Chapter 178 How can you betray Shilin

"In addition, Mr. Zheng just said that these refugees in the capital are lazy and unlucky people. Among them, the weak and sick are the best arrangement to starve to death. I think this statement is a disagreement. These refugees are not a refugee because of laziness. If they are lazy, why should they stay away from their hometown and come to the capital to transport food? In addition, they are not a troublemaker. If they are really lazy, they will mostly become enemies directly. Why should they come here to be beaten and scolded by officials?"

Bi Ziyan asked Zheng Sanjun's face turned red and his breathing was a little rapid.

Zheng Sanjun had to argue: "Now every winter, a group of refugees in the capital will starve to death. Because of this, the refugees in the capital can be maintained at a fixed number and not enough to grow. If Bi Gong really wants to feed them, the group of refugees who should have starved to death will not starve to death, and the number of refugees in the capital will gather more and more. Once the Yuan Dynasty's case occurs, what should we do if a large number of migrant workers gather on both sides of the Yellow River happens?"

"The people will only rebel because they can't survive, and will not rebel because there are too many people. The people who built the Yellow River in the end of the Yuan Dynasty opposed the court because the Yuan court was unjust and did not give them a way to survive. Now the court is giving them wages and using labor for relief, which will not only not lead to civil rebellion, but also eliminate possible refugee chaos."

Bi Ziyan replied.

"Big Bi really can guarantee that there will be no change in the area of ​​Jingji by then? There will be no cult taking this opportunity to bewitch these foolish people and cause trouble. If Bi really rescues a large number of refugees because he is kind-hearted today, causing more and more refugees in Jingji, and then bewitched by the cult, and even rebelled and caused trouble, then Bi dares to apologize to the court?!"

Zheng Sanjun asked in a tone.

Fang Congzhe saw this and hurriedly said, "Okay! The Book of Rites says, 'A man does not only have his relatives, but not his sons, so that the elderly can have a life of life, the strong can have something to use, the young can have a good fortune, the young can have a good fortune, the poor, the lonely, the disabled, the disabled, and the women can have a return.' In this way, the world is the public, and the refugees in the capital, whether the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, or the young and the strong, they are all for my Ming people. How can they starve to death? This is contrary to goodness and the way of the saints! How can we read the books of sages so cold!

As for whether the chaos will occur, it has nothing to do with the increasing number of refugees. What is related is whether the court can make them live and work in peace and contentment, and educate them to be at peace and complacent. As for cults, there is no need to worry about it. As long as the people can live and work in peace, is my saint's religion not as popular as the rumors of cults? "

Fang Congzhe asked this and glanced at Zheng Sanjun.

Zheng Sanjun stood up directly and looked at Fang Congzhe with a sharp look on his face.

He did not expect that Fang Congzhe would suddenly propose Confucian orthodox theory to criticize him, and even said that he was contrary to the way of a saint.

This made him feel a sense of frustration that was difficult to accept when he had always loved to hold the sign of Confucian orthodox theory to protect his gentry's interests.

When can the Four Books and Five Classics become weapons to attack oneself?

This thief is really hard to deal with!

Zheng Sanjun looked at Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan again.

He originally hoped that through this discussion by the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan could convince the gentry to make concessions, after all, everyone was a gentry.

But Zheng Sanjun did not expect that Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan were so stubborn, and they really took the common people in the world seriously.

As for why Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan take the common people of the world seriously?

Zheng Sanjun also figured it out.

It is nothing more than Fang Congzhe's words, and there are words in Confucian classics that "there are prides, widows, lonely, and disabled people will be well-behaved."

In other words, these people really take these remarks as the norm and practice them.

Zheng Sanjun didn't know how to refute these two people for a moment.

Because Zheng Sanjun realized that the Confucian words he had always believed in the most would become the driving force for the scholars and officials to ignore their interests!

"You two nerds are stupid in reading books! You only remember the views of the Han Confucianism, but not the views of Confucianism today. Your Majesty should serve the scholars and officials with the benefits of the world, rather than the benefits of the scholars and officials! Otherwise, such a king and father would be a enemies as the saint said!"

Zheng Sanjun could only curse Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan in his heart.

But Zheng Sanjun did not dare to curse it directly because he could not say that the words in "The Book of Rites" were wrong.

After all, this is one of the Five Confucian classics.

However, the Book of Rites was written in the Han Dynasty, which represents the views of the Han Confucian Confucians, and the views of the Han Confucians are no longer accepted by the current scholars and officials, so Zheng Sanjun could only express his opposition in his heart.

"If Mr. Zheng has any objection, he will sit down and refute. He doesn't have to get up and answer. Although he is the chief minister, he is just an order to discuss matters with the public."

Fang Congzhe Mian said something with a needle hidden in his mouth.

Zheng Sanjun realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly bowed: "The official is rude."

Then, Zheng Sanjun sat down.

Fang Congzhe ignored Zheng Sanjun and still looked at Bi Ziyan: "Bibutang, continue, why did you propose to add additional projects in the imperial court to give the residents in the capital a chance to survive? And is this a big construction?"

"I think that the construction of large-scale construction cannot be overstated. If ordinary people want peace in their lives, they need to build houses first. If the country wants peace, they must build cities to protect the enemy from outside. They must dig canals to benefit agriculture. It can be seen that large-scale construction is often something that a country must do for peace and peace. If the court can use the surplus money and grain of the treasury this time to let refugees work and build projects, they can have the effect of using work instead of relief, and even give the people near the construction site the opportunity to make money. After the refugees have wages, they will not only buy grain but also eat them.

We have to buy local cloth to make clothes for people nearby, and we have to buy firewood to keep warm. At that time, the court will add a banknote to the construction site. Even if only a small amount of tax is imposed, it will increase a lot of taxes, so that the court can provide relief to the people and return the expenses of the court to raise more and more refugees. In this way, the treasury will not be poor because of raising more and more refugees, and will even become more and more abundant in the future. Once the people know that it is profitable, they will work hard to produce local cloth and will go to the mountains to chop firewood to sell in the middle of the night!"

Bi Ziyan continued to talk at this time.

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe said, "It's true that it's a clever! It's a benefit to the people but can increase income! Then ask Bibutang to use what he said just now and calculate the surplus of the Ministry of Revenue to add the project, and then write it into the Ministry of Revenue's question book and report it."

Wang Yingjiao also nodded.

"yes!"

Bi Ziyan replied.

Seeing this, Zheng Sanjun couldn't help but ask: "Don't you really want to punish the powerful and noble gentry like this? Recruiting the land to Qingzhang land was to curb the common people's dedication to the wealthy family! Now that the landless refugees have survived by working, and even gave them plenty of wages to bring wealthy people to the other people, who would still be willing to contribute to the wealthy family as a tenant? I'm afraid that those who are already rich tenants will also escape to work, which will only make the powerful and noble gentry even more dissatisfied. You can know that doing this is against the trend and there will be no good ending!"

Wang Yingjiao said first: "But when we study and become officials, we are just for the country and the people."

Bi Ziyan also said: "But for the country, you don't seek life and death."

Fang Congzhe also nodded and said, "Yes, we are also scholars and powerful gentry. But we are scholars after all. What is different from common people is that we have the country, your majesty, and the family and country are peaceful. The common people have not studied and are ignorant and ignorant, and can ignore the safety of the country. But we cannot ignore it. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a way, and this way cannot be forgotten. The powerful gentry has power and power, and there are many ways to obtain money. Why should we exploit the common people and corrupt the country to make profits? Otherwise, it is actually not in line with the Confucianism!"
