Chapter 333: The Way to Govern the Country

"I want to hear the truth!"

Wang Fu glanced at Jiang Chen with an upset face and said, "I dare to ask Jiang Shaoqing, if the population grows sharply as the dynasty continues, and when officials have no salary to support and food production is not enough to live, how can you rescue them?"

Of course it has expanded outwardly!

Jiang Chen curled his lips, knowing that this sentence would definitely be criticized to death by the Northern Song Dynasty officials who said it from outside and from inside, and said lightly: "It's not allowed that day to come!"

"How different are you saying this to fart?"

Wang Fu looked contemptuous and directly cursed people with revenge.

Kong Duanyou sneered: "How can we avoid that day? Do we control the population? If you want to say this, it would be a bit of a show of success and sensationalism!"

"No, it's still far from that day! What the officials want to say is to abolish Confucianism and reappear the grand occasion of the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought!

Change the art of fooling the people and the poor to the way to strengthen the people and enrich the people!”

Jiang Chen said with a sigh.

"Jiang Chen! Did our Confucius family throw away your family's ancestral grave? Why did we want to abolish Confucianism and belittle our holy gate?"

Kong Duanyou was so angry that he jumped up and scolded, saying hatefully: "Who will cultivate the land when the people are rich? What do we eat? How can we still obey the saints' education when the people become stronger? Let us drive it?

If you do what you do, you don’t have to wait until the day when there is not enough food, the world will be in chaos! It’s simply nonsense!”

When Jiang Chen heard this, he was angry and said coldly: "Friend Kong Duan, have you ever seen the people under the rule of strengthening the people and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that are full of flowers? You have never even seen them, so how dare you deny them so easily?"

"I don't need to know, because such a dynasty is simply impossible to exist.

The art of controlling the people is the kingly learning summarized by ancestors and saints with their hard work. There will definitely be no mistakes! You have only eaten rice for a few years, and you dare to talk about governing the country? It's ridiculous!"

Kong Duanyou glanced at Jiang Chen with great contempt.

"Ha! Is it that I am ridiculous, or are you pedantic and ignorant?

At the beginning, you said that the sketching skills never existed! Later, you forgot the mistakes that you admitted to the official family so quickly?" Jiang Chen's face was full of mockery.

"you……"

Kong Duanyou was so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he was directly embarrassed.

"What are you? You know that Confucianism will inevitably destroy the dynasty in the end, but you still look like the best Confucianism in the world all day long. You don't know how to adapt and don't want to improve. You're simply a frog in the well!"

After Jiang Chen said that, he said coldly to Kong Duanyou, who was so angry that his eyes turned blue:

"Yuqing Villa implements the way to enrich the people and strengthen the people in the heavenly books taught by the officials. But after the people become rich and strong, they are not lazy or disobey discipline.

On the contrary, they worked harder than before, worked harder and harder than before, and their respect for the officials was even more engraved into their bones.

Why is this? Is this what you call the chaos of people and people’s wealth? I dare to ask Yan Shenggong, where is the chaos?

If all the people in the world are like this, will Fang La dare to rebel? If he dares to say no to the official family in Yuqing Villa, he will be dismembered by Wuma in the next breath?"

"Haha, not bad! I believe this!"

Song Huizong smiled complacently, and the scene of Fang La being dismembered by five horses of the Jimin Army appeared in his mind, and he felt relieved.

Kong Duanyou was asked and said unconvincedly: "The wealth and food in the world are fixed. If the people in the world are as rich as the people of Yuqing Villa, where can they get so much money?

Are you going to share the wealth of the treasury and the officials of our clan to the people?”

"kindness?"

When all the officials heard this, some looked alert to Jiang Chen, while others nodded thoughtfully.

Song Huizong couldn't help but frown, thinking that Kong Duanyou's words were fine.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen felt tired for no reason and shook his head and sighed: "Who told you that the wealth and food in the world are fixed? Is your Saint Kong?"

“Isn’t it?

Could it be that more than one piece of land in the world can grow?"

Kong Duanyou shouted angrily, while all officials looked confused.

"Of course not!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and explained: "What is food? Chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, fruits and vegetables can all be called food.

Take Yuqing Villa for example. If the people are rich, in addition to helping the Royal Chamber of Commerce raise chickens and pigs, they also have to raise more than a dozen chickens and ducks, and even pigs. In this way, will there be more food in the world?"

"It sounds like something makes sense!"

He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong and others' eyes lit up. They nodded in agreement and asked, "What about the theory of wealth?"

"Wealth is just a tool for bartering! The value of it and whether it has value is given by people!"

Jiang Chen's words were amazing, and he saw that many people seemed to understand.

He sighed secretly and said, "Just just now, Lord Kong was worried that the people would lose the wealth we were. In fact, this was simply a worry.

The people of Yuqing Villa are rich, who can they share their property?

No!

They have a wealth of food and clothing and have a stable place. They don’t have to worry about the future, so they buy food, drink, clothing, cloth, and even go to buy tickets to watch dramas.

Not only did it make the merchants make a fortune, but it also created a large amount of output and tax revenue for the court. I believe that Shangshu Wang knew this best? You, the people from the Ministry of Revenue, were very diligent in collecting taxes!"

As Jiang Chen spoke, he looked at Wang Fu with a smile.

Um-

Wang Fu glanced at Jiang Chen with dislike and turned his head and was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Seeing this, everyone was convinced of the matter.

This made Kong Duanyou look unacceptable and frowned and asked, "According to what you say, the people have money, merchants have made money, and the treasury has increased taxes. Who has less money?"

"Yes, this makes no sense!" Wang Fu turned his head quickly.

"No one has a lot of money! It's just that the currency is in circulation!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Why did there be a lot of money before? Is it because I, the Song Dynasty, lacking money? No!

All the money was buried in the cellar by wealthy officials and businessmen, and they were hidden. The only people who had no money were the people. This led to various financial crises!"

"Yeah, that's right, it's true!"

Song Huizong, Zheng Juzhong and others nodded in agreement and urged: "Liangchen, continue to talk."

"yes!"

Jiang Chen agreed and continued:

“If the people are as rich as Yuqing Villa, they will buy all kinds of items from merchants to improve their lives;

When merchants make money, they will increase the purchase of raw materials and hire more people.

In this way, the aristocratic families who mastered the raw materials also made money, and more people also found a livelihood.

The tax revenue of the imperial court naturally increased. We would give officials more subsidies to reduce taxes to the people.

The lives of officials and the people will get better and better, and the purchasing power will get stronger and stronger. This cycle will be a prosperous era under the path of enriching the people and strengthening the people!”

"This...it sounds very reasonable, but I always feel something is wrong."
