Chapter 277: Invincible (I)
But there were not many people who participated, and the people who were not affected by the disaster were busy with the autumn harvest, and Zhang Xia recruited people to build embankments.
The people of Taiping Prefecture are busy, and the people of Hangzhou are also busy.
The agitated merchants and a few large families were very anxious when they saw this.
Time is not too much, it is too much, and it will not be until next year that the three yuan in Taiping Prefecture can decide where to go, and it is not too much, and most of the half a year will pass in the blink of an eye. Now the people are hot, the heat has passed, and it is cold again, how can the court release people?
Another way to think of it.
Send some people to see, from the common people, age, status and identity have nothing to do with it, but they have to go to Taiping Prefecture.
From Hangzhou to Taipingzhou, it is not far, from Huzhou to Taihu Lake, to Yangxian water, coal water to Gucheng Lake, you will go to Taipingzhou, or from the land, over Tianmu Mountain, to Anji, Guangde, and then to Taipingzhou. Not everyone has been, but there is. Some people have been to Taiping Prefecture when they were young, some have been to Taiping Prefecture because of errand service, or for various other reasons.
Gather more than 100 old people, get on the boat, and set off from the waterway, you have also seen Taiping Prefecture before, and some of them have been there four or five years ago. Let's take a look at what has changed in Taiping Prefecture today.
A few days later, I arrived in Taipingzhou, first from the polder, it was the harvest season, and then to Wuhu City.
These old men were shocked when they saw it.
Several businessmen were equally shocked, and only half a year later, there were changes, many new houses were built in the polder, Wuhu City increased the number of residents, many more shops, and a larger new wharf. This is the opinion of a businessman, and Zheng Lang doesn't care.
There are only 9,000 households in the city, less than 10,000 households, and most of the others are temporarily working for short-term jobs. It was not as large as the later larger townships.
The wharf is also a must, the wharf that began to be built is tight on funds, first make up and use, the new wharf is the real wharf, not only deep, the volume of ships is larger, placed on the edge of the long-term dispute, whether the river boat or the river boat can be docked directly, even in the dry season, can also dock more than 1,000 tons of sea vessels. This is the largest piece of hardware, and it costs more than 20,000 yuan, which is two and a half times that of the previous pier.
With these two wharves echoing each other, Wuhu has really become a good port, the policy is not put, if it is released, sea ships can come directly from the Yangtze River, berthing here. As for the river boats, no matter how big the boats are, they can come close, unless they disregard the wooden structure and come to a ship of 4,000 tons. That's impossible.
When they came to visit, the dock was repaired.
But it was the harvest season, and many large river boats that were rarely seen in ordinary times flocked to the wharf, and the wharf was busy. Then many businessmen began to complain again that they could not hire short-term workers.
The businessmen looked at each other and smiled, and they had complained about the same things this spring.
Alas, why is it placed in Taiguzhou, how good it is in Hangzhou.
Looking at the population of Hangzhou, there are 1670,000 households in Hangzhou alone, more than 200,000 households in Yuezhou, 100,000 households in Xiuzhou, more than 100,000 households in Huzhou, more than 100,000 households in Xuanzhou, and more than 100,000 households in Wuzhou.
No matter what you do, you have to ask for people, Taiping Prefecture has a small population, and in addition to Jiangning and Xuanzhou, the population of other states is smaller than the other. How to make great things.
The idea is not right, things are a little out of Zheng Lang's expectations, other states are opening up, restricting the flow of population, but the big households are also anxious after seeing it, recruiting displaced people, but the speed of recruiting displaced people cannot keep up with the speed of expansion, although there are many short-term workers, the labor force is still very tight. As long as in two years, four to five thousand households will come in to live in the labor force for a long time, and there will be no such embarrassment as it is now.
This must be done, you can't take the initiative to recruit displaced people in the name of the state government, as long as you make a move, the speed will be very fast, but there will be more eyes to watch. No one cares about the homeless people starving to death, and if you levy them, you have to offer them as ancestors, otherwise you will go online.
