(Answer to the previous chapter, Tianya arranged a total of five plots. 1. Killed Su Jianzhong, 2-3. Zhang Hao took the opportunity to shake the traditional class and began to pave the way for himself, while forcing Liu Xinyu to accept changes; 4. Xu Jie’s opposition. 5. The biggest
(Liu Xinyu’s suspicion.)
Xu Jie looked at everyone's "surprised and puzzled" expressions, shrugged helplessly, and said lightly: "What expressions do you have? I understand what you mean, but since I am His Highness's minister now, I must
You must think about His Highness, not yourself!
What, is there a problem?"
Xu Jie asked confidently, but everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said nothing.
No, there is no problem at all, you did a great job!
Liu Xinyu smiled, very happily. No matter how much moisture there was in his words, the answer itself was enough to make any ruler happy.
Yes, I give you an official job to let you solve problems for me, not anything else. In a system of centralized monarchy, officials must be 100% rulers. This is called 'professional ethics' - at least
It is a professional ethics recognized by the king.
Liu Xinyu thought for a moment and asked softly: "Xu Jie, I remember you said last time that there are three main schools in the East, Confucian scholars, chivalrous men, and counselors, and Legalism belongs to the counselor section.
Can you explain counselors and legalists in detail?"
"This is my honor!" Xu Jie explained slowly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Actually, the explanation is very simple. It can be summarized in one sentence: eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, that's all!
Specifically, Confucian scholars uphold Confucian thoughts, and chivalrous men uphold chivalrous thoughts. They all have their own ideals and goals. In other words, no matter which country they go to, they must realize their ideals.
But counselors are different. Counselors give advice to others, and they must be useful. What we pursue is practical and down-to-earth. Our core is to solve problems for the master.
Legalists are the most pragmatic and organized among counselors. All our plans and starting points must be rooted in the actual situation and put an end to false and empty fantasies.
But Legalists also have a small extravagance: the rule of law. We believe that the rule of law is currently the best proven way to govern a country."
The smile on Liu Xinyu's face became brighter and brighter. "Then tell me, why Zhang Hao's suggestion is harmful to the country?"
"Yes. I believe that Zhang Hao's suggestion is equivalent to completely denying today's aristocratic families, nobles, etc. In fact, most of the country's officials and generals come from families, aristocratic families, sects, etc.
If His Highness rashly implements Zhang Hao's proposal, what will these people think?
Although there are now many families defecting to the enemy, the power supporting the Qixia Kingdom still comes from various families and aristocratic families.
Also, even if the industrial and commercial classes are given power, what will they do?
It is undeniable that they will definitely have a few talents. But to govern a country, what is needed is not one or two talents, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands! The business class has been at the bottom of society for a long time, and they do not have the talent.
Such management skills.”
After hearing this, Liu Xinyu had to nod silently. What Xu Jie said were key points that she had to pay attention to.
But Liu Xinyu is not a person without opinions. She thought for a while and then asked: "Zhang Hao raised such a point of view. He was not purely against aristocratic families. He had a plan to guide aristocratic families and others to transform into industry and commerce.
Rather than completely denying the aristocratic family."
"It is indeed easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. First of all, even if those aristocratic families have transformed into the business class, they are still essentially aristocratic families.
And with the strong accumulation of aristocratic families, once industry and commerce are opened up, they will expand rapidly, squeezing the originally small living space of the industrial and commercial class. I am sure this will definitely happen.
Secondly, a large number of resources and channels are under the control of aristocratic families. Industry and commerce are like rabbits in the giant network, unable to escape!
After comprehensive consideration, I believe that drastic reform is not appropriate at the moment.
But with a little guidance, the industrial and commercial class is indeed a class worth winning over. In the past few days, the minister in charge of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau has come into contact with too many businessmen.
They are eager to rise, have a clear understanding of the current situation, and have certain worries about the country.
Therefore, I am also considering an issue these days. Perhaps we can guide the development of the industrial and commercial class through legislation and military merit.
For example: we can allow the industrial and commercial classes to obtain military merit through donations, and the merit recording method can be recorded in such a way that each donation of materials for two people is counted as one head merit.
In this way, we can calculate titles based on military merit, and gradually allow the industrial and commercial class to have a certain aristocratic foundation; then we can proceed to the next step."
Liu Xinyu was really moved this time. After asking the others for their opinions, she finally slowly leaned back on the chair and said, "You guys go down first, and I'll think about it later."
This matter was too big for Liu Xinyu to be careless.
The negativity, even indifference, and even betrayal shown by aristocratic families and aristocratic sects in recent times has made Liu Xinyu feel chilled. At this moment, Liu Xinyu envied the Kingdom of Jinyang for its approach: to lure wolves into the house and cleanse the country!
The Kingdom of Jinyang took advantage of the Kingdom of Canglan and used the exquisite method of dancing on the tip of a knife to uproot the aristocratic families in the country in one fell swoop.
It's just that the country of Qixia doesn't dare to do this. If it does, the country will be destroyed in minutes!
