Seeing that it was noon when he was talking, Tan Jing asked Tianqi where to eat, and Tianqi remembered that he had unconsciously talked all morning, so he ordered to eat here, let Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong eat together, and after eating, he summarized what he said in the morning, so as not to turn over the old account again. Since the tabloid incident occurred for more than half a month, Tianqi has been busy dealing with dissatisfaction from all over the place, frustrated officials, greedy merchants, ministers of the DPRK and China, and scholars who are dissatisfied with historical issues ‰ Remember the URL of this site:. Only when these people are done can we have time to talk about other things.

After a brief break after eating, Tianqi was ready to make a concluding speech, who knew that Liu Zongzhou had a new question.

After repeated deliberations and compromises between the three groups of people involved in the tabloid incident, it should be said that the dust has settled√ and the households have gone to the whole country to preach the new policy, abide by the agreement on capping profits, and at the same time be able to obtain shares from generation to generation, which can be said to be a great joy. The Donglin Party agreed to sit on a bench with the imperial court and work in one direction, and the advantage was that it could put forward opinions and suggestions on improper government affairs in the name of righteousness.

Only at first there were some small problems in the selection system of officials, and later, under the discussion of Tianqi and Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong, they came up with the idea of deciding people first and then deciding people. Moreover, according to Liu Zongzhou, he first used rough selection, and then excluded the emperor from the court push on the spot, and only let the emperor intervene when there were special circumstances and problems with the system, and usually drank tea or cared about military affairs on the side.

Apocalypse itself is lazy, as long as he sees what these departments are doing every few days to avoid losing control, so he wants to take the next step to turn the idea of determining people by things into a system. Who knew that before the apocalypse could say it, Liu Zongzhou asked first: "Your Majesty, I began to say that people are determined by facts, to ensure that the officials promoted by the court are competent, and to let them know what they should do, and to ensure that they make fewer mistakes or no mistakes." What methods should be used to ensure that the theories and experiences that come out of the sacred and doctoral colleges are correct? ”

Gao Panlong also said at this time: "Yes, to determine people by facts, this is the first thing to ensure that this thing is correct." Mencius said that there are no rules and no square circle, which is like drawing a square with a ruler and drawing a circle with a compass, first of all, we must ensure that the ruler is a straight compass can also be used. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "At the beginning, Lord Liu talked about Bai Juyi's poems, and in that poem, Bai Juyi also mentioned a method, that is, 'The jade test should be burned for three days, and the material must be identified for seven years. That is to say, it should be measured by time∞ and it is not good to think that it is not good to measure by time alone, who has so many free days or even years of ang fees to distinguish whether it is correct or not? For example, if a family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, will it take seven years to examine the daughter-in-law's character? I'm afraid no one wants to, and after seven years of impatience, the dolls have given birth to a bed. ”

Liu Zongzhou nodded and said, "The test of time is only one aspect, and other methods must be used." ”

Gao Panlong said: "The emperor began to say that the water is poured from a high place, and if nothing else, the water will definitely flow to a low place, this is the trend that the emperor said≌ In this way, it seems that the Holy Academy is already doing this business, but everyone doesn't realize it." ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said, "Yes, the old ministers in the Holy Academy have summed up the theory based on past experience, and if there is no accident, this theory is still valid, which is also a trend. But things are changing so fast that trends and times alone can't be sure. ”

Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing we have forgotten, and that is the purpose. When we want to do something, we must first know that this thing is not groundless, and there must be a certain reason why we will spend time on it. At the beginning, it was said that all officials were working for the people, but in fact, many times, as long as the people did not have an accident, I would not be worried, so the main focus was to do things for the people. ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "The emperor asked all state and county officials to report on the static conditions of the population, land, production, topography and landform of the land under their jurisdiction when they took office, and then let the Holy Academy and the Bo College make plans according to the static report and the dynamic report reflected in the grain depot. Now that I think about it, there are benefits to him, but it seems to be a bit taken for granted. We thought about things and made plans that seemed to be for the good of the people, and we thought they would accept them happily, but they didn't, because we didn't ask them what they liked and what they didn't like. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "Lord Liu is reasonable, it is my mistake to take it for granted, I have to find a way to make up for this mistake, only my feet know if the shoes are not suitable, I am a little overstepping." ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "This is also easy to do, so that local state and county officials also report the needs of the local people when they report the static status." People don't necessarily need the right things, but if they are met, they will be satisfied. The role of our holy colleges and the Liberal Arts College is to ensure that they are correct, to remove the fragrant flowers and poisonous herbs that the people do not recognize, and to leave the harmless and beneficial things to them to choose. From this, the third way to choose the right one is to determine whether the need is met. ”

Gao Panlong said: "With three means to ensure that the decision is correct, and then through the right thing to choose officials, anyway, whoever can be selected can be selected and appointed on the spot, so that the elected ** family is convinced and easy to do, coupled with the emperor's earliest use of age limit grade regulations, the minister thinks that in the future, there will not be many people who will be dissatisfied, and no one has expanding ambitions." ”

Tianqi smiled happily: "It seems that the old saying 'three stinkers make up a Zhuge Liang', this is really reasonable, after a while, we have found three ways to judge, the second is to judge according to the trend and summarize the theoretical experience, and the third is to see if the needs are met to determine whether there are other ways I don't know, you Holy Academy can find it and tell me later." Then it is decided, use three means to determine things to ensure that things are correct, use things to determine people to ensure that people can be competent and have no complaints, you consult with King Shin to turn this idea into a system as soon as possible. ”

Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong also showed joy on their faces, and the matter that they had been arguing for many days finally came to an end today, although it was reached in a compromise between everyone, but it also made the relationship between them closer. Especially the Donglin Party, which used to do something to hide, now sitting with the imperial court can finally show its talents in a bright and bright way, I believe that the founder of the Donglin Party, Gu Xiancheng, will be very happy to have this result.

Just when Tianqi thought that he was going to end the conversation, Liu Zongzhou asked again□ Zongzhou is a little nerdy if he is good at everything, if there is anything he doesn't understand, he must ask why, even Gao Panlong can't stand it, and he gave him a look again and again.

Fortunately, Liu Zongzhou was not so unreliable, he said: "The courtier knows that the emperor has worked hard today, and the courtier asks one last question, the emperor allows the military generals to be knighted and hereditary replacement, and allows the shares of merchants to be hereditary, but he also said that the Chinese courtiers in the emperor's heart should be closer." The courtier wanted to ask the emperor's heart, Chinese officials, military generals, and merchants, which should have a higher status? ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The Ming Dynasty has always used literature to control martial arts, and this is a historical problem, needless to say, but I think in my heart that the three are three indispensable groups with different division of labor. Wenchen set order, military generals maintain stability, businessmen seek development, only the three unite as one can the Ming Dynasty turn the crisis into safety, and it can be said that as long as everyone is united, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have the day when the country is rich and the people are strong. ”

Seeing that Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong were looking at him with a smile, as if saying that they were avoiding the important and light, Tianqi smiled and said: "If you really want to rank high and low between these three, I can't rank if I don't want to, because I think everyone is equal, ♀ not only limited to civil and military officials and businessmen, but also all the Ming people in the world." The reason why people are unequal is because they are born into different families, but all people, including me, should be equal, and everyone has only one head, two eyes and two hands, and it is also the duty of all of us to make everyone more and more equal. ”
