In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

Zhao Jun was actually a bit rude.

Because from his perspective, he and Wazamuguo had only met twice, and it was not good to directly say that he had realized something.

But firstly, he felt that Wazamuguo was talking nonsense and questioning his authority, which made him very unhappy.

Secondly, he did not think too much at the time. When communicating with young people, he did not need to maintain a humble attitude at all times like communicating with the elderly. He just said it casually as a joke, speaking his mind without thinking.

He regretted it afterwards.

Zhao Jun felt that although Wazamuguo was a bit of a nitpicker like the village chief Granima, he was an outsider after all, and he would have to stay in the village for two years in the future, so he should have a good relationship with the villagers.

So after he finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Of course, it may also be that my guess is wrong. What if the wealth is hidden among the people, so that the people can appreciate the kindness of the Song Dynasty royal family, and the power to resist the Jin people will be stronger, and finally defeat the Jin people?"

His words made Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and others all look black.

So no matter what, the Jin people will fight to the gates of Bianliang?

The more you describe it, the worse it gets.

Zhao Zhen looked unhappy and asked, "The great Song Dynasty, doesn't have anything to show for itself?"

"It seems that there is nothing. In summary, the Song Dynasty's economy was not healthy. It did not invest in basic education, basic transportation, scientific and technological development, and technological progress. The military expenditure was also wasted. No matter how good the economy of such a country is, it is meaningless."

Zhao Jun drank two sips of water and continued, "As for the culture you mentioned, the Song Dynasty culture has indeed left a deep mark in history and is collectively referred to as Tang poetry and Song poetry in contemporary times, but that's all."

"Tang poetry, Yuan opera, Ming and Qing novels, none of them are worse than it. In terms of cultural influence, the Tang Dynasty was the peak, and it spread far overseas. Japan still worships the Tang Dynasty today, and Chinese gathering places all over the world are called Chinatown. Can the Song Dynasty culture invade to this extent?"

Until the 21st century, Ming and Qing novels and Tang Dynasty culture have had a profound impact on the Japanese. For example, the Three Kingdoms culture, the Journey to the West culture, and the Tang Dynasty poems. Bai Juyi is the most admired poet in Japan.

They even openly claim that they are the successors of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Whether it is architecture, thought or education, there are profound shadows of Han and Tang culture.

In comparison, Song Ci and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism may have a little market in Japan, but that little influence is minimal.

Not to mention Chinatowns, which are all over the world.

So in terms of cultural influence, the Song Dynasty is not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared, because the Han Dynasty laid the foundation for the Han ethnic group today, and the novels of the Ming Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin" are famous all over the world.

Zhao Zhen was speechless. He didn't know what cultural invasion and spiritual corruption meant. He didn't know how popular Dragon Ball, which borrowed characters from Journey to the West, was in the world, and he didn't know how many popular games such as Three Kingdoms Kill, Three Kingdoms Heroes, Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors, etc. were created based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

So he couldn't refute Zhao Jun's words. He could only stammer for a moment and said reluctantly: "Okay, maybe you are right."

"That must be right."

Zhao Jun shrugged and thought to himself, you little nitpicker, are you still arguing with me?

What's my education? What's your education?

Can you beat me?

By the way.

What's wrong with this village.

Why do they all like to ask about the Song Dynasty?

Is it because the village head and the village party secretary like the history of the Song Dynasty, which has led to a trend of everyone loving history?

Zhao Jun was confused.

Since coming to Nini Village, although I have met men, women and children in the village.

But this village is full of history enthusiasts.

And they particularly like the Song Dynasty.

What's going on?

Is the Song Dynasty really that good?

"Is there no way to solve the three redundancies?"

Zhao Zhen asked in a depressed mood.

At this time, the sun has risen, and the red sun is rising, bringing peace and tranquility to the earth.

Feeling the warm and happy, Zhao Jun's mood has become a little lazy. He leaned on the chair and said lazily: "It's not that there is no way, but we have to find the right direction. First of all, you have to figure out a cause and effect relationship."

"The Song Dynasty was not legitimate. Zhao Kuangyin himself was a military man who usurped the throne. He woke up and became the emperor. This was the case in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. So in order to prevent this from happening, the old Zhao family was extremely wary of military men, which led to the decline of the military virtue of the Song Dynasty."

