As Xiao Wu was the first to vote for her husband, some scholars compared the article copied by Yang Tong with the previous first place, and then voted for the poem and four essays that had just been posted.

The writing of this article is sophisticated, the content is thought-provoking, and the beautiful text with rich words and empty content is like mud in comparison.

The important thing is that this style of writing is in line with the taste of several giants in Jizhou.

As we all know, Jizhou Mu Yang Tong hates flashy and sycophantic performances the most, and requires the officials under his rule to pay attention to conciseness and clarity when playing. "Lingyan Pavilion" and "Ma Said" written by him himself are also flat and straightforward!

The top is good, the bottom is effective!

The boss of Jizhou doesn't like flowery articles, so when officials are negligent, they always have to delete and delete empty words, nonsense, and clichés in the chapter.

For a time, the Jizhou literary circle completely abandoned the ornate rhetoric and sprinkled with the 'palace style'.

Yang Tong's standard for officials is that they only need to clearly state what, where, when, and whom, and attach the solution, and those who do not meet the standards will be punished, and even a few officials will be dismissed for playing a vision!

Lao Tzu spends money to support you, not to look at these useless things, let alone take a salary and not do things, if you don't give a solution according to the facts, you will live and push it when you encounter something, why does Lao Tzu support you?

It's right that everyone uses their talent to test their reputation, and I support it, but it also depends on what kind of talent and what kind of talent! Poetry and calligraphy and painting are the main arts of cultivating sentiment, but what is the use of poetry? Can it govern the local area or can it defend itself against foreign enemies?

The road is simple, the text is the road, and the article should not stay on the surface.

Besides, no matter how good your writing is, no matter how many allusions you use, if you don't have something practical, who wants to read it?

Under Yang Tong's strict requirements, the context of Jizhou has changed greatly, and it is more concise and powerful than the ancient texts of the pre-Qin period, and the writing of articles is also to the point.

"A Fang Gong Fu", "Shi Said", "The Snake Catcher Said", and "The Story of Furong Building" seem simple, but they are actually full of wisdom and philosophical strategies!

And "A Fang Gongfu" and "The Snake Catcher Says" are bold and hot in borrowing ancient satirical orders and acupuncture of the times, which is shocking.

The purpose of Yang Tong picking out these two articles is to lay the foundation for a wide range of opinions, once everyone dares to discuss politics, it will save the country from many detours.

Many scholars were shocked, and some people who were originally full of confidence and tried to win the championship also followed the heavy heart!

With this Xiongwen, do you have a chance?

Xiao Wu saw that the scholars were fascinated by one poem and four texts, and she was proud!

Yang Tong tilted his head, and a faint fragrance came from the tip of his nose, only to find that Xiao Wu's milk-like white skin revealed a lovely flush, and her long eyelashes blinked, like butterflies flapping their wings. Obviously proud.

Yang Tong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is this poem so good?" ”

"I don't know!" Xiao Wu slapped Yang Tong with a deliberate feeling, and her big eyes blinked innocently.

"I really don't know!"

"Huh?"

The two of them are going to the prestige! I saw a middle-aged man with a strange appearance, a majestic bearing, and deep eyes walking over.

Xiao Wu looked at Yang Tong playfully, watching him laugh.

Yang Tong smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "In Xia Mutong, the word is benevolent, and it belongs to the kind of gold and jade!" Dare to ask what is the name of Brother Tai? ”

"Poof!"

Xiao Wu burst out laughing, did you introduce yourself like that? When his husband is serious, he is scary, but he is very reckless in private.

The plainly dressed man was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that someone would introduce himself like this, and the reprimand to his mouth was choked back all of a sudden, and everyone admitted that he was 'golden and ruined', what else do you say? What else can you say? At the moment, he also smiled bitterly: "Under Ling Jing!" Word respect! ”

Yang Tong's heart was shocked, Ling Jing may not have become famous in history, but he is also quite a remarkable figure, resourceful, and Dou Jiande's adviser to become the king of Hebei.

But after Dou Jiande achieved a great cause, like Hong Xiuquan later, he valued villains, distant virtuous ministers, and pleasures, and committed suspicious taboos, first killed the heavy general Wang Fubao, and then killed the minister Song Zhengben.

Although Ling Jing is alive, he has been marginalized!

Before the First Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, which decided the ownership of the world, Ling Jing had insight into the reality of Li Tang's empty army in Hedong, and proposed a strategy that was enough to change the ownership of the world, but Dou Jiande and his subordinate Wenwu accepted the bribe of Wang Shichong's envoy, and did not recruit Ling Jing's strategy of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao', and finally ended in a dismal ending, achieving Li Shimin's 3,000 and 100,000 prestige!

Dou Jiande was beaten by himself at the beginning of the game, and this talent probably came by chance.

Now that you're here, don't go!

You won't miss out.

"It turned out to be Brother Ling!" Yang Tong smiled and said: "I am a person from Guanzhong, who was ordered by the family to come to Zhuojun to increase my knowledge!" According to Brother Ling's opinion, what kind of person is King Qin? ”

Ling Jing saw that this young man was smiling and feasting, handsome and chic, and he was exquisite, but he had an arrogant and noble spirit, and the woman with a conical hat next to him, although he was covered with a face scarf, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his demeanor and cultivation showed by his gestures were also good. As for his retinue, they were tall and strong, and they were as strong as bears. He knew that the other party was a child of a family.

