Not everyone can understand what Ye An is thinking. He is different from people of this era. What he sees and hears is not what he knows. The memory engraved in his bones will reject these so-called things again and again.
common sense.
In the face of disasters, people in the Song Dynasty sold their children and daughters, not only in exchange for a mouthful of food, but also in the hope that capable people would buy these children and give them a way to survive.
But this is unacceptable to Ye An and Qin Mumu. Isn't the role of the government not to do its best to save the people, rescue the living, and bury the dead?
History books will record the process of the Song Dynasty's disaster relief, but those were disasters with great impact and wide scope, and the rescue speed in the court was much faster than actual actions.
As for disasters in remote places, I'm sorry, we can only allow limited treatment at the local level, and then they will be left in ruins, and they will not even be included in the documents.
The world is so big, what does it matter if some people die?
Compared with later generations, no matter how highly civilized the Song Dynasty was, it was still dark in their eyes.
As for resisting foreign enemies... they are incomparable. One of the policies of the Song Dynasty is to hide if you can, and don't fight if you can't. However, Ye An and Qin Mumu have completely opposite ideas.
War should not be decided by the other party, but by oneself!
Strong national defense has always been the greatest sense of security for both of them, but now this sense of security has disappeared, and the dynasty in front of them may be in danger of collapse at any time.
No matter how many problems there are, there are always solutions to them gradually. The scary thing is that all these problems are attributed to the system! This is a terrifying existence that is difficult to shake.
It can be said that all the problems of the Song Dynasty have reached an extent that is difficult to solve unless most of all the systems of this dynasty are overthrown. However, the foundation of the existence of the Song Dynasty lies precisely in these systems.
Ye An had no way to express this reform to Zhao Zhen. The fundamental reason why he and Zhao Zhen were drifting apart was because of the reform.
No one knew that he had an in-depth conversation with Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen was intimidated by his idea. Such drastic reforms would overthrow the entire Song Dynasty, starting from the Tianjia to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.
From the laws of the ancestors to the "Song Xingtong", everything must break people's common sense and establish a brand new government management system!
The result was just as Ye An had guessed. Not only did Zhao Zhen firmly oppose it, he even began to suspect that he had ulterior motives. From that moment on, all reforms had failed.
There are only two kinds of trust from the king, no suspicion and suspicion. Once you are suspected once, it is equivalent to countless times.
Ye An told Qin Mumu his thoughts, but Qin Mumu laughed at him for being stupid. They all said that reform was sometimes like "scraping bones to cure poison", but Ye An's reform was like "having a different body and a different body". Where is the Song Dynasty?
Do you have a reason to "kill" yourself?
As it happened, Wen Tong had such a view. Although he still supported the Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart and believed that the king's power was granted by heaven, he was more radical in reform.
This is not the first time he has submitted an article to the Tokyo Morning Post, but Ye An did not dare to post a lot of the content after reading it. This is not submitting an article, it is simply "throwing into the river". If the Tokyo Morning Post published his article, I believe it would be closed soon.
Good luck is not far away either.
Sitting down in the flower hall, Ye Ansu invited the tea ceremony: "Mr. Wen, please have some tea. I have read your article a long time ago. Although it is somewhat radical, it is also full of current affairs. But if the court wants to make major changes, that is
If you have the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, sir, do you think it is possible?"
Wen Tong put down the tea cup and looked at Ye Ando curiously: "Does Marquis Ye know if it can be done? Now that Duke Fan is pushing new policies, and the country has failed at Sanchuankou, it is a great opportunity for reform!"
Taking out the manuscript from his arms, Ye An looked at Comrade Wen with a half-smile and said, "These are articles you published before. The Tokyo Morning News didn't dare to publish them, and I don't agree to publish them either. Do you know why?"
"Because the impact is so large and the impact is so huge, it is shocking both at home and abroad!"
Ye An was slightly startled, this guy is really a bit crazy! But then he shook his head and said: "No, because it has no effect!" After that, he handed the manuscript to Wen Tong himself.
Wen Tong's face twitched, he snorted coldly and planned to leave. Just before he was about to go out, Ye An said quietly: "Don't you want to hear why it's useless?"
"Since Ye Houyi is determined, there are naturally many reasons."
With a stubborn temper, Ye An stood up and said, "That's because you forgot one thing, something related to the reform you want!"
At this time, Wen Tong was stunned, turned around in confusion and said, "What did you forget?"
Ye An smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't you think that the reform proposals mentioned in your article mostly focus on the court and officials, and even mention the clan and generals, but there is only one missing?"
"who?!"
Wen Tong counted on his fingers for a long time and didn't feel that he had missed anything, but when he saw Ye An's warm smile, he was shocked and staggered and almost fell down.
Ye An walked over calmly: "I read your article. The content is detailed and thorough. Many interests are involved in it. The reform of the imperial court is not only about reforming local officials and laws, but also about reforming the corrupt laws.
The dilemma is broken! The Tian family and the scholar-officials stand together. If the reform is to be carried out, the official family cannot do without the help of the scholar-officials. However, some among the scholar-officials support the reform and some oppose the reform. How to choose? Some who oppose the reform are still
There are important ministers and veterans in the court, so the official family will inevitably compromise, and the generals are also involved, and the queen comes from the generals. How do you think these interests should be given up? Will the court give up? Will the official family give up? "
Pointing out the problem to the point, Wen Tong blushed and didn't know what to say. Finally, he sneered: "Ye Hou still doesn't want to carry out reforms. Why are you looking for such an excuse?"
I originally thought I had hit Ye An's vital point, but Ye An's expression changed, and he stared at him seriously and said, "What a big mistake! I'm just telling you that what you have in mind will not work in Tokyo!
"
Wen Tong looked down at the manuscript paper in his hand and smiled mockingly: "Where else can we implement it?" In fact, he also understood what Ye An meant. He did take it for granted, but his deep respect for the imperial power still made him
I didn't dare to have other ideas, but I felt that what Ye An said was reasonable. If the New Deal was really implemented and implemented on the Tian family, it would go against my original idea.
Seeing Wen Tong's devastated look, Ye An reached out to stop him and said: "Of course it's not possible in Tokyo, but it's not impossible in other places. There is a vast land that urgently needs to implement these new policies in your hands. It's far away.
On the other hand, the court is not in charge, the officials are not around, and there are not as many forces involved in Tokyo."
Wen Tong suddenly turned his head to look at Ye And and said, "Isn't it Gan Liang that Ye Hou is talking about?"
"I didn't say it, you just guessed it yourself..."
