Chapter 219: The Internal Affairs of Great Chu (2)

Politics is the foundation of the country, while regime politics is the foundation of this major classification of politics.

And with a regime, there will naturally be officials, so officials are the foundation of the regime.

A king or leader is not the foundation of the regime, but officials are because only officials are the new force standing on the front line to deal with ordinary people. However, in the traditional five thousand years of Chinese history, the king is the foundation of the regime, and officials are just the slaves of the king.

This is true, because officials can be replaced at any time, but the king cannot.

After the end of the lifelong system and the feudal dynasty with a strong father-born son-in-law, the king no longer exists and gradually evolves into a "highest official", then the political politics becomes good.

When officials are separated, they are official positions and civil servants.

China is a country with extremely high official status, so being an official in the feudal period of China has been the dream of the whole world.

It is not an exaggeration to use all the people in the world here. People from other places such as monks and Taoists. When we open the history books, we will see examples of these people trying to please the king and even rebel in order to become high officials.

If there is someone who is unmoved, it only means that the treatment given by the court is not enough.

Officials are the foundation of the regime and the extension of the king's power. The existence of this group helps the king to consolidate his rule, govern the world and educate the people, so Su Chuo said.

"Officials are the foundation of the world."

How to choose officials, use officials, and govern officials is a "skill" that monarchs need to learn and master the most in dynasties. Anyone who has achieved this skill can be called the emperor of the ages, and the doctrine of the mean can also be called the lord of the preservation. Those who have achieved success can only be named a foolish monarch and an incompetent monarch.

Luo Yongsheng established the civil servants' positions in the Great Chu court and local provinces, which was the basis for selecting officials. Taking the "Chu Dian" to enter the official career is the way to select officials.

Therefore, whether the selected officials are good or not depends not on Luo Yongsheng, but on "Chu Dian".

This is not a game. These people pass by Luo Yongsheng like a quick look. The four-dimensional map of politics, strategy, force, and command will enter Luo Yongsheng's eyes. They can intuitively see whether a person is a talented person and what aspects a talent is good at.

Having said that, even if Luo Yongsheng has this ability, Jiangxi can have more than 5,000 civilians of all sizes. Can he see it?

How many people are in the world? How fast is the iteration and update of officials and the alternation of new and old? Can he see it?

Therefore, choosing an official is not based on how vicious the monarch has, but on whether the way of choosing an official is benign and orderly.

The Han Dynasty's system of filial piety and integrity was a way to select officials.

If a person is filial, his character and human nature should not be too reckless. He should be a good official if he becomes an official.

This is the idea of ​​the king of the Han Dynasty.

So there is a story about the Twenty-Four Filial Piety. Later generations can see that there are many filial filial behaviors, which have been passed down and evolved, and even many behaviors that are contrary to human ethics and morality have occurred.

What's more, who knows that those who do these filial piety and brotherhood are not doing show off?

Let’s talk about our actions and our hearts at this point.

Then, their entry into the officialdom through filial piety can only mean that these people are filial people, and it does not mean that they are good officials.

These are two different things.

Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao also appointed filial and honest officials as officials. During his time as a Han minister, he had seen too many colleagues who were both filial and honest officials, so during his career, he issued a list of recruitment. Xun Yu, the representative of the Yingchuan gentry, recommended a large number of extremely outstanding talents to Boss Cao.

The Song Dynasty examined "Poetry" and "Rites"; the Yuan Dynasty examined "Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism"; the Ming and Qing Dynasties examined eight-part essays.

This is the core examination content of the imperial examination system.

Then the reasons why these dynasties eventually perish will be found.

Since there is no problem with the core system, the reasons can only be found in these test questions.

"The Book of Zhou" has been passed down to create the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Why did the lifespan of the dynasty be shorter when it came to study in later dynasties and supplemented with so many Sasuke's disciplines?

It involves the development and destruction of the Chinese dynasty, and has a large number of views and discussions, including the Political Intra-volume and the Three Hundred Years of Death.

