Chapter 1044

Ji Chang took up the post of prime minister from the sixth year of Yuanshuo to the 13th year of Yuanshuo before the reform of the Han Empire. He had been prime minister for seven years before. If there was no reform, he should retire from the position of prime minister, either for honor and support, or transferred to Shaofu or imperial city to assume some honorary official positions. It is impossible to die of old in the position of prime minister.

Ji Chang, who has been the first civil servant for so many years, does not think he can get much success. It is an example to set the census once every three years, and the village into a town is one. What else? Road construction can be counted in the name, but it is actually the credit of the military.

Ji Chang most regretted that when he was Prime Minister, the people's livelihood within the Han Empire did not get the development he wanted. It was not said that during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, it had to look like empress Lu at that time, but it didn't.

The Han Dynasty was different from the previous dynasties. The prime minister was not the first of all officials, but the head of civil servants. The first military officer is a Taiwei, which is equal to the division of civil and military powers from the beginning. No one wants to take advantage of anyone, let alone interfere with anyone.

If the Han Empire would enter a period of internal development, Ji Chang would still be 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 be much larger than before. The so-called wartime cabinet must be another existence that works hard for the military and even needs to wipe its ass for the military.

"Well?" Liu Yan saw Ji Chang's attitude. He couldn't say he was angry. He didn't open that mouth again before he had time to call the roll. He pulled a few other words before he said, "since it's a wartime cabinet, let's send people from the military."

Jichang's chest was stuffy and his old blood almost gushed out.

"Your Majesty?" Sang Yu said with a smile, "those who have been transferred to civilian work want to lead the troops again day and night."

"..." of course, Liu Yan knew about it. He also listened to those people's requests and didn't make a resolution for the time being. However, he still tended to let those go back to lead the troops, but he said, "I'm short of talents."

In a world of war, even if there are talented people, most of them understand war. When they meet people who can handle internal affairs or even handle internal affairs well, they are almost lucky.

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 to or dig. It is how long the Central Plains has been ravaged by Hu captives. Without the so-called prosperous era, there is no room for reading. Without this space, how can we produce talents in internal affairs.

Civilian talents need to have enough knowledge accumulation, but it is not as easy as martial people with good physique. Mental exercise is always much more difficult than muscle.

In troubled times, the most likely thing is a fierce general, who doesn't need much knowledge. He just needs to dare to fight and fight.

At the beginning of the founding of all dynasties, unless the previous dynasty had extreme glory, and the next Dynasty was willing to accept those ministers and give them high positions, otherwise talent fault is inevitable.

The three ministers simply said nothing. There are never too many talents for the rulers of a country.

In fact, Liu Yan can still find many talents who are good at dealing with internal affairs, that is, the so-called gentry composed of the original door lords and aristocratic families.

The gentry who joined Liu Yan early basically had their own positions. Some of the original hypocritical or rigid people, do not say whether Liu Yan is willing to use it, that is, he is willing to accept it, and the resistance force in the court will be very strong.

As the defeated and tough side, they are the kneeling and licking of the back, and the new court will not accept it. It is not just about the thinning of power, but about the seriousness of the definition of victory.

In short, if you don't have to bear the cost of failure, did you win?

The victorious side, after accepting the losers, still accepts as many as they come. Has the ruling team changed? What is it for.

The flower of revolution always needs blood to be watered. Liu Yan ruthlessly bled the South with Huanwen as a knife, but it was kind not to destroy all the door lords and aristocratic families.

After all, from the perspective of cause and effect, the Han people in the north were almost extinct. It's absolutely right to knock on the heads of the so-called gentry in the south. How can any Han people in the north be killed? As the initiator, the runaway gentry in the south don't need to pay their due price?

At present, there is no shortage of middle and low-level officials in the Han Empire. However, Liu Yan has engaged in basic education for nearly ten years.

Although it is only 13 years from the initial stage to the 17th year of Yuanshuo, there are still a group of people who have received education. They receive education similar to modern duck feeding education, that is, assembly line production is general, and literacy has been popularized. However, if they want to go further, they need to study again, so as to produce high-end talents.

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

Liu Yan opened the Imperial College in the 11th year of Yuanshuo, that is, the highest University in the Han Empire. Among the students admitted, less than 20% are from basic education, and the rest are basically scholars from the original family education.

Among those 80%, more than 50% are descendants of high-ranking officials in the court, 20% are northern scholars, and the remaining 10% are southern scholars.

Discrimination against the south is currently politically correct and can be regarded as a kind of targeted liquidation.

In fact, it must be targeted and liquidated. Otherwise, the northerners will always be hostile to the southerners. They think that when the northerners encounter misfortune, the south is not only indifferent but also singing all night. We can imagine what kind of thoughts and feelings it will be.

At present, when it comes to the south, Liu Yan is actually making up for the rift between the north and the south. Only after doing so, those who should be punished do it. Northerners no longer feel that southerners are not their own people, and the gap between the north and the South can be minimized.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the south next month for the expedition fleet?" Ji Chang walked behind Liu Yan: "it's something that has never been seen in ancient times. Is it necessary for a big man to act like this?"

They had returned to Miyagi and stepped on the lawn.

In the dynasties before the Han Empire, there was only one example of Zhuxia launching an attack from the sea, that is, the war against Korea in the Western Han Dynasty. We can't find it again.

This time, the Romans and Persians led an anti Han axis. The Han Empire had approached sassanne from the land. Once Li Kuang had enough troops, he would attack sassanne immediately.

Rome is very far away from the Han Empire. If the Han Empire didn't have an ocean fleet, it would be just waiting for the day when it was pierced from the land.

The Han Empire has a powerful and unmatched fleet. Not only did Liu Yan not intend to bear it, it should be said that the vast majority of Han people were unwilling to bear it. The expedition fleet was formed under this trend.

