Jian Yong opened Bai Tu's crucial letterhead, and after looking at it a few times, his face quickly turned green.

If it weren't for Bai Tu's serious look, Jian Yong really suspected that Bai Tu was deliberately embarrassing the imperial court - how could he agree?

On the letterhead, there are all kinds of them, a total of eight.

The first is Bai Tu's own, that is, to divide the river and rule - with Jiangling, Shouchun, and Guangling as the boundary, Bai Tu will not give up the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion in the south, which is not only responsible for Bai Tu himself, but also responsible for the military and the wealthy families who depend on him.

Although it is said that it is the territory of the territory, in Jian Yong's opinion, this is the most normal and almost the only condition that can be agreed!

After all, compared to the "bottom line" in this regard, Bai Tu even took the initiative to return Nanyang and northern Jiangxia......

However, from the second point, it has been "nonsense"!

The second article boils down to two words - imperial examination.

The meaning of "imperial examination" was also written on the letterhead, and it was even proposed that if the imperial court did not understand, the general's office could send someone to guide it.

But...... Is this a matter of guidance?

Meritocracy, examination and official? This is obviously an anti-imperial court style of political incorrectness in the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Article 3 is in the same vein as Article 2, and it can be summed up as follows: the establishment of government schools.

That is, to promote the set of county schools and county schools and break the monopoly of knowledge......

Of course, Bai Tu did not say that he wanted to go to the Song Dynasty to make the imperial examination almost the only system for electing officials, but only proposed that the imperial examination and the inspection should be carried out in parallel, similar to that in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It's just that compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, Baitu's imperial examination also mentioned arithmetic, organ science, natural science and other categories, not only to be an official, but also to have some sprouts of "research".

After all, the transition takes time!

"The heart of the white prince can show the sun and the moon, but these two or three ...... Too much of a hurry, right? Jian Yong said in a stiff tone.

"Don't worry, the General's Mansion is doing it now, if the imperial court can't do it well, I can send someone to guide it." When Bai Tu heard it, his tone was even more blunt than Jian Yong's.

Obviously, Tang Taizong's long-term strategy of "earning heroes and making all their heads white" is now in the eyes of Jian Yong, or the imperial court, but it is a strategy to disrupt the country, which makes Bai Tu very helpless.

"Then the ratio of this imperial examination to the inspection examination ......" Jian Yong still wanted to struggle to see if Bai Tu had any leeway.

"In short, in the future, there will be imperial examinations every three years, and foreign students are encouraged to serve, and local students are also encouraged to travel far away to promote the policy of the General's Mansion." Bai Tu said directly.

Translated, if the imperial court does not attach importance to the imperial examination, the talents cultivated by your official school will flow to the general's mansion, on the contrary, you attach importance to the imperial examination, and are unwilling to spend money to support official education, and in the future, Chudi students will occupy half of the court and the central government.

Of course, you can also break the jar and break it, and you don't pay attention to both, but if the court agrees, these must be spread to the world and the salty envoy will know about it, if you can't do it, you will not only lose your trust in the general's mansion, but also lose your trust in the world!

Jian Yong moved the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything - after all, he was also from a poor family, although he felt that Bai Tu was embarrassed by the court, but deep down he also had expectations for it.

The fourth article is to require the imperial court to support agriculture and release industry, that is, like the general's mansion, to promote the essence of Shennong and other measures, and at the same time to relax the suppression of industry and workshops.

As for pure commerce, Bai Tu's attitude has always been "no matter what", and all localities have the responsibility to ensure the tranquility of trade routes, but commercial taxes have also risen again and again...... Not only can they ensure that they will not be slaughtered pigs, but also clear up the bandits in the territory, which has already made the general's mansion very popular with businessmen under the backdrop of "peers".

It's just that this tax is really painful, and compared with agricultural taxes and industrial taxes, commercial taxes are the heaviest.

After all, it was Lu Su and others who calculated it in all aspects, so that they would make money and not get rich.

After all, the dividends of the development of industry and agriculture are spelled out by the various ministries of the general's government and the common people, and businessmen also have the right to enjoy them, but they cannot let middlemen grab the lion's share......

