Chapter 64: The Way of Innovation

Gu Cang had actually thought about these questions that Zhang Zhi'e asked and thought just now, otherwise he would not have deliberately founded a people's newspaper, planning and then acting, it was his principle of doing things, and he immediately answered it.

"It doesn't matter if the people are illiterate, I will ask the yamen to recruit some lecturers from the school, and preach the content of this people's newspaper for the people in the teahouse tavern and other places, as for what you just said, about these layout issues, I dare not agree, the country, not the country of you and me, nor the country of one person, this is the country shared by everyone, without the people, the king is an empty shelf, without a strong enough leader, the people will become headless flies, bullying others, the sage said, the king, the boat, the people, the water, the water can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, the two are complementary to each other, there is no distinction between high and lowWhy do you say that it is inconvenient to tell the people?"

"Since everyone is from Liangguo, then everyone is qualified to know some of the things that are happening in our country, there is a war at the border, and the people know about it, and they will not necessarily panic, as long as we explain the truth to them, then everyone will naturally fight the enemy together and fight the enemy together. Entertainment', as long as you master a degree, there is no problem, if the people are under heavy pressure for a long time, then one day, they are either completely crushed, or angry rebellion, and the entertainment column is just a catharsis, through this method, can imperceptibly vent people's negative emotions, people are happy, they will naturally work harder, by the way, they can also reduce the possibility of their crimes. ”

Gu Xuan said, revealing a pair of hands tucked into his sleeves, because the qi and blood deficit in his body was too serious, the ten fingers of his hands were as thin and white as a woman, and purple veins were clearly visible on them.

He suddenly put his hands together, and said with some excitement: "The people, officials, monarchs, roadside merchants and vendors, and even prostitutes and prostitutes in Qinglou, we are just like these hands and ten fingers, although there is a difference between length and shortness, but there is no difference between high and low, because we are all from Liangguo, we are a whole, we form Liangguo, what we eat, what we watch, there should be no difference, right?"

His words, for those who have always admired the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, and are accustomed to following the Confucian rules, are simply an indescribable shock, which can be called deafening and thought-provoking, even if they still can't figure out the truth, but after all, a seed was planted in their hearts.

It's like a person who has only eaten rice since childhood, although they have never seen noodles, but even if they just smell the strange fragrance, they will naturally have the curiosity to explore, and they will think about what it is, whether it can be eaten, whether it is delicious, even if they can't find the source of the fragrance in this generation, and then the next generation, it will continue to continue, and they will eventually find it.

Gu Cang's words were like a ray of light, directly tearing apart their original world, allowing them to see the scenery outside from the gap, making them think, they walked out of the Peach Blossom Spring, there are still thousands of worlds outside, even if the gap is directly closed again in the next moment, it doesn't matter, at least the other party has already seen it, isn't it?

Thanks to the prestige he has established through his unremitting efforts over the years, and the image of an innovator he has established, so even if his words are fundamentally subversive and a common thing, no one will directly scoff at them, dismiss them, or directly discard them, just as if they didn't hear it, on the contrary, they are willing to think about it, and want to be closer to the future master of the Liang Kingdom from this aspect, if they say these words to another person, I am afraid that they will be regarded as madmen and thieves.

Seeing that the brother and sister on the opposite side were completely stunned, Gu Cang knew that these words should not be said so bluntly, this is completely using his own worldview to forcibly shake and change the worldview of others, especially since the two opposites are already adults, let alone indoctrination in such a rough way, only subtly, will not cause the other party to subconsciously resist, and the effect will be better.

In fact, the People's Daily is one of the methods.

At that moment, he hurriedly thought about changing the topic, and with a glance of his eyes, he instructed in a serious tone to the subordinate who had been standing next to him with his hands down: "This is the first time, and it has been done very well, but the ink in some places is smudged, and this kind of reprint will be directly thrown away in the future, in short, we must make sure that every word on every newspaper can be read clearly, understand?"

