"Fan Zheng opposes Fan Chunli's change of law?"

Seeing this scene, the entire vertical arch hall was in an uproar, and no one expected that there would be such an unexpected reversal.

"Why is Fan Taicheng against this party?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised.

The reason why he appointed Fan Chunli was that he wanted to use Fan Chunli's hand to promote Fan Zheng's evil formula, and now Fan Chunli lived up to expectations and found a way to solve the deficit crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that it was Fan Zheng himself who jumped out to oppose it first.

The other officials also frowned, judging from the style of the French workshop, this must be Fan Zheng's evil recipe, but they didn't understand why Fan Zheng suddenly objected.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Weichen opposes this because although this law can solve the deficit of the imperial court in a short time, it is not conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

"Nonsense! Merchants are responsible for their own profits and losses, and the government collects taxes, which has been proven in the Maritime Silk Road, and it is a feasible law. Yang Wei sneered.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The doctor prescribes prescriptions, always pay attention to one person, Fan is naturally the same, the businessman is responsible for his own profits and losses for the Maritime Silk Road, and the state-owned workshop is in the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally it cannot be used together, this time the Great Song Dynasty is short of money and can sell the state-owned workshop, but next time, when the Great Song Dynasty has a deficit crisis, how to sell it, this is a strategy to kill the chicken and take the eggs." ”

Zhang Dan's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "The ministers agree with Fan Taicheng's opinion, although the state-run workshop has some drawbacks, but it is enough to stabilize the private economy and provide taxes for the imperial court. ”

Taking advantage of Fan Zheng's opposition, Zhang Dian took the opportunity to play and prepared to keep the state-run workshop, after all, in the new party's law change, the state-run workshop was very handy to use, and it was the help of the new party's law change.

"Then dare to ask, does Lord Zhang have a good solution to the deficit of the Great Song Dynasty?" Yang Wei fought back.

The old party believed that officials did not compete with the people for profit, and that by taking the opportunity to sell off the state-run workshops, it could completely put an end to the state's businessmen, avoid corruption in the state-run workshops, and purify the ranks of scholars and doctors.

Zhang Dian was stunned for a moment, and could only say in a sneering voice: "I think that since Fan Taicheng is against it, there must be a good way to get the best of both worlds!" ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Fan Zheng's body.

"That old ...... The old man listens attentively, Fan Taicheng's prescription? Fan Chunli said coldly.

In an instant, above the court, the father and son of the Fan family faced each other, which can be described as a great spectacle in the court.

In the face of his father's questioning, Fan Zheng did not answer directly, but said loudly: "The state-run workshop has now become a stubborn disease of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the human body, it must be operated on, in order to remove the tumor, in order to restore health, and fortunately, now the doctor has created a new anesthetic, which is comparable to the boiling of numb, making people fall into a coma, even if the knife and soldiers are still unaware, so that the doctor can calmly complete the operation, this medicine comes out, it can be said that there are countless living people, and the stubborn disease that was originally helpless can finally be cured." ”

"I have also heard about this recipe, and the doctor has made a great contribution, so I will naturally reward it." Zhao Xu cooperated.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "However, although the new anesthetic has a good effect, it is not perfect, once the patient is anesthetized, he will fall into shock, although the doctor can successfully complete the operation, but at the same time, there may be a situation where the patient dies of anesthesia." ”

Baiguan frowned, not understanding why Fan Zheng deviated from the topic, but the disadvantages of self-detonation anesthetics.

"Fan Xianggong's practice of privately owning state-run workshops is similar to the use of new anesthetics, and he completely abandons state-run workshops and sells them all to businessmen, which is like a doctor's shock therapy." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Shock therapy?"

Baiguan's heart moved, and I have to say that Fan Zheng's analogy is very vivid, the patient takes anesthetics, falls into shock, and allows the doctor to operate calmly, and Fan Chunli also puts the state-owned workshop into shock, and carries out drastic privatization reform, which is indeed similar to shock therapy.

Fan Zheng continued: "Shock therapy is extremely convenient, once it is successfully used, it will make the Great Song Dynasty recover from the serious illness and rejuvenate itself, and the Great Song Dynasty deficit will be completely solved, but the shock therapy also has the possibility of failure, which may cause the Great Song Dynasty economy to collapse and multiply the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty deficit." ”

Fan Chunli frowned and said, "This is impossible? Once the state farm is sold, the Great Song Dynasty can solve the deficit crisis in a short time, and only need to collect taxes in the future! ”

In this way, the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty was lifted, and the imperial court was greatly relieved.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course it's possible!" The state-run workshops of the Great Song Dynasty are too large, first of all, if they are fully privatized, the people will definitely not be able to come up with so much money at once, and they will only let the state-owned workshops be sold cheaply, or the people will only want excellent workshops, and some state-owned workshops that are not well trained will still be smashed in the hands of the imperial court. ”

"It's a possibility!" The New Party officials nodded their heads.

