Chapter 39 The greatest evil in the world is not bad, but stupid!
"Your Majesty, Lord Ouyang, Zeng Gong asked for a meeting."
Someone came in to report.
Zhao Xu looked at Ouyang Bian, the owner here. Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Here you come."
Zeng Gong came in and saw that Zhao Xu was also there, so he was not surprised. He quickly crossed his hands to greet him.
After giving in, Ouyang Bian said: "Senior brother, is it a matter of clearing the fields of Zhang Zhang?"
Zeng Gong nodded: "As you expected, the big landlords took action."
Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "Have you taken it?"
Zeng Gong nodded and handed over the manuscript. Ouyang Bian gave it to Zhao Xu in half. The two of them looked down.
Zeng Gong looked at the two.
Ouyang Bian looked calm, but Zhao Xu gritted his teeth: "Bastard, these bastards have not taken enough advantage. They actually slandered that clearing the land of Zhangzhang is a disaster for the country and the people. It is the so-called battle between officials and the people for profit. It is really a bastard!"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's expected."
Zhao Xu glanced at Ouyang Bian and said, "As expected? Don't these people know what shamelessness means!"
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "It's true. The food class has always been so shameless. The garbage will never enter the garbage dump of history by itself, but someone needs to do the cleaning work.
Don’t think that they can realize this by themselves. If they had such enlightenment, the world would have been peaceful long ago. How could they need any wise and holy kings?"
Zhao Xu took a deep breath: "What should I do now? Took out these shameless literati?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and shook his head: "These are just guns that have been used by others. It is the main thing to dig out the people behind them."
Zhao Xu nodded: "Can you leave this to the Imperial City Department to do. After digging it out, bring them to justice?"
Ouyang Bian still shook his head: "They are not considered illegal, and even if they are illegal, we cannot treat them like this."
Zeng Gongqi said: "Why is this?"
Ouyang Bian said patiently: "It is not a crime to criticize a suggestion, and the Song Dynasty did not be convicted for words."
"Then what's the point of looking at them?"
Zhao Xu's strange way.
Ouyang Bian smiled: "Of course, you can see clearly who is the friend and who is the enemy. If you find out who the enemy is, you can naturally prescribe the right medicine."
Zhao Xu sucked his hands and laughed: "Yes, when I find out who it is, I can check them and see what illegal behaviors they have. Just treat them."
Ouyang Bian said seriously: "Your Majesty cannot do this. If this is the case, there will inevitably be suspicion of being accused of being convicted. This time, we must face them with the hard steel."
Zhao Xu said in confusion: "You have always paid attention to strategies..."
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I am strategizing, so I have been planning from the beginning. We use the appeals of the local governments in the north to win over the three departments, and the Song Dynasty Weekly created public opinion to win over neutral people, find out who the enemy is, and finally form a general trend of attacking a small number of enemies.
But the purpose of attacking them was not just to find hidden land and increase the following taxes to the country. To be honest, that little tax was nothing. Although it was quite a lot, it was not very important to have much money in the Song Dynasty.
What I want is to truly establish majesty for Your Majesty through this matter, and this is the most important thing.
So, this time we have to be upright. We must advance the matter of clearing the fields and resisting, whether it is officials or landlords, as long as they dare to act in this matter, they must let them know what the wrath of the emperor is!"
Zhao Xu hesitated a little: "But the ancestor's law..."
Do you treat scholars well?
Ouyang Bian smiled coldly: "The state treats scholars and scholars well. He has given them a background in scientific research and salary to support their families. The state has raised scholars for a hundred years, and it is not for them to poach the country's fences.
Your Majesty must draw a red line for the people of the world. The country treats scholars well, but scholars cannot make profits for themselves by harming the country. This is true for all citizens."
Zhao Xu thought for a while, and finally nodded and sighed: "You are right. If this continues, the rich will be in the mountains and the poor will not have a place to stand. If a natural disaster occurs, the dynasty will perish. I will still know this lesson."
Zeng Gong said: "Then this time, how should we choose articles to publish them? Will we not publish all the objections?"
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "No, choose the one that is best written, and then ask someone to write it, criticize it one by one, reveal their sinister intentions, so that people all over the world can see their ugly faces clearly, and make them rats crossing the street.
Senior brother, this time your task is to analyze the benefits of checking the fields clearly for the people of the world, and to analyze the disadvantages of hidden fields clearly, so that everyone in the world knows that clearing the fields is politically correct, and anyone who obstructs them is a thief and a borer!"
Zeng Gong was a little scared: "I'm afraid this is..."
Ouyang Bian's voice was cold: "I'm afraid that someone wouldn't see clearly, so he plunged in and buried him for burial?"
Zeng Gong remained silent.
Ouyang Bian laughed and said, "Senior Brother, do you know that the biggest evil in the world is not bad, but stupidity.
The greatest evil in this world is often rampant with good names.
The biggest accomplices of evil people are often those "good people" who do not need to make any actual contribution to the "goodness" they claim.
If someone is still talking to these borers at this time, he will either be bad, stupid, or bad and stupid. Anyway, there is nothing to forgive. Just be buried with him, there is nothing to be pitiful."
Zeng Gong nodded.
Ouyang Bian looked at Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, when the public opinion is built, it will be time for policy to be formed, but we should do some things first."
Zhao Xu nodded: "You said."
Ouyang Bian said: "Invite the central bank to implement the northern investment strategy, His Majesty can do it in one sentence. The central bank enters the north to build a cement official road and set up a service area. In this process, we will understand the local situation and prepare for the future inspection of the fields."
Zhao Xu nodded. This is what is appropriate in the title, so there is no need to say much.
Ouyang Bian's voice became solemn.
"... In addition, Your Majesty should start putting people in the bag. This time, many local officials will inevitably be involved in the field. When these officials are cleaned up, Your Majesty will also insert people into it, so that the control over the local area will be enhanced..."
Zhao Xu became more and more shocked the more he heard it.
His initial compliment was gone, and Ouyang Bian showed him what it means to take three steps, or even ten steps.
When he only saw public opinion, Ouyang Bian had already turned to how to manipulate public opinion.
When he kept up with the pace, Ouyang Bian was already thinking about how to execute things.
When he was thinking about the execution, Ouyang Bian had already helped him plan how to expand the team!
At this moment, Zhao Xu was a little scared.
