Fang Xuanling came to Li Shimin with the signatures of more than 1,000 scholars and a small number of businessmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty, here is a joint request from a thousand people to advise the emperor together, and then ask the emperor not to be so partial to businessmen. And some businessmen asked the emperor not to be so partial to the businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry. The people of the world are all the emperor's people, how can the emperor be so partial to a small number of people, so he asks the emperor not to issue this decree that gives preferential treatment to businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry. Fang Xuanling held a letter signed by 1,000 people and said.

Li Shimin saw this letter, of course he knew what was going on, this letter was signed by Fang Xuanling mobilized the entire Chang'an scholar clan. There are also many signatures on it, so that each of their names also represents the children of the scholar clan. Just look at the signatures and you'll know what's going on. Because the literacy rate in the Tang Dynasty was very low, the signatures were actually literate people. As for ordinary people, most of them don't know how to sign at all, and they can even write their own names, how can they write to the emperor. This one is clearly Fang Xuanling deliberately came up with some opinions from the scholars.

Shi Bufan saw this book and took the initiative to ask: "Fang Servant, is your book all signed by the children of the scholar clan?" ”

Fang Xuanling replied of course: "Yes, the scholar clan is the cornerstone of the country, and of course it can represent all the people!" ”

For a scholar clan like Fang Xuanling, in their eyes, only the scholar clan is the people. This kind of thinking inertia, which has been around for hundreds of years, is not so easy to remove. When a part of the people has privileges, these guys will naturally reject those who are not privileged and look down on those who are not privileged. The people in Fang Xuanling's eyes no longer include those low-level people, and the people in their eyes are only those scholars who are considered "people", and ordinary people are not qualified to express their opinions in their eyes. The so-called "public opinion" is also the meaning of the scholars, and the meaning of the scholars is also the will of the people. This is also the thinking of Fang Xuanling and other scholars, who think that they are qualified to represent all the people.

In fact, this is also a kind of bandit logic, imposing one's own thinking on ordinary people and imposing it on the people of the world. But for this bandit logic, in ancient times, it was the thinking of those privileged groups. Shi Bufan can only use the survival of the fittest to deal with this situation, so he naturally has a way to deal with it.

"Hmph, you use bandit logic to be strong. Treacherous public opinion, then don't blame me for using the same method to clean you up! Shi Bufan thought.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it can be seen that the people of the world are all against the emperor's intention to favor and support those businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry, and ask the emperor to treat the people of the world equally, and not to be so partial to businessmen!" ”

Fang Xuanling said it as a righteous word, as if he said it was righteous. However, Li Shimin and Shi Bufan both knew that this Fang Xuanling was just representing the interests of the landlord class, and they wanted to annex the land. It is necessary to make the people have a bad life, if the people are really free of disease and disaster, or there is no disaster at all, then how can they, the nobles, annex the land? Only the common people, for various reasons, are in dire need of money, so they have to give up their land in exchange for survival. Don't think too much of Fang Xuanling's guys, these guys are all politicians and represent their own class interests.

Therefore, he did not want the medicine merchants to receive special support, so that the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the people was completely alleviated, so that the people did not need to sell land, and it would cut off the channels for the scholars to annex the land. Fang Xuanling must oppose it, otherwise how can he, the spokesperson of the Shi clan, be mixed!

However, it is not a vegetarian if it is not extraordinary, since Fang Xuanling will be strong here. treacherously attacked public opinion, raised his ideas to the level of public opinion, and was not afraid of anything extraordinary at that time. Since everyone is going to be strong. treacherous public opinion, it depends on whose means are better.

