Saint of the Confucian way

Everyone who got the news, no matter where he was, was stunned, as if everything was silent.

The miscellaneous family actually did it.

Although this is only a warning for minor scholars, it also proves that miscellaneous scholars have the power to destroy a large number of scholars in Jingguo.

Among the scholars of the human race, the most are those who major in Confucianism and the most are those who minor in Confucianism.

There are not many people majoring in acrobatics, slightly less than strategists, Legalists, engineers and doctors, but more than historians and farmers.

However, the number of minor scholars is second only to those who minor in Confucianism.

It can even be said that in terms of Pan influence, zajia is actually second only to Confucianism and strategists, far more than other schools.

Especially the low-grade officials around the Terran, they realize that their talents are limited and it is difficult to embark on the road of the holy way. Therefore, no matter which one they majored in before, they will eventually minor in the acrobat, hoping to obtain a higher official position through the miscellaneous holy way.

Facts have also proved that officials with minor skills are more likely to be promoted than other officials.

Although people who minor in acrobatics will have little impact if they are punished by acrobats, at most, they will have no hope of promoting their literary position all their life, their talent is still there, and will not lead to death, but this alone is enough to shake the foundation of the country.

The importance of the national grass-roots level has always been the same as that of the high-level. Any country that despises the grass-roots level will eventually be in chaos or even fall apart.

The officials at the grass-roots level had little salary and were influenced by their superiors everywhere. They were frightened by miscellaneous families and immediately fell into panic.

A few days ago, only officials with higher grades and higher literary positions asked to resign. After the news that Xiangzhou officials were punished by miscellaneous families spread all over Jingguo, many child scholars with nine grades and eight grades or no grades have begun to resign.

In places such as Jiangzhou or Xiangzhou, which are deeply influenced by miscellaneous families, more than half of the officials in some prefectures and counties either complain of illness or go to the elderly, and even go away directly.

Jingguo may punish a few people severely if they resign, but no one can deal with such a large-scale official's resignation.

Jingguo's cabinet had to hold an emergency meeting because it only involved low-grade officials, so it did not invite the Empress Dowager.

The cabinet quickly studied some countermeasures.

First, improve the salaries of grass-roots officials and reformulate the retirement system, so that the bottom officials can get better protection. However, this protection is only for officials who retire normally. They will leave suddenly when the country needs them and will not enjoy any benefits.

Secondly, those who resign during the special period are not allowed to enter the DPRK as officials. No matter what industry they are engaged in or what they do, they are not allowed to enjoy preferential policies from all over the country.

Finally, their children and son-in-law and daughter-in-law are not allowed to enter the court as officials, hold any public office, or be canonized by the court.

The next day, the cabinet announced the decree.

When they saw the first article of the decree, officials everywhere in Jingguo felt it was normal. When they saw the second article, although they were dissatisfied, they all knew it was normal to do so. However, after seeing the third article, many officials were either angry or frightened.

Breaking the way for future generations to become officials in the DPRK is a great punishment.

In fact, in many places, some powerful families will control some public offices, and even have explicit provisions that can be inherited. Once they resign, there will inevitably be a gap in the succession of power. Once the position is taken away by others, it is likely to be completely lost, resulting in a significant reduction in family power.

Some of those who resigned prematurely began to regret and immediately returned to the Yamen in the hope of re taking office. However, no matter how deep their relationship with the local leader was, they were rejected.

In this special period, any official who obeys in public but disobeys in private will be severely punished.

However, this punishment also angered some officials who were hesitant to resign. Some officials openly attacked the decree and claimed that they did not want to resign, but because the decree would resign immediately and leave Jingguo.

In any case, this decree has had a certain effect, and the number of resignations has greatly decreased.

Even so, local leaders are busy, looking for suitable officials again, and even have to invite back some old people who have long returned home.

Subsequently, the Jingguo cabinet issued a cabinet order, in a very severe tone, accusing the miscellaneous families of harming the Terrans and interfering in the internal affairs of Jingguo at the time of Terran crisis. This behavior is simply the pioneer of the demon world.

Then Jingguo asked the holy courtyard to decide the matter. Cao De'an, the right minister, and Sheng Boyuan, the Minister of rites, went to the holy courtyard for this purpose.

Because he wanted to accept the ruling of the holy courtyard, the miscellaneous family had to stop punishing Jingguo officials, but the miscellaneous family was still investigating Jingguo.

The Jingguo peace talks department now shoulders the responsibility of suing Zongjia and Qingguo in the holy courtyard. They have adhered to the word "procrastination" from the beginning, and deliberately procrastinate until the final completion no matter what happens.

Therefore, the holy court ruled for a full month, and the two sides did not reach any consensus.

In this month, without the threat of miscellaneous families, few people in Jingguo resigned, and all parts of Jingguo were not greatly affected and continued to flourish.

This month, Fang Yun mainly did something disgraceful but had to do.

With the explosive development of Jingguo, there is no shortage of people in farmland, but there is a shortage of people in other aspects, whether mining, logging or workshop work.

Because of the shortage of people, the cost of recruiting workers increases.

Moreover, with the influx of foreign gold and silver, the prices in Jingguo began to rise sharply. Soon, the income increase of people everywhere in Jingguo will lag far behind the price increase.

In the past, workshops everywhere could squeeze workers, but after Fangyun abolished slavery and formulated a series of policies, those workshop owners did not dare to squeeze workers too much. However, if the profit is less, it will slow down the reinvestment, which will inevitably affect the development and technological progress.

Fang Yun has long been prepared. Therefore, in addition to the workshop for Hai nationality, which has a considerable proportion of luxury goods, other workshops mainly produce bulk goods. Because the trading market and volume of bulk goods are large, it can drive more labor and organs and avoid industrial hollowing out.

No matter how prepared Fang Yun is, it can not prevent the increase of labor cost, which is the inevitable trend of national development. However, the high labor cost has become a big problem for many workshop owners. According to this trend, the profits of the workshop will be greatly reduced after one year at most. Some workshop owners are even secretly discussing whether to move to other countries in six months.

Fang Yun had already made a plan. In order to keep the workshop in Jingguo, he secretly commanded and controlled, and began to recruit workers from backward and poor areas of the Terran. In order to win the trust of people everywhere, he even didn't hesitate to pay in advance.

At first, it was quite smooth, but some families found business opportunities and began to take recruitment as business. As a result, many families and businesses, like sharks smelling blood, began to recruit workers from all over the country, and then sold them to workshops all over Jingguo.

Most families or businesses still abide by the basic laws, but any business model with low cost, high profit and low technology content is bound to attract underworld related groups.
