I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 374 The ideal country of the Song Dynasty and the theory of nationwide reform! Su Jingming is a saint (Part )
Inside the Daqing Hall, everything was quiet.

Many people thought Su Liang was crazy.

Not only did he scold the four major classes of soldiers, farmers, industry and commerce as useless, but he also denounced a group of scholar-bureaucrats.

People are writing in the corner of the main hall.

Looking at what I just recorded, I felt a little confused.

If this content reaches the public, Su Liang will definitely become a public enemy.

Zhao Zhen on the throne was also a little confused.

I even doubted whether Su Liang wanted to retire early, so he made such a crazy move.

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and other people who knew Su Liang were very excited.

They know.

"Everyone wants to improve their status, make the Song Dynasty's reform work for themselves, and protect their own privileges. Do you really think that whichever profession has a higher status will lead to the direction in which the Song Dynasty's reform will develop?"

"Those who serve the country and the people are the highest; those who serve selfish interests are the lowest."

"No, the purpose of the reform in the Song Dynasty is to make everyone lose their privileges, including our officials and the scholar-bureaucrats in the court!"

"In the end, the reform in the Song Dynasty will definitely reduce the power of the official family, the power of the scholar-bureaucrats and officials, and the power of all the top scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and return it to the world, so that the common people can become the masters of the Song Dynasty!"

This statement shocked everyone again.

If he didn't stop him, I don't know what other deviant words Su Liang would say.

Hear this.

"Is this...this...this kind of thing allowed to be said?"

"Since the Reform in the Song Dynasty, everyone should be able to feel that everything has become different!"

"neither!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, signaling to listen to Su Liang.

"We are arguing about rights, the privileges that we can control!"

"With the popularity of tabloids in various state capitals, hundreds of academies gave away agronomic crafts for free. Craftsmen found that they could no longer monopolize their craftsmanship, and could no longer pass down one skill to three generations. Even their own skills had fallen behind compared with their peers!"

Next, it was time for Su Liang to "make a surprising statement".

After Su Liang finished scolding, he calmed down and then continued: "We debated for three days in the Daqing Hall. Is the debate fair? Is it the future of the reform in the Song Dynasty? Which industry contributed more to the Song Dynasty? Is it big?”

The Zhou Dynasty lasted for nearly eight hundred years, and no other dynasty could surpass it.

"The Song Dynasty is getting better and better, but the privileges in your hands are getting less and less, so you want to improve the status of the industry through rankings and protect your own privileges."

……

Su Liang suddenly raised his voice.

Followed by.

"If businessmen can take second place, they will be more qualified to oppress workers and peasants and serve them. If workers and peasants can suppress merchants, they believe that the future of the Song Dynasty's reform will be to develop agriculture and industry..."

Everyone thought Su Liang was completely crazy.

[Competing for status, protecting one's own privileges, making the whole Song Dynasty's reforms work for one's own benefit, and acting in self-interest]

Eight hundred years is too far away and there are too many changes. Who can think so long-term?
Su Liang smiled faintly.

Everyone in the hall was a little dumbfounded.

This is the essence of the struggle between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

It's possible to say "reducing the power of officials".

At this time.

This is no longer disrespectful, but it is going to shake the Zhao Song Dynasty.

They all seem to be saying——

"Under the double oppression of the imperial examinations and the policy of dismissal, the scholar-bureaucrats found that they were not so superior. No one said that the punishment was not good for the scholar-bureaucrats. Being an official no longer meant fame and fortune, and a worry-free life. Maybe you are not free and happy as a businessman.”

"As a scholar, you have strategies to strengthen the country, and the officials will naturally listen to you; as a businessman, you can make goods circulate all over the world, and the officials will naturally listen to you; as a worker, one of your inventions can benefit tens of millions of people. The officials will naturally listen to you; as a farmer, if you can increase the yield of your fields several times, the officials will also listen to you. "

Su Liang's words hit the nail on the head.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

Hear this.

