Even Li Qi couldn't help but applaud Bai Qiannuo's words. These words were not his instructions. In fact, he never had a good idea about the electoral system. He could only take it one step at a time.
Because the electoral system will threaten the imperial power, as a minister, you cannot always think about things that threaten the imperial power. If that happens, you will not be far from death.》,ww□w.23≦wx.co◎

Therefore, after Li Qi became an official, he always adopted roundabout methods. Any policy that could endanger the imperial power would be avoided and he would not force it, because he understood that he was in a feudal society.
There was no democratic society in the eleventh century. Capitalism just replaced the emperor with interests, and interests dominated everything.
But Bai Qiannuo's remarks were a good way to avoid the imperial power. From the ninth rank, to the ninth rank, this is the smallest rank. The emperor would not care about an official of the ninth rank. This is for the emperor.
There is no harm in saying anything.
But it has many uses, the most important one is anti-corruption. Yushitai is a kind of positive thinking, which means starting from a high place and specifically targeting first-class officials and prefects in various places.
But from the perspective of the process of corruption, orders always go down one level, because no matter how big an official is, the source of corruption is still in the people. If you block the source, no matter how big the official is, the source of corruption is still in the people.
Nothing can be done.
This is actually a kind of reverse thinking.
For example, if Qin Hui wants money, he will definitely not go to the people to ask for it. Naturally, the people below will help him take care of everything.
People do it. If an electoral system is adopted, people below the county magistrate level are elected by the people, and the people are their parents in officialdom. The people can elect you, and they can also remove you, so of course he will do it.
There are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. It won't be like before. The boss asked me to make money and kill people, and I will listen to you.
At least you won't do anything illegal, and you won't cheat in order to agree with the superior, because if you break the law, the people who will be harmed will definitely be the people. The people are your parents in the official career, so aren't you deliberately trying to make things difficult for yourself?
In addition, in the past, the emperor's favor was only given to those who passed the imperial examination. Those who did not pass the imperial examination could not feel any of the emperor's favor. Instead, they only felt depressed, sad, and cold.
If the emperor used the electoral system as a means of benevolence and as an auxiliary means of scientific examination, then these scholars who did not pass the Jinshi examination would definitely be grateful to the emperor like a spring breeze. The Song Dynasty was another country that used culture to control military affairs.
The country and the aspirations of its scholars are directly related to the imperial power.
Although no one spoke, many ministers nodded slightly, feeling that this method was worth a try. Even if it failed, it would not matter much, because the core system had not changed, and the power was still in the hands of the court, but once it succeeded.
It can help the court solve many problems.
It's just a ninth-grade official. For the emperor, it's really a small favor. At least the emperor won't personally reward anyone to become a ninth-grade official. That would be too low of status, so it's not harmful, but it can win the hearts of scholars all over the world for the emperor.
Zhao Kaisi thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, and first thought about the consequences of the failure of the electoral system. It would not have much impact on him, and it did not affect the system, but there were many benefits. He felt that this deal was a good one, so he said: "Bai Aiqing's
I am convinced that you can give it a try. Well, since this matter originated from Hangzhou, let’s start with the Hangzhou area. If we achieve good results, we will gradually spread it to all states and counties.”
He did not mention the Legislative Yuan, which means that he will directly issue an order on this matter and will not promulgate this policy through the Legislative Yuan, because this can capture the hearts of scholars, but it was the favorite thing of the Song Dynasty emperor.
Nor can we give up all the good things to the Legislative Yuan.
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Although Qin Hui was unhappy, he had nothing to do. He also understood what Zhao Kai was thinking, and in the final analysis, it was only the ninth rank, and it would not hurt the foundation of the officialdom. Whether it was the electoral system or the previous system, there had always been problems in the officialdom.
It is not the system that has the final say, power is king, and it is still unclear who will win.
After discussing the matter, Zhao Kai announced his withdrawal from the court.
But Li Qi was called to the imperial study room.
As soon as Li Qi came to the imperial study, Zhao Kai laughed and said: "You are really awesome. To tell you the truth, before you went, I was always worried. I was even secretly making preparations, thinking that there was a high probability of a war.
, but I didn’t expect that you captured Shule without spending a single soldier. This really surprised me. Sit down and tell me about the situation at that time.”
Li Qi sat down and explained the matter to Zhao Kai in detail.
"It turns out there were so many accidents happening inside."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "In this way, it was really very dangerous at that time. Wanyan Zongwang seemed to intend to completely wipe out our army. Fortunately, the Western Karahan Dynasty marched at this critical moment, which saved us from a war.
"
Li Qi sighed: "In fact, Wei Chen also thought that this battle was inevitable at that time, and was preparing to deploy heavy troops to defend the fatal blow of the Jin army. It was Yelu Dashi who came up with this idea for Wei Chen."
Zhao Kai hummed and said with a sad look on his face: "This Yelv Stone is really powerful. I'm afraid that it will defeat the tiger but fatten the jackal."
