After asking some more about the current situation of the three divisions, Zhao Zhen took out two books from his sleeve and asked Xu Ping: "Have you read these two books printed by Guozijian and Dujin Academy?" ”

"Yes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Xu Ping replied honestly.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and asked again: "What do you think of these two articles?" ”

There is not only one article in each book, Xu Ping thought for a while and had to ask honestly: "I don't know which two articles Your Majesty is talking about?" Shu Weichen read it, but he didn't find anything special. ”

"The article "Original Cheats" by Ouyang Xiu on the book of Guozijian, and the "Treatise on the Front of the Lizheng Yaqian" on the book of the Jinyuan Academy, these two articles are clearly opposed, what's going on? It turns out that your three divisions of the book company, the books printed are all specific affairs, and there has never been such a thing, but the books of these two yamen like to discuss the government and politics. ”

Xu Pingxin said, the books engraved by my three divisions are all facts, but you don't read the emperor. This kind of thing can't be hidden, sometimes when the palace is deliberating, it will take the content of the three divisions engraved book, Zhao Zhen often doesn't know. This is not unusual, as far as the content of the book published by the three divisions is concerned, people who are not very familiar with political affairs will doze off when they read it. The other two yamen are different, especially the books published by Guozijian, not to mention the content, the articles are all written by names, and the words and sentences alone are attractive.

After carefully recalling the content of the two articles, Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that these two articles are not a loss of nothing, but I am afraid that they are originally-for-tat." Ouyang Xiu's writing is brilliant, but the content of the article is not surprising, it is nothing more than a cliché. He said that there are three disadvantages of the current imperial court's agricultural administration, one is the disadvantage of tempting the people, the other is the disadvantage of annexation, and the other is the disadvantage of forced labor. What the Jinjuyuan talks about is the change in the township service that was determined in the Chinese book not long ago. Li Zheng Yaqian was a heavy service, because there were a lot of bankrupt people in this service, and the Zhongshu changed to this service for two terms without offense, so that the army general could be supplemented, and the errand service was changed to a public official, and the people were no longer victimized. Ouyang Xiu said that it was a disadvantage of tempting the people, and the Du Jinyuan said that the benefits of changing the service to the officials were just-for-tat, but I was afraid that it was not unintentional. ”

"Exactly. What do you think of the two companies' statements? ”

"It's all reasonable, but it's all biased."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You are a slippery and non-slippery character, now we monarchs and ministers speak, what are you taboo!" I thought that Ouyang Xiu's words were very reasonable, and they were right to the point. According to the Dujin Academy, although it is a moral policy, it is not a long-term way. Ouyang Xiu asked me to use Ainong, shouldn't it? It is also appropriate to be frugal in the palace. ”

Xu Ping pondered for a while, everything Ouyang Xiu said did make sense, but in the final analysis, it was based on relying on small homesteaders in the countryside, which was also the political correctness of this era. However, the founding of the Great Song Dynasty did not suppress annexation, and the basis of rural rule was no longer homesteaders, which was the reality of this era. It sounds correct, but it doesn't match reality at all, which is exactly the characteristic of those who have no actual political experience.

The political claims of these new scholars are mainly derived from books. In terms of agricultural policy, one direction is to restore the rule of three generations and restore the well-field system. The other direction is to be nostalgic for the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty, combine it with the military system, return to the era of small homesteaders, and at the same time reintroduce the government military system.

The latter is attractive to the monarch. The Great Song Dynasty established the country, and since Taizu has been repeatedly defeated in foreign wars, the eight-sided majesty of foreign races in the early Tang Dynasty military is fascinating, and he wants to reproduce that time. Many of the later reforms, in the general direction, were trying to move closer to that era, and when Nai changed things, they were all freaks.

From Xu Ping's point of view, this actually represents two very different ideas. The essence of the well field system was not to return to slavery, but to be a collective system, replacing the small-scale peasant economy of one household with collectivized production. On the other hand, the military system of the Juntian Prefecture is based on the small-scale peasant economy of one household and serves as the support of the state.

Neither direction can be said wrong, the problem is that it is out of place. Today's reality is that the rural political foundation of the imperial court lies in between, and it is not feasible to lean in either direction, and it will only mess up the countryside.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Just say, tonight, our monarchs and ministers will talk about their hearts, and there is no need to taboo anything!"

"Then I'll be blunt." Xu Ping tried to think about the wording. "Regarding Ouyang Xiu's statement, I can only say that it is all reasonable, but there is nowhere to start when I do it. Say it little by little. The so-called disadvantages of tempting the people, if it is a monk like a monk who sits idly by and does not do farming, it is indeed inappropriate to sit on the food and make a lot of profits. They live a prosperous and leisurely life, which is the disadvantage of tempting the people not to work and being idle, and it is strictly forbidden to do so. But as a soldier and an official, he always does things for the court, and he can't be confused. As long as they are attentive, they should not be made to become lazy people, but should become the pillars of the court. As for the disadvantages of annexation, although the imperial court did not suppress annexation, taxation has always been imposed on the upper class, and it cannot be said that this policy is wrong because there are officials who have committed fraud. How to suppress mergers? Is it possible to collect the fields of the world and redistribute them according to Dingkou? Your Majesty, this cannot be done. ”

Playing land reform in this era, and not changing the dynasty, isn't this going to cause chaos in the world? Xu Ping has memories of his previous life, so he naturally knows the difficulties of rural land reform, and when the Tang Dynasty founded the country, the granting of land did not affect the interests of the family, not to mention that at this time, there were no more families, so it was to push all the people who had land in the world to their opposite.

"As for the disadvantages of forced labor, according to what Ouyang Xiu said, I don't want the court to recruit officials, and I want to reduce forced labor, so what should I do? The affairs of the countryside are left alone by the court, who will be in charge? Don't say that all the people in the world are good people, and there are no traitors. There is no government and the people are self-governing, that's just talking, how can there be that truth in the world! ”

Zhao Zhen frowned, a little unhappy. He originally admired what Ouyang Xiu said, but who knew that Xu Ping's mouth was useless, and it sounded a little unpleasant.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhen said: "If there is nothing to do today, but there is no improvement in the government, and there are a lot of complaints from top to bottom." When I ascend to the Great Treasure, I must change something, how can I continue to follow this path? What Ouyang Xiu said may be out of place, but it always has to be changed, and it is right to change it! Last month, the imperial court issued an edict to let the subjects of the world speak, only Li Shuyan said ten things, which can be regarded as intentions, and the other officials are all false stories, which are useless. ”

Li Shu is the son of Li Ruogu, and Ren Zhihe is known at this time. Xu Ping also saw the ten things he was on, it looked gorgeous, and he said thousands of words, but the operability was really poor, and he was not much higher than Ouyang Xiu.

Li Zheng Yaqian was changed from a military officer to a public official, and Xu Ping's military case was a specific yamen, and he said too much, which made Zhao Zhen's heart have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. (To be continued.) )
