Song Liao teamed up?

Such a topic was a little far away, and Yang and Fan quickly stopped.

Fan Chunren was very concerned about Yang Yi's mention that the Liao State had fallen into the country, and repeatedly asked about the details.

Yang Yi did not hide this, and told everything he saw and heard in Liao.

"Fan Xianggong, since Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne, Liao's internal affairs are not repaired, and traitorous ministers are in charge, first the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan raised troops to rebel, and then Yelu Yixin falsely accused Yide Empress Xiao Guanyin of fornication with Zhao Weiyi, which caused the Shixiang word case, forced to kill Liao Hou Xiao Guanyin, two years later, even Liao Prince Yelu Jun could not be spared, and finally although Yelu Yixin was ambushed, but every one of these things, the punishment was very wide, so that the vitality of the Liao State was greatly damaged, and the sage was gone;

Now, as Yelu Hongji gradually gets old, more mediocre, the appointed civil and military ministers are mostly busy people, internal power struggles, and incessant fighting, although there are royal brothers Yelu and Lu Wei are more virtuous, but after experiencing Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, the Liao lord does not trust Yelu and Lu Hu very much, and only gives a position left in Beijing, which is not enough to support the overall decline of the Liao State.

The younger generation made Liao, and made an understanding of all aspects of Liao, and the various provinces of Liao have been plagued by famine for many years, resulting in high prices, and the people are not able to make a living, as the main grain-producing area of Nanjing Youzhou, doumi is actually more expensive than my Song Dynasty and Tokyo 30 Wen, and the displaced people are surging between the markets, selling children and daughters;

It can be seen from the battle between the younger generation and Xiao Dalin that today's Liao ** is not repaired, the combat power is low, and it has long ceased to be as brave as it used to be, and the northwest road recruited Yelu Tart Bu also led tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion, but was defeated by two or three thousand men and horses of the Blocking Division, Yelu Tart was also killed in the chaos of the army, and the western and northern herdsmen, and the various military divisions stationed in Mobei fell one after another;

The current Mobei grassland, with the beacon smoke to describe the four is more appropriate, the Bubu, Paiya, Fuli, Tongge, Tiger Bone, Puguo and other departments have raised troops against Liao, although these tribes are still very weak, but in view of the low combat power of the Liao army, once it can not be extinguished in time, it will soon be a spark of fire;

In this case, the upper echelons of the Khitan are still living a corrupt life of drunken dreams and death, and no one wants to change the law and improve themselves, and their eyes are still blindly staring at my Great Song, just hoping to get more benefits from my Great Song;

The defeat of the Liao State, coupled with the instability of the internal situation, was forced to bow to our Great Song Dynasty, which fully revealed the weakness of the Liao State, and the consequences will be unpredictable, the Liao State has many tribes, and the defeat of Nanjing Road seems to have nothing to do with the overall situation, but it will definitely make the various tribes of the Liao State more detached from morality, and the momentum of the rebellion will inevitably intensify;

Due to the above reasons, the younger generation believes that the Liao State has become a dead country;

Fan Xianggong, in fact, there is not much time left for the Great Song Dynasty, once the Liao Kingdom falls, my Great Song Dynasty will face a more prosperous strong neighbor, people have no foresight, there will be near-term worries, if the Great Song Dynasty is blindly conservative and complacent, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Yang Yi's tirade on the Khitan military and political affairs really shocked Fan Chunren.

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty actually lacked a very little understanding of the Liao State, whether it was the military, government and people's livelihood, they were all limited to a confused cognition, and the rebellion of various tribes in Mobei was even more unheard of.

Why did the Liao Kingdom easily bow to the Great Song Dynasty this time? This doubt in Fan Renchun's heart was finally solved.

But he was still a little dismissive of Yang Yi's final judgment, even if the Liao Kingdom really died, why would the Great Song Dynasty suffer?

