Yang Shiqi was a little injured internally, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir Yang, since you can memorize it, it can be seen that you should have a deep understanding of this book. I wonder what you think?"

Yang Pu sighed slightly, ashamed and depressed, "As soon as this book is released, there will be no books in the world! The previous servants are arrogant and just humiliated themselves!"

...

Yang Pu was completely convinced. He just wanted to meet Liu Chun as soon as possible, or ask for a lecture, or explain the misunderstanding. In short, he was convinced.

There are many people who have the same view as Yang Pu, including Daoyan, Ru Yan and others.

These ministers gathered in Liu Chun's study room, and each of them had a smile on their faces. Looking at Liu Chun's eyes, there was a hint of awe.

The first person to speak was Ru Yi.

He pressed the book in his hand and sighed: "Since the time of the late emperor, Lord Liu advocated reform. At that time, many people knew that reforms benefited the country and the people, but in the end, people would inevitably die. Over the years, there have been many people calling for reforms, but few people can succeed!"

"I don't say anything else. The reform has affected the interests of too many people. They will inevitably counterattack. Once the emperor does not support it, the wind will change, the reform will fail. The Qingli New Policy and Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty were all this. In the past, I was also worried. Not long ago, His Majesty decided to completely equalize the land and move to the gentry. I felt a little at ease."

"Now I feel completely relieved to see Lord Liu's works. With this book here, it's like a final conclusion to the gentleman!"

Yang Jing followed, "Yes, if the gentry does not pay food or serve, the tenants they master will be divided from the entire country. The more gentry masters, the less the court will master. This is what Lord Liu said, the decline in organizational leadership is...incisive, too insightful!"

These ministers followed Liu Chun to reform the law, but in fact they were more or less worried. Even if the emperor stood on the side of the reform faction, it would be useless.

As long as the Confucian scholar group is still there, as long as the Confucius and Mencius Taoism is still there.

Sooner or later, someone will fight back.

After all, not everyone can take the world as their responsibility. Once a foolish monarch appears and a villain appears, the reform will be ruined.

But since the appearance of Liu Chun's book, the situation has changed.

Liu Chun found the most fundamental reason for the reform and had a theory as the basis.

In this way, the reformists can use this theory as a weapon to fight conservative forces.

In the past, conservative forces relied on the way of Confucius and Mencius, so they looked for some words that would benefit them in the Four Books and Five Classics, or made some interpretations that would benefit them, and then counterattacked in the name of sages and ancestors.

In fact, what Confucius said is no longer important. Confucianism is like a ship that has sailed in the ocean for too long. No matter how clean and tidy it was when it first set off, there are countless oyster scallops attached to the bottom of the ship at this moment, and there are too many dross.

However, all ancient classics have one problem, that is, they lack rigorous logic, and often have different opinions and cannot argue about right or wrong.

Liu Chun is a higher education and he attaches great importance to the rigor of logic.

Starting from the strength of the country, he was almost impeccable after the whole set of statements. As long as someone with a normal mind is reading this book, he will agree that the reform makes sense.

No matter whether you support it or not, no one can easily slander the reform.

This is so critical!

For Ru Wei, Yang Jing and others, they are not young anymore, so it is time to consider the reputation behind them. With this book, there is no need to worry anymore.

"The reform will win!"

Several people felt relieved and were extremely happy.

The old thief, Bald Daoyan, is different from them, and Daoyan attaches more importance to the second half of what Liu Chun wrote.

"Mr. Liu, as mentioned earlier, I have learned from all generations as a reference. Anyone who has read poetry and books will understand it, but I am afraid that many people may not be able to understand what you write next?"

Liu Chun smiled, "Master Daoyan is really unique. I mentioned division of labor and personal skills... In fact, there is a problem, that is, the long-term agricultural society makes us regard many stage-by-stage things as historical necessities and then as a cycle of laws of nature. This is wrong!"

"For example, governance, chaos, rise and fall, in my opinion, is the process of agricultural society from development to collapse again and again. Confucians of all generations have thought that the world's wealth is certain, and this view is correct at a certain period. However, once this period is gone, it becomes wrong."

"In the pre-Qin era, bronze ware was still the main one. It was only when iron ware appeared that the model of men farming and women weaving was promoted to the world. Therefore, the rule of the Three Dynasties was not as described by Confucians. In comparison, it was a backward era, at least technically, seriously backward..."

Liu Chun kept explaining, so to speak, every word he said brought a strong shock, completely subverting the three views of several people.

But with this book at the bottom, they don’t feel that subversive. Instead, it’s natural, as if it should be like this.

"We are now entering a stage of technological upgrading." Liu Chun smiled and said: "In Peking, many new workshops have appeared. After the birth of banks, credit capital has appeared. Overseas merchants have poured in to let us know that there is a broad market overseas. These new things, new knowledge, and proper use, can prompt us to enter a new field. Just like from bronze to iron, there will be earth-shaking changes. I dare to predict that this day will not be too far away, and will appear within the next 10 or 20 years."

