Fang Qiao, on the other hand, prefers to be a good official and a capable officer, which can be seen from the fact that he can now help Yang Guang review memorials. But compared to Du Ruhui, Fang Qiao today lacks one very important thing -
—Ambition.
You must know that ambition is often the driving force for a person to achieve great things, and it is also the driving force for a person to dare to do treasonous and unethical things. What Wang Junlin will do next in Fanyang County is treasonous and unethical to the court. He wants all kinds of things.
Talents help him achieve things together. If these people do not have enough ambition and revenge, it will be difficult for them to give full play to their subjective initiative and achieve things together.
Wang Junlin knew that he had picked up a treasure by getting Du Ruhui, so he no longer pretended to be serious and bowed to Du Ruhui in the large carriage: "Ruhui, tell me your thoughts in detail without reservation!"
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, this has been a very high-paying courtesy between the lord and his advisers. Du Ruhui didn't even dare to go to the king to pay homage, and then said: "Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the three kingdoms' great efforts, more than two hundred years have passed.
Since then, the Three Kingdoms have fought for hegemony, and then the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty have been at war. The feudal princes have been divided, and the world has finally been divided into sixteen kingdoms. After that, there has been more than a hundred years of fighting for land, killing people and filling the fields, fighting for cities, and killing people.
The city was abandoned, and the people plowed and harvested in the spring and autumn. Countless people died from hunger, cold, and cold. Eventually, the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was formed. Although the late emperor was not in the right position, he finally unified the north and the south, reunifying the Chinese dynasty. He made great contributions and witnessed the peace and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.
period, but your Majesty has destroyed the late emperor's savings of more than 20 years in four or five years. Originally, the country was now unified, the people were free from the pain of war, and people's minds were at peace. However, the imperial court was carrying out major projects one after another, and new
It’s just the capital. In order to get rid of the control of the Guanlong nobles, moving the capital is a must-do. However, is it right not to talk about the Great Wall, Chidao, and the Grand Canal first? How can we be so eager? The labor required is getting more and more every year.
There are so many people, so the people are running around on the road, and the fields and crops are abandoned in the wild. People in the world want to rest but cannot spend countless money and food. Now they have to fight in Liaodong. By then, it will inevitably become a pattern of endless foreign wars and unrest in domestic affairs...
"
"There are also problems such as the rents for the common people are too high, the oral taxes are too frequent, and the value-added tax on wine, salt and other items is too heavy. The imperial decrees are so frequent, and the common people's burdens are too heavy, and they don't even have time to breathe. If this continues, the cattle and horses will be tired.
Not to mention humans?”
Now that Wang Junlin had expressed his stance, Du Ruhui said all the words he had been holding in his heart in one breath. He had been serving as a county captain in the county and dealt directly with the people. He knew that the people had long been tired of hard work, and this was still the case in the always prosperous Shandong provinces.
Not to mention other places.
"In short, in the opinion of the lower official, Da Sui is already a patient who is strong on the outside but evil on the inside. In this case, if he still does this, does that, beats this, beats that, it will only aggravate the condition and make the inside more empty."
Wang Junlin looked serious and said: "That's a good metaphor. If you were asked to prescribe a medicine to this patient, how would you prescribe it?"
Du Ruhui had obviously thought deeply about this issue for a long time, and immediately offered what he thought was a good medicine: "I think it should be treated with Huang Lao!"
"Old Huang?"
Wang Junlin nodded without reading to express his opinion. Du Ruhui admired Huang Lao's technique, and he also knew it.
"The official believes that at this time, the imperial court's tyranny should be stopped immediately. Since the Eastern Turkic Kingdom, which poses the greatest threat to the Sui Dynasty, is temporarily unable to threaten the border, why not combine hardness and softness to bring prosperity to the world."
To put it bluntly, in politics, they advocate rule by inaction, and in economics, they implement light corvee and low taxes. This is a typical Huang Lao thought, but it is also appropriate at this time. Wang Junlin thought thoughtfully, maybe he was in Fan Yang
Even if we don't completely apply Huang Lao's techniques to what we do behind the county, we should still learn from them.
Du Ruhui obviously admired Huang Lao's art very much, and said with bright eyes: "Taoism does nothing, which is also called doing everything. Among them, Huang Lao's learning is more due to the great harmony of yin and yang, the adoption of Confucianism, the goodness of Mohism, the collection of names, and the law.
The key is to move with the times, adapt to changes in things, and implement things according to customs, everything is suitable..."
Du Ruhui talked for a long time, but what he actually meant was that "the decree should be easy to implement, and the tasks should be done with fewer tasks but with more achievements."
However, Du Ruhui is different from the typical Huang Lao. For example, when dealing with a wealthy family like the Lu family, he must not use Huang Lao's techniques. He must be like Wang Junlin, similar to the Legalist technique, and use the law as a weapon.
, eradicate them completely without leaving any future troubles. After that, Huang Lao will be used to nourish the people and recuperate with the people, but this does not mean that nothing will be done. The government can also take the lead in doing things that benefit the people.
Wang Junlin nodded, expressing deep feelings
He agreed and said: "What you said makes sense. At this time, especially in the next period, running the country with Huang Lao is indeed a good way to save the country... However, after the country is stable, we cannot remain ignorant.
Use Huang-Lao's method to govern the country, because although Huang-Lao's method can easily strengthen a country's economy, it can also easily weaken a country's army."
Du Ruhui raised his palms and praised, saying: "Your Excellency is wise. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qi became rich due to Huang Lao's government, but it also perished due to Huang Lao's government!"
The biggest problem with Huang-Lao's art is that the people have become accustomed to it, and all the people have become like sheep. Qi, a country with such a large population and such a wealthy country, but under the increasing pressure of Qin, has become cowardly in the end. This is an example of this.
It turns out that hundreds of years later in history, the Song Dynasty used Confucianism to govern the country and integrated the techniques of Huang and Lao into it. As a result, the economic and cultural prosperity could not be transformed into military strength. You must know that the Chinese Dynasty has always been like this in the north.
The wolf-like nomadic peoples are watching with eager eyes. Once China changes from ligers to fat sheep, it is destined not to survive. The Song Dynasty was successively bullied by the Khitan, Xixia, Jin, and Yuan, and the country was eventually destroyed. This is clear evidence.
Therefore, in Wang Junlin's view, Mr. Huang can save the world in troubled times, but he can never be used to govern the country.
Wang Junlin shook his head, but did not say anything more about how to govern the country in the future, which was still too far away. Instead, he said with a helpless face: "With your Majesty's character today, he is determined to imitate Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and he wants to do things with all his strength.
I think Da Sui's chariot and horse are not fast enough, so he is waving his whip vigorously and refusing to stop or even turn his head, so as Ruhui said, let's be prepared to face troubled times!"
Du Ruhui seemed to have been talking for a long time, waiting for Wang Junlin's words. He bowed deeply to Wang Junlin and said: "Your Excellency, you are right. As long as the current emperor is in power, the carriage of China will never stop!
"
Wang Junlin was stunned at first. Du Ruhui did not say that the Sui Dynasty was driving a carriage, but that Huaxia was driving a carriage. This was already an extremely bold statement. Obviously in Du Ruhui's heart, he thought that he had almost tested Wang Junlin, and knew that Wang Junlin was
Jun Lin's thoughts, in fact, Wang Junlin deliberately revealed some of his ambitions, which gave Du Ruhui great encouragement.
