Chapter 1126: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Part 16)
Through the bead curtain, looking downstairs at the scene where hundreds of congressmen from all over the country stood and applauded enthusiastically, a smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face. The bill representing the sanctity of private property was passed by the parliament with a unanimous vote. The warm applause and cheers represented the aspirations of these congressmen.
Gao Yuan knew very well that even in the politically enlightened Han Dynasty, those who relied on the court's policies to make their fortunes must have some fear in their hearts. Thousands of years of dynastic politics have turned a country into one person's private property. Life and death, honor and disgrace, all depend on a person's thoughts. The so-called county magistrate who destroys the family and the magistrate who exterminates the family are the true portrayal of this era. As the Han Dynasty made great strides in legal construction, it abolished Zhu Rulianzuo and After a series of tortures on the family, the introduction of the Property Law will make all the citizens of the Han Dynasty focus on how to make themselves richer.
When the people get rich, the country will naturally get rich.
At some point, all the hundreds of congressmen in the audience turned around to the box where Gao Yuan was sitting. Because the bead curtain blocked people's sight, they didn't know whether Gao Yuan was inside, but everyone knew that that seat belonged to Gao Yuan. Unique to the King of Han, I don't know who took the lead and bowed deeply towards the box on the second floor. One after another followed suit. In the hall, hundreds of congressmen bowed down together.
"Long live my king, long live, long live!" Hundreds of heartfelt voices rushed out of the hall and echoed throughout the royal city. Above the parliament hall, where the meeting hall belongs, five people led by Jiang Jiaquan The people discussing politics also bowed and saluted. Unlike these councilors, they knew that at this moment, Han Wang Gao Yuan was hiding behind the bead curtain.
Inside the bead curtain, Gao Yuan turned around with a smile and looked at Ye Zhong and Wang Wu, the two important ministers beside him, "Look, sometimes, the majesty of the king does not require power. A good decree is enough to win everyone's favor." respect."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The two of them bowed together.
"Wang Wuyi, please don't put your money in my pocket anymore. According to the current property rights law, what belongs to the country belongs to the country, and what is mine is mine. If you hit me again, I will sue you to Jing Shou." Already." Gao Yuan said with a smile, patting Wang Wudi's shoulder heavily.
Wang Wudi looked at Gao Yuan with his mouth agape, and his brain was short-circuited for a moment. What belongs to the country belongs to the country, and what belongs to the king belongs to the king. Isn't this the same thing?
Looking at Wang Wucheng's expression, Gao Yuan knew very well that for a while, his great housekeeper still didn't understand the difference. There was still a long way to go. Even Wang Wucheng, an elite of the Han Kingdom, could not understand the difference for a while. They have not yet understood their true intentions, let alone ordinary people. As for the ordinary people at the bottom, let alone mention it. The cheers of these congressmen have only understood the most superficial meaning of this law. That’s all.
However, as time goes by, they will understand it bit by bit.
As for the common people, Gao Yuan hopes that the compulsory education law currently being implemented will allow them to make outstanding contributions in opening up the people's intelligence. In the areas under the jurisdiction of the former Eastern Expeditionary Army, education was relatively good, from the most elementary elementary school to The highest institutions of learning are all available, but in the place where we have just joined, the rate of illiteracy is not shocking, but appalling. If one person in a hundred people is literate, then this place can be called a gathering of literati.
Xun Xiu of the Ministry of Rites is vigorously running schools. The old man has now given up his ambition to compete for a higher position in the court. Now he only wants to open schools to every corner of the Han Dynasty. This is an excellent thing, but Seeing that the old man was still running around in his seventies, Gao Yuan felt a little unbearable, but asking him to step back was probably the last thing he wanted to do.
However, the schools in the Han Dynasty, especially the most basic elementary school, are still at the literacy stage, that is, they only teach people to read and write. This is not the school in Gao Yuan's mind, but he can't take care of that for the moment. Wait until the old man builds up the schools in various places, and then he can reap the fruits. Gao Yuan thought a little evilly, there is harmony in the military now, everyone is in a stage of accumulating strength, there will be no battles to fight in a short time, and in political affairs At the meeting, the political affairs hall led the various departments to work in an orderly manner, and basically had nothing to do with himself. Gao Yuan, who locked himself in his study every day, was doing something that he considered to be of great significance, compiling a textbook for use by the most junior schools in the future. Basic textbooks, of course, are about literacy. There are so many people doing this job. Gao Yuan compiled some of the most basic things such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. For him, that was all he had the ability to do.
However, Gao Yuan believes that when these things appear in this world and are forcibly promoted by him, there will be smart people who can draw inferences from one example and deepen him step by step. There is no shortage of talented and capable people in the world. Their eyes may only be covered by a thin layer of haze, but as long as you remove this layer of things blocking their eyes for them, their passion will surge out. Just like the Ye Ye of Jishi City Iron and steelmaking, over the years, they have compiled the experience accumulated bit by bit into a book, and constantly revised it in practice. It has become a living textbook. Of course, for military reasons The reason is that these things are still under the highest level of confidentiality and are strictly prohibited from being released outside.
