"No, I don't. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Liu Yong smiled, "Shoot again!" ”

More than 20 stone throwers continue to fire salvos, boulders poured down like a torrential rain, although the wall of the stone is solid but can not be supported, in the blink of an eye it collapsed a large section, and fell into the village is more powerful, not only the bandits inside, including livestock, houses, were smashed in an instant.

"It's a death left and right, rush out and fight and have a chance to live." Du Chong and Zhang Ba shouted, taking advantage of the launch interval to rush over with a few bandits who were not injured.

Dong Xun and the other troops watched coldly, and when the bandits entered the firing range, the crossbow arrows were fired together, and these people were immediately shot into hedgehogs. Then Zhou Cangfang led people to rush in, only to see that the bandits inside were either dead or disabled, a mess, miserable.

Although Liu Yong said that he was not surprised by the bloody scene for a long time, it was limited to killing pigs and sheep and other livestock, but he did not have much immunity to killing, which was also one of his shortcomings, his heart was not ruthless enough, and his hands were not poisonous enough, so he left early after explaining a few words.

Dong Xi led his men to clean up the battlefield, swept away the valuable things in the cottage, escorted some bandits who were not dead back to the city, and told Yu to go out to parade through the streets first, and then beheaded in public to comfort those who had died of grievances. When the villagers saw it, they all clapped their hands.

Yu Pan issued a proclamation and spread the word everywhere, launching a political offensive, urging the bandits in the surrounding county government to go down the mountain and surrender. The first evil must be punished, and other ordinary bandits will not be blamed as long as there is no great evil. And the success of this crackdown on bandits also greatly deterred those stubborn bandits, either going down the mountain to surrender, or fleeing far away, and the surrounding area of the county suddenly calmed down. Today's prosperity, social stability, and political clarity can finally march on the fast track of development.

Agriculture is the foundation, but the stability and development of a city depends most on the economy, not to mention the need for considerable capital investment in the early stage of tuntian. Therefore, the development of manufacturing and commerce is still the main growth point of Fuyi's economic development positioned by Liu Yong. The banks set up by the county government have been very successful and have attracted a lot of deposits. The ultra-low taxes and stable investment environment have also enabled more wealthy households to come up with money to invest in factories, so that blade factories, farm tool factories, weaving factories, daily necessities factories, handicraft factories, and so on have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The clothes made by the women weaving silk at home are also purchased by the county government and sold to other places. It can be said that the entire county is full of vitality and vitality, and it is a thriving scene. Liu Yong looked at it in his eyes and was overjoyed.

However, as the head of a county, Yu Fu seemed worried, and in the past few days, he convened many meetings of the heads of Tuntian in various places to discuss, and finally found Liu Yong. Yu said: "Liu Gongzi, the old man and the directors of Tuntian have visited the business many times, and they are all deeply worried about the move of the prince to promote the development of the business and the factory, can the prince listen to the words of the princes here?" ”

Liu Yongzheng was proud of the spring breeze, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and bowed his hand to everyone present: "Princess, please speak, Liu Yong listens." ”

A master said in advance: "Childe, Tuntian is what you advocated and vigorously promoted. But now you are focusing on business and manufacturing, leaving the Tuntian business far behind, thinking that this is a waste of the basics. There are clouds in the pipe, 'If the country has many riches, those who are far away will come; Ground, **** stay; If the warehouse is solid, you know the etiquette; If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace', the son must know. ”

The other chief continued: "'The reason why the ancient holy kings led their people was to do agriculture first. If the people are not able to farm, Mo is a domestic animal, the country is difficult to govern, and the three doubts are extreme, which is to turn the back on the original and destroy the country. The son is anxious for quick success and quick profit, putting the cart before the horse, and there will be disasters in the long run. ”

Liu Yong, a half-witted man, only knows some ancient texts, and most of them are half-understood, so he is confused. Seeing this, Yu Chuan explained: "This principal is quoting "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period? A passage in "Shang Nong" means that the ancient sage kings taught us that agriculture is the foundation of society. If the people are not committed to farming, there will be fewer livestock and the country will be difficult to govern. The chaos between agriculture, industry, and commerce is extreme, and this is called turning away from the fundamentals, and the country is in danger of ruin. Then he said to the others, "Liu Gongzi is from the Western Regions, and you don't know it. Don't quote the old sayings, just say what you want. ”

