Su Yin was puzzled, "Isn't it the emperor who governs the country? Why do we say that the emperor has no ability to govern the country?"
Yu Wensheng smiled and said, "Who said that the country must be governed by the emperor? Since we are talking about this matter today, I will tell you about it. As we all know, the so-called officials are actually two concepts. Officials are mostly learned people and proficient
Hundreds of schools of thought know the way of heaven and earth. But when an official is doing something, he may not be good at it. Just like a county magistrate, the country often only requires him to be able to demand himself with filial piety, loyalty, trust, propriety, justice and shame. As for arresting thieves and bandits, urging them to
Matters such as production are handled by so-called "officials" who are specialized in this matter.
Similarly, if this statement is applied to the national level, the emperor is a person who governs. He only needs to manage the relationship between his ministers, select worthy people, and eliminate villains. Then the country will naturally operate along a good path.
Go down.
Therefore, the person who can truly govern the country is not the emperor, but those who are at the forefront and do hard work."
Su Yin was thoughtful and suddenly clapped his hands, "I'm so stupid. In fact, the boss lady has already told me how to manage this Dingnan province."
Yu Wensheng was startled, "What the hell, boss lady, Yin'er, why are you acting weird today?"
Su Yin smiled and said, "It's just a middle-aged woman I met while eating out. She said that the people of Dingnan Province naturally enthusiastically support the Duchess's efforts to combat corruption, but in the end, what they really care about is their own rice vats.
There is not much rice in your pocket, and there is not much money in your purse. As long as you can do this well, isn't it the same as governing a province?"
Yu Wensheng smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Su Yin said, "The most important thing for the people, food, clothing, housing and transportation, food has been solved. Ouyang Jing's new improved Songxi rice varieties have been distributed to farmers in various counties. Waiting for these two crops to be harvested, it will be enough to feed Dingnan Province for three years."
No problem.
As for their other various supplies, due to the remote location of Dingnan Province and inconvenient transportation, even if someone sends things there in vain, the small mountain road has limited carrying capacity. Not to mention that people here often still
We need to use a large amount of cheap products to exchange for something with outsiders.
So, what I mean is, first of all, we must gather skilled craftsmen from all over the mainland, and I want to make Dingnan Province a special province. It has everything that the mainland has, and after it is established, it can also derive the mainland.
No.
Secondly, I want to rest and reorganize the official road from the southern province to the mainland. The current official road is really a bit ridiculous. When I took office as a new official, it rained and I was almost delayed on the road, let alone those
For ordinary people, it is even more difficult for them to communicate with people from the mainland.
Third, we must find a way to let the residents of Dingnan Province taste some sweetness in a short time, and have full confidence in their lord, I, Su Yin."
Yu Wensheng nodded, "It is not difficult to do the three things, but it is also very difficult. Because as long as you have money, these things can be easily done, but the problem is that we don't have money now."
Su Yin looked at Yu Wensheng with a smile and said, "Sheng, you are the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Some people describe the richest businessman as 'the one who is as rich as the country.' But you are lucky. You don't need to be as rich as the country. You already have one."
The country. In this way, just treat me as a loan and help me use it with some money from your Daliao treasury."