Yang Yi also knew that it was impossible to convince Fan Chunren by turning the words like this, so he didn't bother to speak, after Fan Chunren digested the news about Liao, he said earnestly: "Let it be!" My Great Song Dynasty does have many maladministrations that need to be solved, but governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and rushing for success often leads to bad things, just like a person who has been sick for a long time, and suddenly applying a violent illness will only worsen the disease;

The old man thinks that now the external should be more precious, and the internal affairs should be more slowly, and the strategy of encroachment in the northwest and the new tax law of internal affairs are inevitably too hasty!

Do you know that now because of the measurement of land, the gentry everywhere are complaining, officials at all levels are detached from morality, and bloody conflicts are continuous! Once it is used by people with bad intentions, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will also be full of civil strife, and the smoke will be everywhere! ”

Since Yang Yi regarded this meeting as the beginning of communication between the old and new parties, he said patiently: "Fan Xianggong, for the Liao State, we should indeed value peace at present, but not for the Western Xia, the Western Xia is purely a rogue country, if you compromise with it, it will be more arrogant and continue to attack;

During the ninth year of Yuan You, the iron-clad facts proved the rogue nature of the Western Xia, therefore, the Western Xia must not adopt a policy of appeasement, and must be beaten until he is weak, and it is best to destroy his country, otherwise my Great Song Dynasty will not want to be peaceful.

As for internal affairs, the phrase "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, should be slowly mapped" is indeed very reasonable, but the younger generation believes that it is used in innovation, but it is somewhat inappropriate, throughout the history of thousands of years, if you want to be strong, there has never been a success in using the method of slowly plotting;

Shang Ying's change of law, Zhao Wuling's Hufu riding and shooting, all under strong pressure, push in one fell swoop, perseverance can succeed, if you encounter resistance, you want to deal with it with a compromise method, the so-called Xu Xu Tuzhi, just waiting for the slow death! ”

As far as Yang Yi knows, in addition to the two changes he mentioned, it is more typical that the officials and gentry implemented by the Qing Yongzheng in later generations accept food, these successful changes, which time is not after the conclusion, can only achieve the goal by force, in the case of extremely strong opposition forces, Xu Xu Tuzhi will only wait to be strangled by the other party;

Severe cases cannot be treated with drastic medicine, and this principle may not be correct when applied to innovation.

After listening to Yang Yi's words, Fan Chunren pondered for a while before he continued: "However, the current priority of my Great Song Dynasty should be to eliminate the rule of officials and eliminate party disputes.

Ren Zhifu also proposed to increase the number of posts to appease the officials, the salaries of our Song Dynasty officials were not low, all kinds of redundant expenses, the national officials were more than 10 million, and all at once increased so many posts, although this move did not need to be directly from the treasury, but it was to transfer the burden to the people, therefore, the old man thought that it was also not enough;

Let it be! It's easy to increase and it's hard to cut! Once this has become the norm, it will be impossible to reduce it in the future. ”

Yang Yi had to admire Fan Chunren, he looked at the problem very accurately, he said that the increase in official posts was the imperial court's transfer of the burden to the people, which Yang Yi also had to admit.

The imperial court did not have a surplus of land allocated to officials as vocational fields, so where did the additional vocational fields come from?

It can only be obtained through official annexation, which will inevitably force more people to lose their land, and Fan Chunren is not unreasonable.

Yang Yi also thought about this question, to which he replied: "Fan Xianggong, first of all, use the post field to increase the income of officials, which will not directly increase the burden of the imperial court, and then the number of post fields is clearly limited, and the possibility of officials making illegal profits from it is relatively small;

In order to cope with the impact of the imperial court's increase in vocational land on the people, the younger generation also suggested that the imperial court should increase the three-year tax exemption period for newly reclaimed land to five years, and the implementation of the errand service law will also greatly increase the people's enthusiasm for reclamation; In addition, the implementation of the new tax law will certainly curb the scale of land annexation by private wealthy households;

The simultaneous implementation of these measures is believed to have an impact on ordinary people by increasing the number of official jobs, and in general the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

As for Fan Xianggong's mention that the new tax law has caused strong resistance from the gentry and local instability, the lower officials believe that the implementation of each new tax law will inevitably hurt the interests of some people;

However, if there is no reform, the imperial court will not be able to continue, and at the same time, the landless people will not only have nothing to live on, but also have to bear heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which will also force them to take risks and rise up;

As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, even if the gentry pay taxes, they will not hurt the fundamentals, and in this case, there will not be many people who are really willing to take risks; But the poor people are different, they have no land, no food and clothing, and all the taxes of the court are still on them, in order to survive, they have no other way but to rebel.

