Chapter 23 Cai Xiang's fault
After eating and drinking for a while, Wu Chong, who had been silent, said: "My husband won a great victory in the northwest and reorganized the imperial guards. He always felt that he wanted the world to recuperate, but the country's government changed a lot. Is it too urgent to seek treatment?"
Ouyang Xiu said: "The northwest destroyed Dangxiang and defeated the Khitan. If you have such achievements, what else can you do to seek for? Doing this will definitely make a big deal, and we can't think about it."
Wu Chong did not speak, and Cai Xiang raised his glass and drank it all, pressed it on the table and said, "What my husband said is too complicated and can be understood immediately. I don't understand one thing. I said that if the powerful family wants to suppress the invasion of the common people, they must rely on the land and tax the land, and if they do not pay, they will pay for money. They also have to sell the business, restaurants, residences, and everything that people in the towns are in charge, and only those who are assigned to officials will be given direct control. They will also give priority to the countryside's large number of money and grain. Now that the three departments have a lot of money and grain, there is a bank there, so what if they sell all the official business? Salt and iron are not good governance, so they have to do it."
Ouyang Xiudao: "My husband has his own reasons. We have low positions, and there are some things we don't know about."
Cai Xiang had the most stubborn temper. When he heard Ouyang Xiu's words, his eyebrows raised: "What's the point of not knowing? Exorcist the Huns, practice salt and iron, and the politics of Emperor Wu of Han. Xu's Xianggong destroyed Dangxiang, and Li Xianggong went to the northwest to manage the Western Regions. It was just to follow the story of Emperor Wu!"
Wu Yu coughed: "Junmo, my husband said repeatedly that gentlemen should discuss their actions and not their hearts. If gentlemen are the North Chen, you will also act as a ruthless person. If the court does this, my husband has a deep meaning. The court governs, and the power family is peaceful and suffering. The people are both at the two ends. Now the common people in the country are in a difficult position, so this government will relieve the people's strength. In the town, the court will strictly control the power family and suppress too much. Any industry with size benefits must be collected from the officials. The tight areas should be loose, and the loose areas should be tight, and the court will handle it calmly."
Cai Xiang glanced at the corner of his mouth: "Where is tight? What is loose? It's too mysterious! If you really think about the common people, why not lose all the things in the world to the officials and the fields in the world to the officials! If you have the business of the field, you have the business of the farm, and you will manage it yourself. If you are afraid that the forces will use the land and business of the people to exploit the common people and take them to the court, the court will always pity the people and love the people!"
Wu Yu said: "I have really asked this. Guess how my husband answered?"
Cai Xiang said: "Why guess this? It's nothing more than being in the court, and the court is not in control. If you want to manage it, you need to summon countless new officials. How can you settle the redundant officials? Even if your husband has made great contributions to the country, he will eventually be a human being. Why should he bear this grudge?"
Wu Yu smiled and said, "So, Junmo, you don't think about the matter, and you are unwilling to use your brain. Just guessing others, how can you know the matter? Xu Gaogong once said that the prime minister of this dynasty was headed by Zhao Zhongxian, and Wang Wenzheng's virtue was the first. The contribution of Zhongxian's minister to assist the order was beyond reach. Wen Zheng's minister had been with the prime minister for more than ten years. Xu's rule of rule over prime minister is that Wen Zheng's minister's resentment belongs to him and his kindness belongs to him. Who is the prime minister? He went out to the northwest to command the army, and the other ministers retorted three times and four times. The queen took office with a sigh. Khitan, defeated the Khitan, and organized the army in Longyou. The court must be transferred, and the queen will give out the most powerful generals and the strongest army. This is the military merits, and the prime minister will immediately go back to Beijing."
Speaking of this, Wu Yu shook his head: "Junmo, you need to change! Xu Gong is in power, and he comments so casually, I am afraid he won't laugh it off. Gong Gong is very serious about whether the officials are in line with their duties. You are a big taboo for the censor!"
Wu Yu and Cai Xiang are both from Putian Road, Fujian Road, and their relationship is no better than others. This is really persuading him.
Cai Xiang knew that she could speak so she stopped talking and just drank.
Ouyang Xiu glared at Cai Xiang and asked Wu Yu: "Junmo said that if you want to take things in the world as officials, why not?"
"There are surplus things in the world, and the officials collect them with rent and taxes, and take them away from the official business. This thing is still surplus, and they enter the home of the power. Why do officials collect this thing? In addition to the salary of officials and the cost of raising troops, they should manage production, so that more and more money and grain in the world will be more and more. The management of production will naturally benefit the world. But the field must have surplus benefits. This is not unwilling to think about it, and the power cannot be impossible. No matter how big the three officials are, how can the money in the world be managed? This must be entrusted to the subordinates. If they are entrusted to the subordinates, there will be greedy officials, and the more greedy they are, the more they become. Therefore, if the things in the world are deprived of the officials, it is not to suppress the family of forces to take over the remaining things of the people who are suffering, it is to take the power and the people in the court. Such people will be resentful to the court, and will be in chaos over time."
When productivity is not achieved, forcing the world to be public is not to eliminate exploitation, but to include the exploiters in the regime. In the early stage, the intersection of the regime was supported, and almost all the two sets of exploiters and the exploited ones were included. After a long period of development, just like the early exploitation society gave birth to classes, classes will still be divided in the intersection. The final result is not to eliminate exploitation, but to exploit within the regime, and to change to another method to fight. At this time, the regime bears all the resentment of the exploited, which is equivalent to the scapegoat of the exploiters. How can the exploiter be maintained?
I thought that doing this would break out of the cycle of control and chaos since then, but in fact, the cycle of control and chaos was just a different face.
