Chapter 275: On Politics

"The remarks of the two of them made the heavenly concubine laugh, the southern Xinjiang strategy of the concubine, and the various sparse performances in recent years, the lower officials have read it, it can be described as a pearl of words, but this economic development is sparse, although most of the people who have seen it, they know that it is well written, but they are also the same, not completely thorough, Ma Zhou is based on his own knowledge, it is considered to have some unique insights, but it can only be regarded as reading the fur of this sparse play, the lower official is ashamed of himself is not as good as him, today it is rare to be in front of the horse master, Can you elaborate on the gist of this letter for us, so that we can make some progress and better serve the court in the future. ”

Xu Jingzong's goatee is meticulously trimmed, and it gives people a sense of modesty and seriousness when he speaks, if the dialogue between Zhang Zhizhi and Ma Zhou is just a little bit of dry goods in economic development that have been dissolved, then Xu Jingzong is directly begging for a pot of boiling water in Xiangyanglin, and all the remaining dry goods are dissolved, after all, the literal meaning, only the original author can explain it most clearly, looking at Li Er's smiling glance at his eyes, Yanglin is naturally not good to refuse, so he said:

"In fact, economic regulation and control is nothing more than a degree of relaxation, make a prediction in advance, it is easy to break if it is too weak, and it may be broken if it is too strong, what the imperial court has to do is to prevent it from being too weak or too strong. Its overall idea is still in line with Lao Tzu's golden mean, but to turn those universities into some specific things to govern the country, many people may not be able to understand it for a while, but as long as you ponder it carefully, in fact, there are many traces to follow, you only need to look back at the political development of the Tang Dynasty for a few years, it is not difficult to taste some of the true meaning.

His Majesty is a descendant of Lao Tzu, and since he came to power, he has always implemented a moderate and benevolent government, and he has done a very good job in this regard, but the local officials do things, but the situation is very different from that of the central officials. The center grasps the overall situation, has a long-term vision, and even thinks and analyzes beyond the existing boundaries. First of all, we must think about it, try, demonstrate, and even practice testing, don't take it for granted and make a rash decision, under the premise that the plan is effective and feasible, don't be afraid of difficulties, and resolutely implement it is enough to change the situation.

Local officials, on the other hand, should adapt measures to local conditions in the actual situation. Think more about it, so as to be flexible and flexible, and achieve the goals planned by the center, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and improve the standard of living as the principle. Take the two examples of Master Zhang and Master Ma as evidence, Lord Zhang has been studying in the palace since he was a child, and his academic attainments have reached an unfathomable level at a young age, but he has never moved around the world. It can be said that there are many streets in Chang'an City, and each street is full of people who do what they do to make a living. He didn't know what the current market was for all kinds of livelihoods, and Master Ma traveled all over the world when he was a teenager, and he stayed in the fast-growing Chang'an City for five or six years. Appointing him as the head of a county, he can do a good job quickly and understand a lot, while Master Zhang can't, because he is interested in the economy. The things in the world are not thoroughly understood, so there is a relatively simple admonition just now, which has nothing to do with profound knowledge and ideological morality, and is completely caused by the times in which we live.

If the central officials analyze and predict the general trend in advance according to the actual situation, make more plans, conceive ideas, and demonstrate, and the local officials do more practical things and flexibly handle problems, then the entire political and economic system will develop steadily and upward, and the specific work plan, whether it is the central government or the local officials, will be able to speak with facts as the principle, and they will be able to go unfavorable. ”

Yang Lin did not explain the content of the economic sparse to them sentence by sentence, the economic development outline was written after Yang Lin and Li Lizhi got married, according to the existing situation of Datang, a few years later, it may not still be applicable, what he is most annoying is that these ancients like to stick to the rigid routine, not according to the actual situation to interpret it flexibly, so use a well-known sentence as a conclusion to let these four new political rookies in Datang understand well.

"Hahahaha, it's good to speak with facts, it's really not right anymore, but the lower officials have a question, if the local officials do everything on their own and deal with it flexibly, then the center's control over the local officials will become extremely poor, and it will change over time, after all, everyone's greed and hatred are endless, and the horse master can have a solution?" Li Yifu was the last to speak, but he was also the sharpest question, as the emperor of the feudal empire, even if he was concerned about the people's livelihood on the surface, in his heart, he was actually more concerned about the loyalty of the ministers and the people.

As Yang Lin said, relaxing the specific methods of local officials will lead to excessive power of local officials, and even the situation of tyranny and oppression of the people, after all, not everyone's ideological and moral character is so noble, and even the current emperor is a rebel.

