Chapter 183

As the end of the year approaches, the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The fastest updated population of Luoyang in Xijing is far less dense than that in Tokyo, nor is it as lively as there. However, although this year, it has not suffered a major disaster. The people have more money than in previous years, so naturally it is much more lively than in previous years. The crowds on the streets are constantly flowing, and various vendors are selling along the streets. From time to time, a few "night-killing beards" appear, which makes the onlookers burst into laughter. Those who are begged to the door are not as stingy as in previous years. There are always a few copper coins thrown out.

In the Transshipment Office, Yan Shu looked at the drafts written by Xu Ping, Li Wei and Wang Gongchen with great enthusiasm, and made a few comments from time to time. Yan Shu was not very clear about the specific economic operation, and he did not use his brain in that direction, but he was the leader of the literary world and the master of time at that time. He changed the words and sentences to make the article more imposing. Yan Shu was still good at it.

The study room is written with the general title, and Wang Yaochen, Yang Gao, Zhao and others in the chief office outside made separate titles. According to Xu Ping's idea, starting from simple production in ancient times, then to division of labor, to commodity exchange, then talking about the nature of goods, and then talking about the nature of wealth, and talking about the generation of wealth. Then we will talk about commodity production and exchange, money, the invention and improvement of labor tools, the improvement of labor efficiency, and all aspects of the commodity economy. Under the conditions of commodity economy, wealth growth is natural, and the increase in wealth controlled by the state will not only not invade the people's property, but also make the private property also rise. This is extremely important, allowing the new theory to escape from the distinction between justice and profit.

When everyone has completed the first draft, they will concentrate on extensive discussions. They will also seek opinions from other officials of this route and finally form a final draft. If the political environment is appropriate, Yan Shu will be taken to the capital and presented it to the court as the official of Jingxi Road to the answer of Lu Yijian to deal with Jingxi Road flight tickets, he will firmly disagree.

This is not a dispute over intention, but a big question of whether a new route can survive and whether it can continue. In this kind of big trouble, Xu Ping has no way out and must fight to the end.

Let’s start with the ancients. It was not only a habit of writing articles by the ancient Chinese, but also a habit of Xu Ping’s textbooks in his previous life, and it was the easiest to be accepted by others. However, when the ancients wrote books, they often drew examples from the ancients and came to the conclusion that the big heads behind them were missing.

After a few sentences being revised, Yan Shu was still unsatisfied and said to Xu Ping on the side: "Xu Longtu, has this article been named?"

Xu Ping said: "When we were talking together, Li Wei mentioned a name called "The Book of Wealth and the People". This book talks about the prosperity of the country and the people, which is very relevant to the topic. We all think it is good."

"A country is rich and the people are safe, and a country is rich and the people are safe." Yan Shu nodded repeatedly and savored it for a long time. "No, no, your book has been made. If you can combine the governance of the West Road this year with this outline, it will be really a good strategy for governing the world, which can be passed down to future generations. By the way, this book will be given to the court in the future, which is considered a strategy for governing the country. It is better to call it "Plan for enriching the country and safening the people."

"What the bachelor said is very much, then it is called "Rich the Country and Safeguard the People's Strength"!"

In history, Li Wei once had three strategies of "Rich Country", "Strengthen Soldiers" and "Safeguarding the People". This time, he did not involve military affairs, so he combined the other two strategies as the name of the book. After all, Li Wei took the preaching of the great way of the ancestors as his aspiration, and these three points have been buried in his heart. No matter what form it is, it will eventually be displayed.

Unifying the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people is no longer regarded as mutual opposition, but is a major contribution of Li Lu to academically. Later, the countless troubles in fiscal policy in the Song Dynasty, including Wang Anshi's reform, were mostly related to his argument. It was precisely because of the unification of prosperity of the country and the people that the shackles of competing for profit with the people and no longer allowed financial officials to dance in shackles.

Of course, the current "Strategy for Rich and Safe in the Country" far exceeds the limitations of Li Wei in history. It truly explains the laws of commodity economy clearly and completely escapes from the previous arguments of natural economy. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the economic foundation of commodity economy naturally produces new ideas, and conflicts with old theories are inevitable.

Yan Shu may not understand the principles of economic operation mentioned in the book, but he can see that he can make up for himself. For him now, this is enough. With the political achievements of Jingxi Road as the foundation and the theory that can make up for him, it makes sense to oppose Lu Yijian. Of course, what really determines his attitude is the struggle to support Lu against Lu.

The public officials came to tea and drank the tea. Yan Shu said to Xu Ping: "In the past, it was said that there was a certain amount of wealth in the world. If it was not in the official position, it was in the people. All the financial management officials who could increase their income for the court would be rude and accumulating. For example, Sang Hongyang, Emperor Wu of Han, and the fifth Qi of Emperor Daizong of Tang, one helped the hero to show his power outside the territory and the other helped the court to quell the rebellion. It was of great significance, but it was not a big deal."

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "In fact, it is not entirely true. Guan Zhong of Qi used his financial management skills to help Duke Huan dominate the world and became famous and famous."

