Li Qing is not surprised by this. The current cabinet is like a younger brother, and is not worthy of holding the shoes of the Six Ministries.
How can an official of the fifth rank compete with an official of the second rank?
After Lao Zhu abolished the prime minister system, the power of the six ministries increased greatly. However, due to Lao Zhu's authority, he kept silent.
But during the Jianwen dynasty, the six tribes immediately made full use of their power and took the opportunity to rise.
A large part of the reason why Zhu Di established the cabinet was to weaken the power of the six ministries.
The officials of the six ministries also understood, but at that time, Zhu Di had just succeeded in pacifying the crisis, and it was the time when he was sharpening his sword. At the same time, he held military power. It would be good for them to survive and retain their official positions. How could they dare to object.
Now they finally got rid of Zhu Di and replaced him with an honest man as the emperor. Unexpectedly, before they could launch an attack, the honest man took action first. Can this be tolerated?
Although Li Qing didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how angry those people were.
"You want me to help the cabinet?" Li Qing asked.
"My father said that it is not necessary for the time being." Zhu Zhanji shook his head. "My father said that we should first give the six departments a period of adaptation, and at the same time, let the cabinet fight with them, and wait for both sides to spend a period of time before taking action."
"Well, your father is very thoughtful." Li Qing nodded and glanced sideways at him, "If the cabinet really rises, are you confident in suppressing them?"
"Of course." Zhu Zhanji was confident.
"What to suppress?"
"army!"
Zhu Zhanji has studied with Zhu Di since he was a child, and his words and deeds are the same as Zhu Di's. "I will firmly control the army. If I master the army, I will master everything."
"Well..." Li Qing said thoughtfully, "Your father is different from your grandfather. He is not as suspicious as your grandfather. You can discuss with him and gradually take over the army from now on."
"Ah?" Zhu Zhanji said in surprise, "Is this... too fast?"
Li Qing smiled: "Although there were a lot of troubles when the late emperor was in power, generally speaking, he was able to enforce orders and prohibitions;
Almost all of the national policies he introduced were aimed at cutting the flesh of officials and gentry, but in the end they were implemented. Why is this?"
"Because Grandpa Huang holds military power."
"Yes, but not entirely right." Li Qing said, "The reason why the national policy can be implemented smoothly is because your grandfather and your father, one is a bad person and the other is a good person;
Your grandfather's cruelty forced those people to bow their heads, while your father's kindness gave those people hope. This was the main reason for Yongle's prosperity;
To put it bluntly, in the Yongle Dynasty, your father was the ultimate pie that your grandfather drew for the ministers, do you understand?"
Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded. He savored it carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized that this was really the case. He couldn't help but marveled:
"Grandpa's cake-making skills are really... high, really good!"
Li Qingshen took it for granted, whether he should say it or not, the people in Lao Zhu's family are all masters of pie painting, even the honest little fat man can draw it.
Brackets: Except for Jianwen!
"It turns out that this model works very well, you just need to continue it." Li Qing said with a smile, "You can take over the role of your grandfather as soon as possible and continue to play the bad guy, so that the play can be completed well."
Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I will talk to my father later."
After a pause, he said with a flattering smile: "Uncle Qing, can you teach me?"
"Teach what?"
"Paper painting!" Zhu Zhanji said seriously, "Now I feel more and more the importance of painting pancakes. It is simply the best choice to control the ministers."
Li Qing suppressed laughter: "Painting is easy to use, but you can't use the same method;
For example, at the time of Taizu, all he had to do was promise the people below him to have enough to eat, which would be a huge pie. However, this was no longer possible under your grandfather's time. He went a step further and allowed them to eat meat;
The pie is not static and must be changed in real time according to the situation. The pie made by Taizu at that time does not apply to your grandfather. In the same way, the pie made by your grandfather does not apply to you."
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji was a little disappointed, "Is there any trick?"
"There are no tricks, but there are some tips from experience." Li Qing said, "For example, round cakes."
"Round cake?" Zhu Zhanji learned a new term, "Expand it and tell me."
Li Qing put down the fishing rod and stopped fishing. "The principle is very simple. It is to fill the circle of the pie. Let's take fighting as an example. We promise that the soldiers will be rewarded if they win the battle. Then after the battle, rewards will be given.
This is the round cake;
The purpose of making round cakes is to make cakes for the next time;
Therefore, before drawing a cake, you must first consider whether it can be rounded!"
