Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Yuan waved his hand with a wry smile, pointed at Chen Ying and said, "What better way do you have, let's talk about it together."

Chen Ying smiled and said: "It's not difficult to say, but it's not difficult to say. You can follow the story of entering Su Baijue, and use titles instead of income. What people want is nothing more than rich and honor. Ministers can make them rich, but they can't make them rich." They are expensive, let them be distinguished, this is the privilege of the imperial court, the former Yu Wenkai, in fact, can be regarded as a master craftsman, the way of being an official, he is still far behind, but he can still be named a prince, the position For craftsmen who do not need to socialize, ten guan is enough to live and eat, and two or three hundred guan is not very meaningful, and it is not as attractive as a title."

"Officials and nobles are the inscriptions of the country, how can they be granted lightly!" Li Yuan shook his head after hearing this and said, "This method is not appropriate!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "The Great Tang established the country with martial arts, and set up twelve rounds of military merits. Thanks to this, the generals of the Great Tang put their lives on the line and went on to serve the court and His Majesty. Your Majesty, why not set up a set of civil servants as well? To reward civil servants? For example, for a county magistrate, the population under his rule will increase by [-]%, taxes will increase by [-]%, and he has made meritorious service in enlightenment, so he can be transferred to the rank of civil honor officer for his meritorious military service?"

Chen Ying also had a brainstorm and came up with this idea.People need to walk on two legs, but the great Tang martial arts and the surrender of the barbarians are due to the twelve rounds of military merits in the Tang Dynasty. As long as they gain military merits, they can be promoted and make a fortune, so this is the only way for the poor and common people to advance. .

In the same way, because Datang paid too much attention to martial arts, Datang did not do a good job in internal governance.Civil servants and military generals all hope to open up territories for the imperial court.Because they get military merit, they can be promoted, which is the biggest benefit for them.But the method of civil servant promotion, the evaluation is too complicated.The Tang Dynasty divided Wen San officials into 29 levels. According to the principle of three-year evaluation, theoretically speaking, it takes 72 years to upgrade from the ninth rank to the first rank, and almost no one can do it.

If it is like a military officer, every battle can be used as a comment.Of course, Wenzhi cannot be the same as the official examination, but the principle of annual assessment can be adopted, and the standards adopted will be clear at a glance.

How much new arable land, how much food is produced, and how much new population a county has is like the GDP of later generations.Not only can the county magistrate be assessed, but also the censor. How many people have you impeached and how many corruptions have not been reported under your rule? These are political achievements.

For example, three provinces, six ministries, nine monasteries and five supervisors, these are twenty ministerial-level departments in the Tang Dynasty, how many of them were not evaluated?

When Chen Ying said this, Li Yuan suddenly came to his senses.In fact, this method was not initiated by Chen Ying, but the [-]th rank system of the Qin State established by Shang Yang and Shang Jun. The [-]th rank military rank of the Qin State is not only obtained by fighting, but by farmers farming. As long as you produce more food than others, or craftsmen have some major inventions, doctors invent new medicines, and how many casualties can be reduced, this is all credit.

Qin Jue's [-]th class is a big basket, and everything can be put in it.

Li Yuan can really be the founding king, so he must have something unique.When he discovered that there was an effective method for Chen Ying's proposal, Li Yuan immediately transformed the original small-scale discussion into a small court discussion. Xiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yuwen Shiji, Minister of Zhongshu, Yang Gongren, Minister of Huangmen, Feng Deyi, Minister of Dianzhong, Minister of Officials, and Prince Li Jiancheng were all invited to Ganquan Palace.

Li Jiancheng was the first to come, and he was still baffled, but when he saw Chen Ying here, Li Jiancheng walked up to Chen Ying and asked, "Chen Ying, what important matters do you want to discuss this year, Father?"

Chen Ying told Li Jiancheng exactly what happened when Li Yuan was called here today.

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and complained, "Since you have such an important proposal, why don't you go to the East Palace to discuss it with me?"

Chen Ying sighed helplessly and said: "His Royal Highness, this is a coincidence, and it was an unintentional mistake. Who would have thought that the matter would become such a big mess."

Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "You have to be prepared, I am afraid that this restructuring will be opposed by many people."

Chen Ying was puzzled by this. Historically, the Tang Dynasty conquered a huge territory, all the way to the Caspian Sea. This was the most powerful expansion of territory in Chinese history. However, because of the Battle of Talas, they lost three thousand In the territory of five hundred miles, only the four towns of Anxi were rebuilt four times.

The reason for this, apart from the population, is that Datang did not pay enough attention to the rule of law.

To put it bluntly, it was because Datang placed too much emphasis on military force in national policy, and did not have enough benefits for civil servants.

However, once all the interests are tilted to the civil officials, they will be like the Song Dynasty, where the civil officials do not want to make progress.

Chen Ying's idea is to neutralize the interests of all parties and balance all parties.

Then, both generals and civil servants can be motivated.This is a good recipe for governing the world, how could there be so many people opposing it?

However, after an hour, all the invited ministers were ordered to arrive at Ganquan Palace, after the ceremony.An old master with gray hair and a trembling beard fired at Chen Ying: "Mr. Chen, a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. You are here. You are talking nonsense, and you are talking about benefits. What kind of heart?"

"Hold the grass, I was shot while lying down!" Chen Ying looked at the old master a little strangely, and asked in puzzlement, "Who is this step?"

