Retro restructuring?

What exactly is Chen Kai talking about? The more he talks about it, the more confused everyone here is. / Pineapple ∧ ∧ ∧ ／ Say

Here, Guo Zhiqi's brother sat in the first row. This was a good position he specially chose to play against Chen Kai at a critical moment. But the problem now is that he could not understand what Chen Kai said at all. Since he couldn't even understand, let alone find a reason to refute.

So, the visitor from the Guo family had to continue sitting there, staring his eyes wide as others, trying to figure out Chen Kai's ideas as soon as possible so that he could find a gap to start. At this time, after Chen Kai on the stage said that, he looked at the people below the stage with only firm beliefs, and nothing else.

"Most of the lords here have read books of sages, and even if they have not read books of sages, they should have heard some stories." After saying that, Chen Kai raised his head, looked away from the crowd, and stared at the light blue sky, as if he was trapped in memories.

"I remember when I was young, my elders told me that during the three generations, the king was wise, the way of speaking was unhindered, the officials were honest, the people lived and worked in peace, and there was no hunger or poverty. Even if they were promoted to fight, they could write and complain about Huabiao and listen to heaven, so there was no unjust prison in the world, and there was no law of injustice..."

The rule of the Three Dynasties is the ideal state of Confucian rule, which is the so-called harmony in the world. Since the reverence of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has long become the most dominant theory on the land of China for more than 1,700 years, and is even called Confucianism by Westerners. This shows that it is obvious. Just as Chen Kai said, most of the people here have read the books of sages and have different degrees of understanding of Confucianism. Even those who have not read Confucian classics survive in this Confucian society and can become more energetic figures in the local area. Naturally, they are well aware of the survival rules of this Confucian society.

Confucianism generally seems to be like this. Its political proposition is to describe Yao and Shun, to the ancestors, to the civil and military, to govern benevolence and politics, to reply to the Zhou rituals, to the well fields, to promote the country, to continue to the peerless, to completely return to the ritual society of the Zhou Dynasty; its social structure proposition is to rule the king, minister, minister, father, son, and filial piety and kindness, to completely return to the strict ritual society; its concept of dealing with the world is loyalty and forgiveness, to the doctrine of the mean, to be loyal and trustworthy, to completely return to the gentle and honest interpersonal relationship of the ritual society; and its proposition of division of labor of the social class can be summarized as: those who work hard to govern people, and those who work hard to govern people; the people can be used to govern them, but not to know them; only the wisdom of the superiors and foolishness of the inferiors, etc., to completely maintain the composition basis of the ritual society; as for its educational proposition, it is to teach people without distinction, the six arts teach people, starting with poetry and books, and to return to the royal education of the above ancient classics as their destination.

Confucius' thoughts were a comprehensive retro of the Zhou Dynasty's ritual society. This was not a brave effort under the reality of the collapse of rituals and music at that time, but it could not be popular at that time, and it was contrary to the general environment at that time. On the contrary, in later generations, with the continuous improvement of the people in the Confucianism inherited, they were in line with the environment in which they lived, so that they could be accepted and followed by the ruling class and the ruling class.

Regarding reform, Confucianism has always emphasized that one must be called the Three Dynasties. This has actually started since the time of Confucius and Mencius, and the reformers of Confucianism in later generations were all like this. At this time, Chen Kai bluntly stated that the reform of the retro, and then raised the rule of the Three Dynasties, which directly entered the template of reform of the ancient times that Confucian scholars were familiar with. The only problem was that Chen Kai wanted to use the rule of the Three Dynasties to do, which was the key.

In the audience, Guo Zhiqi's clan's hands were getting wet. He did not expect Chen Kai to show his core point so quickly, because the earlier these things were exposed and clearer, the easier it would be to be refuted by others. He believed that with Chen Kai's wisdom, he would definitely not know that there would be fewer potential opponents among these invited people. Not even talking about this, just talking about a point of view, if someone benefits, someone will definitely suffer, and of course the losses would not be willing to become Chen Kai's stepping stone.

Hiding in the crowd like a poisonous snake, Guo Zhiqi's clan brother stared at Chen Kai, and he couldn't even take care of his breath. However, when Chen Kai said the words behind him, he was stunned and didn't say a single word for a while.

"In my opinion, the grand occasion of the rule of the Three Dynasties lies in the wise ruler and the wise ministers, but the most important thing is that there is no obstacle in speaking. Only ordinary people can also complain about the opinions of their subjects. The monarch dares not ignore the opinions of his subjects, and those corrupt officials cannot continue to use the old tricks of deceiveing ​​the superiors and concealing the subordinates. The old system of the Emperor Ming Dynasty used the humble officials who first entered the officialdom to speak out, and they used their first-class cottages. But the problem is that there are factions in the officialdom, and there are many people with high power to buy them, intimidating the sermons to block the sermons. For example, Zhou Yanru, in the 16th year of Chongzhen, falsely spread good news, that is."

