"okay."
"I will help you handle the matters at Jixia Academy. You don't have to worry or think too much."
"If it doesn't work in three months, I'll help you delay it for half a year."
"Now that the battle for fate is happening, all the university factions are actually waiting. They don't want to start so soon. They all want to prepare well. If I come forward and ask for a three-month delay, I think these people will agree."
"Jin Nian, I don't expect you to obtain two destiny seals in Jixia Academy, but at least one must be obtained. Furthermore, it is time for you to understand the school."
"If you don't join the school, you will suffer big losses in future struggles."
"Just like this time you are fighting against Buddhism, do you know why no one from Confucianism or Taoism came out to help you?"
Su Wenjing spoke softly and mentioned this matter.
"Just because you didn't join the school?"
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly.
"kindness."
"Jinnian, as a saint of later generations of Confucianism and Taoism, you were appointed by Confucius and recognized by everyone in the world. However, this recognition only recognizes that you have this talent. Many people appreciate you, if you were not in Daxia Academy."
"Since Confucius passed away, many people will visit you in person, not to accept you as a disciple, but to draw you into these schools of thought."
"Confucianism and Taoism are actually divided into two worlds. For scholars who have just studied poetry, poetry, songs, and gorgeous articles are the first. They are regarded as leisure entertainment and a means of quickly becoming famous."
"The real Confucianism and Taoism is a dispute between schools, that is, academics. The purpose of their discussion is the direction of Confucianism and Taoism."
"This group of talents are the real big names in Confucianism and Taoism. Not only are they in the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, but the most important thing is their power and background. They may be old, seventy or eighty years old, and seem to have no role, but their disciples are all over the world."
"Actually, after all is said and done, you were too ruthless and directly summoned Kong Sheng from the Confucius Mansion. Otherwise, according to the contradiction at the time, you could really see the methods of the Confucius Mansion."
"The methods used by the Confucius family are definitely not as simple as letting scholars scold you. To be honest, it is the Confucius family's unlucky fate."
When Su Wenjing mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but mention the Confucius Mansion.
Nothing else.
Who is the strongest force in Confucianism and Taoism? Isn’t it Confucius?
As a result, such a powerful force was eliminated by Gu Jinnian with one move. To put it bluntly, if anyone dared to say before Gu Jinnian summoned Confucius that he could suppress the Confucius family, scholars all over the world would laugh at him.
Because the Confucius Mansion is a giant.
Daxia Kong Mansion is the main mansion, a huge treasure ship, and the branches are treasure ships locked together, sailing in the ocean, extremely powerful.
One hair move affects the whole body.
In addition, everyone in the Confucius family will make friends and recruit disciples. The connections accumulated over thousands of years are simply unimaginable.
It is true that many people dislike and look down upon Confucius, but so what?
Most of the people are lay people. How many scholars can withstand the recruitment of Confucius?
Suppose you are a disciple of a poor family, you have good qualifications, and you are selected as a candidate. If at this time, someone from the Confucius family appears and asks you if you want to join his family? How would you choose?
Choose to refuse? What can be guaranteed is that those who are not ranked as good as you will go to various places to become officials, while you are still in Kyoto, waiting for candidates, and writing books and history in the University Hall.
This position has always been vacant, especially since Emperor Yongsheng wanted to build the Yongsheng Ceremony, and there was already a shortage of people. If you are dissatisfied and complain to the emperor, you will not be reused just because of your overstepping of authority.
So no matter how talented you are, if you are not used, what can you do?
How many times do you have the chance to turn around in your life?
And if you choose to agree to join the other party's family, a county magistrate will be arranged for you immediately. Don't underestimate this magistrate. In a rural area, you are the boss, and whatever you say will be done.
You can use your talents, of course, you can also choose to lie down, make money and enjoy yourself. If something happens to you, as long as the matter is not serious, Kongfu will help you solve it.
Nothing happened to you, and you even achieved political achievements. The Confucius government helped you get promoted, but what are the conditions for getting promoted?
It means that you can never leave Confucius Mansion. Confucius Mansion can let you go up and down.
When you are in your sixtieth year, you become a minister, or become a minister of the six departments. Your son, your family, and everything about you have a great relationship with the Confucius family.
At this moment, there is a person who offends the Confucius family. This person happens to be your subordinate's subordinate. What will you do?
Directly remove him from office?
No.