The old master said indifferently: "Old man Kong Yingda!"

Chapter 21 Summer Insects Can't Talk About Ice

The moment Chen Ying heard this name, he thought of Kong Yingda, one of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace.The old master was very aggressive, citing scriptures and sarcasm, pointing at Chen Ying's nose and yelling: "Little man..."

Chen Ying smiled lightly, with that expression on his face all the time.

Li Jiancheng nodded approvingly, and secretly thought that Chen Ying was well-bred, and the city was extremely deep.

However, Chen Ying didn't understand what Kong Yingda said at all.

If Li Jiancheng knew that Chen Ying was the reason, he might really be surprised.

People in this era, whether they are arguing or debating, even if they have political disagreements, they are not like shrews cursing the street, calling names and cursing.However, Kong Yingda was wasting his expressions, because Chen Ying didn't understand many meanings.

All the ministers understood, but it was difficult to say anything in front of Li Yuan.

Li Jiancheng was in a hurry. Could Kong Yingda's verbal attack on Chen Ying be a signal from Li Yuan?

Sure enough, Li Yuan looked calm.The more Kong Yingda talked, the more vigorous he became. After a long speech, Kong Yingda sighed bitterly: "Chen Concubine is wrong. Virtue is the basis of Taoism, and etiquette is the foundation of politics. Abandoning morality is like a shoe. almost peaceful?"

"It's definitely not the best strategy to talk about profit. It's not prudent to walk on the frost and ice." Dr. Guanglu, Tong Zhongshu's door, and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Xiao Yu bowed and said: "The old minister seconded Dr. Kong.!"

"A gentleman means justice, and a villain means profit. Wherever His Majesty's edict comes, there is no way to follow. The scholars of the world return to their hearts and sincerely obey His Majesty. Is it just to eat the fortune of the Tang Dynasty?" Chen Shuda also vowed: "They have the right The loyalty of the imperial court came here for righteousness..."

"If it is beneficial to the country, why should we cherish the name after death!" Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot Pei Ji said.

Chen Ying finally figured it out, no matter how dull he was, he knew that these ministers were targeting him.Of course, what Chen Ying didn't know was that because of Chen Ying's indiscretions, the status of craftsmen was raised too high.In the eyes of these ministers, scholars are the heads of the four peoples, and scholars are the heads of the four peoples, and farmers, businessmen, and scholars should not be rude to scholars.To be rude is to have no one in your heart.

But what about Chen Ying?It is not just for humble craftsmen to be named and respected as masters, but to be called masters only if they have made absolute achievements in one aspect.

Zheng Xuan is good at the classics, known as a master of Confucian classics.

A blacksmith is called everyone, and they can't see it.

All the ministers criticized Chen Ying one after another. Li Jiancheng tried to rescue Chen Ying several times, but Li Yuan stopped him with his eyes.However, this scene fell into the eyes of all the officials. All the officials thought that Li Yuan was agreeing with Kong Yingda's proposition, so they aimed at Chen Ying more violently.

Kong Yingda continued: "Your Majesty has brought order out of the chaos, and finally saw some hope for a peaceful and prosperous world. If, as Chen Yuma said, everyone pursues profit and does not know loyalty, this is the great misfortune of the country. I beg your majesty to make a decision!"

Kong Yingda's ability to cover a big hat is really not a cover.From a small matter, it extended to the righteousness of the country, and the blame was placed on Li Yuan.

No matter how unresponsive Chen Ying was, he knew that Kong Yingda must not be allowed to continue talking.

Chen Ying retorted: "If we use Dr. Kong's words and talk about Taoism and scriptures, when the Turkic army breaks through and comes, can the scholars recite scriptures to defeat the enemy?"

Hearing Chen Ying's words, Li Jiancheng almost laughed out loud.

Reciting the scriptures to defeat the enemy is not to let them learn alchemists and turn beans into soldiers.

Kong Yingda was about to refute, but he heard that Chen Ying simply gave him this opportunity to speak, and said directly: "Tai Shigong said: the granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace. Rituals are born in what is and discarded in nothing, so a gentleman is rich." , like to practice his virtues; the small man is rich, so that he can adapt his strength. The abyss is deep and the fish are born, the mountains are deep and the beasts go to them, the man is rich and benevolence and righteousness are attached. Yi Di is more beneficial if he is not happy with it. As the saying goes: "The son of a thousand pieces of gold will not die in the market. "This is not empty talk. Therefore, it is said: The prosperity of the world is for profit; The householders are almost..."

Quoting classics, only you, Confucius, can do it?

Chen Ying was born in the era of information explosion, and the information he learned through various media surpassed Kong Yingda by tens of thousands of times. No matter how smart Kong Yingda was, he could not deny what Sima Qian said.

Kong Yingda was about to open his mouth to refute Chen Ying, when Chen Ying suddenly walked up to Kong Yingda and said, "Dr. Kong, how many servants are there in your family? If you just teach them scriptures and morals, will they not pay?"

Kong Yingda said: "A gentleman does not compete with a villain for profit!"

Chen Ying pretended to be enlightened and said: "It turns out that a gentleman does not love money, can it be understood in this way?"

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way!" Kong Yingda's eyes were about to burst into flames.

Chen Ying didn't have a fixed pattern of speech, he talked a lot and talked a lot.

However, Chen Ying looked at the ministers in front of him and said, "You are all worthy gentlemen!"
