Chapter 110
The question that Sun Qing could think of, everyone present, except for Fan Chen, who was not very sophisticated, everyone else also thought of it.
But no one really takes "bureaucratic hate" seriously.
Yin Ji didn't care, Zheng Gao, and Abu and other temple people didn't care.
As for Yin Changying, he only weighed the pros and cons of one policy for the country, and never took the will of others into account.
Although Zhaoguo is the leader of the Legalists, the Legalists have always shouted and killed the merchants, but Yin Changying will not really expel all the merchants in the country.
According to Yin Hui's observations, the commerce of Zhaoguo was actually very developed.
Because the country is strong, the people have houses and fields, money in their hands, and strong purchasing power, the merchants of the six countries like to run to Zhaoguo and can sell anything.
And for Zhao Guo itself, they also need these businessmen to bring intelligence, craftsmen, and talents.
But the kings of Zhao have been very clear,
Businessmen, available, but not credible.
For the sake of interests, these people, who can even be betrayed by the state without hesitation, only need to erect one or two examples and give them certain preferential treatment. It is enough for the officials to sing the white face, and the king to sing the red face.
Use it while killing. Naturally, it is possible to control the ambitions of these businessmen within a certain range and prevent them from extending their hands too far.
Like Chen Guo, Ziqian (usury) businessmen can even interfere in national affairs, not to mention influencing the local government? Don't even think about it!
Therefore, for Yin Changying's suggestion, Yin Changying did not resist.
He doesn't like businessmen, and he doesn't hate them.
I saw Yin Changying think for a while, and then pointed out the key: "Although the royal capital is big, there may not be many opportunities. ”
Yin Hui's eyes lit up.
It's easy to talk to smart people, even if Yin Changying doesn't know what the "siphon effect of a big city" is, but he knows very well what the reason for attracting a young man to leave his hometown and come to a strange city is.
It's an opportunity.
If there are enough opportunities in the royal capital, then people with dreams from all over the world will flock to it.
If you work in the royal capital, and one month's salary is worth a year of farming at home, then many people will be willing to live in the dirtiest and most dilapidated environment, and do the hardest and most tiring work, but also stay in the royal capital.
However, there are many kinds of "opportunities" in later generations, but for young people who are reading and literate in this era, there is only one so-called opportunity, and that is to become an official.
The problem is that the system of Zhaoguo determines that even if it is a low-level Qiang Fu and Lizheng, he must have a foundation for joining the army. If you don't have military merits and want to be an official, you can only be promoted exceptionally.
Of course, it doesn't matter how many people Yin Changying wants to promote, but it doesn't matter if he promotes one or two people exceptionally, if he wants to change the existing system, it will be a big problem.
Even if it is to be reformed, it is not such a heartbreaking reform.
Yin Changying didn't believe that Yin Ji would rush to such an extent, so the imposing king looked at her and said calmly: "What does Auntie think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Yin Ji glanced at Sun Qing, Fan Chen and the others.
Zheng Gao was very knowledgeable, knowing that this meant that the next words were inconvenient for them to hear, so they immediately led everyone to retreat, leaving only Yin Ji and Yin Changying in the house.
The room was silent.
I don't know how long it took before Yin Ji said slowly: "What does the eldest brother think, how is the Zhaoguo system?" ”
There is no need for Yin Changying to say more, Yin Changying already understands what she wants to say: "Everyone is short-sighted, if you don't block all retreats, it will not be enough." ”
This is the reason why Wei Jun set the policy so rigidly when he changed the law.
Only when the whole country, from the royal family, to the nobles, to the common people, wants to soar and prosper, and only by fighting a war can we ensure that the country will always maintain abundant enthusiasm in foreign wars.
Otherwise, how many people are willing to go to the battlefield and fight?
"During the war years, it was okay to take a gamble." Yin Ji sighed, "But the Six Kingdoms are already like the eldest brother's bag, and at that time, the Tian Zhai military merit title system may backfire on Zhao Guo itself." ”
This is a common problem of all foreign-expanding empires.
As long as we can keep fighting wars and maintain this state of chicken blood, then the country will always be in an upward state. In particular, frequent victories in foreign wars can cover up many problems in the rapid development.
However, once the expansion slows down, or it fails frequently......
Of course, Yin Changying knows this, and in just eight words, he points to the key: "Policies are changeable, and customs are difficult to change." ”
Yin Ji also knows the crux of the problem.
This is the same as the founding king has difficulty dealing with the heroes, and after the start-up grows bigger, the veterans have become troublesome.
People pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and worked hard for you to lay down this piece of the world. You turn your face and say, it's okay, you get off the stage and bow!
In the long run, who wants to die for you?
Although she also knows that the feudal dynasties of later generations have done this kind of conscience without doing less. Military generals are used in troubled times, and civilian officials are used in prosperous times, what is the result?
Those civil officials engaged in party disputes every day, talked on paper, and the landlords, scholars, and doctors became bigger, and they did not screw up the country.
On the contrary, the new dynasty, which completely inherited the system of the Zhao Dynasty and did not cut off the civil and military forces, died at the hands of relatives and eunuchs - only because the emperor of the new dynasty used his relatives to balance the military meritorious group.
Yin Ji has read many history books and knows that neither method is advisable.
Although Yin Changying is not like Yin Changying, standing on the shoulders of giants, he himself has extremely outstanding political wisdom, and he usually thinks about these questions when he is bored.
And many things that he thought and thought in his heart could not be said to anyone.
One is that no one is qualified to listen, unless he will appoint a prince in the future and teach his son how to inherit the empire; Second, he will not easily express his thoughts.
This is especially true of such a major matter that has a bearing on national affairs.
But in front of Yin Ji, he didn't hesitate to say some thoughts in his heart, so he heard him say lightly: "Lone has taken a fancy to a person, Xiangbang's doorman, Yang Yuan." ”
The name......
Yin Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then heard Yin Changying say slowly: "This person has a humble family background, and he learns from everyone." Light friendship, heavy interests; There is talent, selfless virtue; Flattering, forceful; Not a group, a good party; Greedy for life and afraid of death, he is extremely ambitious. ”
None of that sounds like a good word!
But Yin Changying changed his words and commented lightly: "It's useful." ”
Thinking of "history", how Emperor Zhao used Yang Yuan, Yin Ji understood.
To put it simply, it is to let the other party do all kinds of internal work, but do not give military power at all. Through marriage, rewards and many other methods, Yang Yuan was forcibly promoted to the position of the head of a hundred officials.
In this way, the hundred officials would not think that Yin Changying was consciously cutting some of the powers and responsibilities between civil officials and military generals, and regarded Yang Yuan as an experiment.
They would only think that Yang Yuan was a sycophant who had deceived the king, and hatred and anger poured out on him.
Thinking of this, Yin Ji looked at Yin Changying, her expression a little inexplicably sad.
Therefore, after Emperor Zhao died violently, Yang Yuanhui, in order to protect himself, conspired with Zheng Gao to first put a group of generals who were loyal to Emperor Zhao, but absolutely did not like them, all the edicts were overshadowed, and they were martyred.
Emperor Zhao calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that he would die so suddenly.
