Zhao Kuo has never regretted it so much.

He regretted very much why he slept in class back then.

He remembered several official positions, including the three princes and nine ministers, the three provinces and six ministries and the like, but he only knew that the three princes referred to the prime minister, the imperial historian and the captain, but he didn't know the specific division of the nine qing, and the three provinces and six departments, he knew what the ministry of officials, the household department and the like, but he forgot the three provinces, the province under the door... What else? Zhao Kuo frowned, meditated hard, but still didn't come up with it, even if he came up with a name, it was useless, he forgot their role.

However, if it is under the prime minister, the establishment of six ministries seems to be more advanced than the current official system? After all, the later six departments, households, criminals, soldiers, rites, workers, and officials almost summarized the most important aspects of a country, compared to the original official positions in Zhao now, I don't know how many times better, Zhao domestic, Sikou is equivalent to the criminal department, Sikong in the city is equivalent to a small ministry, and the internal history is quite with a part of the household department.

Except for the first time, the Minister of Remand is responsible.

Why are the nations afraid of Fan Ju? Not because of his insidiousness, but his talent in this area, he alone can handle the country's agricultural affairs, official governance, use of soldiers, household registration and other matters in an orderly manner, although Qin has the advantages of the system in these aspects, but to do a good job, it is not so simple, after Fan Ju became the prime minister, Qin continued to use troops abroad, but there are more and more household registrations in the country, the grain production of cultivated land does not decrease but increases, and the ordnance and equipment are becoming more and more sophisticated, which is the terrible thing about Fan Ju.

In this era, there are no so-called professional strategists, and today's ministers are the elite of the aristocracy, and their main job is to govern the country, rather than relying on any conspiracy to sabotage, and the same is true for Fan Ju, who formulated basic national policies for the Qin State and helped the King of Qin govern the Qin State, which is the reason why he was reused by the King of Qin.

But when Zhao Kuo told Pang Xuan his thoughts about the six parts, Pang Xuan asked with some surprise: "But Xinlingjun offended you?" ”

Zhao Kuo didn't understand very much, and Pang Xuan asked again: "You want to divide the country's major affairs into six departments for management, so what's the use of the prime minister?" ”

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before he said, "The six departments under the command of the Xiang... How could it not work? Pang Xuan didn't say anything more, he felt that Zhao Kuo's policy seemed to be more inclined to weaken the power of the prime minister, of course, the power of the prime minister would be divided equally, and more sages would be responsible for refining domestic political affairs, and the country could be better governed.

But the question is, in this way, the phase is seriously weakened, and the monarch can even directly intervene in various government affairs beyond the prime minister, which enhances the power of the monarch in disguise, so will he still respect his ministers?

Pang Xuan asked about the system of selecting officials, and Zhao Kuo said:

"Today's selection of officials is carried out through recommendations, schools, lobbying, recruitment, military merits, appointments and other methods, but these methods have not formed a unified system, and they are very scattered. Like the method of recommendation, the counties and counties everywhere will recommend people with morality, merit, and talent to the lieutenant and the king. If we can stereotype him, a city of 100,000 people, we must recommend three talents for Handan every year... Appointed by a lieutenant after investigation, the country will no longer lack a virtuous man who can be appointed. ”

"For the school, I think the Qin State is the best way, we can set up a school room in the Zhao State, invite famous scholars in the world, recruit children, and cultivate talents for the Zhao State."

"The method of lobbying cannot be finalized, but it can be combined with recruitment, and by the order of the king, invitations will be issued to those talents who are eager for fame, and after the lieutenant will probe them, they will be given official positions suitable for him, so as to attract more talents."

"The method of military merit can also be implemented in the Zhao State, and meritorious soldiers can be rewarded with official positions, such as county lieutenants and other places that need to be proficient in military affairs, and local officials with meritorious service must be promoted."

