If we really want to find a comparison for this Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
Then, the CPPCC of later Chinese dynasties may be the best reference.
You can say that he has great power and great influence.
After all, hundreds of schools of thought and various factions represent the interests of almost all factions in the entire world.
There are representatives of big landowners and nobles, such as Gu Liang and Zhongmin.
There are also representatives of the middle class, such as the Xunzi school and the Simeng school.
There are also spokespersons for the interests of the people at the bottom.
For example, the Mohist, Zajia, certain branches of the Huang-Lao sect and farmers.
At the same time, there were also emerging military nobles and foreign relatives and nobles attending the meeting.
Since the founding of the entire Han Dynasty, there have never been so many different voices coming together.
Together they can make a sound that would make the emperor tremble.
Even, it is enough to determine the direction of laws and national policies!
but
Like the CPPCC, Liu Che knew very well that this was actually an eraser, a relatively serious party and a salon similar to a party.
What can it decide?
If the people in power don’t agree, it can’t actually decide anything!
It doesn't really have any definite power other than applause!
However, in Liu Che's heart, he still wanted to give the Shiquge Conference certain powers.
At least, this meeting must be built into the Western Han Dynasty version of the CPPCC.
Otherwise, there would be no place to resolve and vent the disputes between interest groups and factions in the world.
If things go on like this, conflicts will continue to accumulate, and the Han Empire will probably die sooner or later.
The Shiquge Conference model is very good.
Everyone gets together every now and then to eat, drink, and have fun. Then, they blast each other on some issues and reach some deals and compromises along the way.
Finally, the conference came to a successful conclusion with a round of applause and warm cheers.
The Emperor of Han once again won 99.9% of the support of the world!
good for everyone.
What a perfect design!
Simply art!
Even Liu Che himself was a little proud and intoxicated with his wit.
Because he was in a good mood, Liu Che patiently decided to have a serious discussion with Ji An about the issue of craftsmen becoming officials.
"Can medical prescriptions and divination be used by court officials?" Liu Che asked first.
In Chinese history, there was a long period of time when witch doctors did not separate their families.
Even now, this is the case in many remote areas.
Local fortune tellers and part-time doctors are commonplace.
After all, works by pioneers of traditional Chinese medicine such as Su Wen Ling Shu Huang Di Nei Jing and other works can actually be used as self-study textbooks for fortune tellers in many cases.
Until the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, which he also said at the beginning: Medical prescriptions are difficult to master because of the divination of medical prescriptions.
A long time ago, doctors and diviners were the high-ranking nobles and even rulers of the country.
The story of Shen Nong’s taste of herbs is familiar to all of us.
But in modern times, the status of medical prescriptions and divination has declined sharply.
In the Han Dynasty, doctors were even regarded as technicians similar to handymen, and were excluded from the mainstream academic circles.
When the scholar-bureaucrats are sick, they can just take care of themselves temporarily.
What kind of respect do you want them to have for doctors?
Then I'm sorry!
Back then, a national treasure-level doctor like Cang Gong Chunyu Yi was almost beaten by the government for a minor crime.
Fortunately he gave birth to a wonderful daughter!
Even so, before Liu Che recruited and reused Chun Yuyi and began to systematically cultivate and train doctors.
The status of doctors is not even as good as that of agricultural officials.
In the Shaofu system, the Imperial Medical Office is just an institution dedicated to serving the royal family.
There are even some quacks among them.
Even now, the status of doctors is actually only a little higher.
It is almost a fantasy to be like future generations and have the mainstream academic circles recognize and respect doctors, and at the same time recognize that big doctors heal the country, Chinese medicine heals people, and lower level medicine heals diseases.
However, Ji An is Huang Laoxue's sweetheart.
Huang Laoxue and medical prescription divination are closely related.
Almost every student of Huang Laoxue is actually a qualified doctor.
At least, they have all read the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics and have basic medical knowledge.
This is the fundamental reason why the Huanglao politicians in the early Han Dynasty lived long.
They are all health experts!
Zhang Cang, the Wenhou of Peking, who lived for 104 years, was even more like a B!
Therefore, when faced with Liu Che's question, Ji An thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Of course it is possible. If you practice medicine and practice it carefully, you can also lead people to do good!"
"Good!" Liu Che applauded slightly, and then asked: "Do you think the agricultural official can be the ninth minister?"
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, agricultural and agricultural officials have been the largest part of officials at the local grassroots level.
After Liu Che came to the throne, he launched a special campaign to create the so-called millet protector Baomai Duwei, so that almost every county in Guanzhong had more than five agricultural officials.
Today, no one dares to deny the role of agricultural officials.
The landowners, scholar-bureaucrats, and the children of aristocratic ministers no longer regard agricultural officials as low-ranking officials.
Among the peasant disciples, there were even talented bureaucrats like Shang Rong.
He is already Da Nong Cheng. When Da Nong Zhi becomes an official, Shang Rong will definitely be able to take over Da Nong Yamen and officially become the Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty as a farmer's son.
This will be a historic breakthrough.
However, no one can object.
Shang Rong's abilities and contributions can be seen by anyone who is not blind.
Of course, the agricultural official can also be the Jiuqing, and maybe he can also be the Three Dukes!
Therefore, Ji An also nodded and said: "Of course it is possible. The study of farming is the most important thing in the world, and it is the key to encourage farming. Your Majesty emphasizes agriculture and eliminates the bad, and it must be done by farmers!"
Liu Che applauded again, then looked at Ji An and asked: "Since medical prescriptions and divination can serve as court ministers, agricultural officials, and rank among the nine ministers, why can't a craftsman with hundreds of skills be an official with six hundred stones?"
"Carpenters, following the teachings of Lu Ban, make waterwheels, build bridges, and build houses."
"A blacksmith, smelt ore, make plows, and make various tools."
"The weaver peels off the cocoon to protect the world from the cold"
Liu Che finally looked at Ji An: "Please tell me why Baigong cannot be an official?"
Ji An was stunned for a moment.
He found that he could not help but believe the emperor's statement.
But
If all craftsmen can become officials, they can enter and leave official offices and wear seals and ribbons around their waists.
Where does the dignity of scholar-bureaucrats and the honor of honorable ministers reside?
Ji An only had to imagine that in the future, he and his friends would be drinking in private, and there would be a craftsman sitting there who was covered in sweat, muscular, and at the same time rude and rude, and he would immediately feel uncomfortable.
This is also the self-perception of most scholar-bureaucrats today.
The interactions between scholar-bureaucrats are the friendship between gentlemen.
It's a story about elegance and humor.
Insert a craftsman who is full of swear words, uses vulgar words, and has no sense of humor or elegance.
No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with the style of painting!
But Ji An forgot one thing. Speaking of vulgarity, who can compare with Wu Fu?
It is not unusual for Qiu Ba and Qiu Ba to overturn the table and beat the scholar-bureaucrats to death when they disagree with each other.
However, no scholar-officials expressed dissatisfaction or objection to this.
The fact is that scholar-bureaucrats, who are called gentlemen, compare themselves to sages.
In fact, many people are a bunch of scum who bully the weak and fear the strong! To be continued.
