Taiping Taoist is busy pursuing his ideals, and he is obviously happy and joyful at this moment.
Every day from now on, he would go to the camp where the savages were. He would personally check the pulses of the savages, personally prescribe and prepare the medicine for the savages, and finally teach them step by step how to prepare the medicine.
The most important thing is that Taiping Taoist is a true idealist. He does not feel superior to others just because of his high cultivation level. 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 Lijun refer to Zhou rites.
Somewhere in the wild in Li Town, Li County, Wang Jujun was sitting 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 the lines, and I also feel his persistence. Although the Taoism is different
We don’t want to seek each other’s help, but I am willing to express my admiration for Taoists like Taoist fellow Taoist 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 I can spread my ideas widely with the help of the journal Bai Jia contending. I also hope to see the opinions of other fellow Taoists.
"
Jiang Hua took a sip of the tea in front of him, blew the wind, and basked in the not-so-strong sun. He was in a good mood: "Of course, you are the second one to arrive, so the next conversation with you will be
, 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 Taoist friends 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 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 monarch."
Jiang Hua did not expect that the first emperor would write to the journal "Hundred Schools of Thoughts" so quickly.
"Some letters have more intense words and some unbearable content."
They all greet the whole family, even three generations of ancestors. The quality is really not good!
"Some senior experts even clearly expressed their opposition."
"There are many people who also made severe criticisms."
"There are many objections and not many favorable opinions."
"Moreover, some of these letters will be directly published 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 have expected to be laughed at by everyone in the world."
"Their ridicule and questioning will only make 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 feels that there will be quite a few people asking for fights with Wang Jujun and Taiping Taoist Xiaoshulin. Will this wave be considered 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 narration.
"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...etc. 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 raped, and aristocratic families took the opportunity to annex them, so the population on the books was often very small.
At this time, in order to seize population from aristocratic families and powerful people, the monarchs would grant land to a commoner. If a common person is granted land of fifty or one hundred acres, in a sense, this is considered equal land, but it is equal.
It is a wasteland that no one has cultivated.
Nowadays, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the vassal states, 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 a long time ago. Wang Jujun is not the first to propose this concept, but he may obviously be the first to propose this concept in the past few decades.
The first to practice this concept in ten thousand years.
Just for this, Jiang Hua has to give him a thumbs up.
Why?
This is traffic!
This is the hot spot!
This is 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 very large!
With these controversies, we will definitely have a fierce quarrel on Baijia contending, and the sales volume will naturally increase.
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 nobility 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 is to kill the savages at will.
After all, they are just a group of barbarians who do not learn the Zhou rites and whose political status is equal to that of the barbarians. No matter how they are concocted, 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 words..."
Having said 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."
You can practice your 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 calculating the price of each item in each place. After calculating the monthly prices, he will find the average price of various goods."
"At the same time, large-scale warehouses will be 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 actually means equalizing the loss?" Jiang Hua thought silently.
The "All Loss Leveling" Directive is also a policy 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 policy.
"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 the times when common people spend the most money are when their wives die, old people die, or they suffer from sudden illness."
"Many common people will be short of money after their families encounter some kind of accident. But their families often don't have much money, so they sell their land only after they have no 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 ten thousand money, 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 is 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 nobility and drinks the blood of the nobility. 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. If the top levy a tax of one cent, the people below would have to pay.
A tax of ten cents is not conducive to the development of the imperial court."
"So, Senior Guanzi directly implemented the official Shanhai government decree, monopolizing salt and iron, and unified salt and iron, the necessities of people's daily life, under the unified management and sale of salt and iron by the imperial court."
"Naturally, the pricing power rests with the imperial court."
"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 intangible."
Before many people could react, they had already been cut off by the salt tax.
But it was not enough not to buy it, so I came up with private salt.
The higher the official salt price, the more illegal salt becomes available!
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 the Zhou rites and strictly following the Zhou rites to reform the system. Now it seems that the Taoist friends are also relying on the ancients to reform the system, and they are not people who do not follow the ancients.
, I underestimated fellow Taoist before."
Wang Jujun smiled slightly, still looking calm and confident.
Guan Shanhai is Guanzi's idea, Qingmiao Law is Wang Anshi's reform, Wang Tian is the idea of many people in ancient times, and the average loss is Sang Hongyang's idea. If you look at history, you will find that all contemporary political decrees put on makeup and wash away
