Chapter 361 Exposed

Forced scholars to curse themselves, it can be seen that Li Kui's article "The Praise Plan" talks about Li Qingchen's pain points, which forced him into a desperate situation, and Li Qingchen absolutely had no way to solve it.

Not only did he not, but Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others had no solution. The population problem was definitely a terminally ill proposition in the feudal era when agriculture was relatively backward. No one could solve such a problem.

The grain output of China ranged from more than 200 kilograms in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to more than 200 kilograms in the Song Dynasty. The land did not bring more rewards to the hard-working Chinese people. In fact, it took 2,500 years for China's land output to 2,500 kilograms. The Song Dynasty could not solve the food security problem caused by the surge in population.

This problem cannot be solved, but the emperors and important ministers of the Song Dynasty all understood one truth: if the people don’t have enough food, they should rebel.

Once the population problem is thrown out, it will definitely be the king of this era and no one can solve it. Because the world's wealth is certain, after the population increases, the population tax and corvee, and the dividends brought by these populations doubled the taxes of the Song Dynasty. The people's income has not increased, but the burden has increased by at least twice. How can this problem be solved?

Wang Anshi's resurrection cannot be solved.

The total number of people taxes and corvee labor in the Song Dynasty was more than 45 million guan.

It was almost the same as the annual taxes in the early days of the Emperor Renzong. If the money was distributed to the rich, how many rich families in the world would have their families destroyed?

Of course, it is easy to solve the population problem, just kill it.

But if the population of 10 million is killed, there will be 90 million!

Li Qingchen thought with despair that he was trying to make trouble for reform, which was not a problem that could be solved by reform. Even if Confucius was resurrected, he could only stare at him in the face of the vast population of the Song Dynasty.

The reform cannot be solved.

It's faster to die if it doesn't change.

Li Qingchen sat on wax.

Population issues are the foundation of the reform that has been strangled to death!

He even took his anger on the unsightly scholar who wrote such a horrifying article in the palace examination. But Li Qingchen told him in his heart that this possibility exists completely, and it is not a guess that one day it will explode. This is going to be deadly. He finally set up a plan to deal with Su Che, and was ready to close the net, but when he was about to make a fuss, he raised his eyes and glared at Su Che, and cursed in his heart: "A treacherous villain, use external tricks?"

Li Qingchen could only think that this must be Su Che's trick, so he deliberately dug a hole and asked him to jump.

Su Che is still wondering?

Why was Li Qingchen stunned with the exam paper of Gongshi, as if he wanted to destroy the body and tear the paper into public?

Could it be that his nephew scolded him in the palace examination?

The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He felt that he could not let Li Qingchen take the lead. He decided to take the initiative. Su Che stood up and walked to Li Qingchen, and said calmly: "The chief examiner, is it difficult to judge whether it is difficult to judge, I can help."

Li Qingchen's eyes turned green and he sneered at Su Che: "Ziyou, good methods, Qingchen's defeat is not wrong."

Su Che was stunned. He had not tried his best yet, so you wouldn't be able to do so? No, he didn't use thunder means to deal with Li Qingchen. Why did this political enemy who was determined to kill him admit his failure?

Could it be that my personality charm influenced the other party, or was this guy who just ate lard bibimbap, blocked his mind and started talking nonsense?

As for the level of his nephew Su Guo, Su Che knew very well that the article could be written to a stable level, but it was not sharp enough. This was due to Su Guo's character and could not be changed. Su Che reached out and pulled the paper in Li Qingchen's hand. Li Qingchen gritted his teeth and did not let go. Su Che was worried that he would tear the paper, so he did not dare to use all his strength. He bit his back teeth and said, "Save it."

"You can't read this volume, please decide."

"It's better to let Your Majesty see you!"

Su Che couldn't believe Zhang Dun at all. There were many people in the court who wanted to kill him. Zhang Dun happened to be the one who jumped the most. He was worried about Zhang Dun.

Zhao Xu blinked for a while and was a little at a loss. A good palace examination shouldn't be a peaceful atmosphere. The scholars competed to praise the emperor, that is, he himself, and also sought after the achievements of the late emperor? After all, the topic of the palace examination has restricted the performance of the tribute scholars, which is originally a question of position.

Even if the conservatives want to maintain decency, they can only say that the people who implement the reform are not effective, and the emperor is very dedicated. Just like Su Guo's policy statement, it means that the executor's ability is insufficient and cannot turn the emperor's beautiful vision into the beautiful vision of the Song Dynasty.

Furthermore, the reform had no foundation in the Song Dynasty and had many opponents, so it was destined to be unsuccessful.

This is the ultimate that the Yuanyou Party members can do. What else can they do?

Next, the tribute scholars who knew what the emperor wanted to listen to and what articles he saw, and then followed the emperor's wishes to write articles criticizing the Yuanyou Party and praising the reforms. They completely nailed the Yuanyou Party to the pillar of shame in the Song Dynasty and would never turn over. But why, as the chief examiner of Li Qingchen, was so extreme because of a candidate's policy?

Zhao Xu took the test paper, his brows were tight and he was famous, which was very bad.

