Let Wen Hao think about whether it is good to change the law. This topic has been dealt with for a thousand years. Zhu said that he was rotten, and he had studied history and knew that the reform of the law would fail in the end, and since it failed, it means that the reform was problematic, and it was not a choice of history. The reasons for this are not only the imperfection and irrationality of the reform itself, but also the exploitation of the reform by the officials who enforce it, of course. There is also Wang Anshi's own personality, withdrawn and arrogant, and angry on the Internet. This is not something that can be clearly explained in a few words, and I can't explain my own historical knowledge clearly.

It has been more than ten or twenty years since the law was changed, and all kinds of problems that arose in the law change were reported to the emperor through various twists and turns. A few days ago, the emperor experienced the attitude of the common people towards the change, and Song Shenzong should have understood the advantages and disadvantages of the change. He now asks himself this question. In fact, it is not about looking for answers, but more about self-talk.

Du Wenhao instantly figured this out, "It's rare to be confused. Four words flashed out of his mind like lightning, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, changing the law is a major matter of the country, and the minister is just a small imperial doctor. I don't know anything about government affairs, and I really don't dare to judge myself

"Today, I just want to listen to how you, a person who doesn't understand government affairs, talk about government affairs, whatever you say today. Liandu forgives you innocence! ，

Du Wenhao was stunned for a moment. I warned myself not to be impulsive, impulsively is the devil, although the middle school history teacher had a profound evaluation of Wang Anshi's changes. These evaluations are the result of repeated research and argumentation by countless scholars for thousands of years, and they should be more accurate with hindsight, and they are very clear, but they are different in it, in particular, these evaluations are probably not what Song Shenzong wants to hear, and he is loyal to his ears, even if the emperor pardons him, he is not guilty, but he is afraid that he will not be happy in his heart, so why touch this tiger's ass again.

Thinking of this, Du Wenhao arched to the ground: "Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't understand the change, so he can't talk about anything."

Song Shenzong stared at him for a moment, snorted and pointed to the fold on the ground, "Then you can take a look at this fold first."

"Yes". Du Wenhao stepped forward and bent down to pick up the fold and bowed down to read. This is a secret military report from Lizhou, which borders Tubo and Dali on Chengdu's Fulu Road, saying that because of the Qingmiao Law, the local people have stirred up a popular uprising, mobilized troops to suppress it, and the mob has entered the mountains to raid and disturb the local area. At the same time, there were countless deaths and injuries among people and animals in the area. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Tubo tribal army attacked the border in small groups, and raided homes and houses.

Du Wenhao took a look. He bowed down and put the fold on top of the dragon case, and stood with his hands down, or a word.

Song Shenzong said: "What do you think?"

Du Wenhao thought about it and said cautiously: "As long as the people have a bite to eat, they will not get up to make trouble and cause civil unrest; There must be a reason, but whether this reason is because of the Seedlings Law, the so-called no investigation, there is no right to speak. Weichen was not in the local area, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"A good sentence, no investigation, no right to speak! You can say that again! You followed the private interview of Lianweifu and somewhat understood the Seedlings Law, which has been investigated, so tell me your views based on these feelings. Unite and say everything you say today, and Unite forgives you innocence! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen" The emperor let himself express his views twice, and then pushed Tan not to say it, but he was afraid that it would make the emperor unhappy and thought about it: "Weichen thinks that the Qingmiao Law itself is a good law, which can prevent the people from being exploited by the usury of local tyrants and inferior middlemen, and can increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, which can be described as a win-win measure."

Song Shenzong smiled. Nodding and saying: "You still have some knowledge, and it is an indisputable fact that Anshi has become full of French libraries. Tell me, why don't the people support such a good law?

Du Wenhao thought to himself. If the change only fills the treasury. But the people's pockets are deflated, and even the rice in the bowl is gone, so the people naturally won't support it. But it's still rare to be confused, so I changed the topic slightly: "The previous Weichen followed the emperor's private visit to Weifu, and Weichen talked with Wang Anshi about changing the law, and I heard that this green seedling method has been tested by him in the practice of the county, and Lord Wang is very welcome to borrow money from the people in the county to repay the people."

"That's right, why did it spread to the whole country and arouse public opposition? ，

Weichen thought. Originally, it was implemented in Bang County, and the scope was small, the localities were small, and all aspects were easy to deal with, so things would be easier to handle, and any problems encountered could be solved immediately, and the changes could be ensured to be implemented in accordance with the original plan. However, once it is popularized on a large scale throughout the country, it will be different, and the situation in different places will be different, and the problems encountered will also be different. As a result, the green seedling method has changed in many places, and it is not the original method

Du Wenhao's strategy of suppressing first and then promoting made Song Shenzong listen to it, in fact, these words have been mentioned a long time ago, and the policy of changing the law at the beginning was also "to do it and plan it slowly". But later, Wang Anshi was anxious for quick success and quick profit, a bit like the Great Leap Forward in the late 50s of New China, which did not act according to the laws of nature, and rebounded as a result.

