Chapter 478: The Old Era is Over, and the Era of the Scholarly Family is Coming
Exploring wild lands, whether it is the Southern Barbarians, Lingnan, the Western Regions, or overseas, no place is easy.
On the one hand, there is the problem of roads, and on the other hand, there is the environment and climate, just like the imperial court exiled those noble families to the border to open up, even if they are prepared, only seventy or eighty percent can reach safely. The rest are basically dead on the road.
And even after arriving, living in the border area, not adapting to the water and soil, coupled with all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, after three years, fifty percent of the population survived is already considered good.
Many people die from various diseases.
With such a high casualty rate, if the people in the Central Plains were not able to survive, they would not want to wander here at all. Even ordinary people are reluctant to go, do you expect those families, heroes, and nobles to take the initiative to open up?
Wang Yi does not deny that the nobles, heroes, and nobles have a pioneering and enterprising heart, just like the Bang Zhou Dingli back then, dividing the princes of the world, many of those princes are blue wisps on the road, covered with thorns and frost and dew, so that there is a size of the land. But the current family, the powerful, and the noble are not willing to do this thankless thing.
The imperial court can only encourage exploration, but cannot force the people to open up.
With the founding of the Great Qian, the influence of Confucianism has gradually expanded, from being suppressed by Legalism, Taoism, and Moism, to now being able to suppress Taoism and Moism, and now has the confidence to compete with Legalism.
In the 150 years since the founding of the country, various problems have also emerged one after another, and the princes in the court have naturally felt it. There are even many people who have proposed to change the law, but there are different opinions on how the law should be changed.
Wang Yi is not a faint monarch, his talent is stronger than ordinary people, and he is far from those eloquent monarchs, but he understands that changing the law is extremely important. He also wanted to change the law, but he couldn't find someone who could entrust him with a great responsibility.
He did not meet important ministers like Ram Shuo, Sun Shuao, Wu Zixu, Wu Qi, and Shang Ying, who could be entrusted with big things. Therefore, the reform of the law has not been implemented.
He knew that if the reform of the law was not successful, the consequences would seriously affect the cadres, and it would be better to reform the original law without changing it.
"There are friends from afar, don't you say it?"
"Threesomes must have my teacher!"
"The people are precious, the monarch is light, and the community is second!"
The sound of reading sounded in the countryside, and in Daqian, Mencius's status was not lower than that of Confucius, and even because Mencius's ideas were radical, he was more favored by the royal family.
In real history, Mencius's ideas and doctrines were not liked by those in power because Mencius had a spirit of rebellion. The emperor prefers the kind of father, son, son, king, minister, and minister, the king lets the minister die, and the minister has to die. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.
However, in the eyes of the Daqian royal family, the monarch regards the ministers as siblings, the ministers regard the monarch as the heart, the monarch regards the ministers as dogs and horses, the ministers regard the monarch as the countrymen, the monarch regards the ministers as grass mustard, and the ministers regard the monarch as enemies.
The Wang clan doesn't want the people to become obedient people, and they don't want to talk about it in the future, the people of Daqian are the most tolerant of oppression in this world, and as long as there is a little hope of survival, they will not rebel.
Such people, those meat eaters will not have a little gratitude, a little mercy, they will only be more unscrupulous oppression.
Zijue didn't want to see the people of Zhuxia become like this, he hoped that the people would have the spirit of resistance, if the people dared to resist, those meat-eaters would not dare to wantonly oppress and persecute.
This is also why the Great Qian court has never suppressed Confucianism and Mohists. At that time, Li Si wrote to Emperor Qian, saying, "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses force to violate the ban." "Confucianism is Confucianism, and chivalry is Mohist.
Li Si wanted to use the excuse to suppress Confucianism and Mohism and let the Legalists dominate, but he was never approved.
Although the Mo family is inferior to the two Confucianists in the court, they still have a high reputation among the grassroots people. They have traveled all over the world, and they have to take care of injustices when they see them, and they are born with a chivalrous spirit, but the Legalists have always been very unhappy with the ban on chivalry and martial arts like the Mo family.
Some of them have withered, or are no longer suitable for social development and are gradually dying out, but there are still many that are thriving.
After the development of many sages, they have been constantly sharpened and improved in practice, and they have become more and more powerful in line with the trend.
After more than 100 years of development in the imperial court, especially after the opening of private schools, the style of folk preaching and preaching flourished, and a large number of scholars appeared. Even ordinary people have a chance to get ahead.
After entering the school palace, these scholars, who have read the way of the sages, will become a powerful force in the political arena after they go through some study and assessment.
Many of these scholars are attached to the clan and relatives, after all, now the three princes and the internal minister are all clan relatives and relatives or offices.
Although scholars also serve as the three princes or the left and right prime ministers, there will be checks and balances between the clan and the nobles. The imperial court needs to maintain balance.
If the big cadres want to be officials, they have filial piety, imperial court conquest, shadow sealing, military exploits and school palace assessments.
Most of the examples of filial piety are recommended by state and county officials from all over the country, and there are also those who take the road of honorable and noble, but there are not many places for the two, and the vast majority of them are mutual recommendation of relatives and descendants.
This kind of recommendation is equivalent to the basic plate of the noble and official families. The school palace assessment is the one with the most talents.
Although history is occasionally repeated, it is generally forward. None of these scholars who passed rounds of examinations and rose up were stupid.
Although these people are not as high as the nobles politically and militarily, they are more intelligent. Xungui, a nobleman who relies on blood inheritance, cannot be extremely talented in every generation, and there will always be mediocrity.
But those scholars won't. Under such generations of competition, the nobles and eunuchs went from dominating to being evenly matched in the future, and then falling behind.
It is unstoppable that the scholastic family will replace the blood aristocracy.
Now this situation has appeared in the imperial court, and the rise of the scholarly family has occupied half of the position in the imperial court, and the nobles who rely on blood and ancestors are becoming more and more powerless.
The sound of reading sounded, and under a big tree outside the academy, the two were playing against each other under the tree, but their minds were not placed on the chessboard.
"The lives of the people in the world are becoming more and more difficult, if it continues like this, it is not far from the unveiling of the rod! But the imperial court did not act. ”
"Isn't the imperial court always immigrating? If those people are willing to emigrate, isn't that also a way out? The white-faced scholar sitting across from him said.
"If the court forces the people, they are forcing the people to die."
"The people don't want to die, so the noble and powerful are willing to die? Is there such a saying in the world? ”
"Then sit back and watch this brilliant great dry fall?"
"Then look at the court, Yanyan Zhugong."
