Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 80 Originally a Lobbyist
"Hehe, since it's a trivial matter, it's not too late to talk about it later."

I want to see how long you can hold back.

Zhao Yue picked up the bamboo slips in front of him, put them in his hands and read them carefully.

"Taoism is naturally the economic thought of Taoism. The "Tao" mentioned by Taoism not only refers to the Tao of nature, but also refers to the Tao of ordinary life. Starting from the philosophy of nature, Taoism advocates that economic activities should follow the laws of nature, and advocates quietness and inaction. "A small country with few people" opposes the ritual system advocated by Confucianism and the criminal administration advocated by Legalism."

Zhao Yue glanced at Xie Shang and said:

"What Tai Shigong thinks is the Taoist economic thought, but up to now, it is no longer applicable."

Xie Shang nodded slightly, this guy was actually not in a hurry.

"Xunzi's "Rich Country" advocates 'emphasis on capital' and affirms the role of various industries in the social economy, but only says that the number of merchants should be limited; he proposes that a rich country must be based on enriching the people, and advocates the strategy of "enriching the country from top to bottom". , Shang privately thinks that it is much better than Tai Shigong's Taoist ideas."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Yue picked up the hot tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "This is just a Confucian theory, and it was changed by Dong Zhongshu long ago. Confucianism is superficial, and now it is using the art of school."

"Shang Yang reformed the law in the Qin State, proposing the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army and "emphasizing the root and suppressing the end".

Shang Yang and later Han Fei believed that agriculture is the foundation of food and clothing, and the source of warriors, and the development of agricultural production is the only way for a country to become prosperous and strong. Therefore, a rich country must "emphasize its foundation."

At the same time, they believe that industry and commerce are the end of the industry and are easy to make profits. If no restrictions are imposed, everyone will avoid farming and endanger agricultural production, so they advocate "banning the end".

Not only that, he also advocated that a "strong country" must "weak people", that is, to use punishment and rewards to make producers hand over the products other than those needed for life and reproduction to the monarch, and private individuals are not allowed to keep a lot of wealth. "

Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now it is considered a world of great controversy. Many countries stand side by side in the north, and the situation in the south is unstable and there are many turbulences. But the people in the north are weak and the countries in the south are strong. What do you think Brother Renzu thinks?" ?”

"How can we weaken the people in the north and strengthen the country in the south? With the two of us?"

Xie Shang smiled wryly, and said: "Now you and I are here to point out the country, it is nothing more than talking on paper. In this world, we have not had the opportunity to display our ambitions."

"There will be."

Zhao Yue smiled lightly.

"Even if you are pointing at the country, you have to point it out. Brother Renzu is very knowledgeable, and his achievements in the future will be limitless."

"Xiao Langjun is going to be a princess at a young age, how can I compare with you?"

"Brother Ren Zu is too modest."

Zhao Yue took out another two barrels of bamboo slips from the bookshelf behind him.

"In addition to Confucianism, Daoism, and economic theory, there are many viewpoints on righteousness and benefit, taxation, and parity. I know that Brother Ren Zu is good at debating and talking. Since you have nothing to do today, you might as well discuss it with me. At that time, when you arrive at your feet and go to sleep, it would be better to go to the Duke of Zhou together.”

"Ah this."

Xie Shang's mouth opened. He originally wanted Zhao Yue to ask him what he was doing on this trip so that he could take the initiative in speaking skills, but this cunning little man didn't even give him a chance.

If this economic theory is discussed, it will take only a few days and nights. Is this the end?

Thinking that he was entrusted by others to come here today, Xie Shang could only give a wry smile, and bowed his hands to show weakness.

"That's all, sir, there is indeed something important to visit tonight."

Shouldn't it be over?

What tricks are you playing with me? !
"Qiu Ju, serve tea."

"promise."

Qiu Ju, dressed as a maid, stepped forward and poured Xie Shang a cup of tea.

"The water in Jiankang is steaming, and my manor is beside the Qingxi River, so the humidity is extremely heavy. If you drink alcohol at night, it will inevitably hurt your health. Drinking tea is good.

This tea is produced beside the Great Lake in Jingkou. It is flat and straight in shape, green in color, and has a clear and mellow inner quality. When soaked in a cup, the buds and leaves are green in color.Known for its "green color, rich fragrance, sweet taste, and beautiful shape", brother Renzu, please. "

There is no habit of drinking tea yet, but in fact tea is not uncommon.

It's just that it's not a daily drink, but it's being treated as a medicine such as health care products.

The wind of tea drinking was prevalent, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty.

"Then I will be disrespectful."

Xie Shang knew that Zhao Yue didn't have the habit of being obedient, so he was mentally prepared before coming.

But when he drank the tea, he unexpectedly discovered that it tasted really good.

"The spirit of drinking is refreshing. Although it is not as good as the top-grade cold food powder, the effect is not bad. Why don't you give me ten catties?"

Good guy, this cheek is really thick.

"Let's get down to business first."

Xie Shang looked solemn.

"It's not a secret, let's talk about it with the gentleman. Three days later, there will be a banquet, and I want to invite the gentleman to have a gathering."

"It's just a banquet, why is it so secretive just now?"

Xie Shang smiled wryly, and said: "If it was a banquet held by my family, I would not hide it, and I am confident that I will invite you to the banquet, but this banquet was not organized by my family, so it would be difficult for someone to invite you today. "

Do something for someone?

Once Zhao Yue's mind turned, he roughly understood the cause and effect of this matter.

"Could it be that the host of this banquet, like your Xie family, is in Bird Clothes Lane?"

Xie Shang looked at Zhao Yue and nodded slightly.

"Ha ha."

Zhao Yue sneered and said, "Since it's an invitation to a banquet, it's a matter of the host's invitation. Whether I go or not depends entirely on my own will. Why did I send you over?"

Xie Shang had a bitter look on his face, and said: "I have received favors from his family in the past, but today he has something to ask for, so I can only bite the bullet and come forward."

"If it were normal, I would still give Brother Ren Zu the face, but..."

Xie Shang showed an indifferent expression on his face, he waved his hand at Zhao Yue, and said: "Whether to go or not, it all depends on your will, you don't have to look at my thin face to do things against your will."

"Ah~"

Xie Shang sighed and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.

"This clear tea is good, but at this moment I want to use Dukang to relieve my worries. This tea is not as good as wine!"

Xie Shang sighed and said: "The current situation in the court is like this, so there is no need to repeat it. Langya Wang's invitation to Mr. Lang is nothing more than wrestling with the Yu family. Now Mr. Lang is on the side of the Yu family. If he rashly participated in the tour The banquet is bound to hurt the Yu family, and the Langya Wang family is just using the Lord, and has no relationship with the Lord, and even wants to snatch the princess."

"For my lord, going to this banquet will not only do no good, but will cause trouble to me."

This Xie Shang always thought of him, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably be moved by him.

However, Zhao Yue did not.

As a lobbyist, it is natural to complete your own tasks.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be arguing with Zhao Yue and grabbing the right to speak.

Now to show the enemy's weakness, a heartfelt and distressed script came directly.

I, Zhao Yue, believe in your ghost!
