In the side hall of Qiming Palace, Chen Ping, who had finished processing the three hundred and eighty-seven memorials, looked at the "good strategies" given by Lin Ze and wondered what was going on in his mind.
After a long time, Chen Ping stood up suddenly, walked to the main hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Lin Ze, who was deducing the generation and changes of luck through Xiao Jin, glanced at Chen Ping, who was looking forward to the next step, and ordered the attendant outside the palace: "Come here, show the Prime Minister his seat."
"If you have anything to say, sit down and say it slowly."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ping, who was originally full of momentum, couldn't help but hesitate, bowed and said: "I thank your Majesty for the seat."
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile when he looked at Chen Ping, who was sitting neatly on the chair and his mood was gradually calming down.
Lin Ze didn't even have to think about the purpose of Chen Ping's visit. It must have been for the previous strategies.
These strategies are related to how much luck Lin Ze can harvest. As Chen Ping, as the executor, Lin Ze naturally hopes that he can remain calm and rational enough.
After a while, when Chen Ping calmed down completely, Lin Zefang asked: "What is the purpose of the Prime Minister's visit?"
Chen Ping cupped his hands and said, "As the saying goes, running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Although your Majesty's plans are good, they are a bit too hasty. I sincerely ask your Majesty to take time to implement them."
Lin Ze, who was eager to harvest his luck, could not listen and said calmly: "Now that the war has subsided, the imperial court has been established, and the king and his subjects are united, it is a good time to quickly restore people's livelihood."
"Although it was a little too hasty, it was completely within the tolerance of Western Qin. Moreover, the Prime Minister is capable of controlling the direction and progress of the change."
At the end, Lin Ze said in a seductive tone: "As the saying goes, success lies in the present, and benefit lies in the future. Doesn't the Prime Minister want to become a famous prime minister throughout the ages for the world to look up to and admire?"
Chen Ping thought for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little moved. Then he quickly returned to normal and shook his head and said: "Although I want to be famous throughout the ages, I can't abandon my private life for public service. A little reputation is nothing compared to the empire."
Lin Ze asked patiently: "The Prime Minister always said not to rush too much. I want to ask where is it too hasty?"
Chen Ping sighed: "No matter how good the national policy is, it must rely on qualified officials to implement it. May I ask, Your Majesty, does Western Qin have enough officials?"
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "It turns out that the Prime Minister is just worried about the shortage of manpower. Since the world has returned to the Western Qin Dynasty, there is a shortage of manpower and we can recruit talents. Is it possible that among hundreds of millions of people, there are still tens of thousands of officials?"
Chen Ping couldn't help but retorted: "If the newly recruited people have bad morals and low abilities, and undermine the prestige of the court, wouldn't Western Qin be in danger?"
Lin Ze couldn't deny it and said: "The Prime Minister should look at the problem from a different angle. The bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the clamor in the world is all for benefit."
"It is inevitable that the Western Qin Dynasty will establish the empire. If the people of the world can serve as the imperial officials of the Western Qin Dynasty, they will be able to achieve glory and wealth, and even revitalize the family. As long as the Western Qin Dynasty liberalizes the recruitment of talents, capable people will flock to it."
"The Western Qin Dynasty already lacks officials, so it is imperative to recruit talented people. Instead of accidentally recruiting a group of people with bad morals and low abilities, as you said, it is better to carry out the New Deal to screen them."
"First recruit a large number of officials through assessment and send them directly to various places to take office. The capable ones will be promoted and the incompetent ones will be eliminated. This can take as short as a few months or as long as one or two years. By the survival of the fittest, all problems can be solved."
"As for damaging the prestige of the imperial court? I think that as long as the people benefit and the imperial court publicly punishes the offending officials severely, not only will the imperial court's prestige not be damaged, but it will rise to unprecedented heights."
If Lin Ze remembers correctly, Ming Taizu was the most ruthless person who killed corrupt officials. As a result, there was no shortage of people to serve as officials in the early Ming Dynasty, and instead the Hongwu rule came about.