Therefore, Zheng Lang is not interested in the so-called gentleman's flow.
is not a gentleman, Fan Zhongyan is the only one who can be called a gentleman, it doesn't matter what the others do, but the requirements for others will be ten times higher, and he is really a "good gentleman" who is stricter than others and lenient with himself.
I said in the mean, and I have discussed with Xuejian.
The object is reversed, they are masters of articles, not gentlemen, this gentleman is cheeky and puts gold on his face.
But where did these businessmen think of this, just look at it as a pity.
Why do you shout about the lack of people in one year and the shortage of people in two years?
He took the old man ashore.
No one looked at them, but there was time to see, and every day there came the many strangers.
I walked around, and I also saw the Monogata Courtyard and the Mirror Lake.
At the beginning, there were only 2,000 households, an authentic broken county, and now there are more than 9,000 households, large and small workshops and shops, almost a shrunken Hangzhou city.
But the vitality is more prosperous, the buildings at both ends of the city continue to spread wildly, people come and go on the street, a prosperous scene, is this still Wuhu?
A businessman surnamed Qian said: "Everything has changed, only three years and three months. ”
Take them back after that.
We don't count, let you see for yourselves.
The scenery is beautiful, the people are rich, no, I saw that everyone was busy, but I hardly heard a single person arguing along the way. Not only rich, but also simple people. This is simply the legendary paradise.
And the group went back.
Speaking of nonsense, at least I saw a few things in the Monogata Temple, and I heard many legends along the way.
What the embankment of the Qiantang River is towering, it can also be done by turning the river and the sea. As long as people are invited, we Hangzhou people will be blessed, with this three-yuan ability, I don't know what Hangzhou will become. He also praised Taiping Prefecture as unique in the sky and unparalleled on earth.
With so many people agitating, the people are finally moved.
In fact, Zhang Xia's water control began to see results, but where the people managed, whether it was effective or not, it depends on the test of time, there is nothing for a year, nothing for ten years, it does not mean that there is merit, as long as there is a big burst of the embankment again in a few decades, it is a failed water conservancy project.
The people of the nine counties began to mobilize, signing and pressing their handprints everywhere, and Zheng Hui was angry to death.
It can't be said how bad he is, like Cui Youjie, he is an official who plays soy sauce, and he gets to this position according to his seniority.
But after this crazy thing, I knew that I was going to be sad, but I didn't expect that I would be saddened in this way and be abandoned by the people of the whole state.
Preemptively, I wrote a book and wrote to the court, I am sorry for Your Majesty, and I am degraded from my position.
The book has reached the middle book, what can the Chinese book do at this time? Don't bother me, it's not your fault, the embankment has begun, and at this time it will be replaced? Hold it down and don't report it.
There are a lot of people pressing their handprints, Zhang Xia can't cry or laugh, you can press it, you must send people to build the river embankment together, don't delay the affairs. It was not he who was sad in this matter, although the people's distrust made him slightly dissatisfied.
So he was silent, and even took the initiative to show goodwill, don't exclude me, we are also Wu Yue's children, and my father also served as Wu Yue's criminal department secretary.
What to do?
Be as careful as Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang is worried that someone will eat it, and his background is too shallow, which will cause trouble. had to coax the common people.
He also hinted that the matter of the embankment burst had nothing to do with me, and seeing that no, under my leadership, Xiuqi Yueming and the four prefectures joined hands to repair the embankment, and there was no situation where the previous division was divided into divisions to shirk responsibility.
At this time, the people were very simple, Zhang Xia's attitude was so low-key, and gradually the people welcomed it, but they could continue according to their handprints. Without him, not only the river embankment, but also want to have a good life, the common people want to have food and clothing, have a brand new house, and large families are counting on more money. So he raised 110,000 people's handprints, carried them along the Grand Canal by boat, and quickly sailed to the capital.
When they arrived in the capital, Wang Sui and Chen Yaozuo took sick leave again.
This is the East Mansion, and the West Mansion is even more chaotic, and Zhao Zhen has to use Zhang Dexiang as the same knowledge of the Privy Council to help the West Mansion.
