Chapter 134 Reflections on Alcohol and Prohibition

c_t; Zhang Jiashi is not a person who is proficient in economics, and he can even be counted as having seven of the eight tricks - none of them. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Almost all the books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station, and the update is faster.,There are no ads in the whole text.] ]

But after such a long time, Zhang Jiashi still hopes to be able to prepare for some things accordingly.

Just like the "standing position" system, Zhang Jiashi believes that this system does not play its corresponding role strictly speaking, because even in the corresponding countries in each period of the implementation of the "standing position" system, in the period of its national strength, there will be many loopholes in this system due to many factors, not to mention that when the national strength of these countries is weak, the "standing position" system can even be said to be useless.

Such a situation can even be said to be caused by the inferior nature of human beings.

There is no doubt that the "regular liquidation" system is a favorable policy, because in the case of most countries in China's history, where the farming culture is the main body, the "permanent liquidation" system has its corresponding necessity.

But after coming to the Great Qin Empire in this world, Zhang Jiashi realized that some things could not be arranged accordingly according to the experience of later generations.

For example, the implementation of "regular closing" during the Han Dynasty cannot be applied to the current situation.

After all, the Chang Ping system during the Han Dynasty was implemented during the Han Dynasty when the national strength was relatively high. And the current Great Qin Empire can be regarded as a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt, if this method is rashly chosen as a means of coping with the corresponding situation, Zhang Jiashi himself can think of what kind of problems will arise.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi hopes that by increasing the corresponding way of consuming grain, the price of grain will not change on a large scale under certain circumstances, so as to avoid the situation that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants or the grain is expensive and hurts the people.

There is an explanation in this aspect in the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle": "It is very expensive, it hurts the people, and it is very cheap, it hurts the peasants." If the people are injured, they will be scattered, and if the peasants are injured, the country will be poor. ”

Although it is not the first book to systematically introduce economic history, it is undoubtedly the first book to present relevant records of agricultural economics for farmers.

Among them, the following corresponding content illustrates this account:

The way of managing the people is based on the earth. Therefore, it must be built to stand on the acre, and it is the boundary of its meridians. Six feet is a step, a hundred steps are an acre, a hundred acres are a husband, three husbands are houses, three houses are wells, and one mile is a well, which is nine husbands. Eight families in total, each received 100 acres of private land, 10 acres of public land, is 880 acres, and the remaining 20 acres are housed. In and out of each other's friends, watch and help each other, the sick are saved, the people are in harmony, and the education is the same, and the labor and production can be obtained and peaceful.

As for the Warring States, Lingyi is noble and deceitful, cheap and benevolent, rich first and then polite. At that time, Li Kui did his best for Wei Wenhou to teach, thinking that the place was 100 miles, and 90,000 hectares were sealed, except for the Shanzeyi residence, which was divided into 6 million mu of land. The increase and decrease of 100 miles of places is 1.8 million stones. He also said that if the people are injured, they will be scattered, and if the peasants are injured, the country will be poor. Therefore, it is very expensive and very cheap, and its injury is also one. (Those who are good for the country will not be harmed and the people will be persuaded to benefit.) Today, a husband coerces five people, governs 100 acres of land, and harvests one and a half stones per mu, which is one hundred and fifty stones of millet, and the remaining 135 stones except for the tax of eleven fifteen stones. Food, one and a half stones per month, five people are 90 stones of millet at the end of the year, and the rest is 45 stones. Stone thirty, for the money of three hundred and fifty, in addition to the shrine of the New Spring and Autumn Festival, with three hundred money, the remaining thousand fifty. Clothing, the rate of people is three hundred, five people use five thousand five hundred at the end of the year, less than four hundred and fifty. Unfortunately, the cost of death and death due to illness, and the upper endowment, have not been related to this. This farmer is always poor, and he has the heart to discourage farming, and he is even more noble. It is a good person who is good at leveling, and he must be careful to observe the upper, middle and lower years. The upper one is from four, and the remaining 400 stones, the middle one is from three, and the remaining three hundred stones, and the lower one is doubled, and the remaining hundred stones. The small hunger will receive 100 stones, the medium hunger will be 70 stones, and the big hunger will be 30 stones. Therefore, the big one is to buy three and give up one, the middle one is two, and the next one is one, so that the people are sufficient, and Jia Ping stops. A small hunger is what the small one is, a medium hunger is the one that is in the middle, and a big hunger is what the big one is collected. Therefore, although there is famine, flood, and drought, the people are not expensive and the people are not scattered, and there is more to make up for the shortage. The Wei country is strong, and the country is rich and strong.