If you have some conscience, you will let him do a sinecure and let him spend his life in vain.
If you have no conscience, and you give him an extremely difficult task to do, and he can't do it well, you will dismiss him as a matter of course, and even refer to your copy in front of the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, no matter what the process is, you didn't do it.
Good thing, that's your problem.
If you do a good job, it will be an unexpected surprise. I will take your work as your own merit and reward you with a month's salary later.
Then I will give you a half-level promotion and give you a difficult task. If you can handle everything well, you will be beautiful and extremely talented.
Then thank you. When he becomes prime minister, he will definitely promote you to wailang.
Is it interesting enough?
What? You haven't done something well? Then go home.
get out.
This is what is terrifying about Confucianism, and it can also be said to be terrifying about Confucianism.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be forces and struggles.
It's a pity that the arrogant Kong family was burned down by Gu Jinnian with a fire.
So Su Wenjing knew that in Gu Jinnian's mind, the Kong family was just like that. The strongest force had been wiped out by him, so what did the other Confucian and Taoist forces count?
But in fact, what Su Wenjing wants to remind Gu Jinnian now is that it was not Gu Jinnian who destroyed the Kong family, but Kong Sheng.
The first saint between heaven and earth.
This is an invincible existence. Only this kind of existence can easily destroy the Kong family. It was not destroyed by you Gu Jinnian, nor was it destroyed by the Daxia Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, even if all the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory take action together, they may not be able to affect the Kong family.
Because the Zhongzhou Dynasty also needs the Kong family, the value of the Kong family is a treasure level for politics.
Even if Gu Jinnian had summoned a second-generation saint during the time of the Confucius family, he might not have been able to hit the Confucius family like this.
Only Kong Sheng.
The ancestors of the Confucius family personally suppressed the Confucius family, which resulted in the fact that the Confucius family had no power to backhand, and could not have any power to backhand. If they really dared to backhand, that would be to bully their master and destroy their ancestors.
"gentlemen."
"How many schools of Confucianism and Taoism are there now?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"It used to be four, now it's three."
Su Wenjing gave the answer.
"The Kong family used to be number one, and the way of Confucius and Saints was the highest, but now you have suppressed them."
"The second is the lineage of Zhu Xue. This school is so great that even the Confucian family has to be wary of it. The idea of the lineage of Zhu Xue is to preserve natural principles and destroy human desires. It requires scholars to be strict with themselves and be cautious in every move they make.
"Every word and every word must be imitated by the saints. There are many people in this lineage."
"There were many great Confucian scholars in the Confucian family before, and they all respected Zhu Xue's teachings."
Su Wenjing introduced the first school of thought.
Putting aside the things that everyone must learn from Confucius and Saints, Zhu Xue is the well-deserved first school at present.
"Is it possible to preserve heaven's principles and destroy human desires?"
Gu Jinnian was a bit speechless. He didn't expect that this kind of scholarship existed in this world.
But after thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Confucius is a man of etiquette, and learning is a cycle of reincarnation. Hundreds and thousands of years, this kind of thinking will definitely occur.
Maintaining the principles of nature and destroying human desires is very complicated to talk about. To describe it in the simplest terms, it is to learn from the saints everywhere, put morality first, and learn from the saints no matter what you do.
In fact, there is not much problem with this idea, but it can't stop someone from messing around. The most common thing is that they ask you to learn from the saints, but you haven't done it yourself, but this doesn't stop you from criticizing you.
This is okay, they are just criticizing you, finding faults, and damaging your reputation.
The most frightening thing is that if you learn from the saints everywhere, it becomes a situation of "learning" for the sake of learning, and you lose your original intention.
However, this school of thought has the largest number of people, and Gu Jinnian can probably understand it.
There is no other reason. After all, no matter what I do when I go out, I am imitating the saints and being invincible.
It is very possible that none of the saints have ever done this. After all, who knows what the five saints have done in their lives?
Besides, no matter whether the saint has done it or not, when I need the saint to do it, then the saint must have done it.
It's very similar to the classic saying, I have a friend.
"What about third?"
Gu Jinnian asked, he was not very interested in Zhu Xue, he was himself, why should he imitate the saint?
"The third is Mingxue, which is derived from the knowledge of the second saint. It requires scholars to be wise and polite. Don't think about this. Mingxue has some opinions about you. They don't like to argue, but like to obey God's will.