Businessmen pursue profits, so it is naturally impossible to buy and sell at a loss, and maximize profits as much as possible.

Fan Chunli thought for a while and said, "In that case, then the imperial court will sell the loss-making and poorly managed state-owned workshops first!" ”

Fan Chunli saw the move and immediately proposed a solution.

Fan Zheng sneered: "This is indeed a method, but the price of inexperienced state-run workshops will be very low, which will allow people with intentions to catch loopholes, and there will be state-owned workshops that deliberately drag down well-functioning state-owned workshops in order to resell them to businessmen at a low price, and grab huge bribes from them, or even take them for themselves." ”

Fan Zheng used the failed experience of shock therapy in later generations to bring the disadvantages of privatization of state-owned workshops one by one.

"It's madness!"

Suddenly, the hundred officials of the court exclaimed in surprise, and they all reprimanded angrily.

The imperial court has found a large number of moths in state-run workshops, so naturally it will not be more suspicious of state-run workshops, coupled with the privatization of state-owned workshops, it will definitely be accompanied by huge benefits, what Fan Zheng said is not impossible.

No! It's even bound to happen.

"In Fan Taicheng's opinion, how should we solve the shortcomings of state-run workshops!" Fan Chunli frowned and said.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Private ownership has its advantages, and the same is true for state-run workshops, what the imperial court has to do is naturally to take its essence and remove its dross, and the opinion of the lower officials is that state-run and private coexist!" ”

"Coexistence?"

The hundred officials couldn't help frowning, the court did not think that public and private would coexist, and the distribution of profits between officials and merchants in state-run workshops and the supervision and business of officials were the attempts of the imperial court, but they had little success.

Fan Chunli sneered: "After the investigation of the true appearance, many corruption problems appear in the distribution of profits between officials and businessmen and the supervision of officials and businessmen, and the coexistence of public and private affairs has been proven to be the wrong way, and it is most likely to breed corruption." ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The distribution of profits between officials and businessmen and the supervision of officials and businesses are indeed the most likely to breed corruption, and the coexistence of state-owned and private enterprises mentioned by the lower officials is not a public-private partnership in a workshop, but the coexistence of state-owned and private enterprises in an industry!" The two types of enterprises compete with each other and grow together. ”

"An industry where both the public and the private coexist! Isn't that a competition between the government and the people for profit? Yang Wei was dissatisfied.

In the old party's view, an industry is either wholly state-run or wholly private, and once the state-run and private-run coexist, it will inevitably create a situation in which the officials and the people compete for profits, which is not at all in line with the way of the sage.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "It's not that the officials and the people compete for profits, but the state-run and private enterprises compete with each other, and the imperial court does not interfere. ”

Zhao Xu was suddenly moved, the Great Song Dynasty court was in urgent need of money, not all of the state-owned workshops were not well managed, and a considerable number of them were well managed, and they paid a lot of taxes to the court every year, and it would be a pity if they were all sold.

"As for the remaining seventy percent of the workshops, those that can be saved can be saved, and those that cannot be saved or have serious losses and small scales do not have much value, and they can be resold to merchants, and the imperial court will levy taxes on them, so that the imperial court can not only obtain huge profits from state-run workshops, but also get rid of the burden of other workshops, and levy a lot of taxes, which will certainly make the imperial court's taxes go further, not only to solve the deficit crisis, but also to prevent the recurrence of the deficit crisis in the future."

The reason for the deficit crisis in the imperial court is one reason, the lack of money, the state-run workshops provide profits for the imperial court, and the private workshops provide taxes for the imperial court, and the coexistence of the two is enough to provide the imperial court with a steady stream of money and keep the imperial court's income and expenditure balanced.

Hundreds of officials pondered, this law is indeed a way to maximize interests, and the only drawback is that the imperial court has to bear the infamy of competing with the people, and now the officials are the most important to clear their names, whether it is all state-run or all private, there is no such concern, and Fan Zheng's proposal for the coexistence of public and private suddenly made the hundred officials in a dilemma.

