New Story of Lv Bu

"Dare to ask Uncle, what will Da Sima do?" Ma Rixi asked in a puzzled manner. "Uncle Weng, I have carefully studied the various actions taken by Da Sima in Bingzhou. Bingzhou has also encountered a big famine. In addition to the two relocations of large populations, the food pressure is very high. But Da Sima has survived!"

Having said that, Zhao Qi stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of Ma Rixi. "His method is nothing more than five. One is to pay for work, the government pays food and money, hires a large number of labor, builds water conservancy, repairs, builds docks, and widens roads! The benefits of this are obvious. Use With limited money and food to build a new state, the people can also tide over the difficulties."

"Secondly, build large-scale breeding bases, such as pig farms, sheep farms, duck farms, chicken farms, large-scale vegetable cultivation, etc. The first is to breed as many livestock as possible to obtain more For meat and eggs, secondly, the government pays the money and gives it to private operations. The meat and eggs are used to pay for the money and food invested by the government. If there are more meat and eggs, less food is needed, and it is easy to get results."

"The third is that the government loaned oxen, seeds, agricultural tools, and grain to farming cattle, seeds, farm tools, and grain. The people were recruited for land reclamation in five or seven years. After five or seven years, the land is their own after paying back the government's money. As for interest, It is only about three times in five or seven years. Compared with private private loans, it is very kind! People who have land will naturally not gather in the mountains and forests."

"Fourth, the army or the people, where the government supplies cattle, seeds, agricultural tools, and grain, and the army or the people garrison the fields, including food and shelter, and harvesting goods for seven people and three people. For the destitute people, this is also a way out. Most people who are not sure about the situation will choose this path. In this way, the army will have rations and the people will be happy and happy."

"Fifth, it is to rectify the bureaucracy and rest with the people. Da Sima will never hesitate to deal with corrupt officials. He has executed more than a thousand officials under his hand. Like opening a porridge factory, lending money to the people, and building large-scale officials. The farms are all fat and poor, and there will definitely be a lot of officials trapped in it! Da Sima just took advantage of this opportunity and took them all together!"

After saying this, Zhao Qi kept silent and looked at Ma Rixi quietly. "This remark is great!" Ma Rixi was a little jogging. "According to my uncle's method, hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou will surely be able to spend this year safely! If it weren't for my uncle's explanation, I wouldn't know that Da Sima turned out to be a capable minister! My Ma Riyun was a leader of the Qingliu, and it really looked like What Da Sima said, you can't do big things, and you don't want to do small things. The whole thing is a waste!"

Ma Ridan's face rose like pig liver, and he looked like he was ten years old. It's no wonder that he persisted in his lifelong firm belief that "everything is inferior, only reading is high". He was slapped a few big mouths severely in the face of reality, and he was dizzy, and he still hasn't come to his senses. Is it true that the belief I have always insisted on is really wrong? Ma Rixi asked herself in her heart.

"Oh! This is the problem with Qingliu! I don't hear things outside the window, and I only read sage books. Reading is a good thing! But, you can't read books, you must go for a walk, take a look, and listen. , What the ordinary people think and think. What do they like and what they don’t like, so as to ensure that your method can be accepted by them, is not feasible!

Zhao Qiyu said earnestly: "Da Sima started at the end of the day and has gone through a lot of battles. He knows all of these, so his method is feasible. Looking back at you clear currents, the idea is very good. If it is really done according to your method, it will be a good idea. It makes people laugh out loud! What's wrong? Ungrounded! The things that come out of the study are all fantasies that haven't been tested."

"Uncle Weng, I would advise you, don’t stay in the study all day, go and walk more. Mixing with the ordinary people, within a month, you will understand many things! Da Sima is better than you The thing is that he knows what to think! Lu Zigan has stayed in Bingzhou for more than a year, and he feels deeply. The scholars of Hetao Academy go to the countryside to do farm work every year! Taiyuan Wang's Lao Wangshu, 70 years old, is still taking care of him every day. With a bunch of young men and strong factions about Litian? Who wants to see him first have to plow six points of land, what do they do? Are they crazy? No! In order to mingle with the ordinary people, so that they can always maintain wealth! "

"My uncle's remarks are so kind! It made me feel right!" Ma Rixi suddenly realized like a divine enlightenment. He leaned over and solemnly bowed his bow and stood up and said: "For example, when I teach the "Five Classics", I always have to introduce the characters involved in it carefully. Some disciples are reluctant to listen and say,'We want What you learned is the "Five Classics", not history. Why are you talking about this? Isn't this a waste of our time?'"

"At that time, I stunned and went back: "You will all be officials in the future, or set up accounts and accept disciples. I don't know how these historical figures understand what they did at the time? You only know the inner saints. Outer Wang, Outer Confucianism and Inner Law, but do you know how these came about? How did they evolve to the present? If you don't know Confucius, how do you understand "The Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects"? If you don't know Dong Zhongshu, how can you understand This dynasty advocates the extraordinary significance of Confucianism? The so-called "Five Classics" means this! How to use the "Five Classics" in reality to solve practical problems, this is what you want to know!'"

