Chapter 660: Divergent Opinions

It was the first time that Lin Jue had discovered that Yan Zhengsu's eloquence was so good. The previous impression of Yan Zhengsu was old-fashioned and wooden, as serious as a blade. He also seldom utters sentimental and inflammatory words. But today's words made people feel respect and touch. This can be seen from the reaction of the crowd below. One by one, they were already excited, and they were gearing up.

However, what Lin Jue heard from this statement was an obscure word that he would never want to hear. Yan Zhengsu said that in the past few months, they have been fighting against the content of the second new law. That is, they don't compromise on content. If the content of the second new law revealed by King Liang is true, but Yan Zhengsu and Mr. Fang will try their best to promulgate such a new law, 0 I am afraid that they will immediately become the target of public criticism. What happened next is hard to say.

The problem is that the emperor actually agreed, that is, he would forcibly promulgate the second "Employment Law". Lin Jue was deeply worried, and could only hope that this second new law was the version after compromise and consultation, not the version that his father-in-law, King Liang, had said that day. Otherwise, it will definitely fry.

At the end of the solemn reprimand, Fang Dunru also stepped forward and said something. What Fang Dunru was talking about was the assignment of specific affairs and some new regulations in the yamen, such as internal secrecy, rules of rewards and punishments, coordination and liaison between departments, and so on.

Half an hour later, the crowd disbanded. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru called the four people who inspected the school's writing public house into the public room in the rear, and began to explain in detail their thoughts and some key points on the formulation of the second new law, the Employment Law.

The more Lin Jue listened, the more frightened he became, and the content of what the two of them talked about was the same as what King Liang had said before. The general idea of the mercenary service law was really to offset the original labor with silver taels, and the imperial court used the collected silver taels to hire people, so as to achieve the purpose of liberating the labor force of the people and increasing the cash income of the imperial court. When Guo Bing's words such as 'exempt money', 'assistant money', and 'exempt and leftover money' popped out of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru's mouths one by one, Lin Jue finally realized that in the quiet time of the past few months, the two adults did not compromise, but struggled. And now, apparently, their struggle has come to fruition, with the emperor's permission, and everything begins according to the original plan, without the slightest change.

The small meeting lasted until noon. Because it is necessary for the examiner to fully understand the purpose and essence of the Employment Law, it is necessary to be detailed and specific. Even if he said it for an hour and a half, there were actually many places that were not clear, and Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu also understood this.

"It's almost noon, so I'll be here. The general direction and outline have been explained to you, and then in the process of formulating the regulations, if there are any ideas and questions, let's gather again to discuss and brainstorm. The general direction remains the same, the goal remains the same, as long as it does not violate these two requirements, the specific details can be kept improving. It's not too early, it's time for lunch, you guys go. Fang Dunru stretched and said with a smile.

Several school inspectors stood up one after another and said, "Obey the order, we will retire." ”

Fang Dunru waved his hand and turned his head to talk to Yan Zhengsu. Tian Muyuan, Liu Xiding, and Du Wei gradually turned around and left, but Lin Jue stood still and did not move.

Yan Zhengsu saw Lin Jue's wooden pole in place, and said with a smile: "Lin Jue, what's the matter?" Want to invite us to dinner at noon? You went to visit me a few days ago, and I happened to be out of town, but I was neglected. When you are busy with this time, you go to my house, and I will treat you well. ”

Only then did Fang Dunru find that Lin Jue was still standing in place, and frowned: "What? Do you have something to say? ”

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Two adults, Lin Jue...... There are some things I want to say, but I don't know whether to say them or not. ”

Fang Dunru frowned and said, "What are you hypocritical, and what else do you think you shouldn't say?" If you have something to say, say it. ”

Yan Zhengsu also smiled: "Lin Jue, in front of us, you don't have to be restrained. I guess you have some idea about the Employment Act, right? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Exactly." Xia Guan did have some immature ideas. ”

Yan Zhengsu said: "Say it, after talking about brainstorming, you are naturally welcome to have ideas." ”

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Thank you, then the official will speak bluntly." After listening to the two adults' instructions on the goals and direction of the new law, Lin Jue was very impressed. The two adults really have insight into the overall situation, and they have their own hills and valleys in their hearts about the process of changing the law, and they are also implementing it step by step. Lin Jue only realized at this moment that the words that the two adults had said before had been preparing for the change for more than ten years, and they would never have such a clear idea of changing the law without more than ten years of deep understanding and thinking. The five-body body that Xia Guan admires is on the ground. ”

