got Li Yuan's guarantee again, and Zhang Chao's pass was temporarily passed. Because Li Yuan had already begun to waver, that is, so many people opposed it, so Li Yuan was not good at directly confronting. And the reason why Li Yuan asked Zhang Chao to answer with everyone is actually to entrust his fate to Zhang Chao himself. If Zhang Chao can withstand the pressure, then Li Yuan will continue to implement this test method. And if Zhang Chao can't withstand the pressure, then Li Yuan will stop this plan. And all this is Li Yuan's hope pinned on Zhang Chao, although Li Yuan, the emperor, has the idea of reform from the heart, Li Yuan attaches more importance to a stable situation. If the situation is unstable now, it will be very difficult to control.

But Zhang Chao reminded Li Yuan with one sentence, that is, will the monarch of later generations be as wise as Li Yuan? Li Yuan himself is the founding emperor, and he is still a little "arrogant" about this, thinking that the emperors of later generations should not be as wise as himself. He was able to control these situations because he was the founding emperor and had extraordinary abilities. But if their own descendants, will they be able to control these treacherous and cunning courtiers? At that time, their descendants may also be stunned by those traitorous villains, or confused by those hypocrites, and then promote a villain, which is the non-human trust.

So Li Yuan suddenly realized that establishing a system for selecting and employing people as soon as possible is actually a good thing for Datang. As long as a system of selecting and employing people can be established, even if Li Yuan, the founding emperor, is no longer there, the situation in the imperial court will remain unchanged. In fact, it is better to use the system to select officials than to use people to select officials. For this, Li Yuan is also very clear. Can he guarantee his own generation, can he guarantee his descendants? Li Yuan also did not have this confidence that his descendants could be as "wise" as himself.

And Li Yuan also realized that since we want to establish a system for selecting and employing people, we must do it as soon as possible. He is the founding emperor and has enough prestige to establish the system. At present, Datang has just opened the country, so many systems have not been established, so it can be established at the opportunity. If it is time for the world to be stable, then I am afraid that at that time, it will be faced with the fact that interest groups in the court have also begun to form, and large interest groups have also begun to become intertwined, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to change this situation again at that time.

Now, although there are some people in Datang, they are not too powerful. Now that a country has just been established, everyone hopes to unify the world and then achieve peace in the world. So at this time, the resistance to reform is the least, once the world is peaceful, the various forces within the Tang Dynasty begin to expand, and the resistance to reform has increased a little bit.

"Director Zhang, are you back?" Liu Chun asked.

Liu Chun is still worried about Zhang Chao a lot, because Zhang Chao doesn't know what his fate is, he will face the criticism and questioning of the ministers of the imperial court, and can Zhang Chao withstand the pressure? Now Liu Chun and these new department officials are all like Zhang Chao is the leader, if Zhang Chao is beaten, then although they don't have to be unlucky, their future will be ruined. So they naturally hope that Zhang Chao can get through, so that everyone can have a good future.

"Fortunately, I have withstood the first wave of attacks, and then we will continue to conduct pilot projects in the Ministry of Industry. We must let the Ministry of Industry complete the pilot of this test method as soon as possible, as long as we can cultivate a group of new law profitees, then we will also have a group of loyal allies. When the time comes, we will not have no one to support us in the imperial court, and we will definitely be able to reap the benefits at that time! Zhang Chao said.

"The new law profiteers?" Liu Chun didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Actually, it's very simple, that is, we are the ones who profit from the test method, that is, the people who profit from the new law!" Zhang Chao said.

Of course, Zhang Chao is very clear that as a reformer, he must face the problems of his own interest groups. If a reformer's reform program does not have enough beneficiaries, that is, new stakeholders, it will not last. Any old system is also made up of its vested interests, or the class of vested interests. Although many people have also had the idea of reform, they will inevitably face opposition from old vested interests, and then block reform.

