Chapter 150 On the Economy with the Prince
To put it bluntly, Wang Shuwen has a great ambition but has no ability to match it. He has to turn the tide and turn the tide into a despair. Wang Shuwen obviously does not have such great ability.
There is also a lack of strong support. If Emperor Shunzong of Tang does not suffer a stroke, is paralyzed, and is in better health, Yongzhen's reform may not fail.
Because judging from the series of actions Li Chun made after regaining power from the eunuch, he was positive about many of the measures in Yongzhen's innovation.
Seeing that Li Song was ineffective, he didn't hurry to get the crown prince and convey his reform concept to the crown prince. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of Li Song's health and take the opportunity to take power on himself, but he was afraid that Li Song's health would not be able to hold on, so he tried to completely push the new policy away as quickly as possible.
This destined him to fail.
Just as Wei Renshi decided to stay away from Wang Shuwen, he heard Wang Shuwen laughing and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know. I have known Liu Yuxi, the supervisor of the Censorate. Liu Yuxi has always been acquainted with the Wei County man. He also said that Wei County man has many unique views on the current situation, and even he admires Wei County man very much."
"Oh?" Li Song was a little surprised, looked at Wei Renshi, and said, "This is amazing. It seems that Wei Sheng is indeed a talented person. In the future, Gu should be more in line with Wei Sheng."
Wang Shuwen laughed and looked at Wei Renshi.
He thought Wei Renshi would be grateful for his recommendation, but he saw that Wei Renshi's expression was normal and he could not see any emotions.
He heard Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan's evaluation of Wei Renshi was extremely high, and even Liu Zongyuan said something that would happen if he worked together. Although his words were always suspected of exaggerating, it also showed his affirmation of the two.
Therefore, we cannot be confused by his young appearance.
Thinking of this, Wang Shuwen said again: "I heard from Supervisor Liu that the Wei County men are proficient in the art of studying things and are very good at doing business. In more than half a year, they went from being penniless to being rich. The Wei County men offer two strategies for managing the land and are also good at doing business. It can be seen that they must be proficient in the two. I have always asked a question and hope to ask the Wei County men to explain it."
Wei Renshi frowned slightly but remained silent, and asked, "I dare not, Wang Shidu is still confused. How can the children in Yingkou have any insight?"
Wang Shuwen continued to say to himself: "I thought that the foundation of the country's dynasty was based on scholars, but if it was about things, it was about money and grain. Therefore, I asked: Money and grain are the foundation of the country, and they can reduce military taxes and control the city's savant. What do men in Wei County think?"
Money and food are the foundation of the country. Mastering it well can control military expenditure and taxes, and manipulate the market and scholars. That's what Wang Shuwen said.
It's not bad.
Food and money are the most basic needs for a country, for each household, or for everyone.
When this need is met, few people will choose to take risks to do things like rebellion or rebellion, and they will not be so easily encouraged by those who want to do those things.
In ancient times, farmers were the easiest group of people to satisfy. Not to mention some spare money, even if they eat enough, they would be willing to live their own life in peace.
For a country, money cannot do everything, but it is definitely the basis for doing everything.
"Shi Du Wang said it well." Wei Renshi nodded.
Wang Shuwen looked at Wei Renshi and heard what he said, obviously a little disappointed.
But I also feel that the boy in front of me is indeed an extraordinary person.
It is actually very obvious to those of them who are accustomed to observing their expressions and expressions.
However, Wang Shuwen was not worried that Wei Renshi would not say it. Because he knew that the prince would definitely be curious about his views.
Sure enough, Li Song asked with a smile: "Wei Sheng just said nothing, there is no one else here."
Since it was the prince’s question, Wei Renshi had to say it.
So he had to bow and answer: "Yes. Food is the most important thing for the people. I don't need to say much about the importance of food. Since ancient times, many people have caused trouble because they are not full, and there are clear evidence. I will just talk about the money."
"If money is given to one person, it is also possible to call money. If money is given to the country, the ministers will call it economics." Wei Renshi continued.
"Economic?" Everyone obviously doesn't understand this word very well.
Wei Renshi explained: "But it is not the meaning of saving the world during the times, but all activities and affairs related to wealth. Simply put, it is only wealth. It is not necessary to say much about how important wealth is to a person. The same is true for the court. To put it inappropriately, if a dynasty is rich enough to give all the people a few chunks of money per year, will the people under his rule still go to rebellion?"
"But naturally, no country or dynasty can do this. But from this we can see how important it is for the court to have wealth and use this wealth in a suitable place. With wealth, there is no need to pay extra taxes, and the people will naturally live and work in peace. With wealth, the army will no longer lack food and salary, and the soldiers will naturally work hard. With wealth, officials will have extremely high salaries, so they can live well without greed, and they will also reduce corruption... This is just a simple manifestation. Even with wealth and wealth far exceeding other countries, other countries can only bow their heads in front of this court, so they dare not be ungrateful."
Wei Renshi spoke in a modest tone.
Wang Shuwen naturally smiled gradually when he listened to Wei Renshi's words. Wei Renshi recognized his opinion, so he was naturally happy.
Li Song nodded first, then showed praise. When he heard Wei Renshi speak at the end, he turned into a look of surprise.
"If wealth exceeds other countries, can other countries be depressed and dare not be ungrateful?" Li Song asked in surprise: "What is this saying?"
"Let me give your highness an example." Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "If there are villagers Zhang San and Zhao Si's family now who are neighbors. Zhang San can only herd sheep and cattle, but she can't do anything next to her. He makes clothes, food, salt in food, quilts for sleeping... all daily necessities are needed and can only be exchanged from Zhao Si's family for the cattle raised. Then one day, Zhang San was dissatisfied with Zhao Si and said that your family occupied my land and I want to beat you up. Zhao Si said yes, come and fight. But I will never sell you anything again in the future. You will have no cloth, no food, no salt, no quilt... You will have nothing again. At this time, does Zhang San dare to attack Zhao Si?"