Fang Dunru frowned and reprimanded: "If you have an idea, just say it." When did you learn to be so oily and slippery? ”

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said: "Brother Dunru, why bother like this, let him say it." ”

Fang Dunru smacked his lips and snorted, Lin Jue hurriedly said: "I'm not beating around the bush, I'm just saying the admiration in my heart, if Mr. doesn't like it, I won't say this." Well...... Listening to the teachings of the two adults, I understand that the purpose of the "Employment Law" is to further supplement and deepen the "Changping New Law". If the Changping New Law is a beginning, the Employment Law is a further development on top of it. The "Changping New Law" solves the problem of the people's basic farming security and enthusiasm, and the "Employment Law" solves some problems of unfair distribution, excessive burdens on the people, and the return of displaced people to the land and redistribution of acres. I don't know if I understand it right. ”

"Hehehe, Lin Jue, your understanding is completely correct. You can understand it so thoroughly, you are worthy of being an official in the yamen of my regulations department. To be honest, many people do not understand the process and direction of the new law, let alone the intent of the law. Compared with you, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are confused. Yan Zheng stroking his beard and smiled.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Lord Yan praises falsely. Since the lower official understands correctly, the painstaking subordinate of the two adults is also self-conscious. If the Employment Law is successfully implemented, it will indeed reduce the labor and burden of the people. It will have a huge positive effect on production. It directly affects the financial taxation of the imperial court. Once the people are able to be content with production, an increase in fiscal and tax revenues is inevitable. ”

Fang Dunru said: "Do you still need to say this?" Didn't we tell you all about it before? That's all you have to say? ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Sir, Lord Yan." What the lower officials want to say is that although the intentions of the two adults are good, it is good whether the content of this regulation needs to be adjusted. Judging by the current intentions of the two adults, the lower officials have the courage to say a word that is not acceptable, and even if the "Employment Law" is enacted, its implementation will inevitably be full of resistance. Some irrational or radical practices in the regulations will not only arouse criticism, but also stir up waves. I am afraid that this will affect the blueprint for the overall process of change that the two adults have drawn in their minds. ”

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were both stunned when they heard this, Yan Zhengsu's brows furrowed, and Fang Dunru was already a little angry.

"I knew you had to say something like this, although you and I are only masters and apprentices, I know you very well now. What strange theories are you going to come up with? Is it something like 'step by step and not radical' or 'taking care of the interests of all parties so as not to exacerbate contradictions'? Fang Dunru shouted coldly.

Lin Jue bowed and said: "Sir, listen to me, the purpose of the "Employment Law" is to exempt the people from labor, so that the people have more time to spend on production and farming, which is understandable. It is not a big problem to let them pay some money after they are exempted from servitude. As long as the numbers are appropriate, it is acceptable not to become a burden on them. However, the extra money set up by the two adults was not supposed to be set up again. This is an additional payment that is allowed to be collected by the prefectures and counties, which is not in the right name, and is an additional burden, and should not be established. Not to mention that if you want to use this money to lend, this will be criticized as 'taking advantage of the people', and it is not an exaggeration to call it unreasonable exploitation. ”

"Bastard! How do you tune in with those people out there? The last time the "Changping New Law" was promulgated and the government issued loans to help the people, you echoed it. And now you're going to say that again? What exactly do you want to do? Fang Dunru shouted angrily.

The gentleman was angry, and the student was speaking from his heart. This is indeed suspected of benefiting the people. If the new law wants to convince the public, it must not leave too many criticisms. Moreover, to this day, students still think that the interest rate of official loans in the "Changping New Law" is too high, and the frequency is too frequent, which is afraid of bad consequences. The two adults also went down for a trip, and they must have seen some drawbacks. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Yan Zhengsu frowned and didn't speak, but at this moment, he also said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you are presumptuous. When the "Changping New Law" was promulgated, you came to make a fuss. We've explained it to you. I have already said in front of everyone that there will inevitably be some small drawbacks, but as long as the overall benefit is gained, how can we cover the whole with bias? The analogy I used to say is that if a person is going to die of illness because the drug is violent and will leave sequelae, he chooses to die of illness, or he still has to save his life. Don't you understand? I remember telling you about this example separately before, and you still don't understand it? As long as the general direction is correct, flaws in the process are inevitable, and those who do big things are not informal, why do you always hold on to these things? And with the same tone as the detractors out there, you're a little disappointed. ”