At first glance, although it is somewhat contrary to the principle of agriculture, it seems to be better than the previous two?

However, a small note in it made Jian Yong want to spit out his mouth - promising to reduce the grain tax to ten taxes within five years, and cancel the grain tax within ten years!

"Bai Gong is too high and low, there is no grain tax, how can the court provide for it and how can it operate?" Jian Yongqiang endured it and didn't squirt out his saliva.

"That's why we want to expand the official field, and now Guanzhong is withering, I heard that the imperial court is about to restart the Guanzhong water conservancy? I think this is a great opportunity, Wan Wan take advantage of this time, the land abandoned by the family to regain the official ownership, the development of collective farming, coupled with the continued development of agriculture in the future, the output will also be greatly increased, as long as the industry develops, the industrial tax and commercial tax are enough to make the imperial court have spare power, requisition the surplus grain of the peasant households, to fill the treasury! ”

Bai Tu cared about the appearance of the court, so that Jian Yong couldn't say anything to refute, but he ...... The concept of grain tax is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Eastern Han people.

And looking at the fifth and sixth points, Jian Yong feels that this fourth point is not the most pitiful.

The fifth point is that the royal family industry is independent, and it cannot be taken lightly, and future generations cannot be sealed in vain......

The purpose of Bai Tu is very clear, that is, to point the sword at the encroachment of the imperial family on the imperial court.

After Liu Bang ruled the world, he said to his father, your old man used to say that my eldest brother was hardworking and willing to work, and how much land there was in the family, but I was idle...... But now all the land under heaven is mine.

However, Bai Tu wanted to tell Liu Xie, don't listen to your ancestors' nonsense, the world belongs to the people of the world, not your ancestors, nor yours.

In fact, the old Liu family in the Han Dynasty did a good job in this regard, mainly after the Seven Kings Rebellion, starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the old Liu family was more ruthless to their own people, and the vassal kings could cut it, not only making mistakes, but also cutting automatically from generation to generation.

For example, before Liu Bei raised his army, he was a straw sandal......

Compared with the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the clan of the Han Dynasty did not bring so much trouble, because the clan of the old Liu family was able to gradually distance themselves from each other and eventually become commoners.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how the old Zhu family descended, it was also the guarantee of the six generals, although most of them had no real power, but the number of children and grandchildren, in the end, even made the finances strained, and the Qing Dynasty was lowered to a lower level, but there was also a guarantee, and there were not only clans, but also the grandfathers of the children of the Eight Banners.

The old Liu family is actually quite good in this regard, Bai Tu specially put it forward, just to prevent the slightest deterioration, after all, if the Han family is revived again, I am afraid that it will really leave an "orthodox" impression in the hearts of the Chinese people, and it will not be easy to be like the royal family of a certain island country, so it will naturally be more strict for the clan relatives.

According to the rules of the White Picture, the emperor did not have the right to confer the title of his son, and the rewards that could be given to future generations must all be picked from the imperial family's own inner treasury.

As for the proportion of taxes going into the inner treasury, there can be no increase in any way - I believe that as long as this rule is set, the future courtiers will also spontaneously look after the emperor.

The main thing is that the unsuccessful knighthood must also be stopped, otherwise the emperor will give his son a county king and a county king at every turn, and the taxes that were originally going to enter the imperial court will not be given to the royal family by the empty gloves and white wolves?

It's just that in Jian Yong's opinion, it's not okay for the emperor to give his son a knighthood, you always draw this rule...... It's going to be painted on the emperor's face, right?

The sixth point is the criminal law, which not only abolishes the ransom for serious crimes, but also faintly means that "everyone is equal"!

The seventh point is the abolition of the life contract and the abolition of slave status, regardless of official or private, the maximum is only a ten-year contract.

The eighth point is even more heartlessly emphasized, all of the above requirements are treated equally to all people, regardless of age, gender, or whether they are criminal slaves......

The eight conditions, except for the first one, are not so much about fighting for interests as about establishing rules for the imperial court, which makes Jian Yong not optimistic about these eight policies, but Bai Tu has no intention of negotiating.