, pay attention to etiquette, the main core is to nourish yourself."
Su Wenjing said this.
Mingxue Gu Jinnian didn’t know much about it, but he had heard about it.
It's etiquette.
Yang Kai is half a student of Ming Xue.
"Sir, Mingxue seemed to be the mainstream in the early years, right?"
Gu Jinnian remembered something.
"Well, it was the mainstream two thousand years ago, and scholars all over the world respected Mingxue. Later, after the emergence of military strategists, Mingxue fell into decline."
Su Wen nodded.
And Gu Jinnian suddenly realized that it was exactly what he thought.
Two thousand years ago, the Ming Dynasty was indeed the mainstream in the world. It was wise and reasonable. Big countries should also be reasonable and give priority to etiquette.
At that time, when a war broke out, the envoys from the two countries had to show humility to each other on the battlefield, and then everyone fought according to the procedures. If the other side suffered heavy losses and retreated, they had to stop.
They even had to send some supplies there to avoid problems with the other party.
Later, when military strategists came out, they started fighting without following any rules. They took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and used deception, sneak attacks, fire attacks, and sieges. Anyway, they used any means to win.
It is precisely because of this that many countries that respected Mingxue perished. Over time, the kings of various countries saw this.
This knowledge is killing people. It's okay if everyone is reasonable, but if you encounter someone who is unreasonable, you can't play.
And there is nothing you can do. You unite everyone to condemn him, and then he feels very sad. Otherwise, if everyone blames himself, he simply kills everyone together, so that no one will criticize him.
Therefore, Mingxue fell into decline in an instant, but with the advent of the prosperous age, Mingxue returned to the mainstream. Of course, this time it was an improved version of Mingxue, with etiquette among scholars and respect for teachers.
The Lord of Heaven and Earth, the Prince, the Master, is the core of Mingxue, which perfectly meets the political needs, so Mingxue is promoted again. Of course, the military strategists still ignore it, but they will bring it out when needed. When not, no one will pay attention to it.
"What about fourth?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
"The fourth is to take the Confucianism of the last sage as the main body, call it Guoxue, and become an official to benefit the people."
Su Wenjing gave an explanation.
Gu Jinnian understands this.
This is the mainstream trend in all the major dynasties at present. No matter how knowledgeable a person is, his ability is limited after all. This ability mainly depends on his status.
If a scholar becomes a master, even if he teaches a hundred students and gives lessons every three years, he will only have 2,000 students after a lifetime of sixty years.
And most of these two thousand students can only stop at the stage of literacy.
There are at most two hundred people who can truly understand the truth, and there are only twenty or thirty people who can become serious readers and enter the realm of Confucianism and Taoism. And then these twenty or thirty people can truly sacrifice themselves to preach and learn karma and resolve doubts.
How many can there be?
So if you become an official and solve problems for the court, firstly, you become an official, which can be regarded as an achievement, and you can honor your ancestors. Secondly, the higher your status, one thought or idea can change the fate of countless people. This is the real success.
Benefit the common people.
Chinese studies ranked fourth, which is actually reasonable.
The first is the learning of Confucius, the first sage in the world. Everything in Confucianism and Taoism is based on Confucius. Naturally, no matter how the changes in later generations can be compared to the learning of Confucius, even if it really surpasses it, scholars must
Pay attention to courtesy and humility.
Zhu Xue and Ming Xue are both spiritual knowledge. After all, Guoxue still has interests in it, so ranking fourth is more reasonable and can be regarded as a kind of balance.
But Gu Jinnian knew very well that Chinese studies must be ranked first, because nine out of ten scholars want to be officials. This is human nature.
"Sir, besides these four, are there any others?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"Yes, but other schools of thought have more or less problems. For example, there are various Zongheng studies and Yin-Yang studies that came out in the past few years, but none of them have been recognized by Jixia Academy."
"Jin Nian, according to my opinion, it would be better for you to join the Chinese Academy. Your temperament is not suitable for joining the Zhu Academy. You can't restrain yourself. Ming Academy already has some opinions on you, so there is no need to ask for trouble."
"The Chinese studies are just right. You are a powerful person in the Great Xia Dynasty, so it is reasonable for you to study Chinese."
"Of course, it depends on yourself what it is."
Su Wenjing gave his own thoughts.
"Students, please think carefully."
Gu Jinnian nodded, looking a little thoughtful.
