Chapter Eighty-Nine: The First Debate Tournament of the Tang Dynasty (19)

Some people revel, others have no intention of sleeping.

Song Qiqiu returned home, in addition to instructing his subordinates to send a note to the household Shangshu Tao Qian, he locked himself in the study and ordered no one to disturb him.

In the incense, Song Qiqiu sat in the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, in front of him was a pair of elephant opera endgame under the city, his right hand repeatedly flipped and played with an ivory pawn, and he did not put it down for a long time.

It is reported that Chinese chess originated in the clan regions of southern China around the time of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC). In the Tang Dynasty, Xiangqi was called Xiangxi, and there were already 4 types of troops: "generals, horses, rooks, and pawns", and the chessboard was composed of 64 squares in black and white. After that, with reference to the game of Go in China, the 64 squares were changed to 90 points. In the Song Dynasty, due to the invention of gunpowder, "cannon" was added, and "shi" and "xiang" were also added, and Chinese chess was basically finalized. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the chessboard officially became exactly the same as modern chess.

Today's Lin Feng gave Song Qiqiu too many surprises. He found that his side's tactics of attacking in groups, which had been invincible in the past, were even useless, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui were ruthlessly extinguished as soon as they lit the flames. This Lin Feng laid out in advance, and there was always a way to hit the weakness of his side, so that his side was completely panicked and unable to deal with it. At the end of the day, he almost became a bystander in the process of such a major change, and even inadvertently almost became a villain, which is really a fiasco.

For a long time, the soft and crisp sound of a maid ring changing incense woke up Song Qiqiu, who seemed to be asleep. His eyes snapped open, and he slapped the chess pieces in his hand heavily into the opponent's area.

Early in the morning, Lin Feng took the latest steel knife that Li Chun had gotten from Sun Cuo's shop last night, waved goodbye to Chen Fei and them, who were going to exercise, and set off with Wei San to the palace again.

Lin Feng deposited the steel knife at the gate of the palace, went straight to the Dezheng Palace, saw Li Jingsui who had just arrived, and whispered in his ear for a moment, Li Jingsui pondered for a while, nodded and agreed.

As the day before, because His Majesty and the important ministers' minds were all placed in the Dezheng Palace, and the other officials who were able to go to the palace in the Tang Dynasty basically understood that the country was brewing changes, naturally no one came to block the emperor and the important ministers of the country at this time, and the early dynasty of this day ended quickly. Subsequently, Li Jing was in front and a bunch of ministers were behind, basically forming an irregular pyramid formation according to their official positions and status, and marched towards the Dezheng Hall collectively.

Li Jinglong walked tiger steps, strode forward, and his chest was full of pride. In the past few days, Li Jing has been fooled by Lin Feng in such an all-round way from the inside out, and a small sprout that is determined to dominate the world has begun to emerge in his heart that originally had no intention of fighting. He was originally an extremely smart person, and he could naturally tell that Lin Feng's guess about the future situation was basically inseparable, and the general trend of the world had already made it clear that those who advance were born and those who retreated died.

Father, you created my Tang Dynasty, let it flourish in my hands! Li Jing glanced at the clear blue morning sky with his fingers and whispered softly. At this time, the sun is about to leap out of the sky, and a few faint clouds in the eastern sky are reflected in a colorful and magnificent way.

The seating arrangement did not change, and everyone knew the way and quickly took their seats. Wei Cen, Cha Wenhui and others wanted to see Song Qiqiu last night, but they were unexpectedly blocked, and they were very worried. But in the early days of the dynasty, although they didn't have the opportunity to talk to Song Qiqiu, they saw the meaning of calmness and comfort in Song Qiqiu's looking back eyes, and they temporarily put their minds at ease.

