Chapter 38: One word "grab"!
Ran Fang glanced up at Wang Xuan, said lightly, and said, "The people are the foundation of the state, and the country is solid." ”
"Confucian Mencius also said, 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'."
"Sir, what do you think are the people in the mouths of these sons and hundreds of families?"
Wang Juan thought for a moment before he spoke: "The people in the mouth of the gentleman should be the people of the world. ”
Fusu agreed with Wang Juan's words, and nodded, what else is there to ask about this people?
"The people should be the people who work under heaven."
Unexpectedly, Ran Fang glanced at the two of them and shook his head slightly, obviously not satisfied with the answers of the two
He said softly: "In my opinion, this is not only the people of the world, but the people under the emperor are all people. ”
"But these people are different, and they can be divided into soldiers, farmers, merchants, sappers, and soldiers."
Hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had heard this statement.
There is no mention of the ministers of the court, because they are officials.
"Then according to Mr. Shi's words, all the officials are the people?"
Ran Fang shook his head, "I just said that everyone except the emperor should be called a people, but this people also have different classifications. ”
"Among them, it refers to the nobles, that is, the officials and officials of Great Qin."
"You can also understand the rest of the categories, so what I mean by governing the people is governing the people of the world."
Wang Juan understood this, but he didn't agree with Ran Fang's words, if he wanted to govern the farmers, merchants, workers and soldiers, it would be shaking the foundation of Great Qin.
"Mr. just said that many officials in this Great Qin already have different intentions towards Great Qin, if they want to move them, wouldn't that push them to defect?"
"As for agriculture, His Majesty has proposed that the head of the Qianshou should be from the field, and he has already made changes for the agriculture."
"That industry and commerce are already one, and now their taxes are already very heavy, if they increase the taxes again, I am afraid that those people will unite to rebel against Daqin."
"It's even more impossible to be a soldier, the power of the army is in the hands of His Majesty, who can dare to move?"
Fusu looked at Wang Xuan, a little incredible, he actually knew the current situation of Great Qin, which was something he couldn't do.
"It is really a blessing for the people to have an official like Lord Wang."
In fact, Ran Fang didn't expect that this Wang Ji was impressive, but the more he behaved, the more suspicious Ran Fang became about his identity.
Now, though, is not the time to talk about that.
He looked at Wang Juan and said, "That's right, this is the problem of Daqin now, so what Daqin has to do now is not to cure but to live, and to revive this dead situation." ”
"It's very simple, it is to strengthen the strength of Great Qin, only if you are strong, you will not be afraid of those resistances."
Everyone understands this principle, but how to do it is a question.
Even Yingzheng wants to make Great Qin stronger and become the overlord of the world, but who can do this?
Wang Juan was a little disappointed, and thought that Ran Fang could say something, it turned out to be such a fake big empty structure.
"Who doesn't know what the gentleman said, but who can do it?"
Ran Fang knew that they were wrong, and he didn't take the distrust in Wang Xuan's words to heart.
He smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, if you want to do this, you have to consolidate your foundation." ”
"This book is the heart of the old Qin people, and to consolidate the foundation is to consolidate the hearts of the people."
"At that time, even if the sky is turbulent, as long as it is about this land, Great Qin will never fall."
Wang Wan's heart sank, and he understood what Ran Fang meant.
Now that there is dissent in the old land, it is not something that can be solved overnight, and it is not something that they can solve by force.
As long as the land in the pass is guarded well and the people in the pass are cured, then other people will naturally be able to see Daqin's heart, and naturally there will be no more dissenting intentions.
He apologized for his recklessness just now, bowed down and said, "Please give me advice." ”
For this kind of thing, Ran Fang didn't care about it, he glanced at Wang Juan lightly, and said, "It's very simple, if these people lack anything, they will give it." ”
"Daqin used to give military merits, and the military merit system attracted everyone to do it desperately for Daqin, but now that Daqin has no war, those people naturally can't get anything, and some people can't even share the land, so they naturally don't want to Daqin."
"In that case, let's think of another way."
"That's it...... Give money! ”
"Give money?!" Fu Su exclaimed first, he was a little surprised that Ran Fang could say such a thing.
Obviously, he did not agree with this approach.
"Questions?" Ran Fang looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Do you think it's okay?" ”
Wang Juan smiled bitterly and answered this question for Fusu: "Daqin, I'm afraid I don't have so much money." ”
Although he is only an imperial historian, he also knows something about the treasury of Daqin, and in recent years, His Majesty has built mausoleums and the Great Wall, and he will not leave too much money for the treasury at all.
Moreover, he is not in favor of giving money.
"Besides, this money is absolutely impossible, how many people in the world, even if the taxes of the next few hundred years are counted, I am afraid that it will not be possible."
"Besides, there is no precedent for giving money to the people."
"Give money...... It is easy to mess with the law, will the people still work when the time comes? ”
I have to say that Wang Juan can also see through human nature.
Knowing that they can get something for nothing, who will work hard?
Ran Fang shook his head and said: "Since it will not be given in vain, farmers do not collect taxes, and a certain reward must be given to those who farm the land every year, and this reward must ensure that it falls into the hands of the people, is it not enough to arouse the competitiveness of farmers?" ”
"The same is true for the rest, it is enough to set up a certain reward system to arouse the centripetal force of the population."
"For some people, what Daqin gives is a minority after all, and they are still willing to make money themselves."
I see, Wang Juan nodded, he was narrow-minded.
However, things are not settled yet.
He smiled faintly and said with some embarrassment: "But the matter of money has not been solved yet." ”
Ran Fang had already thought that at the speed at which Yingzheng was spending money, this Great Qin naturally had no money.
However, he has a way, "If you don't have money, you can make money." ”
His eyes were slightly closed, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes, and he said slowly: "If the imperial court doesn't have it, and it can't collect taxes, then print money, or rob money." ”
They can understand this printing money, isn't it too much to grab money?
Fusu didn't expect Ran Fang to say such a rebellious thing and let Da Qin rob the money, isn't this ridiculous and generous?
"Rob? This...... Isn't it inappropriate? ”
Wang Juan has experience this time, and he believes that the robbery that Ran Fang said should be different from what he thought.
He cautiously asked, "What do you mean by robbery?" ”
Ran Fang gave him a teachable look, and then glanced at Fusu with disgust, why didn't he learn to be stable after following him for so long?
"It's to rob, but it's to rob the rich businessman's money, and it has to be reasonable."
"Although there are many people in Daqin who are hungry, there are also some rich businessmen who live a life of wine and meat in Zhumen, and even some are richer than princes, although these people pay heavy taxes, they can still get rich, so where does their money come from?"
"You must know that although Daqin does not value commerce, it does not suppress business, these merchants seize the business opportunities of salt and iron, these necessities, and naturally have a steady stream of money."
"If the imperial court takes these into its own hands, and then develops and manages them by special people, isn't that equivalent to having money?"
"To put it bluntly, it is to rob their business, collect it as state-owned, and give them the right to operate, but not ownership."
Wang Juan looked at Ran Fang's eyes with a touch of shock, this Ran Fang wanted to do so directly, directly cutting off their financial route.
It can indeed be called a robbery.
"I have been taught, and what the gentleman said is very reasonable."
"If you can really collect these for the court, then there will be no shortage of money."
