Chapter 1022 I am humble and dare not forget to worry about the country
When the weather is cold, Ah Fu likes to sit under the eaves, but he must hold something in his hand, otherwise he feels uncomfortable.
Click!
Bamboo is easily torn under the huge bite force, chew a few times.
Um!
Definitely want it!
Ah Fu lazily ate the bamboo, and the old turtle was at his feet, not daring to move. Since DouDou found out that it likes to steal things last time, Ah Fu has taken over the heavy responsibility of discipline.
"Ah Fu!"
Doudou ran out, saw the old turtle lying there obediently, and said with a straight face: "Do you dare next time?"
Old Gui couldn't answer, he just shrank his neck.
DouDou sat on the threshold, put his hands on his chin and asked, "Ah Fu, is your brother still out of school?"
Chirp!
Ah Fu paused to eat.
Doudou sighed, "I miss my elder brother."
"Sister!"
Jia Hong came, and the little fat man ran up and swayed from side to side, his face was always smiling and beaming.
"Erlang, let's climb a tree."
DouDou's eyes lit up.
Jia Hong nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay!"
Jia Dong also came, looking deserted.
"Will Saburo go?"
Doudou looks like a big sister.
Jia Dong shook his head, "It will be a loss."
ha!
DouDou led Jia Hong away with his head held high.
Jia Hong said: "Sanlang, you are talking nonsense."
Jia Dong turned around, "If you don't believe me, I'll go and have a look."
The three found a tree.
"Do you see it?"
DouDou pointed to the tree trunk, "Climb there today."
Jia Hong hummed honestly, and then crawled while hugging the tree trunk. But how could he climb up like a brat.
"I'll help you!"
Doudou lifted his **** up.
"Who's there?"
Yunzhang came over, DouDou immediately hugged Jia Hong.
"Erlang, I told you not to climb trees, but you never listened."
Later, the three children arrived in front of the two hostesses.
"Why did Erlang climb a tree?"
Wei Wushuang had a serious face.
Jia Hong said honestly: "It's fun."
Jia Dong glanced at him.
"You will be fined five times tomorrow."
Jia Hong had a bitter face, "Mother..."
"Aye is useless!"
Wei Wushuang was very annoyed.
The three children went out immediately.
Jia Hong sobbed, "I'm so wronged."
Jia Dong said coldly: "I told you that I don't believe it."
DouDou comforted immediately, "I'll give you delicious food later."
Jia Hong was immediately happy, and clapped his hands: "Hello, sister."
Jia Dong pouted.
Food was delivered later.
"tasty!"
Jia Hong chewed hard, but couldn't chew.
"It's dried meat, my mother likes to eat it the most, and I have taken a lot."
Doudou gave Jia Dong a piece, and Jia Dong glanced suspiciously, "What kind of meat is this?"
"It seems to be from Tubo. Aye specially found some beef jerky for A Niang."
Three children sat side by side on the threshold eating jerky.
"Brother!"
Jia Yu came back with his schoolbag on his back.
"Um."
After meeting with his siblings, Jia Yu entered the room.
"How is Da Lang doing today?"
Wei Wushuang felt more and more like the mentality of an old mother that her husband said.
"fine."
Jia Yu said: "Today, the school is talking about the cloth war in the East and West Markets, saying that Aye carried the coffin into battle, but is that so?"
If you run out of those cloths, no one will be able to plug that big hole.
Wei Wushuang asked: "You, Aye, are willing to do this for the sake of the people and the world."
Jia Yu said: "Many classmates in the school said that Aye was tragic. They all said that they would persuade their families not to buy those cheap cloths when they returned home. The grandson of Lu Guogong also said that he would go home and persuade his family not to participate."
Wei Wushuang sighed softly, "Everyone has his own ambitions, we are not the same people."
Cheng Zhijie's wife is from Qinghe Cui family.
Cui Shi is still the backbone in this battle.
Su Ho asked: "Is Da Lang worried?"
Jia Yu nodded.
Jia Ping'an just arrived at the door.
Jia Yu said: "I'm worried about Aye, but when those classmates mentioned Aye today, they all admired Aye, and I suddenly felt proud."
When young, parents are the pride and dependence of their children. After old age, children are the pride and dependence of their parents, and this is a cycle.
After dinner, Jia Pingan went to the front yard.
"A lot of news has been collected today."
Di Renjie took out a piece of paper, and Wang Bo stood behind him.
