Zheng Lang said as he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, wait."

Then leave the capital.

After a while, I brought a few copies of the files and handed out some of them, which were circulated from Zhao Xu.

The first file was about the Qiongzhou Kuanyan case. Zhao Zhen was compassionate and relaxed the 1,000-yuan salt tax in Qiongzhou. As a result, the country paid more than 1,000 yuan for the 1,000 yuan salt tax in the second year. The second file was the 1,000 yuan salt tax. Zheng Lang proposed that the two surcharges were reduced. The amount of surcharges in the country was definitely a mystery. However, even if surcharges were added one-third, it would only be eight million stones of grain tax. It would not exceed 3 million yuan based on the local grain price, including the surcharges, at most 4 million yuan. However, the court's two taxes were reduced by more than 10 million yuan in the second year. But the fact is that the people may not get much profit. Two or three years later, the reduction of the two surcharges allowed other surcharges to be brought in. The term surcharges and surcharges disappeared, but a new term appeared again.

This has only happened not long ago.

Needless to say, Zheng Lang is concerned, none of the people here are children, they are all ministers with extraordinary IQ, and even Zhao Xu is not bad.

The ban on two taxes from the court is only more than 40 million yuan, but if it is implemented, it may be 780 million yuan. Maybe once it was cancelled, officials from all over the country would come up with new names to continue to impose taxes on the people.

Can I eat for 4,000 million yuan, and can I eat for 80 million yuan?

In fact, without the deducting corruption from various corrupt officials, it is impossible to ban the two taxes. Every state has local expenditures, some can be put on the top, and some cannot. Once the two taxes are banned, especially those in poor prefectures and counties, it will cause political collapse.

It will be cancelled sooner or later, but in the Song Dynasty, where industry and commerce are still in the budding state of original capital and their productivity is still low, it is impossible to cancel the two taxes.

After reading it, Zhao Xu said, "Mr. Zheng, I have no good mood."

"Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth. It is not impossible to relieve the pressure of the poor people. Since the reform, some people have supported and some people have opposed it. Some people think it is radical, and some people think it is conservative, especially the dispute between justice and profit. Opponents claim that in general, one can make profits when it comes to justice, and one can make righteousness when it comes to profits. Only righteousness and profits are just the opposite of righteousness. Therefore, a gentleman does not talk about profits. He also said that the Master said that gentlemen are like righteousness and villains are like profits. Mencius also said that benevolence and righteousness are for oneself, so why do you have to say profits? Supporters say that profits are the harmony of righteousness, so righteousness is the benefit of the world, and they are not listed here.

It can be without righteousness. Therefore, financial management is the so-called righteousness. A Zhou ritual, financial management is half the money. Is Zhou Gong profitable? I have never made any statement. But I have not figured out whether the profit and righteousness that is now fighting for is the righteousness and benevolence of the Master. Let’s first talk about self-cultivation and management of the family. If you do not stand upright, you cannot manage the family. If you cannot manage the family, you cannot govern the country with peace of mind. The family is in front. What is this? Is it to let the whole family and women, children, young, and slaves, all be gentlemen? Then why did Wen Kuan’s family issue the most shameful usury loan? Why did he give lantern shirts to Concubine Zhang?”

Everyone laughed and cried together.

Zheng Lang rarely talks about right and wrong. Wen Yanbo took the lead in initiating a controversy after he arrived in Luoyang, which probably made Zheng Lang suffer. Otherwise, he would not have said these two things.

"I won't say much about the Master's view on money and silk. Look at the Analects of Confucius. He did not think that money was not good, but thought that one should not be confused because of money and silk. Although money is good, one should stick to the moral heart. For example, in this country, if we do not talk about profit, we will print and seal the Analects of Confucius for the people. Will it be better to be economically immediately? Why did the hidden fields be checked in the front and the shoveling of tenants be launched in the back? Did the imperial court ask local governments to increase their income of two taxes?"

When it comes to shoveling, most people bow their heads together. Zheng Lang dared not touch, and others dared not touch, and even mentioned it!

Zheng Lang would not touch him either. He was investigating hidden fields before, and he would continue to take advantage of the situation and use policies to deal with the tenants. Do he want to die?

"It is not that profit cannot be expressed. The way of maintaining morality is what you say, the Master's family management, and the Master's words that wealth can be sought. Even those who hold whips can be obtained, I will also do it. If wealth can be obtained, I will do it even if I work hard with whips. Is this rich man the flowing money?"

