Wanli Xinming

Chapter 33 Argument

When Zhang Juzheng heard what Zhu Yijun said, a smile appeared on his face.He echoed: "When the platform is called to the right, the emperor said that the construction of the school and the development of the hospital are always in mind, but I have no money to worry about." After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

On the same day, after the platform was called to the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng looked forward to the future Emperor Ming in his mind: it was a Ming Dynasty with a prosperous culture and good education at a young age; it was also a Ming Dynasty with a wealth of treasures and a literary style; That is the Ming Dynasty when the people of the country are strong and never hungry.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "I think that what the sage said is the rule of three generations. From ancient times to the present, although it is prosperous, it is unreachable." Zhu Yijun said a few words about the idea of ​​running a kindergarten and opening a hospital, but he did not talk about it in depth. .Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng remembered it in his heart.

At this time, the two recalled their feelings when they were summoned, and the tension in Wuying Hall eased.Zhu Yijun rationalized his thoughts, and then Zhang Juzheng said: "Old sir, what is money?"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth to say that gold, silver and copper coins belonged to him. He knew that the emperor could not ask such a simple question. Poisonous." Zhu Yijun rubbed his palms and laughed.

Zhang Juzheng's words come from "Qian Materia Medica" written by Zhang Shuo, a famous minister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

When Zhu Yijun stopped laughing, Zhang Juzheng rationalized his thinking and replied: "I think that money is wealth, and Guan Zi said, 'The world does not suffer from no wealth, but when there is no one to divide it', in this financial management world, both the rich and the poor, It is also the responsibility of the prime minister."

Zhu Yijun shook his head gently and said, "Sir thinks that money and wealth are connected, but I don't think so. I think money is a "weighing instrument", and it is a ruler for measuring wealth. If the business people believe it, there is nothing that cannot be used for money, such as shells, silk, silk, and gold. Silver, copper, iron, etc."

He laughed again: "It's even paper, like treasure money."

For Zhang Juzheng, it is not difficult to understand, he agreed: "The emperor's words are to the point! With this thought, you know that taking useless things and stealing people's wealth is too much!" shop idea.

Zhu Yijun finally smiled confidently, and asked again, "Does the world have a certain amount of wealth?" Zhang Juzheng said: "The wealth of the world is a fixed number, and the more the people are, the less the people are."

Zhu Yijun said: "I think it's wrong. At the beginning of the country, what was the population of the world? At this time, what was the population of the world? If the wealth of the world is a fixed number, and the wealth of the world is used to support the population of the country at the beginning, it will be many times richer than it is today! Is that so?"

Zhang Juzheng was at a loss for words.

Zhu Yijun took advantage of the victory and pursued: "At the beginning of the country, the number of people in the palace of the Great Ancestor was only [-], and the number of soldiers, officials, clans, and scholars was much less than now. It is reasonable to say that all the money belongs to the people. How was the people's livelihood at that time?"

Zhang Juzheng remained silent.Zhu Yijun added: "Actually, the wealth of the country is constantly growing. If the country is well governed, the wealth grows faster than the population reproduction. It is a prosperous age. Ordinary world. This time is much worse, people can't help but suffer from hunger, and the end of the world is approaching. Does the teacher think this is correct?"

Zhang Juzheng said stubbornly: "What the emperor said is that the difficulty of running the government lies in the distribution of wealth. If you can damage the excess and make up for the deficiency—"

Zhu Yijun interrupted: "Sir, have you ever thought about where the wealth in this world is increasing day by day?"

Zhang Juzheng had already followed Zhu Yijun's train of thought at this time: "In food, goods, etc."

Zhu Yijun said: "Well, do you know how the pancreas is produced just now, sir?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "I don't know."

Zhu Yijun said: "It's animal fat, which is made by adding lye, essence, etc. A pancreas workshop with a daily output of hundreds of catties needs to employ more than 20 people, and more than 40 people work in shifts for leaching lye with plant ash; Buying goods from Yunnan, just picking the flowers to get the essence, the number of people exceeds the number of small people who process saponins."

After a while, he said: "I have already sent people to look for alkali ore - if the transportation and sales of raw materials and finished products are added, there will be more people to support! This is also a manifestation of industry and commerce. I dare to assert that all new creations such as glass, If there are tens of thousands of people living in the world, such as clocks, pancreas, etc., there will be fewer people in the world.

