I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The next day, early morning.

Batura came to the palace to meet him early. He waited for about a quarter of an hour before entering the great hall and saw Du Qi who had washed up and had breakfast. Ba Tuo respectfully said: “Chen Ba Tuo, meet His Majesty.”

Du Qi Waved his hand and said: “Sit!”

Batuo Luo immediately sat down, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said: “This is a book drawn by the minister. It involves the person who wants to arrange it. Please His Majesty took a look.”

Du Qi took a look at it. The paper of this fold is pretty good. Although the texture is not as good as Great Tang’s paper, it can still be used, and the handwriting on it is from the Central Plains.

This surprised Du Qi a bit.

When Du Qi saw Du Qi, Ba Tuo Luo explained: “His Majesty, the content above was written by the minister specially invited Xia Country merchants in the city to do business.”

Du Qi nodded, seeing that there are only four names on it, he also drafted the positions of the four. With the exception of Devanado, who served as the governor of the Provincial Governor, the other three are just ordinary officials of the Provincial Governor, and they are not important positions.

Du Qi nodded after reading it.

Bathala people are not greedy, very good. If there is a long list of people on Batra’s list, all of whom are to be squeezed into the Provincial Governor Mansion and hold important positions, Du Qi would definitely agree to all impossible.

Du Qi closed the folder, and said: “Bandhara, your memorial is correct. Devanado serves as the long history of the Provincial Governor. The others also hold their posts. The remaining vacant Cao Officials, I will arrange for someone to make it up.”

Batura said: “Thank His Majesty.”

Paused, Batura said: “His Majesty, here is the minister. There’s something to be played.”

Du Qi said: “But it’s okay!”

Batura said: “His Majesty, when the minister was in charge of Jiantuolua, except for the city’s In addition to more than 10,000 and 20,000 troops, there are 6,000 elephant soldiers. It’s just that this elephant soldier is located outside the city. Because yesterday, I was busy preparing for the Provincial Governor’s government and arranging officials. Time to report. The minister specifically reported this matter today and asked His Majesty to reorganize the elephant soldiers.”

Du Qi had an expression of approval in his eyes and waved his hand: “You call the elephant soldiers back, and I will reorganize them.”

Ba Tuo Luo said: “The minister abides by the decree.”

Du Qi said: “Ba Tuo Luo, I now govern Jian Tuo Luo Zhou. Since Jian Tuo Luo Zhou is included in me The territory of Xia Country, then we will treat it in accordance with the laws of Xia Country. Right now Jiantuoluo State needs to make an adjustment to abolish the previous harsh criminal law and abolish the previous system. In this regard, you will arrange it. “

Batura said: “His Majesty arranged, and the minister should execute it on his own. But the minister is stupid, and I beg His Majesty to give him any advice. What exactly should be abolished?”

Du Qi said solemnly: “First, abolish the transcendent status of the monks. From then on, they are just the people of my Xia Country, and no longer a transcendental person.”

Bandhara complexion slightly changed.

Monks are religious figures and spokespersons of the Indian theocracy. To abolish the status of these people, the entire Jiantuoluo state will definitely be shaken. Even Du Qi will be resisted by countless people.

Bandhara kept in mind Devanato’s suggestion, opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty arranged, the minister should respect himself.”

Du Qi continued: “Secondly, in Xia Country, officials and people are treated equally. There is no distinction between the four major caste systems of India, and there is no distinction between high and low. In Jiantuoluzhou, the caste system must be abolished, and everyone has the same identity. The class that once occupied the privileged no longer exists.”

As soon as this word came out, Bhadra finally couldn’t stand it. His mind was disturbed. He looked towards Du Qi and said hurriedly: “His Majesty, once The person most likely to be affected by this reform is actually His Majesty!”

“Because of you, it is the vested interest.”

“Once the system is abolished , The untouchables can be promoted, they may even become officials, and they may even develop to the extent that they may affect your status and even affect the stability of the empire.”

Batura said: “Leave aside other things, just from here On the one hand, analysis is not a cost-effective thing.”

Du Qi couldn’t help laughing heartily after hearing this.

Batoruo said: “What is His Majesty laughing at?”

Du Qi said: “Perhaps as you said, the caste system is abolished, and countless people at the lower level, just There are more possibilities, and even in the future, it may affect the stability of the empire. But for me, I am not worried about these.”

“As long as Xia Country is peaceful, the people live and work in peace, Xia Country Naturally, stability.”

“In addition, the long-term stability of Xia Country is not fixed by what class, but is supported by the people who are loyal to Xia Country and the people who are loyal to Xia Country. So this reform , It is imperative.”

“I don’t want to see so many oppressed people in the territory of my Xia Country.”

Du Qi said: “They Born to be a human, why should you be inferior to others. Or, as the ruler of a country, you, Badra, as the ruler of a country, according to my understanding, you are only a Kshatriya Surname, not a Brahmin caste. Why, a Brahmin caste wants an expert Wait.”

Batura said: “They are expert in themselves.”

Du Qi said: “Whoever stipulates, they are expert.”

Bathala said: “It is prescribed by the gods.”

Du Qi said: “Who speaks for the gods and who explains the gods? They are all people of the Brahmin caste. They explain the gods. , So it is said that God asked them to govern the world. All this originated from them. This point is self-contradictory.”

paused, Du Qi continued: “Bhadra, this world No one can reap without sowing, and the same is true for monks. These Brahman castes are the same. You, don’t you want to see what they looked like after falling into the world.”

“Of course!”

After hearing this, Ba Tuoluo spoke immediately.

His heart was actually incited by Du Qi, because normally even Batura was the head of the country, but because of his caste origin, he was in front of people of Brahman caste, especially some monks of Brahman caste In front of the prince, he would also be criticized because of his birth, so Batura had such ambitions in his heart.

At this moment, Du Qi has been ignited.

Du Qi nodded and said: “Since you want to, then implement this reform and abolish the caste system.”

Batura said solemnly: “His Majesty, once this is implemented Reform will inevitably cause countless turmoil. Even if His Majesty is in charge of Jiantuola State, there must be countless people in this city who will rebel against you. They will target you and hate you. Even the rest of Jiantuola State will be everywhere. A frenzy of rebellion.”

Du Qi laughed and said: “Batura, you have forgotten one thing. This time the reform of the caste system, who is the most profitable What? It’s the craftsmen, slaves, servants, and ordinary people at the bottom.”

“From then on, as long as they have the ability, they can be officials. They have made merit on the battlefield. Can be promoted and no longer be oppressed by the caste system. Under this premise, the people are all committed to us, and even the soldiers are on our side. These princes and nobles, as well as the monks who do not produce, and the Brahmins, how much do they have? What about power?”

Du Qi said: “Maybe relying on strong suppression, they can mobilize some power. But more people will gradually turn to them. Because we are to understand and save them.”

Batura’s cheeks changed slightly.

Du Qi’s starting point is different, and he considers issues that he has never thought of.

This can shake the foundation of the caste system.