"This..." Dacheng watched everyone be happy and was a little unhappy. He could not make fun of others, but he could not make fun of his master.

"Actually, the Master said that the Master was not wrong. Zixia asked, "The clever smile is beautiful and beautiful, and she always thinks it is gorgeous. What does it mean? The Master said, "After the fact, I will be able to talk about the poem after the fact." This paragraph is the origin and essence of etiquette and the Master and his student Zixia. The Master believed that benevolence and righteousness are the origin of etiquette, and etiquette is the decoration of benevolence. Those who learn etiquette must first learn benevolence. Therefore, there is another sentence after the man holding a whip. If you can't get it, then you will follow my preferences. There is another sentence after that, "If you eat a lot, drink water, bend your arms and pillow them. Unrighteousness is rich and noble,"

I am like a cloud. Money and silk are good, so the Master can put down his identity and be a whip holder for it. However, a whip holder has nothing to do with losing morality. You can seek wealth and honor, that is, the profit and official position you mentioned, and even saints can avoid their identity and influence for money and silk. But whether it is business, official, or farming, it doesn't matter. No matter what you do, you cannot lose your moral heart. Therefore, there is a saying that is unrighteous and wealthy, which is like a cloud for me. The country is so burdened, and it is not about profit and management. Can you learn from Wei's evil and light people and watch the country collapse and perish? "

This makes sense.

Why can't the country talk about profit? But the primary premise of talking about profit is to take morality as the foundation, and this profit comes with righteousness. If morality is lost, it is the benefit of villains.

In the past, the two debates were all distorted Confucius' meaning, and the sentence was cut out of context. A blind man touched the elephant and found a sentence. The elephant was the gate, and then found a sentence. The elephant was the pillar. These are all wrong views.

"Mr. Zheng, I understand, too," said Zhao Xu.

The two sides argued, both of whom were knowledgeable, and once confused Zhao Xu.

Moreover, it is Zheng Lang's usual practice to maintain a moral mind and to speak out and compete for profit.

"Your Majesty, I dare not. But after the reform is over, I have spoken my thoughts. Otherwise, I will only cause endless disputes. Besides, officials from all over the country have misunderstandings, which lead to many bad things. Some ministers have good intentions and difficulties in the country. They make more money for the country and resolve the national financial crisis bit by bit. But they have lost their moral heart. I only think about the country, but I don't expect that the people will continue to argue. Some scholars and officials are ashamed to talk about profit and aloofness. I also want to be honest, but I am really aloof. Please study Lin Hejing and go to bed.

I want to come to the court to be an official! Don’t say that I’m too serious. Please see the consequences. Because I am ashamed to talk about profit, I will hand over the finances to the minor officials to manage. The literati and officials manage the finances, and the country is well treated, and they know the sages’ righteousness and can still control them. However, what morals and restraints do these minor officials know? So they extort the people. After the blackmail, they do not give it to the country, but to fill their own pockets. This noble consequence is more serious than the former’s active resumption of the people. They make mistakes again and again, and the country uses salaries that have never been seen in previous dynasties to support officials and integrity, and the government has not improved at all. This is really heartbreaking!"

"Oh, ah!" Zhao Xu sighed repeatedly, his words were undoubtedly enlightenment, and he said to Wang Anshi: "Wang Qing, just write a plan for Mr. Zheng's words and promulgated them as an edict to the whole world."

"Here."

Some people looked solemn, but Zheng Lang’s words cannot be said to be wrong, right, but what is moral heart? They are afraid of causing greater turmoil below.

But no matter how turbulent the literati and the literati took the initiative to intervene in finance, would it be worse than letting the minor officials manage finances?

Lu Huiqing said: "Duke Zheng, what is the relationship with Qingmiao Supervisor?"

Still not convinced, wouldn’t I behave “moral” in my heart, both giving righteousness and gaining benefits?

"Ji Fu, let me say one more thing. After the launch of Ping An Supervision, the sea ship technology was not developed and I was not familiar with the climate and properties of the South China Sea. Every year, soldiers and craftsmen who drowned, died of illness, or died of battle were opposed by the ministers. Renzong could not bear it. He happened that the Northwest War broke out. In order to maintain the cost of the war, the people across the country were heavily restrained. Of course, they did not care how many people would die in Ping An Supervision in a year. Then I launched the bank supervision with Zhang Fangping. Most people repay the loans, and a few people did not repay it. So the bank supervision auctioned their property, workshops, and Renzong couldn't bear it. I said, if these measures were not available, how many people would like to borrow money if they lasted for a long time, how many people would like to borrow money if they were not allowed. So the bank supervision auctioned off their property, workshops, and Renzong couldn't bear it. I said, if these measures were not available, how many people would like to borrow money if they continued for a long time.