The studies of Confucius and Saints are equivalent to enlightenment, and the Confucius family has always maintained it. Majoring in the studies of Confucius and Saints is equivalent to joining the Confucian family, and Gu Jinnian does not want to go.
According to Zhu Xue, maintaining natural principles and destroying human desires is not suitable for me. It is only suitable for people who are born with high moral character and strong self-control. This kind of person is very scary. Things he thinks he shouldn't do are just
Definitely not going to do it.
For example, when it comes to eating, if you say you can't waste it, then you can't waste it at all. In a sense, you are even more ruthless than a Buddhist ascetic.
Not to mention those who are knowledgeable. If you don’t know how to adapt to the way of a gentleman, you will be bullied. Although you can show your noble character, you are the one who will be wronged.
Well, Chinese studies. If you join it, a lot of things will be involved in it. Politics is something that Gu Jinnian doesn't really want to touch.
His idea was to use his spare time to improve the country, help whenever he could, and let the dynasty handle the rest. He should rest when he should, and rush to retire to work.
But what Su Wenjing said is absolutely right. Chinese studies are indeed the best for him now.
Unless you don't join any school of thought, in which case it's not very good.
"You have to think about it carefully."
Gu Jinnian murmured to himself that he was not very satisfied with any of this.
I have to say that the most satisfying thing is actually the 'Xin Xue'. Before time travel, Gu Jinnian had read Xin Xue. At that time, he didn't quite understand the meaning. However, after coming to this world for so long, he encountered so many things.
Gu Jinnian became more and more interested in the study of mind.
However, there are too many things going on, and there is no free time for myself to reflect on them.
Since he now has to choose a school of thought, Gu Jinnian plans to study hard in the next period of time, and at the same time, he can calm down and understand the Confucianism and Taoism of this world.
Gu Jinnian felt that he had been too impatient during this period.
You should read and understand something clearly, and you should also reflect on it.
"kindness."
"Haosheng, go back and rest."
Su Wen nodded.
So Gu Jinnian resigned and returned to his residence alone.
After the imperial examination, Daxia Academy became much deserted, 90% of the students went back, similar to Wang Fugui and others who also went home.
The rest of the people have more or less left the academy. Except for some great Confucians and Confucian scholars, there are no other scholars in the academy.
Although it is a bit lonely, it is still peaceful.
in this way.
Half a month passed in a row.
During the past half month, Gu Jinnian went to bed early and got up early every day. During the day, he wrote about national policies, and at night, he studied Taoism and learned about the mind.
What I have to say is that when he went back to understand Mr. Shouren's philosophy, Gu Jinnian had countless thoughts.
This philosophy of mind is very consistent with Gu Jinnian’s three views.
Knowledge and action are consistent with conscience.
Just this sentence alone can make someone spend a lifetime studying it.
What is knowledge?
What is one?
How to practice? How to practice?
These are very profound.
Gu Jinnian could only slowly understand it from the Four Sentences.
There is no good or evil body, and there are good and evil actions.
The most good and the most evil are conscience, doing good and eliminating evil is the investigation of things.
Without these four sentences, it would be difficult for Gu Jinnian to understand.
However, Gu Jinnian has also studied the subject of the mind. The earliest study of the mind actually originated from the Yasheng Mencius, and Mr. Shouren gave the mind a complete complement.
Everyone has their own opinions on Confucianism. In the past half month, Gu Jinnian has been extremely confused at times.
I even spent several days sleeping and dreaming thinking about Xinxue.
So that the thoughts are difficult to reach.
But sometimes I feel like I’ve caught something, but it’s gone in an instant.
This feeling was so painful that Gu Jinnian had to forcefully change his thinking and focus on national policies.
There is no other reason.
If you keep studying the mind, something will happen to you.
If you don’t have enough experience and try to understand things by force, you will easily get into trouble.
Many things, you don’t know whether they are right or wrong. Today you think it means one thing, but tomorrow you will think it means something else. If you keep doing this over and over again, big problems can easily arise.
Looking back on this Jin Nian, I can understand why some old Confucian scholars often study a book for decades.
"The academic theory is really scary. I still need to gain a little more experience to understand it. With my current knowledge, if I try to understand the meaning of the saint, I'm afraid there will be big problems."
Under the window, Gu Jinnian smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had thought about it a few days ago and spent some time to understand the mind science.
