Chapter 760: The Hard Bone

But no matter what, Li Yuanming is the official second-rank Shangshuling with great authority. It is absolutely against the rules to make such a big move in the household department without notifying him.Not only did Chu Xian think so, but when he went to find Grand Master Xiao Yu and Da Situ, these two also mentioned Chu Xian and wanted to inform Li Yuanming in advance.

This is the most basic respect.

Of course Chu Xian understood this truth, so he made a special trip to visit Shang Shuling Li Yuanming.

It has been 60 years since this Shangshu Lingcheng became an immortal. As for the admission to the list, it was more than 100 years ago. Counting his age, he was just [-] years old. Among the officials of the Holy Dynasty, he can be regarded as "young and promising".

Moreover, Li Yuanming came from a good background, he was a descendant of an aristocratic family, the Li family in Youzhou was also a wealthy and prominent family, had many high officials, was a scholarly family, and was very self-respecting.In addition, this Li Yuanming's wife is even more amazing, she is the young lady of Zhuge's family in Jingzhou.

It is equivalent to saying that this Li Yuanming is the uncle of the Zhuge family.

A hundred years ago, the Zhuge family was a wealthy family in Jingzhou that kept pace with the Yang family. Although it has declined in recent years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its energy in the officialdom is also quite huge.

Therefore, Li Yuanming also relied on the Zhuge family's strength in his early years, and his official career was definitely smooth sailing.It was only later that Li Yuanming and Zhuge's family seemed to have some 'suspicion', but the specific reason was unknown. It was later heard that there was little contact, and in the Shoufu Pavilion, Li Yuanming had a relationship with Liu Jiwen, the right servant of the household department. A lot.

These Chu Xians had been ascertained when they came.

Chu Xian did not expect that Li Yuanming, Minister of the Holy Dynasty, would have such a deep relationship with Zhuge's family and Liu Jiwen. Of course, it would be fine if it was before, but under the current situation, it is very likely that Master Shang Shuling will Block your own land reform decree.

This is not Chu Xian's alarmist talk, after all, even if it is his immediate boss Hubu Shangshu, his immediate boss is this Shangshuling. The so-called official senior level crushes people to death, it is two official senior levels.Even with the support of Grand Master Xiao Yu and Da Situ, this matter may not be carried out smoothly.

Of course, Chu Xian is more willing to believe that he is overthinking. Will support myself.

As a minister, Li Yuanming should have this kind of mind.

So Chu Xian specially went to visit Li Yuanming at the mansion. The Shang Shuling was also very polite and warmly received Chu Xian. After all, Chu Xian is also a first-level fairy official, the left servant of the household department, and he is also a high-ranking official in the Holy Dynasty. The presence.

Li Yuanming obviously paid attention to his appearance. Even at home, he was meticulous in his clothes. Even his clothes didn't have a single wrinkle, and the furnishings in his home were simple and orderly.Chu Xian had heard of some eccentricities of this lord Shang Shuling. This lord spoke and acted too regularly, and he was obsessed with some things.It's like the furnishings in the house, even if the tables, chairs, benches, flowerpots are misplaced, he will be furious, or it's like the placement and order of the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk, or the pens and paper he uses for writing must be Beijing. The top grade made by a certain inheritance workshop in Zhouzhou.

There are many rumors like this, but in the final analysis, it can be said that Li Yuanming is a conservative, rigorous, and even harsh person.

"This is the first time for Chu Shilang to come to the door. I have long wanted to have a good talk with Chu Shilang, an example of a literati. I didn't expect to have this opportunity today." Even if Li Yuanming entertained guests, he couldn't fault his sitting posture, and Chu Xian noticed that after drinking tea, the place where he put the tea cup back must be the original position, without any deviation.

From this detail, it can be seen that this Lord Shang Shuling is indeed a person with a strong sense of order, as the rumors say.

Chu Xian had to apologize for being polite, and Chu Xian didn't waste any time in saying a few words of politeness. He directly took out his land reform plan and gave it to Li Yuanming with both hands, and at the same time explained his plan in detail.

Including the results of the three-month inspection in various states this time, it can be said that Chu Xian's explanations are clear, and the disadvantages and future hidden dangers of the current land system are also analyzed clearly and thoroughly.

I believe that it should not be difficult for a person like Li Yuanming to understand the priorities and disadvantages of this matter.

It's just that Li Yuanming's reaction next time made Chu Xian's heart skip a beat.

The Master Shang Shuling listened carefully, and tapped his fingers on the wooden table rhythmically. The interval and size of each sound were the same. When Chu Xian finished speaking, Li Yuanming picked up the document and looked at it. Then let it go.

"Everything has pros and cons, Minister Chu, I'm going to criticize you on this matter, you look at things too one-sidedly."

Just one sentence made Chu Xian's heart sink.

