192 Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (I)
Liu Zongzhou's question seems to be reasonable, why should two people do what can be done by one person? Isn't it superfluous to do it separately and cooperate with each other? In fact, many things in the world seem unreasonable but have their profound reasons, in the issue of employing people, many people throughout the ages think that people can do one law and ten thousand laws, but can a person really do everything? Obviously, because he farmed well, after becoming an official, he inflated himself and thought that he could command thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield and would not fail; Just because the escort was promoted in time, he appointed himself a water conservancy expert to control the water, and the soldiers were in trouble and floods, all of which were good things done by these people.
Since the division of labor, things in the world have emerged endlessly, making people dizzy, and there are countless people who do not measure their own strength, and those who have low hands and low hands, who have done things for some purpose. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. They don't know or know or admit that people's strength and energy are limited, and it is very enjoyable to work alone, but it is difficult to really solve problems, and cooperation and division of labor can be stable and long-lasting. Even if one person is tired and can complete some things, it is best to divide and cooperate in the division of labor, so that there are fewer mistakes and they can supervise and remind each other, which is good for themselves and others. For example, in a department, the people who manage money and accounts are their own people, and it is okay for one person to manage both money and accounts, but that is not reassuring.
Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought about why I want to separate the Holy Academy from the Bo Academy? Because I have always believed that everyone's strengths are different, even if the same person needs different states when doing different things, people need to cooperate with each other when doing things. In the case of the Doctoral College, the starting point of their consideration of problems should be how to be detailed, in-depth and concrete, while the Sacred College should think differently about the problems and should stand at a relatively high height to think about coordination, comprehensiveness and broadness, and the two can only achieve the best results by cooperating with each other. ”
Gao Panlong asked at this time: "The emperor asked people to do things separately and asked them to cooperate with each other, this idea is right and thoughtful, but why not let them be both broad and profound, deep and broad?" ”
Tianqi shook his head and smiled: "Master Gao thinks that I don't want my subordinates to be people like Zhuge Liang?" can manage the army and the people on the horse, and they are loyal to me, and there are only a few such people for thousands of years. Even if it's Zhuge Liang, isn't he too capable and finally exhausted? What I need now is to make good use of ordinary people, just like the saying goes, how many noodles make how big a bun is" I played chess with them for a few days, and when I lost, I also thought, if all the chess pieces were rooks, wouldn't I not lose? But this is clearly unrealistic. ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "The emperor has orders for his ministers to naturally obey, and at the beginning the emperor said that you already have some considerations, I don't know what the emperor's considerations are?" Can you tell the minister about it, so that the minister has a general range of consideration. ”
Tianqi said: "I think so, this people take food as the sky, and now by letting the big households sell grain, return the fields, and pay rent together according to their own conditions, and at the same time immigrate the disaster victims from the north to the south, plus the high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes that Lord Xu said are about to be promoted, it can be said that the food problem that plagued the Ming Dynasty is about to be solved ♀, and the farmers who come to the fields do not need to stick to the land, and they are only busy during the harvest or sowing in May and September every year, and they can do the work of several people at other times. The surplus people go to work to earn money, and in the end everyone is rich. ”
Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, this corn, potato, sweet potato and other crops have just been planted in the Huangzhuang for more than two months and have not been harvested, how can you be sure that there will be a bumper harvest?" If something happens, the minister will be guilty. ”
Tianqi smiled: "Lord Xu is too careful, I only sent someone to Huangzhuang to see it a while ago, and it is not a problem to grow well and harvest." Moreover, a while ago, the king of the Bohai Naval Region gave me a letter to the king of Jin, saying that the fields in the inland of Daming were affected by the disaster, but the fish along the coast of Daming were not affected, and there were so many fish in the sea that they could not be eaten, and I had allowed him to build more big boats to catch more fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp and other seafood, and as soon as the two news were combined, I dared to say that the food problem would no longer be a problem. ”
After Tianqi finished speaking, he saw Xu Guangqi nodding again and again, so he turned his head and said to Liu Zongzhou: "When your stomach is full, you have to think about how to repair the house, buy a car, and earn money, and what kind of work should be prepared for the farmer to do, this matter is considered by the Bo Academy; I just have to listen to your reports to grasp the direction∞ and I think that when considering the arrangements of various industries from the perspective of the overall situation, you should first think about the role of silver, and as long as you understand the true role of silver, you will not overdo it or fail to do it properly. Sage Kong also said that 'it is too much', you should be able to understand. ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "The minister heard the emperor say some time ago that this silver cannot be eaten or worn, it is just a certificate of right for extracts, and its most suitable role is to prompt people to do things through this certificate of rights." At that time, when the emperor asked for a reduction in the interest rate on the loans of the nation's money banks, he said that if the silver could not motivate people to do things but hindered them from doing things, the loan interest and distribution system of the money banks should be considered to be changed. Now that the emperor has mentioned that the Holy Academy should consider the role of silver from the perspective of the overall situation, does it mean that the Holy Academy should formulate some systems to encourage people to do things? ”
