Chapter 28 Di Xin’s little plan
Therefore, the civil servants only know the various talents behind Lin Bufan, so they feel that he is a very talented scholar.

After all, apart from Lin Bufan's bold words that day, the various idioms and allusions he said later are very meaningful.

This was the main reason why Bigan and the civil servants admired Lin Bufan. As for some rumors, they didn't take it to heart.

And those rumors are that Lin Bufan has extremely high opinions on improving national policies.

After hearing Bigan's answer, Di Xin did not speak. He just turned his head with a smile and glanced at Lin Bufan on the other side.

Although it is not stated explicitly, the implication is already obvious.

At this time, Lin Bufan had already made up his mind to board the pirate ship, so he did not reject Di Xin's suggestion.

"I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I have some humble opinion."

Lin Bufan still made up his mind to stand up and prepare to play with Di Xin. Emperor Xin could obviously say it himself, but he couldn't say it clearly, so Lin Bufan needed to bring it up.

As soon as Lin Bufan said these words, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned to look at him. No one quite understood what medicine Lin Bufan was selling in his gourd.

Di Xin also admired Lin Bufan's knowledge very much, but on the surface he still asked pretending to be confused.

"I wonder what your beloved has to say?"

"Back to your Majesty, in my opinion, there are very serious problems in the basic system of Dashang. If left unchecked, Dashang will fall apart in a hundred years at most!"

Lin Bufan's expression was very serious, his tone of voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words silenced everyone, just like a UC clickbait.

After hearing Lin Bufan's words, all the civil and military officials in the hall frowned slightly and felt unhappy.

They thought to themselves: A young boy is just a young boy. He makes a fuss and makes people laugh when he talks. The title of National Master is only superficial and not worthy of the name.

"Oh? I wonder what kind of loophole Aiqing discovered that is so serious?"

After hearing Lin Bufan's words, Di Xin also showed an extremely serious expression on his face, as if he really didn't know the inside story.

"Back to your Majesty, the current system..."

Then Lin Bufan reread what he said that day in a different way, describing the disadvantages of enfeoffment and the benefits of centralization.

He and Di Xin sang and harmonized, perfectly recreating the dialectical topic between Lin Bufan and the group of literati that day.

The civil and military officials in the hall frowned more and more as they listened, and some even showed anger on their faces. It looked like they were already furious.

If it weren't for the worry that it was now a court meeting, Di Xin would only ask Lin Bufan questions.

He didn't ask the officials to express their opinions. They were already pointing their fingers at Lin Bufan and scolding him.

And when Emperor Xin asked the officials to express their opinions, Lin Bufan was criticized verbally and writtenly.

After a while, Lin Bufan fully explained what he said that day. When Di Xin heard this, he also pretended to be deep in thought.

After a while, Di Xin slowly exhaled, then looked at the other civil and military officials very seriously and asked.

"I wonder what your beloveds think of this?"

Di Xin's words were like opening the flood gates to release water from a dam full of floods, and the officials began to bombard Lin Bufan mercilessly.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor's words are alarmist. The current system is extremely perfect and does not need to be changed at all. It is the Imperial Preceptor's proposal that wastes people and money and puts the great merchants in danger of destroying the country!"

"Your Majesty, what the Imperial Preceptor said is to provoke a war. Then all lives will be devastated, and this will shake the foundation of Dashang!"

"King Qi, the future mentioned by the Imperial Master is completely impossible to realize. It will only put Dashang into crisis in advance!"

... At this time, the Longde Hall had become a quarrel. Although the civil and military officials did not use any curse words, they basically all cursed Lin Bufan.

Among them, Prime Minister Shang Rong scolded him the most, while Bi Gan, the leader of the civil service, and Wen Zhong, the leader of the military attache, did not react so strongly.

They just followed the crowd and said a few more words.

Shang Rong, the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, was truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Even Bigan and Wen Zhong had to look at his face to act.

After all, although the two are the leaders of the civil servants and military attachés, Shang Rong is the prime minister, and both groups are under his control.

As the prime minister, Shang Rong would naturally not allow such things as war to occur while he was in power.

After all, the world is now at peace and everything is going well, so there is no reason to initiate a war.

Moreover, the interests of these civil and military officials are intertwined with those of the various vassal states.

There are even many people whose properties are in other vassal states. Isn't this equivalent to beating yourself up?
They don't know whether other princely states will be destroyed or not, but they know one thing.

That is, after the war begins, their own industries and interests will definitely bear the brunt of the impact.

This is why Di Xin can't take the initiative to say this. If Di Xin says this.

There will be no room for recovery, and many officials will begin to have second thoughts, and things will be very troublesome by then.

So Di Xin needed Lin Bufan to say this to test the attitude of the officials.

Di Xin, on the other hand, was observing in secret and holding a small notebook to write down the blacklist.

We will see who reacts the most violently, and we will settle the accounts later in the year, and only after these unstable factors have been eliminated can we implement the next plan.

If you want to change national policies, especially the most basic system of a big country, it cannot be done in a day or two. There are many details that need to be considered.

Now the first step that Di Xin needs to do is to replace all the disobedient officials with obedient ones, which will also serve as a warning to the monkeys.

Di Xin was very clear about the calculations in the minds of these people. He had already investigated clearly who had large properties in other vassal states.

Now Di Xin is starting to judge and analyze through the reactions of these officials.

And focus on observing the reactions of officials who have large properties in other vassal states.

Anyway, when these people were criticizing Lin Bufan, Di Xin had already memorized the names of at least 10 people.

These were all on Di Xin's blacklist, and their fate was not much better.

The lightest punishment is to be dismissed from office, and the most serious punishment is to have his entire family exterminated.

But Di Xin wouldn't kill people indiscriminately, he already had the evidence.

An official's annual salary is only a little, so how did he buy so many properties in other vassal states?

You can use your toes to figure out what the reason is.

These officials like to build properties in other vassal states just to escape supervision.

And owning a large number of industries in other vassal states has basically become the epitome of corrupt officials.
