Chapter 645: The Key to Breaking the Cycle

"Zheng, die later; If you don't levy it, it's over immediately! Only the more you march, where can you stop? Brother Wang wants to pay a light tax at this time, although the vision is good, but-" He shook his head.

When everyone heard this, they also thought it was a dead knot. When the treasury has no money, taxes are levied, the people revolt when they can't stand it, they have to spend money to suppress the uprising, they have to raise taxes when they spend too much money, and the people revolt when the taxes are levied ruthlessly...... Infinite Loop.

He Lingchuan looked at Gao Jilin: "What do you think, Senior Brother?" ”

"I think we need to see where the root of these troubles lies." Gao Jilin said slowly,

"The country has suffered disasters one after another, that is, the yuan force is thin, and it cannot be surrounded by the four directions, which shows that the national strength is weak. First see where the crux is, is it because of the monarch's rigidity and great joy? Out of the traitorous pigtails? Or is it out of abusive tyranny? That's the right medicine. When the students heard this, they nodded one after another: "Brother Gao said well, you have to feel the pulse to know the lesion." ”

"Don't talk about those useless ones!" Suddenly a voice rose from the side, overshadowing the others,

"I ask you, how long has the king of this kingdom been in power?" He Lingchuan looked at the person who was in his early twenties, fat, with a long face and a little red nose: "It's been a few years." Who is your Excellency? ”

"My surname is Du!" The man went straight and asked,

"The country is poor and weak, is it because of his reign?"

"It's not." He Lingchuan shook his head,

"The former monarch was old and faint, stubborn and self-serving, and did a lot of stupid things." Of course, he doesn't have anything good to say about the former monarch of the Kite Kingdom.

"After the new monarch came to power, it didn't get any better?"

"Hardly." HE Lingchuan Road,

"Xinjun also implemented a new policy, but it failed." The man slapped the table: "Do you still need to talk about the root cause, in the monarch!" Gao Jilin didn't say anything yet, Jiang Tao was displeased: "I said Du Shan, the weakness of a country is due to many causes and effects, why are you all planted on the monarch?" ”

"The cause and effect you said are all appearances, and the root cause is the monarch!" Du Shan said politely,

"If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight. We can't reform the old, let alone the new, we can't know how to make good use of people, we can't punish adultery and deal with evil, and we can't benefit the country and the people. Whose fault do you think it's all about? Liu Zewu also joined in asking: "Then according to what you say, what should I do?" Seeing that more and more people are paying attention to themselves, Du Shan smiled and said: "There is a good policy, there is a lower policy, which policy do you want to listen to?" He Lingchuan chosen: "Listen to the next policy first." Du Shan immediately shook the flask: "Hey, it's empty!" He Lingchuan smiled and raised his hand to beckon his buddy: "Five years Chen Qinxiangchun will come to an altar and give it to Brother Du!" The wine of the fragrant building is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the best and most famous is its self-brewed Qinxiang spring, which is said to be the spring snow of picking branches and the plum blossoms of the bag, which is fragrant and moisturizing.

Of course, the price is also much more expensive than the second and third grades. The price of Bejia is already expensive, and there are several layers of bUFF stacked here, and a five-year-old Qinxiangchun will cost five taels of silver.

Du Shan was also stunned, and gave a thumbs up: "Haoqi, are you?" ”

"My surname is He." Jiang Tao muttered in a low voice: "Brother He, Hu Tu Wow, this kid doesn't have any good tricks." "They are from the public, and there is no shortage of money at home, but they will not give five taels of good wine to strangers, just to listen to a decision.

He Lingchuan said in a low voice: "It's okay. "He's not going to be fine. When the wine came, Du Shan slapped the mud seal, sniffed the aroma of the wine at the mouth of the altar, and then poured himself a glass.

"The next strategy is to find some corrupt courtiers in the court from the beginning to punish and confiscate their homes, and enrich the treasury with the silver and wealth copied out, so that there will be no shortage of money in a short time." Du Shan took a sip of wine,

"The common people can't afford to scrape there, and it just so happens that the national beetle has also been fattened for so many years, so when will it not be slaughtered at this time?" He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "It sounds good, but why is it rarely used for national purposes?" "In the current situation of the Kite Kingdom, he didn't attack the courtiers.

"The roots are intertwined, there is jealousy, and I can't do it." Du Shan hehe,

"Actually, why is it useless? When the third demon king succeeded to the throne, he did not exempt the deficit of officials at all levels, but ordered to inspect the money and grain in various places, and make up the deficit within a time limit, otherwise it would be dealt with strictly. Within a few years, the money in the treasury was replenished. He didn't raid his house, but he did the same. Jiang Tao scratched his head: "Your statement is not wrong, but ......" does not play cards according to common sense, and does not say the principle of governing the world and the country.

Du Shan didn't even look at him: "Anyway, it's all a cupbearer, just gossiping for three glasses, what's the way you can't mention?" "Butler, discuss politics while drinking.

Isn't it just chewing on the root of the tongue? He Lingchuan said in a timely manner: "If the monarch could do it, he would have done it a few years earlier, would he have waited until now?" If it is necessary to arrest it temporarily, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be turbulent, let alone a problem. "The students present all know that in fact, the emperor can't do whatever he wants.

