Chapter 121: Their Choices

Just when Qin Zhao was secretly planning how to settle down next, the mood of the entire human race also boiled again with the announcement of the new three lists.

From civil and military officials to peddlers and pawns, they are all talking about it.

Combined with the previous free distribution of three books and the reduction of taxes on lower middle peasants.

Many well-intentioned people are secretly speculating about what Emperor Xia's ultimate goal is, or what to do next.

This is not for nothing.

Looking at Qin Zhao's various measures since he came to power, it will be found that every time a major policy is made public, it will cause major changes in a certain industry or even across the country.

For example, the six-part restructuring sent Chu Huaijin to the end, and at the same time formed the current court pattern.

Kyushu condensed the veins and buried the Liang family and the Ji family; The leyline rail car has achieved a series of imperial merchants......

If he can guess his next move, maybe he can take the lead in the tide of the times.

Confucianism is certainly a very important part of this.

Although people don't have much idea how it will be fulfilled in the end, they can still think of one or two intentions of Emperor Xia-

"Elector!"

In a certain Tingyuxuan restaurant in Qingzhou, a literati in green shirts said this conclusion with great certainty.

"Brother Zhuang's thoughts coincide with mine, the saint first let everyone have books to read, and then said that he was going to open a public school. There is no doubt that this is to make more and more people read books for the Terrans. ”

The rest of the people at the table all applauded their hands in agreement.

"Yes, the Holy One first changed the old system and extensively appointed literati as officials to govern the world. Later, it lowered the learning threshold and gave ordinary people the opportunity to contact words, so that they would not be useless after reading books. ”

"Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of officials in the world, but there are still not enough. There are even a few low-level officials who are illiterate, and the saints naturally can't stand it. ”

The brocade-clothed man sitting at the top didn't seem to agree with this point of view, shook his head and said slowly: "I think that the Holy Lord's move is not just to fill the low-level officials. ”

Judging from the way he dressed, it was obvious that he had an extraordinary family background, and the other people at the table also respected him very much.

As he spoke, the others began to ponder.

After a while, someone asked, "Why did Brother Li say this?" Top-level officials, I'm afraid, are not beyond the reach of a white body with no foundation. Those of us who disdain to be low-level officials, and we need to find a way to become officials in Beijing, how can those sons of peasant households go further? ”

"Well, I don't know." The man known as "Brother Li" smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's just that I think that the Holy Lord has spent so much effort that there is no reason to be satisfied with this step. ”

Seeing that he didn't have a clue, the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid you're overthinking. Now the pattern between the DPRK and China is clear and clear, and the Legalists are the dominant family. If you want to enter the court, which step does not need to be recognized by nobles, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can touch.

"Although the Holy Lord's hands and eyes reach the sky, it is beyond the reach of mortals like us. But after all, the human race has a population of nearly 10,000, and even His Majesty the Holy Emperor is probably powerless. ”

The literati surnamed Li shook his head and was silent, he also had this doubt.

But by feeling, I don't think it's that simple.

It's just that it's true that as the man just said, people from ordinary backgrounds don't have the talent to be in a high position.

There are too many obstacles ahead, and I am afraid that you will be trapped in the way before you can show yourself to the emperor.

Unless he can be like Han Guiren, he is knowledgeable and peachy.

In the people, the reputation is straight to the sky, and there may be a chance or two points.

"In any case, the Holy Lord's establishment of the 'Asking List' is the time for me to show my talents. As long as the East China Sea Vertical and Horizontal Technique can be on the list, we will have the opportunity to enter the 'Heavenly Learning Palace', and then we will enter the Holy Eye, wouldn't it be straight to the clouds? ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

"Come, let's drink this cup together!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became warm.

......

It's different from the folk discussions. As for the purpose of Qin Zhao's popularization of education, in fact, the clearest thing is the people in the cabinet.

Although the current cabinet does not have much power, it only assists Qin Zhao in handling some government affairs, and does not have the right to decide.

But the information that came into contact was the most comprehensive.

They all know that Qin Zhao is preparing to implement the "imperial examination system" in the second half of the year, and now he has begun to make preliminary preparations.

It's just that he doesn't know the usefulness of the [National Fortune Altar], thinking that he just wants to select talents through the exam, so that there will be more voices in the court.