"However, during the three generations, China was narrow and the people were poor. Three generations of saints could understand the people's sentiments in half a day, and thus carry out targeted governance. But now, the imperial Ming area is tens of thousands of miles, with a population of less than 70 million. Even though the Tartars entered the pass in recent years, the population losses were huge, but it was not only the emperor who could clarify the affairs of the world alone, and even the matters of the capital could not be fully understood."

The emperor was deceived by ministers, and there were countless similar things. Chen Kai pointed out the drawbacks of the old system and pointed out the drawbacks of the three generations of laws that did not conform to the current situation. He immediately directly put forward his claim: "If the way of speaking is blocked, the lord will not know the subordinates, the people will not know the king's intentions, and the upper and lower levels will not communicate with each other. Then the lord will be deceived by the treacherous and slandered, and the people will gather themselves to protect themselves. Therefore, the official believes that the people should elect the virtuous and capable people trust from the people and speak out on their behalf, and the virtuous and capable people elected are not as strong as the old censors, as they still need to be promoted and promoted by the powerful ministers. Their status is influenced by the people's senses. They should speak out in a straightforward manner and live up to the people's entrusted."

Chen Kai said a lot, but in the final analysis, it still lies in the word "representation". In fact, he himself could not fully agree with what Chen Kai said. For example, electing talents to ensure smooth speech is a fallacy. This is a fallacy. The literati of the Ming Dynasty did not do less than officials in the local area than officials. However, at this moment, he not only spoke clearly, but his deep belief on his face made the venue silent and could be heard.

Guo Zhiqi's clan brother looked at Chen Kai in amazement, just like others. Speaking of which, Chen Kai's proposition is not without loopholes, and there are even many points to refute. However, at this moment, he just opened his mouth and stared at Chen Kai with his eyes, as if he was stunned by the remarks and opinions just now, but he himself knew how clear his brain was at this moment. Every time he weighed the pros and cons clearly, he was even more shocked by how much Chen Kai's proposition was, which made people say nothing about it!

At this moment, Chen Kai stood on the stage and did not notice that Guo Zhiqi's clan brother. From the beginning, he saw only the components of the people he invited this time - gentry, merchants and local tyrants. These people are all people with big or small influence in the local area. Under normal circumstances, once the representative system appears, these people will inevitably become "virtuous" who speak out on behalf of the people. The interests are clearly placed in front of them. As long as you nod, the family's prosperity in the next hundred years can be directly established.

Everyone here knew very well that if this matter could be accomplished, they would definitely be the one who benefited. Even if it failed, under the practice of not ruling the public, the risks they needed to bear were negligible. Chen Kai was the only one who really needed to bear high risks. Therefore, when some people who were active in thinking about this, they immediately asked Chen Kai about the exchange conditions they needed to understand.

"I dare to ask Chen Fujun, how should this generation of people speak out? "

What I asked was how to exercise power. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see what the gentry who spoke was asking. In response, Chen Kai smiled slightly, and then said bluntly to the man: "I think that the system is effective, and it should be a test. Therefore, I plan to form a provincial advisory bureau in Guangdong, and all of you here will select a group of virtuous people to serve as members of the advisory bureau. The work of the parliamentarian is to speak out on behalf of the people and to make up for the vacancy for the official. The period is about one year. If the system is effective, then establish an advisory bureau at the government level... until the system is ensured to be effective, and then report it to the emperor."

Chen Kai said it very clearly, and did not clearly point out what Chen Kai would get in it. However, all those present were discerning people. Chen Kai decided to test the results in Guangdong, and then expand and report it. The purpose of reporting would be to expand to other prefectures and counties, and even the center. As proposers and advocates, Chen Kai will inevitably stand in a dominant position. And they can only obtain real benefits if they violate Chen Kai's core purpose.

Such transactions are of course fair. Only fair transactions, or even transactions that allow Chen Kai to obtain greater benefits, can they be assured that Chen Kai is really willing to delegate power to them. In the officialdom and business markets, the exchange of interests is often like this. Only when they enter the scope that can make them understand can they have more hope of reaching this transaction.

In the venue, heavy breathing came one after another, and Chen Kai sat directly on the only Grand Master chair on the stage, looking down at the sentient beings below the stage. He believed that everyone present understood that the so-called democratic election was actually just a cover. What Chen Kai really wanted was the support of powerful local people, so as to better gather the power of the grassroots for his use.

After returning from Fuzhou, Chen Kai thought it very clearly that his administrative power over Guangdong and Nangan areas came from the Yongli court and the Zheng group, and was the legitimacy of authority given to him by the governor of Guangdong and the general system of Guangdong. In terms of military power, it basically came from the Zheng group. Now, there is a certain degree of gap between him and Zheng Chenggong, which is due to the emergence of the gap between him and Zheng Chenggong, and it is also the Zheng group inheritance war that will eventually break out in the future. For a long time, he has always kept a distance from the Yongli court, whether it is the court to him or him to the court.