However, Ling Jing was not afraid, and said: "The King of Qin is wise and martial, he is not weak to the first emperor, and in terms of martial arts, it is no less than today, if the two can be integrated, my Great Sui Dynasty will only advance and not retreat." ”

Yang Tong blushed a little!

"However, it would be nice if His Highness could develop business!"

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Yang Tong squinted and groaned, but a pair of Danfeng eyes shot a sharp and terrifying glow.

"How so? My main body was agriculture, but does the vigorous development of agriculture really support the needs of the Great Sui? Not necessarily. And business can fill this void and even drive the development of agriculture, so why not do such a good thing? Ling Jing said, "Agriculture-based, business-supplemented, and work-based is the best strategy for developing people's livelihood." What a country wants is not abnormal prosperity, but comprehensive prosperity! ”

Yang Tong's eyes lit up, and Shi revealed a look of injustice: "Businessmen seek profits, and business is the way of accumulation, some people make and some people lose, it is businessmen who earn, and it is the people who are poor." Therefore, since the pre-Qin period, it is the national policy of noble farmers and lowly businessmen, business is a small road after all, and what really supports the country is the tax on acres of land! ”

This argument has been the mainstream since ancient times.

The corners of Ling Jing's mouth pulled out a sneering smile: "It's true that businessmen are pursuing profits, don't the people pursue profits?" It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages! Speaking of this, he looked at the many scholars who were especially looking at the list, "Aren't these people coming to Zhuojun also for fame and fortune?" Of course, this also includes the next person. ”

Yang Tong was amazed, it was very human to be able to say it so calmly.

"Indeed it is! Soldiers chase military merit is to pursue profit, and Wenchen works hard for promotion, but also for profit, so Taishi Gong said: The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”

Ling Jing nodded and said, "Brother Tai is so knowledgeable!" In fact, commerce is that merchants buy surplus goods in the hands of the people and then sell them, and when the merchants make money, they will buy from the people on a large scale, and the people make money, and the craftsmen actively make furniture, and the farmers actively produce...... Industries will increase their production...... The state receives more abundant tax revenues and is more powerful. ”

"Foolishly think that the standard of a country's strength should not be based on the wealth owned by the imperial treasury, but should look at the people, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the family has surplus money, then this country does not need to be seen, it must be enlightened and strong, and if the people live in poverty, no matter how rich the court is, it cannot prove anything......"

"Brother Ling is so knowledgeable!" Yang Tong sincerely admired, what Ling Jing said was undoubtedly clever, which Yang Dong could not deny.

When it comes to false prosperity and deformed prosperity, it is none other than the "rule of the emperor"!

Yang Jian's wealth stems from the fact that he checked his household registration, and the tens of millions of people who have changed from black households to commoners have brought him unexpected financial income.

At that time, there were few people in Guanzhong, and floods in the Central Plains were frequent, but the treasury of the Great Sui Mansion was always full, and Yang Jian seemed to have endless money, and he gave rewards to civil and military officials and soldiers every New Year's holiday, and sent three million pieces of cloth at one time, so his money was still not spent......

Later, the treasury was full, and there was no place to put it, so Yang Jian asked the ministers in a hurry: "I have given out so much reward money every year, why haven't I used it up yet?" ”

Of course, his money will not be used up in terms of small rewards, because the agricultural potential of the Great Sui has almost been squeezed out!

When Yang Guang came to power, when the officials measured the land, in order to cater to his temperament of great joy, they deliberately exaggerated the area of cultivated land, and released rumors such as the yield of 10,000 catties of grain per mu and the size of courgettes like houses!

So, Yang Guangda waved his hand, since the yield is so high, a Zhuangzi can't eat a big melon, and pigs and dogs can cross the ocean, then add taxes!

With this addition, the people will be so poor that they will not be able to eat.

And what should Yang Guang, who was worried about the lack of warehouses, do?

After the willful construction, it is not enjoyable, and then the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is a one-year pass!

In this way, the people who were already swaying left and right on the survival line had no way to live, what else could they do but rebel?

Da Sui is such a big guy, and he has become like this in the transition pressing.

This lesson not only tells Yang Tong to hide the wealth from the people, but also makes the country strong when the people are rich! Also let him know that the economy must develop in many ways!

Because a country is a human body, agriculture is the skeleton, industry is the muscle, education is the soul, and business undoubtedly connects the meridians of all walks of life.

Ling Jing, a native of the Great Sui Dynasty, has the ability to put forward the national policy of 'agriculture as the mainstay, business as the auxiliary, and work as the backbone', which is indeed extraordinary!

He decided to set up another Ministry of Commerce!

The head of the Ministry of Commerce, it is none other than Ling Jing!

After a little chat, Yang Tong took his leave and left.

It was still early in the day, and there were still many things to do, so Yang Tong naturally took Xiao Wu's hand and walked a little lazily towards the registration point of the 'Jingwu Pavilion'......
