"Sir, is it the right time for reform at this time, and how should it be reformed?"
In the short term, the Qin State will not start another war. The three countries have just become friendly allies, and the external environment looks good. There are no forces in the Yan State that can threaten Yan Dan's status. If he really presides over the reform, as long as it is not chaos,
It makes people angry, so we can really look forward to it.
Chen Xiao expressed his policy ideas: "Practice benevolence and righteousness with light punishment, combine virtue with punishment, and use both civil and military forces."
Yan Dan thought about this short sentence secretly, but did not understand the meaning, so he humbly said: "Sir, I would like to hear the details."
"Qin's strict laws are rejected by the people of Shandong, so the king cannot rule the country with severe punishments and laws.
The king had previously used the recruitment hall to recruit talents from all over the world, and the reputation of being hungry for talents spread throughout the world. The talents he recruited were mixed, and among them were wandering knights who had no sense of national principles. Not only were they useless, they would also damage the morals of the people.
Now that the name of the king seeking talents has been spread, it is time to rectify the recruiting hall and not make it a place where filth and evil are harbored, causing harm to oneself. Otherwise, it will be regarded as imitating the Qin state, and harsh punishments and laws cannot be used. Therefore, it is necessary to rectify the country.
Benevolence and righteousness lead to light punishment, and virtue and punishment complement each other.”
“What is the combination of virtue and punishment?”
"The State of Yan has its own legal provisions. If someone violates the law, the sentence may be lighter, but there is an additional official record. This person's moral character is lacking, and he will be subject to many restrictions in the State of Yan from now on.
Once a person loses his moral character, the people will despise him, and his companions will be ashamed to associate with him. If he loses his reputation, he will lose his position. The deterrent of failure is no less than severe punishment.
Specifically, the laws at each level and the corresponding degree of immorality must be carefully considered and brainstormed by capable ministers.
As for the severe penalties in the original law, they will not be abolished, and the bottom line of using severe penalties will be maintained as a deterrent."
"That's it. Sir, Damao was enlightened by his words."
It's not that Yan Dan doesn't know about the fact that the Talent Recruitment Center accepts a lot of random people, and it's not that she doesn't want to take care of it, but she's afraid that something will go wrong and the reputation of Talent Recruitment will be lost.
Those who came to the recruitment hall, no matter how talented or learned they were, were just seeking fame and fortune, and they couldn't stand the restrictions of the Qin State, so they came here.
Chen Xiao's method is not like Qin State's strict laws that directly restrict you, and the punishment seems to be very light; but once you violate it, your future will be basically ruined.
"The combination of virtue and punishment is to correct the country's atmosphere. The combination of civil and military forces is to imitate Lu Yan and open up channels for talents to rise." Chen Xiao continued to explain his short sentence about the reform, "Based on the foundation of Yan State,
Lu Yan’s behavior of building schools is not advisable, but his evaluation and selection system can be copied.”
"Is the inspection and selection system a new system designed by Lu Yan before his death?"
"Yes, Lu Yan's design is actually a pioneering move in talent selection in ancient and modern times. Each locality recommends talents to enter the central government, pass the examination and selection, and obtain the qualifications to serve as officials in the central court. This system is feasible in the Yan State."
"If our country of Yan also uses this system, the local princes or county governors, in order to gain the right to speak in the court in the future, will inevitably send some talents to the court. This can alleviate the embarrassment of the current lack of talents for the few.
At the same time, the opening of the upward channel will encourage people among the people to actively participate in the country instead of thinking about leaving other countries."
Yan Dan thought for a moment and felt that this new system could greatly improve the situation of Yan State. He was very happy and said, "Haha, sir, this should be a word. It is used both civil and military. What is the meaning of the word "military"?
"The people of the north are fierce and aggressive. Qin conquered the State of Zhao, and Lu Yan, in order to forbid private fighting, severely tortured and killed thousands of people in Handan. Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao had many generous and tragic people, and the private fighting style of the Yan State was
, compared with Zhao State, there are no more concessions.
Since we cannot strictly prohibit it like the Qin State, we should focus on guiding it. On the one hand, we promote the concept that private fights are cowardly and public fights are glorious; on the other hand, we can learn from the Chu State and hold grand gatherings such as the Sword Discussion Conference to use the country's
Name, draw up the order of the world, and recruit the masters among them. In this way, you can achieve multiple things with one stone."
"The Sword Discussion Conference...this is a very good move."
Yan Dan thought that the Fengbeard family had regained its reputation in the world this time, and that a sword score ranking could easily capture the masters of the Eastern world, and he couldn't help but feel optimistic about this suggestion. If this combination of punches continues, the country of Yan will definitely be much more stable and peaceful than before.
.
"Sure enough, God has given me a gentleman to me. With Mr. Yan as my prime minister, prosperity is just around the corner."
Chen Xiao was not happy because of Yan Dan's praise. Instead, he promptly poured cold water on Yan Dan. "The above are just the most superficial changes. They can only clean up the country and get rid of the current superficial ills. When it comes to national development, Yan Dan
The country is located in the extreme east of the Arctic, and the vast western land has fallen to the Qin State. Grain production fundamentally restricts the development of national power."
"This..." Yan Dan was so cold that she felt so cold that she was speechless for a moment.
"Since sir, you mentioned it, do you have any countermeasures?"
"The king can use the convenience of the Mo family to proactively contact the King of Chu and seek help from the farmers of Chu State,"
Yes! The Mohist family!
Yan Dan felt very excited.
Qi Mo and Chu Mo defected to the Qin State, leaving all non-attack and love affairs to the ancestors, and directly expelled the Mo family. The Yan Mo in his hands is the only Mohist orthodoxy. Moreover, the most important mechanism skills of the Moh family are on his side.
, this matter has great potential.
Among the three eastern kingdoms, Yan State is the weakest and naturally has less say in the alliance. But the existence of Master Ban, who created the Qilin mechanism to deal with the Hundred War God's Crossbow, immediately gave Yan State the confidence to talk on an equal footing.
On the first day that Chen Xiao entered Yan State, he chatted with Yan Dan for a long time in the post house. Yan Dan still felt that she couldn't have enough fun, so she invited Chen Xiao to Prince Yan's Mansion and talked all night long.
All this made Hallyu, Jiu Sheng and the others completely dumbfounded.
…
Chen Xiao's so-called reforms cannot be considered drastic, and they are incomparable to Shang Yang's reforms.
He also has many concerns, such as the opening of talent promotion channels. Although it is open, it is basically still controlled by the nobles. However, if the central government is strong, it means that the central government can overpower those nobles and have the power to select talents.
If you really go all out and implement a complete military merit system like the Qin State, the Yan State itself cannot afford it. At the same time, the two allies will not allow you to make such a change.
In this way, Chen Xiao, the master of Zhanlu, the world-famous sword of benevolence, accepted the personal invitation of King Dan of Yan to serve as the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom and began to govern the Yan Kingdom.
Since King Yan of Zhao sent Pang Nuan and Lecheng to attack Yan, the Yan State, which was almost defeated, finally opened a new page.
When Yan Dan was actively seeking change and the entire Yan Kingdom was prosperous, another organization with a long history in Yunmeng Daze in the south re-emerged because of Lu Yan's death in the world.
Iron is faith, blood is righteousness.
The iron-blooded formation, life and death, is unstoppable.
