Li Xu sighed: "I remember Ducao said before that the wealth in the world is made by people. That sentence is to create wealth through labor. I thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand it. Since ancient times, it is said that all things are born to nourish people. If the sky does not change, then the wealth in the world will be fixed. If it is not in the official position, it is in the people. Over the past year, after seeing the changes in Jingxi Road, I have some understanding in my heart. From Ducao to Jingxi Road, the people will be self-sufficient without additional taxes."

Zhao sighed: "Without adding taxes, the money is self-sufficient. Sang Hongyang used it to talk about Emperor Wu of Han, and Di Wuqi used it to accumulate wealth to help Emperor Suzong of Tang quell the rebellion. Although it was indeed a temporary crisis at that time, there were endless troubles. What they did use was the art of making money, which sounds nice, but in fact it was still to scrap people's wealth to help the country. It was precisely because the arts performed by these two people were quite harmful, and the theory of the world's wealth was a constant saying that Yun Xing wanted to get out of the shadow of these two people, it also depends on the subsequent influence of money entering the household."

Xu Ping nodded: "Xiping said it well. What is really not the time to make a conclusion now. What I did is naturally not Sang Hongyang and Di Wuqi's method of making money. The idea of ​​not adding taxes and using self-sufficiency in the country. Li Yue, don't say it in the future, but it will lose people's words. After a year or two, the government will not lack money, and can reduce taxes and make the people rich, so that they can truly say that they have walked out of the shadow of Sang Hongyang and Di Wuqi and found a feasible path."

Li Wei nodded quickly and said, "Since he went to Fangcheng County to work and handle local government affairs personally, he truly understood many of the principles that Ducao had previously been told. He has had a lot of experience this year, and combining the principles that Ducao was taught with the words of sages, it was a unique world. He has always thought about writing a policy and understanding the principles that Ducao said and giving them to the court. It is a good way to govern the world."

Xu Ping looked at Li Xu and thought for a while before saying, "Don't be anxious about this matter. The new policy has not yet achieved great results. It will cause controversy for the court. You write a rough idea for me to show it. This matter is important, let's discuss it."

"As far as Ducao's instructions are concerned!"

Seeing that Li Wei was well-behaved, Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He cultivated him since he was in Yongzhou and guided him to pass the imperial examination. He had been acquainted with him for a long time. At the beginning, he just saw that he was eager to study and had a sense of character in his behavior. He had no long-term plans for helping him on a whim. It was not until Li Wei went to Beijing to take the exam and the two spent more time together that they discussed some academic issues with him and understood it a little deeper. From that time on, Xu Ping hoped that one day he could organize his thoughts in his later generations according to the discourse system of this era, truly form a systematic theory, and form his own practice. Only systematic theories can become people's consensus to avoid the death of the people.

Xu Ping didn't know when this day would come. Theory did not come from fantasy, but must be based on practice. When Xu Ping was in the capital, he was just a small-scale fight. To be honest, it was just a skill of making money, not much better than the financial management ministers of the previous dynasty. He just had more knowledge for a lifetime and tried to minimize side effects.

It was different after arriving at Jingxi Road. Xu Ping really began to straighten out the production relations and prepare for the breakthrough of productivity. The current policies are fundamentally different from previous dynasties, just waiting for the explosive impact of the breakthrough of productivity to appear. Xu Ping chose this breakthrough point in the cotton industry.

If Li Wei can truly understand the policies at this stage and combine them with mainstream ideas, then Xu Ping's hard work over the past two years will be completed. The new theory combined with earth-shaking practice will have extraordinary power and will naturally arouse some interest. When confronting other ideological systems, professionals will be done, and Xu Ping does not need to use his shortcomings in his theory to sue others.

Social existence determines social consciousness. The revolutionary changes in productivity and production relations will inevitably lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of thought. Xu Ping did not know how to combine his thoughts with mainstream thoughts, so naturally there were people who were good at it. This was an era of brewing ideological changes, and there were no shortage of thinkers with vision and action.

Strategy is an important part of the imperial examination. In the previous dynasty, he used poetry and essays to select scholars, but it was relatively unimportant. Zhao Zhen changed to a policy theory and his status was suddenly raised. In addition to the imperial examination, Strategy is also an important style for the ministers and even the people to express their views on the national major policies. It is more targeted than the theory, and it is more formal than the book, and the target is the emperor himself. Generally, when the policies for current affairs come to the emperor, a clear reply must be made.

If Li Wei really clarified the idea that Xu Ping brought to this world and formed a new theory, then the new idea of ​​governing the country would be completely formed and should be placed in the spotlight and accepted the comments of officials and people all over the world.

It is not that time yet, it is not because of the theory that is perfected, but because the political achievements of Jingxi Road are not enough to support it.

Wang Gongchen put down the cup in his hand and interrupted, "That sentence is what labor creates wealth. Although the word labor is a bit inconsistent, it makes people confused and can only understand it. The meaning of the word is just about labor. When I first heard it, I felt that nothing was surprising. I worked in the field affairs for two years, but I thought it made sense. Li Liu, if you write a draft and lend it to me, you might have something you didn't expect. If you really write such a policy, remember to be considered me."

Zhao Xiao said, "When I say this, how can I stay out of trouble? The new policy of Jingxi Road, in theory, came to Ruzhou to work, so I cast small iron coins here. It started from here seriously."

"Okay, that's it. Let's work together to do this!" Xu Ping raised his glass and drank it with everyone to decide on the matter. "But this matter cannot be urgent. Although it can make a fussy reputation, it is easy to be despised if you have no actual political achievements. We just need to prepare first, and we should depend on the effect of the new policy. By the way, since you have decided to do this, you must pay attention to all aspects of the new policy. Then, if you say it is reasonable and material, then this policy will be worthwhile!"

The three of them agreed and raised their glasses to laugh.

Xu Ping drank the glass of wine, leaned on the chair, and looked at the night sky. A full moon hung on the sapphire-like sky, and the light of the stars disappeared, shining, which was exactly the appearance of the stars arching the moon.

After half a year of busyness, when the new policy comes to fruition, I can already see the fruit and just wait for it to be ripe and pick it. Practice is the best teacher. As long as the new policy bears fruit, the previous opposition voices can be ignored.

As long as this practice is available, new theories will be about to emerge and fight against various ideas. (To be continued...)
