Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 259 Unprecedented
Looking out the window, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming.Wang Xiaolie said: "Yang Jin was wiped out at that time. When we first came to Xiangyang and Dengzhou, I built a lot of profitable clubs in Xinye. Up to now, many of them have achieved great results, but they have not been started. Why do we do it? Can’t get up? Because of lack of money. Not only the government is short of money, but the people are also short of money. What’s the use of money? If you have money, you can do everything easily, but if you don’t have money, you can’t do anything.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie looked at the crowd and said: "So I regard money as the vanity of society. What is vanity? In theory, it seems useless. But all aspects of society are connected by money. With money, the whole society can live at once. The so-called Dao emphasizes the coexistence of fiction and reality. This is the principle. If the money is done well, all aspects of society will be done well. Only our whole country and society can continue to move forward. Everyone, we can't be like this, and future generations can't be like this!"

Hearing this, the officials below couldn't help being stunned.This is the first time I've heard of this point of view.It has been said since ancient times that human society has always been like this, it will be like this in the future, and it must be like this now.Money in human society refers to the fact that there is a certain amount of wealth in the world, and it does not belong to officials, but to the people.If the people are rich, the country is poor, and if the country is rich, the people are poor.What is so terrible about a country without money?That is called hiding wealth from the people.

Wang Xiaolie said that the society is not what it is, and it will not be in the future, but it is moving forward.What is this nonsense?Never heard of this kind of reasoning.Not to mention that things about Confucianism must be traced back to three generations. The political reforms during the Xifeng period of the Song Dynasty were first modeled on the Tang Dynasty and then the Zhou Dynasty.Everyone thinks that the past is the best, but Wang Xiaolie wants to say that the future is the best.

This is not surprising.In ancient society, many people could not see the progress of the society due to the slow progress.The mainstream view does not believe that human beings are always progressing and will eventually enter an unimaginable society.Most people only beautify a certain time in the past as a template for an ideal society.This kind of thinking has a long history and a long history.Even in later generations, this kind of thinking has not disappeared.For example, the expectation of the future is either doomsday or a society that has lost its motivation for progress.Such as cyberpunk, such as [-], such as the imagination of big companies controlling everything in the future.It boils down to not believing that human society in general will move forward.

Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiao said: "What does it mean that money is the essence of society? What is the use of this essence? In theory, the essence of money represents the progress of mankind. If mankind does not progress , money is not very useful. What money can buy can be done in other ways, why do we have to buy it? The reason why we buy it is that we hope to use money to promote the progress of the whole society.”

Chen Qiudao couldn't help it.With a light cough, he said, "Observation, you said that it will be better in the future than it is now, so how good is that?"

Wang Xiaolie didn't care about Chen Qiudao's attitude.Dao: "It is difficult to say clearly what is better than now. But many things have a trend. For example, how much money will be spent on water control in a year, and what will be done. How much will be spent in five years, and how many things will be done. Make a plan, and list them one by one. As long as it is done, it will be much better in five years. For example, the tea of ​​Xinyang Army, make a plan, how much good tea will be produced in one year, and how much good tea will be produced in five years. If it is done, it will be much better than it is now in five years. For example, the roads in each state should be well planned, how many miles of roads will be built in one year, and how many miles will be built in five years. If it is done, it will be much better than it is now. In society, everything can be like this. As long as we plan well and complete the plan, society will inevitably continue to improve."

In fact, there are more than these.The skeletons of the clubs that Wang Xiaolie built in Xinye can be developed step by step in this way.The five-year plan is a valuable experience for later generations of Eastern countries.As long as we are realistic, down-to-earth, make plans, and implement them, society can make rapid progress.When the mind is hot and the plans are unrealistic, there are many problems.

The establishment of the bank solved the money problem, and Wang Xiaolie was planning to implement a five-year plan in the place he manages.Every official knows exactly how many things to do in a year and how to do them.When the term of office is up, how well the plan is implemented can also become the evaluation standard for officials.

Chen Qiudao was confused.Looking at other officials, they are similar to myself.

Wang Xiaolie's thinking is too different from this era, and many sayings are unheard of.All the officials listened like a heavenly book.How can it be so simple to be an official? Why is it so complicated all of a sudden?

Wang Xiaolie said: "From the time of Renzong, Jiaozi has been printed for a hundred years. I know that when Xiangyang issued Jiaozi, many people did not take it seriously. But in fact, it is not the case. With Jiaozi, the whole society will be completely new. different."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie raised his voice: "According to the usual cost and the issuance of four guanhuizi, more than 1000 million guanzi can be issued this time. I have exhausted all means these days, and the production department has allocated a total of 410 million yuan of capital. You can print 240 feet. Including capital, a total of 660 feet will be deposited in the bank—"

Chen Qiudao couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Look, don't you want to send all the money? How big is the territory if you rule several states? Issuing so many clubs at once will inevitably increase the price and cause harm to the people!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't worry too much. The money is to be deposited in the bank, not to be spent. How the bank lends money and how to collect interest is their business. But in the future, the money used in the yamen will depend on this More than 600 million hits."

When Chen Qiudao heard this, his heart turned a thousand times, and he couldn't figure it out.Intuitively, the money is too much.If it flows to the people all of a sudden, the club will go bankrupt immediately.If people buy goods from the people by force, the people will suffer.

Seeing the dignified faces of all the officials, Wang Xiaolie knew what they were thinking.Said: "Let me say it again, this money is not spent, but deposited in the bank, which is also the capital of the bank. How to spend and how to loan, the bank will deal with it. Don't worry, if the price is high, it is equivalent to the bank loaning out money." I lost my money. The bank is not a fool, how could it do such a thing?"

Chen Qiudao felt that his mind was in a mess, and he really couldn't think of how the bank would ensure that it would not lose money.Such a large amount far exceeds the amount needed by society, and the depreciation is a certainty. What is there to discuss?
Wang Xiaolie said: "How to distribute the money and how much each yamen should share, everyone has to discuss it these days. Remember, this is the capital of the yamen, not the money that can be spent this year. In the future, more money will be collected. Taxes, how much money the yamen makes, there is no certainty now. Also, if there is capital in the bank, where will it be loaned, and what changes will happen to society, we have to think again."

Chen Qiudao and other officials did not carefully consider how much financial impact the printing of the meeting would have.According to the usual practice, it should be to see how much money the yamen will spend and how much money is in hand, and use the meeting to make up the difference.Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie directly used the gold, silver and copper coins in his hand as capital, and printed more than 1000 million guanzi at once.Such a large amount exceeded everyone's expectations.

Wang Xiaolie didn't consider what other officials thought, but just spoke according to his own plan.Is it more than 600 million guan?If it is compared with the income of the states on South Jingxi Road in the past, it is of course a huge sum of money.But according to the socio-economic needs of each state, there are actually not many.The most important thing is not how much money is printed this time, but how fast the money flows and whether it can create enough value.
