New Shun 1730

One "使" and one "连" sound similar. But at this time, especially in memorials to the emperor, the choice of words and sentences must be cautious and clear.

Li Gan looked at the word "连" that he had erased from Liu Yu's remarks inadvertently over the years, and thought about it.

The Dazai chapter of "Zhou Li" says: The third is official alliance, to meet officials to govern. Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty commented: Official alliance means that the country's major events cannot be handled by one official alone, and the six officials jointly raise them. Raising together is called alliance.

Especially after Dashun experienced the various slogans of the regime in the late Ming Dynasty, such as "Union Road to quell the thieves", "Union Road to control the thieves", and "Union Ming Bao Tianxia". The word "连", first of all, has a meaning of equal treatment.

At the beginning, Liu Yu stood out from the inscription on the Yongning Temple. At that time, Li Gan felt that it was normal to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He just read some military books and wanted to emulate General Li's military management.

But later, for more than ten years, Li Gan felt a little curious about his servants' correct names and various actions in the army.

If a person is artificial or fake, it is impossible for him to be the same for more than ten years. Only if he is like this in his heart can he be consistent in appearance and reality. But considering Liu Yu's background, it is hard to say that it is not strange.

But this kind of strangeness can't be figured out after all. Li Gan thought about it for a while, just smiled, and threw the old memorial with the smudges aside.

He put the paper with the word "circle" in the book, thought about it, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to say it was a circle.

Circles are pigs, cattle and sheep. Shes are chickens, ducks and geese.

It seems that it is more like a farmer raising chickens, and she can usually get eggs. But if she is really hungry, she can't care so much, and can only kill the chickens for meat.

The saying in the court is to restore the old system of buying pounces in the Song Dynasty, according to the story of six hundred years ago.

But Li Gan knew that the old system of buying and playing in the Song Dynasty was actually different. We could only wait and see what the future would be like.

People in this era are always full of anxiety about new things and fear of the unknown.

Unlike the decades after the steam engine was introduced, human confidence expanded to an unprecedented level, believing that everything in the universe can only be deduced by reason, and human inventions can change everything, including the entire universe, and are always full of beautiful fantasies and expectations for new things.

In this era, the dead people who crawled out of the coffin three hundred years ago only need a few days to perfectly adapt to all the life at this time. The scholars of three hundred years ago can still pass the examination here, and may not even need to learn anything more. Grandpa's experience is always useful, so he is more and more full of an inexplicable anxiety about new things.

As an emperor, Li Gan's anxiety and fear are even worse. It's just that Liu Yu has been around for a long time, and he has communicated more and more, and he seems to always be able to say what kind of changes will be brought to those things he has never seen. After all, people at this time are not afraid of new things, but are essentially afraid of the unknown that cannot be learned from history.

For this reason, Li Gan agreed to Liu Yu's request to go to the West. He wanted to see what problems would arise with those new things after Liu Yu left, whether it was the navy, trading companies, immigration, or the new whale sea system.

In a vague way, Li Gan actually had some doubts that Liu Yu "reported good news but not bad news".

As long as he was there, he would quietly regulate and there would not be something that would make the emperor uneasy or unhappy.

So Li Gan wanted him to leave for a while to see and see clearly.

Going to the West would take at least two or three years. If there was no Liu Yu here to fiddle with it, any problems would have appeared.

Li Gan vaguely felt that he had been silently removing some hidden worries and taking precautions, so that he, as the emperor, could only see the things that Liu Yu wanted him to see.

This was not a crime of deceiving the emperor, but a kind of cognition that Liu Yu's consistent performance over the years had given the emperor. Just like the previous battle in the Western Regions, he first killed the leader with a borrowed knife, forcing the court to follow his plan. Although it was similar to the court's design, the emperor had already warned Liu Yu at the time.

And this time in the war against Japan, Liu Yu's actions were not out of line. But his "incurable" style of planning for Japan and the issue of sea power made Li Gan deepen this feeling.

Before the problem arises, strangle the problem in the cradle, instead of waiting for the problem to arise and then solve it.

Is it the same for these new things? Could it be that these new things are not all as good as Liu Yu said, but have big problems in themselves, but Liu Yu has been sitting in control, so that these big problems have been suppressed before they show signs.

What is the purpose? The emperor still trusts Liu Yu, it is nothing more than Liu Yu thinks that this road is good for Dashun and the country.

It's just that these innovations are afraid of any problems, which makes the emperor worried, or it is said that he is afraid of choking and cutting off the possibility of this road.

The imperial power is supreme, and this issue itself is a question of trust.

Trust, then this is commendable, and the intention is good.

If there is no trust, then the intention is to be punished, and there are ulterior motives.

At this time, the trust is strong, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and he looks like a model of a minister. But Li Gan still hopes that he can see with his own eyes what these new things are like when Liu Yu is not around.

