On the matter of electing officials by the people, Liu Zongzhou's "convincing theory" is based on the analysis of historical development, and the reason is that a manager first needs people to be convinced of him, and only when people are convinced of you can you manage it handy. With the development of society, the scope of this kind of convincing has expanded more and more, at the beginning only a few people recognized, and later it needs the approval of the majority, and now Liu Zongzhou believes that the appointment of an official needs the approval of the vast majority of people.

It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, a general of a vassal state fought with others, lost the battle and abandoned his armor and ran back, but fortunately, the king did not blame him for letting him supervise people to repair the city wall, which means that if we can't beat it, we will defend it. It is said that a person like him who has suffered a defeat should go home and reflect on it, and at least hold an analysis meeting to make a deep review, who knows that he will start to show off his power in front of the people with a bulging belly. Everyone must not be convinced by this kind of person who is a bad breed on the outside and a good man on the inside, so he sang a sarcastic satire on him, and after listening to it, he actually responded shamelessly that it was not a loss if the person returned, and everyone sang that the man came back, but the cowhide that made the armor did not come back.

I don't know if this is the origin of comparing people to bragging, but it can be seen that a long, long time ago, whether the people were convinced of an official was an important factor, and if you couldn't convince people, the people would coax you to step down.

Because the apocalypse has already decided that it is imperative to elect officials, Xu Guangqi also expressed his agreement with the pilot election of elected officials, and he drew the conclusion from comparing other things. Xu Guangqi first started with the management of the river, he said that many rivers in the Ming Dynasty have to be repaired every few years, this is because the river water is constantly scouring the river, so that the river slowly produces hidden dangers and becomes less and less solid. In the same way, the goods, personnel and other things in people's lives are also constantly flowing, and there will also be many small problems and hidden dangers, if these small problems are not dealt with in time, they will slowly accumulate into big problems, and finally accumulate and cause great disasters to the country.

In order to make the Ming Dynasty peaceful and peaceful, it is not necessary to whitewash the peace on the surface, but to know and deal with the things that the people need and care about the most in a timely manner. Only when this official is elected by the people, will he spend some effort to understand what the people need, even if he has to save face, otherwise the people will not choose him again. Only when officials are concerned about the needs of the people and deal with the problems that arise in a timely manner can the country achieve real stability, because if small problems can be solved in a timely manner, there will be no major problems.

Here Xu Guangqi gave two examples, one is the early years of Wanli, when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant to implement a lot of strict systems for officials, although many officials were dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng, but the people got benefits, and the people's loyalty to the country was very high. It is said that at that time, there was a demon who came out to confuse the people and wanted to rebel, but the people spontaneously organized people to tie up this demon road, first killed a black dog and splashed him with blood, and then carried him to the government with a long wooden stick to punish the crime, which shows that the people are very satisfied with the status quo and do not like people to engage in sabotage activities.

But in the last years of Wanli, there is a demon in Shandong called Xu Hongru, after 20 years of preparation to use the "smelling incense teaching" to confuse people's hearts, in the early years of the apocalypse, the response reached more than 100,000 people, it can be said that a hundred responses, although the situation finally calmed down but it is worth thinking about. The conclusion is that the social contradictions intensified in the last years of Wanli, the people's dissatisfaction was not resolved in time, and the things that harmed the interests of the people became more and more intense, and the people's response to the thieves was because of these reasons.

The ancients said that the wind was born in the earth and started at the end of the green apples, and when it gathered, it could form a huge storm, and Mount Tai looked like it was going to be blown down. Xu Guangqi meant that by comparing the two things that deceived the people at the beginning of Wanli and the end of Wanli, he believed that the reasonable needs of the people should be met in a timely manner, and only the officials elected by the people could do this.

If Xu Guangqi's words are so much, it can be seen that he and Liu Zongzhou's opinions are the same, they are both in favor of being elected officials and they are very reasonable, but one is a longitudinal comparison from the perspective of historical development, and the other is a metaphor for other things. However, Xu Guangqi raised another question below, that is, what method should be used by elected officials, and if the method is incorrect, problems will likely arise. At the earliest, the imperial court elected senior officials such as the first assistant monk and the monk, and adopted the method of minority obeying the majority to carry out court promotion, but Xu Guangqi believed that the way of minority obeying the majority was not necessarily good.

Xu Guangqi said that in such matters as cultivating crop seedlings and manufacturing guns, many effective and reasonable proposals were not put forward by the majority of the people, and some of them were opposed by the majority, but it was later proved that what the minority agreed with was not necessarily wrong, and what the majority opposed was not necessarily wrong. The characteristics and principles of all things in heaven and earth are similar, and if the minority obeys the majority in the matter of elected officials, the elected officials may not be able to do their jobs well. Xu Guangqi's words confuse people, are you in favor or against? If the election method does not use the method of minority obeying the majority, is there any other way that cannot be achieved?

