Thank you very much for the reward from Song Song'er!

Luo Xin smiled and said: "In this way, this exile is also a blessing for you, allowing you to understand how to govern the country." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fang Zigen's old face was even redder. Luo Xin stood up and bowed to Fang Zigen:

"Mr. Fang, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department on Taiwan Island, and the Criminal Department will be handed over to you."

Fang Zigen's face was excited, and he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Ministers Fang Zigen greets His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Luo Xin stretched out his hand to help Fang Zigen and said, "Fang Shangshu, I hope you can keep your heart." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty. Fang Zigen said solemnly.

The people around looked at Fang Zigen with envious eyes, and suddenly changed from an exiled sinner to a criminal department scholar, which was really a step to the sky. Luo Xin heard Fang Zigen call him His Majesty at this time, and his heart was also happy, and suddenly a thought appeared in his heart, do you want to take away the Ming Dynasty? Thinking of the people in the war, Luo Xinqiang suppressed this thought, and looked at the remaining two people, one of whom spoke:

"Your Majesty, the students think that it is not enough to have a system. Qin's demise is inseparable from his emphasis on legalism, no matter how perfect the system is, no matter how harsh it is, it can't lock people's hearts. Therefore, virtue is needed to make up for it. The law is a sharp weapon hanging over people's heads, and virtue is the spring breeze that educates people's hearts. The rigidity of the law, virtue is softness, and the combination of rigidity and softness is the foundation of governing the country. ”

Luo Xin's heart couldn't help but be surprised again, he didn't expect to spend money to save more than 100 people and pick up the treasure. However, if he still wants to establish Confucianism with all his might, it is not advisable in Luo Xin's heart.

In Luo Xin's heart, all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought have their importance, and the Li Dynasty, which respected Confucianism, was a failure of the past dynasties.

For example, the farmer's house is to establish agriculture and cure the root cause. Mojia, that is the scientist. Zonghengjia, that is, diplomats. A soldier, that is, a military strategist. Yin-Yang family, that is, geographers and so on. In history, only Legalism, Taoism and Confucianism were regarded as the rulers of the country.

Qin is based on Legalism, although it ended in failure, but Qin is a strong country, which no one can deny. In the Qin period, Qin defeated the foreign tribes and did not dare to face the Great Qin. That is to say, Qin was destroyed from within, not from without. It can be seen that Legalism is also the ideological system of a strong country.

The Han Dynasty took Taoism as the foundation of the country, and the famous Wenjing rule in history appeared. Although Emperor Wu Liu Che claimed to be the sole respect for Confucianism, it seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the source of Confucianism's prosperity. But if you take a serious look at the ministers around Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, there are very few Confucian people above the court, very few, but there are many other princes, especially Taoist and Legalist courtiers. Therefore, before the Han Dynasty, the foundation of the rule of Wenjing was Taoism, and the Han Dynasty was a statecraft with Legalism, Taoism and Confucianism as the main ideological system. And Confucianism had very little say in the Han Dynasty. It was Taoism that really played a leading role.

Needless to say, the strength of the Han Dynasty is not much to say, there is a saying in history that the Han Dynasty is that all dynasties died because of weakness, and the Han Dynasty died because of strength. The Han drove the Xiongnu away from the desert, which shows how strong the Han was. The Huns' fear of Han has reached the bones. So Han still died inside, not outside. It can be seen that Taoism is the ideological system of a powerful country.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought had disappeared, and the officials in the court were all Confucian children, and Confucius was revered as a sage. However, the Song Dynasty was destroyed by Jin in the end, and it was a typical death outside, not inside. As for the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism had reached its peak status, but in the end it was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, and it was another one who died outside, not inside. In this way, it can be seen that Confucianism is a system of thought that makes the country weak. Therefore, if the person in front of him proposes to respect Confucianism, although Luo Xin will still use him, he will not reuse it. So Ning Sheng asked:

"How to establish morality?"

"Confucianism is an important idea of virtue, but it is too restrictive to people, especially Zhu Xi's scientific thoughts. Therefore, Confucianism alone is not enough, Taoism should also be added. The integration of Taoism and Confucianism is the foundation of morality. ”

Luo Xin was interested in the people in front of him, and bowed his hand and said, "What do you call Mr." ”

The man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's name is Zhou Xian." ”

"Before Mr. Zhou?"

