This old man's name is Yang Biao, in this great Chen country, Yang Biao has gone through five dynasties, and now he is more than ninety years old, when Emperor Zhuangzong was there, he had become a Zaifu, that was forty years ago.

At the beginning, Emperor Zhuangzong ascended the throne at a young age, the country was in danger of overturning, Shanyue was in civil strife, the Northern Yan invaded, and even the Northern Yan people actually hit the city of Luoyang.

Just when everyone thought that Emperor Da Chen should cross south and give up Luoyang, it was Yang Biao who stepped forward and advocated a decisive battle, protected the Son of Heaven, defeated the invading enemy, and then assisted Zhuang Zong wholeheartedly, creating a Zhongxing situation in Da Chen.

After the death of Zhuang Zong, he was in charge of the dynasty for more than 30 years, the country and the people, until seven years ago, he gradually began to be weak, so he asked for Zhishi.

The first emperor repeatedly retained, but he was resolute, and after Zhishi, he was invited into the Tianren Pavilion, and now, Yang Biao has become the first auxiliary scholar of the Tianren Pavilion.

He also seems to be looking forward to the new article.

After all, he has read a lot of books here, and he really wants to see what other masterpieces are available today.

The other bachelors also laughed.

It's just that the smiles are different, such as the Bachelor Jiang, Bachelor Jiang disagrees with this, he was the leader of the Qingliu, founded Luoxue, and his protégés are all over the world, and when he was old, he entered the Heavenly Pavilion.

His knowledge is profound, and the articles over the years are difficult to enter his eyes, and because of this, he feels a little bored.

Here, Chen Yixing's qualifications are the lowest, and outside the Heavenly Pavilion, his influence is by no means small, but here, he can only be at the bottom, he smiled, and thought to himself, I don't know what kind of article will be sent next.

Not long after, someone outside sang in an ancient voice: "Liu Mengyuan, a doctor of the Academy, send a text of the time, and I respectfully invite you to taste it." ”

Entering the Qunxian Hall, it was a deaf and dumb old slave, holding an article in both hands, leaning over, tiptoeing to deliver the article in this silent Qunxian Hall.

Immediately, a scholar took it, carefully picked up the article, and he looked around, waiting for instructions.

Yang Biao had white hair, and in the candlelight, the frown on his face was even more profound, although he was old, he still knelt and sit, observing etiquette, and he said with an awe-inspiring face: "Read." ”

"Yes."

The boy said: "Taxation theory." ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "Reducing taxes, saving punishments, digging ditches, selecting meritocracy, and lightly requisitioning are the foundation of this country. And the tax reduction ......"

This article is exactly what Chen Kaizhi said.

It turned out to be an article written by Liu Mengyuan through Chen Kaizhi's exposition.

In fact, this theory of taxation has never been controversial in the Great Chen Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the people, and has formed a certain kind of political correctness.

It seems that only by reducing taxes can people with lofty ideals be benevolent, and once it is the opposite, the emperor suddenly becomes a faint monarch, and the minister becomes a traitor.

So when I heard that this article was about taxation, all the bachelors were shocked.

It's not that it can't be used as a topic, but this question won't have any new ideas at all.

Isn't this tax theory a tax cut? No matter how good your point of view is, it's still a tax cut.

Over the years, there have been many articles about tax cuts, but there are too many of them, and there are many of them.

There are too many such views in the past, what other flowers can you blow out? This is like, in the last life, after Tang poetry was popular, the Song people stopped writing poetry, and loved to write words, not because poetry was bad, but because the ancestors had directly pushed the creation of poetry to the peak, and the descendants could no longer surpass the predecessors, so why bother to make yourself uncomfortable?

Because of this, everyone is interested, and it must be remarkable that the tax theory can be recommended by the doctor.

But as they listened, the faces of the scholars changed.

There are people who oppose the reduction of taxes? This was obviously a big surprise to everyone.

That Bachelor Jiang suddenly slapped the case angrily, his wrinkled face twitched, and he spat out with displeasure: "Ridiculous." ”

The boy who read the article was stunned for a moment and paused.

Yang Biao's face was not shocked, but he said, "Keep reading." ”

"Taxation is the foundation of the country, and it is not solid at all, so why should the imperial court be close to the people, love the people, and love the people......"

When the boy reads, "Take it from the people and use it for the people." ”

All of a sudden, the air in this group of virtuous halls seemed to suddenly become tense.

Yang Biao, who was listening quietly, was shocked by his body, and he closed his eyes and thought deeply.

The other scholars all had strange expressions on their faces.

When a text was finished, the boy accepted the article and saluted Yang Biao.

This tense air is still hanging in the Qunxian Hall.

Call......

"Who did this?" Yang Biao opened his eyes slightly, stroked the case with his hand, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were slightly deep.

"Back to Yang Gong, this is recommended by Liu Mengyuan of Wenchang Academy, and Chen Kaizhi of Wenchang Academy."

Chen Kaizhi?

Chen Yixing, the king of Jing, who was sitting in a serious manner, had a somewhat gaffe on his face.

