Chapter 373: Extemporaneous Speech


All the students who were squeezed by him avoided them to both sides. \ He came to the simple platform set up by Li Mu, looked up at Li Mu and shouted: "His Royal Highness, can you pull a minister?"

Li Mu heard it and looked down, I'll go, provoke a big boss.

This person Li Mu knows, and he is no longer the secretary of the Guozijian, but Kong Yingda, the commander of the Guozijian who is in charge of the sacrificial wine.

This kind of person Li Mu doesn't dare to offend openly, you can stay away from him, and even assassinate him, but you must not give him face in public.

Because to offend him is to put yourself in opposition to the literati and students of the world.

Li Mu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Kong Yingda's hand and pulled him onto the stage.

Not to mention people in their sixties, they are quite dexterous.

After Kong Yingda stood firm, he first bowed his hand to the students in the audience and said, "Please be quiet and listen to what the old man has to say." ” The cheers from the audience gradually subsided.

Kong Yingda's reputation among students can be seen from this.

Such an occasion can calm down excited students, and it is impossible to do it without a little prestige.

"Today, I am fortunate that His Royal Highness the heir has come to the Guozijian to give a lecture for us, which is really a blessing for us in the Guozijian."

Kong Yingda's words turned Li Mu's nonsense into a planned and premeditated lecture.

This made Li Mu sigh in his heart, this ginger is really old and spicy.

"However, after listening to His Highness's lecture, the old man has a few questions in his heart, and he wants to ask His Highness."

Kong Yingda turned to Li Mu and bowed to salute.

Li Mu hurriedly returned the salute: "Just ask about Kong Saijiu, I know everything." ” Here, thousands of students listened with bated breath, and the silence was like an empty valley.

"On that day in the court, His Royal Highness's people could add taxes and taxes to the people, and use them for the people's speech, the old man was deeply admired."

"The wine of the Confucius Festival is too famous."

"There is also the statement that His Royal Highness mentioned that the court can borrow from the people, and the people can also borrow from the court, which also makes the old man refreshed."

"Don't dare."

"Today's speech by His Royal Highness, in which there is a talk about the Juntian system, the old man disagrees.

Although the increase in population makes the land insufficient for distribution, as His Highness said, if the per capita mu is adjusted in time and the malicious mergers of the people are punished, it will not be as His Highness said, and the tax system will collapse, not to mention that the government and military system cannot be sustained. ” Li Mu smiled: "Then let me get an axe in front of Kong Saijiu."

Kong Yingda shook his hand and said: "Sit and talk about it, my generation is also demeanor."

Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ” "The timely adjustment of the per capita mu and the punishment of malicious mergers by the people are indeed effective, but in Mu's view, it is a symptom but not a cure.

People's hearts are greedy, dare to ask Confucius Sacrifice Wine and all the students in the audience, how many people in the world can give up the land that has been handed over, this is one of them.

Second, how to characterize the malicious merger of the people, but there is a criterion for how to let the local government implement it if it is ruled by people alone, which is too great a requirement for the character of officials, and I dare to ask how many officials in the world can be so upright."

Li Mu's continuous questions made the students in the audience nod again and again.

"In fact, the Juntian system is indeed a good government, which allowed the chaotic world to quickly settle down after the end of the Sui Dynasty, which also allowed the population lost by the war to recover.

But any good government has its limitations, just like the Juntian system, it is good government when it has a population of 10 million, but it becomes bad government when it has a population of 20 million or 30 million.

The tax that can be easily borne when the per capita is 100 mu is harsh when it is 50 mu, and when it is 20 mu per capita, it will force the people to change their children and eat. ” However, the imperial court could not reduce the tax, because once the tax was lowered, the tax received for the same land was lower.

Why, because the population has increased, the land is fixed?

” Kong Yingda bowed and said: "What His Royal Highness said is reasonable, and the old man is taught." ” "I'm ashamed."

"Your Highness has a solution to this" "Nope."

Li Mu said with certainty, "The problem is not the good or bad policy, nor the purity and corruption of officials, but the key is population growth."

In other words, as long as the population does not stop growing, the contradiction of land will always exist, and there are only two ways to solve it, one is to reform the tax system, and the other is to increase land. ” "Reforming the tax system is easier said than done.

Because it will touch vested interests, it is inevitable that it will bring turmoil in the world, and in serious cases, it will subvert the country.

There are also two options for increasing land, one is to reclaim wasteland, river beaches, tidal flats, etc., this method is mild, visible and slow, without the hard work of two or three generations, not many problems can be solved.

Another kind of war that can produce quick results and lose national strength is foreign wars, like previous dynasties, encroaching on the land of other countries. ” "What His Highness said is reasonable, and the old man will be taught."

Kong Yingda keenly felt that this was not a topic that could be talked about in public, so he stopped talking in time.

The old man also wanted to ask His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness said that every school-age child will have the opportunity to go to school, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, which is beneficial to the country and the people, and is worthy of appreciation.

But what the old man wants to ask is, if you want to achieve the above, even with the power of the imperial court and one country, how can Your Highness guarantee that you can do it, or is Your Highness just expressing his wish on a whim?"

"It's a wish."

Li Mu said honestly.

This answer made the students in an uproar, and now in their hearts, Li Mu is a kind of divine existence.

But it was shattered by Li Mu's three words, and Li Mu personally pulled himself down from the throne of God.

"At least for three and a half years, I can't do it."

Li Mu said calmly: "However, the reason why I am standing here today and begging you to go down to Jiangnan with me is to fulfill this dream.

When the power of one person is always exhausted, the power of people with lofty ideals in the world is endless.

Dare to ask the world's scholars, are you willing to complete this dream with me" "Students are willing to go."

"Students are willing to go."

"We are all willing to work with His Highness."

In an instant, the students' hearts were boiling again.

Kong Yingda couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this son was born to be a leader.

Li Mu pressed his hands down, and the scene was immediately silent.

"What I want to say to you is that this dream can come true, and it will come true in your hands.
