"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is making fun of the slave again. Fortunately, the slave does not have this ability so he can serve tea and pour water in front of His Highness. He does his best. If he can really grow deer antlers on his head, then he can give it to His Highness every day.
Replenish your figure.”
I think back in those days I didn't scold Fukang, that's why he was so talkative.
"If you have nothing to do, go and clean up the weeds at the door. The slaves in the East Palace are becoming more and more lazy."
Now, Fukang didn't dare to talk anymore.
"Your Highness, this deer antler was found during a search in the Qin Mansion. There are so many treasures hidden in this small Qin Prince's Mansion. There are even more good things than our East Palace."
Zhao Jin suddenly discovered that a single deer antler could severely destroy a large family. It was obvious that the children of the noble family were not worthy of the important task. In this case, a military merit system could be established to encourage the children of the noble family to join the army.
Zhao is experiencing constant internal strife and foreign troubles, and the power of the powerful families cannot be eradicated overnight. Moreover, kings of any dynasty or generation will inevitably rely on these powerful families to gain power. If they follow the trend, they may achieve success, but if they go against the trend, they will perish.
At the imperial court, Zhao Jin proposed this system of military merit.
The ministers had different reactions after hearing this. This touched the interests of the big families and gave some clan rights.
In our dynasty, civil and military officials have their own duties, and the status of civilian officials is higher than that of military officials, and there are more civil servants among the clan's descendants. Coupled with the Yin Feng, half of them are taking the country's salary and not doing anything for the benefit of the people.
In this way, the mobility of social classes is increased, and the children of the clan can still get ahead with military merit.
Jiang Xu was the first person to stand up and support the implementation of this method.
"Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Wei Chen is convinced that this method is feasible. Starting from tomorrow, Wei Chen will take the lead in joining the army."
Zhao Jin has a grand voice and a majestic air.
"good."
Now that the Zhao family has suffered heavy losses, since Zhao Jin has proposed this proposal, it would be in vain for them not to agree.
Now that the Qin family is in ruins, the Wang family is the most powerful in the court.
Fortunately, Wang Li was a man with a long-term vision, and he stood up later.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands the great righteousness, and I am very grateful to you. I have two sons on my knees, and I will send them to join the army tomorrow to protect our Zhao Kingdom."
Subsequently, more and more people agreed with the bill.
Wang Qin wore a feather fan and long sleeves and walked around the palace.
Wang Li scolded him, "Why don't you go back to your room and prepare things for joining the army tomorrow? What do you look like walking around here?"
Wang Qin looked unwilling, "Father, we are from aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. Joining the army was only done by a humble family. Now that I am asked to eat and drink with those people, it is better to kill me."
Wang Li yelled angrily, "You still have the nerve to talk here. If you are not a member of the clan, you are just eating, drinking and having fun. No one is worthy of important positions. How can you let Zhao Jin cover the sky with one hand in the court?"
"Father, Zhao Jin ignored the order of elders and young children, and wasted no time on human ethics to win the position of prince. This is an unjust act. Why are there so many people in the court agreeing with him now?"
"Do you think these people really surrendered to him? I was forced to have no choice. Nowadays, the aristocratic family is in a state of decline. The Han tribe's scholars have made military exploits. If we don't take some measures, the Han tribe will step on our heads."
Already."
Wang Qin nodded, "Actually, Zhao Jin is thinking about weakening the rights of our aristocratic family while also thinking about protecting us from being bullied by the Han clan. It's not too inhumane."
Wang Li thought for a long time and then said, "He is not showing favor to the clan, but ensuring that he can ascend to the throne. He is so thoughtful."
"You should join the army, so that you can practice in the army and save yourself from drinking and having fun here every day and accomplishing nothing."
Children from aristocratic families and children from poor families joined the army together. Originally, there were many conflicts between them, so disputes between them were inevitable.
Zhao Jin didn't pay attention to the children's nonsense. It was just that the Han tribe looked down on Shizu's weak appearance, and Shizu couldn't let go of his body and blend in.
When people are pushed into a hurry, they can do anything.
As a result, power has somewhat returned to the hands of the aristocratic families, and the power between the DPRK and China is balancing.
This method of Zhao Jin was spread by the princes of other countries.
The conflict between the poor family and the aristocratic family did not occur in Zhao State. Other countries also had similar headaches.
However, there was no way to implement this plan. With Duke Qin's lessons learned, the nobles were not so arrogant.
In recent days, Zhao Zhongru has been non-stop and has arrived in the Lingnan area. The people in the Lingnan area have long been miserable, and countless people have died in this flood.
Zhao Zhongru cared about everything and personally checked in, which made him a better official than his parents here.
He had been studying water conservancy for days and finally had a feasible plan, but he was unable to implement it due to the obstruction of local forces.
Being trapped here was miserable, and in the end I had no choice but to write to the court.
On this day, Zhao Zhongru and some officers and soldiers were digging dikes when the prefecture and county magistrate suddenly arrived.
Because Zhao Zhongru was the prince of the vassal state and was sent by the central court, they did not dare to be too arrogant.
Zhao Zhongru had already taken off his court clothes and dug the embankment together with the officers and soldiers wearing coarse cloth.
At this moment, his clothes were full of mud, his hair was messy, and he didn't look like a prince of Zhongzhou at all.
On the other hand, the governors of prefectures and counties were all dressed in fine clothes. They did not even come to the edge of the dam. They only stood on the grass and looked at this place from a distance, for fear of soiling their clothes.
Zhao Zhongru was very angry when he saw this. He waved his hands and cursed, "How can you call yourself an official of your parents? The people are suffering here, but you are eating and drinking there. In fact, you are not worthy of being an official."
official."
The governors of prefectures and counties felt that they had no reputation, so they did not argue with him. What's more, he was sent by the central government. They didn't know what purpose he had here except to repair water conservancy, and they didn't dare to do anything wanton.
"The prince is right. In fact, we usually stand in the water and fire with the people just like the prince. But today we wanted to come out to see the prince, so we simply dressed better, but we never thought that the prince was already here.
Construction has started.”
Zhao Zhongru actually couldn't listen to such excuses. He raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfied, "Is it possible that this prince is still at fault?"
The prefecture and county magistrate hurriedly apologized, "No, no, no, it's our fault. The Crown Prince has already treated us with supreme dignity when he came here. How can we blame the Crown Prince for no reason?"
