Chapter XVII. Debate

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures."

When the boy was a teenager, he did not have a passionate and enthusiastic ideal, and he did not envy the grand scene of leading thousands of troops and horses and galloping on the battlefield, especially these new science and technology scholars, who had just achieved their life goals, in the face of this situation, who would be willing to be behind?

As soon as Li Wensi threw out the biggest topic at present, the suppression of bandits, this lofty question, all the Jinshi present instantly boiled.

"Okay, what Brother Li said is too good, this issue is not only a top priority for the imperial court at the moment, but also a pain for all the people in the world."

"Yes, if we can really put forward strong conditions for the suppression of bandits today, it will be immeasurable merit for my Ming Dynasty and the people of Limin!"

At this time, the Jinshi no longer had the calm and breezy appearance just now, and they all became extremely excited.

Seeing the lively and extraordinary situation in the square, Li Wensi couldn't help but feel satisfied, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, after this Jinshi, but he did not conduct the palace test for a long time, he noticed a trace of unusual atmosphere, although he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but he was born in a family of eunuchs, but he noticed that this was a very good time to brush up his fame and establish his own image, for this reason, he not only invited many Jinshi to come to participate in the meeting, He also tried his best to choose such a topic of suppression of bandits, which attracted much attention from the government and the opposition, no matter whether or not he got a useful proposal in the end, but he Li Wensi was destined to reach the heavens and become famous in one fell swoop, which would be of great benefit to his future career.

"Brothers, please be quiet, please be quiet." In the face of the lively discussion of the jinshi in the square, Li Wensi had already been prepared, so he shouted loudly.

When calm returned to the square, Li Wensi said slowly, "Brothers, brothers, since we have already determined the key points, then we will ask everyone to express their opinions, but after all, there are a large number of people, so if any brother has a good strategy, please come to the stage to say, of course, if any brother does not agree with his point of view, he can also come to the stage to refute, after all, is it not clear?" In the end, only those that can be unanimously agreed by everyone can form a statement and submit it to the cabinet. ”

After listening to Li Wensi's words, Shi Lei's eyes couldn't help flashing a different color, originally he still had some prejudices against Li Wensi. Of course, no matter when, when the poor **si faced the rich and handsome, his heart was not very balanced, but when he saw that Li Wensi could actually think of using this kind of debate to conduct a literary meeting, he had to admire him in his heart.

"Since everyone is reluctant to come up, then I, Zhejiang Guan Derong, will throw bricks and lead the way, if there is anything thoughtless, please mention it more to your younger brothers."

Just when Shi Lei sighed in his heart, a person wearing a cyan Confucian suit slowly walked to the high platform, but when Shi Lei saw him, he felt a burst of laughter in his heart, and saw the self-proclaimed Guan Derong on the stage, except for the clothes being Confucian, there was no scholar on his body at all.

With his thick and stiff hair, coupled with his fierce beard, and his skin as black as a Kunlun slave, he is a peerless general wherever he looks, and he can't be connected with a scholar.

Sure enough, although this Guan Derong is a scholar, his temper is the same as his appearance, straightforward, after he stepped on stage, he said, "Brothers, brothers, I feel that if you want to exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, then there is only one way, drop the soldiers of the nine sides and come back, with the momentum of Mount Tai, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, kill the thieves and others who are the leaders of the rebellion, and the banditry will be quickly quelled." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately got the approval of most of the people present, after all, the people here are all admitted to the Jinshi, but most of the people don't want to look at the world and check the world, it is estimated that in addition to the four books and five classics, even farm work may not have been done, as far as these people can you make him come up with any useful methods, in addition to hearsay, the rest of the estimates are whimsical.

Only a small number of people kept shaking their heads, Shi Lei sighed in his heart, these people are more naΓ―ve than the college students in later generations, you know, not to mention that the soldiers on the nine sides are not so easy to deploy, after all, they are facing a strong force of the Manchus outside the Guanwai who is more powerful than the peasant army.

Let's just say that it doesn't have much effect at all if the elite soldiers of the nine sides are really transferred back, because the current peasant army is not the same as before, although it is claimed to be hundreds of thousands, but it is some old and weak women and children who drag their families with their families, and now, under the condition that Li Zicheng's family is dominant, they have become a cohesive group, with a solid territory, and relatively mature government agencies.

