Liu Ziyue didn't care what the emperor's policy was, but it sounded very unreasonable. Why are people not allowed to plant mulberry trees because their land is fertile, do people still have to bear the blame for the good water and soil here?

"The amount of money used by the imperial court every year has basically not changed, and the most important thing to reduce annexation is to reduce agricultural taxes, and most of the small farmers sell their land because they have exploited too much. Li Xu explained his thoughts to Liu Ziyue: "Only when the agricultural endowment is reduced can the farmers be willing to produce." If farmers are willing to produce, the yield of food and other crops will increase. ”

At present, the land management model of the Yu Dynasty is roughly divided into two types, one is small-scale farmer management, and the other is manor-based manor agriculture. Compared to the small plot of land cultivated by the small farmers themselves, the estates of the families were more productive and productive because they had advantages in animal power, farming tools and other supporting facilities.

But in order to maintain social stability and fiscal revenue, Li Xu must first protect the smallholder economy. Smallholder farmers are inefficient and vulnerable to natural disasters, so the first step to protect them is to reduce taxes, and the imperial court must go deep into the business sector to make profits.

"Governments everywhere have a sum of money to lend. The interest rate is very high, and the capital can be doubled in seven or eight months, but the businessman is still happy to do it, which shows that the business of the merchant is hugely profitable. Li Xu said.

In fact, the handicrafts and commerce are very profitable nowadays, which can be seen from the interest on capital.

Dayu's court is actually quite mean, except for the Beijing officials, most of the other officials have no money, and their usual expenses are from the public funds in the official office. The main means of increasing the value of these public funds is to lend to merchants, and the interest rate is extremely high, and the Lingshi of various places are responsible for the recovery of this money, and they are also known as the Lingshi of Catching Money.

The fact that interest rates are so high and the merchants are still happy to do so shows that the profits of crafts and commerce are so great.

In fact, the industrial and commercial food officer has a very important advantage, that is, the technology and products are far more reliable than the current private handicraft industry. In the government-run factory, the technology is easy to compile into information, and then pass it on, for example, Li Xu once saw a thing similar to a vernier caliper in the Shaanxi Provincial Museum, this kind of black technology is the product of the government-run handicraft industry.

In today's Dayu court, there is a similar Shanggong Bureau, the ordnance supervisor who manufactures weapons and armor, which is a handicraft industry under official control, but the products are not traded as commodities, but simply serve the imperial court.

Li Xu's idea was to accumulate wealth through industry and commerce, and then use currency to buy grain from the hands of the common people. In this way, agricultural products have the attributes of commodities, and through the scissors difference between the finished product and the raw materials, economic means can also be used to collect taxes from the wealthy households.

Transitioning the main source of state revenue from the countryside to the city is Li Xu's main idea for solving the current financial problem. However, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step, and the local officials are still old bureaucrats with the old thinking, and the policies of the imperial court will only change quickly, and the final result will only be a complete loss.

In this regard, the emperor's idea was to set up special zones and pilot projects. It's too difficult to implement it in the whole country, it doesn't matter, then just change Bai Yujing, one acre and three points of land in front of him. There are more than 20 counties under Bai Yujing, and Bai Yujing has a population of more than one million, so take your time based on this.

"Your Majesty's thinking is good, but there is still a problem. Liu Ziyue recalled the message expressed by the emperor, probably to raise small farmers, and then let the small farmers have a good life by transferring the objects of financial income. But the problem is that the theory is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

"Jiangnan is already a place where the poor have no cone, and the rich are connected, and Your Majesty is now going to change the wealth of the imperial court, and it is still useless for those poor households. ”

There are already a lot of landless and poor people in Jiangnan, this problem is like a powder keg, just waiting to be ignited, and Li Xu's prescription for slow people will basically not play a positive role in the problem that Liu Ziyue said.

In the face of such interrogation from Nantian Confucianism, Li Xu had no choice but to "talk about him left and right".

"Speaking of which, I have a question for my husband. Li Xu said, after all, Liu Ziyue of the Southern Heavenly Confucian Sect is a generation of martial arts masters, and he is faintly attached to the Central Plains martial arts bull ear, since such a character has come to his side, he naturally can't let it go lightly.

"Your Majesty, please speak. ”

"Since I practiced martial arts, martial arts have entered the realm day by day, and I am quite apprehensive in my heart, I don't know if there will be any hidden dangers. Although Li Xu was calm about martial arts training, he also had a faint worry in his heart, that is, if he was riding a rocket like this, would he leave any hidden dangers.

After all, in the martial arts I have read before, such an improvement speed is generally only available to evil characters who are about to quit the scene and receive a bento.

