But it was said that on this day, everyone in Taiwan was Xiao. The Hunan Pavilion was discussing, and suddenly someone came in and returned: "Beijing is in a hurry!" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly opened it, and it turned out to be Jia Huan's. The front is written about Situ Pan's current problems, such as the imperial examination, the six departments, etc., and by the way, he mentioned the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan"; Later, he picked up the important things that Princess Jian'an said that day. Everyone laughed after watching it, and Jia Huan was so easily fascinated by others.

Jia Cong said: "Don't look at what he only wrote about what Princess Jian'an said, and the most important thing was not written." ”

Xichun asked him what was most important.

Jia Cong said: "He has watched his sisters grow up since he was a child, and his vision is high. Since she fell in love with someone with only one side, the princess doesn't have to say that she must be extremely beautiful. ”

Everyone was curious and wanted to know what Princess Jian'an looked like. Xichun pouted: "Cong'er, you are a clever ghost, try to coax that brother and daughter-in-law to come to meet your sisters!" ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Brother Huan is going to report urgently in the army, and people haven't arrived in Luzhou yet." My sister is anxious to know, unless she goes to Luzhou to see her. ”

Gong Kun said: "That's it, this matter is not in a hurry, the third master of the horizontal and vertical rings and Princess Jian'an are still young." ”

Wu Youping was all in the camp, and this day just came, and he looked at him and said, "I just don't know what happened to the Seven Monsters in Jiangnan?" ”

Gong Kun lowered his eyes and said with a straight face: "I coaxed him once in the early years." Look, how should the imperial court deal with these matters? Glancing at Lin Daiyu as he spoke, "Mr. Lin? ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, gave him a face, and said, "I have thought about it just now, and Cong'er has been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Jia Cong grinned, stroked his palm, and said: "The historical task of Confucianism has long been completed, and it is time to rest." I've been looking forward to a hundred schools of thought contending. Then he said, "If there were no Confucianism, our dynasty would have been divided into countless countries. Now that people's hearts have been settled, Confucianism no longer needs to be dominant. ”

Xichun said: "I don't understand the cause and effect here. ”

Jia Cong said: "Because of the imperial examination." All Confucian children who read the books of sages within the four seas can become officials, and it is extremely difficult for the Mojia and Taoist scholars to get an official position in the court even if they are capable. The official is the right! There is no such thing as a man who does not love power, and Confucianism is almost the only way for ordinary people to gain power. Those in power in the world, regardless of their power, are all Confucian children, and the country naturally cannot be divided. ”

Xichun said: "According to what you say, it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who won the world for Confucianism." ”

Jia Cong snorted: "He is the emperor, and Confucianism orders his sons and sons to be the sons and sons of the monarchs and ministers. The king is mediocre, and the courtiers are the first to endure, and if they can't bear it, they will leave, and if they can't go, they will die, and they can't be reversed. Therefore, most of the people in the emperor's family are soldiers, and whoever grabs the chair will be counted. At present, since the kings are divided, everyone is looking forward to becoming the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the country is strong. The Mo family can be sharp, the soldiers can strengthen the army, and the vertical and horizontal family can communicate with distant relatives and neighbors for them. All these things are available to the kings. In the past, none of them had a bright future because Confucianism was pressing on them. To put it bluntly, Confucianism is only a philosophy, not a specialty, and in their eyes, reputation is more important than ability and pragmatism. The greenhouse we just made, I remember where I took a look, and the Western Han Dynasty will have it. Let a Qing official pat his head and buckle his hat and extinguish it. ”

Lin Daiyu said: "It's a summoning minister." He said, from time to time, there are things that hurt people. ”

Jia Cong snorted: "Won't a lack of vitamins hurt people?" It is easy to get sick in winter without vegetables to eat. ”

Lin Daiyu looked at him and said, "It's just a matter of talking about it, and it's important to discuss the matter." You managed to dismantle this world, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought is not a one-time success, and you have an idea about the imperial examination. ”

Jia Cong stretched out a finger: "The world was demolished by the first emperor," and stretched out a second one, "It was Sister Lin who made the first decision to let the kings join in, you, the student, and I have been greatly wronged." ”

Daiyu glared at him: "Don't worry about him." ”

Jia Cong spread his hands: "What can I do?" None of the six parts of the imperial examination have the final say on me. Situ Pan said it didn't count, the little emperor said it didn't count, and even the emperor who didn't know whether he was alive or dead didn't count. It must be discussed by the whole world. ”

Everyone was shocked! Jarvis blurted out: "Politics! ”

Jia Cong smiled and nodded: "That's right." All the princes happen to be surnamed Situ, and no one is more noble than anyone else, and no one can ascend to the top to respond to the world. Moreover, they have only recently arrived in the fiefdom, the army has confiscated their uniforms, the people have not been appeased, there is not much money and food, and their strength is insufficient, so they will not rush into action. The most important thing is that none of the kings will submit to Situ Pan! But none of them are stupid. None of the imperial examinations, the six departments, and the river disaster relief can be done by Situ Pan or a certain prince alone, and none of them are irrelevant. What can you do without discussing politics? If we can break the word of the Son of Heaven, even if we can't open a precedent for democracy, we will be one step closer. ”

Lin Daiyu nodded: "When did you start thinking of this step?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I ...... just now"

Everyone was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "I didn't think about politics before I received Brother Huan's letter. ”

Tanchun was sitting next to him and knocked him with his hand.

