Qin Zhao smacked his lips, glanced at the two of them, and didn't immediately say what he thought, but asked, "What do you think?" ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, and pondered for a long time.

After waiting for a while, seeing that they didn't have a clue, Qin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Then he asked, "What do you think will happen if this law is implemented?" ”

Seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, he was a little impatient, and directly named him: "Xinming, you speak first." ”

Since Qin Zhao had already spoken, Xinming didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and thought: "I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials on the spot......

Zhang Yan nodded approvingly on the side, and continued to add: "Officials are secondary, the key is those wealthy families, and the children of their families occupy the most middle and lower-level official positions, which is also the foundation for them to expand and maintain their influence. But once this policy is implemented, it will have the greatest impact on them, and may even lead to the decline of these families. ”

Xinming also chimed in: "Not bad. The energy of these people is not small. Although it is nothing on its own, if they work together to obstruct it, the impact will be extremely far-reaching, even more terrifying than those top gate valves. ”

The two do not belong to the same faction among the famous families.

This is just as there are multiple schools of thought within Legalism, and the same is true for famous scholars.

It's just that it is different from the Legalist kind of prominent learning, and it is very prestigious in Great Xia and Kyushu, although the strength of different factions is high and low, but compared to other schools, it is still crushing.

The famous people are much weaker in comparison, so although the different factions within them have different views, they are still in a state of grouping.

Like the two factions that are now serving in the Propaganda Committee, they are both from Luozhou. In fact, Luoju is also the home base of famous artists.

It's similar to the ghost valley of Qingzhou and the organ city of Shuangzhou.

These two belong to the representatives of the "contract faction" and the "Lijian white faction" respectively, and they have also competed before.

But at this point, the views are very similar.

This is also normal.

In any case, the two of them belong to famous families. To put it mildly, in the end, they have a good background, and it is by no means an ordinary civilian family that they can afford to read when they are active.

So in terms of mentality, it is closer to the upper class.

For their mentality, Qin Zhao was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart.

His fingers tapped on the table in front of him, his figure leaned forward slightly, stared at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember your identity, the internal officials are for me, not for you to please those powerful!" ”

At this time, his face was serious, his tone was stern, and an invisible sense of oppression permeated.

Xin Ming and Zhang Yan's faces suddenly tightened, and they felt his anger, and their hearts suddenly became nervous.

chewing on what he said, I seemed to have some understanding in my heart, but I couldn't fully understand it for a while, and I was very confused.

In their minds, the ruling class should be a huddle group.

There is nothing wrong with maintaining the entire superstructure and pointing out the flaws in this imperial examination policy from the side.

Even before, the two were secretly proud of their remarks, thinking that if they performed well this time, they might have the opportunity to serve in the cabinet in the future.

Compared with the future of the cabinet, the Propaganda Committee is still far behind.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao shook his head slightly, a little disappointed in his heart.

It is no wonder that famous artists have not been reused in the past, and they have only a little prestige among the people, and none of them have entered the court.

These people are too shallow to see the problem, or rather, they can't see the essence of the matter, and they can't see the fundamental needs of different groups.

So you can only be a debater, but you can't be a diplomat.

Guigu also pays attention to eloquence, but taking purple as an example, when Qin Zhao boarded the infrastructure system, she saw the truth at a glance.

And the two people in front of them, needless to say purple, are far worse than those Legalist students in terms of political acumen.

"We have to find an opportunity for the guys from these intelligence agencies to further their education and improve their basic quality. It's a pity that Zi is not suitable to be a teacher, otherwise she should be able to train these people well. Just let them all go to the Tianxia Academy Palace to study and study......"

He couldn't help but think in his heart.

Shaking his head, he gathered his thoughts, temporarily pressed down on his thoughts in this regard, and said: "I don't need those people from the family to be so convinced and grateful, what I want is the convincing of the people of the world, and I want these people to be able to go further." ”

Xin Ming was stunned when he heard this, and admonished: "But Your Majesty, the sage has a saying, 'The people are difficult to govern, and they have many wisdom'." The previous release of a few books was already Saint Long'en, and if he did too much in this regard, I am afraid it would be inappropriate. ”

These words were said by Li Zi, a sage of the Warring States period and respected as the first wise man in the world five hundred years ago.