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment before smiling and said, "This is true. If the country can be said to be cost-effective, the Qin emperor first recommended Prime Minister Zhuge of Shu Han. The emperor believed it and the people respected it. No one in the world knew it!"

It is too unlucky to talk about Sang Hongyang and Di Wuqi. The final outcomes of both of them were not very good, especially Sang Hongyang, who was even in a different place, and both of them were destroyed. Of course, this kind of thing would not happen in the Song Dynasty, but he was not good at his will and could always avoid it. Xu Ping's financial management methods were fundamentally different from these two people. They did not change their economic foundation, and they were really financial management. Xu Ping completely changed the economic foundation, which had exceeded the scope of financial management. Once it was successfully implemented, it would form a torrent of history, and no one could reverse the vast trend. Once the natural economy was destroyed by the commodity economy, there would be no chance of re-establishing it. This is what Xu Ping relied on.

After drinking a few sips of tea, eased the awkward atmosphere, Xu Ping said: "Actually, I am very cautious when talking about gathering and competing for profit with the people. Over the past year, it is good for the government to increase money and grain in the hands of the government. What I care more about is whether the people have more money than before, whether they have no worries about food and drink, and whether their lives are better than before. If a bachelor has free time, he can go to the people on Jingxi Road to take advantage of the situation. It is not that I boast that the people on Jingxi Road have lived much better this year than in previous years! Of course, those who do not believe in the government and have to take advantage of loopholes, but end up being taken by others. What I am talking about is the benefit of those branch officials who are causing trouble. When will tax evasion be counted as the people should benefit!"

Yan Shu laughed and said, "I have been walking around the city these days in Xijing. This year, Henan Prefecture has a severe drought. Everyone said that if it is the same as usual, I don't know how many people will starve to death and how many people will be displaced. But this year it has no impact. Not only did the people under the rule not starve to death and flee, but they also had more money than in previous years. This alone depends on your outstanding political achievements!"

"I should have done my best to make the people under my ruler have enough food and clothing."

"A country is prosperous and the people are safe, and not a country is prosperous and must be harsh and accumulating. Xu Ping, if you do this, and explain the truth clearly and explain the steps of doing things clearly, it is enough to keep it in history!"

Xu Ping is still young and his desire to keep his name in history is not so strong, but Yan Shu's words still stirred up his heart. What is a real man who is alive, so what is a high-ranking official and generous salary? How many people can leave their names in history!

"The Strategy for Rich the Country and Safeguarding the People", Li Wei does name it, concisely and to the point, and the four words summarize the most important content of the entire policy. Foreign works that caused the commodity economy revolution in their previous lives were translated into "The Wealth of Nations", which is far less good than those of Li Wei. What does a country have to do with the people? If you don't explain this issue clearly, you will have to face endless responsibilities. For financial management officials in Chinese history, competing for profit with the people is a curse. In addition, the distinction between justice and profit, and the country's use is not lacking, you must be labeled as a person who is mean to the people regardless of the people's livelihood. If you don't break this curse, the better you are in the fire pit, the more you are.

Xu Ping did not expect to be praised by the people. The people's emotions were affected by too many factors, and they could not be recognized immediately after doing good things. When he left Yongzhou, local people saw him off for dozens of miles of rainy nights, which was beyond his expectations. He did not dare to imagine that he would receive such treatment again. The most important thing is to be at ease.

Just when Xu Ping and Yan Shu were having a good chat, Yang Gao hurried in from outside, secretly looked at Yan Shu, saw the li, and whispered to Xu Ping: "Du Cao, there is a report in the capital."

Xu Ping did not pay attention to Yang Gao's expression. The court reports that entered the Zuoyuan were posted every five days. Luoyang was so close that it would arrive on the third day at most, and the most urgent time would arrive on the second day. Everyone had already become accustomed to it.

He took the imperial newspaper from Yang Gui, and Xu Ping asked casually: "Deputy Envoy Yang, is there any major event in the capital recently?"

Yang Qiao looked bad and said in a deep voice: "Du Zhongcheng stepped down and changed to Zhi Yongxing Army."

"What?" Xu Ping was shocked and clenched the preaching newspaper. "Who will take over the censorship?"

"Justice Zhang, a bachelor's academy. Mr. Cheng, who was formerly academy of Kaifeng Prefecture, was re-entered to the Bachelor's Academic Academy and took over as Jay Nehan."

When Yan Shu, who was already in high spirits, immediately changed his face and turned pale.

Lu Yijian endured it for nearly a month and finally fought back. Although Du Yan was neutral on the surface and neither faction intervened, the position of the Censorate was actually on the contrary, and he had almost never stopped the memorials of impeachment of Lu Yijian's faction. In the struggle against the Party, the censors were the key points and directly determined the direction of public opinion. The Censorate led by Gao Ruonai and Yao Zhongsun was truly neutral, and the Censorate seemed particularly important. Lu Yijian could no longer tolerate it being out of his control.
