sweeping the world

Chapter 1044 Sinology
Ji Chang has served as prime minister since the sixth year of Yuanshuo, and the Han Empire did not reform until the 13th year of Yuanshuo. He had been prime minister for seven years before. If there was no restructuring, he should step down from the position of prime minister, maybe It's an honorary support, or it may be transferred to the Shaofu or the Imperial City to take up some honorary official positions. It is really impossible to die of old age in the position of prime minister.

Having been the No. 1 civil servant for so many years, Ji Chang felt that he could not achieve many achievements. Setting the census every three years as a permanent rule was one, and villages were formed into towns.what else?Road construction can be credited, but it is actually the military's credit.

What Ji Chang regrets most is that when he was the prime minister, the people's livelihood within the Han Empire did not get the development he wanted, not to mention the time of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, no matter what he wanted to look like Empress Lu at that time, but he didn't.

The Han Empire is different from the previous dynasties. The prime minister is not the head of a hundred officials, but the head of civil officials.Military officer No. 1 is Taiwei, which means that civil and military powers have been divided from the very beginning, and no one should try to take advantage of anyone, let alone interfere with anyone.

If the Han Empire enters a period of internal affairs development, Ji Chang is still very happy to lead the cabinet. The problem is that the country has entered a state of war again.The scale of this war will far exceed the previous ones, and the so-called wartime cabinet must be another existence that works hard for the military, and even needs to wipe the military's ass.

"Huh?" Liu Yan saw Ji Chang's attitude. He couldn't say he was angry. Before he could name anyone, he stopped talking and said a few other words before saying: "Since it is a wartime cabinet, Let the military send someone out."

Ji Chang felt tightness in his chest, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Your Majesty?" Sang Yu said with a smile: "Those who have been transferred to civilian jobs think day and night to lead the troops again."

"..." Of course Liu Yan knew about this matter, he had personally listened to those people's requests, and hadn't made a decision yet, but he still preferred to let those people go back to lead the troops, but he said: "Talent, I am so short of it. "

In a time of war, even if there are talents, most of them understand war. It is almost luck to meet someone who can handle internal affairs, or even handle internal affairs well.

It is not the current era that is easy to produce talents who are good at internal affairs. The reason is not that Liu Yan does not pay attention or dig it, but that the Central Plains has been ravaged by the Hulu for a long time. There is no so-called prosperous age, and there is no room for reading. Talents in internal affairs.

Civilian talents need to have enough accumulated knowledge, but it is not as easy as a warrior with a good physique. Brain exercises are always much more difficult than muscles.

In troubled times, fierce generals are the most likely to emerge, and fierce generals don't need much knowledge, they just need to be brave enough to fight.

Looking at the beginning of the founding of all dynasties, unless the previous dynasty had extreme brilliance, the next dynasty was willing to accept those surrenders and give them high positions, otherwise the talent gap is inevitable.

The three ministers simply had nothing to say. For a ruler who governs a country, there are never too many talents.

In fact, Liu Yan can still find a lot of talents who are good at handling internal affairs, they are the so-called gentry composed of the original powerful and aristocratic families.

The group of gentry who joined Liu Yan early basically had their own positions.Some people who were hypocritical or stubborn before, let alone whether Liu Yan is willing to use them, even if he is willing to accept them, the resistance in the court will be very strong.

As the failed and tough side, they will kneel and lick desperately from behind, and the new court will inevitably not accept it. It is not simply a matter of the division of rights, but also about the seriousness of the definition of victory.

To put it simply, if you fail, you don't need to bear the price, so did you win?

The winning side, after accepting the losers, still accepts as much as they come. Has the ruling team changed?What is the reason for beating a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

The flowers of revolution always need blood to irrigate. Liu Yan used Huan Wen as a knife to bloody the south once, but it was kindness not to wipe out all those powerful families and families.

After all, from the perspective of cause and effect, the Han people in the north were almost extinct once. It is absolutely true that the pot was knocked on the heads of these so-called gentry in the south. How can the Han people in the north be almost wiped out? Some price?

There is actually no shortage of middle and low-level officials in the Han Empire. No matter what, Liu Yan has been engaged in basic education for nearly ten years.