If Du Wenhao's words were placed at the beginning of the change, Song Shenzong would definitely not listen to them, but now his mood is very different. Especially after witnessing the private interview of Weifu, he already had doubts about the correctness of the change itself, stared at Du Wenhao for a moment, and asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with this green seedling method." Gone sour?

Du Wenhao said that the middle school teacher's evaluation of the change was as he spoke, and now it was too late for the emperor to ask and close his mouth, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This time with the emperor's private interview with the people's micro service has the biggest feedback." It is the Qingmiao Law that has become a voluntary one, and the interest has also doubled, and instead of benefiting the people, it has become a heavy burden on the people

Song Shenzong nodded. He said in a deep voice: "The Union has investigated and dealt with many such officials, why do you keep prohibiting them in your opinion?"

"Lust for profit. People die for money, as long as it is profitable, there will always be those who do not hesitate to defy the law. Using power to make money has been a great temptation for officials since ancient times, and there are not many officials who can resist this temptation.

Of course, it's very sensational to have this heart but not this brain.

"Well, what do you think is the biggest problem with the Seedlings Method right now?

The emperor personally asked himself about his views on major national affairs, Du Wenhao couldn't bear to be young, his heart was hot, he forgot the four jade words that were difficult to fool, and blurted out: "Officials and businessmen do not distinguish between their disadvantages."

Song Shenzong's dragon body was shocked, and he slowly asked, "What do you mean?"

"The government should be the night watchman of the economy and society, not a direct participant".

Du Wenhao is not a graduate of economics, in fact, he doesn't understand economics, but he has studied political economy in middle school and modern social network, a generation, information explosion all kinds of information can't help but drill into your ears. Guan Gan has heard a lot of various assertions since he was a child, and he doesn't care if it's right or wrong. Anyway, there must be a reason for what people say.

This sentence was something that Song Shenzong had never heard before, and it was very novel, and he asked, "What government?" What night watchman?.

"The government is the official government, the imperial court, that is, the yamen, to put it simply, in economic exchanges, the imperial court and the yamen maintain order, and can formulate various rules for macroeconomic regulation and control. If there are no problems, the court can enjoy peace. If there is a problem, solve the problem and punish the violator, but do not do business directly. The imperial court could not keep officials in business, and they used their power to enrich their own pockets from the light profits, which has been proved by thousands of years of history. Of course, the anti-imperial court is not absolutely incapable of doing business, the imperial court must do business. It must be independent from the state treasury, set up an independent company with independent accounting and independent operation, and establish the necessary supervision and inspection mechanisms

Du Wenhao's words were too many modern words, which made Song Shenzong confused, but he did see a lot of things like Yamen business officials Danli, and he also knew that this was a common problem, but how to deal with it, he couldn't think of a good way. For the method proposed by Du Wenhao, he was unheard of, and frowned: "What company?" State?.

"A company is an institution that specializes in doing business, and state-run means that it is operated by the imperial court. Only by separating businessmen from the court officials and not relying on the power of the court can we avoid abusing their power and profiting from them.

This. Of course, Song Shenzong understood the truth, but there was a question he didn't understand, and asked: "Then how to make money and fill the treasury?" ”

"Your Majesty, the first priority of changing the law is to benefit the people, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the country and the people can be safe!

"Of course! What do you have in mind? ”

Change the law to Wang Anshi. Du Wenhao has studied in middle school, and the teacher has also commented systematically. He still has some impressions, and he has also thought about this in ordinary times, and the problem may be corrected by using some successful experiences and practices since the reform and opening up of modern times. Now that I've talked about this, I've also said some of my thoughts.

Du Wenhao coughed lightly. Said: "The emperor and his ministers think that the disadvantages of the Qingmiao Law mainly lie in the distorted interpretation of the officials in the implementation of the law, because this is a reform of the economic system. As long as there is official power involved, the officials will be driven by interests, and the implementation will be out of shape, and finally the policy of benefiting the people will become a policy of harming the people! So. In order to restore the original appearance of the Seedlings Law, it is necessary to reform the Seedlings Law, decouple the government from business, and turn government-run enterprises into private enterprises. Put it on the market and let the laws of the economy regulate it. in order to achieve a win-win situation

Du Wenhao's series of modern political economy words, the emperor was even more dumbfounded: "You are angry" You say it bluntly. How is it improved? ”

"The government is decoupled from the government-run enterprises and the joint-stock transformation of the government-run enterprises! , Du Wenhao couldn't find a more suitable word. After thinking about it, he still used modern words, and then explained: "To put it simply, the Changping and Guanghui positions, which are used for lending under the Seedlings Law, will be separated from the national treasury and used as the government's shares. Absorb the wealthy businessmen to take shares, convert the investments of all parties into shares, and the government and the wealthy businessmen jointly establish an enterprise. Specializing in the Seedlings Law Lending and Joint Management. Profit sharing is based on shares, and risks are shared.