"Your Majesty, on the contrary, I think that the people of the world are businessmen who support the emperor's support for the pharmaceutical industry, support investment in the pharmaceutical industry, and solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the people! Your Majesty, I also have a book of all the people here, on which tens of thousands of people draw a pledge, support the emperor to give preferential treatment to businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry, support businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry, and solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the people! Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan suddenly shouted at the people outside, and someone outside immediately sent a large piece of cloth up, which was densely covered with red stamps, all fingerprints. As for the fingerprints, it is written that it supports the emperor to give preferential treatment to businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry, supports the emperor to support the pharmaceutical industry, and solves the difficulty of the people in seeing a doctor.

Fang Xuanling saw this so-called "Book of All People" and immediately opened his eyes. Fang Xuanling didn't expect Shi Bufan to be so shameless, and directly took out this so-called book of all people. Fang Xuanling is sure that this is definitely not the real "public opinion", but that Shi Bufan is also in the "strong. treacherous public opinion". Because where do ordinary people understand these sets of policies, and where do ordinary people understand sets of complex policies! With the cultural level of the Tang people, they were completely unable to understand the impact behind these policies. This is also the reason why many scholars and landlords can fool the people, because many people in ancient times could not judge the good or bad policies.

Sometimes the good policies of the imperial court will become policies that harm the people at the grassroots level, which is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very possible. Sometimes some people with ulterior motives will deliberately incite the people to achieve their own private interests, and this kind of thing is not uncommon after more than a thousand years, is it suitable for this era? In the name of seeking fairness and justice for the benefit of the people, there are simply too many such things. In this case, at that time, the only way to counter was to use the same means. Now that you're here, don't pay attention to any means.

Fang Xuanling took a serious look and found that there were actually some Buddha patterns on this so-called cloth, and Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered a story a few days ago.

"A few days ago, I heard that a number of temples in Chang'an united to collect people's sentiment to pray for blessings, only the people need to press their finger prints, and then they can be contaminated with the blessings of the Buddha. Damn, why didn't I think about it this way? This is most likely because Shi Bufan let his group of monks mess around, most of them are deliberately trying to make some blessings, and then collected these fingerprints, and then deliberately wrote this so-called Book of the People. This Shi Bufan is so shameless and deceives the people so much! Fang Xuanling was also furious in his heart.

Fang Xuanling still doesn't understand? This is most likely Shi Bufan borrowed the names of those monks at that time, and then asked the people to draw on a huge white cloth, and then later supplemented this so-called Book of the People, so that a Book of the People was concocted. In this way, tens of thousands of people were drawn, and then a book of all the people came out.

"Your Majesty, this is the Book of the People, and it is the Book of the People that supports the Emperor to support pharmaceutical merchants and medicine. They asked to support businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry, let them take the initiative to engage in the pharmaceutical industry, and reduce the burden on the people! Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan believes that although many people in later generations scolded many profiteers for being difficult to see and expensive to see a doctor, this also has to be divided into generations. In later generations, it was difficult to see a doctor and expensive, but in ancient times, it was impossible to even see a doctor. Turning the inability to see a doctor into a high cost of seeing a doctor is also a kind of progress. It is expensive to see a doctor, but it is better than not having the opportunity to see a doctor. With the development of medical insurance in the future, the price of many medicinal materials will also rise, and the deep processing of medicinal materials and the development of various medical medicinal materials industry must be supported. Now the people can afford to get sick, but if the medicinal herbs can't keep up, it will be empty in the end. Timely support, timely let businessmen invest in the pharmaceutical industry, and even take the initiative to develop those medicinal materials planting technology, which will help solve the problem of medicinal materials.

Even the deep processing of medicinal materials can make more effective use of medicinal materials, but this is not in the interests of the scholar class headed by Fang Xuanling. If the people can afford to be sick, then how can their nobles carry out land annexation? This is what they need to oppose the most, and they do not hesitate to force it. Traitorous public opinion, saying that his own meaning is the will of the people, but the people do not know about it at all.

