"okay."
"The matter of Jixia Academy, the old man will help you handle it, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to think too much."
"If it doesn't work for three months, the old man will help you delay it for half a year."
"Nowadays the battle of fate, the university factions are actually waiting, they don't want to start so soon, they all want to prepare well, if the old man comes forward and asks for a three-month delay, these people will agree if they come."
"Jinnian, I don't expect you to get two seals of destiny in Jixia Academy, but you must get at least one. Besides, it's time for you to learn about the school."
"If you don't join the school again, you will suffer a lot in the future struggle."
"It's like this time you are fighting against Buddhism. Do you know why no one from Confucianism and Taoism comes out to help you?"
Su Wenjing spoke softly and mentioned this matter.
"Just because you didn't join the school?"
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly.
"kindness."
"Jinnian, you are the sage of later generations of Confucianism and Taoism. This was hand-picked by Confucius, and everyone in the world recognizes it. But this recognition is only a recognition that you have this talent. Many people appreciate you. If you weren't in Daxia Academy."
"Since the Confucian Mansion passed away, many people will visit you in person, not to accept you as a disciple, but to draw you into these schools."
"Confucianism and Taoism are actually divided into two worlds. For scholars who have just learned literature, poetry, songs and prose are gorgeous. This is the first one. It can be regarded as leisure entertainment and a means of quickly becoming famous."
"The real Confucianism and Taoism are disputes between schools, that is, academics. The purpose of their discussion is one, the direction of Confucianism and Taoism."
"This group of talents are the real big men of Confucianism and Taoism, not only the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, but the most important thing is their power and background. They may be old, in their seventies and eighties, and they seem to have no role, but their disciples are all over the world."
"Actually speaking, you are still too ruthless. You directly summoned Kong Sheng from the Confucian Mansion. Otherwise, according to the contradictions at that time, you could really see the methods of the Confucian Mansion."
"The Confucian Mansion's method is definitely not as simple as letting scholars scold you. To be honest, the Confucian Mansion is unlucky, and it is also destined."
When Su Wenjing mentioned this matter, he couldn't help mentioning the Confucian Mansion.
nothing else.
Who is the most powerful Confucianism and Taoism?It's not the Confucian mansion.
As a result, such a powerful force was dealt with by Gu Jinnian. To put it bluntly, if anyone dared to say that before Gu Jinnian summoned Kong Sheng, he could suppress the Kong family, and scholars all over the world would laugh at him.
Because Confucian Mansion is a giant existence.
The Daxia Confucian Mansion is the main mansion, a huge treasure ship, and those branches are locked treasure ships, sailing in the ocean, extremely powerful.
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
In addition, everyone in the Confucian Mansion will make friends and recruit disciples. The contacts accumulated over thousands of years are simply unimaginable.
It is true that many people are displeased with Confucian Mansion, and they also look down on Confucian Mansion, but so what?
Most of the people are ordinary people, facing the Confucian government's recruitment, how many scholars can withstand it?
Suppose you are a student from a humble family, you have good aptitude, and you win the Juren, if at this time, someone from the Confucian Mansion appears and asks you if you want to join his sect?How do you choose?
Choose to decline?Punch the face of Kongfu, what can be guaranteed is that those juren who are not ranked as you are, one by one, go to various places to become officials, while you are still in the capital, waiting for an alternate, and writing a book in the university hall.
There is always a shortage of this position, especially when Emperor Yongsheng wants to build the Yongsheng Grand Ceremony. There is a shortage of people. If you refuse to accept it, go to court. Just because you have leapfrogged to sue, you will not be reused.
So no matter how talented you are, what can you do if you are not hired?
How many times do you have a chance to stand up in life?
And if you choose to agree to join the other party's sect, a county magistrate will be arranged for you immediately. Don't underestimate this county magistrate.
You can give full play to your talents, and of course you can also choose to lie flat and make money to enjoy yourself. If something happens to you, as long as the matter is not serious, the Confucian government will help you solve it.
You have not had any accidents, and you have even achieved political achievements. The Confucian government will help you get in the position, but what are the conditions for being in the position?
It is to make you never leave Confucian Mansion. Confucian Mansion can let you go up and let you come down.
When you were in your sixtieth year, you became a servant, or you became a minister of six books. Your son, your family, and everything about you have a great relationship with the Confucian Mansion.
And at this moment, someone offended the Confucian family. This person happened to be your subordinate's subordinate. What would you do?
Depose him directly?
No.
If you have a little conscience, you will let him take a job and let him spend his life empty.
If you don’t have a conscience, you entrust him with an extremely difficult task. If he can’t do it well, you will dismiss him as a matter of course, and you will be given a copy in front of the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, no matter what the process is, you have not done it. Good thing, it's your problem.
If you do a good job, it will be a surprise. Take your work as your own credit, and reward you with a month's salary later.
Then I will give you a half-rank promotion, and then I will give you a tricky task. If you can do everything well, you will be extremely talented.
Then thank you, when he becomes prime minister, he will definitely promote you to member Uiro.
Interested enough?
What?Do you have a problem?Then you go home.
get out.
This is where Confucianism is terrifying, and it can also be said that Confucianism is terrifying.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be forces and struggles.
It's a pity that the mighty Kong family was burned down by Gu Jinnian.
So Su Wenjing knew that in Gu Jinnian's mind, the Confucian family was just like that, the strongest power was wiped out by him, so what were the other Confucian and Taoist powers?
But in fact, what Su Wenjing wants to remind Gu Jinnian now is that it was not Gu Jinnian who killed the Kong family, but Kong Sheng.
The first saint between heaven and earth.
This is an invincible existence. Only this kind of existence can easily destroy the Kong family. It was not destroyed by you, Gu Jinnian, nor by the Great Xia Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, even if all the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory act together, it may not necessarily affect the Kong family.
Because the Central Continent Dynasty also needs the Kong family, the value of the Kong family is a treasure for politics.
Even if Gu Jinnian had summoned the second generation of saints when he was in the Confucian Mansion, he might not be able to hit the Confucian family like this.
Only Kong Sheng.
The ancestors of the Kong family personally suppressed the Kong family, so that the Kong family did not have any power to fight back, and they could not have the power to fight back. If they really dare to fight back, it would be to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors.
"gentlemen."
"Then how many schools of Confucianism and Taoism are there now?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"It used to be four, now it's three."
Su Wenjing answered.
"The Confucian family was originally the number one, and the way of Confucius was the highest, but now you have suppressed it."
"The second is the school of Zhu Xue. This school is very great. Even the Confucian family has to be vigilant about it. The philosophy of Zhu Xue is to preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires. It requires scholars to be strict with themselves and act carefully. , You have to learn from saints in every word and sentence, there are many people in this line."
"Before the Confucian family also had many great Confucianists, and they all admired the way of Zhu Xue."
Su Wenjing introduced the first school of thought.
Leaving aside Kong Sheng, something that everyone should learn, Zhu Xue’s lineage is the well-deserved number one school at present.
"Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy human desires?"
Gu Jinnian was a little tongue-tied, he didn't expect this kind of academics to exist in this world.
But after thinking about it, it is reasonable. After all, Confucius is the way of etiquette, and learning is a reincarnation. For hundreds of thousands of years, this kind of thinking will definitely arise.
Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires is very complicated to talk about. To describe it in the simplest terms, it is to learn from the saints everywhere, put morality first, and no matter what you do, you must learn from the saints.
This idea is actually not a big problem, but it can't stand someone messing around. The most common thing is that you are required to learn from a sage, but you haven't done it yourself, but this does not prevent you from spraying you.
This kind is okay, just criticize you, find fault, and damage your reputation.
The most frightening thing is that when you learn from saints everywhere, you become a situation of "learning" for the sake of learning, and you lose your heart.
However, this school has the largest number of people, and Gu Jinnian can probably understand it.
There is no other reason. After all, I am away from home. No matter what I do, I will say that I am imitating a saint. I am inherently invincible.
It is very likely that none of the saints have done this. After all, the five saints have done those things in their lives, who knows?
Besides, regardless of whether the sage has done it or not, when I need a sage to do this thing, then the sage must do it.
It is very similar to the classic saying, I have a friend.
"What about the third?"
Gu Jinnian asked, he didn't have much interest in Zhu Xue, he was himself, why should he imitate the saint?
