Chapter 648: Strategies for governing the world and recruiting good ministers
"Looking at it from an isolated perspective, if you want to bring peace to the world, you must first deal with internal affairs, which are nothing more than restraint, production, expansion, settlement, law, and frugality!" Xiao Ping'an was the first to speak.
The six words aroused the interest of the students. Although a young student was in the back row, he couldn't help but said: "What is, suppress, produce, open, tun, law, thrift."
Xiao Ping'an sneered and said: "The people in the world are in dire straits, mostly because powerful families compete with the people for profit, so they must be restrained. After restraint, the people must be encouraged to develop production, which is called "production." And each county and county cannot just encourage the people to produce. The soldiers of Daojun also need to join in production and open up additional wasteland, which is called opening up. Then there is Wang Zhendong's farming method. When there is a famine, more food will be available to help the people."
"All of this must be regulated by law. Moreover, after the output is restored, there must be no extravagance and waste. Only frugality can be used to retain the fruits of labor."
Xiao Ping'an, who comes from a lower-class background, has his own unique insights in this regard, and the strategies he proposes are very targeted!
The situation in Daqian has developed to the point where it is now. In addition to the factors of the emperor and ministers, the most direct reason is the powerful families in various places.
Local wealthy families forcefully annexed land, and even took it by force. A large amount of the common people's land fell on the powerful families, and the people who lost their land naturally had a difficult life. In addition, coupled with the natural disasters in the previous years of the Great Qian Dynasty, harm, resulting in the current chaotic situation.
In just a few sentences, he outlined the major policies of governing the country, which also made many academy disciples have a considerable change in their impressions of the Xuan King Xiao Ping'an who was not very good in their minds.
Suppression, production, development, settlement, law, and frugality are all related to each other. First, suppress the powerful, so that land can be given to the people. With the land, the people's enthusiasm for production will skyrocket, and they will be able to produce large quantities of goods.
At this time, the government also needs to take official action. It cannot compete with the people for existing land, so it must open up wasteland. Opening up wasteland will naturally lead to farming.
All of the above must be regulated by the rule of law.
Finally, when you become wealthy, you must not waste but be frugal. In this way, prosperity can continue.
A few simple words, but they have already outlined a blueprint for governing the world.
However, although many students have obviously changed their views on Xuan Wang Xiao Ping'an, the vast majority of students did sigh deeply in their hearts.
Xuan Wang Xiao Ping'an's answer is indeed wonderful. Many students have been moved, but it is just a heartbeat. Because of Xiao Ping'an's answer, the first step is to restrain the powerful families, and most of the academy disciples happen to be born into aristocratic families. As powerful as they are, they are naturally on the opposite side and belong to the opposite class.
The students in the academy are talented, but most of them are ordinary talents. The truly outstanding talents only belong to a very small minority.
Even the most talented people, let alone ordinary talents, cannot escape the turmoil of interest relationships in this world.
Of course, most people are fascinated but do nothing about it, but there are a few people who are obviously enthusiastic about it. Although the number is small, it is true that there are no students from humble backgrounds in the academy.
"As expected of King Xuan!" Meng Xueli praised him with his hands raised.
Meng Xueli had the people in mind, and Xiao Ping'an's theory was exactly what he wanted at the time.
It’s just, that’s all!
Based on Meng Xueli's position in the academy, he could not show too many preferences between powerful families and common people, the Daqian court and Xuanwang Xiao Ping'an. With his status as one of the three academic leaders in the academy, he could naturally influence it to a certain extent. He came up to represent the academy. Therefore, it is difficult to say what he should have said now.
"I thought that we should first use force to quell the judgment and frighten the small ones. We should strictly enforce the law on the officials, and those who are corrupt and bend the law will be removed. Taxes will be exempted, wasteland will be opened up, and the people will be at peace. Then the world will be prosperous and the people will be happy." Guo Longcheng then said.
The problems between Da Wei and Da Qian were completely different, and their concerns were also different.
The so-called Xiao Xiao, to Guo Longcheng, is naturally the faction of many powerful relatives and ministers headed by Yang Jian, Cui Xiao and others.
"As the prince of the Wei Dynasty, I was given the title of Yong'an by the late emperor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely show my strength, reform the shortcomings, rectify the country, and make the world prosperous forever!" Guo Longcheng said proudly.
He is naturally very high-spirited. Almost a quarter of the power of the Wei Dynasty's troops is in his hands, either openly or covertly. As a staunch royalist, when His Majesty is young and the powerful ministers are in rebellion, the Wei Dynasty cannot help but I know how many loyal ministers and good generals are united in his body.
Although he was not young and vigorous like Wang Yu, his heart was not old yet, and he was still ambitious and wanted to create another hundred years of prosperity for the Wei Dynasty.
"The King of Yong'an has great ambitions, but Lin Fan is not talented. He will graduate and return to his hometown at the end of the year. I am willing to help the prince to create a prosperous age for a hundred years!" A young talented man said with excitement.
"It's him! Lin Fan of the Lin Family of the Great Wei Dynasty!"
"Being born in the Wei Dynasty, it is reasonable to serve in the Wei Dynasty!" Many academy students commented one after another.
Although the Lin family of the Great Wei Dynasty is not a top-notch family in the Great Wei Dynasty, it is definitely a famous family and has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Moreover, several academy students who were close to Lin Fan also knew that the Great Wei Lin was originally the assistant of Guo Longcheng, King of Yong'an. This guy jumped out at this time and was clearly acting as the atmosphere team for Guo Longcheng.
"Wang Zhendong, I wonder what the general has to say?" Wang Zhi said with cupped hands.
Although these groups of people just arrived yesterday, Gao Jiong, Xiao Yuesheng and others started to take action early this morning. They who came out of the academy knew which of these academy disciples had real talent. Real stuff.
Even if there are some people who entered the academy after they left the academy, they still have their acquaintances in the academy, and it is much easier to inquire about information.
"It has been hundreds of years since the collapse of Emperor Wu's dynasty and the rise of seven dynasties!"
"In the past few hundred years, even though the world's structure has been greatly stabilized and the wars have been endless, how has it been that there has been peace in the seven dynasties?" Wang Yu was indeed not in a hurry, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course there have never been many wars between dynasties. Even between Cang and Wu, they have fought three times in the past hundred years!" A student replied.
After the emergence of the seven dynasties, although it was generally stable, this overall stability was compared to the chaotic times when the Dawu Dynasty had just collapsed and the world had completely collapsed.
But in fact, did the wars between these seven dynasties never stop?
As for the so-called three wars between Da Cang and Da Wu in the past century, this does not mean that the two dynasties only fought three wars in the past century, but that the wars involving millions of people alone were
