Chapter 541 The referee ends under the state-run theory
At the end of the first round of the debate, the villain was unfavorable and was at a disadvantage.
Liu Zongzhou proposed to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and pointed out that the state-owned governments took the lead in doing business, which would lead to the social atmosphere and compete for profit with the people. Li Yan proposed that the powerful businessmen who led the social atmosphere were the powerful businessmen, and pointed out that the so-called competing for profit with the people was to compete for profit with the powerful and large businessmen to reduce the burden on the people.
When the scholars watching around heard this, they suddenly realized and the people also understood it instantly.
If the government is not in the state, it will have to increase land taxes and understand that reform is actually to reduce their burdens.
The opposition was not good at the army, and Jiang Yueguang and others were not anxious.
The scholars watching around realized that Li's political consultation was not simple, and they all cheered up and suddenly felt that the debate was interesting.
At this time, one person came out of the opposition, Huang Zongxi, who said loudly: "In ancient times, land taxes were eleven, the people were taxed, and the country was prosperous. Now, agricultural taxes were taxed, but thirteen, but not as good as the Han Dynasty. Why? The government was squandered excessively, the administration was chaotic, and corrupt officials were full of personal pockets! Merchants operated salt and iron, and the goods were inferior, and the people would not buy them, so merchants must be skilled in the tools and the government specialized in them. Otherwise, they would issue orders to monopolize the market, and forced the people to trade poorly, which would cause the people to suffer!"
Zhou Yanru raised his eyebrows, feeling excited, "King, this person avoided talking about the powerful and merchants' invasion of salt and iron benefits. Instead, he questioned the corruption of the government. He believed that in the past, the land tax was less and the country could operate, but now there were more taxes, but it could not operate. It was because the government had a problem. He also pointed out that the official camp would cause corruption, and Li was in trouble with his political affairs!"
Gao Huan glanced at him, and Zhou Yanru seemed very happy and saw Li Yan defeat.
"Haha~" Zhou Yanru saw Gao Huan's eyes and hurriedly covered up his smile: "I am worried about Li Yizheng! After all, what this person is talking about!"
Gao Huan also raised his eyebrows. Huang Zongxi was known as one of the three major thinkers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Later generations also had the law of Huang Zongxi.
As we all know, people who can name the law after their own name are probably fierce people.
However, Gao Huan remembered another person at this time, Gu Yanwu, who was as famous as Huang Zongxi and wrote "The Pros and Cons of the World and Countries".
At this time, Huang Zongxi continued: "Besides, since ancient times, we have used military forces, and valued virtue but were lowly. Confucius said: "If people from afar do not accept it, then cultivate cultural virtues and have come to it. Since they come, they will be at peace." Now the vassal states have fought several times, and the military and civilians are exhausted, and the threat of Jiannu is no longer imminent. The sages said that there are many ways to subdue the enemy from afar, not a way to do it. Now, we abolish morality and order military forces, launch troops and attack them, garrison and prepare them, and use troops for a long time to fight, and endlessly transport food, grass and supplies, and do not say that the soldiers are tired outside and the people are working hard inside, which is not a long-term solution."
"I think that three of the ten taxes of farmers today are enough to provide for the expenses of the vassal governments. Now the vassal government is not honest, clarifying the administration of officials, selecting talents, reducing squandering, and monopolizing monopoly when encountering problems. This is not the right way! Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are also the people of the king. Now the vassal government is not honest, and lacking money will hurt the benefits of the merchants and the people. If there is money in the future, who will hurt the benefits of the vassal governments? Therefore, the vassal governments can only be honest and self-disciplined to cure the root cause. The state-owned enterprise only makes officials more squandered, which is not advisable!"
After Huang Zongxi finished speaking, the scholar below was shaken again for a moment.
Under the influence of decades of gentry in Jiangnan, the gentry, merchants and the people did not trust the court.
Of course, this is mainly because some places did not do well before the Ming Dynasty. Only one treasure money could make the people lose trust in the government.
The imperial court printed money without restrictions, treated the people as withdrawal machines, and plundered the people's wealth.
It is a bit shameless to have the treasure money printed by the court, but the court does not want it when collecting taxes.
Huang Zongxi took advantage of the people's distrust of the government and let the people put their reflection on the Ming Dynasty on the Liang State, making the people think that the officials of the Liang State were not honest enough, the salt and iron official camps would lead to corruption and the quality of goods would also become worse.
Gao Huan couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard his sophistry.
For a moment, everyone looked at Li Yan with their eyes, hoping to see how he answered.