The pipe said, "Cangli is honest and knows etiquette". Those who are not enough to be governed have not been heard of since ancient times and today. The ancients said, "If a husband does not plow, he will suffer from hunger, and if a woman does not weave, he will suffer from the cold." "When you are born, and when you use it, you will have to give in to material resources. The ancient rule of the world, to the best of the best, so its livestock is full of confidence. Nowadays, the back of the book and the end, the eaters are very numerous, and they are the world's great remnants; The thief is in business, Mo Zhi or stop, the great life will be wide, Mo Zhi Zhen rescue. There are very few people who are born and there are many people who are beautiful, how can the world's property not be squandered! The Han Dynasty has been the Han Dynasty for 40 years, and the accumulation of public and private affairs is still sad. When the time is lost, it does not rain, and the people take care of it; If you hear it, you are not surprised if you are in danger in the world!

The husband accumulates the great destiny of the world. If there is a lot of money and there is a surplus of wealth, what can we do but not succeed? If we attack it, we will take it, we will consolidate it by rules, and we will win by fighting. The peasants who have beaten the people and returned are all based on their roots, so that everyone in the world can eat their own strength, and the people who are at the end of the game will turn to the south of the mu, and the livestock will accumulate enough and the people will enjoy it. It can be for the prosperity of the world, and for this reason, it is also a pity for His Majesty!

The husband is cold for clothing, not for light warmth, hungry for food, not for willingness, hungry and cold to the body, regardless of shame. Human affection, if you don't eat for a day, you will be hungry, and if you don't make clothes all year round, you will be cold. The husband is hungry and cannot eat, and his skin is cold and cannot be clothed, although the loving mother cannot protect her son, Jun'an can have its people!

Fang's business today lies in Linong. "Take Zhao Guo as the commander of Sosu. Over can be a substitute field, one acre of three yels. The age of the office, so it is called Daitian, the ancient law also. Houji begins to produce fields, with two digits as a coupling, a wide and deep ruler, and a long end of the acre. One acre has three yinths, one husband has three hundredths, and the seeds are sown in the sows. Seedlings above the leaves, slightly long grass, because of the soil to attach the root seedlings. Therefore, his poem says: "Or Yun or Qi, millet is good." "Yun, weeding also. 刭, attached root also. The seedlings are slightly stronger, each of them is attached to the roots, than the summer, the roots are deep and the roots are exhausted, and the wind and drought can be carried out, so it is good and prosperous. The planters under its cultivation are all skillful. Rate 12 husbands for the field a well and a house, so with five hectares, with a coupling plow, two oxen and three people, a year-old harvest often over the field with more than a hundred, the good person doubled. He has taught the fields too often, three auxiliaries, and the big farmers have been engaged in skilled slaves and engaged in them as field tools. The two thousand stones sent the chief, the three elders, the power field and the elders of the Li Father to receive the field tools and learn to cultivate and raise seedlings. The people or the bitter little cattle, the death to tend to the Ze, so the peace of the light has taught people to pull the plow. After playing the light, he thought that he was a plow, and the people were plowed. Those who lead many people have 30 acres of land per day, and those who have less than 13 acres, so that the fields are more cultivated. After the test, the palace is left to leave the palace and the palace land, and the valley is more than one acre of land next to it. He ordered the family to be a field and a public field, and also taught the border county and Juyan City. It is the back border city, Hedong, Hongnong, Sanfu, and Taichang people all substitute for the field, and they get more valleys with less force.

Taigong retreated, and did it again. To the Guan Zhong Xianghuan Gong, through the power of the severity, said: "The year is fierce, so the valley has the noble and the low; If the people ignore it, the cattle will swim in the city, and the people will not give it, and it will be a hundred times its origin. Therefore, the country of ten thousand times must have a thousand gold, and the country of a thousand times must have a thousand gold, and the benefits are combined. The Calculation Committee is sufficient. But there are hungry people in the people, and there are also those in the valley. If the people have a surplus, it will be light, so the people will collect it lightly, and if the people are insufficient, it will be heavy, so the people will scatter it and the people will be heavy. When the severity is dispersed, it is equal. , so that the city of ten thousand rooms will have ten thousand bells of Zang, and there will be tens of millions, and the city of a thousand rooms will have thousands of bells and millions of swaddling clothes. In the spring, we will plough and plough in the summer, and we will take the food and the equipment. Therefore, the big cattle family must not take away our people. "Duke Huan then used the princes of the district to show his name.

The above content clearly states that in the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle", its compiler Ban Gu attaches great importance to the relevant description of agricultural culture, and has his own corresponding insights.

Among them, in "The Biography of Hanshu Li Shiqi", Ban Gu clearly said a sentence that was very famous in later generations: "The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky." ”

......

