Chapter Ninety-Six: Worrying When There Are Many Children

Coincidentally, in the team that entered Beijing, except for Zhang Qingze, who was the first to arrive, the rest of the people actually came to the capital at the same time. The city gate was wide open, welcoming the original heroes from all over the world, and Lu Bing stood on the top of the city tower and looked at everyone. The wind blew across Lu Bing's cheeks, Lu Bing's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in his heart: "Zhu Houxi is worried about not having a son, and now I, Lu Bing, have four sons and one daughter, and I am even more worried." ”

It turned out that everyone under the city wall saluted Lu Bing on the city tower, and Lu Bing ordered Wu Shen not to bow down, so everyone also complied. Most of the people present were the elders of the Lu family, and they had long been used to it, even if they were in the Lu family's army before, it was just a one-knee salute. And the position where everyone is standing is not difficult to see, the old lady has long been kneeling down by Lu Bing and let into the palace. And Meng Xueqing, as the housemother of the Lu family, was not among them, but most of the rest were not, Lu Yi and Lu Xun were the sons of Lu Bing, and the future prince was surrounded in the middle. Duan Qingfeng and Shen Yeshan also rushed back at this time, and those with identities like them and Ji Lianhong had already been let into the palace, and the rest were intimate Cheng Dù or those with a slightly lower status. The two brothers are very good at being people, and they let Xu Yang in the middle, and the two brothers stood half a step behind Xu Yang. Xu Yang resigned for a long time, but he could only avoid it.

Lu Yi was surrounded by mostly some officers from the actual combat faction and Qilu Academy, as well as Han Sufa and others, and Lu Xun was surrounded by Meng Xueqing's cronies and followers, it is not difficult to imagine that one day if the two brothers come to inherit, these people will each exert their own energy for their masters. Riding with the dragon is not just for the sake of allegiance to one's lord. It's for their own future. But what made Lu Bing feel fortunate was that the two brothers were close to each other, and they grabbed each other's forearms and entered the capital together. At least on the surface, brotherly feelings are still fine. Lu Bing sighed, I just hope that I can teach by word and deed, so that my brother can pay attention to this family affection, there is nothing in the world, if you are a lonely person, it is better to plant beans in Nanshan,

On the top of the main hall, Lu Yi talked about the military exploits of the south. emphasized the credit of his younger brother Lu Xun, and Lu Bing happily praised the two. Five days later, the founding ceremony began. Lu Bing ascended the throne and sat in the palace. became the first emperor of the new country, and the country name was new. All the people admired, and the important ministers congratulated one after another.

As soon as qiē proceeded according to the procedure, it was vast but not extravagant. Strict but not rigid. The magnificent founding ceremony of the new country ended in this way according to simplified etiquette, and there was no need to spend much pen and ink.

Then several things happened in the new country, and they gradually became big things, and they still need to be brought together. The first thing is that Lu Bing removed the kneeling salute, even ordinary people don't have to kneel when they see him, let alone officials at all levels. Regardless of gender, the knee represents a person's integrity. What kind of integrity and backbone can a nation that kneels down on its knees at every turn? Therefore, in addition to kneeling to the heavens and kneeling to the parents. The rest of the prostrations were all removed, leaving only the men's fist salutation and the women's blessing ceremony as the basic rituals.

At the same time, the imperial examination system, which was suspended due to the war, was still based on Confucianism, but it did not respect Confucianism alone, and the great integration of the ideas of recommendation and promotion was abolished, and the eight hated eight strands in the imperial examination were abolished. Lu Bing has participated in the imperial examination and knows the harm of the eight shares, although there are talents cultivated by them, they will still be rigid, and the eight shares are simply useless, they can only be stereotyped. Therefore, the selection of examination materials for the imperial examination is no longer fixed in the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention the increase in scope, and many practical examinations have also been added. The imperial examination has become an annual examination, providing a steady stream of talents for the country, but it will not be a large number of talents at one time and there is nowhere to allocate or the workload of screening will intensify.

