Isn't that an exaggeration?
"Well, that's enough. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)" Li Qi smiled, and quickly changed the topic: "Although this is not what I taught, it is more or less related to me, in fact, the method of Qi Niang has already appeared, but it has not been paid attention to by the imperial court." Let's take the production of redundant officials as an example, when I came to the capital, the first batch of displaced people I rescued was completed together with Qi Niang. ā
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "I still remember this, Xiaoyu and they are from these refugees. ā
"It's good that the emperor remembers." Li Qi said: "At that time, because there was a war in the north, many people could only flee to the south, but the number was not very large, and the imperial court was not able to help this group of displaced people at that time, so they were not accepted into the military camp. After many days, people like Xiaoyu, Tian Carpenter and others have become well-known people, and there are many people who have achieved success in other fields, which is a good proof that the treatment of homeless people is not only to send them to the barracks, as long as reasonable guidance and guidance, then not only can they be self-reliant, not to increase the burden on the court, but also to create a lot of wealth. Qi Niang has witnessed this qiÄ with her own eyes and watched the transformation of the displaced people one by one, so it is not surprising that she proposed to use production to eliminate redundant soldiers. ā
Zhao Kai snorted and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, what about the election system?" ā
Li Qi said: "Actually, I just proposed this construction, and the rest were arranged by Qin Hui, Zheng Yi and Qi Niang, and she naturally knew it very well." In fact, Qi Niang has been doing business with me before, and in ordinary conversations, I have more or less talked about some things in this regard, such as production, but what I said is only a few words. But she wrote it down very well, and used it for state affairs, which is very valuable, presumably she has also made a lot of efforts for this, and it can be said that it is out of the blue, in my previous idea, is to guide officials for business, in order to reduce personnel, but I did not expect that the root of redundant officials comes from scientific research. No matter how hard I try, this time the scientific examination will be in vain, so it can be seen that Qi Niang's construction is better than me. ā
In fact, Li Qi can't be blamed for this, after all, he is an outsider and is not familiar with many aspects, and in this regard, Bai Qiannuo has an innate advantage. But then again, if Li Qiti had reformed the scientific expedition, I am afraid that he would have been divided the next day.
Li Qi sighed again and said, "Your Majesty." Even if Qi Niang doesn't say anything, just one stop in this hall, how much pressure it will have, you can imagine. Others can be wrong. She can't be wrong, others are faultless is meritorious, but she is reactive and meritorious. Then she will have to sweat more, so I am not surprised that she can do this, and the suspicion that you and others have about her is a kind of harm to her. ā
Zhao Kai was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm just asking, okay, even if this matter is wrong, I shouldn't doubt my courtiers." But is that all right? I'd love to hear from you. ā
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "This can't be said to be wrong, but this is easy to say, but it is very difficult to operate, just say that the use of land tax to prevent land annexation, this is indeed a good way, if the operation is good, the imperial court will be profitable, calmly regulate the land." But how to set the tax on the field, that is a very difficult thing, the imperial court originally intended to regard the tax as a mediation macro policy, not a means for the landlords, but as long as there is the slightest deviation in the setting, then it may cause great harm to a certain party, in this regard, we must survey the distribution of land in the country, for example, how many landlords have 100 acres, how many landlords have 200 acres, and they are concentrated in that area, and how much land farmers own, What is the proportion, if these numbers can be counted, then the incremental tax can be calculated according to these numbers, in short, the tax must be based on a complete and accurate set of numbers. ā
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you think the electoral system is really feasible?" ā
Li Qi said: "As mentioned earlier, the phenomenon of redundant officials mainly comes from scientific examinations, but scientific examinations are always orthodox, I do not build yƬ to make heavy changes, and the scientific examination itself is not wrong, the fault is the unscrupulous recruitment of the imperial court, and it also contains a lot of favoritism, which is unfair to some poor children, the imperial court attaches importance to scientific research, not necessarily to recruit many people, that is, to pay attention, but to be fair, just, open, but to do these three things, how easy to say, The imperial court can only try to limit it, and it is impossible to put an end to this phenomenon.
In addition, it is to use an auxiliary means to make up for the shortcomings of scientific research, the electoral system is a very good auxiliary means, it can allow more poor children to enter the official career, and the electoral system is completely open, which can gain the trust of the people, but the electoral system has a fatal drawback, that is, damage to the imperial power. ā
Zhao Kai nodded and said very bluntly: "This is also what I am more worried about, if the officials are elected by the people, then it will be difficult for me to get the support of those officials." ā
The imperial examination can be said to be the emperor's gift to the people, but also the emperor to harvest the hearts of the people's a great weapon, if it is changed to an election, then the imperial power will definitely be weakened, this is a very simple truth, Bai Qiannuo is too biased towards the people, this is in the feudal society, but no, any courtier when thinking about something, the first thing that comes to mind must be the emperor, without touching the emperor's taboo on the basis, you can think further.
Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, loyal to the monarch will always be put in front, this is the truth.
Li Qi said: "So Weichen does not use this election method in the capital or some heavy cities, but the imperial court can use it in some remote areas and small counties, especially in some places that have always been relatively poor, to put it bluntly, it is a broken jar, since the officials sent by the imperial court cannot benefit the local people, why not try another method, those scholars who fail to make the list also have one more choice, and some talents, he is not good at the exam, but it does not mean that he is not good at being an official, By the time these elected officials came up, they had made good achievements in the local area. The imperial court can transfer them to Beijing, which also provides an additional way for the imperial court to select talents, and more importantly, it also reflects the emperor's longen, which has well maintained the imperial power, and has been counted in one fell swoop.
However, I still suggest that once the election is adopted, the imperial court should send people from the capital to investigate, these officials do not have the right to decide, they are only responsible for supervision. Because most of the people know relatively little and don't know how to ask, they are easily deceived, and many scholars copy all the theories, taking the theories in the book, and the people can't understand them, these officials can ask questions on behalf of the people in response to local government affairs, and force the people participating in the election to use more practical persuasion. And with an operable plan, to impress the people, in this way, also let the emperor have absolute control over the electoral system. ā
"Listen to you. Now I feel that this electoral system is really promising, and it can be a good auxiliary to the imperial examination, and once it is reformed, it will be reformed. The scholars of the world will be dissatisfied, and this electoral system may be a good way to appease them. The more Zhao Kai thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and said with a smile: "As for whether it will work or not." You have to see it to know that now is a good opportunity, there are a lot of vacancies in many places, you can choose a few suitable places, try this electoral system, but before that, you have to come up with a more perfect electoral system for me. ā
"Since this was proposed by Qi Niang, let her complete it, if the emperor thinks something is wrong, let's discuss it secretly." Li Qi said.
Zhao Kai said unhappily: "This national event, how can it be that you are here, you will become more like a thief, and you will discuss it secretly." But don't think of me so badly, I know how to do it. ā
Li Qi said this, nothing more than not wanting to rob Bai Qiannuo of the credit, because Bai Qiannuo is now too desperate to need everyone's affirmation, so Li Qi didn't even dare to disturb her.
Li Qi smiled: "The emperor is sage." ā
Zhao Kai shook his head helplessly, and asked again: "What about the matter of absorbing talents from other countries?" ā
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me at all, it was completely up to Qi Niang and she came up with it herself, and I almost injured my own people by mistake."
"Accidentally injuring your own people? Where does this begin? ā
"Isn't it?"
Li Qi told Zhao Kai about his investigation of the Great Cannibal.
"I see." Zhao Kai said: "It seems that the White Lady has made enough preparations for today's early dynasty, those big cannibals brought a lot of money to my Great Song Dynasty, if their money can be used reasonably, it can indeed help us solve a lot of difficulties, for the revitalization of Tokyo's economy, there are great benefits, I can also accept them, but take the initiative to absorb talents from other countries, which is a bit unkind." ā
Li Qi said: "The emperor thinks that this will indeed make the surrounding countries feel disgusted with us, but we can passively absorb talents, just like the original Warring States Period, if the other party must come to us, or they are unwilling in their country, we can only reluctantly accept it, but don't want anyone, if it is the other party's generals and important ministers, then it must not be, unless it is a hostile faction, but rich businessmen or special skilled talents, this can be wanted, we can even set laws, As long as they can invest how much money they can invest in my Great Song Dynasty, we will give them the identity of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, money and technology are what I need most at the moment, and it will not cause major disputes, and I believe that the other party will not come to the door for one or two businessmen and craftsmen, and this matter is not easy to investigate. ā
"Or you have a way."
Zhao Kai laughed twice, he had already been led by Li Qi to the evil way, and he had almost forgotten all about the way of a gentleman, but then he had a blank face and said: "These opinions of yours are very important, why don't you say it, if I don't ask you, you probably won't say it, this is a national event, how can you be so childish." ā
Yikes! That's a lot to say. Li Qi knew that he couldn't hide, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, in fact, I don't say that there is a reason, I hope that from now on, the new law will be officially handed over to Qin Hui, Qi Niang, Zheng Yi and them to manage, not to mention anything else, this matter should have been managed by the prime minister, when did the emperor hear about the privy envoy to make any changes, and I can't take care of it alone, a country's economy, it is impossible to rely on a certain person to support it, the emperor should brainstorm and mobilize more people to participate, if I stand up again, So what's going on with them, you know, I'm born to be so aggressive, it's like I'm still in charge alone, it's the same as before, I think I should let them deal with it. It's not nice to say, these are the leftovers of my play, and I'll leave it to them to deal with, don't I have a more important task, and now I'm also putting my mind on that, that's the most critical place, once there is the slightest mistake, it may cause the most fatal blow to my Great Song. ā
He is obviously about to start delegating power, although he also held a lot of power in his hands before, but he was also subject to a lot of constraints. He can only mention yƬ, not make decisions, and now that he is in a different position, it can be said that he has the right to decide, if he still has a lot of power in his hands at this time, it is really not a wise choice.
