If we want to summon local elders, famous Confucian eunuchs, high-ranking scholars and other social sages to come to Hanyang to act as a sounding board for Hong Jinglai, it is not too difficult to just call people here.

Because the Huanggan Examination was being held, at least thousands of Confucian scholars from all over the world gathered in Hanyang. Although it was said that meritocracy was chosen regardless of one's origin, in fact the vast majority of scholars who came to take the exam were still two

Banshi people. Only a small part of them are middle-aged people who get rich by operating handicrafts and commerce in cities and towns, as well as rich peasants, small landowners and good people who manage land and property and gain profits. They do not belong to the yangban class.

The so-called social elite actually mainly refers to the group of people who came to participate in the imperial examination, or to put it more bluntly, the two groups of scholars among them.

Of course, in this country of Yumyeong, it is not that difficult to obtain the identity of a Yangban. As long as you are not from a pariah background, you can definitely become a Yangban by buying an official position, but you can't marry a Yangban girl and give birth to a Yangban.

They are still just assholes.

Therefore, if Hong Jinglai wanted to hold a rally that would widely listen to the opinions of the masses, unite, and win, in fact, except for some great scholars who were raised in the countryside, most of the qualified "masters" were already in Hanyang at any time.

get ready.

Moreover, holding such a conference is not without precedent. For example, in the sixth year of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he ordered the prefectures and counties to recruit virtuous literary scholars and asked about the sufferings of the people, so the salt and iron discussion was launched. This is an example.

It is not unusual for the imperial government to solicit various opinions from the virtuous people in society. Although the decisions that need to be made have already been made, the so-called promotion of virtuous people and discussion of state affairs is just a ridiculous fig leaf. However, feudal rulers have always

If you don't even bother to create such a fig leaf, you have already kicked this custom away.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, there was a revival of similar meetings in the next door. Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a farmer, and he was very worried that the literati and officials would deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, so every year when the country collected autumn grain, he would summon people from all over the world to share their fortunes.

The grain chiefs who came to Beijing during the autumn period had face-to-face questions and answers to learn about the actual local conditions.

The grain chief at that time was not the evil government used to destroy the rich peasants and self-cultivators in the late Ming Dynasty. They were often held by local squires, wealthy households, knowledgeable and prestigious "locals". Some people were very proud of their exchanges with Zhu Yuanzhang.

, there are also people who were promoted to official positions overnight and even became ministers.

By the time of Zhu Di, the emperor was also a man who was diligent in military and government affairs, so he would also summon the grain chiefs from all over the world on a large scale to inquire in detail about the actual situation in each place. He could understand everything from top to bottom, because the grain chiefs could see it with their own eyes.

The emperor, and the emperor would definitely inquire about local affairs, and there were even people competing to be the grain chief at that time.

But later on, the descendants of the old Zhu family were like weasels giving birth to rats, and one litter was worse than the next. No one would go to meet the grain chief on a large scale. Such direct eyes and ears were given up by the old Zhu family themselves.

We have also lost the most intuitive and clear understanding of the actual local situation.

Although Hong Jinglai thought of this thing because of the exposure of the post, but now think about it, in addition to connecting with these people, extending favors, and expanding his reputation, is there also a way to avoid corruption among officials?

The benefit of officials is that they can actually understand the current situation of rural fields at the grassroots level.

As soon as he thought about this, Hong Jinglai summoned all the people in his small group to discuss the matter in detail. What specific regulations should be drawn up and how could this matter be handled well.

After all, these people are from the local areas, and they are often dissatisfied with the Hanyang court's ever-expanding central power and endless demands for wealth. They represent local forces, and naturally they will not be interested in Hong Jinglai, who is in charge of North Korea's national affairs.

With enough goodwill, there may even be hostility.

Some people will definitely say that they are just a bunch of blind bumpkins from the countryside. They throw a few bones at random, and some people are vying to be this "sage" and come to the meeting.

To use an inappropriate analogy, in the future, if the court orders the keyboards on the Internet, ninety-nine out of a hundred will immediately happily become a dog. The remaining one does not want to be a dog.

But he got too deep into the game and couldn't get away with being a dog. There are a bunch of beautiful fathers and frog fathers on top.

Don't expect this conference to be held by then. On the contrary, like the gang of fanatics who wrote the unveiling post before, they thought it was a great opportunity to gain fame. When they came up, they would compete with Hong Jing and spray Hong Jing all over his body. Not only would they get

The admiration and praise of the scholars in the countryside have even won the favor of some conservative royalist leaders in the DPRK.

Everything always has two sides. If you want to use them to communicate with superiors and subordinates and promote Hong Jinglai's benevolence, then Hong Jinglai must have enough benefits to share with this group of wise men who control the public opinion of the countryside and the majority of scholars in the countryside, or

It's official titles, or gold and silver wealth.

Nothing big can be accomplished with nothing!

But Zhao Wanyong seems to have considerable disapproval of this matter. He knows a very simple truth. When carrying out reforms in a feudal kingdom like North Korea, the entire route of the reforms must not be put into public discussion. Only Hong Jinglai is in power.

Just keep going step by step without hesitation.

The people below only need to follow the rules. If they don't do it well, they will be removed from their posts. If they don't do it well, they will be cut off as a warning to others. I hope that most of these scholars and sages, who are feudal conservatives, will do their best to support Hong Jinglai and serve as a warning to others.

Hong Jinglai's idea of ​​waving flags and shouting is absolutely unrealistic.

At this point, Xiao Zhao was very unsupportive of Hong Jinglai's whims and expressed his dissatisfaction accordingly!

After listening to Xiao Zhao's words, Hong Jinglai also felt that he had thought things too simply. When the imperial court summoned local gentry to Beijing, they actually gave away part of their voice and decision-making power. Although they originally controlled the public opinion of the opposition, they

It cannot influence the court's decision-making at all.

As long as the imperial court issues a decree, if they don't agree with it, they will at most be violating it and delaying it. But if they don't do it, Xiao Zhao is right. Hong Jinglai has a knife in his hand. There are always people who are willing to cooperate and help.

But once they were introduced to the capital, the whole city was in turmoil, and all the people were opposed. How could the imperial court issue a decree? Some people were bound to be injured in the reform, and the sword of the reform might be struck on them. They

It would be a shame to support Hong Jinglai.