Zhao Kuo simply summarized the current selection system, and said: "No matter how to select officials, it takes a process of exploration, I heard that sycamore wood can not be used as firewood, but standing in the courtyard can attract phoenixes, for different sages, to be placed in the right position after the investigation, this is the principle of governing the country." What I want to tell you, that's it. ”

He stood up, thought about it seriously, wandered around Pang Xuan, and said as he walked: "Divide the country's political affairs into six departments, you can formulate the content of the assessment according to the method of the six departments, invite the sages, and the talents recommended by the various places, give them the problems faced by the six departments, let them write their own ideas, and the ministers will conduct the assessment, and divide them into the most suitable places for them in turn." ”

"However, the importance of the rule of officials is not only in the palace, but also in the city and countryside. I think that following the example of the Qin State, with the division of counties, counties, townships, and li, a clear local system was formulated, and the local officials were the closest to the people, and the most important thing in governing the country was to govern the people, and the people needed these low-level officials very much. ”

"For those low-level positions, other types of assessments can be carried out, for example, Mafu needs two small officials, so that Handan can be announced to the outside world, convene local interested officials, check their identities, and qualified people participate in the assessment, and the best two people can get these two vacant officials. The officials of Zhao State served by being close to the county commander, they were the diners of the county magistrate, and they were their distant relatives, and they did not know the truth of governing the place, and they were in the township. ”

"That's why the state of Zhao is getting weaker and the state of Qin is getting stronger."

Zhao Kuo became more and more excited, he walked around Pang Xuan, talking, his hands were constantly moving, he said angrily: "There is no outstanding morality, no talent to govern the country, and no merit, Zhao has such a jackal, how can it be strong?" How can the people be rich? How can those who do not know the farming of the mulberry gather the people to preach the doctrine of loyalty to them in the busy season of farming? ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the supervision of the officials, to find out those who have plagued the people, and to put them to death."

Han Fei in the distance was frantically recording Zhao Kuo's words, he seemed to be more excited than Zhao Kuo, with sparks flashing in his eyes, in contrast, Pang Xuan was dumbfounded and speechless, he thought that Zhao Kuo just wanted to innovate some outdated systems in Zhao, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo's meaning was to completely change all the systems of Zhao State, from the palace to the locality, from official rule to so-called supervision.

If what he says can be done, it seems that it is not inferior to the Shang Ying reform of the Qin State.

"After changing the rule of officials, everything else can also be changed, first of all, the law, the law of Zhao is too simple, I want to follow the law of Qin, and then reduce some of the heavier crimes, and refine the classification of the law. There is also a land system, Shang Ying allows private individuals to sell land, this practice will lead to the annexation of land, only the implementation of the national land public ownership system, so that the state-owned land can be used for a fee...", Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that he had said too much, so he hurriedly stopped.

The more Pang Xuan listened, the more pale his face became, and his whole body trembled.

"What do you think?" , Zhao Kuo asked.

Pang Xuan looked at him in horror, covered his head, and said tremblingly, "Please let me think again... I don't know what to say. ”

Pang Xuan still left, when he got into the carriage, he looked a little sluggish, Zhao Kuo respectfully sent the old man away, Han Fei stood behind Zhao Kuo, looking at Zhao Kuo's eyes full of fanaticism, Zhao Kuo turned around, was startled by Han Fei's appearance, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" Han Fei said excitedly: "Why are you. Why.. Do you want to promote the low-level officials? Officials come: . Come on.."

Han Fei was so excited that he was a little speechless.

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before he said: "I have heard that the prime ministers are all trained from the grassroots state departments, and the fierce generals are all beaten from the army ranks, I don't remember who said this, but I think this sentence is very reasonable." Han Fei nodded hurriedly and asked again: "Yes.. Yes.. Some people respect the political measures of Yao, Shun, Tang, and Wu, saying that the way of the saints should not be changed, you... You.. What do you think? ”

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "If someone still builds a nest on a tree in the summer, and drills wood to make a fire, he will definitely be killed, Yu smiled shamefully." If someone is doing their best to dredge the river, they will definitely be Shang Tang, King Wu of Zhou laughed shamefully. In this way, if anyone still praises the political measures of Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu, and Yu today, they will definitely be laughed at by the new sage. ”

Han Fei trembled, his eyes gradually became brighter, the little guy in his arms was almost thrown to the ground by him, he slammed the little guy to Zhao Kuo, rushed into the courtyard, picked up the pen, Zhao Kuo looked at him, and began to recall again, this sentence and the previous sentence, I seem to have read it in the same book, I think it makes sense, I am impressed, whose book is this? Why can't I remember?

Is it the Analects? Wrong.

Is that "Spring and Autumn"? It doesn't seem to be.

.........

At this moment, Fan Ju sat indifferently in the courtyard.

