    An error occurred while processing private documents. Li Fu passed away suddenly, which dealt a heavy blow to Guan Xue, which was facing a split.  The leader of a school of thought has fallen.  However, this school has just emerged and has not yet established a solid foundation. You can imagine the great blow this incident has had on Guan Xue.  Li Hu's response was extremely quick. He first presented Li Fu with a title in the name of the emperor, and then rushed to Taixue in person and clearly told the Confucian scholars that the official status of Guanxue was unshakable, but if Confucianism wanted to develop, it had to stand out from the crowd.  No, we must take the path of a hundred schools of thought contending, so that Confucianism can develop faster and better and contribute to the revitalization of China.  Li Hu's words stabilized the mood of the Confucian scholars, and at the same time he lost no time in introducing Jin studies to Chang'an.  Jin Xue came from the north, and Li Hu also came from the north. Jin Xue was obviously more in line with Li Hu's interests and needs. If the two were combined, it would have a fatal impact on Guan Xue, so the great scholar of Guan Xue immediately responded.  , the two divided factions came together again, jointly discussed a development direction for Guanxue, and reported it to Li Hu in a timely manner.  Li Hu rushed to Taixue again and convened the great scholars of Guanxue for several days of discussion. The key point was that the essence of Guanxue must conform to the overall strategy of reform.  For example, focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce, advocating the basic and suppressing the weak must be changed. Since ancient times, agriculture has been the foundation and commerce has been the last. But now the situation has changed. As the contradiction between population and land becomes more and more prominent, the population engaged in industry and commerce is becoming more and more important.  With more and more businesses, it is obvious that commerce has gradually become the main industry. The ideological concepts of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and advocating the basic and suppressing the inferior must be changed. The people of the world must gradually realize that commerce is also the main industry, and commerce and commerce are the main industry.  Agriculture is also an important pillar in ensuring the stability and development of China.  In mid-October, Taixue set off a heated discussion, that is, the status of commerce in the kingdom's economy. This issue led to the issue of land and population, and then a more acute issue emerged, that is, the issue of private ownership of land.  The problem of private land ownership has its roots, and the root cause is the economic policy of "not inhibiting annexation and laissez-faire." If development is carried out according to this basic national policy, then private ownership of land cannot be changed, and the problem of land annexation will become more and more prominent.  Is land annexation a good thing or a bad thing for the country¡¯s stability and development?  History shows that this is a bad thing.  However, the real problem is that with the improvement of farming level, water conservancy and irrigation facilities have been improved.  Food production was increasing and meeting the needs of the Middle-earth population.  It is precisely because of the development of agriculture and the increase in food production that the prosperity of commerce is possible. So, with the development of history to this day, is land annexation still the biggest root cause of the collapse of the country?  Judging from the fact that the Song Dynasty suddenly collapsed during its heyday, land annexation is no longer or is not the most direct and serious reason for the sudden collapse of the Song Dynasty.  As a result, the direction of the debate gradually changed to insisting on private ownership of land. Then, under the deliberate guidance of some ministers such as Li Hu and Changsun Kangning, the privatization of official land immediately became the focus of the discussion.  Official land is publicly owned by the government and is the source of the government's daily expenses and official salaries. It does not need to pay land rent, and other taxes are passed on by the government to the farm laborers who rent the land. However, in actual operations, not all government expenses are paid by the government.  In terms of land revenue and expenditure, the court had to allocate part of it, and the local government had to withhold part of the taxes paid to the national treasury. In addition, the local government had to collect a variety of local taxes with a wide variety of names.  It is clear to whose pocket the income from official land ends up. Everyone knows that the income from official land is squandered by bureaucrats, and official land has become an inexhaustible treasury for bureaucrats to openly commit corruption.  Discussions about Chang'an Imperial College quickly spread to the Imperial College, to schools, private academies and schools all over the country. Soon, a huge wave of corruption targeted the bureaucratic class was formed. The bureaucratic class became the collapse of the Song Dynasty and the collapse of the Song Dynasty.  The main culprit of the war in China and the mainland, and the memorials and remonstrances requesting the imperial court to privatize official fields flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.  The bureaucracy is in panic, the central government office in Chang'an is even more distressed, and a group of ministers are at a loss what to do. They don't know how to suppress the anti-corruption wave launched by Confucian scholars and students from all over the country.  = On this day, the eldest son Kangning hurried to the Han Palace and reported to Li Hu the status of tax collection this autumn.  "The situation is worse than we expected." Changsun Kangning looked solemn, "Due to the growing wave of anti-corruption in various places, people's hatred of the government has become more and more serious, which has made it difficult to collect taxes in many places. The situation is very serious.  ." Li Hu smiled and didn't care.  "Commander, once this matter starts, it will be difficult to end it smoothly." Changsun Kangning said cautiously with fear on his face, "In my opinion, enough is enough." "Enough is enough?" Li Hu laughed, "  You have good intentions and intend to stop in moderation, but some people would rather be in Middle-earth.He is not willing to lose his own interests if he falls into the hands of the captives.  Not only are they unwilling to stop when enough is enough, but they also want to add fuel to the flames, right?  " "I told you a long time ago that once this thing starts, it will be difficult to control.  Changsun Kangning looked embarrassed, "You and I both know that there are people who want the place to fall into chaos so as to blackmail you and fight against you."  The bad local situation today is directly related to Chang'an's connivance and the local government's fueling the flames.  Do you really want to wait until the people rebel?  " "The weather is getting colder, but people are getting more and more angry. This is a good thing.  Li Hu smiled and said, "It's good to rebel. I'm waiting for someone to rebel against me now."  " Changsun Kangning stared at Li Hu dumbfounded, secretly horrified. This incident was planned by Li Hu. Its purpose was to expose the root cause of corruption in the government. First, it aroused the anger of the Confucian scholars all over the world, and then this anger would spread  But the bureaucracy misjudged the situation and thought it could use this crisis to threaten Li Hu. Unexpectedly, he fell into Li Hu's trap and was ready to eat people. "  Commander, at this critical moment, what China needs is stability. Only stability can reverse the situation, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.  "Changsun Kangning couldn't bear it any longer, and he bowed and begged, "Commander, you once said that change cannot be achieved in a year or two, but requires the efforts of several generations.  We are just getting started, and the top priority is to unify China.  Rather than overthrowing the bureaucracy in Middle-earth.  " "If I don't defeat them, do you think I can unify China?"  "Li Hu shook his head and asked with a smile. Changsun Kangning couldn't help but shudder. He smelled a strong smell of blood. Li Hu is indeed a real butcher. If he wants to kill someone, he will never kill one or two people.  It¡¯s tens of thousands. ¡°How is the military supplies for the Northern Expedition going?  "Li Hu changed the topic. "Basically, it's almost the same.  "Elder Sun Kangning replied, "The autumn harvest is over and the money and grain are in storage. With the prosperity of the southeast, it will definitely not be a problem to provide about 50 million guan of military supplies for the Northern Expedition.  " Li Hu nodded slightly, "Wu Chongtian has not yet calmed down the Guangnan and Guangnan forces. It is estimated that this battle will be postponed until next year. You must first ensure his military supplies.  " "The Southeast rebels fled to Guangnan West Road. The terrain there is complex and it is indeed difficult to fight.  Changsun Kangning suggested, "If the time is right, let's send someone to surrender."  Then he looked bitter and brought the topic to the local situation, "Commander, the local situation is tense. If it continues to develop like this, it is estimated that by the beginning of next spring, things will get out of hand."  If the Khitans are defeated in the north at that time, we will have to launch the Northern Expedition, and the situation will be very unfavorable to us.  " "What's the disadvantage?  "Li Hu sneered and said, "I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Daibei, Hedong, Central Plains and Shandong. As long as you give me money and food, I can fight however I want.  As for the local rebellion, as long as I kill the culprit and calm the public's anger, that will be fine.  " Li Hu said it easily, but the eldest son Kangning broke into a cold sweat. "Commander, in my opinion" "I asked you to draw up a plan for the privatization of official land, have you completed it?  "Li Hu interrupted Changsun Kangning's persuasion and asked coldly. "All this Li Hu has done is to privatize official land. Once official land is privatized, the monetization of government expenditures and official salaries can be smoothly implemented.  At the same time, we can also use this matter to severely attack the old bureaucratic forces in China. If we hit them hard enough, we can basically defeat the old bureaucratic forces in China.  It can be presented immediately.  " "Then go and get busy.  "Li Hu said, "You must pay attention to safety recently, be vigilant at all times, and don't be careless. If something happens to you at this time, I will be the one who takes the fatal blow.  " Changsun Kangning wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thanked him repeatedly. = It was November in the blink of an eye, and bad news finally came from Datong. The coalition forces of the Khitans and the Tibetan people in the desert were defeated, and the most serious losses were among them.  The divination blockers. Dong Xiaoxiu, Luo Qinghan, Hou Gai, and Zhe Keqiu from the Privy Council rushed to the Han Palace to report the matter to Li Hu. ¡°According to the information Tie Shuai received, the Khitans are retreating deep into the desert and are expected to go there.  Canton City.  Dong Xiujiao raised his head and looked at Li Hu, "The commander-in-chief's guess seems to be correct. The Khitan people's goal is indeed not to go to Beijing, but to the city of Ketun."  " "Is there any news about secret peace talks between the Khitans and the Jurchens?  "Li Hu asked. "No, but according to Tie Shuai, although the Khitan coalition forces were defeated in this battle, the Khitan people suffered almost no losses, while the Zubu people were severely beaten by the Jin army and suffered heavy losses. In this way,  The Khitans can completely establish a foothold in the desert, maintain their alliance with the desert, and quickly increase their strength.  "Dong Xiaoxiu continued, "The development of the situation is very similar to the commander's previous guess.  " Li Hu thought about it for a moment, then turned to ask Luo Qinghan, "Has the secret negotiation between Tieshuai and Wanyan Gao produced any results?  " "There has been no result.  "Luo Qinghan said with a smile, "But this time Zong Han defeated the Khitan coalition forces at the Lightning River, stabilized the situation in the north, and regained control of the initiative in the entire war. I think Huanglong Mansion will change its strategy in China.  " "The Jurchens may not be willing to fight.  Hou Gai said with a smile, "After all, maintaining the confrontation between the two powers temporarily can help the Khitans stabilize the desert, which is beneficial to Huanglong Mansion."  " "The Jurchens are not willing to fight, but I want to fight.  "Li Hu said, "The Khitan people have limited strength, and this time they secretly plotted against the divination people. They cannot stabilize the desert at all. When the desert becomes chaotic, the Jurchens' opportunity will come.  I will never give the Jurchens any chance to unify the north.  "