In this way, his administrative power and military power have become floating on the water, which is not stable at all. Once there is a turmoil, there will inevitably be a risk of overturning. Signs have appeared in Nangan. The recent reports of the Nangan Tiandihui are very unoptimistic. Their influence in local administration and military affairs continues to decline, which has caused unnecessary setbacks in the war to recapture the Nangan War and deserve greater influence.

As for this internal environment, Hong Chengchou obviously had seen something, so he vigorously disbanded the Mutual Aid Association and wanted to remove all the vines that extended Chen Kai to Jiangxi.

If you want to turn the tables in internal and external troubles, if it is Zheng Chenggong or Li Dingguo, you should naturally continue to launch an offensive against the Qing army controlled area. As long as the control area is expanded and the strength is enhanced, the space for the operation of the vassal states will be expanded, and many problems can be solved. But for Chen Kai, this is obviously not possible.

The reason why it doesn't work is that the war has just ended, especially when I was carrying the burden of people's livelihood recovery in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, so it is absolutely impossible to launch a new round of offensive soon in terms of military rations and pay. Moreover, Chen Kai is a civil servant, and civil servants have their own survival rules. Faced with such a situation, political struggle is the most direct way.

However, Chen Kai once heard a saying that politicians are playing with power, and politicians are creating power. He does not think he is a politician, nor does he think he is a politician himself, but compared to the political struggles he is not good at, creating a new source of power and overturning the entire chessboard, this is obviously more in line with his style!

"It's a bit too early to start like this. Originally, I planned to cultivate a certain strength of the industrial and commercial class through the Guangdong-Sea Commercial Alliance, and at the same time use the world to win over gentry and local tyrants. With this leg walking and taking out this representative system can ensure that I will be ahead of other possible competitors. But in the current situation, if I can't change as soon as possible, there is probably no such opportunity again."

I thought so in my heart, but Chen Kai knew very well that when he first decided to build the Tiandihui and the Guangdong-Sea Commercial Alliance, his idea was more about the anti-Qing Dynasty.

In the crisis in the late Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, there are actually two political directions that can solve the problem - either strengthen centralization and gather strength to crush the Qing Dynasty; or decentralize power from the local governments and transfer rights to the grassroots developed by the Ming Dynasty, thereby strengthening the cohesion of the country, thereby realizing the transition from an authoritarian official rule to a public gentry rule. In modern history, examples of gentry rule over a state of governing officials and governing the country and barbarians are everywhere, and this is the superiority of the system.

Chen Kai vaguely remembers that the period of the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the era when the British Parliament overturned the royal power. The bourgeois parliament composed of new-style nobles and merchants defeated the royal power and the old-style feudal aristocracy. The former achieved primitive accumulation through maritime trade and gradually gained the power to confront the royal power.

Now, it is obviously a bit too early. The original accumulation has just begun. Will this behavior of forcing the growth of seedlings have adverse effects, especially for him, Chen Kai believes that it is certain. However, now it is not just a simple confrontation with the royal power. Class conflicts can give way to ethnic conflicts. So, taking the chestnut from the fire, Chen Kai believes that this is the last chance.

He had already spoken, so it was impossible to take it back. Sitting here, looking at the confused people present, Chen Kai was much more empty. At this time, he saw him rise up and announced the meeting to everyone, saying that this was just a recess, not a complete end. Chen Kai was willing to give them three days to consider. Three days later, he was still here, following the methods of the Guangdong-Sea Commercial Alliance, he voted to decide whether to establish a consulting bureau and the first batch of provincial parliamentarians.

In front of everyone, Chen Kai walked off the battlefield and walked towards the carriage with steady steps. After a long time, the participants who had recovered from this shock left here in groups of three or five, and then returned to the city to discuss.

Guo Zhiqi's clan brother walked out of the military camp absent-mindedly. Outside the gate, his cousin had been waiting for a long time and asked. He only heard that Chen Kai's proposal had many loopholes, so he asked him: "I guess, my brother has already refuted Chen Kai to the point of being completely decent."

Chen Kai left first, which was seen by my cousin. After asking this, he was not sure. After all, Chen Kai was a famous scholar, and even his second brother Guo Zhiqi was very scratching his head. He was definitely not so easily defeated.

As expected, when my cousin asked, Guo Zhiqi's clan brother raised his head and said something inappropriate, which really surprised him.

"Chen Kai is indeed talking nonsense, but his nonsense has convinced me. I think we should persuade my second brother to change his mind as soon as possible, otherwise we are afraid that our Guo family will be chewed by Chen Kai in the future and nothing will be left."
