Chapter 22: The Debate (1)

After the fat man left the stage, a voice came from the stands:

"If you train the people to eat, then the country will have food, so that the food of the country will be circulated, and the income of the world will be restored, and the people will be trained back."

"Training the people is the foundation, and the world is safe. Discipline the people to be rebellious, and the country is uncertain. ”

"Rootless trees and sourceless water, there has never been a high person in the world, and all the high ones are supported by countless people to support the people."

The above words are from the "Rope Classics", more than 1,500 years ago, and there has been a preliminary discussion of the training of the people and the national economy. Without the existence of the people, there would be no cornerstone for the existence of the state. ”

"The person who spoke is the grandson of the former minister of the former highness, and has always opposed the policies of the current lord." Seeing Mo Yun's puzzled expression, Bai Xian looked around and introduced to him, "What he said is the "National Pillar Policy" formulated by the National Policy Hall since the previous year, this policy is not good, many servants in our family who have not reached a certain Jin Liang are required to leave the Song Kingdom, even if they were originally citizens of the Song Kingdom. ”

"In fact, there are not many fat people in Song Kingdom, and most of them maintain a normal physique. This order has caused countless people to leave their homes, and it is very miserable. "There is an unbearable look on Bai Order's face.

"Today, I would like to take the opportunity of the 'Song Detention Discussion' to ask Lord Hong, can anyone still take off the banner hanging on your house?" Mo Yun saw a slightly chubby man over forty years old with gray hair slowly walking from the stands to the middle of the open space on the platform, this person was the grandson of the former highness and former minister.

The slightly chubby man asked his own question in one direction, and there was a slight commotion on the second floor of that direction, and a big fat man, with the support of several fat men in front and behind, finally stood up, and replied with a pant: "This mansion assisted His Royal Highness the Lord of the Kingdom to formulate this policy for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty Centennial Plan." If the wealth of the world is all in the Great Song Dynasty, and the number of Xunmin should also increase due to the growth of wealth, then a hundred years later, the rich people of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if the heirs of Xiao Shizi are still the Xunmin under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly whispered.

Bai Xianxian's face also changed slightly, and even Chao Gong, who had nothing to do with the Song Kingdom, frowned.

"Ridiculous! In order to maintain the rule of the family, ignoring the people, demolishing people's houses and expelling the people from the country, in the end it was for the sake of the Song Kingdom's century-old plan? So may I ask Lord Hong, if there are only people left in the Song Kingdom who are as pot-bellied and wise as the abyssal sea, then who will plant the crops? Who will carry the goods? Could it be that CD is produced and moved by the rich and self-reaped? Then who will add taxes to the Song State? Who circulates the wealth of the world? Let those who strategize be on top of it, and let those who benefit from it fall into the dust. Each performs its own duties and does its duty, so as to present a state that passes up and down. Xiao Shizi glared angrily.

Lord Hong's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "The Song State was founded on business, and the military strength and the people were insufficient. However, the usefulness of business is to communicate with each other and turn over the world. Over the years, how many wealthy merchants of the Song Kingdom have become guests of honor in the princes' thrones, and it is through the way of commerce and wealth accumulation of the Song Kingdom. Since the world has been turned, wherever the wealth is scattered, there will naturally be a grain and no shortage of servants for circulation. Moreover, the Beijin Duan clan inherited the national fortune of the Yan clan, and the financial difficulties were still above the Yan clan, and the wealth of the Song State was needed to be enshrined. Nan Chen died in civil strife and foreign strife, Nan Jun was ordered to Pu Temple, the founding of the country has been so far, but more than 40 years, when internal and external troubles, more need the help of the Song State. The Song Dynasty made friends with the two empires with financial resources, and used the way of business to and fro the princes, who dared to bully the Song State? Which prince is Song afraid of! Ladies and gentlemen, is it? ”

"Sophistry! What I am asking about is the survival of the people, you return to me to make friends with the princes, the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth. is so confusing that it makes us want to ask, whose Song Kingdom is this Song Kingdom? Xiao Shizi raised the horn and shouted at Lord Hong.

Everyone said in unison: "The Song Kingdom is the country of commerce!" ”

"You people who are vegetarians don't want to think about it. If it weren't for the mediation between the princes and the princes, and the compromise with the Northern Jin and Southern Jun, would the Song Kingdom still become your country of peace? If we can't show weakness, how can we be unified? Isn't it like the rise and fall of other countries, a breath of good and evil, coming in the morning and twilight? When it comes to the survival of the people, I think so. But please think about it again, the Song State does not have these arrangements, and Xunmin is not the tragic fate of a two-legged sheep. Even if it's you, I'm afraid it will be one of them. ”

Lord Hong continued, "The country of Shang is fortunate to be in the Plains of Battles, and it leads the world. Sadness lies in the plains of all battles, and all battles in the four fields. ”

"What Lord Hong said is reasonable, the country exists first, and the people survive. If the country does not exist, the people will perish. Some people nodded yes, thinking that Lord Hong's loyalty to the Gongti State was for the future development of the Song Kingdom, and also for the sake of not causing the princes to covet and made the decision of the "National Pillar Policy".

"Phew...... If there is no training, any family will have to die. Let's do our own laundry and cook, oops, it's miserable to think about. Bai Xian was very unhappy with Lord Hong's remarks.

Mo Yun listened to these things in the clouds, what kind of people and princes, he didn't care at all.

He was just thinking, this meeting of the Song Kingdom is two people arguing with each other here on a topic?

It's too boring, isn't it?

Xiao Shizi frowned and looked at someone in the stands as if asking for help, and the fat man shook his head.

Xiao Shizi stubbornly said: "Lord Hong, I naturally admire you for your dedication to the country, forgetting to sleep and eat to maintain the integrity of the Song Kingdom, and not being invaded by other countries." But there is one thing that Lord Hong understands, no matter how rich our people are, when facing real power, Langge's weapons are of little use. ”

Mo Yun's spirit shook slightly: "Langge? ”

"In fact, another reason for this 'Song Detention Discussion' is that Langge sold a lot of weapons to Song Guo a few days ago, and Song Guo spent no less than tens of millions of Jun coins for this. These moves have aroused opposition from many people. Bai Xianxuan introduced.

"Did Lang Ge sell weapons to Song Guo before?" Mo Yun asked.

"As far as I know, I ...... I don't know, this is a secret of the Song Kingdom. Bai Xian obviously knew something, and then shut up and said no more.

Mo Yun looked at Xu Buyan, and Xu Buyan spread his hands: "I'm just a fortune teller, I know what this is for?" ”

"At least, I haven't seen any curiosities produced by Lang Ge at home. According to my father's habit of collecting strange things, if Lang Ge, who is well-versed in the world, often trades with the Song Kingdom, my father should find time to buy some strange things. Bai Xuan said.

Mo Yun frowned, thinking that it should not be such a coincidence.

Lord Hong's voice sounded in the hall: "If it is not necessary, Song Guo will not buy these." However, once Song Guo buys these, it means that your way of thinking is aging and cannot keep up with further considerations. ”
