Chapter 1904 Imperialism
Chapter 1904 Imperialism
His Majesty Li Er felt that his mind was a little messed up, so he had to smooth it out.
He is a wise emperor, and he has a clear understanding of the origin of the rise and fall of dynasties.It is inevitable that the dynasty will perish due to land annexation. If this problem cannot be solved, it is purely in vain to say that it will last forever.
Even Datang cannot escape the fate of collapse...
The establishment of a new dynasty on top of the ruins represents the beginning of a new round of land distribution. It means that for a long time, those who cultivate will have their land, and the main contradictions in society will be eliminated. Can be expected.
Just like at present, the reign of Mingjun and the virtuous and prosperous dynasty will surely create a prosperous age in the Zhenguan period.
However, His Majesty Li Er listened to Fang Jun's words and said that the establishment of the new dynasty had already heralded that the root of the downfall had already been buried, and that when the old dynasty fell, it meant that a new round of land distribution was coming, which gave birth to a beautiful future. future……
This made His Majesty Li Er, who was so ambitious and proud that he was about to create a prosperous age, somewhat unacceptable.
According to what you say, everything I am doing now is useless. No matter how diligent I am in government affairs, no matter how much I sleep late at night, it will not change the ending of everything that will eventually fall apart in the tide of history and be annihilated in the dust. ?
It just doesn't make sense!
Little bastard, aren't you a courtier?
To be a sycophant must be qualified, and you must always say some flattering words that are pleasant to the ear. Under such a good situation, you must embarrass others if you say these ugly words. Do you want to learn from that old guy Wei Zheng?
His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, his eyes were unfriendly, he stared at Fang Jun, and said: "In your opinion, no matter how beautiful the Tang Dynasty is, it cannot escape the fate of being destroyed in the end?"
Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "Faithful words are harsh to the ears, but I dare not deceive the saints."
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily, showing a murderous look with a sneer: "So, even if you slander the country and scare the country, I will reward you for it?"
Fang Jun was silent for a while, got up, bowed to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, naturally he has a holy order, if he thinks that the humble minister is alarmist, he can be punished for the crime of the humble minister, and the humble minister is willing to be punished, and there will be no complaints."
There are some things that can be followed by the emperor, so hello, hello, hello everyone, serve the emperor happily, get promoted and make a fortune, why not do it?
But there are some things that must be persisted.
Especially with such important national policies regarding the future direction of the empire, he will not compromise.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun with a resolute expression, gritted his teeth, and did not utter the words of reprimand after all, but said indifferently: "I am not a person who cannot accept advice? I dare not compare my virtues with the ancient sage kings, but in terms of You have a broad mind, but you don’t think you can lose to anyone! Whether it’s honest words or bad words, you will definitely not be offended because of your words. Who will you show your attitude as a political minister? Do you think that if you can Therefore, if you provoke me to be reprimanded by the staff, you will be able to get a good name as an admonishing minister and spread it all over the world?"
Fang Jun sweated profusely: "I dare not!"
My heart said buddy is serious, why did you go astray...
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly: "Don't you dare? I really don't know what things you Fang Erlang dare not do in this world! It's okay, hang your head and make people look annoyed, go back and do it well!" .”
Fang Jun said: "My minister is guilty and dare not sit down."
His Majesty Li Er's eyes glared: "I tell you to sit and you sit, hypocritical, who did you learn from?"
Fang Jun was speechless, so he could only sit down with a sad face.
We really don't want to sit, our butt hurts, why not just stand and listen to your reprimand...
Outside, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight was shining straight in from the windows on the west side, and the dust flying in the space was clearly visible.
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a while, and asked: "The land annexation... is there a solution?"
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "I can't. Since ancient times, getting married and buying a property has been a custom passed down by the Han people. Whenever you have money, the first thing you do is to buy a house or land. Money is something outside of the body. These yellow and white things are not enough to fill the stomach. Only the land is the permanent property. The poor hope to buy a few more acres of land so that they can have a mouthful of food in the famine years, and the rich hope to buy a few more acres of land and pass it on to their children and grandchildren as ancestral property. ...Therefore, the annexation of land is the pursuit of all classes of the Han people, and the amount of land is the embodiment of the value of life. Under such circumstances, who can stop the annexation of land? The Qin Emperor, Hanwu, and Wu can't do it, and neither can Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er was silent.
