Cao Bin saw very clearly, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, if so many soldiers and horses were in the mercenary guard, let alone the emperor, even the adults below would have trouble sleeping, so Cao Wei would no longer be able to control the mercenary guard in the future.

"Yes, the mercenary guards are getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people, and in the future, there will even be more officers and soldiers than our Ming Dynasty, such a huge force, except for Your Majesty, who can control it? Who cares?

Now the thousands of households that are making noise below will be in charge of the mercenary guards in different prefectures and counties in the future, Your Majesty will not care about trivial matters on weekdays, so the mercenary guards in the future will not be anyone's word, if there is anything that needs them to make up their minds together.

It's a very simple method, the minority obeys the majority, just like the imperial cabinet, as long as the two cabinet elders agree on something, they can ask Your Majesty to be popular in the world, I am just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and using a dozen people to decide one thing, so that the probability of doing things right is greater, even if it is really wrong in the end, they should bear the mistake together. ”

"The minority obeys the ...... of the majority"

Cao Bin chewed this sentence slowly, looked up at Cao Wei after a while, and said seriously: "My lord has an opinion on the cabinet?" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Wei had no scruples, and said bluntly: "The three elders decided most of the decrees of the Ming Dynasty, this will not work, the decrees of a country should not only be decided by one, two or three people, everyone has different concerns and thoughts, so everyone sits down and talks together, in order to find the best and most comprehensive solution."

Which one of the high-ranking officials is a stupid person, and when the court makes decisions, the three dukes, six ministries and nine secretaries express their opinions, don't you think it will be better? Of course, it's not the best situation......"

Cao Bin couldn't help but ask, "What do you think is the best situation for adults?" ”

"Cao Bin, you have also read the book of sages, what did you read in the books of sages?" Without waiting for Cao Bin to answer, Cao Wei continued: "You have read the truth, the law, and even the aspirations of life, but have you read the way of doing business? Did you read the way of craftsmanship? Have you read the way of agriculture?

To put it mildly, you just read a "shi". ”

Cao Wei was expressionless and said: "The officials of the imperial court just read out a "scholar", but the world is not just the world of scholars, let some people who only know "scholars" manage the whole world, how can this work?"

is like a scholar who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, studied poetry and books for more than ten years, and finally won the jinshi and became a county magistrate, so what will he do? ”

Cao Wei seemed to be asking, and it was like talking to himself, trying to find the answer from his heart.

“…… He won't do anything, because he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, so he doesn't dare, because the more he does, the more he makes mistakes, what do you think, if a businessman comes to him to discuss the way of doing business and enriching the people? He will drive this merchant out of the yamen, because he is a scholar, how can a scholar speak business?

What would an old farmer do if he told him that the rice fields in the county that had been planted for so many years were more suitable for growing corn? He would laugh at this as nonsense, because there was no such thing in the sages he had read.

So the biggest possibility is what this county was like ten years ago, and what it will still be like ten years later, how many officials like us in the Ming Dynasty......

Later, he was promoted to an official and entered the court step by step, a sentence can form a decree, and a deed can change the lives of the people, what will happen to him? He will become more cautious and less daring to act rashly.

Maybe not all scholars are like this, maybe there are really a few scholars who have real talent and know how to govern the place, but after all, they are very few.

Today's imperial examination is the imperial examination of scholars, not the imperial examination of the whole world, so the person who is an official is the parent official of the scholar, not the parent official of the world. ”

Cao Bin's face was complicated, and he said slowly: "My lord, you are a little rebellious!" ”

"Great rebellion...... Perhaps. However, if the world's peasants and industrialists each do their own thing, make the best use of their materials, and make the best use of their talents, will this world be better...... Back then, I wrote to His Majesty that this was the intention of setting up a merchant official, and I don't know if there will be any changes in this world in the future. ”

Cao Wei smiled lightly and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the mercenary guard." If there is a mercenary yamen in the future, who do you say are the people who employ these veterans? ”

Cao Bin thought for a moment and said, "Shang Jia." ”

"Yes, it's really businessmen, firstly, they have money and can afford to hire them, and secondly, they are in business and need guards.

Shangjia is the most timid group of people, but also the most daring group of people, bold or timid depends on the amount of profit. With 20 percent of the profits, they will be active, with 50 percent of the profits they will take risks, with 10 percent of the profits they will dare to trample on all laws, and with three times the profits, they will dare to risk killing their heads.

Do you think that after we return to the imperial court, the looting of the Wa Kingdom will not be leaked out? Look at it, it's impossible, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, so many treasures flow out, as long as you have the heart to check, you can always find out, once the news leaks out, and there are veterans of a hundred battles in the mercenary guard who can be hired, what do you think will be the consequences? ”

The corners of Cao Bin's mouth twitched twice, and he said, "I'm afraid those small countries won't be peaceful anymore...... Your Excellency, you did this on purpose! ”

Cao Bin asked, but his tone did not mean to ask, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, I do intend to do that."

Cao Wei put up two fingers and said with a smile: "Two reasons, first, the Song Dynasty's rouge was too strong, and it was finally trampled by the grassland iron horse, and now the Ming Dynasty looks like a weak and pretty widow who can be bullied, and the border soldiers have not fought for a long time." Therefore, I want to add some sword and soldier spirit to our Ming Dynasty, firstly, to establish a martial style, and secondly, to train soldiers for the imperial court.

Second, I want to gather the wealth of the world. The world is very big, by no means the people of the Ming Dynasty know this bit of territory, every place has gold and silver treasures, if I don't take it, I will be damned...... You know, I'm here for the good of Da Ming.

Why are corrupt officials greedy for money, a large part of the corrupt officials don't really like silver so much, but because the court's money is really not enough to support such a big family, a Zhengqipin Zhixian county is only twenty taels a month, is it enough for him to buy rouge for his mother-in-law?

When the court has money, I will ask Your Majesty to increase the amount of money for hundreds of officials, so that the corruption of the court will drop down a lot...... I don't know, but I'll have to give it a try. ”

Cao Wei paused and said, "Do you know why I call myself "me" instead of "this official" tonight? Because at the moment I'm just talking to my friends as a friend, these words ...... I can't do it really, it just so happens that we are high enough now, and the wind is strong enough, and the wind will disappear as soon as we say it. ”

"But I remembered it in my head and engraved it in my heart......"

Cao Bin no longer called himself a "subordinate", he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What the adults said tonight is really shocking, I can't forget it, in the future, if you don't have me by your side, will you not be used to it?"

So I think it's better to stay with adults all the time, and I'll do whatever they want. "I want to talk about "Daming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
