Chapter 814 This is a huge project

In addition to killing people in Yingtian, Liu Chun also sorted out his previous books and further wrote his views on governing the country... Until now, no one dared to underestimate Liu Chun's words and deeds, because he is not only a powerful minister but also a favorite minister, but also a full evil star. If you do something against him, you will lose your head!

This is not a joke, but a real reality. Thousands of headless corpses are placed there, warning everyone who despises Liu Chun.

So when Liu Chun's books were published, it set off a craze. At least for officials, everyone needs to buy one. Not only do they have to buy it, but they also have to understand it thoroughly.

I don’t know what the tutor is thinking, but I will die miserably!

When people opened Liu Chun's new book, everyone was refreshed and even enlightened... The name of the Taifu is indeed well-deserved!

At the beginning, Liu Chun made a strong criticism of the proposition of governing inaction that was prevalent in Jiangnan.

In the past, newspapers often advocated that the court should not interfere in business matters and should not affect business operations too much... business should be left to businessmen to be responsible.

Their reasons are also very powerful, and no one will joke about their own money. If a businessman wants to make money and be credible, he must make the most in line with the long-term interests... This decision will obviously be more reasonable and scientific than the design of the court!

Obviously, some people have learned how to use Liu Chun.

However, such things that are obviously logically wrong cannot stand scrutiny.

Liu Chun made it clear that the competition between businessmen is not all reasonable and legal. On the contrary, if there are too many competitive means, it is impossible to get the market and should not be done.

Competition is like this, and wealth is also a complex concept. You cannot simply think that making more money means increasing wealth.

The simplest example is, if a group of people enter a casino and someone wins the big shot, and his pockets are filled with silver, does it mean that wealth has increased?

Obviously not, gambling is just a transfer of wealth... If you insist on talking, wealth has decreased - a large group of strong laborers who do not move bricks and work, but move mahjong is not a loss of social wealth.

From this point of view, there is also a difference between wealth transfer and wealth creation in economic activities.

Take what happened in Huai'an as an example... a group of merchants learned the news in advance, hoarded land and raised prices in exchange for more land acquisition compensation, making millions.

For them, it is indeed making money.

But what about the Ming Dynasty?

Not only did it not increase wealth, it also caused wealth loss and affected normal construction.

When a group pursues maximization of its own interests, it will inevitably harm other interest groups.

The mission of the court is to coordinate interests among various interest groups, seek fairness and order, guide the entire society, create more wealth, and distribute wealth reasonably.

Liu Chun also proposed something very important and realistic... The competition among merchants is not fair competition, just like those early salt merchants.

Once they have obtained the franchise and owned the "bacco" of operating salt, they will not share it at all, but will treat it as a family heirloom, leave it for future generations, and will always be regarded as a treasure pot.

As for the others, if they don’t even have the qualifications to enter, how can they compete?

The court also has a mission, which is to establish a foundation of fair competition... This means that some industries must be in the hands of the court. If there is no such premise, businessmen who control some advantageous resources can squeeze other opponents and force the other party to submit.

Therefore, without the intervention of the court, what is presented in the market is not competition at all, but the prey of the weak...

"Wang Xing, this is the recent work of the Taifu. Many officials in Jiangnan are studying it, and have already submitted it to Your Majesty. According to the meaning, Your Majesty will also issue an order to publish it all over the world. What do you think of the Taifu's Wheel?"

Faced with Jin Youzi's questioning, Wang Xing's old face turned red. He had been looking at it all night, and his eyes were congested.

Liu Chun's books are not complicated, and the principles are very straightforward and simple, but this kind of straightforward thing can often point directly to the core.

Compared to the naive whispers of literati, this is closer to the truth.

Thinking about my previous statement, Liu Chun repents... This is simply an excellent irony. He is already at a height that he is difficult to reach and is thinking about how to govern the country. Compared with Taifu Liu, he may be the one who should repent.

"I, maybe I'm wrong... But, can Master Liu write the same thing as what he wrote in his book? So how can he prove that he is not empty talk?"

Wang Xing argued loudly, his old face turned red.

Jin Youzi sneered: "Wang Xing, you are not only shallow, but also stubborn... I didn't have time to pay attention to you, but in order to give up, I will let you see how the court handles these affairs so that you can open your eyes!"

Wang Xing followed Lan Yu in his early years. As a literati in the army, he was still very good at coordinating military equipment, food and food for soldiers.

As for how great the yamen is, he knows it very well.

