The first year of Jianlong, on the first day of August.

In the hammer hall, Guo Hao sat on the dragon throne, looking at the civil and military officials below, waiting for the officials to report the matter.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Zhaoyi, Li Yun, has been in charge of Luzhou for eight years. He relies on his courage and will recruit despairs. I have recently received a secret report that Li Yun colluded with the Khitan and intends to rebel!"

After Zhao Kuangyin reported, Guo Hao secretly recalled that there were indeed two rebellions after Lao Zhao ascended the throne in history, which was known in history as the "Two Li Rebellion".

One of them was Li Chongjin, who had already been under house arrest when Guo Hao recovered Yan Yun. The other Li Yun thought that without the Northern Han Dynasty, Guo Hao was considered a popular destination and would not rebel.

Unexpectedly, Li Yun seemed to be unable to forget Guo Wei, but actually showed his rebellious intentions, obviously not taking Guo Hao seriously.

"I heard that Li Yun had a son named Li Shoujie, who was as famous as his man. He was a talented person. I could give him the imperial city envoy. I hope Li Yun could put away his rebellion."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin knew that Guo Hao did not want to make a big move. If he could resolve the conflict without bloodshed, it would be a good thing.

"Your Majesty is wise."

After Zhao Kuangyin retreated, the Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, on the first day of the eighth month, you should send a meal to the Zhou Temple."

Guo Hao nodded after hearing this: "Let Guo Yan do this."

Guo Yan, Guanglu Shaoqing, was mainly responsible for sacrifices and was an official of the Ministry of Rites. He was not famous in history, but Guo Hao must remember it.

"Abide by the order."

Guo Qi should have an errand, and then Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the river has been drought for a month. If it doesn't rain again, it may affect the crop harvest."

When Guo Hao heard about the drought, he immediately became serious. The natural disasters in ancient times were very serious. If they were not handled properly, not only would many people starve to death, but also prone to uprisings.

"It doesn't rain, this is a problem..."

Guo Hao couldn't help but think of how to deal with droughts in his later years. The most common one is artificial rainfall, but it's not possible to achieve it now.

The other is the South-to-North Water Diversion, which is a major project, and with the current level of technology, it is even more impossible to achieve.

Guo Hao was not a real ancient man. He didn't believe in feudal superstitions and knew that sacrifices and prayers were useless, so he thought about it.

"In this way, count the areas with frequent drought conditions, dig reservoirs in the local area, and at the same time, river blocking and dams are cast in various rural areas for watering during drought.

At the same time, we look for people who understand hydrology and geography, explore the groundwater, and the government came out to dig wells and lure groundwater to irrigate the fields."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, someone immediately recorded it. The officials couldn't help but nodded. Such a practical method is much better than any prayer.

The officials said almost everything, and it was Guo Hao's turn to speak. Guo Hao looked at the three prime ministers and suddenly spoke: "The way of the great way is, the world is the public. Do you think, what is the world a public?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals pretended that they had not heard them, but the civil servants had to think.

This sentence comes from "Book of Rites: Liyun". The original meaning is that the world belongs to the public, and the position of the emperor is passed on to the wise but not to the son, which later becomes a correct social and political ideal.

Guo Hao suddenly said this, obviously not saying that he wanted to abdicate and give way to the wise. After all, he was just the emperor, so he must have a deep meaning.

"Your Majesty, when Zhongni was with Yuhuan, after the work was done, he went out to visit the temple and sighed. Zhongni's sigh was probably the same as Lu.

Yan Yan said to the side, "Why do gentleman sigh?"

Confucius said: "The great way is to follow the heroes of the three generations, and Qiu Wei was determined to have ambitions.

When the great way is to follow, the world is the public, select the virtuous and capable, and be faithful and harmonious.

Therefore, friends do not only have relatives, but also have children, so that the elderly can have something to live, the strong can have something to use, the young can have something to be good, the young can have something to be good, the young can have something to be good, the young can have something to be good, the lonely, the lonely, and the disabled can all have something to be raised, the men can have something to be divided, and the women can have their return.

If you hate goods and abandon them on the ground, you don’t have to hide them on yourself; if you hate forces and do not come from your body, you don’t have to do them for yourself.

Therefore, if you plan to stay but do not prosper, you will steal and thieves without doing anything, and if you do not stay outside, you will not stay.

This is called Datong.”

There are still talented people in the court, so Wang Pu immediately said the original text. In fact, there are many ideals for governing the world in the original text.

