Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1506 Before Ascension to the Throne Six

Xi Zhicai's political thinking is still very keen, and he can immediately detect Mujing's intentions.

That's right, it's for the New Deal.

Hu Zhao is not an enemy of the New Deal, but he has always tended towards conservative reforms, and his pace has never been as sharp as that of Mu Jing.

This creates contradictions.

Mujing’s will is the core of Ming’s policy. No one can change this point. However, Mujing established Zhaoming Pavilion to support Ming’s aircraft carrier to go further and further. Zhaoming Pavilion has restrictions. Jing's right, even if this right is given by Mu Jing itself, this is enough for Hu Zhao to suppress Mu Jing.

Mu Jing is not the emperor who inherited the country, he is a pioneer, he fought the Ming country on horseback, he made a promise, held the military power in his hand, and no one dared to disobey him.

But dictatorship has never been good enough for Ming to develop better conditions. Mu Jing is also a human being, as long as he is a human being, he will make mistakes, and he is very aware of this.

That's why there is the present Zhaoming Pavilion, which is the only place that can prevent him from making mistakes.

But there are gains and losses.

Zhaoming Pavilion would also easily become a hindrance to his promotion of the development of the Ming Kingdom.

And there is also a very important point. Changing orders from day to day is a taboo for those in power. The majesty established by oneself must be maintained by oneself.

The establishment of Zhaoming Pavilion is a rule of the game for the establishment of Mujing.

He must abide by it himself.

So he can only think of some other ways to suppress Hu Zhao. Zhaoming Pavilion's participation in politics, in the Ming Dynasty, are all those in power at the prime minister level.

In the past, Hu Zhao was alone, and Mu Jing was easy to deal with, but now Cai Yong has changed his mentality and joined this game. His position is not on Mu Jing's side. In terms of the New Deal, he is more inclined to Hu Zhao. Zhao.

Now Hu Zhao has the support of Liu Jin and Cai Yong, which is already very strong. Qin Song's attitude towards the New Deal is neutral, but Bao Su is indeed relatively conservative.

With Bao Su in the cabinet, Mu Jing's influence in the New Deal would be reduced, so he had to find another person to check and balance them.

The New Deal of the Ming Dynasty is Mu Jing's painstaking effort, and it is his blueprint for the future. He will not allow anyone to destroy it. Even if it takes longer to change, he must hold on to it, no matter the cost.

"Smart!" Mu Jing smiled, and said, "There is no other way for Kuai Liang to go now. He will either be crushed to death by the orphan for the rest of his life as the governor of Yongzhou, or he can only rely on the orphan. He can't keep the surviving Jingxiang clan!"

"Your Majesty, we still need to be cautious about this matter. I have no doubts about Kuai Liang's ability. He has a lot of experience in internal affairs, and he is also very good at managing Yongzhou. He has contributed a lot to restoring order in Yongzhou. No matter in terms of ability, seniority, or reputation, he He is eligible to join the cabinet and participate in politics, but he is a family leader after all!"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai felt more and more the profoundness of the Mujingcheng Mansion. This young man was watched by him as he grew up step by step. He may have lacked experience in this kind of court struggle before, but now, he is already an old and dull man. He is now the emperor, the monarch who really controls the power in his hands, but he still has some worries about Mu Jingyong Kuai Liang.

He knew the children of these aristocratic families too well, because back then in Yingchuan, there were countless of these children, and he got along with them a lot, so he understood their thoughts better.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, people in the family, it is difficult to change their stance on doing things. The fetters of blood and family ties have been instilled in them by the elders since they were young. The thought of contributing to the family. Second, for the sake of the family, they can even sacrifice everything, including their own lives and reputations, it is difficult for such people to change their position, and if the New Deal touches it, it is their position!"

"Zhicai!"

Mu Jing laughed, and he asked Xi Zhicai: "Do you know where the aristocratic family's advantages lie?"

"Talent!"

Xi Zhicai was silent for a moment, then replied.

"Correct!"

Mu Jing nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know why they can have talents!"

