On February 2, the Great Song Dynasty elected a vote of young cadres. After talking with these cadres, the officials selected sixty people from among them. They were given various vaccinations and trained in the knowledge of the Wa Kingdom and Samhan. On the 10th of March, 55 cadres went to these two countries in two groups, except for the five people who had a temporary accident.

When these young cadres set off, Wen Tianxiang, the secretary of the ministry, came to Zhao Jiaren. He said: "The officials, the ministers have been thinking about this group of cadres for the past few days, and suddenly feel that they understand why there are so many talents in the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

"Oh?"

"At that time, the officials of the Han Dynasty knew how to manage, and they did it step by step, and they were proficient in government affairs. It is Zhang Qian, who also knows how to move other countries with interests overseas. However, after the Han Dynasty system did not exist, the officials only knew how to speak useless truths. ”

Zhao Jiaren was stunned, he didn't expect Wen Tianxiang to say such a thing, this person used to pay attention to such a thing as 'Haoran righteousness'. Anyone who talks about righteousness can probably be attributed to the ranks of the working people.

"But I don't know why Song Rui suddenly thought so." Zhao Jiaren was eager to make sure.

"This time, the imperial court selected cadres to go to the Wa Kingdom and Samhan. I talked to many of them, and found that these people had never studied science, but their speech and demeanor were more like they had studied science. That's why I feel it. ”

Listening to Wen Tianxiang's words, Zhao Jiaren was speechless. These cadres have all graduated from the system, and they have received scientific knowledge since primary school and the cultural education of the modern nation-state. So for them, the truth is real. It's just that it's completely different from the idea that science has pieced together in an attempt to explain the world.

But Zhao Jiaren didn't say it directly, but just asked: "Why does Song Rui think this is similar to Qin Han." ”

"I used to be an official, although I knew the truth of accumulating soil into mountains, but I couldn't do it. Back then, I had a dispute with the government over the reform of public land, and when I remembered the words of the government back then, I saw the tax incident again, and suddenly I felt enlightened. If every piece of land can be managed well, there will certainly be no famine in the world. ”

"Not having famine is never the same thing as running well. In a large country like China, natural disasters can greatly reduce food production, but famine is more caused by incorrect man-made disasters. Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and there are frozen bones on the road. ”

"Although it can be said that there are not so many bad people in the world."

"There aren't so many bad guys? Ha ha! Zhao Jiaren couldn't help laughing. In Chinese cultural tradition, such bad people are condemned. But the capitalist system itself is about profit, and profit is the only goal. Under this system, if the capitalists do not oppress and enslave others, their system cannot be maintained. It was really the blood of sin flowing from every pore. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is entering industrialization, once the powerful are in power, the crony capitalist system will probably be born. If such a situation arises, there will probably be no one in all the upper echelons who is not guilty, and no one who cannot be killed.

"I don't know why the official family is mean?" Wen Tianxiang asked in surprise.

"Maybe I'm such a mean person that I can't listen to those words." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile, "But most of these cadres are grassroots cadres, and many of them are already pavilion chiefs." There are more than 50 people, and it is probably no problem to manage tens of thousands of square kilometers. Expect good news from these guys. ”
