Chapter 80: Lu Aiqing is really a pillar of the Han Dynasty! (Grand Chapter, 2-in-1)
Luoyang, Xunfu.
"Wen Ruo! Wen Ruo! ”
Cao Cao, who had left Lu Qi's Mansion earlier, had already rushed to the Xun Mansion, and under the leadership of a slave, as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he was already impatient and shouted towards the inner courtyard.
"Lord Cao, please go this way, my son-in-law is in the study."
When the servant saw that Cao Cao was directly making noise in the courtyard, and his expression was embarrassed, he had to hurry up and take him to the study, otherwise, if he continued like this, he would be the one who would be punished later.
"Mengde, why are you in such a hurry?"
However, before the two of them could continue to take a few steps forward, they saw that at the end of the corridor, Xun Yu had already walked out.
"Wen Ruo! Let's go, I have something important to talk to you! ”
Seeing that the person he was looking for had already appeared, Cao Cao hurriedly walked forward, pulled up Xun Yu's sleeves, and wanted to find a quiet place.
"Don't be so flustered, just go to my study."
Cao Cao's eager look, Xun Yu had long been used to it, so he didn't think much about it, but took Cao Cao to the study.
......
"Childe, Lord Cao, please use it slowly."
After all the tea and snacks were ready, the slave left, and after closing the door, Cao Cao could no longer hold back and said to Xun Yu:
"Wen Ruo, I just came from Ziyi's mansion, what do you guess I know?"
"Things that benefit the people for thousands of years!!"
"What will benefit the people? Meng De, this big man is about to change his dynasty and surname, can't you see it? ”
Xun Yu, who originally had a smile on the corner of his mouth, when he heard the word 'Ziyi', he retreated with a smile and said a little coldly.
"I knew you would say that!"
Cao Cao saw that his friend Xun Yu's attitude changed instantly, and he immediately knew what he was thinking now.
"Wen Ruo, let me ask you, since Ziyi's army entered Luoyang, have you done anything that hurts heaven and reason, or is a big rebellion?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Taking over all the important places in Luoyang checkpoints, it is even more coercive to the current majesty, granting him the position of prime minister, and commanding the world's soldiers and horses, such a well-known wolf ambition, isn't it a big rebellion?!"
Xun Yu smiled coldly.
"That's right, Ziyi did control all the checkpoints in Luoyang, but he never hurt anyone, the people still live and work in peace and contentment, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have not been persecuted by him."
"At the same time, I inquired earlier that Ziyi also wiped out all Dong Zhuo's army in Hedong County before he arrived!"
"Please also ask Wen Ruo to think about it carefully, if Ziyi had not come, then what would Dong Zhuo, who was summoned into the city by General He, do?!"
"In my guess, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will stir up Luoyang City into a bloody storm!"
"Then I'm afraid it won't be like this at this time!"
Cao Cao did not refute Xun Yu's words, but just shifted the topic to Dong Zhuo.
"Yes, if Dong Zhuo enters the city, it will indeed be as you say, but this is just turning a hungry wolf into a fierce tiger!"
"The nature of the matter has not changed at all!"
With Xun Yu's talent, he naturally has already seen Dong Zhuo's disobedience to Dong Zhuo, who has been staying in Hedong County, but now replacing Dong Zhuo with Lu Qi is just bringing another person to Luoyang.
"You think like this, Ziyi has already known about it, but do you know what Ziyi wants next?"
Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but asked with a smile.
"It's nothing more than coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world, above and below one person on the surface, secretly, I'm afraid that he has already been plotting against the entire Han."
Xun Yu sneered.
"Phew!"
"In vain, I thought that if you Xun Wen were the real great talent of the country, I didn't expect that your vision would be so short-sighted!"
"Although I, Cao Mengde, don't have much talent, at least I know that I ask for my life for the people!"
"But what about you?!"
"I only understand the so-called political struggle, as well as rights and thrones!"
"It's me Cao Mengde who is blind, I thought that you Xun Wenruo was also a clear stream in the world, but now it seems that you are just a person who is full of interests and has nothing to do with the people of the world!"
After scolding Xun Yu, Cao Cao got up directly, no matter how ugly Xun Yu's face was, he just said solemnly:
"You are a citizen of the Han family, not a citizen of the Liu family!"
"Anyone who travels dozens of miles to Luoyang, and you can see civilians starving to death on the streets everywhere, or selling their children and daughters because they don't have much food at home, is it really that the imperial court can't control it?!"
"If you really can't manage it, then I, Lu Qi, will take care of it!"