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Lord Yan, sir." I by no means mean to deliberately slander the new law, because the lower officials are worried that the process of changing the law as a whole will be frustrated. The purpose of changing the law is to achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army. I think that after these two new laws, the next new law may have to design changes in the army. If the implementation of these two new laws is full of problems, it will inevitably be impossible to carry out the reform of the law involving the military. Moreover, it will affect the safety and stability of the entire Great Zhou, and it is the last step to accomplish the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army. If the road ahead is not solid, there will be no road behind. Xia Guan came out to speak because he was worried about the overall goal, and I didn't want the hard work of the two adults to go to waste, and I didn't want to give up halfway. ”

"Hehe, so you are full of enthusiasm, but what does your enthusiasm show? Is it a constant accusation and denigration of the new law? Neither I nor Lord Yan are as good as you? You're worried, we're just messing around? Lin Jue, I really didn't expect you to be such an arrogant person. Fang Dunru sneered.

Lin Jue fell to his knees and said in a deep voice: "No matter how Mr. misunderstands me, I know what my purpose is. Students do not want to slander and sabotage, they hope that the reform of the law will go smoothly. The two adults' current changes are not radical. The drawbacks of the Employment Law are not limited to the surplus money, and the collection of labor assistance money is also debatable. It is an extremely unreasonable practice to collect labor support money below the third-class households, which is completely an act of exploitation of the third-class households. Even half the amount of silver was enough to carry a heavy burden on their shoulders. Coupled with the imposition of official loans and interest under the "Changping New Law", I am afraid that the result will be counterproductive. Not only is it not to save the people, but to harm the people. Although the purpose of the two lords was to force the rich to pay money to fill the treasury, or to force them to stop annexing the land and withdraw from the acres they occupied, the two lords thought that if you did this, you would be enemies of the scholars and doctors of the Great Zhou. What kind of consequences will this cause, have you ever thought about it? ”

Yan Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed. "Hahaha. What a generous statement. Lin Jue, Lin Jue, this official also mistook you. I thought you were a man of iron bones, and what you did before taught me to look up to you. But at this moment, when you say this, the old man is extremely disappointed in you. Don't you understand? From the very beginning of their decision to change the law, the official and the brother were ready to fight against those people. Changing the law is a battle, and your husband and I are facing those who only want to be selfish and ignore the country's social welfare. Yes, they are powerful, they are powerful, but so what? Brother Dun and I have no selfish desires, we are dedicated to the country, and we are dedicated to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The so-called desirelessness is rigid, where are we afraid of them? I thought that we still had helpers by our side, especially you Lin Jue, you should stand with us. But you also say such things? Are you scared? Hahaha. My husband and I are not afraid. I have praised you for being better than the blue, and for your courage and fearlessness, and it seems that I am about to take back these praises. As I said earlier, no matter how well the article and poetry are written, it is useless, and the key is action. It's a good reflection of that in you. Hehe, I don't know whether to be sad or sigh. Suddenly, suddenly, without seeing everyone. ”

Fang Dunru also sighed and shook his head, he looked at Lin Jue and said in a deep voice, "Lin Jue, did you hear it?" Lord Yan has always taken you seriously, but now you? Is it us or you who are wrong? What did you say? I see, you're here to persuade us for your father-in-law, right? That day, I asked you to persuade King Liang, hehe, it's better for you to be a lobbyist for him. You've also become a person who tends to be inflammatory, unwilling to take responsibility, and thinking about climbing up, right? You've completely changed. It's not so much that you're worried that the two of us won't be able to fight those people alone, it's that you're just worried about your future. Some things may disappoint you, Lord Yan and I will not fall, haven't those people in the DPRK and China already done it in the past few months? The emperor's folds were piled up in a mountain, all of which were slanders against us, so-called unreasonable complaints against the "Employment Law", and impeachment of me and Lord Yan. However, the emperor's ambition to change the law is very strong, and the saint is determined to change the law, and Lord Yan and I will never back down. So, they can't jump out of it. The Employment Law will definitely be carried out, and the law will definitely be changed. The goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army will certainly be achieved. To be honest, I'm very sad for you, but at the same time I'm glad to be happy. True warriors, true loyal ministers, true heroes, those who truly serve the country and the people, and those who are truly consistent with their words and deeds will stay, and the others will be washed away. Today you have shown your true face. If I thought you were just insightful, today I know that you are not the same as us. ”

