"Hehe, this is spreading so fast?" Li Buqi couldn't help laughing.

Gao Zunyu said: "Many people are jealous of your holy family. He didn't go around in circles: "And Fan Dashen is in the limelight for a while, how can he not be eye-catching?" ”

Although Li Buqi knew that the "Qingli Reform" would fail in the end, he still hoped that these generals would make less trouble, and not for anything else, so that those civil officials could perform more fully, so that the emperor could recognize their true colors.

So Li Buqi continued Gao Zunyu's words: "Hehe, the official family also showed me the note written by Fan Dashen today. Although I think it would be very difficult to carry out these things at the same time, I still suggested to the officials that a clause on 'valuing industry and commerce' should be added. Well, the official family has high hopes for Fan Dashen. ”

Gao Zunyu keenly grasped the meaning of Li Buqi's words and said, "It turns out that my brother doesn't agree with Fan Dashen very much." Don't hide it from my brother. Now Fan Dashen's article has spread. Ouyang Yongshu, Cai Junmo, Wang Junzhen and others are constantly in the book. ”

Gao Zunyu was still young, and concern was brought out on his face. Li Buqi smiled and said, "Does my brother care about this?" Isn't it a good thing for a family like these two brothers? ”

Gao Zunyu didn't expect Li Buqi to say this, and hurriedly asked: "It is said that a new method of grace and shade will be implemented, and there will be no more people in each family in the future." How is it good for us to open the door? ”

"You're a fan of the authorities!" Li Buqi said with a smile: "Actually, you should be the most happy to see this matter come to fruition." You have at least a few decades of experience, and you are richer than those who are big enough to learn literature, you can find the best teacher, you have been exposed to martial arts since you were a child, and you can casually enter the military camp to practice. As long as you people are willing, civil and military talents will not be a problem, right? Who can compare such good conditions? I envy you. If you don't rely on grace, you won't lack your official work. Especially at a time like this, no one wants to join the army, and the official family does not rely on you to lead the troops, but who will lead the troops?"

"Besides, how many of you Jiangmen family have children waiting for grace? A ruler and a transshipment envoy will have twenty or thirty sons and nephews who have been in power for a few years, but they will be replaced in a few years, and in a few years, how many percent of these officials will come from your generals? On the contrary, there is less grace, and you can occupy a greater proportion of the door. Do you think it's a good thing for the gate? ”

Gao Zunyu was a little dizzy, and said hesitantly: "Brother is right." It's just that I always have ordinary qualifications in my Jiangmen family, and I don't rely on grace and am only afraid of every official work. ”

Cough! I really don't want to lose any benefits. Li Buqi said: "Okay, if you say that, I can only tell you that you don't have to worry about this. Those civil servants are more anxious than you. If I were a general, I would do nothing. If you jump out of the door first to oppose it, you are actually using others as a gunman, and those civil officials will also plant the charge of obstructing reform on the head of the gate. ”

"Brother is saying that if the door is not moved, those civil officials will also jump out?"

"Haven't you heard of such a saying, brother? Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, in fact, they have to add a wife and a son. Even if you don't have the grace of the door, and you don't have some income that can't be put on the table, but which one doesn't have thousands of family wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land? But what is left of those measures? It's no wonder they're not in a hurry. It's just that they usually let others rush to the front, and they hide behind. If no one rushes ahead, they have to go shirtless. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. ”

"Reasonable! Hearing my brother say this, I was really stunned. ”

Li Buqi asked with a puzzled face: "What did I say?" I didn't say anything. It's my brother, right? ”

Gao Zunyu immediately understood that Li Buqi would not admit to saying this in front of others, so he immediately diverted the topic.

In the afternoon of the next day, he visited Ouyang Xiu, and in the evening, he visited Fan Dashen. I have to say that a great writer is a great writer, and the essays that others have changed are up a notch, and this is not acceptable.

Then Li Buqi took out the notebook he had written suggesting that the imperial court support industry and commerce: "Participate in politics and help the boy see what's wrong with this performance?" The kid played the book for the first time, for fear that something would go wrong. ”

Fan Zhongyan took the notebook and read it at a glance and ten lines, and then nodded: "Your notebook is written in a clear manner, and if you don't know, you think it is from the hands of an old official." It's just that the sentences are too complicated, and they lose their conciseness, but they lack literary brilliance. In the future, you don't need so many numbers to write a recital, it's for the relatives and officials, and the officials and ministers only need to see if your suggestion is reasonable. ”

"Huh? But when he participated in politics, the kid thought that the truth of some things was hidden in this number. If there are no numbers, the person who looks at the book will not be able to realize whether the boy's suggestion is reasonable. Li Buqi really didn't think much of Fan Dawenhao's words. The official of the Great Song Dynasty is so good, and the time to really work every day is actually not much, or Yan Xianggong still has time to write new words. If you have so much spare time, can't you study a few more numbers?

Fan Dawenhao said patiently: "The official family and the Zaizhi need to review so many notes every day, if they are as detailed as you, even these notes will not be able to be read." Moreover, the officials and ministers are all the choice of the moment, and they will judge whether your suggestions are meritorious. ”

Oh? What does this mean? Does it mean that the ministers are all geniuses and understand everything? Or do they not need to be dictated? Now that you've said that, what else do I have to say?

Seeing that Li Bu was silent, Fan Dawenhao continued: "You have indeed written very clearly about the benefits of supporting industry and commerce, but have you ever thought about it, if a businessman wants to seek profit, he must buy low and sell high, and he must compare the baht, but it is not in line with the teachings of the sage. If the imperial court supports industry and commerce, it will inevitably teach the world to use more treacherous tricks and ruin the atmosphere. In addition, the merchants pursued profits, and they trafficked silk and silk treasures, which inevitably led to the luxury of the world. Thinking about the world of Yao Shun, the people smell each other, old and dead, and do not interact with each other, so they can live and work in peace and contentment without businessmen, and their hearts are simple and not comparable to the world. Therefore, as long as the imperial court supports agriculture and mulberry, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, there will be no merchants and only less taxes. ”

"Industry is indispensable, but it's not good if it's too big. There are more craftsmen, and there are fewer people who farm. Craftsmen do not produce food and need people to provide for them, so that the farmers will not have enough food and clothing. Moreover, the number of craftsmen inevitably requires merchants to sell their products, and many merchants are needed. Have you ever thought about that? ”

Ou sells cakes, and loves to serve the right. Li Buqi knew that the emperors and officials of the Great Song Dynasty only regarded industry and commerce as a tool to make money, but they despised industry and commerce, especially merchants, but he never thought that this chain of contempt would have such a strong logical support.

It took him a long time to recover from his stunned state, and said to Fan Dawenhao: "Have you ever thought that if a farmer needs a plowshare, can he go hundreds of miles away to buy it?" Even if this farmer could do that, who would farm while he did these things? By the way, what if his family needs to sell the chickens and pigs for some money to buy medicine for his family's treatment? Doesn't all of this need to be done through a merchant? ”

Who knew that Fan Dawenhao was already confident: "In fact, these things can also be done by the government." ”
