Chapter 599: Trash and Hope

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

A good king, a mature nation, a strong nation, no one will think about how to control the tongue.

If you compare the two, Li Yuanji thinks that the ancient times did a better job in this regard.

Leaving aside some specific differences between the two different eras for the time being, there are big differences in the ideology of statecraft alone.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, in the present.

No matter how 'corrupt and self-contained' this bureaucratic class was before that, there is no doubt about one thing.

Most of the officials of this era are clean and self-conscious, and they hope that they can lead by example and lead others with their own actions, rather than the kind of people who say one thing and do another.

Not to mention anything else, at least in this regard, Li Yuanji still feels that he should thank Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

Whether it is rectification or the exclusion of dissidents, this most basic style of work in officialdom has not been lost.

As an emperor, at this time, you can directly question an official's ability, but you must not easily question his integrity.

Because they can't accept this kind of questioning, if the emperor really points out this aspect, then what will the ministers do?

Committed suicide to show his innocence.

Under the guidance of Confucianism, in many respects it seems to be a kind of bondage to the nation and poison to the mind.

But from another point of view, the reason why everything is too late, and the reason why there is such a feeling is entirely due to the dominance of the Confucian family.

Confucianism still has advantages in ideological control and ideological guidance, so why do officials keep themselves clean? Why are you willing to endure hardships and hardships, and you are not willing to move your fingers to become rich?

Fundamentally, it's because Confucian ideas bind them in their minds that they can't do that.

In terms of governing the people, most of them are based on the policy of ignoring the people, not to fool them in everything, but to correspondingly, let them know as little knowledge as possible, and let them be in the stage of not yet enlightenment.

Without enlightenment, the mind would not be as flexible as the literati, and the ideas would not be as many, so there would be no major problem in management.

Someone rebelled, this is a big deal, but it's not a big deal.

The current Li Yuanji has absolute confidence in his rule, and it does not mean that someone can succeed if he stands up.

It's like a rifle, it's powerful and dangerous, but if you throw it into the water and shoot, even if you can shoot the bullet, its range will be reduced by hundreds of times.

is still the same sentence, the current Datang has no room for rebels to survive at all.

This land is not suitable for raising such people for the time being.

Whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji, or anyone else, they can't bring a real threat to Li Yuanji, and there is only one person who can threaten him the most, and that is himself.

Ma Wu Ma Liu quietly used his privileges to quietly arrest Wang Jing, who had just returned home, and then took him directly into the interrogation place of the secret guard.

And Li Yuanji, on his side, doesn't seem to pay much attention to this matter.

At this moment, the ministers sat down one after another, looking at a long scroll of articles in their hands, frowning from time to time, and occasionally showing an excited expression.

No one can say what their mood is right now.

"What do you think?" Li Yuanji asked with a smile on his face.

What the ministers held in their hands were Li Chengguang's perceptions and opinions on this trip, and some of the ideas of governing the country that were inspired by this, or some of the ideas for local development.

It can be seen as the next development plan for the Changluo area, as well as some layouts for other areas.

The plan is not comprehensive and does not cover many aspects.

Li Chengguang didn't write it haphazardly, nor did he go to the imagination.

He only wrote what he saw and what he felt.

Such a plan would be equivalent to the vision of a mid-level official in a development province, and even in terms of specific details, it would be slightly better than that of a newly recruited official.

For the future prince, coming up with such a plan is a bit insufficient.

But still the same sentence.

"The minister has two opinions, if you look at it from the perspective of the future prince, this plan is obviously a failure, and it can be thrown away directly, and even the minister will doubt the vision and ability of the future prince. But if you add in the age of His Highness, then this plan gives the minister some hope. Wei Zheng directly stood up and judged.

A typical straight-hearted person will not pat himself on the back, but he will not say something to death because of a position.

The prince is also a human being, and the prince also needs time to grow.

You can expect the highest standards from the start, but you can't expect him to do it.

If he can do what you ask, then it proves that he is fully capable of ascending to the throne.

Just over eight years old, he went on a field trip for the first time, and he had just established himself as the future prince, and he had just received the education method that belonged to the prince.

To be able to do this for the first time is actually quite good.

