The name was decided, and the first thing Xiong Yan did after he ascended the throne was over.After that, except for occasionally interfering in the government, he has been in a state of spectatorship.At Xiong Yan's request, the cabinet formulated the first five-year plan and published it nationwide.In the past five years, Xiong Yan rarely took the initiative to deal with state affairs, and more often, he just quietly watched.It's just that although Xiong Yan doesn't take care of things himself, the power in his hands is slowly growing.When the first five-year plan is over, of course, there is the second five-year plan, the third five-year plan.In the case that Xiong Yan did not interfere much in the government, the civil officials themselves were divided.In the past, the civil officials had an extremely powerful opponent, and under the pressure of this opponent, all the civil officials had to unite to fight against a foreign enemy, and this opponent was called the emperor.But after Xiong Yan succeeded to the throne, he rarely took the initiative to meddle in government politics.However, the scholars of the cabinet had to take the initiative to move closer to Xiong Yan.Only with the help of Xiong Yan's identity, they, the cabinet scholars, can justifiably command the officials of the world.You must know that even Zhang Juzheng, the most powerful minister of the Great Meng Dynasty, was able to suppress the ministers with the help of the identity of Master Wanli.Otherwise, it may be difficult for the civil officials below to succeed, but it is more than enough to fail, and he can not do anything in minutes.So unconsciously, the civil officials in the court were divided into two factions, namely the cabinet faction and the monk book faction.The cabinet faction is all cabinet scholars, and they are also the core of the highest power of civil officials other than Xiong Yan, and when Xiong Yan is not in charge of things, their power is almost the greatest in the world.The Shangshu faction was led by the six Shangshu, and they were more like actually working than the high-ranking cabinet scholars.The five-year plan was formulated by cabinet scholars, but the actual implementers were local bureaucrats and the six scholars.Xiong Yan is the supervisor and the referee standing aside, and every time the five-year plan is over, if the plan is completed perfectly, Xiong Yan continues to remain silent.And if there is a lack of plan, Xiong Yan will conform to public opinion and cut off one or two, or even three or four scholars.In the blink of an eye, Xiong Yan has been on the throne for a hundred years.In the past hundred years, Xiong Yan has rarely gone down to do a certain thing in person, but the entire government is well controlled by him.The Shangshu faction checks and balances the cabinet faction, the civil officials fight among the civil officials, and the civil officials fight with the military generals.For a hundred years, the combat effectiveness of civilian officials was unobstructed.It can only be said that fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and fighting with people is endless!
It's just that just when the eyes of the civil officials have been staring at the generals, staring at the opposing factions, and fighting fiercely, a new force has risen!
This new force is none other than ordinary people.In the past, almost all the high-level leaders of Dachu were from powerful families and sects.Even if it wasn't, after he became a high-ranking official, the family automatically became a powerful family.However, when education was thoroughly popularized, especially after various learning methods were sold cheaply, and the price of books dropped again and again, Dachu had officially entered the stage of national reading.At this stage, even a farmer who has been farming all his life can write his name and can recognize dozens of words.Today, even the most basic and important compulsory education has appeared!
In the beginning, the duration of compulsory education was only one year.Today, the length of compulsory education has reached a full nine years.At the same time, under the background of Xiong Yan's continuous printing and distribution of money, the total amount of money in Dachu has increased from about two trillion taels a hundred years ago to twenty trillion today.From the point of view of monetary aggregates, the total value of one tael of silver today is only one-tenth of that of a hundred years ago.But a lot of times, that's not how the accounts are calculated.After printing money, the money in the hands of the farmers finally increased a lot.After the price of books was further reduced, and after the number of years of compulsory education was increased to nine years, the reading of the whole population was finally fully realized.Now, under the premise that the difficulty of the exam remains the same, the number of children is increasing, and it is finally worthless.Even if there is a relationship, you can't be a petty official.Only a talent can start from a small official.As for wanting to be an official directly, the threshold is even higher, and you have to raise people to do it.No way, there are too many readers.Even if the educational resources enjoyed by ordinary people cannot be compared with the wealthy families, the base of ordinary people is too large, even if there is only one genius among 10,000 ordinary people, the accumulation of them one by one is enough to make the children of the family unbearable.In front of the rapidly expanding number of officials with ordinary backgrounds, the former cabinet faction and the Shangshu faction have all become one faction.In this regard, of course, Xiong Yan made a secret move, and after another divine operation, the forces among the civil officials of the imperial court were temporarily balanced.The sons of the family rely on resources and occupy high positions.But the bottom layer is occupied by a larger number of talented mud legs.In addition, Xiong Yan, the emperor Lao Tzu who is secretly eyeing each other, also maintains a balance with each other.At this point, Lone finally has a little choice.No matter how high your strength is, if you don't have a choice, it's meaningless. ”Some people say that I am a high-ranking official, and I can decide the life and death of thousands of people with a single policy, so I am very happy, I am very happy.But the question is, do you have a choice?
