Chapter 478: Yu Lu and the Country
The spring sun is warm but not dazzling, shining on the still arid Maoliang ravine, but by the roadside stream, the most drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant star grass, still tenaciously in this piece of monotonous yellow, stubbornly drilled out, greedily bathed in the warm sunshine, and struggled to stretch the weak two sharp buds, showing the green of life, telling all creatures in this world that spring, not postponed because of natural disasters, is still coming.
The sunshine and the south wind with the fresh smell of the star grass run into the cave in the open door of the cave, squeeze away the cold and haze of winter, and make the air in the cave fresh and lively.
"I want to be paid."
Lu Shi was in the cave, and after talking about business with Chen Ce, who came to report the spring ploughing arrangements, as well as the idle and outrageous Guotianxing, and then the third uncle who urged Lu Shi's marriage, he seriously raised this issue.
As soon as these words came out, the cave, which was originally sunny and sunny, immediately fell into dark clouds.
Chen Ce's expression was like a mournful examination, his face was pale, and his lips trembled for a long time before he asked hoarsely: "Could it be that King Chuang, you will no longer take us to fulfill your original promise to the city gate?" Is it going to be a void in our pursuit? In that case, what is the point of our efforts and struggles? β
Lu Shi was stunned, what does it have to do with his salary?
Guo Tianxing's face was defeated, and he no longer had the original hanger, so he asked Lu Shi in a long voice: "Sir, do you still want to be virtuous?" Are you still going to be able to run away? How can you understand my heart? Then he stood up tremblingly and bowed deeply to Lu Shi, "For hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders, for the fathers and brothers who have followed you for thousands of miles to break through, please stay." β
Lu Shi hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly helped Guo Tianxing up, "Hurry up, who said I was leaving, I just wanted to talk about my Yulu problem, this seems to be right, I am also conscientious for the base, for the sake of my brother, I didn't dare to be lazy, is it wrong for me to ask for Yulu?" β
The third uncle's hands and feet were cold, and he was only trembling, and said eagerly: "Could it be that I drove you crazy?" Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "I won't force you anymore, Chunlan's dowry, I will come out alone." Looking at Lu Shi's puzzlement, he said helplessly: "Originally, I thought that Chunlan would abandon her brother alone and follow you wholeheartedly, and if she was helpless, I would give the dowry, but now it seems that I will also give you a dowry, and my parents will give a dowry for their son, which is also a matter of course." β
"Dad, where do you start? I didn't mean that, I wanted to pay for it, and I also wanted to raise a dowry. β
Chen Ce said: "King Chuang, if you have the heart to achieve hegemony and lead us to live the kind of life of the world that you said, then don't mention it again." Chen Ce said bitterly.
His proposal was immediately met with nods of approval from the other two.
"Why is that?" Lu Shi was confused, "I want to lead everyone to realize that ideal, and I will never change this." "Firmly expressed his determination, when Yanchuan fought and his brother and sister-in-law died, he never had the idea and plan to go to the south to live a rich man, so he was bent on taking everyone to struggle to survive in this troubled world, but now, how can he be suspected?
Hearing Lu Shi's confession again, the three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, restored their original appearance, and continued to talk about spring ploughing, and Lu Shi fell into helplessness again.
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with my ideals." Lu Shi interjected and asked.
Chen Ce was surprised by Lu Shi's idiotic question, looked at Lu Shi carefully, and after confirming that he was not sick, he said very indifferently: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, don't you understand?" β
Lu Shi nodded, thought about it and shook his head.
Chen Ce was very helpless, so he explained: "That is to say, you are rich in the base now, and you will be rich in the future, so what do you want?" β
The third uncle poked his head out with Guo Tianxing and asked, "Have you heard that the emperor has a fortune?" β
Lu Shi was only dumbfounded.
"If you're going to make money, then what are you? So why are we still following you? Chen Ce was very serious again, and explained to this monk, who didn't know anything, or a little monk.
"We are all serving the people, including me." When Lu Shi said this, he was right.
"Yes." Chen Ce struck with both palms and agreed, "The Supreme of Ten Thousand Vehicles must also be for the well-being of the people in this world, or you will be a faint king." At this time, Chen Ce definitely has the temperament of a minister who has been up and down for 5,000 years, and is ready to start educating this Lu Shi, who may be inferior to the faint monarch.
"However, I mean, this world belongs to the people, not his Zhu family, but it is not mine, we are just doing things for the people, so I also need to support my family." Lu Shi hurriedly explained.
Of course, Chen Ce was disdainful, and there was only one reason to refute him: "If the world belongs to the people, if there is anything in my government affairs, I should arrest every citizen and ask, then what do I ask you for?" β
At that time, Lu Shi was almost choked to death, and before he could smooth out his breath, Guo Tianxing also Shi Shiran said: "That's it, militarily, I just ask my aunt and aunt, and ask you what you are doing to break the king, it's too much." β
I couldn't catch my breath anymore and looked at the third uncle.
The third uncle immediately said: "If that's the case, I'll just ask my wife, how old are you." β
I couldn't breathe at all.
The concept of home and country, the country, churned in Lu Shi's heart countless times, and then, there was only a long sigh in vain, at this time, in this era, is it useful to talk to them about the distinction between home and country?
From the dragon's work, allegiance to one person, this is formed over thousands of years, and it is impossible to talk about it with them. At the same time, in this era, talking about democracy, talking about the country, and talking about all the ideas of later generations can only make everyone's original ideas completely collapse, at a loss, and there is no benefit, now, it is better to do it according to the current people's cognition, at this time, Lu Shi began to complain about those ancestors who passed through, your autobiography is to be windy and rainy, there is countless gold and silver, and democracy is practiced in the Warring States, which is simply poisonous and harmful.
