Chapter 15: Asking for Lang
Li Yue saw that the two important ministers of the court wanted to listen to themselves and continue to spray, so let's spray, in his previous life, as a bitter liberal arts dog, he had no other skills, and he was the best at criticizing current politics, and before he came back, he also read the book for half an hour and roughly understood the national conditions of Daliang. What's more, we have more than 1,000 years of historical experience than them.
Li Yue stretched out his arm and shook the wide Confucian shirt and embroidered robe, and his mouth was like a surging river, endlessly:
"The world's knowledge is as vast as a sea of smoke. And this poetry is just the tip of the iceberg. Confucius taught people, the six arts are fine, and the cultural relics go hand in hand. Later generations of Confucianism distorted the meaning of the ancestors, and only knew how to find chapters and excerpts, which harmed future generations endlessly.
It is not unfair for the imperial court to elect officials based on literary talents, and poor children also have the opportunity to be Tian Shelang and ascend to Tianzitang at dusk.
However, the content of the exam is single, so that students all over the world have become two-legged bookcases.
Taking our dynasty as an example, during the difficult years, the ghost invaded the south, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were helpless and could only sit and wait for death. In the end, the old capital was lost, and the emperor was imprisoned in the poor north. Every time the younger generation thinks about this, they can't help it! ”
The scars left by the torture on his body were still faintly painful, and the pain all over his body made Li Yue feel that he had completely integrated into this time and space. He is the Liang people, and the shame of the Liang people is his own shame, he gritted his teeth and said: "One day, the country and the family will hate, and I will let the ghost pay for the blood debt." ”
Hearing this, Wen Bin and Zhang Qi were full of indignation, but they didn't interrupt the gushing Li Yue, and continued to listen to him carefully:
"What the imperial court needs is a pillar who can kill thieves with martial arts, be able to be safe and secure, know astronomy and geography, and is by no means a broad scholar with a big head. If you only know how to dance and write ink, how can you save the society from danger? Turning the tide? Everywhere is the knowledge of saving the country and helping the people. For example, Zhuge Kongming made Kong Ming lanterns, and its principles involve heat and mechanics, which can be classified as physics; In addition, if the composition of the existing gunpowder in the beam is slightly adjusted, increasing the proportion of saltpeter to 7 and a half, sulfur to 1 percent, and charcoal to 1 and a half, the power of the firearm can be multiplied, and this problem can be classified as chemistry. ”
"Oh?" Wen Bin finally couldn't help but interject and asked, "The virtuous nephew has this good method, why don't you dedicate it to the court as soon as possible." ”
"There are thousands of horses in the world, but there may not be Bole!"
Listening to Zhang Qi's words, Wen Bin shook his head and lamented: "The clay kettle thundered, but Huang Zhong Dalu abandoned it!" ”
Things in the world are sometimes so unreasonable, General Zong Peng led the army to fight with the ghost in the rain of swords and arrows for more than ten years, and was unjustly killed in Dali Temple, his family property was confiscated, and his family was exiled to Lingnan.
However, the traitor Li Linzhong, who only knew how to figure out his intentions, wagged his tail and begged for mercy on the ghost, and bent his knees to compromise, but the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and after enjoying all the glory and wealth, he died at the age of 66.
A small banner head of the Holy Protector Army, even if he has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, what can he do? It's not that he was thrown into prison and tortured.
And if he hadn't judged the situation, retreated bravely, and resigned for retirement, it is estimated that the ending would not be much better than Zong Peng.
Li Yue's next words made Wen Bin stunned again:
"The system of scientific research is only one of them, and the second of the maladministration of our dynasty lies in the fact that the emphasis on literature and the suppression of military force are too much, so that martial arts are not yet practiced and the people's customs are weak. In the event of an invasion by a strong enemy, they will only accept it and do not know how to resist. ”
Wen Bin himself is a person in the army, and he feels that it is inconvenient for him to say much about this matter.
