Chapter 1905 King Jing is worried
What is imperialism?
Lenin said, "The concentration of production and capital is highly developed, and monopoly organizations play a decisive role in economic life...", "It is monopolistic, parasitic, decadent, and dying"...
Fang Jun learned this stuff when he was in college.
This should not be the most perfect form of society because it is based on monopoly and exploitation.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, are you going to create some kind of folk pig?
In an imperial society with a strict hierarchy, where even slaves have not been eliminated, and the people at the bottom believe that "exploitation is justified", if you dare to say anything about people or communism, not only will the emperor chop off your head and destroy your nine tribes in minutes, , even the common people will think you are mentally ill...
The rich are getting richer and the privileged class are getting more and more privileged. His Majesty Li Er doesn't care about this.
What he cares about is that the aristocratic family will become more and more powerful because of this...
"If the monopoly you mentioned is allowed to develop unscrupulously, wouldn't it mean that the aristocratic families will become stronger and stronger, and will eventually become too big to lose, endangering the imperial power?"
His Majesty Li Er is not a fool. Even though each word that pops out of Fang Jun's mouth is fresher than the last, he can still understand the meaning after a little thought. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er can get to the core with just one question!
I have racked my brains and tried every means to suppress the clan. If I do this, won’t the clan become more prosperous?
Everything before was in vain...
Fang Jun said firmly: "No! Wealth is by no means the fundamental reason for the survival of aristocratic families, or even to influence the government and national policies. Education is! Even if every one of them has a mountain of gold and silver, so what? The improvement of papermaking, the advent of movable type printing, the popularization of books, the rise of imperial examinations... Each of these things will surely unearth the enthusiasm for reading among poor people in the world, as long as they persevere unswervingly. Go, it won't be long before the days when aristocratic families monopolize educational resources will be gone forever. In every imperial examination, countless students from poor families will stand out, serve His Majesty, and contribute to His Majesty's great achievements. In the long run, , the pattern of aristocratic families spread throughout the court will no longer exist. By that time, even if the aristocratic families have billions of dollars, why should they be afraid? "
The situation in Europe and the United States where consortiums influence national policies will never happen in China.
Different cultures have different values. Since ancient times, Chinese people have valued "learning and excellence leads to officialdom". It is destined that the top talents in the society must be above the officialdom, and the talents who are not in the mainstream go back to do business and amass wealth. Let me ask, those who are high in temples How can political elites be kidnapped by wealth? ,
No matter how much wealth there is, in the eyes of these elites who play politics, they are just sheep with lush wool. Whichever year they are in a good mood, or which year they are in a bad mood, they will be pulled out and slaughtered to adjust their mood. Mood...
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people with billions of wealth who could rival their country, but in the eyes of those in power, how have they ever been treated seriously?
If you want to kill, then just kill...
Therefore, as long as the imperial examination system can continue to be truly fair and just, the political monopoly of the aristocratic families will be eliminated and weakened sooner or later.
His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly nodded and said: "Please step aside for now and entertain the Queen of Silla and her party. Don't lose etiquette and make others laugh. I will think about the rest of the matter and discuss it with all the ministers." , the matter is too important to act recklessly.”
Fang Jun's words had a huge impact on him.
No one has ever said that excessive prosperity of business can not only fill the national treasury, but also empower the country with the power of external expansion, and even curb land annexation... This is a bit unbelievable, but after thinking about it deeply, I feel that it does make sense.
His Majesty Li Er has incomparable political talent, but he knows very little about economics. He is not the only one. In this era when merchants are regarded as a despicable profession, there are only a few people who understand economics. Fang Jun has mastered economics like this. There are very few people who can analyze national policies so clearly and thoroughly.
However, he cannot just rely on Fang Jun's words to arbitrarily formulate national policies. He still needs to draw on the opinions of everyone and accept suggestions...
*****
The residence of King Jing.
Li Yuanjing will have breakfast, change into a brocade robe, and prepare to go to Zhongnan Mountain in the south of the city to meet an appointment with an eminent monk to enjoy the beautiful scenery after snow and taste the fragrant mountain spring tea.
Then a servant from the family came to report what happened at Lishan Farm.
His Highness King Jing was stunned for a long time, and then smashed the tea cup in his hand to pieces...
"Shuzi! Do I have any grudge against you?"
Li Yuanjing was furious and furious.
