Chapter 153: Cohesion
() The Hall of Diligence is rarely used. According to Ye Tao, the Qinzheng Hall is very problematic in terms of functional positioning, neither does it have the wide space of the Yizheng Hall to accommodate the large number of people in the rì court, nor is it the kind of imperial study that the lord of the country uses for his own office and occasionally summons individual close ministers and celebrities to minimize the sense of alienation between each other in the form. Now, the function of the Qinzheng Hall is roughly the "Dongping National Zhèng Fǔ Yunzhou Special Project Team". The Yunzhou sand table in the camp of the Blood Lin Army was moved to the Qinzheng Palace, occupying about half of the area of the Qinzheng Palace, and a large number of documents related to Yunzhou, as well as all kinds of basic documents from Yunzhou handed over to Dongping by the Dai family, were also placed in the Qinzheng Palace, and a whole row of filing cabinets produced by IKEA belonging to Ye's workshop were set up against the wall. In the remaining space, there is a long table, around which are also IKEA chairs with leather backrests and cushions.
When Ye Tao entered the Qinzheng Palace, he couldn't help but laugh at the penetration of IKEA in the furniture field is so meticulous, but he didn't know that in addition to IKEA, other time-honored brands in furniture are also good at traditional furniture craftsmanship and design for home use, but for modern office furniture, they are by no means as familiar and understanding as IKEA, which is led by Ye Tao and the designer team. This kind of thing like purchasing furniture, Li Sishu, the general manager of Ouchi, handed it over to his righteous son Li Mian, and although Li Mian didn't want to be biased because of his good relationship with Ye Tao, except for IKEA, all other furniture stores have nothing to apply to...... Although this order may not be a big deal for IKEA, which is now in the middle of the money, and Ye's Workshop, whose business focus has shifted to a more far-reaching and broad field, IKEA's entry into the Qinzheng Palace still leaves an indelible impression on the hearts of many furniture manufacturers in Danyang.
Ye Tao, who had just entered the Qinzheng Palace, was the fourth seat on the right hand side of the lord. Due to the large amount of documents and materials required to arrange the affairs of Yunzhou, and the long time of each meeting, the meeting of the Qinzheng Palace is now quite similar to the modern meeting in Ye Tao's mind...... It's just that there is no computer, no projector, no PPT.
At this meeting, not only the ministers of Dongping were present, but also the two members of the Dai family: Dai Ye, whom Ye Tao already knew, and Dai Zhe, the general person in charge of the Dai family in Danyang, whom he had not yet met.
As an official who has just returned from the Yunzhou front. Ye Tao's statement on the current situation was taken very seriously by everyone, and some of the deployments that Ye Tao and the Blood Qi Army had made in the front were in line with the tribal policies that Ye Tao envisioned. Naturally, Ye Tao's practice of creating a fait accompli to pave the way for his own strategy was very disgusted by those officials who originally looked at him unpleasantly. The civil officials such as Pang Rongwei, a scholar of Yong'an Temple, raised two main questions: one was that the recognition of the identity equality of the tribes was not in line with tradition, and the promise of their political power and the right to distribute the spoils of future warfare was not in accordance with tradition. There has never been a precedent; On the other hand, such a large-scale adjustment of tribal policies, the formation of regular tribal cavalry, and the combination of many Yunzhou strategies that had already been decided, the financial pressure in a few years was too great for Dongping to afford.
"Then what else can I do to make the tribes feel like this. Under my Dongping, is it better than when the Dai family is in charge of Yunzhou? Since you said that the huge people are outsiders, they have always refused to accept the king and can only be lured by interests. What, then, is there a greater benefit than providing an environment conducive to the survival and development of the tribe? Ye Tao said, he looked at the two elders of the Dai family who were sitting on the side, and said, "It's not because the Dai family didn't fulfill their responsibilities. On the contrary, the Dai family has been making good use of Yunzhou's various resources during the years they have ruled Yunzhou. Treat all tribes and families in Yunzhou equally, and make unremitting efforts to ensure the safety and exhibition of Yunzhou. It is precisely because of this that the Dai family has always been respected and loved by the whole of Yunzhou, and only a small number of people chose to betray when Yunzhou was attacked on three sides this time. Most people are on the side of the Dai family. There are many things that the Dai family does not have the time, jīng power, and financial resources. There are no resources that can be applied to do it, and I have them. In fact, I paid very little, that is, in the first few years, to provide considerable security in the supply of tea, salt, grains and other crops as food and seeds. And these are things that I can easily do. As for changing the contemptuous title of the tribe on the official documents of the imperial court, isn't it the most basic respect for the people under my Dongping rule? ”
Ye Tao naturally didn't dare to imagine that in this era, there could really be any idealization of the people's existence, people's governance, and people's respect, even in the time and space he came from, this was just an idea. The Jīng British political model is still the mainstream in the world. But it would be nonsense to insist on calling the people under his rule by the contemptuous terms of barbarian, barbarian, savage, etc.
