    Therefore, Hai Rui's article only clarified the view of justice and interests expressed to Zhao Hao that day, and clearly expressed his clear attitude of protecting industry and commerce, announcing that he only wanted to fight against the parasites who took advantage of others and sucked the wealth of the people.

    "Compared with Li Zhi's heroic article, this one seems less sharp, and it does not have such a high theoretical level.

    But the effect is ten times and a hundred times greater than that of Li Zhi.

    Without it, this was the work of Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian. He made it clear to the 20 million people in the south of the Yangtze River that he did not hate wealth. He especially admired hard work and was not opposed to getting rich through industry and commerce.  Announce his clear stance on protecting legitimate income and encouraging industry and commerce!

    Li Zhi knew that as soon as this article came out, the rumors of "hatred against rich people" surrounding Hai Rui would be dispelled, and people in Jiangnan would soon settle down.

    This time he was completely convinced.  The two have similar views, but it is precisely because of this that they stand apart.

    He felt that he was just a talker who was afraid of making a fuss, but Haigong could look at the overall situation, appease people's hearts, rectify the source, and set the tone for governance.

    "You deserve to be just a teacher, but someone else can be the governor of Yingtian."

    Li Zhi no longer had the idea of ??competing with Hai Rui. He put down his article, accepted his teachings, and prepared to resign.

    Hai Rui glanced at him and asked calmly: "Are you Li Zhuowu?"

    "It's my subordinate." Li Zhi didn't expect that the new governor actually knew about him.  "Zhongcheng knows Xiaguan?"

    "It's hard not to know about Li Mingshou, the famous Li Mingshou in Suzhou City." Hai Rui said with a half-smile, "Whether your opinions are right or wrong, there is a very serious problem."

    "Please give me some advice from Zhongcheng." Li Zhi immediately entered cockfighting mode, preparing to argue with Hai Rui.

    "After all, you are the only one who can speak for yourself. How can it be that the government school has become your sole proprietor?" But Hai Rui suggested: "We might as well follow Mr. An Ding's example and invite more famous scholars from home and abroad to debate together."

    Li Zhi was so smart, how could he not realize that Hai Rui was trying to protect himself.  A rabbit is very conspicuous when it appears on the street, but naturally it is less conspicuous when hidden in the woods.

    ¡°And you can also improve your own doctrines and further enhance your reputation through debates. This is indeed a good idea.

    "I accept my orders. Even if a hundred schools of thought contend, they can still be found by seven or eight schools of thought." Li Zhi bowed and saluted again, much more sincerely than before.

    This is tantamount to receiving the royal flag and being ordered to talk nonsense

    Hai Rui took another look at Cai Guoxi, who was standing on the other side of the major case at some unknown moment.  "Does Magistrate Cai think it makes sense?"

    "It makes so much sense." Cai Guoxi said with admiration on his face: "Zhongcheng has a commanding position, and his words are worth a lot of money. In this way, Suzhou's culture and education will surely be revitalized. It's true that there was Fan Gong in ancient times, and Haigong today!"

    "Don't give this court a high hat." Hai Rui still said with a serious smile: "How about we just use this question in this first debate?"

    Cai Guoxi just stood next to Li Zhi and read Hai Rui's article.  Although he found that he had gone off topic, he was still in a happy mood.

    Because Hai Rui made it clear that he would not hate the rich, let alone attack industry and commerce, this was the best thing for Suzhou Prefecture, which was richest in the world and based on industry and commerce.

    Since he had guessed Hai Rui's intention, Magistrate Cai naturally nodded and said: "This is a good topic, especially suitable for discussion in Jiangnan. It can also be used to give guidance to the gentry and the common people, so as to rectify their hearts."

    As Governor Cai spoke, he glanced at Hai Rui's face with his peripheral vision, and when he saw the look of approval on his face, he suggested:

    "How about selecting a few articles with good intentions from today's articles, compiling them into a collection, printing them in batches, and sending them to the officials and gentry in each government to understand them, so that everyone can participate and speak more meaningfully.  .¡±

    Hai Rui nodded and said, "Prefect Cai is tolerant and magnanimous, and he also has a high level of perspective when it comes to issues, so I'll do as you say."

    After a pause, he finally showed a smile and said, "But let's let the governor's office seal it. It will also make the governments pay more attention to it."

    "Yes." Magistrate Cai and Niu Qianshi responded quickly.

    ??~~

    Although Hai Rui did not give a deadline, Niu Qianshi took the initiative to put pressure on himself, and the engraving, printing and binding were completed in just three days. After asking Hai Zhongcheng to read it, he immediately distributed the booklet to all prefectures under his jurisdiction.

    After reading this, all the prefectural and county chiefs finally felt less panicked.  Because this means at least three things.  First, Hai Gong can sense everyone's worries and is willing to reassure people.

    Second, Hai Rui expressed support for industry and commerce.  This is also the most important point. After all, there is no area like Jiangnan in the entire Ming Dynasty that has a small population and a high reliance on industry and commerce.?If the governor follows the strategy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business elsewhere, it will definitely be a disaster for the prefectures.

    Third, Hai Gong is not as stubborn and extremely hateful of wealth as the legend says. This is a timely reassurance for the wealthy class.

    "However, Hai Rui's demands on the officials have not been compromised at all. The "Governor Regulations" will force the officials to become ascetics with him, ugh

    Not surprisingly, this booklet titled "On the Desires of the Rich and the Noble" was soon placed in front of powerful families and wealthy businessmen in all the governments in the south of the Yangtze River.

    After reading the first article, the rich men who lived in mansions with blackened doors, wore patchwork robes, and ate porridge with pickles, shed tears of gratitude.

    "We have wronged Hai Gong"

    "Hai Gong is benevolent and righteous!"

    ¡°I¡¯m so stupid, really, that I managed to book a very delicious private room but didn¡¯t eat it¡­¡±

    The rich men all burst into tears of gratitude, as if a fat pig was thanking the butcher for not killing him.

    "Here, come on, pour the pig food on the table and throw away all these junk things in the house!" The man who had been suppressed for too long suddenly swelled up.  "Take out my Hailong's hat and Foxzai's coat. I'll stop pretending. I'm a fucking rich man!"

    ¡°Hurry up and book a table at Weiji Xian, let¡¯s celebrate tonight!¡±

    "Go to Chenxiang Street and ask if Miss Zheng and the others are back. I want to be full and warm tonight!"

    Rich people who have been dormant for almost a month have stepped out and started retaliatory consumption.

    Suzhou was the first to get the news. The sensual places outside Changmen reopened almost the same day, and big teapots ran around the city with fragrant invitations, inviting patrons to come and have fun.

    In fact, many of the girls haven¡¯t come back yet, and the old madam can¡¯t wait to go into battle in person.

    But there is nothing we can do. The business situation this year is too bad. If we don¡¯t work hard to open our business, we will not be able to survive the new year.

    Within a few days, Nanjing City also received the news.

    The restaurant was so delicious that it was fully booked on the same day, and the tables were already reserved a month later.

    The river towers on the Qinhuai River are also lit up with beautiful lights one after another.

    Amid the sound of lanterns and shadows, the boat boats on the river also reopened for business, and Jinling City returned to the feasting and feasting it should have.

    ????????????? It¡¯s like a sudden spring breeze coming overnight, and thousands of pear trees are blooming

    ps.Third update.  Also, let me explain that Li Zhi¡¯s economic thoughts are not fabricated by me, they are indeed those of Adam Smith.  And I am not a liberal, but Li Zhi was indeed very precious to the Ming Dynasty at that time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
