"Congratulations to the young master, you are going to be promoted."

When Zhuge Qingshan came to Fangjiazhuang, he was already familiar with the road, and he didn't even hand over the post.

Fang Jue naturally welcomed him warmly, but he was surprised that his first sentence was this.

"What ascension?" Fang Jue shook his head, knowing nothing.

Zhuge Qingshan sipped tea: "Your Majesty has discussed with the cabinet just now, I want to mention you, and ask the old man what positions are vacant now." ”

"I've already been overseen by the Musket Bureau?" Fang Jue said with a smile, he was very busy, how could he have time to take up other positions.

Zhuge Qingshan shook his head: "Pengju, what Your Majesty means is to find a title similar to that of a young master." ”

Pengju is the word of Fang Jue, which originates from a certain national hero on the earth.

"It's the same as the young master...... Is that an empty title? Fang Jue chuckled.

"Now that the title is higher than that of the young master, there is only one vacancy left."

Hearing this, Fang Jue seemed to think of something, and was immediately surprised: "Impossible, right?" ”

If the emperor gave that title, it would be a bit too much, Fang Jue knew that his qualifications and age were too young.

It's not a good thing to be too lifted, and I don't know how many people will be attracted to it.

"How is it impossible?"

Zhuge Qingshan sighed: "The new grain alone, Pengju's contribution to the Xia Kingdom is better than the old man's half-life cultivation." ”

"Why should the boss be humble, the Xia State officials are clear and clear, and the government is harmonious, and it is also your merit of Lord Shoufu."

Zhuge Qingshan waved his hand.

"That's it, the old man is not a person who can't tolerate people, Xia Guo has a talent like you, and the old man can rest assured."

Zhuge Qingshan said: "That title, Your Majesty has planned to give it, although the cabinet is shocked, there is no objection......

"Just ......"

He looked at Fang Jue.

Fang Jue nodded, and said knowingly: "I know, my qualifications are too short, and it is too woody to take this title rashly." ”

Even, I was a little tempted to refuse.

But he also understands that what the emperor wants to reward, it will be a disaster if he doesn't take it quickly.

Except for military power.

"You're going to have to make some achievements...... If the Musket Bureau can make a name for itself, it will be better. ”

In a short period of time, it is necessary to have the strength to deter the government and the opposition.

The food is not enough, so they can only admire, and they don't want to offend Fang Jue, and they are not willing to bow down.

Zhuge Qingshan said: "The Musket Bureau needs to start forging, and when you take out a batch of muskets, go to the border to pick two soft persimmons, and your reputation will stand." ”

"......" Fang Jue chuckled, "Need to be so fast?" ”

"Your Majesty can't wait......"

Zhuge Qingshan said lightly: "I can't wait...... either"

Lao Shoufu is old after all, and people in this era are half-cut into the ground after the age of fifty.

Especially Zhuge Qingshan, who worries about state affairs every day and has never rested well, he doesn't look so healthy.

"After the promotion of the new grain, your political achievements are unmatched...... If you can use martial arts and use muskets to gain a firm foothold in the military, Xia Guo can feel at ease. ”

Hearing Zhuge Qingshan's words, Fang Jue said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not feel at ease." ”

Lao Shoufu's words are really very explicit.

In terms of politics, Fang Jue's methods in the past few months have satisfied both the emperor and Zhuge Qingshan, and he feels worthy of the name of a genius.

If Zhuge Qingshan had a case, Fang Jue might be able to replace him.

So the emperor also hoped that Fang Jue could achieve success in martial arts, and it was best to replace Ye Xuanfeng.

In this way, the mainstay of the next generation of Xia Kingdom will not be overwhelmed.

But Fang Jue didn't think so, he felt that the emperor was tempting, wanting to see if he had the intention of peeping into military power.

"Presumptuous...... Your Majesty is not jealous of talents, but only worried about the lack of talents. Zhuge Qingshan corrected.

Fang Jue rolled his eyes and said:

"Don't be naïve, sir, or do you think I'm stupid?"

"Although Your Majesty is virtuous and open-minded, it is impossible for him to cultivate a genius who is both civil and military."

Zhuge Qingshan's eyes lit up: "So, do you really understand martial arts?" ”

"I don't know much about ......," Fang Jue said lightly.

"Then you took out the musket, isn't it to show your talent in martial arts?"

……

Zhuge Qingshan is gone.

"Young Master, why are you still unhappy when you are about to be promoted?" Dian Yi asked.

Although he doesn't want to be an official, he hopes that the young master can be a supreme minister.

Then he will be honored.

