Gu Wei didn't expect that Liu Han would really be able to invite Jumu and Zhizhen to come, with the fame of these two people in Shilin, let alone eating together, even if you sit at the same table, your fame will also swish.

Gu Wei was very shrewd, he never mentioned this debate at the dinner table, nor did he discuss the Taoist classics, he just said some idle things, Liu Han also didn't say this, but said some interesting things about the Western Regions, and he had a good meal.

After the meal, Mr. Jumu proposed to take a stroll in the small garden, Liu Han immediately agreed, but Gu Wei did not go together, but excused himself to rest and left.

Liu Han accompanied the two of them to walk in the courtyard, this small garden is not large, but the layout is ingenious, the scenic spots are scattered, rockeries, streams, plum blossoms, green bamboo, there is no sense of crowding.

"I didn't expect it, everyone Liu...."

"Don't, don't drive," Liu Han hurriedly interrupted and said with a smile: "Mr. should call the people of the younger generation." ”

"Zimin?" Mr. Jumu was a little puzzled, and Liu Han smiled bitterly: "I am a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, I was exiled in the Western Regions when I was a child, and now I have come back, and I have given myself a word, Zimin." ”

Gu Wei and Qiu Yun both sent him words, what three changes or something, he didn't like it, so he took one for himself.

"Liu Han Liu Zimin, this name is good, simple, and simple. Mr. Jumu nodded slightly: "Okay, I will call you people in the future." ”

Liu Han smiled bitterly in his heart, and Mr. Jumu said again: "People, I can't imagine that you still have a set of governance for the country. ”

"Governing the country?" Liu Han pretended to be surprised, shook his head and said: "I understand this, I am a businessman, and if it is more serious, I am a martial artist, governing the country?" ”

"The sage said, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the people, you are not right. Mr. Juki said with a smile.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the horseman," Liu Han said: "This sounds quite right, but the question is, who kind of people does the horseman include?

Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen frowned almost at the same time, of course they didn't think that Liu Han didn't understand what a puppet was.

"Since the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, why don't the royal family and scholars pay taxes?

Liu Han looked at Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen with a smile, and Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen stared at each other with round eyes and had nothing to answer.

"If the world is a tree, the scholars are the trunks, and the commoners of the Shu clan are the branches and leaves, and the trunks and branches and leaves of the trees, each performing its own duties, what's wrong with that?" asked Mr. Zhizhen with a frown.

"Sir said it well," Liu Han said, "Since each has its own duties, dare to ask Sir, what are the duties of the royal family?"

"The royal family is the brain of the world, the scholars are the cadres of the world, and they are the guards of His Majesty. Mr. Zhizhen said.

"That's what the Taoist canon and many of the writings of the sages say," Liu Han nodded, but in his heart he didn't think it was right at all, but he couldn't say it, otherwise he would not only be surrounded and suppressed by the scholars, but I am afraid that even the emperor would not dare to support his views.

Rights and obligations are inseparable, and without rights there are no obligations.

This truth was known to many elementary school students in previous lives, but in this world, I am afraid it is heresy.

The emperor was commanded by heaven and naturally enjoyed the worship of all the people, and the scholars were the assistants of the emperor and kept over the four directions for the emperor.

The royal family and the scholar clan ruled the world together.

This is the orthodoxy of this world.

Everything else is heretical, and this world is much more cruel to heretics than in previous lives.

Liu Han scoffed at this theory, but he had no intention of changing it, and he was powerless to change it.

But for the common people, they don't understand this, in their opinion, the emperor will not say it, but the scholars, who usually eat and drink well, occupy the most and best land, but do not pay taxes to the court, and the heavy taxes of the court are all imposed on them, and they must also serve in labor, busy for a year, and still not have enough to eat. Naturally, they have to ask why. ”

Liu Han said, Mr. Jumu nodded, and Mr. Zhizhen hesitated before nodding.

This is very true, but from the past dynasty to the present, the nobles do not pay taxes. ”

Liu Han also nodded: "In the Great Zhou, the Shi clan does not pay taxes, but why did the Great Zhou still perish?"

"That was the Great Zhou Emperor's immorality. Mr. Zhizhen said: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was rampant, causing the heavens to be angry and resentful, and the world collapsed. ”

"But why did Emperor Zhou Yuan go on a rampage? He is not a madman, I read in the history books that Emperor Zhou Yuan was a gentle person and was very tolerant of ministers, and during his reign, he rarely killed ministers. ”

This is accurate, in fact, the Great Zhou lost the world and the displaced people are related, Emperor Zhou Zhang was the exiles in all directions, the civil unrest continued, to the Zhou Emperor Decline, the scale of the civil unrest is getting bigger and bigger, there are 36 states in the world, there are 27 states in the civil unrest, the court wants the civilian chaos, but the treasury has no silver, so I have to let the local officials recruit troops and form an army, so the local officials took advantage of the situation to rise, and my Great Jin Yan family also got up at this time. ”

Mr. Jumu's expression was full of worry, how similar it was to the Great Weekend Year now, and there was one more external trouble than the Great Zhou.

The reasons for the fall of each dynasty are all kinds on the surface, but they are the same on the inside, and they can't be sustained.

Liu Han sighed softly and smiled: "I like to read history books, but I hate reading history books, and I always wonder why they didn't do this back then, or like that, if they could avoid the crisis." ”

Saying that, he shook his head: "Look at the history books, worry about the ancients, alas.... I'm kind of sentimental. ”

"Huh. Mr. Juki smiled generously, and his laughter was dry.