There are also relevant arguments from an economic perspective.

These arguments are well-founded and very well-stated.

Combining these arguments, we will return to the starting point, that is, the collapse of regime politics will lead to a series of destruction until the entire country.

In other words, it is easy to understand more directly, so let’s make a bold assumption.

If these officials at that time also understood what political intra-volume and economic intra-volume were, what regime politics, economic politics, national and national politics were, and had the ability to discover and solve problems in a timely manner, promote the progress and development of the dynasty and the times, and the court had a qualified mechanism to promote national development, would this country still perish?

Will it last forever and last forever?

This is an assumption, so you can discuss it slowly here without rushing.

Let’s talk about the main topic, it is still why the imperial examination system cannot select officials with this ability. As more and more bad policies have led to the difficulty of the country returning to destruction.

Then the answer is about to come out. The content of the imperial examination is not enough to give the ancients the vision of postmodern people. They cannot break out of the historical development laws of their own existence and cannot watch chess outside the board.

What our ancestors left behind are treasures of the Chinese nation and great heroes who have survived and passed down for 5,000 years. Even in later generations, the shadow of "The Book of Zhou" still exists in the plans we make for development and progress. This is a fact.

We must also face it, that is, the times are indeed developing. People cannot try to change the times, nor can they reverse the history. Instead, they should adapt to the development of the times, study hard and strengthen themselves to keep up with the pace of the times, and the wheel of history. This is the correct behavior.

The imperial examinations in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were all taking ancient books thousands of years ago, so the question arose?

The officials who have passed the imperial examination will naturally be influenced by these ancient books and classics, so it will be difficult for them to accept fresh matters and find out correctly and timely that the times have changed inadvertently.

If problems cannot be discovered, there is no mechanism to deal with them. The more problems arise, the more they are, the more difficult the country will not be able to recover.

When officials have problems, the regime has problems, and then there are major problems in politics.

Finally, the dynasty changed, leaving behind a three hundred years of death.

The Great Chu has been established, which means that a new country has emerged in the history of Chinese civilization, a country or dynasty called Great Chu.

Similarly, Da Chu inevitably faces this difficult problem.

The fundamentals of the country lie in politics, the fundamentals of politics lie in the regime, the fundamentals of the regime lie in officials, the fundamentals of the officials lie in the selection of officials, and the fundamentals of the imperial examination are now renamed the National Examination by Luo Yongsheng, so the fundamentals of the national examination are what the national examination is!

"Chu Dian" may not be such an excellent book. At least Luo Yongsheng himself read it, and with Wei Bingkun and even a group of scholars from Jiangxi, there are many things that are not as good as the spirit of the ancestors, but Chu Dian is more realistic and more in line with the current Great Chu.

"How can our great Chu develop and become prosperous and strong quickly? Then the content of "Chu Dian" must be in line with the needs of the country, so that batches of officials needed by the country can be cultivated. With the officials needed by the country, our country can become stronger and then achieve the goals set by the country faster.

When new goals are set in the future and new needs are available, the "Chu Dian" will be changed and then new officials will be recruited. Therefore, the "Chu Dian" is not static, and the country is not static.

Only in this way can our Great Chu become stronger and prosperous forever."

Luo Yongsheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, which was also difficult for him. Although he dealt with many officials in his previous life, he might not have a profound understanding and mastery of politics. Fortunately, since he came to this time and space to clarify the plan for rebellion, he did not dare to forget to study and think for so many years, so he summed up some general meaning.

This is the case when selecting officials, and the use of officials, as for governing officials.

"This can be investigated and the two judicial departments will discuss together. My Great Chu does not have a set of our own laws yet. So we should start by working on how to regulate officials, govern officials, punish and reward officials, and issue a set of laws that apply to officials, and then do a good job in governing officials. Then, fundamentally, the foundation of our Great Chu is laid.

If we lay a solid foundation, other things will be trivial matters. Let’s deal with them one by one and solve them bit by bit. I believe that in the prosperous era of Datong, a well-off life will not be far away."