It suddenly touched everyone's heart.

Prime Minister Wen Yanbo stood up.

Su Liang continued: "Why do I say this? Because the Song Dynasty's reform has reached this point, the mission that our generation has to complete is not only the peace of the country and the people, and not being bullied by the barbarians, but how to make the country permanent and make the country more peaceful." The Song Dynasty has become the longest-lived dynasty in history!”

Su Liang continued: "The Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty of the officials, nor the Song Dynasty of the scholar-officials in the world, but the Song Dynasty of all the Song Dynasty people!"

"Businessmen have found that many of their past side tactics can no longer be used. Bribery and giving gifts are gradually becoming less effective. Being attached to high-ranking officials and relatives cannot reduce taxes, nor can it make business easier. On the contrary, those who follow the right path are Small traders are gradually emerging!”

"As for the farmers, most of the people here are landlords. You have discovered that after the suppression of land annexation, the Green Crops Law, and the Tax Exemption Law were implemented, those tenant farmers grew rapidly and will soon become rich farmers or even landlords!"

"You all probably think it's impossible!"

"It is naturally impossible to rely on the officials, the princes of the two governments and three departments, the reform department, and the scholar-bureaucrats in the world!"

"However, if every common person can participate in it and truly feel that they are the masters of the Song Dynasty, rather than being enslaved, and pass it on from generation to generation, from generation to generation. Isn't there some hope?"

"It's impossible for Da Song not to get sick."

"If one day the Song Dynasty falls ill, what the people of the Song Dynasty will think of is not to overthrow it, not to overthrow it, not to take advantage of its illness to kill it. Instead, the wise will contribute their wisdom, the brave will exert their courage, the rich will contribute their wealth, and the whole country will Together, we can cure the disease!"

“Are we one step closer to ‘making the Song Dynasty the longest dynasty in history’?”

"Next, what we need to do is not a reform for the whole Song Dynasty, but a reform for the whole people."

“The purpose of reducing the power of government officials, reducing the power of scholar-bureaucrats and officials, and reducing the power of all the top scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants is to enable all people in the world to participate in the reform process, let flowers bloom into flowers, trees become trees, and everyone Everyone becomes a legal reformer!”

"The ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is not important and has no value. However, if all strata of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce can use the strong to support the weak and the rich to support the strong, and work towards the goal of 'national reform', all people will be able to participate in the national reform." In the Song Dynasty's reform, it is important and more valuable!"

“We don’t even know what the Song Dynasty will look like in the future.”

“It may be a world of scholars where poetry and prose are popular, it may be a world of merchants with global trade, it may be a world of craftsmen where machinery is common, or it may be a world of farmers where famine is no longer a problem, it all depends on who is better able to give up. Selfishly, bring up the weakest people in this industry!”

"Everyone is a public servant, the world is unified, and there is no distinction between scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce. Only by reforming the whole people can the reform be achieved, and only then can the country of the Song Dynasty be stabilized!"

"I'm done!"

Su Liang handed over his hand heavily and then returned to his position.

This is Su Liang’s theory of nationwide reform.

The whole Song Dynasty's reform and the whole people's reform are just one word different, but the meanings are completely different.

Only with the participation of the whole people, and only if everyone changes, can the Song Dynasty go far.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen was deeply shocked.

He understood.

Su Liang's so-called reduction of the emperor's power was actually to reduce the emperor's burden and allow the people of the world to voluntarily participate in the reform process of the entire Song Dynasty.

Only by making people think this way can actions achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In Zhao Zhen's eyes.

No matter how much Su Liang's thoughts are immersed in the hearts of the people, no matter how many strategies are implemented in the future to implement this thought. It’s just this idea of ​​“national reform theory”.

It is a perfect set of techniques to control the people.

People all over the world will cheer for it when they know the imperial court's thoughts.

Originally, Zhao Zhen thought that becoming a wise king was his lifelong goal.