He was the emperor and could not break the rules, so he continued to read the copied paper. At the beginning, Zhao Xu was as beautiful as the spring breeze. This scholar still had some vision. He knew that it was not easy for the late emperor, so he worked diligently to deal with the government affairs, but in the end he died of exhaustion in the court. But as he read, Zhao Xu's face froze.

This is not a policy theory that uses the style of praising reforms, nor is it a policy theory that criticizes reformists and conservatives. This is a policy theory that looks very simple in population issues.

At first, Zhao Xu felt that the topic of "Zhiping Chapter" was a bit of a big deal.

In order to govern the world, how can the tribute scholars who have no official experience see through the truth?

But as a series of data appeared, Zhao Xu became nervous. He looked up at Li Qingchen and asked, "Li Aiqing, is this article true?"

In broad daylight, it would be unrealistic to let Li Qingchen talk lies with his eyes open. What's more, there is Su Che next to him. When Su Che reads this "Zhiping Chapter", he will definitely be picking on him, and it would be better to tell the truth. But it was really difficult for him to say this in front of everyone, so he had to nod.

It means that most of the data is true.

The prosperity of a dynasty comes from the increase in population, and the demise of a dynasty will also increase in population.

This is no longer a problem that reforms can solve. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song Dynasty has been building water conservancy, reclaiming wasteland, and sending agricultural officials to supervise the people's planting. However, the output of many of the reclaimed land is not large. As the population continues to increase, the people will never have enough food one day. This situation cannot be broken by the reformists and conservatives.

Emperor Zhao Xu was so anxious that he almost cried. He had known that the palace examination would encounter such a difficult problem. Why had he been thinking about presiding the palace examination before?

Isn’t this a cheating person?

The emperor would not curse, but he also wanted to capture this soul-stirring scholar who had broken through the sky and question him carefully. He was originally peaceful and pretended not to see him. Isn't it okay?

Why do you need to break it?

Zhao Xu even felt that he would spend the years he would be in horror.

After all, the ministers of the Song Dynasty could still become officials when the dynasties changed. However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty had only one way to die.

When the people can’t even eat enough, it is when the Song Dynasty is destroyed. It may be a natural disaster, or a man-made disaster.

Zhang Dun angrily took the paper on the desk. What's even more annoying is that this "Zhiping Pian" has no style at all. He talked about the consequences of the surge in population, but there was no solution. He hurriedly ended. He said indifferently: "The Song Dynasty should learn from it!"

It was so out of context that it made people so angry that Zhang Dun's hatred of evil made him angry, and he wanted to pull out this soul and kick him to death.

It's a scam!

Even Fan Chunren, who was a good-tempered person, looked at him and glared at him, and said to himself: "Would you like to resign? Now these new Jinshi are getting harder to discipline!"

Su Che also read the paper. According to his original intention, he should be happy. Li Qingchen presumed to preside over the imperial examination in the first year of Shaosheng, but the ending was likely to become a laughing stock.

A candidate who can't even judge the chief examiner appeared. How else did the examiner do it?

Li Qingchen knew that he could not continue to do anything, so he decisively begged the emperor: "I ask your Majesty to disassemble this volume."

"The copying of the name is the basis of fairness of the imperial examination, and it is absolutely necessary to make an exception. Once this example is opened, will there be fairness in the imperial examination in the future?" Although Su Che may not know the truth about beating the dog in the water, he does not lack similar methods.

Li Qingchen begged again: "Your Majesty, this son is witchy and confusing the public. I beg Your Majesty to dismiss this son to serve as a warning to others?"

"The Renzong ancestral system can be broken as long as you want? Besides, what this scholar said makes sense. The examiner should not decide the fate of the scholar based on his personal preferences."

Su Che continued to fight to the death. Anyway, he had already planned to confront Li Qingchen head-on, so he didn't care about the timing. Anyway, timing will only become increasingly unfavorable for the Yuanyou Party members, and there is no possibility of turning around.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Qingchen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Zhang Dun felt that Li Qingchen was disobedient, but his own people still had to help him at this time. He finally said, "I think there must be a complete solution for this son to write such an article. It is better for Your Majesty to summon this person into the palace and ask carefully."

"So how to decide the ranking?" Su Che naturally did not want to let such an interesting little guy be dismissed. Even if the emperor pinched his nose and accepted the arrogant words of the new Jinshi and never appointed an official position, this was not in line with his wishes. He felt that he should protect himself, this new Kegong, who had never been masked.

"So what if I give him a ranking?" Zhang Dun said indifferently: "He can see that the theory of population is related to the fate of the country, which is enough to show that this person has extraordinary insights. I, a high official and a generous salary in the Song Dynasty, have never criticized the scholars of the world. Within the three academy, he can choose."

Compared to others, Zhang Dun was much more decisive in his work. He did not give Su Che the chance to continue to get entangled, and decisively blocked Su Che's verbalism.

"Decompose the name of the paste." Emperor Zhao Xu also knew at this time that he could not retreat. If he really ruined the paper, it would be clean. But if the problem was not solved, it would still be a heart disease.

In the inner palace, the eunuch Hao Sui took scissors and twisted the paper into the paste and screamed in surprise: "It's Li Kui!"
