"There is a way to make money"!
Chapter 10 of "The Biography of the University" was written: There is a great way to make money. Many people can make money, few can eat it, those who use it can get sick, and those who use it can feel comfortable. Then wealth will be enough!
It’s okay to remember the context in the scriptures.
Xu He immediately recalled the annotations for this passage in the "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books".
Lu said: "If there are no vagrants in the country, there will be many people living; if there is no lucky position in the court, then there will be few people to eat; if the farming season is not taken away, then those who work will be sick; if the people live within their means, then they will be comfortable."
No matter what you study, when it comes to the exam, it will be Zhu Shengren’s home field.
Everyone else got out of the way.
Their "Collected Annotations on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" is the special additional reading for the exam.
Everyone must answer the test paper based on Zhu Shengren's comments.
So the question is, why did Zhu Shengren quote this passage from "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"?
Because although the words of the saint may be of great significance, they are too simple.
Although Lu is not a Confucian scholar, this passage is still very convincing in explaining and enriching this passage in "The Great Learning", and it is also in line with the basic values of Confucianism.
Just like these four words: those who eat are few.
There is no subject in "The University".
In the end, who should eat less, or in other words, grab less social resources?
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" gives the answer: "If there is no lucky position in the court, there will be few people to eat!"
In the imperial court, no matter whether it is a man or a ghost, all officials are retained, and the officials who do practical work are left behind, and all the lucky ones are kicked out. Naturally, there will be fewer people occupying the country's resources, and the number of corruption cases will also be reduced.
From this point of view, it can be seen that Zhu Xi used "Lu Shi" to explain the passage of "The Great Learning". At least you have to admit that he has read a lot. He quotes from classics and perfectly fits the original text. 99.99% of the readers have this level. Can't do it.
A saint is a saint.
Although he also has the limitations of the times.
Thinking of this, Xu He already had a rough idea of how to write this article.
First of all, this passage in "The University" has a premise, which is for a country, and it is a country with land and people.
It does not solve the problem of how ordinary people can make money by setting up a stall.
Xu He wrote on the manuscript paper: "For this reason, in terms of plans and wealth, the way to satisfy the country is to focus on the basics and economize on expenditures. It is not necessary to focus on the basics but not on the inside before gathering wealth!"
In one sentence, the skeleton of the article is named.
What does that mean?
To put it bluntly, it's very simple.
First of all, Xu He reminded himself that the issue the article targeted was the country's fiscal and taxation issues, not ordinary economic issues. Secondly, if you want to make the country rich, you must focus on the basics and spend money sparingly.
What does it mean, what is it?
Capital is the foundation of a country's prosperity. In today's era of small-scale peasant economy, there is no need to say more about what capital is.
To explain, this sentence actually means increasing revenue and reducing expenditure!
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" has already given an explanation: "If you don't take away the farming season, you will suffer from diseases!"
The last sentence is that Xu He looks at a country's fiscal and tax issues from Wu Xingbang's perspective.
Cabinet ministers are all responsible for managing major political policies. The presence of two extra melons and two dates in a county is not a problem that cabinet ministers should be concerned about.
Therefore, it is not good for the rulers of the imperial court to be "externally basic and internally external" and not pay attention to fundamental issues but focus on minutiae.
After his uncle's advice, Xu He was thinking about this issue along the way.
After getting the paper and thinking clearly about how to solve the problem, the next step is just to add flesh and blood to the skeleton.
With Xu He's ability to write ten articles a day, this is all trivial.
I saw him laying out the manuscript paper and starting to write.
Haojun, who had been staring at him, was stunned at this time.
Let me go, is this young Juren master joking?
How long has it been since the test papers were distributed?
Others are still frowning at the papers.
This one is good. He didn't even have time to burn a stick of incense before he started writing after thinking about it.
Will you try it? Is it that simple?
What if it was that simple?
Why do everyone else have their brows twisted into the character "Chuan"?
Xu He didn't even notice the surprise of the trumpeter in front of him.
He buried his head and picked up the pen and wrote on the manuscript paper: "Those who are good at managing money will be self-sufficient if they follow the right path."
What's the meaning?
People who are good at managing money will naturally become rich if they find the right method.
Although the test was about a country's major political policies, Xu He started to solve the topic from an early age, which is in line with the composition skills of step by step, from shallow to deep.
The second sentence: "Building and maintaining this street is the way to make money! If you can do this, will the country be short of it?"
Finish with a rhetorical question to arouse the reader's interest.
Further discussion, strengthening construction and saving expenses are the ways to make money. If we could do this, how could the country not be rich?
Turn from the individual to the country and return to the focus of this question.
Then use the article to "tell" the examiner, "Don't take the test on Zhu Shengren's "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books". Just kidding, I'll write the answer here for you!" Aren't you curious how I make the country rich?
This is called the underhook.
Xu He played the game very well.
"If you gather people and call it wealth, a country without wealth is not a country. Managing money is called righteousness. If you have wealth without righteousness, it is not wealth."
At this point, Xu He began to add a national financial plan from another time and space to the article.
When you engage in economic construction, you must first have people who can unite the majority of the people, and then someone will pay taxes, right? Therefore, talent is the most important, and no one is a braggart.
If people are united and people pay taxes, that is a country.
If no one pays taxes, the country will not be a country.
To put it bluntly, the method of managing money is just one word - [righteousness]. If wealth is obtained through immoral methods, is it still called wealth?
Even though it was taken advantageously and plundered, even if it was put into the treasury of the officials, one day someone might break into Beijing and the money would be returned.
Therefore, managing money is called righteousness, and wealth without righteousness is not wealth.
Omit the following...one hundred words.
Xu He started writing about how to make money.
"Sincerity can drive all the people in the world to return to farming, and they can buy property in a prosperous manner without leaving any profit. At the same time, they can eliminate redundant personnel and cut redundant expenses so that there is no free food. They can devote three hours of hard work to farming. This is what they do. , since there is nothing left to spare, and we should measure everyone’s expenses and not use them extravagantly!”
If all the people in the world can be allowed to engage in agricultural production, then nothing produced by the world will be used, and redundant personnel will be eliminated, unnecessary expenses will be saved, and people who do not work will not be allowed to receive salaries.
If we work hard during three farming seasons, there will be no idle labor force.
In addition, you must plan your expenditures according to your income and avoid extravagant and wasteful spending.
What is Huanghuang's words? Well, this is it.
Xu He once watched a film in later generations, in which the pig's foot was also a time traveler. During the examination, he talked about political reform, the development of high technology, and the replacement of the small peasant economy with the collective economy. Then the boss was shocked and immediately gave the top pick.
From then on, he reached the pinnacle of his life, led a group of indigenous people to slaughter beauties and destroy the sun, regained power in the world, and fell drunk on the knees of beauties...
hehe!
Don’t talk, just smile!
