Chinese? The first ancestor of humanity? Regulus?

The officials looked at each other, and more importantly, the person who gave His Majesty the Emperor the law turned out to be the ancestor of China?

Now, the origin of the immortals is known, but everyone is interested in the so-called Huaxia.

Yang Mu is naturally very happy, as a Chinese, he is certainly happy to see his country's culture revered.

And he deeply understands a truth, if a country wants to be strong, it must be supported by advanced cultural heritage, also known as soft power, otherwise, it will easily be run over by the rolling wheels of historical progress, ruthlessly abandoned, like a flash in the pan.

This can be seen in the thousands of Chinese history, Yi, Di, Rong, Man, Hu, etc., are all ethnic groups born almost at the same time as China, but because of the lack of a strong and vibrant cultural heritage, they are finally lost in the long river of history.

For example, the Xiongnu, Turkic and Xianbei all rose and fell in a hundred years, either directly declining and perishing, or gradually assimilated by powerful and advanced civilizations and slowly died out.

And to evolve a civilization with vitality and tension, it takes a long time to accumulate, and you can't go astray halfway, obviously, Cangguo can't wait for that day, even if it is derived, is it possible to take the exploitation of the people as a core value?

What about the eight honors and eight shames I want? What about the core values of socialism? Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, self-improvement, unity of knowledge and action, loyalty and patriotism......

Therefore, it is very necessary to build a strong and vibrant culture for this country where culture and beliefs are lacking!

Yang Mu asked Shen An to bring a pen and paper, write down these terms, as well as some descriptions and mysteries about Huaxia, and handed them over to the officials for circulation.

After a while, all the officials also nodded, and after deliberation, it was decided to build a Yellow Emperor temple in the imperial city to accept the respect and sacrifice of all the people.

As for the promotion of Chinese culture, Yang Mu did not mention it for the time being, this is not an overnight thing, first of all, let them see the benefits of this culture and get vital benefits, and then let them take the initiative to accept it.

Moreover, he also understands that the thoughts of the officials now are not in the matter of immortals at all, but - the distribution of benefits!

This time, the army led by Zheng Kang had 20,000 people, and 15,000 people were captured, which were all real young and strong laborers, as well as those weapons and horses and chariots, but they were all valuable things.

How to divide it?

The most important thing is that more than half of the officials defected yesterday, that is to say, more than half of the official positions were vacant, which is a big cake!

For a time, the people's hearts were enthusiastic, and they all reported to them, among them, the officials of the six major families were full of righteous indignation, demanding that the captives be reduced to slaves, and together with the captured booty, they would be distributed to the major families, saying that it was used to make up for everyone's losses, and if they did not do so, it would be difficult to calm the people's grievances.

Yang Mu muttered secretly in his heart, what did you big families lose in this war? Is it a loss of a mule or a horse? Or was the yellow flower girl in the family ruined by the soldiers?

No! None of them! On the contrary, it was the soldiers at the bottom who fought bloodily to achieve this great victory.

The so-called public grievances are just an excuse, and under such a distribution method, the people and soldiers will not get any benefit at all.

On the contrary, the officials will dig into the corners of the country in such a righteous and awe-like way, as if it should be like this.

Of course, Yang Mu would not agree, but he couldn't refute it immediately.

This is related to the current national conditions of Cangguo, the upper-class nobles are born extraordinary, and the ordinary people are as cheap as earth dogs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat.

Among the upper-class aristocracy, there are six major families, namely the Fan family, the Tian family, the Shangguan family, the Zhang family, the Chen family and the Wang family.

Even if he is not afraid of them stumbling and rebelling, the emperor still has to rely on them to govern the country, after all, there are only two or three thousand literate people in the whole country, without the assistance of these families, the government cannot operate at all, even if it supports a poor person, it will soon develop into another gate, and it will not be able to break the status quo.

Only by effectively imitating the Sui and Tang dynasties, vigorously developing folk education, cultivating scholars from poor families, and implementing the imperial examination system, can we sweep away the gate-valve atmosphere of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and fundamentally disintegrate the foundation of the family.

Yang Musi thought about the strategy to break the situation, and he found that from beginning to end, no official jumped out to say about those traitors, and immediately a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he understood the secret.

So, he cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the outcome of the battle involves a wide range of things, and I will discuss it with the ministers for some time before making plans." As the saying goes, national politics cannot be wasted in a day, how should we deal with the many missing official positions? ”

"I can't wait, I'm willing to share your Majesty's worries!"

"Zuo Xiang and the others, they were confused for a while, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."

"Now is the time to employ people, the surrender of the ministers is excusable, it is not to preserve the strength and save my Dacang Kingdom in another way, and please Your Majesty to be clear!"

"The matter of official positions is naturally lived by those who are capable, and traitors who defect to the enemy should be punished with death!"

The ministers played one after another, some pleaded for those officials, some demanded severe punishment, and some even demanded differential treatment, defending some of them, gossiping, and the whole court was in chaos.

Yang Mu smiled secretly, this is the effect he wants, those with vested interests, families with many traitors, of course, want to forgive and maintain their vested advantages, while those weak families want to severely punish this part of the officials and replace them with their own people, as an opportunity to shuffle the cards.

"Silence!" At the critical moment, Wei Zhongquan stood up.

All the officials have silenced, and now Wei Zhong has all the military power in his hands, and his power is like the sky, and he is alone, only loyal to the emperor, and has won the trust of His Majesty, so no one dares to offend.

"Your Majesty, the old minister advises that all those rebellious ministers will be executed, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to complain!" Wei Zhong held the wat board with both hands and said respectfully.

Is it difficult for people to complain?

The officials were speechless, isn't this just an excuse for themselves and others just now?

What is this, learn and use?

Yang Mu was overjoyed, and silently praised the old general in his heart, this sentence didn't matter, but it muddied the water and found a justifiable excuse for him to deal with the official problem.

In fact, Yang Mu didn't care about the life or death of those traitors, because even if they were all killed, what would they do? Rearranging a bunch of people from a big family into it is just putting eggs from one basket to another, what he wants is compromise, what he wants is cooperation, what he wants is reform!

And those traitors are bargaining chips, just like Zheng Kang, they are very happy to exchange their official positions and a little profit for a chance to live.
