Chapter 68: The New Deal
The Honorable is an attempt at political reform that threatens to be interrupted at the beginning. In the original depiction, these people would replace the incompetent and elegant magnates. It's just that considering the origins of the honored scholars, such a political reform is just a group of nobles replacing another group of nobles, and there are very few ordinary people like Chen Ji and Chen Ao.
Now, the power of the people will be introduced into the political arena, which is known as the foreign system. This foreign dynasty system is not only different from the long-standing Yan dynasty system, but also different from the foreign dynasty system that has occurred in the past and has been recorded in historical books. The previous foreign dynasty was nothing more than a broad consultation on major national affairs, involving three forces: the aristocracy, the hundred officials, and the countrymen, while the new foreign dynasty system is the three forces of the witches, the nobles, and the countrymen.
The hundred officials are thus divided into two kinds, one is the technical bureaucrats, such as Gongyin, Yuyin, Sihui, historians, engineers, iron officials, Jiyin, and large and small officers; The other is government officials, such as doctors, county yin, and yi yin. Technocrats don't have to be involved in politics unless politics involves their own nature; Officials in government affairs do not have the right to participate in political affairs, because their positions are the focus of political controversy. Who is an official, who is not an official, and what is the performance of the official are all issues that need to be debated every time a foreign court is convened.
To put it simply, this is similar to the Estates-General, where hundreds of officials seem to be expelled from the political arena, but in fact, most of them are originally nobles; And the witches, taking into account the traditions of the Chu, Yi, and Yue people, were included in the foreign dynasty system. The power of faith should not be underestimated, and the common people firmly believe in ghosts and gods, and it is extremely unwise for the soldiers before the war to ask for something that 'a hundred soldiers are not going to do anything', and it is extremely unwise to exclude this force; the people of the country have begun to have the power to ask questions, participate in decision-making, and supervise from the previous decoration of only answering yes or no.
The implementation of the new foreign dynasty system will naturally affect the Zheng dynasty system and the Yan dynasty system. There will be a great turnover of more than 700 courtiers in the Zheng Dynasty, and at least half of the nobles will lose their original position in the court, thus giving way to the witches and the countrymen; Because of the leniency of the Yan Dynasty, many times it was dissatisfied, so there was no problem of losing its position, but the court discussion should become complicated because of this, and even held for a long time.
In addition to the changes brought about by the new foreign system, the advent of paper and printing will lead to the creation of universal education and newspapers. Education does not need to be profound, but its content and education methods are very exquisite, and there are two most difficult points: First, how to write a national history?
Since the countries under the rule are allowed to restore the country, the history of the country is naturally no longer the history of the Chu State, but the history of the Lu State, the history of the Yue State, the history of the Wu State, the history of the Song State, etc., etc., the countries have attacked each other before, and the Wu State has also occupied the Yingdu of the Chu State, and these attack histories cannot be concealed, after all, some deeds are the proud things of their own people, such as Wu Shi entering Ying, Gou Jian destroying Wu, but if it is written, it may have to provoke hatred between each other.
The second is education itself. Since it is already a country, and since it is necessary to cultivate the national spirit of each country, then the country must no longer speak the elegant language, but must speak its own dialect instead. The Chu people speak the Chu language, the Yue people speak the Yue language, the Song people speak the Yin language, and the Yi people speak the Yi language, these languages have existed a thousand years ago and have been passed down to this day. It's just that there are so many teachers who speak the local dialect? Even among the local scholars, most of them spoke in Yayan, and it was a very challenging thing for them to teach in tongues.
It is not difficult to divide several countries from a complete Chu state, and the counties of Chu have always been governed by rules, but they have only moved the original princes away. After the restoration of the country, it is enough to put on the things that have been taken and remove the county officials. But to turn an aristocratic state into a nation-state is an incomparably complex matter. In particular, the teaching force is extremely insufficient, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn the muddy common people into enthusiastic middle two angry youths within ten years, but only the second middle two angry youths are the most combative.
After the 10-day banquet and even after the 10-day banquet, the Yan Dynasty continued to discuss the new foreign dynasty system and universal education. The new foreign dynasty system will inevitably arouse the general opposition of the aristocracy, especially the opposition of the county yin and the yi yin, but their opposition does not have much power, because the people of the country are the beneficiaries of the reform, and the witches are also the beneficiaries of the reform.
From a more selfish point of view, whether it is from the reality that is about to happen—the reality of the Qin army's attack on Chu ten years later, or the reality of promising countries to restore the country in fifteen years, these places are all land to be lost, and the power struggle that occurs in these lands is not directly related to the Chu people. If it's something that is meant to be lost, why bother desperately opposing it? The country of Lu is the country of Lu of the people of Lu, what does it have to do with the people of Chu?
As for Dazai Shen Yinyu's suggestion that the countries might make peace with Qin, even Zimo, who had a similar position to him, objected. Not to mention that the military power is in the hands of the Chu people, even if these countries are occupied by the Qin army, the new foreign dynasties at the local level will still form a new center of resistance - the Qin state of the county system has only one center, if this center is destroyed, then the whole country will be paralyzed, and the Chu state of the aristocratic system and the countries under the new foreign dynasty system have many small centers, even if the country is destroyed, only there are still nobles, representatives of the countrymen, and witches, then they can regroup and organize for a new resistance.
