When Li Boyan arrived at the Li family's villa, Fan Niande happened to play chess with Zhao Ruyu again, so he squatted aside and watched.

After Fan Niande fell, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the white building busy?" ”

"Not really."

Fan Niande said with a smile: "A small food shop, it's been tossing for two months, the white mansion is ready-made, what flowers can be tossed?" Covered with a big black cover, it made it mysterious. ”

"This, when the White House opens, you will know when you come over."

Fan Niande stroked his beard, put his son down, and said: "Don't think that I will go to your thief ship, this white building is open, and the old man should not go to join in the fun, so as not to be framed as a collusion between officials and businessmen." These days, you're about to turn Yongzhou upside down! ”

"Where does this begin?"

Zhao Ruyu saw Li Boyan pretending not to know anything, so he continued: "I thought you were making a fuss, but I didn't expect you to do it." The tenants of your Li family are exempted from the Ding tax and household tax, and they also bear a part of the field tax, so that the tenants all over the city have sharpened their heads and want to be the tenants of your Li family. Many nobles have gone to the government office to ask you what Li Dalang wants to do! ”

"What? Loser. Li Boyan smiled and brought the tea handed by Fan Bingbing, and pinched the little girl's nose by the way.

Xiao Nizi rubbed her nose, said in a milky voice that her nose would be pinched, and shaved Li Boyan viciously, and ran away.

Fan Niande saw that Li Boyan didn't reply well, so he scolded with a smile: "Zhao Xianggong obeyed your wishes and resigned from your official position, and your wings are stiff now?" It's not good to talk anymore, is it? Even Zhao Xianggong and the old man don't pay attention to it? ”

"How dare Bo Yan? Aren't they all rumored that I'm such a loser? ”

Zhao Ru smiled foolishly: "I don't shout like that now." They all shouted that you are Li Dashan, pay taxes and rent free, how many poor people envy such a good deed? It's just that doing so, the policy of benefiting the people, after all, is still limited to your Li family's one-third of an acre, and from a macro point of view, there is no change. ”

"Zhao Xianggong deserves to be from a high position, and you have discovered it."

Zhao Ruyu chuckled, "This is laughing at the old man?" ”

"How dare you." Li Boyan said, "Doing this in the later years is not to be idle, but to do good and benefit the people, but to present a new model." ”

"New mode?" Zhao Ru looked at Li Boyan in confusion, unable to figure out what this new model meant.

Li Boyan continued: "The students have been thinking about it for a long time these days, and the second prince can know where the illness of the Great Song Dynasty is? ”

Zhao Ruyu and Fan Niande glanced at each other and put down the chess pieces in their hands. Li Boyan suddenly talked about such a serious topic, which made the two old men feel a little confused.

"The illness of the Great Song Dynasty is naturally in the north, and the threat of the Jin people, the annual coin, gives the official family a headache."

Li Boyan shook his head and said, "This is an external disaster. The real hidden disease of the Great Song Dynasty may be in it, and I don't know why. ”

Zhao Ru smiled foolishly: "Let's hear it." ”

"Dare to ask Zhao Gong, what is the money of the Great Song Dynasty made of?"

Zhao Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Naturally, it's copper, this big man asked knowingly, what is he doing?" ”

Now they are afraid of this flamboyant Li Boyan, and even Mr. Xishan has folded on his cannonballs, for fear that Li Boyan will do anything bad to them again.

"So, dare to ask Zhao Gong, is the copper kettle money?"

"Of course not."

"What about the bronze Buddha? Is it money? ”

Zhao Ruyu shook his head and smiled: "Let's put it this way, except for the copper coins you are making now, the rest of the copper objects are not." Even a three-year-old child knows this, so Da Lang won't know it, right? ”

Li Boyan smiled: "So, what about jewelry made of gold and silver? For example, the golden hairpin on Aunt Ru's head, can it be counted as money? ”

"Go, go, give an example of what you Aunt Ru are doing? If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush. Fan Niande was angry and shouted.

Zhao Ruyu felt that Li Boyan would not be untargeted, so he said: "Gold and silver jewelry can naturally be sold and exchanged for money." Of course, if you don't like to discount the capital, then it's okay to buy things with hairpins. ”

"Then Zhao Gong has ever seen a copper basin or a copper Buddha to buy and sell directly?"

"Hehe, naturally not."

Li Boyan said: "In this case, the imperial court mints so many new copper coins every year, which is equivalent to saying that the money in circulation is increasing every year, why is the tax money not increasing?" ”

"This question...... The old man has never held the position of the third division, so it is difficult to answer you. ”

Li Boyan said with a smile: "That night, I will tell you, as far as I know, there are more than 2,000 Buddhist temples in Lin'an, and there are many bronze Buddhas in the temple, and there are new additions every year. Pilgrims gather, and every household has a small bronze Buddha to worship. Now Zhao Xiang understands, where did all the copper coins go? ”

Zhao Ruyu didn't feel any problem when he heard it, for tens of millions of taxes per year, these are simply drizzle.

