When the founding of the country, Taizu said that hiding is rich in the people. When Wang Anshi reformed, he wanted to enrich the people and help the poor. The wealth he mentioned actually refers more to money, not physical objects. Market segmentation and underdeveloped commercial economy will make a large amount of social wealth not priced with currency. The backwardness of business will also cause a large amount of money to be deposited, unable to form capital, and also inhibit industrial development.

How much money was deposited by the people of the Song Dynasty? It was much more than the amount in circulation. At the reciprocity of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court added taxes. A widow was willing to pay for the whole county. When he opened a warehouse, he would pay all the money, and his family had several warehouses of cash. A small rich man in the countryside who was not visible and had no water, saved the cash for several houses, and the people at that time were also shocked.

The currency in circulation should be equal to the quantity multiplied by the circulation speed. In this era, most people have not yet realized the importance of circulation speed.

Du Zhongxiao opened a shopping mall on West Jing Road, increasing the flow rate is one aspect, and another purpose is to break the guild monopoly of various prefectures and counties, break down local barriers, and form a unified market. Once a unified market is formed, the situation will be completely renewed.

Listening to Du Zhongxiao talking about the significance of his various measures, Wang Anshi kept nodding. He had been an official in the local area for nine years, had enough experience and saw various disadvantages, and Wang Anshi was always looking for ways to improve the disadvantages. Many practices on Jingxi Road refreshed him and formed many ideas. Along the way, he observed the local area, understood the people's sentiment, and was also a perceptual understanding. Listening to Du Zhongxiao analyzing the pros and cons, he gradually began to form a rational understanding. With these understandings, he could put it into practice after he arrived in Shuzhou.

Shuzhou is located on the edge of the Anqing area of ​​the tributary of the Yangtze River. It is the Anqing area in later generations. The geographical conditions are similar to those in Xiangzhou area. Many measures of land camping and field camping can be directly transplanted there. Wang Anshi's plan is to use this magistrate to combine the experience of land camping and field camping and field camping and find his own way of governing the country in practice. Only by truly understanding the place and accumulating enough experience can Wang Anshi be willing to become an official in the capital.

Compared with Du Zhongxiao, Wang Anshi has much greater ideals and is much more proactive in doing things.

After becoming the governor of Shuzhou in history, Wang Anshi entered the capital and soon wrote the "Ten Thousand Words of the Emperor" and systematically put forward his own ideas of governing the country. "Ten Thousand Words of the Emperor" is a style of writing that officials wrote to the emperor. It is more formal and does not mean long-term discussion. Now this time is the critical moment when Wang Anshi accumulates experience and generalizes his own ideological and theoretical reforms of his own bad politics.

After Du Zhongxiao finished speaking, Wang Anshi said: "According to the view of knowing, the guilds control the local area and divide the national commerce into one state, one county, or even one town and one village, so that the vendors are not able to do anything, which is not good for the country. If the guilds control and seize the right to trade, the goods can be circulated in the world. However, in this way, the government will not be able to control private trade and make merchants leave the court's eye. Merchants are by nature seeking profits and do not engage in production. If the people pursue the profits of the vendors and delay farming, it will be very unfavorable for the world."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Jiefu, merchants are pursuing profits, but aren't other industries pursuing profits? The people have a saying that money is as secret as a secret, and a drop is sweet. Who among the world doesn't like it? Farming has the profit of farming, business has the profit of doing business, and opening a factory to produce goods is also profitable. If the profit is greater, countless people will get in and slowly dilute the profits. As long as the government adjusts from it, there will be no difference between them. As for the government's inability to control trade, it is the meaning of opening a market. There are shopping malls opened by the court themselves and shopping malls opened by the private people, each gaining their own profits. With their own shopping malls, the government can influence the business of the world by adjusting the amount of profits drawn. Then, through taxation, buying and selling officials, lending capital, etc., control others."

After hearing this, Wang Anshi didn't speak for a long time. With Wang Anshi's cultural background and his personality, he believed in direct control methods more. Du Zhongxiao's indirect control method was not in line with his wishes.

Why bother? Since the government can open shopping malls and directly produce, buy and sell goods, the business will be done by the official. The court will directly come forward, control and manage large-scale businesses. Only those small businesses that are not profitable can be given to the people for operation. Wouldn't it be easier?

Doing industry like the Iron Supervisor, doing business like shopping malls, and doing farming, agriculture, agriculture, industry, and business are all run by the imperial court. What big merchants, guilds, and fangs are all thrown aside. Wouldn't it be a whole lot?

Wang Anshi thought so and was planning to do this. This time he came to Zaoyang, he had to look at the farming model of farming and farming, and then he had to look at the village and community management. After learning experience, after arriving in Shuzhou, he would integrate all industries in the country and try his skills.

Listening to Wang Anshi talking about his thoughts, Du Zhongxiao had an illusion that he was talking to the top leader of a familiar state-owned unit. However, Wang Anshi's thoughts did not have ideological factors, but believed that wealth precipitation among the people and poverty and weakness of the court was the biggest problem in the world now. As long as the wealth was in the hands of the court, he could enrich the country and strengthen the army and reform all the disadvantages.

Wang Anshi is prone to extremes, and once he thinks that the method is good, he will push it to the extreme. Du Zhongxiao's practice of doing this on the one hand and trying every means to restrict it everywhere on the other hand, which makes him very confused. Since the official business has so many benefits, why leave room for private development?

Du Zhongxiao did not have the theoretical foundation to convince Wang Anshi. He could only go through vagueness and always had to go through practice to change his understanding.

The Song Dynasty was called poverty and weak. In fact, the later period of the Ming Dynasty was also poverty and weak? Was the middle and late periods of the Qing Dynasty a poor and weak? Even European countries in later generations were poverty and weak after the Cold War? Compared with their early period, the situation was the same.

If the regime does not control the lifeline of the economy, it will inevitably go to this point. In the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty used guilds and yamen to control industry and commerce, and the social wealth will inevitably be divided by merchants and yamen, and there will be little left in the hands of the official. As time goes by, it will deteriorate step by step. In this case, even if the official participates in some economic activities, whether in industry or yamen, it will be run away by various means and will not make money, or even lose money, becoming the nutrient for the private forces to accumulate wealth. It has to give up, thus making the quota that the official has allocated in social wealth smaller.

Wang Anshi and others went to the other extreme. Since this is the case, the government will directly distribute it, eliminate the merchants and factory owners who make profits in the middle, completely control the entire chain of production and consumption, and all profits will be controlled by the court.

How can this be done? It is nothing more than incorporating the production, consumption and the intermediate circulation links into the official system. In the past, people outside the system shared wealth, and people inside the system shared wealth. Without the means of control, are people inside the system less desire and less greedy than people outside the system?

Du Zhongxiao's method is that the official masters part of the economy and is sufficient to control social wealth. Through this system, the official proportion of profits and accumulations are adjusted, and the proportion of investment and consumption are adjusted to affect social production. The official cannot master such an independent system, either powerless to the economy or rely on a certain class, becoming a tool.

The regime is not adopted by taxation, which is the characteristic of the regime in Chinese history. If necessary and capable, the regime will come forward to directly control the means of production. Direct control of land, equal land system, and feudal system are all based on the fact that the land is owned by the regime. The factory was directly established, and there were huge official industries since the Zhou Dynasty and then all dynasties. Only commerce and the government could not control it, so it would emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce.
