Chapter 185: Debate (Part II)

Please enter the text. Yu Wen sighed, didn't say anything, got up and walked to the window, and looked at the scholars on the street, the scholars were talking one after another, and the voices were so loud that they could hear it clearly even if they stood upstairs.

There were also people in the teahouse opposite, and through the curtain, the figure was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but show a smile.

"This Sheng Huai!" he said, shaking his head slightly.

"Sheng Huai is on the other side. Lu Qiao asked, Yu Wen nodded, with some disdain in his expression: "Yuanshan, what do you mean by Chaoli?"

"It's not going well, Pan Lian is as timid as a mouse, it's hard to count on. Lu Qiao's tone was very dissatisfied.

"This new tax system is not just for our Yangzhou scholars, they can't stand idly by. ”

"Probably not, if they're going to do that, we're not fools. ”

Lu Qiao didn't have a bottom in his heart, since the imperial court decided to implement a new tax system in Yangzhou, the gate lords of the scholars from all over the country sent them a lot of letters, without exception, asking them to resist, and they must not let Pengzhu succeed, if necessary, they will support it.

But having said that, Lu Qiao still didn't dare to pin too much hope, the contradiction between the Jiangnan Shi clan and the Central Plains Shi clan has a long history, taking the officials of the DPRK and China as an example, the Jiangnan Shi clan has the least number of officials in the DPRK except for Liangzhou, which is less than the southernmost Jiaozhou, what is the reason, everyone knows it.

As the leader of the Jiangnan Gate Lords, Lu Qiao has dealt too much with the Central Plains Gate Lords, and the Jiangnan Clans have been betrayed too many times, and the lessons are too profound.

If there was any other choice, he would definitely not cooperate with those Central Plains warriors.

The middle-aged man came in again, Lu Qiao took the record, looked up and said to Yu Wen: "It's still the Ming Gong who knows people." ”

Yu Wen didn't look at it at all, let Lu Qiao hand over the record to Zhang Xing, Zhang Ying shook his head while looking at it, if the first record, the two sides also come and go, and there are attacks and defenses against each other, then this one, Mr. Zhizhen is losing and retreating.

Lu Qiao didn't answer, his eyes stared at the teahouse opposite, he wanted to know what Sheng Huai's mood was now.

--------------------------------------

"The saint system ceremony, not for the upper and lower humble, in ancient times, there was no difference between the scholars, the monarch can walk the countryside, when how to come to the scholars.

The sage's ritual is to educate the countryside, and to educate the countryside is to be virtuous, so the foundation of the ritual is in virtue, and the appearance is in the law. ”

Wang Bo read aloud, Sheng Huai was dressed in cloth, holding a blue and white teacup in his hand, gently stroking the tea.

"This Gu Wei is amazing! Mr. Zhizhen is afraid that he will not be able to. Wang Bo raised his head and sighed, Gu Wei actually refuted Mr. Zhizhen's gift in such a short period of time.

Sheng Huai took a sip of tea and said lightly: "If Gu Wei doesn't have some real talent and real learning, how dare he single out Jiangnan Shilin and Mr. Zhizhen to study these rituals, hoping to restore the ancient rituals and get into the tip of the horns." ”

Deng Run's face was worried, he was not very interested in this debate, the battlefield was not here, but in the imperial capital, no matter what happened here, it could not decide the victory or defeat, at most it was to build momentum.

Gu Wei is very shrewd, and this debate has two purposes, one is to explain and win over Shilin, and the other is to build momentum and create momentum for the new tax.

"Ten years of forbearance, once you have your will, hum. Sheng Huai said softly, Deng Run knew that he didn't say it later, so he took the order to do it, or it can be said that he showed his ambitions.

In the eyes of old bureaucrats such as Sheng Huai and Deng Run, this debate is neither important nor important, but it is just a prelude to the attack and defense of the court.

Today's eyes are gathered in Yangzhou!

And Gu Wei is the center of the world's attention!

"Your Excellency!"

There was a sound of proclamation outside the door, Wang Bo opened the door, and the young man sent it again, Wang Bo looked at it and said, "Mr. Jumu has made a move." ”

"Mr. Zhizhen is in the name of etiquette," Sheng Huai shook his head and said: "Mr. Jumu has studied the theory deeply, and the doctrine of the previous generation of sage Tu Kun believes that it is necessary to establish the sky, the earth, and the people; ”

-----------------------------------------

"Mr. believes that when things are known, what are things? Things are the people, they are the people of the world, and only by knowing the pain of the people can we govern the country and level the world. ”

"Where is the pain of all the peoples? There is no food, there is no land, this is the hardship of the world. Gu Wei calmly and calmly: "Since the founding of my Taizu, there are millions of acres of land, which can support tens of millions of people, but now the people are displaced, Yangzhou is rich, but there are groups of displaced people outside the city, the suffering of the people, the pain of the people, the court has the heart to help, but it is unable to help, what is the reason?

Mr. Jumu was silent, half loud, and then sighed for a long time: "My generation studied the Taoist scriptures, knew the rites of the sages, and the sages of the past dynasties were all pursuing the long-term stability of the family and the country. ”

"Since the imperial court decided to implement the new system, can the new system solve the pain of the people and the difficulties of the imperial court?"

Gu Wei smiled, but he didn't answer, turned his head to Liu Han and said, "Brother Liu, you might answer Mr. Jumu's question?"

