After listening to Zhang Juzheng's suggestion, Tang Yi seemed to be unimpressed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Could it be that Tang Ge thinks he's lying to you?"

"No, Brother Taiyue is speaking from the bottom of his heart."

"Then why is Elder Tang Ge quite disdainful?"

"Hehe, Brother Taiyue, you only saw one side, but you didn't notice that this world is different." Tang Yi got up from the chair, put his hands on his shoulders, and said with a little pride: "During the southern tour last year, I returned to Suzhou, where I had been absent for a long time. After a trip, it was very different. Do you know that up and down Suzhou, the literacy rate has been close to 40 percent, and more than 80 percent of the schoolchildren can go to school, in the next ten years, the literacy rate in Suzhou will exceed 70 percent, and other southeastern places, although not as good as Suzhou, but will also be more than half, as for the Central Plains, I am also sure to raise the literacy rate to more than 3 into 5. Tell Brother Taiyue one more thing, I also promote literacy education for soldiers in the southeast, plus Jiubian, the literacy rate in the army is now more than fifty percent, much higher than that of ordinary people, and he is no longer a vulgar martial artist, Qiu Ba Uncle. ”

Tang Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng with a smile, "Brother Taiyue, do you know what this means?" ”

"Isn't it just a flourishing culture and education? You Tang Ge is always a sage in the world! Zhang Juzheng said sneeringly.

"Wrong!" Tang Yi shook his head and said, "It means that the number of literate people in the Ming Dynasty will exceed 30 million, or even reach 50 million." The more people who read and write, the more people who think. Originally, the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, the scholar is the first, is the preparation of the official, as long as through the imperial examination, you can enter the court as an official, even if you can't be an official, you can also become a village sage in the locality, eat and drink spicy, bully the people, and live a comfortable life. They are scarce in number and extremely expensive, so they will respect the sages of Confucius and Mencius, regard themselves as disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and raise their value. He often talks about learning literary and martial arts, and sells goods to the emperor's family. Dreaming of being Tian Shelang and ascending to Tianzitang at dusk. ”

"But now, there are too many readers, no matter how the imperial examination increases the number of admissions, it can't digest the huge group of readers, and if there are more people, the value of the scholars will depreciate, and they can't live a comfortable life by knowing a few words. If you are poor, you will think about change, and the scholars will no longer be a whole, they must find their own way out, go to business, go to farming, build workshops, build factories, and even put pen to paper! ”

"The way of Confucius and Mencius did not tell them how to do a good job in these practical undertakings, and the realistic needs would shatter the situation of Confucius and Mencius dominating the country, and Confucius and Mencius still retreated, not to mention Cheng Zhu Lixue! Sooner or later they will be swept into the garbage heap, and no one wants to waste their lives on something meaningless. Scholars have dispersed from a single group to all walks of life, and they have to speak for their own industry and for their interests. And a large number of clever minds will create a huge amount of wealth, in order to protect their vested interests, it is necessary to advocate rules, laws, today's southeast, there are all kinds of local regulations, as well as many industry regulations. “

"But that's not enough! It's like a fishing net, as long as there is a loophole, you can't catch a fish. Imperial power is the biggest loophole! Therefore, it is necessary to let the imperial power bow its head and let the Supreme be judged, only in this way will the last loophole be plugged and a perfect net will be formed! ”

Tang Yi kept talking, to tell the truth, who doesn't want to become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, enjoy the power, take life and death, and do whatever they want...... It's just that Tang Yi has a pair of eyes that see through the fog, and as more and more people read, his thoughts will become more and more diverse, and he will take all the power in his hands, and he will also carry all the accusations and anger.

With the beginning of the colonial era of seafaring, the authority of the emperor was declining, regardless of the country.

Imperial power declined, and gold power rose.

Culture is widely disseminated, more and more literate people are numerous, and the power of public opinion will shift from the initial small-scale Shilin Qing discussion to newspapers and magazines, and ordinary citizens......

The social structure has changed, the wind direction is different, and if you want to usurp power and be a thankless emperor, it is better to hide behind the scenes, control the golden power, and control public opinion.

Even if the descendants are not good, as long as the shares are left to them, they can live a peaceful life.

Ironically, Zhao Kuangyin bullied the orphans and widows of the Chai family, and when he died, his own brother bullied his son...... Tang Yi didn't believe in retribution, but he had to admit that the emperor was a highly dangerous industry, especially in the era of great changes, and it was best not to touch it.

Rao is Zhang Juzheng is brilliant and strong-minded, and when he heard Tang Yi's words, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and his hands and feet were cold.

He didn't want to admit Tang Yi's nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, he found more and more that maybe Tang Yi was really right, as the saying goes, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of things.

If there are more readers, there will really be a qualitative change.

When knowledge and discourse are in the hands of a few, they take advantage of their monopoly position to gain benefits. The easiest way to do this is to honor an authority, a sage, a perfect utopia. Then they can expound casually and talk nonsense casually, and they can reap benefits. Even if that authority, that sage, that idol, that utopia has a problem, they choose to turn a blind eye and ignore it.