His person can be called a legend in the world, and his status in the world at that time was only higher than that of today's Wen Shenggong.

Although he had never been in any country, no one dared to disrespect him in the slightest.

The original words of this paragraph are: Those who are good in ancient times will not be foolish if they do not think of the people. The people are difficult to govern, and they are wise. Therefore, the country is governed by wisdom, and the thief of the country. If you don't govern the country with wisdom, the blessing of the country.

It is talking about the policy of fooling the people, and the purpose is to "humble their hearts, strengthen their stomachs, weaken their wills, and strengthen their bones." ”

"You are wrong, in different eras, policies will naturally be different."

Qin Zhao frowned, but instead of reprimanding the two, he began to patiently explain his opinion.

The propaganda committee managed by these two people is still very important, and he also wants these two people to understand his thoughts more.

At that time, the society was in turmoil, and there were endless wars between the countries of the human race, and Li Zi put forward this proposition not for the purpose of solidifying the class. On the contrary, what he really wanted to do was to eliminate the existence of classes. ”

Xin and Zhang were stunned for a moment, they had never heard of this kind of statement.

After all, too long, too long has passed since the time of the existence of plums.

In addition to the original words, there have been too many versions of its content over time.

Even so, they also felt that Qin Zhao's statement at this time was a bit far-fetched, and they didn't think so, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Just bow your head and say yes.

Qin Zhao saw that they were not convinced, and he didn't care, but continued: "At that time, we paid attention to the policy of being virtuous and virtuous. Li Zi said, 'If you are not virtuous, you will not fight the people.' The implication is that Shang Xian is the people fighting. Why does the implementation of virtuous policies lead to civil disputes? Have you thought about it? ”

Hearing this, the two looked slightly stunned.

"The ruler's implementation of the meritocracy policy means that a certain number of people are selected and allocated more power and more resources because of their outstanding abilities. In this way, a social class of Magi was formed, and classes appeared.

At the same time, when some people are defined as wise men because of their ability, those who are less capable are defined as fools. This is the class of ordinary people.

"Do you understand? At that time, because of the Shangxian policy, the whole society was divided into two opposing social classes. The two classes were full of contradictions and struggles, so the relationship between the rich and the poor, the noble and the low, the noble and the low, and the slave owners were divided and established.

"The Magi became the object of the Fools' desire to be, and the Fools were the objects of the Magi's contempt. But it is clear that the Magi do not automatically give up their privileges and become fools, nor do fools easily become Magi. There is an irreconcilable antagonism and struggle between these two strata.

These contradictions are the fundamental reasons for the disintegration of social groups. The more developed the society becomes, the more concentrated wealth and power become, the wider the gap in social status between the virtuous and the virtuous, and the more fragile the stability of social organization becomes.

"This is - 'Shang Xian is the people's fight'!"

At this time, Xinming and Zhang Yan were speechless in surprise.

They never thought about it.

"If you don't learn without thinking, don't study hard, use your brain more." Qin Zhao finally commented lightly.

The two of them were red-faced.

Qin Zhao didn't care about the two of them, and continued: "The new era naturally has the rules of the new era. Now that the Terrans are unified and the people are well-being, what I pursue is for the Terrans to continue to progress and create supreme glory.

"If you want to expand your territory, if you want to expand my Great Xia territory, can you cover this huge realm by relying only on a small number of scholars today?

"If the class is stable, ordinary people have no promotion channels, and the human race is like a pool of stagnant water, how can they progress?!"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"Do you know that among the five kingdoms at the beginning, my Great Xia was not the strongest, and even in the early days, it was only a small country on the northern border, how could I unify the human race and wipe out the powerful countries of Wu and Zhou?"

"Change the law." Zhang Yan's face was calm, and he said two words.

"That's right." Qin Zhao nodded approvingly, "It's the change." If you are self-contained, because of your noble status, you are afraid to move forward, what difference does this kind of ruler have and does not have for the country? ”

His voice suddenly rose up, and the words in his mouth became more and more astonishing.

