Wang Wen suddenly said a sentence and turned to the meridian law.

"Li Angying, let me ask you, how many hidden fields do you have?"

Li Angying is full of scholars, eunuchs. Great-grandfather Li Xianzhiguan to Chengfeng doctor, and father Li Tianqi official to Longtu Pavilion to be systematized. It is not surprising that there are a large number of hidden fields in the proper official eunuch family.

"To tell you the truth, it's about forty or fifty acres."

Li Angying's face was red, but he still told him calmly.

It is only natural to farm and pay taxes. The Li family hid a large amount of hidden land and evaded taxes, and he also felt ashamed, but these taxes nourished the Li clan.

"A family of forty or fifty acres, how many are the hundreds of thousands of my Great Song Dynasty eunuchs, and how many hidden fields are there? Let's just say that your Ma Guangzu's mentor Zhende Xiu is the true public, and the hidden field under his name is probably more than forty or fifty acres, right? The world-famous scholars and doctors, one by one, pretending to be deaf and dumb, changing the law to evade taxes, how can they make the Son of Heaven feel at ease? How did the Son of Heaven believe in the scholars? ”

Wang Wen looked at the embarrassed two and smiled coldly.

"Therefore, this meridian law and anti-corruption department are aimed at Haoqiang and scholars. Last year, Jiangnan East Road implemented a new policy, and the Jiankang Mansion was sentenced, and a member of the imperial court was also punished by the Ming Dynasty, and more than 100 officials were disposed of. This year, Sichuan Lufu implemented a new policy, and a number of Sichuan Road traitors, such as An Gongxing, Pu Hong and others, have been corrected. Now it is the governor Hu Yufu who participates in political affairs. Do you think the New Deal is aimed at these corrupt officials? ”

The corruption of the government was carried out by the scholars and doctors headed by Shi Miyuan. The clear stream is turbid, they are all raccoon dogs, and the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother.

"That's true. Compared with Hu Yu, Pu Hong, and An Gongxing, Gu Songke is dwarfed. However, Brother Wang, what you said is biased, and the foolish brother does not dare to agree. ”

Ma Guangzu shook his head, but he disagreed with Wang Wen's opinion.

"As an official of the imperial court, he should abide by the law, be diligent and love the people. If you have a clear conscience, how can the Son of Heaven be embarrassed? Cui He was replaced by Shi Miyuan for no reason, and the new emperor ascended the throne, immediately removed Zheng Zheng, and let Cui Xianggong return to Sichuan to govern. It can be seen that whether it is a virtuous or a traitor, the emperor has his own decision, and he will never just do it against scholars. ”

Ma Guangzu is young and vigorous, ambitious, and has not been washed by the turbidity of officialdom, so he is justifiable.

"What Brother Ma said is very true. To say that the emperor targeted the scholars, he also targeted the scum among the scholars. Scholars cultivate themselves and rule the country and the world, scum like Hu Yu, Pu Hong, An Gongxing, and Gu Song have lost the face of scholars, if they are not severely punished, heaven will not tolerate it! ”

Li Angying was impassioned and said loudly.

He is a disciple of Cui He, who takes his teacher as an example everywhere, and also scorns officials for being greedy for ink.

"Having said that, Hu Yu is the governor of the government and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, An Gongxing is the Tongchuan Fu Road transfer envoy, and Pu Hong is the Kuizhou Road pacification envoy, all three of whom are important ministers of the state. The emperor sentenced them to the canonical punishment of the Ming Dynasty and beheaded them in the East City. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, with the respect of scholars and doctors, can there be those who have been sentenced to death? ”

Wang Wen still insists on his own point of view.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean?"

Ma Guangzu asked suspiciously.

Wang Wen said that in addition to wanting to rise to the top, it seems that he is praising the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and belittling the scholars.

"Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, living in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, the monarch's power is declining, and the power is dominant, otherwise there would be no Shi Miyuan's abolition of the prince. If the emperor wants to be better than the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, of course he will not let the scholars control the government. When I say this, do you two brothers understand? ”

Wang Wen's words made Ma Guangzu and both of them nod their heads, and they immediately understood.

The Great Song Dynasty wants to prosper, how can it be achieved without a strong emperor?

