Chapter 532: Exams

Sun Shi learned that Ouyang Si was from a rural peasant, and after a little pondering, he came up with a strategic topic, how to solve the disadvantages of laziness and redundancy.

Because it is a proposition on the spot, Ouyang Si does not have to answer with a pen, he only needs to dictate the way to solve the problem.

Therefore, after Sun Shi came up with the question, Zhu Xu ordered someone to light a stick of incense and give him a stick of incense to think, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also silent at this time.

Originally, some people were unconvinced, thinking that Sun Shi was biased towards Ouyang Si, and people from the countryside must know more about the rural wandering people than ordinary people, but when they saw that the emperor had limited time, he only gave a stick of incense time, and there was no more trouble.

After all, the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military, and it was not easy to break the problem and say a rough idea in front of so many people in such a short time.

Ouyang Si saw the little eunuch light the incense stick, and immediately closed his eyes, he also knew that there were so many eyes staring at him in the court, facing them, he would definitely not be able to calm down and think, so he had to close his eyes as if they didn't exist.

After touching about half of the incense, Ouyang Si opened his eyes and leaned forward slightly, "Your Majesty, the student can answer." ”

After speaking, he stood up straight, raised his voice, and said word by word: "The student said that there are two disadvantages of laziness today, and three disadvantages of redundancy. The reason why this world sits for a long time is sleepy, and the people with lofty ideals are still angry and sighing. The so-called disease of wanderlust is two, one is called nomad and the other is heretical. The wandering people have few people, and the heresy is rare. Why are the people willing to wander lazy? It starts from the uneven and uneven signs, and the disease is due to the merger of the strong and powerful. The small people have nothing to do with farming, thinking that eating for art can still be a means of survival. ”

Next, Ouyang Si started with "The Field of the World? should be responsible for the cultivation of the world, but the small people suffer from the exploitation of the filthy and the powerful, and the people who eat in all directions" expanded? It is said that only 12 out of 10 people in the countryside have their own land? Nine times out of ten, the landless? With the cultivation of these 12 ploughing fields, the lack of food is obvious.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Si proposed again? The world has suffered from this homeless people for a long time? But I haven't found a good way to settle down, or some people say that they can go into business.

"However, the students think that the business of the homeless is a last resort? And without changing it, but in vain? The minister is afraid of the husband and the businessman, and is not worried about the business. What is the depth of today's evils? The changer should take care of it and take care of it. Clueless? Will it drive the people of agriculture to business? and drove the people of merchants to steal. The world is a thief? The country is not long in coming. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, thinking that Ouyang Si's words were too alarmist, but everyone saw that the emperor did not speak, so they discussed it in private.

Ouyang Si also heard a buzzing discussion? A little hesitant? Continue to come up with your own solutions? Does it mean promulgating a law restricting land? Tie these homeless people to the fields, lower taxes, and prohibit corruption? Homeless people have their own family business, who will wander around, and who will not want to live and work in peace?

As for another drawback, heretics, Ouyang Si also proposed that such people "have no wisdom beyond the world, but steal the benefits of their reduction and escape from punishment, and do not work or business." Don't be a farmer, don't be a farmer, take care of yourself. And it advocates the teaching of no father and no king in the next heaven, which will make the flow of wind unavoidable. ”

The danger of this kind of person is well known, and the solution proposed by Ouyang Si is to correct the conduct and discipline, strictly prohibit such people from wandering around and harming the neighbors, and forcibly order them to return to the farm, and if there are those who do not comply, they will be severely punished by justice.

After talking about the disadvantages of homelessness, Ouyang Si mentioned the disadvantages of redundancy, which is said to have three, one is redundant personnel, two is redundant soldiers, and three is redundant expenses, Ouyang Si also talked about the social harm of the three and the solutions, during which he also laid out some examples he saw from historical books to support his views.

In short, this response is clear, clear, reasonable, although some views are slightly exaggerated, but Sun Shi saw that the emperor did not pursue it, so he did not need to be a villain in vain, and gave a fairly pertinent evaluation, affirming Ouyang Si's literary brilliance, emphasizing that if this policy is carefully crafted, it is enough to win his position as a flower explorer in the palace examination.

But some people don't think so, the official department Shangshu pointed out that the imperial court had begun to reduce the tax the year before last, and the annual assessment of officials was also very rigorous, how could there still be a trend of exploitation?

Therefore, the real reason for the large number of tourists is that they are not overly taxed or exploited by corrupt officials, but that they are lazy by nature, and such people should be punished directly and severely, and they need to be sent to the fields to educate them!

As soon as the secretary of the ministry spoke, the secretary of the military department also stood up, he was dissatisfied with the word redundant soldiers proposed by Ouyang Si, and proposed, "The husband and the saint are so in order to support the officials and soldiers of the world, why not?" If the officials have the wisdom to govern people, they will also eat. If a soldier has the courage of the enemy, he is the one who eats it, and he is clear and brave. ”

That is, the imperial court used Yulu to support officials and soldiers, each taking what he needed and performing his own duties, which is complex and complex, which can a scholar understand?

Ouyang Ruoying doesn't like to hear this, he is a household servant, as far as he knows, there is indeed a redundancy between officials and soldiers, Ouyang Si's point of view is not wrong, but the solution he proposed may be too simple and idealistic, but this does not mean that his strategy is wrong.

The court was quickly divided into three factions, one was the support faction headed by Xu Fushan and others, who believed that this policy was well-intentioned, the ideas were clear, and the arguments and arguments were clearly hierarchical, and it was really a masterpiece of the upper class that it could be dictated in such a short time.

Of course, they also admit that there are some flaws, but the flaws are not hidden, after all, Ouyang Sinai is a scholar, and he has just passed the age of the weak crown, it is rare to have this insight.

The opposition is headed by the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the department, and they think that this article is suspected of being alarmist and exaggerated, and to put it bluntly, it is a leopard in the tube, and it is the class that has an axe, and which person in the main hall does not know better than him?

There is also a faction of silence, most of which are military generals, led by Li Mao, the prince of Zhenguo, and even Wang Bai, who has been the most noisy before, has also remained silent.

Zhu Xu saw that the ministers in the audience were arguing again, so he coughed and cleared his throat, and the people arguing in the audience hurriedly shut up when they saw this.

Zhu Xu did not directly comment on Ouyang Si's strategy, but hand-picked the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and Zhenguo Gong plus two cabinet members, a total of five people, and Zhu Xu ordered these five people to score this strategy.

Except for Sun Shi, these five people have been silent before, so it is fair for Zhu Xu to point out these five people.

Sun Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to express his position and gave a circle, which was regarded as excellent, Li Mao, the prince of Zhenguo, also gave a circle because he had a good impression of Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng, and the head of the household department hesitated for a moment because of the relationship between the household servants, and also gave a circle, three circles down, Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest were two members of the cabinet.
