Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Fan Zheng opposes Fan Chunli's reform strategy?"

Seeing this scene, the entire Chui Gong Hall was in an uproar. No one expected such an unexpected reversal.

"Why does Fan Taicheng oppose this?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked in surprise.

The reason why he appointed Fan Chunli was to use Fan Chunli's hand to implement Fan Zheng's evil methods. Now Fan Chunli has lived up to expectations and found a way to solve the Song Dynasty's deficit crisis, but he did not expect that the first person to jump out to oppose was Fan Zheng himself.

The other officials also frowned. Judging from the style of the French camp, this must be Fan Zheng's evil recipe, but they didn't understand why Fan Zheng suddenly objected.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Wei ministers oppose this method because although this method can solve the court's deficit in a short time, it is not conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood."

"What nonsense! Merchants are responsible for their own profits and losses, and the government collects taxes. This has been proven in the Maritime Silk Road and is a feasible method. If you oppose this method now, don't you deny the previous evil method?" Yang Wei sneered. .

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Doctors always pay attention to one person's prescription when prescribing, and the same is naturally true for Fan. The merchants are responsible for their own profits and losses because of the Maritime Silk Road, and the state-owned workshops are in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, they cannot use the same method. This time the big If the Song Dynasty is short of money, it can sell off state-owned workshops. However, next time, when the Song Dynasty has another deficit crisis, how will it be sold off? This is a strategy that kills the goose and takes the egg."

Zhang Dun's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "I agree with Fan Taicheng's opinion. Although the state-run workshops have some disadvantages, they are enough to stabilize the private economy and provide tax revenue for the court. Although some flaws still outweigh the merits, how can we abandon it so easily? Please think twice!"

Taking advantage of Fan Zheng's opposition, Zhang Dun took the opportunity to report and planned to retain the state-owned workshops. After all, during the new party's reform, state-owned workshops were very easy to use and were a boost to the new party's reform.

"Then I dare to ask, does Mr. Zhang have a good way to solve the deficit of the Song Dynasty?" Yang Wei countered.

The old party believed that officials did not compete with the people for profit and took the opportunity to sell off state-owned workshops, which could completely put an end to the state's business affairs, avoid corruption in state-owned workshops, and purify the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats.

Zhang Dun was immediately stunned and could only say sarcastically: "I believe that since Fan Taicheng objects, there must be a way to get the best of both worlds!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Fan Zheng.

"Then... I'm all ears, Fan Taicheng's recipe?" Fan Chunli said coldly.

In an instant, in the court, the father and son of the Fan family were facing each other tit for tat, which was a great spectacle in the court.

Faced with his father's question, Fan Zheng did not answer directly, but said loudly: "The state-run workshops have now become a chronic disease of the Song Dynasty. Just like the human body, operations must be performed on them to remove the cancer and restore health. It is worth it." Fortunately, doctors have now created a new type of anesthetic, which is comparable to Ma Fei powder and can make people fall into a coma. Even if they are attacked by weapons, they will still not notice it, allowing doctors to calmly complete the operation. Once this medicine is released, it can be said that countless people are alive. , the stubborn disease that was so helpless can finally be cured.”

"I have also heard about this recipe. The doctor has made great achievements, so I will naturally not hesitate to reward you." Zhao Xu cooperated.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "However, although the new anesthetic is very effective, it is not perfect. Once the patient is anesthetized, he will fall into shock. Although the doctor can successfully complete the operation, the patient may also die from anesthesia."

Baiguan frowned and didn't understand why Fan Zheng deviated from the topic and instead exposed the disadvantages of anesthetics.

"And Fan Xianggong's approach of privatizing state-owned workshops is similar to the use of new narcotics. He completely abandoned state-owned workshops and sold them all to merchants. It is like a doctor's shock therapy." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Shock therapy?"

Baiguan's heart was moved, and he had to say that Fan Zheng's metaphor was very vivid. The patient took anesthetics and fell into shock, allowing the doctor to operate calmly. Fan Chunli also put the state-owned workshop into shock and carried out drastic privatization reforms. It was indeed Similar to shock therapy.

Fan Zheng continued: "Shock therapy is extremely convenient. Once used successfully, it will allow the Song Dynasty to recover from serious illness, regain its vitality, and completely solve the Song Dynasty's deficit. However, shock therapy also has the possibility of failure, and it may plunge the Song Dynasty's economy into trouble." The collapse doubled the Song Dynasty’s deficit crisis.”

Fan Chunli frowned and said: "Is this impossible? Once the state-owned farms are sold, the Song Dynasty can solve the deficit crisis in a short time, and only need to collect taxes in the future!"

In this way, the crisis in the Song Dynasty was relieved and the court was greatly relieved.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Of course it is possible! The state-owned workshops in the Song Dynasty are too huge. First of all, if it is fully privatized, the private sector will not be able to come up with so much money at once. It will only make the state-owned workshops sell at a low price, or the private sector will only want high-quality products. Workshops, some poorly trained state-run workshops will still fall into the hands of the imperial court."

"It is indeed possible!" New Party officials nodded.

Businessmen pursue profits, so they naturally cannot engage in loss-making transactions and maximize profits as much as possible.

Fan Chunli thought for a while and said: "In that case, the imperial court should first sell off the state-owned workshops that are losing money and are poorly managed!"

Fan Chunli saw the trick and immediately proposed a solution.

Fan Zheng sneered: "This is indeed a method, but the price of state-owned workshops with inexperience will be very low, which will allow people with good intentions to find loopholes, and there will be state-owned workshops that deliberately bring down well-functioning state-owned workshops. , so that they can be resold to businessmen at low prices, and huge bribes can be obtained from them, or even used as their own.”

Fan Zheng used the failed experience of shock therapy in later generations to explain the shortcomings of privatization of state-owned workshops.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking!"

Suddenly, all the officials in the court exclaimed and reprimanded angrily.

The imperial court has found a large number of moths in the state-owned workshops, so naturally it will not be more suspicious of the state-owned workshops. In addition, the privatization of the state-owned workshops will definitely be accompanied by huge benefits. What Fan Zheng said is not impossible to happen.

No! It will even happen.

"In Fan Taicheng's opinion, how should we solve the shortcomings of state-owned workshops?" Fan Chunli frowned and said.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "The private sector has its advantages, and the same is true for state-owned workshops. Naturally, what the court has to do is to take the essence and discard the dross. The opinion of the lower officials is that state-owned and private workshops coexist!"

"coexist?"

The officials couldn't help but frown. It was not that the imperial court had never thought of the coexistence of public and private affairs. Profit sharing between officials and merchants and official supervision of commercial affairs in state-owned workshops were attempts by the imperial court, but with little success.

Fan Chunli sneered and said: "After verification of the truth, many corruption problems arise in the distribution of profits between officials and businessmen and the government supervision of business operations. The coexistence of public and private has been proven to be the wrong way, and it is most likely to breed corruption."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The division of profits between the government and businessmen and the government's supervision of business affairs are indeed the most likely to breed corruption. The coexistence of state-owned and private companies mentioned by Xianguan is not a public-private partnership in a workshop, but the coexistence of state-owned and private companies in an industry! Two types of enterprises Compete with each other and grow together.”

"In an industry, state-owned and private companies coexist! Doesn't that mean officials and the people are competing for profits?" Yang Wei said dissatisfied.

All the old party officials nodded. In the old party's view, an industry must be either completely state-owned or completely private. Once state-owned and private coexist, it will definitely lead to a situation where officials and the people compete for profits. This is not in line with the way of a saint at all.
