Zhang Biao can ignore everyone present, but he can't ignore Sun Xiangfu, the governor of Anbei, he doesn't have a title from the four-rank general, in Sun Xiangfu's eyes, it is not enough to see, under He Weiwen's repeated persuasion, he finally loosened up a little, and decided to pay some money, big deal, afterwards, and then privately find this Hanuer to settle accounts.

Then, He Weiwen drafted a copy of what happened, as well as Zhang Biao's confession, apology, and apology for him to sign, this book was in triplicate, one copy for Hanuer, one copy for Zhang Biao, and one copy for the Public Security Bureau.

After Zhang Biao's subordinates handed over the agreed compensation of 20 yuan to Hanuer, He Weiwen said to Zhang Biao, "General Zhang, don't think about retaliating in private, once something happens to Hanuer, the lower officials will immediately submit this file kept by the Public Security Bureau to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate, when the time comes, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to defend again, and please put your future first." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Biao was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that He Weiwen still had such a set, and he suddenly felt annoyed, so he flicked his sleeves and left, before going out, he suddenly saw a few familiar figures, and suddenly his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty······ ······"

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'm out on patrol, you don't want to let the people know, go back and think about it behind closed doors!" Don't take this half a year's salary. ”

"Yes, yes, the minister knows."

Zhang Biao walked away, but Sun Xiangfu joked on the side, "Your Majesty still likes to punish people so much, now, the only income of an officer is Lulu, this General Zhang has not taken Yulu for half a year, I am afraid that his life will be very poor!" ”

"Okay, you kid can say it if you have something to say!" Li Shimin waved his hand a little irritably.

Zhang Biao's situation is not an exception, this kind of thing, even in the east and west cities of Chang'an, often happens, and it is repeatedly prohibited.

Several people returned to the street after watching the lively crowd, and Sun Xiangfu continued Li Shimin's words, "This kind of official bullying civilians or small businessmen is not uncommon, at the smallest, it is a civil dispute, and at the largest, he can divide the class, or the nation, Your Majesty, you punished according to your own mood today, but it did not convince this Zhang Biao, but because he couldn't get it for half a year, his life was poor, and he intensified his exploitation of others, so we should think of a way, Prevent this from happening. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "How come I haven't thought about it, I was going to ban officials from passing through the market before, didn't you suggest that you don't issue such a ban." ”

"The minister suggested not to issue such a ban, because it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and later, His Majesty added an inspection court in the imperial court, is there a lot less such a situation?

However, even if there is a procuratorate, it still can't put an end to the situation of officials bullying the people, so should we consider using some better means?

For example, legislation, military law in the army, do these generals dare to violate it? The etiquette of the imperial court, do those civil officials dare to violate it?

If they violate the law, Your Majesty will punish them according to the law, and they will be convinced to the greatest extent, so we should make clear laws, let the law restrain the behavior of officials, govern the country according to law, and officials and the people will have no complaints.

To use a specific analogy, if the official rushes to the court to deal with state affairs, then the people should indeed give way to him and let them go first, such a law has been promulgated, and if the people still block the road, it is illegal, and he has nothing to say about dealing with the people.

But if the officials are down from the court and sightseeing in the city, just like we are now, then should it be superior to others and use its power and position to oppress the people?

The minister thinks that it should not be, and our law should stipulate that officials can only have specific powers when they are in office. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, "Well, you mean, that is, unless you are on business, officials are no different from civilians?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Exactly, the minister thinks that this is the clear distinction between public and private, and the clear distinction between public and private has an advantage, that is, when everyone is in the same class in life, it is no longer the relationship between exploitation and exploitation, and then the society will naturally be harmonious."

Just like the minister and the villagers of Xingfu Village, His Majesty divided the land of Xingfu Village into the minister's job land, and according to the rule, the villagers of Xingfu Village should be the tenants of the minister, but the minister did not do this, but coexisted with them in a cooperative way, avoiding the formation of a relationship between exploitation and exploitation.

This kind of cooperation and coexistence will have many unexpected effects, and there are so many lands that if each villager treats these lands as their own land, and they plant these lands as other people's land, the harvest is completely different.

This is also the reason why the people from my happy village are more efficient than the average person, because they are working for themselves, earning more, and they share more. ”

In later generations, the Republic of China, to the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and then after the opening up, the farming relationship of the people at the bottom achieved a triple jump, during the Republic of China, most of the people at the bottom gave the landlord old wealth to farm land, usually the more they planted, the poorer they became, because there were more outputs, they were landlords, and the output was less, and the landlords still had to do so much, and the small people could only live with their belts tightened. The sons of the family will only give them what they can barely survive, and they will never see the hope of living a good life.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu mobilized everyone to engage in a collective and make a big pot of rice, and the situation was a little better than in the Republic of China, but the collective only gave the wealth created by everyone to the country, and the country became the landlord of everyone.

This method has indeed allowed the country to accumulate a certain amount of capital and complete some important goals, but ordinary people still do not see any hope, because, even if you plant the collective land well, it is just a slightly fuller meal, and you cannot achieve prosperity, so that after a long time, everyone's inertia will come out.

After the opening up, the field was finally gradually divided into households, and at this time, it was the time when the agricultural output exploded, and the happy village went through these three stages in just one year.

Guanzhong, also under the promotion of Sun Xiangfu, after more than two years, has achieved one step in place, as long as some efforts are made to make all the people in the country become yeoman farmers, then, the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty has increased ten times and twenty times, and the per capita level surpasses that of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in later generations, which is an easy thing, because now the population is small, the country is large, and there are too many resources allocated per capita.