"A poor family is poor, and life is already very difficult. If you want to study, you need a chance. Even those with perseverance and perseverance may not be able to study, but the children of the family are different. They are born with the luxury of food and clothing. When learning martial arts, there is a huge difference in ability between a person who has read books and a person who has not read books!"

Xi Zhicai himself was born in a poor family, and he knows the bitterness of reading for the poor family too well: "There is another point, the inheritance of knowledge controlled by the aristocratic families, most of the books of the sages are in the collections of these aristocratic families , even if the children of poor families can read, most of them just recognize characters. They can still read some ordinary books, but there are a few who can understand the truth from ordinary books, and how many people can read The whole family can't live on anymore, and they still have the hope of pursuing studies, it's not that there are too few, too few, so there are talents in the family from generation to generation, and even if one person from a poor family gets a name, it will be difficult to continue, that's the reason!"

"That's right, the advantages of these aristocratic families make them feel like ducks in water in this era. If you want to support this, you can support this, and whoever you want to support, you can support whoever you want, and even bet on both sides. It seems that there will be no time to lose. We have to rely on them!" Mu Jing sighed.

Why didn't he know that the advantages of these aristocratic families were unavoidable choices in the era of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

There is a saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it.

The water here is not the people of the world, but the powerful families. Whoever they support will have a better chance of winning, so even Cao Cao, who has been a hero through the ages, sometimes has to compromise.

But Mujing is not among those who compromise, he is from the future, and he has too many abilities to eat up all these aristocratic families.

Mu Jing said with a sneer: "It's a pity that the orphans they met, they have never been interested in them from the very beginning. If the wealth of the world is only hidden in the hands of a small group of people, even if the world is peaceful, it will not be peaceful for long. In the world, wherever there is oppression, there will always be uprising!"

"Where there is oppression, there will be uprising?" Xi Zhicai was deeply touched by this sentence. Perhaps he had followed Mujing for too long, so his thoughts were somewhat close to Mujing. Mujing's soul comes from the future, and this The era is always different, and you can't see it on weekdays, but if you get along for a long time, you will always show some ideas that you are born equal.

"That's why Gu didn't intend to tolerate them. Gu has dug their roots from the very beginning!" Mu Jing said with a sneer.

Since he saw the strength of the aristocratic families of this era, and since he saw the dominance of the No. [-] family in the world, the Yuan family, he has already begun to dig out the foundations of the aristocratic families of this era.

"Your Majesty is talking about papermaking and movable type printing?" What Xi Zhicai admired most about Mujing was that when Mujing was in Luoyang, he released papermaking and movable type printing under the pressure of the aristocratic family. , It has benefited scholars all over the world.

Over the years, more and more scholars have suddenly appeared from all over the world, and this is due to Mujing.

Although they could not keep these technologies at the beginning.

But when these technologies are released, they are like a little flame that can ignite the enthusiasm of scholars all over the world, and the Ming Dynasty has spared no effort in the sale of books these years.

Papermaking is mainly for mass production and cost reduction, while movable type printing is also constantly updating printing plates to reduce printing costs.

This is indeed one of the reasons why the foundation of the aristocratic family was dug up.

In just a few years, the advantages of aristocratic families have become less and less, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in Jiangdong, Central Plains, Hebei, and Youzhou.

When the world was just in turmoil and the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just passed, the clans of the aristocratic families increased their military strength because of the chaos, so that the clans of the aristocratic families had the foundation to fight against the imperial court.

That should be the brightest moment of the aristocratic family.

But gradually in these years, the turmoil has continued, and the battles that have been fought have long been the princes, but they are weakening the power of these aristocratic families.

And because of the spread of knowledge and culture, because books are becoming more and more affordable, many children from poor families can afford to read books, and there are more and more talents from poor families. If you free your hands, you will naturally suppress these aristocratic families.

Looking at the princes of the world, even Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan family, a descendant of the world's number one aristocratic family, who holds power, may not be wary of these aristocratic families.

The more defensive they are, the less their chances will be. When their power gradually loses, when their talents gradually become less outstanding, the era of aristocratic families will pass.

Even if it is a family, there is no power as a bond, no interest as a foundation, and members of the family may not be willing to be twisted together.