Everyone took a deep breath and kept digesting what Liu Chun said.

Daoyan was the first to wake up. He said worriedly: "Mr. Liu, I am impressed by what you said. I am convinced. But these words may not be suitable for preaching to everyone in public. I am afraid that those who are interested will be used!"

Ru Wei nodded, "Yes, Mr. Yao said very well. Now I am afraid that some sluts will use the views in the book to deceive people. That will be difficult."

Yang Jing also said, "Mr. Liu, you mentioned the rise and fall, the governance and chaos, the change of dynasties, and there are many concepts that subvert traditional ideas. We can understand your intentions, but some ordinary people may not understand it!"

Liu Chun had already expected the worries of several people.

As an important official of the court and the main figure involved in decision-making, Liu Chun had no need to hide anything from them. What should he do, it would be like.

Indeed, some of his statements will cause controversy and may even be used by others to make a fuss.

After all, too many subversions will scare people!

"Your reminder is reasonable, I am also prepared here. Please take a look at this."

Liu Chun took out another manuscript, and the name of this book was much simpler, with only three words "Theory of Wealth of Nations".

After they opened it, they found that Liu Chun had almost deleted the previous half, and no longer talked about national strength, leadership, land, people... and only talked about one issue, that is division of labor!

Division of labor can bring about efficiency improvement, and efficiency is the lifeblood of workshops and factories. Producing more products at the same time means creating more wealth. In competition, you can gain advantages and thus get rich returns.

As important as division of labor, technology is technology. New technology technology is also the key to winning in competition... As an employer, you cannot just focus on squeezing workers. You must learn to allocate your work reasonably and conduct precise and meticulous management. At the same time, you encourage workers to learn and improve their technical level.

The deleted theory of Wealth of Nations is much more popular than the previous version. Liu Chun also gave an example of Daning Iron and Steel Plant to explain it, making the new theory of Wealth of Nations easier to understand.

After reading it, several people laughed, "Mr. Liu is really quick-witted. The previous version was mainly used by court officials, but this version can spread the world and let everyone study it together. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

They were discussing, and suddenly someone rushed in through the back door.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, each of them, held one of them, and lifted Zhu Gaosui to Liu Chun's study like a chicken. They brought together three books.

"Master, this third brother is really helpless!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed, "Look at him, what is he doing? He stole your manuscript and sold it!"

"Sold?" Liu Chun said in surprise: "Take it serious?"

"There are still fakes, there are 200 books in total, and only these three books are left!"

Liu Chun frowned, "Third Prince, are you so short of money? Just a few hundred books! Is it worth selling?"

Zhu Gaosui broke free from the shackles of his two brothers and defended him: "Master, I am making a name for my master. I don't want to make money! I dare to swear to God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi slapped him.

"Master, don't listen to the nonsense of the old man. He sold 1,000 taels of a book! These 200 books alone will be almost 200,000 taels! This kid made a fortune!"

Zhu Gaochi was indeed as careful as his own. When he learned that the third brother sold books, he secretly sent someone to find out the situation. When he learned that he sold 1,000 taels per book, Zhu Gaochi was so angry.

This third brother earns everything, and he is simply jealous of money.

Zhu Gaoxu became even more angry, "Master writes books, it's so hard. Is it possible for you to sell them to money? Stop saying anything, you kid quickly hand over the money!"

"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi said viciously: "Twenty-hundred thousand taels are not a small amount. It is best to return the money back. Otherwise, when the master's book continues to be published, people will hold a grudge against Master if they buy it more expensively."

Zhu Gaoxu was holding a fist as big as a sandbag and was about to beat the third brother.

"If you make money and make your master accustomed, what are you?"

After hearing the words of the three brothers, Liu Chun whispered: "You don't have to worry about buying expensive things, because this version only has five hundred books. The next one is this one!"

Liu Chun handed the deleted version to the three brothers... The three of them took it and looked carefully, all of them were stunned, "Master, is this much different from your original version?"

Liu Chun said: "Come step by step! Some views cannot be thrown out at once, so start with the economy first!"

The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief together, and Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "So, these five hundred books are lonely versions, and they sell for one thousand taels, which doesn't seem to be expensive!"

Zhu Gaochi also realized, "Yes, this is the master's hard work. If you take advantage of it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to your master?"

They both muttered, and Zhu Gaosui suddenly shouted strangely: "Wait, according to what you said, wouldn't it be a cheaper one?"

The two brothers raised their fists at the same time.

"You stinky brother, let's see if we won't beat you to death!"

Zhu Gaosui was almost crying, "Wait!" He hurriedly rushed to the table, "This, aren't there three more... books, what about the books?" He didn't think so, did he disappear?

"Who, who took it?"

Zhu Gaosui shouted at the sky and the earth, and wailed loudly. Daoyan's old thief was holding three books at this moment, getting on the carriage, and immediately ordered, "Go away, go away!"

He wants to keep it well, and he won’t sell it if there is no ten thousand taels in the future!
Chapter completed!