"The matter of the silver coins shocked those aristocratic families. At first they wanted to cut the price by 20% and sell most of the cloth in the house, but you were in Dongshi, and you gradually lowered the price to 50%. savings, but it’s a lose-lose situation.”
Di Renjie raised his head, "Someone said that they want you to die without a burial place, and you will be left with a bad name forever."
Jia Pingan laughed, "They still think that history is written by themselves, and they can refer to a stag as a horse, or black as white? Thinking too much."
Wang Bo asked: "Sir, why did they sell?"
"This question involves a lot." Jia Pingan also took the opportunity to teach a lesson.
"Sir, wait."
Zhao Yan is here.
This is worrying me, so take a look.
Jia Pingan felt warm in his heart, "Speaking of this, it involves the income composition of those families. Whether they are nobles, powerful families, or powerful, most of their wealth comes from land, followed by business and so on."
"The tenant farmers and hermits cultivated the fields for them, and all the taxes that should have been paid to the court were handed over to them. These taxes included food and cloth."
"Cloth is used as currency... Zhao Yan told Zi'an about it."
It feels good for a disciple to do his best for something.
This is teaching art on behalf of a teacher... Wang Bo is a little awkward.
"From the original intention of the court, it is natural to hope to use gold, silver and copper as currency, but in reality there is a shortage of gold and silver, and copper is also scarce. In the huge country of the Tang Dynasty, you have to ask for copper coins to buy and sell the grain you grow? Firewood, rice, oil and salt We need copper coins, right? Including spending in court, we also need copper coins... But the Tang Dynasty lacked copper, which caused the problem of insufficient coins on the market."
What Zhao Yan said was very simple, which made Di Renjie quite appreciative.
"The combination of a country's population and productivity is the market, and how much money this market needs comes from this. Datang's copper coins are obviously not enough to satisfy this market, so cloth and other things are transformed into currency."
Jia Ping’an added: “That’s money shortage.”
Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Exactly. I said earlier that I found the Silver Mountain, but it can be said that no one believed it without seeing the real gold and silver. But when the silver coins came out, everyone believed it."
Wang Bo was puzzled, "Why?"
Zhao Yan said: "For the first time, 50,000 coins were minted. If you think about it, if the follow-up is gone, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of Your Majesty and the court. Therefore, there is only one possibility for the court to mint coins, and that is that the Yinshan is real. , and produce a lot every year.”
Boy!
Di Renjie praised unabashedly: "Ping An, you are a disciple that I am so envious of!"
Jia Pingan took his own small teapot and took a sip comfortably, "Take it yourself!"
Zhao Yan smiled shyly, "Those people have counted in this situation, so naturally cloth and other things will depreciate in value."
Wang Bo suddenly thought of something, "There are more silver coins, and there is no shortage of money in the market, so the cloth and other things will naturally return to their original functions...to make clothes."
"Yes." Zhao Yan thinks this little junior is pretty good, "The price of cloth will drop in this way. You have to know that the amount of cloth in their hands, whether it is the court or the gentry, is frightening. If the price of cloth falls, the price of cloth in their hands will Wealth will shrink. What's more terrible is that the cloth cannot be used as money, and the huge amount of cloth stored in their home cannot be sold, which is what they fear."
"There are only so many people in the world, and only so many clothes are made every year. Who can they sell their cloth to?"
Zhao Yan said: "So they need to lower the price and sell it as soon as possible. But Mr. sits in the East Market and keeps lowering the price, breaking their dream of selling... Either the ultra-low price will suffer a big loss, or they will be out."
Wang Bo was silent, and said later: "They are well-informed and know a lot of news that the common people don't know. In this way, they are deceiving the common people and want to pass on their losses to the common people. Sir, their wealth is huge, and cloth is just one of them. That’s all, even if it’s a loss, it’s not a bone injury, why pass it on to the people? Why are you so greedy?”
He was a little at a loss, "Most of those aristocratic families have inherited family studies, and the foundation of family studies is mostly Confucianism. Aren't those taught by Confucianism gentlemen? Why are they still so greedy?"
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, thinking that the younger brother was too naive, "Zian, you are a little naive. The so-called edification of Confucianism is useful, but human nature is evil, and being a gentleman is just because the temptation is not enough. Ten money and a hundred dollars can naturally become a gentleman, but you can put it in front of you." When you have ten thousand and one hundred thousand renminbi, how many people can be a gentleman?"
"Human nature cannot be tested." Jia Pingan concluded.