Organization is the root of combat effectiveness. The unorganized scattered people were very, very easy to conquer, so easy that the Manchu people, who were less than a million men, women, and children, could easily conquer the Ming Dynasty, which had a population of tens of millions. Religion is indeed the opium of the bourgeoisie that anesthetizes the people, but religion is the last organization of the people. In the face of foreign invasion, Stalin had to release the Orthodox priests imprisoned in prison and open all churches and monasteries that had long been banned by the government; As for the post-war ban, it also proves that religion is an effective opponent of the state apparatus, and that bureaucratic organizations are inherently hostile to all organizations except themselves.
Spring seemed to be colder than winter, and in the early morning of the day before, Xiong Jing felt cold as soon as he entered the court, even if the charcoal fire in the court was burning all night.
"Greetings to the king." Nao Cun, Zhao Huang and others had been waiting in the Zhongting Court for a long time, and they didn't go home last night.
"Are you alright?" In order to maintain secrecy, the ministers drafted their own agreed political agendas and did not rely on the clerical officials they usually relied on.
"Alright." Nao, who was about to take up the post of Ling Yin, replied slyly, and he immediately presented the documents that had been written overnight.
"That's all?" Xiong Jing saw that there were only a few words on the document, except for the words of literary ornamentation, what was really useful was: "Chaoguo people", "heavy literature and education", and "worship ghosts and gods". Turning to the second page, I saw the specific content of the 'Korean people', that is, how to convene foreign courts, how to elect Chinese people, how to conduct court meetings, how to implement the results of court meetings, and so on.
In order to show the political correctness of the 'Chaoguo people', the history of the 'Chaoguo people' is mentioned at the beginning: before the Zhou dynasty moved eastward, all countries, regardless of size, summoned the people of the country to discuss, and before the Zhou dynasty negotiated on behalf of the people, the various ethnic groups called the people to discuss. It's just that after the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, there were fewer and fewer 'people in the court' in various countries, and the Zheng Dynasty was not a place to discuss matters, just to look at the court, and the Yan Dynasty, 'the Yan Dynasty Dynasty discussed only three or five people, etc., bullying the monarch and recklessly, sometimes seeing the insights, chaotic government and disaster to the country, endlessly. Now the king pursues the ancestors and follows the ancestral system, so he will go to the people of the country to determine the national government and the ...... of the dynasty."
Zi Mo's articles are no worse than Song Yu, Song Yu is good at poetry, Zi Mo is because he is Zhen Yin, he is going to be a needle against the evils of the times, and his words and writings are mostly involved in politics, and the articles he writes are particularly enjoyable to read, and they are also sonorous and powerful.
Xiong Jing nodded, Zi Mo smiled on his face, and said: "If someone criticizes the new policy is discussed by the three or five people of the Yan Dynasty, and it is a policy to disrupt the country, the king can answer or a policy to disrupt the country, but in order to avoid another policy of disrupting the country, it is necessary for the people of the court to discuss state affairs in the future; If someone says that it is inappropriate for the people of the dynasty to discuss state affairs, it is very likely to delay the military aircraft, and the king can answer that the matter of the military aircraft will be set for another wartime Yan Dynasty, and this Yan Dynasty will be selected by the people of the dynasty......"
The details of the new policy have been discussed by many important ministers for more than a month, and the promise of restoring the country must be cautious and cautious, at least, and should not be promised too much until the public opinion of various places is fully understood. The popularization of culture and education and the popularization of sacred worship also need to be prepared, and it is impossible to achieve them overnight, and these two can only be gradually implemented after the people of the dynasty. Xiong Jing had understood several of the issues that Zi Mo reminded him before, and some of them were even his ideas, such as the wartime Yan Dynasty system.
The outline of the new policy is not long, and it should be written as easy to understand as possible, because this outline is to be stamped with the jade seal of the king and posted in the large and small counties of the country after the temple meeting.
"That's it." Xiong Jing nodded to Chang Jiang. The prepared seal of the king of Chu was presented, the seal was made of bronze, passed down by the king of Chu in the past dynasties, and if the gold inscription on it was not indicated, Xiong Jing did not know it. The seal was squarely stamped on the paperwork, page after page, and when it was finished, Xiong Jing put down the seal and instructed Chang Jiang: "Send it, print a thousand copies." ”
"Yui!" Chang Jiang naturally knew where this document weighing more than a thousand jun was delivered, and he hurriedly walked out of the hall with the document in his hand.
"The king has an order, and a thousand copies of the document will be printed." The documents were sent out of the road gate to a certain treasury on the side of Ling Yin's mansion, which was the newly established palace printing office. The engineer who had been waiting for this document for a long time hurriedly took it after saluting, and then someone searched for the word by word. The movable type found is placed into a rectangular clip, and after a line of words is found, the clip is clamped, and then loaded on the cylindrical printing plate of the printing press; If there is a space on a line, fill in the prepared blanks to form a line.
There are large and small movable types, and the font cylinder of the size of the book can be discharged horizontally, that is, five clips; Vertically, the entire cylinder can be discharged with 60 clips, minus the margins of each page, which is equal to 6 pages, and the entire cylinder rotates around to be 30 pages.
