Ju Yi saw the two of them and motioned for them to go over, Gu Wei and Liu Han both turned around, and the two hurriedly stepped forward.

"Sit down, Deguang, Jingming, come in and sit. ”

The sentence was very casual, and he beckoned the two of them to go in with a smile on his face, and Chao You Moqi and the two of them did not refuse, Liu Han lifted the teapot and poured tea for the two of them.

Gu Wei looked at the two of them with a smile, Chao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Han, and wanted to mock a few words, but he felt that it was not the right time, so he changed his words: "My lord." ”

As soon as he said two words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, Gu Wei shook his head slightly, and said gently: "Don't worry, take a sip of tea first and speak slowly." ”

Chao Yu sighed silently, and also felt thirsty, and drank two cups of tea in a row, but Mo Qi was better and put it down, waiting quietly, knowing that there was no good news.

Chao You looked up at Gu Wei and Ju Yu, and took a deep breath before saying: "In the past two days, according to the instructions of the adults, the officials visited the Plum Blossom Academy, Zizhu Academy, Yangzhou Academy, Anping Academy outside the city, and the mountain chiefs of each academy, all of them refused to participate, and all of them opposed the tax reform of the imperial court. ”

The sentence changed slightly, Gu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and Liu Han looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Gu Wei sighed softly, didn't speak, turned his head to look at Mo Qi, Mo Qi also smiled bitterly, and took out three resignations: "My lord, this is the resignation of Gong Cao Han Zhang, Lord Bo Luqi, and the superintendent of the post Yu Onion, although the lower officials tried their best to keep it, but their resignation was very strong, and the county officials from various counties have also come one after another in the past two days, and I don't know if there will be people who resign." ”

Gu Wei sighed again, turned his head to look at Ju Yi, Ju Yi laughed dryly, and sighed: "Now, alas, even the scholars don't understand the difficulties of the imperial court, alas." ”

The sentence was helpless, only a sigh was left, and those who didn't know seemed to feel that he was just a minor official beating the side drum, not a formal messenger.

Gu Wei smiled faintly: "The reason why it is difficult for the imperial court to implement the reform of the tax system is because of these outdated and conservative thoughts, whether it is Shilin or the gate lord clan, they have forgotten the sage's subtle words and righteousness, but it doesn't matter, the official has already expected it." ”

Liu Han frowned and asked, "What will happen if the imperial court does not allow them to resign?"

"Not allowed to resign?" Mo Qi was slightly stunned, as if he had not met it yet.

The sentence said: "Then it is needless to say, naturally I can't resign, but if it continues like this, they will not be dedicated, and it will be good for the implementation of tax reform?"

"My opinion is to let them go, but the matter must be reported to the court. Gu Wei said calmly: "If someone wants to resign in the future, it will be accepted." ”

"But—" Mo Qi stopped talking, looking very uneasy.

"It's not a big deal," Gu Wei said lightly: "The imperial court asked me to lead the Yangzhou county guard and shepherd the Yangzhou government, and I should make every effort to promote the tax system reform in Yangzhou, as for the shortage of officials, I will report to the imperial court, and at the same time recruit a group of officials who want to promote the tax system reform." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Han and asked, "How does Brother Liu feel?"

Liu Han smiled: "Excellent, there is absolutely no shortage of people in this world who are willing to be officials, but the battle of people's hearts is more important." ”

"This is very true," Gu Wei nodded in agreement, and then frowned: "In this battle of people's hearts, how should the first sword come out?"

With a wry smile, Chao You frowned and thought, Mo Qi was a little confused, but Gu Wei only stared at Liu Han.

After half a ring, Liu Han spoke: "According to my idea, starting from Yangzhou Academy, adults can announce the world and hold a debate in Yangzhou Academy, the topic is tax system reform." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people in the small pavilion were shocked, and there had been such arguments in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty. The Taoist canon has been passed down to the present, it has been tens of thousands of years, but how this Taoist canon came about, no one can say clearly, some people say that it is passed on by the immortals, some people say that it is left by the ancient sages, after tens of thousands of years of inheritance, it is naturally divided, forming a number of sects, these sects have different understandings of the Taoist canon, and there are endless arguments in Shilin.

The difference in the understanding of the Taoist classics is particularly obvious in the academies, there are many academies in the imperial capital, in fact, according to the understanding of the Taoist classics, they can be divided into several schools, of which there are three schools that are the most popular now.

Yongliang School, this faction is headed by Chang'an Jixian Academy, they advocate quiet listening, with the law as a conformity, and the representative of the imperial capital is Xishan Academy;

Yingru School, this school takes Yingchuan Academy as the core, advocates the rule of inaction, opposes the scriptures of chaos, and the feelings of rebellion, and the Dongxian Academy in the imperial capital is to promote this school of doctrine;

Jingxiang School, this faction is headed by Songhe Academy, advocating the reflection of heaven and man, righteousness and righteousness, and the representative of this faction in the imperial capital is Longmen Academy.

These three schools are the main schools of the Great Jin Shilin today, in addition to these three schools, there are dozens of primary schools, what bamboo forest school, Linhu school, Cuigang school, etc., these primary schools also have supporters and researchers, but they have not been the mainstream.

The prevalence of debate in the Great Jin Dynasty has a lot to do with the many academic schools, every time the students of the two factions meet, there must be a debate, every debate, supporters on both sides flock to it, if you can be brilliant in the debate, then it will be famous all over the world, there is no shortage of people in history.

