"Haha, it's all my fault that I was in the middle of a discussion with Su Qing, and because of the noise outside, I didn't notice that Mr. Zhu was outside the door. Mr. Zhu, please come in quickly."
Zhang Juzheng's embarrassment only existed for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure. He smiled, explained to Zhu Pingan softly, and then extended his hand to invite Zhu Pingan to come in.
"Well, the wind was really strong today, and the door was blown open." Zhu Ping'an did not expose Zhang Juzheng, and agreed with a smile.
"Master Zhu is here for the first time in Prince Yu's Mansion, and it really makes Hanju Pengpi shine with his presence." Gao Gong stood up and glanced at Zhu Ping'an, raised his hand in a polite manner, and said in a neutral tone.
Clearly not sincere.
Gao Gong said "Peng Pi Sheng Hui" on his lips, but what Zhu Ping'an read from his face and expression was: Although you are not welcome, you are all here, so come in.
"Where is it? Ping An came uninvited. What a bother."
Zhu Pingyuan pretended not to notice the insincerity of Gao Gong's words, smiled and shook his head, cupping his hands and saying politely.
The guests were divided into priorities and took their seats.
Then
Zhu Pingan became the audience.
After Zhu Pingan came in, Gao Gong just asked Zhu Pingan as if he was doing some errands, whether he had met King Yu and whether he had settled in. Then he kept talking to Zhang Juzheng and continued their previous discussion, ignoring them.
The existence of Zhu Pingan.
Just like two college students talking about national affairs, they naturally ignored the elementary school student beside them.
The masters fight each other, and the rookies retreat.
Stand back and stay quietly. This battle is not for you, rookie.
Um
Sitting on a chair and watching Zhu Pingan, Gao Gong and Director Zhang talking eloquently, this is probably the feeling.
"It has been more than a day or two that our government's treasury has been empty. However, some people in high positions do not do serious things, dare not criticize the current ills, and do not do practical things to improve the national economy and people's livelihood. They only know how to bury themselves in wording and sentence making, flattering and misrepresenting their meaning.
To flatter and create a prosperous Ming Dynasty on paper. Haha, if the prosperous age on paper is prosperous again, what good will it do to the country and the people? It is really ridiculous and sad," Gao Gong said with unabashed ridicule.
Although he didn't mention anyone by name, once he heard it, he knew it was ironic that it was Yan Song and his ilk. Well, maybe Zhu Ping'an on the side was also within Gao Gong's AOE range.
Because just after Gao Gong finished taunting him, he glanced at Zhu Pingan with the corner of his eye.
During the year when Zhu Ping'an became an official, he was somewhat famous in Qingci. He participated in several fast festivals held by Emperor Jiajing and was very successful. When Emperor Jiajing's beloved cat Weihu died, he still used the phrase "Hua Hua".
"Tiger is Dragon" helped Xu Jie win the favor of the Holy One in one fell swoop; and the article he wrote some time ago that won the Holy Heart: "I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, but he has never felt pity for me when he saw me. It's not because the dust covered the Buddha's eyes, it's because he didn't offer incense."
"Money" made Zhu Ping'an stand out in the Qing Ci circle.
In Gao Gong's view, Zhu Pingan's rocket-like promotion speed is inseparable from Zhu Pingan's "active" contribution to Qing Ci.
In fact, Gao Gong didn't care much about what happened to Zhu Ping'an.
If there are too many lice, why don't you worry about it?
Are there few such people in the current government?
Yuan Wei
Yan Ne
Guo Pu
So what if there is one more Zhu Pingan.
but
However, Zhu Ping'an was moved to serve as a bachelor's lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion!
This makes the high arch feel like a lump in the throat.
Gao Gong fought for Zhang Juzheng's position because he was a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion. In Gao Gong's view, Zhang Juzheng was the only one who could enter Prince Yu's Mansion and fight alongside him, first helping Prince Yu to rise to power and then helping his comrades in the country and the country.
qualifications.
The reason why Gao Gong invited Zhang Juzheng to Prince Yu's Mansion many times to help was for this purpose. In fact, the original goal was almost achieved. Zhang Juzheng quickly won the recognition and attention of Prince Yu with his talent and ability. Originally, this was
After the first sermon, Zhang Juzheng could naturally enter Prince Yu's Mansion.