Of course, Zhao Kai understood this, and said: "What you said also has some truth, I can promise you, but you must pay attention at all times." The only person I trust in the new law is you. ā
Li Qi hurriedly said: "This emperor, please rest assured, I know how to do this, put aside a qiÄ." Don't I have to take care of Qi Niang? ā
"You."
Zhao Kai was a little speechless to Li Qi, and dared to ask you to pay attention to your wife. "Well, since you are now all focused on the Privy Council, I would like to hear about your Privy Council's recent plans." ā
Li Qi said: "Your Majesty." Don't believe it, I had something to tell you today, but I was too nervous. So--that-I forgot about it. ā
Zhao Kai was surprised: "What are you nervous about?" ā
Li Qi said: "This is true, just Qi Niang said there, I am more nervous than her, if I say it, even if I say it wrong, the rest of the ministers just help me correct it, at most it is to ridicule two sentences, but if Qi Niang has half a mistake, then those ministers will definitely attack it in groups, stalking and fighting, the emperor should know, many people are actually against Qi Niang as an economic envoy, so Qi Niang can not make any mistakes, once she makes a mistake, it will be infinitely magnified, and now she is living a life of walking on thin ice, It's so pathetic. ā
Zhao Kai heard that he seemed to have something in his words, and said, "What do you want to say when you say so much?" ā
Li Qi smiled and said, "I just think that if I go on a business trip, the emperor will take care of Qi Niang in the court, don't let people bully her." ā
Zhao Kai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said: "You don't need to worry about this, as long as the white lady is dedicated to the country, even if there is a deviation, of course I will forgive him, I receive hundreds of cantals every day, among which the useful ones are Er'er, then I don't want to drive the rest of those people out of the government and the opposition." ā
"That's right."
"You'd better tell me about your Privy Council's plans."
"Oh."
Li Qi coughed lightly and said: "I always thought that this soldier could not be left unused for a long time, and they must be allowed to fight, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, in fact, fighting a war is the best way to train soldiers, so I don't want to stop, now Yue Fei and they are on the edge of the Yangtze River, I plan to simply Yue Fei to lead the troops to gather in Jiangnan and prepare to enter Dali." ā
"Dali?"
Li Qi snorted and said: "Dali's Gao clan has been uniting Jiaozhi against our Great Song Dynasty, often making some of the next three indiscriminate tactics to take advantage, if you don't get rid of it, I am afraid it will be a big disaster, but Duan Shi is towards our Great Song Dynasty, I plan to use the dispute between Duan Shi and Gao's family, send troops to Dali, and then provoke a war between Dali and Jiaozhi, and use this as an excuse to move the war against Jiaozhi, about this plan, I am already in preparation, and it will be presented to the emperor in two days, but the emperor, this is a secret, and it must not be leaked, otherwise it will be all over." ā
"I know." Zhao Kai frowned and said: "The problem is that the Western Xia and Goryeo sides have not yet been dealt with, so we will directly send troops to Dali, in case there is any mistake or omission, we may fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts." ā
Li Qi smiled: "I just said that I was prepared, and I didn't have to send troops immediately, besides, there is no letter from Dali, we can use joint means to stabilize the situation in the north, and the south is to directly use force to destroy them." ā
"But now that my Great Song Dynasty is in the period of recovery, if I move troops at this time, what will be the salary of the army?"
Li Qi said: "I have been prepared for this for a long time, and it doesn't take much money, I don't believe that the two countries of Dali and Jiaozhi can't support our tens of thousands of horses, and I will also write down the details in the plan." ā
Zhao Kai snorted and said, "Then how many soldiers and horses do you plan to send?" ā
"I plan to drop 30,000 horses from the forbidden army, and with the addition of the Fuzhou Navy, it will not exceed 50,000 horses."
"Such a little person?" Zhao Kai was surprised.
Li Qi said: "We are nominally helping people to quell the rebellion, then we are just assisting them, the main force is still the army under the Duan-style account, and when they are almost done, we can take action." ā
Zhao Kai was very excited when he heard this, and said, "I can't wait to see your plan now." ā
Li Qi said: "This is the game that we men play, let those be played by women." ā
Zhao Kai was stunned and said, "What are you talking about, this is a major national event, how can there be a distinction between men and women." ā
"What the emperor said is really good, there is no distinction between men and women in state affairs."
"You-this guy is so pervasive!"
"I'm sorry, it's all a professional habit."