Wang Bo was a little disappointed, "That is to say, Confucianism that keeps saying that you are a gentleman, but in fact it just gave yourself a mask?"
This summary is in place.
Zhao Yan nodded, "Xinxue believes that in order to maintain social morality, edification is essential, but more needs to be the example of parents and teachers. The last is the law. The law is more important than edification and example. With the law as a deterrent, What should be done and what should not be done are naturally clear at a glance. Use the law to guide morality, and use morality to feed back the law, so that the world will be ruled."
Wang Bo asked after saluting, "What about the village elders and village sages?"
Jia Pingan said: "The so-called village elders and village sages will eventually evolve into village tyrants and tyrants. Zi'an, you have to know that human nature is greedy, and village elders and village sages hold such power. Will they think about cashing in? It is to turn power into money, into one's own power."
Wang Bo was stunned.
Di Renjie said with a smile: "When a person is famous, he will have money. Fame and fortune are linked together. That's the reason."
Zhao Yan said worriedly: "Sir, someone stopped me on the way back earlier and asked me to tell sir..."
"What words?"
Jia Ping'an is still calm.
Zhao Yan said: "They said that if the husband is stubborn, beware of retribution from descendants."
Di Renjie changed his color and angrily scolded: "Shameless! Those aristocratic families have been around for hundreds of years and have already been deeply rooted. If the Jia family declines in a hundred years, they will take revenge! Bitch!"
Di Renjie even swears.
Wang Bo changed color, "How shameless are they!"
Jia Pingan said: "It means that this made them hurt. It hurts deeply."
Family wealth was almost cut in half, and those gentlemen were in pain.
"That's why I don't like Confucianism. Confucianism has an air of being a gentleman. It tells you from the inside out that if you learn Confucianism, you are a gentleman... But as I said, there is no gentleman in the world. If there is, then it must be a gentleman. You are a hypocrite. The more you emphasize yourself as a gentleman, the more hypocrites you will eventually become."
Jia Ping'an said: "In the eyes of those noblemen, they are gods, while others are pigs and dogs."
This is a hidden caste system!
The aristocratic family is endless and high above. The people are struggling below, creating wealth for them. Therefore, they are the defenders of class solidification. Whoever dares to open a hole for class flow to the bottom is their life and death enemy!
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "Sir, this is the enemy of life and death, how should we deal with it?"
Wang Bo looked at Jia Pingan nervously.
Di Renjie's face turned red, and he was extremely angry.
Jia Ping'an said: "Let them be heartbroken!"
…
"Jia Ping'an should know the weight of that warning."
"yes."
"My family has lasted for hundreds of years, so it will definitely continue to prosper, and the Jia family is not even considered a poor family. If Jia Pingan's generation can stand up to it, what will happen to the next generation?"
"Tomorrow! If it is still like this tomorrow, do you want to stop selling?"
"No, once it stops, the court will have silver as a subsidy, and the price of cloth will lose its role as currency, and it will only drop in price step by step. When will the huge amount of cloth in our family be sold out?"
"In the end, it rotted and no one bought it!"
"Yes, there will be less room for cloth in the future."
"Throw!"
…
On the second day, Jia Pingan went to the Ministry of War first.
"Meet the Duke!"
"Meet the Duke!"
Those officials saluted seriously.
Chen Jinfa came over and said in a low voice: "Duke, many officials in the Ministry of War said they support you yesterday."
Those eyes are full of firmness.
"I've never felt so safe."
Jia Pingan smiled and nodded.
When he arrived at the duty room, Wu Kui waited outside. After seeing him, he saluted and raised his head and said, "The Duke is so brave."
Wang Xuan was on the side, saluting with a smile.
Wu Kui glanced at him, "However, the lower officials were unwilling to let others down. Just before, the lower officials ordered the family members to collect all the cloth in the house, and send it to the Duke's office when the market opens at noon, and leave it to the Duke to dispose of."
Jia Ping'an was silent.
A small official came in and said loudly after saluting: "Don't worry, my lord, I waited for my colleagues in the military department to discuss yesterday, and all the cloth at home has been collected today. My colleagues asked me to tell the lord, even if it is free!"
Looking at the blushing face of the little official, Jia Pingan said softly: "I am so humble that I dare not forget to worry about the country."
It is these people who uphold the great righteousness, which supported the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty that future generations will talk about.
"good!"
Jia Pingan nodded.
…
Household Department.