However, who would have thought that Zhu Ping'an would interfere, causing Gao Gong's long-planned good deeds to come to nothing.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an's treatment of Gao Gong is like a fish in the throat.
"Haha, in Brother Suqing's opinion, how can we make money and manage money now that the national treasury is empty?" Zhang Juzheng continued Gao Gong's words.
Because Gao Gong's sarcasm was directed at the chief minister Yan Song, it was too sharp. Although Zhang Juzheng felt the same, he was cautious and did not take up the topic of ridicule. Instead, he continued the discussion about the shortage of the treasury.
"There is no other, four words, 'take righteousness as benefit'."
Gao Gong stretched out his hand, waved it forward, and said emotionally.
"I would like to hear more about Brother Su Qing." Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up and he raised his hands with interest.
"Whether it is managing finances to make money or managing the country and the people, one should not 'take profit for profit' but 'justice for profit'. If the country is managed 'for profit', it will only satisfy private interests and must
It will harm the public interest, eventually lose the hearts of the people, and destroy the national economy. This is not a profit, but a loss. Therefore, only by "taking righteousness as the benefit", putting righteousness first, and pursuing the public interest can we win the hearts of the people, fill the national treasury, and achieve long-term stability in the country.
"Gao Gong said with emotion, and then shook his head and sighed, "But nowadays, many people are seeking profit, imposing excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes to clear the way, squeezing the people's support, extorting and exploiting merchants, and amassing money. The people will be poor, the businesses will be poor, and the country will be poor. As everyone knows, only with this
"Righteousness is the basis of profit, agriculture is the foundation, business is the supplement, production is developed, financial management is economical, corvee is light and taxes are small, taxes are generous, merchants are sympathized with, and merchants' burdens are lightened. If the people are rich, the merchants are rich, and the country is rich, how can we not be rich?"
"Brother Su Qing's words are very good. He has raised the distinction between justice and benefit to the level of governing the country and managing finances. Brother Su Qing should be the first." Zhang Juzheng clapped his hands and praised him after hearing this.
"Haha, uncle is overrated. In my opinion, how do you make money and manage money?" Gao Gong smiled and shook his head, and then asked Zhang Juzheng how to make money and manage money.
"Haha, that's also the four-character name." Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong and replied with a smile, giving it a try.
"Oh, hehe, I would like to hear the details from uncle." Gao Gong laughed when he heard this.
"Without him, we can strengthen our roots and ease our people's ears." Zhang Juzheng also stretched out his hand, waved it forward, and replied with a smile.
"The people are the foundation of the country, and what Shu Da said is true." Gao Gong heard this and agreed very much.
"Consolidate the foundation and stabilize the people. The people are farmers and traders. In ancient times, the people who governed the country made it possible for trade to communicate the availability and availability of agricultural resources. If merchants cannot communicate with the supply and availability to benefit agriculture, agriculture will suffer; farmers cannot use their resources to facilitate business.
, then businessmen will be ill. Therefore, the power of merchants and farmers is always balanced, and as for diseases, there is no way to cure them. Heaven and earth generate wealth, and it has its own destiny. If you take it in a controlled way, and use it in an orderly way, you will be rich; if you take it without control, use it
Without restraint, there will be lack. The wealth of the dynasty comes from the people, but the people's power is limited, and the things to do are endless. And the expenses of the dynasty are dozens of times what they were at the beginning of the country. The contributions of the high officials add up to tens of thousands every year, and it is difficult for the middle and upper class to conquer the rivers and valleys.
The surplus, agriculture, and business affairs have repeatedly been exhausted. I think that if you want to have unyielding material resources, it is better to collect taxes from the province to benefit farmers and benefit business; if you want people to be able to use it without hardship, it is better to ignore the city to benefit business and benefit farmers." Zhang Juzheng went on to elaborate.
road.
"Supporting agriculture and not suppressing business, my uncle and I have the same view." Hearing this, Gao Gong became more and more appreciative of Zhang Juzheng.
sharp!
He is indeed the future chief assistant!
Zhu Ping'an, a new melon-eater on the side, silently praised the two of them. In a feudal society where agriculture and business were prevalent, it was very rare for the two of them to have such views.
