Accumulate Wealth in Life

Takako Hanmen (124)

The tea room of Juxian Pavilion is the place where the most people gather on such days.

In the large hall, there are wooden-colored tables and chairs, sitting on them, leaning on the backs of the chairs, holding a book in their hands, and putting a cup of tea in front of them, listening to the eloquent talk of great scholars. Participate or not. Just sitting like this, listening like this, is a comfortable thing.

At the table next door, we are discussing whether it is better to hide wealth for the people, or hide wealth for the country.

It was the first time that this topic was discussed on the bright side, in the imperial court, under the eyes of the emperor.

Although this is not a new topic, there have been many such debates since ancient times.

But so far, no one has given a correct answer.

Kang Chang stretched his waist, the people here were all older and more senior than him. Although he is also the head of the Kang family, in front of the elders, he is still a junior. He is not qualified to speak in front of others.

Therefore, he alone held a book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by the King of Free and Easy, and huddled in the corner to read it with relish. Although the writing is half white, it is not difficult to accept when reading it.

When the tea in the cup was finished, as soon as he raised his eyes, there was a young servant who ran over with a smile, poured the tea and backed off.

The tea here tastes really good.

After taking a sip of tea, I felt that I was blocked by a shadow around me, and then someone sat down across the table.

In this kind of corner, is there anyone other than myself who can look at it?

Kang Chang looked up and was stunned. Whose idiot dared to bring a woman here?

He reminded in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, let Mrs. Sister-in-law go back first. This is not the place where women should come."

Lin Yutong couldn't help but look across, and saw a young man in his early twenties with a cute baby face. At this moment, he opened his mouth, and he didn't have time to put away his shocked expression. Seeing that he was holding the teacup in one hand and didn't put it down, and the number of pages in the book in the other hand was messed up, but after reading the words on the cover, her expression became strange.

Saburo really has a way to make money. This sculptor is still in hardcover. The price must also be hardcover.

Fourth Master smiled and changed the subject: "It turns out that Xiongtai also likes this book. This gold..."

Lin Yutong coughed.

The fourth master immediately said, "Why are you reading this alone today?" He almost forgot that now this is not Jin Yong's, but King Xiaoyao's.

Seeing that the fourth master knew about the book, Kang Chang hurriedly said, "Can Xiongtai read it?"

Fourth Master nodded, "I saw it!" In the tube building, he worked overtime and stayed up all night watching.

Kang Chang sighed: "This King of Free and Easy is really a capable man, a genius! I wanted to visit the door in person next time, but who would have known that the lord went to the front line." After speaking, he shook his head repeatedly and whispered: "Ah, You said, is this emperor going to fight, or not to fight. You said that you want to fight, but you invited all the great scholars in the south. You said not to fight, but you asked King Xiaoyao to supervise the battle. I really can't understand it below."

Fourth Master did not answer, but instead asked: "So many capable people don't understand?"

Kang Chang swept his eyes and said in a low voice, "These people are either stupid in reading, or they have long forgotten their own weight. They all think that the emperor called so many people to come here because he wanted to 'harmony' and to rely on the emperor. The power of the family, agree with Nandi as soon as possible." He shook his head and snorted softly, "A bunch of idiots!"

Lin Yutong couldn't help but glanced at Kang Chang more than once. This man was young, and his face made him even smaller. Unexpectedly, his eyes were sharp.

Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "What do you think of Xiongtai?"

Just as Kang Chang was about to speak, he stopped. Looking up and down, the fourth master came. This person is not simple. If he asks, he doesn't actually answer a word. Instead, he is tricked by others.

When did your vigilance get so low?

Realizing that the boy in front of him is not a good person, he immediately pretended to be confused, only pointed to the other table, and said, "See? Afterwards, I became concerned. In the end, I was still frightened by the emperor’s actions in the North. There are more common people who benefit from the benefits, and this benefit is actually cut off from the big family in disguise.” He sighed slightly. With a sound, "But it's no wonder that it hurts when the meat is cut off. I don't know how your family is? Anyway, the family has lost 30% of the income this year."

But only 70% is beyond the reach of small households.

