Chapter 1485 Collision
Nillo was overjoyed, and then asked carefully for more than two months, not missing every detail.
Even the layout of the shed used for the examination and the arrangement of the stinky cells are particular.
All points are carved on stone tablets.
"It's really not easy. The Eastern Celestial Dynasty can maintain such a large territory, and most of the time is spent on the imperial examination." Nillo understood clearly.
Relying on the imperial examination to recruit outstanding local ruling talents, and then win over people's hearts and maintain stability.
"But, monk, why do they have such good regulations, but the lifespan of the dynasty cannot exceed three hundred years, and our Roman Empire still has a thousand years?" Nillo asked another difficult question.
"This should be because the land in the world is limited, but the people are unlimited, and the more people are born, the more people are born. Navigation is not popular here, and it is impossible to send a large number of people to the outside world, so the dynasty cannot last long." The fat monk said.
“I see, if we combine the two kingdoms, can we build an immortal empire?”
“Impossible, people have joys and sorrows, and countries rise and fall. Wealth rises and falls. Children in other countries are less likely to endure hardship than children in poor countries, and people in powerful countries are not as hard-working and motivated as people in poor countries. If they slack off, they will be surpassed." The fat monk shook his head directly.
"Oh, I understand. In that case, I want to build a country that can continue to absorb progressive people from poor countries, and keep its people active at all times. Those without vitality will be eliminated from the country, isn't that enough?" Nillo boldly imagined.
The fat monk was shocked that this rational Westerner could even think of such a place.
This kind of mind is much stronger than many nominal saints.
"That will take many years."
"I have plenty of time." Nillo said confidently.
"The monk wants to see if such a country can appear."
…………
The Great Court Meeting.
A dense group of people, including officials in Beijing and those of fourth rank and above, all came to participate.
What we want to discuss today is the book trade with Westerners.
There are all kinds of thoughts. This official has a much more flexible mind than the slaves in the harem. If you don't have a smart mind, you can't stand in the front row.
Lu Zhi was sitting behind the curtain and was very irritated. He had to ask the guy behind the scenes to return the earplugs to her.
Plug in the earplugs and your mind will become clear.
"The Empress Dowager said that in the opinion of the ministers, the books carried by the Westerners were only those on farming, medicine, and astronomy and calendars. The other books were nothing more than novels and tricks, not enough for appreciation, and they were spread all over the country. , will corrupt the morale and harm the court. "This is a third-grade censor.
It can be considered as a strange skill.
It's just that this old guy, what he thinks in his heart and what he says are the same thing?
Lu Zhi took off his earplugs and looked at the censor.
【We can’t let the imperial court learn to build Western ships. If the imperial court builds them, wouldn’t my family’s shipbuilding business be doomed? 】
【You have to burn all the court's shipbuilding blueprints to avoid wasting public funds. How can you build ships if you can't make ends meet? 】
【It is better to be still than to move. It is easy to allocate money but difficult to earn it back. It is better not to bother in the first place. 】
Lu Zhi was silent.
This censor has both selfish and public motives.
Forget it, just write down this knife first.
"Is there anyone else?" she asked lightly.
“I am reporting to the Queen Mother that our Holy Dynasty governs the world with virtue and governs the people with filial piety. The books presented by Westerners are all about teaching people how to make money from adu and go out to sea to hunt for treasures. There is no trace of moral education. They have been passed down. If it comes to the people, it really corrupts the morals and is of no benefit, so it should be banned." The Minister of Rites held up the board and said.
[This book is really good. It happened that the clan had been in deficit for many years. I went back to get a set and studied it to see if I could make up for the deficit. But we can't let outsiders see it. 】
"Puch", the knife hit the waiter's chest.
The minister looked up to the sky and fell down.
"Shilang Zheng has a stroke, Doctor Liu?" Lu Zhi said calmly. "Your Majesty, I have read the books sent by the Westerners. There is a method of drilling and opening the skull, which is exactly what the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo thought, and it can cure stroke." An old doctor hurriedly came forward to check.
"It's time to open his skull and let his brain ventilate." Lu Zhi said seriously.
"I sincerely comply with the Queen Mother's decree." Doctor Liu quickly knelt down and led people to send Shi Lang Zheng away.
It’s so cool.
In the past, the situation was really small. I never realized the happiness of the people at the top, so I just wanted to destroy the world.
Childish. Lu Zhi thought to himself and looked at the others.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada.
The man still had a lot of energy, and he quickly understood why Zheng Shilang had suffered a stroke.
The first half is fine, but the second half is just a fart.
Who doesn’t like making money? There are several streets of shops owned by Zheng Shilang's family.
At this time, Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue reported again: "The Queen Mother...Wei Chen believes that we can open several customs and trade with them to collect customs silver and make up for the lack of national funds."
< br>
"Good, is there any more?"
"This book teaches people how to dry sea salt, which is really a great benefit. We should build a new salt farm."
"Good."
"The Queen Mother is generous, and you need capable people to do things. If you don't reform the official system, good things will turn into bad things." The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel followed.
"Yes, Director Xie of the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for this matter." Lu Zhi said directly.
"According to the decree."
Nothing can be done at the court meeting. They just listen to the opinions of the officials.
There are few public-minded people and many selfish people.
Under the seemingly stupid reports, there are hidden secrets.
Or maybe it’s their way of thinking, that’s how they think.
For example, overseas immigration, some people think it is immoral and abandons the people.
But they have forgotten that famine comes once every few years, and when people starve to death, it is not considered immoral.
The Great Court Meeting was quite fruitful. At least Lu Zhi had a few more useful ministers in his pocket.
One of them, Mr. Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Finance, is very ambitious, broad-minded, and responsible. He is only 33 years old this year. After several years of hard work, he will be 40 years old, and he is just in time to preside over major affairs.
She thought of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, maybe the other party was the next Zhang Juzheng.
She has her own voice and hairballs, and is not afraid of a civil servant joining a gang, as long as the other party does not touch the military affairs, so the Ministry of War must be in her hands.
…………
After the Great Court Meeting.
All the officials dispersed.
One of them, a fourth-rank official named Wen, returned to his home in the capital.
Then turn on the air conditioner, lie on the soft sofa, and drink tea.
Only the tea is locally produced.
Of course he is Wen Rensheng.
"Lao Wen, do you think this aunt can succeed?" Xiao Huan asked happily while teasing a big blue-eyed Persian cat.
“If you don’t succeed after three or four attempts, just try another person.”
"You brought her here because you wanted to achieve a higher level of technology, but she seems to prefer the rigid environment of the harem."
"Let's see."
"Me too If you want to be an official, give me a role."
"Have you not had enough experience in the Republic of China? This is a feudal society, which is worse than the Republic of China."
"You are wrong. "It's much better here than in the Republic of China," Xiao Huan insisted.
"Okay, you can be the female minister in the harem."
"It's boring, I want to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Why?"
"I want to build myself a garden. I used to rely on tools, but now I have to rely on my hands."
