In the eyes of the honorable nobles, because of Gao Gong's status, Gao Jingshi really didn't need their help, and there was nothing to fear from them. Therefore, they felt that it was as easy as if Gao Jingshi's conditions were not mentioned.
It even makes people feel that there is fraud in it.
But in Gao Pragmatic's view, this is not the case. Although this group of nobles has no hope at all in terms of fighting, they are still an important part of the Ming Dynasty's power system. Although since the Tumu Revolution, the power of the nobles has almost become
Although they have withdrawn from the central stage of power, in fact, as a part of the same people as the country, regardless of their political symbolism, the power they hold in the health center economy, or even their needs in the major reforms planned in the future with high pragmatic ideas.
The roles they play need to be highly pragmatic to win them over, transform and guide them.
In Gao Pragmatic's view, a country in an era like the Ming Dynasty must need the so-called elite, but Gao Pragmatism also requires that these elites must be elites in the true sense and cannot sit on the merits of their ancestors.
They are wastes that eat empty wages. Therefore, transformation and guidance are indispensable, and in the process of transformation and guidance, some people who cooperate well will become the new elites and new nobles after the reform. Those who are unwilling to cooperate or cannot keep up will
If you are in the team, then I’m sorry. A major reform is like a big wave washing away the sand...
Gao Gong's reforms, in Gao Pragmatic's opinion, were just the forerunner of the major reforms in his plan, because Gao Gong was limited by the limitations of the times and could not make many changes to the foundations of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Gao Gong's reforms in the administration of officials,
Whether it is the system of four ministers, strengthening the evaluation of officials, increasing the appointment of candidates, etc., in Gao Pragmatic's view, it is just a temporary solution. It cannot even be said to be a temporary solution, it can only be said to be tinkering. And Gao Pragmatic himself will make changes in the future.
Yes, but it is to change the entire imperial examination system step by step!
The difficulty between the two cannot be measured by reason at all. As long as the former has enough power, the opposition will not be too strong. After all, no matter how many changes are made, the essence of the imperial examination has not changed. The latter is different. If one cannot be done well, then
His reputation was ruined.
Because Gao Pragmatism will never tolerate the country's elites only studying "Chinese" - of course, Confucianism cannot be said to be just "Chinese", at least philosophy must be added, but in terms of effect analogy, that's pretty much it.
It's over.
All officials across the country are philosophers? It sounds awesome, but what’s the use?
As a person who traveled through time as a grassroots official of the Red Dynasty, Gao Pragmatic studied law at university and economics at the party school - to be honest, this was also one of the most popular "configurations" at the time, so how could he think that
Can just studying Confucianism change China's destiny?
Not to mention macroscopic subjects such as law and economics, shouldn’t we engage in more basic and more specific mathematics? Shouldn’t we have to engage in physics? Shouldn’t we even engage in chemistry?
Not to mention that all these have to be done, even accounting, Gao Pragmatic feels that it must be done - look at the scumbag taxation and fiscal system of Ming Dynasty, it is so scumbag that people are speechless, and the accounting related to it
The system, auditing system, etc. are all extremely crude, and may not even exist at all!
Otherwise, there could be an "unjust, false and wrong case" like the Huizhou Silk Case, which has been wrong for nearly two hundred years?
Under such circumstances, how to create a new fiscal and taxation system? How to build the future advanced version of the Customs and Excise Department? Even how to use various economic data to determine how much tax a certain region should pay?
Doing these things cannot be done by just a high-level pragmatist. It requires talents, a large number of professional talents. Try to find those who can be discovered, and try your best to cultivate those who cannot be discovered!
Transforming a country really cannot be accomplished by developing a few weapons, training a few strong armies, or even building a few factories.
For example: If the organizational power of the party in later generations had not been strong enough, would it have been possible to achieve the great feat of transforming North Korea from a super-large country with almost bankrupt central finance to the world's second economy in thirty or forty years?
Could it be that the boiled seed oil that the West advocates all day long is the basis here?
Obviously not. The key here depends on the correct direction of development, strong organizational capabilities and... the Chinese people who are smart, diligent and extremely patient.
Without the right direction, no matter how hard you work, you will always take detours; without strong organizational skills, a person will not be able to work for ten years after making a decision, and nothing will be accomplished; without the Chinese people who are smart, diligent, and extremely patient...
I want to go.
Of course, this is all for later. Now Gao Pragmatic has just taken the first step in winning over the Xungui Group: bundling interests.
If we put it another way, it would be: Gao Pragmatic intends to take them flying.
After they experience the joy of flying, tell them step by step: We can fly even more happily, do you want to come?
The soap factory can do it, and so can other factories. Even in future overseas trade, Gao Pragmatism will also have to fly with them...
One person cannot save Ming Dynasty, but one group, two groups, three groups...
If there are more people who can benefit from the reform, the reform will naturally have hope. This is just like China, which has just been reformed, but there are still many people who are confused about whether they should be surnamed capitalist or socialist.
Thirty or forty years later, how many people will still be struggling with this issue?
Why not struggle? Because the results are here, and everyone has enjoyed this result - at most, there are more people and less people.
This is truly successful reform! Even though some problems and pains may arise during the reform process, who dares to say that the general direction is not for the better?
But the Red Dynasty was re-opened, and with the old man from the southern patrol in charge, no one could stir up any trouble until the initial results were seen. How could Gao Wuchen have such huge prestige and strength now? So he could only guide step by step.
Thinking, bundling interests.
From the moment he chose to save Ming, he knew that this was a difficult road - not necessarily hard work, but certainly hard work.
"Tell Wei Ximin to implement the plan in the first tip bag."
Gao pragmatic was sitting in the study, originally practicing calligraphy. After listening to Gao Mo's report, he just replied lightly without even raising his eyelids.
Gao Mo has already seen his amazing abilities. There is no point in pretending to be innocent as a child in front of him. It is better to play the role of "child prodigy". Anyway, there are so many prodigies in the Ming Dynasty, not many
This one myself.
On the contrary, after Gao Mo left, Gao Jingshi took out a bunch of keys, selected one of them, opened a small iron box under his desk, took out a stack of manuscripts and paintings, and murmured to himself.
"There's still half a month left before I officially enter the palace to study with you. Should I take the time to make a trip to Jizhou? After all, no one else can handle this matter better than me making the trip myself... But it's appropriate for me to go to Jizhou to see him.