Lin Jue's face turned red in a hurry, and he hurriedly distinguished: "Two adults, Lin Jue has no thoughts as you said, Lin Jue is really thinking about the matter of changing the law, for the sake of the two adults." The two adults misunderstood what I meant. I'm really ......."

"No more talk, I don't want to hear anything more about you. The so-called Tao is not the same, you and I are the fate of master and apprentice...... I'm afraid it's going to be over. Lin Jue, you know what kind of person I am, I can't rub sand in my eyes. But I'm actually pretty tolerant of you. Even if your behavior is out of line and your words are out of line, I can tolerate it. But I can't tolerate you disagreeing with me on important matters. Then the fate of you and my master and apprentice will not be able to continue. Today......"

Fang Dunru froze, a hesitant expression on his face. But what he didn't say was actually very clear, he was going to expel Lin Jue from the division. It's just that when the words came to his mouth, he looked at Lin Jue's painful face, and remembered all the things that had happened in the past and everything he had experienced between the master and apprentice. Thinking of the intimate relationship between Lin Jue and himself and his wife and daughter, the general love of a family, he really couldn't open his mouth.

Yan Zhengsu didn't want things to really turn into that situation, although he was extremely disappointed and angry with Lin Jue today, he still maintained a trace of calmness when he encountered something, so he said in time: "Brother Dunru, give him a chance." Maybe he was confused. Perhaps, he will figure it out. After all, it is a young person, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in making judgments on major matters of right and wrong. In my opinion, give him a chance to think about it. ”

Fang Dunru was indecisive. Yan Zhengsu turned to Lin Jue and sighed, "Lin Jue, look at what you have become angry with your teacher. You go back and think about it, don't go the wrong way. Not...... If you are given 10 days off, you will not be involved in the formulation of the regulations. Wait until you figure it out, and then come back to us. I don't want you to go the wrong way, and your teachers don't want you to go the wrong way. Reflect on yourself. ”

Lin Jue opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. The story of the wolf is the third time today, Fang Dunru has threatened himself in this way many times, and Lin Jue doesn't know what to say. Lin Jue always believed in his heart that the relationship between master and apprentice should not be used so badly, he cherished this affection, and should not be moved out as a reason to force himself because of disagreement. But it seems that the gentleman does not think so.

Lin Jue didn't dare to say more, because he didn't want the wolf to really come, and he was never willing to go to that extreme point. But Lin Jue also realized that he underestimated the self-confidence and determination of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. Or to say that they underestimated the stubbornness of these two people. They won't look back, they won't compromise, and they should have understood that from the beginning. Today, I wanted to express my worries and suggestions, and I had thought of a way to amend the regulations, which was to change the compulsory service money, which embarrassed vested interests, to a more acceptable voluntariness. By letting the emperor take the lead or rewarding and encouraging, let them pay in exchange for the court's commendation, so that the goal may also be achieved, without having to face them head-on. But now, it's all stillborn, and I can't say it. If you say it, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru will not agree. They just wanted to rush forward, and they were already on fire, and they didn't care.

Lin Jue actually felt a little sad for these two in his heart. Their motivation comes from the fact that they want to do things for the country in their hearts, and loyalty to the country is their driving force. On the other hand, they rely on the full support of the Holy Beings today. In a sense, Guo Chong's support is the confidence that they can fight for. But they may have been so preoccupied with rushing forward that they had forgotten whether the emperor who supported them would support them as he always did.

The way of the emperor is the art of balance, and it is impossible for any emperor to do something in the face of total opposition from the scholarly class. Especially the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is known as the dynasty where scholars and emperors share the world. If someone provokes an all-round attack on the new law, if the officials and wealthy families of the government and the opposition speak out together, even the emperor will have to pinch his legs and stomach and think about the consequences.

The result of leaving no way back is that there is no way back.
