"Your envoy is in the State of Chu, how is his official position?" Yang Mu suddenly asked.

"This ...... The foreign minister, the Shaoqing of the Great Honglu Temple, is one of the five Shaoqing, and is ordered to envoy to the countries on weekdays. ”

"Tsk...... The emperor of Chu is really good, such a virtuous person was only given the position of Shaoqing, and he has to run around all the year round, and he is not afraid of bending to talent. ”

Qu Dan hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am full of talents in Chu, and foreign ministers in Chu are only Chinese people. ”

Yang Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your envoy doesn't have to be humble, I can still distinguish between mediocre and virtuous talents, then the emperor of Chu State does not hesitate to be talented, I am rare, if the noble envoy is in my Cangguo, there is a second-grade official, Liangtian Meiji, out of the prime minister, it is needless to say." ”

Second-grade officials?

Out of the prime minister?

Qu Dan was thrilled, and secretly a little happy, to be so praised and valued by the emperor of a country, and it was the praise of the emperor of Cangguo, who was extremely good in his own right, this honor is not for everyone.

He is young, and he also belongs to the category of young qualifications, although he is also a small nobleman, but in the bureaucratic atmosphere of Chu State, if he wants to climb one step higher, it will take ten years to do the least.

And to achieve the second-grade officials of Cangguo, that is, the level of the Shangshu of the Ministries, it is not a matter of seniority, even if the Zhengqing of the Dahonglu Temple, the status of the Chu State is not very high, although it is at the same level as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cangguo, but the right to speak in the court is very low, and many places have to be controlled by the noble gatekeepers.

If you go to Cangguo and become a second-grade official who has been granted real power, it will be a step to the sky!

In the future, there is no need to run around all the year round, nor do you have to suffer cold eyes in the DPRK and China, and there is no suppression from colleagues, and the career will be smooth.

But that's just a thought.

Parents, wives and children, family members, generations of savings, all want to transfer is an empty word, and in the current situation, Chu is stronger than Cangguo, and it is far safer to be immobile in this troubled world than in Cangguo, and he will not gamble with his life.

Besides, even if he has this heart, the Emperor of Cangguo will not agree, digging the corners of foreign envoys will not only be shamed by all countries, but will also make Chu and Cang give birth to mustard, Emperor Cangguo is a smart person, he will not even understand this, the reason why he says this is mostly a joke.

In a short period of time, Qu Dan thought a lot in his heart, and after a few moments of hesitation, he realized that the Emperor of Cangguo was still looking at him, and he was shocked.

"Can you think about it?" Yang Mu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is very grateful. It's just that this is a big deal, and the foreign minister is the minister of the Chu State, and please don't make fun of the foreign minister. Qu Dan said with a wry smile on his face.

Yang Mu nodded, clapped his hands and smiled: "It seems that your envoy not only has great talent, but also has a loyal and patriotic heart, but I am too abrupt." However, I can make a decision today, if the envoy is tired of staying in Chu in the future, he can come to my Cangguo, what I just said is still valid, and he will be treated with the courtesy of Mr. ”

"It is an honor to be appreciated by Your Majesty, and the ministers are terrified!" Qu Dan was a little excited, quite a bit of a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and flowing waters.

You know, the gentleman's gift and teaching the prince, either of which can only be done by a very human minister!

Seeing Qu Dan's reaction, Yang Mu sneered in his heart.

Talent is indeed a talent, but it has not yet reached the point where Cangguo is so eager for it.

Drawing such a large piece of cake is nothing more than wanting to bury a secret chess move in the Chu State, and if there is a need in the future, it may be able to be used.

"Hmm...... It's not too early, don't delay your envoy to return to the post house, let's talk about the things in this national book, why do you Chu State want to follow my Cangguo's school? ”

"It's not a secret, my Chu country has been a long-term evil, since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, he has been constrained by that gate valve everywhere, and only by introducing your country's school system and supporting the imperial power can we open up the situation." Qu Dan said truthfully.

"You Chu State, how should you implement it?" Yang Mu asked.

"The foreign minister really doesn't know this, with the eloquence of His Majesty the Emperor, I think I have already thought about it."

"You Chu State, how do you want Cang State to help?"

"Your Majesty, I ask your country to send a hundred teachers to the state of Chu to teach our country's experience."

"Mr. Teaching? What level? Yang Mu thought for a moment and asked.

"County school is enough."

"Huh...... Your country really has a big appetite, the world knows that the skills taught in the county school of my Cangguo are special, and your country is probably a little greedy and insufficient. Yang Mu smiled coldly and said: "If your country is sincere, my Cangguo can also send the teachers in the townships and towns to go over, and the teachers in the county school, my Cangguo is also in short supply now, but I can't." ”

Qu Dan showed a look of disappointment on his face, but the expected goal in his heart was also achieved.

Yang Mu secretly pondered in his heart, of course he knew the intentions of the Chu State, it was nothing more than to take some detours, at this point, in fact, the Cangguo could be regarded as a favor, after all, the opening of a school to teach and literacy is such a thing, and each country can organize its own manpower, and it is not the same as the need for the help of the Cangguo.

The most important thing in changing the law is whether the various policies can keep up with it, and what will happen to the opposition forces in the country, which is a big question.

If the emperor of Chu did not come up with any strange tricks and opened a school in Chu State, then there were two results waiting for him.

First, under the pressure of the domestic aristocracy, the school was abolished and all relevant policies were overturned.

Second, if you are isolated by the nobles and the gate lords, you will be forced to abdicate, and those noble gate lords will support a new emperor.

These two results are almost predictable, and such a thing as reforming and changing the law has been an extremely risky thing since ancient times, not only from the opposition forces, but also from the implementation effect, and once there is a deviation, it will cause serious consequences.

For example, Wang Anshi's reform of the Northern Song Dynasty had good intentions, but gradually deviated from the original track, causing the national strength of the Northern Song Dynasty to plummet, and the infamy of Jingkang's shame has been borne by him until modern historians raised different objections.

According to Yang Mu's knowledge, Chu is a country with very strong conservative forces, and there have been almost no major changes in the past hundred years.

If the change encounters resistance and the emperor of Chu does not adjust it in time, it is very likely that he will be abolished.

This point is also very likely, because in the history of the Chu State, there have been six examples of emperors being deposed, and it has been less than forty years since the last time, and if the emperor of the Chu State has an unstable foundation, it is very likely to be overturned.