Fang Jue shook his head: "You also heard it in the secret room, the emperor wants me to practice the musket army, and he also wants to lead the troops to test the soldiers." ”

"Isn't this good, if you can bring out a musket army, wouldn't you sweep the six countries?"

"The emperor is just curious, he wants to see if the comments of the Emperor Pavilion are true, and to see if I am really an all-rounder...... He wouldn't let me take control of the army easily. ”

Moreover...... I also don't have military power.

Even if it was the Musket Bureau, if it weren't for the fear of the people below messing around, Fang Jue wouldn't want to supervise it personally.

It's like the fireworks bureau, throw it out and let the household operate, and hide behind yourself.

"Why does this emperor have so many eyes?" Dianyi was speechless.

Fang Jue looked at him and chuckled: "The emperor plans to mention my title again, and he also tempts me with military power, probably to see if I have such self-motivation." ”

The so-called self-motivation is called ambition in the court.

The emperor's abacus sounded, and Fang Jueyuan was in Fangjiazhuang, and he had already heard it.

One of the highest titles of civilian officials, plus the emergence of a military man...... If there is really any genius who dares to be so promising, he is afraid that he will have to be locked in the capital for the rest of his life.

It's like Ye Xuanfeng.

After stepping down, although Ye Xuanfeng withdrew from military affairs, he enjoyed his old age...... But he didn't dare to leave the capital.

Otherwise, with his prestige, once he is released from Beijing, the emperor may face a situation that is: ascend to the heights and shout, and the world will follow.

Although the probability is extremely low, the emperor cannot take this risk.

It's the same with yourself.

Fang Jue understood very well what these people with supreme power were thinking about.

They only wanted one thing: how to drain the surplus value of their servants without making them a threat to them.

The ancient kings, and even the government and county orders, are the core themes of this kind, but the methods are different.

It is impossible for Fang Jue to be Ye Xuanfeng's second.

Even if you want to do it, it is Zhuge Qingshan's second.

At least Zhuge Qingshan can't affect any of the generals, and his connections and prestige are only in the court.

A group of weak scholars?

As the saying goes: If a scholar rebels, he will not succeed in ten years.

"Young master, if you want me to say, this court is too complicated...... Now that you have handed over the new grain to Xia Guo to promote, it must be that soon everyone in the world will be able to eat enough. ”

"Why don't you go back to Taihuang Mountain with me, the people there are simple-minded, and they don't need to waste their brains."

Dianyi was a little bored, these calculations and scheming felt that they were really boring and dangerous.

"Eat well...... This is just the first step. ”

Fang Jue shook his head.

"A hypocrite like He Louqian doesn't know how many ...... are hidden Under the banner of the imperial court, they oppressed the people and bullied the market...... It's not just farming that needs to change. ”

The quality of a society ultimately depends on the upper class.

Tracing back to the source, all unhealthy trends must have started to circulate from the top, and the people below dare to follow suit.

For thousands of years, the common people have not even been able to solve the problem of food and clothing, what is the root cause?

Quite simply, the nobles don't care.

They don't care at all how the people below live.

As long as they are alive, they will continue to oppress, and if anyone resists, they will be suppressed...... couldn't hold it back, threw a few people out to calm the anger, and then continued the cycle.

To change, revolution is needed!

The reason why I came to Great Xia was because it was the most suitable place for Fang Jue to accumulate strength.

The court position and military power, Fang Jue does not need it, but he can't ask for too much at the moment.

"Young master, you want to change the situation and rectify the rule of officials...... Or even a change? "Dianyi finally understood why the young master had to make so many preparations.

If you come to the Great Xia Kingdom to be promoted and make a fortune, you don't need to prepare for so many years.

Fang Jue turned his head, glanced at Dian Yiyi, and raised his head slightly.

What about changing the law?

Dian Yi glared: "This is too ...... It's impossible, the last one advocated becoming a legal person, and the grave grass has grown into a towering tree! ”

Change, since ancient times, has existed.

Or a kind of revolution.

Every great process in history, or the evolution of human civilization, has the effect of changing.

And every time, those who advocate changing the law are extremely popular ministers, like the sky.

But soon, it will be knocked down from the clouds and become a tool used by the king to vent his anger on the powerful who offended during the reform of the law.

There is no one who advocates the change of the Fa and there is a good result, regardless of whether the change is successful or not.

If you don't believe it, if you look through the history books, the best end is derogatory exile.

"Young master, let's stop doing this official, it's too dangerous, let's go back to Taihuang Mountain, right?" Nonichi was worried.

"By the way, take Miss Ye back with you." He added.

Fang Jue laughed.