And as a wise reformer, the first thing he has to do is to cultivate the vested interests of the new law, that is, the new vested interests. If you can cultivate a group of officials, or even classes, who will benefit from your reform policies, then you will not be alone, and you will inevitably have many allies. And first of all, let people see the benefits of your new policy, if you can't let them see the benefits of the new policy, you won't be able to attract some people to come and participate in your reform. The first thing to do is to recruit a group of like-minded people and then choose a place to pilot.

At present, Zhang Chao has selected a group of officials from the imperial examination, who have just entered the officialdom, are not high-level, and do not have a complex network of relationships. In addition, they are all from poor backgrounds and are not rich and noble, so they can be used as temporary allies of themselves. And the next step is to attract a group of people, that is, to expand their own alliance group, and then let more people feel the benefits of this new law and have a yearning for this new law. As long as the benefits of the new law can be felt by a group of people from the old vested interests, many of them may even split from the old vested interests and choose to support the new reform plan.

After all, any reform is a struggle between the old and new interest groups, and the new interest groups can also win over a group of people from the interest groups they have established and become new interest groups. Zhang Chao actually intends to recruit a group of people from those middle-level officials who have already achieved certain achievements to support him, because they are in that kind of situation. They want to be promoted, but with those founding fathers on them, they can't be promoted. If those founding fathers don't get out, then they won't have a chance to be promoted.

As for the issue of ability, many of them also think that they are no less than those founding fathers, at most it is a question of old qualifications or old qualifications. And these middle-level officials are the important objects of their own cooperation. And these test methods are an important means for them to show their abilities. As long as you can pass the test of the test of the test method, then show your ability, and then those more senior officials will also join the assessment, so it is clear who is strong and who is poor.

Can such incompetent high-ranking officials not move their subordinates? If he insists on occupying the pit and not, then the Qing Dynasty of the court can spray him to death. After all, in ancient times, there was always a group of people who claimed to be Qingliu and specialized in spraying people for a living.

"Wang Anshi's mistake, I can't make it!" Zhang Chao thought in his heart.

Of course, Zhang Chao knew very well that Wang Anshi's changes during the Song Dynasty were actually very good plans, but in the end they failed. And the reason for the failure is not that there are no new interest groups to support him? Although Wang Anshi was very enthusiastic about changing the law, his changes mainly relied on the support of the emperor. Although he can gain an advantage in a short period of time with the support of the imperial power, once the emperor is gone, he does not have a perfect interest group behind him to continuously support him, and in the end he will definitely face the result of the death of the people.

Of course, Zhang Chao knows that if there is no group of profiteers, he will naturally not be able to make himself have a steady stream of support. Therefore, Zhang Chao decided that everyone must see the profiteers, and those who profit support themselves, and those who do not make profits but expect profits also support themselves, so that this test method can be implemented.

The reason why Zhang Chao hopes to choose those middle-level officials as the development targets of future interest groups is actually because high-level officials have been promoted to the top and cannot be promoted in a short period of time. And the political influence of low-level officials is too small, so naturally they will not be able to get much support. And the middle layer is the most angry sandwich layer, and the upper layer cannot go up, and the lower layer cannot come down, so they are the ones who want to change the current situation the most. Therefore, Zhang Chao chose them as the cultivation objects of the profiteers, which is also a very suitable choice.

This is also the principle of desperate change, those middle level have ambitions but can not be realized, they want to change, that is the best partner. And the middle level also has a lot of political power, so they can also get a good value of wooing, and then the forces behind them can also be temporarily invested in this team to support the test method, and then become stronger and stronger. What Zhang Chao wants to do is to let those middle and low-level officials see that they can realize their dream of being promoted, and then they can be tempted by it. Only if he is tempted can he mobilize his own network to support it, so that Zhang Chao can have enough allies to deal with the resistance to reform.

"Director Zhang, what are you going to do next?" Liu Chun asked.

"Go to those officials of the Ministry of Industry and talk to each other!" Zhang Chao replied.

"Heart-to-heart?"

Liu Chun really didn't know that Zhang Chao had just "bloodbathed" the Ministry of Industry, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry should hate him to the core, but did Zhang Chao actually go to the officials of the Ministry of Industry to talk to him? What is there to talk about between them?