The subordinate was taken aback by Gu Cang's solemn tone, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed, "Yes, prince." ”

Gu Cang waved his hand with satisfaction and said casually, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Yunguo, who was only relieved now, was about to shoot a horse sincerely, but he didn't see the colorful ripples in the eyes of his sister next to him.

Zhang Zhi'e sighed: "My father once said that the prince's vision spans thousands of years and has a very unique view on innovation. ”

Xiaolu stood behind Gu Cang, and at this time, she also poked her head out, and said with a proud face: "My prince, naturally, is very comparable. ”

Zhang Yunguo, who was on the other side, saw it, laughed and nodded yes, while the frost next to him quietly pinched his sister's arm.

Gu Cang could only smile bitterly at this: "It's just some immature ideas, if you really want to implement it, there will be a lot of resistance, and when the time comes, you still need the help of all parties. ”

The "Liang Guopolicy" he presented at his father's birthday has been strongly supported by his father and many officials in the DPRK and China, because they are not particularly intense, but effective innovations, so the resistance is not too great, especially such as running schools, digging canals, etc., most people are extremely recognized, and the resistance is only in the reform of military and political positions and the redivision of powers, in the final analysis, it is that the people touched by the reform are afraid that they will lose their positions because of this.

But any decree issued by the imperial court, as long as it touches the interests of a certain party and moves the rice in their bowl, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash, after all, the people at the bottom, whether it is the people or officials, actually value the interests of their own class, they will only care about and calculate how much they have sacrificed, and will never consider how much benefit this decree has brought to the country and how much benefit it has brought to others, unless there is a decree that can benefit everyone, otherwise there will inevitably be opposition voices, this is human nature, people are accustomed to the existing order, and they will naturally fear change, which is human nature。

And the establishment of a people's newspaper, and even in the future, with the help of the imperial court, will popularize schools in various places, etc., there is little resistance, and it is only the interests of some private schools that are touched, and the imperial court already has official institutions, such as Guozijian and Xuegong, which is not a particularly big innovation.

As for whether the people will be enlightened because of this, in fact, it doesn't matter, because only the poor people come out in large numbers, in order to maintain a balance with the families who have been inherited for many years, in fact, this is the case within all countries, the real worries do not come from the outside, but from the inside, the wealthy families, each of them is independent, only cares about themselves, regardless of the country, and has a great ability to fight for power and profit, once they fight with foreign enemies, they will immediately wither.

The reason why there is this situation is because they have nothing to fear, because many important positions in the imperial court are mostly held by the children of the family, after all, they can receive a good education more easily, and the success rate is much higher than that of ordinary people, and there are few ordinary people who are literate, let alone go to the entrance examination, and the imperial court can't recruit a person who can't even understand the decree as an official, so no matter how it changes, the children of the family will occupy most of the positions in the court, so no matter how the court is, they don't dare to offend the family to death, so in the future, there will be no one who is an official in the court, who will handle government affairs?

Even Liangguo can only choose to support a group of relatively obedient people and suppress another group of disobedient ones.

This was the reason he used to convince his father that if he wanted to suppress the family and truly control the country, he had to open a school and vigorously support the Hanshi.

The number of Hanshi is 10,000 times that of the family, but the success rate is less than 1/1000 of the others, which is the importance of the school.

At present, there are only 1 percent of the literate people in Liangguo, but there are already so many talented people who can emerge, so if there are 10 percent of the people who are literate in the future, won't the number of talented people increase tenfold, and if there are 20 percent, 30 percent, or even all of them? At that time, there will be an abundance of talented people, and the country will become rich and strong because of this, and it will constantly carry out self-reflection and innovation internally, and it will be able to resist strong enemies externally and be invincible, and such an empire will never decline.

Fortunately, now there are both external enemies and foreign races, and it is with these external oppressions that they can better promote their internal innovation, after all, at least these people still understand the simplest truth, that is, if the Liang Kingdom is gone, they will not have the power they have today.