Maybe I went to Jixia Academy to create the mind science by myself, and then recited a sentence to unite knowledge and action, bloom visions, and compete for the mark of destiny.
Now that I think about it, I am still too young. I seem to understand many things, but in fact I still understand only a little.
Only by experiencing some twists and turns can we grow.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian devoted himself wholeheartedly to national policy.
The Great Xia Dynasty was still his base. To be honest, he was a little worried at first, fearing that his uncle would be jealous of him if he was too good. Later, Gu Jinnian gradually understood a few truths.
This is the world of immortal martial arts. Ordinary personal strength is definitely not as good as the power of the dynasty, but when personal strength reaches a certain level, life and death are no longer a decision that the dynasty can make.
Just like myself, if I take one step forward and say something ugly, even if the king of future generations wants to kill me, it will not be an easy thing.
In addition, why would the king of future generations kill himself? I just think that the dynasty is at its peak, and it will be more difficult to kill two heroes?
The logic doesn't fit.
Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty is his base camp. Mr. Wenjing said so much some time ago that asking him to join the school early is actually to help him find a backer.
But after thinking about it during this period, Gu Jinnian thought of one thing, that is, the Daxia Dynasty was also his backer.
And it is the strongest backer.
I follow Confucianism and put myself first, and I have no idea of becoming an emperor. In addition, I am also a member of the royal family. If I really want to do something, what reason does the court have to stop me?
Moreover, Confucianism and Taoism are also born for the people. In ancient and modern times, as long as you are not a foolish king, what you actually want is not only the peace of the country and the people, but when you encounter a few militants, it is to expand the territory.
There is no contradiction with myself.
Therefore, to make the Great Xia Dynasty prosperous, it was not only to hope that my uncle would become a dragon, but more importantly, to serve the common people of the world.
Letting the people live a better life is not a waste of time. Everyone has to do something, whether it is more or less.
Of course, the main reason is that this world is relatively boring, and I can also find something to do for myself.
However, after collecting some statistics during this period, Gu Jinnian discovered that the Daxia Dynasty did indeed have many problems.
And some problems are much more serious than you think.
To put it simply, looking at any dynasty in ancient and modern times, there are actually three things that are inseparable from it.
[Concentration of Imperial Power]
【External contradiction】
【People's Livelihood Plan】
The concentration of imperial power does not care about the "separation of powers between monarch and ministers", "chaos among feudal lords", and "the supremacy of divine power".
The division of power between the king and his ministers, with the prime minister as a typical example, divided the power of the emperor, but this is not bad. There are benefits of canceling if it is cancelled, and there are benefits of not canceling if it is not cancelled.
Looking back at history, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister system and strengthened the imperial power as never before. Is this a good thing?
On the surface, at least the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was a good thing, because the emperor had the final say alone and did not worry about this or that, and he did things very quickly.
Later, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji were also quite good, because they met Mingjun.
It would be wonderful to meet a being like the Ming God of War. Without the constraints of the prime minister, the emperor could do whatever he wanted. The five hundred thousand troops were exchanged for the Tumu Fortress Change.
To put it in the words of later generations, even a pig with an army of half a million soldiers would not lose so miserably.
The God of War of the Ming Dynasty had a thousand ways not to lose, but he chose the thousand and one way to lose. The Wala foreign students really couldn't clean themselves up.
For today's Daxia Dynasty, the problem of separation of powers between the monarch and his ministers is not a big one.
The rebellion of the feudal lords is the most serious problem of the Great Xia Dynasty now. The theocratic supremacy has been suppressed by itself, and at least it is impossible for theocratic supremacy to occur in a short period of time.
Prince Ning is a huge hidden danger. If Prince Ning is not dealt with, then no matter whether it is "dividing a small family into a family" or suppressing the powerful, anything that infringes on the interests of this group of powerful families will not be implemented.
Once you implement it, these powerful families will begin to unite to rebel.
Why did Emperor Jiande lose?
Half of the reason is that Emperor Yongsheng was too fierce, and the Gu family was too fierce. The other half of the main reason is that after Emperor Jiande took office, he still suppressed the family very fiercely, inheriting Taizu's ideas, and at the same time in order to elevate the status of scholars, so
Invade the interests of the family.
After all, Emperor Jiande's teacher was one of the top figures in the Zhu School, and he later committed suicide for his country.
On white paper.
Gu Jinnian also slowly wrote "The Rebellion of the Domain Kings".
