Chapter 1527 Economics
Gai Libo recalled that battle with a look of fear in his eyes: "Huan Nan, Sanda was secretly assisted by the Liao people, and the army was strong. In order to boost morale, I bare my sleeves, bowed my bow, and raised my sword.
Fly the flag three times, beat the drum three times, then abandon the flag and fight as a vanguard."
"After a long and fierce battle, we fought hard from behind and were defeated. In that battle, from Abu Bay to Bei Aidian, the dead were like servants, and they were red with water spitting out. Looking back at the battlefield, the horses galloped.
, trampling on a wide and thirty-long road!"
"But I hate it! Those who are attacking each other are all brothers and clansmen of my Wanyan tribe! They are all brothers who hunted together in the mountains and dug ginseng and hunted animals together when I was young!"
"After that battle, I turned over and surrendered to the Liao, but from that time on, I never believed in the Liao people again!"
"After that, I defeated the Lu tribe, the Pucha tribe, the Ole tribe, the Lafen tribe, and the Ma production tribe, and offered them all to Liao."
"The Liao people sent all the tribes back to me to rule, but they have one request, which is to send troops to destroy the wooden city where Wuchun and Womouhan are entrenched."
"After destroying the wooden city, the Liao envoy asked me to destroy the Ashu city where the impeacher was still stationed."
"When Ashu was defeated, the Liao Kingdom replaced Yi Lie, the envoy of Xi Jiedu, and said that the impeachers had surrendered to the Liao Kingdom. They also asked us to take whatever we captured from attacking the city, and those who survived should be taken back, and those who did not survive should be spared.
Pay! And you want to conquer hundreds of horses from my tribe!"
"I thought that if I paid Ashu, the tribes would no longer be able to give orders and envoys. Instead, I ordered the Lord Kuma and the people of Baldhui River to pretend to block the Eagle Road. I sent the envoy to Liao again and said: 'If you want to open the Eagle Road, you will not be born.
It is not possible for women to be straight.'"

"The Liao people didn't know what they were planning, so they ordered us to attack those who blocked Ying's road, and the matter in Ashu City was stopped."
"Jiedu, this is how the Liao people treated us. From that time on, while hiding our strength, our army conquered and subdued surrounding tribes in an effort to recover."
"But the oppression of the Liao people is really cruel. In addition, the weather has been difficult and difficult in recent years. We need food, medicine, and weapons from the Song Dynasty. We are willing to exchange fairly!"
After saying that, he took out a skin bag from his arms and shook it out. It was filled with gold dust: "We don't make too many demands. We only ask that we be given a fair trade opportunity. We will no longer be choked by the Liao people and have to beg hard to survive."
A chance to survive!"
"Our products can originally support us. The value of ginseng, mink skin, and sea green. The tribesmen who were lucky enough to go to the island all told us that they were all plundered by the Liao people!"
After speaking, Hai Dongqing pointed at the splendid horse: "I don't know how much such a handsome bird is worth in Bianjing City, but even on this island, it is worth at least five thousand guan!"
"Five thousand guan, converted into food, is enough to feed my people for a year! But what did the Liao people give us?!"
"In exchange for five birds like this, they enter their market, cry and beg, make a disgusting fool of themselves, and make their nobles feel comfortable, so that they can occasionally give charity!"
"Guanren, we also want to live like human beings!"
…
In July, Xin Mao, the court began to discuss three major events.
The first thing is that Fan Chunren believes that the foundation of the country and the world should not be abandoned in good years. On the contrary, he should take advantage of the good years to establish the method of collecting and dispersing money and grain to make money.
Many sensitive courtiers saw the shadow of Qingmiao Law by borrowing money from ordinary people, and they all thought it was unacceptable.
However, Sima Guang wrote in a post in reply to Tai's remonstrance: "The purpose of dispersing young crops in the court first is to benefit the people, and to obtain the will. Later, when promoting officials, we must see merit quickly and ensure that they are dispersed more. Now it is forbidden to suppress mating, which is harmless."
.”
It means that the original fundamental purpose of the Green Crops Law was to benefit the people. At that time, the people may have volunteered, but it was only because the officials who promoted the affairs later wanted political achievements and therefore sought more loans, which led to problems. Now as long as officials are prohibited from forcing apportionment, it will naturally
There will be no harm done.
Su Shi wrote: "Xining's method cannot help suppressing the match, but this is the end of the harm. People live within their means, even if they are poor, it is enough; if they get extra money, they will spend a lot of money."
