Chapter 208: Two Dragons Discuss the Political Discussion for the Eternal (Part 1)

These two people are Fang Xin and Emperor Mingzong himself.

After entering the building, Fang Xin asked for the upper elegant room on the third floor. When the waiter saw this kind of demeanor, he immediately led him upstairs. Sure enough, the room above was wide and there were many screens separated. He could hardly hear the words in the room.

After giving a few instructions, ordering seven or eight dishes, Fang Xin took three silver dollars and said, "I'll drink and talk about things, don't disturb me."

By the way, the silver dollar was the ten-year system of Taizu Kaiping, one or two yuan, and then it became a custom-made one.

Opening the window, Fang Xin took a sip freely, letting Emperor Mingzong sit down and speak, saying, "Today, I have indeed flourished."

Emperor Mingzong smiled modestly and said, "I just saw Emperor Taizu's divine power today. After his grandson collapsed, he felt that the sun was repelled and could not stay in the world for a long time. He could not even communicate with him to show his saints. Emperor Taizu could bring his grandson to the world."

From the window, the trees are shady below, and thousands of shops are filled with pavilions. There are pedestrians on the streets, with endless streams of flowing, which further reveals the atmosphere.

There is a bridge downstairs. There are many boats in the river under the bridge. Although most of them are small boats of about a ton of tons, they can be said to be a competition of thousands of sails and hundreds of boats competing for the current.

A little further away, it is a noble area with houses lined up, including tea shops, wine shops, butchers, temples, government offices, etc. The shops include silk, satin, jewelry, spices, incense, paper and horses, etc. In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune-telling, facials and face repairs, and all walks of life.

Fang Xin couldn't help but think of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", one of the top ten famous paintings in China. It depicts the prosperous scene of the Qingming Festival in Bianjing, and depicts the busy and tense transportation scenes on the Bian River vividly, adding to the life atmosphere of the painting.

After hearing Emperor Mingzong's words, Fang Xin said calmly: "This is natural. Yin and Yang are separated, and Gods are separated. You also know that there are always wise kings in the real dragon of the universe, and Taizu is even a hero of a generation. If Gods and Mans can communicate frequently, wouldn't it be possible to use humans to reverse their energy? The true emperor is really a hero, I am afraid that the true Chinese life will be lost and can be saved. Therefore, I have the power to isolate the heavens and man. Today I am using great magical powers to allow you and me to go down to the realm, but I am just watching, not interfering, and it is impossible to both."

After hearing this, Emperor Mingzong thought and felt lost. Fang Xin smiled: "Your prince ascended the throne, and the world is stable and orderly, what are you worried about?"

"Hmph, when this rebellious son was the crown prince, he was still fine. Unexpectedly, he would enthrone his relatives as marquis as soon as he ascended the throne. Although he was not a hereditary marquis, he was also very criticized." Emperor Mingzong said.

Lessons have been taught in the past dynasties that foreign relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics. There are fewer cases of being granted title to marquis. Less than half a year after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was granted the title of marquis to the empress's brother. Although he did not allow him to participate in politics, it has caused some criticism.

Fang Xin heard this and said calmly: "The human nature is based on the energy. Now we cannot interfere. If the disaster is laid in the future, it is also a matter of God's will."

After a pause, he sighed again: "You prince is generous and attaches importance to human feelings. It seems that although you can practice lenient policies and continue your prosperity, lenient means letting go. When you prosper, your administration will gradually become worse. It also seems that the seeds of disputes will be planted in the future. However, it is true that after the founding of the country, your spirit will be reduced. The following is completely preserved. Only by relying on the power of the system can it last for China to last."

When I heard Emperor Taizu evaluate his descendants and emperor, Emperor Mingzong was his father, so I certainly didn't dare to debate. At this time, I turned around and said with a smile: "Taizu, your system is very perfect, and I believe your country's life will last for a long time."

"Otherwise, the laws of saints will be moved with the world. On the one hand, with the changes in society, the laws of founding may not be appropriate. Secondly, it is common for later emperors to know the profound meaning of their ancestors and to destroy them into laws." Fang Xinshi said with some regret: "I had many misunderstandings in my great governance back then, but now I think about it, but I can't make up for it."

Speaking of this, Fang Xin waved his hand and said to the frightened Emperor Mingzong: "Don't always show the pattern of the monarch and ministers' comments. You are the wise king among the current emperors. I will tell you if you have any questions, you can also ask. I will not have too much time in this life. In the future, you will have to preside over the dragon vein and energy!"

"Yes, listen to Emperor Taizu's teachings." Emperor Mingzong immediately said with a secret joy.

"Well, I just want to say it. The first one is that although I inherit the religious laws of the previous generations, I did not pay more attention to it. It is a pity that I force the implementation of vegetarian food."

"Oh, vegetarianism is a matter of merit, so why do you govern the country?" Emperor Mingzong asked intently.

"The battle for the world depends on the strength of the weapon. The first is training, the second is weapons, and the third is warriors. This vegetarian method is a move to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot."