This is a top priority.
If this matter is not resolved, my uncle will have trouble sleeping and eating, and his dream of enjoying his old age may be shattered.
External conflicts are easy to talk about. The Xiongnu Kingdom has been honest, although I know that the Xiongnu Kingdom must have other ideas.
But at least the Daxia Dynasty currently has almost zero external conflicts. It was originally competing with the Jin Dynasty, but now because of the National Dragon Ball, they are joining forces to fight against the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
If this matter is left to the imperial court to handle itself, is it possible that all the civil and military officials are really useless?
And people’s livelihood plan is also the most important point.
Putting aside the chaos among the feudal lords, the scourge of Prince Ning will have to be eliminated sooner or later.
Gu Jinnian, on the other hand, does not have to worry about Prince Ning. He will have to fight sooner or later. After the fight, the result will be nothing more than losing or winning. But regardless of losing or winning, he will make a fuss about people's livelihood in the future.
Be it the court, the people, or the powerful families, the core around which all forces revolve is actually 'silver'.
If you don’t believe it, you can go and listen to the One-day Chao meeting.
Although the excerpts played by the officials of the six ministries every day vary, they are not the same as they say.
There is a severe drought in Daxia, so we are requesting funding.
Official salaries are too low, please request for funding.
The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching and she is requesting funds.
Envoys from various countries came and asked for funds.
The weapons and horses are old and we are asking for funding.
Hube: I don’t listen, I don’t listen.
That's roughly it.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongsheng was a career-oriented emperor. If he were a pleasure-seeking emperor, he would probably have more troubles.
And this people's livelihood plan is nothing more than three.
Eat well, wear warm clothes, and have money in savings.
Then this involves building bridges and roads, business promotion, tax adjustments, and a series of other things.
Gu Jinnian specially transferred files from recent years from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The final conclusion is this.
The Daxia Dynasty was completely in deficit finance.
First of all, tax collection is a complete mess. There are a lot of weird accounts anyway, but Gu Jinnian completely believes that there is absolutely no way that the accounts department can miscalculate the accounts. The only possibility is that the half-ancestral system and the half-new system are used.
Use Taizu's method to collect part of the tax, and then set up some new rules to collect part of the tax.
Only if the accounts are not messy will there be trouble.
The total annual income of the Daxia Dynasty treasury was thirty million taels of silver.
But the Great Xia Dynasty spent as much as 40,000 taels of silver a year.
How can we get out the extra ten million taels of silver? We need to use all kinds of things to pay off the debts. For official salt rolls alone, there is a deficit account of twenty and eighty million taels of silver.
The general meaning is that if the national treasury is out of money, use the official salt roll to pay off the debt. This thing can be exchanged for salt, and you can use it yourself.
As for other miscellaneous things, it's even more confusing.
To solve this problem, the best way is to [unify tax items] and add [spend reduction].
The main tax in the Daxia Dynasty was grain tax, so dividing the land into acres can effectively solve this big problem. Taxation is collected according to the field. No matter how many people you have in your family, one acre of land will be collected as one acre. In this way
It can greatly increase tax revenue and effectively combat some cases of nominal tax avoidance.
At the same time, various benefits will be cancelled, and at least those aristocratic families must be severely punished, including scholars, as well as the royal family and nobles.
Most of the royal family and aristocrats, to put it bluntly, are vampires. They receive monthly salaries from the treasury, and then use their status to avoid taxes for tenants and earn the middleman's price difference. This thing must be severely suppressed.
If this step can be achieved, then unified tax items can be implemented and the price of grain tax can be suppressed to about 15%.
Daxia's tax revenue is 35%, which is equivalent to a direct reduction of 20%. The people are naturally overjoyed, but the only ones who are unlucky are the powerful.
Of course, this is a beautiful idea, but if you want to implement it, you cannot avoid the previous topic.
Push the order of grace first.
Kill King Ning again.
Knocking on the mountain shakes the tiger.
Thunderous means.
Only in this way can it be implemented. Otherwise, there is no way to even think about it. The royal family and nobles are the strongest backers of such aristocratic families. If they don't implement it, they will never be able to benefit the people.
As for cutting down on expenditure, it's simple: we ask for what we need and don't give what we shouldn't.
Within the rules, follow the rules.
You must not mess around outside the bounds of the rules.
