Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 72

Reform is actually reform.

The essence of reform is to fundamentally change various specific systems that restrict the development of productive forces and social progress to meet the needs of social development. Reform is a change to the existing system, and it is a kind of development and improvement based on the existing system .

Through this kind of development and perfect reform, the productive forces can be further liberated and developed, and then some bad factors that restrict social development can be eliminated, and the society can continue to develop forward.

These contents are the basic contents of philosophy and economics taught in the schools of later generations. As Wang Mang, who has been tortured by studying, he naturally understands some.

It can even be said that in theory, Wang Mang understands reform better than anyone in this era.

The general ruling class tends to avoid reforms like snakes and scorpions, but Wang Mang is different. Wang Mang believes that if the Qin State wants to develop and become strong, it must embark on a road of continuous reform, continuous release of social activities, and continuous development.

However, Wang Mang can't do these things himself, Wang Mang needs to do it alone.

Ever since Changsun Wuji recommended Shang Yang to Wang Mang, Wang Mang has paid attention to Shang Yang. In Wang Mang's impression, there was once a reformed celebrity who seemed to be called Shang Yang. He prepared to say that he was called Wei Yang before the reform and Shang Yang after the reform.

Although the names are a bit different, Wang Mang decided to meet him first. As soon as he met, Wang Mang found that Shang Yang was a person who disagreed with the society, and seemed to be very interested in reforms and the like.

And Shang Yang did not let himself down. The first time the emperor played the right role, he directly challenged the ministers to reform the existing Daqin system.

Wang Mang always likes to give the greatest respect and help to those who he needs and are capable of, because only such people can help him become stronger.

In this regard, Wang Mang does not mind using some theoretical knowledge he knows to help Shang Yang improve his own theory.

Shang Yang didn't know this. Shang Yang just knew that the emperor in front of him was not a king who didn't know anything.

If Shang Yang used to have a mentality of serving the king as a national scholar, now he gradually has a mentality of a scholar who dies for his confidant.

Facing his confidant, Shang Yang knew everything and said everything.

"Your Majesty, my minister frankly said that the reform has four benefits." Shang Yang pondered for a moment, and said directly: "The first benefit is that all the reforms since ancient times have shown that as long as the reform is successful, the country will be more or less stronger than before. , now that all countries in the world are on the alert, a big battle is not far away, and every time Daqin becomes stronger, it will take more initiative in the future."

"Secondly, although His Majesty has established prestige in the court by killing Fang Xizhi and Jian Yushufang, this prestige is not strong. The ministers of the court are not as loyal to His Majesty as they appear on the surface. Your Majesty needs to go through a battle. The reform makes all the officials completely surrender, and lead the shore of the land, could it be the king's officials."

"Third, as long as there is a reform, there must be bloodshed. It's just that compared with revolutions and coups, the bloodshed is a little less, but no matter how little it is, there will be bloodshed. As long as there is bloodshed, people will die. Who will die? Of course, those who oppose the reform and block it. If the reform diehards kill these people, a large number of seats will be vacated in the imperial court, and a gap in power will be cleared in the local area. These will be filled with new people and new forces, which will benefit the development of society and the imperial court. Progress and a strong country bring more vitality."

"Fourth, the reform is to change the imperial court's long-standing abuses. These accumulated abuses are very troublesome and have seriously affected the lives of the people. For example, Fang Xizhi, for example, the four major families of Nanyang Mansion, etc. These families, these people are all relying on the old court. The existence of the system is a vampire attached to the old system of the court. If they are reformed, the people will only praise them, and those who win the people will win the world.

"These four points, in fact, will all come down to one point in the end, that is, Daqin is stronger."

Shang Yang stood in front of Wang Mang and talked eloquently. This time, unlike the previous Jun's prelude, Shang Yang said more bloodthirsty. It can be said that every point he said to finish the CD would be a bloody road full of heads.

Wang Mang was also shocked by Shang Yang's handwriting. Xindao was indeed a great talent invited by the system to release the task of visiting the thatched cottage. Such a talent was recovered by himself. If he let his opponent pull him over, then he would be Big trouble.

Looking at Shang Yang, Wang Mang stepped forward, held Shang Yang's hand, and said: "Shang Yang, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. It is really a blessing in my life to have you. In the future, I will be on the high platform At that time, there will be a place for you by my side."

On the high platform!

Shang Yang stared at Wang Mang intently. It was not a simple sentence to climb a high platform. According to ancient legends, only the altar on Mount Tai was called a high platform, and only people like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could climb here.

Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Those were the ancient sages. Since then, the mainland has been in chaos, and there has never been such a person. Although he has ambitions, he has never dared to publicize it.

But now, where he was standing, an emperor, an emperor whom he trusted, showed his ambition to ascend to the high platform, which made Shang Yang's breathing quicken.

"I will swear to follow His Majesty to the death and be the emperor's predecessor." Shang Yang kowtowed.

Wang Mang pulled Shang Yang up, and said: "Shang Yang, I don't need these empty rituals in front of me. I like to play practical things. I fully support you in the reform you mentioned. You must give me the details of the reform within one month. I will take it out."

"Your Majesty, the minister has already been thinking about the details, and now he has an idea. It doesn't take a month, but only half a month, and the minister will be able to give His Majesty a satisfactory answer." Shang Yang promised.

"Okay." Wang Mang nodded, and said, "Sure enough, I didn't misread you."

"Your Majesty, before the reform, there is one more thing to do, Your Majesty," Shang Yang said.

"What's the matter?" Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang.

"Trust." Shang Yang said a word, and then explained: "Since ancient times, people can't stand without faith, things can't be accomplished without faith, business can't prosper without trust, and country can't decline without trust. Since His Majesty has decided to reform, then this reform It is necessary to let everyone know that what His Majesty said is worth a lot of money, and rewards and punishments must be clearly defined. Only in this way, His Majesty and the court will have prestige, and with prestige, great things can be expected."

"People can't stand without faith, and things can't be accomplished without faith." Wang Mang nodded, and had a new view on Shang Yang's knowledge.

Shang Yang continued: "Your Majesty, because the Royal Study Room appeared out of thin air, the officials of the court and the people in the capital all thought that His Majesty was the son of destiny and the person approved by Emperor Haotian. This is very helpful for the next reform of the court, but This is not enough, the people are usually people who value interests, so His Majesty must make them trust His Majesty more."

"What are you going to do?" Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang, and hearing Shang Yang's tone, he already had an idea.