"Those people have sinister intentions. They throw away the cloth, but the people take the hot potato. They lose a little, but the people have to lose a lot. If they can lose, the people only have that little property... Can they lose? They don't worry about the ruin of the people's families. ?”
An official said angrily: "They don't worry, because in their eyes they are gods, and those people, including me, are all animals, pigs and dogs!"
"They don't even look down on the royal family!"
A small official mentioned a past event that made the royal family feel humiliated.
The gentry even look down on the royal family Li!
Not to mention those officials and people.
Dou Dexuan came out, and said with a straight face: "Why is everyone carrying a big burden?"
Today, most of the officials in the household department carry burdens, some are small and some are big.
An official said: "Shang Shu, this is the cloth in our house, please just deal with it."
"What disposition..."
Dou Dexuan froze for a moment.
The officials put the burden on the ground and opened it immediately.
It's all cloth and satin.
Dou Dexuan blinked his eyes, "I'm old, why can't these eyes withstand the wind..."
He turned around and wiped away his old tears embarrassingly.
"So this world is not their world!"
Not just in the household department.
Yesterday's battle can be said to have swept across the entire city of Chang'an.
All six films are performing this scene.
The cloth was sent outside the gate, gradually piling up like a mountain.
Wang Xuan came out of the Ministry of War and hurriedly looked for his followers, "You quickly went to find your family members and told them that the Ministry of War has procured a lot of cloth."
The follower stared blankly at the side.
Wang Xuan turned around slowly.
The streets of the imperial city are very spacious.
At the moment, it is a bit narrow.
Just on both sides of the road, cloth piled up like a mountain, spreading all the way.
…
"Today will be a big battle."
The prince muttered, "I don't want to study today, so I have to ask Aye, Niang, to go out of the palace to see my uncle."
Zeng Xianglin smiled and said: "Yesterday, it was said that Zhao Guogong fought with those gentry people, and there was no winner."
Li Hong went to the empress's place without having breakfast.
The empress is eating.
"Is Goro ready for breakfast?"
Li Zhi put down his chopsticks.
Li Hong shook his head, "Aye, I want to visit my uncle."
Li Zhi got up and said: "In the past, when I taught you the learning of emperors, the aristocratic family was the most important thing, but thousands of words are not as good as the current situation, go."
Wu Mei said: "Wu Lang wants to see how the aristocratic family influences Datang, see the huge power they hide underneath, and even try to figure out how such a family aristocratic royal family should deal with it..."
Li Zhi said: "When the first emperor was here, he could only put these things aside and let them be proud."
"Colossal, irresistible."
Wu Mei shook her head.
Huge, irresistible…
With this concept in mind, Li Hong prepares to leave the palace.
Guards are necessary, and because today is going to Dongshi, more guards should bring more.
All the way out of Miyagi.
Li Hong rubbed his eyes, "What is that?"
He walked over slowly.
"It's cloth!"
"Where did it come from?"
Someone went to the side to ask, and happened to meet Li Jingye.
Several officials unwrapped the bundles they were carrying and put the cloth on top.
Li Hong walked over and asked, "What are you waiting for?"
Several officials saw that it was the crown prince, and hurriedly saluted. One of them said: "Your Highness, this is the cloth brought from home, and it will be disposed of by Duke Zhao today."
Li Hong was shocked, "Why?"
The man smiled and said, "I'm not used to it."
Li Hong was taken aback for a moment, and Li Jingye came over.
"His Royal Highness is going to Dongshi? I happen to be going too."
Li Hong walked silently in the imperial city, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you get used to it?"
The attendant beside him was silent for a moment, and said: "I also heard about the great battle yesterday, and everyone in the family saw it. When I came home, my wife said... Seeing those nobles selling cloth proudly, while Zhao Guogong looked at the precarious situation. ...there is the gentry over there, and the Great Tang is here. If Duke Zhao loses, the gentry will be even more proud. If the gentry is proud, the Tang will definitely be frustrated."
In front was Wang Xuan, and the attendant raised his head and cast contemptuous glances, "People say that the luck of the country is the luck of the family. Although we are not talented and have little money, we can accumulate a lot. If one person contributes, we can always make the Tang Dynasty better." If we support our national destiny, we will definitely succeed!"
Li Hong turned around and glanced at the palace.
Aye, A Niang, the gentry are giants, but when everyone in the world is on the side of Datang, they are extremely small!
The prince's gaze has never been firmer than before.
…
Good night!