Using land to pay debts and salt rolls to pay debts is nonsense. Although it can solve a temporary emergency, it will be the next generation of emperors who will be unlucky.
Gu Jinnian could imagine that if Li Ji could really ascend to the palace, this guy would stop showing off his power and make sure that hundreds of officials would gather at the door every day to collect debts.
One by one, they urged Li Ji to give them money.
At that time, according to Li Ji's character, 99% of the time he would choose to lie down and let the civil and military officials handle it themselves.
How can the civil and military officials deal with it? They can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. Even if a capable minister comes, it will be useless. The hole is too big and cannot be solved in twenty or thirty years. It will take at least two generations to make up for it.
hole.
Who will fill the hole?
Common people, who else could it be?
"The issue of cost-cutting must be dealt with as soon as possible. Although the household department is very poor, they are also a bunch of losers."
"Money is not saved, but earned plus reasonable savings. If you don't plunk a penny, you are a miser at best, and the rest is of no use at all."
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but have some complaints about the household department.
He had a good impression of Hu Bu before, and felt that Hu Bu could hold on to the money quite well.
Now it seems that the Ministry of Finance will only hold on to this little money.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian continued to write on the white paper.
Almost three hours passed.
In the end, Gu Jinnian wrote the entire plan, which was the most concise national policy.
In order to worry that his uncle would not understand, Gu Jinnian even gave many examples.
But the whole article cannot avoid "killing King Ning".
Unless King Ning is killed, nothing can be done.
After finishing writing the article, Gu Jinnian also took a short break and took out the beautiful picture of the country.
Counting it all together, a month has passed.
Gu Jinnian planned to take a look at the situation inside the Jinxiu Picture.
After taking out the beautiful picture.
Among the thousands of acres of fertile fields in the picture, all the ears of True Dragon rice are full and ready for harvesting.
The true dragon rice ears are fully mature.
Gu Jinnian harvested a small portion of almost a hundred rice plants. After taking them out, the rich aroma of rice was refreshing.
Without further ado, Gu Jinnian used his magic power to peel off the chaff, and a bead-like true dragon rice appeared.
Soon Gu Jinnian went to the dining room himself and lit a fire to cook.
Less than half an hour later, the refreshing fragrance of rice hit you, and the rice in the pot was as white as white jade pearls.
I filled a bowl with just enough, no more or less, and no condiments. The smell alone made me want to take the first bite.
The rice is fragrant, with a sweet taste, and it tastes very chewy. After chewing a few mouthfuls, your mouth will be full of fragrance.
In less than a moment, a large bowl of Zhenlong Baomi rice was eaten by Gu Jinnian.
Soon a warm feeling came from the stomach, and then turned into pure Qi and spread throughout the body.
After understanding it carefully, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Under the three realms of martial arts, even if you eat it, it will be effective."
"For ordinary people, if you eat it, it can strengthen your body. Not only will it protect you from all diseases, but at least you won't get cold and cough in the future."
"It's really a good thing."
"And this big bowl of rice can replenish my energy. For ordinary people, if the whole family eats one bowl, they will not be hungry for two or three days, but for soldiers, eating half a bowl a day can energize them."
All day long.”
"hiss."
Gu Jinnian was really shocked.
He is a strong warrior king, and he feels energetic even after eating a bowl of rice like this. For ordinary people, they will definitely not be able to consume the nutrients brought by a bowl of Zhenlongbao rice, unless they get used to it and their physical condition improves.
Otherwise, the bowl Gu Jinnian ate just now would be enough for a family of five or six for three days.
In other words, it is directly equivalent to tripling the yield per mu.
Gu Jinnian's first step was to hope that the people would have enough to eat.
It’s not that I want everyone to be a warrior.
It's best to transform slowly. You can't become fat in one breath.
"Dajinlong rice also has this effect, but the main purpose of Dajinlong rice is to improve the body, but it cannot have such an effect. It can not only improve the body, but also make you full."
"But these are true dragon rice ears, and they are grown with the help of the Jiangshan Splendid Map. They may have special bonuses."
"We need to use ordinary fertile land to plant it. After all, the Jiangshan Splendid Map is only ten thousand acres in size, which is far from being able to provide it to the people of Daxia."
Gu Jinnian also understood the reason why Baomi was so good.
He thought for a while, returned to his residence, and took out the Splendid Picture of Jiangshan again.
There are a lot of new seeds in the rice fields.
