Chapter 9: Kill a Riddler and Celebrate
After Li Fei finished talking about the three provinces and six ministries system, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were already convinced of him, and this court system was enough to prove his talent in warp and weft.
The division of labor in the six ministries of these three provinces is clearer, and the operation of the court is bound to be more efficient.
Then the ministers reacted, and it seemed that the king knew all this, which made the ministers who were still a little unconvinced when the king said that sentence just now, and they had nothing to say.
At this moment, they all invariably aroused infinite curiosity about that heavenly book.
The king asked the ministers: "Zhuqing, do you still have any objections to the widow to be named a real person as a national teacher?" ”
Shang Rong took the lead in stating: "Back to the king, the real person does have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and he is enough to be a great merchant and a national teacher." ”
Abitan said, "The minister seconded it." ”
All the ministers of civil and military affairs said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal. ”
Huang Feihu smiled and stretched out his hand to King Xu's side, and said, "National teacher, please." ”
Li Fei was surprised, and walked to the side of the king and stood still.
Shang Rong said again: "The national teacher mentioned the feudal system and the feudal system, and asked the national teacher to solve our doubts. ”
Li Fei said: "In short, the feudal system is the current social system, which divides the land to the princes, and allows the princes to manage all the military and political affairs of the fiefdom by themselves. ”
"Such a system is extremely unfavorable to rule, to put it mildly, every prince is equivalent to a land king in a range......"
Li Fei also analyzed the feudal system and the feudal system of the centralized state, from politics to military to people's livelihood, and carefully analyzed it for the ministers.
This time, the ministers were not so excited, but frowned one by one.
Of course, they can see the benefits of feudalism, but if they want to transition from feudalism to feudalism, they will inevitably face a huge change.
But as the king said, after the chaos there must be great governance, if you want to completely change the system, chaos is certain, sooner or later you will have to face that once.
If the king's generation does not face it, future generations will also face it.
But the problem is that in this change that affects the whole world, unless Chaoge has the military strength to suppress all the princes in the whole world, it is tantamount to digging his own grave.
Shang Rong brought up this question, and King Wu smiled and said, "This question, King Wucheng can answer Aiqing." ”
Huang Feihu said loudly: "You don't know that the national teacher has a magic weapon that can be controlled by ordinary soldiers, called Thunderbolt Fire. ”
"With the help of this magic weapon, I can make my soldiers a hundred, a hundred into a thousand."
"And such an army only needs thousands, and even if the other side has an army of millions, it is invincible."
The Wenchen were stunned when they heard it, and there was such a magic weapon?
The generals were all smug on their faces, and they naturally knew about the existence of the thunderbolt fire in the past few days, and had seen the power with their own eyes, so they didn't have the slightest doubt about Huang Feihu's words.
Bigan said with curiosity on his face: "I wonder if the king can let me wait to see this magic weapon?" ”
The king rolled his eyes, and suddenly turned his gaze to one of the ministers, with a cruel smile on his face, and said, "What's so difficult about this, You Hun." ”
You Hun, who was called by name, hurriedly went out of class, although he was a little unsure in his heart, he said with a flattering smile on his face: "The minister is here, I don't know what the king commands?" ”
Shi Shiran, the king of the Emperor, pulled out a Glock 18 automatic pistol from his waist, pulled the bolt and loaded it with a click, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the widow has the help of the national teacher, and the big business is strong and prosperous, and I am very happy in my heart." ”
"So the widow wants to kill a courtier to celebrate, and it just so happens that Zhuqing wants to see the thunderbolt, so Lao Aiqing is a target."
After speaking, he raised his pistol decisively, and faced You Hun, who was full of confusion, and didn't react to what King Xuan meant by this for a while.
"Bang"
There was a bang, blood splattered, and You Hun fell backwards to the ground, with a bloody hole in his head.
All the Wenchen were frightened and trembled, not by the method of killing the king of Zhou, but simply by the sound of the gunshot.
As the king himself said, this You Hun is a complete courtier, and when he is killed, the ministers will only applaud, and no one will cry out for him.
Looking at the operation of the King of Xuan, the corners of Li Fei's mouth couldn't help twitching.
God kill a rister to celebrate.
The king shook the pistol in his hand with a smile and said, "What do you think?" This is the least powerful kind of thunderbolt, which is used by individuals to defend themselves on weekdays, and can only hit targets within a dozen feet. ”
"The thunderbolt used by the soldiers can take people's lives at least a hundred zhang away, and the farthest can be three hundred zhang away."
The ministers looked at the pistol in the hand of the king, and then looked at the blood hole in You Hun's head, and after being shocked, they slowly became excited.