Zhang Juzheng was not a pedantic person, but his financial and economic knowledge was like that of a normal Confucian disciple.Today, Zhu Yijun's integration of "industry, commerce, money, and people" makes it clear to many people that the economy has not been fully explained by his predecessors, and he smiles unconsciously on his face.

He left the table and knelt down and said: "The emperor is pedantic about heaven and man, and the minister has benefited a lot. At this time, I know the reason why the emperor rewarded craftsmen so much to promote invention."

After Zhu Yijun shouted, he took a sip of tea, and then said: "We have neglected the importance of craftsmen in the past, but they can be efficient! Let me give another example: how to make salt now?"

Yan Zheng, who Zhang Juzheng knew well, heard the words and replied: "Or boil sea brine for it, and take well salt or sun lake salt in the southwest."

Zhu Yijun said: "It's true, I have also studied it before. What if the method of drying lake salt is used for sea salt production?"

Zhang Juzheng's heart turned, his face changed color and said: "If this is the case, the Chinese people will not have to worry about the lack of salt! The price of salt may drop greatly!"

Zhu Yijun laughed loudly and said: "I have issued a secret decree in the early summer of this year to order the eunuchs in Haifeng, Shandong and Xiangshan, Zhejiang to try to level the tidal flats and divert seawater to dry salt. 20 catties of salt! There is basically no need to burn reeds, and there is less labor, and the cost is one-twentieth of boiling salt!"

He sighed and said, "Only when I received the report of the eunuch guarding Shandong, did I know that the salt people in Haifeng had invented the method of drying sea salt in Jiajing, but it's a pity that I went to these officials—" He put the teacup heavily: "The corpse is a vegetarian meal, full of food all day long, It's useless to fight hard!"

These words were very serious. Zhang Juzheng's face was rarely red, and he knelt down to plead guilty: "This minister is in charge of the major affairs, open your eyes as if you are blind and don't see this, please punish the emperor! Minister!"

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's arrogance had subsided, Zhu Yijun hurriedly left the table with a smile to help him up and said, "The old gentleman is serious, I'm not telling you to come."

After the two sat down again, Zhu Yijun continued Zhang Juzheng's words and said, "Sir, you are in charge of the big government, and both I and the Queen Mother promised to do it. Today, I have the honor of riding! Why do I put me on the stove in the government's government today?"

Zhang Juzheng Hao Ran said: "The minister saw the question of the emperor's township test, and he said the way of things, and thought it was a misunderstanding of the sage's words. In addition, the emperor opened a factory and set up an imperial store with his own money, which was inconsistent with the minister's earlier concept, and I secretly thought that there might be a great happiness. That's why. So it shows the splendor and wants to mix the government and orders, but the ruler and the minister are inseparable—"

Zhu Yijun was almost laughed at by Zhang Juzheng.What Zhang Juzheng means is that if I let them all see the court, I have the final say, and no one will bother to divide the ruler and ministers, because that's useless.As for the emperor, you have all promised my lord, please speak your mind - this is self-confidence to the point of being a little arrogant.

Zhang Juzheng said that the emperor was very happy, and he was similar to Wang Chonggu. It can be seen that Zhu Yijun had a similar impression to the important ministers.Fortunately, Zhu Yijun spoke up today, otherwise Zhang Juzheng's constraints will only increase in the future.

With a sneer on Zhu Yijun's face, he heard Zhang Juzheng continue: "Today, the emperor has made it clear, the minister has made a mistake!" He happily admitted his mistake.

Zhu Yijun listened and wondered whether what Zhang Juzheng said was true.However, at this time, we can only speak as much as possible to avoid future monarchs and ministers turning against each other.

After thinking for a while, and pretending not to laugh, he said in a manic voice, "I want to take over the military power of Gyeonggi, but what does it have to do with Qing?"

Zhang Juzheng's heart jumped twice, his face was pale, and he kowtowed: "The emperor has misunderstood the old minister! The minister has no intention of meddling in military power! Besides, if the emperor is in charge of the capital with honor and honor, he would take the liberty to say that he would beg for fish ears! How can there be strong soldiers in the various battalions of the capital? The combat power is not as good as that of the factory, the guards, and the slaves of all the families!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun stood up in shock!
　Because of the need to add more, the time is not too stable.Try to be as stable as possible, dear readers, just pay more attention to the bookshelf
　　Yesterday, the recommended votes dropped slightly, the collection increased slightly, and the classification and strong promotion effect was stable. Lao Mo urges everyone to have time to spread the word!Thanks!