Ju Yu's expression was complicated, Chao Yu was a little worried, Mo Qi was looking forward to it, only Gu Wei looked calm, and nodded with a smile: "Brother Liu still understands me." ”

"With the reputation of adults, the scholars from all over Yangzhou have not flocked to here, this debate is very exciting, and the name of adults will surely be famous for a hundred years," Liu Han praised: "However, after this debate, there is no way back for adults." ”

Ju Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Liu Han's judgment, Chao You and Mo Qi thought about it for a while before they understood, their expressions were complicated, and Mo Qi was a little hesitant.

"Jingming, what's wrong? Is it possible, you want to resign?" Gu Wei's eyes were sharp, and he immediately sensed Mo Qi's thoughts.

"How can it," Mo Qi smiled bitterly, "I'm thinking about the demeanor of the adults when they arrive." ”

"I don't dare to think about it," Gu Wei sighed softly: "The tax system reform, the imperial court has no way out, I, Gu Wei, naturally have no way out, and your lords have no way out, if the tax system reform fails, we all have to accept the guilt to the imperial court." ”

Everyone in the small pavilion was silent for a while, everyone knew the thing, but no one made it clear, the imperial court had high hopes for the tax system innovation, if Yangzhou succeeded, it would be implemented throughout the country, just like the salt tax reform, now Chen Xuan is implementing the new salt system in Jizhou, and the next step is to implement it in Hedong, a salt-producing area.

"Therefore, we must succeed, whether it is for the court, for the people of the world, or for ourselves, we must succeed!"

Gu Wei stood up, looked up at the sky, dressed in white, fluttering in the wind.

"I, Gu Wei, for the people of the world, am willing to bear it!"

At this moment, Gu Wei is ambitious, how many years, in order to realize his ambitions, he ran all over the world, but unfortunately there was little response, so he had to throw himself into Pan Lianmen, hoping to use the power of the court to implement benevolent government to solve the suffering of the people in the world.

After enduring for many years, he can finally show his ambitions, Gu Wei has figured it out, he wants to enter the storm! Meet this storm! Take this storm as a starting point, go to the highest level of power in the Great Jin Dynasty, eliminate the evils, and benefit the people of the world!

Chao You looked at him with admiration, Mo Qi looked at him enviously, his eyes flashed with excitement, and his chest was also full of passion.

"The lower officials are willing to follow the adults and fight for the well-being of the people of the world!"

Chao You jumped up and shouted loudly, and Mo Qi also stood up: "Your Excellency said it well, Xia Guan is willing to advance and retreat with your lord!"

Ju Yu's mood was also wavering, and at that moment, he was also deeply encouraged, for the people of the world, but this excitement only swayed slightly in his heart, and then quickly disappeared.

He smiled slightly: "Well said, Brother Hongdao, the hope of the court and the hope of the people are all on us." ”

With a light sentence, he woke up Gu Wei, the biggest boss in the camp was him, Gu Wei naturally understood, turned around and smiled slightly: "What the adults said is that this time, we not only have to win, but also win to convince them." ”

"When the time comes, the two adults will go out and fight the sages of Jiangnan, thousands of years later, it will still be a legend!" Liu Han laughed.

"What, Brother Liu doesn't plan to show up?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Han grinned: "You let me kill people, I can do it, let me argue with those mountain chiefs, adults should spare me." ”

"Brother Liu has three articles, the imperial capital paper is expensive, and he must have unique insights into the Taoist classics. Ju Yu laughed.

Liu Han was not a little ashamed, and replied in a ruffian: "Poetry is a small way, I have self-knowledge, those mountain elders have been studying Taoist scriptures all their lives, how dare I sit with them and discuss the Tao, this matter, it is better for two adults to come forward." ”

With a smile, Chao You and Mo Qi thought that this should be the truth, and their perception of Liu Han improved greatly, but Gu Wei shook his head slightly: "Brother Liu is humble, he understands everything, Brother Liu is proficient in the art of businessman, the world doesn't know, in fact, this skill of businessman is also respected by the Taoist canon." ”

Chao You Mo Qi frowned slightly, both of them have studied the Taoist canon for many years, how can this Taoist have the skill of a businessman? Mo Qi has a low position, he only dares to take the question to heart, Chao You opens his mouth to ask, but when he thinks of Liu Han, it is not easy to ask.

"Is the adult scolding me, or praising me?" Liu Han blinked his eyes and asked rhetorically.

Gu Wei smiled happily, didn't say anything more, and ordered outside: "Bring a pen and paper." ”

The little boy who had been outside quickly brought a pen and paper, and Gu Wei instructed, "I said you write." ”

The little boy sat on the side and lifted the pen in a regular manner, Gu Wei was slightly contemplative: "Today, there are many hidden worries, there are Hu people making chaos outside, and the displaced people are in trouble, the people are in trouble, and the emperor is worried.

In order to solve the difficulties of the world, the imperial court wants to implement a new tax system in Yangzhou, but Shilin has a lot of discussions, to the government decree is difficult to implement, the national policy is difficult to implement, Wei is anxious, so I want to meet with the sages of Yangzhou ten days later, in Yangzhou Academy, to discuss the pros and cons of the new tax system!"

Gu Wei's words were short but full of boundless pride, and he actually wanted to single-handedly pick out the scholars in Yangzhou, it is conceivable that this should be posted to the academies, and not let those arrogant scholars be excited!

This debate is bound to be wonderful! It is bound to be recorded in the annals of history!
