"You...... You actually want to do this!? ”

The old pavilion master was shocked, although he had long known that Fang Jue had great ambitions, he didn't expect him to be so bold.

Yes, that's bold!

Any of these are provoking the government, the interests of the court and the emperor.

The old pavilion master thought that it was difficult to do one, let alone change them all.

"If nothing else, it is impossible to cancel the guide." The old pavilion master shook his head and said.

In other words, it can be understood as a pass.

Anyone who wants to travel far away needs to have a road guide, and dignitaries need to have customs clearance documents.

Even if you go out of the county, you can't do it without a road guide.

And it is impossible to approve the road guide easily, otherwise a large number of people will be lost, the fields will be cultivated, and how will the imperial court collect taxes?

This is one of the fundamental interests of the imperial court, and it will never be shaken, and the old pavilion master can't think of any way.

"Old pavilion master, if one day, the new chariots and horses travel thousands of miles every day...... No, just 300 miles a day, do you think it is necessary for the guide to exist? ”

"The existence of road guidance is to stabilize the economy of farmers and stabilize the overall situation, not simply restrict travel." The old pavilion master shook his head.

Fang Jue nodded: "You're right, I haven't finished talking yet, it's actually impossible to completely cancel the road guide, I just want to make it a little more relaxed, and any good person can easily travel and not be limited to a fixed area." ”

"Even so, it's difficult, and the population is lost, how are you going to stabilize farming?" The old pavilion master sat up straight and began to debate with Fang Jue seriously.

He didn't want to convince Fang Jue, but he was curious about what unique insights this kid could have.

"It is impossible to lose the population, as long as the local government governs properly and has new food, many basic labor forces can be liberated."

"At that time, only less than 30% of the current labor force will be needed, and it will be far more than the previous agricultural economy."

"The surplus population and labor can be moved, which is more conducive to economic development."

The old pavilion master nodded, and suddenly became enlightened: "It turns out that you are looking for new grain, for this?" ”

"Or else?"

Fang Jue said with a smile: "Could it be that the old pavilion master also thinks that the common people are only worthy of arable land?" With the new grain and the liberation of most of the labor force, more construction can be done. ”

When the old pavilion master nodded, he asked again: "But with so many wandering laborers, how can you ensure stability?" ”

Maintaining stability is the most important thing in any era.

In the eyes of those in charge, it is more important than people's livelihood.

The new grain can indeed liberate many farmers from the fields.

But where are so many people liberated?

If they are confined to the region, they will inevitably form gangs and factions, forming underworld forces and preying on the common people.

If you can swim up, it is even more dangerous, not to mention the gangs, but also involve a wide range of people, and accidentally connect the darkness.

When the time comes, someone climbs up and shouts, and there are riots again.

The imperial court had to consider this, and if there was no proper prevention and control method, the higher authorities would not agree to such a reform.

"Isn't that easy?"

Fang Jue said lightly: "Every once in a while, it is enough to strictly sweep away the evil and eliminate evil, and the people will clap their hands and praise the court." ”

"It's not called prevention." The old pavilion master frowned.

"There are gains and losses, if you want to prosper, you have to take risks to change, as long as the overall situation is stable, a little pain must be endured."

Fang Jue said: "The old pavilion master thinks too extremely, the common people are actually very well settled, as long as they are well fed and warm, the old have something to rely on, and the young have something to raise...... Few people are willing to kill their heads. ”

"People who can do those things, even without my reforms, they will go astray."

"That's right, the common people really don't have any ambitions, as long as they live a stable life, no one wants to rebel."

In all dynasties, the common people rebelled under one premise, that is, they were dying of starvation.

In addition, no one can incite the people to riot and rebel, and the people are not so easily led astray.

Most of the rebels were powerful people, court officials or generals who were nourished by ambition.

The old pavilion master paused: "You just mentioned that the abolition of Zhongzheng and the opening of the imperial examination?" ”

"This path is a historical necessity."

Fang Jue: "Zhongzheng takes scholars, fraud is a trend, and those who come and go are all high-ranking nobles, these people are intertwined into a net, and the longer the time, the more they threaten the imperial power." ”

"What's more important is that the world is controlled by the scholars, the family is big, and the officials in the court will be the spokesmen of the big family.