Xin Ming's face turned slightly pale when he heard this.

"If there is a disobedience among the people, I will naturally suppress them. Of course, if I say that I am defeated, it is also my own problem, unpopular, insufficient strength, no wonder others! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was earth-shattering!

The confidence and pride in it simply made the hands of the two famous children in front of them tremble slightly.

Of course, Qin Zhao will say this kind of thing in the palace.

Not to mention in the people, even when he leaves this palace, he will not mention a word in this regard.

Although he himself was not afraid, he did not want to plant a seed of rebellion among the people.

He is not a faint king, and he is not afraid of rebellion, but the gratuitous internal friction is really meaningless.

Of course, in reality, the probability of a civilian rebellion is extremely low

For the common people, as long as they can eat a full meal, no, as long as they have something to eat and can live, who is willing to risk their lives to rebel?

Look at those peasant uprisings in the previous life, which one was not forced by life, but as long as they can live, no one is willing to do this kind of life-and-death thing.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if someone can't think of doing it, there won't be many people to follow, and naturally there is no threat at all.

"You have to understand that as an internal official, everything you have is given by me, so don't think about what those powerful people think, it's enough to do your own thing with peace of mind!"

Qin Zhao's tone gradually calmed down, and he looked at the two people and said in a low voice.

"Moreover, for me, the people of the world are ten million times more important than the hundreds of officials in the court!"

From the first day he ascended the throne, he profoundly understood a truth.

Civil officials are nothing more than a grasp and bridge for him to rule and manage the world.

If the officials don't like it, he can be replaced, anyway, there are people in the world, there are many scholars, and there are countless people who want to be officials.

The military general is also his tool to expand his territory.

There are countless people who are familiar with the art of war, and except for a few handsome talents, everyone else can find a replacement.

For him, what really matters is the grassroots people, the thousands of Li people, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers. That's his basic plate.

Because he doesn't care, he can allow the existence of the North Korean and Chinese factions, as long as he doesn't go too far.

He can also give great rewards to the generals who have made meritorious contributions, and the feudal fiefs will not be stingy.

But the only thing that cannot be tolerated is to set up a small court in their own fiefdoms, install their own people among the grassroots officials, and make a country within a country like the former Donghai County and Surabaya County.

It was only now that Xin Ming and Zhang Yan truly understood Qin Zhao's purpose and his thoughts.

The two bowed down at the same time and said, "Weichen is ashamed. ”

"Indeed, you should be ashamed." Qin Zhao nodded, "You go back and think about these for yourself, and now tell me what you are going to do." ”

He had made his thoughts very clear.

Whether these two people understand or don't understand it, it doesn't matter to him.

What Qin Zhao needed was for them to formulate a more reasonable method according to their own will.

To probe, to divide, so that the implementation of the imperial examination system will not be too chaotic.

"As soon as His Majesty's 'imperial examination' policy was launched, it was an unstoppable wave of pressure."

"That's right." Zhang Yan, who was standing on the side, also nodded, "It's just that in the process of the old forces counterattacking, it is inevitable that there will be internal friction, and what needs to be avoided is this." ”

Listening to their remarks, Qin Zhao's expression eased a little, and he finally felt a little conscious.

Xin and Zhang, who were secretly observing his expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Truth be told, they were also ashamed of their previous performance.

can become the representatives of famous masters, they are naturally not stupid, but smarter than most people, even compared to those of the Legalists, they are not inferior in the slightest.

The reason why it is a little sluggish in this regard is mainly because there is too little contact, the field of vision is too narrow, and the overall picture is lacking.

As long as it is a little bit of dialing, it is still very malleable.

"Then this time, you might as well start from the top and pretend to leak some news inadvertently." Xinming suggested, "We also have good personal relations with some officials, so we have this opportunity. ”

Faced with Qin Zhao saying this, they didn't shy away from it.

secretly befriended Xungui, which was originally instructed by him.

The position of the Propaganda Committee is here, and it can be called a bribe by order.

"But I'm afraid that after this incident, we will be notorious in the circle." Zhang Yan said with a smile on the side.