Du Wenhao introduced the concept of limited liability company in the modern company law into the reform of the Qingmiao Law, looked at Song Shenzong with a surprised look and continued: "This enterprise must implement independent accounting, and the officials assigned to the investment part of the management government of this enterprise must be full-time, cannot work part-time in the imperial court and official government, and must not participate in the official power, and he must also have private shares. At the same time, the official investment cannot exceed half, the enterprise implements the shareholder system, abolishes the practice of fixed interest rates under the Seedlings Law, and decides on major matters such as lending interest by each shareholder, and the voting rights are based on shares, one share, one vote, and the minority obeys the majority.

"Wait!. Song Shenzong didn't understand it at all. Hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him. "You said slow down, slow down, slow down, I don't understand

Seeing that he seemed to be very interested, Du Wenhao couldn't help but bow down and agree, and when Song Shenzong sat down behind the dragon case, he motioned for him to sit down, and then sat down on the chair on the side with his ass crooked, and began to explain what a company is, and then the shareholding system, the establishment of a limited liability company, the respective functions and powers of the internal institutions, and the respective functions and powers of the shareholders' meeting, the board of directors, the manager, and the board of supervisors. Voting method legal liability, and then how to structure a public-private joint venture limited liability company to engage in BIBS lending.

Although he graduated from a medical university, he studied forensic science, and the subjects offered included civil law and company law, but they were electives, but fortunately he chose them at that time, so the basic knowledge of this area is still

Target.

Song Shenzong listened carefully. I didn't understand and asked in detail, and he didn't care about taking the medicine when the medicine came, so he asked Du Wenhao to continue to explain, so it took almost an hour to finally figure out Du Wenhao's idea.

Du Wenhao finally concluded: "The implementation of a joint-stock company that is decoupled from the imperial government and has independent accounting to engage in the green seedling method of lending can prevent the abuse of power by the imperial court officials, avoid forced apportionment, and the interest can also be flexibly decided according to the local grain production and market demand at that time, and avoid usury and need special attention." It is necessary to allow the local township to lend money to the people, and it is necessary to introduce a competition mechanism to put an end to the judgment of the people, so that the people can benefit, because the company is an independent operation, responsible for its own profits and losses, and concerned about its own interests, so that the shareholders can really be responsible and work together to do a good job in the enterprise, because without the official power as the backing, the company will not become a fish and meat for the people, and the people's institutions will have long-term vitality.

For Song Shenzong. It was a new system that had never been heard of before, and although it took him an hour to understand its main contents, it must have been too strange for him, and he muttered, "Your method is also novel. However, I heard that you often come up with this medicine in an ingenious way. Way. Lian is not unusual. It's just that what the United can't comprehend is extensive, and I'm afraid that all parts of the country can't understand it

"Therefore, it is necessary to proceed in an orderly manner, first carry out a pilot in a certain place, and after the pilot is successful, and then gradually promote it can not expect immediate results, and the reform needs patience

Song Shenzong smiled: "Hehe, you have come to teach the union."

Du Wenhao was shocked and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!"

"You're right. Lian Yexian's previous changes are indeed a bit quick to achieve quick results. There is no resolute implementation of the "for it, slow to plan." Principle. Well, the law is very innovative, and it gives new ideas to Lian. Very good. Let's listen to your opinion on the old method.

Du Wenhao was very happy and bowed down to think about it, and said, "Let's talk about the recruitment law first."

"Good

"The conscription law hires people to serve. The cost of the required funds was apportioned among the households according to the level of the households, and this method liberated the peasants who served in the service and increased the rural labor force, which was a very good situation, which not only solved the problem of labor service, but also increased the financial income of the imperial court and increased the manpower for farming

Song Shenzong said: "Then why is this good method resisted, and so many people disagree?" ，

"The key is to pay for those who were exempted from military service before, and it is good to say that for the privileged class, but for those female households that lack labor and are in financial difficulty, single households, and unmarried households and temple households, they also have to pay for military assistance. Even the lower households have to pay for it, and there is also the money for exemption from military service, and at the same time, the annexed family enjoys the preferential treatment of halving the loss. This is over, and the privileged class, of course, is not happy with the vested interests, and of course does not support the people who are really in difficulty and cannot afford to pay the money. There are too many enemies, although the treasury is full. A lot of the money that can be collected should not be collected, for example, although these people collect very little money, no matter how little money they have, it is an unbearable heavy burden for them.

Song Shenzong's face turned white for a while, and he said slowly: "Very good, you can continue to talk about your views on other changes."