Want to repay? What will the Banking Regulatory Commission eventually become? Besides, although bad things happen from time to time, they will eventually be better than borrowing usury. Once bankrupt, at least they will not fall to the point of selling children and women, and the interest rate is much lighter. Even the interest of the Banking Regulatory Commission cannot be paid off, and there are many bad phenomena later. Although Ping An Supervision is familiar with the South China Sea islands due to the advancement of sea ship technology, people are still dead every year. Why no one talks about it again? Interests! The interests of the two Commissions are almost the same as several franchises, and they do not deprive the interests of the state and small and medium-sized merchants of unfaithfulness like franchises. This is a legitimate interest. How big is it to be thorned into?"

Everyone has a deep understanding of this. At that time, Han Qi would not want to embezzle some of the dividends from the Banking and Profit Supervision Bureau, and the result was extremely tragic. Han Qi's power at that time could be said to be far better than Zheng Lang now. It was because the circle of interests was too big, and Han Qi could not touch it at that time.

"If you don't mention the interests, I will only issue loans to the Banking and Liberty Supervision. Which family is not a wealthy family? Most of them can be repaid. But if it is a household below the fifth grade, there is no low interest rate. How many people can repay it?"

"Someone has succeeded before."

"Someone has succeeded. One is that they are famous ministers, the other is that the time is short. Occasionally, the people thank them. Even if they are unable to repay, they borrow food and money to repay, so they have achieved success. If they are implemented for a long time, will the people still have the heart of gratitude and do they have the motivation to repay? As I said, the literati and officials are better. But once the Qingmiao Supervisor is implemented, it will be a nationwide promotion. Can the literati be hosted by the literati? The hosts are like the literati, all of them are minor officials. What is the difference between them and local minor officials? For profit, dividends and rewards, and in the name of the official, will they be forced to promote? Once forced to promote and the people are unable to repay, what kind of story will happen? So after my Royal Highness and His Highness and Princess launched a charity meeting, I did not do any business, and I received charity money in the front and immediately dispersed them. This is why."

"Mr. Zheng, the usury below is even worse."

"Yes, Ji Fu, I know that it is a bad deed between private individuals. Even if 10,000 people are forced to die a year, it has nothing to do with the court. Once the court implements it, the consequences will be borne by the court. If 10,000 people can be killed by private individuals, and 1,000 people can be killed by the court, it cannot be borne by the court. In fact, Jie Fu also said that I answered. I will manage it in the future, but it is not like Qingmiao Law. I heard many people ask me about bank supervision and expansion of shares. First, the country does not have money as principal. Second, the country still lacks enough metal currency as liquid currency. Third, the staff are still a little unfamiliar and will expand. When these three items are solved one by one, the shares will be expanded in two times, and once, except for the border areas or banned states, all states will be in total except for the border areas or the banned states. Third, the staff are still a little unfamiliar and will expand. When these three items are solved one by one, they will be expanded in two times.

Banking supervision will be added to a large county with more than 20,000 households. This is the first time to expand the shares. The last time is to promote it to all prefectures, counties and towns! It will take at least ten years. Without this time, the three major problems of the country's principal, currency, and proficiency will not be solved. In more than ten years, these problems will gradually be overcome. Once it is promoted to all counties and towns, it will not only be merchants' loans, but also like people's loans. It all alleviates the suffering of usury, and secondly, it is also for profit. After more than ten years, employees will be familiar with their business and have the ability to identify who to lend to. At least they can release and collect them, reduce unnecessary disputes, and some bad things. Without this time to survey, the Qingmiao Supervision will be implemented in a hurry, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

There is much more than that, but Zheng Lang didn't say anything more. Looking at everyone, he said, "At that time, I will probably ask for retirement, so I hope everyone will not be as stubborn as they are now. They will look at problems in a long run, learn to appreciate other people's strengths and make up for their own shortcomings. Otherwise, even if I cannot retire, retire after success, and die in the Secretariat, I will most likely die with my eyes open."

I mean to make this sentence.

If the time is short and there are many problems, there will naturally be no big problem for yourself in Zhongshu. Over time, the crisis will gradually resolve, and it may even be that the burden has not been paid yet. Someone will point the finger at himself. At that time, it was not the right thing, but the right person. Isn’t it easy to find fault?