Gong Kun smiled: "It's also a surprise." ”

Daiyu said: "Since this is the case, this matter is decided." Cong'er wrote a letter to Beijing and asked Huan'er to try to persuade King Xian to agree to the government. can share the power of the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the kings will probably not agree, so that they can send their staff to Beijing to discuss. Who pays how much money to raise the six departments, who pays how much money to raise the political envoys, and who pays how much money to raise the Hanlin Academy. ”

Jia Cong said: "When it comes to the imperial examination, I propose a two-way choice. When asked what he meant, he said, "The imperial examination is as usual." The people who are full of learning, taking the thirteen bachelors of Wuyuan as an example, most of them are still in the capital. They give questions, take exams, and take quizzes. The little emperor is too young, and the palace test will be presided over by five or six important ministers. If Situ Pan presides, the prince next to him will definitely not be convinced. Those who are not convinced, and who are probably not very willing to use the temple test; It's better to find someone who doesn't have the surname Situ to preside over the palace test. After the palace test, send a voucher to all the jinshi, and if you want to work for which prince, you will take your own article and jinshi certificate to see the prince. Saying that, he arched his hand and said jokingly, "Lord Wang, the student is Jia Cong, the new science and technology jinshi, the twenty-second in the second grade, this is the student's article and jinshi certificate." The student happened to be a person from Hengyang, and he wanted to ask the prince for the position of Hengyang County Commander. Nai stroked his beard that had not yet grown, "Oh, you are twenty-two." This king asks you, there is such a case in Hengyang today, how will you deal with it? ”

Liu Feng suddenly spoke: "It's just that Hengyang has a county order. He originally entrusted someone to make money to the ministry, and wanted to seek to level the transfer of Yangzhou as an order, so wouldn't it be impossible to adjust? ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "He can take his official resume to King Wu, and King Wu will use him if he thinks he is a talent." As long as King Wu is not stupid, he will not hand over Yangzhou to a talented person to govern. Turning his head, the king of Chu felt that he was not doing well and could withdraw him. The officials can't take care of this. This is the benefit of the partition of kings. In the past, it was the officials who appointed the officials. The world is not the world of the officials, it is the world of the emperor. The horizontal and vertical are not their own, it doesn't matter if you choose a better one or a little worse; Or whoever gives more money will go to Fu County, and whoever is a relative of the powerful will go to Fu County. As for whether it is well governed, the people in the ministry don't care. Now all the kings have only a small piece of territory, and everyone wants to be stronger than others, and everyone is afraid of being weaker than others. They will never take money from the officials. Well, this is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. ”

Daiyu glanced at him: "The Ministry of Officials has been useless since then, and the Ministry of War is afraid that it will also be abolished." ”

Wu Xiaoxi sighed: "The Ministry of Rites is also half abolished. In addition to scientific research, the Ministry of Rites is also of little use. ”

Liu Feng said: "In addition to the scientific examination, the Ministry of Rites also has the Department of Officials of the host and guest. This is even more important. ”

Xiaoxi shrugged: "Yes, the Zongheng family has a place to go." ”

Lin Daiyu coughed: "What about river relief and disaster relief?" ”

Jia Cong said: "This is too general, you have to discuss it yourself." ”

Yuan Chun listened for a long time and said, "I haven't understood these days, Cong'er, what do you want to do?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "It's nothing, I just don't want to kneel for the emperor." ”

Daiyu said: "You can decide these things yourself." That's it, let's get down to business. What about people, what about people? Jia Cong, I lack manpower! ”

Jia Cong said: "Isn't the wasteland opening order down?" Isn't there already a rush of people? ”

Daiyu said: "It's not enough, it's far from it." ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "That's it." The tax was reduced by half in the first three years of land reclamation, and if the harvest was good after three years, he would not even pay back the half of the tax, and the tax would be reduced for another three years. ”

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid it's still not enough." ”

Jia Cong thought for a while: "Now we are extremely short of manpower, right?" ”

Daiyu said categorically: "Yes." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Those who open up the wasteland don't need a guide. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "Fugitive slaves automatically become good citizens. I don't believe in those who don't want to be slaves. ”

Daiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "That's it, try it first." Nai said again, "Next." The method of drying sea salt has been tried. ”

Yuan Chun couldn't help but hold his forehead: "In the past, I didn't notice that Lin Yatou was such a fiery personality in Beijing, I haven't eased up the last one, and you will come next." ”

Daiyu said angrily: "How could I have been such a character in the past? There are too many things, where can I deal with them if I am not happy? Let Huan'er's letter take up a lot of hours today, and there are many more to come. ”

Gong Kun said with a smile: "Don't interrupt the big girl, she is in a hurry to scold people like setting off firecrackers, and she doesn't have dirty words." ”