There are three other people in Dongfu, Han Yi, Shi Zhongli, and Cheng Lin.
Han Yi was unhappy, grandma, what do you care about me, turned his head and kept silent.
Shi Zhongli played his usual funny, and said: "This is good, the Zhizhou that will be released tomorrow will all be put on the list, let the people choose by themselves, if the officials are cured, they will be happy, and if the officials are not cured, the people will not be able to complain." ”
What a hassle!
Cheng Lin glared at him angrily, this is the request of 110,000 households, if one is not handled well, it will be nailed to the iron pillar of shame by the historian and will not be allowed to turn over!
But Shi Zhongli's funny remark hits the heart of the matter.
Is it really mixed into the position of the deputy phase, is it a soy sauce player? Take a look at his lion in the garden, and then think about it, this is the lion in the garden, but the royal lion, is it so comparable to the wolf outside the garden? No matter how shameful you laugh at Sheng Du, you can walk in front of the prime minister unintentionally, stop and apologize, why do you have to run panting like a cow?
But his funny surname in the world of games can be in the court, but when he enters Dongfu, it is indeed over.
Cheng Lin didn't think much about it, came outside, looked at it, his head hurt, and entered the palace and said to Zhao Zhen, Your Majesty, what do you think?
This kind of thing has never happened before, and the cabin is booked in advance with the governor or prefect. What has become?
Zhao Zhen didn't like it either.
The first two times I agreed to the request of Taiping Prefecture had my own reasons, not the request of the people.
The first time was that Lu Yijian agreed to it.
The errand service method has drawbacks, but it can't be popularized, Zheng Lang said it is very pertinent, you can give it a try.
If you don't have the wealth of Taiping Prefecture today, like some poor small mountain states, you may not have more than 40,000 yuan a year in taxes, how can you implement the use of money for service?
The Taiping Prefecture errand service is not heavy, it is relatively easy to implement, and some border prefectures not only have errand service, but also archers and other services! Taiping Prefecture is one out of fifty, and these state capitals are one out of ten, or even one out of five. How to replace it with money?
Zheng Lang gave the people great benefits and prestige, so when he carried out the regulations, the people supported him. But such a prefect is rare, has no prestige, and hates to be ten when paying money, and hates to be one as one when conscripting. How does it work?
Zheng Lang is cultivating the mean, and he has not read the book, but he has heard some letters from his son, mainly about tolerance and fairness. Therefore, it is very fair to act, such as dividing the service into several classes. Some of them have more money, and some have less money, like the head of the senior household, not only cut it drastically, but also have little money, only 20 yuan.
Be careful, send them newly, teach them the law, teach them literacy, let them practice martial arts. This is the most important pillar of the country's future, so how can others do it?
Without these five, can it be implemented?
Just one greedy for ink and begging for political achievements will cause endless turmoil.
I don't know much about the exempt law Lu Yijian, but he has tried to change the law, and he has suffered a lot for it.
Zheng Lang made it very clear in the letter, and he thought of these at once.
In short, in Zhao Zhen's dynasty, only Lu Yijian was the first in terms of the ability to govern, and others could only compete for the second, and they couldn't even think about it. For example, the Yellow River burst its banks, such a big thing happened after the three-way drought and locusts, so that he could make it invisible, this is the ability. In contrast, we can see the situation of hundreds of officials when the Yellow River burst its embankment for the second time more than ten years later. Without him, his talents are insufficient.
But let Zheng Lang try, there will be no mistakes in Zheng Lang's hands, and after a period of time, ten or eight years, several governors have been changed, and then see what the situation is after a few governors, so that the experience and lessons can be slowly and gradually promoted throughout the country.
The reason is still not to know the consequences, but to know that it will be troublesome.
Therefore, the word "gradually" was used, that is, after ten years, it could be promoted step by step, piecemeal in some state capitals, not the whole country.
From Lu Yijian's selfish point of view, it happened that Zheng Lang made two requests, if one did not agree, he was afraid that Zheng Lang would attack him and make Fan Zhongyan scared, so he had to agree to at least one.