It is also difficult for Shi Bufan to slowly explain to the people, although he himself is to alleviate the problem of medical treatment for the people, although the medicinal materials may still be valuable, but it is better than no medicinal materials. Even if a resource is expensive, it is better than not having it at all. In a short period of time, it is impossible to solve the value of medicinal materials, but it can only ensure that the people can afford to see a doctor, and they do not have to go bankrupt or even incur debts for several lifetimes in order to see a doctor.

As for the scholars, they don't think so, they want the people to see a doctor at a high price, so it is inevitable to sell the land, or they still owe debts for several generations and cannot be replaced, and eventually they will lose their land. The interests of the two are irreconcilable, and the foundation of the scholars is an economic model based on land and tenants, so it is absolutely not in their interests to solve the problem of medical treatment for the common people.

But Fang Xuanling didn't expect that Shi Bufan would be so thick-skinned, but he was also "strong. treacherous public opinion", saying that his own thoughts are the thoughts of the people.

"Shi Bufan, you are talking nonsense, the people don't even know the words, how can they write the Book of the People? Can you find 10,000 people who can write in Chang'an City? Will they be able to understand the content of this support for businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry? Fang Xuanling scolded.

Shi Bufan also asked rhetorically: "Fang Servant, since you said that the people can't understand this content, how do they oppose the businessmen who support the pharmaceutical industry?" Or, in your eyes, people who are illiterate are not considered 'people'? ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, what did he just say? When he accused him, he said that the people couldn't read these words, but how did he concoct the book of the people signed by thousands of people? Since the vast majority of people are illiterate, it's worth pondering how you concocted this.

"Hmph, that's interesting! These two shameless villains, who is more shameless in this competition? Li Shimin was speechless.

The situation on the scene has also been revealed, and his real-time extraordinaire and Fang Xuanling are all out of the way. The Book of the People concocted by Fang Xuanling was signed by those literate scholars, and those scholars were opposed to supporting the medical industry and reducing the burden on the people. They were eager to increase the burden on the people and then take the opportunity to annex the land. As for increasing the burden on the people, and finally the people rebelled? This is none of their business, anyway, in their eyes, even if the people rebel, it will be just a troubled time. And even if the troubled times are over, the new emperor will rely on them to maintain his rule.

That's why the scholars don't care if the people are exploited too much, and then rebel and change the dynasty! These scholars can even openly say that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty but there is a thousand-year-old family, one can imagine how confident they are in the economic model of this family, and how confident they can maintain it. Of course, this is also the thinking of the people of the Tang Dynasty, who have not seen the ruling methods that do not rely on the big families, and have not seen the process of the increasing concentration of imperial power to the final revolution. Therefore, Fang Xuanling is just an ancient person, he can't predict the future historical trend, so he naturally subconsciously thinks so.

Therefore, the scholars represented by Fang Xuanling don't care whether the people have been exploited or even rebelled, what they care about is to safeguard the interests of the class and the family, what are the other people? Do you really think that Fang Xuanling's generation is also Aimin? has the ability to have political achievements, this is not the same as loving the people!

But Shi Bufan simply came directly to a more ruthless and shameless one, directly under the banner of collecting popularity, and asked the people to press their fingerprints on a piece of white cloth, so that when the time comes, a so-called book of the people will be added later, and such a book of the people will be concocted like this.

Shi Bufan and Fang Xuanling both understood in their hearts that their book of the people was not really "public opinion", because for them, "public opinion" was an excuse to use, and it was just an excuse to achieve their political goals. What they do is in the "strong. treacherous public opinion", forcibly saying that his own ideas are the will of the people, so that he can directly use them to attack the other party and achieve his own political goals. As for this real public opinion, with the cultural level of the people of the Tang Dynasty, where did they understand the profound meaning behind these policies, and where did they understand the real meaning behind these policies? In this era, the productive forces are underdeveloped, and the common people do not really have enough opportunities to learn culture, let alone understand any policies.

Therefore, public opinion is just a political excuse used by ancient politicians to attack each other. treacherous public opinion". (To be continued.) )
