Chapter seven hundred and nineteenth again rhetoric
When everyone else was expressing their opinions, the "independent" Ye An looked a little weird standing there.
Of course, the military commanders had nothing to say, but Ye An was standing in the ranks of literary talents, which seemed out of place.
The reality is this, the less you want to get involved in something, the more it will become involved with you.
Ye An wanted to be single when it came to Sun Xi, but there were always people who didn't think so, or who deliberately made trouble for him, such as Liu E at the moment.
Seeing Ye An standing in the palace like a steel gun for two hours without saying a word, she felt a little strange, but when she thought of the relationship between Ye An and Sun Shi, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.
"How come Ye Shaoqing didn't say a word in the court today?"
Following Liu E's words, Ye An clearly felt that the officials in the court were all focusing on him. Some were gloating about his misfortune, some were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, and some were sympathetic, but they did not come forward.
Help!
Ye An knew he couldn't hide, so he could only say helplessly: "I am a lowly official, so I don't dare to criticize myself."
For some reason, Liu E felt more uncomfortable the more she saw Ye An's respectful attitude. She had already learned from Chen Lin about Ye An's attitude towards the sticking method and also knew about his shortcomings in the sticking method.
It is obvious that he is not unaware of the problem, but rather unwilling to stand up and express his opinion.
"Oh? I heard in the palace that you are quite knowledgeable about the shooting technique! Why are you unwilling to speak today? Is it because Sun Xueshi has learned from you and doesn't want to speak?! It's not necessary, the court
Above all, it is for the sake of the country, and Sun Xueshi is a great scholar in the country, so he will not care about the minutiae. Besides, I can guarantee that you, the master, will not care about your gaffe! Do you think you are Sun Xueshi?"
When the words came to this point, Sun Shi had already cursed in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face, crossed his hands and saluted: "It is exactly what the sage said! What Confucianism emphasizes is self-cultivation, ordering the family, and governing the country.
In the world of peace, if you are entangled by many constraints, that would be inappropriate, and you would be in vain to be a disciple of a saint!"
Ye An smiled bitterly in his heart. Sun Shi's threat was already very clear. Self-cultivation was the first priority. If he couldn't even do well in self-cultivation, how could he manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?!
If you say that the sticking method is better than the compromising method, then you are not respecting your teachers. If the juniors criticize the seniors for their faults, it will be extended to a large extent to their character. No one cares about you at this time.
Right or wrong, it will only mean that there is something wrong with your character.
This is the ancient status hierarchy and the etiquette advocated by Confucianism.
"I believe that neither the sticking method nor the compromise method is a good law! The compromise method is suspected of exploiting the people. The people will not only be harshly treated by the government, but will also be profited by the tea merchants. However, the sticking method has loopholes and is conniving at the tea industry.
The people who suffer from these two methods are ultimately the common people, both of which are undesirable!"
Ye An's words surprised all the officials in the court. Liu E was puzzled and asked: "You mean these two methods of tea tasting are not good?"
"It's natural. If one of them is good, today's meeting will be meaningless, right? What's more, the tea tax is the most important tax for the country and should not be underestimated. But it is already autumn, and this year's tea tax should be paid.
Since everything is collected and paid, why not use the period from this autumn to next spring to revise the tea tax law? There is still only half a year left, and Wei Chen thinks it is enough."
Extremely arrogant......
The court suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Ye An with a somewhat abnormal expression. Half a year? Only five months, and you want to draft a new plan in these short five months.
The tea tax law was an impossible task in the eyes of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.
What's more, Ye An is the young minister of Sinong Temple and has never had any contact with taxation. He dared to boast like this in the court. Many people thought Ye An was crazy.
The imperial court is not a place for joking. Even if you, Ye An, have deep official trust, you cannot be so arrogant!
But some people don't think so. Ye An also made such "bold words" in the court during the Huanzhou Rebellion, but in the end he really put down the Huanzhou Rebellion.
Even if some things are not announced in public, in terms of the spread of news in the Song Dynasty court, it is almost equivalent to no secret at all. The things Ye An did in Huanzhou have long been regarded as civil and military officials by the court.
Let’s discuss the typical examples of management.
But discussions are discussions, and no one will praise Ye An's behavior. After all, Ye An is an anomaly among civil servants. In terms of knowledge, he does not follow the traditional Confucianism but inherits the family's study of things. In terms of merits, he dedicated auspicious seeds and led his army to defeat
Li Deming, this is what a military commander did.
The military generals thought he was a civil servant, and the civil servants thought he was an alien. But at this time, in the court, this alien once again "spoke arrogantly", which was not considered arrogant.
Liu E's eyes flashed, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "Oh? I heard that those who can do more work, then I have to do it Ye Shaoqing, Fan Shizhi, this matter requires your help from the three departments, and it must be ready when the spring tea is harvested next year
How about this method?!"
Naturally, Fan Yong didn't say anything. He bowed out and said, "I obey the will of the saint." His natural attitude surprised the courtiers. They didn't expect that he, Fan Yong, would trust Ye An so much. From the attitude and tone of his words,
It seems that he and Ye An are very familiar with each other.
"Since the sage values his subordinates so much, Ye An dare not shirk the blame, but he still asks the sage to grant Ye An some control over his affairs." Now that he has boasted about Haikou, Ye An will no longer be timid.
He did not want to get involved in the disputes in the court, but at the moment he neither offended Sun Shi nor opposed Xue Kui, nor did he become an enemy of Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian. He just chose a more compromise method.
The reason why he followed Liu E's words and took over this matter was that he was too eager to implement a reform in the Song Dynasty. This was a test and a test of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty and the attitude of the Tian family.
Although it was a bit of a risk, he didn't care. Even if he failed, it didn't matter. He didn't cherish feathers like scholar-bureaucrats. For the sake of experimenting with reforms, what was the loss of reputation?
Liu E naturally agreed to Ye An's request. Although he knew that his family background was extraordinary, it was impossible to accomplish such a major thing without the help of others.
"What is the right to call?"
Ye An smiled and said: "Invoke the cargo management in the Queshan farms in the southeast. Although these officials are in a humble position, they are the people who know the tea farms in the Southeast best and have many contacts with tea growers and merchants. At the same time, I also returned
I would like to invite the tea merchants and tea farmers from the Southeast Tea Farm to come to Beijing together for my inquiry!"
When did the imperial court ask farmers and businessmen to formulate tax laws?!
Ye An's special request not only surprised Liu E, but also surprised the courtiers present!
"How can a humble citizen participate in this matter? Wouldn't the government affairs of the imperial court be hindered by it?!"
In the palace, the Prime Minister Fang Zhonggong pointed at Ye An dissatisfied, with a condescending disdain in his tone and dissatisfaction with Ye An for violating the rules. Such a high posture just ignited the fire of ignorance in Ye An's heart.
He suddenly turned around and scolded with a frown: "Short-sighted! Making tax laws without understanding the people's sentiments is not a closed-door approach? Implementing the laws without knowing the various means in the field will only end up as a compromise method and a stick-to-action method! Guizhong Chengchang
If you are a deacon in the palace, it will be difficult to check the public sentiment, right?!"
