Chapter 154: The Worker Tricks

When Xu Qing was in Cangzhou, Li Yuan ordered Xu Qing to offer things for education, and Xu Qing wrote a "Disciple Rules", which was sent to Chang'an by Wei Xian. I haven't heard back, and I don't know what happened, it turned out to be in the ministry. In fact, it is not high, the position is more than ordinary county, Wei Xian is in Cangzhou, and he also has an official body, and he came here, but he was promoted by one level according to his merits.

Tao Nayan added: "Wei Xian has been seriously ill since he came to Chang'an last year, and now he has only recovered. ”

Xu Qing sighed: "It turned out that he was sick, so the official thanked Lord Shilang." ”

At this time, Li Yuan came back and went back to court. Fortunately, Xu Qing didn't sleep again, because the next thing Li Yuan was going to ask was related to Xu Qing, and it was the matter of martial arts.

Of course, Li Yuan would not advocate the selection of talents by himself, because this time he violated the interests of the family's shadow seals and inspections, and this offended proposal naturally had to be told by Pei Lian. Pei Lin stepped out of the ranks, and said one step earlier: "Enlighten the emperor, the ancients are cloudy, and do not make the sages ...... Last year's Wenju, the world's talented people entered His Majesty's court, and this year he will be a martial artist, and he is a fierce general in the world...... Han Gaozu Zeng Yunshi, Ande fierce warriors guard the Quartet, and the emperor is the world's fierce general...... In addition, now the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of waste are thriving, and the official title should be used to reward the prosperity of all industries, so it should be done to make clever things to save manpower and help farmers and soldiers. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the superiority of civil and military was not very obvious, at least the balance of civil and military as mentioned by Confucius was still in the hearts of scholars. However, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the family has more nobles and fewer martial arts, so the status of the generals is not very high, and when it comes to the back, the Qing Dynasty is even more amazing, and the commander of one party will take the initiative to bow and kneel when he sees the magistrate. With such light martial arts, it is no wonder that the army at the end of the Qing Dynasty was vulnerable.

Pei Lianyi proposed to do martial arts, and the ministers present were not very dissenting, after all, the current Central Plains has been unified, and when you are a military general, the probability of being a military general and doing nothing is much greater than the probability of paying homage to the marquis, so it is not an infringement of the interests of the family. Moreover, military generals do not care about the promotion and promotion of officials, and second, they are unable to govern local money and food, and if they want to make meritorious contributions, they can only kill people, so they are not only clear soup and little water, but also take chestnuts from the fire. This kind of chicken position, everyone doesn't want their own children to go.

But it is true that the poor are rich and martial, and the poor and rich are not fake. Poor Wen Fu Wu is talking about poor people studying, and rich people practicing dance, while Wen Poor Wu Fu is talking about reading articles and getting poorer the more you read, and practicing martial arts can get rich. In other words, martial arts is the easiest skill for the children of the poor family to learn, and it is also the best skill to sell to the emperor's family.

Li Yuan's move is to select the disciples of the Han family, and of course, he must also encompass the children of the military generals, as well as the concubines and second sons of civil officials. These people continue to use martial arts to improve their status, and they are the most motivated and easy to control.

However, many people do not understand what Pei Lin said. Shinong industry and commerce, being a scholar is glorifying the ancestors, and being a farmer will not lose the face of his grandmother, but if it is a business and industry, it is really humiliating to the family, and the coffin board of the old man cannot be suppressed. I don't do business myself, but I can't let others do business, especially I can't let people who do business stand on the same level as myself - officials.

"The minister has the ...... to play"

Following the voice, it was an old minister, who stepped out and arched his hand. Li Yuan looked at him, and also said respectfully: "Mr. Ouyang, please speak,"

"Cough cough, old minister, old minister heard that the workers are tricky, clever words, businessmen are profitable, and they forget their righteousness. Pei Xiang said that the old minister thought it was okay to elect military generals, but the old minister thought that the election of craftsmen was the beginning of bad morals. The old Mr. Ouyang said: "From ancient times to the present, all officials read the words of the two sages, but if the craftsman does not read it, how can he be an official?" If you don't read the words of the sage, the craftsman is lazy and lazy, and when this wind grows, won't the students in the world learn it one after another? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "What Mr. Ouyang said, I also know it, hmm, what do you think of Pei Lian?" ”

Pei Lin thought for a while and said, "Mr. Ouyang is a doctor of scriptures, I don't know if I have a word to say?" ”

Mr. Ouyang said: "Although Pei Xiang said, I will choose to follow it." ”

"The Yellow Emperor made a guide car and defeated Chi You, Fuxi knotted rope for the net, there was a Chao family to build a house, there was a Sui family to make a fire, so the sages made tools and machinery, my people began to be civilized, and then there were iron tools, saws, plows and other tools appeared, and my country became rich and strong. Therefore, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the use of craftsmen is not to take advantage of tricks to drill camps, but to make the power of one person a matter of ten people. Pei Lin is worthy of being Li Yuan's first cannon and secretary, he said slowly: "Today, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty died under the iron weapons of the Turks, and my people have been farming for a year, and hunger and cold are inevitable. ”

The old man Ouyang was stunned when he heard this: "I often hear that wealth comes from recuperation, and if you are not satisfied today, shouldn't you be at ease to let the people farm is the right way?" And now, it is just asking the people to study the skills, isn't it even more mistaken in the agricultural time? ”

Pei Lin said: "The Turks are complete in cultivation, and if the Tang Dynasty wants to cultivate, they can only go to the respect of the great country and beg the Turks." How can we allow the Holy One to suffer such insults? Mr. Ouyang, at this time, step by step to succeed or lose, the only way to win is to win by skill. ”

Old Mr. Ouyang didn't realize it when he heard this, why, how did he know that the war in front was tight, and the rear was so poor that he couldn't get grain and rice, and even to control the river, he had to buckle the rope to find a big family to borrow?

But the old gentleman is an upright person, and knowing is knowing, so he said at the moment: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know the internal situation, and the words of the party are just talking on paper, the emperor is sage, please judge yourself." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, uh, come on, help Old Mr. Ouyang to my side." ”

When the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they didn't understand what it meant, could it be that Li Yuan is here now to make a good show of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister? No, I'll have to prepare some tears, and I'll cry later.

Old Mr. Ouyang was helped to the front of the palace, and said, "Old minister Ouyang Yuan visits the emperor", and was about to kneel, Li Yuan stretched out his hand to support him, and asked, "How old man is Geng?"

Oops, it's really going to act, okay, tears right away.

Ouyang Yuan thanked His Majesty, and then sighed: "There are two in eighty, empty in this life, empty in this life......"

Li Yuan asked again: "That old gentleman, can you still see with your eyes?" ”

Ouyang Yuan returned: "I can still read it from a distance, but I can't read this book anymore." ”

Li Yuan opened an incomparably delicate box, took out a medicinal jade framed in a golden circle and handed it to Ouyang Yuan, which was the magnifying glass offered by Xu Qing. Li Yuan held Ouyang Yuan's hand, put it on a notebook and asked, "Mr. Ouyang, can you see this clearly?"

Ouyang Yuan's eyes widened, his face couldn't be believed, and he said excitedly: "Old minister, old minister can see clearly, see clearly, this, this, what is this?" ”

"This thing is called Qiankun Mirror!"