This is the real reason for Zhao Zhen's final acquiescence. It has nothing to do with public opinion.
Zheng Lang stayed in office, because Zhao Zhen had not considered the people's central request, and it was also a manifestation of moral politics, he promised for a year, only one year.
Once or twice once in a while is fine, but too much, it won't be a good thing. You can think about it, it is Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen is absolutely assured, and it is not a border town, if it is a border town, the economic and military power in his hands, what kind of demagogy is used, the people write to the central government to ask the court, and the court agrees, will there be an incident in An Lushan?
This is also the core of rights.
is one of the reasons why Zhao Zhen disagrees.
Another reason, Zhao Zhen longs for Zheng Lang to return to the court. The autumn tax has been raised, but Taiping Prefecture has not paid it in full.
A large amount of cotton and sugarcane were planted in the local area and neighboring states and counties this afternoon, and the sugarcane brought by the merchants was for rationing, but the farmers' sugarcane could not be in arrears.
Cotton is not harvested in one place, and there are a large number of private workshops in Taiping Prefecture, Zheng Lang did not hide this, let them learn, it is not the best skill, and they may eat a mouthful. The craft is getting more and more sophisticated, and after a few years there will be a group effect. This year, it is still the brocade rust supervisor that accounts for at least one-third of the proportion.
Again, it cannot be in arrears.
Leaving a sum of funds, the temple has always retained a part of the funds, which is the capital of all the deed shares, which has not been moved, and some have been added this year, but the focus is still on the rust prison.
Therefore, the money tax was not paid, but only 380,000 taels of rice and 70,000 horses of silk.
But when he presented the account book, he left a total of 100,000 taels of grain and 190,000 horses of silk, including loans to the Hezhou and Wuwei Army, as well as capital, totaling nearly 320,000 yuan.
Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out this account, some of which were forcibly collected from Cambodia by selling deed shares last year, and some of which were the profits generated, so that the officials estimated that about this year's grain and silk money in Taiping Prefecture were added together, and there were more than 600,000 taxes.
But by the second half of the year, the sugar mill and the rust mill will be larger, and by next year, there may be nearly a million dollars in various tax and supervision revenues. Not the most, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other state capitals, taxes and various revenues are still higher than those of Taiping Prefecture.
Don't forget what Taiping Prefecture was.
And all this came about in the context of a light tax.
The tax of the Song Dynasty was based on ten levies and one, that is, only three buckets were levied on one acre of land, plus Ding service, and the most standard was twenty levies and three. However, let Zheng Lang squeeze it, and the real population, even no people. All of them have increased, and the tax ratio may be close to ten to two, less than, but more than twenty to three.
Is it heavy? That's wrong. Under the disguised taxation of various states, two out of ten are as clear as Bao Qingtian. The people will not complain about the three levies of the ten, and the most feared thing is that the ten levies will be levied four levies and five levies, and even the taxes for the next seven years, eight years and ten years.
In addition to the areas exempted by the imperial court, Taiping Prefecture can now rank among the top 10 lowest among the more than 300 military supervisors of the state capital.
Either Lingnan and other three regardless of the zone.
These numbers are political achievements. Zhao Zhen doesn't believe in the so-called gentlemen and villains, we look at the ability, if you have the ability to govern the country and the people well, you are a good official, on the contrary, even if the master is resurrected, you can't afford it.
With his political achievements, he can logically transfer Zheng Lang back to Cambodia and be a small staff officer for himself.
Therefore, after listening to Cheng Lin's words, he immediately said: "Tell them that the United promised the people of Taiping Prefecture that Zheng Lang would not be transferred until next summer, and it is too early to say that it is too early for them to go back and assist Zhang Zhuanzhi to repair the embankment and build their homes, which is their duty." ”
Another official.
But dozens of people from Lizhou were not convinced, they didn't think so, they pondered, no, this is 110,000 households asking for life, and finally guessed, thinking that it was not wrong to ask for life, it was the number of people who were wrong, it was 110,000 households, but there were nearly 60,000 households in Hangzhou that did not participate, so His Majesty did not agree. So I went back again to help.
