Dacang Palace, Zijin Pavilion.

Ji Guang sat in the pavilion, looking down at the folds on the table, his brows locked tightly.

Ge Xin stood beside him, looked at the folds, looked at Ji Guang, and was also a little fascinated.

Everyone in the world envies the Ninety-Five Supreme, and probably only she understands that the Ninety-Five Supreme also has troubles.

She understands Ji Guang's troubles because of a conversation between Ji Guang and her......

More than a month ago, she inadvertently asked a question: "Your Majesty, why don't you like to work in the Zhengde Palace, and prefer the Purple Gold Pavilion?" ”

This is a fact, as long as Your Majesty is not a great dynasty, he is basically in the Purple Gold Pavilion.

But no one dared to ask, and only Gexin dared to ask.

Ji Guang replied to her: "Because I am in the Purple Gold Pavilion, I can feel my father staring at me, so I don't dare to act recklessly!" ”

This answer moved Ge's heart.

As the Ninety-Five Supreme, her husband has already stood at the pinnacle of the entire Great Cang's power, and he is afraid of losing his heart.

How many emperors in the world have done things like punishing ministers and killing queen mothers in order to cut off the shackles? There is only Ji Guang, obviously there is no restraint, but he created a restraint by himself, and used the ethereal restraint of his father's spirit in the sky to alert himself.

Gexin didn't know how to evaluate it, but she was very pleased.

In the Purple Gold Pavilion, she saw Ji Guang's tightly knit brows countless times, because the current situation was very difficult......

To be precise, this difficulty is also self-inflicted......

If Ji Guang chooses the same way of governing as Ji Shang, if he can get by, he can fly in style, just as Lin Su said that day, we have to thank Ji Shang, he left such a mess, no matter how he tosses, it is better than him, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he is not worse than Ji Shang, he will probably govern better than Ji Shang.

However, Ji Guang is not a person who is willing to be lonely!

Lin Su too!

Therefore, after the Xishan meeting, the three major national policies were implemented simultaneously.

These three major national policies are a bottomless pit, and as soon as they are implemented, Ji Guang's head will be bigger......

"Your Majesty, one of your three major national policies is more difficult than the other, and His Royal Highness King Wen doesn't know where to go, so he won't come to help His Majesty share his worries......" Ge Xin couldn't bear to see Ji Guang worrying there.

At the mention of Lin Su, Ji Guang's face magically relaxed: "He, this time he ran really far, the secret guard just reported that he was in Guancheng in Fuzhou half a month ago." ”

"The Dark Guard reports directly to His Majesty?" Ge Xin frowned.

Ji Guang smiled lightly: "I arranged it, you are pregnant, so you should not work too hard, so, the matter of the secret guard, I asked them not to alarm the concubine." ”

Ge Xin shook his head lightly: "The concubines can ignore other things, but the matter of the secret guard is related to His Majesty's safety, how can I not care?" Your Majesty, this matter has to be taken over by the concubines. ”

"Good! It's all up to you! Ji Guang said: "The matter that the dark guard is focusing on now is the appointment of cloth clothes on Dongting Lake, this matter is quite unusual, you need to choose a capable general......"

At this moment, the voice of the good monarch outside came: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wen has arrived, and he has arrived outside the Zijin Pavilion." ”

Ji Guang's voice stopped abruptly, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared on his face: "This kid is back!" ”

Ge Xin chuckled: "Your Majesty, you can't take what the concubine says, the concubine doesn't dare to call His Royal Highness King Wen...... Disrespectful name. ”

"What's there? You're his sister-in-law! Ji Guang stood up and took a few steps to the edge of the Purple Gold Pavilion......

As soon as he arrived, Lin Su's dashing figure also arrived in front of him......

See ......

"Excuse me!" Ji Guang directly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Su's shoulder: "Come in!" ”

The eunuchs outside were all dumbfounded......

His Majesty is really different from King Wen, and he even omits a normal salute as much as possible.