Liu Yong didn't pay attention to agriculture, nor did he not know the importance of agriculture, but he didn't distinguish the priorities and priorities, so he said aggrievedly: "Princes, I don't mean to despise agriculture, let alone despise agriculture. As the saying goes, "the land is abundant, and the grain is stable". In the next thought, only when agriculture, industry, and commerce stand together and promote each other, can the country become rich and strong, and the people can be prosperous. ”

"Childe's words are wrong. What is the best of the three? Nowadays, most people go to work in workshops and factories, and the fields are almost gone! ”

"Won't it?" Liu Yong was taken aback and said, "Isn't our previous Tuntian very effective?" And the auction of the fields is also like a cloud, how can no one come to plant? ”

The other steward said angrily: "Childe, that was in the past. In the past, farmers only had one way to plant mulberry and farmland, and the county reduced or exempted taxes, so everyone had hope in their hearts and was in full swing to do farm work. But now? At the instigation of Childe, a large number of shops and workshops were opened, and because of the small number of people in the factories, in order to attract workers, these factories offered extremely high wages. Those tenants are shrewd, they all put down their farm work and go to work in the factory, but pity those landed people, they can't get out of it, they really want to cry without tears. ”

Yu Fu also sighed and said: "Seeking wealth from poverty, farming is not as good as work, and work is not as good as business, this is Taishi Gong's early conclusion." Emperor Wen said, 'Agriculture, the foundation of the world, is a great matter.' That is to say, agriculture is the foundation of everything, the most important thing in the world, and there is nothing else in the world that can compare with it. The old man also knew that Gongzi did not abandon farming, but was too enthusiastic about business and manufacturing, which was a great hidden danger. If the people abandon agriculture and business, or abandon farming, the harvest in the land will be greatly reduced. This is not a big problem when the country is full of rice and grain, but today it is not very peaceful, there is a disaster of yellow turbans in the distance, there are a lot of heroes in the near future, the situation is complicated, the people are displaced, and there is a shortage of food. Fuyi seems to be far away from strife, how does the prince know when the war will come, if so, even if there is a thousand gold, how much food can be exchanged for it, and how much suffering can be solved? ”

Liu Yong heard it with a chill down his spine and a cold sweat, why didn't I think of it? If there is really a large army attacking, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy a stone of grain with tens of millions of dollars in hand, it seems that my idea is really naïve.

Liu Yong also had the "three rural" problems in his time, but it was far less prominent than in the late Han Dynasty, so it did not attract much attention from him. He took it for granted that by developing manufacturing and commerce, he could solve all his problems by accumulating a lot of wealth through taxation, and he was really overly optimistic. In modern society, the food problem is not too prominent, firstly, because the grain production is much higher, and the country usually has a large amount of savings; Second, the transportation is developed and convenient. As long as you have money, you can import it from abroad at any time. However, this was in the Han Dynasty! This food-based economy is extremely weak and can collapse at the slightest change. There are few people who can farm with peace of mind, and if they are still vigorously developing other industries, isn't it a salary from the bottom of the kettle?

Liu Yong chewed and digested everyone's words, pondered for a moment, and thanked him as if he had been empowered, and said sincerely: "Thank you for reminding you that Liu Yong has been taught." ”

Yu Fu nodded and said: "Childe needs to understand that the old man is not against the development of industry and commerce, but the abundance of food is the foundation of the people's stability, the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of the army." Only when the people have enough food and clothing can they live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people will be safe. Isn't Childe studying? The old man first recommends that you read Dr. Chao Cuo's "On Guisu Shu", I believe it will be extremely useful to you. ”

Liu Yong said solemnly: "I must understand it carefully." He also said, "What do you think of the princes, Liu Yong is sincerely taught." ”

Yu turned his head and said: "The old man discussed with the princes here, and there is only one cause, the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants. The old man thought that we could not build any more factories, and the scale of the completed factories should not be blindly expanded, so that the labor required would be much less. However, if people want to farm with peace of mind, raising food prices is the key. We can also use the method adopted by Dr. Chao Cuo, and the payment of various taxes does not require gold and silver, nor silk, but only grain; The people could use the grain to ask for reward or to avoid punishment, and the price of food naturally increased. If grain production can be increased, the people will be able to farm with peace of mind. ”

Liu Yong came to his senses under Yu Xuan's ignition, found "On Guisu Shu" and read it carefully. For the person Chao Cuo, Liu Yong still knows a little when he watches "The Emperor of Han Wu". Chao Cuo, a native of Yingchuan County, was a famous political commentator in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the family commander of the prince, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was promoted to the imperial historian. At that time, the power of merchants was swelling and land annexation was serious, so that the peasants left their homes, agricultural production withered, the gap between the rich and the poor widened day by day, the class contradictions gradually intensified, and there was a faint phenomenon of riots in the world.

