Chapter 247 [Baizi Teaches Me] The third update
"Phew! It's also thanks to you that you claim to be a famous scholar of old Qin's arithmetic, so the calculation is not clear? If you think about it, will I borrow money for nothing? Do you want money to sell the land to him? With so many hints, if you still don't understand, you're going to be spanked. โ
"Wait, wait, I'm a little messy, this Wei Ying is a little messy in order to succeed in changing the law, that is to use money, Lao Qin's treasury is not enough, most of the money has to ask you to borrow, you lend it to him, he can change the law, after the change of the law, there are benefits, you should give you some money and interest Well, Wei Ying will be very satisfied, and even thank you, I sold the land to him, that must make money, so I am also very satisfied, give some to your brother, it is also a matter of course?"
Du Zhi folded his fingers and counted for a long time: "Everyone can be satisfied and get benefits, but where do these benefits come from?" โ
"Think again?"
"I see, it's money that gives birth to money! It's amazing! In the past, I knew that the profit of the capital is nothing more than putting the money into production or buying the goods, and then using the goods for profit. But I've done the math, it seems that you're still earning the most brother."
"You're smart."
Bai Dong laughed, Du Zhi is also a smart person, but unfortunately he can only see the superficial effect of money circulation, and it is absolutely impossible to think about it further, but this is limited by the times, and it has nothing to do with his IQ.
***
In front of Bai Dong, Wei Ying seemed to be a completely different person, and Bai Chi sent hot fragrant tea and fruits. He doesn't seem to have much appetite either. Just looking at Bai Dong. There was a hint of excitement in his nervous expression, where was he still like the dashing scholar who climbed the flower tower in the rain and talked with Bai Dong about the way of Legalism?
"This debate in front of the king, fortunately with the support of Baizi, otherwise the audience will be full of opposition, and the martingale will be very wolf."
"If I don't support you, will you retreat when you encounter the opposition of the Manchu civil and military?"
Bai Dong looked at Wei Ying with a smile. Soon after he entered the house with his front foot, he sent a prayer post on his back foot, if it was just to win his follow-up support, then it would not be the Wei Martingale in history, and he would disappoint himself.
"Even if Bai Zi is against it, Martingale will adhere to the concept of changing the law, otherwise it will be a great favor to the trust of the king and the recommendation of Bai Zi!"
"Good! This is the Wei Ying I know, so it is in vain that I recommend you in front of you. Those who want to do great things will not swallow warm water, but must have fierce feelings. But being fierce doesn't mean being stubborn and arrogant, and the story of the 'tortoise and rabbit race' I gave you. I wonder if you have ever experienced the deep meaning of this? โ
"The rabbit is strong and fast, but it loses to the tortoise because it is too arrogant and slack. Bai Zi wants to tell sรน Wei Ying, even if he is a rabbit, he can't underestimate his tortoise-like opponent, since it is a game, he should go all out to the goal and not leave the opponent a chance. That's how Wei Ying understands it, and even more so does it. โ
Bai Dong was stunned for a moment, and laughed unconsciously: "It's bad, it's bad, Zuo Shu is bad!" โ
"Bad? I don't know where the martingale is wrong? โ
"The old Qin and Manchu Dynasty were civil and military, which one was a tortoise? I think they're all rabbits! Before Zuo Chang really fought, he regarded himself as a rabbit, thinking that everyone was a turtle, so abrupt and proud, I was afraid that you would lose more than that rabbit. โ
Bai Dong sighed slightly: "Isn't it good to be a turtle that can finally reach the end but will not attract attention?" The rabbit was running fast, but even if it didn't relax in the middle of the race, it would fall, right? The turtle is different, it will be steady and cautious with every step, so when it starts from the beginning, I know that it will definitely reach the end, isn't that better? Ten years to recover Hexi, fifty years to conquer the world, how far away is that? You have a lot of time, so why bother to be a person who is in a hurry, aren't you afraid of making a mistake, tripping over a stone, or falling into a trap dug by others? โ
"Wei Ying doesn't understand, once the goal has been established, he should devote all his strength, is there still a deliberate slowdown? If you want to be a fast rabbit, why do you want to be a tortoise? โ
"You still don't understand, it's only difficult to change the law, the first thing is that it is difficult to change the accumulated habits, and the law of the ancestors cannot be moved lightly; You want to abolish the well field system and let the cultivators have their fields, I agree, the ancestors had many concerns back then, but now Lao Qin has the conditions for rapid change, so you are doing the right thing. But you are not a sage, so the content of the new law is correct, right? As Du Zhi said, the emphasis on agriculture does not necessarily need to suppress business, the first monarch to open the market, promote the business exchanges of Lao Qin, and the annual tax is half of the annual income, how can you say nothing? I am in business with Doctor Shang, Du Sikong, and many other aristocratic families, do you want to treat us all as enemies? Do you have enough strength? That's the disadvantage of being in a hurry and not thinking about things. It is not terrible that people may be limited by their knowledge and cannot understand some truths immediately; The terrible thing is that he is self-righteous and does not seek knowledge, isn't he mistaken by the word 'urgent'? โ
"Me"
Wei Ying's chest rose and fell, and his wheezing voice became heavy, obviously unable to accept Bai Dong's statement, and wanted to refute it on the spot, but was stopped by Bai Dong: "Don't worry, there is a chance for you to refute me, now listen to me first!" I also know that Lao Qin has always had a bad style, such as women marrying early and getting pregnant, parents and brothers and children living in the same room but refusing to separate these bad habits hinder the people's national strength, and they need to be changed, but you have to force them to change with strict laws, and sweep away the accumulated habits and customs, but it is wrong in the word 'urgent'! โ
Bai Zi and Mr. Lu Yi's "Daughter Fang" Wei Ying also read it, Bai Zi proposed that 'late marriage and late childbearing' can greatly increase the average life expectancy of the Qin people is indeed the right way, and Martingale also saw Bai Zi and Mr. Lu Yi go to Lantian to implement this law. I thought that changing these habits and customs was exactly what Bai Zi wanted, but was it wrong? Could it be that this kind of major event related to the people's power and national strength will have to be delayed three times and implemented again after ten years? โ
Wei Ying couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but refute.
