pilot
It was like a slide show.
These two words appeared on the big screen of the Heavenly Examination Hall.
"A trial?"
Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been searching for the answer, were stunned. They were even more confused.
new cake
Like squeezing toothpaste, three words appeared on the big screen.
community of interests
Qin Feng announced the three points without holding back.
But no one could understand.
Just like Dugu Qiubai, he directly used his ultimate move, but no one knew how these ultimate moves came about.
Of course, there was a major prerequisite for the reform: need
Does the Imperial Court need a reform? Did the people need a reform? Is there a foundation for reform?
Qin Feng was slowly guiding them. After all, the topic of reform is too big. It's still difficult to explain it clearly in a few words. They need to be guided bit by bit. Qin Feng was prepared to focus on these four keywords and give them a good lesson.
At least.
At this moment, Qin Feng saw that the emperors were all deep in thought. Some of the famous officials who were working hard were also deep in thought under his guidance.
Even if Zhang Juzheng had known in advance that after his reform, his corpse would be dug out and whipped after his death, the reform was the ultimate answer for a famous official with ideals and aspirations.
They could not refuse.
Even if they knew that their reputation would be ruined, they would still do it if they were given another choice.
Even if they knew that their chances of survival were slim and that the reform was fraught with difficulties, they were still willing to face such an ultimate monster.
They were the purest kind of famous officials.
Throughout the thousands of years of feudal dynasties in China.
There are many famous ministers.
However, only Shang Yang, Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng dared to reform.
Didn't the other famous officials know that the court needed to reform?
I know.
But no one dared to do it.
The Need of the Imperial Court's Reforms
Sir System, if there was something that could help you increase the speed of farming, for example, a day of work could be equivalent to three days of work, and you didn't need to use cattle anymore, would you want it?
The interview screen appeared again.
But this time, it was a different method.
The actor was still that old farmer.
Oh? What was it?
Iron Bull.
Under everyone's attention, the reporter took out a strange machine.
Da da da da.
Then, the machine spat out green smoke.
Then, under the old farmer's control, he quickly plowed the ground and soil quickly appeared. This was much faster than plowing the ground with a cow.
The scene shocked everyone once again.
"Hiss! What was that Iron Bull? It was actually able to flip the ground on its own…the speed at which it flipped the ground was five times faster!”
When such a divine weapon appeared, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other emperors who cared about agriculture suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. They were shocked by the efficiency of the diesel tractor.
Then, their eyes lit up.
They were not the only ones. The people of all dynasties were staring at the miracle created by modern machines with their mouths agape.
Haha! What kind of divine weapon is this? It actually finished my day's work in two hours!
With this, I won't be afraid of starving anymore
The old farmer's eyes were filled with tears, and his emotions quickly infected hundreds of millions of people.
Haha, with this, I can rent more land from the landlord.
It was as if a swordsman had a fortuitous encounter. In the following video, people saw the old farmer use this divine weapon to occupy a large area of land.
I don't need you guys anymore. Zhang San's rent is high. From now on, I don't need you guys anymore.
Then, something changed in the video.
The old farmers who obtained the divine weapons rented all the land of the landlord at a higher price. Then, the other farmers who did not have divine weapons had no land to grow. They were mercilessly abandoned by the landlord.
Ah! Zhang San, hand over Iron Bull!
Smash this Iron Bull, and we'll have a place to grow our crops
The old farmers who lost their land angrily hit Zhang San and broke the machine.
Ah, why? Why? I just want a better life…Iron Bull! Iron Bull…
In the video, Zhang San hugged Iron Bull and cried.
"This, how can this be?"
"Then, why are those old farmers so selfish? Destroyed just like that?"
The plot of the video was simple, but in the end, when they saw Zhang San suffer a disaster because of this, and the sharp tools used to cultivate the land were damaged, the people of the heavens were all stunned. They could not understand why such a scene would happen.
"This…this, can such a thing happen?”
"That's impossible."
" That's obviously something better than cattle…"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, Zhu Di, and the others saw this scene, they were even more stunned. It was as if they had been struck by lightning and slapped in the face by reality.
In their opinion, no one was wrong.
Was the landlord wrong?
No, he didn't.
Did Zhang San do something wrong?
No!
Did the people who lost their land do something wrong?
There was even less!
What was going on?
Who was wrong?
This was a reform, a reform that could be seen as an iron bull. Maybe he's good, but he's been ostracized by the old interest groups.
The people without Iron Bull are the old interest groups.
Qin Feng answered for them.
How to solve this situation
The screen asked.
The video of this simple reform ended.
Qin Feng's question once again struck a chord in their hearts.
Would the situation inside appear?
Everyone knew that it would!
However, they didn't know why this would happen.
Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and the others fell into deep thought again.
Soon, the imperial court sent Zhang San a new Iron Bull.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, they even sent bodyguards to protect Zhang San.
What about the people who lost their land? How could they survive?
The imperial court sent people to bring these people to a workshop.
People soon saw the process of the workshop producing Iron Bull…
They had no work to do, so they entered the workshop.