"Students are in the Ministry of Rites!" Zhou Xian also blushed and said: "The student is just a micro-official in the Ministry of Rites, and he was just thinking about how to be promoted before, and these insights were all obtained after being exiled. ”

Luo Xin nodded, very happy in his heart, and bowed his hand to Zhou Xian: "Zhou Xian, in the future, you will be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and your task will be very heavy." The island of Taiwan is still an undeveloped barbarian land, and the task of educating the natives is left to you. ”

Zhou Xian also knelt down and said: "Minister Zhou Xian thanks Your Majesty, and position Your Majesty to do your best." ”

"Zhou Shangshu, please get up!"

Luo Xin picked up Zhou Xian with both hands, and then looked at the last person who had not made a sound. When the man saw Luo Xin looking over, he bowed his hand and said:

"Taxes! Taxation is the foundation of the country. When a family has no money, they can only sell their sons and daughters, and when they have no money, they even sell themselves into slavery. If a country runs out of money, the people will rebel. Today's Da Ming has shown a trend of decline, which can be seen from the fact that he can no longer make money. ”

Luo Xin's eyes lit up, and finally someone said about taxes, so he immediately asked, "How to solve taxes?" ”

"The problem of the Ming Dynasty is that there is nowhere to collect taxes, because there are only 20% of the land that can be taxed in the world, and the remaining 80% is already in the name of the powerful and scholars, which is a group exempted from taxes by the Ming Dynasty. If we want this problem not to arise, we must abolish the national policy of tax exemption, and tax tax on land instead of capitation. It doesn't matter who he is, what his status and status is, how much land you own, how much tax you have to pay. ”

Luo Xin nodded happily, this is a whip method of Zhang Juzheng during the Wanli period, but Zhang Juzheng did not fight those families in the end, thinking that the national policy of tax exemption for scholars has been deeply rooted, and Zhang Juzheng can't fight a group alone.

But......

Today's Luoxin is different.

The island of Taiwan is a blank sheet of paper, there is no famous family at all, Luo Xin can draw how he wants, and there will be no resistance at all.

Listening to the person talking endlessly, Luo Xin's heart became more and more surprised, this is simply a copy of Zhang Juzheng's whip method, although there are still some differences, but the distance is not far away. Immediately asked:

"What do you call him?"

"Student Cui Hao."

"You and the Cui family?"

"I have nothing to do with the Cui family."

"Before you?"

"The students used to live in the household department." Cui Hao smiled awkwardly and said: "These tax methods were all figured out by myself when I was in the household department. ”

Luo Xinzhong was even more surprised, this Cui Hao is talented, not because he was exiled that he began to think about these things, but he had already accumulated them in normal times, so he asked:

"Mr. Cui, if you have such a talent, why don't you report this tax method to your superiors, or directly give a recital to Your Majesty?"

Cui Hao held back for a long time and said: "Don't dare, if this tax method can be implemented, it will naturally be able to make the country rich and the people strong." But if you want to carry it out, you will definitely offend the powerful people of the whole world, and the powerful families of the whole world will crush me to powder. It was only after I got drunk and told my colleagues about my thoughts, and the powerful families regarded me as a beast of prey, and charged me with a crime, and exiled me to Ningguta, where my wife and son died......"

Speaking of this, Cui Hao couldn't cry anymore. When he cried, the rest of the people also remembered their sadness and began to cry too. Luo Xin did not ask them one by one why they were exiled, and the people in this must have deserved their guilt. But now Luo Xin lacks readers, even if he has no ability, he can teach. Because after Luo Xin occupied the island of Taiwan, he educated the natives, and the future officials had to be selected from the natives, after all, the people who went to Taiwan Island from the Ming Dynasty were still too few compared with the natives of Taiwan, so they were needed to teach.

And after these people have gone through this exile, their thinking must have changed, and they will cherish the opportunity even more. Luo Xin then saluted Cui Hao and said:

"Cui Hao, from now on, you are the head of the household."

"Minister Cui Hao greets Your Majesty!" Cui Hao knelt down and thanked him.

Luo Xin helped Cui Hao up and said, "You start sorting out the tax method from today, how much time will you need?" ”

"Three days!" Cui Hao groaned for a while.

"I'll come back here in three days and show me the manuscript you've put together."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luo Xin looked at Zhou Xian again: "Zhou Shangshu, how much time does it take for you to sort out the method of virtue?" ”

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said, "I already have relatively mature methods in my heart, and I will write them out in three days." ”

"Good!" Luo Xin nodded, and looked at Fang Zigen again, and Fang Zigen hurriedly spoke:

"Your Majesty gave me three days."