"Lord Ram, do you think the final effect of the 'imperial examination system' designed by His Majesty can be as expected?"

Kuang Xiu asked casually while flipping through the books in the library.

Cabinet officials have the right to enter and leave the library, and their own official positions are created because of this.

It's just that it's not allowed to climb to the sixth floor for the time being, and all information is not allowed to be disseminated, otherwise it's a big crime.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Ram Kai shook his head, not optimistic, "Your Majesty's intentions are naturally good, but now there is a vague rudimentary party in the court, and during the examination process, it is inevitable that there will be situations beyond control." ”

In fact, he was exaggerating.

Although some officials in the current Great Xia Dynasty will inevitably spontaneously form together because of their backgrounds or their governing philosophy, they have not yet reached the level of party affiliation.

With Qin Zhao pressing, no one dares to blatantly fight for power and profit.

At present, several groups of people who have a relatively large voice in the DPRK and China are the first line of the Legalist family headed by Wu Yong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the first line of military generals of the old dynasty headed by Bai Mu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the first family of the clan headed by Qin Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

As for those people in the Ministry of Industry, they play more of the role of a-stirring stick, in fact, the court can't say anything at all.

Of course, I'm not afraid of offending anyone.

The functions are different, but there are no conflicts of power and interests.

"That's not necessarily, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has never been an omission, and it is impossible not to think of this." Lin Fangyuan interjected on the side.

"Well, that's true." Ram Kai thought for a moment, "But I really don't know what can be done to solve the problem of protecting officials and officials." ”

"Indeed, now above the court, the Legalist family is dominant. Asking the Dao Bang is a wonderful method, but since it comes from the School Palace, after all, it is just a change from a Legalist to another school-"

"Alright, don't talk about it." At this time, Ram Kai saw Wu Yong coming upstairs, muttered in a low voice, and stopped talking.

Kuang Xiu also closed his mouth on the side.

Wu Yong glanced over there, shook his head and didn't care, turned around and walked to the other side to sort out the books.

He is also in the cabinet, but he can't talk to a few other people.

......

With a series of recent reforms, it has spread all over the world.

The speed of change is dizzying.

Although different classes of people have different perspectives.

But everyone can still really realize that this year, the first year of Jianyuan Hongning, will definitely not be calm.

Emperor Xia is going to make a lot of big moves.

It is not just a simple change of the tax system and universal education, but a set of joint measures.

Of course, most people's attention is still on the three-volume list, and they don't think about anything else at all.

After all, even if one of these three lists is on one of them, it has a lot of benefits.

The "Dragon and Tiger List" doesn't have to be considered, it is set up for military generals, and if you are ready to join the army, you can consider one or two.

It is said that the generals will enter the secret realm to practice, but the secret realm is so big, and when the time comes, they will inevitably bring the meritorious soldiers under their command with them.

Cultivation and military training are not wrong.

Since the "Asking Dao List" is a school ranking, it basically means that it has no chance with ordinary people.

In these years, which school is not famous and has a long heritage?

I don't have any background at home, so I don't even think about it.

Of course, if a few people have been prominent since childhood, and the name of genius spreads all over the village, it is possible to attract the master to take the initiative to accept apprentices.

But after all, there are still very few.

Therefore, the most attention of the people at this time is the "Creation List", which has no threshold and attractive rewards.

What exactly are the places of the "Great Yan Array" and the "Dining Scripture Tower", most people actually don't know.

However, thanks to the continuous propaganda of the Propaganda Committee among the people over the past few days, ordinary people have basically known the mysterious place of "Tianxia School Palace".

It is said that as long as you can enter it, it is the beginning of the seven-rank official.

It is not impossible to perform well, become a big member of the party, or directly enter the six parts.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the promise of Emperor Xia.

If you have the opportunity to make a request to the Great Xia Supreme, even if you can't go too far, the specifications are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Besides, who doesn't have a little dream, a little whimsy?

In case his ideas are valued by Emperor Xia, come to the last sentence, "This project, I have invested", then it is not the glory of the ancestors?

As a result, the initial statistics of the household department were quite scrambling, and the number of participants was far beyond imagination.

Later, Yu Rui spoke and deleted those that were too unreliable. Even if you can't say one or two when you sign up, there are additional penalties to curb the growing madness.