As soon as Lin Su entered the Zijin Pavilion, he saw the heart of the pavilion, and the heart of the pavilion greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty also mentioned the prince just now, and the prince has already arrived in front of His Majesty before the words fall, you really have a good understanding." ”

Lin Su laughed: "What did you say about me?" ”

"Said you were still buried in the state half a month ago." Ji Guangshou together: "Brother, sit!" ”

"What about your news, you are well-informed when you say it, but you are not well-informed and not well-informed!" Lin Su smiled: "It's true that I was in Fuzhou half a month ago, but in the next half month, I walked a lot of places. ”

"Oh? Where are they? ”

"I entered the burial area, met the burial king, entered the temple, met the saint, arrived in the north, and traveled the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in the past, by the way, the king of Jin was drunk, and probably not fully awake now......"

Ji Guang was infinitely fascinated: "You don't tease me there, you tease me again, I will sit in this position for a few days one day, and I will travel the world on your behalf......"

Lin Su laughed: "Do you look like a monarch?" ”

"It's not like a king. Let me tell you, this throne is a bottomless pit......"

"What's wrong? Worried? Lin Su stared at him.

"Does this need to be asked?" Ji Guangchang sighed: "You had three national policies that day, and the policies were all troubles, and you asked me if I had troubles, so I asked you, is there a reason not to be troubled?" ”

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it, where's the trouble?"

Ji Guang hesitated for a moment: "I'd better let them come over, let's be in the Purple Gold Pavilion today, crush all the problems encountered by the three major national policies, and talk about it......"

About a quarter of an hour!

A bunch of people gathered in the Purple Gold Pavilion......

Prime Minister Zhou Zhang, University Scholar Zhang Juzheng, Dean of Bailu Academy Chen Geng, Zhang Haoran, Qiu Mochi, Li Yangxin, Huo Qi.

The row of bitter melons that they were struggling with on the line that day now together constitute the members of the Zijin Pavilion meeting. As soon as everyone saw Lin Su, they all smiled, and even Zhang Juzheng's face showed surprise.

Ge Xin hid, she only appeared in front of Lin Su, and when the rest of the important ministers arrived, she was not suitable to show her face.

Ji Guang said first, today's meeting is not a formal court meeting, everyone should not be restrained, and let go of all issues.

Zhang Haoran reported first......

He is the secretary of the military department, the implementation of the military reform, the military reform is relatively less difficult, the whole society emphasizes literature over military force, for the military, the ministers of the DPRK and China do not particularly attach great importance to the military, the increase in troops may have a backlash, but the army is streamlined, reduce expenditures, there is no reason to object.

Therefore, the military reform was directly passed at the general level.

However, in the actual implementation process, there are also considerable problems, the problems are mainly concentrated in two points, one is that some generals can not put down the position of commander-in-chief, and refuse to hand over military power, and some even reach the state where the contradiction is about to be stimulated, triggering a mutiny, in this case, His Majesty did not relent, and ordered to deal with several commanders, Li Xiaotian, Nanwang, Lin Zheng and other commanders said in the face of the whole army: If the army does not obey the orders of the military department, the Cangshan Legion, the Flying Dragon Legion, and the Blood Rain Pass Legion will be suppressed!

Under such iron-blooded pressure, the armies did not dare to act rashly, and the obstacles were cleared at the policy level, at least no one dared to oppose them openly.

The second problem is the only one, placement!

How to resettle tens of millions of soldiers, some of these people are disabled, some of their hometowns are gone, their land is gone, if they ignore it and directly exile them, then they may not be able to live.

After the first question was finished, Zhang Haoran's face was very serious: "Brother Lin, we are all people who have been on the battlefield, we all know the dedication and sacrifice made by the soldiers, you also begged for compensation for 30,000 heroic souls in the past, if you let them live on the streets like this, I believe you can't bear it." ”

He didn't ask His Majesty, because he knew His Majesty couldn't help it at all.

Lin Su said: "Dacang 20 million soldiers, at the moment a cut of 15 million outside, involving a wide range, as Brother Haoran said, they have been bleeding and sacrificing on the battlefield for generations, we can't let them shed blood and tears, every person who has been discharged from the army will be given enough placement expenses, disabled soldiers, and enough disability subsidies, those who have no home, we will give them a new home!" ”

Everyone looked at each other......

The dilemma raised by Zhang Haoran, he answered it cleanly in a few words, and it was more refreshing than Zhang Haoran, the secretary of the military department, but ......

"Brother Lin, the treasury is really out of money!" Huo Qidao.

