The old man was named Yang Biao. In this great Chen State, Yang Biao had already gone through five dynasties and was now over 90 years old. When Emperor Zhuangzong was there, he had become the prime minister. That was forty years ago.

At that time, Emperor Zhuangzong ascended the throne at a young age, and the country was in danger of overthrow. There were civil strife in Shanyue, Northern Yan invaded, and even the Northern Yan people fought under Luoyang.

Just when everyone thought that Emperor Chen should travel south and give up Luoyang, Yang Biao stepped forward and advocated a decisive battle, protected the emperor, defeated the invading enemy, and then assisted Zhuang Zong with all his heart, creating a situation of revival in Da Chen.

After that, Zhuangzong died. He ruled for more than 30 years, and the country was prosperous and the people were safe. Until seven years ago, he gradually began to lose his body and so he asked to retire.

The late emperor repeatedly tried to keep him, but he was determined. After retiring, he invited him to the Tianren Pavilion. Now, Yang Biao has become the chief minister of the Tianren Pavilion.

He seems to be looking forward to the new article.

After all, he has read a lot of books here, but he really hopes to see what other famous works are there today.

Several other bachelors also laughed.

But his smiles were different. For example, the scholar Jiang did not agree with this. He was once the leader of Qingliu and founded Luoxue. His disciples and former officials were everywhere in the world. When he was old, he entered the Tianren Pavilion.

His knowledge is profound, and his articles over the years have not yet been seen by him. Because of this, he feels a little bored. Today, he is afraid that it will be difficult to gain anything.

Here, Chen Yixing has the lowest qualifications. Outside the Tianren Pavilion, he has a great influence, but here he can only be the last one. He smiled and thought to himself, I wonder what article will be sent next.

Not long after, someone outside sang in ancient tunes like ancient rhymes: "Liu Mengyuan, a doctor of the Palace, will send you a post on Shi's article, please ask all the officials to appreciate it."

The one who entered the Qunxian Hall was a deaf and mute old slave. He held an article in his hands, hunched over, and tiptoed to deliver the article to this silent Qunxian Hall.

Then, a book boy answered it and carefully picked up the article. He looked around and waited for instructions.

Yang Biao had white hair, and under the candlelight, the frown on his face made him look deep. Although he was old, he still knelt down and abides by etiquette. He said seriously: "My thought."

"yes."

The boy said: "Tax theory."

He cleared his throat and continued: "Reduce taxes, save punishments, dig ditches, select virtuous people, and light labor service. This is the foundation of the country. Reduce taxes..."

This article is Chen Kaizhi's statement.

It was actually an article written by Liu Mengyuan through Chen Kaizhi's discussion.

This tax theory has never been controversial in the Great Chen Dynasty. From the emperor to the people, some kind of political correctness has been formed.

It seems that only by reducing taxes can one be a kind person, but once the opposite is true, the emperor suddenly becomes a foolish monarch and the minister becomes a treacherous slander.

So when I heard that this article was titled taxation, all the bachelors were shocked.

It’s not that this topic cannot be used as a topic, but that this topic will not have any new meaning at all.

Isn’t this tax theory just a tax cut? No matter how good your opinion is, it’s still a tax cut.

Over the years, I have been wondering how many articles about tax cuts are, but I don’t have more or less.

There were too many such views from predecessors, so what else could you make of flowers? It was like, in the last life, after Tang poetry became popular, the Song people stopped writing poetry. But they loved to write lyrics, not because poetry was not good, but because the ancestors had already put the creation of poetry to the peak, and later generations could no longer surpass their predecessors, so why bother to feel uncomfortable for themselves?

Because of this, everyone is interested. It is definitely an outstanding feature of being recommended by a doctor of tax theory.

But as I listened, the faces of the bachelors changed.

Some people actually opposed the reduction of taxes? This was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

The scholar Jiang immediately slapped the table in anger, his wrinkled face twitched, and spoke in displeasure: "It's ridiculous."

The boy who was reading the article was stunned for a moment and stopped.

Yang Biao was calm on his face and just said, "Continue to recite."

"Taxes are the fundamentals of the country. If they are not solid at all, how can the court be close to the people, love the people, and love the people..."

When the boy recited: "Take it from the people and use it for the people."

Suddenly, the air in the group of wise halls seemed to suddenly become tense.

Yang Biao, who was listening calmly, actually shook his body and closed his eyes and thought deeply.

Other bachelors all showed strange expressions on their faces.

After reading a piece of text, the boy received the article and bowed to Yang Biao.

This tense air is still hanging in the Qunxian Hall.

call……

"Who did this?" Yang Biao opened his eyes slightly, stroked the desk with his hands, expressionless, but his eyes were a little deep.