"Well, I'll come and see your manuscript in three days. The three of you will first put up the shelves of the Criminal Department, the Rite Department and the Household Department, and then divide the rest of these people into the three of you leaders. After arriving in Taiwan, there are talents suitable for a certain aspect, you can recommend them to Luo Sheng, and build all the shelves of the six departments for me. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everything was difficult, and I hope that you can join hands to build a peaceful country for all eternity and realize our ideals. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the people fell to their knees.

Luo Xin left this courtyard, and came to the courtyard of those craftsmen, gathered those craftsmen together, after reading the roster, he was very satisfied with Tang Zhuang, these craftsmen almost included talents from all walks of life, and even the gunpowder bureau in the capital dug up some craftsmen, these craftsmen are amazing, and two of them can also make muskets.

Luo Xin didn't say too much to them, among these people, there were also people who knew Luo Xin, the two people from the gunpowder bureau in the capital, and a few people in the southeast who could build ships. They had all seen Luo Xin, so when they entered the manor and saw Luo Xin, they were shocked beyond their hearts, they didn't expect that it was Luo Xin who hired them.

They didn't know what Luo Xin, who was a martial marquis and a great Confucian, hired them for, and there were so many people hired that they were both excited and uneasy in their hearts. Luo Xin saw their expressions, and said with a gentle smile on his face:

"I think some of you know me, and now you all know who I am."

"Meet your lord!"

Hulala knelt down, Luo Xin waved his hand to let them get up and said: "You live here temporarily, I, Luo Xin, promise you here, I will not only give you a high salary, but also give you the corresponding status, you can live with peace of mind." Is there anyone literate here? ”

Two people came out of the crowd, bowed and saluted: "Adult, villain is literate." ”

"Oh?" Luo Xin glanced at the two of them, in this era, it is not easy for craftsmen to be able to read. After a little thought, he said:

"To what extent?"

The two said: "The two of us are brothers, and the ancestors of the family are also scholars, but we are not angry in our generation." The level of the two of us should be equivalent to that of a child. ”

Luo is overjoyed in his faith, which is equivalent to a child's birth, which means that the two of them basically recognize the words, and they can also understand the meaning of the words.

"Okay, from now on, you are the leader of these them, give you two brothers a task, in the next period of time, the two of you don't have to do anything else, just teach the remaining craftsmen to read, the more people who know, the more important the official will be in the future."

"Yes, sir!" The two brothers were happy in their hearts, and they were also teachers.

"What's your two names?"

"Villain Li Jibin."

"Villain Li Jiwu."

"Good job."

Luo Xin stood up, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and then walked out, and ordered someone to immediately buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and enlightenment reading materials to send to those craftsmen, and then returned to his study and called Tang Zhuang to the front of him:

"Tang Zhuang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard!" Tang Zhuang shook his head, and then looked a little hesitant. Luo Xin smiled and said, "But because of the gold and silver? ”

Tang Zhuang showed embarrassment on his face, nodded and said, "Master Hou, the dart game is already unsustainable. ”

"How much money will you spend?"

Tang Zhuang hurriedly took out an account book from his baggage and handed it to Luo Xindao: "I have already spent one hundred and thirty thousand six hundred and thirty-two taels of silver. ”

Luo Xin has made a windfall now, and he has 2.3 million taels of silver in this Zhuangzi alone, so naturally he will not worry about the silver anymore. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Tang Zhuang, don't worry, I have prepared 1.3 million taels of silver for you. And the rescue of the exiled scholars and the recruitment of craftsmen can also be stopped. Unless there is an opportunity to recruit real master craftsmen. It won't cost you anything. As for the 8,000 experienced veterans from the north that you promised me at the beginning, there are still more than 4,000 left, and it shouldn't cost much. ”

Tang Zhuang's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he stood up excitedly and said, "Master Hou, with this 1.3 million taels of silver, my subordinates will be able to drive the dart game south to Lingnan and north to the desert within three years. At that time, not only will the wealth be rolling in, and the news of the world will enter the ears of Hou Ye, but it will also form a huge force. When the time comes, Hou Ye will shout, not to mention that the people who respond are like clouds, even the fierce generals under him will not be less than 100. ”
