Lu Xiufu's answer is decent, and it is exactly what the Great Song Dynasty has been trying to do for 200 years to get rid of 'redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses', and there is no creativity, it belongs to reducing consumption by throttling expenditure, and increasing taxes to increase fiscal revenue, but the way of increasing taxes contradicts its desire to reduce the burden on the people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info, but Zhao Hao thinks that his ideas are not only lacking in novelty, but also contradictory, and very 'idealistic', in a word, they stink.

"Lu Xiang, do you think it is appropriate to streamline officials under the current circumstances?" Zhao Yu listened and thought for a while, he licked his lips and asked.

"The minister thinks it is appropriate, Qiongzhou is just a state land, but it is concentrated in the court, the system, the Fu Division, the state, the county at all levels of government, the institutions overlap, it is inevitable to do things procrastinating, shirking, complicated, if it is not streamlined, it will not be overcrowded, and it will cost money and food!" Lu Xiufu said that he felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Lu Xiang, what do the officials who have been cut down want them to do, and how can they make a living after reducing their income?" Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, why bother about this, they have their own way!" Lu Xiufu thought that the little emperor would raise the question of how to lay off and who to lay, but he didn't expect it to be a matter of livelihood.

"Lu Xiang's words are wrong!" Lu Xiufu said it so contemptuously, Zhao Yu felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, modern laid-off workers also gave some money to buy out their seniority and introduce some preferential policies!

"Oh, what's wrong with the minister?" Lu Xiufu asked puzzled.

"Prime Minister Lu, no matter what the purpose of the officials in the court is broken, they abandon their families and businesses, regardless of life and death, and follow the court without regrets, do we just drive them out of the court just because the treasury is empty and reduce expenses?" Zhao Yu asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, these officials have indeed made meritorious contributions to the country, but they should also share the worries of the country, and they are all full of wealth and have the talent to govern the world. Born can assist the king, retired children can also write books behind closed doors, or cultivate and read heirlooms, how can they worry about their livelihood. Lu Xiufu said.

"Hehe, Lu Xiang is too optimistic, but I've heard a country slang saying - the most useless is a scholar!" Zhao Yu shook his head secretly, did he also live in that, and said with a dry laugh.

"Your Majesty, the ministers dare not agree with this statement, if there is a difference with the ministers, please make it clear, you must not despise the world's scholars so much!" Lu Xiufu said with some annoyance.

"Lu Xiang, Your Majesty's words are not rough, if those scholars in our countryside can't get fame and fame, leave home to be officials, and can't carry them on their shoulders, can't lift them in their hands, don't distinguish between farming and leeks, and can't hold their hoes. There are also those who sell their family's fields in order to study, and can only make accounts for others or collect a few Mengtong to chat to make ends meet, so the countrymen will say this to the children! Ni Liang interjected stupidly at this time.

"This ......," Lu Xiufu listened and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"Ten years of hard study just to be an official, this doesn't sound very pleasant, but I think this is actually the true idea of most readers, just to be able to glorify their ancestors and return to their hometown. But it's also human nature, everyone wants to live better, so you don't have to dig deeper. And these people have studied history for half their lives, just to be able to achieve fame, but they are no longer good at it, and not letting them seek jobs in the officialdom is equivalent to ruining their jobs. When the land minister was idle a while ago, I want to know the hardships! Zhao Hao secretly replied well, so not only did he not drink Ni Liang, but stepped on two feet again.

"The minister is ashamed, when he left the court, his family had no money to spare, and he could only survive by relying on the help of his friends!" Lu Xiufu blushed and said.

"Lu Xiang has been in power for more than 20 years and has been in power, but once he resigns, he still needs the help of friends to tide over the difficulties. And these ministers abandoned their homes and businesses for the country, and even ruined their families and went to difficulties, and their pockets were already empty. Behind closed doors, don't they need to eat? How many of them can cultivate the land and plough the land? The resignation of the prime minister of Lu can still have relatives and friends to help, but there are a few people in Qiongzhou's overseas land who can join relatives and friends, do they let them live by selling their children and girls? Zhao Yu asked again and again.

"The minister thinks that they are full of poetry and books and must know the righteousness......" Lu Xiufu was asked by His Majesty's red face, but he still felt that His Majesty had too many concerns, and he said.

"Mencius knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. There are people in the world who can talk about righteousness without clothes and food, but how many people can there be for thousands of years? Zhao Yu heard that he still said this, and interrupted him at the moment.

"Only the saints!" Lu Xiufu lowered his head and thought about it and said.

"However, even so, we must not talk about dismissal, otherwise there will definitely be fluctuations in people's hearts, the court will be shaken, and the people in the world will be centrifuged, which will chill the hearts of the scholars of the world!" Zhao Yu said in his heart, you also understand that only a saint can do it, and if the world has become a saint, where are these troubles.

"The ministers have been taught, but how can so many officials be settled?" Lu Xiufu was persuaded by His Majesty, but the fundamental problem was not solved, so he could only ask His Majesty for advice.

"I don't think there are too many officials, but too few!" Zhao Yu said endlessly.

"Too little?" This time, not only Lu Xiufu thought that His Majesty was crazy, but others also thought that His Majesty was stupid, and Qi Qi asked in surprise.

"Yes, I also know that there is a serious redundancy at present, but this is only because it is concentrated in Qiongzhou. If we look at the world and think that only our Great Song Dynasty is known as the 800 military states, there are thousands of officials needed, do you say that there are too many or too little! Zhao Yu had thought about this question a long time ago, and at that time he was like Lu Xiufu's thoughts, but when he thought about it, his vision was too short-sighted, he wanted to conquer the stars and the sea, how could he be blind? But now that I look at it, I am not the only one who has this idea.

"Oh, Your Majesty Shengming, it's the ministers who have appointed themselves!" Liu Dingsun reacted and bowed down. I think that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were millions when they were the most victorious, and now there are only a few thousand people in the imperial court, and even a fraction of them are not enough compared to them, if these people are like a handful of seeds scattered in thousands of acres after the restoration of the country.

"Yes, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I admire you!" Lu Xiufu also had to say that the little emperor's strange theory was reasonable, and he wanted to use these officials as a reserve of talents, so that he could go to his post immediately when he regained the lost territory in the future, which made people unconvinced.

"If the scholars of the world know His Majesty's words, they will definitely come to vote, Qiongzhou will definitely gather capable people, and there will be many talents in the DPRK and China!" Gong Xingqing also praised.

"Okay, I just want to build a recruiting platform to recruit scholars from all over the world, as long as I am willing to go to Qiong, I will be properly placed, and those who are talented will be reused!" Zhao Yu said excitedly, he knew that the destruction of Chinese civilization by the Yuan Dynasty was very serious, and he had to take on the heavy responsibility of reviving the Song Dynasty, and he should also be the defender and inheritor of Han culture......
