"How can this be reasonable, Huangkou Xiaoer, the old man has read hundreds of classics, even Master Kong doesn't dare to say such things to the old man, you! You ......" Chu Sui's good hand trembled.

I still looked at this famous calligrapher and Confucian master very kindly, and said: "Mencius does not speak of profit, it is not that there is no profit at all, but it does not speak of the benefit of the villain, and the great benefit, what is the great benefit?" I held my head high, glanced at the ministers present, and continued to say in a loud voice: "The great benefit: the benefit of the country, the benefit of the people, the benefit of the people, the benefit of the people, the benefit of the community, benevolence and righteousness? What is benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and righteousness are the great interests of the world, otherwise, why did Mencius say: the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light? What is a Merchant? Is it Jun? No, is it a social ji? No, they are all the people, the four people of the sky, the farmers and the industrialists, for the benefit of business, and the benefits of the world, this is not benevolence and righteousness, what is it? A rich country and a strong people are the great interests of the world and the place of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Good! I couldn't help but almost cheer for myself, now, no one dares to jump on me and hang crookedly, right? The sound of the hand board and the jade board and the clapping resounded in the court, and even Uncle Li couldn't help but stand up from the dragon chair: "Hahahaha, good, good Fang Jun, you really deserve your self-humility of being rich and rich, talented and talented, hahaha......"

No way! Uncle Li is really not a good bird, he always likes to talk crookedly at my words back then, almost crooked my nose, the original cheers almost turned into loud laughter, even the old man shook his head with a wry smile, and Uncle Wei Zhengwei, who rarely smiled on the side, was also grinning with a mouth that lacked a front tooth.

"Okay, what my beloved son-in-law said is reasonable, everyone, do you still think that my beloved son-in-law's article on business is inappropriate?" Uncle Li glanced at the ministers, and this time, it was quiet.

----------------------------------------------------------- angry, why do these so-called Confucian masters always like to misinterpret the meaning of the past classics, and have nothing to do when they are full? No, they chose what was advantageous to them to attack their opponents and political enemies, and tried every means to set the rule of law against the other party to death, this is the struggle of the literati, which is far more brutal than the struggle between military generals.

Finally, I explained to Uncle Li my views on the four peoples, why are there four people in the world? They are not only direct participants in national politics, but also the creators and inheritors of Chinese culture and art. How can we accumulate the experience of past failures and promote social development?

And the peasants, that is, those who cultivate the land, collect mulberry and raise silkworms, without them, what do people eat and wear? Could it be that everyone talks about Sven with their bare butts every day?

As for the workers, that is to say, the group of people who created and built the country, without them, would there be Chang'an City? Will a soldier have a good apparatus to defend the country? Where did the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the hands of the scholars come from, and where did the jade ornaments they put on their bodies come from?

As for business, if there is no merchant, there will be no circulation, and there will be no way for everything in the world to circulate. Where does the state get its taxes from when there is no money?

“…… This agricultural work, of course, is the way of all industries and the source of industry and commerce. Without the production of corn, wheat, mulberry and flax, what do merchants sell, and to whom do the tools produced by hundreds of craftsmen be sold? Therefore, Weichen thinks that the four people in the world originally have their own duties, all are indispensable, and they are not equal, which is not the final say, but the final say. ”

"It's not a final say, but a calculation, well, well, compared to some people, the son-in-law has to see much farther, come to someone, reward Fang Qing's family with a hundred horses, and give a goldfish bag." Uncle Li laughed and put his hands behind his back, smiled at me, and said loudly.

For a while, when I heard the goldfish bag, I suddenly heard a gasp, and I couldn't help but gasp, nonsense, goldfish bag, that's the thing worn by the third-grade officials, and I wear purple fish for officials above the third-grade level in the Tang Dynasty. Three-pinned goldfish.

And I, a young man, am now an official from the fourth rank, and I have to give this thing, just like the braid dynasty gave some dazzling eyes and the like. It is a very grand honor, Uncle Li is obviously telling the big guys, all the courtiers, I, the second man of the house, Fang Junfang's beloved, is very favored by His Majesty.

This is different from the previous rewards, the goldfish bag is not just given to those officials who do not belong to this rank, well, the joy is a little too much, almost want to bite the teeth is not real gold, think about it or forget it, the court, if I do this, it is strange that the old man will not be peeled off the skin and salted when I go home.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Ministers will not die to repay His Majesty's kindness. "I diligently threw myself at Uncle Li's five-body body, well, it's very cool.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Uncle Li left me behind, and sat respectfully under Uncle Li, his hand still holding the goldfish bag there, and the corners of his mouth were about to smile crookedly.

