There is no major war in the northwest, and Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, who have become famous in recent years, have been transferred to the imperial court as rulers and are being relied on by the emperor. The patriarch Lu Yijian asked the old man to resign, and the Taiwei Zhishi also consciously made way for the newcomer. At this time, the whole body was united, and there was a vigorous atmosphere of reform in the imperial court.

Tianzhangge asked correctly, the emperor gave Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi pen and paper, and they were allowed to go out only if they had countermeasures. The two of them played separately, and together they were ten things. The ten things that were played on this stage, which the emperor accepted almost without discount, were the beginning of the Qingli New Deal that Du Zhongxiao had learned in the history books of his previous life.

After receiving the report, Du Zhongxiao read these ten strategies over and over again many times, hoping to combine reality and find out the deep meaning that he didn't realize in his previous life. Countless brain cells were wasted, and the result was really disappointing.

Ten strategies, one is to depose the Ming Dynasty, the second is to suppress luck, the third is to pay tribute, the fourth is to select officials, the fifth is to choose public fields, the sixth is to be thick and mulberry, the seventh is to repair military equipment, the eighth is to reduce the forced service, the ninth is to Qin Enxin, and the tenth is to give heavy orders.

Du Zhongxiao memorized almost all of these ten strategies, and after careful consideration, he finally came to a conclusion that he was unwilling to teach, that is, it was useless for literati to talk about politics. Such ten opinions should not have been put forward by Zai Zhi. Perhaps the emperor was too anxious, Fan and Han didn't understand the situation when they first returned to the capital, and they were too cautious and cautious, too fake.

If you are an ordinary reader, or if you are doing a history class in later generations, it is barely reasonable to put forward such ten opinions. Or more colloquially, this is the answer given by the exercises in history class, not the answers to the exercises in politics class.

Based on Du Zhongxiao's experience in political classes in the previous world, the first thing to answer the emperor at this time is to answer what is the problem he is facing now, and the second is to answer what is the main contradiction and what the secondary contradiction is. In view of the problems and contradictions, what aspects should we start with, what kind of reform measures should be adopted, and the positive aspects of the contradictions should be carried forward and the negative aspects should be changed, so as to solve the problems we are facing. In this way, we can formulate general reform steps, what should be done in the first step, what goals should be achieved, how to do in the second step, what goals should be achieved, and the problems faced should be solved one by one.

It's a pity that in these ten strategies, there are only four words for the problems faced by the imperial court, internal and external troubles. As for the internal worries and the manifestations of external troubles, I am not clear. The solution to the problem is to grab the eyebrows and mustaches, and most of them are clichés.

These questions don't need Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, just a few ministers can raise them. The same is true for the solution, as long as the ministers of the two systems are gathered for discussion, there will definitely be no less than ten reform measures coming out. Why Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi? Du Zhongxiao's guess is not because only the two of them have this insight and ability, but because the two of them are young and strong, and they are coerced by the Northwest. All in all, it was the emperor himself who was dissatisfied with the government of the previous years, dissatisfied with the old man in power, and the reform was the means, the purpose of which was to achieve the replacement of the old and the new.

This is a reform for the sake of reform, and there is no clear goal, let alone a clear program, and there are no practical measures and steps. From the outset, it was a reform that was doomed to fail. For the emperor, as long as the replacement of the old and the new government is completed, the purpose of reform will be achieved. And then what? There is nothing to be done with those reforms.

The public land in the Ten Policies does not involve the land system, but actually refers to the land of officials, and it is related to the treatment of officials. Therefore, the ten policies can be roughly divided into several aspects, such as the Ming Dynasty, the suppression of luck, the fine tribute, the selection of officials, the Jungongtian, the Qin Enxin, and the heavy order, which are all about the selection, appointment, and promotion of officials, and belong to the improvement of the officials and the administrative system; Thick agriculture and reduced labor are among the encouraged agriculture; The main content of repairing armaments is to strengthen the military system, and the main content is to gradually restore the military system of the early Tang Dynasty.