Three months later, the people who lost their land received their wages…
Zhang San also took out the excess grain to sell…
People used their wages to exchange for Zhang San's food
Everything seemed to be a happy ending
The short story continued. It was about the impact of the small peasant economy being industrialised. Qin Feng simplified it to a point where everyone could understand it.
However, when he saw this…
The emperors felt that something was wrong.
"Release productivity?" Wang Mang muttered.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng did not have such knowledge, but they were even more shocked.
As more and more Iron Bulls were produced by the workshop…Iron Bulls reached thousands of households like Zhang San, but the number of people needed by the workshop was limited.
Therefore, the other people who lost their land came over after hearing about the workshop. They were as angry as the people before them
Smash this workshop!
No! Protect the workshop!
In the video, the two sides were fighting again.
This scene was even more shocking.
This was because the people who had smashed Iron Bull in the past had become the people who protected Iron Bull.
This change in status once again broke the imagination of these feudal commoners.
The county magistrate made his move.
He asked the owner of the workshop to expand the workshop to accommodate more people who had lost their land. Then, the iron bulls produced would be sold to the people in the neighboring county and province.
However, the problem soon appeared...
Smash!
Protect the Workshop
Unknowingly, Iron Bull swept across the country.
Compared to the number of people that the workshop could accommodate, more people were idle.
Therefore, the imperial court issued an order to ban the workshops and prohibit the use of iron bulls.
People used cattle again
However, people found that there were not enough cattle to use.
Protest! protest
The workers in the workshop walked on the streets
Zhang San and the others also walked onto the streets.
Those who lost their land again, also walked on the streets
How was the imperial court going to deal with these extra people? Therefore, they suggested that they do other things, such as expanding their territory, fishing in the sea, and planting tea.
……
Ten years had passed. Zhang San had used the grain he had grown to sell new clothes and build a new house.
The people in the workshop used the wages they earned to buy more things.
The others who rushed out of the sea became officers, became merchants…or died in foreign lands.
……
The video ended.
This was an open-ended story.
Qin Feng directly included the pilot, the new cake, and the new interest groups.
He had wanted to tell the story of a fishing village turning into a big city, but these people probably wouldn't understand, so he gave up.
This story was enough.
Even if there were some flaws, Qin Feng had already explained everything.
He believed in the intelligence of these people.
"This, this is the reform…Do we still have to do it step by step to release productivity?”Wang Mang, who was sitting on the throne, was completely moved.
Among them, the change in Zhang San's identity and the change in the landless farmers were very good examples of some things under his governance.
In addition, he also saw the old interest groups being defeated by the new interest groups.
This had touched him greatly.
In addition, something that happened in a small village could actually affect the entire territory. Although it was very subtle, he understood it.
"The reform can't affect the interests of some people…On the contrary, it should allow them to benefit as well, so that they can become friends in the end.”
Wang Anshi understood even more. In the video, those who were not affected were the landlords. After the landlords tasted the sweetness of the iron bull plowing the land faster, they preferred the latter.
If he still couldn't see through the superficial distribution of benefits, it would be a waste of the political…wisdom that he had honed in his many years of officialdom.
" Also, let the new interest groups collide with the old interest groups. Only then can the reform succeed and reduce the resistance to the reform. The most important point is to carry out a pilot project.”
Zhang Juzheng also saw through it. He saw the change in the identities of the farmers.
This situation directly involved some people who were trying to curry favor with both sides.
Then, he would try it out.
Silently, it affected one area and then the entire country.
This kind of reform was slowly gathering some kind of momentum. When this momentum took shape, no one could stop it.
He knew this power.
"So this is how reform works."
The eyes of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and the others flashed.
……
"All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit…"
"Wang Mang, do you know what the correct posture is?”
Qin Feng didn't say anything more and directly asked Wang Mang.
Wang Mang quivered and reacted with a guilty expression."Teacher, I, I understand. "Student, you're taking too big a step. You should first set up a trial in the imperial court to nurture a new interest group. Then, you should use this interest group to collide with the old interest group. At the same time, you should also take advantage of the situation in the world and go with the flow…"
Wang Mang immediately poured out his thoughts. He was not an ordinary person. After Qin Feng's reminder, he immediately grasped the core essence of the reform.
However, no one expected him to say this Dragon Slaying Technique so bluntly.
As soon as he said that.
Huo Guang, Dong Zhongshu, and the others were shocked.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others exchanged glances.
Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and the others were struck by a bolt from the blue by Wang Mang's highly summarized words.
"This…don't say anymore! Wang Mang, it's good that you know the secret of this reform! Don't let those people with ulterior motives know!”
Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Kang Xi, and the others couldn't help but speak up, afraid that the world would continue to learn this secret book of reform.
However, they suddenly realized that they could no longer hide it.
Qin Feng had already eliminated all superstitions. Then, he would teach ordinary people how to counter the emperor's dragon slaying technique. Then, he would teach them the reform. After the entire set of test papers was explained, they could no longer stop what would happen.
……
"Alright! Stop talking! So, you already know where you went wrong? It's not wrong for me to deduct your points, right?”
Qin Feng also decisively stopped Wang Mang from reflecting on his actions. When it came to reform, one only needed to plant the seeds.