In other words, after these new things have problems, can he, the emperor, or the other ministers in the court deal with them?

If so, then this path is of course no problem.

But what if not?

Liu Yu has always said that he is just an average person. He also said that the commander of the Dutch who occupied Taiwan and the hundreds of people who destroyed the South American Empire were actually third- and fourth-rate people.

As for Tokugawa Yoshimune on the Japanese side, he is also a first- or second-rate person among the Tokugawa family's successors.

Li Gan considered the Japanese system and some of Tokugawa Yoshimune's reform policies, and admitted that Liu Yu was indeed a first- or second-rate person, but he could only stay in that circle after all.

But such a first- or second-rate person in the old era was beaten by a third- or fourth-rate person like Liu Yu without any ability to fight back, and even forced to the point of not knowing what to do.

This is a problem.

Li Gan thought, if the old people cannot face and deal with new things, and do not seek to "cure the disease", if they do not even have the means to "cure minor diseases without going deep", they will be at a loss in the face of new things and be at a loss...

Then this is not a trivial matter.

Or, choose to return everything to the old times.

Otherwise, the imperial examination, selection, scriptures, etc., all need to be changed.

As for the latter, it cannot be touched.

Li Gan wanted to open practical schools, but one reason was purely for the army, especially the navy.

The second reason was to solve the problem of good family children during his lifetime, so as to prevent his descendants from being incompetent in the future, unable to balance or suppress those good family children, and eventually become a group of cancer that cannot be cut off. It is necessary to popularize what good family children learn, so as to contain and add sand.

But he never thought of reforming the imperial examination. Even when the Dashun Dynasty was founded, the imperial examination was hurriedly held in Xi'an, presided over by the five tigers of Donglin, Hui Shiyang, and the right Pingzhangshi of Dashun.

Whoever touches the imperial examination will die, and Li Gan is still clear about this.

Before, the Dashun Dynasty changed the imperial examination once, which was a small-scale change, in order to make it as fair as possible so that poor families could also enter the emperor's hall. At most, in the early selection, the policy essays that were too subjective and required financial resources, family knowledge, etc. were moved to the later stage after the Jinshi, and the eight-part essays with a fixed format were reused before, and the poor people had a chance to read a few books.

As for the earlier ones, it was before the founding of the Dashun Dynasty that the three-house system for good families was set to restrain the situation of the imperial examination being the only one. It was not necessarily to avoid the situation that Wang Anshi's reform used the three-house system and even partisan struggles, which led to such a strange dual-track system.

But now, if new things must be dealt with by new people, or if old people can't deal with them at all, then this problem is big.

Because this will break the balance of the court.

In the past, people who came from the Wude Palace and the imperial examination could deal with old things.

To be a county magistrate, those who have passed the imperial examination can be the magistrate, and those who have passed the Wude Palace can also be the magistrate, with little difference.

To be a prime minister, those who have passed the imperial examination can be the magistrate, and those who have passed the Wude Palace can also be the magistrate.

No one is bound to anything, so the emperor can mediate and watch the fight between tigers, thereby maintaining the situation, and there is no need to worry about one party dominating.

But if only new people can handle new things, and old people are completely unable to deal with new things, then the problem becomes that a group of people in the court and a group of people in the world are bound together.

That is much more terrible than the party struggles in the Song Dynasty.

The party struggles in the Song Dynasty were ultimately only within the court. The new party and the old party were still a group of people, but with different routes.

If it turns out to be the worst situation that Li Gan imagined, what is the struggle between the new party and the old party in the Song Dynasty?

If there is a slightly incompetent successor in the future, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the world, and the struggle between the new and the old will determine the winner, and whoever wins must kill the other party.

Not only will the people in the court die, but also the power they represent will die.

Although this sign was not very obvious at this time, Li Gan had already noticed it after opening his eyes and looking at the outside world. This is the emperor's occupational disease and a unique occupational sensitivity. He vaguely felt that Liu Yu was not hiding anything, but had solved the problem before it happened, so that he could not see the problem.

Or...

Is it "incurable"?

Or if it is a doctor's theory, the body is sick, but Liu Yu, the doctor, always prescribes some pain-relieving ointment. It doesn't hurt after taking it, and it doesn't hurt after taking it all the time, so it seems that there is no disease. But the disease has not been eliminated. One day in the future, this disease will reach the level of "disease in the end"?

Thinking of this, Li Gan called the eunuch and said, "Go and find the memorial of the Whale Marquis requesting the establishment of a trading company and the sailor reserve service system."

Many of Liu Yu's memorials are quite thoughtful, and many copies are kept. The eunuchs who are close to the emperor can get close to the emperor, so they have some means, and being knowledgeable and strong is the most basic.

Soon, the letter was found from a pile of preserved memorials.