The collection of these seeds weighed almost a hundred kilograms, and Gu Jinnian found a sack to put them in.
Then I went to find Su Huaiyu.
Let Su Huaiyu handle this matter, which is basically asking Su Huaiyu to find different fertile fields for planting experiments.
It is best to try several different types of land, including high-quality fertile land, fertile land, ordinary cultivated land, less than average cultivated land, and cultivated land that is not suitable for planting, as well as in the desert. You can even plant it on the seaside and irrigate it with sea water.
, see if we can breed grain rice.
If possible.
Then it is really developed this time.
Directly solve the food crisis in Daxia.
And this is also the basis for future negotiations with the Jin Dynasty.
However, when Su Huaiyu heard that he was asked to farm, he refused immediately.
"Master Hou."
"It is the rule of Daxia to call you "Marquis", and to call you "subordinate" is to give the old man face."
"You asked me to run errands, and Su never complained. Now you want me to farm? Do you want me to fertilize the land tomorrow?"
"Please forgive me for not agreeing to this matter, Su."
Su Huaiyu's attitude was very firm.
Directly reject Gu Jinnian's rude request.
The reason why he chose Su Huaiyu was entirely because this thing was worth a lot of money. He had to find someone he could trust and be reliable to test it with. He wouldn't trust anyone else.
I just didn't expect Su Huaiyu to refuse so directly.
"Brother Su."
"In the city that never sleeps in the summer, whether we can make money every day depends on this bag of rice."
"If you don't want to, don't blame me for cheating you if you lose money."
Since Su Huaiyu didn't agree, Gu Jinnian had no choice but to make this decision.
Upon hearing this.
Su Huaiyu immediately cheered up.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Although Su is a martial artist, he also understands the feelings of family and country."
"To be honest, Su has always had a dream, which is to hope that everyone has food to eat."
"Leave this to me."
Su Huaiyu became very enthusiastic when he heard that it was related to Yinzi.
In this way, Su Huaiyu left the academy with the seeds.
Gu Jinnian didn't care where he went, he had clearly explained the confidentiality, safety, and results.
It doesn't matter what you do, just tell yourself the situation later.
in this way.
After Su Huaiyu left, Gu Jinnian went back to continue thinking about things.
And so.
Until late at night.
One after another, figures were galloping towards Daxia Kyoto at a furious speed.
"Three thousand miles of urgent official document! Hurry! Hurry! Get out of the way!"
"Five thousand miles urgent official document! Retreat immediately!"
"Eight thousand miles away, urgent document! I want to see the Holy Spirit!"
"This document is urgent! It's urgent!"
As roars rang out one after another, the tranquility of Daxia Kyoto was broken.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Figures appeared one after another, and each one looked extremely haggard. They had been walking for days and nights without even taking a sip of water. If they weren't all warriors in the magical power realm, they might not have been able to bear it at all.
Urgent official documents are all sent by warriors, because when you reach the realm of magical power, you can run faster than a horse.
Just tired.
"Your Majesty! Jiangzhong County is experiencing a severe drought, with no water flow, locusts passing through, and all crops disappearing overnight. Please request the imperial court to allocate food and grass."
"Your Majesty! There was a sudden earthquake in Longxi County. All thirteen mansions were hit, with numerous casualties and casualties. We request the imperial court to send troops to provide disaster relief."
"Your Majesty! The volcano in Donglin County erupted. Fires continued, and the mountains were burned. Countless people were buried in the flames, and monsters descended from the mountains to cause harm to the world. Please ask the imperial court for assistance."
"Your Majesty! Nanyue County suddenly encountered a rare heavy snowfall. The mountains froze, the water flow stopped, and the affected area exceeded nine prefectures."
As one voice sounded after another.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The face of Emperor Yongsheng was instantly hard to see.
He had predicted that there would be a disaster in the summer.
But what I didn't expect was that they all came at once, and even an entire county was affected by the disaster. This was simply a catastrophe.
Exceeded my expectations.
However, at this moment, a figure rushed over, it was Xu Taiyi.
"His Majesty."
"I observed the sky at night and found seventeen flints falling towards the territory of Daxia."
As Seo Taiyi's voice sounded.
Emperor Yongsheng was completely silent.
First update delivered.
Go to sleep.
Today I will write the second update depending on the situation!
Then ask for a monthly ticket!
After celebrating the holiday yesterday, I have been typing!
