Prime Minister of Great Qin

Ji Heng left.

With full expectations for them.

Just listening to Ji Heng's words, even Meng Yi and others felt their scalps go numb.

Too direct and straightforward.

Especially what Ji Heng said before leaving, the law is to protect those in power, not to maintain fairness and justice. For the bottom, what they need is justice, and it is never fairness.

The so-called fairness is just something that those in power deliberately create to show to those at the bottom.

As long as Da Qin's system is fair.

You can win the hearts of the people.

You can gain people's trust and recognition.

Therefore, when establishing the system, we must ensure fairness and not open a back door for nobles and heroes. Da Qin's system has already opened a back door for these people, that is, titles. If there are still loopholes in the law, That would be too absurd and absurd.

Ji Heng asked them to study the abolition of the secular official system next.

On the basis of civil law and in the form of titles, we strive to fight for the rights and interests of these people as much as possible, but without excessive loss of national power and people's support.

As for how to do it specifically, Ji Heng didn't say, just let them do it themselves.

Inside the palace.

Meng Yi and Zhang Cang looked at each other.

I just feel a lot of pressure.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Yi calmed down and said: "This 'Mr. Zhong' is really not surprising with his words. We are obviously here to study the abolition of the secular official system, but he talks a lot, but it's He kicked all the old laws aside and tried to start anew.”

"Meng Yi is impressed by this man's courage."

Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and said, "Why am I the same?"

"But as this person said, perhaps only on the basis of the new law can Daqin's restructuring be possible. Otherwise, under the framework of the old law, it would be too restrained and restricted, and it would not be able to be used at all. Instead, it would suffer Received various criticisms and refutations.”

"Once the contents of our chamber of commerce today are known to the outside world, I'm afraid many people will be unable to sit still."

"But it's not important."

"If we want to change the system, we will definitely face many difficulties. Taking the initiative to jump out has cleared a lot of obstacles, and it is more suitable for us to show our talents. Based on my understanding of this person, he probably only told us a few things. , and a lot is hidden.”

"Through the apparent 'relaxation' to win over the people, and then by delegating a certain 'threshold' in exchange for the support of other 'meritorious people', he has almost won over most people in the world to his side. This That’s the truly powerful method.”

Hear the words.

Meng Yi was thoughtful.

Zhang Cang smiled and said: "I understand now that our previous worries were completely unnecessary."

"We thought that this person had no extra help, but that was not the case. From the chaos in Northern Xinjiang to the current Kuan Min, he has actually been trying to win over people in various ways. As Ji Heng said, today's meeting is just to set the tone. Yes, and the subsequent abolition of worldly officials will be based on the power of Guandong, and the implementation of other new systems in the future will be based on the power of the people of the world."

"A small citizen is indeed insignificant."

"If there are tens of millions of ordinary people, who would dare to look down upon us?"

"If we add millions of meritorious people, who in the world would dare to resist?"

"even."

"He told everyone what he was going to do next."

"It is to use the meritorious people to promote a wave of reforms in the world, and then use the people of the world to promote another wave of reforms, and finally create a restructuring storm that sweeps the world and is recognized by the people of the world, thus truly realizing the transformation of the Qin Dynasty."

"This skill is amazing."

"The ones who are really aggrieved are actually the court officials like us and those officials who are neither above nor below."

"But even if we know, what can we do?"

Zhang Cang shook his head.

Ji Heng's talent far exceeds theirs.

They couldn't resist at all.

Even if he knew what Ji Heng was going to do, there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Because he always stands in the interests of the majority of people.

Just like what I said today.

Open civil law.

It’s already quite shocking.

If the various opinions mentioned by Ji Heng were spread, people would be shocked and stunned.

But do those views have any substantive distribution of benefits?
No!

It's all lies from beginning to end.

It just publishes in clear text what the people already have or what they aspire to have.

But that alone is enough to make the bottom class grateful.

Will the imperial court provide the so-called japonica rice to the people at the bottom due to the so-called civil law?

will not.

Will they provide them with sheep, pigs and dog meat at low prices?

Neither will it.

They still need to buy these themselves.

The court only allowed them to no longer be bound by the old laws and could eat and buy openly.

That's it.

Those who can't afford it still can't afford it, and those who can't afford it still can't afford it.

Just relaxing the originally wrong reins is enough to make the people at the bottom grateful.

This also illustrates the strict laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty.

It's unreasonable.

Meng Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "What does the young master think will happen to the world after the restructuring?"

Zhang Cang was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, we can't guess Ji Heng's thoughts at all. This person obviously knows the world very well. It seems that many of his ideas are whimsical and unexpected, but in fact, he really thinks about it carefully. When it comes down to it, it is actually feasible and very likely to be completed.”

"This person's vision is too high."

