Warring States

Even in this period of the power of the benefactor of heaven, as long as the lord is weaker, there will be powerful ministers. Among the ministers of the Yi Kingdom who wanted to support Huan Zhen at the beginning, there were a few loyal ones, but because they saw that Huan Zhen was always weak and indisputable. They thought that this was a deceitful monarch, but they didn't expect that Huan Zhen would unexpectedly rise strongly and disrupt their plans.

Huan Zhen's prestige in Yi State is unshakable. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities for Huan Zhen to show his strength, and soon someone will forget it. Volunteering or being used by others, he will be pushed out to test Huan Zhen. Really to the bottom line of the ministers.This is the way of the game between the monarch and his ministers. No matter what era it is, it is unavoidable. Even under the command of Zong Zong, who is as powerful as Yaoguo, there will be some courtiers who will jump out. Zong Zong's solution is the simplest, just kill him. As a result, there are very few people who commit stupidity, Huan Zhen's handling methods are less bloody, and under the temptation step by step, there are more people in the court who dare to speak and criticize than Yao Guo.

Huan Zhen wanted to promote education, but he did not bring it up at the court meeting. After all, the current financial situation is not good, and there is no way to implement it nationwide. He also needs to find a pilot project to see the situation. Only after it is perfected can it be implemented.Inside and outside the capital, I found a few pilot sites, turned a few pieces of land, and asked Xi Sen to find a few gentlemen before Huan Zhen announced that these places were schools, and the children of Yi Guo who lived around were six years old. Those above and below the age of 15 can enter it to read and practice calligraphy.

Those who are willing to study in the school have to pay the tuition fee. Most of the families around the capital can afford that fee. If there is a special hardship, as long as it is verified, a certain degree of subsidy can be provided, etc. Pay back later.This is Sisen's suggestion. He understands the inferiority of human beings very well. If you give them something for nothing, it will not help, but harm. It is better to let them bear a little debt so that they know how to work hard.Because it is an official matter, I am not afraid of repaying the debt. You must know that people who want to read and practice calligraphy must have certain expectations for the future. If you dare to owe the official account, you will have left a bad record on the record. How can the official use it.Sisen made this point clear, and the students will know the relevant regulations after they enroll.

As for the food, with Huanzhen running Yiguo, the common people can't do without a bite, and there are Huanzhen formations around the capital, which guarantees a good harvest, and there will be no shortage of food, so don't worry about it. One less fee.However, Huan Zhen had to think about what to do in other difficult areas. Compared with the newly merged Wei Kingdom, there were not many people in that area who could afford the tuition fees, not to mention the problem of food and clothing.Huan Zhen thought about the problems he was going to face in the future, so he couldn't help rubbing his forehead, so that Xi Sen had to say something to remind his lord that it was really a long time later, so there was no need to worry so much, and besides, At that time, under the wise leadership of the monarch, that area has long been prosperous.Huan Zhen is right when he thinks about it, the first problem is to make the lives of the common people better.

As the news spread, the most joyful people were the ordinary people who did not have the right to read and practice calligraphy.In the deep-rooted concept, those who can read and write are the rich and powerful. Once these people work hard, in addition to buying property, the most important thing is to enable their children and grandchildren to be able to read and write.Now the monarch is merciful and willing to let the children of ordinary people like them be qualified to read and practice calligraphy. How unhappy the people are, such a little tuition fee is not a problem, and food is taken care of by themselves. Of course, the distance is far away, it doesn’t matter. How can it be so delicate, it's just a little more walking, it's much better than their outer skin.

Parents were very enthusiastic about asking questions, pulling their children over, and registering for school. How could such an opportunity be missed.They have no hope in this life, but if their children can read and practice calligraphy, they will have a good future.Which parents don't think about their children, even if they are not understood by their children, their starting point is for their children's good.Some children are naive and don’t know what reading and calligraphy mean, and instinctively hate it for delaying their play time. There are also precocious children who have been taught by hard life. They know very well what reading and calligraphy mean to their future.

The people are so enthusiastic, the rich and powerful are unexpectedly silent, they are thinking about what their monarch is going to do.They have always regarded reading and calligraphy as their privileges. They never thought that one day they would enjoy this privilege with those lowly people. They feel uncomfortable, but many people don't think that this will affect them. The background is there, even if these civilians can read and practice calligraphy, the future still depends on them.Just look at those declining families. Just knowing how to read and practice calligraphy doesn't mean anything.

