Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Li Yang nodded: "How could I deceive Your Highness? As the eldest son of the Great Qin, His Highness has such a heart of worrying about the country and the people. In the future, it will definitely be the blessing of the Great Qin and the people. This ambition is so precious."

As soon as Li Yang's remarks came out, even Wang Zhanshi who was on the side was overjoyed.

Fu Su seemed a little excited. He had always been denied by his father in the past, but today he was unexpectedly recognized and appreciated by Li Yang. This was a very unexpected thing for him, and it also made him extremely excited.

In fact, after Fusu went through today's early court, he also had a general understanding of Li Yang's philosophy of governing the country.

Whether it is the "Public Law" he edited, or the sustainable development strategy issued today, all of them are for the sake of the livelihood of the people. That is to say, this Li Zhongcheng, in fact, his strategy for governing the country can be regarded as a benevolent government.

It's just that the benevolent government implemented by this Li Zhongcheng can get the support and approval of the emperor, but the benevolent policy strategy proposed by himself is always refuted by the emperor.

Isn't all of this what Li Zhongcheng said, is the method wrong?

Thinking of this, Fusu hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted: "I also hope that the Taifu will teach me how to govern the country."

Li Yang smiled slightly: "There is no way to learn how to govern a country."

"Ah?" Fu Su was taken aback, with question marks all over his face.

At this time, he was really confused, he couldn't understand Li Yang's words at all, and asked curiously: "What do you mean by what the master said?"

Li Yangdao: "The study of governing the country is very different from the Confucianism. The Confucianism is all contained in the poems and books. You only need to study hard on the readers every day. The essence of Confucianism will naturally be learned. However, the study of governing the country is It is a technique, it is a method. What is a method? A method is a strategy that can solve a problem. Therefore, there is no way to learn the study of governing the country. The only way is to rely on practice!"

"Do?" Fusu was confused.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, the only way to do it is to keep doing it, to try and do everything possible to solve Daqin's current difficulties, and the ability to govern the country will be learned naturally."

Before Li Yang came to the Taiwort, he had already thought very clearly.

This young master Fuzi, in terms of knowledge, I am afraid that Li Yang himself can't compare with him. After all, he has studied with Chun Yuyue, a Confucian scholar since he was a child. He has never learned any ancient collections of poetry. It is impossible to teach him to read, right?

Moreover, to be honest, in addition to knowledge, the governance of the country is indeed based on knowledge and methods, and it depends on handling government affairs in person and gaining experience from it.

With his big talk about the idea of ​​governing the country, it is better to let Fusu slowly try to do it, start from small things, let him personally participate in governing the country, so that he will naturally understand what governing the country is and how to govern the country well.

If you do too many things, you will naturally learn this skill of governing the country.

Only in this way will he understand that it is impossible to rely solely on the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith in the poems and books Chunyu Yue taught him. Only truly effective solutions can solve the country's problems and Only a truly effective method can achieve the result of making the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

After listening to Li Yang's words, Fusu pondered for a while, and then suddenly enlightened, and bowed: "The Taifu's words are really simple and shocking, and they are so enlightening. It turns out that the study of governing a country is not in words, but in deeds." , Fusu is really enlightened today."

Fusu really had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds and suddenly awakening.

The reason why my own policy of light corvee service was not approved by his father, and the reason why he would be directly demoted to nothing by Li Yang in the court today, is that the most important reason was that he had proposed this idea at the beginning. When planning to reduce the number of corvees, they did not think deeply about the results of this strategy of light corvees.

I just take it for granted that light corvee is a benevolent government, and the result will naturally be beneficial to the livelihood of the people.

Now it seems that it is useless to only understand theoretical speech, and it may even harm the country.

Thinking of this, Fu Su really admired Li Yang completely, pointing out the essentials of governing the country in one sentence, this kind of teacher is really awesome.

Li Yang didn't expect that a word he said casually would cause so many thoughts in others.

Seeing that Fusu agreed with his own teaching method, he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Well, I want to ask Your Highness, what does Your Highness think is the current problem of Daqin?"