Huo Qi, the left waiter of the household department, when he saw that the topic turned to the issue of money, he had a belly of resentment, your brother Lin waved his pen, the bereavement pension was sufficient, the resettlement fee was sufficient, and the disability was sufficient, this all costs money, the treasury is empty, what to give money?

You're roasting me on the fire.

All eyes were on Lin Su's face......

Lin Su smiled: "The treasury just has no money in front of you, but it doesn't mean that you will never have money, Brother Huo, what will happen if the people don't have money for a while?" ”

"Only by borrowing!" Huo Qidao.

"That's right, the people have no money to borrow, and the state can borrow if they have no money!" Lin Su said: "You can introduce a new concept called 'national debt'!" We have printed and issued a batch of treasury bonds, and agreed on a suitable interest rate, so that those who have money in the country can buy them spontaneously, and they can regard them as investments, and in the face of this group of soldiers who need to be resettled, they can also directly give them this treasury bonds, and they can use them to buy rice, noodles, and land, and no one is allowed to refuse to accept them! ”

Ji Guang's eyes lit up......

National debt?

New concept?

It seems...... It seems to work!

God testifies, he has grown up all this time, and the most worrying thing is money, if according to what Lin Su said, wouldn't the most difficult problem be solved?

Zhou Zhang's beard pulled desperately: "The dynasty borrows money from the people, this is ...... This seems a bit out of place. ”

"There is nothing unseemly, before the sages of the past, they all borrowed money to get by, as long as they admit the debt and repay the debt, repay the principal and interest, the old man thinks it is a new road!" Zhang Ju Zhengyan.

Chen Geng nodded: "The old man thinks that it is indeed a new road, the people deposit the silver into the money bank, the silver tickets issued by the money bank are popular all over the world, no one questions it, a country and a dynasty with the reputation of the dynasty as a guarantee, is it better than a money bank?" Treasury bonds should be harder than silver bills! ”

The two bigwigs are so certain, and everyone agrees!

"Everyone's agreed?" Lin Su said: "If you agree, then I have to talk in detail about the key points of this national debt...... First of all, it is necessary to control the total amount, and the total amount should not exceed the total harvest of tax revenue in one year, and it is not advisable to use it all at once, and ...... it in batches and installments."

Ji Guang frowned slightly: "Why is this?" ”

Lin Su said: "This involves a profound knowledge called economics, if the issuance of treasury bonds is too much, too intensive, it will cause the price of various goods in the market to soar, so we must be cautious on this issue, rather slower, never fast!" Remember, everyone! ”

Ji Guang nodded lightly: "Everything depends on you, you say, are there any other taboos?" ”

"The second key point of the national debt is anti-counterfeiting, at least a country's national debt, which has to be higher than the anti-counterfeiting technology of silver bills, right? If there are fakes, it will really hurt the people and the country. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, which can be assured, silver bills are popular all over the world and can be controlled, and a country's national debt can naturally be controlled.

There was no longer any objection to this, and the first problem was solved.

Lin Su's heart was pounding, I'm damn! I'm introducing the concept of money, and if the treasury bond is not signed, if it is liquid, it is basically no different from currency.

Many feudal dynasties have tried to do the currency thing, and most of the losers have failed, but it is purely because the rulers do not understand the economy and finance, as long as His Majesty and the people in the household department have more common sense about the economy, the concept of money can still be implemented.

Money, in the feudal dynasty, the role of the promotion is incomparable, as soon as this door opens, the whole society will come alive.

The issue of military reform was satisfactorily resolved, and Zhang Haoran jumped ...... excitedly

It also stimulated Li Yangxin, who is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his first priority at present is to grasp the farmland and water conservancy in various places......

He raised a question, his problem is the problem of efficiency, is there any good tools, can quickly promote the progress of cement production, farmland water conservancy transformation, only more than half a year away from the rainy season next year, he is worried that when the rainy season next year comes, the progress has not kept up, can not achieve his ambition to basically eliminate floods within a year.

When this question was raised, everyone looked at each other, shouldn't you ask the Ministry of Industry this question?

Ask him?

However, Lin Su had a pen in his hand and drew a few sketches casually......

"It's a wheelbarrow, and it's very simple to build, but it's at least three times more efficient than manpower when used on a construction site!"

