Chapter 1848: Struggle is the way out

Why Han Yi stopped Lu Shigua from going on, it was because Lu Shigua mentioned Tuyuhun.

Because in the chaotic battle at the beginning, Li Zhi's indecision and error in judgment almost buried Tuyuhun and even made the Liaodong Battle fall short.

If it weren't for Laiji, Wang Fangyi, Pei Xingjian and others who resisted the attack of Tubo, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, the recovery of Goguryeo was of great significance to Li Zhi, because it was a great achievement that neither Emperor Yang of Sui nor Emperor Taizong of Tang had completed, and Xu Jingzong must have covered up Li Zhi's mistakes when revising the history of the country.

But in the eyes of the iron-clad Lu Shigua, it was a very shameless behavior, not only him, but many Wenchen were very contemptuous of this kind of behavior of revising the history of the country.

In these years, they despised the emperor, which was a common thing, and the Shandong scholars had always looked down on the Li family.

But it is impossible for Li Zhi to allow anyone to smear his great achievements, and if he fights for this issue, Li Zhi will definitely go crazy, and this is something he cannot compromise.

Of course, Han Yi knew Li Zhi's thoughts, so he hurriedly came out to stop Lu Shigua and proposed to classify the history of the country, which was actually to protect Li Zhi's rights and interests.

Li Zhi also knew the character of Lu Shigua, and if he didn't die in the heart of the Yellow River, he quickly dispersed the meeting.

Out of the Liangyi Palace, Han Yi immediately said: "You go to Shangshu Province first and wait for me, we have a meeting." He also said to Master Lu: "Lu Shilang, take a step to speak." ”

Cui Ji bowed to them, and then walked towards Shangshu Province.

Han Yi said: "Lu Shilang, do you know what you are doing?" ”

Lu Shigua didn't answer, but asked, "Do you think I did something wrong?" Who said that the covenant should be promoted, and if the history of the country is full of lies, do you think the country can still keep its promises? ”

If there are no lies in the history of the country, can it still be called the history of the country? Han Yi secretly retorted and said: "You are very right, but there is a difference in priority, there are thousands of people waiting for the imperial court to help them, and in terms of the new policy, Your Majesty has made great concessions, which is not easy, if you force Your Majesty to be anxious because of this matter, do you know what the consequences will be?" The matter of national history can be discussed, but it is not now, and we must go all out for the new policy now. ”

After hearing this, Lu Shigua's face softened a little, and he nodded and said: "The matter of national history can be discussed later, but you just did that, obviously to protect Your Majesty." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I am safeguarding the interests of the Tang Dynasty, think about it, Tuyuhun is blocking Tubo for us, if you announce the situation at that time to the public, what do you think the people of Tuyuhun will think?" ”

Lu Shigua said: "Do you think that no one knows the facts? A lie is a lie, and sooner or later it will be recognized. ”

Han Yi said: "Of course not, but no one knows the specific details, and they are just guessing that this should be classified as a state secret and must not be made public, because it will endanger national interests." ”

Lu Shigua said: "You can always take the national interest as an excuse, I can't say anything about you, this time I can agree, but I always think that these things, although they seem to be insignificant, but the consequences are endless, those branches and leaves fall off, and they can grow again, but if this root is rotten, then there is no way to save it." ”

Han Yi nodded and said: "I know, but this also has to be full first, a hungry person, he can do anything, morality is not hungry, there are a few people in this world who can be poor and untouchable, the same reason, if His Majesty's merits, the past and the present, he will not care about this, if we can implement the new policy well and make the country rich and strong, there will be room for negotiation on the history of the country." ”

Lu Shigua shook his head with a smile and said, "I think this is why Your Majesty must let you be this Shang Shuling!" ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "This is also the reason why I resigned from Shang Shuling, this position is not so easy to do." Let's go, we still have a lot to do. ”

Of course, Lu Shigua also knows that the current new policy is mainly about the people's livelihood, and he will not ignore the people for the sake of moral issues, no matter what, this human life is the biggest, he is a doctor, of course he knows this, so this time, he did not argue with Han Yi too much.

The two of them came to Shangshu Province, and Cui Jijian and they had been waiting for a long time.

Han Yi opened his mouth and said, "As Shang Shuling, I am very dissatisfied with your performance. ”

You're not satisfied, and we're still dissatisfied.

Ren Zhigu immediately retorted: "Why do we want to revise the tax law, isn't it just for the people, I don't know what makes Shang Shuling dissatisfied with Fang Cai's suggestion." ”

"Just one place."

