The inheritance has not been cut off, and there are also embarrassing aspects. Just like Xu Wei's attempt to falsify history was immediately exposed.
The simplest reason why these Daqian executives easily believe that these savages have nothing to do with them is that these savages do not know how to make cars.
Forget about other things, he can’t even make cars. How can anyone believe that these savages and themselves have the same ancestor?
We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, don’t you know what your ancestors did?
Gongsun Xuanyuan, it is obvious that the car was made by his ancestors, but in that area of the New World, there are no four-wheeled carriages, two-wheeled carriages or even wheelbarrows. This world does not even have the concept of wheels. How could this possibly come from them? Those who migrated here together are even less likely to be descendants of the Yin Shang.
Of course, the lie was exposed, and Xu Wei did not feel embarrassed. He did this mainly to make the savages identify with Daqian, and also to let the people on his side accept the fact that they are a family, so that it would be easier to rule the New World.
Fortunately, Niu Gui and the others also understood Xu Wei's thoughts. He thought for a while and said: "There are many scholars studying the New World in Jidu, such as Xu Shao, Sima Jing and others. They have made a lot of achievements during this period. If the government wants to In order for the savages to identify with our ancestors, it is better to look for them. The history should be longer, such as the Fuxi period or the Suiren King period, because there are not even a few legends left in that period of history. Not easily exposed."
Niu Gui just told Xu Wei that if he wanted to compile history, it would be better to find some professional talents.
Xu Wei also agreed with this opinion and asked his men to ask the great scholars from Jidu to discuss it.
Jidu, Prime Minister's Mansion!
When Niu Gui came in, a group of old brothers gathered around him and asked: "How does the old man arrange the New World when he is in power? What are the regulations?"
Niu Guidao: "Establish the Eastern Continent Governor's Office, with a city of 2,000 shi, and be fully in charge of the military affairs of the Eastern Continent. However, we have not yet determined who this Governor will be!"
Zhang Baiqi asked: "Do the ruling colleagues agree that we old brothers will go to the New World to found our country?"
They don't care how to manage the New World. What they care about is whether Xu Wei opens up the New World. This is related to the prosperity of their family in the future.
Zhang Baiqi and the others were helpless. A year ago, Xu Wei asked the court to pass the retirement law. Officials with an income of less than 2,000 shi must retire and give up their positions when they reach the age of 60. The statutory retirement annuity reaches the age of 65 at the state and county level, and the age of 70 for ministerial and above levels. and reach the statutory retirement age, then they must retire compulsorily.
In order to appease them, Xu Wei included himself, which meant that when he reached the age of 70, he himself would also retire. Xu Wei led by example, making it difficult for these old brothers to complain. They have been in power and have even retired from power, so what do they mean?
This is not good news for the officials of Daqian. In the past, the officials of Daqian were very young, and there were many 20-year-old prefects and governors. Niu Gui became the prime minister of Daqian at the age of 40.
Back then, these old brothers of Xu Wei were even more high-spirited, and they governed this brand new country with the passion to change the world.
But more than ten years have passed, and it is because of their youth that the officialdom of Daqian has become somewhat solidified. New people are constantly coming in, but the old people feel that they are still very young and in the golden age of politics, so naturally they refuse to do so. abdicate.
The mobility of Daqian's officialdom in recent years has all depended on Guo Daxian's imperial censor's office. Every year, he brought down thousands of officials due to corruption and other matters, which brought a bit of liquidity to Daqian's officialdom. There is also Daqian. The continuous expansion of land brought official positions.
But last year Xu Wei established a retirement law, which completely made them understand that they had to retire if they didn't want to.
Niu Gui, who was young and strong at the time, is now an old man in his sixties, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi and others are almost seventy years old, and the other old brothers are basically between 60 and 70 years old, which means that they are no longer In a few years, Daqian's officialdom will see a large number of old brothers retire due to the retirement law.
There is a trend this year. Many older brothers have to retire as county magistrates. Although the treatment given by the governor is not bad, even if they retire, their salary will not be reduced. There will also be dedicated people to serve them and doctors to take care of their health. .But losing their rights is still difficult for many old brothers to accept.
So Zhang Baiqi and the others began to look for a way out for themselves. Since they were retiring from officialdom, they had to find ways to get some benefits for their families, and going to the New World to build a country was obviously the best option for them. A good retreat is to become the master of a country and regain power. For them, this is the best retirement.
Niu Gui said helplessly: "This aspect is just not mentioned, but if you want to go to the New World, the government should agree. But the situation in the New World is unclear now. Do you want to wait until the New World is developed and stabilized before going there? After all, we are not interested in the New World now. We know too little about it, we know that there are a large number of savage tribes there, but we don’t know anything else.”
Zhang Baiqi said: "If it is really stable, the good places will be occupied by others. It is only when no one knows the situation inside that we can occupy a good resource. Otherwise, we will only rely on our financial resources." The cost of building a country is too huge, and it is difficult for us to afford it."
Yang Feng also followed up and said: "You should also think about it for yourself. Why did the ruler transfer the royal army to Jidu? It was not just to replace you. You, the prime minister, can't be prime minister for a few years. Recently, the ruler came to talk to us and said that He always means the same thing, saying that officials should be younger and the officialdom should be more fluid."
Lei Damu said aggrievedly: "The ruler also said that we are old. We have been fighting for most of our lives and our bodies are severely damaged. Now that we have retired, we can just take care of our bodies and enjoy the great rivers and mountains we have built. He said that he would continue to be our brothers for 50 years. Even if he said this, he did not dislike us old brothers. We are too old and frail to be able to compete with these young people. We want to replace us with these young people."
Others were also full of grievances. It was unprecedented that officials could retire. Although the Han Dynasty also had a system for becoming officials, they were overthrown by the officialdom and had to retire.
This is the first time that they have formed a system like this and retired officials in batches. They can only admire the ability to govern, but this time the game is on their head.
These people feel that they are all young and strong, and it is not yet time to retire, and they are not willing to retire.