"This is a conveyor belt, mainly used for mine extraction, although it is still human and animal power in nature, but the efficiency of transporting materials is at least ten times higher!"

"This is a waterwheel, Haining has been using it for more than two years, I don't seem to have used it everywhere, please, I Lin Suzhen don't have the idea of charging patent fees, you can use it if you can use it......"

"This is a mountain breaking hammer, in fact, there is no technical content at all, it is just a hammer, but this handle is soft, and the soft handle is used to smash stones, which is more powerful than a hard hammer."

"This is a crane, with this thing, an ordinary person can lift a thousand catties of boulders, Brother Li, don't look at me with this kind of eyes, you don't believe it or not, you have to try it first before ......"

Five sketches, Li Yangxin blinked his eyes, and was completely confused for a while......

"That's it! Let's talk about the hardest question! Lin Su clapped his hands......

The most difficult issue has always been the question of tax reform......

All of us here have made efforts on this issue......

Chen Geng talked about it in Bailu Academy, standing in a historical perspective, telling what kind of painful lessons there would be if you don't treat the people well, and this tax system is to treat the people well.

Zhang Juzheng discussed the Tao in Wenyuan Pavilion, his main focus is a feeling, Wendao, Holy Dao, Holy Dao, the way of helping the people, the literati have been respected by the whole people, and it is natural to become an example for the whole people, it is shameful to be a moth lying on the people to suck blood, and it is shameful to enjoy privileges and private interests.

What do they say?

It was a success!

The scene of the Taoist realm is blooming!

The literati sparked a wide range of discussions, and generally tended to agree.

However, the actual operation is a matter of another level......

There is a lot of resistance!

Most people are still profit-seeking, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality in their mouths, and their hearts are full of personal calculations.

They can persuade others to be high-spirited, but they have other thoughts when it is their turn.

Let them give up their privileges for many years, and take out real money to pay taxes, they are unwilling, so the bureaucrats in the capital have ideas, the bureaucrats in various places have ideas, the scholars have begun to have cynicism, and even a batch of poems have been published......

"The sky has the bones of hateful strategists, and the earth is silently surging undercurrents"!

These are the two lines of the poem that have been widely circulated, what do they mean?

Da Cangbiao is innovative, pointing the finger at the scholar class, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, don't think that the scholar is easy to bully, there are voices of opposition everywhere, and the undercurrent is surging all over the world!

Hearing these two lines of poetry coming out of Zhou Zhang's mouth, Ji Guang's brows furrowed again.

If the problem of money added a few wrinkles to his forehead, the matter of scholarly privilege was the reason why he had a few gray hairs.

Shinong industry and commerce are social strata.

Taxi is the first place.

Literature and Taoism are respected, and in this special world, literati are also destined to be an unprovoked group.

Tax reform directly refers to all kinds of privileges, and God testifies that privileged people are not to be provoked......

How to solve this set?

This is related to whether the vast world can truly maintain long-term peace and stability.

Gambling with all kinds of privileged people may be a fate that he can't escape in his life......

Lin Su held his chin in his hand and listened to everyone's words......

Finally, the audience was silent, and Lin Su slowly raised his head: "Since ancient times, revolution, it is easy to reform others, and it is difficult to reform yourself, but it is not incomprehensible!" ”

"You say!" Ji Guang was excited.

Lin Su said: "Scholars, who claim to be scholars, want privileges and are unwilling to assume social responsibilities, which is a violation of the holy word!" Let's first take a look at the definition of the scholar in the holy word: the scholar, the way of yin and yang through heaven and earth, moving the world is the way of the world, the world is the law of the world, and the world is the world! For the heavens to proclaim, the Tao is its own responsibility, forgetting one's own private body, and being the public instrument of the world...... How can a person who only knows selfish interests and forgets public interests be worthy of a scholar? ”

Zhang Juzheng slapped his palm on the table: "Well said!" For the heaven Xuanhua, the Tao is its own responsibility, forget one's own private body, as the world's public instrument, the party is also a scholar, this holy word of the old man immediately engraved the Taoist wall, in the name of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the correct solution of the scholar! ”

"Wonderful! In the name of the righteousness of the holy word, return the correct understanding of the corporal! This is the right move! Chen Geng said: "His Royal Highness King Wen should have a follow-up!" ”

Lin Su said: "After the main move, it should be a strange move...... In the face of tens of millions of scholars, we can introduce a new concept called 'Shipai'! ”

"What is a taxi card?"

