Childe Gao was in a trance.

Their eyes were still full of disbelief.

Long.

Childe suppressed the horror in his heart and said, "What Mr. said is true? ”

"Will the Great Qin Military Merit System really change?"

It's not that they don't believe it.

It's just that the Great Qin military merit system has been implemented for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when I suddenly heard that it was going to change, it was still a little difficult to accept for a while, and I even felt a little frightened.

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said with certainty: "Of course." ”

"The military merit system is a good system."

"But for now, relying on military merit for talent screening is no longer appropriate."

"Although it can still be operated at present, it is the end of the strong crossbow, and it can't support it for too long, and now it really hasn't shown itself, but there will always be an outburst one day."

"Change is inevitable."

"It's just that how to change needs to be carefully considered."

Ji Heng paused slightly.

He actually thought about the follow-up situation of the military merit system, but the situation in Daqin was more complicated, not only to take into account the emotions of the old Qin people, but also to give the people of Kwantung room to rise, in general, it was not easy to change the whole situation, and a little carelessness might cause dissatisfaction from all parties.

Caution must be exercised.

Childe Gao bowed slightly.

He agrees.

When the country was founded, the first emperor asked hundreds of officials, but none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak.

Why?

It's just that the military merit system is too involved.

Even the prime ministers at that time, Wang Juan and Kui Zhuang, did not dare to squeak.

The difficulty can be imagined.

"What does that gentleman think should change?" Childe Gao asked curiously.

He was still very curious about Ji Heng's thoughts.

Ji Heng's ideas are more unique, different from others, and relatively imaginative.

The stones of the mountains can be used to attack jade.

Some of Ji Heng's views are actually very instructive.

Ji Heng's eyelids drooped slightly, his face showed a hint of condensation, and he shook his head and said, "I don't dare to assert it easily. ”

"But I know that if the military merit system wants to change, it must fulfill its previous promises."

"If you haven't won the hearts of millions of soldiers, how can you talk about making changes?"

"And the change must convince the Qin people."

"Still."

"At that time, it will not only be the old Qin people that Qin Ting will take care of."

"but all the people of the world."

"But the current situation of Great Qin, you should also know that it is difficult to move an inch, and a slight move may cause turmoil on all sides, even if it is the imperial court during this time, it is relatively calm, and the national strength under Great Qin does not support such a big move, but there are some things that must be done."

"If the First Emperor doesn't do it when he is there, the second emperor and the third emperor of Great Qin will only face greater resistance."

"In my opinion."

"The First Emperor will definitely make a move."

Hear the words.

Childe Gao bowed slightly.

He also felt that if the military merit system was to be solved, it would definitely be the first emperor who made the move.

"Then why lower the entry requirements?" he asked. ”

"Isn't this a heavy burden on the imperial court?"

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said lightly: "There will indeed be a burden, but this is what the imperial court should pay." ”

"Another."

"This is also buying time for the imperial court."

"After all, every nobleman may not have a child of the age of the chief horn in his family, so to a certain extent, the court's reward for the knighted person will be extended to a certain period of time."

"I don't go to Confucianism in a swarm."

"And going to school is indeed the easiest for the imperial court."

"Admittedly."

"It's not intuitive."

"In the eyes of the court ministers, it may not be worth it."

"But the environment at the top is different from the environment at the bottom, and the most simple idea of the people at the bottom is to let their children get ahead, and if you want to really get ahead, you have to solve one thing."

"It's literacy!"

"When the government promised to allow their children to go to school almost semi-freely, it was a big temptation for them."

"Most of those who have a knight will agree."

"Never underestimate what parents expect from their children."

"The world seems to be peaceful, but the conscription is very heavy, and each family gathers less and leaves more, so there are not many students of real age, and the imperial court is not a promise to let them enter the school, but only teach them the most basic literacy and hyphenation, in this case, the expenditure of the imperial court will undoubtedly be greatly reduced."

"And it's going to get longer."

"The promises that were originally piled up on the imperial court, or even those that have been unfulfillable, are suddenly stretched out to a few years, or even more than ten years, to be fulfilled."

"This is a sharp reduction in pressure on the imperial court."

Hear the words.

Childe Gao was thoughtful.

He had understood Ji Heng's thoughts.

