Chapter 173: Togu Reform
Taiping Daoist is busy for his ideals, and he is obviously happy and happy at this moment.
Every day in the future, he would go to the camp where the wild man was, and he would personally take the pulse of the wild people, personally prescribe medicine to the wild people, personally grab the medicine, dispense the medicine, and finally teach them how to boil the medicine.
The most important thing is that Taiping Daoist is a true idealist, and he does not directly stand tall because of his high cultivation, and feels that he is not the same kind of person as the savages.
On the contrary, even if they are only one step away from the real person, Taiping Dao people still adhere to their own ideas and still do not forget their original intentions.
Perhaps, it is this kind of persistence that does not forget the original intention that has made him who he is today.
A few days later, at the invitation of Wang Jujun, Jiang Hua came to Lijun.
The rite of Lijun refers to the Zhou rite.
Somewhere in the wilderness of Lizhen Town, Lijun, Wang Jujun sat on the ground, with a small table in front of him, and he personally made tea and invited Jiang Hua to come to taste tea.
When Jiang Hua sat down, Wang Jujun poured the tea unhurriedly, the water was a spiritual spring, and the tea leaves were also spiritual tea, and there was already a faint fragrance of tea overflowing in all directions as soon as he started brewing.
After Jiang Hua took a sip quietly, Wang Jujun slowly put down the teacup in his hand and started chatting today.
"Taishou, I've read the first issue of Hundred Schools of Thought, and this book is indeed beyond my imagination."
"I thought Taishou was also a character like a hero, this is my fault, my vision is restricted, I salute you."
As he spoke, Wang Jujun poured Jiang Hua another cup of tea.
In this first issue, Taiping Daoyou told about his own ideas, although I don't agree with many of them, but I also felt between the lines the great ideals of Taiping Daoist to Taiping, and also felt his persistence. Although the Tao is not the same, I am also willing to express my admiration for Taoists like Taiping Daoyou. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Jujun poured himself a cup of tea, raised his glass to Taiping County next door, and then drank it all.
"I invited the lord to come over today, I want to further explain my personal governing philosophy to the lord, and I also hope to use the journal of a hundred schools of thought to spread my philosophy, and I also hope to see the views of other Taoist friends."
Jiang Hua took a sip of the tea in front of him, blowing in the wind, basking in the not very strong sun, and he was in a very good mood: "Of course, Daoyou, you are the second to arrive after all, so the next conversation with Daoyou, I will record it word for word in the second issue of the Hundred Schools of Thought." ”
"At that time, there will also be a lot of submissions from Taoist friends published in the second issue."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua thought for a moment: "But there is a fact that must be told to Daoist friends in advance. ”
"Oh? I don't know what it is? ”
"That's right, after the release of the first issue of the Hundred Schools of Thought, there were a lot of letters."
"It's only seven days, and there are already thousands of letters. The farthest of these letters came from the land of Bashu, and the most recent came from Yancheng itself. ”
"Many of these thousands of letters were signed by real names, and many of them were even letters from real people and the first monarchs."
So soon, the first monarch wrote a letter to the journal of a hundred schools of thought, which Jiang Hua did not expect.
"Some of the letters are more intense in language and a little unbearable in content."
It's all about greeting the family, and even greeting the three generations of ancestors, the quality is really bad!
"Some seniors have even made it clear that they oppose it."
"There are also many people who have also criticized harshly."
"There are a lot of objections, but not many in favor."
"Moreover, some of these letters will be directly published in the next issue of the Hundred Schools of Thought, for the world to comment."
"Therefore, once the Taoist friend publicly expresses his own ideas, the Taoist friend may not be greeted with approval and praise, but with questioning and provocation."
Hearing this, Wang Jujun laughed and disagreed: "This is normal, when I was in Qufu School Palace, many people thought that I was too conservative, full of Zhou etiquette, and thought I was pedantic. ”
"Therefore, I was ridiculed by the world, and I expected it."
"Their ridicule and questioning only made me more determined in my choice."
Jiang Hua nodded slightly, anyway, he had already told Wang Jujun in advance about the consequences, and no matter what happened at that time, it had nothing to do with him.
But Jiang Hua felt that there should be a lot of people who would find Wang Jujun and Taiping Daoren Xiaolin to make an appointment at that time. This wave, is it considered an online single kill?
