Within the Dew Hall.
Li Er's original intention of taking the school examination had completely evolved into a pair of long-middle-sized pairs.
As Li Dun grinded the ink, he continued,""Next, we'll talk about the simple administration, the strong army, and the administration of officials.”
Li Er was a little confused. Why didn't he mention the last plan, but he didn't ask either, afraid that he would disturb Li Dun's thoughts. He sat upright and listened carefully.
"The so-called simplified administration is actually the administration of simplicity.”
Li Dun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying,
"The Great Tang has three provinces and six departments. The Ministry of Central Affairs, the Ministry of Secrets, and the Ministry of History each have their own duties. The Ministry of Central Affairs drafts decrees, the Ministry of Secrets reviews them, and the Ministry of History does things. It can be said to be extremely simplified.”
Li Er smiled silently. He was very satisfied with his explanation and said,
" I think so too. The Three Provinces and Six Ministries system started in the Sui Dynasty and fell into the hands of the Li Tang Empire. For now, there won't be any chaos. I understand what you want to say. I will remember the simplicity of the administration and will never let it become redundant and disorderly.”
Li Dun shrugged. It was so easy to talk to smart people.
"How should we strengthen the army?" asked Li Er.”
"The theory that the Crown Prince and the King of Wu had mentioned makes sense.”
Li Dun lowered his head and looked at the ink in the inkstone that was slowly increasing. He put down the ink stick in his hand and raised his head to look at Li Er's hopeful eyes. He muttered,
"However, there is a fundamental difference between making the country rich and strengthening the people and the so-called strong army.”
"A strong army is the foundation of the Great Tang. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will strive to become stronger.”
"A weak country without diplomacy will be attacked by the masses. They will not be able to defend themselves and restrain their subjects. The people will rebel if they are dissatisfied. Their subjects will be disloyal and greedy.”
Li Er's expression turned solemn as he deeply agreed.
This was a lesson learned from the past dynasties.
"How?"
"Qiang Min!"
Li Dun said unhurriedly,
"Soldiers come from the people. If the people are strong, the soldiers will be strong.”
"It's not enough for the people to not worry about food and clothing. They also have to strengthen their bodies. They have meat for three meals, clothes for winter, solutions for problems, and fields at home. Meat can strengthen their bones and muscles, clothes can resist the cold.”
"It's difficult!" Li Er shook his head.
There were so many people in the world. How could it be possible for everyone to be like this?
"That's why I have a backup plan."
"Help the poor!" Li Dun said resolutely.”
In the emperors 'chat group, every emperor was discussing their experiences. As for Li Dun, he had been influenced by the modern era and made some suggestions that were widely recognized by the emperors.
Li Er's body trembled, and his eyes lit up."Tell me!"
Thinking of the policies he had personally experienced in modern times, Leetton said,"
"There are many poor people in the world, but they still have to pay taxes for the country. How much tax can we collect from them?”
"Since ancient times, dynasties have reduced taxes for such people, and even reduced them. However, even so, they are still poor. The poor have no way to make a living, only food and clothing.”
"As for the poverty relief policy, it helps the poor families. When they escape poverty, they will naturally pay taxes for the Great Tang. A small tax for one family will be a large tax for the tens of thousands of families in the world.”
"As for the governance of officials, it is linked to poverty relief.”
Li Dun suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the next plan.
Li Er's wrist moved quickly. He held the pen in his hand and was engrossed in it. As he listened to Li Dun's words, he wrote small words on the paper like flying flies.
"If the country wants to help the poor, it needs officials to do it. If the officials are corrupt, then helping the poor will become a disaster. The poor will still be poor, but the national treasury will be reduced day by day.”
"That's why the administration of officials is the system of the country," Li Dun said with a solemn expression.”
"The first thing to do is to cultivate morality.”
"Zuo Zhuan records the way of being an official: The first is to establish morality, the second is to establish meritorious service, and the second is to establish words. Although it has not been abolished for a long time, this is called immortality.”
"These three undyings are easy to talk about, but not easy to do.”
Li Er sighed.”
"That's why we have to assess the officials.”
"Since ancient times, the assessment of officials has been divided into four good deeds and twenty-seven most.”
"But there have been fakers since ancient times."
"Every time the Imperial Court wants to carry out something, it always hands it over to the Supervisor. The Supervisor hands it over to the Prefectural Governor, and the Prefectural Governor hands it over to the County Magistrate. Each of them completes the formalities that have been issued, but they no longer ask if it has brought any benefits to the people.”
"If you have the heart to serve the people and the people get benefits, your achievements are the best.”
"If the people don't have any benefits, their achievements will be the worst. These officials can't be used and should even be killed to warn others.”
Li Dun said.
Although his voice was soft, it contained a thousand pounds.
Li Er was fascinated when he heard that. He looked at Li Dun like a student who liked to read and looked at a teacher who was giving a lecture. He was extremely serious.
In the emperor chat group.
Ying Zheng: " This young man is so good at talking!”
Liu Bang: " The poverty relief policy is reasonable. If I had thought of this back then, I would have been able to pass on the Great Han Dynasty for hundreds of years!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: " The facts have proven that my control over the people is still the best!”
"My strategy to strengthen the army is not bad either!”
Zhao Kuangyin: " This Emperor's simplified administration is the golden principle that this Emperor dug out from his heart and blood. If Li Shimin remembered this, Li Tang would not have had the An Lushan Rebellion!"”
Nurhachi: Without the governance of officials that I proposed, no matter how good it is, the country will be harmed by a group of silverfish! Therefore, my suggestion is the best!”
Liu Bang: " Nonsense! It's clearly my legal plan. It's better!"”
The group started arguing again.
Ying Zheng: "[`Д] is all about shouting, listen to the suggestion of the amount, there is no society to come out, the suggestion of the same amount has been suggested by the group leader society. Look at this Li Shimin, he must be the best!”
At this time, Li Shiming was carefully recording on the paper. The small words appeared one after another, and he wrote dozens of notes.
Looking at the words on the paper, Li Er liked them more and more.
Li Shiming carefully arranged the papers and placed them on the side of the table. He pressed his palm on the papers as if he was afraid that they would disappear. He looked at Li Dun with anticipation and asked,
"Then the last plan is to scatter if you are not convinced. How do you explain it?”
