One hundred and eightieth chapter, the good king's life is safe
Through the past day, Shi Zi became familiar with government affairs, and also identified clearly those who could do things, and those who only knew how to flatter and contribute.
In fact, it is very simple. Things in the palace before will definitely be spread. Not to mention that someone was assassinating later, and those who were rescued by the powerful men of the Heavenly Court, the king sent troops to collect three beauties from the people. This kind of thing is ironclad evidence of the foolish monarch.
In this case, those who can stand up and speak dare not say how capable they are. At least they can prove that they are a Zhengchen. At least they can believe most of what such a person says.
So Shi Zi quickly identified clearly that at least this old prime minister was the kind of person who dared to tell the truth, and perhaps he was old and experienced, so he was completely willing to do so.
The dynasty pointed directly at the king's nose and scolded him, and then cried to say that he was sorry for the previous king, which made Shi Zi feel embarrassed.
Moreover, being able to become the prime minister, being able to stand firm while being upheld and principled, can also prove his means, at least prove that the king cannot lack him.
At this time, Shi Zi stared at the old prime minister and said, "I have recently heard that there was an ancient sage in Dongtu who had no distinction and had no distinction to recruit disciples. He also taught according to his aptitude, so he gained 72 talents, 3,000 disciples, and his peaches and plums all over the world. His teachings and ideas have remained there yet.
"I think that the greatest thing in a country is the people, and the greatest thing in the people is the thought. The reason why a person is a human being is not only about food and clothing, but also because he can think and think, he can have wisdom, and he can establish a country and build a business and pass it on for thousands of years.
"Look at the people of this country, don't look at their strength and can stutter and drink, but what does this mean with the beast? But it's not that they can't think, but that they have not learned.
"Even those wild beasts know how to hunt in order to survive and pass on them from generation to generation. What the people lack is not the desire to learn, but the opportunity to learn.
"I think that the wise kings in ancient times could be the way of being able to educate as saints. Following this way, they could gain talent and strengthen their country. However, now, their knowledge is monopolized by some powerful people, so that the upper and lower channels are controlled by the powerful people, and the people have no way to stand up.
"In the court, coming and going, there are all those families, relatives, relatives, relatives, or disciples and former officials. Over time, the country will no longer be a country, but only a combination of several families.
"The Prime Minister thinks that these families will put the interests of a country with the majority of the people in the forefront, or will the interests of their own families be ahead?"
His ability to say this already shows that he has trusted the old prime minister enough. After all, even if he is the current king, saying such words is considered a heart-breaking statement.
So the old prime minister was dumb for a while before smiling bitterly: "The lord said this really makes me feel that I don't know how to answer the words."
Shi Zi smiled lightly and said, "There are only you and me here. These words can be spoken and heard by you. What you want to say is okay."
The old prime minister calmed down and asked again: "The lord thought that education was not good, so the way of speech was blocked, which caused the lord not to know the sufferings of the people and to listen; but the upper and lower levels were not clear, it was like a stagnant water. The court was conquered by their own interests, but no one was seeking profit for the people."
Shi Zi smiled and said, "Yes, now I know the source, not only those families, but even the royal family itself, but I have no idea how to start. I don't know what the Prime Minister can teach me?"
"Since the lord knows which families it is, he will attack them directly. Wouldn't he be able to get rid of the stubborn disease?"
Shi Zi shook his head and said, "If only a few of them are removed, it will be a temporary speed. However, domestic customization has been completed, and within a few years, new families will be replaced. In even a few years, if I want to hire people, I will naturally need to promote new people to replace them.
"However, as I said before, the way of knowledge and education is controlled by all ethnic groups. If the people do not see literature, how can they be promoted to govern a country? Therefore, if they come and go, they will still return to their original state.
"It's better to maintain this for the time being, and even use their hands to do that big plan..."
The so-called major plan is obviously what he said before, the matter of education, libraries, schools, so-called compulsory education, and of course, more importantly, teaching according to aptitude, are all basic.
Seeing Shi Zi's attitude, the old prime minister was happy. He was afraid that Shi Zi would be just a whim. After all, with his previous nature, he never works for a long time, and enjoyment was his only pursuit. This time, it might be because the strong men of the Heavenly Court came, so he did it.
Secondly, he was worried that Shi Zi was eager and too rushing. After all, this kind of thing was a matter of being anxious and unable to eat hot tofu. The more anxious the more he was, the easier it was to backfire. Even if the original rules were in place, if the steps were too big, it would be easy to beat him.
But now it seems that the king not only has ideas, determination, but also patience, which is the basis for success.
The rest is to see how many people can help him achieve success according to his rhythm.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that Shi Zi came to discuss it first and set a goal for him first.
Of course, Shi Zi would not put his hopes entirely on others, nor would he easily believe these subordinates, so he actually used some tricks in the process.
Perhaps the old prime minister himself didn't notice it, and he was bewitched by Shi Zi without realizing it.
At this time, he hesitated for a moment and asked again: "The old minister can handle the matter in the school. I will definitely not be disappointed in the lord, but the library..."
Shi Zi understood where hesitated. After all, since he said something wrong now, those families can only keep them for the time being and have to use them, so he cannot alarm the enemy.
Where the most books is, it is not the palace, but the private collections of these families, but it is impossible for them to contribute easily.
Shi Zi smiled and said, "I have my own way. Speaking of which, I have a few books here. The old prime minister might as well send someone to copy them together, so that they can use it to enlighten the people of literature."
The old prime minister took it and looked at it one by one, and saw the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Jin Ping Mei".
"Cough!" Shi Zi immediately took back the last book like lightning and said, "This is my personal treasure, so it is not easy to show it to the Prime Minister."
The old prime minister pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "It must be a rare good article for the lord to be so fond of you. Why can't you let go of these books to the old ministers if you can open them?"
Shi Zi said lightly: "The old prime minister is not worried. I am also considering your health. If you are old this year, your physical condition will not be very good. If you watch it for a long time, it will easily consume energy and will be detrimental to your health."
This was all heartfelt words, but the old prime minister was a skewer. The more he said so, the more curious he was and the more he wanted to see it. He felt like he was tickling his heart. He thought the king was hiding something, and he stared at him with a beard and stared at him, "If the lord doesn't show him a look, the old minister will die with his eyes."
Shi Zi was surprised. Is it necessary that you can say such words?
He had no choice but to take out one of the four amazing books and hand them to the old prime minister and said, "Prime Minister takes care of his health..."
"I'm very good-looking!" The old prime minister put the book into his cuff, snorted, and then walked.
"Hey, old Prime Minister, didn't you just take a look?"
"I don't like to blink my eyes when reading books, so it's better to go back and take a good look."