During his many years of planning, the two generals Xue Wanche and Zhi Husili were his right-hand men. If he wanted to achieve great things, he would never be able to rely solely on the advocacy of civil servants in the court. Without military power, all the The plan is nothing but a mirror, and in the end it will only be in vain, and it will cost one's own life.
However, Fang Jun didn't just take the wrong medicine. First, he made Xue Wanche disgraced and his status in front of the emperor plummeted, and now he extended his black hand to Zhihu Sili...
Allowing domestic slaves to persecute veterans who once conquered the Turks may not be a big deal in other people's homes, but it would be serious in the Anguo government.
Because those who insist on losing their thinking power are Turks!
All it takes is a little instigation from a caring person to form an irresistible trend. If even public opinion in the city can be incited, then you will definitely die if you lose your thinking power!
Fang Jun is going to cut off his own arm with this stick...
How can Li Yuanjing not be angry?
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Prince Consort."
"Let him in!"
"Here!"
Soon, the servants brought in Chai Lingwu, who was dressed in brocade and had a face as white as jade.
It has to be said that this young man from an aristocratic family has a face as good as a crown jewel, a handsome face, and an excellent appearance. Compared with the black-faced gods such as Fang Jun, he is more than ten miles ahead of him.
When Chai Lingwu saw Li Yuanjing, he complained: "Why are you so lazy, uncle? I've been waiting outside the palace for a long time, but I didn't see uncle come out. You... oh, your face is so ugly, what happened?" < br>
After complaining a few words, he saw the fragments of the tea cup on the floor. He was shocked. He looked up and saw Li Yuanjing with an angry face and asked in surprise.
Li Yuanjing was furious and said angrily: "I'm not going!"
Chai Lingwu: "..."
He knew that the character of this imperial uncle was by no means as gentle, courteous, and virtuous as he appeared to be. In fact, he was most gloomy and changeable. He did not dare to ask more questions. He was wondering whether to sit down and persuade, or to simply say goodbye and leave, hesitating. In the meantime, I suddenly heard Li Yuanjing ask: "Tell me, why is that boy from Fang Er so different from before?"
He couldn't help but wonder.
In the past, Fang Jun, Du He, Chai Lingwu, Yu Wenjie and other dandy boys were all close to him. He didn't have the airs of a prince. He took these juniors to play around and they were as close as brothers. However, I don’t know when Fang Jun suddenly became estranged from him. The old friendship was gone, and he was even quite hostile to himself. He was always against him, and even Du He and Du He gradually became alienated...
But why is this?
Li Yuanjing admitted that he had bad intentions and impure motives in befriending these playboys from prominent families, but he asked himself, the time to take advantage of these people has not yet come. He was just giving and wooing, but how could Fang Jun's attitude be so bad? reversal?
I can’t figure it out...
Chai Lingwu stood in the hall, speaking warmly and feeling a little embarrassed.
Since when have you become completely different from before?
Naturally, it started from the time when I plotted against Fang Jun and almost died when he fell off his horse...
Others may not have noticed it, so how could he not notice the weirdness in it?
Being able to save a life was considered a blessing to Fang Jun, but he never thought that since then, that guy seemed to have enlightened himself. He was no longer dull and stupid as before. It was actually spoken out in verses, and countless poems and articles that were enough to make Guanzhong's great scholars bow their heads and admit defeat were published one after another, spread throughout the north and south, and he became a dazzling literary superstar.
It’s like a new person...
Of course, it is impossible to change people. Things like "seizing a body and being reborn" are just folk rumors. Even the Taoists themselves do not believe in such incredible legends. They can only say that it was a coincidence that the horse fell off the horse all of a sudden. The fall broke Fang Jun's brain and re-established the "tendons" that were originally misaligned.
Since then, he probably knew that he caused him to fall off his horse and almost die, so not only did he distance himself, but he also became strangers to Li Yuanjing and others, and no longer interacted with him.
Chai Lingwu even wakes up from his sleep from time to time, fearing that Fang Jun, a stickman, has a grudge in his heart and will kill himself regardless of that day...
After Li Yuanjing finished asking, he also fell into deep thought.
Fang Jun's sudden change made him panic. He was not afraid of anything else. He was afraid that if Fang Jun alienated himself or even discovered that the reason for his opposition was because of his own evil intentions, he would be in big trouble... (End of this chapter) )