Uncle Li said angrily and funny: "Virtuous son-in-law, what is this thing? ”

"It's worth a lot of money, and it's worth a hundred or so thousand." I was smug.

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Li almost rolled over from the couch to the ground with a smile, and Zhao Kun, who was standing behind Uncle Li, stared at me with a black line, like looking at a trader who specializes in selling fake and shoddy products.

"No, the son-in-law actually didn't mean that, the son-in-law ......" I couldn't think of a reason to fool around for a long time, forget it, admit it, anyway, who made your old man ask me on purpose.

Uncle Li laughed for a long time before standing up with his waist and eyes: "Okay, the old man doesn't smile anymore, hey, every time I see a virtuous son-in-law, I laugh more than usual in a month." By the way, the virtuous son-in-law, the land annexation you mentioned last time is just a reversal, the inevitable law, the old man thought about it carefully, and pondered carefully, it is indeed the case, whether it is the Han, Jin, Northern Dynasties, and the previous dynasties, there are such troubles, so that the old man has been unable to sleep every night for several days. ”

"Actually, Your Majesty, this is related to the population, why does every early dynasty always get a stable period of recuperation? It is because after the chaos, the decrease in population has led to a relative increase in the number of acres, and the people have good land to live on, who is willing to rebel? And every dynasty, after a long period of recuperation, the population will multiply, in addition to a series of factors such as land annexation, Your Majesty, you think, every time there is a disaster, the people have no food to eat, can only sell the fields, the fields will naturally go to the big families, and in the long run, the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer, so that it will be the end of the dynasty. ”

"What do you mean?" Uncle Li looked at me for a long time before he spoke.

"Actually, the son-in-law's shallow view doesn't know if it's right or not, but the son-in-law at least thinks that the people are the kindest in the world, as long as they can have a full bite to eat, who wants to do this kind of thing of losing their heads and destroying the nine clans? Therefore, the son-in-law thought that if he wanted the peasants to be rich and did not need to sell his acres of land to make his stomach, he first had to increase the yield of grain per mu, improve the farming equipment, and breed good seeds, so that the people's acres of land would increase and they would be able to eat...... In short, it is also a sentence, the four people of the world are the first to do so,"

Uncle Li frowned and pondered: "The old man also understands the truth of what the virtuous son-in-law said, but when this year of famine comes, there will always be people who lose their land, which cannot but be said to be the responsibility of the court." Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have built more righteous warehouses, but it is still not enough to help the victims. It is often eaten from other places, more than it is delivered, and five out of ten is considered to be less. ”

----------------------------------------------------------- I touched my head and frowned and thought hard for a long time, the rise and fall of the country is too much, and the problem of farming is too complicated, not just by my mouth to talk about it can be effective, first put aside, since Uncle Li mentioned the disaster relief, then let's start from this point first, and say something practical: "The son-in-law thinks that this has to be fundamentally started, The most important thing is to build roads. If you want to get rich and the country is stable, you have to build roads. The road is good and fast, the transportation time is short, just like the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, which has been built most of the time, from Chang'an to Shaanzhou, if it was in the past, it takes at least one day and one night, and now we use the cement road built by the captives, the time has been shortened by half, and, driving on such an avenue, not only the time has been shortened, we can also transform the vehicle, in the past, because of the road, the car is only hundreds of catties, if you use four [***] cars, once, the weight of a thousand catties can also be obtained, not to mention, If the various state capitals of our Datang are connected by this kind of cement avenue, not only will it be more convenient for business and trade exchanges, but it will also bring more taxes to the country, and if there is something going on in that place, my army in Chang'an will also be able to ......."

“…… Road? Uncle Li pondered for a long time, raised his head, and shouted: "Come on, the secretary of the Ministry of Communication will come to see me quickly." ”

Yan Lide soon arrived, Uncle Li asked about the cement straight road from New Chang'an to Luoyang, and when he asked, as I said, Yan Lide also praised it very well: "In the past, the construction of roads not only required the people to work hard, but also the court also had to send money and silk, and also took into account the agricultural time, and stopped repairing from time to time, not to mention that it was to repair such a road nearly two zhang wide, even if it was a mud road in the past, it would take several years, and now, only less than a year, it is about to be repaired to Luoyang, and the cost of iron silk is less than fifty percent of the previous straight road." ”

Uncle Li didn't say anything in the end, but just encouraged me to talk to Yan Lide for a few words and let us leave, but I could see that the sharp mangs in Uncle Li's eyes were not ordinary, indicating that Uncle Li had paid attention to the construction of the country's main roads. Originally, who wouldn't want to do such a cheap thing as taking prisoners? Well, the captives may not want to, but no one here asks for their opinions and suggestions.
