Chapter 81: The First Debate Tournament of the Tang Dynasty

Li Jingsui coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone present to himself: "Just now, the Holy Lord has applied for the importance of change, and now, the first agenda item is voted, does Nantang want to carry out reform?" Those who support national change, please raise your right hand. ”

brush, and all of them immediately raised their right hands. Obviously, this change is already something that the Holy Lord and the King of Qi have decided to do, just now Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui are two negative examples, the emperor's daily closest people are deflated, who would dare to touch the head at this time? However, everyone is clearly not used to this method of voting, some raise their hands above their heads, some just put them on the table, some raise their palms, and some raise their fists.

This method is really new, and you don't need everyone to express their position one by one, just raise their hands. Everyone thinks that everything is so new today.

Li Jingsui applauded: "Okay, it's rare for everyone to support the reform so together, and I can expect the Tang Dynasty to be strong." Now, on the second agenda, how to strengthen the country, strengthen the army, and enrich the people through reform? First of all, I would like to ask Lin Yilang to explain the rules of procedure of the debate competition. ”

Lin Feng got up again and explained the adapted version of Robert's rules of procedure, which mainly included the principles of equality for everyone, the consent of more than two-thirds of the people before they could be decided, and the prohibition of attacking others. Since Lin Feng started speaking, except for Li Jingsui, it was the first time for everyone else to hear such a rule, and their eyes widened one by one? Could it be that all these things today were thought up by this Lin Feng alone?

The most shocking thing was Song Qiqiu and his family, Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui's eyes were about to pop out, so many national affairs were decided like this, wouldn't it make no sense for them to climb to a high position like this? Cha Wenhui regretted it even more, he had already found out about this, and he would kill Lin Feng last night no matter how much it cost!

For the first time, Song Qiqiu felt that this was a difficult person to deal with. This Lin Feng is poisonous, a seemingly simple and fair rule, which completely puts his biggest reliance - power in a cage. Song Qiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to stare closely at Lin Feng's every move.

Targeted by a wolf! Lin Feng suddenly felt that there were a few more eyes on his body that he couldn't wait to eat him, his heart was like a mirror, this must be the backbone of the Song Party! He ignored the matter, turned around and took a simple iron shelf and three flat-bottomed crystal cups from the corner table with his right hand and placed them in front of him, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Jingsui felt happy at this time. In normal times, how can you see such curious, focused, and playful expressions of these important court ministers, and such obedient and obedient scenes? Li Jingsui was suddenly a little grateful to Lin Feng for coming up with such a concise and effective innovative measure, and he immediately explained with a smile on his face:

"This is the hourglass that Lin Yilang found, and all the sand in the crystal cup on it has leaked, almost a quarter of an hour. This is used to keep time, and each person should not explain his or her point of view more than once in hourglass time. Therefore, please be sure to think about your opinions and words in advance.

In addition, I would like to reiterate that during the debate, no one is allowed to make personal attacks on others, and no one is allowed to talk about anything unrelated to the topic, and if there is an act that disturbs the order of the debate competition, a personal record will be recorded, and every three records will be immediately expelled from the debate and no one will be allowed to participate in the debate again. ”

Liao Jusu has fallen into a state of obsession and madness since he received the holy decree, a Jiupin official who no one knows and no one asks suddenly receives the holy decree of the country to discuss the country, he feels like he is in a dream, but sitting in his seat, he finds that this dream seems to have just begun. On the left is Shangshu and the right servant shoots Sun Sheng, on the right is Sikong Li Jianxun, and in the distance, there is Situ Zhouzong, not far away, King Qi and Shengshang are so close, and what is even more amazing is that everything on the scene is completely different from the rules of etiquette and etiquette that he read from the book.

Liao Jusu grabbed the table in front of him tightly with one hand and the chair handle with the other, trying his best to control himself from being rude on the spot.

The thing composed of those crystal cups was originally called an hourglass, which was used to keep time, it was like watching time pass, how did Lin Feng come up with it? There are also those powerful countries that cause change, and by the way, those rules. Perhaps, it was the rules he came up with that gave him the opportunity to sit in this hall with all the important ministers of the country?

