The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 619 Right and wrong
Chen Shuda was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at Li Muyun and hopped and scolded: "Little Huangkou, talk nonsense, I swear against you!"

"Old guy, this is the court hall, not the Yiyan hall in your family. Even His Majesty didn't say anything, why are you jumping here? Whoever stipulates that the age is old must be right, and the age must be wrong. It’s really like this, go outside and move a bastard, and everyone will listen to it in the future.”

Li Muyun even dared to stand up to Xiao Yu, not to mention Chen Shuda, but when he was speaking, he ignored Li Er who was sitting on top, and was immediately hit by a pen thrown from above, and Li Shimin's roar sounded in his ears: " Presumptuous, don't speak human words, be careful of your skin!"

The old man Chen Shuda can ignore it, and the old man in the court can also not be afraid, but the big boss Li Muyun who sits on the top does not dare to offend, shrinking his neck, picked up the pen and handed it to the little eunuch at the side, nodded and bowed and said: " Your majesty, I made a slip of the tongue for a while, your lord has a lot, please let me go because of my lack of culture!"

The bastard!Li Shimin was almost offended, this was the first time someone used the excuse of being uneducated to ask him for forgiveness.

If other people use this reason, the consequences will be very tragic, and countless people will jump out and criticize it. After all, if you are uneducated, you can't mess with the court. This is the rule.

But Li Muyun is different. Even a toddler in the entire Tang Dynasty knows that he is a related family. He got into the court because of Li Yuan's relationship. To blame him is to blame the Supreme Emperor. Neither will.

Chen Shuda was so angry that he looked like he had just ran five kilometers of armed cross-country. He stared at Li Muyun with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, what a happy king, everyone said you were born with a sharp mouth, and seeing you today is really different. Fan Xiang, but even so, if you don't understand what you just said, I will fight you to the death at the end of my life!"

"To the end? It's not necessary, is it?" Li Muyun looked at the little old man, evaluated him in his heart, and felt that the old man would not be mad at him, so he continued: "Master Chen, I wonder if you can I can’t tell everyone, what is the most important thing for my Datang right now? What is the top priority under the big policy?”

Chen Shuda said loudly: "Naturally, it is to develop people's livelihood!"

Li Muyun walked back and forth in the main hall for a few steps, and said with a sneer: "It's too general, let's be more detailed. Even a beggar outside the Shuntian Gate can talk about things like the development of people's livelihood. Why do you always talk about it?"

Chen Shuda held his breath in his throat, looking at Li Muyun wishing he could bite him to death.

As a high-level court official, it is enough to know how to develop the people's livelihood. The specific details are something that officials below should take care of. Why should he worry about it? Suspected of dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, Li Muyun did not continue to entangle on this issue, and quickly continued: "Development of people's livelihood is ridiculous to say, and the court has been emphasizing this word all the time, but few people know how to develop it. I have to say , It's really sad!"

Some of the ministers couldn't understand Li Muyun's awkward appearance, and said sarcastically: "Then how about King Xiaoyao come to teach me a thing or two?"

At this time, when someone was about to lose his one-man show, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded heavily and said: "Okay, then I will talk about it. Where should the focus be on developing people's livelihood? In my opinion, it is The word 'min', what is 'min'? The people, the common people, so the development of the people's livelihood is the development of the common people."

"Pfft..." Li Muyun had just finished speaking, and there was a lot of scoffing from below. To develop the common people, what kind of nonsense is this, anyone with a little bit of knowledge would not use such words.Only a few people frowned slightly, as if they had thought of something, they cast their eyes on Li Muyun who also had a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Do you think that some of my words are not expressive? Well, let me put it another way. You can understand the development of population, right? My Tang Dynasty is vast and boundless, but what is the actual population? Even the fugitives are confused. Come back, do you have 800 million households? Calculated based on a family of five, at most it is 4000 million people!"

"4000 million! Does that sound like a lot? But my lords, this is the entire population of my Tang Dynasty. Such a big country only has 4000 million people. How much?! Laugh, how can you laugh!"

Li Muyun stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back, glanced coldly at the guys in the court hall who were eating and waiting to die, and said in a more sarcastic tone: "Kill, kill, kill, you only know how to kill, but you don't know that it takes more than ten years for a person to grow from birth to adulthood." In [-], you have killed so much, I don’t know if you have thought about how many years it will take to restore the population again?”