But Su Liang pushed him to another position, trying to make him a unique holy king.

……

this moment.

The scholar-bureaucrats and officials were also stunned.

Su Liang scolded the scholar-bureaucrats, the representatives of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and even violated the royal power, but his purpose was to induce a "national reform" and to make the Song Dynasty surpass the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty. .

This goal is so tempting!

Which dynasty would dare to mention this, and which emperor would implement such a strategy?
But after what Su Liang said, this strategy is particularly in line with the current reform strategy of the Song Dynasty.

this moment.

Wang Anshi's eyes shone.

He felt that there was a saint's light shining faintly behind Su Liang.

What Su Liang said.

It is no longer a policy of governing the country, but a way of governing the country.

A whole new way.

A way of state that is particularly suitable for the current Song Dynasty.

Many strategies for running this approach have emerged in Wang Anshi's mind, such as: how to increase the voice of the people at the bottom and how to improve the people's ability to participate in and discuss politics.

He believed that once this Taoism was announced to the world, the people would be extremely excited and willing to work together to create the utopia of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi originally thought that he was only slightly worse than Su Liang.

But at the moment.

He felt that the distance between Su Liang and him was like the distance between Confucius and Mencius and Lao Yuan.

Lao Yuan is his family's groom.

He can read less than 100 words and can recite three and a half poems.

……

this moment.

Representatives of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce also understood.

Next, it is useless to argue.

Su Liang's words turned them into a community of destiny.

What they have to do is to make the entire industry prosper, and only then can they be qualified to call the Song Dynasty its era.

……

At this time.

Zhao Zhen stood up slowly.

"What a sentence. The nationwide reform will make the Song Dynasty the longest-lasting dynasty in history!"

"This is the future direction of my Song Dynasty!"

"From now on, the three departments of the two governments and the Reform Department will re-formulate the policy of national reform, and we must involve all the people of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Zhen said loudly.

"I obey!" The ministers in the palace cupped their hands.

In the past, the entire Song Dynasty underwent political reforms.

It is dozens of people directing tens of thousands of people to make tens of millions of people do things according to their requirements and standards.

Now, the whole people are reforming.

It is tens of millions of people supporting each other and working towards a common goal.

……

At dusk that day.

Su Liang's "Nationwide Reform Theory" spread to the streets of Bianjing.

Some scholars were shocked after reading it.

This seems to be an idea that transcends the times, and a reform method that will make this generation famous throughout the ages.

Many people still don't understand it well.

But when they heard that sentence——

"The officials have said that there is no distinction between scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. In the future, the Song Dynasty will reduce the power of the officials, the power of the scholar-bureaucrats and officials, and the power of the top scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and return it to the world, making the common people the masters of the Song Dynasty. !”

Their hearts are warm.

Even some illiterate old men could eat two more steamed buns that night than before after hearing the phrase "let the common people become the masters of the Song Dynasty."

That night.

Su Liang then wrote an article called: National Reform in the Utopia of the Song Dynasty.

The current Song Dynasty.

It has met all of Su Liang's imagination of a prosperous age.

Culture is prosperous, commerce is flourishing, and people are on the road to living and working in peace and contentment.

After taking back the Yanyun Sixteen States or solving the Goryeo and Liao Kingdoms.

The fertile soil of the Song Dynasty has great room for growth.

He expected that perhaps the Song Dynasty would be able to surpass the civilization of nearly a thousand years in his mind if it developed like this for a hundred years.

……

This night.

Except for the article written by Su Liang.

Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Zeng Gongliang, Zhang Fangping, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others also wrote articles.

Interpret the National Reform Movement.

Before today, they felt that the entire Song Dynasty's reform process was halfway done.

After today, they knew that the Song Dynasty's reform had just begun.

The previous reforms were just the work of court officials.

Now, under their guidance, we will usher in a reform scene in which a hundred flowers bloom.

The imagination of the common people is also endless. When life is full of hope, everyone will run.
