"We haven't seen each other for many years, and you're already called a loner?" Gongsun Long looked at Jin Yao playfully.
However, there were hundreds of Zhao officials around, so it was difficult to refute his face, so I just thought about it in my heart, and finally took the initiative to bow to the emperor.
The meeting between husband-in-law and son-in-law is like the meeting between king and minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, full of etiquette.
"It's great!" Jin Yao felt happy in his heart. No wonder so many people want to be emperor. They don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard and being blocked by a bunch of people from his wife's family.
There is no need to worry about being beaten up by Gongsun Long, especially when he sees Gongsun Long saluting him, he feels even more happy. Finally he no longer has to be a head shorter.
"Damn it, you actually have to bow to this kid first!" Gongsun Long also had a smile on his face, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
Sitting across from each other in the palace, because Gongsun Long was specially invited, he naturally had to withstand the test of Zhao Guo's officials.
First, he told his philosophy of governing the country, and then the officials of Zhao State made things difficult for him.
Therefore, Gongsun Long stood in the center of the court, talking about how he should govern Zhao State and what government orders he would have after taking office.
All the officials and generals of Jin Yao and Zhao State listened silently, while the civil servants took notes and prepared to make things difficult.
Although everyone knew that it was an established fact that Gongsun Long became the Prime Minister of Zhao, the relics of the Zhou family did not think so, nor did the officials of Zhao State.
They also hope that the emperor can see them and know their talents.
Therefore, Jin Yao watched and listened silently, waiting for Gongsun Long to come and quarrel with the ministers.
"It's so great, hubby Gongsun, you also have this day!" Jin Yao smiled and looked at Gongsun Long who was blushing, excited and angry in the court.
"After talking so much, Mr. Gongsun still doesn't have a perfect system suitable for Zhao State!" Lian Po sighed, a little disappointed.
After all, what they want to compare is the system of the Qin State, and the standard is the laws of the Shang Lord. However, if there can really be a legal system comparable to the Qin State and the Shang Lord, there will not be only one powerful Qin State in the world.
Although Gongsun Long proposed many feasible laws and regulations applicable to Zhao State, in the end there was still no complete system.
It can only be said that Gongsun Long's decree is equivalent to Shen Buha's reforms in Korea and Shen Dao's reforms in Qi, which can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause.
"This is normal. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Legalists came up with three great talents: Shang Jun, Shenzi, and Shenzi. They also found an applicable system for enriching the country and strengthening the army. After all, famous scholars are not just those who specialize in politics.
." Jin Yao followed Lian Po's message and communicated.
Great talents are only born by standing on the shoulders of sages. Whether it is Shang Jun, Shenzi or Shenzi, they are all great talents born under the accumulation of Legalism, and have embarked on three different paths of experiment.
It was finally verified that it was Shang Jun alone.
"At least it's much better than being a mediocre prime minister, isn't it?" Jin Yao continued to communicate with Lian Po.
"Yeah!" Lian Po was also unconvinced.
If someone else were to serve as prime minister, I'm afraid he would not be as good as Gongsun Long. At least Gongsun Long really had the means and ideas to change some of the shortcomings of Zhao State.
For three days in a row, Gongsun Longyu's battle with the ministers was spread all over Handan, letting the people know what kind of person they were about to usher in as the new prime minister, and what kind of policies would be beneficial to them after taking charge of the Zhao Kingdom.
….
Therefore, the people had confidence in their hearts and accepted the fact that Gongsun Long entered Zhao as prime minister.
At the end of the last day's debate, Gongsun Long looked at the Zhao officials who had been persuaded by him, and then looked at Jin Yao provocatively. That's it? No one can fight!
Jin Yao rolled his eyes and started talking to famous experts. A hundred experts combined might not be qualified, so there was nothing to be proud of.
"It is proposed to appoint Mr. Gongsun Long as prime minister. Do you still have any objections?" After finally making the final decision, Jin Yao looked at the officials and generals and asked loudly.
"We have no objection!" The civil servants were convinced.
"We have no objection!" The generals were happy to watch the fun. After all, the prime minister was responsible for governing the government and was in charge of civil servants, so it had nothing to do with them.
"That being the case, please give me your blessing and accept it!" Jin Yao nodded, and then asked the palace minister to do the ceremony.
The eunuch presented the seal, jade and official uniform representing the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Long, thank you!" Gongsun Long was also a little excited. After all, he is the prime minister of a country.
The eunuch took Gongsun Long to the side hall next door and changed into the official uniform of the Prime Minister. Then he took Gongsun Long back to the main hall to accept the greetings of the officials.
Finally, the entire set of prime minister appointment ceremonies was officially completed, and the court dispersed.
However, although the court meeting broke up, Gongsun Long and Lian Po still stayed, and were brought to the government palace by the eunuchs.
Jin Yao had been waiting in the main hall early.
"Let's talk while we eat!" Jin Yao invited the two of them to sit across from each other at the same table.
After all, I haven't eaten for nearly half a day.
Gongsun Long and Lian Po were also polite. This was the emperor's nine-cauldron feast. Usually he had to eat secretly if he wanted to eat. If he was discovered, it would still be a serious crime. This was the first time he could eat openly.
"I have something I don't understand!" Jin Yao asked while eating.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty!" Lian Po and Gongsun Long both stopped and watched the last piece of venison being taken away by Jin Yao and put it into the bowl. They cursed in their hearts, this guy must have done it on purpose.
"Why is there a need for a new system?" Jin Yao asked rhetorically.
This is also the most puzzling thing for him. Since Shang Jun has come up with a complete system, why can't other countries learn from it, copy it, and have to come up with their own? Otherwise, they would rather respect the ancients and still use the Three Gongs of the Zhou Dynasty.
Jiuqing system.
At first he thought this was because Shang Jun's system could only be used in the Qin state, but the subsequent dynasties continued to develop according to the Qin system.
Therefore, it can be seen that Shang Jun’s method is universal and not only applicable to Qin.
At most, it just requires some changes in each country.
Gongsun Long and Lian Po finally fell silent after listening to Jin Yao's words. Why? Because they all want to save face. Do they want to tell the world that they are useless and can only copy the works of Lord Shang who has been dead for more than a hundred years?
Old road?
Moreover, if you copy someone else's work, you will fall behind step by step. Therefore, no matter what the reason is, they cannot learn from Mr. Shang.
"I can't learn!" Gongsun Long shook his head, "The whole world is composed of counties and states. The princes and nobles control this place. Only the Zhao State after the king took charge is different. The king entered Zhao alone, so there is no king's official residence in Zhao State.
, there is no lord to manage those nobles!"
Jin Yao was stunned, and then he remembered that before the emergence of the county system, all countries, even the Qin State, had a feudal system. The big nobles controlled the small nobles, and then the royal family managed the big nobles, which radiated out to counties and counties everywhere.
A royal fief goes to the local county where the chief is appointed.
"We still have to abduct Li Si!" Jin Yao thought in his heart that the county system does not just mean setting up counties. It involves various official management. I am afraid that only Li Si knows this best.
