Chapter 148

Why are the officials of this era family heirloom from generation to generation?

The reason is simple.

Talents from famous families disdain to be small officials;

Talents from poor backgrounds are unwilling to be petty officials.

And those who want to be small officials and have a certain amount of talent, but they don't know how to find out!

The restrictions of the Tianzhai military merit title system have determined that the imperial examination cannot be held at present, and it can only be regarded as military merit.

The problem is that not everyone who is good at internal affairs is good at war; Not everyone who fights can be safe and sound, and there is no lack of arms and legs.

For many soldiers, it is good to be alive, and the rank can only depend on luck.

Yin Cheng wanted to break the cycle by implementing the policy of "small officials can also be promoted to officials by virtue of their political achievements". But in this way, the quality of the first batch of officials must be very good in order to convince the public.

Otherwise, pushing some straw bales up and messing around is tantamount to breaking a good card.

It's just the right person, I'd rather be a doorman than a small official!

Seeing Yin Ji's depressed face, Yin Changying chuckled and said, "Gu Du told you the answer, auntie, why haven't you reacted yet?" ”

Answer?

Yin Cheng was stunned for a moment, thought of a possibility, couldn't help but widen her eyes, and heard Yin Changying say lightly: "The official position of Zhaoguo, even if it is just a fight for food, there is no reason for others to choose. Since they don't look down on this position, they will punish them to be Chengdan! ”

Yin Ji was shocked.

And this kind of operation?

Seeing her stay where she was, she couldn't react a little, Yin Changying said calmly: "This method, Auntie is not unexpected, but she doesn't want to think about it." ”

"No, I think it......" Yin Cheng said with difficulty, "this idea is too strange for me to think of." ”

It's not a compliment, it's a truth.

Yin Cheng never dreamed that Yin Changying's game-breaking ideas would be so eclectic.

Since you don't want to be a petty official, Lone will first demote you to be a criminal and work as a coolie.

His reason is also very legitimate - in a lonely country, the official position is all lonely, only lone is not given, and there is no reason that you can't look down on.

To be reasonable, Yin Ji really can't find anything wrong with this logic.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Well...... What if they die while they are in the city? ”

Yin Changying didn't care: "Life should be like this, what's the matter?" ”

“……”

Yin Ji understood.

Yin Changying's idea is very simple - the country lacks a large number of officials, and these doormen are just right, but the king is not good at winning the minister's doormen, and these doormen will not be able to be petty officials sincerely.

In that case, do the opposite.

As long as you find a way to get the minister to give up the doormen, for example, let the doormen take the blame, and easily reduce all these doormen to chengdan (the lowest criminals), it's enough.

In this way, the personal contract between the minister and the doorman will naturally be dissolved, and Chengdan's career, even if it is only a few months, is enough to make people change their appearance and completely polish the arrogance of the other party.

As for whether the doormen will be tortured to death in the process, can't stand the gap and commit suicide, or do too much hard work and die with a whimper, Yin Changying doesn't care at all.

Because no matter how big the gap at the grassroots level is, it is only a few hundred, not thousands at present.

And the intellectuals who were involved in An Xinhou's rebellion and thus were demoted to Chengdan are far more than that, at least tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of people compete for hundreds of posts, although they don't know it, but for Yin Changying, it means that he only needs a few hundred people to survive.

The rest, if they die, they die, what does it matter?

Yin Ji couldn't accept it: "But ......"

There is a shortage of people at the grassroots level, and she is indeed right, but she doesn't want Yin Changying to use this way to select talents!

Yin Changying knew that she was kind by nature, and he didn't change her meaning, just took it and continued to walk forward, asking as he went: "Auntie thinks that if you and I go to the same place together, we will be parents and officials." Regardless of identity, who can govern the local area better? ”

Yin Ji thought for a moment and replied sincerely: "Naturally, it's the eldest brother." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because I don't kill people."

Yin Ji said this very calmly.

After speaking, she thought about it, and even added calmly: "In this chaotic world, the eldest brother can sweep away all turbulence with iron-blooded means, end the war, and create a great cause that has never been seen in the ages." If it were me, the final outcome would only be betrayed and died. ”

This is not a boast, nor a fantasy, but a real fact.

Even if there is no power of "Wu", at most, it will only slow down the pace of Emperor Zhao's unification of the six countries for more than ten years;

Even if the "Heavenly Doctor" was strong, he finally came here because of his secret betrayal and cold arrows.

People's hearts are greedy and insatiable.

You give him one point, and he wants two; If you give him an acre, he will think, why can't you give me half of it, or even give it all to me, if you have thousands of acres of fertile land.

Benevolence, wisdom, and advanced ideas may be able to influence future generations.

But for the present, if you want to stop the chaos and subdue the people, you can only rely on an iron fist, power, interests, beliefs, and even massacre and peace.

Take the world as a chess game, and take human life as a chess piece.

Only in this way can we achieve supreme hegemony.

Yin Ji couldn't do this herself, but she wouldn't interfere with others, and forcefully ordered the other party not to do it.

Merely......

"Don't worry." Yin Changying said lightly, "In the world, no one dares to betray Lone." ”

This sentence seems to be a gap with Yin Hui's answer, but Yin Xi knows that he is true.

That bet, in fact, doesn't matter.

Regardless of whether Yin Ji is said to be moved or not, it will not hinder the overall situation. Yin Changying has already made up his mind to resign as prime minister, and degraded most of the courtiers of the DPRK and the Central Government to the city by the way.

The only difference is that if Yin Chang is not moved, then Yin Chang will start to liquidate Jiang Zhong's family after a few days; If Yin Cheng is moved, let Jiang Zhong stay in the phase for a few more months.

After all, Yin Changying just hinted that "there are too many guests in Changxinhou, and there are many fish and dragons", and asked Jiang Zhong to make scapegoats for the doormen and his henchmen, but he didn't say that he would not pursue this matter.

And why did he do it......

Quite simply, he wants to elevate Yin Cheng's status.

The banquet and drink are all on the table, but it is just one of the ways to show favor, which can only prove that Yin Changying values this sister very much.

But "this person is very important in the king's heart" and "this person is in front of the king, and his words carry a lot of weight" are undoubtedly two different things.

To give an inappropriate example, Jiang Zhong's eldest son, of course, is very important to Jiang Zhong.

But when the eldest son speaks, can Jiang Zhong listen to it? Not necessarily.

Only when these two are combined into one, so that everyone realizes that Yin Ji's words can decide their fate, no one dares to make those meaningless temptations and jump around in front of her.

In this way, naturally no one dares to betray Yin Changying, because betraying her is tantamount to openly going against Yin Changying, and there is only one way out.

Yin Ji was silent for a moment before asking, "The people around me ...... Is there anything wrong? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Yin Changying replied casually.

He didn't have much interest in these inconsequential people, and as soon as the conversation changed, he returned to the previous question: "Isn't Auntie wondering, what did Changxin Hou promise Le Pingjun?" ”