"Any real warrior in the army must eat meat. If you don't eat meat, how can you wear heavy armor, hold large soldiers, and play strong bows? You can't even see it at night. Although you can't eat meat for everyone, before the war, you must eat meat to accumulate strength. If the religious people in the world can really eat vegetarian food, even if there are one exception in ten thousand, the big numbers will have no power to fight. It is said that Taiping kills people without blood." Fang Xin pondered and said slowly.

"Sun Chen has recorded it." Emperor Mingzong said.

"Last time, I told you about the upper and lower spaces. In fact, if you want to talk about China Life, you really look at the space. If the lower people have no inch of land to establish themselves and live, there will be great chaos. Even a wise king will be useless. Do you know?"

"I remember that I read history books and also learn from the rise and fall of all dynasties. Now I know that the root is here." Emperor Mingzong said, and asked unwillingly: "Does Taizu have good plans now? "

"Actually, it's simple. If you have space, you can solve it yourself." Fang Xin said calmly: "But there are three strategies that can be used for the top, middle and lower."

Emperor Mingzong was just asking with a piaomiao hope, but he was immediately overjoyed and asked, "He Sance?"

"The inferior ones, for the people, are to raise soldiers in the wings. In order to avoid the chaos of men, they are all replenished. They are subject to military law constraints, so they are not a problem. However, the court has to bear the food and pay, which will lead to an increase in expenses for a long time." Fang Xin said this and was deeply moved, and his understanding of the two dynasties on Earth was deeper: "This soldiers are not for war, and naturally they have very little food. They can barely make a living. Those who do not eat meat are not warriors, and even food is not even hard to bear. This is also a method of weakening the open and secret army, which is similar to the weakening of religious vegetarian food."

It turned out that the soldiers in this house were originally filled with the powerful people of no land and had the intention of controlling and weakening from the beginning, so they treated them like this. After a long time, these refugees naturally became unbearable and were no longer in danger to the court.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, if this strategy was adopted and the powerful men in the chaotic areas were removed in one fell swoop, they would naturally be in chaos.

"But for scholars, people are the heaven for food, and scholars are the heaven for officials, but they are not equated. Do you know that the popularity of folk reading is a good thing in the long run, but a disaster in the short run."

The previous article is understandable, but this one is difficult to understand. Emperor Mingzong asked in confusion: "Please let Emperor Taizu make a clear statement."

"In ancient times, there were very few readers, and ignorant people had no desires. As long as they appease the children of aristocratic families, they could be at peace with the world. The world was getting more and more scholars gradually. This reading not only made sense, but also increased their desires. After reading military books, they thought that there was chaos in the world and could lead troops as generals, read the art of governing the country, and also wanted to be in the temple to show their ambitions. Can you see, after reading books, they were truly willing to join the farmers and soldiers and die in the countryside?"

"Ah!" Emperor Mingzong was originally a wise ruler, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed drastically, but he understood the mystery.

"Don't respect the virtuous, so that the people will not fight; do not value rare goods, so that the people will not be robbed; do not see desires, so that the people will not be confused. Therefore, the sage's governance is weak, the heart is strong, the ambition is weak, and the bones are strengthened. The people are always ignorant and have no desires.

If a wise man dares not do anything, he will be cured." Fang Xin reads Lao Tzu's Tao Te Scripture, but he deeply understands the key meaning: "In ancient times, a country that could live for thousands of years was actually a country with few scholars, and a country was safe for a long time. Lao Tzu did see it thoroughly and thoroughly. If he promoted the right way to govern the country and spread culture and education, although it could educate people's hearts, it would also make people enlightened. This is the root of the destruction of the dynasty."

Educating people's hearts is brainwashing and is conducive to rule, but if you stand on the standpoint of the ruler, it will be a big deal to gradually gain wisdom, so in the long run, it will not be worth the loss for the ruler.

"How can I do it?" Emperor Mingzong's face changed drastically, and even his voice became hoarse, and he asked.

"There is also a bad strategy, which is the imperial examination. The so-called imperial examination is actually to allow folk scholars to have a way to become an official to calm their hearts. I have said that a scholar regards official positions as the heaven. If he does not have an official position, he will feel resentful. It is okay in peace, but once something happens, he will confuse the country and destroy the world!"

Speaking of this, Fang Xin remembered the Song Dynasty's policies and said, "Add to the next step, it means treating scholars well, opening the list to pick up scholars and recruiting more personnel, and expanding the official position. It is better to raise more officials than to let them flow out of the way and become a talent for the enemy."

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty relaxed the scope of admission and role, and the official system expanded several times. In fact, for this purpose, in the Song Dynasty, literati and officials rarely surrendered to the Jin and Liao (this is also why there was the Southern Song Dynasty), and rarely surrendered to the uprising army.

Later boys were ignorant and always felt that the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty was the expansion of bureaucracy and a large number of useless troops stationed in the army. They tried hard to reduce the government and the elite troops. Humph, it was because the son was not worthy of planning.

After hearing this, Emperor Mingzong thought about it and said, "This is a good plan, but it will cause the imperial court to spend a lot. For the people, the taxes will be heavy, but I am afraid that the imperial court will be unable to bear it for a long time."