"And after the military power was released with a cup of wine, it was necessary to appease the generals and nobles. And To win over the scholar-official class, you have to spend money to support them. The causal relationship here is that it was not the "three redundancies" that led to the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty, but because the Song Dynasty was willing to spend money on the "three redundancies" that the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties enjoyed long-term stability for more than 300 years. "

"If you support more officials, the scholar-official class will help the old Zhao family maintain its rule. If you support more soldiers, the refugees who are causing trouble and rebellion will not rebel and threaten the old Zhao family's rule. Spend more money that should not be spent to support those generals and nobles, let them live a luxurious life, and the military generals will not usurp the throne and seize power. "

"So redundant officials: millions of scholars depend on food and clothing. Redundant soldiers: millions of soldiers depend on food and clothing. Redundant expenses: millions of officials depend on food and clothing. If it is really solved thoroughly, the Song Dynasty will be completely finished. Because this is the sin of the old Zhao family, which turned the entire Song Dynasty into a deformed and unhealthy society. The root cause lies in the social system, not just these three redundant hazards."

"But if you want to solve this social system, either the Song Dynasty will perish, directly disrupt the entire social system and reshuffle it. Or make the pie bigger, so that more fiscal revenue can be obtained, thereby alleviating the increasingly serious social problems."

"Your current fiscal revenue is only tens of millions of strings of cash. If you want to use it all to support these people, it will be a big deal. It will definitely create a deformed and unhealthy social environment, but what if the fiscal revenue is several hundred million guan? Wouldn't the social system become a healthy and positive society? "

"Wang Anshi's reform is a way to make the pie bigger, increasing fiscal revenue through reform. The direction is definitely right, but his basic path is wrong. If the most basic official administration is not solved first, it will be difficult to implement the content of the reform. Simply changing the law will not make those interest groups submit obediently. "

"And Fan Zhongyan's reform is the basic path is right, but the direction is wrong. Just thinking about cutting officials and not thinking about making the pie bigger will definitely cause everyone to oppose, especially since he is attacking the The scholar-official class, the scholar-officials collectively opposed him, and he directly lost the support of the upper rulers. "

"As the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is too careful, there will be no followers. A country is large, and it is inevitable that there will be some drawbacks. But as long as the society is generally positive, it is a sound society. You can have some drawbacks, but the whole country cannot be a drawback."

"The three redundancies in the Song Dynasty were so serious that they had seriously dragged down the national finances and became a drawback for the entire country. Such a situation is difficult to solve in one step. There must be a way, but it can only be done step by step. If you take too big a step, you will easily get hurt."

"So it is important to find the right direction. As for the specific What direction should we take? You come here to ask me now, but I actually don’t know how to solve it. ”

“First, we are now in New China, and it is meaningless to solve the three redundant problems of the Song Dynasty. Second, I only know from history books that the three redundant problems exist, but I have no idea who and what are the people and things involved, and how to deal with them. ”

“In the final analysis, this is a problem that the Song Dynasty has to face, not a problem we have to face, and it has nothing to do with us. So unless I travel back to the Song Dynasty and personally understand the social changes in the Song Dynasty, the specific methods are just empty talk. ”

Zhao Jun said a lot in one breath, and after listening, Zhao Zhen and others looked at each other.

Because after listening to him, they found that what he said was actually right.

That is, the three redundant problems are not the stubborn disease of the Song Dynasty, but the root of the Song Dynasty’s life-saving.

It is like a medicine, which is both a good medicine for saving lives and a deadly poison.

And this medicine has been taken since the time of the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, and because of its toxins, it has already produced a tumor.

Zhao Zhen now only saw the tumor on the surface and wanted to eradicate it, but he did not see deeply that the tumor has penetrated into the human body.

If you want to cut off the tumor, it is like chemotherapy for advanced cancer. People will die, and the Song Dynasty will also perish.

So the harm of the three redundant and the Song Dynasty has already been symbiotic.

The problem is that even if advanced cancer is not treated with chemotherapy, it will still kill the Song Dynasty. So is there really no cure for this medicine?

It’s just that Zhao Jun talked about the general direction, and did not talk about the specific content of the reform.

Because he was right in one thing, that is, he was a person of New China for more than a thousand years, not a person of the Song Dynasty. What does the problem of the Song Dynasty have to do with him?

Although he is in the history department, there are so many history books in China, and even if you study history, you can’t recite all the history books.