In addition to retaining the probationary stage, that is, the system of apprenticeship for officials, but to increase the probationary period, everyone must start from the grassroots level and then gradually promote, and the difference in performance has only become an auxiliary factor. At the same time, the content of the imperial examination is also in accordance with the Qilu Academy's admiration, in addition to the Confucian etiquette and music shooting the number of imperial books, but also pay attention to the policy theory, that is, the discussion of the policy of governing the country, which is the top priority of the first imperial examination.

In addition, the martial arts system was also revised, and the martial arts examination was no longer regarded as an examination for the re-promotion of military attachés, but the martial arts examination was completely abolished and replaced with an in-military assessment. That is to say, those who have experienced the imperial examination, if they are interested in abandoning the pen and following the literature, can join the army. Those who are the first in the imperial examination start from the small banner and are promoted by military merit, and of course the same is true for those who are willing to become officials. In the military, from top to bottom, reports should be reviewed and judged every year as the key to promotion.

Lu Bing pays attention to all-round development, in addition to the big imperial examinations, Lu Bing also added two small imperial examinations, one is the invention of the imperial examination, so that a new department appeared, called the Creation Bureau, this imperial examination by the abbot of the Creation Bureau, every five years. If you have any particularly good inventions, you can declare them to judge how effective they are. There is no limit to the number of declarations, no limit to the subject matter, no limit to the role, to the two standards of ideological innovation and practicality, both theory and practice, no matter which aspect of excellence is possible. Once selected, he will be appointed to the Creator's Bureau, and the salary of the Creation's Bureau is very high, and there are the most advanced machinery and a large number of resources available in the country, such as mineral resources, books, wood, etc. This has provided the new country with a steady stream of innovative spirit and the strength of the country's scientific and technological progress.

Another small imperial examination is a three-year period, called Bole Imperial Examination, by the abbot of the Inhuman Pavilion, promote capable people from all walks of life, enter the Inhuman Pavilion to work, and after entering the office, you can enter the court as a regular official according to your ability. The reason why it is a three-year period instead of a five-year period is because the number of people who come to take the examination may be more than the imperial examination because they involve all walks of life, and it is a selection of thousands of horses from all walks of life in the private sector. As long as you think you're particularly successful in this industry, you can give it a try. In Lu Bing's words, many officials of the Ministry of Industry are people who read dead books and read dead books, let them build canals and build cities, isn't this nonsense, if it is only for the budget or something, then what do you want the Ministry of Household to do, you need to know how to make good use of people, put talents in their due positions, and let everyone give full play to their due talents.

The whole country was jubilant, and the idea of the Han people's official position was strict, but the purpose of studying was to be an official. Now there are more ways for everyone to get ahead, and it is no longer necessary to study to make a difference. All walks of life have admired Lu Bing, saying that my lord is sage. Some dynasties emphasized literature over military force. Some dynasties emphasize martial arts and light literature, but Lu Bing cares about all-round development, under such a promotion, all walks of life have developed, and everyone racks their brains, hoping to have a better development, so as to carry forward the glory of the ancestors.

After talking about the two policies to deal with the private sector. Let's talk about officialdom. The policy that was first tried in Suncheonfu was implemented throughout the new country, that is, the state raised people and the high and the honest people, and at the same time, it was the same as in Shuncheonfu. Jinyiwei cooperated with various legal and discipline departments, and strictly enforced that no more things could be allowed to happen when they were greedy for ink. In addition, the implementation of a whistleblowing system and joint sitting, if the boss is found to be greedy or illegal. You can make a report. Each person has three chances of false reporting, and once the false positive is made, the name will not be made public, ensuring the safety of the whistleblower. If you are wrong all three times, you will be falsely accused, and you will be reduced to an ordinary person and sentenced to three months in prison. In addition, if the report is successful, you can be promoted and promoted. At this time, there are countless eyes beside the officials, helping the Jinyi Guards to monitor all the officials, thus reducing the expansion of the number of Jinyi Guards and the occurrence of redundant officials. No one dared to commit fraud in this regard, let alone ignore the report. Otherwise, it will be reported by subordinates, and it is impossible to prevent reports at all levels, so no one dares to exercise power in the dictatorship.