Thinking of this, Liao Jusu began to look at Lin Feng with inquiring and even adoring eyes, the young man who looked more than ten years younger than himself.

At this time, Li Jingsui began to read out aloud the three sparse words of the powerful country, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Feng began to have time to let the Imperial Doctor, who was already waiting on the side, redress his wounds. He gently uncovered the white cloth, which had basically been stained with blood, and found that the blood had long since ceased to flow, but the white cloth had already adhered tightly to the wound. Looking at the embarrassed eyes of the imperial doctor, Lin Feng smiled lightly, his right hand was hard pressed, and the white cloth left his arm with a layer of flesh.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, stretched out his left arm to the imperial doctor, and looked up at Li Jingsui.

“…… If a country is alone, it is complacent, proud and complacent, like an old woman who only knows that there is a stream, but does not know that there is a sea in the world, like a mountain that only knows that there are mountains in the road, but does not know that there are plains in the world...... The rise of the country's situation, such as the township, county, and provincial schools of life, does not rise to a higher level, I don't know how deep he learns, and how wide he learns...... If the country wants to be strong, it must enrich the people and strengthen the army. The people are the foundation of a country, the source of soldiers, the source of taxes, and the source of all things in the country. The soldier is the protector of a country, the lifeblood of a country, and he has not heard of a lifeline that is not smooth and a country is smooth......"

These arguments, in fact, Lin Feng has been pondered many times, and he has long been familiar with them. In his view, the interests of various people in a country are different, and the actual situation in various parts of the country is very different, and it is a joke to introduce too many one-size-fits-all policies at once. If Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty had been more patient, not to launch the policy all at once, but to try, improve, and implement it one by one, he might have really succeeded. Therefore, when the three sparse countries of the country he wrote are really sorted out, there are only four reform measures.

Combined taxation: imitating Zhang Juzheng's whip law, merging the taxation and service of a county separately, that is, first merging the endowment and taxation separately, and then passing the taxation of a state and a province to pay tribute; A certain amount of money is made for each grain and one stone; a certain amount of money per ding; At the end of the year, the service money and the money were collected together. However, Lin Feng deliberately changed one point, the state set a benchmark grain price every year, and farmers could pay their crops according to the price, instead of requiring everyone to pay silver as in the Ming Dynasty, so that farmers were more subjected to two layers of exploitation in the process of selling grain for silver. The ultimate goal of the reform is to reduce the tax burden on the peasants and even to the point of not collecting taxes.

Officials: imitating Zhang Juzheng's examination law, "limiting the examination", "taking responsibility for the matter", the higher-level department will set the time limit for the things that the officials should do, and register them in the three account books, and the responsible department shall check the progress of the account book registration month by month, and the officials must truthfully report the progress of the undertaking matter, otherwise they will be punished for violating the crime, and the supervision department shall inspect according to an account book, and the state will verify the inspection work of the supervision department according to the last account book. In the rule of a country, without the rule of honest and efficient officials, all reforms are in the air.

Elite soldiers: Take the route of elite soldiers, set a certain degree of test difficulty, reduce the national army, and include the selected soldiers in the reserve and local troops. Lin Feng particularly emphasized that the way to go for the selected soldiers must be arranged, and the tragedy of "laying off one person and ruining a dynasty" in the Ming Dynasty must be avoided. Ming Chongzhen cut off the post station indiscriminately, leaving Li Zicheng, who was originally a post pawn, without a life, and led the crowd to defeat his country in a fit of anger.

Benefiting business: the national unified commercial tax, no checkpoints in China, encourage and guide the vigorous development of commerce. Only when commerce is thoroughly developed can it be possible to truly enrich the country, feed back agriculture, liberate agriculture, and truly lay the road to a rich country and a strong country.

At this time, Li Jingsui was reciting the content of enriching the people: "The people and the country, like water and boats, such as blood and the human body, when the water rises, the boat is high, and when the water falls, the boat runs aground......

If people have no permanent property, they will have no perseverance, and if they want to make the people have perseverance, they must make them have permanent production; If you want it to have a permanent production, you must enrich its pockets; If you want to get rich, you must first loosen its ties......"

Li Jingsui's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall, and also echoed in the hearts of every minister.
