Gao Huan believes that the more you debate the truth, the more you become clearer.

Two peaches killed three men and made the gentry in Jiangnan fight infighting, but only the art of emperors and the art of controlling people, not the way to govern the world.

Kings of all dynasties liked to play with power. Many people only value the art of controlling people, not the way of managing the world, and did not solve social problems. Therefore, social development is slow and cannot keep up with the speed of population growth. In the end, they fall into cycles again and again.

For example, the smartest Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty used the skills of emperors to the pinnacle. All officials were his pawns, but his intelligence was all about how to fight for power and how to check and balance ministers, and he did not use his intelligence to govern the country.

Maintaining rule and engaging in power struggles may be enough, but to establish a great dynasty, one must pay attention to the way of governing the world.

To break the cycle of dynasties in history, we must achieve a breakthrough in productivity and make the cake bigger. Otherwise, in the end, the dynasty will definitely break out in a new round of uprisings to achieve resource redistribution due to unfair distribution of population and resources and ordinary people cannot survive.

If productivity cannot achieve breakthroughs and make the cake bigger after the society develops to a certain level, then the entire society will be in trouble.

In today's society, merchants will be one of the main forces driving breakthroughs in productivity.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all the people of Daliang. What Gao Huan wants is to tame and conquer them and make them obey their will.

Therefore, Gao Huan decided to hold a major debate on state-owned enterprises in Nanjing Confucius Temple.

One side supports the state-owned enterprise, while the other side opposes the state-owned enterprise. Gentlemen, merchants and officials in the North can join either party according to their own position.

In front of the Liang Palace, the gentry and merchants received Gao Huan's promise and dispersed happily.

Jiangnan has a prosperous cultural heritage, and there are many scholars who can catch up with each other, which cannot be compared to Henan.

If we engage in a military fight, we can’t beat the Henan Gang. If we engage in a literary fight, who will beat us?

The news reached Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu's ears, and the two were overjoyed. The next thing was to prepare for debate.

But they soon discovered that this debate did not seem so easy.

One is from public intention and the other is from selfishness. It is not a clever tongue and a logical and self-consistent power. It is difficult to say that it is better than Li Yan and others.

"I can't help but find someone first!" Jiang Yueguang chatted with Gao Hongtu for a while and decided to shake someone first.

If they hadn't had a feud with Qian Qianyi, it would not be difficult for them to find a few big bosses, but it was not easy now.

Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu wrote letters and asked people to come to participate in the debate, but most of them were rejected.

Li Yan's reform was obviously supported by Gao Huan. If the debate won, Gao Huan was unhappy, which affected their participation in Liang Kingdom in the future. If the debate lost, it would lose their face.

Although the reform was related to the interests of gentry and merchants, Qian Qianyi and others were unwilling to stand up.

Now he is in the wild, Jiang Yueguang and others are in the court. After the reform is passed, it will be a heavy blow to Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu.

When the party fights to the extreme, it means that no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will oppose it as long as it is something that the political enemy wants to do.

Not only did Qian Qianyi not participate, but he was also ready to give the two people a moment behind the scenes.

However, after all, the matter is related to the interests of the gentry and merchants. Under Zhou Xuan, many merchants, Jiang Yueguang still found several people, and they were all powerful people.

Outside Nanjing City, on Zhongshan, there have been a group of hermits recently.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was such a joke that some literati thought of being an official in the court, but had no way to do so, so they pretended to be an expert in other people and started living in seclusion, showing off their unintentional fame.

However, these seclusion people are more interesting.

If you really have no intention of fame and fortune, you should hide far away, but they will be wherever the emperor is.

When the emperor worked in Chang'an, they lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

When the emperor went to Luoyang to work, they went to Mangshan again, like migratory birds, just to make it easier for the emperor to summon him after the emperor heard about their reputation.

Now, there are such a group of people on Zhongshan outside Nanjing.

When they saw Gao Huan defeating the Qing Dynasty in the north and sweeping Zuo Liangyu in the south, they had the potential to unify the world, so they wanted to serve the Liang Kingdom, but they couldn't bear to look for Gao Huan for an official position.

These people are not like eunuchs such as Ruan Dacheng, who blatantly run into relationships. Most of them regard themselves as pure and noble, so they are unwilling to do such things.

