Chapter 903 Shocked

Compared to Zhang Juzheng's engrossing, Gao Gong was much more inattentive. Even when Zhu Pingan said that his answer was only four words, Gao Gong seemed not to have heard it, and sipped tea calmly.

Because there is no expectation, you can be careless.

Gao Gong was sipping tea while casually looking at Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juzheng who were talking.

"Oh, I don't know what the words of Mr. Zhu's theory are, and I wish to hear the details." Zhang Juzheng leaned forward slightly, looking at Zhu Ping'an intently with his eyes.

"There is no other, 'reform and opening up' ear."

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved forward, his tone was just like Zhang Juzheng just now, calm and confident, his gestures were just like the high arch just now, generous and powerful, the sun shone on Zhu Pingan's face, and the reflected light made Zhang Juzheng a little bit look sideways.

Reform and Opening!

Although Zhu Ping'an's voice was not loud, the words "reform and opening up" sounded like Huang Zhong Dalu, resounding in the room at once, and the lingering sound lingered.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole room echoed these four words.

"Reform and Opening?"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard the words. These four words seemed simple, but after thinking about them for a while, he felt that these simple four words were extremely broad and profound, so he couldn't help repeating them softly.

The more you ponder, the more broad and profound you feel.

Although he couldn't figure out the connotation of these four words for a while, Zhang Juzheng could figure out some of them.

"Reform" Well, change also.

The word "reform" comes from King Zhao Wuling's Hufu riding and shooting. In 307 BC, Zhao Wuling launched the famous Hufu riding and shooting reform in history, and ordered that Zhao's cavalry combat uniform be changed from the traditional long skirt and long sleeve clothing of the Central Plains to The compact short clothes and long trousers of the Hu people in the north, because the service of the Hu people are mostly made of animal leather, so changing the military uniform is also called "reform". Later, the word reform was gradually extended to mean "change, innovation".

Open?

The first thing Zhang Juzheng thought of from this word was to open the sea ban.

Open the sea ban!

This point of view coincides with my own thoughts and Gao Gong's thoughts. Zhang Juzheng was well aware of the negative effects of the sea ban, which restricted overseas trade and increased conflicts among residents along the southeast coast.

The Song Dynasty was weak, and the population of the territory was much lower than that of my Ming Dynasty, but the treasury income was much higher than that of my Ming Dynasty.

why?

A large part of it is benefited from overseas trade, and the tariffs collected by the Shipbuilding Department alone are a huge amount of fiscal revenue.

The early days of the sea ban did have positive effects, limiting the harassment of Japanese pirates, but only in the early days. Later, as the sea ban became stricter, some maritime merchants and residents in the southeast coast whose interests were damaged colluded with Japanese pirates, making the Japanese pirates more serious. Like leeks, one crop after another is cut, and it is difficult to destroy.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng’s attitude towards the current sea ban is negative, and he believes that the lifting of the sea ban should be the priority.

Zhang Juzheng knew that Gao Gong also advocated the opening of the sea ban. When discussing privately, Gao Gong had criticized the sea ban policy more than once.

From this point of view, if Zhu Pingan’s opening refers to the opening of the sea ban, then it coincides with what he and Gao Gong advocated.

After a preliminary interpretation of the four words "reform and opening up", Zhang Juzheng's face became more serious.

When Zhang Juzheng was deeply shocked by the words "reform and opening up" thrown out by Zhu Pingan, Gao Gong on the side was no longer indifferent as before.

At the moment.

Gao Gong, who was sipping tea, put down the cup in his hand at some point. His eyes looked at Zhu Pingan like a falcon, and he turned around to face Zhu Pingan with a serious look.

Reform and Opening!

These four words gave Gao Gong no less shock than Zhang Juzheng.

At the beginning, Gao Gong didn't care much about Zhu Ping'an's answer, because he didn't report his expectations at all, but the simple but profound four words "reform and opening up" were uttered from Zhu Ping'an's mouth, which did not report his expectations. The effect of the shock is doubled.

Reform!

These two words seemed to send a series of electric currents in Gao Gong's mind, making Gao Gong's goosebumps rise.

actually

Gao Gong thought more than once in his heart that if King Yu succeeds to the throne and he is able to preside over the government, what he wants to do is reform.

The "righteousness for profit" I mentioned just now is the goal, and the means is reform, through which "righteousness for profit" can be realized.

As for opening up, Gao Gong also thought of opening up the sea ban, which also coincides with his own ideas.

Reform and Opening!

Zhu Ping'an's thoughts fit so well with his own? !

The degree of fit is no less than that of Zhang Juzheng!

This made Gao Gong have to re-examine Zhu Pingan.

I have frequent contacts with Zhang Juzheng, discussing knowledge, strategies for governing the country, exchanging ideals and aspirations, and often run in. It is understandable that we fit together.

but

I basically had no communication with Zhu Ping'an before, but Zhu Ping'an's thoughts fit him so well.

This surprised Gao Gong, pressing his hands on the arm of the chair, leaning forward involuntarily, looking at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, the contempt in his heart turned into attention, and the indifference on his face turned into full concentration.

Zhang Juzheng's complexion, Gao Gong's expression changed, Zhu Ping'an was caught in the eyes, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly.

Very satisfied with the shock brought to them by the national policy of "reform and opening up".

This was expected by Zhu Pingan.

If the epoch-making national policy of "reform and opening up" can't shock them, then they don't deserve to be called Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

"What is reform and opening up, please enlighten Master Zhu." A few seconds later, Zhang Juzheng asked after recovering.

"Reform and opening up, in short, means internal reform and opening up to the outside world." Zhu Pingan answered calmly and fluently.

"Reform? How to reform?" Gao Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked on the table, looked at Zhu Pingan and asked.

"From the theory of making money and financial management, I think that 'without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life'. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and without agriculture, the world is unstable; handicrafts are the leading wealth, and without handicrafts, the world will not be rich. ;Commerce is the key to the vitality of agriculture and handicrafts. Commerce connects agriculture and handicrafts. Without commerce, agriculture and handicrafts will have no vitality. Therefore, reform should also start from this." Zhu Pingan replied.

No agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life!

Zhu Ping'an's remark summed up the dialectical relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce vividly, which once again made Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong feel refreshed and shocked. This was the first time that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong heard someone summarize the relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce in this way. The more they thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

nature.

Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly in his heart. This was summed up by people in the 1980s based on the 5,000-year history of China. Could it be wrong? !
