Chapter 41-60

Chapter 041 Chapter 41

The policy papers written by the students all have names and classes at the top. Although this is just a school exam and not a formal imperial examination, the names and other information on the paper are still covered with paper. This is also for simulation The atmosphere of the imperial examination.

Master Chen did not immediately open the name at the top of the volume, but read down the policy.

In fact, the writing style of this policy paper is not very good, but it is better because it has a novel perspective on the topic, and the writing is logically organized, well-founded, and eye-catching.

The theme of the policy discussion is salt and iron. Whether it is based on the interests of the country or the interests of the people, any aspect can be discussed.

However, because the article is written for examiners, and most officials have family and country interests at heart, there are many students who discuss it from the perspective of the interests of their family and country.

But the article that Master Chen saw was different, because at the beginning of this policy article it was written: The sun and the moon are not named together, and ice and carbon are not containers.

What follows next is the difference between the previous dynasties and the current two dynasties.

Therefore, this sentence is intended to be a metaphor for the different strategies used to govern the country in different periods. Conflicting theories cannot be used at the same time.

The Jing Dynasty was different from the previous dynasties. People in the previous dynasty were heavily taxed. If salt and iron were sold privately in the hands of wealthy families, the cost of buying salt and iron for the people would be lower. If the state were to carry out the exclusive operation, then the price would be much higher and the people would be even more miserable. Therefore, from a side perspective, the privatization of salt and iron at this time is indeed beneficial to the people.

After the founding of the Jing Dynasty, people began to rest and recuperate. The taxes of the people were reduced by half, and the pressure was much less than that of the previous dynasty. The situation was naturally different.

Chen Fuzi felt that this way of approaching the topic was very novel. At first, he did not choose one side, but compared the two sides.

He continued to look down, and wrote in the middle: The young people sit in rows and sell, taking advantage of their miraculous winnings, traveling in the city every day, and taking advantage of emergencies, they will sell twice as much. Therefore, their men do not cultivate, and their women do not weave silkworms, so their clothes must be Wencai must eat meat. The suffering of the peasants and workers is only gained by the farmland, but it does not help the country's urgent needs.

When salt and iron were privately owned in the previous dynasty, many people went to sell salt and iron, and gained a lot of private profits from it.

As soon as the profit increased, men no longer thought about farming, and women no longer focused on raising silkworms and weaving. They focused on selling salt and iron, but they still had good food and clothing.

However, as time went by, there were only a handful of people farming. Those farmers who still cultivate the remaining land only care about the harvest of the fields and do not care about the state's finances and whether the national treasury is sufficient.

In this way, most of the people who sell salt and iron will join small traders and become rich quickly. However, the country's financial resources are scarce and it will be difficult to support it in the long run. Then it will soon collapse and the people will be displaced. The results are different from imagination. The opposite of the good days in China.
