"Is this so?"
Song Yingchang felt a little unbelievable. Before, he only thought that buying a monopoly would raise prices, affect transactions, and increase the interests of smuggling and aristocratic families.
Unexpectedly, there is another explanation in terms of taxation.
"Okay, interesting, there is such a saying." Song Yingchang only felt that the analysis of the difficulty of taxation in Song Dynasty seemed to be more persuasive to Emperor Jiajing.
"Haha, actually your teacher is already using it like this. This year the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau lifts the ban, and the Weaving Bureau's profit should be no less than three to four million. This is the foundation of your calmness now"
p>Luo Longwen said with a smile.
"The convenience of taxation, yes. I will add it right away. But taxation is convenient, but is it good?" Song Yingchang continued to ask.
"Good or bad is relative. At least compared to Ming Dynasty's pitiful business tax, can you say it is bad?" Luo Longwen said with an expression of "you understand".
"Oh, is there anything else?" Song Yingchang thought for a moment and continued to ask.
People can’t stop thinking. If they keep asking questions, they can often get unexpected answers.
"Okay, let me make the last point. That is, even if you prove that reform is needed now, you can reform. But why does the emperor want to reform?" Luo Longwen also asked in turn.
"If it is not enough to replenish the treasury and revive the Ming Dynasty, the only thing left is the imperial power, right, uncle" Song Yingchang asked cautiously.
"Here, let's stop clicking, and it's up to you to think about the rest. I just thought of it in a hurry." Luo Longwen hurriedly clicked to get out.
"I would also like to borrow some materials that you have newly learned in Hangzhou, is that okay?"
"Yes, yes, the bookshelf on the side is copied and backed up by the Hanlin Academy. You can borrow it." . But did Master Shi really leave without giving me a hint?" Song Yingchang still wanted to catch Luo Longwen's wool.
"I really don't know, but I think we can start from the major events of the Western Han Dynasty. After all, it was at this time that Confucianism came into the world." After Luo Longwen finished speaking, he quickly went to the side and picked out the seven names that interested him. Eight volumes of newly learned materials ran away as if they were running away.
Song Yingchang did have some ideas after being prompted.
The rise of Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty basically had two stages. The first stage was when Dong Zhongshu deposed hundreds of schools of thought and respected Confucianism. The second stage is the dispute between Sang Hongyang's theory of salt and iron and virtuous literature. Only later did virtuous literature come to power, and exclusive respect for Confucianism became a reality.
Obviously, this is intended to be sensitive content. In the final analysis, all Confucianism up to now is basically the descendant of virtuous literary Confucian scholars. It is impossible to directly lift the lid publicly.
So, in the spirit of stud, Song Yingchang asked his disciples to contact Xu Guo and Wang Jiaan, who had no family ties.
Originally I wanted to contact Wang Xijue and Gao Yunsheng, but they are both children of big families. This kind of stud thing is really difficult.Some difficulties.
What's more, during the previous banquet, Xu Guo and Wang Jia'an had noticed the difference in the overall power struggle between the scholars who were changing and not changing. Calling these two people can be regarded as professional counterparts.
If the data from the Western Han Dynasty can be corroborated with the Song Dynasty, wouldn’t it be the most powerful evidence?
So, that night, while there were still two days before the new year, Xu Guo and Wang Jiaan quietly came to Song Yingchang's residence in the dark.
Song Yingchang formulated a path-dependent idea. The three men worked together at night to accomplish big things. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
