I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 797

Zhao Xi did not specify the management of Liangshanbo's intensive fishery farm, but Zhao Qin followed the trip, and Fu Bi basically had the bottom line.Fu Bi was quite frank, he didn't hide anything, he made it clear to the cabinet what he saw, what the officials said, and what he wanted to do.

Therefore, the cabinet did not form any plan first, but when it was resting, there were more cruise ships going to Jeju in Bianliang...
So, the word spread like this.

All the projects that the officials are looking at seem to have not lost money... and the cruise ship moored at the Bianhe Wharf has also become famous at the same time.

That's it, it's impossible to tell which one was planned by the officials and which one was done with care, the cruise ship in the workshop city or the fishery farm in Liangshanbo.For a while, these two items became the hottest topics.

It even overshadowed the inspectors of the supervisory office.The three seem to have no connection, but people have to consider the connection.

Not to mention those ministers who went to Liangshanbo to bring back fat fish, just talk about Workshop City, once again there was a call for the sale of industries and crafts.Compared with Liangshan Park, which may be monopolized, any merchant, any state capital, any family and ministers may get a share of the craftsmanship of Workshop City.

As a result, Workshop City held the second auction of craftsmanship and industrial technology.

The scale this time is by no means comparable to the first time.Let me talk about the influence first. For the first time, various craft industries spread all over the country, and the rich and powerful forces in any prefecture, county, and county of the country can see the soaring wealth.

It is precisely because of this that more and more wealthy people in the country are coming, and more people are participating in the competition... No one wants to be a leader, not a participant.

Similarly, the development of Guochao's industry in recent years has also made Guochao's farmers no longer pure farmers, and they no longer live only by harvesting the fields.

Get rich first and get rich later, and everyone gets rich together.Although Zhao Xi didn't shout such a slogan, in fact this is indeed the situation.Besides, in today's society, there is no such thing as equalization, and the times do not allow Zhao Xi to do so ahead of time.

Although the Song Dynasty is different from the previous dynasty in some respects, it did not use Jinyi and commoner clothes to define the common people and the nobles, but also because of the imperial examination, the gap between the common people and the nobles was diluted, and the Song Dynasty emphasized business, and the status of merchants has improved, etc. .But in fact, there is still a difference between nobles and commoners, they are just named as nobles.

However, the idea of ​​saving sentient beings is not yet the mainstream consciousness of the country.Zhao Xi did not intentionally guide this consciousness... Social progress has its own laws, and it does not depend on people's will.

"Officials, I don't understand something. Although the officials are out of the palace to visit the people, the old officials think that the officials will focus on farming and mulberry in the next few years. Why let the workshop city sell new industrial technologies and crafts again?"

"In the past ten years, the country's industry has developed rapidly, and private wealth has accumulated a lot. The old minister has paid attention to the report of the Royal Bank. Last year, the money and food exchanges between the people of the country and the country were almost equivalent to more than ten years in the Qing Dynasty. The annual court tax revenue."

"Such a situation can easily cause the people of the country to prefer industry, and thus lose enthusiasm for farming... Although Annan has waited for the food supply to be satisfied, judging from the current chaotic situation in Annan, it is bound to It will affect the food supply of the country. Whether it is appropriate for the court to emphasize business and neglect agriculture, I hope the officials can clarify..."

Fu Bi has now completely regarded himself as a counselor in a old man's home.For the affairs of the imperial court, the cabinet performs its own duties, but the first responsibility he wants to hand over to Wang Anshi intentionally or unintentionally.In his view, this time the cabinet retreated to the old man's house, and only Wang Anshi and Lu Gong's works remained in office, and Lu Gong's works were to succeed Lu Gongbi who had retired from illness, and his qualifications were still young.

Zhao Xi didn't say anything about Fu Bi's behavior, and it didn't matter to see Wang Anshi's performance.But regarding Fu Bi's question... Fu Bi is really thinking about Da Song, rather than being fascinated by the new industrial technology and craftsmanship of the workshop city.

"No work, no prosperity, no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth, no army, no strength! Wealthy ministers, as long as they support a powerful dynasty, any one of them is indispensable."

"The new industrial technology and craftsmanship changed the original industry scale of the Song Dynasty, and also created wealth. Because of wealth, the imperial court had the basis to implement various measures. Therefore, it can not mind redundant soldiers or redundant officials. , because all will become rigid demands.”

"The reason why I left the palace was indeed for farming. However, emphasizing farming does not mean that we must relax industrial development. On the contrary, for farming, industrial development should be vigorously promoted..."

It's true that Fu Bi is an elite, but he still couldn't understand Zhao Xi's argument thoroughly, and was even a little confused.Yes, this is the limitation of the times.

Zhao Xi paused, giving Fu Bi time to think.Zhao Xi didn't expect Fu Bi to figure it out, the more he thought about it, the easier it would be for him to accept the point of view.

"Fu Xiang, I asked "Shi Lun" to conduct a survey, which is to investigate the thoughts of the wealthy people in the country. Dare I ask Fu Xiang, what do the merchants and even the scholars of the Song Dynasty want to do after they have huge wealth? thing?"

What do you most want to do?Fu Bi is a little confused, what the merchants and nobles want to do is not consistent with the guidance of the court, wait a minute...
"What the officials mean is that the purpose of selling new industrial technologies and crafts in the workshop city is to collect private wealth into the imperial court?"

That's what I said!Is it that dark?However, Fu Bi said this, which made Zhao Xi very embarrassed.

The workshop city sells industrial technology and crafts, and to a certain extent, the wealth accumulated by the people can indeed be returned to the court in a short period of time.In later generations, those who use advanced technology will always be the richest.

"Wealth, farming is not only related to wealth..."

"I still hope the officials will advise."

Fu Bi really didn't want to understand.

"Fuxiang, what is the biggest problem I found when I went out of the palace for a private visit?"

"Insufficient labor, little effort to open up wasteland, limited increase in cultivated land, uneven local officials and so on."

"Fuxiang, the real reason is the concentration of fields, or the hidden danger of land mergers. The reason why I let the workshop city sell industrial technology and crafts is not to let the folk wealth return, but more importantly, to guide the flow of wealth... "..."

"The rich may not know. According to the survey of "Shi Lun", almost [-]% of the wealthy people's first choice for disposing of spare money is to buy land... and the number of tenants is difficult to continue under the current system of the imperial court. Increase, because after the problem of survival is solved, people will stick to the ownership of the land.”

"Therefore, guiding the flow of folk money and grain, and concentrating the spare money and grain of the folk on industrial expansion can promote farming in itself. Because the excessive concentration of fields makes it difficult to take care of them carefully, because of insufficient labor, the possibility of barren fields Sex will increase..."

From the perspective of development, Zhao Xi also feels that he cannot fully understand what kind of impact and results such measures will lead to.In the complexity of society, the so-called workers and peasants are not separated.