If we categorize these reform measures, we can see that they are basically clichés. Judging from the perspective of Du Zhongxiao's later generations, several items are still turning back history. For example, the Jinggong Ju is not how to change the examination system, but to strengthen the weight of the inspection in the selection of officials, that is, to require the children to have both ability and political integrity. Increasing the proportion of recommendations during the state examination and canceling the transcription of the seal is similar to the reduction of the proportion of scores in the college entrance examination in Du Zhongxiao's previous life. Of course, Fan Zhongyan is a great Confucian in the world, and he really has high requirements for the moral level of officials. For example, in the case of military military repair, the proposal is to gradually change back to the government military system of the early Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether the current land system no longer has the conditions for the implementation of the government military system, and whether or not a qualified army can be cultivated under the government military system. Not to mention how much weight the government soldiers occupied in the early Tang Dynasty war, the number of years that the early Tang Dynasty maintained combat effectiveness was not many more years than the number of years that the forbidden army maintained combat effectiveness in the early Song Dynasty. This kind of reform of the military system is actually changing the social system, and the real military system of this era has not been changed in the slightest.

As for Hounongsang, it is said in the court, from generation to generation, year after year, there are no real reform measures, and saying it is equivalent to not saying it. The reduction of forced labor, which seems to be the most probable, is unlikely to be implemented because there is no awareness of the tax and administrative costs.

What a big deal in the history of the Qingli New Deal? Du Zhongxiao originally held out hope. Knowing that this day was near, after he took up his post here in Yongcheng, he kept an eye on Ma Meng on the one hand, hoping to clear the place, and on the other hand, he did not relax at all on the cultivation of fields. I just want to take this opportunity to make some real achievements, and don't miss this historical tide. However, when he really saw the reform measures, he poured cold water on his head.

According to historical knowledge, the biggest impact of the Qingli New Deal is that it opened the dispute between gentlemen and villains. Now Du Zhongxiao finally understands why this is the result. The emperor reformed for the sake of reform, there was no program and no goal, but the old and the new were replaced, what else was there besides party struggle?

After seeing all this in the past month, Du Zhongxiao was a little disheartened about the major affairs of the government and politics, and put all his thoughts on his own one-third of an acre. It is precisely because of this that I will feel the feeling and read that poem. There is no rain cover for the lotus, and there are still proud frost branches in the chrysanthemum. Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi pointed the sharp blade of reform at the rule of officials at this time, and in fact, they wanted to overturn the existing pattern of interests, and they naturally had the backbone. But how much does this really mean to the country as a whole, to the general public? The good times of the year are in the harvest season of orange, yellow, orange and green. Winter is coming, will spring be far away? The cold winter is full of wind and bones, but the most important thing is to be busy for the coming spring, and Du Zhongxiao can't see these in the Ten Strategies of the Qingli Calendar. It is precisely because of this that in the past, the Qingli New Deal passed, except for the party strife left behind, and there was no trace of it after a few years.

In Du Zhongxiao's previous life, reform was a banner, and as long as the historical events were stained with these two words, they were worthy of special mention. And there must be a conservative who fights the reformers as if at war. However, in this era, whether it is the New Deal or the reform, it is only a name given by later generations. At least for the Confucian nouveau riche who had just gained a foothold through the imperial examinations, they were not ready for reform to usher in a new era.

Cheng County Lieutenant and Zheng Sili ate so smoothly that they kept picking up slices of meat and stuffing them in the pot. After a while, the tahini sauce in the dipping sauce became lighter, and the meat slices finally showed a delicious meat taste in his mouth, and Cheng County Lieutenant almost had a feeling of tears.

After a glass of wine, Du Zhongxiao looked up, only to find that the three plates of meat slices had bottomed out, and everyone was still unsatisfied, so they hurriedly asked Chai Xin to bring out two more plates. The meat slices were served, and Du Zhongxiao said: "I slaughtered a sheep today, in addition to picking up the meat and cutting these meat slices, the rest was cooked with the meat and bones." It must be crispy now, so let's serve it together. After a few days of hard work, let's make up for it together. ”

Chai Xin promised, turned around and went to the house. In a moment, a large basin was carried out with an attendant, which was full of mutton.

County Lieutenant Cheng's eyes straightened, and he really didn't know what to say. I saw only three plates of meat just now, so I was afraid that I would eat less, so I stuffed it into my mouth when it was half-cooked when I was shabu-shabu. Where did he think that his stomach was full, and Du Zhongxiao moved another mountain of meat out.
