Gao Ming sat there quietly and listened to Wang Tianci say, talking about some of the imperial court system, and talking about some of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system. He was just the most ordinary urban otaku in the previous world, and the education he received since he was a child was that the books he saw since he was a child were all criticized without exception for the perverse behavior of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and he was instilled from a young age that the imperial examination system was the best.

But after listening to Wang Tianci's remarks about the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, he was surprised to find that it was not unreasonable. But as a traveler in the future world, even if he feels that what the other party said is not unreasonable, he still firmly believes that the system of the world he came to is the direction, the right one, and the science.

"Heaven gives me to ask you, why do you have such a family background? Meat eaters are despised, and they are not enough to make a living. I heard that in the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou insisted on meritocracy, isn't it very good? The Jiupin Zhongzheng system insisted on the article of family lineage, and put the article of family background in the first place, this is the naked monopoly of the high gate, and this is the biggest unfairness. It is precisely because of this unfairness that Shen Xiu and the others will think about reform. Why is there no low-grade for those who are from a high family, and those who are from a poor family can only be condescended to the lower class. Wouldn't you from a high family notice this?"

"No one's family can be built overnight, and no one's family can become a high door overnight. Wang Tianci did not pause in the face of Gao Ming's questioning, and said endlessly: "Is our Jinyang Wang family considered a high gate in the pre-Shang period? Is it a noble? It is not a high-ranking family in the post-Shang period, nor is it a founding noble. People, living in this world, living in this society, he is not a person, he does not jump out of a stone, he has interests. If he is really a person, such as Zhang Bu, one of the three heroes of Hongdu. He has a rotten life, he has no scruples, he feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, even if he commits a heinous crime, it will only cost him one life. If he kills one person and loses his own life, then if he kills ten people and kills a hundred people, he will also lose his own life. If you do evil once, you will be sentenced to be cut in half. If he does evil ten times, he will also be sentenced to be cut in half, doesn't this encourage him to do more evil? Anyway, there is nothing to lose, and the rest is earned. ”

"Gao Ming, look at me again. I also want to assassinate Shen Xiu regardless of you, and I am willing to sacrifice my own life. But why can't I do this? Because I have a family, because I have parents, I have brothers and sisters, and we have thousands of people in the Jinyang Wang family, and I need to take all this into account, and I can't send these thousands of family members who have urinated together since childhood to the butcher's knife because of my personal impulse or personal will. ”

Wang Tianci talked about these things endlessly, because he actually didn't understand why since he was a child, all these were the words of his grandfather Wang Rong every day to solve his doubts.

"Heaven for you, you have to remember that family history is not only necessary, but must be at the top of the three. You can understand this point or not, but you must not change it in the future. This is fundamental to maintaining social stability. Wang Rong finally gave him this sentence under his question.

Gao Ming opened his mouth, he originally wanted to say that the sitting system should be abolished without humanity, but after all, he was not the kind of person who only pursued oral debate with the other party, he knew that this era was like this. He could only swallow these words in his stomach. He is just an ordinary otaku, and he suddenly found that he was not an opponent at all when it came to debating the system with a person like Wang Tianci, who had received a good systematic education since childhood. He also wanted to say what kind of separation of powers, what kind of democratic election, what kind of parliamentarian, what kind of Congress, but this kind of thing suddenly appeared for no reason, and after careful investigation, he couldn't say that he could not come out, but it was very bad.

Thinking like this, as a traverser, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"I am a person who has traveled through the era of great development of science and technology in the future, and you don't know how to lose thousands of years in terms of knowledge?"

"Zhangbu's situation does exist. But is it because he and Shen Xiu have been suppressed for too long that they have accumulated resentment and hatred, and they have no scruples about doing things. ”

"How can life be smooth?" Wang Tianci looked at Gao Ming and said seriously: "In the past, Mrs. Yang said that life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. It is the son of our family, which one can act completely according to his own wishes? Why did she run away from home so many times, and how could she run away from home if everything was going well?"

