forced the reader to scold his mother, it can be seen that Li Kui's "Zhiping Policy", when it comes to Li Qingchen's pain points, he has been forced into a desperate situation, and Li Qingchen has absolutely no way to crack it.

Not only did he not have it, but even with Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others, there was no way to crack it. The population problem, in the feudal era when agriculture was relatively backward, was definitely a terminal proposition. No one will be able to solve such a problem.

China's grain output increased from more than 200 catties in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to more than 200 catties in the Great Song Dynasty, and the land did not bring more returns to the industrious Chinese people. In fact, it took 2,500 years for Huaxia's field production to leap from 200 catties to 400 catties. The Great Song Dynasty could not solve the food security problem caused by the population explosion.

This problem could not be solved, but the emperors and important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty understood a truth, the people did not have enough to eat, and they should rebel.

The population problem, once thrown out, is definitely the king of this era, and no one can solve it. Because the wealth of the world is certain, after the population increases, the dividends brought by these demographic taxes and forced labor have doubled the tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty. The people's income has not increased, but the burden has at least doubled.

Wang Anshi's resurrection can't be solved.

The total number of people in the Great Song Dynasty was more than 45 million yuan.

It's almost the same as the annual tax payment in the early Song Dynasty of Renzong, if this money is distributed to the rich, how many rich families in the world will be ruined?

Of course, solving the population problem is also simple, just get the dead point.

But 10,000,000 people, 10 million killed, and 90 million!

Li Qingchen thought with a desperate face, what kind of effort is he still trying to change the law, this is not a problem that can be solved by changing the law at all. Even if Sage Confucius is resurrected, in the face of the vast population of the Great Song Dynasty, he can only stare dryly.

It can't be solved by changing the law.

Immutability dies faster.

Li Qingchen sat on wax.

The population problem is the foundation of the law change from keeping up!

He was even angry at the blind scholar who wrote such a horrific essay in the palace examination. But Li Qingchen's heart told him that this possibility completely existed, and it was not speculation, and it would explode one day. This is going to be fatal, he finally set up a situation to deal with Su Zhe, and he was already ready to close the net, but he made a fuss, he raised his eyes and looked at Su Zhe angrily, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Treacherous villain, use off-board tricks?" ”

Li Qingchen could only think that this must be Su Zhe's trick, and deliberately dug a pit to make him jump.

Su Zhe is still wondering?

Why did Li Qingchen take the examination paper of the tribute and was stunned, as if he wanted to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and tore the paper in public.

Could it be that his nephew scolded him at the palace exam?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he felt that he must not let Li Qingchen take the lead. Deciding to take the initiative, Su Zhe stood up and walked in front of Li Qingchen, and said calmly: "Chief examiner, whether it is difficult to judge, this official can help one or two." ”

Li Qingchen's eyes were green, and he sneered at Su Zhe: "Ziyou, good means, Qingchen is not unjustly defeated." ”

Su Zhe was stunned, he hasn't used his strength yet, so you can't do it? No, he didn't come up with thunderous means to deal with Li Qingchen, why did this political enemy who wanted to kill him admit defeat?

Could it be that his personality charm influenced the other party, or did this guy eat bibimbap just now, blocked his mind, and began to talk nonsense?

As for the level of his nephew Su Guo, Su Zhe knows very well that the article can be written to the extent that it is stable, but it is not sharp enough. This is due to Su Guo's personality and cannot be changed. Su Zhe stretched out his hand and pulled the roll in Li Qingchen's hand, Li Qingchen gritted his teeth and did not let go, Su Zhe was worried that he would tear up the roll, so he didn't dare to use all his strength, gritted his back molars and said, "Let go." ”

"You can't read this volume, please decide on it."

"It's better to let Your Majesty take a look!"

Su Zhe couldn't trust Zhang Dian at all, there were many people who wanted to kill him in the court, and Zhang Dian happened to be the most jubilant one among them, and he was not at ease with Zhang Den.

Zhao Xu blinked his eyes for a while, a little overwhelmed, a good palace test, shouldn't it be a peaceful atmosphere, the scholars are competing to praise the emperor, that is, himself, with the merits of the first emperor? After all, the topic of the palace examination has restricted the performance of the tributes, which is originally a position topic.

Even if the conservatives want to maintain decency, they can only say that the people who implement the changes are not effective, and the emperor is very dedicated. It's like Su Guo's strategy, which says that the executor is not capable enough to turn the emperor's beautiful vision into the beautiful vision of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the reform has no foundation in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many opponents, so it is destined to have no possibility of success.

This is already the ultimate that the Yuanyou Party can do, what else can it do?

Next, it should be the tributes who can carry it clearly, know what the emperor wants to hear, what kind of articles he sees, and then follow the emperor's wishes to write articles criticizing the Yuanyou Party and touting the good changes to the law. The Yuanyou party was completely nailed to the pillar of shame of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will never be able to turn over. But why, as Li Qingchen's chief examiner, because of a candidate's strategy, is so extreme?

Zhao Xu took the test paper, his brows tightened, and he had a vague name, which was very bad.