These Qingliu took another path. They praised each other, first making up their fame, and then waiting for Gao Huan to take the bait.

After all, over the years, especially in the midst of great struggles, all forces have paid attention to attracting talents, and recruiting a famous opposition man can undoubtedly promote it well.

The hermit obtained an official position and the monarch received the reputation of attracting talents, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Therefore, a group of clear streams lived on Zhongshan, and the result was that they were frozen for a winter in the cold wind. Many people could not bear it and cursed that Gao Huan was not educated and could not absorb talents. So because they could not withstand the wet and cold weather in the south of the Yangtze River, their families were picked up by carriage.

The rest of the people who didn't leave were also full of anger, wanting to teach Gao Huan a lesson so that you would not pay attention to our great scholars.

On Zhongshan, in a straw shed, the cold wind whizzed in from outside, causing people to shrink their necks.

Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu sat in the straw shed, and there were two people opposite each other.

At this time, one of them said, "You can rest assured that you can discuss politics. We already know the matter. We will take this debate."

Jiang Yueguang was a little worried and said in a deep voice: "Ignon Taigong, Taichong, you are taking a closer look at Li Yan's reform strategy."

One of these two is Donglin boss Liu Zongzhou, and the other is the rising star Huang Zongxi. Both of them have fought against the eunuch party, especially Huang Zongxi. Although his qualifications are difficult, his combat effectiveness is very strong, he may be even more powerful than many Donglin predecessors in the country.

Huang Zongxi was a little unhappy when he heard this. He felt that Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu could not believe him, so he said with a stern face: "Please rest assured, two people discuss politics. I already have a strategy in my mind to refute Li's negotiation politics. At that time, he will be speechless."

Seeing that he was so confident, Jiang Yueguang was not convenient to say more. Anyway, he was not the only one who participated in the debate.

While Jiang Yueguang was recruiting soldiers and looking for a powerful person to participate in the debate, Gao Huan summoned Li Yan at the Liang Palace, preparing to inquire about some situations and give Li Yan a lesson.

At this time, in the study, Gao Huan instilled some of his views and advantages and disadvantages of the state-owned enterprise, as well as analyzing what angles the opposition would fight back, Gao Huan asked in a deep voice: "How is the reaction after the notice is posted?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Reporting to the king, the reverse is very huge. There are already prison students in the Imperial College, and they have started debates in advance and even took action for this."

Gao Huan nodded slightly. The reason why he decided to hold such a debate was that through the debate, some gentry and businessmen who had misunderstandings about him could understand his ideas, so that these people could cooperate and support themselves in the future, rather than be conquered by force.

Of course, conquering by force is good, but it is far less effective than conquering from the heart.

If they conquer by force, they will not take the initiative to cater to things when doing things.

Psychologically conquer, they will take the initiative to cater to things, and adults know that this is a completely different experience.

But if the debate is over and these people still make trouble, there is nothing we can do, so we can only let them disappear.

Some people may say, what if the debate loses?

Since Gao Huan dares to hold it, he is naturally sure. Moreover, Gao Huan, the referee, almost ended directly, so how could he lose?

"Well! The greater the impact, the better." Gao Huan suddenly asked, "Have Mr. Li found a helper?"

Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "One of me is enough, but a few of them took the initiative to come to me and said they wanted to participate in the debate!"

"It seems that the gentry and people in Jiangnan do not understand all my efforts, but there are still people who understand the truth!" Gao Huan was quite happy when he heard the words, "Who are there?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "There are Chen Zilong, Lu Zhenfei, and the 14-year-old boy named Xia Wanchun, who also wants to help his ministers debate."

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard the selves, "It turns out that the more you argue, the more you become clearer! However, Mr. Li must be vigilant, but don't let the other party's spy get into the team."

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Li Yan was slightly stunned, and then shook his head helplessly. It was estimated that Gao Huan must have inserted a nail into the other party's team, so he was worried.

"Don't worry, I will be on guard!" Li Yan said with a tribute.

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and prepare!"

Li Yan then bowed and said his leave, while Gao Huan called the commander of the National Security Department to learn about the other party’s preparations and who they had attracted.
