Jiang Hexing suddenly realized that the origin of King Zhou Li's "patent" system should also be here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no wonder Xu Langfei said that "Zhou Li" was made in the era of King Zhou Li.

It seems that Wang Mang wants to adopt this "patent" system first.

Then, Jiang Hexing read the chapter on the city official, which was exactly what Gao Peng memorized a few days ago, and because Jiang Hexing understood it better, he didn't bother Wang Mang to explain.

Finally, Wang Mang focused on the method of credit loans, the introduction of Zhou Lizhong, and how he implemented it.

After speaking, Wang Mang looked at the river and said: "He Shunhou, now you understand the painstaking work of the imperial court, right?" ”

Jiang Hexingdao: "A good intention does not mean that the result is good, after all, the people are realistic." As I said earlier, people are not children.

Judging from "Zhou Li", such a setting has a new term in our "republic". ”

"What, is that the same with your republic?" Wang Mang stood up and asked Jiang Hexing eagerly.

Jiang Hexing shook his head and said: "We just have an explanation for this, not that our "republic" is like this. We call it 'big government.'"

Wang Mang asked, "What is the government?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "It's almost the meaning of the imperial court." ”

Wang Mang exclaimed: "This name is well chosen, the government of the government, you really have talents there." ”

Jiang Hexing ignored Wang Mang's admiration, and then said: "The meaning of the big government is that the government is in charge of everything, just like in "Zhou Li". The government collects high taxes, but these taxes are spent on the people.

We call it "Take from the people, use it for the people." ”

"Okay", Wang Mang shouted hello, patted the dragon book case, and then said, "I said that you have a lot of talents there." This is taken from the people and used for the people to express all the intentions of the court, or you understand the painstaking efforts of the court. ”

Jiang Hexing couldn't cry or laugh, as if Wang Mang had found a soulmate again.

Jiang Hexing continued: "Your Majesty, although it is said that 'take from the people and use it for the people' is very good, it is not easy to do. There are many conditions for this to happen. ”

Wang Mang said: "What conditions do you want there?" ”

"First of all, we should not treat the people as children, but as adults. That is, the decisions made by the government cannot be made for the people because the government thinks it is good. The government can only implement it with the consent of the people. Popular consent is the basis of the Government's measures. ”

Wang Mang said: "Confucius said that the people can make it, but they can't know it. To ask the people to agree, to make them understand, what else is the court going to do? How could they understand the painstaking efforts of the imperial court? As long as the people have immediate benefits, how can they think that the imperial court will give them a long prosperous life, so that they can live a good life forever.

If you have the people's consent, nothing can be done. For example, now the imperial court wants to use new money, but many confused people always use five baht money. ”

Jiang Hexing has always wondered why Wang Mang changed the money, and asked: "Your Majesty, why the imperial court doesn't use five baht money, I don't really understand." ”

Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hexing very strangely and said: "He Shunhou, you don't understand this, hey, it's strange, no one specifically explained it to you."

Look at the five baht money, buy something, it's very heavy. For example, valuable things, such as war horses, use more money than war horses.

Have you thought about it, it's not convenient to buy and sell. You see how much money I have now, big and small. For example, 'Oizumi Fifty', one is equivalent to 150 Koizumi Nao, and Dabu Huangqian, one is equivalent to 1,000 Koizumi Naoyi, so you don't have to bring too much money to buy things, how light it is.

The people are also confused, obviously the new money is more convenient, but they use the old five-baht money, buy anything, you have to bring so much money, and even have to rush to the car, pull a cart of money to buy things. Now you don't need it, you can do anything for a few big bucks with your vocal cords. ”

Jiang Hexing knew that one of the purposes of Wang Mang's change of money was to facilitate the people.

He was a little crying and laughing, credit currency promotion, that is so easy. And Wang Mang actually converted metal currency directly into credit currency.

The people are not used to it, and the people only know the copper content in your money, which is valuable.

Speaking of this, Wang Mang looked at the river and said: "Heshun Hou, do you understand now?" What do you do there? ”

Jiang Hexing has the impression that although Wang Mang is a bastard and directly plunders people's wealth, he doesn't have anything good to recommend. After all, in the later generations of Jianghexing, almost all central banks have long violated the principle of 'whoever treats the guests, who pays'. Repeatedly staged one bastard after another, several big countries competed, plundered the poor, and saved the economy in the name of it.

Almost all central banks, the recession that should come, do not let the recession, let the poor draw blood to subsidize the rich. The drama of the radicals inviting guests and the conservatives paying the bills is constantly staged. They are self-righteous and financial elites, but they don't know that they are the real bastards.

Jiang Hexing, as a person who has been paying for other people's mistakes, never knew what it was like to be treated. Thinking of this, what Wang Mang did seemed to be in the past.

Moreover, this kind of monetary policy can only be led by the elite, and this is not a matter for the public to decide.

Jiang Hexing sighed and said, "Your Majesty, there is some truth in what you said. ”

Jiang Hexing really didn't have any good way to give Wang Mang, it seems that the later monetary policy was also elite governance, and there was nothing to do with the people.

Wang Mang was a little proud, and then said, "Is that mean? Can't let the people have the final say in everything, so the world is not chaotic? ”

Wang Mang continued: "He Shunhou, you go on, didn't you say that there are any disadvantages of 'big government'? You explain it one by one. ”

Wang Mang smiled, squinted, looked at Jiang Hexing, and gently tapped his fingers on the dragon book case, waiting for Jiang Hexing.

Wang Mang seemed to have the upper hand in the debate, and he had to make Jiang Hexing clear, so he could refute them one by one. Let Jiang Hexing understand how much Wang Mang thinks about the people.

Jiang Hexing was affected by his mood, and he was really in no mood to talk about the topic just now. Seeing that Wang Mang was holding back his thoughts on educating himself, he felt uncomfortable, and said: "Your Majesty, there is another key point in this 'big government', that is, it requires fiscal balance. ”

Wang Mang's fingers lightly tapped on the dragon book case, and he whispered softly: "Finance, the government of wealth, this word is not bad." ”

Jiang Hexing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what the minister means is the balance of the branches. The amount of money collected by the imperial court every year is roughly the same as the amount of money spent.

The reason why 'big government' places special emphasis on this is because it costs so much. First of all, under this system, there is a lot more officials needed than before, and the cost of raising people alone is several times that of the past.

Second, this 'big government' has many functions and too many places to spend money. According to the weekly rites, there are introductions in the book

'Waiting for the decree for the law of the land, gathering the people with two out of ten for the desolate government: one is to disperse profits, two is to levy bo, three is to suspend sentences, four is to relax, five is to give up the ban, six is to go to a few, seven is to give up the ceremony, eight is to kill and mourn, nine is to be happy, ten is to be faint, one is to ask for ghosts and gods, and two out of ten are to eliminate thieves. Six to support the people with interest: one is Salesian, the second is old-aged, the third is to revitalize the poor, the fourth is to care for the poor, the fifth is to relieve the sick, and the sixth is to be safe and rich.
