Huang Jie's rhetoric was naturally guided by his uncle Yao Zheng, and now he is so sonorous and powerful, even if he calms the scene.

Huang Jie looked left and right, but he also saw that among the people surrounding the county government, most of them were middle-aged men and women in their thirties and forties, and there were very few young men and women, and there were very few old people. After slowing down more than ten counts, and no bold person really came to plead for the thieves in Heifeng Village, Huang Jie simply took the initiative, walked down the steps in two steps, and crossed his hands at an old man with sideburns: "The old man is polite!" If you have any advice, please give me some advice! ”

The old man with flower temples didn't expect that he was picked out, so he was so frightened that he took two steps back and hurriedly waved his hand, but he found that Huang Jie's eyes were shining, and he knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he glanced at Hu Deng, the county commander standing in the yamen, and crossed hands with Huang Jie and said, "This ...... What the official envoy said is not bad, all the people in the Black Wind Village are thieves, and this time they are caught...... Also...... Alas! ”

The old man with flower temples couldn't go on, and after a long sigh, he also waved his sleeves and turned away, and as the old man with flower temples turned away, the people gathered in front of the county government also spontaneously turned around and left, and they walked away in an instant.

Seeing this situation, Huang Jie was still surprised, but Hu Deng showed joy on his face, and hurriedly invited Huang Jie back to the back hall to continue the banquet, but no matter how Huang Jie knocked on the side, he refused to explain the reason for the matter.

When the first shift was near, Huang Jie also deduced that he was sleepy, and Hu Deng personally led Huang Jie to the official post to rest, and sent Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao to lead more than 20 messengers to guard outside the official post.

Huang Jie returned to the room to meet Wan Chunnu and his daughters, and learned that after entering the city, the official had invited a famous doctor in the city to diagnose and treat him, and Sun Jiuniang had just woken up not long ago. This reassured Huang Jie a lot.

However, Sun Gu soon invited Sun Xin to see him. said that when Huang Jie was at the county banquet, Sun Xin hurriedly brought only two entourages to meet.

As soon as they met. Sun Xin said: "Da Lang, I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time!" ”

Huang Jie couldn't help but wonder, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Heifeng Village is not a den of thieves, but a righteous village?" ”

Sun Xin shook his head and said: "The Black Wind Village is not in Xuejia Mountain, but in the west of Hanchuan County, not far from the Fen Lake, said to be a cottage, but it is actually a water village, when I led people to go, Xue Siniang told me the truth." This habitual thief in the Black Wind Village. There are only more than 50 people, and the remaining more than 400 thieves and their families are actually good people who have escaped from Hanchuan County in recent years. ”

Huang Jie was also curious when he heard it, and when he was about to ask carefully, the official of the official post led an old man with sideburns. said that the doctor who had come to treat Sun Jiuniang before had now prepared medicine for a follow-up visit, Huang Jie saw it, but he also recognized that it was the old man with temples who wanted to stop talking before, so he hurriedly invited him in, and then retreated. Leaving only Sun Xin, Sun Gu and Hua Rong, they asked him why.

This old man with sideburns is the doctor surnamed Gong Mingtao in the Zhengyi Hall in the north of the city, and Doctor Gong Tao saw that Huang Jie was really humbly asking for advice. He also said bluntly: "The official envoy came from Huangzhou, and he should know the Qingmiao Law, right?" This Hanchuan County ordered Hu Deng. Since April of the second year of Daguan (1108), the Qingmiao Law has been forcibly implemented in the county. does not borrow from poor households, but only from middle and lower families, and often counts hundreds of times, and the people are miserable and flee one after another. That Wang Hu and Heifeng Village were originally a good den of thieves, but when they saw the poverty of the people of Hanchuan, they also moved their hearts of compassion and opened the village to contain them. Today, the official envoy saw the people in front of the county office, and every family had relatives and friends who used to avoid trouble in the black wind village, so this is the reason. ”

Huang Jie was even more surprised when he heard it, but he reacted immediately when he mentioned the Qingmiao method.

This is related to the Qingmiao Law, which is also mentioned above (see Chapter 187), this law was first proposed by Wang Anshi, to put it bluntly, it is an agricultural assistance loan, after Wang's death and the law was abolished, Sima Guang launched version 2.0, followed by version 3.0 launched by Cai Jing today.