It is to exchange the money and land that should have been given to those who have been knighted for admission qualifications, and then reduce the burden on the imperial court through the ardent expectations of their children as parents, and because the imperial court stipulates a suitable age for going to school, the pressure that the imperial court should have borne will be greatly dispersed.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.

Childe nodded and said, "Sir's opinion, I already understand." ”

"It's a good idea."

"I'll wait for Mr. Xie to make a plan for the country."

Gongzi Gao Chao Ji Heng saluted respectfully.

Gongzi and a few people also saluted.

Ji Heng smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.

He also has his own mind.

It's just complementary.

He said: "The people cannot stand without faith, and the country cannot prosper without faith." ”

"If Daqin wants to really sit firmly in the world, he must win the trust of the people, just like the Shang Jun Ximu Lixin back then, and regain the trust of the head of Qian, but Daqin has a lot to do over the years, and it is indeed a little unbearable, so he has no idea of fulfillment, but this is not a long-term solution after all."

"Perhaps some of the courtiers thought that the court could ignore it."

"This can also save a lot of money and food for the imperial court."

"However, this practice is undoubtedly to quench thirst, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Also."

"Great Qin established the country by law."

"If you want to implement the real Qin law, you must promote the law, and it is not enough to rely on judges who only publicize the law, you must start from other aspects."

"Sinking education is one of them."

"In the past, because of the high cost of education, the imperial court had no time to touch it."

"This is what makes Confucianism gradually gain power."

"If my suggestion is implemented, the Great Qin will sink education, which will undoubtedly squeeze the Confucian environment, completely abandon some of the pedantic ideas of Confucianism from the bottom, and will also be conducive to the further promotion of the Great Qin Law in the future, after all, the teaching materials are more subtle to people than the world imagines."

"That's why."

"I firmly believe that the imperial court will do this."

Ji Heng's tone was firm.

Gongzi Gao also had a solemn expression.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the government, but he still knows a little.

He also knew the grim situation facing the imperial court.

If this can really be used to calm the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for Daqin.

Forthwith.

He seemed to think of something, and said, "Have you heard of the salt and iron that has been boiling in the city recently? ”

Ji Heng's eyes showed a strange color, and he said with a smile: "I have heard of it." ”

"It's not a big problem, though."

"Oh?" Gongzi Gao's face showed a different color, he looked at Ji Heng a few times closely, as if he thought of something, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that Mr. has made a move, no wonder my brother is so calm and relaxed during this time, with Mr. helping him, the salt and iron crisis in Guanzhong should be fine." ”

Gongzi Gao chatted with Ji Heng for a few more words, and then got up directly to say goodbye.

Once they have a way to get a knighthood, they have to try it with all their might.

They don't have many options.

Rather than leave your fate to the liking of others, it is better to grasp your own destiny in your hands, at least once tried.

The clatter of horses' hooves sounded again.

In the hospital.

Hu Hai did not leave.

He had been listening to it all the time, and it was really boring to listen.

Later, he wandered around the courtyard by himself.

He turned around, looked at the door that had been closed, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, he took the mat, moved towards Ji Heng, and said: "Ji Heng, this salt and iron matter, is it really from you?" ”

Ji Heng frowned.

He said calmly: "I didn't participate too much, just a reminder." ”

Hu Hai showed a touch of displeasure in his eyes, and complained: "Ji Heng, you are a little inauthentic, it is obvious that I found it, why are you walking with the eldest brother now?" ”

He was very dissatisfied with Ji Heng's approach.

If it weren't for his discernment, Ji Heng might have died at that time, how could he have the current scenery? As a result, Ji Heng not only didn't help himself much, but kept helping his eldest brother do things, which made him feel very emotional.

Ji Heng frowned slightly.

He said coldly: "It doesn't matter who I help, I'm just a storyteller, and I don't get involved." ”

"You're lying." Hu Haimeng slapped the case, glared at Ji Heng angrily, and he said coldly: "You are obviously quibbling, why are you not involved?" Brother's changes in the past half a year, even the maids in the palace have heard about it, isn't this your credit? ”

"You say you don't get involved, but you don't do it at all."

"You've been helping big brother!"

Ji Heng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

He said, "That's true." ”

"But my rules were set early on."

