Chapter 903 Shock
Compared with Zhang Juzheng’s full concentration, Gao Gong was much more casual. Even when Zhu Ping’an said his answer was only four words, Gao Gong seemed not to hear it and was at ease. Sip tea calmly.
Because there are no expectations, you can be careless.
While sipping tea, Gao Gong casually looked at Zhu Pingan and Zhang Juzheng who were having a conversation.
"Oh, I don't know what Mr. Zhu's theory is, but I would like to hear the details." Zhang Juzheng leaned forward slightly and looked at Zhu Ping'an intently with his eyes.
"There is no other, 'reform and opening up' ears."
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved forward, his tone was just like Zhang Juzheng just now, calm and confident, his gesture was just like the high arch, generous and Powerful, the sun shone on Zhu Pingan's face, and the reflected light made Zhang Juzheng look sideways.
Reform and opening up!
Although Zhu Ping'an's voice was not loud, the four words "reform and opening up" were like a yellow bell, resounding in the room and leaving lingering echoes.
For a time, it seemed that the whole room was echoing these four words.
"Reform and opening up?"
Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard the words. These four words seemed simple, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that these simple four words were extremely profound and profound, and he couldn't help but repeat them softly. Again.
The more I think about it, the more profound it becomes.
Although he couldn't figure out the connotation of these four words for a while, Zhang Juzheng could figure it out.
"Reform" means change.
The word "reform" comes from King Wuling of Zhao, who is in Hufu, riding and shooting. In 307 BC, King Wuling of Zhao started the famous reform of riding and shooting in Hufu, and ordered that Zhao's cavalry combat uniforms be changed to the traditional Central Plains long skirts and long sleeves. The northern Hu people wear compact shorts and long trousers. Because most of the Hu people's clothes are made of animal leather, changing military uniforms is also called "reform". Later, the word "reform" gradually extended to mean "change, innovation".
Open?
The first thing Zhang Juzheng thought of from this word was the opening of sea restrictions.
Open sea ban!
This view coincides with my own thoughts and Gao Gong's thoughts. Zhang Juzheng was well aware of the negative impact of the maritime ban, which restricted overseas trade and increased conflicts among residents along the southeast coast.
The Song Dynasty was weak, and its territorial population was much lower than that of Ming Dynasty, but its treasury revenue was much higher than that of Ming Dynasty.
Why?
A large part of this is due to overseas trade. The tariffs collected by the Shipping Department alone are a huge amount of fiscal revenue.
The maritime ban did have a positive effect in the early stage, limiting the harassment of Japanese pirates, but it was only in the early stage. Later, as the maritime ban became stricter, some maritime merchants and residents on the southeast coast whose interests were harmed colluded with Japanese pirates, causing Japanese pirates to The problem is becoming more and more serious, like leeks, it is cut one after another and is difficult to eradicate.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng has a negative attitude towards the current maritime ban and believes that the maritime ban should be lifted first.
Zhang Juzheng knew that Gao Gong also advocated opening up the sea ban. When discussing in private, Gao Gong had criticized the sea ban policy more than once.
From this point of view, if Zhu Ping'an's opening up refers to the lifting of sea restrictions, it coincides with his and Gao Gong's opinions.
After initially interpreting the four words "reform and opening up", Zhang Juzheng's face became more serious.
When Zhang Juzheng was deeply shocked by the four words "reform and opening up" thrown by Zhu Pingan, Gao Gong beside him was no longer as careless as before.
At this moment.
Gao Gong, who was originally sipping tea, put down the cup in his hand at some point. He looked at Zhu Pingan with a pair of eyes like a falcon, and turned his body to face Zhu Pingan, looking serious.
Reform and opening up!
These four words shocked Gao Gong no less than Zhang Juzheng.
At first, Gao Gong didn't care much about Zhu Pingan's answer because he didn't express any expectations at all. However, the four words "reform and opening up", which were simple but profound at first, never expressed expectations to Zhu Pingan. The shock effect brought by speaking out is doubled.
Reform!
These two words seemed to send a string of electricity in Gao Gong's mind, making Gao Gong's skin crawl.
Actually
Gao Gong thought in his heart more than once that if King Yu succeeds to the throne and he is able to preside over the government, what he wants to do is reform.
The "righteousness for profit" that I just mentioned is the goal, and the means is reform. Through reform, "righteousness for profit" can be realized.
As for opening up, Gao Gong also thought of opening up the sea ban, which coincided with his own ideas.
Reform and opening up!
Zhu Pingan’s thoughts are so consistent with his own? !
The fit is no less than that of Zhang Juzheng!
This forced Gao Gong to re-examine Zhu Pingan.
I often communicate with Zhang Juzheng, discussing knowledge, governance strategies, exchanging ideals and aspirations, and we often get along. It is understandable that we are compatible.
But
I basically had no communication with Zhu Pingan before, but Zhu Pingan's ideas were so consistent with mine.
This surprised Gao Gong. He pressed the arms of the chair with both hands and leaned forward. He looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes. The contempt in his heart turned into attention, and the carelessness on his face turned into concentration. .
Zhang Juzheng's expression and the change in his arched expression caught Zhu Ping'an's eyes, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
I am very satisfied with the shock that the national policy of "reform and opening up" has brought to them.
This was expected by Zhu Pingan.
If the epoch-making national policy of "reform and opening up" cannot shock them, then they are not worthy of being called Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
"What is reform and opening up? Please enlighten me, Mr. Zhu." After a few seconds, Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses and asked.
“Reform and opening up, in short, means internal reform and external opening.” Zhu Pingan was calm and answered fluently.
"Reform? How to reform?" Gao Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked on the table, looked at Zhu Pingan and asked.
"In terms of making money and managing money, I believe that 'there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without work, and no life without business.' Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Without agriculture, the world will be unstable; handicraft industry is the leader of wealth, and without handicraft industry, the world will not be rich. "Business is the key to the vitality of agriculture and handicrafts. Commerce connects agriculture and handicrafts. Without commerce, agriculture and handicrafts will lose their vitality," Zhu Pingan replied.
No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life!
Zhu Pingan's words vividly summarized the dialectical relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce, which once again refreshed and shocked Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. This was the first time that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong heard someone summarize the relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce like this. The more they thought about it, the more reasonable they felt. Isn't this the relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce?
Natural. Zhu Pingan twitched his lips slightly in his heart. This was summed up by people in the 1980s based on the five thousand years of Chinese history. How could it be wrong? !