Huang Feihu casually ordered Fang Bi Fangxiang, the general of the town hall, and they immediately summoned the warriors in front of the left and right halls, dragged You Hun's body out, and asked the internal officials to come and clean up the bloodstains.
Shang Rongqiang suppressed his excitement and asked Li Fei: "Dare to ask the national teacher, how much can this magic weapon supply?" How much does it cost? ”
Li Fei said with a smile: "There is no limit to the supply, how much you want, not a single grass or tree is consumed, it is all a poor way to condense with mana." ”
There was an uproar in the court, and Shang Rong decisively said to the king: "The old minister asks the king to implement the feudal system and implement centralized power. ”
The ministers said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
The king inserted the pistol back into the holster on the back waist, the Glock pistol is this convenient, the safety is on the trigger, and when the trigger is pulled, the safety is also opened, and the trigger safety is automatically turned on when the trigger is released.
As long as you don't pull the trigger, there's never a risk of misfire.
Seeing that the king put away the thunderbolt fire, Fei Zhong, who was among the ministers, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
After putting away the pistol, the king said: "There is no hurry, to change the system of the entire society from top to bottom, involving all aspects, it cannot be done overnight. ”
"It is not enough to have sufficient military support, there must also be enough talents to govern the locality, otherwise where will the magistrates come from?"
Speaking of this, the king turned his head helplessly and sighed to Li Fei: "The big merchants are too backward, and they still use oracle bone inscriptions, and they don't even have bamboo slip carved books. ”
"We have to get the papermaking technology out first, and we have to implement the new script, and then we have to run the school, and if we don't have ten or eight years, I'm afraid we won't see any results."
The king personally complained that the big business was too backward, but it was okay.
Li Fei suppressed the smile in his heart, and just said gently: "Don't worry, do it step by step, it's too late." ”
"And it won't take ten or eight years, it's really not possible, I'll move tens of thousands of tons of paper to use first, as for running a school, it's a big deal that I will directly give them the simplified characters through the book of heaven."
"There are other advanced knowledge, such as papermaking, movable type printing, etc., that can be done in this way."
The king slapped his thigh, and he happily said to the ministers: "Did you hear it?" The national teacher wants to pass on part of the content of the Book of Heaven to Zhuqing, with these things, why don't I worry about it? ”
The civil and military ministers were overjoyed, and they all clasped their fists and bowed down and said, "Thank you to the national teacher." ”
Li Fei said to the king: "In terms of technology, you must pick people, in order to avoid contradictions, everyone can not master the same technology." ”
"The only thing that needs to be passed on to everyone is simplified Chinese, this king approves of it, right?"
The king nodded approvingly: "That's how it should be, let's do it as it is!" ”
The content of the Book of Heaven obtained by the ministers cannot be the book of the King of Zhou, and many things cannot be passed on blindly.
First of all, all these things about advanced ideology and politics must not be passed on, and that is asking for trouble.
Knowledge that is too modern cannot be passed on, and the king has to rely on this advanced knowledge to maintain his prestige, if everyone understands, then he will no longer have an advantage as a king.
Everyone must pass it, that is, simplified Chinese.
Li Fei waved the dust, and the golden light flashed out of thin air on the heads of everyone in the hall, and under the gaze of the ministers, the golden light finally condensed into a golden booklet.
The booklet fell lightly in front of the ministers, and there were no words on it, just like the heavenly book of the king.
Li Fei opened his mouth and said, "Please pick up the book of heaven and stick it on your forehead." ”
The ministers did as they were told, and the knowledge of simplified Chinese characters and pinyin was quickly poured into the minds of the ministers.
In less than a minute, in the minds of everyone in the hall, it was equivalent to loading a "Xinhua Dictionary".
Shang Rong took the lead in putting down the book of heaven, and exclaimed in his mouth: "Wonderful, wonderful, since Cangjie created the word, it has undergone many evolutions, but the text is still extremely complex and difficult to spread." ”
"The words in this book are not only concise, but also have far-reaching meaning, with this set of words, it will be much easier for my Dashang people to read and write, thank you to the national teacher for giving the book of heaven."
The ministers shouted in unison again: "Thank you to the national teacher for giving the book of heaven." ”
Li Fei said: "You don't need to be polite, after the dynasty is dispersed, please also ask the princes to hand over the Book of Heaven to other people who need it, so that everyone can master this set of characters." ”
The king suddenly spoke: "Where is Fei Zhong?" ”
Fei Zhong trembled, and bowed down in fear: "The minister is here." ”
King Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "You are a courtier like You Hun, do you know why the widow didn't kill you?" ”
Fei Zhong's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, trembled, and said, "Because the minister is loyal to the king." ”
All the ministers in the hall had a smile on their faces.