Fusu knew that it was Li Yang who was testing him. In order to try to perform well in front of the Tai Tuo for the first time, Fusu thought about it carefully, and then replied confidently: "My Daqin originally had a real problem. There are too many, the law is too strict, the labor is too heavy, the tax is too high, and the people cannot live in peace. However, with the Taifu’s reform and today’s sustainable development strategy, the worries of strict laws and heavy labor can be solved Therefore, Fusu believes that the only problem facing our Great Qin right now is the excessively high taxes, and it is advisable to urgently reduce taxes and lighten taxes.”

After finishing speaking, Fusu looked at Li Yang happily, thinking that Li Yang would be satisfied with this answer, which not only flattered his achievements, but also pointed out Da Qin's current difficulties.

Wang Zhanshi also boasted at the side: "Your Highness said it very well!"

However, the praise did not wait...

After Li Yang finished listening, he rolled his eyes, then looked at the two of them like a fool, and said, "What a hammer, it's just stupid!"

Fusu: "..."

Wang Zhanshi: "..."

Chapter 40 Mercenaryism

For Fusu and Wang Zhanshi, the smiles on their faces a moment ago froze in this second...

The two booed each other.

The two of them didn't understand what a hammer meant, but Wang Zhan felt that the words were referring to him.And the latter sentence is simply stupid, and it refers to Fusu.

At first, I thought my answer was very good, especially when I flattered Li Yang incidentally, thinking that Li Yang would be very happy after hearing it, but in the end...he was scolded as an idiot.

Fusu immediately had a feeling that he wanted to find a hole in the ground and go down.

"Teacher..." Fu Su hesitated to speak.

Li Yang curled his lips and said, "Why, does Your Highness feel dissatisfied?"

Fusu felt as if he had eaten a fly, so he had no choice but to say: "I hope the Taifu will teach me."

Li Yang said in an old-fashioned way: "Now in my Great Qin, the 200 million laborers are about to be disbanded. Why? Isn't it because the treasury is out of food! You actually said that the most urgent problem of my Great Qin at this time is actually It’s tax reduction, my God, if you tell your Majesty this, you can go back wherever you came from, believe it or not!”

Wang Zhanshi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Li Yang curled his lips: "Didn't your Highness just come back from the frontier, then go back to the frontier!"

"..." Fusu and Wang Zhanshi felt like they wanted to die.

Although what Li Yang said was not pleasant, but what he said was really reasonable, and Fu Su was speechless for a while.

Li Yang is also very speechless, Fu Su is too benevolent for being so realistic.Now I finally understand why the emperor has not appointed him as the crown prince for so long. If he is his emperor's father, he would not dare to hand over Daqin to such a kind son.

It seems that it is not as easy as imagined to train this guy well.

Li Yang sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, there are things that can be done and things that can't be done. This light taxation is something that can't be done right now. Let's not say that my Daqin treasury is so poor that it can hardly support the military and government. There is still surplus food in the national treasury, so we can’t lightly pay taxes at this time. Once the tax is reduced and the treasury is short of money and food, who will build the Great Wall, Lishan Mountain, and Afang Palace? This is not to play with the project bidding policy that was just decided today. Is it?"

"..." Fu Su was also dumbfounded when he heard this.

He didn't think about it at all. Now after listening to Li Yang's analysis, he realized that Li Yang really didn't wrong him when he said he was stupid.

At this moment, he himself felt that he was stupid enough, even ten times stupider than the policy of light corvee that he thought of before.

"Teacher's teachings, Fusu has kept them in mind, I didn't think carefully, I was too stupid." Fusu sighed, with a look of disappointment and self-blame.At this moment, he had to admit that Li Yang looked at problems more comprehensively than himself.

Although Wang Zhanshi was called a hammer by Li Yang before, but now he is convinced.

Li Yang comforted: "Don't be dejected. Your Highness is only thinking about problems, and they all start with benevolent government. That's why everything is inconsistent with the status quo of Great Qin. Governing the country should be based on profit."

"With profit as the starting point?" Fusu was stunned.

One must know that the former teacher, Chunyu Yue, often taught him that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust should be used to govern the country, and he despised profit the most.