Why did Europe in the feudal era have no cycle of governance and chaos? There is no easy explanation for this. There is no cycle of governance and chaos in the feudal era in China. If the development is not at that level, the contradictions will be resolved by various schools, and it will be difficult to form a chaos that will affect the world.
Is there a cycle of chaos after Europe has left the world? Of course, there are, once in a while, economic prosperity and economic crisis, if you change your name, it is not a cycle of chaos? The cycle of chaos is not a cycle of chaos. As long as you walk out of the feudal era and achieve great unification, it is almost inevitable. What you are afraid of is not a cycle of chaos, but a rise and fall of the world. Reform and adjustments in time, and never go to that point.
There is no way to avoid the cycle of governance and chaos in the world. Social development is always going back and forth like this.
It is not possible to resolve it, economic crisis is not allowed to happen, and capitalist things are not allowed. This is the Germanic spirit of a rude and axial spirit. Things have advantages and disadvantages. The best of both worlds is only temporary. Contradictory development and transformation. Good will turn into bad one day, and bad ones may turn into good one day. There is nothing to be afraid of. You can't think about doing things for future generations. More importantly, you should tell them to change them in time according to the times.
The legitimacy of the regime established by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan lies in people. It is manifested in people that it is to investigate the chaos in the world. It must be corrected in time when chaos is in order and to persist in governance. In fact, it is very advanced and in line with the laws of social development. In addition to the disputes between ideological and policy orientations between the new and old parties, the theoretical basis for taking turns to rule is here. This theoretical basis is the internal reason why the two-party states take turns to rule. Even in Xu Ping's previous life, the world's largest country was still the case.
There are really no drawbacks in the way of benevolence and righteousness? Of course not. It’s just that this drawback is not just an drawback under ideology. Doing so requires the regime to have sufficient control over society and timely adjustments, and the requirements for the regime’s ability to govern. Once the regime loses such ability and lacks control over society, the drawbacks of the way of benevolence and righteousness will appear.
At this time, the Song Dynasty had a relatively weak control over rural areas and had too strong control over towns. Xu Ping's institutional reform measures were targeted at these two directions. Rural areas should start collecting power, establish various self-service organizations, and the official will provide institutional and financial support to help them fight the exploitation of landlords. In towns, they will start delegating power, relaxing the control of guilds, relaxing price controls, and guiding rural funds to invest in towns, guiding the development of industry and commerce, and opening up the era of industrialization.
This process is actually the process of Xu Ping's reform in his previous life, but he faced different conditions, and the direction and policy measures he took were different. The reform in his previous life faced with the strong control of both rural and urban areas, which showed that the urban and rural areas delegated power at the same time, put down the official burden, and wanted the driving force for development from the society.
After this stage, the driving force for social development is exhausted, and the social surplus used for development is concentrated in a few people, and a new social crisis will emerge again. The reform measures must be reversed, regain power, and the official will bear the responsibility for development.
The inequality between urban and rural areas will inevitably lead to the out-of-synchronization of reform measures. It is just that now that the reform has begun, Xu Ping has taken action on urban and rural areas at the same time. With the development of productivity and industrialization, the differences between urban and rural areas will gradually disappear, and policy measures will be synchronized.
When the reform begins, negative effects will inevitably occur. For example, in rural areas, some infrastructure, roads and bridges, canals and land reclamation before the collection of rights, etc., were completed by the power houses in rural areas. Even new farm tools are purchased by these families and put into actual use. Once the collection of rights, farmers' self-service organizations do not yet have this ability, and infrastructure construction may be reversed. At this time, the official should come forward to promptly curb this regression trend and enable social production to enter the normal track of development at the fastest speed.
From the perspective of contradiction, policy measures must have two advantages and disadvantages, and will transform each other. The real law of all ages actually does not exist. It is not a fixed policy for all generations to be fixed, and there is no worry from now on. Instead, it tells future generations that this policy has advantages and disadvantages. Now it is better to use than disadvantages. When contradictions are transformed, the advantages are not advantages and disadvantages are not disadvantages. We must reform in a timely manner.
Whether it is a powerful family or a commoner, they are people under the regime. There is no good or bad, and no one is a friend or an enemy. With the development of society, for everyone in society, the people who are suffering can become a member of the people who are suffering, and the people who are suffering will fall into the people who are suffering. This is a normal phenomenon in society and does not need to be regarded as a flood or a beast. In the internal class, stopping this transformation is to bury landmines for themselves.
Whether you treat your own people as friends or enemies, you have lost your ruling stance of the regime. The ruling party should not find friends to support itself internally. This is the method of the revolutionary party. Once friends are found, the enemy will be divided. Once social contradictions are transformed, the foundation of the regime will collapse. The collapse of the Soviet Union can find ten thousand reasons from the inside out, and countless sinners can be found, but the most fundamental thing is that as the ruling party, the revolutionary party approach is adopted and eventually died within.
The regime has a position, but do not let the position influence it and lose its independent personality. Once it is lost, the regime is very dangerous.
The greatest theoretical wealth of society left to future generations by communism is, first, the view of development, development is the necessity of society. Second, class contradictions are the main contradictions within society, and the theory of Chinese contradictions developed from this.
Contradiction is the unity of opposition, and negation of negation reflects the opposition of contradiction, but does not reflect unity. This is the fundamental reason for the final failure of political theory supported by this, the basis of philosophy. Science leads the development of productivity, while philosophy leads political theory. Most of the internal causes of political failure are based on philosophy.
Why did Xu Ping need to change one morality to one party when the two-party system was in its infancy? It is because the two-party system that was born from philosophy has been passed down through the Song Dynasty in history, and there is no need to go through it again.
