No policy can appear out of thin air, there will always be its causes and consequences. Why did it come into being and what consequences will it cause are linked together.
Therefore, after removing the historical view of moral theory, you will find that history has many inertia, which cannot be changed just by thinking about it. If you do not consider the causes and consequences clearly, even if you can accomplish something, it may be a good intention to do something bad.
As a time traveler, Liu Xie’s biggest advantage is that he is well versed in the laws of historical cause and effect, and will not make hasty decisions, but will make arrangements calmly.
"Invincible starts with offering sacrifices to the ancestors"
Just like the construction of water conservancy, the tunnel is dug, and opening the gate and releasing water is just a ceremony.
If the water is released without digging the canal, or the canal is not dug well enough, it will most likely lead to floods.
He first promoted education and specially established the seal shop for this purpose, which was the first shovel of soil dug to bury the aristocratic family.
Why can aristocratic families become bigger? Because it is difficult to spread knowledge, they monopolize knowledge and speak.
Why do intellectuals in later generations have inexplicable confidence? The reason is that they monopolize knowledge and discourse power. For thousands of years, scholars have always accounted for only a very small part of the population. They naturally have the right to speak and criticize the emperor.
Betray the people.
There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there are thousands-year-old scholar-officials.
Liu Xie established a seal shop, which reduced the difficulty for ordinary people to read and read, and criticized Confucian scholars' practices, advocated that all the people be scholars and encouraged practical learning. Confucian scholars' monopoly advantage of inheriting classics and inheriting family traditions was naturally weakened.
At this time, a new contradiction was already brewing.
The channels for Confucian scholars to enter the officialdom are limited, and they cannot be calm and have no idea.
In the second decade of the 21st century, when Internet technology was popularized and everyone could speak out, Liu Xie remembered how traditional intellectuals and media people frantically counterattacked.
No one will calmly accept the loss of vested interests.
Whether it is a Confucian scholar who regards himself as a disciple of a saint or a public intellectual who regards himself as an enlightener.
The current electoral system can no longer meet the current situation, and reform is inevitable.
Before large-scale discussions, Liu Xie had to perform small-scale ventilation, and the first goal was Xun Or.
Xun may be the next Situ candidate, and elections are his future responsibilities and cannot be escaped.
Xun or himself obviously also realized this, so he put the electoral system before determining the capital and developing Jiangnan as the most important issue.
He was not humble when he asked Liu Xie's questions and expressed his views straight to the point.
Unlike Liu Xie, he considered this issue further and was accustomed to seeking basis from previous history, starting directly with the election reforms of Zuo Xiong, Huang Qiong and others.
Yes, there has been a long time since the current electoral system and some attempt has been made.
Zuo Xiong and Huang Qiong were pioneers in reforming the electoral system.
Zuo Xiong's contribution is to limit his age, exclude those who are too young and have no practical experience, and emphasize the ability of the selected personnel. For this reason, he set a system that under forty years shall not be recommended as filial and honest people.
Huang Qiong's contribution lies in the selection of scholars in different subjects, and especially emphasizes those who can be administrative, and further strengthen the administrative ability of selected scholars.
However, due to the actual conditions at that time, their reforms did not achieve ideal results.
One of the reasons is that Confucian scholars occupy too little share in the actual distribution of power. They cannot move relatives and the share of the powerful and powerful can only make some adjustments within a limited range, which has little impact.
For example, when electing filial and honest people, most of the quotas in each county were divided by the powerful and powerful, and only one or two without backgrounds were 100.
For example, in the Imperial Academy exam, the election of the Langguan officials was elected from more than 30,000 people, less than 100 people a year, and it was a drop in the bucket.
In contrast, the children of the 2,000-stone nobles do not need to take the exam at all. They can directly enter the officialdom by choosing their father and brother. The number of students selected by studying hard every year is several times that of the Taishen students.
In this case, it is strange that students can read with peace of mind.
The situation has changed now. Liu Xie abolished the eunuch system and vigorously suppressed the nobles. The recruitment of the children of officials was also kept at a low level, leaving opportunities for more ordinary people. At the same time, the increase in court affairs,
Forced the number of government agencies and counties to increase, and the number of places was expanded, providing more official positions.
In this case, there is little pressure to adjust the electoral system and is easier to achieve results. It is a rare opportunity.
Xun may be very clear about this, so he naturally put forward suggestions to take Zuo Xiong and Huang Qiong's reforms further.
Specifically, there is an age limit for the selection of officials at all levels, and at the same time, students are selected according to different subjects to enhance their professionalism. The emperor advocates that all the people are scholars and advocates practical learning. The selection of scholars must naturally follow these characteristics.
For example, military, thief, and wei Cao should choose people with a background in the army, Jin Cao should choose people with smelting experience, household, and warehouse, and must have an agricultural background, and resign Cao, and then be proficient in the law.
In short, we must strengthen our professionalism in order to meet the needs of different positions and perform our duties better.
To this end, Xun may also establish a subdivision of the functions of the Caos to clarify their requirements and be more conducive to the selection of talents.
Finally, Xun may make another suggestion, asking some experienced old ministers to serve as teachers and teach actual administrative processing capabilities.
Like Zhao Wen, he worked hard in his career for a lifetime and accumulated a lot of practical experience. If he did not use it, his experience could only be passed on to his children at most. In fact, it was still a family inheritance, which was not what the court wanted. Establishing a school,
Let him teach more people, which will help improve the overall quality of officials.
Administrative ability is also practical.
Liu Xie spent most of his time listening, occasionally mentioning a few words, but firmly grasping the direction, constantly stimulating Xun Or's ideas, and forcing him to come up with more solutions.
But it seems that Xun may be the one who said the most, and he is leading the issue of election reform.
In daily life notes, Xun Or spoke a lot, but Liu Xie only had a few words.
Finally, Liu Xie still had the same rule and asked Xun to write these opinions into words, which was not only convenient for others to discuss and preserve them as historical materials.
In the future, some people will write the history of election reform based on these records, and if nothing unexpected happens, Xun may be regarded as the initiator.
Xun may not doubt that he has, and he will obey his orders happily.
After discussing the electoral system, we also discussed the selection of the capital and the development of the southern part.
Liu Xie talked with Xun Ren all day, had supper together in the evening, and chatted for a while before he returned to his full pleasure.
Xun may not be able to do so. After returning to the post house, he ordered his wife Tang to prepare lamp oil, brush and ink, and some strong tea. He was preparing to fight at night with the lamp, and to form a formal memorial as soon as possible for the discussion with the emperor to submit it to the three officials for discussion.
Liu Xie is not so diligent.
After seeing Xun Or away, he processed several important documents and got up to Xun Wenqian's room and roughly explained the story of his conversation with Xun Or.
Although Xun Wenqian did not go to the front, she knew that Xun or Liu Xie had a great conversation, so she was naturally happy.
"Since the conversation is speculative, why is Your Majesty still unfulfilled?"
Liu Xie looked at Xun Wenqian and laughed. "There are some questions that have not been discussed, but we can't be anxious to achieve success, we have to take it slowly." He thought for a while and said, "I think Ling Zun should think so too, the timing