He was the emperor, and he couldn't break the rules, so he read the transcript. In the first few sentences, Zhao Xu was like a spring breeze, this scholar still had a little vision, knowing that it was not easy for the first emperor, and he handled the government conscientiously, but in the end he died of exhaustion in the court. But reading and reading, Zhao Xu's face froze.

This is not at all a policy that is based on the style of touting the reform of the law, nor is it a policy of criticizing the reformers and conservatives. This is a seemingly superficial policy on the population issue.

At first, Zhao Xu felt that the title of "Zhiping Chapter" was a bit of a fuss.

The world is peaceful, where is the truth that a tribute who has no official experience can see through?

But with the emergence of a series of data, Zhao Xu became nervous. looked up at Li Qingchen and asked, "Li Aiqing, is this article true?" ”

In broad daylight, it is definitely unrealistic to let Li Qingchen talk nonsense with his eyes open. What's more, there is also a Su Zhe on the side, and when Su Zhe reads this "Zhiping Chapter", he will definitely pick on him, and it is better to tell the truth. But it was really difficult for him to say this in front of everyone, so he had to nod.

Indicates that the data is mostly true.

The prosperity of a dynasty comes from the increase in population, and the fall of a dynasty will also be an increase in population.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Song Dynasty has been building water conservancy, reclaiming wasteland, and sending agricultural officials to supervise the people in planting. But a lot of the land that has been reclaimed does not produce much. As the population continues to increase, the people will eventually be left without food. This situation cannot be broken by the reformers, nor can the conservatives.

And the emperor, Zhao Xu was about to cry anxiously, he knew that the palace examination would encounter such a thorny problem, why did he think about presiding over the palace examination before?

Isn't this a pit yourself?

The emperor won't scold his mother, but he also wants to arrest this soulless scholar who pierces the sky, and question him well, he was originally safe and sound, and pretended not to see it, isn't it?

Why piercing?

Zhao Xu even felt that he would spend the years to come.

After all, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty changed dynasties and could still be officials. However, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty changed dynasties, and there was only one way to die.

And when the people couldn't even eat enough, it was the time when the Great Song Dynasty fell. Maybe it's a natural disaster, maybe it's a man-made disaster.

Zhang Dian angrily slapped the volume on the bookcase, and what was even more annoying was that this "Zhiping Chapter" had no strategy at all, and said the result after the population explosion, but there was no solution, and he hurriedly wrote an ending. He said nonchalantly: "The Great Song Dynasty should learn from it!" ”

The broken context is so infuriating, and Zhang's jealous and hateful personality makes him angry, and he can't wait to pull out this soul and kick it to death.

Pitters!

Even the good-natured Fan Chunren blew his beard angrily and glared at him, and said in his heart: "Do you want to resign!" Now these new science and technology scholars are becoming more and more difficult to discipline! ”

Su Zhe also read the volume, according to his heart, he should be happy. Li Qingchen pretentiously presided over the imperial examination in the first year of Shaosheng, but the ending is likely to become a laughing stock.

There is a candidate who can't even be judged by the examiner, how else can this examiner do?

Li Qingchen knew that he could not continue to inaction, so he resolutely implored the emperor: "Your Majesty please make a special order to open this volume." ”

"Transcription is the basis of fairness in the imperial examination, and no exception should be made. As soon as this example is opened, will the imperial examination still be fair in the future? Although Su Zhe doesn't necessarily know the truth of beating the water dog, he has no shortage of similar means.

Li Qingchen pleaded again: "Your Majesty, this son is a demon to confuse the public, and I implore Your Majesty to depose this son to set an example?" ”

"The ancestral system of benevolence, you can break it if you want to? Besides, what this scholar said also makes sense, the examiner should not decide the fate of a scholar based on personal preferences. ”

Su Zhe continued to die, anyway, he had already planned to confront Li Qingchen head-on, and he didn't care about timing. Anyway, the timing will only become more and more unfavorable for the Yuanyou party, and there is no possibility of a turnaround at all.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Qingchen was sweating profusely, although Zhang Dian felt that Li Qingchen was disobedient, he still had to help his own people at this time. He finally spoke: "If this son can write such an article, there must be a perfect solution, it is better for Your Majesty to summon this person into the palace and inquire carefully." ”

"So how will the ranking be decided?" Su Zhe was naturally reluctant to let such an interesting little guy fall, even if the emperor pinched his nose for a while and recognized the arrogant words of this new science and technology scholar, and then never appointed an official position, this was not in line with his wishes. He felt that he should be protected, this unmasked new Kogon.

"What about giving him a ranking?" Zhang Dian didn't care and said: "He can see that the theory of population is related to the fortunes of the country, it is enough to see that this person has extraordinary insights, and the high-ranking official Houlu and my Great Song Dynasty have never criticized the world's scholars." Within the top three, let him choose. ”

Compared with others, Zhang Dan is much more decisive. He didn't give Su Zhe a chance to continue pestering at all, and decisively blocked Su Zhe's tongue.

"Tear up the name." Emperor Zhao Xu also knew at this time that he couldn't back down, if he really ruined the scroll, it would be clean. But if the problem is not solved, it is still a heart disease.

In the inner hall, the eunuch Hao Sui brought scissors, twisted the paste of the roll, and exclaimed: "It's Li Kui!" ”

He was half shocked, half angry, this black guy was his father-in-law's enemy!