"My governing philosophy can be summed up in a few words: Wang Tian, abolition of slaves, Junguan, credit loans, and official mountains and seas."
Listening to these five words, Jiang Hua was excited, he straightened his waist, symbolically tidied up his clothes, and listened carefully to Wang Jujun's narration.
"Wang Tian, in essence, all the land belongs to the monarch alone. All the land belongs to the monarch. ”
"The monarch will grant a certain amount of land to the common people, the countrymen, the scholars, the doctors, and the ministers."
"These lands are still essentially owned by the monarch, the common people, the people...... and others, they only have the right to use these lands, so they have no right to buy and sell land, and even if they buy and sell, it is invalid, and they will be directly invalidated when they are ordered. ”
"In my opinion, most of the corruption in this world starts with the sale and purchase of land."
"Most of the common people became savages, and they also started by buying and selling land."
"If the common people have not bought or sold their land, and have never lost the land on which they depend for their survival, then the common people will not go bankrupt and will not become savages."
Granting land to the common people was done by all dynasties in the previous life.
At that time, every time the country was founded, the population declined drastically, a large number of people died in wars, and a large number of people were swallowed up by Haoqiang and families, and the population on the books was often very small.
At such times, in order to snatch the population from the family and the powerful, the monarchs would grant land. If a common person grants 50 acres or 100 acres of land, in a sense, this can be regarded as a flat land, but it is a wasteland that no one cultivates.
In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, when the vassal states, ministers, and doctors open up the wasteland, they will also grant land, which is basically divided according to the head, and when it comes, it will follow a certain amount of land.
Therefore, although Wang Jujun's Wang Tian system is somewhat exaggerated, this concept is not exaggerated, and similar concepts have been proposed long ago. Wang Jujun was not the first to propose such a concept, but he may obviously be the first to practice it in the last few hundred thousand years.
Just rushed this, Jiang Hua had to give him a thumbs up.
Why?
That's traffic!
That's the hot spot!
That's the topic!
There are too many people who have discussed the ideas related to the Wang Tian system for hundreds of thousands of years, so there must be a lot of people who pay attention to whether Wang Jujun's reform is successful, and the related controversy is also very big!
With these controversies, there must be a fierce quarrel over a hundred schools of thought, and this sales will naturally open.
Even the nobles will buy and study seriously.
Over time, the idea spread to the nobility.
Although the simple spread of ideas can't change the ass of the old aristocracy, it can inspire more common people and make more ordinary people raise their heads to see the world.
"What about abolition?" Jiang Hua asked directly.
"The abolition of slavery is the abolition of slavery, and today, all of them are descendants of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and our ancestors were a family many years ago."
"But for so many years, for the sake of the insignificant trace of Heavenly Emperor's true blood contained in the savage's body, many people have directly used the savage as a cultivation material, and tortured and captured the savage at will, without any humanity at all."
Jiang Hua directly gave Wang Jujun a thumbs up: Lingniu!
Abolish slavery, this is against the nobility of the whole world!
In any case, the Heavenly Emperor's true blood is really full of temptation.
Slaughter your countrymen at will, and you will be overthrown by angry people.
At this time, you can only slaughter the savages at will.
After all, it's just a group of savages, and if they don't learn Zhou etiquette, their political status is equal to Yidi, no matter how they are concocted, they are all politically correct.
"The abolitionist slave in the last years of the previous dynasty didn't end well, and this slavery has a long history in the Great Zhou, Mr. Jujun, if you do this, it is estimated that even the Zhou Li line will oppose you. The idea is the idea, the interest is the interest, and the interests that want to be put down in the vernacular are ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua shook his head slightly.
Wang Jujun immediately smiled: "That's why I will practice my ideals in Lijun." I can't change the minds of the old aristocracy, and I can't make them give up slavery simply through words, I can only practice my ideals in a blank place like Lijun. ”
"In any case, there should not and cannot be slaves in the county!"
"As for the slave trade, it is resolutely forbidden and will never be recognized."
"Regardless of the outcome, the ideas of the Taoist friends are admirable." Jiang Hua said lightly.
"As for Junguan, he is mainly responsible for counting the price of every item in each place, and after counting the monthly price, he finds the average price of various goods."
"At the same time, large-scale warehouses will be set up all over the country."
"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place is significantly higher than the average price, the average officials will open the warehouse, take out the commodity that has been stored for sale, and bring down the price little by little, and at the same time make a profit."