Before Liu Han could speak, Mr. Jumu was already a little surprised, and asked, "Liu also has research on this?" If you can solve the old man's confusion, please give me advice." ”

Liu Han was secretly vigilant in his heart, and was about to excuse himself with a wry smile, but Mr. Jumu said again: "Liu is full of poetry all over the world, if you can solve the old man's confusion, the old man is grateful." ”

Liu Han smiled bitterly, and bowed slightly to Jumu: "Mr. is falsely praised, if you talk about the sage's subtle words, the younger generation will not dare to sit down with you gentlemen, but if you talk about taxes, you can also talk about my opinion." ”

"Today's debate is for the court and the world, and if you don't understand, don't open your mouth. ”

Liu Han looked up and saw that it was actually Wei Dian, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said calmly: "Mr. Wei said it very well, since it is a matter of the world, then everyone in the world can speak." ”

This is very true, Brother Wei doesn't have to care. ”

Since Mr. Jumu spoke, Wei Dian couldn't say anything, he snorted dissatisfiedly, Liu Han didn't continue to pursue, and said: "The sage said that the world is bustling, all for profit;

The people of the world are divided into groups, the highest is the royal family, followed by the scholar family, then the Shu family, and then the commoners and slaves, and the slaves do not care about him, they are dependent on their masters; the problem now is that the royal family and the scholar family are too much divided, and the Shu family and the commoners are too little.

What's worse is that the royal family and the scholars do not pay taxes, the Shu people and commoners only pay taxes, and the royal families and scholars who have a lot of wealth do not pay taxes, so the taxes of the imperial court are all added to the Shu people and the commoners, and the Shu civilians are overwhelmed, and they either sell their land to the royal families and scholars who do not pay taxes, or simply abandon their homes and become exiles.

Therefore, the land that the imperial court can collect taxes is getting less and less, and the tax revenue is getting less and less, and the state is becoming more and more insufficient, and this is still the case that the imperial court is not responsible for the salaries of local officials. ”

"Ridiculous, what kind of state is insufficient, what is the comparison between today and the most righteous time, the most righteous fashion and there is no such thing as insufficient state use, how can there be a saying that the state is insufficient today! It is clear that the imperial court is overjoyed and abused state funds!" Wei Dian could not bear it and refuted loudly.

Mr. Jumu frowned, how can this Wei Dian get more and more excited the older he gets, and all the kung fu to nourish his qi has gone there.

"Mr. Wei's words are wrong, since the emperor ascended the throne, there has been no draft girl, and second, there has been no major construction project, how can he waste national funds!" Gu Wei's retort was very modest in tone, but there was no ambiguity in the available words, which means that you are talking nonsense, the emperor is very diligent and thrifty, and there is a waste of public money.

Gu Wei hit the key point of Wei Dian, almost everyone disagreed, although they opposed the emperor's new system, but they were not to the extent of opening their eyes and talking nonsense.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to repairing the mausoleum for the first emperor, he has neither repaired the palace nor selected a large number of women, so you can't blame the emperor for extravagance.

But Gu Wei did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and instead said to Mr. Jumu: "Brother Liu's words are the predicament of the imperial court at the moment, taking Yangzhou as an example, how much land does the scholar clan in Yangzhou occupy, and how much land does the vassal king occupy. ”

Gu Wei picked up an account book and said, " In Yangzhou, the feudal kings and officials at all levels of the office field occupy a total of 60% of the land in Yangzhou, and only 40% of the land can be used for the imperial court to collect taxes, and push forward, to the early stage, the feudal king's clan and the official division field only accounts for about 40% of the land, but in the past ten years, the land annexation has increased, rising to 60%, the direct consequence is that the imperial court's tax revenue in Yangzhou has dropped from 6 million to 3 million, plus the loss of salt tax, the total tax revenue of the imperial court in Yangzhou has dropped to 5 million, and in the Taizong period, Yangzhou's tax revenue is as high as 12 millionοΌŸβ€

After Gu Wei finished speaking, none of the famous and noble mountain chiefs sitting there spoke, and the venue fell into silence, silent for a while, and Wei Dian said: "Millennial field, eight hundred lords, land annexation is a natural occurrence, some people are diligent and thrifty, some people are poor and extravagant, and the circulation of land is very normal, so it is unreasonable to attribute it to the scholars." ”

Gu Wei shook his head: "The old man's words seem to have some truth, but in fact, in the same field, some people pay taxes, and some people don't pay taxes, the income from paying taxes is much less, the savings are much less, and the ability to resist disasters is much worse;

Wei Dian rose up against it: "Back then, Taizu and the Shi clan swore an oath to share the world, the expediency of the Shi clan will never change, the Shi clan is the foundation of the world, and the new system will shake the country's foundation." ”

"The foundation of the world is that the people are not the scholars, and the rights and interests of the scholars are also like this, but why did the Great Zhou die in my Great Jin?"

Gu Wei's counterattack was very sharp, the previous dynasty and the Great Zhou were also scholars who did not pay taxes and did not serve on errands, but why did they lose the country?

Liu Han added viciously in his heart, the Great Zhou is dead, the Shi clan is the courtier of the Great Jin, and the Great Jin is dead, and the Shi clan is not the same as the courtier of any other dynasty.

"Change the ancestral system, dare to ask Lord Gu what is the filial piety of the emperor?" Wei Dian was a little anxious, and the emperor's private virtues were involved. 2k reading web