"Based on this person's trip, Wen Yuan Pavilion will determine whether this person is a scholar or not! Those who meet the conditions of the taxi will engrave the 'Shi plate', which will be inlaid on the gate by the local government, and the ...... will be prominent in the township."

At the beginning of his interpretation, everyone looked at each other and frowned, but as his interpretation deepened, everyone's hearts were pounding......

No way!

This poison!

In the world, who doesn't yearn for the golden signboard of scholars?

The door is engraved with the taxi card recognized by Wenyuan Pavilion and inlaid by the government itself, which is the honor of ten miles and eight towns, and the faces of the people who live there are bright, and it is easier for the son to find a daughter-in-law.

This seems to be a reward and value for scholars, but in fact, the real learning is behind.

If you want to get recognition, you must abide by the holy word, you are selfish, you forget the public interest, you resist the tax law, you do bad things, you fish and meat country, you don't want to get this recognition......

In this way, the corporal of the world must obey the law!

Not even just obeying the law, he has to win the reputation of the people and the local government!

Of course, word-of-mouth can be whitewashed and deceived, but as long as there is such a restriction on the heads of scholars, they will converge a lot, and they will always have to do a lot of performance work, and if they show more, the truth and falsehood are probably not so important.

Therefore, this one card is a plan to make a heart!

It is aimed at the sense of honor of the scholars!

Scholars relied on special status to obtain privileges, and now, they also need to pay the price for special status.

This is called the way of the other, and the body of the other!

This is called wanting to wear a crown, bear its weight first!

Zhang Haoran laughed: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wen's policy, I don't know if Your Majesty agrees, at least Weichen is so impressed that he throws himself to the ground!" ”

Ji Guang also laughed: "Did you confirm a legend today?" Is there really no problem in the world that King Wen can't solve? ”

Hahahaha......

Everyone laughed......

In the Purple Gold Pavilion, the portraits of the former emperors were also blowing in the wind, and it seemed that they also sensed their joy......

"All Aiqing, go down, according to the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Wen, fully implemented!" Ji Guangdao.

Everyone knelt down in unison and took leave......

Lin Su got up to see him off, and after everyone left, he sat back again......

"Now it's time to talk about something else!" Ji Guangdao: "You used to fall on the chessboard, is it time to lift the lid now?" ”

Lin Su smiled: "It's here!" You can go to White Deer Academy right now! ”

Ji Guang didn't say it explicitly, and Lin Su didn't say it explicitly, but they both knew each other.

The incident they mentioned was the collective exile of high-ranking officials of the court, including Prime Minister Lu Tiancong and the Six Shangshu, to the State Hall on that day.

The banishment of the State Hall is just a son that fell on Lin Su's chessboard.

Nor are they banished.

The purpose of this piece is to fish!

These high-ranking officials in the court are very fragrant bait!

If there are extraterritorial forces, if there are separatist forces in the Great Cang who plan to make a difference, these high-ranking officials of the court will definitely become their targets, because they used to be in a high position, in fact, they are still in a high position at the moment - a first-class and second-class senior member, a member of the State Hall! The emperor will consult them with them when he has important matters, you see, what kind of status is this? Of course, whether the emperor actually consulted with them or not, and whether there was a reality of "not asking" was not considered.

They are valuable resources in their own right.

Each of them has a lot of resources at their disposal.

These things are coveted by all forces, and these forces can read the meaning of putting them in the state hall, and they can also read their sky-high complaints!

A group of people who are angry with the current dynasty and have great use value, how can they be willing if they don't use it?

Therefore, whether it is Ji Guang or Lin Su, they all have a basic judgment, those people from the outside world will definitely come to them!

Ji Guang's idea at that time was: send secret guards to monitor.

Lin Su vetoed!

No matter how much you monitor, you can't prevent pervasive infiltration, but it will startle the snake.

It's better to be generous and not monitor at all!

Just let them open the box and shake it violently!

Anyway, the more pleasing they are to the eye, the more they will gain when the net is closed!

Today is the time to close the net!