"It's about the market law. On the surface, it seems that the government will purchase unsalable materials at market parity and sell them when they are in short supply, while at the same time increasing fiscal revenues and restricting large merchants from cutting off the market. It is also a good way to win together, but the same problem as the Seedlings Law lies in the government's business.

Since it is the government meddling in economic affairs, it will change the taste, which we have seen very clearly in Dongming County, it should have been to buy low and sell high, but to manipulate the officials, in order to make profits, they did not buy high and sell low in this way, but did the opposite. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits is a common disease for officials and businessmen, and this has been the case in all dynasties. And Weichen felt that this method was a little inappropriate

"What's wrong?

"The state has set up a municipal department. In fact, it is to turn a small number of businessmen's blockade over the market into a monopoly of the government on the market, because the government has the backing of public power, and no traders can confront the state, and the result will inevitably be that the big and small merchants will be squeezed out by the state, and they will lose money and die because they are unprofitable. The result is the elimination of competition, without which there can be no monopoly, which is the greatest enemy of the commodity economy, whether it comes from businessmen or the state. The same is true of the law of the market, and the same is true of the even-loss law."

Du Wenhao said happily and coldly peeked at Song Shenzong's pale face, not only did he feel a sudden shock, but the rare confused sentence came to his heart again, Nuo Nuo said: "Weichen is talking nonsense, please forgive the emperor for the inappropriate!" ”

Song Shenzong let out a sigh of relief. Said slowly: "Lian has already said, tonight what you say Lian will forgive you of your innocence." And you are not talking nonsense, you can see that what you said before is well thought out, it is reasonable, and to the point, it is thought-provoking, Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao, you are young, you already have this knowledge, only today's imperial doctor, you are indeed condescending. I can't imagine that there are talents like you by Lian's side. Hey.

Du Wenhao didn't know if Song Shenzong's words were from his heart or the opposite, so he said honestly: "Weichen doesn't dare to be"

"Tell me about other changes. Lenovo listened.

If you don't say anything, you will lose everything, so you can only bet on this. Coupled with the emperor's praise just now, Du Wenhao was somewhat enthusiastic*** felt that if he could help change the law and improve, he would even come up with something himself, "Du Wenhao changed the law." Maybe it can help the Great Song Dynasty become a world-class power. This is much more important than the practice of medical treatment, so he bowed down and said: "The Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Fangtian Average Tax Law are both good laws that benefit the people and benefit the people, and as long as they are resolutely implemented, their benefits will gradually become apparent." It's just that according to Wechen, the implementation of these good laws is not very strong, and the people don't get much benefit

What Du Wenhao said is said. Of course, it comes from the summary of those later critics who are hindsight, but Song Shenzong knew that the construction of farmland and water conservancy in the country did make him very dissatisfied, and the average tax on Fangtian was also very poor. Du Wenhao is not a person from the government, but he can know about it well and can't help but let Song Shenzong look sideways.

Du Wenhao continued: "The joint sitting system of the Baojia Law has not played a big role, because the Zhulian system is too strict, but it has made the people lose their sense of security and affect their sense of happiness, thus causing the people to resent

"Well, is there anything else?

Du Wenhao swallowed his saliva, turned his heart sideways, gambled to the end, and said: "The emperor and his ministers think that it is better to intercept the flow than to open source and compete with the people for money, it is better to open up foreign trade and earn money outside the territory to fill the treasury."

Song Shenzong frowned with a look of displeasure, and said, "How to earn the law?" ，

"Establishment of a state-owned foreign trade company. To carry out foreign trade, trade with Dali, Tumu, Daliao, and even Xifu to sell products outside Xinjiang, and the best way to make money outside Xinjiang is to trade with Goryeo and Japan to earn their lines.

"This is not a new idea. Song Shenzong smiled faintly, "In the past, all dynasties have been doing this, such as the Ancient Tea Horse Road with Tubo and the Silk Road in the Western Regions, isn't that the case?" ，

"It's just that the scale is too small, and most of them are limited to the private realm, and the variety of goods used for trading is too small and the cost is too high.

"Listen to this, what good things do you have for foreign trade?

After crossing over, Du Wenhao has been thinking about the idea of producing items in modern society in ancient times to make money, but he has been busy practicing medicine, and the money he made from the last prescription makes him don't have to worry about money at all, so he has no motivation to carry out these, and now he may be able to help the Great Song Dynasty enhance his national strength, and he bowed and said: "Weichen has some secret recipes and Ming, which can make products, and these products should be popular." These products are labor-intensive industries, that is, industries that require a lot of labor, widely promoted, and factories are built all over the country, which can not only create a lot of employment opportunities for the people, but also pay huge taxes to the imperial court

Du Wenhao didn't realize that Song Shenzong's smile had disappeared, his expression became indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Oh, what secret recipe?" Is it a drug?