"Your Majesty asked about this. Liu Ziyue smiled: "If I guess correctly, Your Majesty's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, it shouldn't be long, right?"

"That's right, some time ago, I meditated and practiced qi, and suddenly understood that there is no difference between virtual and real, true qi seems to be like a river and sea flowing endlessly, and then with the operation of true qi, put the outside outside of the body, and there will be all kinds of power on the body. Li Xu frowned: "I don't know what this is going on?"

"Your Majesty has ever heard these two poems?" Liu Ziyue said: "'The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror platform. Always wipe diligently, and mistakenly cause dust. The other is 'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform.' There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. ’”

Li Xu shook his head, these two poems he had never heard in his previous life or in his present life.

"These are two monks participating in Zen and playing a sharp edge, the former poem was made by Dongshan Shenxiu, and the latter poem was made by Lingnan Huineng. Liu Ziyue explained: "There is nothing wrong with the former poem and the next poem. The former poem is about water grinding, grinding forward little by little, and the latter poem is about instant enlightenment, which in the final analysis falls on a person who does not stir up dust. ”

"People in the world have different roots, there are good roots, there are dull roots, and there is naturally a difference between fast and slow when practicing martial arts. Liu Ziyue stroked the beard on his chest quite self-consciously: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I have not practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I read "Mencius" at home at the age of fourteen, and read that 'I am good at nurturing my Haoran Qi, which is qi, the greatest to the strongest, and harmless to be directly raised, and it is stuffed between heaven and earth. I suddenly had a feeling in my heart, and there was a long howl, and the sound shook three thousand feet around, and the true qi was self-contained, and it was boundless. ”

"I see. Li Xu nodded thoughtfully.

"The human body is so stupid, why can the true qi be able to rise like a flying bird as soon as he is lucky?" Liu Ziyue then explained, he deliberately chose the example around the emperor and said: "It seems that the fish auxiliary country cultivates the Yanyang Miracle Skill, and can condense the True Qi into flowing fire according to his will, Cheng Qili's Nine Death Evil Skill, every time he is hit hard, his skill can be doubled, what is the reason for this?"

"So in my opinion, the true qi of martial arts cannot be measured by common sense. Liu Ziyue said: "I practice archery in Yuelu Mountain, which is one of the six arts of the gentleman, hang a wooden target on a big willow tree in the mountain, shoot it every day, and suddenly one day I understand the method of 'consistent', as long as the mind hits the target, it is to shoot the arrow to the sky and finally fall on the target." What makes sense of that?"

"I heard that Your Majesty's cultivation is the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Practice Golden Bell Jar?"

Li Xu nodded, in fact, since the Manichaean rebellion, because of his deliberate spread of rumors, the matter of his own practice of "Thirteen Taibao Henglian Golden Bell Jar" has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and for a while, there are actually many good people who have gone to look for the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent" that can break the "Thirteen Taibao Henglian Golden Bell Jar", but they have never been able to find it.

"This martial art, I have also heard of it, it is said that it is a unique machine, and the true qi does not need to be warmed in the dantian. Liu Ziyue couldn't help shaking his head: "Ordinary people, the true qi must run through the meridians and be contained in the dantian." I read and read with clear qi, and my true qi is scattered all over my body, moving with my heart. According to common sense, Your Majesty and I have already died in a real outburst. ”

"Mr. Qing's magic skill is to spread it and send it to the martial arts for everyone to practice, and there are few people who can practice it. Because in their hearts, the true qi can only run according to the meridians and be nourished within the dantian. This kung fu is the suicidal kung fu that goes mad. Even if they really cultivate, most of them will go mad. ”

"Could it be that Your Majesty has a special physique and is different from ordinary people?" Liu Ziyue pointed out the key: "It's just that we believe it, and they don't believe it." It's just a little obstacle to knowledge, such as the statement of the meridians, if you carefully examine the source, the earliest source code is just "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", and this book is just a forgery from Tuogu, and most of the allusions used in it are from the Western Han Dynasty. Then before that, when there are no meridians, there is no true qi and no martial arts in the world?"

However, everyone in the rivers and lakes believes in it, because faith naturally has meridians, and true qi can only run on meridians. ”

Li Xu was silent in his heart, he was able to accept Na Luoyan's doctrine and quickly sense the fluctuations of all things, could it be because he knew the theory of wave-particle duality of microscopic particles in his previous life, so he could comprehend this fluctuation method?

"The world's martial arts, each has its own transmission, only the Central Plains martial arts have a variety of different cultivation theories, as for Tubo, Nanzhao, Mobei, their martial arts are different from ours, but everyone has the same path. Liu Ziyue said: "In my opinion, the foundation of martial arts in the world is not in qi, but in mind. ”