These words made the old pavilion master nod again and again.

He said: "The Emperor Pavilion is detached, but he doesn't want to participate in such a battle. ”

"But this is also very difficult, cutting off the Zhongzheng scholars and opening the imperial examination is equivalent to cutting off the road for the nobles to continue to control the world, and they will definitely not be willing."

"Again, those who hold the power of the military, as long as they can endure the momentary pain, can completely ignore the thoughts of these moths." Fang Jue said coldly.

"I understand, so you took out the firearm, just so that the emperor has the confidence to be willing to follow your ideas and reform at will...... No matter what the problem is, no one can shake the country, so the emperor must be willing to get rid of these tumors...... Wonderful, stinky boy, you think so long! The old man's eyes lit up.

The nobles of the family have always been the objects that the emperor fears the most.

There are too many wealthy families, which is not a good thing for the emperor and the overall situation of the world.

Zhongzheng will undoubtedly make these wealthy families bigger and bigger, and sooner or later some people will have inflated ambitions and threaten the imperial power.

It is better to prepare early, weaken the family's control over the imperial court, and let more poor families and commoners join in, and even become the backbone.

In this way, the influence of the family can be broken, the emperor's governance will be smoother, and the people will be less oppressed.

Of course, the best thing is that the imperial examination can continue to evolve and reform, and the right to speak is in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor must be willing to change, as long as he has the confidence and ability to suppress the opposition of the wealthy family.

"The emergence of firearms will have an impact on the Korean situation, and His Majesty will definitely ask for the expansion of the government military system of the Musket Bureau, or the formation of a firearms army in the capital."

Fang Jue said: "As long as he can control the Gyeonggi area to the death, the emperor does not have to look up to others, no wealthy family is an enemy, and those who can't see the situation clearly will inevitably be swept into the garbage heap of history." ”

"Anyone who opposes it must be a member of a wealthy family, and they are worried that after the era of cold weapons has passed, they will no longer be able to control military power at will and restrict the emperor."

"It is foreseeable that in a short period of time, there will be a collision between His Majesty and the family."

Speaking of this, Fang Jue thought of the He family.

The He family is indeed loyal and has already had the opportunity to rebel, but they are still willing to retreat and easily cede the military power of Gyeonggi Province to His Majesty.

And the young and middle-aged generation, the most capable He Feng, was sent to the border pass to sit in the town, instead of staying near the capital.

It is enough to see that they are sincere to His Majesty, and they are not worried about being cut into chaos by the emperor's quick knife.

But on the contrary, the more this is the case, the more the emperor will not touch them, and even feel guilty, and will be more graceful to compensate the He family.

Although he has lost his power now, it is foreseeable that the He family will inevitably be able to follow the court to enjoy a large wave of dividends in the next era of Great Xia's take-off.

This is the reward that deserves to be faithful to the country and to love the king.

But many people can't understand this layer, and feel that only by firmly grasping power can they have a sense of security; believes that the emperor must be indispensable for them, so that they will not be easily replaced, and they can always stand in the center of the court.

And such a person will inevitably gradually lose his grace, be disliked, and eventually be liquidated for some trivial things.

Because they don't have a family and country in their hearts, they don't have a majesty, they only have their own flies and dogs, and no matter how powerful they are, it's useless.

This is the different way of thinking of the monarch and the minister.

"Old Pavilion Master, if you want to do what I said, you need the full help of the Emperor Pavilion." Fang Jue looked at the old man seriously.

"Hmm~" The old man pursed his lips slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth lightly, "Oh? Do you still need my old man? ”

"Doesn't the old pavilion master want to return to the Great Xia Dynasty in the Emperor Pavilion?" Fang Jue asked rhetorically.

The old pavilion master frowned slightly, and then said lightly: "Dominate the world first, let's talk about this, if you can do it, the Emperor Pavilion will become your help." ”

"Then it's a deal!" Fang Jue's eyes narrowed, confident and arrogant.