"The third is Mingxue, which is derived from the knowledge of the second sage. It requires scholars to be wise and polite. Don't think about it. Mingxue has some opinions on you. They don't like to argue, but like to obey the will of heaven. , pay attention to etiquette, and the main core is to cultivate one's health."
Su Wenjing said so.
Gu Jinnian didn't know much about Ming Xue, but he had heard of it.
It is etiquette.
Yang Kai is a half-Ming Xue student.
"Sir, this Ming school seems to be the mainstream in the early years, right?"
Gu Jinnian remembered something.
"Well, it was the mainstream 2000 years ago, and scholars all over the world respected Mingxue, but after the military strategists came out, Mingxue fell into disrepair."
Su Wen nodded.
And Gu Jinnian suddenly realized that it was exactly what he thought.
Ming school was indeed the mainstream of the world 2000 years ago. It was wise and reasonable, and the big countries should also be reasonable, with etiquette as the mainstay.
At that time, when there was a war, the envoys of the two countries had to give in to each other on the battlefield, and then everyone fought according to the procedures. If the other party suffered heavy losses and called for money to withdraw troops, they had to stop.
They even had to send some supplies over to avoid problems with the other party.
Later, military strategists came out, and they didn't follow any rules when fighting. They didn't bother to take advantage of the victory, and they never tire of deceit, sneak attack, fire attack, and siege.
It is precisely because of this that many countries that respected Ming studies have perished, and the kings of various countries have seen it for a long time.
This kind of knowledge kills people. It’s okay for everyone to be reasonable, but it’s impossible to play when you encounter someone who is unreasonable.
And you can't help it, you unite with everyone to condemn him, and then he feels very uncomfortable. In order to prevent everyone from condemning himself, you simply kill everyone together, so that no one will say anything about yourself.
Therefore, Mingxue fell instantly, but with the advent of the prosperous age, Mingxue returned to the mainstream. Of course, this time it is an improved version of Mingxue, the etiquette among scholars, and respect for teachers.
Heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers are the core of Mingxue, which perfectly meets political needs, so Mingxue has been promoted again. Of course, military strategists still ignore it, but they will take it out when needed, and no one will take care of it when they don't need it.
"What about the fourth?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
"The fourth is to take the Confucianism of the last sage as the main body, called Guoxue, and become an official to benefit the people."
Su Wenjing explained.
Gu Jinnian understood this.
This is the mainstream of the current major dynasties. No matter how knowledgeable a person is, his ability is limited after all. This ability mainly depends on his status.
If a scholar is a teacher, even if he teaches a hundred students, one class every three years, he will only have two thousand students in 60 years of his life.
Most of these two thousand students can only stop at the stage of literacy.
There are at most 200 people who can really understand the truth, and there may be 30 or 30 people who can become serious scholars and step into the realm of Confucianism and Taoism. several?
Therefore, if you become an official and solve problems for the imperial court, firstly, you can be regarded as an achievement if you become an official. To benefit the common people.
Chinese studies ranked fourth, which is actually reasonable.
The first is the study of Confucius, the first sage in the world. Everything about Confucianism and Taoism is based on Confucius. Pay attention to courtesy and humility.
Both Zhuxue and Mingxue are a kind of spiritual knowledge, and Guoxue still has an element of interest in it after all, so it is reasonable to rank fourth, which is also a kind of balance.
But Gu Jinnian knew very well that Chinese studies must be ranked first, because nine out of ten scholars want to be officials, this is human nature.
"Sir, besides these four, are there others?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"Yes, it's just that there are more or less problems with other schools of thought. For example, the Zonghengxue, Yinyangxue, etc., which came out a few years ago, are of all kinds, but none of them have been recognized by Jixia Academy."
"Jinnian, according to the old man's opinion, it is better for you to study in China. Your temperament is not suitable for joining Zhu Xue. You can't restrain yourself. Ming Xue already has some opinions on you, so there is no need to ask for trouble."
"The words of Chinese studies are just right, you are a powerful person in the Great Xia, so it is reasonable to enroll in Chinese studies."
"Of course, what it is is up to you."
Su Wenjing gave his own ideas.
"Students, think about it carefully."
Gu Jinnian nodded, looking thoughtful.
The study of Confucian saints is equivalent to an enlightenment, and the Confucian family has always controlled it. Majoring in the study of Confucian saints is tantamount to entering the Confucian family, and Gu Jinnian does not want to go.
According to Zhu Xue, it is not suitable for me to preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires. It is only suitable for people with high natural moral character and strong self-control ability. Definitely not going to do it.
For example, if you say that you can't waste food, you can't waste it at all. In a sense, it is more ruthless than Buddhist ascetics.
Not to mention Ming Xue, if you don't know how to adapt to the way of a gentleman, you will be bullied. Although you can also show your noble character, it is yourself who is wronged.
Guoxue. Joining in, a lot of things are mixed inexplicably. Gu Jinnian actually doesn't want to touch politics.
His idea is to spread out his peripheral vision, improve the country, and help as much as possible, and let the dynasty handle the rest, rest when he should rest, and rush to retire to work.
But what Su Wenjing said is absolutely right, Chinese studies are indeed the most suitable for me now.
Unless you don't enter any school, then it's not very good.
"You have to think about it carefully."
Gu Jinnian murmured in his heart that he was not very satisfied with all of this.
If I have to say that I am most satisfied, it is actually "Xin Xue". Before time travel, Gu Jinnian had studied Xin Xue. At that time, he didn't understand the meaning, but after coming to this world for so long, he encountered so many things.
Gu Jinnian became more and more interested in psychology.
However, there are too many things, and there is no free time for myself to feel it.
Now that he is facing the choice of school, Gu Jinnian plans to study hard for a while in the future, and at the same time calm down and understand Confucianism and Taoism in this world.
Gu Jinnian felt that he was too impatient these days.
You should read books, understand a thing or two carefully, and reflect on yourself.
"kindness."
"Well, go back and rest."
Su Wen nodded.
So Gu Jinnian resigned, and he returned to his residence alone.
After the imperial examination ended, Daxia Academy was much deserted, and [-]% of the students went back, similar to Wang Fugui, they also went home.
The rest more or less also left the academy, except for some great scholars and masters, there were no other scholars in the academy.
Although a bit lonely, it is also considered clean.
in this way.
Half a month has passed.
In the past half a month, Gu Jinnian went to bed early and woke up early every day, writing national policies during the day, and enlightening the Tao at night, about learning about the mind.
What I have to say is that, looking back to understand Mr. Shouren's psychology, Gu Jinnian has countless thoughts.
This psychology is too in line with Gu Jinnian's three views.
The unity of knowledge and action is conscience.
This sentence alone can make people spend their entire lives studying it.
What is knowing?
what is one
How to practice?And how to practice it?
These are very esoteric.
Gu Jinnian could only slowly comprehend it from the four sentences.
There is no good and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious actions.
From good to evil is conscience, and doing good to evil is investigating things.
Without these four sentences, it would be difficult for Gu Jinnian to understand.
However, Gu Jinnian has also studied the study of the mind. The study of the mind originated from the Yasheng Mencius, and Mr. Shou Ren gave a perfect supplement to the study of the mind.
Everyone has their own opinions on Confucianism. In the past half month, Gu Jinnian was sometimes extremely confused.
Even sleep and dream for several days thinking about psychology.
So that the idea is difficult to get through.
But sometimes it feels like something has been grasped, but it disappears in a flash.
This feeling is very painful, so Gu Jinnian had to forcibly reverse his thinking and focus on national policy.
There is no other reason.
If you keep studying psychology, something will happen to you.
If you don't have enough experience, trying to understand it by force is easy to get into a dead end.
You don’t know whether it’s right or wrong for many things. Today you think it means one thing, but tomorrow you think it means something else. If you repeat this over and over again, it’s easy to cause big problems.
Looking back at Jinnian, I can understand why some old Confucian scholars often study for decades because of a book.
"Academic theory is really scary. I still need to gain a little more experience to understand it. With my current knowledge, if I try to forcefully understand the meaning of the saint, I'm afraid there will be big problems."
Under the window, Gu Jinnian smiled wryly. To be honest, he thought a few days ago that he would spend some time to understand the heart.
Maybe I went to Jixia Academy, created my own mind learning, and then said a sentence of unity of knowledge and action, blooming visions, and competing for the mark of destiny.
Now that I think about it, I am still too young. Many things seem to be understood, but in fact I still understand a little bit.