"It's too high for us to reach, or even get close to."

"And I have a hunch that even if I wait to die, I may not be able to see the final appearance."

"The world that Ji Heng wants to create must be a unique one, and it must be a world that takes a long time to build."

"It cannot be accomplished overnight." "It cannot be built in just a few years, more than ten years, or even decades."

"I'm just a chess piece."

Meng Yi smiled bitterly.

He felt the same way.

Facing Ji Heng, he felt powerless.

We can only let it happen.

Meng Yi has actually not experienced this feeling for a long time, being unable to keep up with his thoughts or thinking, being completely led by the nose. But now that he is staying with Ji Heng, this feeling is too strong, and he feels a little bit inside. fluctuation.

Zhang Cang added: "You don't need to think so much."

“Restructuring does not happen overnight.”

"We only need to do our part. As for the rest, it's not up to us, so why bother?"

"Judging from Ji Heng's current situation, he is actually waiting on purpose."

"Wait for things to ferment."

"Let's wait until the Huns matter is over."

"The second is to wait until today's meeting spreads to the outside world."

"He won't really make any move until the wind gets stronger."

"Right now, what we have to do is to finalize part of the relevant civil laws, but only the part about abolishing the official. As for the other parts, don't be impatient, let alone make your own decisions, wait until the world is clear before making a decision."

Meng Yi nodded.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath, looked at the empty Reorganization Mansion, and turned around to leave.

Meng Yi did not stop either.

Inside the mansion.

Chen Ping, Xiao He and others are still there.

Xiao He was not in a hurry to improve the law. Instead, he focused on promoting education and medical care. He wanted to calculate how much expenses the court would have if it were true to what Ji Heng said. If it could really afford it, it might not be possible. Not a good idea.

Moreover, this move could also break the scholar's monopoly on knowledge.

It can also alleviate people’s medical problems.

No matter from any perspective, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Just consider the cost.

Chen Ping was thinking about how to make the exit from the official system more dignified and more "official" on the basis of the new civil law. However, after thinking about it, Chen Ping's mind went astray. Now that the restructured government has started, all kinds of The official office was short of personnel, so Ji Heng gave them certain privileges.

In addition to selecting people from the Yushi Mansion and Tingwei Mansion, you can also select a few people by yourself.

He thought of Wei Wuzhi immediately.

If Wei Wuwu hadn't reminded him back then, he might not have had the chance to go to Xianyang, let alone obtain his current status. Moreover, during the rebellion in Guandong, Wei Wuwu had also secretly helped him, and he should repay his kindness and reason.

But he hesitated in his heart whether to introduce Wei Wuzhi to the restructuring government.

After a while.

Chen Ping's eyes were fixed.

The kindness of knowledge and encounter must not be repaid.

Moreover, Wei Wuzhi was originally coerced by the current situation.

Why can't I enter?

What's more, there is Zhang Liang in front of him.

Think of this.

Chen Ping stood up, took out a blank bamboo slip from his side, and began to write down his chosen candidate.

Then hand it over to Ji Heng for him to make a decision.

the other side.

Zhang Liang was not reforming the government either.

I returned to my residence in Xicheng early.

Ji Heng has already returned.

Zhang Liang looked at Ji Heng and said leisurely: "You are really leisurely. If your words today were spread, I'm afraid many people would be uneasy. I thought that what I had done in the past was enough." Amazing, but still a far cry from you.”

"Your ultimate support is the people!"

"Is it right?"

Ji Heng smiled, showing a row of white teeth, nodded, and teased: "You have discovered this. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world. The so-called general trend of the world, in the final analysis, is the general trend of the people."

"If the people's minds are at peace, the world will seek unity; if the people's minds are at peace, the world will seek unity."

"The truth is often that simple."

Zhang Liang nodded and frowned: "But can you really promote the entire restructuring based on the so-called popular support?"

He was very confused.

The people's morale is too weak.

Ji Heng did not say anything, but looked up at the mulberry tree in the courtyard and said calmly: "So I said that the world has changed a long time ago, but many of you have not changed your ideas. In the past, the power in the world was from top to bottom. Yes, but today’s world power has long been reversed.”

“It’s from the bottom up!”

"Whoever controls the power at the bottom can control the world."

"It's just that too many people look down upon it."

Hear the words.

Zhang Liang frowned.

He thought about these words in his heart.

“How come you see?”

"Time will prove it to you." Ji Heng smiled, "It won't be too late, it just needs a certain amount of time to brew, but this change in the world has already happened a long time ago, and it is just slowly changing. The accumulated energy is waiting for its final release.”

"Until then"

"Only the world will know whose world belongs to everyone in the world."

"The world is not for the king, and the world is not for the ministers."

"The world belongs to the people!" (End of this chapter)