"Return to Mr. Yang, this is the view of Chen Kaizhi, a juren of Wenchang Academy, recommended by Liu Mengyuan."

Chen Kaizhi?

Chen Yixing, the King of Jing, was sitting seriously, and the expression on his face was a little out of control.

The scene of the gentle and jade-like young man leaning on the side of the boat suddenly appeared in his mind, letting the wind blow, and the scene of the gentle boy singing loudly against the boat.

Those days were the most relaxing moments in his life. He laughed and felt sad, and revealed his nature. For a moment, he forgot many worries. When he saw the river slapped the bottom of the boat and splashed out white waves, he suddenly remembered the ebb and flow of the tide. When he saw the scenery on the shore passing by, he thought that the country was still the same, and that the past and present were things, but he just laughed at it.

The world is full of difficulties, why not laugh out loud?

"Chen Kaizhi?" Chen Yixing blurted out subconsciously.

Yang Biao couldn't help but look at Chen Yixing, and asked curiously: "Why, Your Highness recognizes this person?"

Chen Yixing couldn't help but sigh: "I had a chance to meet you. I was young and very open-minded. But after all, I was young and didn't know the pain of life, so I would have this article."

Chen Yixing said this, which was quite a bit of excuse for Chen Kaizhi.

Although his view is very politically incorrect, he is still a child.

Some bachelors who do not agree with very well looked better.

Yang Biao stroked his beard, but laughed and said, "Is he really a young man?"

"That's right, please don't be surprised by Mr. Yang." Chen Yixing sighed.

Yang Biao's face was deep, and he said to the boy, "Get the article for me to see again."

The boy hurriedly bowed forward and presented the article.

Yang Biao lowered his head and began to look meticulously. At the end, he murmured: "Take it from the people and use it for the people. Well, it's wonderful, it's amazing."

After saying a word, everyone in the seat was shocked.

This means that this article has been recognized by the Chief Auxiliary of the Tianren Pavilion?

Then Mr. Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a crazy person's words. How could Mr. Yang give such praise?"

Yang Biao raised his eyes and stared at Master Jiang, and asked seriously: "When Emperor Taizu was here, how is the tax comparison today?"

When Chiang was stunned, he was a little puzzled, but replied: "When Taizu was there, the tax was more than twice as high as today."

Yang Biao said with a smile: "That's it. Taxes are the foundation of the country. So, can the people be happy when Emperor Taizu Gao was there?"

Xueshen Jiang sneered and said, "Emperor Taizu Gao is wise and the people are still rich."

"That's it." Yang Biao continued to say seriously: "Since Taizu's reign, everyone thinks that tax cuts are the only way to love the people, but they don't know that as Chen Kai said, tax cuts do not mean to love the people, it is clearly the court's shirk responsibility."

He sighed deeply, and then sighed.

"The essence of the court is to maintain peace in the people, otherwise what is the use of the court? But if there is no tax to support it, how can the people be safe, how can they protect and how can they love the people? I have been ruling the world for thirty years. At first, I didn't know this truth. Only by truly taking the family can I know how difficult national affairs are. If there is no foundation of taxes, where does the court's raising troops, providing relief, and education come from?"

"You guys, you are all wrong. Since Emperor Taizu Gao surrendered, everyone has been wrong. It is wrong. I think that tax reduction can make the world clear. I don't know that the reduction of taxes is a shirk to the people of our country. The direction of the court should be how to use this tax to benefit the people and use this wealth and wealth for reality, rather than just reducing taxes. Back then, the Jiageng Rebellion, the Northern Yan invaded, and the creatures were miserable, buried thousands of miles and blood flowing. Why? Since Taizu, the court has neglected to control water, and every flood season, floods flooded and disasters, and the wealth accumulated by dozens of prefectures and counties suddenly disappeared overnight. Why is this? After all, it is because the court only cuts taxes and refuses to collect taxes, prepares for wars and promotes water conservancy."

"This article is far-sighted and does not succumb to small profits. Is this really the young man's point of view?" Yang Biao looked at Chen Yixing.

Chen Yixing was already shocked. He read 100,000 books, and in almost every sage book, he loves the people. Therefore, he thinks that Chen Kaizhi is full and wants to be a crazy student. Unexpectedly, Yang Biao talks freely, which gives him a feeling of enlightenment.

Chen Yixing hurriedly said, "This person is only fifteen or sixteen years old."

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, showing a little surprise.

He just thought that the so-called youth that Chen Yixing mentioned was just relative to the old bones, for them, I think this young guy should be over 30 or 40 years old, but...

"It's so rare that I'm so young and treating things so profoundly. I'm proposing..."

He became solemn and continued with a shocking sentence: "This article can be listed on the list of heaven and man!
