Chapter 402: Establish the country with the Tao and send money
I don't bother to explain to them at the moment, it's the twenty-first century.
The Ming Dynasty has actually been dead for hundreds of years.
It's hard to change some people's mindsets.
And thankless.
Don't try to debate with people with low cognitive background, because they will beat you with their experience. Then he pulls you in, runs with him, and makes you a mess.
But when I think about it, I think it's funny.
If you can really build a country in China, the ancient feudal dynasty, and implement the Taoism, the history of China will definitely undergo great changes.
Because Huang Laozhi learned this thing, it was extremely advanced.
More advanced than the current United States.
For example, to send money, different laws are applied in each state...... and other operations, all of which are the rest of what we once played. In the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor, these operations have long been provided with a theoretical basis.
And it's a very clear basis.
A language that even a fool can understand.
There is also benevolence in Taoism, but the benevolence of Taoism is not the benevolence of Confucianism.
So why, did the ancients not rule the country with Taoism? Even Wenjing's several emperors who ruled the country with Tao used the emasculated Tao - rule by inaction?
Because of the interests.
For the sake of profit, those feudal aristocrats discarded the most advanced things, and then chose the worst thing that was most beneficial to them - Confucianism.
They're not stupid,
It's bad.
……
Next.
Ying Tianfu.
Forbidden City, on the Temple of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the ministers and held a regular court meeting.
"Rank ministers, we have been practicing the Tao for a while in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Except for education, all the people read Huang Laozhi's works, and there seems to be no actual policy for governing the country." ”
"It is used to embody the rule of the country."
"Your Majesty, statecraft is a major national event, not an overnight effort." A minister said, "And the previous Huang Lao's study is very old, and many strategies in this regard have been lost." ”
"The Ming Dynasty is the first dynasty to govern the country with the complete Huang Lao's learning, and it is not a simple rule of inaction."
"Therefore, all kinds of statecraft must be carefully considered, and we have no examples that we can copy or learn from."
"So it's a long-term, daunting task."
However, Weichen believes that after waiting for a long time, Huang Laozhi's learning will be thoroughly read by everyone. The Ming Dynasty will give birth to a large number of outstanding thinkers and rulers who ruled the country by Huang Lao. ”
"What you say means you don't say it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Of course we know that after a long time, all kinds of good strategies will come into being." ”
"But we can't wait that long."
"Now, let's formulate the first one, which is a policy of governing the country with the characteristics of 'building the country with Taoism'."
"Please also ask the emperor for advice." When the ministers heard this, they said one after another. Because Huang Laozhi's school is too old, there is a fault of thousands of years from now, so the ministers can't think of a good strategy.
And now that Zhu Yuanzhang has actually begun to formulate a policy, he has to amaze the crowd.
"The first strategy to build a country with Taoism is to ......" Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said, "Send money to the people!" ”
"Give money to the people?"
When the ministers heard this, they were shocked.
Is this a way to govern the country?
"Your Majesty, giving money to the people is to govern the country with Taoism?" Li Shanchang couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The Yellow Emperor's Four Classics in the "Sutra" cloud: those who benefit from the world win the world, mortals die evil and live happily, those who are virtuous and return to profit, and those who can make profits are also Tao. ”
"In other words, the policy of governing the country that can bring benefits to the people is Taoism."
"To give money to the people is to govern the country with Taoism."
"It is the court and the people of the world who jointly obtain benefits."
Mr. Qin said that in ancient times, that is, the period when the Yellow Emperor ruled the country. Because of the general low social productivity, some human bodies were weak and could not hunt prey, so their ruling class, the Yellow Emperor, and those strong clansmen distributed some of the prey to the people to prevent them from starving to death. ”
"This is the same as the current money."
"Jin Xing Shangshu Lu Chang!" Zhu Yuanzhang said by name.
"The minister is here." Lu Chang stood out of the train in surprise.
"How much silver is in my Ming gold bank, that is, in the treasury?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Because of the recent rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the conquest of Goryeo, Wa and other places, coupled with the prosperity of trade, and the plundering of gold and silver from overseas. Therefore, the treasury is the deposit of silver in the gold bank, totaling 200,000 taels. Lu Chang replied honestly.
"Hubu Shangshu Ru Taisu!" Zhu Yuanzhang said again.
"The minister is here." Ru Taisu stood out of the train.
This Ru Taisu is also a ruthless person, and once wrote a piece of more than 10,000 words to Zhu Yuanzhang, which was full of water, but was beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang. But it's all a small thing, and it doesn't affect anything.
After Zhu Yuanzhang beat him, he continued to let him be the secretary of the household department.
"How many households does my Daming currently have?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Your Majesty." Ru Taisu said, "In the Ming Dynasty, there are currently 40 million households with household registration records. The population is 20,000,000,000 people, and of course, because of the inconvenient transportation, there are many black households that are not counted. ”
"So be it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Of the 40 million registered people, each household will receive ten taels of silver!" ”
"Issued from the treasury!"
"Nationalize all the money banks in the country, and then give them to every household, build a deposit stub, and distribute the money directly to their accounts. In this way, the officials who directly cross the middle avoid someone in the middle from being greedy for ink. ”
……
When the ministers heard this, they were directly dumbfounded.
Emperor, want to send silver directly to the people?
And is it so much as ten taels per household?
This is something that has never been done before!
In the past, I had never heard that it was the imperial court that grabbed benefits from the people, but I had never heard of the emperor giving money to the people. In the past, it was the people who were oppressed by the court and their lives were miserable, but now it is the court that gives money to the people!
In the past, the common people were miserable because of all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but now they received money directly from the emperor.
Emperor Zhu is simply the opposite of the previous dynasty.
In other words, the establishment of a country by Taoism and the establishment of a country by Confucianism are reversed.
Give the people real money, no one says now, the country is just a slogan, right?
"Your Majesty ...... the Emperor" At this time, Lu Chang had to stand up and say, "There are 40 million households in the country, and each household has ten taels of silver, that is, 40,000 silver will be sent out!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is an astronomical sum!"
"Your Majesty, the silver inventory that the Ming Dynasty has earned over the years is not easy!"
"Please ask the emperor to think twice, think again!"
It can be seen that Lu Chang is a miser character and doesn't want to pay money at any time.
"Lu Chang, do you want to keep that money for the next cub?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said coldly.