In other words, the previous Wang Anshi version and Sima Guang version were based on voluntary loans, and a certain amount of money could be lent to the people depending on the level of creditworthiness. However, the version launched by Cai Jing is: 1. Lending targets are issued to local governments, and farmers have to borrow whether they need it or not! Second, the more land or industry a farmer has, the greater the amount of compulsory borrowing! Third, if they can't afford to pay it back, the peasant households have to use the converted houses and land properties to mortgage the government to repay the debts, and if they can, they will be forced to lend more loans to the peasant households next year!

That's right, this is version 3.0 of Cai Jing!

In the first year of Cai Jing Daguan, he worshiped the left servant, Taiwei, and Taishi, and in April of the second year of Daguan, the world promulgated this law, ordering the Great Song Dynasty to pass 100 states, prefectures, and counties have been implemented, and the success or failure of the implementation is recorded in the official examination.

It's just that for the county orders, prefects and governors in many places, how can such chaotic and evil laws that disturb the people and harm the people be enforced, and they either directly refuse to implement them, or shirk them for some reason.

Who would have thought that this small Hanchuan County, not far from Huangzhou, implemented Cai Jing's Qingmiao Law meticulously, and forced the people in the county to abandon their homes and flee to become thieves.

Hearing this reason, Huang Jie scratched his head, and said: "Even so, how should he talk about robbing on the cross slope and killing him for money?" ”

Gong Tao smiled bitterly, and then he also brushed his beard and said: "This matter, the old decay can't say it well, and the official needs to distinguish it!" ”

Then Gong Tao also got up and retired, and went to boil medicine for Sun Jiuniang for a follow-up visit, leaving Huang Jie and the others to think about it.

Hua Rong also said: "Uncle, this Qingmiao method is powerful, and all parts of Shandong also suffer from this evil law, so I don't know why the imperial court wants to do this evil law?" ”

Huang Jie smiled when he heard it, when he and his uncle were studying how to accommodate the homeless people who settled in Huangzhou for tea households, he listened to his uncle's explanation, and he naturally kept it in mind, so he said: "This matter is a long story, and when it comes to talking about it, we have to start with Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da. ”

It is said that after Cai Jing reverted in the first year of Daguan, he came up with a set of economic theories from the Book of Changes, that is, "Feng, Heng, Henan, and Da".

There is a hexagram in the "Book of Changes" that says: "Feng Heng, the king is fake; Yu has great gains, and great ambitions are also. ”

That is to say: when the king is at his peak, he should advocate grandeur in everything, and he should not worry too much about the lack of wealth, but should move according to the principles of heaven, and Wang De will naturally shine on the world like a day in the sky.

Therefore, according to the hexagram of "Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da", Cai Jing created a set of unprecedented economic theories: everyone can only quickly produce wealth by spending as much money as possible, and if there is one person in the world who is reluctant to spend money, there will be many people who have no money to earn, and if everyone is reluctant to spend money, everyone in the world will have no money to earn.

Almost a thousand years later, John Maynard Keynes, who is said to be the founder of Western macroeconomic theory, repeated Cai Jing's theory in more precise language: when the economy is in recession, the government should expand the fiscal deficit, expand the project with the power of the state, improve public facilities, and let people make money, so as to stimulate economic prosperity as soon as possible! Otherwise, no one consumes, and producers can't make money; If you can't make money, producers will compress production; Shrink production, and more unemployment will be generated; The more people lose their jobs, the more consumption will be curtailed, and then there will be an economic crisis.

According to the theory of "Feng, Heng, Henan, and Da", Cai Jing put forward his own policy program, that is: as the emperor, the Song official family should be the first to take the lead in spending money, and the royal family and officials at all levels should build official offices, canals, palaces, and gardens, and the homeless people are not homeless if they have money to earn, and the homeless people will not go to have nothing to do if they have food, and the homeless people will eat, drink, dress and repair the house when they have income, and the merchants will have to pay taxes if they make profits, and the world's treasury will be more and more full, the so-called "Feng and Heng"; The emperor's palace, hundreds of officials, and people's houses will become wider and wider, the so-called "Henan, big"!

In this way, the world can be determined! (To be continued.) )