Although it is only 17 years from the initial stage to the 13th year of Yuanshuo, there are still a group of people who have received education. What they receive is similar to modern duck-feeding education, which is the kind of assembly line production, and literacy has been popularized. , But if you want to go one step further, you need to study again, which will produce the education method of high-end talents.

Literacy means being able to understand official documents. Being able to do this in this era basically means having the capital to be an official.

Liu Yan opened Taixue in the 11th year of Yuanshuo, which is the highest institution of the Han Empire. Among the students admitted, less than [-]% came from basic education, and the rest were basically educated by the original family Taxi.

Among the [-]%, more than [-]% are descendants of senior officials and nobles in the court, [-]% are scholars from the north, and the remaining [-]% are scholars from the south.

Discrimination against the South is the current political correctness, which can be regarded as a kind of targeted liquidation.

In fact, there must be targeting and liquidation, otherwise the northerners will always be hostile to the southerners, thinking that when the northerners encounter misfortune, the south is not only indifferent but also sings every night, one can imagine what it will be like Thoughts and moods.

Currently targeting the south, Liu Yan is actually making up for the gap between the north and the south. Only after doing so, those who should be punished will be done. The northerners will no longer feel that the southerners are not their own, and the gap between the north and the south can be minimized. .

"Your Majesty, are you going to the south next month to support the expedition fleet?" Ji Chang walked one body behind Liu Yan: "Spanning tens of thousands of miles across the ocean is something that has never been seen before. Is it necessary for the big man to act like this?"

They had already returned to Miyagi, stepping on the lawn.

In the dynasties before the Han Empire, there was only one example of Zhuxia launching an attack from the sea, and that was the war against Korea in the Western Han Dynasty.

This time the Romans and Persians took the lead in setting up an anti-Han axis. The Han Empire had already approached Sasan from the land. Once Li Kuang had enough troops, he would immediately launch an attack on Sasan.

Rome is very far away from the Han Empire. If the Han Empire did not have an ocean-going fleet, it would be fine. It can only be vented by waiting for a day to penetrate from the land.

The Han Empire had an unrivaled fleet. Not only did Liu Yan not intend to endure it, it should be said that the vast majority of Han people were unwilling to endure it. The expeditionary fleet was formed under this trend.

"The Great Han used the demise of the Gupta Dynasty to tell the world that even if they offended the Han people, even if they could not send troops on land, the Great Han still had a powerful navy to maintain justice and destroy the country of those who dared to humiliate the Great Han."

Liu Yan somewhat felt that Ji Chang was becoming more and more out of tune with him, but he knew that Ji Chang was right in some respects.He is not an intolerant person, and at the same time understands that the center still needs to have other voices, and treat Ji Chang with the greatest tolerance.

"If a person is bullied and does not dare to resist, he is doomed to be bullied all the time, and no one will pity him. If a country encounters a challenge but does not fight back, it means that the glory of this country has passed, and it has begun to go downhill. , and not long before extinction."

After hearing what Liu Yan said, Ji Chang fell silent.He is not afraid of war, but thinks that the Han Empire is engaged in war almost every year, and the people have no chance to breathe. Before that, so many enemies were not wiped out, even if it was just to clean up because the Western Jin and Eastern Jin were incapable of bringing the Han people. Shame, grit your teeth and wipe out those enemies.

The countries and races that bullied the Han people were destroyed one after another, and some of them were completely wiped out from the country to the race, and their complete disappearance was used to reset the fact that the Han people stood up again.

Those countries and races that have been completely wiped out are the nourishment for the Han people to rise again, and make the Han people who once became inferior become confident again.

A nation must have self-confidence in order to build a strong country. Otherwise, no matter how large the territory is, no matter how strong the country is, with a group of timid citizens, the center will not be able to be tough if it wants to be tough. It is inevitable that it will always be in a passive position. Even when he was slapped, he still asked with a shy smile, "I slapped the left cheek, do you want to slap the right cheek again?" I slapped the right cheek hard again, and continued to ask with the same smile, "Do you want to pay tribute?" ? I’ll give you money, don’t beat me too hard, or there will be no tribute!”.