Courage and ability, some people are born with it, and some people can't stand it until they die.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Du Shan smiled again,

"So I have a good idea!" He Lingchuan already understood a little, but still said, "Please speak." ”

"Since the root is in the monarch, why not someone else?" Du Shan narrowed his eyes,

"The great and powerful live in it. Whoever can calm the chaos and the people will naturally be able to sit on that throne. Everyone cheered and laughed: "Du Shan's poisonous plan, sure enough, it's like this again!" ”

"The first knife of innovation, the backhand to destroy the king. Hahahaha! As soon as He Lingchuan heard this, he knew that Du Shan liked to go off the rails with swords, and it seemed that he was well-known in the academy.

If Sun Hongye is here, these two will probably cherish each other and become confidants, right? In the face of laughing at everyone, Du Shan'an Ruosu: "As a monarch, indecision is a taboo, the so-called 'heart is not ruthless, the position is not stable', and the common people are affected by their own strength, so why bother?" Besides, the monarch has not been able to strengthen the country and benefit the people for many years, so it can be seen that he cannot seek government in his position, and someone should replace him. ”

"When I say it, you laugh, thinking it's a fantasy, but in fact, it's all over the ages." He snorted,

"I ask you, is it important to have a society, or is it important to have a king?" He Lingchuan's eyes drooped slightly, and he remembered the great Sima of the Kite Kingdom, the New Year's Praise Ceremony, and even

"Holy Master" Hong Xiangqian. In fact, what they did was not as Du Shan said? Gao Jilin kept muttering, and suddenly said at this time: "The kite country is weak, there are secessions and uprisings, and the royal court will send troops to suppress it." Fighting a war is the most money-burning, and the army cannot afford to support it if it has no money, so the central government has to raise taxes on the people of the whole country. The tax burden was further increased, and the people were struggling to make a living, and they had to rebel and revolt...... In such a cycle, the decline of the country is probably one of the main reasons for the decline of the kite country. Du Shan patted the table and said, "Did you hear it, did you hear it?" This is the imminent problem of the kite country! Come, you continue. Gao Jilin smiled and continued: "The kite army lacks men and horses, money and food, in fact, in the final analysis, it is a lack of money. As long as there is money, people and horses can buy food and grass. The king's top priority is to get a large amount of foreign money as soon as possible. In this way, the poor will not revolt if they have a livelihood, the state will not have to levy taxes on military spending, and the circle above will be broken. As long as this persistence continues, and the national strength of the people is allowed to recuperate for a period of time, the country can be normal again. He added: "There are many reasons for the weakness of the kite country, and I will only choose to talk about one. Not long ago, the Kite Kingdom had just fought a battle of Handan with the general Xunzhou Munian, the Kite army was defeated one after another, and had to retreat to the Hanshui Danger. He used the Battle of Handshui to prove his point.

Everyone said: "It makes sense, but how do you get this money?" ”

"It's all exhausted, which means that all the methods that should be thought of have been thought of, where else can we get money?"

"It doesn't matter if you borrow, steal, or rob. Otherwise, the country will wait to collapse, and the king will wait to be beheaded. Du Shan bared his teeth,

"The two strategies I just said, don't they just correspond to what the senior brother said? punished the corrupt national beetle and confiscated the house, the people applauded, the royal court got the name and money, the word of mouth was good, and the money was there; On the other hand, if the king can't get the money, he deserves to fall and be replaced by someone who can do it to get the money. Zheng Zewu shook his head: "How can it be so easy?" The relationship between the royal court is often complicated......" Du Shan glared: "Don't do it if it's complicated?" Those who achieve great things can endure what others can't and can do. The country is about to die, and the monarch is still looking ahead and backwards, taboo! Jiang Tao scratched his head: "Only kill a few national beetles, I'm afraid the money won't be enough, right?" ”

"Then you can still steal and borrow, you can't tie your hands and feet." Du Shan smiled,

"Is this the time to be cheeky?" The others didn't even refute his point of view, but followed the train of thought and continued to talk and buzz.

Some of the tricks, He Lingchuan also felt unbelievable when he heard it, no, he was quite inspired. He has been so busy with his own tasks lately that he rarely thinks deeply about these big things.

These guys still have goods in their bellies. It wasn't until everyone's discussion gradually subsided that he asked Du Shan: "In Brother Du's opinion, should the system of a country be dedicated to God or to the king?" Du Shan took a little dried fish to chew, and said without thinking about it: "We are human beings, and of course the fate of human beings must be in the hands of human beings, is it possible to let the gods kill us alive and dead?" He Lingchuan smiled.

At this time, Gao Jilin suddenly said to He Lingchuan: "There are a few people over there who have been staring at Brother He, afraid that they have bad intentions. Do you want us to report to the police? "The security near Taixue is still very good, and the official office here must come out when the police are called.

Everyone followed his gaze, and sure enough, they saw a table of three or four people sitting by the door, all of them were strong men, as long as a pot of tea, staring at this place while drinking, as if their eyes were not good.

"Oh, no, no." He Lingchuan waved his hand again and again,

"You have your concern, but they were sent to keep me safe, not small." These are the Tongxin guards stationed in Pianxiang Villa, and today they travel with him in casual clothes, and they look like villains.

All the students were stunned.
