony flowers bloomed in the division, and Bao Heizi was interested in holding a flower party.

Neither of them was drinking, and Bao Heizi saw that the cup in front of them was empty, so he stepped forward to persuade him.

First, he went to Sima Guang and asked, "Why don't you be happy with others?" ”

Sima Guang had no choice but to give Bao Heizi face, so he had to "drink strongly".

Bao Heizi came to Wang Anshi again: "Everyone is happy to sit and sit, how can you bear it when you are alone?" ”

Wang Anshi replied: "I don't drink in my life, and I don't dare to make an exception this time." ”

Bao Heizi is also a well-known strength, and he was repeatedly persuaded to drink during the banquet, but Wang Anshi's stubbornness was better than Bao Heizi, and he insisted on "not drinking at the end of the banquet", and Bao Heizi "can't be strong".

The world later distinguished the personalities of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang in this way.

But when he arrived at Su You, it was different, I saw him take out a few bottles and said: "The wine is a thoroughly studied thing in Shuzhong, mainly because of the alcohol component, which has a stimulating effect on people, can make people's hearts beat faster, accelerate blood flow, and will also dull thinking and make people forget their troubles." ”

"But any drink regardless of the strength and dosage is not in line with the attitude of science and technology. For example, cinnabar and aconitum are all poisons, but if the amount used at one time is not much, they are excellent medicinal materials. ”

"I know that Wang Gongsu doesn't drink alcohol, but these bottles of dew made in Nai Shu have alcohol, but they are very low, and they will not affect their thinking."

"After the women in Shuzhong gave birth, they also used it to nourish their bodies, and children and the elderly could also eat it. It is effective for chills, blood stasis, vitality loss, anemia, and indigestion. It is also helpful for poor sleep, mental trance, depression and forgetfulness. Drinking it regularly on weekdays can also help digestion. Prince, I'll pour you a glass first, if you taste it and don't think you can drink it, can you change it to drink? ”

This statement is different from persuasion, Wang Anshi is also a scholar, and said with a smile: "Practice, Mingrun can be described as a person who is good at persuasion." ”

Picked up the cup and took a sip: "Well, it's sweet, it has the smell of osmanthus, but it doesn't smell like wine, it's acceptable." ”

Su You smiled: "Then this bottle will be left for the prince's own use, but we still drink Yongchun old dew." ”

The dishes come up one by one, each portion is not much, but it is very exquisite, and the color and flavor are complete.

The main course is steamed mandarin fish, steamed pork, roasted white, and stewed chicken with cuttlefish.

Su You said: "Shuzhong is fond of bitterness, but it is expected that a few people are not used to eating, so try to be as light as possible, let's move chopsticks." ”

and Wang Anli, Wang Yan toasted again, and then said: "Just now, Brother Yuan Ze said that I said that I did not pay attention to agriculture, but in fact, I blamed me for being rough, so that Brother Yuan Ze understood the meaning in the opposite direction. ”

Wang Yan said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Su You said: "In fact, Shuzhong is an example, now there are thousands of people farming, ten thousand people eating, and people who are engaged in agriculture are only eleven. ”

"It is already a fact that more people are engaged in metallurgy, salt making, ceramics, winemaking, tea making, sugar making, construction, vehicles and ships, transportation, commerce and trade."

"Isn't it a good thing? Of course, it is a good thing, which shows that the limited land can feed a larger population. ”

"But in dialectical terms, everything has its positive and negative sides, what are the disadvantages of this approach?"

"Thousands of people plough, 10,000 people have enough food, on the other hand, once there is a flood, resulting in a shortage of food, the original problem of 1,000 people will become a problem of 10,000 people! Magnified tenfold! ”

"Therefore, the more places like this, the more important agriculture is, and it is necessary to ensure that the output is stable, so that there is a foundation for these later!"

"Shuzhong self-irrigation mouth repaired, thousands of years to dig the channel, now in the western Sichuan Plain, has built a perfect water network."

"Central Sichuan has been stable for hundreds of years, the ownership of land is complicated, and the land ownership has long been fragmented, so on the plain, it is very difficult to annex, which protects the land ownership of homesteaders in disguise."

