Chapter 80 Originally a Lobbyist
"Haha, since it's a trivial matter, it's not too late to talk about it later."
I do want to see when you can hold it in.
Zhao Yue picked up the bamboo slips in front of him and put them in his hand to read them carefully.
"Tao follows nature is the economic thought of Taoism. The Taoist's "Tao" refers not only to the Tao in nature, but also to the Tao in ordinary life. Taoism starts from natural philosophy and advocates economic activities to follow the laws of nature, advocates tranquility and inaction, and "small country and few people", and opposes the ritual system advocated by Confucianism and the criminal policy advocated by Legalism."
Zhao Yue glanced at Xie Shang and said:
"What Shi Gong Tai thought was Taoist economic thought, but it is no longer applicable to this day."
Xie Shang nodded slightly, and this guy was not in a hurry at all.
"Xunzi's "Rich Country" advocates 'focusing on the basis of the foundation', affirming that all industries play a role in the social economy, but only saying that there must be some restrictions on the number of merchants; it proposes that the country must be enriched based on the people, and advocates the strategy of "both the upper and lower levels" to enrich the country, and prefers to think about it privately, which is much better than the Taoist proposition of Taishigong."
"hehe."
Zhao Yue picked up the hot tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "This is just a Confucian theory, and it has been modified by Dong Zhongshu. Confucian skin and bones are now used by the Legalist arts."
"Shang Yang reformed the Qin State and proposed the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army and "focusing on the foundation and suppressing the end".
Shang Yang and later Han Fei believed that agriculture was the basis of food and clothing, and the source of warriors. Developing agricultural production was the only way for a country to be prosperous and strong. Therefore, a rich country must "focus on the foundation".
At the same time, they believe that industry and commerce are the last business and are easy to make profits. If there is no restriction, it will make everyone avoid agriculture and endanger agricultural production, so they advocate "banning the last".
Not only that, he also advocated that a "strong country" must "weak people", that is, to adopt criminal rewards, so that producers can hand over the products other than life and reproduction required to the monarch, and private individuals cannot maintain a large amount of wealth."
Zhao Yue blew a lightly and said, "Now it is a time of great struggle. Many countries in the north are united, and the situation in the south is unstable and there are many turmoil. It can weaken the people of the north and strengthen the country in the south. What does Renzu think?"
"How to weaken the people of the north and how to strengthen the country of the south? With the two of us?"
Xie Shang smiled bitterly and said, "Now you and I are here to guide the country, just talking about war on paper. There is no chance for us to show our ambitions in this world."
“There will be.”
Zhao Yue smiled softly.
"Even if you point to the country, you have to point out the meaning. Brother Renzu has a wealth of talent and his future achievements are bound to be limited."
"Little Langjun is so young that he wants Princess Shang. How can I compare with you?"
"Brother Renzu is too humble."
Zhao Yue pulled out two more bamboo slips from the bookshelf behind him.
"In addition to Confucianism, Taoism, and law, there are also many perspectives on economic theory, such as justice, profit, taxation, and affordability. I have always known that Renzu brother is good at debate and talk. Since there is nothing to do today, I might as well discuss it with me. At that time, I will be able to sleep with you and go to Duke Zhou together."
"Ah this..."
Xie Shang opened his mouth. He originally wanted Zhao Yue to ask him what he was going on this trip. He was able to take the initiative in the speech, but this slippery little man didn't give him any chance.
If we discuss this economic theory, it will be over in just a few days or a few nights?
Thinking that he was entrusted by someone to come today, Xie Shang had to smile bitterly and bow his hands to show weakness.
"Forget it, Mr. Lang, there is still something important to visit today."
Wouldn't it be over long ago?
What kind of tricks do you play with me?!
"Autumn chrysanthemums, tea."
"promise."
Qiu Ju was dressed in a maid and served, and stepped forward to pour Xie Shang a cup of tea.
"The water vapor in Jiankang is steaming. My manor is on the banks of Qingxi River. It is extremely humid. If you drink alcohol at night, it will inevitably hurt your body. It is good to drink tea.
This tea is produced next to Jingkou Lake. It has a flat and elegant appearance, green and green color, and a clear and mellow inner fragrance. When soaked in a cup, the buds and leaves are green. It is called "green color, rich fragrance, sweet taste, and beautiful shape". Brother Renzu, please."
There is no habit of drinking tea now, but tea is not uncommon.
But now it is not about making daily drinks, but is treated as a medicine like health care products.
The trend of drinking tea was prevalent and it was also in the Tang Dynasty.
"Then I'll be disrespectful."
Xie Shang knew that Zhao Yue had no habit of accepting the slack, so he was mentally prepared before coming.
However, when he drank the tea, he unexpectedly discovered that the taste was really good.
"The spirit of drinking is refreshing. Although it is not as good as the top Hanshi Powder, the effect is also good. Why don't you give me ten kilograms?"
Good guy, this face is really thick-skinned.
"Do the matter first."
Xie Shang's face was solemn.
"It's not a secret matter, so I said I'll give you a break. Three days later, I'll have a banquet and want to invite you to have a gathering."
"It's just a banquet, why did it be so concealed?"
Xie Shang smiled bitterly and said, "If it were a banquet held by my family, I would not hide it. I would also be confident that I would invite my husband to come over. However, this banquet was not set up by my family. If you invite my husband now, it would be a pity for others to make things difficult for others."
Help people do things?
Zhao Yue's mind was turned around and he understood the cause and effect of this matter.
"Could it be that the owner of this banquet is like your Xie family, in Wuyi Lane?"
Xie Shang looked at Zhao Yue and nodded slightly.
"hehe."
Zhao Yue sneered and said, "Since it is an invitation for the banquet, the host family invites you. Whether I go or not depends entirely on my personal wishes. Why are you here?"
Xie Shang looked bitter and said, "I have received favors from his family in the past, but today he has something to ask for, so I can only come forward with a tough bullet."
"If it were usual, I would still give Brother Renzu's face, but..."
Xie Shang showed an indifferent expression on his face. He waved his hand to Zhao Yue and said, "Whether to go or not depends on the husband's wishes. You don't have to look at me as a slight person, so you can do things that go against your will."
"Oh~"
Xie Shang sighed and drank the tea in front of him.
"Although this tea is good, I want to use Du Kang to relieve my sorrow. This tea is not as good as wine!"
Xie Shang sighed and said, "The situation in the court is like this now, so there is no need to say anything. Langya Wang invited the husband over there, just to fight with the Yu family. The husband is now standing on the Yu family. If he rashly participates in the banquet, he will definitely hate the Yu family. Langya Wang is just using the husband, and has no affection with the husband, and even wants to rob the princess."
"For Langjun, if you go there, it will not only be no benefit, but will cause trouble."
Xie Shang was thinking about him everywhere. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be moved by him.
However, Zhao Yue did not.
Since you are a lobbyist, you naturally have to complete your own tasks.
Otherwise, the front would not have been stolen with Zhao Yue for the right to speak.
Now I show that the enemy is weak, and I will directly write a script of intimate feelings.
I, Zhao Yue, believe in your ghost!
