Chapter 3040: The Qin and Han palaces hold the land, the country is destroyed, the world is withered
At this time, Song Ci continued: "There are also things about education and scientific research..." "Although the previous scientific research system was not good, I also understood in my heart that it is not advisable to win scholars by poetry and prose."
"Su Shi and Su Xue of this dynasty once said this. He said that if the court set up a moral statute to win scholars, it would be that scholars in the world would rush to make false statements."
"If the court used filial piety as the standard to select officials, then brave people might imitate the filial sons in history and cut off their own flesh to treat their parents.
Those who are timid may live next to their parents' tombs and keep their tombs for several years."
"If the court selected officials with integrity, then scholars in the world would rush to ride broken cars, ride sick horses, wear worn-out clothes, and eat very poor food.
As long as the court thinks it is an honest thing, they will deliberately do it for others to see.”
"So the disadvantages of winning a scholar by virtue are very obvious. Su Shi's remarks back then were quickly confirmed in reality."
"When Zhezong of this dynasty, Sima Guang requested to implement the "Ten Certificates" to recommend scholars.
Then in the first year of the Daguan period of Huizong, the imperial examination system was changed again and the "Eight-Essential Sciences" was selected."
"These eight actions are: good parents are filial, good brothers are merciful, good internal relatives are harmonious, good external relatives are marriage, trust in friends are responsibility, be kind in the state is kind, be kind in the state is kind, know the righteousness of the king and the ministers is loyal, and achieve harmony between righteousness and profit."
"The consequences are true. Just as Su Shi expected, these officials who changed the imperial examinations to select scholars by articles and morality and behavior were really useless! In the end, the eight-legged system of selecting scholars had to be eliminated."
"So Shen Mo, I'll tell you," Song Ci said solemnly at this moment: "No matter whether it is good to use articles to select scholars, it is a way out for scholars all over the world.
If it is gone, your new learning will block the progress of many literati in the world!"
"Just last year, there were as many as 7,800 candidates who went to Lin'an to take the provincial examination.
After trying these three years, the world hopes to gain fame through this path, and there are more than 300,000 literati who have shown their ambitions!"
"If these scholars all over the world will be blocked by you.
I ask you, is there anyone else in this world going to study?
Do you think that the country can be managed by Tongzhou's workers and businessmen alone?”
“…Is there any more?”
At this time, Shen Mo heard this and did not answer Song Ci's words, but asked Song Ci if there were any other questions.
"Of course there is!"
At this moment, Song Ci said without hesitation: "The end is the land... According to what you said, the land is slowly concentrated in the hands of wealthy and powerful people. This phenomenon is called land annexation by you, and you regard it as a flood and beast, and think it is one of the root causes of the destruction of every dynasty."
"But do you know that land annexation has existed since ancient times, and even if the people lose their land, they become hired workers.
Tenant farmers, but no matter who the owner of the land is, they still need to be cultivated, and these people can support themselves."
"What's ridiculous is that you, Shen Mo, hate this incident deeply.
Do you know that the Chinese people's desire and persistence for the land will never disappear?
Although you can distribute the land of the big households to the people, you can never stop land annexation?"
"In the end, these lands will gradually be merged into the hands of the powerful.
Maybe before you die, you will see the day when the land is owned by a few people again."
When he said this, Song Ci sneered: "And those greedy land annexers are all powerful people in your Shen Mo Xin Dynasty! Apart from this, what is the slight difference from before?"
"Your officials, if you want to use systems to restrain them, it will be difficult for people to restrain their hearts.
Do you think those scholars are corrupt scholars, they think they only have ambitions in their stomachs, and they will only climb up with the desire for money and power... But I ask you Shen Mo, do you think your subordinates have no ambitions?"
"In the end, we still have to talk about the people."
At this moment, Song Ci looked at Shen Mo with pain in his eyes: "When you were not before, my people in Song Dynasty were indeed in trouble.
But since the release of Tongzhou Chenlang, do you know how many people have died under your stir?"
… “After all, I, Song Ci, don’t think there is anything good about the Song Dynasty before.
But it can still hold on when it is in turmoil."
"The original Song Dynasty was not well-governed, the border was unstable, and the people were in distress, and they were still under the gaze of powerful enemies.
But it can still hold on for decades, but it is in your hands...hum!"
When Song Ci said this, he said to Shen Mo with a regretful look on his face: "I expect that after you take power, the world will be in decline, the country will be destroyed, and the clan will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed, and it will be doomed!"
… “You started out as an army, but behind the victory of every battle are all classes, even the entire country and the people, who have paid a huge price.”
"You think you are good at economics, but you harm your neighbors and use those products of strange and lewd skills to absorb the world's wealth and use it for your use."
"The innovations you made before seem to be correct in principle, but none of them are beneficial to the country in the long run.
Before you can become emperor, the world has become like this...Shen Mo!"
"...If this continues, the people of the Song Dynasty will be tortured to death by you!"
...At this time, Song Ci's voice hoarsely roared at Shen Mo.
Seeing his appearance, he felt full of grief and anger, but he had nowhere to vent his feelings.
At this point, he was still lamenting that he failed to kill Shen Mo, and secretly regretting that he failed to get rid of this disaster! Only then did Wang Xuan realize that Song Ci regarded his teacher Shen Mo as the culprit of the chaos of the world, so he dealt with him in a deliberate manner!… “…Is there any more?”
At this time, Shen Mo let out a long breath and asked Song Ci.
"No more, it's a pity that I can't be for the people of the world, except for you, a traitor..." Song Ci couldn't help but sigh.
After that, Song Ci looked at Shen Mo with a look of reluctance on his face and said, "You, Shen Mo, say that you are fighting for the people of the world, I believe this.
You are so talented that you are hard to find now. I admit that you are sincere and honest and honest."
"If you haven't reached such a high position, I, Song Ci, would be your best friend for the rest of my life.
If you are just a general guarding the border or a chief official in the border area, I am willing to always assist you and even die for you in the battle!"
"Chen Yuncong, you can be called a flawless good person, but do you know..." At this time, Song Ci gritted his teeth and said painfully: "The so-called justice and strength, the so-called reputation in history, and the so-called heroes of ancient and modern times.
They are never the ones who pay the price, but the people!"
"I am sad that the Qin and Han dynasties have been filled with land in the palaces... and the prosperity of the people is suffering.
Death, the people suffer!”