However, I didn't have the time to go.

I intentionally said this, the country has cured it and implemented a series of arrangements. I don’t have to bother you, and I will also retreat.

Zhao Xu murmured: "Even if you are more than ten years later, Mr. Zheng, you are only in your sixties."

In his sixties, it is still the golden age for officials, and it is a pity that he retires.

"Water is full, and the moon is full, and it is a loss. But that's still the story of more than ten years later. It's still early. In the past ten years, the road has to be better step by step."

"Did those poor households ignore them?" Lu Huiqing suddenly asked again.

"Ji Fu, no, Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are trying their best. If the national finances have not improved for more than ten years, I will learn from Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang. I just said that if the finances have improved, can all the two taxes be exempted? It is impossible. Can some help be given to these extremely poor households? If the people who dare not lend money after the promotion of the banking supervision are almost all the 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 7th and 1st, this will be called the arrival of a prosperous age.” Zheng Lang said.

It is still impossible, but in theory it can further enable many poor households to survive.

This is the true moral heart.

Everyone is silent and has good intentions, but no one can predict what will happen in more than ten years.

Everyone dispersed and said that they had opened the door. No one mentioned the dispute over the Qingmiao Law gradually calmed down. We can't blame Lu Huiqing and Wang Anshi for their good intentions in this regard. The usury owners are too cruel. Many bad things happen every year, and there are too many poor households. Once the Qingmiao Law is implemented, one is relief, and the other is also able to obtain considerable income. However, they all neglected the commotion caused by the implementation. When issuing Qingmiao loans, officials and staff below may issue Qingmiao loans to households with unrepayable 67** and other households? Even if it is to launch Qingmiao Supervisory, the minimum target of the final is the fifth-class household, and then enter the third-class household. Do third-class households need Qingmiao loans?

Zheng Lang continued to run on both sides.

There are too many mine pits in Fangchang Hedu nationwide, and there is no way to clarify it until the Dragon Boat Festival in May.

But the reform is no longer the whole country has gradually stabilized, and many people have begun to praise it. In fact, after all, it is still the word "interest", and they are worried that if the reform continues to be implemented, their interests will be harmed. Then another good news came.

The auctions of Hedong wine business were implemented one by one, and the court received more than 9.13 million yuan in cash.

When it was passed to the court, everyone was dumbfounded.

It should be noted that the income of the entire Hedong wine business in ten years is only about 8 million, including the labor costs and miscellaneous expenses of officials. There are still costs after the auction, but it will drop by more than 80%. Zeng Gongliang stared at the dibao and said, "Xingzhi, if this is the case, the national wine business can also implement the sealed investment law."

Too cost-effective.

Zheng Lang laughed: "Ming Zhong. It's impossible. Hedong was famous for its abundant wine production in the Tang Dynasty. This is a unique industry and has the merits of Zeng Bu."

When he was released, Zheng Lang said something, using Fan Li's oldest son to Chu Qiu's second son's different results. He would cherish the noble and despise the noble. Just like people who buy lottery tickets and get rich overnight cannot keep their money, but those who start from scratch often can keep their property. The more money the case is, the higher the cost. These big merchants will cherish it. Not only to make money for the court, but there is another more important point. Hedong is barren and growing grain is mostly unsuitable, but many areas are suitable for growing grapes. Once the wine industry rises, it will not only drive the economic and commercial taxes in Hedong, but also give the people a more life. The situation is similar to the lychee on Fujian Road, which is just a lychee. How many people on Fujian Road have they raised?

With the conditions, the Western Regions craftsmen came and brought technology. In order to hire them, the court used the cost of tens of thousands of yuan, and had more than ten million yuan of yuan to pay back. They also had funds and had this successful history. However, as a powerful man, he definitely hoped to use the least amount of money to obtain the right to produce and sell the wine. This depends on Zeng Bu's ability to use his mouth. If he cannot use force, he can only encourage him with words and inspire wealthy households to compete for bidding, so that the money he has made is increased.

It was done well, but Zeng Bu still stayed below, collected money, and had to do something, and cooperate with the big families to encourage the people to plant. One night later, after spring, a year will be wasted.

The imperial examination began. Wang Gui, Su Song, Sun Jue and others presided over the leadership, and only 300 Jinshi were admitted, and the provincial government was Lu Dian.

In the Jiying Palace Examination, Zheng Lang gave a message of advice and made a statement.