Now Lu Shi has seen through it, the richest person in this base area does not need to be rich, but this richest person is penniless, what kind of logic is this?
No, if this is the case, then your dowry will be gone, then your marriage will be over, then you will not only cross over, but you will not have the kind of rich and rival country that crosses the public, and there will be no possibility of stallions, and the saddest thing is that you really become a monk, a monk who is not willing.
However, the eyes lit up, according to their own short historical knowledge, the emperor's salary is calculated according to the state income of thirty percent, into the private treasury, a lot, it is said that Emperor Chongzhen was always forced by the minister to take the inner treasury silver out to support the country, one after another, endlessly, finally, Li Zicheng hit Beijing, as a result, this will want to use the inner treasury silver, to give the Guanning iron horse into the Guanqin King three million opening fee, the result is sad to find, no, only including Wang Chengen's donation of 300,000, so can only hang.
So he interrupted the three people who were talking, and said with a face: "Then I follow the rules of the emperor of this era, and I have 30% of the cottage income, as the inner library, this should work." β
"Nope." The three of them objected loudly together, their voices were neat, their attitudes were resolute, and their voices were loud, and they put down Lu Shi, who was originally standing, at that time.
"This, this, why not?" Hero short of breath.
"There is no income from the base area." The third uncle was the first to lay out the facts.
"But isn't there already a tax revenue?" Lu Shi argued with reason, if there is no more this, then he will really become a part-time worker.
"I can't make ends meet." The third uncle gave him a look at the time, and then suddenly said to Lu Shi: "According to your theoretical rules, it will be done." β
Lu Shi has hope again, and there is hope if there is taxation, although it is not much, according to the rule of thirty percent, the fifty thousand taels is also one thousand five hundred taels, okay, everything is enough.
The third uncle snapped his fingers and said, "Now, our tax is more than 50,000 yuan, but what about the expenses?" It's too much, if according to this reason, you need to take 30% here with money, then it's not enough, do you still have to take out 30% to fill it? β
Lu Shi was dumbfounded, but the third uncle was happy, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." β
Lu Shi shrank back and asked confidently, "What?" β
The third uncle said confidently: "Thirty percent of the deficit." β
Lu Shi is crying, isn't this what he is looking for, not only does he not get the money now, but he has made a deficit, does this still have to live?
"Then forget it." According to the experience of later generations, the best way to develop is a deficit economy, so why don't you fill it up and become a beggar without pants? Lu Shi surrendered, absolute surrender.
"Okay, then you're giving up." The third uncle is very happy that Lu Shi is generous, this is the emperor's mind.
Chen Ce stood up and gave Lu Shi a history lesson again, and Lu Shi knew that this rule was only available in the Qing Dynasty later, and now there is none, the current emperor relies on tribute, and Huangzhuang, and then in addition to the regular tax, the income from the monopoly of mines and sea trade to support the family, among which the Huangzhuang tax, local tribute, tribute from the vassal countries and the monopoly income presided over by the palace are also used to subsidize the Beijing officials, pay the imperial guards, give rewards to the army, and pay living expenses to the princes, princesses, and concubines.
"Let's talk about Huangzhuang first, this is what we are most opposed to right now, so you see-"
"We can't do this." Lu Shi resolutely opposed the Huangzhuang, now the Tianxiatian, one-fifth of the Huangzhuang, and then close to two-fifths of the Wangtian, and the rest are almost all annexed by the landlords, this is the foundation of the people's livelihood, so this must not be done this.
Chen Ce deeply gave a gift to Lu Shi, who seemed to be a Ming Jun: "I will bring thousands of people and future generations to thank King Chuang for his righteousness." β
Lu Shi accepted it with a smug face.
"Then the issue of monopoly, as you said, monopoly is not desirable, so it should also be abandoned."
"Yes, everything is based on the market economy, and we cannot engage in any state-owned monopoly."
**οΌ I don't dare to say that it is implemented now, it is a return to the primitive society, but since the beginning of thousands of years, it is impossible to achieve, think that some people idealized the naΓ―ve implementation, then the result is how tragic and miserable, the teachers of later generations must not forget.
"We don't have a mine yet, let alone sea trade."
"Even if there is, it can't be exclusive, and it should be carried out in the form of trade, so that the potential can be revealed." Lu Shi resolutely refused, and the reason was referred to above.
"Local tribute, that is a bad habit, absolutely fuels the habit of local officials to scrape and exploit the people." Chen Ce cut the nail on the head.
"Yes, setting up a name for one person is blackmail to the people, and we will never do it." The reasons are still referred to above.
Chen Ce gave Lu Shishen a salute excitedly again, and when he raised his head, he was already teary-eyed: "I have a clear master, Chen Ce is smeared with liver and brain." β
Lu Shi also had a sense of achievement, so he said awe-inspiringly: "Anything that is not good for the people's livelihood, everything that is not good for the family and country, we must abandon it, we rebel, that is, change the dynasty, since the dynasty has changed, then we must get rid of all the old evils, promote the new beneficial, and truly create us a great harmony in the world." β
After a generous speech, everyone rejoiced.
But after Lu Shi sat down, he thought calmly, no, if this is the case, where does his income come from? How to feed a small family? Not to mention that after he really became the emperor, where did the subsidies for the Beijing officials, the salaries for the imperial guards, the rewards for the army, and the living expenses for the princes, princesses, and concubines come from?
Lu Shi completely collapsed, and thought to himself, I hope that those brothers who are still obsessed with crossing and becoming kings and emperors will wake up and be honest as a person who gets a salary in the 21st century.