Only after experiencing some twists and turns can we grow.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian devoted himself wholeheartedly to national policy.
The Great Xia Dynasty was still his headquarters. To be honest, he was a little worried at first, fearing that his uncle would be jealous of him if he was too good. Later, Gu Jinnian gradually understood a few truths.
This is the world of Immortal Martial Arts, ordinary personal strength is definitely not comparable to the power of the dynasty, but when the personal strength reaches a certain level, life and death are not the dynasty's choice.
Just like myself, if I take a step forward, to put it a bit harshly, even if the king of later generations wants to kill me, it will not be an easy task.
In addition, why would the king of later generations kill himself?I simply feel that the dynasty is at its peak, so killing two heros will make it more difficult?
Logic doesn't fit.
So the Great Xia Dynasty is his base camp. Mr. Wen Jing said so much some time ago that he asked himself to join the school early, in fact, he asked himself to find a backer.
But after thinking about it during this period of time, Gu Jinnian thought of one thing, that is, the Great Xia Dynasty is also his backer.
And it is the strongest backer.
I follow Confucianism and Taoism, I follow the supremacy of the individual, and I don’t have the idea of being an emperor, plus I am also a royal family. If I really want to do something, what reason does the court have to stop me?
Moreover, Confucianism and Taoism are also born for the people. As long as the past and the present are not stupid, what they actually want is the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.
There is no contradiction with myself.
Therefore, to make the Great Xia Dynasty prosperous is not only to look forward to Jackie Chan, but more importantly, to serve the people of the world.
To make people's lives better is not a waste of time. Everyone has to do something, nothing more than doing more or less.
Of course, the main reason is that this world is relatively boring, and it can be regarded as finding something for myself to do.
However, after collecting statistics and summarizing some data during this period, Gu Jinnian found that there were indeed many problems in the Great Xia Dynasty.
And some problems are much more serious than I imagined.
To put it simply, looking at any dynasty in ancient and modern times, there are actually three things that can't go around without it.
【Imperial Concentration】
【External Contradictions】
【People's Livelihood Plan】
Centralization of imperial power does not care about 'separation of powers between monarchs and ministers', 'rebellion between vassal kings', 'supremacy of theocracy'.
The separation of powers between monarchs and ministers, the prime minister is a typical example, which divided the power of the emperor, but this is okay, there are benefits to canceling, and there are benefits to not canceling.
Looking back at history, Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system, and the imperial power has been strengthened unprecedentedly. Is this a good thing?
On the surface, at least it was a good thing during Ming Taizu's reign, because the emperor had the final say alone, and he didn't worry about this or that, and he handled things very neatly.
Later, Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji were all pretty good, because they met Ming Jun.
When you encounter the existence of the Great Ming God of War, you will be happy. Without the constraints of the prime minister, the emperor can do whatever he wants. The 50 troops are exchanged for the change of the civil fort.
In the words of later generations, a pig with an army of 50 will not lose so badly.
The Great Ming God of War has a thousand ways to not lose, but he chose the thousand and one way to lose.
For today's Great Xia Dynasty, the problem of separation of powers between monarchs and ministers is not very big.
The vassal rebellion is the most serious problem of the Great Xia Dynasty today. Theocracy itself has been suppressed, at least it is impossible for theocracy to happen in a short period of time.
King Ning is a huge hidden danger. If King Ning is not resolved, then it doesn't matter whether it is "spreading into the mu" or suppressing the powerful, but anything that infringes on the interests of this group of powerful families should not be implemented.
Once you implement it, these aristocratic families and dignitaries will start a joint rebellion.
Why did Emperor Jiande lose?
Part of the reason is that Emperor Yongsheng was too fierce, and the Gu family was too fierce. The other half of the reason is that after Emperor Jiande took office, he still suppressed the family very fiercely, inheriting the ideas of Taizu, and at the same time, in order to raise the status of scholars, thus encroach on the interests of the family.
After all, Emperor Jiande's teacher was one of the most important figures in Zhu Xueyi's school, and later committed suicide and died for the country.
on white paper.
Gu Jinnian also slowly wrote down 'Rebellion of the Feudal King'.
This is the top priority.
If this matter is not resolved, my old uncle will have trouble sleeping and eating, and my dream of enjoying his old age will be shattered.
External conflicts are easy to say, the Huns have already been honest, although they know that the Huns must have other ideas.
But at least the current external conflicts of the Great Xia Dynasty are almost zero. It was originally competing with the Great Jin Dynasty, but now because of the Dragon Ball of the National Luck, the big guys are going to join forces to fight against the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
This matter should be handled by the imperial court itself. Could all civil and military officials be regarded as waste?
And people's livelihood is also the most important point.
Leaving aside the chaos of the vassal kings, the scourge of King Ning will be eliminated sooner or later.
On the contrary, Gu Jinnian didn't have a headache for King Ning. Sooner or later, he had to fight. After the fight, the result was nothing more than losing or winning, but no matter whether he lost or won, he would make fuss about the people's livelihood in the future.
Whether it is the imperial court, the common people, or powerful families, the core of all forces is actually 'silver'.
If you don't believe me, you can go to the court meeting for a day.
Although the scriptures played by the officials of the six ministries vary every day, they are not the same as they are said.
There was a severe drought in Daxia, and I asked for funding.
Officials' salaries are too low, so ask for funding.
The queen mother's birthday is coming, and she is asking for funding.
Envoys from various countries came and asked for funds.
The weapons and horses are outdated, and I ask for funding.
Hubu: I don't listen, I don't listen.
That's roughly it.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongsheng was a career-oriented emperor. If he were to be replaced by a pleasure-seeking emperor, there would probably be more troublesome things.
And this people's livelihood plan is nothing more than three.
Eat well, wear warm clothes, and save money.
Then it involves building bridges and roads, business promotion, tax adjustment, and so on.
Gu Jinnian specially transferred the dossiers of recent years from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The final conclusion is that.
The Great Xia Dynasty was completely deficit finance.
First of all, in terms of tax collection, it is a mess. Anyway, there are many weird accounts, but Gu Jinnian fully believes that it is absolutely impossible for the Ministry of Households to miscalculate the accounts. The only possibility is the half-ancestral system and half-new system.
Use Taizu's set to collect part of the tax, and then set up some new rules by yourself to collect part of the tax.
If the accounts are not chaotic, there will be ghosts.
The annual revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty treasury totaled [-] million taels of silver.
But the Great Xia Dynasty spends as much as [-] million taels of silver a year.
How can I get the extra ten million taels of silver?It is to pay off debts. All kinds of things are used to pay off debts. The official salt rolls alone have a deficit account of 8000 to [-] million taels of silver.
The general meaning is that the treasury is out of money, and the official salt rolls are used to pay off the debt. This thing can be exchanged for salt, and you can use it yourself to toss.
As for other miscellaneous things, it is even more chaotic.
To solve this problem, the best way is [Unified Tax Items] plus [Throttling].
The main tax of the Great Xia Dynasty is the grain tax, so the per-acre tax can effectively solve this big problem. The tax is collected according to the field. No matter how many people there are in your family, one mu of land is collected according to one mu of land. It can greatly increase tax revenue and effectively combat some nominal tax avoidance situations.
At the same time, all benefits will be cancelled, at least those powerful families must be dealt with severely, including scholars, as well as the royal family and nobles.
To put it bluntly, most of these nobles are vampires. They receive their salaries from the treasury every month, and then use their own status to avoid taxes for tenants and earn the difference between middlemen. This thing must be severely suppressed.
If this step can be achieved, then a unified tax item can be implemented to suppress the price of grain tax to about [-]%.
Daxia's tax is [-]% which is equivalent to a direct reduction of [-]%. The common people are naturally overjoyed, and it is only the rich and powerful who are unlucky.
Of course, this idea is very beautiful, but if you want to implement it, you can't avoid the previous topic.
Push the order first.
Kill King Ning again.
Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
Thunder means.
Only in this way can it be implemented, otherwise don't even think about it, the royal family and nobles are the strongest backers of such aristocratic families, if they don't do it, they will never think about benefiting the people.
As for throttling, it's simple, ask for what you need, and don't give what you don't need.
Within the scope of the rules, follow the rules.
Outside the scope of the rules, you must not mess around.
Taking land to pay off debts, taking salt rolls to pay off debts, this behavior is nonsense, although it can solve the urgent situation, but the unlucky one is the next generation of emperors.