This is why Wei Zheng said that he saw hope, an eight-year-old child can have such a vision, doesn't this still show that he is excellent? Can't say anything about his potential?

Don't you know what kind of bird your descendants are now?

Compared to Lee Seung-gwang, those guys are garbage.

Of course, this is not a self-deprecation, nor is it a blow to morale, but the facts are just in front of you.

I have to admit that looking at the plan that Li Chengguang came up with, many of them are a little worried.

According to common sense, their descendants will be good friends with the prince, they will be classmates and friends, and after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, they will also become confidants, and then it will take a decade or two to reach their current position, or a little lower.

This kind of thing is not strange, it was still normal in ancient times, otherwise why would I accompany the prince to read a high-ranking official?

Well, the embarrassing thing is that now it seems that the gap between the two sides is too big.

In addition, Li Yuanji's employment ideas will definitely affect Li Chengguang's future employment ideas, so the descendants of these old ministers are indeed dangerous, they will not starve to death, and it is basically impossible to carry forward the majesty of the family.

"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, it is better to read countless people than to read countless people, it is better to read countless people than to show the way to a famous teacher, and it is better to understand it yourself than to guide the way by a famous teacher." Li Yuanji said this lightly.

There are many kinds of understanding, which can be regarded as the uselessness of reading, and ultimately it depends on understanding, what kind of talent a person has, and what kind of achievement he will achieve in the end.

But it is clear that this understanding is wrong.

The correct understanding should be that the sentence itself represents a matter of order, and that it is not separate, but a complete sentence, not that the former is inferior to the latter.

To make the simplest example, if you want to build a steel battleship, then you must first discover the ore, which is to read thousands of volumes, and then you have to train it into qualified steel, which is to travel thousands of miles, and then you need to select the most suitable steel variety to build a battleship, this is to read countless people, the craftsmen of the shipyard, that is, the famous masters, under their control, pieces of steel spliced into a complete battleship.

In the end, what kind of results can be obtained on the battlefield depends on how the person who uses it will operate.

This explanation may seem a bit complicated, but it is easy to understand.

Although the horizon of traveling thousands of miles is broadened, but there is no knowledge as a foundation, many things can not be thoroughly understood, see more things, see more people, deal with people, naturally know what to do.

At this time, on this occasion, Li Yuanji must not have come to pretend to be forced.

There is no need to explain this, and the ministers below also know it.

They were still holding Li Chengguang's plan in their hands, but their minds were rapidly spinning, thinking about the true purpose of Li Yuanji's words.

This sentence contains a profound life truth, with a strong guidance, a person who can thoroughly understand this sentence, success is certain, nothing more than a small talent.

Who can stand here is not a talent? They need to continue to learn, but they don't have to be taught as much as they do in the classroom.

They don't need it, but someone does.

Who is this person? The answer is right in front of you.

With Li Chengguang's planning perception and listening to Li Yuanji's words, it didn't take much effort for the ministers to understand Li Yuanji's purpose.

These ministers present are the famous teachers in Li Yuanji's mouth, basic knowledge, Li Chengguang has been learning, traveling thousands of miles, it is impossible for Li Chengguang, at most he will go out occasionally, but with this assassination incident, there will not be too many opportunities to go out in the future.

Reading countless people, a prince, does he need to mix with ordinary people every day?

Of course not, these ministers are not only famous teachers, but also the target of Li Chengguang's reading.

In other words, Li Yuanji intends to let these ministers teach Li Chengguang together, perhaps, teaching is not enough, in a certain aspect, give him some guidance, this is certain.

Different identities, different statuses, and different people are also different.

If from now on, let Li Chengguang adapt to this kind of life, find a way to understand the thoughts of the ministers, understand some of their habits, and then through the change of office, constantly change the ministers, and constantly change the goals, with it, more and more ministers can be understood by him.

Although by the time Li Chengguang came to power, most of these ministers would have to retire, or simply bury them in the soil.

But does this make a difference? Li Chengguang has mastered a method of his own through contact with them, no matter what kind of person he faces at that time, he can solve it as soon as possible, solving the problem is not the ultimate goal, the purpose is to master the solution.

"Ministers obey the holy will!"