This is Mr. Lu Xun's "On Guisu Shu", which is known as one of the "Western Han Dynasty Hongwen". This article is logically rigorous, the reasoning is clear, the rhetoric is fluent, the arguments are closely linked to the arguments, and they are interlocking, which is extremely persuasive. Chao mistakenly believed that the development of commerce, the accumulation of wealth by businessmen, the wanton annexation and embezzlement of land, and the rapid expropriation and expropriation of bureaucrats at all levels were the direct causes of the withering of agricultural production, the poverty and hard work of the peasants, the differentiation between the rich and the poor, and the intensification of class contradictions. Chao Cuo also believes that the more food a country accumulates, the more stable the people's will, the more stable the society, and the more stable the political situation; In order to increase their savings, it is necessary to find ways to make the peasants feel at ease in agricultural production, so he put forward the viewpoint that "if the people want to farm, it lies in the precious millet" and the suggestion of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and accepting the lord of millet. This measure was adopted by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and implemented in the Wen and Jing dynasties, and agricultural production was gradually restored and developed, the country became richer and richer, the society gradually stabilized, and the economy was relatively prosperous. So much so that in the early years of Emperor Wu, there was a rich scene of "Taicang's Su, Chen Chen Xiangyin, all of them were full of despise".

It's a pity that the wrong ending is not good. In the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (154 BC), Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao Cuo's "Policy of Cutting Domains" and implemented a policy of weakening the power of princes and kings and strengthening the centralization of power. However, as a result of the reduction of feudal domains in the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty, the seven princes of the Liu family, led by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, were dissatisfied with the imperial court's reduction of their power, and joined forces to rebel in the name of "please punish Chao and take the Qing monarch's side". And neither Chao Cuo nor Emperor Jing had a plan to deal with it in advance, so that at the beginning of the rebellion, the imperial army was defeated. Emperor Jing was terrified, and accepted the advice of other courtiers, and beheaded Chao Cuo in the city in exchange for the rebels to retreat. However, the rebels did not retreat due to Chao Cuo's death, but continued to march towards Chang'an, only to be quelled by the imperial court and the king of Liang due to a strategic misstep. The whole process of quelling the rebellion was only three months, and Liu Yong not only lamented Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's "crossing the river and demolishing bridges, being mean and unkind", but also lamenting Chao Cuo's "eagerness for quick success and quick profit, and unladylike encounters with people".

After reading it, Liu Yong was full of emotion, it turned out that the peasants were so poor and so miserable. "Do not shelter from wind and dust in spring, avoid heat in summer, avoid rain in autumn, and avoid cold and freezing in winter, and between four o'clock, there is no day to rest ......." Even with such hard work, there is only a harvest of 100 stones on 100 acres of land, and not only that, but also labor and taxes, and there is no day of rest throughout the year. Even so, every year it will suffer from various disasters, and deal with the government's rapid expropriation and various assessments. The peasants worked hard for a year, but in the end they only had very little income, and in order to cope with all kinds of endowments, some even "sold their fields and houses, and sold their children and grandchildren"; And businessmen do not have the labor of farmers, but they can "clothes must be beautiful, food must be meat". What an injustice! It's no wonder that farmers can't farm with peace of mind.

Liu Yong's eyes were full of tears, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, "If you can't make these poor and respectable peasants rich, Liu Yong, Liu Yong, are you still a person?" ”

Liu Yong avoided everyone, found a secluded place, learned from history and the "three rural" policies of his previous life, meditated for many days, spread out bamboo slips, and wrote down the countermeasures he thought of.

"Cai Lun is from the Eastern Han Dynasty, right? It has been some years since the improvement of papermaking, why are you still using this heavy and inconvenient bamboo slip? Liu Yong was very puzzled in his heart, and shook his head, "Wait a minute, and ask Yu County Order." ”
