Chapter 1144 The Final Arrangement ([-])

Those who should get on the train have already got on the train, and those who are not on the train now have no interest in the war, nor do they have much influence on the direction of the war.

In any case, long-term interests are related, and the interest rate of special government bonds should be reduced by two or three points at that time.Of course, although it is actually similar to asking the salt merchants for money before the court, it is selling the long-term interests of the country in exchange for short-term gains, and converting the long-term sales into short-term reductions in national debt interest.

But this is the way it is now, whoever can raise money in a short period of time has an advantage.In the long run... In the long run, after the butt wipes are done, how long even Dashun can live is a question.Sell ​​it, you can sell it.

There is no way, now the whole world is stretching their hips, and there are only one or two countries that are capable of collecting comprehensive middle-class taxes and income taxes.

Dashun is obviously not among them, and can only get money from the chaebols at the top, with limited administrative capabilities.

As for Meng Songlu, who was passively involved, he was still enthusiastically fantasizing about showing off his skills, not knowing that he would be pushed to the moment of decision soon.

When the sandalwood trade, stained with the blood of the people, prospers, and when the sandalwood corvee collapses the local agricultural economy, he will decide which side he stands on.

Righteousness and evil are a kind of bifurcation.To punish Jie and Zhou, Confucian scholars can choose this way.

But, there are still bifurcations.

Is it to close the country, cancel the sandalwood trade, destroy all sandalwood saplings, stabilize the small peasant economy internally, and make yourself unprofitable, so that capital will be too lazy to come over and continue to close the door and build a three-generation rule?

Or switch trade, control sandalwood profits as primitive accumulation, use sandalwood profits as import funds, upgrade and develop agricultural and handicraft industries, and integrate into the new era economic system dominated by Dashun?
These are all "positive", but very different.

There, perhaps, Meng Songlu will understand earlier and more deeply than his classmates of the same school and school that the fork in the road has come.

When he and the chaebols of Whale Sea Company left this room, they saw Quan Zheshen waiting.

Thinking of Liu Yu's straightforward allusions, he didn't hide the words of Yizhi of the county, he just nodded at Quan Zhe and didn't say anything.

Quan Zhe responded to Meng Songlu's nod, adjusted his clothes, and finally waited for the call of the guards.

He has been waiting here for a long time, and he has also witnessed the bright and gorgeous side of Songsu who has completely opened up the gap.

After the guard searched him, he led him to the wooden door.

Quan Zhe finally helped his clothes, swallowed, and walked into the room after the guard opened the door.

No matter what, the old celestial system has not yet disintegrated, and the person he wants to meet inside is already the duke in the celestial system.

How to be polite, but also to abide by.

After kneeling down, Quan Zhe raised his head quietly and looked at the man in front of him with his own eyes.

"This is the man who opened up the country, led to the collapse of the country, the annexation of the land, the rampant currency, and the misery of the good people."

Thinking this way in my heart, what I saw was a kind-hearted face. He was in his prime, not even the golden age of a politician, and he looked very peaceful.

There is also no demeanor of not being angry and arrogant, not to mention the fantasy of killing people with eyes, there is nothing unusual about it.

At least, if you don't think about the fact that the man in front of you fought from the Western Regions to Japan, and then from Japan to the Lion Kingdom outside of Nanyang, then it doesn't look different.

Quietly looking away, just about to say something, but the other person spoke first.

"In any case, a person with the heart of saving the world and the people dares to come here in a private boat. For this alone, it is commendable."

"good very good."

After a while, Quan Zhe didn't dare to agree.

"Are you here to ask what is wrong with Wang Ba? Or are you here to ask for help to enrich the people and the country, or the way to save the people? Or do you think this is a matter that Wang Daoxing can understand? Think it through, and answer me."

It sounds like this is just a simple multiple choice question.

But Quan Zhe knew that this question was difficult.

His emotions towards Dashun and Liu Yu were very complicated.