Lin Daiyu glanced at him: "Don't worry, sir, I don't dare to mess with my big sister." Without waiting for the two of them to speak, he continued, "The salt that comes out is good." According to Cong'er's method, the leader of the old salt workers invited to dry the brine salt, and the thin sun was diligent. What did you mean by building and covering the brine wells last time? ”

Jia Cong said: "I have already drawn the picture. As he spoke, he took out the picture, and everyone looked at it and discussed it. Then he said, "I discussed it with Uncle Wang last month. When we develop the salt drying technology and push it to the two Guangzhous, the people can make salt and buy and sell it at will. The salt tax was abolished and salt was taxed as a common thing. ”

Liu Feng raised the corner of his eyes: "Lord Wang responded?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Yes." Now that there is more and more money in Haishi, where can he afford to pay for the silver in the salt class? I will send these methods to the whole country free of charge. ”

Liu Feng said: "Give it to the prince or the people." ”

Jia Cong said: "People. ”

Liu Feng said: "I know what you mean. You think that when there is more salt, salt will be easy to obtain, and the prince and the court will not be able to pinch the salt class in their hands. ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "The people of the world have been bound by salt for many years, and they should also be removed." ”

Liu Feng said: "The princes can send troops to forcibly close the extra salt workshops. That's to grab money! Blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, and there is nothing that the princes can't do. Because the maritime merchants are rich in the end, there are only a few, and most princes are still worried about these salt money. ”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "I really didn't expect this section. ”

Liu Feng said: "Unless you quietly give this technique to a certain prince, a certain weak prince." Right now, it is the moment when the princes want to rule the hearts of the people the most. If he is willing to win the hearts of the people in this way, others will see it and follow suit. If they did not follow suit, the people under his rule moved to the place where the salt class was abolished. Speaking of which, this is also a benefit of separation. He blinked.

Jia Cong's eyes purred: "Hey, what the hell do you have an idea?" ”

Liu Fengnai turned his head to look at Jia Xichun: "Didn't the fourth girl want to see what Princess Jian'an looked like?" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment and burst into laughter in unison.

Xichun smiled: "I really want to see it." What kind of beautiful woman is she, and she hooks the ring with only one side. Saying that, he turned his head to look at Tanchun, "Why don't you go with the third sister?" ”

Tanchun said angrily: "Am I leaving?" All of you here are creditors, but I am the only one who owes money. Jia Cong, I tell you, if you don't take the silver to the blast furnace iron-smelting workshop, you won't be able to keep up. ”

Jia Cong said: "Isn't that still experimenting?" ”

Tanchun glared: "Do you know how much those tests cost?" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly raised his hands and begged for mercy: "I know, I know, my little brother will get the money." Nai sighed, looked at Xichun and said, "Fourth sister, it seems that you are not going to give gifts this time." ”

Xichun also sighed: "I know, I'm going to do business." ”

Jia Cong said: "Why don't you run more places." In addition to the salt-drying technique, there is also the cultivation of South American potatoes. Sell it to the little kings in the barren land to the west and the north, and you will surely make a lot of money back. Well, it can also be sold to Situ Pan. There was also a shortage of food in his land. At present, he relies on the fact that there are many grain depots in Beijing that are temporarily unhindered; He himself will know that it will be a curse sooner or later as the days go by. ”

Gong Kun said: "Third master, since you are short of money, why not ask the master for something?" ”

Jia Cong held his cheeks and said, "I don't want to ask his old man for money until he has no choice." ”

Gong Kun, Liu Feng and Wu Xiaoxi looked at each other twice, and said, "The third master really wants face, so he just borrowed it from the master." You will return him the day after that. ”

Jia Cong patted his head: "Yes, are you still afraid that you won't be able to do it in the future?" ”

Tanchun Daiyu also glanced at each other, and then at Jia Cong, but they didn't speak. There are more and more places to use money in the future, and the money borrowed from Jia Yu is about not enough.

Gong Kun suddenly struck the case and said: "Looking at it this way, the fourth girl is going to travel around the world." Although they sell some recipes for making salt and growing grain, they still need to be protected by proper people. General Wu has been at sea all the year round, and he hasn't visited the mountains and rivers on land for a long time, so why don't you take the opportunity to walk together, just to have a while? ”

Before Wu You could speak, Xichun said angrily: "Gong Yizhi, what do you mean? I don't know if the two of us will quarrel when we meet? ”

Gong Kun said: "Just because the two of you meet, you quarrel, and the quarrel gives me a headache." I thought about it, it's about that General Wu is usually more at sea, and you don't quarrel every time, so the next time we meet, we will continue to quarrel. This trip is not a short time, and no one has persuaded me yet! ”

Xiaoxi couldn't help but muttered in a low voice beside him: "No one advises me on weekdays." ”

"You guys just have a good time! After arguing all the battles in this life, I was about to have no interest in arguing when I came back, and everyone has been living in peace since then. Hello everyone! ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and suddenly they applauded in unison! Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