When the people heard that this government recommended Lu Bing even more, the officials and lords no longer dared to bully the people, and their subordinates also looked at their bosses under the drive of human nature, and they would write it down if there was a slight disturbance. At the same time, they will also work tirelessly, because if they break the law, they also have subordinates who can report it, even if they don't have subordinates.

Originally, Lu Yi had reacted to Lu Bing, and this statement was also supported by Yan Song, and both of them were worried that such an operation would be too hasty, and the officials would not be able to stand it because the changes were too fast. At the same time, I am worried that people are panicking and have lost their recent trust. Lu Bing said that the trust has indeed decreased, and people are wary everywhere, but freedom comes from rules, and freedom without rules is chaos, Lu Bing and said with a smile that it is not broken or standing, sometimes don't think too much because you are in a high position, you must quickly cut through the mess, and when it changes, it will change and it will be chaotic, otherwise how can you talk about this new word of the new country?

Not only Lu Yi and Yan Song, in fact, many people have such ideas, but Lu Bing did not brainstorm this time, claiming that he would try it first, and if it doesn't work, he will revise it slowly, at least such a policy is beneficial to the people, and the officials will understand if they explain it to them. Contrary to most people's expectations, this system was not only embraced by grassroots government officials and officials, but also by some local officials, with few voices opposing.

This is not a hypocritical accompaniment, but because Lu Bing saw through the ugly roots of the Ming bureaucracy, he has been studying this all these years, and he saw it more clearly in the officialdom at that time, and now that he has ascended to the position of Dabao, he naturally has to hurry up the reform. First of all, not every official has the ability and power to pluck the feathers of the goose, so many officials who are forced to clean up and seize the opportunity to make a fortune will be ruthless. Lu Bing reformulated the level according to the importance of the position and the degree of work fatigue, and since then most officials have a good salary, even if the relatively idle position is better than before. And Gao Cheng also freed most ordinary officials from the dilemma of being a boss, and they didn't have to worry about being deducted and in arrears, and at the same time, Gao Cheng also brought them a better life.

Baili is an official, just for food and clothing, most of the officials are also children of ordinary people, rich people don't care about more money, they want glory and power and money transactions to make the family to the next level, and no money officials have to make money because their salaries are too low. Now that it's okay, with Gao Yulu, there is no need to be greedy for ink for a living, and the Lu family has strict laws and disciplines, once it is discovered, all the qiē will come to naught.

The people of the country pay attention to taking care of their old age, and the policy set by the new country, when they reach a certain age, whether they are in office or not, they have a large amount of money, which is enough to live a prosperous and rich life. In addition to the supervision pressure from the outside world, there is also people's vanity, except for psychological problems, most people still hope that the people will support them, and no one wants their reputation to be very poor, and they will be abused behind their backs every day without the will of the people. can not only get a material life, but also gain word of mouth, be loved and supported, as long as there is no disease in the brain, will be willing to do so.

The officials are not afraid of my strictness but of my integrity, and the people are not convinced of me but of my father. The public is clear, and the honest is powerful.

The change of the bureaucratic system has been a great success, not to mention that all walks of life are waiting to be revived, even the atmosphere of officialdom is also positive, everyone feels such benefits, and when they encounter problems in ordinary times, they are no longer fighting for money and relationships, but about the word justice and the new national law.

As for the law, except for a small number of amendments, the new national law is still a basic continuation of the Ming law. In this regard, Lu Bing claimed that he could not ask for it, and he still needed to discuss it. Everyone brainstormed and negotiated a set of laws, and they could not listen to the opinions of one person, and tried to seek justice and fairness. The people of the world do not suffer from injustice but from injustice, and the simple word fairness is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to really implement.

Lu Bingli said that there are three kinds of national law, civil law, and criminal law, and began to solicit opinions from the people.

Speaking of soliciting opinions, the difference between Lu Bing and Lu Yi is that Lu Bing likes to discuss, although he is a little indecisive, but Lu Yi seems to be a little too decisive, and it is easy to fall into the wrong direction of insisting on going his own way.

Lu Bing's concept of brainstorming and fairness is reflected everywhere in the new country, such as the current change in the main hall of the Fengtian Temple. (To be continued......)