"The Great Han told the world with the collapse of the Gupta dynasty that he had offended the Han people. Even if he could not send troops on land, the Great Han still had a strong navy to maintain justice and destroy the country of people who dared to humiliate the Great Han."

Liu Yan feels that Ji Chang is more and more out of step with himself, but he knows that Ji Chang is right in some ways. He is not a person without tolerance. At the same time, he understands that the center still needs other voices and treats Ji Chang with the greatest tolerance.

"If a person is bullied and dare not resist, he is destined to be bullied all the time, and no one will pity him. If a country encounters challenges and does not rise up and fight back, it shows that the glory of the country has become the past, and it has not been long since it began to go downhill."

Ji Chang was silent after hearing what Liu Yan said. He was not afraid of war, but thought that the Han Empire was fighting almost every year, and the people didn't get any chance to breathe. Before, so many enemy aggressors had not been eliminated, even just to wash away the shame brought to the Han people by the incompetence of the western and Eastern Jin Dynasties. They should be eliminated by gritting their teeth.

The countries and races that once bullied the Han people have been destroyed one after another, and even several have been completely wiped out from the country to the race, and their complete disappearance has re established the fact that the Han people stand up again.

Those countries and races that have been wiped out are the nourishment of the rise of the Han people again, which makes the Han people who once became inferior again become confident.

A nation must have self-confidence in order to build a powerful country. Otherwise, no matter how big the territory is, no matter how strong the national strength is, there are a group of timid citizens. If the center wants to be tough, it can't be tough. It can't be avoided that it will always be in a passive position to be beaten. Even if it is beaten, it has to be shy and smile and ask "hit the left face, do you want to hit the right face again", He slapped his right face again, continued to smile and asked, "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 was not a joke. If history had not changed, there would really be such a nation (country) in the future, called Da Cong.

"Tai'an..." Liu Yan stopped, looked at Ji Chang and said, "I don't know when you began to advocate Huang Lao theory. Why do you think resting with the people is laissez faire?"

Huang Lao's theory did not say that resting with the people was laissez faire, but would formulate a loose national policy and once sacrifice the law to ensure false peace.

In fact, when it comes to governing the country, Huang Lao's theory is the most appropriate existence in classical society, which is the hard evidence repeatedly proved by history with facts. It's just that Huang Lao's theory of sacrificing the law is very bad. It's too easy to breed dynamic groups in society.

Liu Yan didn't read much. Moreover, he didn't read history specifically. He was not familiar with every dynasty, but he knew that Huang Lao had never perished. In fact, he was active again in the great counsellor and the Ming Dynasty.

Those dynasties that did not go to the countryside with imperial power, regardless of whether Confucianism was willing to admit it or not, actually played the same set of Huang laoxue, but often played a four different. The other was to use Huang laoxue to fight against the power and cling to the country and constantly suck blood until the Dynasty was destroyed.

The disadvantage of using Huang laoxue is that either the imperial court usually needs to kill people for some groups, and if it can be corrected, there will be a ZTE situation; If there is no successful reform in killing a head, it is basically waiting for the alien (enemy country) to kill in, and then the picture of head rolling will not be changed.

Ji Chang was stunned. He does not consider himself a believer in Huang Lao theory, or even a believer in any school.

Ji Chang's long experience in governance has long made him understand that if he wants to govern a country well, the knowledge and ideas of any school alone are not enough. He should gather the advantages of hundreds of schools and judge them with pragmatism. He can use whatever governance method is suitable for which environment at any time.

"That's a miscellaneous family." Liu Yan said that he still studied, especially after he became king, he read many hundred theories: "the miscellaneous family is destroyed in LV Buwei's hands, otherwise..."

The so-called miscellaneous school is characterized by "combining Confucianism and Mohism, and combining names and methods", emphasizing the characteristic of "connecting all the ways of a hundred schools". To put it bluntly, it is to gather the heads of a hundred families.

As the leader of the miscellaneous generation, LV Buwei failed not in governing the country, but in political struggle.

History only focuses on the sweep of the eight wastelands and Six Harmonies by the first emperor, ignoring the accumulation of the previous kings of previous generations, and what is more neglected is the achievements of LV Buwei as prime minister.

If you look at the state of Qin before Ying Zheng came to power in those years, you will find that under LV Buwei's administration, Qin not only integrated and combed the military and government, but also accumulated the most national money and food. Otherwise, the country has no money and food. How can Ying Zheng start the war of unification?

Miscellaneous family? Ji Chang had not thought about this before. When Liu Yan mentioned it, he thought that he was really a miscellaneous family from the definition of school.

"But the big man doesn't distinguish any schools now. There are no schools. There are only Sinology." Liu Yan regarded this as a matter of life and death: "I never wanted to restart the contention of a hundred schools of thought. After the school? It will become a school of thought, and then it will be labeled because of its different origins. It will fight for the sake of fighting and break out party strife."

Ji Chang kept silent. With his vision, he can understand what Liu Yan is saying. It is because he understands that he will be silent.

"A Sinology is enough." Liu Yan smiled brightly: "the theory of the Great Han."

Ji Chang thought in silence that the imperial power can only guide knowledge, and even can't even guide it many times. Will those contemporary intellectuals cooperate with Liu Yan to integrate all theories into Sinology?

Liu Yan seemed to guess what he was thinking from Ji Chang's expression and said, "if they don't cooperate, I can't appoint them. They all say that learning written martial arts, goods and imperial family. They can't use their talents to get it. Will they be willing? Except for some stubborn people with abnormal brains, knowledgeable people... Especially the so-called everyone, they are still very knowledgeable."

Ji Chang was speechless
