Yang Tinghe has always been a serious person, he has a good attitude towards you, and even smiles, not because he has a good temper, but because he is polite and respects the personality of the person he talks to. It's one thing to laugh, it's time to clean up people, and you will definitely not be soft. If someone thinks that he is smiling at himself, he can get close to him, and most likely he will die ugly.

Even some civil and military ministers were cautious when talking to him, for fear of angering Yuanfu. Like Yang Chengzu, with Yang Tinghe and the military attache who is openly hard-topped, it is almost the level of a rare animal, even if the teahouse is not a duty room, but a military attache should always be respectful in front of Wenchen. With an attitude like his, he almost put a lucky label on his head and perform what it means to be a villain.

Yang Tinghe didn't have any anger, but looked at Yang Chengzu with great interest, "Hiding wealth in the country?" That's a bit of an interesting statement. The old man finally knew why the Son of Heaven reused the Grand Duke, presumably when he was in Anlu, the Grand Governor often mentioned such words to Banzai, which made Banzai very interesting. You might as well talk about it, how to hide the wealth in the country, and what are the benefits? ”

Yang Chengzu picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea, "Yuan Weng, hiding wealth in the country, what to do, I think you know better than me." People say that the imperial court has the benefits of salt and iron, but in fact, how much do we benefit from salt and iron? Speaking of mines, those deposits were contracted to merchants, and the imperial court received a small amount of taxes, and the amount of income was far less than the income from mining. Then there is shipping, Brother Sheng'an has also been to the southeast, and those maritime merchants have been, how much profit they have, and they also have an account in their hearts. But how much money do they pay? The ship led a piece, and the imperial court only got three taels of silver, and the tax was surprisingly low. A large amount of profits flowed into the people, owned by businessmen and gentry, the family was rich and rich, the jade hall was golden and the horse was golden, and the court was struggling, but it was difficult, such a thing was unfair. ”

"In the early years of Hongwu, the people's livelihood withered, so the Son of Heaven recuperated and recuperated and hid the wealth in the people, so that the people could recover their vitality and vitality. But the current situation is not the year of Hongwu, and the people that the imperial court has raised for so many years, it is time for them to give back to the imperial court. When Xia Guan was training in the southeast, he looked for people to raise donations, and thanks to Brother Sheng'an, he came forward to write poems and paintings with everyone, and drank flowers and wine, so that he could raise a little money. Otherwise, the court will give benefits, if you don't give benefits, you won't be able to raise a penny, and your life is worse than that of monks, this is the people's power we want to raise. Therefore, it is useless to hide the wealth from the people, and when it is really time to use the money, it is not necessarily possible to get the money. Only by keeping the silver in the treasury can it really benefit the country, so the taxes that should be collected must be collected, and the money that should be earned must be earned, otherwise, just like the last time the northern captives besieged the city, we are in a hurry to fight here, but the merchants over there are thinking about raising the price of rice! In addition to the industries that make money, the industries that involve the people's livelihood and even the stability of the government must also be controlled by the state and cannot be left to their own devices. Like grain, like salt and iron, if something goes wrong with these things, the world will be in chaos, and it must be in the hands of the imperial court to ensure that the country is stable and the people are stable. ”

Yang Chengzu compared paintings while speaking, and introduced the ownership of the means of production and the fact that the productive forces determine the relations of production in a language that the people of the Ming Dynasty could understand. These truths are not something that Yang Tinghe can understand, nor is it something he can understand, with Yang Chengzu's talent, he can only make it as easy to understand as possible, so that Yang Tinghe can understand it.

This kind of concept from hundreds of years later, if measured by this era, is almost the second sage's learning, or compared with Confucius and Mencius, the insight is more than one level higher. It belongs to something that really tells the lifeblood of the country, the structure of the country.

Yang Tinghe is the most politically intelligent person in this era, and his own talent is also excellent. can sit firmly in the position of the first assistant, and there are few people who have the means of governance, and they have a set of practical policies. But all of the above is meaningless in the face of this advanced concept that transcends the times, and after hearing Yang Chengzu systematically explain the importance of the means of production and the fact that the productive forces determine the relations of production, he actually fell into a momentary state of sluggishness, and only returned to normal after a while.

For a strongman in the political arena, such a performance is definitely a gaffe. Yang Shen and Fanghe are also talents, and general theories can't be beneficial, but in front of these views, they only have to listen, and it is impossible to fight back.

"Governor, high view, high view. Long live trusting the Metropolitan Governor so much, and he is really a good person, what you said is really deafening, and it makes the old man suddenly open, and many things that he didn't think of in the past are now understood. ”

Yang Chengzu laughed, "Yuan Weng, these are all said by the younger generation, they are very shallow, and they can't be elegant, don't be surprised." I only hope you can understand that whether I deal with salt merchants or restore the opening of China and France, it is purely out of public interest for personal gain. Maybe we take different paths, but the goal is the same, in order to make this world better, and it can be regarded as the same goal. If Yuan Weng has no other orders, the lower official will leave. ”

is like this kind of military attache who took the initiative to leave in front of Shoufu, Yang Chengzu was almost the first, and those first-class military generals who lined up outside the Yang Mansion to be summoned did not dare to be so presumptuous even if they sat on the cold bench for half a month. Yang Tinghe stopped him

"Are they all the same? It is indeed very important what goal people want to achieve, but it is equally important what path they take to achieve this goal. We can't ignore the process of reaching our goal just because it's right. The Metropolitan Governor may think that the old decay is very pedantic, but I want to persuade the Metropolitan Governor, it is precisely because of the rules that there is this world. You say those things, it makes sense, but if there are no rules, no matter how much truth there is, it won't save the world. ”

Yang Chengzu solemnly gave a salute, "What Yuan Weng said is that you are a scholar, and you read the sage book, and you are seeking the way to govern the world." I hope that between heaven and earth, there is a universal rule. Each of us lives according to this rule, and whoever breaks this rule is a sinner for whatever purpose. Your point of view is supported by the lower officials, if there are no rules in the world, it will not become the world. ”

Yang Cheng's ancestor agreed with Yang Tinghe's views, and then said: "However, Xiaguan is a martial artist, born in the market, and he has seen all kinds of things in the world. I only know that there are too many things, it is useless to rely on the rules alone, the bad people do not follow the rules, and the good people follow the rules, then the good people will only be beaten passively and be controlled everywhere. Even if you can win in the end, you will pay a heavy price before you win. I don't want myself to suffer, and I don't want my family to suffer, so I take shortcuts and take shortcuts, as for whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter. Of course, you have to follow the rules in doing things, but my rules are different from yours. The Emperor of Heaven and Earth is the greatest, and for me, this is the biggest rule, and the other rules are not important. ”

After saying this, he arched his hand, just said goodbye and left, watching his back disappear outside the teahouse, Tan Fanghe asked, "Teacher, what do you think?" ”

"This person is indeed a rare pillar of my Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, he went the wrong way. If you go the wrong way like this, you will do even more harm. Just like that new army, no matter how good the elite soldiers are, it is not a blessing for all people. Therefore, this person must find a way to get rid of it, sort out the case in Shanxi, and find out the matter clearly. Since he has decided to go this way, then pay the price, and don't complain. ”

The three of them walked out of the teahouse, Yang Shen frowned and was still recalling the words such as the means of production, while Yang Tinghe sat in the sedan chair, his eyebrows tightly locked, thoughtful. Some problems that have been besetting him for a long time seem to have come to fruition, and he has found a way to solve them, and the whole person's thinking is unusually smooth. It's just the end of this road, but it's extremely dangerous, which makes this Shousuke only feel cold.