But the person from Hangzhou aroused Zhao Zhen's thoughts, and sent someone to call Lu Gongzhu, who had just passed the Hu test and was reviewing his homework at home in the capital.
After entering the palace and paying respects, Zhao Zhen said, "You sit." ”
"I don't dare."
"Your father is an important minister in the court, you ghost...... The surname is calm, and there is no need to make a ceremony. ”
Attached to His Majesty. ”
"Let's talk about Jipingzhou."
"The matter of Taiping Prefecture?"
"Lian listened to some things, I don't know very well, you are by Zheng Lang's side every day, you should know more clearly, tell Lian to listen, otherwise Lian will not understand many places, let Lian absorb some experience, and you can also be enlightened."
It's not a fake, that's exactly what he thinks in his heart.
"Whoa." Lu Gongzhu honestly said what he saw and heard.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and there were still many places that he was at a loss, but he just heard that Zheng Lang had a long-term idea of doing things, but he was very practical and careful, but when he really started, many accidents also happened, including the time when the victims really brought a lot of trouble.
This trouble is precisely one of the bad policies of the imperial court.
There are also some accidents that Zheng Lang expected, can understand, it is impossible to be magical to this point, and can only laugh dumbly in terms of knowledge, did the master really teach those knowledge of things? Don't take it seriously, anyway, he is a very learned person, not only Confucianism, but also miscellaneous studies.
The surname is very clear, don't spoof Confucius, you are not Gewuxue, but the intentions are good, and Zhao Zhen is not to blame.
Fortunately, the remedial situation was made in time, and there has been no major leakage.
Some places are at a loss and don't understand, and some places can be seen to be hasty and wise, and it is about to be replaced by other officials.
The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, and if he does, he is a capable official.
Then asked: "Zheng Lang wants to go to Hangzhou?" ”
Lu Gongzhu didn't know about the second time the people of Hangzhou came to the capital, so he hesitated and replied: "It turned out that he went to Suzhou and Hangzhou." ”
"Why?"
Lu Gongshu is not easy to say, this was originally what you said, but now it is not a word, Mr. I had to ask for the second, and answered the question: "Whether it is Suzhou and Hangzhou, or Xiuming and Mi three states, there is one that is the first...... What I want most. ”
"What?"
Oh Clerk. ”
Commissariat Office? ”
"Whoa."
"Why?"
"It is where the wealth lies, and it can also get a large sum of money for the state, not for the treasury, but for the copper of coinage, and in place of gold and silver for money."
"Where's that?" Zhao Zhen was very confused.
"All of these places have a characteristic, there are excellent harbors and seas, and large sea vessels can be berthed." Lu Gongzhu sat sideways on the corner of the chair, looking at Zhao Zhen with some confusion in his eyes, so he said again: "Your Majesty, when the ministers of Taiping Prefecture came, there were only 14,000 hectares of cultivated land and nearly 50,000 households. ”
Taiping Prefecture is still too small, regardless of the total population, and the density is almost comparable to that of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"It has become very rich, not only for arable land, but also for textiles, sugarcane, and other workshops, and this year the state may also spend a sum of money to buy land, and a real peasant household will own more than 40 acres of arable land, and the rest will all go to the city to work. The real wealth is also these workshops, and the commercial taxes generated by the workshops, which continue to sell things and absorb the wealth of other places to Taiping Prefecture. This is the source of prosperity and stability for the people in Taiping Prefecture. ”
"Besides," Zhao Zhen gradually grasped a little, but he didn't know very well.
"The small one is a home, the middle one is a state, and the big one is a country. This is true of the state, and so is the state. The country's annual minting of copper coins reached 2 million yuan, almost dozens of times that of the Tang Dynasty, why has it not been enough? ”
Don't say it's stupid to ask, it's really a question, two million a year, a hundred years is 200 million, and the index has been giving away, gradually rising to three or four million coins a year, marching towards the five million yuan mark.