Gu Jinnian could have imagined that if Li Ji could really ascend to the palace, this guy would not have to say anything about showing off his might, and would guarantee that all officials would gather at the door every day to collect debts.
One by one, Li Ji was urged to give the money.
At that time, according to Li Ji's personality, ninety-nine out of ten would choose to lay down and let the civil and military officials handle it by themselves.
How can civil and military officials deal with it?We can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Even if a capable minister comes, it will be useless. The hole is too big. It will definitely not be solved in 20 or 30 years. It will take at least two generations to fill the hole.
Who will fill the hole.
People chant, who else can it be.
"The matter of throttling must be dealt with as soon as possible. Although the Ministry of Finance is not pulling out a dime, it is also a bunch of idiots."
"Money is not saved, but reasonable savings plus earned money. If you don't take out a dime, you are a miser at most, and the rest is useless."
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help complaining to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He had a good impression of the Ministry of Accounts before, and thought it was good that the Ministry of Accounts could hold back money.
Now it seems that the household department will only keep this little money.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian continued to write on the white paper.
Almost three hours passed.
In the end, Gu Jinnian wrote the complete plan, which is the most concise national policy.
In order to worry that the old uncle would not understand, Gu Jinnian even gave many examples.
But the whole article, after all, can't get around "Killing King Ning".
If King Ning doesn't kill him, he can't do anything.
After finishing the article, Gu Jinnian also took a break, and took out the beautiful map of Jiangshan by the way.
All in all, it's been a month.
Gu Jinnian intends to take a look at the situation in the Splendid Picture.
After taking out the splendid picture.
Among the [-] mu of fertile land in the map, all the ears of Zhenlong rice are full and ready to be harvested.
The ears of Zhenlong rice are fully mature.
Gu Jinnian harvested a small part, about a hundred stalks of rice, and after taking it out, a strong rice fragrance filled the heart.
Without any fuss, Gu Jinnian used his magic power to peel off the husks, and grains of real dragon treasure rice that were as perfect as pearls appeared.
Soon Gu Jinnian went to the dining room in person to light a fire and cook.
In less than half an hour, the heart-warming aroma of rice came over, and the rice in the pot was extremely white, like white jade pearls.
There is a bowl, just not too much, no seasoning is needed, just the smell makes people move their index fingers and take the first bite.
The rice fragrance is overflowing, with a sweet taste, it tastes very chewy, chew a few mouthfuls, and the mouth is full of fragrance.
In less than a moment, Gu Jinnian ate a large bowl of real dragon rice.
Soon a warm feeling came from the stomach, and then turned into pure zhenqi, spreading in the body.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help clicking his tongue after comprehending it carefully.
"Under the three realms of Martial Dao, eating it has an effect."
"Eating it for ordinary people can strengthen your body. Not to mention all diseases are invulnerable, but at least you won't get some cold and cough in the future."
"It's really a good thing."
"And this big bowl of rice can replenish my energy. For ordinary people, if the whole family eats one bowl, they won't be hungry for two or three days. For soldiers, eating half a bowl a day can be full of energy. all day."
"hiss."
Gu Jinnian was really shocked.
He is a strong King of Wu, and he would feel full of energy after eating a bowl of rice like this. For ordinary people, he would definitely not be able to consume the nutrition brought by a bowl of real dragon treasure rice, unless he got used to eating it later and improved his physique.
Otherwise, the bowl that Gu Jinnian ate just now would be enough for five or six members of the family for three days.
In other words, it is directly equivalent to triple the yield per mu.
Gu Jinnian's first step is to hope that the people will have enough to eat.
It's not that I hope everyone is a warrior.
It is best to change slowly, and it is impossible to become fat in one breath.
"Dajinlong rice also has this effect, but the main purpose of Dajinlong rice is to improve the body, but it can't achieve such an effect. It can improve the body and make you full."
"However, these are real dragon rice ears, and they are planted with the help of Jiangshan Jinxiu Map, so there may be special bonuses."
"It needs to be planted with ordinary fertile land. After all, Jiangshan Splendid Map is only [-] mu in size, and it is far from being able to provide it to the people of Daxia."
Gu Jinnian also understood why Baomi was so good.
He thought for a while, returned to his residence, and took out the picture of Jiangshan Jinxiu again.
In the paddy field, there are a lot of new seeds.
Speaking of the collection of these seeds, which were about a hundred catties, Gu Jinnian found a sack to put them in.
Then I went to find Su Huaiyu.
Asking Su Huaiyu to handle this matter is basically asking Su Huaiyu to find different fertile fields for planting experiments.
It is best to use several different kinds of land, good farmland, good farmland, ordinary cultivated land, almost cultivated land, and cultivated land that is not suitable for planting, as well as in the desert, try them all, or even plant them by the sea and water them with sea water , See if you can breed rice.
If you can.
Then this time it is really developed.
Directly solve the food crisis in Daxia.
And this is also the confidence to negotiate with the Dajin Dynasty in the future.
But when he heard that he was asked to farm, Su Huaiyu immediately refused.
"Master Hou."
"It's Daxia's rule to call you Lord Marquis, and to call yourself a subordinate is to give the old man face."
"You asked me to run errands. Su never complained. You ask me to farm now? Do you want me to fertilize tomorrow?"
"Forgive Su for not agreeing to this matter."
Su Huaiyu's attitude is very firm.
Directly reject Gu Jinnian's rude request.
The reason why Su Huaiyu was chosen was entirely because this item was expensive, and he had to find a trustworthy and reliable person to test it, and he was not at ease looking for someone else.
I just didn't expect Su Huaiyu to refuse so directly.
"Brother Su."
"Great Xia's Nightless City, whether it can make a fortune every day depends on this bag of rice."
"If you don't want to, don't blame me for cheating you if you lose money."
Since Su Huaiyu refused to agree, Gu Jinnian could only do something wrong.
Upon hearing this.
Su Huaiyu cheered up immediately.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Although Su is a warrior, he also understands the feelings of family and country."
"To be honest, Su has always had a dream, that is, that everyone has food to eat."
"Leave this to me."
Su Huaiyu became very enthusiastic when he heard that he had something to do with Yinzi.
In this way, Su Huaiyu left the academy with the seeds in hand.
Gu Jinnian didn't care where he went, anyway, he explained clearly, confidentiality, safety, and the result.
It doesn't matter how you toss, just tell yourself the situation later.
in this way.
After Su Huaiyu left, Gu Jinnian went back to continue thinking about things.
And so.
until late at night.
A group of figures galloped towards Daxia Capital at a speed of [-] urgency.
"Three thousand miles urgent document! Quick! Quick! Get out of the way!"
"Five thousand li urgent document! Back off quickly!"
"Eight thousand li urgent document! I want to see the saint!"
"Urgent documents from ten thousand li! One hundred thousand urgent!"
With the sound of roars, the tranquility of Daxia Capital was broken.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Figures appeared one after another, and everyone looked extremely haggard. They had been traveling for days and nights without even drinking a sip of water.
The most urgent official documents are all delivered by warriors, because they can run faster than horses when they reach the supernatural power level.
just tired.
"Your Majesty! Jiangzhong County suffered severe drought, there was no water flow, locusts crossed the border, and all crops disappeared overnight. I request the imperial court to allocate food and grass."
"Your Majesty! A sudden earthquake occurred in Longxi County, and all the thirteen mansions were destroyed. There were countless casualties. We request the imperial court to send troops to rescue the disaster."
"Your Majesty! The volcano in Donglin County erupted, the fire continued, and the mountains burned. Countless people died in the sea of flames, and even monsters came down the mountain to cause harm to the world. We ask the court for assistance."
"Your Majesty! Nanyue County suddenly encountered a rare heavy snowfall, the mountains and trees froze, and the water flow ceased. The affected area surpassed the nine prefectures."
followed by a sound.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Yongsheng's face instantly became extremely difficult to see.
He had expected that there would be a great summer disaster.
But what I didn't expect was that they all came in one breath, and every now and then a county was affected by the disaster. This is simply a catastrophe.
More than expected in my heart.
However, at this moment, a figure rushed over, it was Xu Taiyi's figure.
"His Majesty."
"Chen Ye looked at the sky and found seventeen flints falling towards Daxia."
Following Xu Taiyi's voice sounded.
Emperor Yongsheng was completely silent.