Zhu Zhanji retorted: "But if it's all round, wouldn't it be called a painted cake?"
"No." Li Qing smiled and shook his head, "For example, if there is a reward for every weight, how much counts as weight?
There is no standard answer!
There is a lot of room for transfer, and with a little bit of manipulation, you can make a small pie out of a big one;
The key point here is: fully consider the psychological gap of the cake eaters, remember it, and take the test in the future."
Zhu Zhanji nodded nervously, "Uncle Qing, can you give me an example of how to make a big pie at a small cost?"
"It's very simple." Li Qing smiled and said, "For example, I put up a notice: Yongqing Marquis Mansion is looking for a number of servants. The monthly salary is five guan. If you do well, you will get 8 guan. But whether you do well or not is not up to me.
Something about?"
"Oh, I understand." Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Uncle Qing, you have a really dark heart."
"That's just a metaphor," Li Qing said angrily, "This is just a low-level stage."
"What about the advanced stage?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
Li Qing glanced at him sideways: "Just a prostitute for free?"
"Fifty taels of gold!"
"This is the experience I have accumulated over decades, and it took countless efforts to get it." Li Qing said lightly: "You have to pay more."
"..." Zhu Zhanji said angrily, "One hundred taels!"
Li Qing nodded: "Are you eager to hear it now?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhu Zhanji urged, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
"See? This is called painting cakes!" Li Qing said with a smile, "I will first say that I can give you what you want. As a condition, you give me money, and then I will teach you how to paint cakes.
This set will be the standard template for painting cakes."
Zhu Zhanji was thoughtful, and after a moment, he urged: "Hurry up and round the cake."
Li Qing cleared his throat and said: "Remember it, here are the key points of the entire article!"
"Say it." Zhu Zhanji cheered up.
“If you want to draw a pie, you must first think about the round pie, unless you want to make a one-time deal;
Everything must be done carefully, and the same applies to pie painting. So how do you make a small pie round a big pie?" Li Qing asked and answered, "It's very simple, compromise."
"As an example,
It’s the same servants who, after receiving their wages, feel that they have done a good job, but they do not receive high wages, so they feel dissatisfied;
At this time, I suddenly said that my salary is not enough. In order to maintain life, my wages have to be reduced to three guan notes. What will they do?"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up: "They will definitely not agree and will insist on five-guan notes."
"Yes."
Li Qing pinched an iced grape and threw it into his mouth. He smiled and said, "This is the cake for the advanced stage. There is also the ultimate stage. Do you want to listen?"
"want."
"So..." Li Qing drawled a long tone.
Zhu Zhanji: “I’ll add more money.”
"Look, this is the quality that a master of cake painting needs to possess, making you want to eat another after eating one." Li Qing said, "This is a gift, so remember it. Painting cakes must adhere to the concept of sustainable development."
Zhu Zhanji was sincerely convinced: "Uncle Qing, you are really a god."
"Don't come here, even if you flatter me, you won't be discounted."
"...I will give you another two hundred taels, please tell me the ultimate secret!" Zhu Zhanji scratched his heart.
Li Qing smiled and said: "I gave this ultimate move a name - Involution!"
"Involution?" Zhu Zhanji heard another new term and said nonchalantly: "What does this mean?"
"Take the above example as an example. I want to double the size of this pond. As for me, I don't want to spend a lot of money. I only want to spend a hundred coins. What do you think those servants will do?"
"Double the size..." Zhu Zhanji glanced at the pond, "For such a big project, the labor cost must at least double, and they will definitely not do it."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Then I want to say, this project only requires two people?
Although I am a little tired, whoever takes over will earn fifty guan, do you think they are willing?"
"Ah? This..." Zhu Zhanji thought briefly and came to the conclusion: "Definitely."
"This is called involution." Li Qinggao smiled deeply, "Have you learned it?"
Zhu Zhanji almost fell to the ground, "Uncle Qing, you are really..."
It’s really…so bad.”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm complimenting you." Zhu Zhanji exclaimed, "No wonder you are so hated by others, but you still haven't been killed. You are really... really awesome!"
He thinks that his rank is not low, but compared with Li Qing, he is simply a scumbag.
He murmured: "It's money well spent! It's really worth it, it's so worth it."
Li Qing glanced at him and said to himself: Did you see it? For high-end pancakes, people who eat them often say it's a good deal.