"Mr. Lu Yi and I are guiding the countrymen, not forced by legislation, you can't see the difference? You have to remember that the hardest thing in this world to change is habits. Chinese people are accustomed to parents and children living in the same room. It is habit, filial piety, and economic embarrassment. How can you change it in an instant with a single piece of law? If you want to force it, I am afraid that if those old nobles do not come to you for trouble, it will also arouse the opposition of the whole country, and then you will not be able to take care of yourself, and still have the energy to implement the new law? Don't forget it, your lord's belief in you today is because you are in a hurry to change the law, but you have to talk about the foundation of qualifications. You are just a down-and-out grandson who entered Qin to seek a future, if you touch the root of Lao Qin, do you really think that the king will protect you? โ
Wei Ying's words made Wei Ying sweat coldly, and he looked at Bai Dong with blank eyes: "It's so dangerous!" Please also teach me in Baizi"
"Didn't I want to teach you that I'm going to talk so much nonsense? Waste the well field and open up the field, so that everyone has their own field, this item is feasible; But there is no need to suppress business, so people don't have to say that you have tampered with the law of your ancestors; sit and sit in strict law, but kill fewer people; As for changing habits and getting rid of bad winds, it can be postponed slightly. You might as well divide the change into two phases. When your prestige grows, you gain a firm foothold in the court, and when the old Qin state is strong, it is not too late to change, and now you should understand the benefits of being a 'turtle'? โ
Bai Dong is bitter, that is, Wei Ying, a peer two thousand years ago, and a favorite figure who once made future generations his favorite. It's too lazy to pay attention to someone else.
"Listening to Bai Zi's words, it is like opening layers of fog, please accept the martingale!"
Wei Ying stood up very seriously, although he did not bow down, but respectfully bowed to Bai Dong at ninety degrees.
"Bai Zi is right, the martingale reform method should be divided into two steps, and in the early stage of the change, it will definitely not involve the customs and rules of the old Qin. However, the old Qin man was short of manpower, and agriculture was the foundation of the country, so Martingale would still adhere to the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and would put forward laws and regulations in the early stage of the law change; It is forbidden only for those who have returned farmland to do business, and it is forbidden to trade abroad and to be a merchant in the past dynasties. โ
"Hehe, you just have to put it forward, but the Manchu civil and military will definitely oppose it, and I won't support you again this time, I will only change your stubborn approach."
Bai Dong laughed, this is the real Wei Ying, if he is submissive because of his strength, what he says is what he says, then he is not a strong man in history, but he will disappoint himself.
"Martingale will definitely change Shirako's opinion too! The Qin people all say that Bai Zi has magic and ghost means, but Martingale still has to challenge Bai Zi, if he can argue with you again in the Liyang Palace, it seems that it is also a happy life? โ
Wei Ying smiled: "But if Bai Zi wants to persuade Martingale in the Liyang Palace, it seems that Martingale should also be allowed to get this opportunity to be persuaded." Today, Gongsun Jia has a problem for me, the martingale has not been changed, and the Qin people regard me as a stranger, it is really difficult to get the trust of the people, and I hope that Baizi will teach me. โ
"Haha, you're cunning, what do you want me to do, can't you think of a way to win the trust of the people?"
Bai Dong was stunned, the city gate standing wood is an allusion in the junior high school textbook, and every time the teacher tells it, he has to greatly praise Wei Ying's wisdom; Isn't this his forte, why can't he think of it? Could it be that he gave him too much convenience and made him dependent?
Thinking about it, there is no white son with magical means in history, Wei Ying wants to win the trust of the people, he will meditate and think hard, and come up with the method of 'standing at the city gate' with his own wisdom;
This guy is just lazy, and his lazy mind is together, and the road of wisdom is suddenly blocked, so he really can't think of a way, can this be regarded as changing history?
"This matter is really difficult, please teach me Baizi, Martingale knows that this matter must be difficult for you."
"Oh! For the sake of the king, it seems that I should also help you, and I will teach you a way. I will only say it once, this method is called 'City Gate Standing Tree', also called 'City Gate Standing Letter'"
It doesn't seem so terrible to change history, and I didn't lose an arm or leg because of it; Besides, he even dares to 'plagiarize' even 'adding troops and reducing stoves', what is Bai Dong afraid of? Moreover, it is still very rewarding to personally teach Wei Ying to use the 'city gate standing wood' to win the trust of the people. (To be continued......)