Yang Lin didn't rush to answer this question, but lifted the wine cup in front of him and took a sip slightly, of course, he would also take the opportunity to look at Li Er's face, and saw the father and son in the direction of the main seat moving towards the table full of dishes by themselves, with the same expression, Yang Lin instantly understood something, today, I am afraid that Li Er deliberately used Yang Lin's mouth to knock and beat these four little adults, this is Li Er wants to use their rhythm, but I am afraid that their loyalty and ability are not enough, let them see the talent of Yang Lin, the first wise man in the Tang Dynasty, Perhaps it will be of great help to them after they take office, at least in terms of considering policy strategies, their horizons will be much broader.

"Dare to ask Lord Li, why did the Ancient Dynasty overturn, and how did it overturn?" Yang Lin put down the wine cup and asked Li Yifu rhetorically.

"The demise of Qin, is the emperor tyranny too fierce, the people are miserable, then the Quartet heroes rebelled, the second died, and then there were strong men, traitorous eunuchs, the princes divided, did not listen to the emperor's edict, to the people's uprising as a guide, led to the late Han Dynasty princes to fight, the emperor finally lost the national weapon, and then Jin, Sui, are all died in the faint monarch without a way, and the death of Qin, much the same. If we talk about why it was subverted and how it was overturned, it was mostly because of the emperor's improper administration, which caused the anger of the people in the world and rose up. ”

Li Yifu's knowledge is not the highest among several people, and his experience and qualifications are not the highest, and even the posthumous reputation is not very good, but he is a person who has been active in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty for decades, and he is naturally a little smart, and his words are particularly rough, so rough that Li Er is too lazy to listen to them, but he also said a unique level, because the current emperor is anti-Sui and became the emperor's business, and he can't talk about the real reason, so he can only say that the emperor of the previous dynasty is not good.

"Lord Li is right, but he is only right for a little reason, why are the last emperors of the Qin, Han, Jin and Sui dynasties mediocre? I think they were not born stupid, but their growth environment made them stupid, but the root cause of their failure has to be summed up in one sentence, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, that is, whoever has the most powerful force is the ruler of this world, and their dynasty is eventually destroyed by the people with weapons, which is the root of their demise, so as an emperor, as long as he has the absolute military combat ability, there is no need to fear the rebellion of individual officials who govern the local government.

Of course, everything is based on force, so is it true that as long as an emperor can fight, he can ensure that the dynasty is not defeated? That's not necessarily, war needs to be based on politics, there is no good political environment, no matter how fierce the army is, there is no food, and it can't win against others, and there will be civil strife, the dispute between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu's army is several times stronger than Liu Bang, why was it defeated? During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had many defeats in his life, but why did he make Wei the most powerful? Any large-scale war that can determine the change of dynasty is undoubtedly not the overall strength of the competition, and whoever can gather a little more force will win, so an important factor in ensuring a country's strong military capability is that the political environment is excellent, and the military and the government complement each other and are indispensable.

However, what emperor can ensure that his descendants and heirs all have military and political talents? The founding emperors of the Qin, Han, Jin, and Sui dynasties were all talented people, how about the children and grandchildren they carefully cultivated? In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few talented emperors. Therefore, if the emperor wants to ensure that the dynasty will last forever, the existing system is probably still far from perfect, whether it is to give more power to the center, or to give more rights to the magistrates, or even to give the people more power, it is difficult to grasp the proportions, and once the control is not good, it is very likely to lead to the demise of a dynasty, and it will not take too long, at most a few hundred years.

Now, then, we have to think about how to pass on a good political system while weakening the artificial influence of the emperor. ”

Yang Lin said this, Li Er suddenly put down the chopsticks, and a fierce anger rose in his face, Yang Lin just said that this paragraph has been a little off-topic, and even fundamentally negated his achievements, although the system of the Tang Dynasty is constantly making slight changes, but it mainly follows the main system of the Sui Dynasty, especially the sub-feudal system, which is almost copied, the number of powerful and noble clans is huge, and there is still a huge gap between the people and the people. But this is what Li Er doesn't want to see, and even he doesn't want to hear others say that the powerful dynasty he established with his own hands can't go far, this kind of big rebellion, Yanglin can be regarded as touching the scales of rebellion this time, and even the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai are displeased.

However, don't underestimate the strength of this emperor through the ages, after the anger in his nose was pumped like a bellows for two minutes, Li Er actually sat up straight again like no one, and picked up chopsticks, and went to a plate of beef clips on the table, chewing in his mouth and saying: "This braised beef tastes really good, well, don't stop!" Go on. (To be continued......)