Liu Yan knew that it was not a joke, if history had not changed, such a nation (country) would really appear in the future, named Dadong.

"Tai'an..." Liu Yan stopped, stared at Ji Chang, and said, "I never knew when you started advocating Huang Lao's theory. Why do you think that resting with the people is just letting things go?"

The Huang-Lao theory does not say that resting with the people means letting things go, but that they will formulate loose national policies, and once sacrifice the law to ensure a false peace.

In fact, when it comes to governing the country, the Huang-Lao theory is the most suitable existence in classical society, which is an ironclad proof that history has repeatedly proved with facts.It's just that Huang Lao's theory of sacrificing the law is not good, and it is too easy to breed dynamic groups in society.

Liu Yan didn't read much, and he didn't study history specifically, and he wasn't familiar with every dynasty, but he somehow knew that Huang Lao had never perished, and in fact he had been active again in the Daxun and Youming generations.

Those dynasties in which imperial power does not go to the countryside, no matter whether Confucianism is willing to admit it or not, are actually playing the same set of Huang-Lao theory, but most of the time they are playing with four different images. The other is to use Huang-Lao theory to fight against the power. Attached to the country and continued to suck blood until the dynasty was destroyed.

The disadvantage of using the Huang-Lao theory is that either the later imperial court usually needs to kill some groups of people. If it can be corrected, there will be a ZTE situation; if there is no successful reform in the process of killing people, basically The first thing is to wait for the alien race (enemy country) to come in, and then the picture of rolling heads will not be changed.

Ji Chang was stunned for a moment.He doesn't think he is a follower of the Huang-Lao theory, or even a believer of any school of thought.

Long-term ruling experience has long made Ji Chang understand a truth. If you want to govern a country well, the knowledge and ideas of any school alone are not enough. You should gather the advantages of hundreds of schools and use pragmatism to judge. Use whichever environment is suitable for which theory of governance.

"That's the miscellaneous family." Liu Yan said that he still reads, especially after he became the throne, he read a lot of theories: "The miscellaneous family will be destroyed by Lu Buwei, otherwise..."

The so-called miscellaneous schools are characterized by "combining Confucianism, Mohism, and law", emphasizing the feature of "the way of all schools of thought is interlinked".To put it bluntly, it is a collection of the elders of a hundred schools of thought.

Lu Buwei, as the leader of the Zajia generation, was not a failure in his governance, but a failure in political struggle.

History only focuses on the records of the first emperor's sweep of the world, ignoring the accumulation of previous generations of kings, and even more neglected are the achievements of Lu Buwei as prime minister.

If you take a look at the Qin State during the years when General Ying Zheng was not in power, you will find that under Lu Buwei's governance, the Qin State not only unified and sorted out the military and political affairs, but also maximized the national funds and grain. Otherwise, how could Ying Zheng start a war for unification if the country had no money and food?
Miscellaneous?Ji Chang hadn't thought about this before, but when Liu Yan mentioned it, he thought that he was really a miscellaneous in terms of the definition of school.

"But the big man doesn't distinguish any schools now. There are no schools, and some are just Sinology." Liu Yan is doing this matter as a lifelong event: "I never thought of restarting the contention of schools of thought. School? It will become He was a schoolboy, and then he was labeled because of his different origins, fighting for the sake of fighting, and party disputes broke out."

Ji Chang remained silent.From his perspective, he could understand what Liu Yan was saying, and it was because he understood that he was silent.

"It is enough to have a Sinology." Liu Yan smiled heartily: "The theory of the great Han."

What Ji Chang thought in silence was that the imperial power has always been able to guide knowledge, and in many cases even failed to guide it. Will the contemporary intellectuals cooperate with Liu Yan to integrate all theories into a unified Sinology?

Liu Yan seemed to guess what he was thinking from Ji Chang's expression, and said: "If they don't cooperate, I will not hire them. They say that they learn martial arts, and they are good for the emperor's family. After they learn it, it is difficult for them to use themselves. Will you be willing to acquire more talents and knowledge? Except for some stubborn people with abnormal brains, knowledgeable people... especially the so-called everyone, are still very sensible."

Ji Chang was speechless...