Wang Xing firmly believed that letting the yamen handle these things would only bring about terrible greed, which was ten thousand times worse than what Liu Chun said. If these people caused trouble, the entire economy would only be worse, and merchants and people would suffer.

If you don’t believe it, let’s just watch it!

Sure enough, Wang Xing came to Yingtian Prefecture and was able to observe the operation of the court himself.

When he entered the yamen, his biggest feeling was that there were many people!

It was dense and filled with people everywhere... and these people were not yamen runners, but mostly small officials of the eighth rank and ninth rank. They were busy everywhere, coming and going.

The following situation should be presented, and the above commands should be issued.

I am so busy that I am like a gyro. If I look carefully, I will find that there is a strong order in the midst of my busyness.

The first thing these officials have to do is to figure out the local situation and truly understand what is going on under their rule.

How many household registrations are there and how many people are there? This is the most basic thing... But this is why many yamen were unable to make any decisions in the past. How could they expect them to manage a good place?

But now it’s different. Dingkou is the most basic common sense. If you can’t figure it out, you can get out of here... In addition to Dingkou, you also need to figure out how many roads there are, how the roads are, how many wells there are, and how the people’s drinking water are... You need to know the difference between the rich and the poor, how many dangerous houses are there, how much garbage will be generated every day, and how these wastes are disposed of...

When various data are gathered together, there is a detailed concept about Yingtian's situation.

With these in addition to them, what will develop will lead to insights.

What Zhu Gaosui mentioned to the merchants can become reality.

For example, if the traffic conditions in a certain place are very poor, and a businessman proposes to build a bridge, the local government agrees, and is willing to endorse the letter, he can get a preferential loan from the court.

If something goes wrong in the middle, from local government offices to businessmen will be held accountable.

Moreover, with the construction of these projects, a large amount of raw materials will definitely be needed. At this time, merchants can also obtain assistance loans from the court according to their own wishes.

After accepting the loan from the imperial court, special personnel will hand over the loan to the merchant in batches based on the implementation of the project.

In other words, it is still very difficult for someone to cheat on a loan.

In addition to facing investigation, there is also the fact that we cannot get the full payment... This will reduce the scale of the loss.

As for the same sentence, no way can avoid disadvantages.

The regulations formulated by Liu Chun still have loopholes and are still very rough... but they do not prevent them from playing a good role, because Liu Chun is really facing these problems and trying every means to solve them, rather than being a hand-off manager as some people think, and also called "ruling without doing anything"!

When this practice was implemented, the entire Yingtian's appearance began to change rapidly... The garbage that was originally densely packed with cities was cleaned up and transported to a special place to be buried.

The roads and bridges that have been disrepaired have been rebuilt.

The mud land was replaced with sand and gravel, and the stone-slab bridge deck was changed to cement... What surprised the people was that the court added 100 water intake points to Yingtian in one breath. Moreover, 90% of them were placed in areas where poor people were concentrated.

Starting from the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, this is the proposal that Liu Chun put forward after he was promoted to the Taifu. This time he came to Yingtian and implemented it more vigorously.

Not only did Wang Xing not find too many disadvantages, but he also sadly discovered that the people were really "forgetful"!

After only a few months of work, I seemed to have forgotten what Liu Chun had done.

He killed so many wealthy businessmen, as well as great scholars, and many academies were sealed and closed by him... Jiangnan's gentle energy was destroyed by him.

Wang Xing felt that it would take at least 10 or 20 years to gradually forget it... Liu Chun might even become a white-faced traitor, put it on the stage and be remembered by the people forever.

Even if it is not good, it will take ten or eight years to dilute the blood.

But who knows that it was not even used for eight months, and there were voices praising the Taifu everywhere... Wang Xing suddenly realized a possibility, should the person who was killed really be killed?

Even if you shouldn't kill it, it's at least useless.

Otherwise, why did you kill so many people and not become bad at all? Instead, you are thriving?

Then would he be a useless person? If Wang Xing died, he would be like this and would be forgotten soon?

When Wang Xing thought of this, he became completely frightened and became restless. At the age of time, he had to do something, at least do good things, otherwise his life would be in vain!

He went to look at various construction projects launched by Yingtian.

Among them, the number one is a project that no one dares to touch.

This project is not complicated, it is to build a track from Yingtian to Suzhou... The rail carriage is temporarily passed through, and when the time permits, it will be upgraded to a train. In addition, it will also extend to Songjiang Prefecture to connect the most important parts of Jiangnan together.