Luo Yongsheng stretched his waist and made a crisp sound.

After sitting for more than an hour, I felt a little uncomfortable.

After getting up and moving for a few times, Luo Yongsheng smiled and said to himself: "The virtue of being unable to sit still is not like a king."

All three of them laughed.

"As a king, one should be as steady as Mount Tai, but it does not regulate the behavior of the king, but refers to the king's nature. The king has been calm and calm at the beginning of his rebellion. This ability has never been the right of the king, so the king is a wise king for the ages."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Luo Yongsheng pointed at Geng Baishun and laughed: "Geng Qing, your flattery is too slanderous. Gu is ashamed of it. Gu cannot do anything about Mount Tai collapsed before and his face remained unchanged. When Kou Zhong almost died in Shandong, Gu was also panicked and cruel."

He waved his hand and signaled that the three of them did not need to comfort themselves. He said again: "This man is afraid of being alone, and he is alone and not afraid of death. Unfortunately, if his death affects Wang Ye, he is full of ambitions and is unwilling to accept it, so he is afraid of this."

"The king cares about the world and is truly an example for all people."

"I dare not be a model, but I will be content if I can do my own job well."

After walking around, moving around, Luo Yongsheng sat back in his seat and looked at Wei Bingkun.

"Stay going, what else is there."

Wei Bingkun then stopped and turned his mind.

"Report to the great king, now our great Chu is in ruins and the restoration of all industries is urgently needed to employ people and labor. However, if we do not charge labor services, many places will inevitably have insufficient staff. In addition, the finances are too tight to provide money, so I asked for instructions. What should I do?"

The destruction of war is not only the destruction of people's homes, but also involves the damage of public buildings and facilities such as roads, rivers and canals. The restoration of such damage requires a large number of manpower.

If Luo Chu abolished Dingwei, then this problem will naturally become a big problem.

"It's another tricky thing."

Luo Yongsheng nodded. He didn't think about how to treat it for a while, so he looked at the three of them: "As the same sentence, everyone talks about what to do. Bing Kun, since this matter was first discovered, is there any draft to deal with it?"

"The easiest way is to temporarily restore corvee."

Wei Bingkun pondered for a moment and spoke, saying that something was not a solution: "When the situation in our Great Chu improves in the future, we will gradually abolish the corvee system. Now that the foundation is in development, we will still have to be a little harder and more tiring."

Temporarily restore the corvee system?

Luo Yongsheng did not make a statement in time, but looked at Geng Baishun and Yan Zhen, waiting for their attitudes.

Both of them frowned and thought deeply, and after a long time Yan Zhen shook his head.

"King, I think it's inappropriate."

"Say the reason."

"The abolition of Dingli was the first batch of kings since the founding of our great Chu business. Only then did we win over the hearts of the people in the world. Now that the world has not yet taken it, we have changed our orders every day. It is inappropriate, inappropriate."

"Then you have a good idea for the current difficulties."

Yan Zhen lost his words for a moment and stumbled and accused him of guilt.

"Where is the crime?" Luo Yongsheng frowned and waved: "There is no way to be wrong, and I can't do anything else, think about it again."

Then he looked at Geng Baishun, who spoke with a thorn in his mouth.

"The king, my ministers think it's better to borrow someone."

"Borrow someone?"

Luo Yongsheng blinked his eyes twice, and before he could understand, he listened to Geng Baishun's words again.

"Earlier, when the king was expeditioning north, General Zheng Yan led the Junwei team to work in counties and townships to expropriate landlords and return the people. According to the king's request, all the land acquired shall be borrowed by the court by credit, and the court will pay the land to these cooperative landlords at the land price in the future.

Since the land can be borrowed from credit, can it be okay? The yamen recruits workers and provides meals, but the labor expenses are not settled for the time being. I will pay them back slowly when I have money in the future. The longer the time I owe, I will make up for the money."