"Let's think differently. Gao Ming saw that he was gradually falling behind, and decided to avoid the real and the false, and changed his head and said: "Look at the shortcomings of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system? It is impossible for you to see that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is perfect." ”

"Of course, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is not perfect. Wang Tianci frowned slightly, he didn't realize that Gao Ming had used his tricks of quibbling, and still said seriously: "It's still like Shen Xiu." In fact, Shen Xiu's character has long been seen clearly by many people. He can only be a cadre, but cannot hold important positions in the imperial court. This person is mean and unkind, remembers evil and forgets good, revenge will be avenged, and kindness will not be repaid. At the beginning, Langya Guozhong was originally going to set Shen Xiu's character as inferior. Gao Ming, you also understand that if the character is set to be inferior, no one will hire this person in his life. But Shen Xiu learned the news as soon as possible, so he ran to Lord Zhongzheng's mansion and said that if he was condemned as a subordinate today, he would repay his hatred today at the cost of his life. That Zhongzheng was finally afraid, he was afraid that his descendants would be retaliated against by Shen Xiu in the future, and finally set his character as Zhongpin. Those who are truly good are sometimes suppressed by some bad and upright. But the real character is like Shen Xiu, but the vast majority of Zhongzheng are afraid that people with such a character have no bottom line in doing things, and they will take revenge for the delicate evil, for their own sake, but they dare not define their character as inferior. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. For a long time, there is almost no difference between the evaluation of good character and bad character, which is very bad. ”

Gao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that he could finally fight back.

"So, this is a typical rule of man. At this moment, he finally had the feeling of holding some wisdom beads, and finally regained some of the superiority of the traverser.

"Rule by man?" Wang Tianci was really a little confused, "Is there anyone in this society who doesn't need people to govern?"

"It is necessary to rule the country by law, not by men. Now it is Gao Ming's turn to talk eloquently, "Everything must have a system, and everything must have a law." ”

"But Da Jin also has a detailed "Jin Law". Wang Tianci was still puzzled.

"This "Jin Law" is not quite the same as what I said. Gao Ming said confidently: "It's still the example you said. Yes, everyone is afraid of offending the villain, and everyone is not afraid of offending the gentleman. When you meet someone like Shen Xiu, whoever you replace will have a headache. You act impartially, Shen Xiu will definitely retaliate. If you don't act impartially, then do you have to be upright? Therefore, you must remove the human factor. ”

"So what the hell are you going to do?"

"Exams, unified exams. Gao Ming said firmly, "The national unified examination selects talents openly, fairly and justly." Everyone is equal in front of the exam. ”

Gao Ming originally thought that the other party would see the fog when he heard his words, as if he had seen a new world, but he never expected that Wang Tianci on the other side frowned even more.

"At that time, an ancestor of my Wang family systematically wrote a proposal to the imperial court, as you said, the national unified examination, and the examination was used to select talents. As soon as Wang Tianci opened his mouth, he sent back Gao Ming's expectations, "But the result of the later court debate is that if this method is used, the society will be even worse." ”

"How could it be. Gao Ming was a little anxious, he said in his heart that this is the choice of many years in the future, it has been proven by history, you children of the high family, do you just want to monopolize everything.

Wang Tianci shook his head and said, "Let me ask you a question, what is the purpose of the official positions established by this country?"

This time it was Gao Ming's turn to be stunned. He thought for a while, and then he said what he thought was the most correct thing: "To better serve the people." ”

When Wang Tianci heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palms and laughed. After a long time, he patted Gao Ming's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Gao Ming, what you said is very good." I'll just say you're not an ordinary person, you're not the kind of person who is extremely selfish. Serving the people, this sentence is really condensed and too good. ”

"Yes, this world is the world of the people of the world, and the power of this official position is naturally determined by the people. ”

"Well, well said. Wang Tianci smiled even more when he heard him, "The power of official positions is determined by the people. Then let me ask you a question, you said that you obtained an official position by examination, but who decided on this official position, and who did it serve?"

As soon as Wang Tianci's words came out, it was like a lightning bolt out of thin air, shaking Gao Ming to the spot.

Could it be that I'm wrong?

Could it be that the system of the later generations is wrong?

For a moment, he felt that he couldn't accept it anyway.