However, once there are more people who read books, more people who think, more comprehensive information, and more convenient communication, the original interests are not enough, and the new rising readers are unwilling to be deceived and fooled, it will impact the original discourse system......

It's very dry to say, in fact, there are not many such examples in history, just take the two Song Dynasty, the progress of printing, the imperial examination, the rapid rise of the Hanmen scholars, replacing the family that lasted for thousands of years, to the Ming Dynasty, there are almost no five surnames and seven sects of that kind of behemoth.

Zhang Juzheng is familiar with the history of the scriptures, and it is not difficult to understand it at all.

In fact, there are more obvious examples, such as the Internet era that Tang Yi experienced in his last life, from the very beginning of his contact with the Internet, how many people worshiped those historians, economists, and famous scholars with a reverent attitude, listened to their teachings, and regarded their words as a guideline and a wise saying......

But in less than a few years, the number of netizens exceeded 500 million, 700 million...... Among them, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, the information that experts can see, most people with a heart can also find it, and at this time the experts become worthless, and their ridiculous remarks have been slapped in the face again and again, and they have been beaten to the point that their noses are blue and their faces are swollen. Some people even take pleasure in playing with them, and in less than ten years, the entire public opinion environment has completely changed...... The so-called experts quickly passed away, eliminated, and became a laughing stock.

Today's Daming is also on the eve of sudden changes.

Just before the interrogation of the Li family, various newspapers, people from the heart of the school, and merchants from all over the world...... All the forces that Tang Yi could influence were rapidly mobilized, criticizing the imperial power on the one hand, and calling for the legal system on the other, and the entire Ming academic community was suffering unprecedented impact and changes......

"Brother Taiyue, you see that the imperial power is as solid as a rock, but what Tang sees is nothing more than a paper tiger."

Zhang Juzheng frowned and gritted his teeth, "Tang Yi, you are too conceited, I admit that what you said may be some right, but it is not so easy to change thousands of years of tradition!" If you want to rely on public opinion alone to contain the emperor, you are a fool's dream. What's more, you can't sit in the position of the first assistant all the time? Your successor may not follow your path. ”

"Takami!"

Tang Yi laughed loudly, "Brother Taiyue, only you have this vision and talent, and you can tell the problem at once, it's really amazing!" ”

Tang Yi instantly became serious and said: "So I want to reform the system, completely reform the system, and destroy all the things left by Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter what the emperor thinks at that time, and no matter who inherits the position of first assistant, it will not be shaken!" ”

"You're dreaming!" Zhang Juzheng was furious, completely angry. Now he finally believed Xu Jie's worries, Tang Yi was definitely more terrifying than Wang Mang, Zhao Kuangyin and the others combined!

"Tang Yi, don't be delusional, Grandpa's rules can be overturned by you, and your rules are even more vulnerable!" He shouted frantically.

"Hahaha, Zhu Yuanzhang's rules have been overturned, because it is unreasonable, and it should be overturned! And Tang's rule is that there will be room for correction, and no one can escape! ”

Tang Yi approached Zhang Juzheng and gritted his teeth.

"Brother Taiyue, you just said, who will issue this decree, the cabinet will not succeed, and it will not be possible to borrow the emperor. Am I not going to be able to do it? Let me tell you, I have ordered all provinces to set up advisory bureaus, select capable and famous people, shoulder the hopes of all the people, and go to Beijing together to discuss state affairs. I can also tell you that in the future, this advisory bureau will become customized, and I have chosen the first senior minister of the Ming Dynasty, which is Gao Gong Gao Suqing. Then there will be Dali Temple will be separated, become the largest judgment yamen, even the emperor, can not restrain Dali Temple, the future Dali Temple official is Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng. There will also be a will abolish the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Zongren Mansion, the Jinyi Guard, the Master of Ceremonies, the East Factory, and the Twenty-four Yamen! Ten years, as long as ten years of work, the emperor will become a tiger without claws, you say that the successor will oppose my rules and fall to the emperor. You are wrong, no one in this world wants to be a dog, whether intentionally or unintentionally, there has always been a struggle between the prime minister and the imperial power. ”

Tang Yi was full of confidence, "Brother Taiyue, you are a great talent, but from beginning to end, you are a royalist, and you are superstitious about the emperor's authority, you and Feng Bao of the Li family joined forces in order to use the imperial power to cut the knife on the body of the civil official group, this is your biggest failure!" ”

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he turned around suddenly, "Send the things over!" ”

Immediately, a soldier trotted over, holding a tray in his hand, and a bottle of poison was placed on it, the same as the one who poisoned Longqing, it was all a tie!

Tang Yi paused for a moment and said slowly: "Zhang Jingxiu and I will take care of them, as for Zhu Yihua, the king of Lu, when he is a few years older, someone will send him overseas to live an ordinary life." There is only one sin, don't worry! ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Yi took a deep breath and strode out of the prison...... (To be continued.) )