Seeing that the fourth master didn't speak, Lin Yutong turned his body to the side of the pillar and hid in the shadows. He lowered his voice and said: "You can't count it like this. Every war, every war is actually a process of redistribution of wealth. Now, although the emperor has changed his dynasty, he has never been slaughtered and looted. You open the history books and read Look, the change of dynasties is like this. Wars are really just wars, and they only happen in the collision of armies, and never involve innocent people. Others rely on burning, killing, looting, accumulating wealth, and serving as military salaries. We do not. "The most ill-gotten money was robbed of King Zhao. There was no plunder among the people, and no big family was asked to give out money as a reward. Therefore, apart from the initial disturbance of the refugees caused by the disaster, nothing was lost. Fourth Master even carefully protects the city. In his words, it is easy to destroy it today, but it will be difficult to repair it tomorrow. If it weren't for the fourth master, these high-profile families would have long since become targets of others, and it was them who were killed. "So, you can't just calculate the gains and losses from your point of view. You have to think about it from another angle..."

"What I have now should be rewarded by the emperor?" Kang Chang stared at Lin Yutong, "Is that what you mean?"

Lin Yutong looked at him, "Don't tell me what I said doesn't make sense?"

It doesn't seem to make sense. Unbound soldiers are more dangerous than bandits and bandits.

Kang Chang opened his mouth for a long time, this reason is reasonable, but it is a bit rascal and shameless. It's not that he can't refute this, the key is that this is under the eyes of the imperial court, and it is a big taboo to meet others by chance. Besides, a woman... It's shameful to win with a woman.

Lin Yutong saw that this guy's eyes rolled for a long time, but he didn't speak. I laughed secretly in my heart, sure enough, the people who can come here are at least the people who are in charge of this big family. No fools at all.

Fourth Master squeezed Lin Yutong's hand and told her to stop. As if knowing Kang Chang's embarrassment, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Then do you think it is better to hide wealth for the people, or for the country to hide wealth."

There is no risk to this issue, so many people are talking about it.

For a moment, Kang Chang felt that Fourth Master was still a kind person, so his expression became calmer and his attitude became more sincere. He said in a low voice: "Throughout the history books, most of the people who hide wealth are praised by people. The reputation is much better than hiding wealth for the country. But tell me, this is just a different strategy adopted by a country at a certain stage. Today, the world is full of It has not been settled yet, and the people have just experienced a catastrophe and war, and they are in urgent need of recuperation. What is recuperation? That is to re-earn the money that has been used up. There are few people in the family who have the opportunity to add more. This is It’s time to recuperate. At this time, the state is slack on the poor, and it doesn’t take money from the people, which itself is handing over the benefits that the country deserves to the people. Let them recover as soon as possible.”

Lin Yutong nodded, saying this is true.

As Kang Chang said that, he waved to the servant who was in charge of pouring tea. This little servant was Hei Qi's subordinate, and he had already noticed Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. Seeing Kang Chang in this way in front of these two people, I was a little admired. It was much more respectful to pour the tea. The irritated Kang Chang looked at it for a few times before he recovered and continued: "So, I said, at this stage, the practice of hiding wealth from the people is correct. Although the emperor's strength is stronger, but from the overall situation Look, there is nothing to blame." After speaking, he paused and changed his tone, "However, it is not a long-term solution. The court needs to build bridges and roads, build river embankments, build warships, and rely on There are many things that can only be done with money. So where does the money come from? This is also a major issue that concerns the country, society and the well-being of the people in the world. Then, when the people are a little rich, they should still gather some of the wealth in the hands of the people. Come up. As long as it can be taken from the people and used by the people, there is nothing inappropriate.” After speaking, he sighed, “Whether it is to store wealth for the people or the country, it is good. As long as it is used properly. The reason why Tibet is rich in the country is criticized is not that this policy is bad. It is that a good policy is ruined by human nature. The word 'greed' is too scary."

Yes, the problem arises when most of the wealth in a society is concentrated in the hands of a few. When what is taken from the people cannot be used for the people, the crisis comes.

What's wrong is not hiding wealth in the country, what's wrong is the execution itself.

Fourth Master nodded, this man is young, but his knowledge is good. But it is easy to govern the people, but difficult to govern the officials.

Fang Changqing just lifted the curtain and came in when he saw Fourth Master and Lin Yutong at a glance. His eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but shout, "Fourth Master, why are you here?"

As soon as this sound came out, the whole tea room fell silent.

Kang Chang widened his eyes and looked at the fourth master, then turned to look at Fang Changqing.

These four masters, aren't they the emperor?

The fourth master was stunned when he saw everyone, but he was calm. He pulled Lin Yutong to get up, and Shi Shiran walked out...