"The climate in Shuzhong is suitable, you can plant two seasons a year, plus the development of terraces, the introduction of excellent rice seeds, the issuance of green seedling loans in various places to support, and the attraction of people to discover hidden households, in addition to the regular closing of the government, as well as the private warehouses of major firms, all of which ensure the relative stability of agricultural output in Shuzhong, which has the basis for liberating manpower."

"There is no stability without agriculture, this is the premise of everything."

Wang Anshi nodded: "The princes of the court, most of the eyes are attracted by the near benefits of Shuzhong, and when it comes to Shu politics, they always focus on industry and commerce, but they ignore the "Southwest Agricultural Book" that Mingrun has spent ten years and benefited from thousands of years. Here, a toast to you. ”

Wang Yan reacted at this time, when he talked about Su Mingrun, first of all, he was comparable to Tao Zhugong's means of making money, or his luck and good popularity, but because he was young, he often ignored his comprehensive quality.

Wang Yan secretly made up his mind, one day, I will surpass you.

Wang Anshi and Su You drank a drink, and then said: "Mingrun, the Great Song Dynasty now looks like a hundred years of Chengping, in fact, it has long been in crisis, the three redundancies are heavy, the princes of the court have long been insightful, but unfortunately there is no solution, this time to go to Que, Mingrun can have suggestions for the court?" ”

Su You said to Wang Anshi: "Does the prince have any suggestions?" ”

Wang Anshi sighed: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is just to clean up the rule of officials, open source and reduce expenditure." ”

Su You said: "Having said that, it is indeed not easy to implement, with the good foundation of Shu for thousands of years, from only using iron money, and even bartering, to the circulation of Shu banknotes, it has also gone through more than ten years. ”

"There are also a few big salt wells in the middle, and the imperial court has not implemented tea and wine in Shuzhong, so there is such a good situation, and the rest of the places ...... It's hard......"

Wang Yan felt that Su You's name came from the rule of Shuzhong, and the main reason for the rule of Shu Zhong was from the two just now, so Su You just picked up a big bargain and couldn't afford such a big reputation, all of which were boasted by the successive Shuzhong transit envoys who fed the Meishan people.

He also didn't look down on Shuzhong's set, and said: "Use the law of Shangjun to prohibit it, why worry about it?" ”

Su You was a little speechless: "Brother Yuan Ze, in the world of Shang Jun, the people of Qin are stupid and simple, and the politics are brief. The production mode is single, only the amount of the well field, the military merit, everything is solved. ”

"Now that we are a thousand years old, as I just said, the division of labor between the people and the people in the development of the country is very careful, and it is not something that can be done simply and crudely."

"To give a simple example, far from talking about the pre-Qin, let's just say that at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of countries were enough for circulation. But look at the present, in Weizhou, a place that is not a county, there are no less than 600,000 yuan a year. ”

"How many people around Bianjing are engaged in agriculture? If one size fits all, send all these people to the countryside and go to Hebei to farm, what problem will not be solved? But the question is, what are the consequences of doing so? ”

Wang Yan sneered: "If it is a matter of strength today, it is not a matter of an edict?" What will be the consequences of the three-foot knife? ”

Su You said with a smile: "Then I'm afraid that this three-foot knife will fall on Brother Wang's neck first." Therefore, according to me, it is the right way to first choose a breakthrough point so that most people can accept it, start from a small place, persevere, and gradually expand the area of influence. ”

Wang Yan shook his head: "It's still the spiral development of your science and engineering, the Great Song Dynasty is now deeply troubled, and you must use tiger and wolf medicine." ”

"I've also seen the method of science and engineering, between two points, the straight-line distance is the shortest, so it can be improved in a straight line, why do you have to take a spiral?"

"If you use the law of Mingrun, I am afraid that the territory will be declining, and the country will have no surplus, once there is a famine, the military affairs will be in danger of overthrowing the country!"

This is the shield of attacking the son with the spear of the son, Su You didn't expect Wang Yan's words to be so easy, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

Wang Anshi took the opportunity to interrupt the dispute between the two: "Don't say these discussions, the old man and Mingrun haven't knocked yet, but they are pointing out the national affairs and letting people know, I'm afraid that we will laugh at our position of wanting to dominate, and we will be crazy and crazy." ”

So Su You led the topic to the poems, and the atmosphere of the banquet improved again.
