Chapter 12 Treatment (3)
The living servants of the Secretariat and the living man in the Secretariat were both officials of the responsibilities. The person who did this job was the daily commemoration of the daily commemoration. The imitation of the system of separation of the Secretariat and appointed two people at the same time, which was the system of the left and right history of ancient times. At this time, the daily commemoration of the daily commemoration was Wu Yu and Zhang Fangping. Because there must be records of the daily commemoration of the Chongzheng Hall, but there was no record of the Tianzhang Pavilion, so Zhao Zhen ordered Wu Yu to record it. In Zhao Zhen's view, what Xu Ping had today should be recorded in the history of the country.
Wu Yu was the first Jinshi in the fifth year of Xu Ping's Tiansheng. In the same year as Xu Ping, he was the provincial examination and the first-class Jinshi in the palace examination. In the second year of Mingdao, Wu Yu was once a virtuous and Fang Zheng who could speak out loudly and speak out loudly. He was the first person to be in the third-class in the Song Dynasty since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The third-class in the third-class in the Song Dynasty was more rare than the top scorer. In history, there were only four people in the third-class in the Song Dynasty. Because the first-class and second-class in the second-class in the course of the subject were only nominal, and in fact they were never awarded. If the imperial examination was regarded as an academic qualification, Wu Yu was the person with the highest education today.
Wang Zeng, a talent who had been good at the imperial examinations that Xu Ping had come into contact with, was ranked first, and did not take any tricks. He won three yuan in a row with absolute strength, crushing others. This kind of absolute strength crushing in the imperial examinations is extremely rare, but it is actually an exception. Wu Yu was ranked second, first in the imperial examinations, and then first in the imperial examinations, and then first in the imperial examinations, and then became the first in the third-class in the imperial examinations. Especially, the content and requirements of the imperial examinations of the imperial examinations were different, and it was even more difficult for ordinary people to deal with one. For example, in history, Su Shi, who also passed the third-class in the imperial examinations, had his grades in the imperial examinations, and he only won the first-class in the imperial examinations. However, the excellence of Su Shi was that he took two examinations of the imperial examinations and passed the third-class in the second, which was an unparalleled score in more than 300 years.
Not to mention Wu Yu's specific ability to govern affairs, his theoretical foundation is still there, so Zhao Zhen asked him to record the records of the daily officials, after they were recorded in the history of the country, what Xu Ping responded today may become a part of the regime's ideology. If the reform has withstood the test of practice, then this will become the orthodox ideology of the Song Dynasty and will dominate the operation of the entire regime.
Only by being clear about the principles and being consistent in ideology can the regime reduce internal friction and operate smoothly.
The king and his ministers sat and drank tea for a while, and Wu Yu hurried over and performed the ceremony as a ritual. Xu Ping, the first-class Jinshi who had been named together, had already become the prime minister of the dynasty, and Wu Yu was still just right-right and regarded his official as a censor. However, the daily life note was around the emperor every day and night, and it was a rank of advancement. Wu Yu would probably be very useful in the future. From a censor to a minister, promotion was not based on common sense, which was different from Xu Ping's promotion.
Zhao Zhen and Xu Ping asked and answered each other, said what they had just said again, and went into depth.
The daily official is not a stenographer, or write down the words he heard word by word, but write down the meaning, and the words may not be the same as what he said. Therefore, as a daily official, he requires a deep understanding of the content to be recorded, and it is not possible to do it by reading and recognizing words. Wu Yushan had no problems in his understanding of the imperial examinations, so he wrote down questions and answers to the king and his subjects one by one.
After talking about the previous content, Xu Ping stood up and stood in front of the blackboard again, pointing to the three circles of "tax", "renting interest" and "grain seeds", and said: "From the family to the country, food seeds and taxes are indispensable, and there is no big fancy. There are about a number of people in the family, food, clothing, food, and food, and food reserves for food. This is what Ouyang Xiu and others said, "Stock for three years to save food for one year is a time of natural disasters and famines. Management of government depends on the distribution of taxes and rent interest. Both are based on the income from farming, and the remaining items except for the necessary expenses for those who farm. With this leftover item, there will be a court and a country."
"A person is born in the world, gathered to serve the world, and lived in the court. I use three things to discuss survival, production and life. Survival is the necessary things to live, like one person, like one family, like one country. Life is the necessary things to live, besides the necessary things to survive, make yourself live better, such as eating delicious food, savory bamboo, etc. For one person, like one family, like one country, like one country. Production is the things to do for a better life and life in the future. For farmers and farmers, such as managing ditches, opening up wastelands, raising oxen, buying plowshares, etc. For those who do business, it is like buying shops, or working people, like buying more machines and building larger yards. For one person, like one family, like the world."
"With the remaining things, where will the remaining things be invested, how much will they be invested in, how many will they occupy, for one family, and for one country. For this dynasty, I am the one before the Three Divisions, and most of the wealth is used for survival. Because raising soldiers is to defend against the enemy, and the country is not protected, there is naturally no physiology. I am in the manager of the Three Divisions. Now that the court has entered the year, about 30% of the dynasty is used for raising soldiers, and most of the rest are invested in the construction of bridges, roads and fields. At this time, the survival of this dynasty is no longer difficult, but mainly for the future of production. The increase in salary and salary of the court officials is life. This is so divided between the world, the literati, the survival, production and life. This is a general summary, and there are naturally countless secrets, but the truth is not lost."