"The reason why people are willing to do this now is to try to ignore the people and make them useful for a while without considering the danger of recruiting people in the future. This is not a good law."
In fact, by referring to the campus loan turmoil in later generations, we can understand that Su Shi was very prescient.
Su You once told the court this truth countless times, but his voice was too soft and his words were euphemistic, so no one listened.
This time it was different. Su You returned to Beijing to see Sima Guang and once again reiterated that this method was absolutely unfeasible, and even stated that "it is a crime to lend money to those who are unable to repay."
What they need is relief and immigration, not some kind of loan!
Sima Guang was already in bed, but after Su You's explanation, he discovered the huge loophole in this method. He asked Su You to help him force himself into the court, and said in front of the curtain: "What a treacherous act, please your majesty to do this again!"
The two of them didn't know it was Fan Chunren's idea, and they both thought it was Zeng Bu. When Su You saw Fan Chunren, his face turned pale, and he secretly stepped back and lowered his head without saying a word, then they realized that both he and Sima Guang had misjudged.
Su You quickly interrupted: "There are also specialties in economics, but not many people in the government are familiar with them nowadays."
"But fortunately, Mr. Lu's system of collective discussion allows everyone to speak freely, and even a clumsy plan can be rectified by extensive thinking."
"Sima Gong regarded it as a treacherous evil, but I thought it was too much. However, officials above the two systems of the DPRK and China should read Anshi Xianggong's "Economic Theory" and Zhang Gong's "Financial Theory"."
"I have read the Taoist memorial, and there is a statement in it that is very correct, that is, the use of the state is the foundation of the world."
"After Qingli, power was controlled by Liu's relatives, and the state's taxable land was reduced by half, which has affected the country's foundation."
"I think that if Emperor Zhenzong knew the danger, he would definitely fail. I don't know why it happened."
"I still have the same opinion. Now that the autumn harvest is in sight and the situation is urgent, we should cut out the complex and simplify it, so that all roads can still be implemented according to the law. The money for young crops should be given up. The main function of Changpingcang is still to control the price of grain. If we want to grow,
It also needs to wait until the disaster recovery warehouse is separated, and then allocate another warehouse independently for implementation."
"Old debts due to young crops will be deducted at the discretion of the household, and all debts below the fifth and fourth grades will be exempted. Old debts of the third and fourth grades will be exempted with 2% interest, and the first and second grades will remain as before."
"The capital of the yuan branch will be paid in three installments along with the second tax."
Gao Tao said: "What do you think of Situ's proposal at the Ministry of Revenue?"
Li Chang couldn't tell what was good or bad, so he cleverly changed the subject: "I have also been studying the original three-level system recently and discovered a major flaw in our court officials."
"oh?"
Li Chang bowed and said: "In my dynasty, most of the people who won the imperial examination were not good at economics. Among those who have been praised as capable in the past dynasties, there is no one like Zhang Fangping."
"The next ones are Zhao Pian and Xue Xiang, who have established a little bit. Tang Jie and Bao Zheng, who are loyal and self-defended."
"The rest are mostly entrusted to subordinate staff and they don't understand the purpose."
"I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to order the Ministry of Household Affairs to record the "Xifeng Accounting and Statistical Regulations" and make it a legal essential, so that the successors can know the outline of the national regulations."
Gao Taotao asked from behind the curtain: "Then who will do this?"
Everyone looked at Su You. What the Empress Dowager said was unnecessary. Su Situ, the biggest money-spreader in the dynasty, is here!
For a time, many terms such as macro and micro, static and dynamic, structure and unit, symmetry and development, material and knowledge, price and value, norms and management, logic and history, etc. appeared in Su You's mind. At least,
, including economic objects, properties, methods, structures, essences, functions, meanings and many other aspects.
This is already a concept in economics, and it is also something that Su You wants to set up an economics school to study specifically. For a while, he was thinking about it, and he was stunned.
Then Gao Taotao asked: "Situ? Situ?"
Su Yuanzhen, the imperial censor, was also present. He coughed before Su Youxing turned around and quickly bowed: "I just thought of a topic, so I'm rude."
Gao Taotao smiled: "Situ has stayed in the university hall for a long time. I think he has gained something recently. Please tell us about it."
What I just thought about is really profound. Don't expect the people in the palace to understand it for a while. On the contrary, the set in Wang Anshi's "Economic Theory" is more suitable as a teaching material.