Besides, those who study history are not omniscient and omnipotent. The history of the Song Dynasty is just a small wave in the five thousand years of Chinese civilization. At most, it is one of the main components of Chinese civilization, and its importance is not high.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jun's academic research focused on the basic theories and knowledge of Marxism, history, ancient philology, historical geography, and other aspects, as well as the general history of China and foreign countries, the history of periods, the history of Chinese and Western historiography, and the selection of Chinese and foreign historical documents.

Who has nothing to do all day to study the history of the Song Dynasty?

If you have that spare time, you might as well study the history of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. These two dynasties are the dynasties that the Han people are proud of.

But what he didn't know was that when he finished speaking these words in one breath, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and others around him were first shocked by the symbiotic relationship between the three redundant and the Song Dynasty, and then they all looked at each other, with inexplicable and strange light flashing in their eyes.

This kid still thinks he is in the new China?

Now he still says that Zhao Kuangyin got the country unjustly and insults his ancestors.

When his eyes are restored in the future, if he knows that he really traveled to the Song Dynasty, I don't know what it will be like.

The expression on his face at that time must be very exciting.

Anyway, no matter what.

Zhao Zhen has decided that when Zhao Jun regains his brilliance, he will definitely have a hard time.

But if he honestly solves the three redundancies for me, it will be different.

Hehe.

Zhao Zhen smiled evilly in his heart.

"Why, am I wrong?"

Zhao Jun keenly felt that after he finished speaking, the whole audience was silent, which made him confused.

"Yes, yes, but aren't we discussing and studying history?"

Yan Shu quickly took over the conversation and said: "Our village is very fond of history. I heard that Teacher Zhao is a college student in the history department, and everyone is very interested. The history of the Song Dynasty is particularly valuable for research. If you don't understand something, you must ask the teacher for help."

"Don't take it seriously when asking for advice. Let's discuss and study together."

Zhao Jun has been here for more than ten days and has relaxed a lot. He is not as reserved as he was at the beginning.

Because he found that the people in the village were still easy to talk to. Even if he said bad things about Zhao Guangyi, as a fan of the Donkey Cart God of War, the village chief didn't say anything.

It seems that they are quite nice people.

Yan Shu rolled his eyes and said: "Xiao Zhao, you are idle anyway, how about we play a game?"

"play games?"

Zhao Jun wondered: "With this free time, Uncle Lari, you might as well send me to the county to have my eyes checked. I still can't see."

"I know you are anxious about your eyes, but don't be anxious yet. Our doctors are all experts in the provincial capital. If he says he can help you regain your sight, he will definitely restore your sight."

Yan Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't you still believe me?"

"All right."

Zhao Jun said helplessly: "What game?"

"if."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "I mean, if you are in the Song Dynasty now, and we provide you with some problems that are harmful to the three redundants, do you have a way to solve them?"

"What kind of game is this?"

"It doesn't hurt to come and have some fun."

"Okay, let's talk first."

"Do you know the tea method?"

"It can't be the cross-citation method."

Zhao Jun frowned. He had learned about this and knew about it. It seemed to be a redundant issue in Sanrunli.

"Exactly."

When Yan Shu and Zhao Zhen heard that Zhao Jun knew, their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to look at him.

"I remember Li Zhen solved the problem of cross-citation method using the Qianqian method and the sticking method?"

Zhao Jun said.

There is a professional course teacher at his university who studies the history of the Song Dynasty. He also wrote a part about the tea method and taught it in class.

However, I just talked about the methods used by Li Shen, and did not go into details.

Yan Shu said: "We also studied some historical books and found that although Li Zhen's money-seeing method and sticking-shooting method can solve the problem, there are many disadvantages. Moreover, there are constant objections from tea merchants and lower-level officials, which consumes the cash of the national treasury. The speed is also much faster than the previous method, what should I do?”

"That's it"

Zhao Jun thought for a while and said: "Uncle Nalari, please tell me the specific situation."

"good."

Yan Shu explained the problems of the cross-citation method in detail.

Zhao Jun sometimes pondered, sometimes frowned, and sometimes nodded slightly. He didn't seem to expect that there were people with such thorough research on history in this deep mountain and old forest.

It seems that the charm of history is full of attractions for everyone.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others looked at him with hopeful eyes. Now the tea method was corrupt, the national treasury was being consumed excessively, and a war was about to begin. They needed an urgent idea for a cost-saving tea method.