Although it is said that no eggs are left behind when a nest is overturned, for most aristocratic families, their history is even longer and more deeply rooted than that of the Qixia Kingdom. For them, it is a typical "wild fire will not burn it all, but the spring breeze will blow it."
"Again"! As long as you stand in line at the critical moment, it's enough.
The so-called team means voting with your feet! As long as your hands are free, there is no need to fight. This is the survival rule of a wealthy family. But obviously, this kind of survival rule is a cancer for a country.
However... However, as Xu Jie said, despite all the abominations of these aristocratic families, the current civil and military officials and even the staff of Qixia Kingdom are almost monopolized by the aristocratic families. The other classes of people, even if they are given a chance,
He doesn’t have that ability either!
Liu Xinyu was so angry that her teeth were itching with hatred, and her heart was boiling with anxiety, but she was still powerless!
The resistance to change was beyond imagination. She didn't need to wait for others to object, she could figure it out by herself with a little deduction. And the current Qixia Kingdom really couldn't stand the trouble.
After taking a few long breaths, the heavy pressure made Liu Xinyu feel dizzy. Rubbing her brows, Liu Xinyu suddenly had a brilliant idea:
Anling County in the north has become difficult to defend. The major families and nobles surrendered, ran away, and dispersed. More than 300,000 troops from the Kingdom of Jinyang marched in, and traditional family politics could no longer save Anling County.
What if Zhang Hao is allowed to lead the industrial and commercial class to retake Anling County?
Liu Xinyu's idea spread in her mind like wildfire. Since the business class wants to get a higher position, they must pay a price! There is never anything for nothing in this world!
With this idea, Liu Xinyu immediately sent someone to give it to Zhang Hao.
…………
But it was said that Zhang Hao returned to Zhang's house overnight. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father and Liu Dingshan talking happily. Seeing that Zhang Hao was back, Liu Dingshan immediately called Zhang Hao to come and sit down.
"Boy, your uncle Zhou agreed that time. However, there are requirements. Now you can accept the gift first, but you must reach the Golden Core stage and the Qixia Kingdom is stable before the marriage can be completed.
How’s it going? Do you have any comments?”
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly, Zhou Shuhai is also a shrewd person this week. Yes, until the war is over, who knows whether you, Zhang Hao, are dead or alive~
Zhang Hao does not need to be completely clear about the gift, his father Zhang Shengde and Liu Dingshan are enough. Zhang Hao sat for a while and then left and went to the research base.
In the research base, Huang Mingshan and others are studying a new type of artillery, which is what Zhang Hao calls a mortar.
Although orthodox artillery is powerful, its production is complicated and the cost is too high. The Zhang family's temporary industrial production capacity is really tight. Especially since the steel giant ship will soon be equipped with artillery, according to Zhang Hao's idea, this artillery must not be used.
Less than 20. This is a world of spiritual practice. Without artillery, the place cannot be suppressed.
Also, as the war progresses, the enemy gradually becomes more sophisticated; they will form an upright, roofless defense. This limits many applications of artillery.
After comprehensive consideration, Zhang Hao put forward the suggestion of mortars.
The requirements for the barrel of a mortar are much lower. It can be made of ordinary black iron and does not require rifling.
Of course, based on Dayang Group's current production capacity and certain strength considerations, the gun barrel is made of 60% black iron. As long as the gun barrel is appropriately thickened, the strength is sufficient.
The artillery shells partially borrowed the production technology of previous artillery, so there are also two calibers: 100 mm and 300 mm. However, the mortar shells need to be modified a lot. An ordinary black iron piece is used to add a tail fin to the rear.
The tail tube is filled with propellant and wrapped in thin straw paper.
In addition, because the current propellant is not particularly sensitive, a small flame formation is added to the bottom of the mortar, which can be easily activated. It only takes the sixth level of Qi Refining to master it.
The research base here has been temporarily turned into an arsenal. There are mountains of shell shells made of crude steel. This thing is simple. Just pour molten steel into the mold and quench it. The worse the quality, the better. Later, a layer of lead-tin shell will be added to the surface.
After a little repair, a shell shell appeared.
As for the explosives, they are equipped in a separate place far away from the Zhang family, and there are strict requirements. The explosives and shells must be assembled in a third place.
As the production line matured, the production efficiency of artillery shells continued to increase. However, artillery technology could not keep up. All mortars came into being.
Huang Mingshan gave Zhang Hao a very detailed introduction. The length of the mortar barrel is 1.5 meters. Most of the shells have delay fuses, which ensure that they will basically explode when they fall on the enemy's head.
Because mortars have low technical requirements, relying on the production capacity of the Xuantie Factory, thousands of them can be 'cast' overnight.
Zhang Hao patted the mortar and was very satisfied: "It will surprise the enemy!"
At this moment, the message from Liu Xinyu finally arrived at the Zhang family, and was soon delivered to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was overjoyed after reading it: "This is definitely an opportunity!"