(End of this chapter)
"okay."
"The matter of Jixia Academy, the old man will help you handle it, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to think too much."
"If it doesn't work for three months, the old man will help you delay it for half a year."
"Nowadays the battle of fate, the university factions are actually waiting, they don't want to start so soon, they all want to prepare well, if the old man comes forward and asks for a three-month delay, these people will agree if they come."
"Jinnian, I don't expect you to get two seals of destiny in Jixia Academy, but you must get at least one. Besides, it's time for you to learn about the school."
"If you don't join the school again, you will suffer a lot in the future struggle."
"It's like this time you are fighting against Buddhism. Do you know why no one from Confucianism and Taoism comes out to help you?"
Su Wenjing spoke softly and mentioned this matter.
"Just because you didn't join the school?"
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly.
"kindness."
"Jinnian, you are the sage of later generations of Confucianism and Taoism. This was hand-picked by Confucius, and everyone in the world recognizes it. But this recognition is only a recognition that you have this talent. Many people appreciate you. If you weren't in Daxia Academy."
"Since the Confucian Mansion passed away, many people will visit you in person, not to accept you as a disciple, but to draw you into these schools."
"Confucianism and Taoism are actually divided into two worlds. For scholars who have just learned literature, poetry, songs and prose are gorgeous. This is the first one. It can be regarded as leisure entertainment and a means of quickly becoming famous."
"The real Confucianism and Taoism are disputes between schools, that is, academics. The purpose of their discussion is one, the direction of Confucianism and Taoism."
"This group of talents are the real big men of Confucianism and Taoism, not only the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, but the most important thing is their power and background. They may be old, in their seventies and eighties, and they seem to have no role, but their disciples are all over the world."
"Actually speaking, you are still too ruthless. You directly summoned Kong Sheng from the Confucian Mansion. Otherwise, according to the contradictions at that time, you could really see the methods of the Confucian Mansion."
"The Confucian Mansion's method is definitely not as simple as letting scholars scold you. To be honest, the Confucian Mansion is unlucky, and it is also destined."
When Su Wenjing mentioned this matter, he couldn't help mentioning the Confucian Mansion.
nothing else.
Who is the most powerful Confucianism and Taoism?It's not the Confucian mansion.
As a result, such a powerful force was dealt with by Gu Jinnian. To put it bluntly, if anyone dared to say that before Gu Jinnian summoned Kong Sheng, he could suppress the Kong family, and scholars all over the world would laugh at him.
Because Confucian Mansion is a giant existence.
The Daxia Confucian Mansion is the main mansion, a huge treasure ship, and those branches are locked treasure ships, sailing in the ocean, extremely powerful.
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
In addition, everyone in the Confucian Mansion will make friends and recruit disciples. The contacts accumulated over thousands of years are simply unimaginable.
It is true that many people are displeased with Confucian Mansion, and they also look down on Confucian Mansion, but so what?
Most of the people are ordinary people, facing the Confucian government's recruitment, how many scholars can withstand it?
Suppose you are a student from a humble family, you have good aptitude, and you win the Juren, if at this time, someone from the Confucian Mansion appears and asks you if you want to join his sect?How do you choose?
Choose to decline?Punch the face of Kongfu, what can be guaranteed is that those juren who are not ranked as you are, one by one, go to various places to become officials, while you are still in the capital, waiting for an alternate, and writing a book in the university hall.
There is always a shortage of this position, especially when Emperor Yongsheng wants to build the Yongsheng Grand Ceremony. There is a shortage of people. If you refuse to accept it, go to court. Just because you have leapfrogged to sue, you will not be reused.
So no matter how talented you are, what can you do if you are not hired?
How many times do you have a chance to stand up in life?
And if you choose to agree to join the other party's sect, a county magistrate will be arranged for you immediately. Don't underestimate this county magistrate.
You can give full play to your talents, and of course you can also choose to lie flat and make money to enjoy yourself. If something happens to you, as long as the matter is not serious, the Confucian government will help you solve it.
You have not had any accidents, and you have even achieved political achievements. The Confucian government will help you get in the position, but what are the conditions for being in the position?
It is to make you never leave Confucian Mansion. Confucian Mansion can let you go up and let you come down.
When you were in your sixtieth year, you became a servant, or you became a minister of six books. Your son, your family, and everything about you have a great relationship with the Confucian Mansion.
And at this moment, someone offended the Confucian family. This person happened to be your subordinate's subordinate. What would you do?
Depose him directly?
No.
If you have a little conscience, you will let him take a job and let him spend his life empty.
If you don’t have a conscience, you entrust him with an extremely difficult task. If he can’t do it well, you will dismiss him as a matter of course, and you will be given a copy in front of the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, no matter what the process is, you have not done it. Good thing, it's your problem.
If you do a good job, it will be a surprise. Take your work as your own credit, and reward you with a month's salary later.
Then I will give you a half-rank promotion, and then I will give you a tricky task. If you can do everything well, you will be extremely talented.
Then thank you, when he becomes prime minister, he will definitely promote you to member Uiro.
Interested enough?
What?Do you have a problem?Then you go home.
get out.
This is where Confucianism is terrifying, and it can also be said that Confucianism is terrifying.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be forces and struggles.
It's a pity that the mighty Kong family was burned down by Gu Jinnian.
So Su Wenjing knew that in Gu Jinnian's mind, the Confucian family was just like that, the strongest power was wiped out by him, so what were the other Confucian and Taoist powers?
But in fact, what Su Wenjing wants to remind Gu Jinnian now is that it was not Gu Jinnian who killed the Kong family, but Kong Sheng.
The first saint between heaven and earth.
This is an invincible existence. Only this kind of existence can easily destroy the Kong family. It was not destroyed by you, Gu Jinnian, nor by the Great Xia Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, even if all the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory act together, it may not necessarily affect the Kong family.
Because the Central Continent Dynasty also needs the Kong family, the value of the Kong family is a treasure for politics.
Even if Gu Jinnian had summoned the second generation of saints when he was in the Confucian Mansion, he might not be able to hit the Confucian family like this.
Only Kong Sheng.
The ancestors of the Kong family personally suppressed the Kong family, so that the Kong family did not have any power to fight back, and they could not have the power to fight back. If they really dare to fight back, it would be to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors.
"gentlemen."
"Then how many schools of Confucianism and Taoism are there now?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"It used to be four, now it's three."
Su Wenjing answered.
"The Confucian family was originally the number one, and the way of Confucius was the highest, but now you have suppressed it."
"The second is the school of Zhu Xue. This school is very great. Even the Confucian family has to be vigilant about it. The philosophy of Zhu Xue is to preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires. It requires scholars to be strict with themselves and act carefully. , You have to learn from saints in every word and sentence, there are many people in this line."
"Before the Confucian family also had many great Confucianists, and they all admired the way of Zhu Xue."
Su Wenjing introduced the first school of thought.
Leaving aside Kong Sheng, something that everyone should learn, Zhu Xue’s lineage is the well-deserved number one school at present.
"Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy human desires?"
Gu Jinnian was a little tongue-tied, he didn't expect this kind of academics to exist in this world.
But after thinking about it, it is reasonable. After all, Confucius is the way of etiquette, and learning is a reincarnation. For hundreds of thousands of years, this kind of thinking will definitely arise.
Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires is very complicated to talk about. To describe it in the simplest terms, it is to learn from the saints everywhere, put morality first, and no matter what you do, you must learn from the saints.
This idea is actually not a big problem, but it can't stand someone messing around. The most common thing is that you are required to learn from a sage, but you haven't done it yourself, but this does not prevent you from spraying you.
This kind is okay, just criticize you, find fault, and damage your reputation.
The most frightening thing is that when you learn from saints everywhere, you become a situation of "learning" for the sake of learning, and you lose your heart.
However, this school has the largest number of people, and Gu Jinnian can probably understand it.
There is no other reason. After all, I am away from home. No matter what I do, I will say that I am imitating a saint. I am inherently invincible.
It is very likely that none of the saints have done this. After all, the five saints have done those things in their lives, who knows?
Besides, regardless of whether the sage has done it or not, when I need a sage to do this thing, then the sage must do it.
It is very similar to the classic saying, I have a friend.
"What about the third?"
Gu Jinnian asked, he didn't have much interest in Zhu Xue, he was himself, why should he imitate the saint?