Therefore, Xia Guan believes that the new tax law did displease the gentry and caused some local turmoil, but compared with the original, the risk of the imperial court bearing local rebellion was much smaller.

A very important part of the new tax law is to unify taxes and abolish the original many miscellaneous taxes, which will also play a very positive role in solving the problem of redundancy and redundancy that has been plaguing the imperial court;

Once the tax is unified, it not only greatly reduces the burden on the people, but also reduces the burden on the government; It turns out that there are many miscellaneous taxes, and a county needs hundreds, or even hundreds of servants, to complete the tax payment work, and the commissions of these servants and helpers are also paid from various miscellaneous taxes and money, which makes the people bear more exploitation;

The unified taxation will greatly reduce the number of manpower, and even only one of the original human manpower will be needed to complete the task, so that the government will be able to dismiss many servants and helpers.

Therefore, Fan Xianggong said that the new tax law is not beneficial to the rule of officials, and the younger generation really does not dare to agree, Fan Xianggong, since ancient times, it is easy to govern officials, and if you can successfully remove most of the officials to help idle, then it will be ten times easier for the court to clarify the rule of officials. ”

"What Ren said, although it is not unreasonable, but it is suspected of putting the cart before the horse!"

Yang Yi said so much, Fan Chunren suddenly came to such a sentence, which made him stunned for a moment, indeed, Fan Chunren can be called a righteous gentleman, and he naturally tends to act step by step, which is completely a matter of personality orientation and acting concept.

The main problem faced by the Great Song Dynasty is indeed the problem of rectification, and whether it is Wang Anshi's new law or Yang Yi's new tax law, neither of them has put forward a clear program in terms of purging the rule of officials, and they are all suspected of going off the rails, and it is no wonder that they are regarded as crooked and heretical by gentlemen like Fan Chunren, and they cannot get their active support.

Yang Yi smiled bitterly: "Fan Xianggong, there is a good saying, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if you can catch a mouse, you are a good cat; Perhaps in Fan Xianggong's view, the current new law is indeed a bit of putting the cart before the horse, but as long as it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, why bother with the order of priority? ”

Fan Chunren immediately counterattacked: "Ren Zhi's words are wrong! As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the word is not good, and everything is not done in the right way, even if some results are achieved temporarily, it will be affected everywhere and it will be difficult to last. ”

Why am I not on the right path?

Yang Yi was extremely depressed when he heard it, even if it wasn't the right way, but at least it wasn't a crooked way, right?

Fight with soldiers, and pay attention to a regular soldier and a strange soldier! Yes, this is a 'miracle' at best!

Fan and Yang debated for two more hours, and did not stop until the third watch.

In the end, no one was able to convince anyone, but the atmosphere of the debate was very good, and although the two sides had different opinions, they did not turn their faces into enemies, but both got a lot of new inspiration from the other side.

In this regard, Yang Yi is already very satisfied, Fan Chunren has a very high reputation in the old party, and he can open a communication channel with him, which is beneficial but not harmful to the Great Song Dynasty.

In the end, Fan Chunren said: "What Ren Zhi said today, there are indeed many unique points, the old man will carefully consider it, and the old man also hopes that Ren Zhi can take what the old man said seriously, the Great Song Dynasty can't stand the toss!" ”

"I have the honor to have a meeting with Fan Xianggong today, and I have heard many insights from Fan Xianggong, and the younger generations are very happy, and I hope that there will be more opportunities to listen to Fan Xianggong's teachings in the future.