His mind suddenly came to mind the scene of the young man who was as gentle as jade and himself leaning on the side of the boat and singing loudly on the boat at the top of the boat.

Those days were the most relaxing moments in his life, laughing and sorrowful, revealing his true nature, for a while, he forgot many troubles, seeing the river slapping the bottom of the boat, splashing the waves of white flowers, suddenly remembering the ebb and flow of the tide, seeing the scenery on the shore passing by, he thought of the rivers and mountains, and remembered the ancient and modern things, but laughed and talked.

The rivers and lakes are difficult, why not laugh out loud?

"Chen Kaizhi?" Chen Yixing blurted out subconsciously.

Yang Biao couldn't help but look sideways, stared at Chen Yixing, and asked curiously, "What, Your Highness recognizes this person?" ”

Chen Yixing couldn't help but sigh: "I had a one-sided relationship, I was young and very open-minded, but after all, I was young and didn't know the hardships of life, so I would have this article." ”

When Chen Yixing said this, he had some meaning to exonerate Chen Kaizhi.

Although his opinion is very politically incorrect, he is still a child.

Some of the bachelors who don't agree with it really look better.

Yang Biao stroked his beard, but laughed and said, "Is he, he really a young man?" ”

"Exactly, please don't be surprised." Chen Yixing sighed.

Yang Biao's face was dark, and he said to the boy: "Take the text and show it to the old man again." ”

The boy hurriedly bowed forward and presented the article.

Yang Biao lowered his head, and began to look at it meticulously, and in the end, he muttered: "Take it from the people, use it for the people, well, wonderful, wonderful." ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.

This means that this article has been approved by this Celestial Pavilion's first assistant scholar?

Then Mr. Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "It's just crazy words, how can Yang Gong give such praise?" ”

Yang Biao raised his eyes to look at Bachelor Jiang, and asked with a straight face: "When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, how was the tax payment compared to today?" ”

Bachelor Jiang was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, but replied: "When Taizu was here, the taxes were more than twice as much as today. ”

Yang Biao said with a light smile: "That's it, taxes are the foundation of the country, then, when Emperor Taizu Gao is here, can the people be happy?" ”

Bachelor Jiang hesitated and said: "Emperor Taizu Gao Shengming, the people are quite rich. ”

"That's it." Yang Biao continued to say: "Since Taizu, everyone thinks that tax reduction is love for the people, but as everyone knows, as Chen Kaizhi said, tax reduction, where is love for the people, it is clear that the court shirks its responsibility." ”

He sighed deeply, and then sighed.

"The essence of the imperial court lies in the peace of the people, otherwise what is the use of the imperial court? But if there is no tax to support, how to reassure the people, how to protect the people, how to love the people? The old man ruled the world for 30 years, at first, he didn't know this reason, only when he really became a family, did he know how difficult the state affairs are, if there is no tax fundamental, where does the imperial court's military support, relief, and education come from? ”

"Princes, you are all wrong, since Emperor Taizu Gao, everyone is wrong, the mistake is wrong, thinking that the tax reduction can make the world Haiyan River clear, but I don't know, the tax reduction and reduction, is the prevarication of my Dachen people, the direction of the imperial court, should be how to use this tax to benefit the people, the people's fat and people's ointment, for reality, rather than blindly reducing taxes, back then, the Jiageng Rebellion, the invasion of the Northern Yan, and the destruction of life, the corpses are thousands of miles, and the blood is drifting, why is this? Since the time of Taizu, the imperial court has neglected to control the water, so that every flood season, the flood floods, and the people of dozens of prefectures and counties overnight, the wealth they have accumulated suddenly turned into nothing, why is this? After all, it is because the imperial court only blindly reduces taxes, but refuses to collect taxes, and vigorously fights soldiers and horses, and greatly promotes water conservancy. ”

"This article can be described as far-sighted, not succumbing to petty profits, is this really the opinion of the young man?" Yang Biao looked at Chen Yixing.

Chen Yixing was already shocked, he read 100,000 volumes, almost every sage book, with tax reduction as a love for the people, so he thought fixedly, and thought that Chen Kaizhi was full of food and wanted to be crazy, who expected, Yang Biao talked eloquently, it actually gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

Chen Yixing hurriedly said: "This person is only fifteen or sixteen years old. ”

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, showing a little surprise.

He just thought that the so-called youth in Chen Yixing's mouth was just relatively speaking, for them old bones, thinking about it, this young guy should be over thirty or forty years old, but ......

"It's so young and so profound, it's ...... It's really rare, the old man proposed ......"

He became solemn and continued in an astonishing tone: "This article can be included in the list of heavens and people!"

Entering the Celestial List......

Although it is only an initiative, in this Heavenly Pavilion, the Heavenly and Human List is a long-sealed memory.

The so-called celestial list means that once a novel point of view or excellent article is discovered, it can be proposed by the bachelors and the final decision can be made by the scholars.

Once it is recognized by the majority of bachelors, it can be included in the list of celestial beings.

Once you enter the celestial list, it is a supreme honor for a reader!