Zhang Qi, who was born as a civil official, answered: "Your Majesty also mentioned this matter, saying: 'The ancestral family law is far superior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the independent army system cannot reach it!'" ’”
"Dare to ask the virtuous nephew if there is a third?" The expectation in Wen Bin's tone was beyond measure.
If Li Yue's previous literary talent and those novel knowledge only made him feel a little amazing, then his analysis of the government and politics hit the nail on the head, but he fell into a deep shock.
Li Yue unceremoniously continued: "The third maladministration lies in unfair taxation. I have given too much preferential treatment to scholars and doctors, and those who have meritorious names are exempt from taxes. Therefore, the people who have land all put their real estate names into the homes of the gentry, and the gentry collect their rent every year, and the country is getting poorer, and the gentry are getting richer. What is even more worrying is that the state taxes are borne by the poor. In addition, my dynasty is too indiscriminate, the scientific examination can be entered, and the ancestral shade can also be enshadowed, compared with the previous dynasties, it is already ten sheep and nine herds. It is because the court is weaker, the common people are poor, and the gentry are stronger. This is the root cause of our poverty and weakness, and there is only one way to solve this dilemma, and that is to integrate the government and the people to pay for food! ”
"The government and the people pay for food in one!" Wen Bin and Zhang Qi couldn't help but repeat the last words Li Yue said.
Indeed, Li Yue's proposition already contains the spirit of equality before the modern law, and even the elites of these two great beams cannot digest it completely for a while.
"The afterlife is terrifying!" Wen Bin patted the case lightly and praised, "Zhang Xiang thinks I didn't see the wrong person, right?" ”
"Prince Wen's eyes are like torches, and it is a blessing for the court to find the materials for the pillars of the beam!" After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he got up and said to Li Yuezhengse: "Li Yue takes the order!" ”
Li Yue, who didn't like to bend his knees, had to hurriedly bow his head and kneel, and then heard Zhang Qi read aloud:
"The edict said: Li Yue, the banner head of the Holy Army, invited Lang for the Qipin Dynasty, and the right to know the year-old coin, and raised 200,000-year-old coins within three days, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will be severely punished!"
Confused, Li Yue took the edict in Zhang Qi's hand, Xie Wanen stood up and asked puzzledly, "This is?" ”
"The king of Wu'an County will help you enter the office with grace, don't let down the prince's kindness!" Zhang Qi explained.
"But how do I scrape together 200,000 coins in these three months?" When Li Yue heard that he had raised 200,000 coins in three months, his heart was suddenly like ashes, and he felt that it was better to let himself go back to the cell of Dali Temple directly.
"The ghost was originally going to increase the 300,000-year-old coin, but Lord Zhu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, only reduced it to 200,000 after fighting for reason." Wen Bin smiled a little weirdly: "Your Majesty said that the 200,000-year-old coin was caused by you, and it should be solved by you1"
"Three months! Two hundred thousand! Your Majesty is asking me to rob it? Or let me steal it? Li Yue couldn't help but pour bitter water, "I just went to the gambling house to close the pounce, and you have to give me some capital, right?" ”
"Well, the prince and I will each sponsor you 10,000 yuan. You'll have to figure out the rest. ”
Feeling Zhang Qi's ill-intentioned eyes, Li Yue reacted at this time, tonight's banquet and the 200,000-year-old coins were their test of themselves. Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
Li Yue saluted helplessly and said: "Thank you for the love of the prince and Zhang Xiang, and the lower official will go back to think about how to raise 200,000 coins." ”
After Li Yue left in a hurry, Wen Bin called out the letter and asked, "Have Li Yue's words been recorded today?" ”
"Uncle, word for word!" Wenxin handed over the transcript in both hands.
Wen Bin turned to Zhang Qi and said, "I'm tired of Zhang Xiang polishing it and then presenting it to the saint." This kid is indeed rich and rich, but it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and arrogant, and occasionally his words will be excessive! ”
Zhang Qi took the manuscript from Wenxin's hand: "It's a trivial matter, and it's wrapped up in this official." ”
After saying that, the two of them couldn't stop laughing at the same time.