The three of them walked around the small garden and returned to their seats, the people who were eating outside hadn't come back yet, and Gu Wei didn't know where to go.

"Today's debate, will it be recorded in history in the future?" Liu Han asked seriously with three points of ridicule and three points.

Zhizhen frowned and thought about it, and replied seriously: "Definitely." ”

"Do you want to make a name in history?" Mr. Juki asked with some amusement.

"Don't drive," Liu Han waved his hand: "You still have to do this kind of thing like leaving a name in Qingshi, what about me, just live this life, Qingshi or something, it's best not to get involved." ”

"Why is that?" Mr. Giant Wood wondered slightly.

"I'm afraid of death, I read the history books that this Qing official and famous minister, who can leave a name in history, most of them have no good end, either by the emperor's suspicion, or by traitorous ministers, or by righteous people, lifting three feet to the green peak, beheaded in the streets. It's horrible!"

Liu Han's face was colorless, and he shook his head in fear, Jumu and Zhizhen were stunned for a while, and Mr. Zhizhen also shook his head, and Mr. Jumu laughed and looked happy.

"The Lord who dares to take the trade path of the Western Regions is also afraid of death. Mr. Juki asked meaningfully.

"The more adventurous people are, the more afraid they are of death. Liu Han said.

Mr. Jumu nodded: "That makes sense. ”

"Zimin, are you in favor of the new tax system, or are you against?" Mr. Zhizhen suddenly interjected.

"I," Liu Han was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What about this matter, it is the imperial court that wants to do it, in fact, Lord Gu doesn't want to do it, no matter who does it, it will offend the world's corporal clan, once they find a chance, the power of the backlash will tear people to pieces."

I'm a businessman, and I think about the pros and cons of everything, and it's too dangerous. ”

Liu Han explained seriously, Mr. Zhizhen looked at it, his expression was a little contemptuous, and Mr. Jumu sighed silently.

In the afternoon, the debate continued, Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen were relatively silent, Wei Dian acted as the main force, he began to attack from the prince of heaven and earth, Gu Wei resisted step by step, expounded the necessity of the new tax system, and explained the importance of the new tax system to the court and the people.

Gu Wei even took out the changes in taxes in Yangzhou and Yangzhou County in the past ten years as evidence to prove that the fields occupied by the gate lord clan had reached an astonishing extent, and all the taxes lost by the imperial court went into the pockets of the scholars.

“..... , The imperial treasury must be empty, neither able to save the people, nor able to raise soldiers and officials, now the Saiwaihu people provoke, in order to deal with them, the imperial court has hollowed out this year's treasury, several major grain kilns in the imperial capital, there is only one left, the imperial court has exhausted all its strength, if the war continues, the imperial court will not be able to continue. ”

All these difficulties stemmed from the emptiness of the imperial treasury, and the root cause of the emptiness of the imperial treasury was the non-payment of taxes by the nobles.

As I have just laid out, is it reasonable that the nobles possess the most and best land in the world and pay not a penny of silver to the treasury?"

"Lord Wei said that this is the ancestral system, the rules set by Taizu cannot be changed, if it is wrong, it can be changed, the Taoist code has long been said, the world is easy to change, and it is appropriate to change the law.

Today, if it doesn't change, the world will not be sustainable. ”

Gu Wei's last speech came to an end for this debate, neither Wei Dian nor Bai Mei had nothing to say, although the elderly Wei Dian was still angry, but he couldn't come up with a theoretical basis to refute Gu Wei.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Wei was exhausted, leaning lazily on the soft seat, Liu Han poured him a glass of water, and Gu Wei took it unceremoniously and drank it.

Liu Han didn't speak, Gu Wei didn't bother to speak, the two of them sat silently like this, outside the carriage, the tiger guards were closely protected, and some scholars tried to rush over excitedly, but they were blocked by the county soldiers.

The carriage returned to the camp calmly and peacefully, Liu Han jumped out of the car, turned his head and said to Gu Wei: "In the past few days, it is best for adults to stay in Xingyuan, the scholars outside are eager to eat raw meat, and it is better for adults not to take risks." ”

Gu Wei was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the gate of the camp, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, then change brother according to the three." ”

"Come on, today, I just gave myself a word, Liu Han Liu Zimin. Liu Han laughed and walked towards the door.

Hongyang was bored, Qin sent to the gate of the camp, to describe it as a door, not too much, seeing Liu Han coming, Hongyang didn't get up, just sat like that, and simply clasped his fists and saluted.

Liu Han asked, saw that there was nothing wrong, got up to leave, suddenly remembered, and asked if Tang Long had gone out today, Hong Yang said that he had gone out and had not come back yet.

"This kid shouldn't have escaped. ”

Liu Han shook his head, this Tang Long won't leave, most of them went out to see the excitement, or went to chat with classmates.

However, just one Tang Long is not enough, if Gu Wei agrees with his plan, it will take twenty to thirty Tang Dragons.

This debate is not only a momentum, but also an explanation, but the main thing is to recruit talents and bring together those like-minded people.

In Liu Han's view, this is a very poorly prepared change, such a huge change generally takes a year or two to prepare public opinion, but now it is launched in a hurry, all aspects of the preparation is not sufficient, the future variables are very large, it is difficult to say that it will win.