"One or two stories and one or two wines, Fusu gave enough wine, and I told him enough stories."

"That's not biased."

Hu Hai snorted coldly, not agreeing with this explanation at all.

In his eyes.

Ji Heng has clearly been helping the eldest brother.

If it weren't for Ji Heng's help, how could the eldest brother be more and more famous in the imperial court?

This time the matter of salt and iron, at first, when the eldest brother presented the song, it attracted the opposition of the imperial court, but in the end, the father still tried his best to disagree and let the eldest brother do it, this is not Ji Heng secretly making a plan, otherwise how could the father let the eldest brother do such a risky move?

"You're quibbling." Hu Hai said angrily: "You are helping the eldest brother." ”

"You've been biased towards the big brother from the beginning."

"Isn't it?!"

Hu Hai asked loudly.

Ji Heng was silent.

Hu Hai sneered and said indifferently: "Because the eldest brother is a recognized prince in your heart, and the best candidate for Emperor Qin II, that's why you are so dedicated to helping the eldest brother, you, like those courtiers, are all people who tend to be inflammatory." ”

"It's in vain that I trusted you so much in prison."

"That's what you did to me?"

The more Hu Hai spoke, the more energetic he became, and at this time he pointed at Ji Heng and scolded.

Apparently furious to the extreme.

Ji Heng's face was as usual.

Not outraged by this.

just looked at Hu Hai with interest, as if he was full of curiosity about Hu Hai's trouble.

Wait for Hu Hai's scolding to gradually fall.

Ji Hengcai slowly stood up, stretched his body, and teased: "Zhao Gao asked you to say this, right?" ”

Hear the words.

Hu Hai's pupils shrank suddenly, as if something on his mind had been exposed, his face turned red subconsciously, and he quickly denied: "What does this have to do with Zhao Gao?" Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? You're just biased towards the big brother. ”

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Yes or no, it has no effect on me." ”

"The reason why you have such a big emotion is just that you think I'm unfair."

"Ready to Say"

"You're not like your other brothers."

"You still have a covetous heart for the throne, and seeing that Fusu's position is becoming more and more stable, you are a little panicked, so you tried to pressure me not to speak to Fusu again."

"It's not that I despise you."

"With your heart and the city, you won't take the initiative to do these things."

Hu Hai's face froze.

Then there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Didn't Ji Heng's words mean that he had no brains?

"Ji Heng, you're a bit humiliating." Hu Hai said dissatisfied.

Ji Heng smiled and sighed lightly: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." ”

"You only saw the scenery, but you didn't see the hard work behind the scenes, the body of the first emperor, you know, but over the years, it has long been destroyed, do you think you can withstand the torture of dealing with music day and night?"

"Can you really bear the weight of the world?"

"I," Hu Hai choked.

He thought about it in his head, but didn't know how to speak.

Ji Heng looked at Hu Hai and said lightly: "You used to be favored by the First Emperor, and you have been pampered since you were born, and you have hardly faced setbacks, but whenever there is anything, with Zhao Gao on the side, it will hardly cause the First Emperor to be dissatisfied, so you have a sense of arrogance and contempt in your bones." ”

"But is that really the case?"

Ji Heng sneered and said indifferently: "Never." ”

"You have only seen the scenery of being an emperor, but you have not thought about the situation after becoming an emperor, you can't bear that hardship, and you can't bear that kind of pressure, with your out-of-the-box personality, in the end you will only talk about authority and pretend to others, but you are different from Fusu, you don't have much power in the court."

"The only one who can believe is Zhao Gao."

"But domestic politics is actually different from foreign politics."

"Zhao Gao had little contact with national politics in the past, at most he ran errands and sent messages, and he mostly speculated on his intentions every day, and let him make his own ideas, he couldn't come up with them."

"The chicken is in the morning, and it will cause disaster."

"Also."

"I told Fusu before."

"Don't be biased, let alone cronies, and have your own thinking ideas."

"You obviously didn't do it."

"My house is here, and no one is restricted from coming, but compared to Fusu, you come less, how can this be blamed on my head?" Ji Heng shook his head and walked back indoors.

I went to hand over the keys today, and what I said yesterday was directly slapped in the face.

Eight o'clock code word, yard by yard fell asleep.

Awkward.

Ten thousand more than nineteen days.