Of course, when a country becomes better, it will not be simply because the ruler has a good idea to succeed, when you try your best to make it perfect, there are also people who are trying their best to destroy it, people's hearts are greedy, not content, even in later generations, can slightly restrain people's desires, but only the law, at that time there was an important sign of developed countries, that is, the law is sound, the more perfect the law, often the more developed the economy.

Li Shimin has such a political cognition, so after Li Tang founded the country, he immediately promoted education and revised the law.

However, in Sun Xiangfu's view, the pace of this advancement is still too slow and can no longer keep up with the rapid development of Datang, so he used some very simple truths to point out the problem and put forward a direction of reform.

There is no shortage of wise people in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are, after they pondered for a while, they all had their own understandings, but those things may be long to say, and it is inappropriate to talk about them on the street, yes, they just nodded in agreement with Sun Xiangfu's statement, and felt that this was a problem that could be discussed and studied in depth.

Then, the four of them continued to shop, Li Shimin carefully checked the prices of some commodities sold along the street in the shops, and found that it was much lower than the market price in Chang'an, so he asked Sun Xiangfu, "Why is the price of your goods in Shanyang much lower than that in Chang'an?" In this way, this year's trading volume of Hu merchants in the Western Regions in Chang'an is afraid that it will be much worse than before. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng answered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know, this is because the Hu merchants and courtiers in the Western Regions have purchased a large number of goods in the past two days, raising the market price by one or two percent. ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and replied, "Lord Wei is right, in normal times, the price of goods in Shanyang is indeed lower than now, for no other reason, because we produce more, this low price has achieved the competitiveness of our Shanyang, but it has caused a certain impact on the economy of Guanzhong or other regions, but in the eyes of the minister, this impact is benign and good for the country."

Take the cattle and sheep that our Shanyang produces the most! Since the autumn and winter of last year, after the implementation of large-scale fermented feed captivity, to June this year, more than one million cattle and sheep slaughtered, the new breeding method, a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death in winter, grazing because of the epidemic, lost, preyed by wild beasts, etc., the output is more than fifty percent higher than the previous herdsmen's scattered free range, in the future, the scale will be larger, the output will be more, which has led to my Shanyang's beef and mutton, and the price of leather goods all the way down.

This is also the reason why His Majesty only needs to spend three yuan to buy a skewer of lamb skewers with a little cumin powder on the streets of Shanyang, because our Shanyang's mutton can now be bought for fifteen yuan, which is about twice as cheap as Chang'an.

After autumn, Shanyang will have more than one million cattle and sheep transported to the Guannai, impacting the meat and vegetable market in the Guannai, so that the price of meat for everyone will be reduced a lot, and after three to five years, almost the entire people of Datang can eat a meal of meat when they celebrate the New Year's holidays, which is a good thing for the whole people. ”

"What you mean is that when the output is more, when everyone enjoys these things, the price will be low, just like the spices you planted before, as long as there is a bumper harvest of spices in the north this year, I am afraid that next year, ordinary people in Guanzhong will also be able to eat spices!" Li Shimin understood what Sun Xiangfu meant.

"Well, this is inevitable, if you can't let the people easily solve the problem of food, clothing, food and clothing, a country, how can you talk about prosperity and strength.

If the Guanzhong Weinan New Town Industrial Zone is fully operational, it will solve more problems in this regard, so that the cost of living of the people will continue to decrease, so that every family can use efficient and practical tools, wear comfortable and warm clothes, etc., etc., at that time, we Datang will embark on the road of prosperity and strength. ”

Sun Xiangfu's truth is simple and easy to understand, a few people only need to imagine that picture a little, and they feel excited, but soon, Li Shimin reacted again, and said, "Weinan New City is fully put into use, that is two or three years later, right now, you let the merchants in Shanyang earn enough, and let the merchants in Guanzhong starve to death, this doesn't seem to be the way to balance interests!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Don't worry!" Hu Shang would definitely go to Chang'an to do business, because only Chang'an, where the rich gathered, could digest the goods in their hands.

And we Shanyang, after all, there are more civilian classes, and they are only responsible for production and creating taxes for the country's output.

As far as the state is concerned, where the tax is collected, it is actually the same, because it is all money.

If the merchants in Guanzhong have no business to do, you can mobilize them and let them go out!

Why can't we see a few of our Han businessmen in the Hu merchant team who travel back and forth to the Western Regions every year? People can come to us from far west, so why can't we go to them?

The interest of trafficking goods is still very high, but it can't be taken up by the Hu people, and our businessmen go out, in fact, our culture goes out, you don't underestimate the power of businessmen, their ability to fool people is actually the most powerful, many backward barbarian small countries, maybe because of a businessman, and form a trend of admiration for my Datang!

So! If they are poor, they should think about change, instead of being jealous of others who have developed and robbed them of their interests. ”

In later generations, there was a period of time when many people were particularly admiring foreigners, because they thought that foreign products were good, but in this era, Sun Xiangfu wanted to use the high-end commodity output of the Tang Dynasty to make foreigners in this world worship the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu use the word 'jealousy', Li Shimin glared at him with unhappy eyes, and only now did he vaguely understand why the people's livelihood and economic development in Guanzhong would be a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of Shanyang and Lingnan.

Because, the business of Guanzhong has not developed, and the business exchanges between Lingnan to overseas and Shanyang to the northern regions and the Western Regions are becoming more and more frequent, which is the main reason for their rapid development, and if they want to develop business well, they must first have a good business environment.
