Coming out of the forbidden army, Lin Feng no longer got on the horse, and hugged his fist to Li Jingsui: "King Qi, your subordinates retire!" ”

Li Jingsui grabbed Lin Feng to death, and said angrily: "Where are you going?!" You just don't want to stay with me, Shangguan, for a while? ”

Lin Feng immediately smiled wryly, wanting to explain but had nothing to say.

Li Jingsui seemed to be happy to see the omnipotent Lin Feng embarrassed once, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, I knew that Lord Lu Daolin was not good to invite." Don't worry, it's not me who wants to keep you this time. The saint said that if he sees you, he will definitely let you go to the imperial study. Since we have all entered the palace today, let's go and meet the saint together. ”

Lin Feng was completely speechless at this moment, so he had to follow him to the imperial study.

The two waited in the imperial study for a long time before they saw Li Jing coming over surrounded by a group of people.

The two were about to pay homage, and Li Jing, who was dressed in light yellow civilian clothes, seemed to be in a good mood, and directly let the two of them be exempted. An accompanying palace maid wanted to come over to wipe the thin sweat from Li Jing's forehead, but he snatched it, wiped it twice, threw it to the palace maid, and then ordered all the idlers to retreat outside the palace gate.

Like a tide falling in the water, only Li Jing, Li Jingsui and Lin Feng were soon left in the imperial study.

"Well, I heard Chongguang say that now I have begun to insist on exercising every day, and I am also a little itchy, I went to exercise for a while just now, and I found that my body sweats a little and feels quite comfortable." Li Jing sat on the dragon throne and started a family routine with the two favored ministers.

Li Jingsui and Lin Feng immediately became sycophants, and words such as "vigorous", "prosperous in spring and autumn", and "Yong'an health" came out. Especially Lin Feng, his mood was also a little high. Li Jing and Li Yu, one is the current emperor and the other is the future emperor, if they can develop a good habit of insisting on exercising, this is undoubtedly a good sign for the future healthy development of the country.

Li Jing waved his hand, picked up a stack of papers on the imperial desk, handed it to Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Aiqing, this is the draft of the reform drawn up by Chang Aiqing and them, I want to hear Lin Aiqing's opinion." ”

Lin Feng glanced at Li Jing's face by the way when he took the paper, and found that he still had a calm look, and he couldn't see his personal likes and dislikes for the reform measures.

Lin Feng turned around and sat down, first quickly browsed the paper in his hand, and then focused on a few pieces of content, covering up the volume.

Although it was expected, Lin Feng was still very disappointed in his heart. The reform measures drawn up by Xiao Yan and others under the leadership of Chang Mengxi, the deputy privy envoy, were mainly formulated around the "City Law", "Commercial Credit Law", "Lord System" and other contents. At a cursory glance, the entries listed for each change are very detailed, but in Lin Feng's view, these reform measures are "four dissimilarities" to put it mildly, and it is ugly to say that these measures have gone to the opposite side of the original intention of the change in a sense.

For example, the "Lords Act" stipulates that the official position of a person born as a lord shall not be higher than the sixth rank, which is to nakedly classify all the talents born from the lord into the third class, and never give people a day; For another example, the "City Change Law" stipulates that the imperial court can change the commercial tax rate in real time according to the needs of the country, and in real life, there has never been a court that thinks that the fiscal revenue is too much, and the people in power will definitely come up with countless methods and reasons to increase the tax rate, and once they taste the sweetness, the entire "City Change Law" will immediately become useless; For example, if a businessman fails to keep his promises, he will be fined five times and recorded in the credit file for five years, which is tantamount to encouraging businessmen to say that if you want to commit a big crime, you will only be fined five times anyway! Even if it is credited with a stain, it will only be five years!

Seeing that Lin Feng was silent for a long time, Li Jing took the initiative to ask, "Lin Aiqing is not very satisfied with these reform measures?" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the specific reform measures can be discussed slowly, but Your Majesty has two thoughts that I want to go straight to Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Li Jing leaned forward and stared at Lin Feng carefully. Li Jingsui also looked at Lin Feng intently.

"The key to a changemaker is not its specific measures, but its purpose of change. The purpose of change should always be at the centre of all ideas and measures for change, and it should not be detached from it at any time. Lin Feng tried his best to keep his tone calm, stood up straight and said.