Today's attack on Bai Qi was not his temporary intention, but the order of King Qin, King Qin did not say it explicitly, but as the person who knew King Qin best, Fan Ju still saw King Qin's worries, King Qin suspected that Bai Qi deliberately lost to Zhao Kuo in order to survive. If Bai Qi really failed, then it would prove that Bai Qi had different intentions, or rather, he began to worry that he would be eliminated by King Qin.

King Qin can distrust Bai Qi and dispose of him, and Bai Qi can't distrust King Qin and think that he wants to get rid of himself, this is the truth in the palace.

It is not difficult to get rid of Bai Qi. Without the Tiger Talisman, Bai Qi has no way to mobilize the army, not to mention that Bai Qi has never raised diners, and there are no followers around him, as long as King Qin's order can kill him, but the problem is that King Qin can't kill him innocently. Qin has always been very eager for talents, starting from Qin Xiaogong, Qin has been looking at the Central Plains, hoping that there will be capable people to come to Qin.

But Qin is too poor, many sages were moved by Qin Gong's sincerity and came to Qin State, but they couldn't stand the poverty here, Qin Xiaogong took out his most precious treasures, horses, and money to give to these sages, but although Qin Xiaogong took out everything, it was still not enough, most of them sighed and left. The kings of Qin in the past dynasties, like King Zhao, were eager to get more talents.

The son of the groom was so poor that he did not dare to drive away a single virtuous man.

Therefore, under the premise of no legitimate reason, the king of Qin cannot directly kill Bai Qi, which will make more virtuous people look at the Qin State and stop at it, the funeral incident of the Qin State that year made the virtuous people dare not come, so many years, except for a Xunzi, there is not even a single academic person who is willing to come to Qin to play.

Fan Ju was thinking about it, and suddenly, a warrior came and handed him the bamboo slip in his hand, saying, "Report from Zhao State. ”

Fan Ju lowered his head, opened the bamboo slip casually, and looked at the line absentmindedly, suddenly, he jumped up, grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand tightly, dumbfounded, he raised his head suddenly, and said, "Prepare clothes for me!" I'm going to see the King! ”

In the palace, King Qin looked at Fan Ju who was fidgeting in front of him, then looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, opened the bamboo slip with some confusion, and looked through it seriously.

Dong Chengzi asked the law, and Zi said: Those who make things use rulers to regulate tools, and those who govern people rule the country by law. It is the outward manifestation of the ruler and the inhuman meaning. Martingale legislation, the ruler of Qin is also obvious, so the martingale is dead and the Qin law exists, only the law is the rule, so it is not destroyed. Dong Chengzi asked the law, and the son said: The ruler is fixed, and the law is solid. Regulate words and deeds, standards of things, martingale to strong to strong, weak. Weak to strong, strong. The law follows the herd, the state is strong, and the law can be ......"

The more King Qin read it, the more excited he became, and after he finished reading the entire dialogue, even his breathing became short.

"It's... Who is this? The widow will send men... No, the widow is to go and invite him himself. The King of Qin raised his head suddenly, the root of the law may not be valued in all countries, but in the Qin State, in the Qin State where the law is the foundation, it is shocking to see such an incisive explanation of the law and the principle of explaining the law, the King of Qin almost lost his temper, he looked at Fan Ju in front of him excitedly, and the Qin State found another Shang Ying?

Fan Ju was also very excited, he hammered his thigh, and said, "This is what Ma Fujun of Zhao State said. ”

"Zhao... Ma Fujun said. King Qin gritted his teeth, stared at the bamboo slip in his hand, and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "The widow wants to exchange Shangdang County for Ma Fujun of Zhao State, what do you think?" ”

Fan Ju shook his head and said with some bitterness: "With King Zhao's person, he will not change, even if you threaten with strong force, I am afraid that he will not agree." King Qin stood up extremely angrily and said: "Zhao Dan is a mediocre person, there are sages by his side, but he doesn't know how to use them, how can a person like this have a sage like Ma Fujun to assist him?!" ”

Fan Ju lowered his head, suddenly remembered something, and said: "I heard that he took in a disciple and taught him knowledge, he must have passed on his knowledge of the law to his disciples, I can send someone to inquire about his disciples... However, if you want to let Ma Fujun enter Qin... I'm afraid it's a difficult thing, I've heard that Gongzi Yiren and Ma Fujun have a close relationship, and the two have been friends for many years...."

"Let him hurry up and meet the widow!"