Li Jingsui's face was flushed, and after looking around, he said loudly: "Ministers, yesterday we successfully passed the three reform measures of benefiting businessmen, elite soldiers, and government officials, and the debate on the reform of benefiting farmers also started smoothly. After the king consulted with the saint, it was decided to follow the sound advice of Lord Song, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and it is not allowed to be hasty, and it is planned to invite the six ministries of the three provinces to discuss together before holding an open debate. Therefore, the minutes of the reform of the agricultural sector will be very simple: first, the ministers present at the meeting agreed to carry out agricultural tax consolidation, and second, they all agreed to discuss and debate together. I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

The Southern Tang Dynasty followed the system of the Xi and Tang dynasties, and the central government agencies were divided into three provinces: Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu. Filing and drafting of edicts and decrees of the Ministry of Chinese Books; The subordinate is responsible for reviewing the case filing and draft of the Chinese book to decide whether to implement it or not; Shangshu Province is the administrative office, under which it is divided into six departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, which is the so-called three provinces and six ministries system.

A large group of people were stunned for a moment, if this is the end of the debate, what are you still doing here today? Song Qiqiu suddenly had a bad feeling, he had already told the household department Shangshu Tao Qian last night to exaggerate the harmfulness of the agricultural reform no matter what today, and he also came up with a large set of rhetoric, striving to drag the agricultural reform first, and then slowly try to plot the other three methods, but now he is like using all his strength to prepare to punch, but he found that the target of the punch disappeared, and he was naturally depressed.

Li Jingsui waited for a while, and when he saw that no one made a sound, he took the lead in raising his right hand, looked at the people present and said, "I agree, please raise your hands to vote." ”

brush, all hands raised.

"Okay, our agricultural reform has passed." Li Jingsui waved his hand, and the Zhongshu people next to him immediately submitted the two minutes of the official rule and Linong, and asked everyone to sign them.

Soon, everyone signed the name and began to look at Li Jingsui in puzzlement. According to the usual practice, after the court meeting, the relevant departments should draw up detailed regulations and promulgate them for implementation.

Li Jingsui looked at the inexplicable ministers, and was proud in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face: "Now please ask the Holy Lord to preside." This was Li Jingsui's temporary idea, according to the previous discussion, he also presided over the debate on the ten questions of recruiting talents, but he got up early and found that his imperial brother looked extremely excited, and he kept walking in front of the throne at this time, and did not sit down, so he decided to let Xian.

Li Jing also had this intention, walked quickly to the debate table, did not sit down, and said loudly:

"To govern the country and the country, talent is urgent. The key to the success or failure of change lies in ideological understanding, the key lies in the people who implement it, and the key lies in whether there are talents. If I want to show off in the forest and stand out, I must be eclectic to recruit talents.

I want to follow the example of the previous emperor to change the Ying Hall into a recruitment academy, and open Enke this autumn to recruit talents from all over the world. Lin Yilang is loyal to the country, and after the three sparse countries of the country, he put forward ten questions about recruiting talents, intending to promote the development of science and technology and military in Datang. Now I would like to ask Lin Yilang to first clarify the ten questions of recruitment. ”

Lin Feng sat below, looking at Li Jing who was radiant in front of him, and sighed in his heart, Li Jing has such a mentality and state of mind, which is in line with the evaluation of "the essence of the spirit" and "the height of the instrument" in the history books.

Hearing Li Jing put forward his name, Lin Feng quickly stood up, bowed down and saluted: "Xie Lu Xie Your Majesty praised, Weichen really didn't dare to be." How many facts in ancient and modern times can prove that if people make the best use of their talents, they will do everything; If everything is done, it is not enough to be rich and strong. And those who are talented, the more they ask for it, the more they are placed, and the more they are scarce. These two sentences were the words of Sun Yat-sen of the Republic of China and Wei Yuan of the Qing Dynasty, and Lin Feng took them over again and turned them into his own words.

Subsequently, Lin Feng listed the ten questions of recruiting talents one by one, and briefly stated his starting point.

As Lin Feng's crisp and agitated voice echoed in the hall, the hall fell into a death-like silence again.