Even after many years, the people are still very grateful to Ming Taizu.
Facing Lin Ze, who was sound and logical, a look of exhaustion appeared on Chen Ping's face: "In this case, it will only be the common people who suffer."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and besides, they are the ones who benefit. They want to get the benefits but don't want to pay the price. How can there be so many good things in the world?"
Chen Ping was suddenly excited and said: "Why does Your Majesty have to rush to complete something in one or two years when you can wait for the world to completely stabilize and spend ten or twenty years to complete it step by step?"
Lin Ze said indifferently: "I can't wait for ten years."
Chen Ping couldn't understand: "Why can't you wait? Your Majesty is in the realm of immortality, and his life span is equal to that of heaven. Ten years is just a blink of an eye."
Lin Ze sneered. If there were no saints stirring up trouble in this world, Chen Ping's words wouldn't be a problem at all.
It's a pity that there is no if.
Although they were severely damaged, the Confucian sage Buddha and the Tongtian Sword Master may come back at any time.
A Taoist sage who has an unclear attitude and doesn't know what he is planning secretly.
Zhuang Zhou, who has just entered the realm of a saint, has not yet come to an end, but may end at any time.
And a certain existence that has never appeared, but is famous.
There are too many variables in this world. Lin Ze, who is in the third realm of Heaven and Human, is not even qualified to be taken seriously by these people, let alone promoted to Saint realm, at least until he regains his destiny.
Why so urgent?
If you are not in a hurry, you may never be in a hurry.
After all, Lin Ze had offended the Confucian saints, Buddhas and others.
Who can guarantee that the Confucian sage Buddha will not take revenge? Who can guarantee that the Taoist sage Zhuang Zhou will be able to protect him, or will protect him?
Lin Ze couldn't put his hope in the generosity and compassion of others, he had to find a way out on his own.
Obviously, enough luck is the way to survive.
Chen Ping didn't understand, and Lin Ze couldn't explain it clearly to him in just a few words.
Seeing that Chen Ping was still unable to convince Lin Ze, he gritted his teeth and said: "May I ask Your Majesty, where is the Emperor Qin who acted too hastily today?"
If an ordinary monarch heard this sentence, he might point at Chen Ping's nose and yell. Emperor Qin not only lost the world, but also fell because of it. Are you not cursing me by saying this?
Lin Ze replied calmly: "Prime Minister is so sure that your knowledge and ability surpass me and Emperor Qin? Prime Minister really thinks that Emperor Qin and I don't know that acting too hastily will bring unpredictable consequences?"
When these two questions were asked, Chen Ping was shocked and froze on the spot, speechless for a long time.
Lin Ze didn't rush him. After all, Chen Ping was the "sharp weapon" he chose to harvest his luck, so he still had some patience.
After a long time, Chen Ping bowed deeply to Lin Ze: "I know what to do."
A simple sentence clearly revealed Chen Ping's determination.
Lin Ze said seriously: "I believe in you and will fully support you. But there is an ugly thing to say beforehand. Since you have to do something, you must do your best. If you have two ends, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship.
"
Lin Ze lightly tapped Chen Ping. The previous words of persuasion proved that Chen Ping was very important. The latter words of tapping told Chen Ping that he was not the only one who could do it.
The combination of kindness and power is an ancient but very effective method of controlling subordinates.
Chen Ping solemnly paid his respects: Your Majesty, please rest assured that since I have agreed, I will definitely go all out, please wait and see."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "If you can do this as soon as possible, I can promise that the Western Qin Dynasty will never be destroyed, and the Chen family will always be a prince, and the wealth will not be lost."
Chen Ping paid his respects again: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, go ahead and prepare. Send out recruitment orders when they need to be sent out. Form a government office when it's time to set it up. If you need supplies, just make a list. I'll ask Qianyuan to cooperate with you."
"I will watch the process, but I will not interfere too much. What I want is the result."
"Wei Chen obeys the order, Wei Chen takes his leave," Chen Ping bowed and slowly retreated.