Li Qidao: "I am also worried about this, but for now, the enemy of this jackal is the tiger, not us. The tiger must be more worried than us."
"You are right." Zhao Kai nodded and said, "But we must not be careless. Do you think Yelu Dashi can make a difference in the Western Regions?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know this either, but I vaguely feel that Yelu Dashi's plan should only have the upper part and the lower part, because I didn't bring it up first, but he took the initiative to bring it up to me. It's a pity that
I couldn't have guessed his whole plan."
Zhao Kai also felt that Yelu Dashi must be hiding something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. He waved his hands and said: "Sooner or later, we will know what his conspiracy is, but we must pay close attention to Yelu Dashi's movements.
.”
Li Qidao: "On this point, Wei Chen has already told Wu Jie."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "But this time we still didn't let the Kingdom of Jin succeed. This is victory."
Li Qi said again: "Your Majesty, although we occupied Shule, the Jin Kingdom also made the Gaochang Uighurs and the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty surrender to them without spending a single soldier. The Jin Kingdom has occupied a key position, but with
These two countries, the Jin Kingdom, also have great potential in the Western Regions, but this time we can only be considered equally."
"I also understand this." Zhao Kai said: "Do you think Wanyan Zongwang will end the Western Expedition here, or will he continue it?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this either. Now Wanyan Zongwang is busy helping the Eastern Karahan Dynasty deal with the Western Karahan Khanate. He should not start a war with us for the time being. As for his next move, we can only wait and see.
It has changed."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "No matter what, we still occupied Shule and achieved our goal. In this way, we can prevent any forces from penetrating into Tubo and Hehuang areas. Once we hold Tubo tightly in our hands, we will be in the Western Regions
There is also a lot to be done. Who will win or lose in this war will have to be fought before we know, but at the moment we should hurry up and rectify Tibet. What suggestions do you have for this?"
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Chen believes that the governance of Tubo should be divided into three steps. First, we should consolidate the defense of the Tubo area. An unstable area cannot develop. Secondly, we should popularize education and build colleges. No matter what, we should strengthen the defense of Tubo.
There is still a big difference between Tubo culture and our Song Dynasty culture. The local customs can remain unchanged, and the culture at that time should be consistent. Only when the culture is unified can it be truly unified. Finally, it is to build Tubo into a plateau.
storehouse."
Zhao Kai can understand the first two points. This is the basis. Even if Li Qi doesn't say it, he will do it. However, he is a little confused about this plateau warehouse and asks: "Plateau warehouse? What does this mean?"
"
Li Qi explained: "The geographical environment of Tubo is far inferior to that of Jiangnan, so the Jiangnan approach cannot be applied completely to Tubo. However, one thing remains unchanged. Productivity and manufacturing determine the prosperity of a country, and the same applies to any country."
In this way, once the manufacturing industry develops, this area will definitely become rich. Now the Jiangnan area is relatively wealthy, with a highly concentrated population, high productivity, and a prosperous manufacturing industry. This is also the fundamental reason for Hangzhou's prosperity, but this also causes the land price to be very high.
It is expensive, leading to an increase in commodity prices, but it is much cheaper to build the same workshop in Tubo than in Hangzhou."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "I understand what you said, but you also said that the geographical environment of Tubo is too bad and cannot be compared with Jiangnan. So how to move people to Tubo?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Tubo has a very big advantage, that is, it is close to the Western Regions. This alone can attract many businessmen there. Let's put it this way, if I drop a huge piece of gold in Tubo, the people will still be there.
If you don't swarm in, everyone in the world will benefit. Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that Tubo should be built into an industrial zone and some of the manufacturing industries in Suzhou and Hangzhou be moved to Tubo. This part of the manufacturing industry is specifically targeted at the Western Regions.
Exports, that is to say, what the Western Regions need to buy from the Song Dynasty, then we will put this manufacturing industry in Tubo and build factories there. Compared with such a large area of the Western Regions and countries such as Byzantium, I believe that Tubo will
A seemingly huge place is not that big anymore. Once the manufacturing industry is gone, the manpower will naturally follow, thus solving the productivity problem."
Tubo at this time is no better than Tubo in later generations, because later generations generally use air and sea routes, and land routes are always the best choice at this time. Therefore, Tubo actually has very great value. It is not a wasteland. When developed, compared to later generations, it will cost more.
Much simpler.
Zhao Kai was thoughtful, and after a while, he nodded and said: "That's the only way it can be, but you have to pay attention to one thing. As the saying goes, people who are not of my race have unclear intentions, so we should try to keep some special technologies as private as possible.
Central Plains, don’t leave the country, this is the foundation of our Han people’s foothold.”
He was considered a very enlightened emperor, but he felt that his mind must be different, and what he said was a bit too arbitrary, so he changed it to "Unclear mind," which meant that it was full of uncertainty, and he should retain what should be retained.
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Yes, Wei Chen understands."