"Let's talk about Terada. Mingzhou Tiantong Temple, the temple field reaches thousands of acres, 10,000 acres on the mountainous land, Lin'an on the Tianzhu Temple, since Shaoxing three years, the official family gave the mountain field of more than 20,000 acres, and then Zhao Xiang is ready to go to Fuzhou last year, the temple field accounts for two percent of the people's land, the believers are endless, and the incense is extremely prosperous. Where did the money go, Zhao Xiang should have some understanding now, right? ”

"Fuzhou's Terada, really accounts for 20% of Mintian?"

Li Boyan nodded and said: "These are all the results obtained by sending people to research and verify in the late life, and besides, land annexation, rich and rich tuntian......"

When Li Boyan said this, Fan Niande looked at him with strange eyes, as if to say, this word came out of the mouth of Li Banzhou's descendants, as if the taste was not very right.

"This land annex ......"

"Fan Gong doesn't need to be a big man with a tail note, he is a big landlord like me."

Fan Niande nodded, and said in his heart, it's good if you know.

"Nowadays, the imperial court taxes are so heavy that even planting some floating crops such as water chestnuts and lotus roots on the lake have to be taxed, and those who are poor and landless are miserable. The strange circle of the Great Song Dynasty was born. ”

"Strange circles?" Zhao Ruyu listened a little hairy.

Li Boyan said: "The rich have a lot of land to give to Qianmo, the poor have no place to stand, the Ding tax, the household tax is heavy, and there is a forced labor, etc., some spare money, but also to the Bodhisattva Buddha incense, this is the strange circle of the Great Song Dynasty." No matter how developed commerce and trade are, no matter how many taxes and policies there are, the poor people are still so poor and so miserable, and they have not changed in the slightest. ”

"This has been the case in all dynasties, right?"

Li Boyan looked at the two old men and said: "If the wind and rain are smooth, under such a model, the people will be more miserable, but the dynasty will not collapse, but in the event of natural and man-made disasters, this strange circle is so fragile that it is vulnerable." ”

After listening to this, Zhao Ruyu pondered for a long time and said: "The old man originally thought that the problem of three redundancies was already the biggest stubborn disease in the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect to hear Da Lang say this, and the Great Song Dynasty is a stubborn disease from top to bottom. ”

"Da Song is lucky enough. Throughout the previous dynasty, heavy agriculture and suppressed commerce, such a strange circle is even more fragile, and now the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous in commerce and trade, which can make the capital move south after it can still be in a corner of peace. ”

Fan Niande heard the meaning of Li Boyan's words, and asked rhetorically: "What does Da Lang mean, can Xingshang avoid this strange circle?" ”

Li Boyan said: "In the Great Song Dynasty, there is no real businessman. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The late-born eldest father should be a very successful businessman, right?"

Fan Niande nodded and said, "I have to say that there were only a handful of businessmen in Lin'an who could be as famous as your grandfather Li Xunde. ”

"However, what about the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty after they have money? They are all buying farmlands, and they can't escape this strange circle after all. What's worse is that grabbing land with farmers has accelerated the operation of this strange circle. ”

Zhao Ruyu frowned and said, "Then what can Da Lang do to stop this strange circle?" ”

"Zhao Gong and Fan Gong are both sensible people, and they have a lot of support for the late life, and they can believe the words of the late life's family, but such as Mr. Hui Weng and Mr. Xishan, they are all masters of the world. These capable people with lofty ideals in the Great Song Dynasty are still preaching the scriptures and trying to cure this stubborn disease with moral principles, which is also the reason why the late Song Dynasty persuaded Zhao Gong to re-establish a new school. ”

Zhao Ruyu frowned and said, "You have a good prescription?" ”

"There is no basis for the words, and please wait and see the changes of the second prince, and when the time is ripe, everything will fall into place. Now just by pulling the kid's upper and lower lips, let the officials and the ministers in the court believe it, do you think it's possible? ”

"Da Lang has such a concept, which is really impressive. Can I wait for the day when I am dying? ”

Li Boyan nodded and said, "Yes!" When the Li family's one-third of an acre of land is enough to feed all the people in Yongzhou, it will be the day when the new school will shine. ”

"Poof, ahem."

Fan Niande squirted out a mouthful of tea, "Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things!" ”

Even Zhao Ruyu laughed heartily and muttered to himself: "It's good to be young, bold and ambitious, and the future is terrifying!" ”
