Taiping Taoist is busy pursuing his ideals, and he is obviously happy and happy at this moment.
Every day from now on, he would go to the camp where the savages were. He would personally check the savages' pulses, personally prescribe the savages' medicine, prepare and prepare the medicine, and finally teach them step by step how to make the medicine.
The most important thing is that Taiping Taoist is a true idealist. He does not stand directly above others just because of his high cultivation. He feels that he is not the same kind of person as the savages.
On the contrary, even if they are only one step away from becoming a real person, Taiping Taoists still adhere to their own ideas and never forget their original aspirations.
Perhaps, it is this kind of persistence that does not forget the original intention that makes him what he is today.
A few days later, Jiang Hua came to Li County at the invitation of Wang Jujun.
The rites of Li County refer to Zhou rites.
Somewhere in the wild in Li Town, Li County, Wang Jujun sat on the ground with a small table in front of him. He personally made tea and invited Jiang Hua to come and taste the tea.
When Jiang Hua sat down, Wang Jujun poured the tea slowly. The water was a spiritual spring, and the tea leaves were also spiritual tea. As soon as the brewing started, the faint fragrance of tea overflowed in all directions.
After Jiang Hua took a quiet sip, Wang Jujun slowly put down the teacup in his hand and started today's chat.
"Prefect, I have read the first issue of A Hundred Schools of Thought. This book is indeed beyond my imagination."
"I originally thought that the prefect was also a hero. It was my fault. My vision was restricted. Here's to you."
With that said, Wang Jujun poured Jiang Hua another cup of tea.
"In this first issue, Taiping Taoist friends talked about their own ideas. Although I don't agree with many of the ideas, I can also feel the Taiping Taoist's great ideal of bringing peace from between the lines, and I can also feel his persistence. Although the Taoism is different We don’t agree with each other, but I am willing to express my admiration for Taoists like Taoist fellow Taoist monks Taiping.”
Having said this, Wang Jujun poured himself a cup of tea, toasted to Taiping County next door, and drank it all in one gulp.
“I invited you here today because I want to tell you more about my personal philosophy of governance. I also hope that with the help of the journal Hundred Schools of Thought, I can spread my ideas widely. I also hope to see the opinions of other fellow Taoists. "
Jiang Hua took a sip of the tea in front of him, blowing the wind and basking in the not-so-strong sun. He was in a good mood: "Of course, you are the second one to arrive, so after all, I will have the next conversation with you, fellow Taoist." , I will record it word for word in the second issue of A Hundred Schools of Thought."
"At that time, there will also be many contributions from fellow Taoists that will be published in the second issue."
Having said this, Jiang Hua thought for a moment: "But there is a fact that must be told to friends in advance."
"Oh? I wonder?"
"It's like this. After the first issue of A Hundred Schools of Thought was released, there were a lot of letters."
"It's only the seventh day, and there are already thousands of letters. The farthest of these letters come from the land of Bashu, and the nearest come from Yancheng itself."
"Many of these thousands of letters are signed by real names, and many are even letters from real people and the first generation monarch."
Jiang Hua did not expect that the first generation monarch would write to the journal "Hundred Schools of Thoughts" so quickly.
"Some of the letters are quite violent and the content is a bit unbearable."
They were all greeting the whole family, or even three generations of ancestors. The quality was really not that good!
"Some senior experts even clearly expressed their opposition."
"There are many people who have also made severe criticisms."
“There are a lot of objections and not many in favor.”
"Moreover, some of these letters will be published directly in the next issue of A Hundred Schools of Thought, for the world to comment on."
"So, once a fellow Taoist publicly expresses his or her ideas, he may not be greeted with approval and praise but with doubts and provocations."
Hearing this, Wang Jujun laughed and didn't take it seriously: "This is normal. When I was in Qufu Academy, many people thought that I was too old-fashioned, that I was too conservative, that my mind was full of Zhou etiquette, and that I was pedantic. Unbearable."
"So, I had expected to be laughed at by everyone in the world."
"Their ridicule and questioning only made me more determined in my choice."
Jiang Hua nodded slightly. Anyway, he had explained the consequences clearly to Wang Jujun in advance. No matter what happened by then, it would have nothing to do with him.
But Jiang Hua felt that there would be quite a few people asking Wang Jujun and Taiping Taoist Xiaoshulin for a fight. Does this wave count as an offline solo kill?