Sure enough, things didn't go as smoothly as he thought, and they began to develop in the direction that he was worried about before. With Li Yuanming's first sentence of reprimand and preaching, Chu Xian knew that he wanted to get approval from the Shang Shuling today. It is extremely difficult.

Chu Xian knew that what Li Yuanming said next would be a blow like a storm.

"Chu Shilang, you have been promoted from the bottom, and you have also served as the county magistrate and government magistrate, so you should be very clear about the local situation. If you are the children of those who come from a family in Jingzhou, and you say such childish words, I don't blame you, but you clearly know it, but you still put forward this ridiculous proposed decree, which is really disappointing."

While speaking, Li Yuanming slammed the volume of book in his hand on the table. His strength was so strong that he snapped the thin thread, and the pages of the book were scattered all over the floor.

"Chu Shilang, don't blame me for losing your temper. It's because your idea is too naive. You have to know that existence is reasonable. The existing land system has lasted for thousands of years. Has the holy dynasty declined? Are the people rioting? No, the holy dynasties are flourishing and the people are rich, which has proved that what is good is indeed good, if it is not good, it would have been eliminated long ago, can't you see that?"

This is Li Yuanming's first rhetorical question.

And he obviously didn't intend to give Chu Xian a chance to speak at all, and then came the second question.

"Also, you wrote on it, saying that the current system has too many drawbacks? But as I said before, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and things are divided into two, just like Taoism is divided into yin and yang. That's the truth. How can there be a perfect solution in this world? What you do is just to show your difference, show off and ask for credit. I know you are a new official, and you want to light a few fires to show your existence and value. Official, it’s the same idea. Everyone understands it, and I understand it too, but you can’t burn everything. Is land reform so easy? Chu Shilang, do you know that once you do what you say, you will What happened? What you call balancing the price of some landless people is to let those people who have owned land for generations to give up the benefits? Then do you know how many of these people are there? Will they agree? Will they agree? Riot? If you really follow what you said, the world will inevitably be in chaos. To put it nicely, you are a failed reform. To put it bluntly, you are just messing around."

The last sentence is tantamount to finalizing Chu Xian's proposal.

What's more, Li Yuanming scolded Chu Xian to pieces, and if someone else was told by Shang Shuling, they would be trembling with fear, and they would directly kill the desire for reform in their hearts, or they would be dissatisfied and dissatisfied. Resentment will eventually be dominated by hatred and annihilate all living beings. Either continue to suffer and be bullied, or seek death and take a road of self-destruction.

This is also why Li Yuanming bombarded Chu Xian so cleverly. On the surface, he was talking about this decree, but in fact he was attacking Chu Xian. This method is indeed clever.

Chu Xian thinks so.

Fortunately, Chu Xian was not an ordinary official, and he had much more knowledge than other officials of the same level, and Chu Xian had already planned for the worst, so Li Yuanming's cannonball actually did not have much effect.

Although Chu Xian knew that it was useless to say anything else, it was just nonsense, and he would continue to be criticized and denied by the minister.

But at this time, it must be said, whether it is for myself or for the decree that I want to implement.

Chu Xian knew that he would encounter difficulties and obstacles with this decree, and now was the first one, even if it hit his head badly, Chu Xian would do it.

This is his obsession. The obsession of being an official is like being a blacksmith who vows to forge a magical weapon. It is like an alchemist who vows to refine a supreme elixir. It is nothing to others , but for Chu Xian, this is his 'goal'.

What Li Yuanming didn't understand was that he thought that these few words could frighten Chu Xian, beat him, and even make him retreat. However, Chu Xian was very excited now.

It is extremely tragic to be hit for the ideal of official career. This is the greatest happiness of a dreamer.

So Chu Xian started to 'counterattack'.

"Sir Shang Shuling said, Chu Xian is taught, and there is no perfect method for things in the world, including strategies, but it is easy to choose whether to lose sesame seeds or lose watermelon. Yes, when Taizong's sage patriarch founded the holy pilgrimage , everything starts from scratch, from scratch, there is nothing to learn from, Taizong's ancestors are wise, and the land system that they think has lasted for thousands of years is indeed laying the foundation for the glory of the holy dynasty, but everything can be changed, this is also the way The law makes it so, when it meets fire it turns into water, when it meets water it grows wood, solid wood fears metal, and metal melts when it meets fire, the way of change is the magic of the way.”

Chu Xian's 'counterattack' was obviously also extremely sharp. Li Yuanming frowned over there, and Chu Xian's next combination of punches followed.

"Master Shang Shuling, stand high and look far, and think about things that must surpass Chu Xian. However, the way of government orders lies in thinking and discussing. If two people argue, three people can make a theory, and discuss things and things. If it succeeds, it means that Chu Xian didn't think carefully and the government order was difficult to implement. You can also gather ideas and repair it. The method of repairing, Chu Xian will throw bricks to attract jade for the time being. There are three methods written in the document. The minister can correct and perfect it. How to neutralize the influence and calm all parties. , if things are not feasible, Chu Xian will not be persistent."