At this time, Li Yan shook his head and said in great spirit: "In ancient times, taxes were 10 taxes, and now people have ten taxes, but the government still lacks the cost! It is not because the government is not honest, but the gentry and gentry are evading land, and merchants evade commercial taxes! In the early Ming Dynasty, taxes could still be collected more than 20 million taels, but by the Chongzhen period, the taxes were only 5 million taels. The land in the world did not decrease much, but the taxes were reduced so much. Where is the problem? The gentry and gentry and mercenary evaded taxes! Therefore, the people in the early Han Dynasty had the rule of Wen and Jing, but now the people have ten taxes, but the people still cannot meet the cost of the government. This is the people, for the gentry and merchants who evaded taxes, they bear more responsibilities in the world! This is obviously unfair!"
Li Yan's words came to the ears of the onlookers, and everyone exclaimed, and the people were talking.
Zhou Yanru couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "The King Li Yuzheng wants to kill two people!"
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The more you argue, the more you become clearer. Huang Zongxi and others have selfish intentions, are full of nonsense, and there are flaws everywhere!"
Li Yan spoke sharply and continued to fight back, "The Master said: 'If people from afar are not convinced, then they will cultivate their morality.' Here people from afar are not enemies who come to the door. Now Jiannu is coming on his own initiative and is being beaten by Jiannu. How can he implement benevolence and righteousness? How can he not use military spending to guard against it?"
"Hebei, Shandong, Hedong people burst into tears. The Han people looked south at the royal army's eyes and blood was already seen. The people from Central Plains and Jiangbei were invaded by Jiannu several times."
"The king mourned the suffering of the people, rectified the beacon fire, stationed troops to prepare for it, and intended to restore it. However, the cost of the border troops was insufficient, so he developed salt and iron state-owned enterprises, increased wealth and supplies to assist military funds."
"In the past, one of the ten taxes in the Han Dynasty was true, and then Han and Wu spent the money and grain accumulated by Wen and Jing generations, and achieved both salt and iron transfer, so that they could attack the Huns in the north."
"Now, my land tax and commercial tax in Daliang have been avoided by gentry and merchants. I have no savings from Wen Jing. I only use meager taxes to maintain the operation of the vassal state, defeat the invincible enemies, and use one ounce of silver to spend a ounce of silver. However, you are a corrupt scholar, but you still slander the corruption of our Liang officials. Is there such corruption in the world?"
"You are waiting for corrupt scholars to stop the state-owned salt and iron camps, and the treasury is empty at the treasury outside, and the garrison is too hungry and cold to the border. How can the generals raise their troops? How can they control the captives?"
Huang Zongxi was defeated and Gao Hongtu said: "With the efficiency of the official business, corruption is breeding, and the goods are ineffective, why don't you say it?"
Li Yan snorted coldly, "The reform of the official camp has not yet begun, how do you know that inefficiency is growing and corruption is being born?"
"This!" Gao Hongtu was speechless for a moment and immediately said, "The many official workshops in the Ming Dynasty are examples!"
Li Yan said, "That was the Ming Dynasty, and now it is the reform of our Liang Kingdom. You can go to Henan to see the state-owned mines there!"
As he said, Li Yan glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Corruption and inefficiency are caused by problems with officials, improper management, and the disability of items is not given sufficient benefits to craftsmen and a severe reward and punishment system is stipulated. This is not a crime of state-owned enterprises, but a crime of administration, management and incentive system. We should pursuing administration, strengthen management, and clarify the incentive system, rather than abandoning food because of choking. Is there no disability of goods and no corruption in private enterprises?"
Speaking of this, the opposition has been defeated.
At this time, Gao Huan stood up and said loudly: "In the past, Shang Jun reformed the law, strictly enforced punishments, and ordered politics, religion, and evil and falsehood. He took many measures to increase national income from the outside and collected taxes from mountains and lakes, so that the country and the people were strong, and the equipment was fully decorated, and he had enough accumulation. Therefore, Qin State attacked the enemy country without levied too much tax on the people, so that the army could be supplied! Now, the state-owned salt and iron can reduce the pressure on the people, and can satisfy the cost of the army, and accumulate material and wealth to prevent scarcity. The state-owned salt and iron state-owned salt and iron state-owned salt and iron state-owned are so beneficial to the country and harmless to the people. What are the doubts about it? Why should you famous scholars worry?"
The referee gave a conclusion to the outcome, which made everyone who was still trying to argue blush.
You are King Liang, and you have said it, how can we argue?
This made everyone who was still ready to refute hesitate.
At this time, among the many opposition parties, one of them suddenly came out and bowed to the head, "The king is wise! Today, I listen to Li's words about politics and the king's teachings. I suddenly realized and realized it! I support the salt and iron state camp!"
When Jiang Yueguang heard the words, he was shocked and looked at him. Everyone looked at him. It was Liu Zongzhou who was the first to speak.
Everyone looked at each other, but they never expected that the old man had rebelled and could not understand why he suddenly turned against him.
