Age of mythical princes

Chapter 172
Taoist Taiping is busy pursuing his ideals, and he is obviously happy and joyful at the moment.

Every day after that, he would go to the big camp where the savages were. He would personally feel the pulse of the savages, prescribe medicines for the savages, make and dispense the medicine, and finally teach them how to make medicine.

The most important thing is that Daoist Taiping is a true idealist. He didn't just stand tall because of his high cultivation level, and felt that he was not the same as the savages.

On the contrary, even though he is only one step away from the real person, Taoist Taiping still sticks to his philosophy and never forgets his original intention.

Perhaps, it is this kind of perseverance that does not forget the original intention that made him what he is today.

A few days later, at the invitation of Wang Jujun, Jiang Hua came to Li County.

Li in Li County refers to Zhou Li.

Somewhere in the field in Li Town, Li County, Wang Jujun sat on the ground with a small table in front of him. He personally made tea and invited Jiang Hua to come and taste tea.

When Jiang Hua sat down, Wang Jujun poured the tea unhurriedly. The water is a spiritual spring, and the tea leaves are also spiritual tea. Just after brewing, there is already a faint tea fragrance overflowing in all directions.

After Jiang Hua took a sip quietly, Wang Jujun slowly put down the teacup in his hand and started today's chat.

"Prefect, I have already read the first issue of Controversy of a Hundred Schools of Thought. This book is indeed beyond my imagination."

"I thought the prefect was also a hero. It was my fault. My vision was restricted. I would like to offer you a toast."

With that said, Wang Jujun poured another cup of tea for Jiang Hua.

"In this first issue, Fellow Daoist Taiping talked about his ideas. Although I disagree with many of them, I can also feel the great ideal of Daoist Taiping for Taiping from the lines, and also feel his persistence. Although the way is different Not conspiring with each other, but for Taoists like Friends of Taiping, I would like to express my admiration to them."

Having said that, Wang Jujun poured himself a cup of tea, toasted to Taiping County next door, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Today, I invite the lord to come over to tell the lord further about my personal governance philosophy. I also hope that I can use this journal to spread my ideas widely, and I also hope to see the views of other fellow Taoists. "

Jiang Hua took a sip of the tea in front of him, basking in the wind and basking in the not very strong sun, he was in a good mood: "Of course, you are the second one to come after all, fellow daoist, so the next conversation with you, fellow daoist , I will record it verbatim in the second issue of the contention of a hundred schools of thought."

"At that time, there will be many contributions from fellow Taoists published in the second issue."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hua thought for a while: "But there is one fact that must be told to friends in advance."

"Oh? I don't know?"

"It's like this. After the release of the first issue of Contention of Schools of Thought, there were many letters."

"It's only the seventh day now, and there have been thousands of letters. The farthest of these letters came from Bashu, and the latest came from Yancheng."

"Many of these thousands of letters are signed with real names, and many are even letters from real people and the first monarch."

Jiang Hua did not expect that the first monarch would write a letter to a hundred schools of thought journal so soon.

"Some of the letters have more intense words, and the content is a bit unbearable."

All of them are greeting the family, even the three generations of ancestors, the quality is really not good!

"Some seniors even clearly expressed their opposition."

"There are still many people who have also criticized severely."

"There are many opposing opinions, and not many favorable opinions."

"Moreover, some of these letters will be directly published on the next issue of Controversy of a Hundred Schools of Thought for people all over the world to comment on."

"So, once a fellow daoist expresses his ideas publicly, what greets him may not be approval and praise but questioning and provocation."

Hearing this, Wang Jujun laughed and didn't take it seriously: "It's normal. When I was in Qufu Academy, many people thought that I was too old-fashioned, that I was too conservative, that I was full of Zhou etiquette, and that I was pedantic. Unbearable."

"So, being ridiculed by people all over the world, I have already expected it."

"Their ridicule and questioning will only make me more determined in my choice."

Jiang Hua nodded slightly. Anyway, he had already explained the consequences to Wang Jujun in advance, and no matter what happened at that time, it had nothing to do with him.

But Jiang Hua felt that there should be quite a few people looking for Wang Jujun and Taiping Taoist Xiaoshulin to make an appointment.Does this wave count as an offline solo kill?

