第3章 晋太宗宣武帝实录3

    陈牧:寡人欲化育万民,当取何法,先生教我。

    萧凡:臣以为,教民亲爱,莫善于孝,教民礼顺,莫善于悌,移风易俗,莫善于乐,夫乐者,感人情,乐正则心正,乐yín则心yín也,安上治民,莫善于礼。上好礼,则臣民安,礼者,敬而已矣,敬,礼之本也。

    陈牧:先生之言甚善,寡人谨受教。

    陈牧:寡人欲以牛假贫民,使佃苑中,税其什之七,自有牛者税其五,先生以为如何?

    萧凡:臣以为,古者什一而税。天下之中正也,降及唐末、五代,仁政衰薄,假官田官牛者不过税其什六,自有牛者税其四,犹不取其七八也。

    陈牧:请为寡人试述之。

    萧凡:自唐末以来,海内板荡,高皇帝绥之以德,华夷之民,万里福辏,襁负而归之者,若赤子之归父母,是以户口十倍于旧,无用者什有三四,及大王掌晋,南摧强楚,东却齐、燕,北取契丹,拓地三千里,增民十万户,是宜悉罢苑囿以赋新民,无牛者官赐之牛,不当更收重税也。

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。

    萧凡:且以大王之民用大王之牛,牛非大王之有,将何在哉!如此,则戎旗南指之日,民谁不箪食壶浆以迎王师哉!

    陈牧:寡人几不思量,险误大事,当为卿改之。

    陈牧:寡人有气疾,欲修邺宫以自养,先生以为如何?

    萧凡:臣以为,大王既有平阳,又修邺宫,将以何用?作猎车千乘,环数千里以养禽兽,夺人妻女万余口以实后宫,岂圣帝明王之所为乎?

    陈牧:先生之言是也,寡人知过矣。
