"I want a complete revolution, Tuanzi, come and help me."
"A thorough reform will kill many, many people, far more than now."
"It is better to live a mediocre life than to die magnificently. It takes three hundred years to shed so much blood in vain, so it is better to spend it on complete innovation."
Okay, we've gone to the other extreme again.
Maoqiu is very helpless.
But it is not a human philosopher, let alone a sociologist. It only knows some superficial knowledge.
For example, industrial thinking and industrial characteristics mean that if you want to make progress, you must industrialize and you must develop education.
As for the overall innovation architecture, it is difficult to design.
So he expressed his thoughts in general.
Make new laws and stipulate that the monarch himself must abide by them.
The power of legislation has been changed from the monarch holding the constitution in his mouth to being decided by more people.
These things were warmly welcomed by the ministers.
In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the system of virtual monarchs began to be explored, and many great Confucian scholars have conducted in-depth discussions on this aspect.
The Ming Emperor was not afraid.
However, if it were the Qing Dynasty, facing all the wise emperors, who would dare to mention the word "virtual emperor"?
If you don’t mention these two words, there will be a hell of words waiting for you. Don’t say these two words.
"The Queen Mother is really wise."
"The Queen Mother's virtue is comparable to that of the greatest saint, great hero, and great sage in ancient and modern times..."
"From now on, the foundation of our dynasty will be solid forever. We no longer have to worry about the appearance of a weak king, and it will surely last for tens of thousands of years..."
But the ministers were not very happy about what happened next.
"Five years of compulsory education? The saint said that in order to educate all living beings, education should be universalized. But where can we get so much money?"
"If the inner palace allocates funds, then it's okay."
"How is it possible to allow non-scholars to enter the House of Representatives? The imperial examination is the foundation of our dynasty. How can people without merit and fame enter the House of Representatives?"
"That's right. Those poor people who don't know a word can be bribed with a small profit and let them enter the House of Representatives. Isn't that causing trouble?"
The important ministers discussed it a lot.
Lu Zhi did not push it forcefully, but slowly implemented it.
Maoqiu told her that even with strong pressure and numerous opposition measures, she would still have a miscarriage in the end.
…………
"What? They legislated that the palace cannot monopolize the secret of the Fountain of Youth and transfer it to the Senate?" Lu Zhi never expected that she would be the first to make innovations with good intentions, and in the end, she would be hit on the head first.
"Brilliant, these are the pillars of the city gate of Shang Yang's reform. If you don't abide by this, they will know that the rest are false. Laws that are not in the interest of the royal family will still not pass." Maoqiu sighed.
road.
The human heart is too sinister.
In the face of interests, who cares whether you serve the country wholeheartedly?
"It seems that they have too many young people and few people who have suffered a stroke. I wonder how the stroke queen mother of the Ai family came to be." Lu Zhi said coldly.
It was impossible for her to hand over the secret of the Fountain of Youth.
If you hand it over, the empire will be on the verge of collapse.
Now the empire's operations and fiscal expenditures all rely on the Fountain of Youth as a medium.
"Then you can't issue an edict directly. You should also go through the parliament and accuse this requirement as being unreasonable because it involves depriving others of their property ownership." Mao Qiu said.
"Okay, Aijia listens to you." Lu Zhi said.
…………
A big discussion about whether the royal family should hand over the secret of the fountain of youth started among the people in the countryside, local dignitaries, and the government and the public.
"I think it should be handed over to everyone, so we can study it together and try to reduce its cost so that everyone can use it," a Lu member said in the newspaper.
As soon as this was said, although some people felt that it was not right, the vast majority of people agreed with this opinion because their mouths followed their butts.
"Yes, it has always been a royal monopoly. They can sell it as high as they want. We poor people can't buy it at all. We support Lu Yuanwai."
"Support, support, we poor people also want to be reincarnated and live an extra life."
"The royal family should not have a monopoly on the Fountain of Youth!"
After seeing these newspapers, Lu Zhi almost exploded with anger!
"These poor people who don't know the truth, don't they know that the relief and job opportunities they receive every year are all allocated from the Ai family?"
"The military expenses for the last big war were all paid for by the Ai family themselves!"
"The imperial court has not been able to collect much tax for hundreds of years. If it were not for monopolizing the Fountain of Youth, this dynasty would have been reincarnated twice!"
She angrily tore up the newspaper!
Maoqiu looked at her sympathetically.
It forgot to tell the other party, don't expect the people to remember the kindness for a long time, their emotions and thoughts will follow the current so-called smart people.
They don't want to know about the overall situation or big things, they only think about the things in front of them.
It’s no wonder they have it, it’s something that life has eliminated, and if they don’t do this, they won’t be able to survive.
They have been squeezed without any accumulation. How can they live if they don't grasp what is in front of them?
They cannot look too far. If they look too far, they will be knocked down or fall into a pit.
"You must control newspapers and public opinion in order to maintain the direction of innovation." Maoqiu added belatedly.
Then it was hit by scissors again.
"I didn't tell you earlier." Lu Zhi said bitterly.
"We agreed not to use the knife for three years."
"The ones just now were scissors."
"Letting everyone know what to do through newspapers, rather than through Xuan Yiwei, is the ultimate goal of innovation." Mao Qiu said reluctantly.
Lu Zhi's anger slowly subsided.
Yes, this is the fundamental feature that distinguishes feudal society from modern society.
…………
"The origin of the fountain of youth is that the royal family worked hard to obtain it from overseas. It has played a role of super luxury tax over the years. More than 70% of my expenditure comes from the sale of the fountain of youth."
"The rich are trying their best to shift the tax burden. Only the Fountain of Youth, which they have to buy at a high price, can force them to flow wealth into society, allowing landless farmers and unemployed citizens to get job opportunities, money and food. This can avoid a once-in-two-hundred-year event.
Cure the chaos cycle.”
"Is three thousand taels really expensive? It's just that you don't work hard enough. You have to find ways to meet the needs of the market in order to find the money."
"In order to meet the needs of the common people, the royal family decided to launch a civilian version of the fountain of youth worth ten taels of silver. It can only carry a very small amount of memory for reincarnation. To drink it on the spot, you must be over 50 years old or seriously ill."
Lu Zhi was also agitated. Aren't you rushing to die?
Don’t you think everyone should have a share?
Well, everyone will have a share and die for the Aijia!
After rounds of discussions, the civilians finally understood what the fountain of youth really meant.
"I see, I was almost deceived by that damn Lu Yuanwai."
"Royal or benevolent, isn't this a simplified version?"
"Ten taels of silver, although it is very expensive, it is enough for a year without food or drink."
"The one who only remembers a name from his previous life and nothing else is still far worse than the one who remembers three thousand taels."
"I heard that there will be one hundred taels, two hundred taels, or even ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, or one million taels."
"What's the difference?"
"It's just that the number of memories is different, and if it's more than 100,000 taels, you can recognize the achievements in the past life."