If you want to be like the peasant army just starting out, using the elite soldiers to kill Li Zicheng and others with Huanglong is tantamount to a pipe dream.

Sure enough, when the people below had not stopped, they saw another Jinshi walk up to the high platform and said, "In the next Li Anshi, dare to ask Brother Guan, what you just said, transfer the soldiers of the nine sides to suppress the bandits, then, in this way, if the border pass will be done, if there is no army of the nine sides, then the Manchu Tartar captivity will not be able to enter the customs with all their might, at that time, not to mention the destruction of the peasant army, if the Tartars are captured into the customs, it will be more harmful than the traitors!" ”

As soon as Li Anshi's interrogation came out, he saw that many Jinshi who had cheered for Guan Derong just now had their mouths shut, for fear of saying something that would embarrass them.

Seeing Guan Derong walk off the stage with a gloomy expression, Li Wensi, who was standing on the side, saluted Li Anshi before he spoke, "What Brother An Shi said is reasonable, but I don't know what Brother An Shi has a better plan." ”

After saluting Li Wensi back, Li Anshi said loudly to everyone, "Brothers, brothers, although I am a powerless scholar, but in the face of the scene of bandits and displacement, I am also indignant in my heart, so I have been thinking about countermeasures for a long time, fortunately, after years of in-depth study of history and scriptures, I have visited most of the great sages, and finally got a few countermeasures." ”

After listening to Li Anshi's words, after Guan Derong's incident, many Jinshi who no longer dared to applaud casually also leaked curious looks, and even Shi Lei, Zhu Weiyuan and others also became curious.

No one will think that Li Anshi is talking big and improving his reputation, because no one will lie on this issue at such a time, and there may be some quick elements, but if people know later that someone is lying in this situation, then this kind of person will become a street rat, and no one will believe his words at all.

"I think that if you want to suppress bandits, you should first abolish the three major rings, everyone should know that the three major rings that are now levied are in the past when they were peaceful and there are many people's homes that can't afford to pay, not to mention that now natural disasters, military disasters continue year after year, and the people's lives are difficult, if the three major rings continue, it can only make more people lose everything and become displaced people." As soon as Li Anshi's first suggestion was finished, although it was not as good as Guan Derong's applause just now, there were still many Jinshi who nodded and praised.

You must know that those who can become Jinshi are the children of famous families in the local area, and they have a deep understanding of the various taxes levied by the imperial court over the years, not to mention those destitute peasant families, and even many landlords' families have been reduced to the point where they have to sell their ancestral property to live.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Li Anshi said the second one, "Secondly, I feel that the court must take a two-pronged approach, after all, except for a few people who are the leaders, the rest of the rebels are not all really willing to rebel, according to the understanding, there are many traitors who are also forced to be helpless, so they surrender to the thieves."

Therefore, in his opinion, the imperial court can send a large army to suppress the rebel army on the one hand, and at the same time send people who can speak well to those in the rebel army who are still loyal to the imperial court. ”

As soon as Li Anshi's words were finished, Shi Lei didn't feel anything, but Zhu Weiyuan sighed and said, "Hey, it's really a scholar's foolish opinion, how many times did the imperial court recruit thieves and thieves back then, but every time these thieves were defeated, they bowed down and surrendered, and they had a certain strength, but they immediately rebelled again, for this reason, how many members of the imperial court died and had no place to be buried." ”

"I can't say that, I think he said a certain amount of truth, it's just that the timing of the speech is not right, if it was five or three years ago, the imperial court sent a general, according to this line of thinking, maybe it can really succeed, but unfortunately, it's too late, not to mention that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others are already full-fledged, even most of the people and gentry are disappointed in the court, and now there is no capable minister in the court who can take charge of himself, if you really want to implement this plan, It was even worse for the imperial court. After listening to Zhu Weiyuan's words, Shi Lei spoke.

At the same time, Shi Lei said while still sighing in his heart, no matter which dynasty or generation, there are still a lot of people who are really knowledgeable, just like this Li Anshi, although the views he put forward are a little backward, but it can be seen that he is a real capable person, not like other officials, except for the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and poetry, he does not understand the people's livelihood at all.

It's just a pity that these people of insight can rarely be used by those in power, which has to be said to be the greatest sorrow for thousands of years.
