"What does the Taoist chief say, please tell me in detail."

Emperor Shenzong raised his hand lightly, and at the same time asked Li Xiaodao to speak again with a solemn expression.

Li Xiaodao bowed his hand slightly, and said: "These machines will bring countless wealth to the Great Song Dynasty, and the construction of factories by the national court alone is only a drop in the bucket for the entire Great Song Dynasty." ”

Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Sir, doesn't you want the imperial court to flow out all these things, so that the rich can also build factories?" ”

Li Xiaodao nodded and said: "However, how many factories can be built by the imperial court alone, although it can also bring profits to the Great Song Dynasty, but compared with the participation of everyone in the world, the profits are still too weak, as inconspicuous as a drop in the ocean." ”

Emperor Shenzong nodded approvingly: "For example, Dao Chang's previous argument about the wealth of the country, the foundation of the country's prosperity is to allow everyone to have silver money transactions, so that money can be used to make money, and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty can be improved." ”

Wang Anshi said thoughtfully: "Therefore, let those rich people also enjoy the profits brought by these machines, and they have no reason to obstruct it." ”

Li Xiaodao said with his hand: "Indeed, if Your Majesty chooses to manufacture factories in the imperial court alone, it is just a small economic cycle, and it excludes a large part of the entire Great Song Dynasty, so if you want to seek the greatest benefits, it is to bring these rich people into the entire manufacturing circle, so as to maximize the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty and usher in rapid growth in national strength." ”

"For example, the division of labor and transactions just mentioned by the poor road, the transactions between the people are only the basis, and if you want to make the large-scale flow of money, you still have to rely on the rich people to do it."

Wang Anshi already hated those rich people for sucking the country's financial resources like leeches, and now Li Xiaodao's legal system will undoubtedly make these rich people even richer.

But he also understands that Li Xiaodao's legal system allows the rich to make their own products, so that more workers can be produced and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty can be improved to a greater extent.

The treasury of the Great Song Dynasty was already barren, and if the imperial court family wanted to swallow such a piece of fat, the imperial court would not be able to eat it.

With the financial resources of the imperial court, it is already stretched thin to build less than 100 factories, and such a small-scale construction will undoubtedly not play much role in the Great Song Dynasty, and the development of national strength is also extremely slow.

The best way to do this is to get the rich involved.

Li Xiaodao finally said: "Therefore, as long as Your Majesty agrees to let the rich people use these machines and let them also set up factories, they will also become people who enjoy common interests with the imperial court, and they will stand on the same line with the imperial court. ”

At this moment, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi thought of the Qingmiao Law that Wang Anshi was implementing, and officially because Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law touched the interests of the rich class, it would be heavily blocked, and it would not bring any substantial benefits to the poor people at the bottom.

If Wang Anshi's reform is successful, although it will also bring some growth in national strength, it will be a matter of the future.

The new system that Li Xiaodao is proposing now is to allow everyone to taste the benefits immediately, and there is no need to wait for a few years to feel the benefits of the new law.

The difference between the two is obvious, although Emperor Shenzong is not a wise and martial emperor, he is not stupid, and naturally knows that Li Xiaodao's method is the best policy.

Wang Anshi will not choose to put his beak when he hears this, but he still has some small questions to ask, he said: "Mr. is insightful, can put forward such a strong country, and point out specific steps, but if any legal system wants to be implemented perfectly, it will encounter all kinds of problems. ”

Li Xiaodao had already prepared and replied: "If you want to implement this system, you must determine the majesty of two sets of laws, and with these two sets of laws, the entire Great Song Dynasty will fall into a virtuous circle." ”

Wang Anshi hurriedly asked: "What is the law?" ”

Li Xiaodao said: "One is taxation, and the other is salary security. The second is the salary of workers, and the imperial court needs to legislate to protect the salary of workers, otherwise, if the factory deducts wages, the income of the people is not guaranteed, and the theory of people's wealth is impossible. ”

"In this regard, Poor Dao is just a person in the mountains, and it still needs to be managed by the officials of the imperial court."

Emperor Shenzong nodded clearly, Li Xiaodao was tantamount to solving most of the problems for him, all he had to do now was to follow this path, and the Great Song Dynasty would naturally become rich and strong.

Li Xiaodao finally bowed and said, "After the words of the poor Dao are finished, next, it depends on Your Majesty's implementation." ”

Emperor Shenzong looked at the Taoist priest in the hall, couldn't help the joy and excitement in his heart at this moment, left his seat, got up and walked down.

Emperor Shenzong's face was full of joy and came to Li Xiaodao's face.

As an emperor, he was able to leave his seat and walk down the golden steps, which shows how much he values Li Xiaodao, and he sighed:

"I can get Aiqing's help, which is my blessing, the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty. Aiqing's merit, the merit is in the eternal world, you have brought the Great Song Dynasty a real strategy to strengthen the country, and brought so many magical machinery, I intend to keep you as an official in the court, and establish an indelible foundation for my Great Song Dynasty, Aiqing is willing to stay and help me. ”

Li Xiaodao immediately bowed and said: "Being able to serve Your Majesty is naturally what Poor Dao wants, but Poor Dao is a mountain and wild Daoist, but he has pointed out the confusion for His Majesty and put forward a few suggestions. ”

When Emperor Shenzong heard this, his face showed a deep groan, it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of such a talented person.

He paused, then looked at Li Xiaodao and said: "Aiqing Miao is humble, Aiqing's talent has passed through the heavens and the earth, if you don't know how to govern the country, no one in the world can understand the way to govern the country." ”

Seeing this, Li Xiaodao no longer shirked, but he said this:

"Poor Dao is naturally willing to help His Majesty, but the ability of Poor Dao is not in governing the country, the reason why Poor Dao can see the root of the country's wealth and make these machines is because Poor Dao sees the law between all things in heaven and earth, if Your Majesty really has the heart to let Poor Dao stay, then ask Your Majesty to let Poor Dao open a school and grant students this way."

Emperor Shenzong was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Open a school? ”

Li Xiaodao nodded and said: "What the poor Dao has learned comes from studying the laws of heaven and earth, so that there are a few machines that can make the Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, but the wisdom of the poor Dao is endless, so that more people can understand the laws of heaven and earth, in order to create more machines, so that the Great Song Dynasty will continue to develop and become rich and strong." ”

Emperor Shenzong's face was embarrassed, and it was too overkill to let a talented man with a lot of money to be a teacher.

Li Xiaodao insisted again and again, and said: "The greatest wish of Poor Dao in this life is to let the learning of Poor Dao help the world, this is the ambition of Poor Dao, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

Wang Anshi coughed dryly on the side, and said behind Emperor Shenzong's back: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, you can set up a "Tiangong Academy" for Mr., which is located in the capital, so that Mr. can teach him those knowledge, and at the same time, he can also serve as Mr. "National Teacher", but there is no need to go to the court to participate in politics, but if we encounter something difficult to solve, we can ask for advice at any time. ”

Emperor Shenzong's eyes lit up when he heard this, then he looked at Li Xiaodao and asked, "What does Aiqing think?" ”

Li Xiaodao paused, bowed down and said, "Poor Dao is willing." ”

It's just that the moment he lowered his head, a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes.

It's finally done.
