Chapter 110: Fortune and Fortune (Part II)
In the eyes of the nobles, because of Gao Gong's status, Gao Pragmatic really has nothing to help them do, and there is nothing to fear them, so they feel that Gao Pragmatic's conditions are the same as not mentioning, so easy that it even makes people feel that there is fraud in it.
However, in Gao Shishi's view, this is not the case, although this group of nobles has no hope of fighting at all, they are still an important part of the Ming power system. Although the noble forces have almost withdrawn from the center stage of power since the Civil Revolution, in fact, as part of the rest with the country, whether it is their political symbolism, the power they hold in the economy of the health center, or even the role they need to play in the future great reform envisaged by Gao Shishi, they need to be enveloped, transformed and guided.
In Gao Pragmatism's view, a country, in an era like the Ming Dynasty, must need the so-called elite, but Gao Pragmatism also requires that these elites must be elites in the true sense, not just waste sitting on the merit book of ancestors and eating empty salaries. Therefore, transformation and guidance are indispensable, and in the process of transformation and guidance, some people who cooperate well will become the new elite class and new nobles after the reform, and those who refuse to cooperate or cannot keep up with the team will be embarrassed......
Gao Gong's reform, in Gao Shi's pragmatic thinking, is only the precursor of the big reform in his plan, because Gao Gong is limited by the times, it is impossible to have too many changes to the roots of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Gao Gong's reform of the rule of officials, whether it is the four-servant system, the strengthening of the evaluation of officials, the increase in the appointment of people, etc., is a symptom in Gao Shishi's view, and even a symptom cannot be talked about, it can only be said to be tinkering. And what Gao Pragmatic wants to move in the future is to change the entire imperial examination system step by step!
The difficulty between the two cannot be calculated at all, as long as the former has enough power, the opposition will not be too great, after all, no matter how much it is changed, the essence of the imperial examination has not changed. The latter is different, one is not good, that is, he is ruined.
Because Gao Pragmatism can never tolerate the elite of the whole country to only learn "language" - of course, Confucianism cannot be said to be just a "language", at least philosophy or something must be added, but in terms of effect analogy, this is almost the case.
All the officials of the country are philosophers? Sounds so powerful, but what's the use of birds?
Gao Pragmatic, as a person who crossed through as a junior official at the grassroots level of the Red Dynasty, studied law at university and economics at party school - to be honest, this was also one of the most popular "configurations" at the time, so how could he think that only studying Confucianism could change the fate of China?
Not to mention the macro subjects such as law and economics, shouldn't we do more basic and specific mathematics? Don't you want to do physics? Don't even chemistry do it?
Not to mention that these have to be done, even accounting, Gao Pragmatic feels that it must be done - you look at the scum tax and financial system of Daming, which is so scummy that it makes people speechless, and the accounting system, audit system, etc. related to it are all so simple that they can't be more simple, or even not at all!
Otherwise, there can be a "unjust, false and wrongful case" like the Huizhou silk case, which has been wrong for nearly 200 years?
In such a situation, how to rebuild a new fiscal and taxation system? How to do a good job in the future advanced version of the city - customs? Even, how to determine how much tax should be paid in a certain area through various economic data?
To do these things, it is really not a high degree of pragmatism can be done, he needs talents, a large number of professional talents, can be explored as much as possible, there is no ability to excavate, try to cultivate!
Transforming a country is really not something that can be accomplished by developing a few weapons, training a few strong armies, or even building a few factories.
For example, if the party had not been strong enough to have the great cause of transforming the central government from a super-sized North Korea with almost bankrupt central finances to the world's second economy in three or four decades?
Is it the boiled seed oil that the West preaches all day long?
Obviously not, it's the right direction, strong organizational skills, and ...... A Chinese who are intelligent, hardworking and enduring.
Without the right direction, no matter how hard you work hard, it will be a detour; Without strong organizational skills, a decision will not be able to start work in the next ten years, and nothing can be done; There are no Chinese people who are smart, diligent and enduring...... I want to go myself.
Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now Gao Pragmatic is just the first step to envelop Xungui Group: interest bundling.
If in other words, that is: Gao pragmatic intends to fly with them.
After they experience the joy of flying, tell them step by step: We can fly more happily, do you want to come?
The soap factory can, other factories can do the same, and even in the future overseas trade, Gao Pragmatic will also fly with them......
One person can't save Daming, but one group, two groups, three groups......
The more people can share the benefits from the reform, there will naturally be hope for the reform. This is like a China that has just been reopened, there are still many people who can't turn their heads around, and they are entangled in "surname capital or surname society", 30 years or 40 years after the reopening, how many people are still entangled in this problem?
Why not dwell on it? Because the results are here, and everyone enjoys them—at most, there are more people, and some people have less.
This is the real successful reform! Even though there will be some problems and some pains in the process of reform, who dares to say that the general direction is not all the way for the better?
But the Red Dynasty was reopened, and with the old man of the Southern Tour in charge, no one could stir up any storms until they saw the phased results; How can Gao Pragmatism have such great prestige and strength now? So he can only guide his thinking step by step and bundle interests.
From the moment he chose to save Ming, he knew that it was a difficult road - not necessarily labor, but it must be laborious.
"Tell Wei Ximin to carry out the plan in the first bag."
Gao pragmatic sat in the study, originally practicing calligraphy, and after listening to Gao Mo's report, he just replied lightly, without even raising his eyelids.
Gao Mo has already seen his amazing ability, and there is no point in pretending to be a child's innocence in front of him, it is better to play the role of "prodigy", anyway, there are so many prodigies in Daming, and there are not many of them.
On the contrary, after Gao Mo left, Gao Pragmatic took out a bunch of keys, selected one of them, opened a small iron box under his desk, took out a stack of manuscripts and sketches, and muttered to himself.
"There is still half a month before I officially enter the palace to study, should I take the time to go to Jizhou? After all, it's better for me to leave this matter to anyone...... But is it appropriate for me to go to Jizhou to meet him? Will it lead to something unpleasant? ”
Gao pragmatic's eyes flickered slightly.
