Chen Xiu knew that his assessment was coming, so he rearranged his thoughts and said:

"I naturally had doubts about his letter, but for me, there will never be a chance to continue to stay in Lingnan, and my children and grandchildren can only be sinners."

"Even if Tang Guo is not as good as written in the letter, at least my family can live as civilians here."

Wen Yi asked, "So you brought your family with you?" ”

Chen Xiu said calmly: "Yes." If the king is not the master, I will follow the crowd and become a petty official, and I will have the right to improve the situation of my family. ”

"And with a stable environment, I can concentrate on my studies. But this is only the worst-case scenario, and in fact I am nine percent sure that what is written in the letter is true. ”

Wen Yi said: "Oh? You trust Guo Jiting so much? ”

Chen Xiu shook his head and said, "No, I believe that what the letter says is not because I trust him, but because I know how capable he is." ”

"With his ability, it is impossible to come up with unprecedented national policies such as the imperial examination, the apportionment of the land into the mu and the payment of grain by the gentry, etc., it can only be that someone told him or he saw it with his own eyes."

"In either case, I'm going to come and visit the great sage who proposed these new laws, because he has answered the questions that have plagued me for twenty years."

Wen Yi said curiously: "What problem?" ”

Chen Xiudao: "In the first year of Huanglong, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty once asked the Third Duke a question. ”

"Fang has done little today, the conscription has been reduced, the military revolution has not moved, and the people are poor, and the thieves are not stopped, where is the blame?"

Wen Yi's heart moved, he had also heard of this matter. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty grew up in the people when he was a child, knew the suffering of the people, and was a very diligent monarch who loved the people.

However, after more than 20 years as emperor, he found that the people were getting poorer and poorer, and there were more and more thieves.

He was very puzzled, didn't he say that he would be lightly punished, that harsh punishments should be abolished, that the virtuous should be appointed, and that he would not use swords and soldiers...... Can the world be governed?

Why did I do this, and this is still happening?

No one could answer him, and he died ten months later with that question.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiu was actually thinking about this problem.

Chen Xiu paused for a moment before continuing: "I always thought that this sentence was the root cause of the turmoil in the world, if Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty could find the answer at that time, maybe the Han Dynasty would not have died." ”

"Countless readers have also been looking for the answer to this question......"

"Since then, there have been mainly the theory of restructuring and the theory of changing the surname of the country......"

"The reform theory believes that the ancients did not have such a problem, and now that there is a problem with the system, we should restore the ancient system according to the scriptures."

"They started by reforming the official system and restoring the ancient official name, and during the period of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the imperial historian was changed to the great priest, and the assassin was changed to the state pastor......"

"However, changing the soup without changing the medicine did not achieve any effect in the end, and the reform was said to be a failure......"

"The problems of the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Han became increasingly serious, and Bao Xuan's book of Seven Deaths and Seven Deaths further revealed the problem......

"Dasikong He Wu and General Zuo Shi Dan wanted to start with the restriction of land and slaves, so they jointly wrote to Emperor Han Yuan: all the famous field animal slaves and maids have passed the products, and they have not entered the county officials."

However, this order was strongly opposed and shelved, and He Wu was forced to commit suicide...... It's a pity. ”

"When all the attempts failed, the name of the country appeared and became popular."

"This method was mainly proposed by the Rams, who believed that the king was the one who led everyone out of troubled times and sufferings to live in peace and contentment."

"He Xiu's explanation is most in line with the requirements of the Ram Party for the emperor: the inner and outer Xia, the inner Xia and the outer Yidi, and the Yidi into the Jue, the world is as big and small as the same."

"The Chuanguo Yi surname faction believes that since your Liu family can't govern the world well, then change to a capable one to govern."

"So there was Wang Mang's rebellion......"

"All the attempts of the predecessors failed, and the 400-year-old Han died because of it......"

Chen Xiu talked eloquently, quoted scriptures and classics, and detailed the study of the former Han Dynasty on the system and the way forward.

Although he is a time-traveler, he does not specialize in history after all, he sees history as a story, and all he knows is historical stories.

I haven't paid attention to this kind of in-depth detailed research, and this is the first time I've heard the stories behind those historical stories.

At this time, he knew that there were so many secrets hidden behind Wang Mang's new policy.

Only then did I know how much research and exploration the ancients had done to get to where China could get to this day.

In his previous life, he had always heard a saying that history is our most precious treasure, and at that time he only thought it was those historical stories.

Now we finally understand the true meaning of this sentence, and the experience left by our predecessors to explore the road ahead is our real wealth.

And Chen Xiu's ability to extract these things from history, summarize them and think about them is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It's a great talent.

Could it be that my Xiao He and Zhuge are finally coming?

Wen Yi was very excited.

Chen Xiu knew that he had passed the assessment, and this was not a place to talk freely, and the time was not right, so he accepted it when he saw it:

"The predecessors have never thought of a solution, and all reforms are palliative. Even if it succeeds, it can only ease the pace of extinction, but cannot change the outcome of extinction. ”

"I've been thinking about it for 20 years and still can't think of a solution...... Until I saw Guo Jiting's letter......"

"To govern the country, the first thing to do is to govern the officials, and to govern the officials, there must be a set of appropriate methods for selecting officials...... It is easy for filial piety to be occupied by local tyrants...... Don't mention the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, don't mention it......"

"The imperial examination system is the fairest way I have ever heard of the selection of officials...... With the bottom-up channel, the talents of the world will be in the king's pocket. ”

"The abolition of the poll tax will free the people from the heavy taxes, and they will no longer have to sell themselves as slaves for the tax tax, and the hidden households will disappear as a result......"

"The contract law stipulates that even if you sell yourself as a slave, it is only labor, not personality, and the contract shall not exceed 15 years at most, which solves the problem of the matter of the powerful and the enslaved."

"The officials and gentry are integrated and the errand is integrated to pay food...... The imperial court can receive more taxes, and there will be no more self-sacrifice in the world......"

"The excessive progressive tax on land, the more land you have, the more taxes you pay, which can limit land annexation, force the Haoqiang clan to divide their households, and further weaken the strength of their backbone......"

The following is an article by article analysis of the benefits that can be brought by praising the new policies of the Tang State, explaining why he thinks that he has seen a solution to the problem of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know if the new law of Tang Guo can solve this problem, but this is the policy that I know of that is most likely to solve the problem, so I came to Tang State."

"After half a month of on-the-spot inspection, I have seen with my own eyes what this policy will look like after it is implemented......

"Maybe it's just the legendary rule of three generations...... I am willing to work hard for such a new deal, even if it costs me my life. ”

Speaking of this, he knelt in front of Wen Yi and said prostrately: "Please take it in with the king, and show your willingness to serve the dogs and horses." ”
