Chapter 270(1/2)
From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains have been staying at home for farming, whether in chaos or calm periods.
We work hard to farm and grow grain to eat.
But the population is growing, and there are more and more places to spend money. In the end, everyone finds that there is not enough food and not enough money.
What to do?
A group of people thought of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, so reform came into being.
I have thought about all kinds of methods, but no one has thought about external...
Shouldn't we farm?
The outside world is very dangerous, so let's just hide at home and farm.
No one thought of going outside to find a way out!
Zhao Zhen was looking at Zhao Zhongzhen.
The first question Zhao Zhongzhen's answer is 'Man conquers nature.'
People can find more wealth from nature.
Then, facing Fu Bi's somewhat reluctant rebuttal, he directly responded to "expand outwardly"
This is an answer that has never been seen before.
This boy is so sharp that it makes people feel dazzling.
The crown prince and emperor of the Song Dynasty had never been so sharp, so Fu Bi felt a little nervous.
So he looked at Chen An.
He hoped that this was Chen An's attitude, and Zhao Zhongzhen was just a parrot.
But Chen An was just smiling and looked a little surprised.
Obviously, this answer is Zhao Zhongzhen’s own choice.
This is what shocks people.
Zhao Zhen was shocked. He didn't know whether the answer was good or bad, but he knew that it represented an enterprising spirit.
He is the king of the founding king, and he himself knows this.
One generation keeps its achievements, what about the next generation?
In the early Han Dynasty, he was humiliated by the Huns. Several generations of kings lie on firewood and taste gall, and finally he was revenge by Emperor Wu of Han.
This is the deed that can inspire the emperor the most, but the literati often attribute the martial arts of Emperor Wu of Han to the military and military force.
Fu Bi felt that Zhao Zhongzhen's idea was very dangerous. He was about to refute it, but Zhao Zhen said, "This matter is to be aborted."
The official intercepted the subsequent debate. What is this attitude?
Zhao Zhongzhen bowed and said his leave. He walked out of the hall with his head raised, and behind him was a silent monarch and minister.
They feel that they have failed.
They sensed the dusk energy in their bodies and were a little at a loss.
Chen An was kept by Zhao Zhen.
He knows what this means.
These monarchs and ministers were confused by Zhao Zhongzhen's words.
A place where people follow the rules and refuse to step beyond their line of work suddenly came a boy who refused to follow the rules and was stunned by the bombing.
In history, after Zhao Zhongzhen entered the palace, he once wore armor to meet Empress Dowager Cao. At that time, he thought of using swords and guns to win dignity for the Song Dynasty and new land.
Compared to Zhao Zhen, who was in charge, this young man is the hero of the Song Dynasty!!!
Zhao Zhen sat on it with a changeable expression.
How do you evaluate Zhao Zhongzhen's words?
The prime ministers are also waiting for the answer.
Zhao Zhen suddenly asked: "There is a certain amount of wealth in the world, what do you think?"
He was doubting, doubting that all this was from Chen An.
Fu Bi looked at Chen An without any concealment, his eyes cold.
He felt that Chen An and Zhao Zhongzhen were taking advantage of tricks.
Faced with the doubts of the monarch and his ministers, Chen An said: "Your Majesty, if I asked me before, I would have answered that wealth will never be restricted."
Fu Bi frowned and said, "Let me tell you."
Zhao Zhongzhen was taught by Chen An, and Fu Bi wanted to know Chen An’s view on wealth.
Chen An said calmly: "The ancestors had no idea of wealth. Bartering things was their way of life. How much wealth was there at that time?"
"To this day, it seems that the fields have been reclaimed, but what about water conservancy? How to cultivate good varieties and improve fertilization?"
Fu Bi coughed dryly, his old face turned slightly red, and he said, "These can't increase much."
You coal!
Chen An really wants to shout angrily!
But he prefers to use words to attack his opponents.
You want to argue?
hehe!
He smiled and said, "Fu Xiang, let's just say it's simple, Xiang Lu, you must know, right?"
Fu Bi's heart trembled, and he finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart just now came from.
Chen An said calmly: "How much is the raw material of Xianglu worth?"
He stretched out a finger and said relaxedly: "Not high. But how much money did several things that were worthwhile together? After my hard work and spent more than half a year of testing, how much money did it get?"
"Those people started to plant flowers in wastelands where food could not be grown, harvested them when the season was the time, and then dried them and sold them to Xianglu workshop. Where did this wealth come from?"
He looked at Fu Bi and asked, "Fu Xiang, according to your words, the original wasteland could not produce wealth, but after planting flowers, I will buy dried flowers here, which is money. Then the dried flowers turned into flower dew, and directly earned money from the foreign vassal... Who said that wealth is a certain amount?"
Wealth comes from human mind and ability!
Later generations said that the oil was going to run out, and the breath of despair began to permeate.
As a result, alternative energy sources are becoming more and more prosperous, and there are even discoveries of combustible ice and shale oil and gas. As for new energy sources at higher levels, they are also constantly developing.
Fu Bi's face trembled for a moment. He wanted to argue, but found that he could not find a reason.
"For example, if a piece of land is not good, let's sort out and repair water conservancy, so the yield per mu will increase greatly. What is this?"
Chen An said firmly: "This is people producing wealth! Only people can determine the amount of wealth, not what is fixed."
The king and his subjects were speechless because when they said that wealth was a certain amount, no one gave an example, but instead made a statement in a big way.
But Chen An is polite and polite, and uses examples to prove his arguments continuously.
Chen An said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, we can't sit and eat and wait for death! So many ways to increase wealth, why not use it?"
If it were someone else, he would definitely be in trouble with Shen An. Whether it was a quibble or a sophist, he would definitely not give up.
But Fu Bi bowed and said, "I'm thinking about this matter slowly, but today I can't answer."
At this time, an eunuch came in outside and he brought a memorial.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhongzhen from the Prince's Mansion said that he forgot the memorial."
Young man!
Chen An couldn't help but want to laugh.
This is because I feel that I have won a great victory, so I show off when I leave, but I forgot the memorial.
If it were in the past, Zhao Zhen would definitely suppress it and wait until he had time to see it later.
But now he took it and looked at the memorial carefully.
After reading it, he raised his head and said in no way whether it was a relief or a sigh: "Zhao Zhongzhen suggested promoting water conservancy."
Many people have mentioned this suggestion, so the prime ministers don’t think it’s strange.
Zhao Zhen sighed, "He suggested not to collect civilians, but to hire farmers who have been idle farming to build canals to make money. After the water conservancy is repaired, more production in the fields will be made in the next year, and farmers will have money in their hands. Money will definitely cost money. At that time, merchants, craftsmen... many people will benefit, and even the court can have more taxes... Such things will be done even if the court loses its deficit."
This is a good way to drive the chicken's farts, invest in infrastructure.
This idea of spanning the times shocked these local monarchs and ministers again.
Can money still be used like this?
Can water conservancy be repaired like this?
Can giving people wages so many benefits?
They are used to saving money, just thinking about saving every penny, and then enjoy the so-called peace with peace.
To be continued...