He didn't want to waste any more time on Wang Mang.
"I understand. Examiner Qin Feng, I can't blame you for my mistakes. Those policies of mine have indeed brought disaster upon everyone.”Wang Mang nodded, convinced.
" Alright then. There shouldn't be any more questions, right?"
"No more."
Wang Mang could now see that examiner Qin Feng could not bear to see any examinees who were arrogant and self-satisfied. After this round of education, he had no choice but to accept it.
……
"Next, we will continue to announce the results of candidate Liu Xiu.”
After waiting for a few minutes, Qin Feng once again entered the process. When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to temporarily suppress all kinds of thoughts in their hearts and once again look forward to Liu Xiu's results.
"Candidate Liu Xiu! Han clan relatives! The founding king of the Eastern Han!"
"Kill Wang Mang, establish the Eastern Han, pacify the east of the country, gather the right, and the west of Shu, and start the Guangwu Era!
"The only perfect emperor in the entire Han Dynasty. There are no flaws on him. He is also the most knowledgeable, the best at fighting, and the best at employing people. With his unique charisma, he conquered his opponents and subordinates…"
"In the Battle of Kunyang, 20,000 soldiers defeated Wang Mang's 400,000 soldiers!”
"After establishing the country, treat the meritorious officials well…"
……
"Treat meritorious officials well.”
Liu Xiu's results were about to be announced. Zhu Di admired this emperor who had revived the Great Han Dynasty with his own strength.
How would he know?
Qin Feng's introduction made him recall his father's dark history.
"Liu Xiu…how many points can this almost perfect emperor get?”
" Emperor Guangwu loved reading, was good at fighting, was good at employing people, and was kind to meritorious officials…"
Zhao Kuangyin also raised his head and stared at Liu Xiu.
The phrase 'internal saint and external king' was used to describe Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Almost all the emperors after the Eastern Han Dynasty had a good impression of this emperor. They even regarded him as a role model to learn from.
"Wei Zheng, how many points do you think Liu Xiu can get?”
Looking at Liu Xiu, Li Shimin smiled at Wei Zheng."You're using his standards to ask me!”
"Your Majesty, this subject doesn't dare to speak nonsense, but this subject feels that Emperor Liu Xiu's score shouldn't be low.”Wei Zheng answered truthfully.
"Tsk tsk, zhen also guessed that his score wouldn't be low.”
Li Shimin looked up." It's rare. Emperor Guangwu didn't look nervous. I can't do what he did."”
Yes, it was.
While the others were worried for Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu still had a warm smile on his face.
"Empress, don't be nervous. It's just an exam. Zhen doesn't have high requirements.”
Eastern Han listened to Qin Feng's praise, but he was neither servile nor overbearing. He calmly faced him. At this time, he felt Yin Lihua's nervousness and even comforted him.
He was the Feng Shui Sect of the emperor's realm, always full of optimism.
His optimism quickly infected all the officials in the court, especially the Eighteen Generals of Yuntai. They were once again infected by Liu Xiu's calm attitude.
For some reason, under his warm smile, the people in the entire universe who were staring at him were no longer nervous.
"Examinee Liu Xiu, Test result: 80 points, Final result: Good. The current Emperor's Golden Roll was ranked second alongside Liu Che!”
Finally, Qin Feng announced his score.
"Good! Eighty points! Your Majesty, we got eighty points!"
"We can extend our lifespans by twenty years!"
The moment the results came out, the entire court was overjoyed. Empress Yin Lihua was so happy that she almost fainted.
"Eighty? Not bad…"
However, Liu Xiu was very calm. He still maintained his smile and acted like an emperor who loved to smile. It seemed that his luck would not be bad.
Li Shimin and the other emperors were impressed by his calm demeanor.
This was a good level!
……
"Liu Xiu, do you have any objections to your test scores?”
After the rewards were distributed, Qin Feng asked Liu Xiu as usual.
Qin Feng looked at this emperor who was unfazed by favor and humiliation like the best and most polite student in the class. He could not help but have a good impression of him.
"Examiner Qin Feng, Xiu has no objections.”
Liu Xiu stared at the test paper and smiled." But I still don't know much about one question. You can answer the seventh question for me…To be honest, I'm not very confident in answering this question.”
"Oh, you want to question your answer?”
Qin Feng looked at Liu Xiu in surprise. This was the first examinee to ask the correct question.
"Yes, examiner Qin Feng, I would like to take a look. What is the optimal solution to this question? Xiu wanted to know how far the imperial court could go in the face of a disaster and how they could minimize their losses.”Liu Xiu still had a modest smile on his face.
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at the seventh question.
[Question 7: If your country is facing an unprecedented disaster, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, plagues, famines, and foreign invasions, what do you think is the most likely situation?]
A: All of us will work together to overcome the difficulties
B: If one side is in trouble, support from all sides
C: The rebels took the opportunity to change the dynasty.
D: Civil and military officials fill their own pockets and make a fortune
E: Let it be and wait passively for the disaster to pass
This question!
Seeing this question, the emperors were surprised again!