"Why should he let tens of thousands of innocent people bear the disaster caused by Liu Hong?!"
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!"
"What he didn't dare to do in the past, let me Lu Qi do it today!"
"You should know that if I really covet power, I'm afraid that the person sitting on the imperial chair now is not surnamed Liu!"
"The above words are what Ziyi said before, he doesn't care about rights at all!"
"Even, I also ask for the life of the children of the poor families in the world, and I will ask Your Majesty to play the 'imperial examination system' the next day!"
"It is even more talented, and has produced a 'white paper' where materials can be seen everywhere, so that the people of the world will no longer regard paper as valuable!"
"Also, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of catties of new agricultural things per mu!"
"Just these, his Lu Ziyi's exploits can be compared with Kong Sheng!"
"Xun Wenruo, you have been sitting alone in the mansion these days and watching the changes, to put it mildly, you are just cherishing your own wings!"
"Cao, I'm ashamed to be with you!"
After that, as soon as Cao Cao dropped his sleeves, he stepped out of the door!
"The imperial examination system..."
"No more expensive paper..."
"The things of the new farmer..."
"How is that possible?!"
Xun Yumu sat slumped on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief...
......
Next.
Weiyang Palace, court meeting.
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Emperor Xie!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to do at today's court meeting?"
On the dragon chair, Liu Wei asked His Royal Highness's military officials.
"Your Majesty, the minister has his own music."
When everyone heard the prestige, they saw that it was Prime Minister Lu, so they turned their eyes to other places.
"Since it is Lu Aiqing, then there is no need to be so complicated, Aiqing can just tell it directly."
When Liu Wei saw Lu Qi, who was about to play, he hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!"
Lu Qi didn't seem to see the fear in Liu Wei's eyes, and said with a light smile:
"Your Majesty, the minister has three things to do."
"First, please change your majesty to 'filial piety and honesty officials' to 'imperial examination election officials'!"
"Second, please order Your Majesty to reduce the amount of paper sales in the world and set it at 'one penny'."
"Third, please grant the minister 10,000 acres of land, and the minister has 10,000 acres of new agricultural products, which can eliminate the food problem in the world."
After finishing speaking, Lu Qi looked directly at Liu Wei and smiled without saying a word.
"Lu... Lu Aiqing is really a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and these three things are all allowed! ”
Suddenly, he saw Lu Qi smiling at him, but Liu Wei felt that his heart was getting more and more hairy, and he couldn't stop trembling, and then hurriedly responded.
However, what Liu Wei didn't expect was that as soon as he agreed, His Highness had opponents stand up!
"Your Majesty! Never! ”
I saw that Wang Yun stepped forward and shouted at Liu Wei with sad eyes:
"Your Majesty! Filial piety and honesty have been around since ancient times, this is the political foundation of my Han Dynasty, how can it be easily changed? ! ”
"Also, there is a folk saying that 'paper is more expensive than gold', if it really drops to one dollar, then the world will be in chaos!"
"This Lu Ziyi, the wolf is ambitious, he wants to ruin the prestige of my Han royal family!"
"Your Majesty! You can't just succumb to the villain's coercion!! ”
"Snort~"
Unexpectedly, before Liu Wei could speak, Lu Qi couldn't help laughing.
"Thief! You really owe the word Hermes-Epitek, and you are acting like this, don't you want to cut off my Han foundation for cholera?! ”
Wang Yun saw Lu Qi laughing, so he scolded him angrily.
"Noise!"
"Bang!"
Seeing Lu Qi's eyes flash, everyone in the hall found that Wang Yun was also attacked by an invisible attack, blasting to the top of the beam!
"Smack!"
"Ahem...!"
"You...."
After landing on the ground, Wang Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood foam violently, and stared at Lu Qi with a resentful expression.
"Lord Wang, I'll give you one last chance, if you dare to make a little movement next, then Lu is afraid that this Weiyang Hall will be contaminated with a ghost."
"Please also Lord Wang, take it by yourself."
Lu Qi showed a harmless smile and said to Wang Yunyan.
Seeing such a scene, the civil and military officials on the side suddenly dared to crack, and at the same time lowered their heads tightly, and no longer dared to make a sound, for fear that they would become the next Wang Yun...
"Lu didn't explain it just now, so now, let me tell you about the previous three things, what do you want."
As if he regarded Weiyang Palace as his own mansion, Lu Qi continued to preach during a leisurely walk:
"First, this so-called filial piety and honesty is indeed a mistake for the election of officials!"
"For officials, one is talent, the other is morality, both should have both, only morality, no talent, that is a mediocre official!"