Pang Rong snorted coldly and said, "To put it lightly, where does the minimum cost of a few million taels of silver per year come from?" The sages divided the four people of the world into four peoples with Shinong industry and commerce, and determined the seven kingdoms of Kyushu, which were divided into the Central Plains and the barbarians. Since then, the three emperors and five emperors have multiplied for thousands of years. If the imperial court refers to the revision of the regulations, where will my generation of scholars have the face to face the sages under the nine springs in the future? ”
Ye Tao pursed his lips and copied a very famous sentence: "It's always been like this, right?" Ye Tao said very indifferently: "The seven kingdoms of Kyushu of the ancestors have not all survived to this day, and the Lu Shengren who divided the Central Plains and the barbarians have the farthest footprints in the area of the Qingluo Plain, and at that time there were two countries separated from the current Yunzhou and Benwolf Plains, and he was never able to get close. And the so-called division of the four peoples of Shinong, industry and commerce, probably because this saint who was born to know, has never seen a herdsman, and has never seen a sailor who can even cross the ocean with the development of technology, the abundance of the population, and the accumulation of people's determination to conquer self-heating...... It's been hundreds of years, and so much has changed. Huge people, if according to you, the basis for formulating tribal policy is actually probable...... Don't you think it's ridiculous to say a few words from a man who has never really been to the prairie hundreds of years ago? It's always been that way, right? ”
Questioning the sages!? This kind of thing is almost unimaginable for the vast majority of officials who are scholars in this era, even Huang Xuping, who thinks what Ye Tao said makes sense, remained silent at this time. Although in this time and space, the status of those sages is far from that of Ye Tao's original time and space, and they seem to be very different from the characters of the historical period, and there is no such thing as a single show. Although the scholars who respect those sages are overwhelming, there are also many people who question it, even in the diligent government, there are many people who secretly applaud Ye Tao's words in this world. At least, the general Zhuo Mang, who had been whispering beside Tan Xiaopei, admired Ye Tao's courage very much. The reason why Huang Xuping is not very willing to speak is more because Pang Rong, as a well-known scholar in Dongping, has a huge influence among ordinary scholars, and he is a pure civil official, and he really doesn't want to poke that hornet's nest. Readers who have been indoctrinated stupidly are a very troublesome problem in any time and space.
Pang Rong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointed at Ye Tao and said bitterly, "You...... You...... What do you know about a courtier? Your Majesty's great cause of reunification, and Your Majesty's many years of business in attracting scholars from all over the world will be ruined in the hands of people like you. ”
Ye Tao's expression was cold, even a little contemptuous. This kind of rebuttal is actually even more weak. He said: "The great cause of unification is not only civil governance, but also martial arts, and the premise of great unification is the strength of a certain country and the great power of a certain king, but it also contains the pursuit of a common goal in an era." Ye Tao looked at Pang Rong obliquely and said, "Since the huge bachelor is a learned person, he should at least understand that the so-called general trend of the world must be divided for a long time. It's definitely not the so-called Heavenly Dao Cycle. ”
"Why did the four kingdoms and one state on my Middle-earth continent split from a unified nation in the first place? That's because the state has not been able to resolve the contradictions within the country. The contradiction between the wealthy and the poor people, the contradiction between the rich and backward areas, and the contradiction between the Zhōng Yāng territory, which prides itself on the Central Plains, and the border ethnic groups that are very different in all aspects...... The kid didn't read much, but he also knew that the original split started from Northern Liao, because it was nothing more than that many ethnic groups in Northern Liao who had shifted from nomadism to agriculture were not taken seriously, and Northern Liao was always regarded as a remote area, and it existed as an area for raising horses. If it weren't for the fact that the Dai family in Yunzhou had always maintained a good relationship with the tribe and treated all the people of Yunzhou equally, how could the tribes in the north of Yunzhou support the Dai family at that time and fight against their fellow tribesmen? Since the huge people have always regarded them as barbarians, don't prevaricate with such a nonsense reason as the heart to the king. These tribes just feel that they can be respected and live a better life by following the Dai family. And now, pick what the tribes want from Dongping, and what we can provide, and that's exactly that. Ye Taosuo made his words clear, anyway, he had been looking at Pang Rong unpleasantly for a long time, and he didn't care that Suo Xìng tore his face and made him unable to get off the stage.
"And now, why is Dongping positioning itself as a country with the potential for a war of unification? It's not simply because of Wenzhi, not because of the huge number of people who used the genealogy of "Millennium Lineage" to prove that the Dongping royal family and that thousand-year-old family are related by blood, not because of the derivative exhibition of the doctrine of the saints, but because the continent we are in has once again produced a strong cohesion. ”