"My governing philosophy can be summarized in a few words: king's land, abolition of slavery, equalization of officials, credit, and official mountains and seas."
Listening to these five words, Jiang Hua was inspired. He straightened his back, straightened his clothes symbolically, and listened carefully to Wang Jujun's story.
"Wang Tian, in essence, means that all land belongs to the monarch. All land belongs to the monarch."
"The monarch will grant a certain amount of land to the common people, countrymen, scholars, officials, and ministers."
"Essentially, these lands are still owned by the monarch. Common people, countrymen... and others only have the right to use these lands, so they have no right to buy or sell the land. Even if they buy or sell the land, it is invalid and will be directly voided with an order."
"In my opinion, most of the corruption in the world starts with the buying and selling of land."
"Most common people became savages because they started buying and selling land."
"If the common people never bought or sold land and never lost the land they depend on for survival, then the common people would not go bankrupt or become savages."
Granting land to the common people was something that was done by all dynasties in previous lives.
At that time, whenever a country was founded, the population dropped drastically, a large number of people died in wars, a large number of people were annexed by powerful and aristocratic families, and the population on the books was often very small.
At this time, monarchs would grant land to the people in order to snatch the population away from aristocratic families and powerful people. If a common person is granted fifty or one hundred acres of land, in a sense, this can be regarded as equalizing the land, but it is uncultivated wasteland.
In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, various princes, ministers, ministers, and officials will allocate land when they open up wasteland. Basically, they will divide it according to the head of the people, and they will receive a certain amount of land.
Therefore, although Wang Jujun's Wangtian system is a bit exaggerated, the concept is not an exaggeration. Someone has proposed a similar concept long ago. Wang Jujun was not the first to propose this idea, but he was obviously probably the first to practice it in the past hundreds of thousands of years.
Just for this, Jiang Hua has to give him a thumbs up.
Why?
This is traffic!
This is the hot spot!
That's the topic!
Too many people have discussed the ideas related to the Wangtian system over the past hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, there must be many people who are concerned about the success of Wang Jujun's reform, and the related disputes are also huge!
With these controversies, there will definitely be a fierce quarrel on Baijia contending, and the sales volume will naturally open up.
Even nobles will purchase and study carefully.
Over time, the ideas spread to the nobles.
Although the simple spread of ideas cannot change the old aristocracy, it can at least inspire more common people and make more common people raise their heads and see the world.
"What about abolition of slavery?" Jiang Hua asked directly.
"Abolition of slavery means the abolition of the slavery system. Today, everyone in the world is descended from the two emperors of Yan and Huang. Our ancestors were one family many years ago."
"But over the years, many people have directly used the savages as training materials for the insignificant trace of the Emperor's true blood contained in the savages, killing and capturing the savages at will. There is no humanity at all."
Jiang Hua gave Wang Jujun a thumbs up: Jackal!
Abolition of slavery is against the nobles of the world!
In any case, the True Blood of the Heavenly Emperor is really full of temptation.
Killing people at will will lead to overthrow by angry people.
At this time, the only option was to kill the savages at will.
After all, they are just a group of savages who do not learn Zhou rites and whose political status is equal to that of Yi Di. No matter how they concoct it, it is considered politically correct.
"The abolition of slavery at the end of the former dynasty did not end well, and slavery has a long history in the Zhou Dynasty. Mr. Jujun, if you do this, even the Zhou Li lineage will probably oppose you. The idea is Ideas, interests are interests, if you want to make people put down the benefits with empty talk..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua shook his head slightly.
Wang Jujun immediately smiled: "That's why I will practice my ideals in Li County. I can't change the thoughts of those old nobles, and I can't make them give up the slavery system simply through words. I can only do it in Li County." We should practice our ideals in a blank place like the county.”
"No matter what, slaves should not and cannot exist in Li County!"
"As for the slave trade, it is strictly prohibited and will never be recognized."
"No matter what the outcome is, fellow Taoist's idea is admirable." Jiang Hua said lightly.
"As for Junguan, he is mainly responsible for counting the prices of each item in each place. After counting the monthly prices, he will find the average price of various goods."
"At the same time, large-scale warehouses are being established across the country."