"4000 million people may seem like a lot, but don't forget that there are only two strong laborers in a family of five, and the other three are either old or young. Only 4000 million can be used by 600 million people."

"Datang depends on these 600 million people for taxation, war depends on these 600 million people, and everything depends on these 600 million people. It can be said that each of these people is very precious."

"However, some of you don't think this way. You always go your own way with your own impulsive impulses and your own visionless thoughts. I don't know if I kill one today and another tomorrow. Now, what does the court depend on for a living? In front of whom are you officials dominating!"

Li Muyun was already in a bad mood because of the matter of the soldiers under him, plus he was suffocated early in the morning, and now all of them burst out, making Chen Shuda's old face turn red, but he couldn't say a word.

In the end, Fang Xuanling couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward two steps to the middle of the main hall, cupped his hands to Li Muyun and said, "The words of King Xiaoyao are like enlightenment, Fang admires it, but I don't know how the county king plans to deal with the matter of Jiannan Road in the future ?”

I have to say that Lao Fang is indeed a prime minister. This question is not a little smokey, but it is very important. If Li Muyun can't say who Ziwu Yinmao is, then everything he said before will become nonsense crap.

Li Muyun took a deep look at Lao Fang, as if he wanted to confirm his intention for asking this question. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes above the court. Chen Shuda could also be interpreted as helping Li Muyun.

After thinking for a while, Li Muyun had already made up his mind, and then said: "Master Fang's eyes are like a torch, since that's the case, Li will say something."

When trying to drive the ducks to the shelves, Li Muyun also went all out, rubbed his nose and said: "The Jiannan Daoist rebellion, to put it bluntly, they couldn't survive, and because they were taken advantage of by those who wanted to, that's why it happened."

"Now that we already know the reason, blindly killing will only intensify the conflict. To give a simple example, all of you adults have children in your family. Would you kill them all because they are stubborn with you? This is inevitable. Somewhat overkill.”

"So Li thinks that blocking is worse than sparse. Since killing can't solve the problem, then we will give them a way to survive. For example, we can build a spacious cement road to enter Jiannan Road, or send people to Jiannan Road to teach those bureaucrats what to do. The method of human raising silkworms and weaving allows them to see hope, see the future, and see the way out."

"The sages have said that the people can be taught, and they can't be taught. This sentence is telling us that if the people understand things, let them develop and manage themselves. If the people don't understand things, then Those in power should teach them and let them know the etiquette, which is also in line with the sage's saying that there is no difference between teaching and learning."

Everyone in the main hall was dumbfounded, and looked at Li Muyun with strange eyes. Fortunately, this kid just said that he is uneducated, and that he can open his mouth without education.Can no culture reinterpret the phrase "people can make it from what they can't make it known"?When did cultural people become so worthless?
Kong Yingda originally closed her eyes and dozed off, but at this time she regained her spirits. The previous explanation of "people can make orders" was to let the people know too much, as long as they follow orders in a daze. The punctuated sentence has another meaning, which makes Lao Kong, the 31st descendant of the sage of Confucius, not surprised, how can he not be surprised.

Datang is an open country, compatible with each other, and does not reject some new ideas and cultures. At the same time, the Confucian culture of Datang is also the same. It does not reject dissidents like the later Confucianism, but constantly absorbs some new ideas. From an academic point of view, as long as it is not nonsense, real Confucian scholars will often discuss it, and absorb it if it is correct.

So when Lao Kong heard Li Muyun's novel explanation, he immediately regained his energy. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he might be able to discuss it with the county king right away.

After all, Fang Xuanling is still a bit deeper in the city. Although he was also surprised by Li Muyun's explanation, he paid more attention to the reality. After the initial surprise, he immediately asked: "Junwang, Jiannan Road is located in a wild place, and it would cost a lot to build the road. If what you said is true, even if the court spends all of the treasury, it may not be enough, just for the people of Jiannan Road, is such investment not worth the candle?"

"No!" Li Muyun shook his head, facing Fang Xuanling and said, "Didn't Prime Minister Fang hear that if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first? It's true that building a road leading to Jiannan Road will cost a lot, but the road and bridge fees will be paid after the road is repaired." But it is enough for the court to earn a lot of money, and after the road is repaired, the special products of Jiannan Road can be shipped out easily, and the silk from the Central Plains can also be shipped in. This is a huge tax revenue. .”