"The third is Mingxue, which is derived from the knowledge of the second sage. It requires scholars to be wise and polite. Don't think about it. Mingxue has some opinions on you. They don't like to argue, but like to obey the will of heaven. , pay attention to etiquette, and the main core is to cultivate one's health."
Su Wenjing said so.
Gu Jinnian didn't know much about Ming Xue, but he had heard of it.
It is etiquette.
Yang Kai is a half-Ming Xue student.
"Sir, this Ming school seems to be the mainstream in the early years, right?"
Gu Jinnian remembered something.
"Well, it was the mainstream 2000 years ago, and scholars all over the world respected Mingxue, but after the military strategists came out, Mingxue fell into disrepair."
Su Wen nodded.
And Gu Jinnian suddenly realized that it was exactly what he thought.
Ming school was indeed the mainstream of the world 2000 years ago. It was wise and reasonable, and the big countries should also be reasonable, with etiquette as the mainstay.
At that time, when there was a war, the envoys of the two countries had to give in to each other on the battlefield, and then everyone fought according to the procedures. If the other party suffered heavy losses and called for money to withdraw troops, they had to stop.
They even had to send some supplies over to avoid problems with the other party.
Later, military strategists came out, and they didn't follow any rules when fighting. They didn't bother to take advantage of the victory, and they never tire of deceit, sneak attack, fire attack, and siege.
It is precisely because of this that many countries that respected Ming studies have perished, and the kings of various countries have seen it for a long time.
This kind of knowledge kills people. It’s okay for everyone to be reasonable, but it’s impossible to play when you encounter someone who is unreasonable.
And you can't help it, you unite with everyone to condemn him, and then he feels very uncomfortable. In order to prevent everyone from condemning himself, you simply kill everyone together, so that no one will say anything about yourself.
Therefore, Mingxue fell instantly, but with the advent of the prosperous age, Mingxue returned to the mainstream. Of course, this time it is an improved version of Mingxue, the etiquette among scholars, and respect for teachers.
Heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers are the core of Mingxue, which perfectly meets political needs, so Mingxue has been promoted again. Of course, military strategists still ignore it, but they will take it out when needed, and no one will take care of it when they don't need it.
"What about the fourth?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
"The fourth is to take the Confucianism of the last sage as the main body, called Guoxue, and become an official to benefit the people."
Su Wenjing explained.
Gu Jinnian understood this.
This is the mainstream of the current major dynasties. No matter how knowledgeable a person is, his ability is limited after all. This ability mainly depends on his status.
If a scholar is a teacher, even if he teaches a hundred students, one class every three years, he will only have two thousand students in 60 years of his life.
Most of these two thousand students can only stop at the stage of literacy.
There are at most 200 people who can really understand the truth, and there may be 30 or 30 people who can become serious scholars and step into the realm of Confucianism and Taoism. several?
Therefore, if you become an official and solve problems for the imperial court, firstly, you can be regarded as an achievement if you become an official. To benefit the common people.
Chinese studies ranked fourth, which is actually reasonable.
The first is the study of Confucius, the first sage in the world. Everything about Confucianism and Taoism is based on Confucius. Pay attention to courtesy and humility.
Both Zhuxue and Mingxue are a kind of spiritual knowledge, and Guoxue still has an element of interest in it after all, so it is reasonable to rank fourth, which is also a kind of balance.
But Gu Jinnian knew very well that Chinese studies must be ranked first, because nine out of ten scholars want to be officials, this is human nature.
"Sir, besides these four, are there others?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"Yes, it's just that there are more or less problems with other schools of thought. For example, the Zonghengxue, Yinyangxue, etc., which came out a few years ago, are of all kinds, but none of them have been recognized by Jixia Academy."
"Jinnian, according to the old man's opinion, it is better for you to study in China. Your temperament is not suitable for joining Zhu Xue. You can't restrain yourself. Ming Xue already has some opinions on you, so there is no need to ask for trouble."
"The words of Chinese studies are just right, you are a powerful person in the Great Xia, so it is reasonable to enroll in Chinese studies."
"Of course, what it is is up to you."
Su Wenjing gave his own ideas.
"Students, think about it carefully."
Gu Jinnian nodded, looking thoughtful.
The study of Confucian saints is equivalent to an enlightenment, and the Confucian family has always controlled it. Majoring in the study of Confucian saints is tantamount to entering the Confucian family, and Gu Jinnian does not want to go.
According to Zhu Xue, it is not suitable for me to preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires. It is only suitable for people with high natural moral character and strong self-control ability. Definitely not going to do it.
For example, if you say that you can't waste food, you can't waste it at all. In a sense, it is more ruthless than Buddhist ascetics.
Not to mention Ming Xue, if you don't know how to adapt to the way of a gentleman, you will be bullied. Although you can also show your noble character, it is yourself who is wronged.
Guoxue. Joining in, a lot of things are mixed inexplicably. Gu Jinnian actually doesn't want to touch politics.
His idea is to spread out his peripheral vision, improve the country, and help as much as possible, and let the dynasty handle the rest, rest when he should rest, and rush to retire to work.
But what Su Wenjing said is absolutely right, Chinese studies are indeed the most suitable for me now.
Unless you don't enter any school, then it's not very good.
"You have to think about it carefully."
Gu Jinnian murmured in his heart that he was not very satisfied with all of this.
If I have to say that I am most satisfied, it is actually "Xin Xue". Before time travel, Gu Jinnian had studied Xin Xue. At that time, he didn't understand the meaning, but after coming to this world for so long, he encountered so many things.
Gu Jinnian became more and more interested in psychology.
However, there are too many things, and there is no free time for myself to feel it.
Now that he is facing the choice of school, Gu Jinnian plans to study hard for a while in the future, and at the same time calm down and understand Confucianism and Taoism in this world.
Gu Jinnian felt that he was too impatient these days.
You should read books, understand a thing or two carefully, and reflect on yourself.
"kindness."
"Well, go back and rest."
Su Wen nodded.
So Gu Jinnian resigned, and he returned to his residence alone.
After the imperial examination ended, Daxia Academy was much deserted, and [-]% of the students went back, similar to Wang Fugui, they also went home.
The rest more or less also left the academy, except for some great scholars and masters, there were no other scholars in the academy.
Although a bit lonely, it is also considered clean.
in this way.
Half a month has passed.
In the past half a month, Gu Jinnian went to bed early and woke up early every day, writing national policies during the day, and enlightening the Tao at night, about learning about the mind.
What I have to say is that, looking back to understand Mr. Shouren's psychology, Gu Jinnian has countless thoughts.
This psychology is too in line with Gu Jinnian's three views.
The unity of knowledge and action is conscience.
This sentence alone can make people spend their entire lives studying it.
What is knowing?
what is one
How to practice?And how to practice it?
These are very esoteric.
Gu Jinnian could only slowly comprehend it from the four sentences.
There is no good and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious actions.
From good to evil is conscience, and doing good to evil is investigating things.
Without these four sentences, it would be difficult for Gu Jinnian to understand.
However, Gu Jinnian has also studied the study of the mind. The study of the mind originated from the Yasheng Mencius, and Mr. Shou Ren gave a perfect supplement to the study of the mind.
Everyone has their own opinions on Confucianism. In the past half month, Gu Jinnian was sometimes extremely confused.
Even sleep and dream for several days thinking about psychology.
So that the idea is difficult to get through.
But sometimes it feels like something has been grasped, but it disappears in a flash.
This feeling is very painful, so Gu Jinnian had to forcibly reverse his thinking and focus on national policy.
There is no other reason.
If you keep studying psychology, something will happen to you.
If you don't have enough experience, trying to understand it by force is easy to get into a dead end.
You don’t know whether it’s right or wrong for many things. Today you think it means one thing, but tomorrow you think it means something else. If you repeat this over and over again, it’s easy to cause big problems.
Looking back at Jinnian, I can understand why some old Confucian scholars often study for decades because of a book.
"Academic theory is really scary. I still need to gain a little more experience to understand it. With my current knowledge, if I try to forcefully understand the meaning of the saint, I'm afraid there will be big problems."
Under the window, Gu Jinnian smiled wryly. To be honest, he thought a few days ago that he would spend some time to understand the heart.
Maybe I went to Jixia Academy, created my own mind learning, and then said a sentence of unity of knowledge and action, blooming visions, and competing for the mark of destiny.
Now that I think about it, I am still too young. Many things seem to be understood, but in fact I still understand a little bit.