After listening to it, Tianqi nodded and said: "At the beginning, Lord Liu said that the main meaning of what Lord Liu said was that the officials needed the people to be convinced, and Lord Xu's main meaning was that the people needed officials to be close to the people. It can be seen that it is reasonable and timely to elect officials, and it is not too early or too late to start the pilot. However, Lord Xu raised the issue of the selection method, that is, the original way of the minority obeying the majority may not be good, because the officials elected in that way may not be competent, what do you think? ”

Listening to the words of the Apocalypse, King Xin smiled first, according to the arrangement of the Apocalypse, the matter of the elected officials needs to be taken slowly, and if they are in a hurry, they will not be able to reach it quickly, just like if you were going to eat stew, you take it to fry, not to mention that it is not easy to cook, and the taste is much worse. If Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi have the same opinion, the king of faith will not be easy to sing, and it will definitely be tiring for one person to wrestle with two people. Now Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi's opinions have similarities and differences, and King Xin thinks that it is the best result, and he only needs to play a good game of four or two thousand catties.

Because it was Xu Guangqi's question, and he didn't write anything better in the recital, Tianqi looked at Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong.

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that four years ago, when the emperor had just established the Holy Academy, he discussed one thing with the minister, that is, whether an idea could be announced to the outside world at will, and the conclusion at that time was that what the majority of people agreed with was not necessarily correct, but what the minority agreed with definitely could not be implemented. Because only a few people agree with the things are either wrong, or although they are correct but not understood by everyone, it is an anachronistic idea and practice, even if the opinions agreed by the minority are correct, they must be publicized first, and then implemented after getting the approval of the majority is a safe policy. ”

Tianqi let out a sigh of relief after listening to Liu Zongzhou's words and said: "It's been four years, time is still passing really fast, the minority obeys the majority This method is flawed but must also be used, only a few links need to be added to make up for it, as for which links to add, it is still not good to say, and then it will be improved as appropriate when it is actually used." ”

Gao Panlong, who was on the side, saw that Tianqi looked at him, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liu and Xu are right, and even more thinks that what the emperor said is good to practice first and then add links as appropriate to make up for the perfect method, and the minister himself has no good way, but he can combine everyone's methods to make a plan." At first, the minister accidentally saw the smile on the face of the king of letters, presumably the king of letters had a wonderful idea, it is better to ask the king of letters to talk about it, and when the king of letters finished speaking, the minister can go to formulate a pilot method. ”

King Xin was surprised by Gao Panlong's eyes, he just smiled and let him find out, it seems that this person's eyesight is really powerful. Of course, Apocalypse knew what King Shin was laughing at, but he couldn't say it, so he asked, "What did King Shin think of so happy?" ”

King Xin coughed lightly and said: "The younger brother listened to Lord Xu's recital, and found that Lord Xu liked to use analogies to illustrate the problem, so he smiled in his heart, and now he seems to admire Lord Gao even more, his eyes are so powerful that he can see it really." ”

Apocalypse asked, "Do you have any opinions?" After saying that, he blinked.

King Xin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood that the apocalypse was for him to tell the plan of the two, so he said: "The imperial brother began to say that he would implement it first and then make up for it in the future, and the younger brother thought it was very reasonable, and the younger brother also remembered one thing, that is, the purpose of letting Liu and Xu write their opinions first was to persuade the ministers of the court and the central government, whether we can divide the labor among the ministers." Elected officials are a new thing, and those who are resistant to the DPRK and China officials are persuaded by Liu Zongzhou and Liu to let them know that this is a good thing; There are people who are anxious to achieve it overnight, and Lord Xu will persuade them to tell them that things must be done slowly. ”

Tianqi asked: "Master Gao has made a plan for Lord Xu and Lord Liu to persuade people, what are you going to do?" ”

King Xin said: "The two kinds of people that the courtier said at the beginning are a minority, and most of them are people who have a wait-and-see attitude, and the younger brother will come to deal with these people, so that they can finally write about each other." But there is one more thing that the elder brother should do, that is, Gao Daren should do one more thing, that is, to engage in propaganda, at the beginning Lord Liu said that even if it is the right thing, it needs to be approved by the majority of the people through propaganda, how can it be approved by the majority of people without publicity? ”

Tianqi nodded when he heard it and said: "King Xin's suggestion is good, there are many idlers in Donglin Academy, and it is easy for people to make trouble when they are idle, so let them do something practical." ”

Gao Panlong didn't excuse himself when he heard this, and asked, "May I ask the emperor, what is the main content of this propaganda?" You can't just say that it doesn't have a central meaning, right? ”

Tianqi thought for a while and asked Gao Panlong: "It's difficult to answer your words, but I can answer it, before answering your question, I would like to ask you to answer a question from Master Gao, I heard that the proposal of choosing the first assistant was first proposed by the people of your Donglin Academy, will you finally propose to elect the emperor?" ”

When Gao Panlong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" ”

Apocalypse continued to ask, "Don't you dare or do you think it's wrong?" ”^-^^-^