Some people say that I am a genius, I have been the first in my class since I was a child, I started learning foreign languages when I was three years old, and I started learning one-dimensional quadratic equations when I was four years old......
I'm only twelve years old this year, and I'm already the top student in the college entrance examination, and I'm a super genius!
The same question asked, do you have a choice?"
With Your Majesty's strength, Your Majesty's current status, how can you not have a choice?"
Oak on the side said with a smile.At this moment, Oak has long become a queen.As early as a hundred years ago, when Xiong Yan had not yet ascended the throne, she was the crown princess.Later, when Xiong Yan ascended the throne, he directly became the queen.It's just a pity that so far, she, the queen, has no son and half a daughter.In fact, not only her, but also the rest of the concubines, so far there is no son and half a daughter.Of course, the problem is not with these concubines, but with Xiong Yan.Xiong Yan's strength is too strong, if he wants to have a son, the strength of the concubine must be very strong, at least he must be a true immortal.If you are not even a true immortal, then it is difficult to get pregnant, this is an objective condition.In addition, as an ancient man, it is not so easy to want a son.Without damaging the foundation, the right time, place and people must be complete, so that it is possible to have a powerful concubine and give birth to offspring.That's why many of the ancients didn't have any descendants."
I seemed strong before, but I still didn't have a choice.Most of the civil officials who govern the world come from families, even if they are not from families, they will quickly become families after becoming officials. ”"At that time, even if I found an opportunity to get rid of a few ministers reasonably and legally, it didn't make any sense.The newly promoted is still a family. ”As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and a person's style of acting usually depends on where he stands.As a son of a family, or the head of a first-generation family, there may occasionally be a few who betray their class, but after all, they are a minority.This is also the main reason why Xiong Yan has always remained small and transparent before.If he really wants to manage it, of course he can manage it, but the effective time is limited.Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, when he was alive, he fought with corrupt officials in the world for a lifetime, and it finally had some effect.But as soon as he died, he was counted down by a counterattack.The hard work before his death was completely wasted.This kind of change, which is effective for a very short time, is not very useful.There are too many times, there are policies and countermeasures, and it may be completely useless."
But now, ordinary people have really grown up.It is precisely because they have grown up that the families will become more and more loyal to the court.It's not that they're really loyal, it's that the situation is like this. ”The general trend of the rise of ordinary people is already obvious.Under the education of all, geniuses among ordinary people can be said to emerge in endlessly.The base is too large, even if the average probability of geniuses is smaller than that of the family, the actual number of geniuses is still far more than the family.In the face of this situation, if the sons of the family or the first generation of the family heads do not want to lose their power, the best way is of course to be loyal to the imperial court, and with the help of the general trend of the imperial court, to suppress, win over, and divide the geniuses and heroes among ordinary people."
This is the general trend, and following the general trend can get twice the result with half the effort.A person who fights against the general trend will eventually be crushed by the general trend.With the printing of money and compulsory education, the rise of ordinary people is the general trend today. ”It's just that playing with the general trend is risky.If you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire, and it is normal to play yourself to death.And the general trend of the rise of ordinary people in front of him was slowly cultivated by Xiong Yan after spending more than a hundred years.Without Yicheng County and the county with a province, it would not be possible to raise so many qualified teachers.Without so many qualified teachers, compulsory education is nonsense!
If you can't even do compulsory education, then don't even think about reading for all, practicing martial arts for all, and even cultivating immortals for all.Recalling the experience of the past hundred years, Xiong Yan also felt a sense of relief for a while.It's not easy, even if Xiong Yan's cultivation is profound and his strength is extraordinary, he still has a sense of powerlessness in the face of countless bureaucrats up and down in Dachu.Even if he is the emperor, even if his strength is amazing, he can only kill a certain one or some civil officials at best.But at this moment, the sons of the family have to be loyal in the face of the threat of mud legs.In order to rise, ordinary people must be loyal.When all the civil officials are loyal to the emperor, whatever the emperor Lao Tzu says, it is what it is!
Such an emperor is refreshing to do!