"The intention and purpose of our Tang Dynasty reform is to strengthen the country, strengthen the army, and enrich the people, so no matter what the measure, its ultimate purpose and effect must be integrated with these three purposes and complement each other, rather than contradicting or even harming these purposes.

As for these reform measures, in Wechen's view, there is a problem with the most basic value judgment standard. To give a simple example, if a craftsman one day invents a single superweapon with a range of more than 500 meters, or invents a superweapon that can kill and injure countless enemies in an instant, so that our army is invincible on the battlefield, then who is more valuable than a scholar who can memorize the books of sages and write good articles? Does the craftsman have to live forever under the scholar? And so on, what about a businessman who has made a lot of contributions to the country? What about a farmer who invented a way to increase yield per acre? Lin Feng said slowly, still giving a simple example to ask the emperor and the prince in front of him.

Before Li Jing could speak, Li Jingsui stood up abruptly and asked in disbelief: "Zhishan, is it really possible to invent such a powerful weapon?" ”

"What's impossible? Didn't there be no large siege chariots on the battlefield in the past, and in the eyes of his subordinates, all weapons were invented one by one in the practice of the battlefield. As for these two weapons, in Lin's view, the former is nothing more than how to greatly increase the impact and explosive power of the weapon; And the latter, just think about the principle of firecrackers, the principle is the same, it is nothing more than the idea of making more pure, more powerful gunpowder explode in an instant in a smaller enclosed space! Lin Feng deliberately said lightly.

The examples Lin Feng gave were guns and explosives, which were the core weapons he was going to use to promote the development of the Tang Academy of Sciences in the future, so naturally he would not explain it so thoroughly at this time.

Li Jingsui grabbed Lin Feng's shoulders excitedly with both hands, and by coincidence, the thumb of his right hand happened to stab Lin Feng's wound that had just been scarred, Lin Feng couldn't help frowning and moaning softly.

Li Jingsui quickly let go, and said excitedly: "Zhishan, I am really looking forward to how many surprises the Academy of Sciences you talked about can bring me to Datang!" ”

Li Jingsui turned his head to look at Li Jing with a pensive face, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, if the weapon mentioned by the Supreme Shan can really be invented, my Tang army will be invincible on the battlefield!" ”

Li Jing also woke up from his contemplation, nodded, and said, "The best words are reasonable, and I will definitely think about it carefully. What about one more point? Please sit down and talk about it in detail. ”

Lin Feng sat down and said, "Please forgive your majesty for saying something indecent." There is a popular saying among the people, the butt determines the head! That is, the position in which a person sits determines his thoughts. Chang Daren and others are loyal to the country, and the ministers really admire them, but in another sense, they themselves also represent the position of the sergeants of the court, and they will subconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will not make subversive changes to the current court structure, official composition, and customary traditions, which determines that many specific reform measures are just a small change in fine-tuning and subtlety. ”

Lin Feng dared to speak outly at this time, pointing out the various shortcomings of the current reform measures, he had something to rely on, who made Li Jing and others too hot at that time, and directly let the forbidden army announce the world first, there was no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, and it was difficult for any horse to chase, and the Southern Tang Dynasty now had to work hard to promote change.

Lin Feng criticized unceremoniously, which made Li Jing a little surprised. He asked with some hesitation, "What does that mean?" ”

Lin Feng still insisted on his previous view. The prophet of Chunjiang Plumbing Duck, who can most directly feel the good or bad of the change measure, is the people it really affects. If the "Market Law" and the "Commercial Credit Law" cannot listen to the opinions of businessmen, and the "Lord Law" cannot listen to the opinions of all living beings in the world, then our reform measures are being carried out behind closed doors, and will inevitably be divorced from our reality and reality, and the results can be imagined.

In Wechen's view, no matter what kind of change or innovation, it is actually based on breaking the old and everything in the past, so as to radiate new vitality! Without the courage and effort to break traditions, inertia, and habits, nothing will change much! Lin Feng ended his assertion with a categorical sentence.

Li Jing and Li Jingsui listened in a daze, and after a long time, Li Jing said with some difficulty: "What the best says, I need to think twice!" ”