There were also gold and silver as auxiliary coins, but copper was never enough, so we had to continue to replace it with silk, not only silk, but also iron coins and paper money. Even the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty continued to circulate, and the whole country thought that the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins of the Tang Dynasty were the best, and the winners could not be hidden. There is also private minted small money circulation. Miscellaneous, accumulated on the market, at least a billion yuan of former currency is in circulation, not including silk. Why does the money keep shouting that it is not enough?
Therefore, there is the following passage written by Lu Gong: "Your Majesty, first, the copper-deficient areas privately turn the copper money of the imperial court for profit, the second is that the rich family hides the money in the cellar, if there is an accident, the money will not be able to come out for the rest of the life, and the third is to flow to overseas countries." China's sea trade buys a large number of foreign goods, and the people of our country are very strict with those who do business, and those who sell goods, and they buy more foreign things, and their own things are not allowed to be released, and gold, silver, and copper coins are all flowing outside. Not only overseas, but also the Khitan, the imperial court was quite strict with the order of the vertebral field, and all things were not allowed to come out, and the northern fur and other things continued to flow to the Central Plains, so the copper coins were scattered in the Khitan and could not be returned. Transactions are eliminated at sea. Why bother, as long as the commercial goods are relaxed, except for the strictly ordered ordnance and other materials, they are allowed to be exported, and a large amount of gold, silver, copper, and iron can be recovered for the state, and if there is none, they can also be replaced by barter. After all, our dynasty is a big country in terms of goods, not gold, silver and copper. Another example is the Khitan, once relaxed, our civilization is far superior to the other party, even if there is a disadvantage of the annual tribute, it will be earned back by trading several times and tenfold. And a large number of silk, tea, porcelain sold to the Khitan, to the Khitan to bring more luxury, and the same as the culture, our dynasty has been civilized for a long time, luxury culture is not a pity, but there will be a great deal of governance. But once the Khitan people are civilized and luxurious, what are they afraid of? ”
The problem goes back to the starting point, it turns out that Zheng Lang has said this matter, exporting flashy to the Khitan!
This time it is not only a flashy export, but also a return to the lost copper money.
I didn't understand this Zhao Zhen at all, so I was silent, and after a while, I said: "There will be risks in going to sea." ”
"It's risky, but Your Majesty, not counting the catastrophes of the past few years, how many people die of hunger or disease in the country every year due to poverty? This is a small wooden dispute. The treasury is so empty that redundancy is serious, and the treasury will be even tighter in the future. If you get more wealth, you will be less harsh on the people. It's also a matter of size. ”
It is the idea of Lu Gong's book, Zheng Lang does not think so, the three redundancies are still the foundation of the country, with the existence of these three redundancies, no matter how open source, unless the Buddha comes, so that the annual income of the Song Dynasty reaches 300 million, otherwise the money is still not enough, the more you earn, the more you use, the more serious the three redundancies.
But open source is a must, throttling, now it has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, the qualifications are not enough, and the festival is like that? That will cause endless turmoil.
Zhao Zhen said again: "If something happens, what will happen to their family?" ”
"Me and the ghost...... The student discussed it, and it seemed that there was a plan, but it didn't arrive, and it didn't say. ”
There is very little to say, and there is a large number of exports, which will bring prosperity to the workshop business, and at least more employees will work, so it will give more poor people a way to live. The nautical industry will develop, the shipbuilding industry will develop, the ships will become larger, and the cost of transportation will fall.
Grain from Lingnan can be brought in.
This is a virgin land.
Workshops flourished, and a large amount of tax revenue was obtained for the state, and a series of cycles of good surnames were created.
In this regard, Lu Gong's book is half-understood, and Zhao Zhen does not understand. He was very worried, not only human lives, but also a large number of people flocked to the sea, what to do with food, after all, the people live on food, and this is still a country with a serious shortage of food and clothing.
I didn't know, so I avoided it and asked, "Has Zheng Lang's book of the mean been written?" ”
"It was written in April."
"Hey, why haven't you seen Lian?"
"There are two reasons why I have not been reborn."
"What is the reason?"