It was these two words that led to a sharp reduction in the number of places. Originally, this time, the Jinshi, Mingjing, and all the subjects were given the title, origin, and the same origin, with a total of 829 people. But this time, only 532 people were given a severe cut. Indeed, the layoffs were too fierce. Under the second and third reforms, hundreds of officials were reduced one after another. The number of officials in the court is now only 18,400. There are no increase. The empty spaces are vacant every year. There are only 100 people. There are still no more people left. There are still many officials looking at them. One more imperial examination quota means an additional one.

Of course, there can be no less.

The top scholar Ye Zuqia.

There was a high school Jinshi this year, which made Zheng Lang pay great attention. Although Cai Jing was not the top three, he was very high. If he used it correctly, he would be righteous. If he used it evilly, he would be evil. However, Zheng Lang was not afraid at all, so that was impossible. But his attention quickly shifted to the northwest.

Wang Shao went to Qintao, and Zhang Feng returned to Beijing to participate in the examination for the Liang Fangzheng exam. He was only a fifth grade, but he was admitted to the entrance examination. He was assigned to the museum and inspected for a while, and then released him. However, with this experience, he could no longer be assigned to the ranks of military officials.

The achievements of Jingyuan Road made Guo Kui excited, and the brothers of Zhong Yan, Miao Su and Yao asked for it together. So the court issued an edict to call Dou Shunqing as the Huaide Army's commander and Zhong Yi as the magistrate. It was not the turn of Zhong Yi, who made him have a good father-in-law behind him?

After obtaining the brave generals, Guo Kui began to lead his troops to counterattack in April.

Liang Yi failed to attack Suizhou, and then returned to attack Huaide's army, so he left behind 20,000 troops four miles away from the city to build eight forts to defend. After the fort, he left 300 troops as guards. Guo Kui sent generals Yan Da and Zhong Yan to lead troops to break the two big forts in the eight forts, kill several chief troops, and send a letter to the boundary of Youzhou, saying that the Xia State violated the oath and invaded the Han boundary of the city. He was very guilty. If he could repent, he would return. If he did not follow, he would punish Wu'er.

As soon as he forced him to see the fierceness of the Song army. After the news of Huluchuan was heard, the soldiers guarding the Xixia Fortress were robbed, so all the guards guards of Yu Fort fled.

Seeing that military achievements were made on both sides of the left and right, Li Fugui, the governor of Qingzhou, was moved. This was a very good official, but he was not very good at military affairs. Originally, the Song Dynasty built Dashun City at the source of Huachi Water in Qingzhou, and then built Liyuan Fort on the banks of Huachi Water River in the southeast of Dashun City.

The Song Dynasty accepted Suizhou, and Li Fugui also asked Liyuan Fort to accommodate the Xixia rebels, and let these rebels invade and farm along both sides of Huachi Water. Later, the western ends belonged to the Song Dynasty territory, but not at this time. If you look at it from the map, from Xiaoguan to Yuanzhou, and then to the Baoan Army, the end of Qingzhou is like a deep-sinking mud pit, with the west side of the mud pit being under the jurisdiction of the Xixia. That is, the areas invaded by the Song Dynasty are strictly Xixia territory at least now.

Liang family asked Liang Yi to attack Suizhou City, and sent 100,000 troops to the west of Liyuan Fort, building Naoe Fort twenty miles away from the border of Qingzhou, and building twelve Panchengs. All of them were not the territory of the Song Dynasty. When they heard that the eight forts in Suizhou were all destroyed, they dared not build any more military service. They did not build them, but the military service was still on the ground and watched.

In fact, when the Huaide Army failed, the Liang family was very urging. Even if she was not convinced, there were more ministers and clan leaders in the Western Xia who demanded peace. Forced to oppose domestically, the Liang family first exchanged prisoners of war with the captured Qiang people.

Turn a blind eye to food.

The Song Dynasty was really allowed to continue to win over the tribes of Hengshan, but it did not refuse. It was dragged down. The first half of last year was drought and the second half of the year was still good. It was delayed until the arrival of summer, and the food crisis was resolved, and the Song Dynasty's use of grain for livestock was ruined.

At this time, when Liang was considering how to have a decent step, Li Fugui sent troops to greedy for military merits. He taught the side general Li Xin a strategy and asked him to go from Liyuan Fort to Huziling to attack his soldiers. This is a very funny thing. The literati often teaches the military strategy to the generals. So what should the generals do?
To be continued...
