Kong Yingda says:

"After the reform of the education system, after five years of compulsory education, students were admitted to the university to study, through his efforts, qualified graduation, the imperial court gave them the treatment of grass-roots officials, let them through the practice of production and life, accumulate experience, and lay the foundation for their development in the official career, the imperial court has done its best to be benevolent and righteous.

Like in the past, he didn't have any management experience, so he directly appointed him as a senior official and handed over tens of thousands of people to him to manage, do you think this is reasonable?

I can say that he is not as good as those who work at the grassroots level, and has practical work experience, and is more suitable to be a manager.

I sympathize with your brother's situation, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince advocated the reform of the education system, he had already left a way out for those who had received an old-style education, so that they could take the law or secretarial majors, and they could also have a way out. ”

Zhao Wannian said a few words and then retreated.

Then the Ministry of Rites Yan Ming said: "The minister has an opinion on improving the status of the industrial and commercial circles, and the business of Shinong has always been the basis of the concept of social hierarchy. As the court promoted industry and commerce, the status of craftsmen was greatly improved, and they were able to create wealth, which was acceptable to the ministers.

But those businessmen, who made a fortune, lived in luxury houses and drove luxury cars one by one, are now able to enter the house and become officials. They brought the mercenary copper stench of merchants into the court and corrupted the social atmosphere.

Those copper-smelling merchants, all of them are arrogant, and they are even more majestic than us officials. ”

This man is really not afraid of death, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he offends a large group of people from the Ministry of Commerce. ”

Several officials came out to chim.

Huo Qiang, the Minister of Commerce, was born as a businessman, and under the pressure of social concepts for many years, he was still a little unconfident. So, he took a manuscript written in advance and read it over the importance of business and the contribution he made to Datang.

Seeing his struggling appearance, Li Ning'er stood up, she took out the commercial tax statements for last year and the first half of this year and announced them, and said:

"You see, the contribution of commerce to the Tang Dynasty is very great, and the tax revenue of foreign trade alone is worth half of the tax of the imperial court. The materials they brought back for Datang increased Datang's wealth.

As we all know, Datang's foreign trade is mainly a variety of industrial handicrafts, and the production cost is not high, but also the merchants use them to exchange for gold, silver, grain, cloth and other practical goods, these goods enter Datang, increasing Datang's material supply, isn't this creating wealth? ”

Yushi Zhou Jin came out and said: "What Deputy Director Li said is extremely true. However, the arrogance of businessmen is not all because they have money in their hands, but because they collude with officials and businessmen and have backers behind them, so they dare to be so arrogant.

The minister has learned that there are many businessmen who do business with important ministers or nobles in the court, which may be contrary to the system of the imperial court, and the minister suggested that this matter be strictly investigated. ”

Zhou Jin's concubine is the daughter of a side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, and her father runs traditional businesses such as cloth villages, which are affected by new products in various markets and have a difficult business.

He was very envious when he saw that the merchants who dealt in industrial goods had made a fortune, and he also wanted to deal in industrial goods, but he had no way.

He inquired about the East Palace, Hejian County Wangfu and other places secretly dealing in best-selling products such as soap, and he was not angry, so he began to look for trouble.

Zhou Jin's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many adults. Cheng Biting Jin said angrily: "Zhou Jin, what do you mean, you have to have evidence when you speak, what do you mean by pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?" ”

"Lu Guogong, I didn't say it was you, why are you in a hurry?" Zhou Jin said.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Everyone knows that my wife's maiden family, Cui's, is in business. You are my neighbor again, and you once came to my house to discuss business for your concubine, and I said that I was a court official and it was inconvenient for me to participate in this matter, so I refused you, so you took revenge for personal gain and played shit here. ”

Zhou Jin said: "Lu Guogong, how can you hurt people? I am the imperial history, and the court stipulates that you can hear about things, and the emperor said that the person who said it today is not guilty. ”

Li Ning'er had heard about Zhou Jin, she had been impeached by him and Yushi Niu Lu back then, and now she doesn't fight when she sees him angry.

This Zhou Jin turned out to be Li Ke's henchman, and when Li Ke was belittled, he secretly took refuge in Li Tai. At that time, he was a marginal figure in the Li Tai Group, so he was not implicated.

Recently, Li Tai's power has shown signs of rising again, and he has taken refuge in Li Tai. Li Tai was jealous of Li Su and the others' huge wealth, so he instructed him to see the opportunity to provoke.

Li Ning'er said: "Lu Guogong is right, Zhou Yushi is deliberately creating trouble. ”

After speaking, she said to Li Shimin: "Father, the son of the emperor impeached the imperial history Zhou Jin for contemptuous of his father's authority, openly provoked incidents, and undermined the imperial court discipline, and should be severely punished." ”

Today's debate was completely in the hands of Li Shimin from the very beginning, and we saw that the situation was developing in a good direction. The clarification of these three issues is of great significance for solving the internal problems of the imperial court.

The strict head of the Ministry of Rites is out of the topic. Zhou Jin simply came to stir up the situation. Li Shimin's anger gradually rose in his heart.

At this time, Zhou Jin defended: "Deputy Director Li, what you said is wrong. The emperor has already said that the speaker is not guilty, and it is not me who despises the emperor's authority. ”

Li Ning'er said: "The emperor is innocent of those who say it. However, the emperor has already said that today we are discussing three prescribed topics. You didn't count the trivialities, but also violated the emperor's requirements. The emperor said that the speaker is not guilty, but there is another sentence, it is not allowed to engage in personal attacks, and what you are doing now is impeaching people, what is this not a personal attack? ”

Li Shimin can now see that Zhou Jin is deliberately provoking trouble. He will never allow the good situation that he has been brewing for many days to be ruined. He decided to make a move.

Li Shimin asked: "Wei Zheng, tell me, what should you be guilty of disrespecting the decree and despising the imperial power?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Capital crime. ”

Li Shimin shouted: "Ma Xuanliang, what are you still doing in a daze? Immediately push Zhou Jin out of the noon gate and behead him. ”

Seeing Li Shimin's anger, Zhou Jin himself was not very popular, and no one came out to intercede for him.

Li Tai opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.

Li Tai originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Li Su, but he misjudged the situation and did not take into account Li Shimin's feelings. He wanted to keep Zhou Jin, but seeing the situation in front of him, he decided to give up Zhou Jin.

Ma Xuanliang took two warriors to drag Zhou Jin out. Zhou Jin was frightened, he turned his head to look at Li Tai and shouted, "The king of the county save me." ”