Dashun is not Ming Dynasty, and has no great favor for the survival of North Korea, at least not intuitively.

The ancients used medicine as a metaphor and talked about this problem long ago.

[The eldest brother sees God in illness, and removes it without visible form, so the name does not come from the family.Brother Zhong heals diseases in the vellus, so the name does not come from Lu.If the flat magpie, the blood, the poison, the skin, the leisure and the famous are heard by the princes]

Dashun has actually solved many things, but these things are not intuitive, when it comes to personal feelings...

Is it more touching that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to fight against the Japanese and survived the dynasty?
Or is it more touching that Dashun developed the navy, and World War I destroyed the possibility of Japanese unification, and there was no danger of Japanese invasion from then on?
Is it more emotional to wait until the Westerners rushed to Northeast Asia, directly affecting the Korean country, and the Chinese dynasty started a war in the name of defending the vassal?

Or would it be more touching if the Chinese Empire built a large navy and took advantage of the war in Europe to go to Southeast Asia to isolate Westerners from Malacca?
Undoubtedly, it is the former.

As for Liu Yu specifically, what did Quan Zhe see in his eyes?

It is a port opening.

It is the currency that appears.

It is the complete collapse of the original rural economy.

It was the land mergers in the countryside that began to develop like never before, and the good people were in poverty.

It was Dashun who abolished the second-tier trade between North Korea and Japan, so that the more than one million taels of silver accumulated by North Korea's sneaky trade with Japan was basically gone.

The difference between North Korea and Dashun is too great. Dashun itself has a history of thousands of years. Han and Tang, Song and Ming, these are all completely different when you look at the economy, taxation system, and bureaucratic system. countries within the cultural circle.

Even if you are from the same cultural circle, which stage of this long history did you learn?
In North Korea, where slavery still exists and private land theoretically does not exist, many things are already on the verge of disintegration.

The port opening and other things made this kind of disintegration happen in a form that was only slightly slower than the radical reform of Jiangsu.

At least, that's how Quan Zheshen and others viewed it, and that's what his teacher taught him.

But speaking of it, Liu Yu still felt wronged.

Silver is money.

So cloth and rice are not currency?
It is obvious that North Korea implemented the Daedong rice system, converted the tribute to the rice system, and the military cloth system, which led to the emergence of certain equivalents and promoted the formation of a unified market.

A unified market has emerged, and the issuance of coins is a matter of course.

The fish, shrimp, skin, and medicinal materials that were originally tributes were all converted into rice, but now they are converted into money. Isn't that like a bird?
The opening of the port allowed the equivalent of currency to enter the market. It can only be said that it replaced rice and cloth as currency, but it cannot be said that Liu Yu made currency, private ownership, and commodity exchange appear in North Korea.He can't do that.

It's just a fucking coincidence, in time for the completion of the economic recovery period of North Korea after the invasion of Japanese pirates and the war in the late Ming Dynasty, and the stage of commodity economy development.

This made it seem that everything was caused by him.

It was a coincidence, originally it was just a "catalyst", but now it seems to be the "root cause".

Quan Zhe is still young, and his belief in and research on Confucianism is not so firm.

He was not even very firm at all, otherwise he would not have rushed towards Christianity in history. He said that he held the evening mass only to practice the meaning of "respect" of Song Confucianism, and what he recited was not " The Rosary is Zhu Zi's "Jingzhai Proverbs", so it is hard to say whether it is true or not.

There are many people, Mu Qiang and Mu Fu.

From boarding the boat to witnessing the upheaval of Jiangsu, Quan Zheshen may have seen the most eye-catching thing, that is, the dead body he saw in Songjiang when he first came.

The rest are rich and eye-catching.

Although there are no jaw-dropping things such as iron-clad ships, but because of the destruction of Huai'an in Yangzhou, a large number of middle-class people, traders, small merchants, and employees needed to go outside to cook without water and gas. In the brick and stone residential area downstairs, it is still very shocking.