Of course, there are also those who are a little shrewd, who discovered the hidden dangers of ordinary people's reading and writing. Yes, at first they would rely on them to survive, but later, they got up and occupied the position that belonged to them. It is not impossible to take away the privileges you have.Those who see through this have no choice but to object. Although the future has not yet come, the signs must be curbed for the sake of their family's status.

During a court meeting, someone suddenly raised an opinion on the schools open to the common people, and that was pushed out by these behind-the-scenes to test what the monarch thinks.Huan Zhen closed his eyes and listened, he knew that some dignitaries realized that their status had been shaken, this was the action they took, and wanted to curb the behavior of the civilians who took power.Reading and writing are the most basic abilities needed to master authority. With this basic ability, you can involve more. This is the general trend.

This is just a place to try out, and it has attracted attention and precautions. The difficult road ahead has long been expected, but Huan Zhen is still disappointed among his subordinates, those who only care about their own self-interest.Requiring everyone to be a saint and think about others, Huan Zhen is not that stupid, he just hopes that when paying attention to his own interests, these people can think more about the country and the people. Minister of the country, shouldn't he?Only when this country exists, and only when this country is strong, can they enjoy rights and have more benefits. Why don't they think about it?

Huan Zhen actually didn’t mean to be hostile to the rich and powerful, to ban the powerful and powerful. The powerful and powerful are not completely corrupt and incompetent. Yi Guo has come to the present, and the help of these powerful and powerful families is indispensable. They will all assume such a position before standing up.They are deeply ingrained, and they have too much control. If they mess up, it will also mess up the country. Huan Zhen never thought that at least at this stage, it is not the time to mess with them.

As long as someone rises, the family will continue to appear. History has told Huan Zhen this fact, so he never chose to ban it. The family is decayed, and it will naturally be eliminated. As long as the nobles are regulated, even the family will only help the country. Not a burden.In this war-torn era, talking about democracy is ridiculous. The so-called democracy, in this era, can never compare with the value that a strong and wise monarch can achieve.What's more, this is a world of grace, and 50 years of reincarnation will always create a new privileged class. Even if it becomes a democratic society in the future, it will not be able to change the particularity of the world of grace.The benefactors are always the privileged class, always above most ordinary people.

Huan Zhen listened, fiddled with the rosary in his hand, and let the quarrel among the ministers grow louder. In today's court, there are many people who are loyal to Huan Zhen. They resolutely maintain all the policies of Huan Zhen. Those who flirtatiously stand on Huan Zhen's side are entirely for the purpose of gaining Huan Zhen's favor, so that he can be promoted. Different concepts make the court meeting lively.During this quarrel, Huan Zhen distinguished the affiliation of the ministers, what the ministers wanted to test, and what they revealed.A king must have the ability to govern the country, and he must also have the means to control his subjects, whether he is tolerant and indulgent, or cruel and cruel, no matter which one is, there is only one thing that cannot be surpassed, that is, the authority of the king is higher than that of his subjects.

Being a superior person is not only about enjoying, but more about domination that consumes effort. Huan Zhen dislikes it very much. He prefers to be leisurely and enjoy the elegant days of enjoying flowers and boats, rather than being absorbed in various government affairs to show his own strength. Authority, but his character prevents him from letting go of his responsibilities, allowing him to enjoy authority with peace of mind, but not thinking about the people and the country. He is so tired, he can only say he asked for it.

The noise is getting louder and the controversial matters are getting more and more deviated from the theme. The whole solemn court hall has turned into a noisy vegetable market on the street. Huan Zhen is still silent, but he is already getting annoyed in his heart. Nephew grow up quickly so that he can throw these things out.The steadfastness in Huan Zhen's heart made the court feel that, gradually, someone realized the silence of the monarch and the noise in the court, and the silence was like an epidemic, and began to spread bit by bit.Everyone is aware of the monarch's unswerving silence.

"Finish?" After the court meeting quieted down, Huan Zhen stopped moving the rosary, opened his eyes, and glanced at the subjects with indifferent eyes. Kneeling quietly on the ground.Three years ago when Huan Zhen came back from the courtyard, the smell of blood that brought Yi Guo seemed to reappear. Could it be that every time their monarch came back from the courtyard, he would bring a gust of blood and rain, making people tremble and fear.

"It's over, let me say it. I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it again, that's it." Huan Zhen got up and announced his will domineeringly. He is the king and has the right to act arbitrarily.Democracy is not necessary for ministers who only think about themselves.