"This statement is great!" As soon as he heard this, Zhao Qi's eyes lit up. "Confucianism uses literature to chase law, and chivalry to use martial arts to ban Confucianism. What is the significance of Confucianism? This is a problem that Confucianists must solve first! In fact, this question is very easy to answer. This is the meaning of Confucianism!"

"The world is made up of one family and a small family. How can you manage the country if you don’t even have a family? If the world is chaotic, you should take care of yourself and keep the seeds of reading! When the world is better, you can go out and join the officialdom. Learning to benefit the people. Everyone is in a different era, and his persistence and bottom line are also different. If you don’t understand what they do, how can you understand the era he is in? Let alone his writings and principles of action! In the final analysis, Confucianism It still has to be combined with world affairs!"

"This statement is great! My Ma Rixi has been taught a lot today! I will be a Confucian who knows world affairs in the future!"

A long wooden box was placed on the case table, and Wang Wei of Zhouhu Cao Zhuan and Shui Heng Duwei Kang Manti stood in the lower head with spring breeze, and reached out to beckon Lü Bu to open the wooden box. "Let me take a guess!" Lu Bu sat on the upper head, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke. "Cao Zhuan, a householder in Binzhou, is in charge of money, grain and finance, and Lieutenant Shuiheng is responsible for making money. You two appear in front of me together. There must be a major event related to the national economy and the people's livelihood! Could it be that new coins have been created?"

"Da Sima is like a god! The wooden box contains the new coins." Wang Kui and Kang Manti were shocked and shocked. "Look at Da Sima!" Kang Manti took a step forward and gently opened the wooden box. Captain Shui Heng's job was to make money and promote the new currency. Naturally, he was the mainstay and Gong Cao Zhuan was the auxiliary. , He stepped forward and explained that it was the meaning of the question.

In the wooden box, there are four gold coins lying quietly on the front and back sides, two of which are yellow and look like they are made of gold, and two of them are silver-white and seem to be made of silver. Lü Bu picked up one lightly and looked carefully. The coin was divided into two sides. On the front was his head portrait, engraved with the second year of Dahan Chuping on the top, and the Great Wall in the middle, with one or two characters engraved on the left and right.

"On the way to Daqin in the west, I often see western countries using gold and silver coins, which are easy to carry and do not need to calculate the weight. Therefore, this time I want to use gold and silver coins to replace the old five baht. Money, gold coins and silver coins each weigh one or two. The official exchange ratio between gold and silver coins is one to one hundred, and the official exchange ratio between silver coins and five baht in the state is one to one thousand, which is consistent money. The exchange rate for five baht for meat and other small coins is set on this basis. In the future, the exchange rate for the market may be higher than the official rate."

Conmandy is worthy of being a businessman and has a deep knowledge of money law. "This is mainly to facilitate the wealthy businessmen. They will no longer have to carry the five baht of hundreds of cars. This will greatly facilitate the circulation. In the areas under our control, the income of Lijin will be An increase of more than 20 times will account for more than 40% of the tax revenue of the combined state."

"As for the ordinary people, they don't have such a big expenditure. They can continue to use the five baht for meat and the five baht for the state, and their lives will not be affected. When the initial issuance, I will play the banner of deposit and withdrawal, gold coins. , Silver coins and meat, such as five baht money, and state five baht money, can be freely exchanged at the official office at any time. For those below 100,000 money, only 3% of the water fee will be charged, and those above 100,000 will be charged 5% of the water fee. "

"Okay! In this way, except for the five baht for the state and the five baht for the meat, all the small money on the market has disappeared!" Lu Bu was so smart, he immediately understood. "That's exactly what I meant!" Wang Kui laughed while rubbing his palm: "Dong Zhuo's small money broke the money method of the big man, and the people abandoned it, and used cloth and silk to trade. Use useless small money to exchange gold coins and silver coins. Or if it is combined for five baht, the people can still gain something, better than not spending it."

"I understand, but have you considered it? The change to the money law must be successful. If it is unsuccessful, Wang Mang is an example. How sure are you?" Lu Bu stared at the two of them, as if they had a flower on their faces. It's like a flower. "There is 80 to 90% certainty! There is no need to worry in Bingzhou. The money laws of Sili and Liangzhou have already collapsed. It is the best time to establish a new money law!" Kang Manti said, patting his chest. "Well, you guys try it out, be prepared, and be successful in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bu thought about it, and added another sentence. "The reserve of gold coins, silver coins, and five baht must be one-to-one. If a silver coin is released, one thousand five baht must be prepared! The reverse is also true to prevent a run."