"Let me ask, what is the use of my big man wanting this mediocre official?!"
"Therefore, it is imperative to change the system of filial piety and honesty!"
"As for the so-called 'imperial examination system', it is from the whole country, after multiple screening considerations, some non-governmental talents are recruited as officials."
"The imperial examination system does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, everyone can participate, and at the same time, the first three examinations are taken in each prefecture and township, county, and county, and the content of the examination is mainly set up as 'economics', 'business', and 'politics'... Wait, all the content that is conducive to the people's livelihood and national policy of my Han Dynasty can be set as exam questions! ”
"The winner came to Luoyang and entered the palace to participate in the 'palace test'!"
"His Majesty will personally invigilate the exam, and the top three will be selected!"
"After that..."
"The above is all the content of the imperial examination system, I have already sent someone to Youzhou to invite Lord Cai Yong back to Luoyang, at most it will be there in a few days."
"At that time, let Lord Cai be the person in charge of the imperial examination system, I don't know if you have any objections?"
After Lu Qi confided all his thoughts, he found that the officials of the imperial court, who were originally afraid of him, were all looking at him with burning eyes, and their expressions were still very strange.
"You... How can you be sure that no one cheats during the exam? ”
Wang Yun, who was beaten by Lu Qi's eyes and didn't dare to squeak, also had the courage to ask at this time.
"Heh, cheater, after multiple screenings, if you can still reach the first level of the palace examination, all the invigilators during the period will be killed!"
"At the same time, those who cheat will punish the nine clans! Local people, three generations can not be officials! ”
"So, maybe cut off?"
Seeing that Wang Yun actually asked himself, Lu Qi didn't care about what he said before, but asked him with a sneer.
"But..."
Wang Yun, who got the reply, had a twinkle in his eyes, but he consciously lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look up at Lu Qi anymore.
"Since you have no objections, then this matter should be dealt with immediately!"
"The ugly words are ahead, after the implementation of the imperial examination system, if anyone dares to put their claws into it, then don't blame Lu for being ruthless!"
After warning everyone in the hall, Lu Qi regained his smile, and then said to Liu:
"Your Majesty, let's talk about this second matter."
"But before I tell you, I have something I want to ask Your Majesty to see."
After speaking, Lu Qi took out a stack of white paper from his arms under the gaze of hundreds of officials.
"This is paper made by my improved paper-making technique."
"The quality is better than the paper that was circulated among the people before, and the cost is extremely cheap, and the materials are all things that can be found everywhere."
"Even if this thing is priced at a dollar, it is profitable, and at the same time, once it spreads throughout the country, there are three benefits."
"First, all the people can read and write, which has the effect of enlightenment."
"Second, the people of my Han Dynasty are tens of thousands, and there is no need to say much about the demand for paper, the benefits that can be generated by this thing are taken from the people and used by the people, which is the blessing of the people!"
"Third, this thing can also solve the previous 'imperial examination system', the needs of the children of the poor family for paper, and the two can complement each other!"
"Huh!"
I saw Lu Qi wave his palm, and a stack of white paper in his hand appeared on Liu Wei's desk.
"This paper is really so cheap?!"
Although Liu Wei is young, he is also familiar with the scriptures, so he will naturally not be unfamiliar with paper, and he also knows how expensive paper is!
"That's right, this kind of paper, there are still 100 catties of storage in the minister's house, and at the same time, the minister has already ordered people to start mass production, presumably within half a month, it can start to sell in large quantities in the world!"
Lu Qi nodded in response.
"Good! This is a blessing for my great man! Lu Aiqing is really a pillar of the country! ”
Liu Wei praised with a sincere expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, and now I'll talk about this third thing."
As soon as Lu Qi's words came out, the hundred officials, who were originally very interested in the paper in Liu Wei's hand, turned their attention back to Lu Qi.
They are really curious now, what kind of divine thing is this so-called crop with a yield of thousands or even tens of thousands of catties per mu?!
"When I was fighting in the north, I found two kinds of farming things by chance in the land of Mobei."
"After Dechen personally excavated and tasted, he found that the taste was sweet and delicious, so he named it 'sweet potato', and at the same time there was a dish called 'potato', although it was eaten directly, it tasted like chewing wax, but if you add some seasonings, or cook and roast in a variety of ways, it is also a kind of thing to fill your hungry stomach."
"These two crops, the yield is gratifying, Chen has already started planting in Luoyang City, and after two months, it will be ripe!"
"At the same time, this thing can be ripened three times a year, or even four times a year!"