As for the cannibalism of dogs that had a huge impact on his young heart, it doesn't need to be mentioned.

Now Liu Yu directly asked him what he was going to do.

So after a little hesitation, he still gave the answer of "saving the world and enriching the people".

It would be great if he could be as rich as Songsu.

He smuggled from Seoul to Dashun, and he only saw Jiangsu, and it was Jiangsu, where foreign trade expanded rapidly after radical reforms.

As for those remote areas in Dashun, or the areas where the contradictions between people and places with inconvenient transportation are extremely intensified, he has never seen them.Consciously, Gansu may be slightly worse than Songjiang Mansion, but it is expected that the difference will not be too much.

After giving this answer, Quan Zhe knelt down on the ground again, touched his forehead to the ground and pleaded: "Duke Xingguo has the ability to enrich Jiangsu, and please teach him how to enrich the people."

"Students come from the small country of Dongfan, and they want to learn from great Confucians. Mr. Mianzhuang said that the way of our country is in Songsu. The students risked their lives to see them, and begged the Duke for advice."

"Our country has always been loyal and obedient, and the hearts of the vassals are undivided. I only hope that the Duke of the country will read Jizi's virtue and benevolence and give him advice."

Quan Zhe was willing to go all out, and at first he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, but after he really came here, under Liu Yu's urging, finally Mu Qiangxin won the victory.

Liu Yu actually didn't know Quan Zheshen, including his teacher.There are a bunch of schools on Dashun's own side, and it is impossible for him to know all of them, that is to say, he has a little overlap with the Yan Li school and the textual research school.

However, since he is in the same cultural circle and also a Confucian scholar, he has a general understanding of the thoughts of these people.

Basically, it's going backwards, the old three.Variant well field system, or field equalization method.

Gone.

In terms of land, the most basic and core economic factor, I have never heard of anyone out of this circle.

And they are almost certainly "utopian" factions, counting on the upper echelons to reform spontaneously, either without touching the interests of the landlords, or under the reforms that the landlords can accept.

Stretch out your finger and nod a little.

Reducing the tax on official land and increasing the tax on private land made landowners voluntarily invest in official land.

Set a time frame after which the land cannot be bought or sold.

30 years redemption.

I implore the landlord to do benevolence and kindness, and voluntarily give the tenant a permanent lease.

After the established line is drawn, officials and the people are encouraged to report those who cross the line and continue to merge, the people will sue the people, and the officials will sue the officials.

... This is basically the best idea among the least nonsensical ideas. If it can be higher than this, it is absolutely nothing.

Liu Yu can clearly say that Wang Yuan's theory of only farming and land, industrial and commercial taxation and honors, and urban housing tax are the highest versions under the impact of traditional culture and industrial and commercial development.

Confucian scholars in North Korea don’t have much brains, and they all learn a set of things. It’s just that when they started to play practical learning here, they were still doing Zhuzi studies there, but the core remains the same, and they certainly can’t escape this circle.

How can I say that Dashun is also a cultural mother country, but Dashun has already thought of any plan that the Confucian scholars of the vassal state can think of.

Even in the case of North Korea, there is no need to follow Confucianism, and the economic foundation is too advanced.

Flip through the books directly from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and most likely you will find exactly the same ideas as they have been thinking about for 30 years.

Pure fucking reinvention of the wheel.

It is impossible for Liu Yu to go to these vassal states in the cultural circle to find a feasible solution for Confucianism.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to know much about the great Confucianists in North Korea.

But since this person came here by smuggling and went straight to Cheng Tingzuo and others, Liu Yu had a rough idea of ​​his teacher's thoughts.

Liu Yu doesn't understand the difference between qi, reason, and heart, and doesn't know that both schools are practical studies, but there is a huge difference in the construction of these philosophies.

But when it comes to things like economic demands, ownership, and land systems, it’s like fish looking for fish and shrimp looking for shrimp.After a rough guess, the circle was narrowed to an almost understandable level.