Only after experiencing some twists and turns can we grow.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian devoted himself wholeheartedly to national policy.
The Great Xia Dynasty was still his headquarters. To be honest, he was a little worried at first, fearing that his uncle would be jealous of him if he was too good. Later, Gu Jinnian gradually understood a few truths.
This is the world of Immortal Martial Arts, ordinary personal strength is definitely not comparable to the power of the dynasty, but when the personal strength reaches a certain level, life and death are not the dynasty's choice.
Just like myself, if I take a step forward, to put it a bit harshly, even if the king of later generations wants to kill me, it will not be an easy task.
In addition, why would the king of later generations kill himself?I simply feel that the dynasty is at its peak, so killing two heros will make it more difficult?
Logic doesn't fit.
So the Great Xia Dynasty is his base camp. Mr. Wen Jing said so much some time ago that he asked himself to join the school early, in fact, he asked himself to find a backer.
But after thinking about it during this period of time, Gu Jinnian thought of one thing, that is, the Great Xia Dynasty is also his backer.
And it is the strongest backer.
I follow Confucianism and Taoism, I follow the supremacy of the individual, and I don’t have the idea of being an emperor, plus I am also a royal family. If I really want to do something, what reason does the court have to stop me?
Moreover, Confucianism and Taoism are also born for the people. As long as the past and the present are not stupid, what they actually want is the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.
There is no contradiction with myself.
Therefore, to make the Great Xia Dynasty prosperous is not only to look forward to Jackie Chan, but more importantly, to serve the people of the world.
To make people's lives better is not a waste of time. Everyone has to do something, nothing more than doing more or less.
Of course, the main reason is that this world is relatively boring, and it can be regarded as finding something for myself to do.
However, after collecting statistics and summarizing some data during this period, Gu Jinnian found that there were indeed many problems in the Great Xia Dynasty.
And some problems are much more serious than I imagined.
To put it simply, looking at any dynasty in ancient and modern times, there are actually three things that can't go around without it.
【Imperial Concentration】
【External Contradictions】
【People's Livelihood Plan】
Centralization of imperial power does not care about 'separation of powers between monarchs and ministers', 'rebellion between vassal kings', 'supremacy of theocracy'.
The separation of powers between monarchs and ministers, the prime minister is a typical example, which divided the power of the emperor, but this is okay, there are benefits to canceling, and there are benefits to not canceling.
Looking back at history, Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system, and the imperial power has been strengthened unprecedentedly. Is this a good thing?
On the surface, at least it was a good thing during Ming Taizu's reign, because the emperor had the final say alone, and he didn't worry about this or that, and he handled things very neatly.
Later, Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji were all pretty good, because they met Ming Jun.
When you encounter the existence of the Great Ming God of War, you will be happy. Without the constraints of the prime minister, the emperor can do whatever he wants. The 50 troops are exchanged for the change of the civil fort.
In the words of later generations, a pig with an army of 50 will not lose so badly.
The Great Ming God of War has a thousand ways to not lose, but he chose the thousand and one way to lose.
For today's Great Xia Dynasty, the problem of separation of powers between monarchs and ministers is not very big.
The vassal rebellion is the most serious problem of the Great Xia Dynasty today. Theocracy itself has been suppressed, at least it is impossible for theocracy to happen in a short period of time.
King Ning is a huge hidden danger. If King Ning is not resolved, then it doesn't matter whether it is "spreading into the mu" or suppressing the powerful, but anything that infringes on the interests of this group of powerful families should not be implemented.
Once you implement it, these aristocratic families and dignitaries will start a joint rebellion.
Why did Emperor Jiande lose?
Part of the reason is that Emperor Yongsheng was too fierce, and the Gu family was too fierce. The other half of the reason is that after Emperor Jiande took office, he still suppressed the family very fiercely, inheriting the ideas of Taizu, and at the same time, in order to raise the status of scholars, thus encroach on the interests of the family.
After all, Emperor Jiande's teacher was one of the most important figures in Zhu Xueyi's school, and later committed suicide and died for the country.
on white paper.
Gu Jinnian also slowly wrote down 'Rebellion of the Feudal King'.
This is the top priority.
If this matter is not resolved, my old uncle will have trouble sleeping and eating, and my dream of enjoying his old age will be shattered.
External conflicts are easy to say, the Huns have already been honest, although they know that the Huns must have other ideas.
But at least the current external conflicts of the Great Xia Dynasty are almost zero. It was originally competing with the Great Jin Dynasty, but now because of the Dragon Ball of the National Luck, the big guys are going to join forces to fight against the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
This matter should be handled by the imperial court itself. Could all civil and military officials be regarded as waste?
And people's livelihood is also the most important point.
Leaving aside the chaos of the vassal kings, the scourge of King Ning will be eliminated sooner or later.
On the contrary, Gu Jinnian didn't have a headache for King Ning. Sooner or later, he had to fight. After the fight, the result was nothing more than losing or winning, but no matter whether he lost or won, he would make fuss about the people's livelihood in the future.
Whether it is the imperial court, the common people, or powerful families, the core of all forces is actually 'silver'.
If you don't believe me, you can go to the court meeting for a day.
Although the scriptures played by the officials of the six ministries vary every day, they are not the same as they are said.
There was a severe drought in Daxia, and I asked for funding.
Officials' salaries are too low, so ask for funding.
The queen mother's birthday is coming, and she is asking for funding.
Envoys from various countries came and asked for funds.
The weapons and horses are outdated, and I ask for funding.
Hubu: I don't listen, I don't listen.
That's roughly it.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongsheng was a career-oriented emperor. If he were to be replaced by a pleasure-seeking emperor, there would probably be more troublesome things.
And this people's livelihood plan is nothing more than three.
Eat well, wear warm clothes, and save money.
Then it involves building bridges and roads, business promotion, tax adjustment, and so on.
Gu Jinnian specially transferred the dossiers of recent years from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The final conclusion is that.
The Great Xia Dynasty was completely deficit finance.
First of all, in terms of tax collection, it is a mess. Anyway, there are many weird accounts, but Gu Jinnian fully believes that it is absolutely impossible for the Ministry of Households to miscalculate the accounts. The only possibility is the half-ancestral system and half-new system.
Use Taizu's set to collect part of the tax, and then set up some new rules by yourself to collect part of the tax.
If the accounts are not chaotic, there will be ghosts.
The annual revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty treasury totaled [-] million taels of silver.
But the Great Xia Dynasty spends as much as [-] million taels of silver a year.
How can I get the extra ten million taels of silver?It is to pay off debts. All kinds of things are used to pay off debts. The official salt rolls alone have a deficit account of 8000 to [-] million taels of silver.
The general meaning is that the treasury is out of money, and the official salt rolls are used to pay off the debt. This thing can be exchanged for salt, and you can use it yourself to toss.
As for other miscellaneous things, it is even more chaotic.
To solve this problem, the best way is [Unified Tax Items] plus [Throttling].
The main tax of the Great Xia Dynasty is the grain tax, so the per-acre tax can effectively solve this big problem. The tax is collected according to the field. No matter how many people there are in your family, one mu of land is collected according to one mu of land. It can greatly increase tax revenue and effectively combat some nominal tax avoidance situations.
At the same time, all benefits will be cancelled, at least those powerful families must be dealt with severely, including scholars, as well as the royal family and nobles.
To put it bluntly, most of these nobles are vampires. They receive their salaries from the treasury every month, and then use their own status to avoid taxes for tenants and earn the difference between middlemen. This thing must be severely suppressed.
If this step can be achieved, then a unified tax item can be implemented to suppress the price of grain tax to about [-]%.
Daxia's tax is [-]% which is equivalent to a direct reduction of [-]%. The common people are naturally overjoyed, and it is only the rich and powerful who are unlucky.
Of course, this idea is very beautiful, but if you want to implement it, you can't avoid the previous topic.
Push the order first.
Kill King Ning again.
Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
Thunder means.
Only in this way can it be implemented, otherwise don't even think about it, the royal family and nobles are the strongest backers of such aristocratic families, if they don't do it, they will never think about benefiting the people.
As for throttling, it's simple, ask for what you need, and don't give what you don't need.
Within the scope of the rules, follow the rules.
Outside the scope of the rules, you must not mess around.
Taking land to pay off debts, taking salt rolls to pay off debts, this behavior is nonsense, although it can solve the urgent situation, but the unlucky one is the next generation of emperors.