Fan Zheng naturally understood the concerns of the officials, and said in his heart at the moment: "Your lords are high-spirited, keep in mind the sage precept that officials do not compete with the people for profit, Fan admires, but you can know why the past dynasties and dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed business!" ”

"Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business!" The officials were stunned and looked at Fan Zheng in confusion.

Yang Wei said with a disgusted face: "That's because businessmen don't produce, merchants have greater mobility, which is not conducive to the management of the imperial court, and there are even profiteers who are shoddy, hoarding, and raising prices, which is why it has been respected by all dynasties to value agriculture and suppress business." ”

Baiguan nodded slightly, the Great Song Dynasty had foreign enemies around him, and he urgently needed a large amount of taxes to relax the restrictions on merchants, but it didn't mean that they had changed the Great Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, but they just had to succumb to the pressure faced by the Great Song Dynasty!

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, this is the inferior nature of businessmen, if it is not controlled in the future, it will become a hidden danger in the future, why did the Great Song Dynasty set up state-run workshops on a large scale, and it was not businessmen who hoarded Juqi and raised prices, so they gradually set up state-owned workshops." ”

The officials were immediately quite useful, and as scholars, they naturally had resistance to businessmen, and they easily remembered the disadvantages of businessmen.

Especially in the New Party, Wang Anshi's original change of the law was to break the monopoly of businessmen on the market.

"Retaining the coexistence of the state-run and the private sector can not only allow the imperial court to obtain the benefits of the official and the taxes of the merchants, greatly increase the taxes of the imperial court, and solve the deficit crisis, but also the imperial court can use the state-run workshops to contain the merchants, so as to prevent the merchants from monopolizing the market, driving up prices, and hoarding, which is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone." Fan Zheng looked around and said solemnly.

"The imperial court can make a profit and contain the merchants!" Zhao Xu was immediately moved when he heard the news.

In order to collect more taxes, although the Great Song Dynasty relaxed its management of the merchants, it was not without worries about the merchants, and now the state-run workshops that keep Sancheng running well can cure the disadvantages of the merchants, which is indeed a good prescription.

The court officials nodded helplessly, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is well known to the world for its lack of money, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty has not yet dominated the world, and is in urgent need of financial support, and the court naturally wants to pay more taxes, but because the court does not compete with the people for profit, the court and the merchants have always been distinct, and Fan Zheng's theory of using state-owned workshops to contain the merchants and stabilize the economy gave the court a perfect excuse.

In this way, the government can make a profit, and it will not have to bear the infamy of competing with the people for profit, and it can prevent businessmen from raising prices, which is indeed a good policy.

"But what if businessmen run private workshops and suppress state-run workshops?" Yang Wei thought about it and said worriedly.

The state-run workshops occupied a monopoly advantage, but they still ran the workshops in a mess, and if they competed with the shrewd merchants of the people, it was afraid that they would collapse into an army, and by that time the imperial court would lose both the benefits of the state-run workshops and the control of the merchants.

Fan Zheng sneered: "State-owned workshops occupy the best resources, but they still can't compete with private workshops, which means that their workshop owners are incompetent, and naturally the capable are on the top, and the inferior are on the bottom!" ”

Baiguan's face suddenly twitched.

"Of course, the Royal Bank will also give some support to state-run workshops, such as low-interest seedling money, so as to revitalize some poorly managed state-owned workshops!" Fan Zheng gave a sweet jujube to a stick.

The face of the hundred officials eased slightly, the state-run workshop has the best resources, and the support of the Royal Bank, if it can no longer compete with the private workshop, it can only be said that it is incompetent.

"You Aiqing still have opinions!" Zhao Xu asked loudly.

Hundreds of officials were silent, whether it was the old party that still believed in the bureaucracy and did not compete with the people, or the new party that insisted on state-run workshops, they had no choice but to make compromises in the face of the huge deficit of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The ministers have no opinion!" Su Song, on behalf of the ministers, finally agreed to this plan!

"Then with Fan Aiqing's performance, it will become a French workshop!" Zhao Xu ordered.

"Yes!"

Fan Chunli stepped forward in response.

Baiguan looked at Fan Chunli and Fan Zheng's father and son with complicated faces, and secretly guessed in his heart that the scene of the father and son fighting between the DPRK and China should not be the father and son acting!

After all, no matter how you change the French workshop, it will cause opposition from the government and the opposition, and the father and son fight each other like this, but let the French workshop go smoothly!

However, now, the hundred officials have no chance to object, so they can only sit and watch Fan Chunli hold the power, sharpening his knife and slashing at the state-run workshop.