"First...... He was born with the surname of Ge Gu Ao and didn't like to make friends, but the two parties of the DPRK and China have been born, although the arrogance is a virtue, he will not be able to do things in the end. Not knowing how to resolve it is one of them. The new moderation is mainly moderate, four sentences, inclusiveness, advancing with the times, straight and gentle, simple and not arrogant. Justice and gentleness are the means of doing things. If the DPRK and China become a party, can they accomplish things with moderate means? I didn't figure it out, so I collected the book after it was completed. ”
"The party has become a ......?"
"It has been formed, divided into a villain's party that does practical things, and a pseudo-pure gentleman's party that only boasts about it."
Zhao Zhen smiled a little bitterly when he heard the last sentence, and said, "Then Zheng Lang is in favor of the Lilliputian?" ”
"I don't approve of it, although it is pragmatic, we must also pay attention to morality, otherwise as soon as this wind opens, the people of the world will be bustling for fame and fortune, and anything will happen. So first...... When he went to Taipingzhou, he paid great attention to Dehua. Lu Gongzhu said with difficulty, the so-called villain's party is led by his father, doing practical things and being pragmatic is a good side, but it is not right to attack the opponent casually, or even kill the queen.
He's a son, how can you say it?
"Then why do you say pseudo-half-height?"
"Gentlemen are like jade, Wen You is plus, it can't be this group of gentlemen's surname. The country needs supervision, and with supervision, the emperor will not be vice-mediocre, and the minister will be conscientious.
But on a case-by-case basis, the emperor cannot be replaced just because he has done something wrong. ”
"Hmm", Zhao Zhen laughed, this statement is very reasonable.
"The same is true of the minister, who is right to praise and wrong to be punished, as it should be. Everyone has made mistakes, and we can't belittle them all their lives because of a mistake, and we can't treat them as lifelong rivals because of political differences. Even if you are like a sister, you should think about it when you give advice, think farther, and not just look at the surface to see what impact this advice will have on the country and the people. You can't slander others at will for the sake of clearing your name. It is precisely these mistakes made by the gentlemen. There are even people who enjoy the glory and wealth themselves, but they can't get used to seeing others wearing a silk robe, raising a concubine, and building a slightly gorgeous house. If you can't do it yourself, what qualifications do you have to let others do it? ”
"Besides," Zhao Zhen was even more excited, and said in his heart, this is probably the reason why Zheng Lang respects Fan Zhongyan, and only Fan Zhongyan is the only one who is consistent with his words and deeds, other gentlemen, don't take it seriously.
"Then there is argument, argument is also a good thing, listen to other people's opinions, my husband and we have argued, although he is smart, but often listens to our opinions."
Good. ”
"I'm ashamed, this is very rare, most gentlemen's vision is long-term to the extreme, which makes us yearn for it."
"You're not bad either." Zhao Zhen boasted, speaking of which now, this son has a gentle speech, and in some respects it is very similar to Zheng Lang back then, and this gentleness is his favorite. Influenced by all kinds of anger in the court, Zhao Zhen was tortured to death, and finally chose a few gentle elders as the face, who knew that it was all a group of insatiable people...... I have some regrets in my heart, but this son is also too young, and I can't wait if I want to use it.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to be."
"Tell me about the argument."
"Wow. It's okay to argue, but it's still a good thing. There is great power in many, and what one person sees will be completely different from what others see. Through the arguments of the other party, find your own shortcomings. But don't be stubborn and think that you must be right. That's not an argument, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, but calling for anger. ”
"It's angry!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.
Lu Gongzhu didn't dare to show up, "You continue." ”
"Well, it's the Master, sometimes he learns from others and asks for advice, and besides, other people, although the world is big and the truth is the greatest, but which person can make his own truth the greatest? That kind of controversy is not called argument and discussion, it is called strong words, the world is big, I am the biggest, my friend is the second, my master is the third, Your Majesty is the fourth and fifth......" Lu Gongzhu's voice became smaller and smaller, this is Zheng Lang's original words, I don't know if the emperor will be angry when he hears it.