Zhongzhou capital Yangcheng, in the Miaoyin Pavilion.

At this time, there was a lot of noise, chatting about the new three lists set up by the imperial court.

However, most of the people who come here are from extraordinary backgrounds, and more are still talking about the "Asking the Dao List", speculating which school can come out on top.

There is no doubt that the number of people who are optimistic about Qingzhou Legalists is the largest.

It should be noted that although they are both "Legalists", there are still differences.

Including famous families, farmers, vertical and horizontal families, doctors, etc., it is not a general statistics, but a subdivision according to their own concepts.

For example, there are "Qingzhou Legalists", that is, the former Han Guiren of Donghai County, in addition to "Xuanzhou Legalists", "Yanshan Legalists" and other different courts.

Not to be confused.

Miao Yin heard the movement outside, especially the word "Your Majesty" keenly, and her heart moved.

Secretly concerned.

In fact, Miao Yin in the past, rarely went out of her room, and she was a well-deserved otaku.

Even the performance is played when the powerful people or the royal merchant owners are present. Under the old bustard's pleading, it was difficult to deal with it.

For example, last time, if Qin Zhao hadn't come to Miaoyin Pavilion and even Qin Yu was there, she would not have appeared if she didn't appear, and she wouldn't give face at all.

As for the cabinet after the performance, it is needless to say.

But since the last time Qin Zhao left a poem in her hand, she seemed to have changed as a person. When you have nothing to do, you can come out and listen to the movement, or play a few songs.

made some of the regulars of the Miaoyin Pavilion excited, and secretly wondered if they were taken by the Miaoyin girl.

She hadn't thought about that herself, but she wanted to hone her skills so that she could compose a perfect tune for that lyric.

At this time, listening to the discussion outside, she returned to the boudoir, took out a piece of paper bought from the Wenzhai run by the imperial merchants, and began to write.

She is ready to submit to the "Creation List".

I saw Miaoyin write seriously one stroke at a time:

"The concubine wants to carry forward the poetry of Wendao with music.

"Knowledge needs to be studied, and it needs to be expressed in words in order to pass it on. From ancient times to the present, there have been scholars who have written books and lectures, and only then have knowledge that can be passed down from generation to generation.

"There is no essay on the Holy Father's "Treatise on Etiquette", "Self-cultivation", "Legal System", "For the Phase", "Treatise on the King", and "National Strategy". It is still the case in today's three volumes of "Literacy", "Xia Law", and "Confucianism".

"However, our Terran script itself is an art.

"The most extreme feelings need to be expressed in the most beautiful words.

"Poetry can be eloquent, words can be lyrical, songs can be sung, voices can be sung, and rhythm can be harmonized.

"Poetry can express the life and spiritual world of the people of the human race with special rhythms, concise language, dense rules, abundant emotions and rich imagery.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor once wrote a new poem in his own handwriting:

"Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blown down, the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

"Moth, snow willow, golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim.

"The concubine is not talented, and she is willing to sort out her rhythmic rhyme, and I hope that there will be latecomers who can carry forward this way.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

She didn't elaborate on the fact that the poem was written by Qin Zhao in the Miaoyin Pavilion, or even for herβ€”though she would have liked to have written it that way.

But no.

After all, Miaoyin Pavilion is a land of wind and dust, even if Qin Zhao herself may not care about this, she doesn't want Emperor Xia to have this stain on him.

After writing, she blew the ink marks on the paper, and she was stunned as she held the paper.

There are some gains and losses in her heart, but she still cares about her origin and identity after all......

Just as Miao Yin was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door.

Then the maid Xiaoyu walked in, and at a glance she saw the paper on the table-

"Miss, what are you writing about?"

As he spoke, he walked over to see.

"No, it's nothing," she hurriedly put away...... paper.

For a while, it seemed a little scrambling.

Looking at Miao Yin, whose face was flushed, Xiao Yu's expression was slightly weird, she had never seen her own young lady's posture before.

"Missβ€”"

"Hey, don't ask, tell me something."

After putting away the paper, Miao Yin was visibly relieved and asked casually.

"Well, that's ......"

At this time, Qin Zhao didn't know that the seeds he planted casually at that time might have begun to germinate.