"My governing philosophy can be summed up in a few words: Wang Tian, ​​abolition of slaves, equalization of officials, credit loans, and official mountains and seas."

Hearing these five words, Jiang Hua was shocked. He straightened his back, tidied up his clothes symbolically, and listened carefully to Wang Jujun's narration.

"Wangtian, 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 common people, countrymen, scholars, officials, and ministers."

"These lands are still owned by the monarch in essence. The common people, the people of the country... and others only have the right to use these lands, so they have no right to buy or sell the land. Even if they do, it will be invalid. Once an order is issued, it will be directly invalidated."

"In my opinion, most of the corruption in this world starts with buying and selling land."

"Most of the common people became savages, and they also started by buying and selling land."

"If the common people have never bought and sold land, and never lost the land on which they live, then the common people will not go bankrupt and will not become savages."

Granting land to the common people has been done in previous dynasties.

At that time, every time the country was founded, the population dropped sharply, a large number of people died in the war, and a large number of people were annexed by powerful and aristocratic families, and the population on the books was often very small.

At this time, the monarchs will grant land in order to snatch the population from the aristocratic family and the powerful.If a commoner is awarded [-] mu or [-] mu of land, in a sense, this can be regarded as equal land, but the average land is uncultivated land.

In today's Great Zhou, all the vassal states, ministers, and officials will also grant land when they open up wasteland. Basically, they are divided according to the number of people. When they come, they get a certain amount of land.

Therefore, although Wang Jujun's Wangtian system is a bit exaggerated, the idea is not exaggerated. Someone has already proposed a similar idea.Wang Jujun was not the first to put forward this concept, but he is obviously probably the first to practice it in the last few hundred thousand years.

For this, Jiang Hua had to give him a thumbs up.

Why?

This is traffic!
This is hot!
That's the topic!
There are too many people who have discussed ideas related to the Wang Tian system in the past few hundred thousand years, so there must be a lot of people concerned about the success of Wang Jujun's reforms, and the related controversies are also very big!

With these controversies, there must be fierce quarrels on the contention of a hundred schools of thought, and the sales will naturally open up.

Even the aristocrats will seriously buy and study carefully.

Over time, ideas spread to the nobility.

Although the simple dissemination of ideas cannot change the buttocks of the old nobles, at least it can inspire some common people and make more common people look up at the world.

"What about the abolition of slaves?" Jiang Hua asked directly.

"Abolition of slavery means the abolition of slavery. In today's world, all are descendants of Emperor Yan and Huang. Our ancestors were one family many years ago."

"However, for so many years, many people have directly used wildlings as training materials for the insignificant trace of the true blood of the emperor in their bodies, killing and capturing wildlings at will, without any humanity at all."

Jiang Hua directly gave Wang Jujun a thumbs up: Niuniu!
To abolish slavery is to oppose the nobles of the whole world!

In any case, the true blood of the Emperor of Heaven is really full of temptation.

Massacre the people of the country at will, and they will be overthrown by the angry people of the country.

At this time, they could only slaughter wildlings at will.

After all, they are just a group of savages. If they don't learn the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, their political status is equal to that of barbarians. No matter how they are concocted, they are considered politically correct.

"The abolition of slavery in the last years of the former dynasty did not end well, and this slavery system has a long history in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you do this, Mr. Jujun, even Zhou Li's lineage will oppose you. The idea is Philosophy, interests are interests, those who want to make empty talk let people put down the interests of their hands..."

Having said that, Jiang Hua shook his head slightly.

Wang Jujun smiled immediately: "That's why I will practice my ideals in Li County. I can't change the thinking of those old nobles, and I can't simply use words to make them give up slavery. I can only do it in Li County. In this blank place like the county, we can practice our ideals.”

"In any case, slaves should not and cannot exist in Li County!"

"As for the slave trade, it is strictly prohibited and will never be recognized."

"No matter what the result is, fellow daoist's ideas are admirable." Jiang Hua said lightly.

"As for Junguan, he is mainly responsible for counting the prices of every item in every place. After counting the monthly prices, he will find the average price of various goods."

"At the same time, build large-scale warehouses across the country."