Tianqi nodded and said: "Lord Liu understands this truth, I am very happy, this silver must play a real role in motivating people to do things, which is also the reason why I want to gradually take the national money bank into my own hands, those who are not willing to be attached to the big iron company, I do not force them but let people strictly supervise them, once they make a mistake, they will be banned immediately and will not show mercy." However, in addition to focusing on the real use of silver, the Holy College should also look at the needs of the people. Using silver to motivate people to do things is one-way from top to bottom, and there should also be bottom-up considerations, and the bottom and bottom are consistent to make the court and the people satisfied before they are truly satisfied. ”
Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "The minister finally understands the emperor's true intentions now, the emperor means that everything must be done with the interests of the court and the interests of ordinary people, and both parties are satisfied before they can let go of it. But what if the requirements of the court are different from the needs of the people? ”
Tianqi smiled: "Lord Liu's question shows that you haven't really understood, and it is not right for you to separate the court from the people. In fact, the interests of the imperial court are the overall interests of all the people, and the relationship between the two sides is one and two, and the deviation between the two is because they stand on different positions. It is important to understand here that the interests of the imperial court are not the sum of the interests of all the people of the present, but also include the people of the past and the people of the future, and we should consider not only the people of the present, but also the wishes of the ancestors of the past, as well as the future of future generations. ”
Hearing Tianqi say that the imperial court should not only consider the current people, but also consider the past and the future, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Panlong, and Xu Guangqi all opened their mouths and were a little dazed. For a long time, officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee have never considered what the people of the past thought or what the people of the future should do, and although no one has raised this question for the present, it has become a tacit principle for everyone.
Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "This is a long story, you go back and slowly understand, now let's not talk about these things, let's talk about the relationship between the court orders and the wishes of the people∞ I think that if there is a contradiction between the requirements of the court and the wishes of the people, it can be simply divided into two kinds, one is to be able to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, and the other is to be unable to distinguish who is right and who is wrong." If you can't distinguish between right and wrong, the order of the imperial court must stop, which is the best way to follow the principle of the minority obeying the majority, and not being able to distinguish between right and wrong is the best way to follow the crowd. If you can distinguish between right and wrong, and the court is wrong, immediately change it, there is nothing to say, and the longer it drags on, the greater the people's resentment. However, if the court is right and the people are wrong, they have to talk about some strategies. ”
Gao Panlong said at this time: "The emperor is on the point, and the ministers have found out when dealing with many things, even if the court's approach is right, it is difficult for the people to convince because they don't understand. Just like Zhang Juzheng's reform back then, many people opposed him, but he insisted on not wavering, and even did not hesitate to use the power in his hands to forcibly implement it, and finally greatly improved the country's national strength. The emperor said that he wanted to talk about strategy, did he force it or was he going to use deception? The minister said directly, please ask the emperor not to blame. ”
Tianqi said: "Master Gao has a point, but I think that a single coercion and deception are not good□ Anshi and Zhang Juzheng are both great reformers, they are both coercive when implementing the new policy, and deception is supplemented, and in the end they have not been able to produce much results but suffer resentment∞ meaning that one is persuasion and the other is isolation, the so-called persuasion is to debate with people with different opinions, as long as you are really right, you will definitely get the final victory, unless your statement itself has major flaws. The so-called isolation is to do it without letting people know, and if you don't know it, you won't oppose it, and this situation is used in emergency and special situations, and it is generally based on persuasion. ”
Seeing that Liu Zongzhou didn't speak, Tianqi asked, "What is Lord Liu thinking?" What I said is for you to start from the overall situation and formulate some systems for farmers to smoothly switch to work, do you understand? ”
Liu Zongzhou said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister has long understood what the emperor meant, and the relationship between the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy is a relationship of mutual supervision and mutual help." There is nothing wrong with the Bo College thinking more about specific affairs, and the Holy College is in charge of the overall planning. However, the minister said to the emperor at the beginning that he should not only manage the present, but also manage the past and the future, how can our current people manage the people of decades ago and the things of decades later? Please ask the emperor to explain. ”