King Xuan said lightly: "You Hun is also loyal to the widow, this is not a reason why the widow will not kill you." ”
"Compared with You Hun, you are more knowledgeable and interesting, and you have some abilities, you can be regarded as a capable courtier."
"Since I got the letter of heaven from the national teacher, the widow has woken up from a big dream and knows what kind of responsibility the widow bears on his shoulders."
"The widow put his words here today, from now on, the big businessmen don't need courtiers, gluttonous ministers, and traitorous ministers, but only capable ministers who can do practical things, I hope all the ministers will remember it."
In fact, the main reason is because Fei Zhong is his own cousin, and it is indeed as he said, compared to You Hun, who can only meet and shoot horses, Fei Zhong is regarded as an outstanding person with excellent knowledge and has made a difference.
As long as he can do things with peace of mind and stop thinking about speculation, this person can still be used.
Shang Rong Bigan and other ministers were all smiling, bowing down and saying, "The king is wise." ”
The king continued: "Fei Zhong, the widow has appointed you to be the head of the Ministry of Works, responsible for papermaking and movable type printing, making paper and printing books for my business, and if you have merit, you will be promoted." ”
"Don't say that the widow doesn't give you a chance, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is reserved for you, and you won't directly appoint others, whether you can accumulate merit and rise up depends on your own ability."
The positions of the Ministry of Industry include Shangshu, Shilang, Langzhong, Wailang, Director, and Zhaoma.
King Su gave Fei Zhong an official position in charge, and did not let him start from the bottom, which was already regarded as leaving him a little affection.
Fei Zhong himself knew this in his heart, and kowtowed gratefully: "Thank you, the king, the ministers must do their best." ”
Seeing this, Li Fei waved the dust, and a golden light hit Fei Zhong's eyebrows, passing on papermaking and movable type printing to him.
Subsequently, the king began to adjust the structure of the court, although the local official system could not be implemented for the time being, but the court could be built first.
After being appointed by the king of Zhou, Wen Zhong, the Taishi who led the troops outside, and Shangshu, the chief official of Shangshu Province, shot the left servant.
Shang Rong is the Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Order, and Bigan and Qizi are the left and right servants of the Menxia Province.
Wei Ziqi is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Mei Bo is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fei Lian is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Huang Feihu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Qi is the secretary of the Ministry of Households.
The other ministers were organized into the six departments of the three provinces according to their respective status and expertise.
After adjusting the structure of the court, the king said to Zhao Qi, the head of the household: "Zhao Qing, a healthy society must have a general equivalent exchange, that is, coins. ”
"The shell coins used by my big merchants today are not suitable for general equivalent exchange, so the first thing you do after taking office is to make coins."
Nowadays, everyone has to pass on simplified characters, and they can basically understand some words and sentences from later generations, and it is much easier to communicate.
Zhao Qiyan opened his mouth when he heard this: "Yes, but the king, the coin can't be clothed in the cold, and the reason why he can't eat in hunger is because of the value that people give to him, which is actually a manifestation of credit." ”
"As long as the credit value of the coin can be guaranteed, then no matter what is used as a coin, it is okay, whether it is shell coins or knife coins, there is no problem."
"The only question is, how do we make the coins credible, how do we convince the people that they can be used for food and clothing?"
The king nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, it seems that this book of heaven Zhao Qing is not in vain, everyone gets the same inheritance, but these problems, not everyone can think of it, the widow named you as the head of the household, it is really sealed." ”
When Zhao Qiwen heard the words of the king, he couldn't help but blush, and bowed down with a reserved fist: "The king praises, the so-called seeking his own government in his position, since the minister is in charge of the household department, he naturally has to consider the issues that the household department should consider. ”
The king nodded and said, "Whether the credit value of the coin can be guaranteed or not, first of all, it must rely on the imperial court to promote, and in this way, it must involve commerce. ”
Hearing the words of the king, everyone hurriedly recalled the definition of "business" in their minds, and soon understood it one by one.
The king continued: "First of all, the imperial court will open a state-run grain, oil and cloth store, and after you have made enough coins, you can set an example by the imperial court first. ”
"Zhongqing's money will no longer distribute food and materials, and directly convert them into coins, and then you take the coins and go to the relevant stores to buy the goods you need."
"As long as the imperial court does it first, it will slowly and naturally drive the people, so won't the coin be promoted?"