"I said before that although rent and interest should not be stored, they have to be stored because in life and production, the court cannot manage the people in all things for their management. He wants to open up wasteland, but the court has a method to persuade farmers, but he cannot enclose everyone in the world. If people want to open up wasteland, they can only seek loans. Some people cannot farm their fields, and some people have many children, so they can only rent land and plant more land. In this way, rent and interest exist, so they can be eliminated."
"However, rent and interest may be due to this inevitable reason. Over time, it becomes a powerful family to take the things of poor families and the art of getting nothing for nothing. At first, rent and interest take the surplus, but by rent and interest get nothing for nothing from others, the power will become stronger and stronger, and the poor family will become weaker. People are not satisfied with their desires, and rent and interest will inevitably go from taking the surplus things to the survival and production of poor people. The food from the mouths of poor people and the seeds of the land are gradually taken away, not only will they suffer now, but they will also eliminate their future life. The wine smells smelly in the wine of rich people, and the road is frozen to death, the rich are full of fields, and the poor have no place to stand. It is better to say that the power is stronger, and the disaster of rent and interest is stronger, and the poor are unable to live, and the world cannot be established, and the world will eventually be in chaos."
"To resolve this dilemma, I was stupid and only barely thought of three strategies. One is to suppress the merger, not to suppress the merger, but to suppress the family of the power to obtain the rent and interest. Why not suppress the merger? Because the merger is only the surface, not the root. If the rent and interest are not suppressed, it will not only be suppressed, but will make the rent and interest more severe. Why do you say so? The current wealth today is fundamentally based on the land and farming. Then the harm of rent and interest is most common in the countryside. How do people in the countryside see their livelihood? Don't look at what they eat, wear
What to use, because what they can get is not only the court’s taxes are collected less and the rent and interest are not much, but also the work is not hard to work hard. The two are mixed together, which can easily make people confused. It is said that rent and interest cannot cause disaster, and that the reason why poor families are poor is laziness and stupidity is natural. It is said that everything is caused by the disaster of rent and interest, and that everyone is the same, and the harm of rent and interest is caused by bad people. The ruler should know that every thing must be divided into two, and holding one end will lead to chaos."
"In addition to providing food and clothing, ordinary people have three other things. One is tax, the second is land rent, and the third is interest on borrowing. Tax is the responsibility of the court. Land rent has certain rules, but the disaster of interest is the most difficult to clear. Some say, after the taxes of the court, I will not be able to live with the interest, so I will not suffer from this disaster of interest. What if I do this? I say, I cannot!"
"If you don't borrow, he doesn't borrow, there will always be someone to borrow. The interest that is withdrawn is there, and you will eventually be peeled from all aspects of your food, clothing, housing, transportation, farming, and farming. If the grain is low and hurting farmers after a bumper harvest, the price of grain soars in the year of disaster, the price of oxen will rise every day, and if you want to buy a plow and a plow, you will not get it. The disaster of suppressing rent and interest is not only limited to the countryside loans, but also the price of flat grain, stable cattle, plow, plow, etc. But the most fundamental thing that the court can see is the land price! Because all the other prices will eventually be collected on the land. Is it cost-effective to farm and how much rent interest can you charge."
Taxation, land rent, and land price are the most important factors to examine the heavy burden of farmers. The fundamental reason is that agricultural exploitation is concentrated on land rent and interest collection. The more taxes, the greater the proportion of land rent in the harvest, and the higher the ratio of land price to output, the heavier the burden on farmers. Taxation and land rent are easier to observe. Because land prices are also affected by other factors, they are more confusing, and those who manage government must understand the land prices.
In addition to the taxation of the regime, the exploitation methods in agricultural society are mainly based on land rent and lending interest collection. Therefore, when studying the economy in the agricultural era, the exploitation method will be centered on land rent, land prices and taxes. Entering the industrial society, the exploitation method of land rent has been changed to capital to obtain the surplus value of workers without compensation, while lending interest collection has gone further and developed into a financial industry. The enthusiasm of lending interest to promote production and to overcome natural disasters and man-made disasters has become the role of the financial industry in promoting the real economy. On the other hand, their exploitation essence has not changed. If the difference between the income of the financial industry and the income of the real economy is negative, it means that it is playing the positive side of promoting the real economy. The smaller the absolute value of this negative number, the smaller the positive significance. If this difference becomes a positive number, it means that the financial industry has shown its exploitation method. The more money the financial industry makes compared to other industries, the more serious the exploitation the entire society is.
The feelings of farmers in the Song Dynasty for taxes, land rents, and land prices can be compared to the feelings of Xu Ping in his previous life for taxes and insurance, wages, rents, and housing prices. Taxes and insurance can be compared to taxes at this time. The imbalance between wages and one's own efforts can be compared to land rents at this time. Rent and housing prices are the most obvious concentrated expression of financial exploitation added to you. Of course, the exploitation of interest-related loans in the agricultural society is not only directly reflected in the lending relationship, but also indirectly in the manipulation of grain prices and means of production prices. The same is true for financial exploitation. Financial turmoil, inflation and contraction, ubiquitous insurance, rents, and housing prices are all forms taken by financial exploitation. You can stay away from finance, but you cannot escape the means of financial exploitation.