“When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place is significantly higher than the average price, the officials will open the warehouse, take out the already reserved commodity, sell it, and bring the price down bit by bit while making profits. "
"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place is significantly lower than the average price, the officials will also open the warehouse, but this time they will use money to raise the price bit by bit and carry out large-scale harvesting to ensure that Price stability.”
"When the price of a certain commodity in a certain place fluctuates violently and the local warehouse does not have enough goods in stock, it can be retrieved from nearby warehouses."
"Sell when the price is high, buy when the price is low, and ensure that the prices of various commodities are always within a normal fluctuation range, thereby ensuring the normal life of the people."
"So, equaling the rank means equaling the equal loss?" Jiang Hua thought silently.
The quasi-policy of "All Loss and Leveling" is also a political decree with a long history. It was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, rulers of all dynasties often adopted this strategy.
"What about credit?"
"Credit is a decree to deal with the people's lack of money."
Having said this, Wang Jujun's expression became even more determined: "I have investigated the lives of many savages and common people, and I have also visited many different towns and counties for inspection."
"I found that when people spend the most money, they get married, old people die, or suffer sudden illness."
"Many common people will be short of money after some kind of accident occurs at home, but they often don't have much money at home, so they sell the land only after they have no other choice."
"However, I have implemented the Wangtian system, and land cannot be bought or sold. At this time, when the people encounter an accident and urgently need money, what should they do?"
"If we put it in the past, we could only sell the land. But if we have sold all the land, we could only sell our wives, sons, daughters, and slaves..."
"So, there was a credit decree."
"Every commoner has the authority to borrow 10,000 yuan from the imperial court every year."
"After borrowing this 10,000 yuan, you don't have to repay any interest for three months. From three months to one year, you only need to repay one percent interest."
"After one year, if you still don't have enough money, you have to participate in building reservoirs, canals, roads, etc., and pay back a little every day while taking care of food and shelter."
"Every common person has the authority to borrow 100,000 yuan from Chaotian once in his life."
"This opportunity only exists once. Once you use it, it's gone."
"Credit loans are a government decree specifically used to address the urgent needs of the people, and can also effectively combat private loan sharking."
Loan sharking is almost everywhere in the world.
Most nobles are engaged in this industry to some extent, and this industry has even become a cash cow in the hands of the nobles.
Fortunately, there are no nobles in Li County now.
In short, this is another decree that cuts the flesh of the nobles and drinks the blood of the nobles. Once it is issued, it will definitely be extremely controversial.
"As for the final Guanshanhai, Guantongguan, Guanshanhai is the unified management of special industries such as salt and iron."
"This was also Senior Guanzi's decree at the time. Senior Guanzi believed that directly levying poll tax, land tax and other taxes would cause dissatisfaction among the subjects, and would easily be manipulated by petty officials. A tax of one yuan would be levied at the top, and the people would have to pay the tax at the bottom. A tax of ten cents is not conducive to the development of the imperial court."
"Therefore, Senior Guanzi directly implemented the official Shanhai government decree, specializing in salt and iron, and unified the management and sale of salt and iron, necessities of daily life for the people, by the imperial court."
"Of course, the pricing power is the court's final say."
"When the court is short of money, it only needs to raise the price of salt to obtain a large and extremely considerable income."
"Salt is a necessity. Without it, we can't live. Therefore, even if the price is increased, people can only buy it. If they don't buy it, they can't live."
"The advantage of doing this is that the tax is included in the price and is obtained intangibly."
Before many people could react, they had already been cut off by the salt tax.
It just didn’t work out if I didn’t buy it, so I came up with private salt.
The higher the official salt price, the more widespread illegal salt is!
This is the main reason why all dynasties have strictly cracked down on private salt. This private salt is robbing the court of money!
After listening to Wang Jujun's thoughts, Jiang Hua also said seriously: "I originally thought that Taoist friends' reforms were purely about admiring Zhou Rites and reorganizing the system strictly according to Zhou Rites. Now it seems that Taoist friends are also relying on the ancients to reform the system, and they are not people who follow the ancients. , I underestimated fellow Taoist before."
Wang Jujun smiled slightly, still looking calm and confident.
Guan Shanhai is Guanzi's idea, Qingmiao method is Wang Anshi's reform, Wang Tian is the idea of many people in ancient times, and average loss is Sang Hongyang's idea. If you look at history, you will find that all contemporary government orders such as putting on makeup and washing your face can be found in ancient times.