He wasn't angry because Fang Jun said he couldn't do it, because it was a fact. Even if he really held the lives and deaths of all the people in the world, he couldn't stop the sale and hoarding of land, and he couldn't stop the countless land from gathering more and more in the hands of some people. .
When the land becomes more and more concentrated, and more and more people lose their land and thus lose their source of livelihood, conflicts will erupt sooner or later, which means that a new round of land distribution is coming. In the pursuit of the land, it will melt and disintegrate like an iceberg in summer...
Such a bad result, repeating itself.
Therefore, there will never be a unified empire that can last forever...
His Majesty Li Er understands this truth, but his heart is like a rock, and he feels uncomfortable.
I claim to be the son of heaven, but I am just one of many emperors, there is not much difference in essence.Even if it can sweep the eight wastelands and shake the world, even if it can rule the world for thousands of years and one emperor, it can't solve the problem of land annexation. In the end, the achievements will disappear in the blink of an eye, the empire will collapse, the curtain will end in prosperity, the beauty will wither, and return to dust... …
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er felt a little discouraged.
Even if you do well, what's the use?
The cycle of heaven and cycle, this empire will eventually be annihilated in the dust of history, and another empire is destined to rise on top of the ruins of the Tang Dynasty.
Everything becomes meaningless in front of the Dao of Heaven...
Just when His Majesty Li Er was secretly sad and lost in the irreversible way of heaven, he suddenly heard Fang Jun say: "It is impossible to solve it. This is determined by the foundation of Chinese culture. There is nothing to do, but containment and mitigation are not impossible..."
"Um?!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes suddenly widened, his beard curled up, and he threw the tea bowl cover on the table with his hands, cursing: "Bastard! Who learned this shortness of breath, can't I just entertain myself? "
Fang Jun caught the tea bowl cover in a hurry, before it fell to the ground and broke, he said quickly: "Isn't this an organizational speech, how dare you amuse your majesty..."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, how to curb and ease land annexation?"
"Here!"
Fang Jun took the opportunity to get up, put the tea bowl cover on the desk in front of the emperor, took two steps back, and stood up and replied: "It's very simple, let people take their eyes off the land, don't always stare at the acre Just three points."
"..."
His Majesty Li Er wanted to hit someone again.
Are you farting?
Land is the most cherished thing for generations of Han people. If you have money to buy land, if you get promoted to buy land, land is the lifeblood of Han people. Who can make them take their eyes off the land?
Seeing that the emperor picked up the tea bowl cover again, Fang Jun was startled, and said quickly: "Your Majesty has learned from you, it is actually not difficult. You only need to vigorously develop and encourage commerce so that the income from commerce far exceeds the output of the land." , people naturally don’t just stare at the ground under their feet.”
It is human nature to pursue profit.
When commerce develops to a certain extent, it can indeed greatly alleviate the demand for land. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the Han people to disdain land and get used to the way of life of merchants seeking profits amidst risks.
But if it is only to alleviate and contain, it is by no means impossible.
Without waiting for His Majesty Li Er to ask questions, Fang Jun continued: "The imperial court vigorously develops commerce, especially the handicraft industry, which will surely create a large number of rich people and concentrate wealth, and the concentration of wealth will create monopoly in various industries. This is not a bad thing. A large number of monopoly classes will make commerce flourish. Correspondingly, the demand for labor will expand, and more and more people who have lost their land will be attracted to commerce. , become hired workers, and get the chance to live. When the monopoly economy develops to a certain extent, the income of ordinary people when renting and planting land will be far less than that of hired workers, and a large number of people will flood into the commercial field, but The number of people is fixed. If there are more hired workers, there will be fewer farmers. However, the land in the hands of aristocratic families cannot be left uncultivated. Is it possible to let them, the children of aristocratic families who cannot shoulder and resist, go to cultivate the land by themselves? So , the benefits of tenants and farmers will be greatly increased, and the benefits of landlords from the land will gradually decrease. The enthusiasm for land will naturally turn to business, and the situation of land annexation should be curbed and alleviated. ..."
In fact, Fang Jun only said half of what he said.
The other half is that when the monopoly economy develops to a certain scale, the country becomes saturated, and it will inevitably start to expand outward. At this time, imperialism will appear...
