After that, Lin Yi went on to criticize the various industries in Tang. For example, the corruption of the imperial examination system. It sounded wonderful, allowing the children of the poor to stand out, but when it was really implemented, wouldn't it allow the nobles to cover the sky with one hand?
In addition, the strangest thing about the Great Tang was the salary policy. Li Yuan, the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had formulated a very strange system called the public money.
The government of the Great Tang would ask them to take out loans and use the money they earned to pay their salaries. They would be self-sufficient. The central government would only need to give them a sum of start-up funds, and then let them find a way to earn the rest of their salaries.
This was called official money. It was invented by Li Yuan, and Li Shimin was currently developing it.
This kind of weird policy, of course, was scolded by Lin Yi.
Putting everything else aside, lending money was a technical job. If officials at all levels who did not understand the economy were to handle it, it would be strange if they did not lose money.
What if he lost money?
Then, they would forcefully buy and sell, forcefully lending money to the rich. In the end, the unlucky ones would still be the commoners.
……
Lin Yi's saliva almost dried up from the barrage of insults.
At first, Li Shiming and the others looked at Lin Yi with fire in their eyes. If Lin Yi couldn't come up with something, only death awaited him.
But as Lin Yi continued to criticize them, everyone's expressions started to change. They were confused, confused, and enlightened…
Finally, Lin Yi finished his sentence and gave a wonderful summary.
"Everyone, this is a bunch of sh * t reasons, holly sh * t!”
Li Shi Min clenched his fists, his face turning green and purple, unable to speak.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the other civil officials wished they could find a hole to hide in.
Listening to a single word from the king was better than reading ten years of books. In the past, he had thought that the Great Tang's policies were correct, and that under the wise king Li Shimin's leadership, the Great Tang was on its way to glory.
But after Lin Yi said that, everyone fell silent. It was as if they had just eaten sh * t. The policies of Tang seemed to be a pile of sh * t, even worse than sh * t.
Changle held her cheek and looked at Lin Yi without blinking, full of admiration and adoration.
When Zhangsun Chong saw this, he was burning with jealousy and almost exploded on the spot.
The calmest people on the field were the few boorish generals-they didn't understand what Lin Yi was saying at all! It's over if you're reckless!
There was a moment of silence. Everyone had their own thoughts.
Lin Yi smiled and sat down.
"Your Majesty, I'm done. Although my words are unpleasant, they're not unreasonable. If Your Majesty wants to kill me, I'll accept it.”
Li Shi Min clenched his fists. After a while, he said,"I'm not a tyrant like Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty. How could I kill someone just because of a word? What you said just now, although it's unpleasant to hear, it's not without reason.”
At this moment, Wei Zheng stood up."Your Majesty! Lin Yi's words were like pearls of pearls, every sentence was classic, and his analysis of the Tang Empire hit the nail on the head. I think that with Lin Yi's answer, he will be the top scholar this year!”
"This humble subject agrees!"
"I agree!"
The group of civil officials, with the exception of Zhangsun Wuji, all stood out to support Lin Yi. They were all fans of Lin Yi.
"Your Majesty!"
The Minister of Revenue, Dai Zhou, praised," Your Majesty, Lin Yi's answer is unprecedented. I think we should ask the historian to record what Lin Yi said and let the officials copy it a hundred times as a motivation for future work!"”
Li Shi Min was speechless.
Li Shiming was about to hit someone, but he had to admit that Lin Yi's answer hit the nail on the head. He saw the problem that ordinary people couldn't see, even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others couldn't see.
This kid is so young, how could he be so amazing?
Li Shi Min couldn't help but mutter to himself, his love for talent gradually rising…
If this kid didn't go against him, he might be able to have a miraculous effect when he became an official in the capital in the future…
However, he had already agreed to Zhangsun Wuji's marriage and could not go back on his word.
Zhangsun Chong didn't expect that he would lose to Lin Yi after preparing for three days and three nights. Where did this kid get all this nonsense from?
Lin Yi blinked at Changle.”
"Brat, don't be too pleased with yourself. Do you have a solution to what you said just now?”
There was a way to solve it, but how could Lin Yi tell Li Shiming for free? Dream on!
"Of course, there are solutions, but it is not within the scope of today's discussion. His Majesty did not ask just now.”
"You!"
"Good, good, good, the first round of the theory examination is over. I announce that Lin Yi and Zhangsun Chong are tied for first place!”
"What, tie!"
"Your Majesty, I have not studied much. Don't lie to me. My eldest nephew clearly said it better!”
"Bullsh * t, which eye of yours said that Lin Yi was better?”
Old Foolish Yuchi said with reason and evidence," When my eldest nephew answered, everyone present was amazed. After that, they even clapped crazily. However, Zhangsun Chong, this kid, no one clapped. It was obvious who was better!”
What the old fool said made sense, and Li Shimin couldn't refute it.
"Zhen is the main examiner. If Zhen says it's a draw, then it's a draw!”
"Your Majesty, you're obviously cheating…"
"Black Uncle, forget it. If it's a draw, then it's a draw. Who asked His Majesty to be the main examiner?”Lin Yi smiled confidently. He knew that Li Shiming was going back on his words, but he didn't back down.
"If it's a draw, of course we have to play an extra match!”