Gu Jinnian could have imagined that if Li Ji could really ascend to the palace, this guy would not have to say anything about showing off his might, and would guarantee that all officials would gather at the door every day to collect debts.
One by one, Li Ji was urged to give the money.
At that time, according to Li Ji's personality, ninety-nine out of ten would choose to lay down and let the civil and military officials handle it by themselves.
How can civil and military officials deal with it?We can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Even if a capable minister comes, it will be useless. The hole is too big. It will definitely not be solved in 20 or 30 years. It will take at least two generations to fill the hole.
Who will fill the hole.
People chant, who else can it be.
"The matter of throttling must be dealt with as soon as possible. Although the Ministry of Finance is not pulling out a dime, it is also a bunch of idiots."
"Money is not saved, but reasonable savings plus earned money. If you don't take out a dime, you are a miser at most, and the rest is useless."
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help complaining to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He had a good impression of the Ministry of Accounts before, and thought it was good that the Ministry of Accounts could hold back money.
Now it seems that the household department will only keep this little money.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian continued to write on the white paper.
Almost three hours passed.
In the end, Gu Jinnian wrote the complete plan, which is the most concise national policy.
In order to worry that the old uncle would not understand, Gu Jinnian even gave many examples.
But the whole article, after all, can't get around "Killing King Ning".
If King Ning doesn't kill him, he can't do anything.
After finishing the article, Gu Jinnian also took a break, and took out the beautiful map of Jiangshan by the way.
All in all, it's been a month.
Gu Jinnian intends to take a look at the situation in the Splendid Picture.
After taking out the splendid picture.
Among the [-] mu of fertile land in the map, all the ears of Zhenlong rice are full and ready to be harvested.
The ears of Zhenlong rice are fully mature.
Gu Jinnian harvested a small part, about a hundred stalks of rice, and after taking it out, a strong rice fragrance filled the heart.
Without any fuss, Gu Jinnian used his magic power to peel off the husks, and grains of real dragon treasure rice that were as perfect as pearls appeared.
Soon Gu Jinnian went to the dining room in person to light a fire and cook.
In less than half an hour, the heart-warming aroma of rice came over, and the rice in the pot was extremely white, like white jade pearls.
There is a bowl, just not too much, no seasoning is needed, just the smell makes people move their index fingers and take the first bite.
The rice fragrance is overflowing, with a sweet taste, it tastes very chewy, chew a few mouthfuls, and the mouth is full of fragrance.
In less than a moment, Gu Jinnian ate a large bowl of real dragon rice.
Soon a warm feeling came from the stomach, and then turned into pure zhenqi, spreading in the body.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help clicking his tongue after comprehending it carefully.
"Under the three realms of Martial Dao, eating it has an effect."
"Eating it for ordinary people can strengthen your body. Not to mention all diseases are invulnerable, but at least you won't get some cold and cough in the future."
"It's really a good thing."
"And this big bowl of rice can replenish my energy. For ordinary people, if the whole family eats one bowl, they won't be hungry for two or three days. For soldiers, eating half a bowl a day can be full of energy. all day."
"hiss."
Gu Jinnian was really shocked.
He is a strong King of Wu, and he would feel full of energy after eating a bowl of rice like this. For ordinary people, he would definitely not be able to consume the nutrition brought by a bowl of real dragon treasure rice, unless he got used to eating it later and improved his physique.
Otherwise, the bowl that Gu Jinnian ate just now would be enough for five or six members of the family for three days.
In other words, it is directly equivalent to triple the yield per mu.
Gu Jinnian's first step is to hope that the people will have enough to eat.
It's not that I hope everyone is a warrior.
It is best to change slowly, and it is impossible to become fat in one breath.
"Dajinlong rice also has this effect, but the main purpose of Dajinlong rice is to improve the body, but it can't achieve such an effect. It can improve the body and make you full."
"However, these are real dragon rice ears, and they are planted with the help of Jiangshan Jinxiu Map, so there may be special bonuses."
"It needs to be planted with ordinary fertile land. After all, Jiangshan Splendid Map is only [-] mu in size, and it is far from being able to provide it to the people of Daxia."
Gu Jinnian also understood why Baomi was so good.
He thought for a while, returned to his residence, and took out the picture of Jiangshan Jinxiu again.
In the paddy field, there are a lot of new seeds.
Speaking of the collection of these seeds, which were about a hundred catties, Gu Jinnian found a sack to put them in.
Then I went to find Su Huaiyu.
Asking Su Huaiyu to handle this matter is basically asking Su Huaiyu to find different fertile fields for planting experiments.
It is best to use several different kinds of land, good farmland, good farmland, ordinary cultivated land, almost cultivated land, and cultivated land that is not suitable for planting, as well as in the desert, try them all, or even plant them by the sea and water them with sea water , See if you can breed rice.
If you can.
Then this time it is really developed.
Directly solve the food crisis in Daxia.
And this is also the confidence to negotiate with the Dajin Dynasty in the future.
But when he heard that he was asked to farm, Su Huaiyu immediately refused.
"Master Hou."
"It's Daxia's rule to call you Lord Marquis, and to call yourself a subordinate is to give the old man face."
"You asked me to run errands. Su never complained. You ask me to farm now? Do you want me to fertilize tomorrow?"
"Forgive Su for not agreeing to this matter."
Su Huaiyu's attitude is very firm.
Directly reject Gu Jinnian's rude request.
The reason why Su Huaiyu was chosen was entirely because this item was expensive, and he had to find a trustworthy and reliable person to test it, and he was not at ease looking for someone else.
I just didn't expect Su Huaiyu to refuse so directly.
"Brother Su."
"Great Xia's Nightless City, whether it can make a fortune every day depends on this bag of rice."
"If you don't want to, don't blame me for cheating you if you lose money."
Since Su Huaiyu refused to agree, Gu Jinnian could only do something wrong.
Upon hearing this.
Su Huaiyu cheered up immediately.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Although Su is a warrior, he also understands the feelings of family and country."
"To be honest, Su has always had a dream, that is, that everyone has food to eat."
"Leave this to me."
Su Huaiyu became very enthusiastic when he heard that he had something to do with Yinzi.
In this way, Su Huaiyu left the academy with the seeds in hand.
Gu Jinnian didn't care where he went, anyway, he explained clearly, confidentiality, safety, and the result.
It doesn't matter how you toss, just tell yourself the situation later.
in this way.
After Su Huaiyu left, Gu Jinnian went back to continue thinking about things.
And so.
until late at night.
A group of figures galloped towards Daxia Capital at a speed of [-] urgency.
"Three thousand miles urgent document! Quick! Quick! Get out of the way!"
"Five thousand li urgent document! Back off quickly!"
"Eight thousand li urgent document! I want to see the saint!"
"Urgent documents from ten thousand li! One hundred thousand urgent!"
With the sound of roars, the tranquility of Daxia Capital was broken.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Figures appeared one after another, and everyone looked extremely haggard. They had been traveling for days and nights without even drinking a sip of water.
The most urgent official documents are all delivered by warriors, because they can run faster than horses when they reach the supernatural power level.
just tired.
"Your Majesty! Jiangzhong County suffered severe drought, there was no water flow, locusts crossed the border, and all crops disappeared overnight. I request the imperial court to allocate food and grass."
"Your Majesty! A sudden earthquake occurred in Longxi County, and all the thirteen mansions were destroyed. There were countless casualties. We request the imperial court to send troops to rescue the disaster."
"Your Majesty! The volcano in Donglin County erupted, the fire continued, and the mountains burned. Countless people died in the sea of flames, and even monsters came down the mountain to cause harm to the world. We ask the court for assistance."
"Your Majesty! Nanyue County suddenly encountered a rare heavy snowfall, the mountains and trees froze, and the water flow ceased. The affected area surpassed the nine prefectures."
followed by a sound.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Yongsheng's face instantly became extremely difficult to see.
He had expected that there would be a great summer disaster.
But what I didn't expect was that they all came in one breath, and every now and then a county was affected by the disaster. This is simply a catastrophe.
More than expected in my heart.
However, at this moment, a figure rushed over, it was Xu Taiyi's figure.
"His Majesty."
"Chen Ye looked at the sky and found seventeen flints falling towards Daxia."
Following Xu Taiyi's voice sounded.
Emperor Yongsheng was completely silent.