"The next thing is about the budgets of the states and counties next year and the amount to be handed over to the court. I think it will be another scene where saliva and shoes are flying. I don't want to watch it. You two should go back too. Later, we will review the work of each department next year. Report, you should go get ready!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved to the two of them, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and left Shi Shiran.
Back in the palace, Gao Yuan unexpectedly saw Ning Xin. During this period, Ning Xin was in charge of the work of the Supervisory Council on behalf of Cao Tianci. She left early and came back late almost every day. The Mao Wei incident also made Ning Xin feel some self-blame.
"Why are you back so early today? Do you have any good news for me?" Gao Yuan asked, looking at Ning Xin.
"I can't say it's good news. The Oversight Council finally confirmed Mao Wei's current whereabouts. He is in Jiangdong County of Chu State!" Ning Xin said, "They left from Cangzhou Port in a grand manner using a caravan ship of Chu State. .”
"I guess this caravan must have suffered revenge from you now!" Gao Yuan blinked.
"Yes, Tang He personally led the team and confiscated all the goods of this caravan in our country. Now Tang He is rushing to Cangzhou, where there are several ships of this caravan, and Tang He does not want to give them any Put it back." Ning Xin said.
"You haven't recovered from your illness, so you're going to die again? I'm not afraid of getting some old illness!" Gao Yuan shook his head.
"Yi Bin has decided to leave for Jiangdong County of Chu State." Ning Xin continued, "I also agree."
"You want to assassinate Mao Wei." Gao Yuan frowned, "Heibingtai and Guiying have joined forces at the same time in this matter. When people arrive in Chu State, they must be under heavy protection of the army now, so go and assassinate him now." , is no different than a moth rushing to the flame and destroying itself.”
"I said the same thing, but Yi Bin still wants to take a look. Yi Bin is a veteran. If there is no chance, he will never act rashly. But if he doesn't go, there won't even be a chance, so I also agree with Yi Bin. Bin went to take a look, but I have already told him not to act rashly," Ning Xin said.
"It's good to go and have a look." Gao Yuan thought for a while, "This time the ghost of Chu State also showed up. It would be beneficial for him to understand the style and scale of this organization."
"Brother, is this the Maowei incident?"
"What else can we do?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Is it possible to raise a large number of troops to attack now? The conditions are not mature. We have swallowed up such a large territory. Now the government is in a mess. The money on hand is used for Even if you don't think you can take advantage of the internal affairs, how can you use it to fight? Don't rush, take your time, gunpowder can't change anything, let alone only one Maowei, even if they have ten Maowei, what impact will it have on the overall situation? ?”
"But we at the Supervisory Yuan are really unwilling to let us swallow this breath alive!" Ning Xin bit her mouth tightly and said angrily.
Looking at Ning Xin's appearance, Gao Yuan laughed, "Well, now it seems that he has some of the past behavior of the Vice President of the Supervisory Yuan, but if you lose, you lose. You have to be brave enough to admit it. What we are fighting for is not just a day." The long and short of it all depends on who laughs last, right? But if you want to add some eye drops to them, there's still a chance."
Ning Xin's eyes lit up, "Where is the opportunity?"
"Didn't you report a few days ago about the riots by people in Shu County of Qin State?" Gao Yuan looked at Ning Xin with a smile.
"Yes, but they looked very enthusiastic, but they were just a group of mobs. In the blink of an eye, they were exterminated by the Qin army. The Qin general Bai Qi who was ordered to suppress them was ruthless and killed several people in Shu County at one go. There are thousands of people, what do you do with them?" Ning Xin asked strangely.
"In order to build up another large army to fight against our country, the Qin State once again increased taxes at home, which made the people miserable, especially in places like Shu County, which were originally inferior in the Qin State, and they were even more exploited. They He has been resentful of the Qin court for a long time, otherwise there would not have been this riot. Bai Qi did kill a lot of people, and it seemed that he had suppressed it temporarily, but he may have accumulated more dissatisfaction and resentment. Hatred, this is an opportunity. As you said, a group of rabble cannot achieve success, but what if it is not a rabble but well-trained?"
Ning Xin's eyes lit up, "Brother, do you want to mix sand into it?"
"It's not about mixing sand, but it's a big one. Ning Xin, the Supervisory Yuan will do two things next. One is to find out the current situation in Shu County. No matter how many people Bai Qi kills, I'm afraid he won't be able to kill them all. That's resistance. There are always fish that slip through the net, and they are the people we can take advantage of. Secondly, in recent years, there have been a lot of people who have fled from Qin to our Han Dynasty. Many of them have integrated into our Han Dynasty. Many of them have They have joined our military and government agencies. So, if we send some experienced soldiers and officials to sneak into Shu County secretly to organize these rabble you are talking about, it may have miraculous effects in the future!"
"It's similar to what we did back then among the white mountains and black waters!"
"No, it's more difficult than before. Qin is not Donghu, they can be much more difficult to deal with." Gao Yuan said. (To be continued)