"Brother Wang, when today's Ziwen Taowu is a genius. Under the strengthening of imperial power, scholars are much worse than before. ”

There was a hint of helplessness in Ma Guangzu's tone.

In the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world together. In the future, I am afraid that it will be arbitrary, and the monarch will be mighty.

"The world of the Great Song Dynasty is the world of the Zhao and Song royal families, why did the king and the scholars rule together? In the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties, can there be a king and a scholar to rule together? In all dynasties, can there be courtiers who are so strong that they can be above the king? For example, the treacherous minister Shi Miyuan, who was mad, dared to overhaul the crown prince and set up a new monarch, how strong is this? The emperor's move to suppress scholars and doctors and promote military generals is probably going to continue. ”

Wang Wen talked eloquently, but he had a different opinion.

"Brother Wang, in your opinion, the emperor wants to belittle the imperial examination and replace it with the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall?"

After a moment of silence, Li Anyang asked with a frown.

The Great Song Dynasty, which founded the country with Confucianism, if it really canceled the imperial examination, wouldn't it be deviant and change the court's program?

killed several scholars and doctors in a row, and this dynasty has already changed beyond recognition.

"It may not be canceled, maybe what the emperor needs is a balance, and he doesn't want to make the scholar so strong enough to control the court."

Ma Guangzu frowned and took over the topic.

Shi Miyuan's dictatorship, the emperor was like a puppet, which gave the Song Dynasty court an extremely bad start, and also made the emperor of the current dynasty deeply disgusted, and he never wanted to see the situation of scholars controlling the government again.

"The situation in the Great Song Dynasty is now troubled internally and externally, just as the "Tatar Policy" and the "China Daily" said, there are Tatars on the plateau who are fierce outside, and there are corrupt officials inside, land annexation, and soaring prices. The emperor wants to clarify the rule of officials, how can he not crack down on corrupt officials. If we don't run a martial arts hall and reorganize our armaments, how can we resist foreign enemies? The emperor is far-sighted and painstaking, how can ordinary ordinary people understand? ”

Pity the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestor, the emperor's ambition is great, to be a generation of Tianjiao, it is impossible to be conservative and do nothing. Those obstacles on the road to the New Deal will be ruthlessly removed.

"In short, since the implementation of the new policy, it is gratifying. It is said that Jiangnan East Road, the officials rule Qingming, the people do not have harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the local government builds water conservancy and roads, businessmen gather, all industries are prosperous, and Jinling City is changing with each passing day. People who have been there say that Jinling City is more lively and prosperous than Lin'an City. The benefits of the New Deal can be seen. ”

Li Angying said excitedly, and his voice was much louder.

Following the success of the imperial court's implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road, it was popularized to Sichuan Road, Liangzhejiang Road, and Jiangnan West Road, several places where the new policy was implemented, with a population of more than half of the total population of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were more important places under the feet of the Son of Heaven and the border jams.

The future prospects of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be exciting.

Wang Wen looked at the mountains in the distance and withdrew his gaze.

"Two virtuous brothers, the emperor spends half of the year in Jinling, you say, is the emperor planning to move the capital?"

Although they have slightly different views on the New Deal, the New Deal benefits the country and the people, which is their consensus and the foundation for the three to understand each other.

"Brother Wang, it is impossible to move the capital to Jinling!"

Ma Guangzu shook his head and said categorically.

This time, it was he who denied Wang Wen's view.

"Brother Xian, why is this?"

Wang Wen couldn't help but ask.

Li Angying also raised his head and looked at Ma Guangzu, wanting to hear his explanation.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only the remnants are reckless, up and down the big river, and suddenly lost and surging. The poem sees its ambition, the emperor's choice, will it be in Yanjing?

Li Angying's body unconsciously had a layer of goosebumps.

"Jinling is in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the emperor wants to move the capital, he will be in Kaifeng or Yanjing. Besides, the palace of Jinling has been rebuilt into a martial arts hall, and if the emperor moves the capital, it is impossible to demolish the main hall of the Jinling palace. In that case, wouldn't it be necessary to rebuild the people and money? This is not what the Son of Today is doing. ”

Wouldn't it be redundant to tear down and build a new one?

The emperor advocated frugality, and the concubines in the palace were all ordinary clothes, not gorgeous clothes, it was impossible to do such a childish thing.