If you want to succeed in innovation, you must take advantage of the situation, if you can't borrow the internal, then you can only borrow the external!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, on the Jinluan Palace, a court meeting was held as usual.

The court meeting is usually held very early, and most of the officials can't even eat breakfast at home, so they have to leave their mansions in a hurry, and when they come to the outside of the palace, they have to get off the car, and then pass the inspection of the palace guards, and then go to the magnificent square, and then walk up a thousand and eight stone steps, in order to enter the Jinluan Hall in turn, and then stand in order, I don't know how much time it will take, so generally speaking, these Zhu Zi ministers have to set off from home before dawn.

As for the emperor, it is not easier than these ministers at all, but it is more tired, even if the imperial court has recruited ministers to form a superficial cabinet under Gu Cang's suggestion, and can already handle official affairs on his behalf, but Gu Yi, who has worked hard for half his life, still prefers to do everything in detail, read all the twists and turns, and correct them in person.

In contrast, no matter how busy the ministers are, they are only busy until dark, but Gu Yi will not fall asleep until the next hour almost every night, and the next day's court meeting is even more suffering, and he can't sleep for two or three hours, so he has to get up under the urging of the internal officials, and then comb his hair under the clothes of the palace maids, comb his hair, put on his clothes, and put on the Pingtian crown, and then he has to leave the harem immediately to go to the front hall and meet the courtiers.

Generally speaking, if there is nothing particularly important, then you can come back and sleep again, but if there is an urgent matter, the officials of all parties and factions often quarrel all morning, then they are really tired, even Gu Yi himself has to admit that many times he almost fell asleep directly in his seat.

Originally a man of the Gu family, who was a fine man, only more than 20 years after becoming the emperor, he had become gray with gray temples, and his body was thin, and his favorite horse hunting in the past had not been gone for a long time.

In fact, everyone wants to be the emperor, to be the first person in the world, but after really sitting in this position, I found that I really didn't have the freedom to be an idle prince.

The emperor himself has a lot of official affairs to deal with every day, and he has to worry about the invasion of foreign enemies, and he has to fight wits and courage with the internal ministers, weigh the forces of all parties, cultivate his own cronies, and reliable subordinates, and what's worse is that he doesn't know which generation of rules has been handed down.

After all, when the emperor, the first person in the world, wants to set an example for the people of the world, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, they do not lead by example, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment, etc., it is really annoying, even the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties can't help but want to scold people behind their backs, as if these ministers must restrain their own emperors according to the standards of saints, otherwise it is the dereliction of duty of their courtiers.

I can't eat too much, and I like to eat two bites at most, otherwise there will be an internal official to remind him immediately, and even let people take it down directly, the beautiful name is to have balanced nutrition, not to eat too much, many times it is to eat half full, and the bed thing can not be done for a long time, more than half a pillar of incense outside there are internal officials to shout to take care of the dragon body, the most powerful person in the world, in fact, the person who lives the most unpleasantly.

Gu Yi sat on the dragon chair, looking at the respectful ministers below, and couldn't help but wonder if it was time to relinquish power as soon as possible and enjoy it as an emperor with peace of mind.

It's a pity that he looked at the three sons standing in the hall below, and his eyes were full of deep sadness.

The others are either not successful, they don't have a kingly demeanor at all, where can they rest assured that the country will be in their hands, the only one who can be called the most perfect successor, but he is bent on death, and he has no thoughts about the throne early.

How sad!

For the problem of book friends, whether to cross or not, in fact, it doesn't matter, if you really want to get a gunpowder cannon to fight the world, and the world will be convinced by a communist, that's too simple, Wang Mang, is the best example, but anyone who forcibly innovates before the social system comes to an end, all can only become victims of the times, as there is no golden finger, so as to seek the real world, as long as Gu Cang is not a fool, he should know that he can't innovate too subversively, otherwise even if he is the prince, he will die, as for his role, there will be later, don't worry, look at it slowly。