Guo Hao nodded and continued: "Now that the great way is hidden, the world is the family, each with his relatives, each with his son, his goods, and his strength is for himself.

In the world, people think it is ritual, and cities, ditches and pools are solid. Etiquette and righteousness are used as rules, to correct the king and minister, to strengthen father and son, to be harmonious with brothers, to establish systems, to establish fields, to be virtuous and brave, to know for themselves.

Therefore, the plan was used, and the army started from this. Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Cheng Wang, and Zhou Gong were selected from this.

There are no six gentlemen who are not careful in etiquette. They use their meaning to examine their faith, to have mistakes, to punish and benevolence, to show the people that they are consistent.

If anyone does not follow this, those who are in the turmoil will be disastrous and the public will think it will be a disaster. This is called a well-off society.”

The word "well-off" must be familiar to people in later generations. In fact, it is not just modern times, but the ancients actually yearn for a well-off life.

Guo Hao said so much, of course, it is not a test of the academic knowledge of the ministers. The world is a guide, a slogan, and a beginning.

Seeing that the minister below was still thinking, Guo Hao signaled the eunuch to bring a scroll. When he opened it, he saw that it was the four big words "The world is for the public".

Guo Hao stood up from the dragon chaise, walked to the bottom of the steps, passed by the minister, and observed their expressions up close.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been thinking about why I became this emperor. I have thought about it for a long time and finally got the answer."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao had already walked to the entrance of the hall, looking at the sun in the sky, closing his eyes and bathing in the sun.

The ministers all looked at him, and after a while, Guo Hao turned around and said loudly: "Set up your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!"

When the four sentences were spoken, they were like Huang Zhong Da Lu, which was deafening and the knowledgeable people were shocked, because they heard how great and noble the meaning of these four sentences were.

After Guo Hao finished speaking, he walked back to the dragon throne and said as he walked: "It has been a thousand years since Emperor Shiniang annihilated the six kingdoms and unified the world.

The world's general trend will be divided after a long time of unity, and long time of division will be unified. Qin will have rebellions of the seven kingdoms, Han will have disputes between Chu and Han, the three kingdoms will fight hegemony to the north and south, and the Five Barbarians will invade the unity of China and Sui.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heroes began to rise, the Tang Dynasty was 290 years, the Five Dynasties changed, and the ten countries were divided. Although the Song Dynasty is now the main Chinese, its territory is less than one-third of that of the Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao looked at the generals. The generals were a little excited, thinking that Guo Hao was about to start unifying the world, and they all cheered up.

"The demise of a dynasty often arises from civil strife, and the root cause of civil strife is actually human beings. People are not sages, so no one can do anything wrong, even if it is me, it is not perfect."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao had already sat on the dragon throne again. The ministers were thinking about it and waiting for Guo Hao's following.

Hearing that no one was talking to me, Guo Hao continued: "I wanted to establish a cabinet before, but I really wanted to find someone to give me some advice, but this seems to be a waste.

Therefore, I decided to abolish the three provinces, unify them into the cabinet, expand six departments, and extend the root system to the local area.

Six departments are established in the prefectures and counties, and the central government will manage them. The chiefs of the prefectures and counties will coordinate the overall situation and will not directly interfere with the operation of the six departments.

Some things should be handed over to professionals. As the saying goes, if a county magistrate has too much power and random command on certain things will not only be unfavorable to the development of things, but will be counterproductive.

You may not understand what I said, but I have written down the details, so you can take a closer look.”

As he said that, Guo Hao asked someone to send the new physique he had copied in advance. Each minister had a copy, and the court was silent, with only the sound of looking through the paper.

After a long time, Wei Renpu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, although this method is good, it is not in accordance with etiquette. Moreover, such reforms will inevitably increase many officials, which will increase the burden on the court!"

After Wei Renpu said that, Fan Zhi nodded, and the other civil officials looked at Guo Hao, but no one said anything about the military generals.

"Although it will increase the burden, it is necessary. I do this for real fairness. Only professionals can do professional things!"

"But where did we go to find so many people for a while!"

Wang Pu asked the key point, but Guo Hao had a plan. He said calmly: "The subject examination is held. This examination must select talents in a targeted manner. As long as the major is matched and the exam is passed, you can arrange for the test."

The three prime ministers looked at each other and understood that Guo Hao had made up his mind. Even if they stopped him, they could not change Guo Hao's decision.

"Then, how do you choose this cabinet member? Please tell me."