"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place is significantly lower than the average price, the average officials also have to open the warehouse, but this time they are taking out money, raising the price little by little, and carrying out large-scale harvesting, so as to ensure the stability of prices."
"When the price of a certain commodity fluctuates violently in a certain place, and the local warehouse does not have enough stocked goods, it can be retrieved from a nearby warehouse."
"When the price is high, sell it, and buy it when the price is low, so as to ensure that the prices of various commodities are always in a normal fluctuation range, so as to ensure the normal life of the people."
"So, Junguan is actually evenly lost?" Jiang Hua thought silently.
It is also a decree with a long history, which was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties will adopt this policy many times.
"And what is the credit?"
"Credit is a government decree to deal with the lack of money for the people."
Speaking of this, Wang Jujun's expression became even more firm: "I have investigated the lives of many savages and ordinary people, and I have also traveled to many different towns and counties to investigate. ”
"I found that the most common people used their money was when they married their daughters-in-law and the elderly died or fell ill suddenly."
"Many ordinary people will be very short of money after some kind of accident at home, but the family often has no money, and they will sell their land after they have no choice."
"However, I have implemented the Wang Tian system, and land cannot be bought and sold, so what should the people do when they encounter an accident and urgently need money?"
"If you put it in the past, it can only be a land sale. But if all the land has been sold, then you can only sell your wife, son, daughter, and slavery......"
"So, there is a decree on credit."
"Every commoner has the authority to borrow 10,000 yuan from the imperial court every year."
"After the 10,000 yuan is borrowed, there is no interest to be repaid for three months. From three months to one year, only one percent of the interest will be repaid. ”
"After a year, if you still can't pay the money, you have to participate in the construction of reservoirs, canals, roads and other work, and at the same time take care of food and housing, and pay a little every day."
"Every commoner has the right to borrow 100,000 yuan from Chaotian once in his life."
"This opportunity, there is only one time, and once it is used, it is gone."
"Credit is a government decree specially used to make the people anxious, and it can also effectively crack down on usury among the people."
Loan sharks are almost everywhere in the world.
Most of the nobles are more or less engaged in this industry, and even this industry has become a cash cow in the hands of the nobles.
But fortunately, there are no nobles in Lijun now.
In short, this is another decree to cut the flesh of the nobles and drink the blood of the nobles, and once it is issued, it will definitely be extremely controversial.
"As for the last Guanshanhai, Guantong manages, and Guanshanhai is to manage special industries such as salt and iron in a unified manner."
"This is also the decree of the predecessors of Guanzi, who believed that the direct collection of taxes such as poll tax and land tax would cause dissatisfaction among the subjects, and it was easy to be handed down by the small officials, and the tax of one penny was levied on the top, and the people at the bottom had to pay a tax of ten yuan, which was not conducive to the development of the imperial court."
"Therefore, the predecessors of Guanzi directly implemented the official mountain and sea decrees, monopolized salt and iron, and unified salt and iron, which are necessities of the people's daily life, to be managed and sold by the imperial court."
"Naturally, the pricing power is also the final word of the imperial court."
"When the imperial court is short of money, it only needs to raise the price of salt to obtain a large amount of extremely considerable income."
"Salt is a necessity, and you can't do without it. Therefore, even if the price is increased, the people can only buy, and if they don't buy, they can't live. ”
"The advantage of this is that it is taxed at the price and taken from the intangible."
Before many ordinary people could react, they had already been cut leeks by the salt tax.
It's not okay not to buy it, so there is private salt.
The higher the official salt price, the more illegal salt will be overflowing!
This is the main reason why all dynasties and dynasties have to strictly crack down on illegal salt, and this private salt is robbing the court of money!
After listening to Wang Jujun's thoughts, Jiang Hua also said seriously: "I thought that the reform of Daoyou was purely to respect Zhou Li, and to reform according to Zhou Li, but now it seems that Daoyou is also a Togu reform, not a person who eats the ancients, but I underestimated Daoyou before." ”
Wang Jujun smiled slightly, still looking calm and confident.
Guan Shanhai is the idea of Guanzi, the Qingmiao Law is Wang Anshi's reform, Wang Tian is the idea of many people in ancient times, and the idea of Sang Hongyang is the idea of leveling and losing. If you look at history, you will find that all contemporary government decrees can be found in ancient times.