Zhang Jiashi believes that he cannot change the fact that the Great Qin Empire is also a country based on agricultural culture in a short period of time, and he also does not want to change this, because although the Great Qin Empire has the title of a country with a farming and warfare system in later generations, in essence, the Great Qin Empire is more inclined to agricultural culture than other systems.

Therefore, at this point, Zhang Jiashi knows that he can't change anything, and can only take precautions or improve in some aspects.

He does not want to implement a ban on alcohol, which can be regarded as an idea of Zhang Jiashi in this regard.

In Zhang Jiashi's thinking, in addition to affecting his means of obtaining money, the prohibition also had a great impact on the circulation demand of the corresponding food.

At this time, in addition to the consumption and storage of grain, winemaking was another major way to consume grain.

There is no doubt that if sake brewing has a solid foundation, it will inevitably drive the demand for food, so that the supply of food can be met accordingly.

In this way, the peasants' income in this regard is correspondingly guaranteed.

However, Zhang Jiashi is also well aware of the inferiority of human beings, and if there is a widespread failure of harvest across the country, such a situation will not meet the situation he expected.

So in a sense, the "standing close" system also has its inevitability.

It's just that Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the tortuous process and the final result of the "regular liquidation" system during the Song Dynasty.

In the third year of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (992), the Song Dynasty closed the position in Gyeonggi; After the third year of Jingde (1006), except for the border prefectures and counties, the whole country has been generally set up. According to the number of people, each state retains 120,000 to 23,000 yuan for the capital, and the summer and autumn grains are cheap every year, and the market price is increased by 35 cents, and the price is reduced when the grain is expensive, and the reduction shall not be less than the capital. If it has not been produced for more than three years, it will be refilled with grain, and it is easy to use new grain. After that, due to the surplus of Changping and the lack of food for the soldiers of the three divisions, Changping Qiangu was often diverted to help with military expenses. In the second year of Xining (1069), the green seedling method was implemented, and the Chang Liquidation method was replaced by the green seedling method, and the money accumulated by the valley was 15 million Guan Shi (including the accumulation of Guanghui Cang) was also used as the money capital of the green seedlings, and the loan was released before the summer and autumn of each year, and the harvest was repaid with the two taxes, and the interest was divided into two cents. For seven years, it was changed to half of the scattered money to receive interest, and once a year, half of the green seedlings were distributed at a reduced price. In the past nine years, the number of money and goods in various places has increased to more than 37,390,000 stones. In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1139), after the rebuilding of the regular position, the old method of resuming the old method of scattering and collecting was resumed. In the third year of the main road (1167), Zhulu Changping and Yicang accumulated 3,579,000 stones of rice and 2,871,000 yuan of money, most of which were imaginary numbers. For example, in Shinshu, the account book contains 93,000 koku, the reported number is 68,000 koku, and the amount of menstrual disc is only 12,900 koku. Closing positions is dead in name.

In this case, if Zhang Jiashi sets up a standing position system, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than the situation in the Song Dynasty.

After all, there are some things that Zhang Jiashi can't really put an end to. Even if he is alive for the rest of his life, there will be no big mess in the "Chang Ping" system, but if he is not there, or if there is any problem in the Great Qin Empire at that time, I am afraid that the "Chang Ping" system will only feed a large number of moths.

Such a situation is not what Zhang Jiashi wants to see.

Therefore, in terms of economics, Zhang Jiashi still believes that it is a better way to meet the corresponding supply and demand in many aspects.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is also very clear that his thinking will also have corresponding problems. But in such a situation, the Great Qin Empire can get more taxes, and in some ways, it can also achieve the result of making the material circulation system more perfect, Zhang Jiashi will not think that this method will be bad.

After all, compared with the previous rulers, Zhang Jiashi's way of thinking tended to develop commerce, and agriculture was the foundation of the country.

Zhang Jiashi came from later generations, and in terms of his way of thinking, attaching importance to commercial circulation is not a bad thing, perhaps attaching importance to commerce or something will indeed cause some things that he is also unwilling to see, but there is no doubt that in terms of Zhang Jiashi's own understanding of later generations, commerce has become an important basis for a country's taxation at that time.

It can even be said that if the Great Qin Empire can vigorously develop commerce, then in a few decades, the development of the Great Qin Empire will inevitably be even more advanced in many aspects than the peak of the initial emperor period.

Therefore, through this great court meeting, Zhang Jiashi made a corresponding hint, that is, if the environment permits, he does not mind that commercial development gradually becomes a focus of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, the current situation of the Great Qin Empire is not very good, and he, the leader of the Great Qin Empire, is undoubtedly not a good thing.
