Chapter 103

Yin Ji looked around and found that the twenty people present today all had titles, eight marquis, and twelve feudal monarchs.

In addition to An Pingjun, An Quanjun, and Le Pingjun, they were crowned kings because of their special status; Xiangbang Jiang Zhong was able to be crowned a marquis because he had saved the previous king and made great contributions to the establishment of the prince; The others are the credit of the real battle on the battlefield.

This also shows how casual and resentful the Queen Mother's lover An Xinhou is.

Yin Ji found that most of these twenty people were from the six eastern countries.

Needless to say, several feudal monarchs with the surname Chu are all wishing the royal family and the clan; Jiang Zhong is a native of Zheng Guo; Meng Yuan is a native of Yanguo; Wang Gan's father was a general of Chen State, who offended the ministers and took the whole family to run......

This surprised her a little.

From Zhaoguo's point of view, this is called meritocracy, and employing people is eclectic.

Zhaoguo is located in the west, although it has eaten the old capital left by the eastward migration of the Jiang royal family, but the foundation is insufficient, and the talents are scarce, unlike Zheng, Wei and other Central Plains countries, it has always been the center of politics, economy and culture, and the talents are like weaving.

A country that is already seriously lacking capable people, if it is no longer stuck to the difference between countries, it will be destroyed by other countries long ago, and there will be no century-old prosperity of Zhaoguo.

But for Yin Ji, she can't understand and accept that a person who turns his back on the motherland for the sake of glory and wealth can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?

You must know that these palace ministers have to participate in national-level strategic planning, plan together how to attack the six eastern countries, and even lead troops to the battle.

In other words, they want to personally participate in the destruction of their own motherland, and use it as a meritorious service, increase their official ranks, and seek high-ranking officials.

That's too ......

Although Yin Ji had some mustard in her heart, she didn't show anything.

Because she knows that absorbing talents from all over the world, just like the Tianzhai military merit title system, is a basic national policy that must not be shaken.

With her position, she can't even say anything about this, otherwise it will cause an extremely serious political accident.

Yin Ji can't change this status quo, so she can only accept it.

Therefore, she said in her heart that it is good to regard Zhaoguo as a hodgepodge of immigrant countries, and everyone who comes here hopes to live and work here in peace and contentment, and is willing to contribute to this.

What's more, not every immigrant who comes to Zhao is for official purposes, and many are also for refuge.

Thinking about it made her feel much better.

I saw Yin Ji raise the wine glass, take a sip gently, and found that this was rice wine, and the purity was already quite high, so I knew that this was Sun Qing's masterpiece again.

Looking at the flowing water table in front of him, it is a bit like a buffet, Abu introduced them one by one, this is stewed bear's paw, this is hoof, this is roasted venison, this is roasted goose meat, and so on.

Yin Ji: "......"

Feelings: Your recipe has all kinds of animals!

I have to say that the royal family has gathered the most skilled craftsmen in the world.

The emergence of stone mills has only been four years so far, noodles, steamed cakes, scones, buns, pastries...... She was already familiar with a lot of food, and she sent it to the table one by one.

Yin Ji was suddenly a little distracted.

She never underestimated the wisdom of working people and the tremendous power they could unleash in the face of interests.

This made her a little worried about the future, because she didn't know what the world would eventually become if she popularized and promoted the power of "witches" to the public.

Maybe it could be better, maybe it could be worse.

But since seven years ago, before Wang Ling, after Yin Changying woke up, she couldn't control the beginning of this matter, let alone be alone.

As she learned more about the world, the more she couldn't help but think, would this really be good?

Even so......

Yin sighed silently.

She couldn't stop it.

For her now, the only thing she can do is to guide things to the side that she thinks is good.

Regarding the handling of "witch", Yin Ji also thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that the full spread of the power of witch was a good thing for the present and for the future.

The people can live longer, and the country can have stronger productive forces.

People no longer have to have seven or eight children, they can only feed one or two; It is not necessary to be twenty or thirty years old, and he is full of gray hair, hunched over, like an old man; You don't have to rely on the sky to eat, and you can only sell your sons and daughters in a disaster year; It will not be possible to build bridges and pave roads, and there will be countless casualties.

But the premise of all this must be based on the royal family's willingness to think about the people, not to oppress the people together with the bureaucracy.

If Yin Changying is allowed to do it, Yin Changying has no doubt that Yin Changying will definitely make "Wu" become a privileged class, or even a product unique to the royal family.

This is a terrible outcome.

Before there was no "witch", the royal family and ministers enslaved the people, and the people endured it to the end, they couldn't bear it, and they could roar angrily and rise up.

But if the people are just ordinary people all their lives, the royal family has extraordinary power. The fate of that people will only be a thousand times more tragic than it is now, ten thousand times more miserable.

Thinking of this, Yin Cheng glanced at Yin Changying, and said silently in her heart, Big brother, I have no intention of being your enemy. But in the future, you will continue to embark on the road of abusing the power of the people and not caring for the people at all......

If I try everything, I can't stop you.

Then, we can only meet each other in arms.

Yin Hui's complicated mood is not well known.

The twenty courtiers in the main hall were all sitting upright, behaving very upright and gentlemanly, and they didn't dare to look in the direction where Yin Cheng was at all, lest they would be considered offended if they looked at it twice.

But just by taking a glimpse, they had already discovered that the person standing behind Yin Ji was actually Abu.

This made the feudal monarchs and the marquis think differently.

Abu, like Zheng Gao, is the king's personal slave, and even the queen mother has no right to send them.

There is no doubt that it is a great honor for Abu to serve Yin and pour wine.

But this also means that there is no one around Yin Hui.

As for Biao Wanzi? Or the palace people who serve her, the temple people? What's the use of that?

Just like important ministers have to store henchmen and guests, and they also have to pull their children and grandchildren out to experience, receive different guests, do different things, and use different specifications, the princess should also have such a corresponding team around her.

But no.

Of course, this can be said to be the king's favor, you don't have to worry about it at all, Lone has already sent all his own people over, and everything will be done for you.

But this kind of "honor" can also be interpreted from another angle.

That is, everything about the princess is given by the king, and without the king's manpower, she can't even do things, let alone what she can plot to hide from the king.

So, is this an unprecedented grace, or is it an impenetrable vigilance?