"In recent years, Gu has been passing on knowledge better. When knowledge can be passed on, their advantages will gradually be lost!" Mu Jing nodded: "When Gu was in Luoyang, he improved the papermaking technology, It reduces the cost of paper making and makes paper cheaper. Not to mention that everyone in the world can afford it, but I believe that most scholars can afford it. In addition, there is movable type printing, which is a technology that changes the times, making books Unlimited rubbings, although due to the current situation, we have to go south!"

His eyes are sharp: "But these years, I have been alone in the southwest, and I have never given up on the research of papermaking technology. In Ming Dynasty, those private papermaking workshops are not counted. They are only under the name of Zhengshitang. The large ones are There are more than a dozen, and the small ones are no less than a few hundred. Paper is getting cheaper, and printing is also being improved. The cost of a book will be cheaper. The more books there are, the more readers will be. The more scholars there are, the more people will be sensible, the more people will be able to understand the truth, and the more talented people will be. At that time, the small group of talented people from aristocratic families will be like a drop in the ocean, and there will be no chance to cause a storm! "

What the aristocratic families are most proud of is that the talents they are in charge of, especially the grassroots talents, the officials of the county government, not to mention the officials, most of the officials rely on them. When they give an order, the county government will be paralyzed. The relationship network can be regarded as reaching all over the world, so even the princes who are in charge of a part of the country must treat them kindly and rely on them to make their regions more prosperous and rich, and to stabilize their positions.

But if there are more and more talents, especially those from poor families, without the fetters of that kind of family, this problem of dependence can be solved.

At that time, the aristocratic family is just a pawn that the princes can handle at will.

"Your Majesty has made arrangements for a long time ago. This is a wise move, and the subordinates admire it. Looking at the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and aristocratic families have lost too much influence. It will not have much influence on our ruling foundation. Of course, if they launch an attack, it will still cause some turmoil in the Ming country!"

Xi Zhicai said softly: "But they don't dare, they don't dare to kill the fish and break the net, because they also know very well that in today's Ming country, even if they really try their best, they will die at most, but the net may not be broken, and the longer the time, The more they lose their advantage, the more they boil the frogs in warm water, sooner or later they will just leave an empty shell and add the king's new policy..."

"The lonely New Deal has never targeted anyone!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

It may hurt the interests of a small group of people, but it will benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty. He firmly believes that the New Deal is right. Of course, the New Deal still needs to be gradually explored and improved to better adapt to this era.

"Although the new policy didn't target them, it was also suppressing their influence!" Xi Zhicai finally figured out why Mujing used Kuai Liang: "That's why your majesty guessed that Kuai Liang has nowhere to go! "

"In my opinion, Kuai Liang is a smart man!"

Mu Jing calmly said: "The smarter a person is, the more he understands what makes a man who understands current affairs a hero. On the contrary, only people like Huang Zhong and Ma Chao are impulsive!"

The smarter you are, the more you think about it, the more thoughtful you are, the more you will compromise. In the hearts of these so-called smart people, as long as there is hope, they will not give up.

This is the position of a counselor.

They have wisdom, ability, and foresight, but what they lack is the brute force of generals, no matter whether they win or lose, they fight first and then talk.

It's not that it's bad, but it's better to deal with it.

In fact, relatively speaking, it is better to have fewer ordinary people, and more smart people to make the world a better place. Everyone wants to use force to solve it, so how can there be rules in this world.

"If Kuai Liang joins the cabinet, is your majesty planning to push for a new policy?" Xi Zhicai asked again.

"Yes!"

Mu Jing answered with certainty: "If Gu is proclaiming himself emperor, he will have to rest for a period of time. At this time, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, let's get up and develop ourselves first!"

"A wave of development?"

Xi Zhicai is not surprised. There are never many words like Mujing. He is such a smart person, and he can understand the meaning. He thought about it and said: "So it is the best time to promote the New Deal!"

The promotion here is not partial, but comprehensive. At that time, the whole country will promote the development of the New Deal, which will inevitably set off waves of storms.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded: "The New Deal is Gu's expectation for the future and Gu's determination. Gu must make the people's lives better before he has the determination to fight for world hegemony!"