Han Yi raised a finger and said, "It's just that when you think about things, you think about things with the Analects, but not your own brain." ”

Ren Zhigu was very unconvinced, and said: "I want to hear and see." ”

Han Yi said: "If the matter of benevolence and righteousness is so simple, is it necessary for the saint to talk about it every day?" It is precisely because this is the most difficult thing that the saint pours his life into the idea of benevolence and righteousness. And what about you? If young children and the elderly can avoid taxes, that is, both of them will have great value, then many landlords will use these two to evade taxes for themselves, and thousands of young children and the elderly will be harmed. How much manpower and material resources does the imperial court have to spend to investigate the identity of each child clearly. Wouldn't it be better if the imperial court used the money to help those in need? ”

Di Renjie said: "Although Shang Shuling is reasonable, this is indeed a problem, can we turn a blind eye? ”

Cui Jijian smiled: "I think Shang Shuling must have a clever plan to guide us forward." ”

Han Yi said: "This is the purpose of I asked you to come to the meeting, I want the country to become better, I want the people to become richer, just a few of us, I can tell you with certainty, this is impossible, I don't believe that we look in the mirror, our ability is not enough to help every people, this is impossible, we are not gods, we are also ordinary people." Therefore, we need to find a way to guide the people forward.

How to move forward? Of course, through our own struggle, we have to encourage the people to struggle, and the only thing we can do for the people is that if you struggle for this, you may be able to become a master, just like the spirit of the imperial examination, instead of looking at your background, which is already very difficult. Returning to this family problem, instead of teaching people to fish, it is better to teach people to fish, what can make the people progress, of course, is to study, so universal education can give the people the tools to struggle, and this is where we should work hard for this. ”

Ren Zhigu said: "Universal education needs more money!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "Then why did Zhaoyi Academy achieve such great success? ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "Shang Shuling means that merchants are used to assist the imperial court in popularizing education. ”

"Correct."

Han Yi said: "Businessmen also want their children to become talents, but you also know that it is very difficult for businessmen's children to study, and they have to be secret, but businessmen are rich!" The imperial court could issue a policy that whenever a certain area reached a certain size of the workshop, it was necessary to have an academy for the children of the workers to study. The reason is that because the workers have to go to work and have no time to take care of their families, this will cause social conflicts, and the businessmen must be responsible for this. Where workshops are concentrated, the more merchants there are, the more stamp duty is generated, and the local government also uses a part of the stamp duty for education, such as subsidizing the salaries of teachers. But this is not a metaphor, universal education will be a very important policy in the New Deal, as a welfare for the people, to make up for the damage caused by the grant of land, and when the national treasury is full, the national treasury will continue to allocate funds to strengthen education for all. ”

Di Renjie said: "This is a good thing, but in places where businessmen are concentrated, this can be popularized, but in places where commerce is not developed, how can it be popularized?" ”

Han Yi said: "I also have to build the academy, the imperial court requires those officials to be part-time teachers of the academy, as their performance assessment, I don't care what their knowledge is, I just want them to teach the children to read and write, and to know how to count, because studying is not to be an official, but to provide the people with tools and foundations for struggle." You have to remember that you are not saints, and only saints are qualified to daydream, because they focus on ideas, and you are officials, and officials should be pragmatic in their duties, and no matter how good they say benevolence and righteousness, if they can't implement it, that's bullshit, it's a waste of time and money. Another point is that at present, we have to go all out, and the rest of the other things will be put aside for the first time, and then discussed after the implementation of the new policy. ”

"Xia Guan understands."

......

"This Lu Shigua really doesn't know what to do, but fortunately Han Yi is here."

Li Zhi returned to his dormitory in a broken mind, and suddenly saw a group of slaves and eunuchs standing in front of the door, holding trays in their hands, and there were several large wooden boxes on the side.

"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

"What are you doing here?" Li Zhi knows these palace laves, all of whom are from the Middle Palace.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is on the order of the queen to send these things to Your Majesty."

"What are these things?"

Li Zhi glanced at it slightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, these are some of the queen's own jewels and title deeds. The Empress wanted to be able to donate these to the treasury. ”

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a while, he glanced at Zhang Desheng.

Zhang Desheng immediately ordered these things to be carried into the house.

Li Zhi didn't pay attention to those palace ladies anymore, and went straight into the house.

When he came to the house, Li Zhi took the title deeds and looked at them casually, threw them on the table casually, and instructed Zhang Desheng: "Fill these into the treasury." ”

"The villain obeys!"

Zhang Desheng said again: "Your Majesty, the queen donated her title deed and these jewels to the treasury, which shows that the queen has admitted her mistake. ”

Li Zhi sneered: "Can this matter be solved by admitting mistakes?" She caused the country to lose so much money, and caused hundreds of people to lose their lives, and these things were not even a drop in the bucket, and it was impossible for her to think that would make me forgive her. ”

Zhang Desheng listened to it and didn't dare to say more.