"When the price of a certain product in a certain place is significantly higher than the average price, the average officials will open the warehouse, take out the product that has been stored for sale, and lower the price bit by bit, while making profits. "

"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place is significantly lower than the average price, the officials will also open the warehouse, but this time they will spend money, raise the price little by little, and carry out large-scale harvesting, so as to ensure stable prices."

"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place fluctuates violently, and the local warehouse does not have enough commodities, it can be retrieved from a nearby warehouse."

"Sell when the price is high, and buy when the price is low, 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 Junshuopingzhun?" Jiang Hua thought silently.

The decree of equal defeat is also a decree with a long history. It was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties often adopted this policy.

"What about credit?"

"Credit loan is a government order to deal with people's lack of money."

Speaking of this, Wang Jujun's expression became more determined: "I have investigated the lives of many savages and common people, and I have also visited many different towns and counties for investigation."

"I found that common people spend the most money when they marry their wives and when the old man dies or suffers from a sudden illness."

"Many ordinary people will be short of money after encountering some kind of accident at home, but they often have no money at home, and they will sell the land only after they have no choice."

"However, I have implemented the Wangtian system, and the land cannot be bought and sold. At this time, when the people encounter an accident and need money urgently, what should they do?"

"In the past, we could only sell the land. But if we have sold all the land, we can only sell our wives, sons, daughters, and slaves..."

"So, there is a credit decree."

"Every commoner has the authority to borrow [-] yuan from the imperial court every year."

"After the ten thousand money is borrowed, there is no need to repay any interest within three months. From three months to one year, you only need to repay one percent of the interest."

"After one year, if you still haven't paid the money, you have to participate in the construction of reservoirs, canals, road repairs, etc., and pay back a little every day while taking care of food and housing."

"Every commoner has the authority to borrow one hundred thousand yuan from Chaotian once in this life."

"This opportunity is one and only once, once it is used, it will be gone."

"Credit loan is a decree specially used to urgently urgently need people, and it can also effectively combat private usury."

Loan usury is almost everywhere in every corner of 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.

Fortunately, there are no nobles in Li County now.

In short, this is another decree to cut the flesh of nobles and drink their blood. Once it is issued, it will definitely be extremely controversial.

"As for the final Guanshanhai, Guantong management, Guanshanhai is the unified management of special industries such as salt and iron."

"This is also the decree of senior Guanzi back then. Senior Guanzi believed that direct collection of poll tax, land tax and other taxes would cause dissatisfaction among the subjects, and it would be easy to be manipulated by petty officials. If the top collects a dollar of tax, the people below will have to pay. A tax of ten qian is not conducive to the development of the court."

"So, senior Guanzi directly implemented the official Shanhai government decree, specialized in salt and iron, and unified the management and sale of salt and iron, which are daily necessities of the common people, by the imperial court."

"Naturally, the pricing power is the court's final say."

"When the imperial court is short of money, it only needs to increase the price of salt to obtain a large amount of extremely considerable income."

"Salt is a necessity, and without it, you can't do anything. Therefore, even if the price is increased, the people can only buy it. If you don't buy it, you can't live."

"The advantage of this is that the tax is included in the price, and the benefit is invisible."

Before many ordinary people could react, they had already been cut off leeks by the salt tax.

But it’s not enough not to buy, so there is private salt.

The higher the official salt price, the more private salt will be flooded!
This is the main reason why all dynasties have strictly cracked down on private salt. This private salt is robbing the court of money!
After listening to Wang Jujun's thoughts, Jiang Hua also said seriously: "I thought that Daoist friends' reform was purely admiring the Zhou rituals, and reformed according to the Zhou rituals, but now it seems that Daoist friends are also reforming from the ancient times, and they are not people who are obsessed with the past. , I underestimated Fellow Daoist before.”

Wang Jujun smiled slightly, still with that calm and confident look.

　Guan Shanhai is the idea of ​​Guan Zi, Qingmiao Law is the reform of Wang Anshi, Wang Tian is the idea of ​​many people in ancient times, and even loss is the idea of ​​Sang Hongyang.If you look at the history, you will find that all contemporary government orders put on make-up and wash your face, and you can find examples in ancient times.
