At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shu Tai listed Cai Jing as the first of the six thieves who endangered the country. Treacherous court official Cai Taishi's position has taken shape and has not changed for thousands of years. "History of Song Dynasty" directly listed Cai Jing as a traitor biography, saying that he was insidious, ruthless and unscrupulous in attacking his political enemies. He also said that he and he confused people for personal interests, and formed a party for personal gain, which led to the corruption of the official style and people's livelihood.
Although he did not directly destroy the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty for 200 years, he was a sinner in the Northern Song Dynasty. In a word, he is one of the few traitors in history. Today, the evaluation of Cai Jing by Times Investment's Financial Review Network basically follows this tone. Even Cai's calligraphy achievements were rejected because of his treacherous image. Cai Jing, one of the four great calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, became Cai Xiang.
Today, let's take a look at this traitor in the eyes of the world. Can a traitor represent the life of a person who has achieved great artistic achievements and entered the ranks of great calligraphers? What did he do? He became a traitor forever in the eyes of future generations. Wang Anshi once counted Xiahou _ in the Northern Song Dynasty, pointing to Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian, saying that there is no talent in the world!
He also said to himself, my son Wang is one, and so is my good brother. Then he sat down and lost his way. Cai Jing was listed as one of the three prime ministers in the world by Wang Anshi, and his talent was of great significance at that time. If Wang Anshi's remarks are extreme, let's take a look at Lv Gongzhu, Wang Anshi's political enemy and Sima Guang's good friend.
When Lv Gongzhu, an old party elder in the Northern Song Dynasty, was in power, he invited Cai Jing to his mansion and made his descendants stand in a row. He said to Cai Jing, I have read countless books, and none of my descendants is better than you. He also touched his chair with his hand and said that you will definitely sit in this position in the future, and my descendants will entrust it to you.
Lv Gongzhu and Sima Guang were the leaders of the governors at that time. Their high recognition of the talents in Cai Jing is enough to show that the talents in Cai Jing have surpassed the party struggle at that time and become recognized talents for governing the country. At that time, people recognized the vision of this genius in governing the country. Why did he finally become everyone's traitor and resentment? What did Cai Jing do?
Cai Jing's economic and financial policies in the United States are simplified to convergence and autocracy in the eyes of future generations. He presided over the economic reform in the monopoly fields of tea, salt and wine, and played an important role in the development of the ancient monopoly system in China. He emphasized the use of commercial rules to manage all aspects of commodity sales, circulation and distribution, and to give full play to the role of businessmen to make commodities circulate throughout the country, thus increasing fiscal revenue.
The reform in Cai Jing and the monopoly system in the United States not only reduced the operating cost of the government, but also promoted the transformation and development of the commodity economy and society. His system became a model of monopoly system in the late Yuan Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it has been used ever since. Who can say that he has no talent? Cai Jing created a unique social charity relief system in the era of monarchical independence. In the Song Dynasty, there were not only houses for lonely old people, but also Anjifang, which was responsible for treating patients who had no money to treat diseases.
After entering Anjifang, patients will receive free treatment. What was this relief system in the Northern Song Dynasty? From the central government to local counties, a set of systems regulated by written laws has been formed. Later generations commented that although Cai Jing was treacherous, corrupt and hostile to the country, his downfall destroyed the system and was a great loss to China. Gu, when reviewing this history, later generations still lamented that his birth was untimely.
