Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 40 The Power of the People

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little embarrassed.

He chatted with Liu Weichao a little too much, for a while, he didn't know what Liu Weichao was referring to?

Fortunately, Liu Weichao just asked this question casually, and didn't really ask him to answer, so he continued to say to him directly: "The emperor should represent the interests of the majority of the people. If you follow this principle, you can use it." The power of the most common people. In this way, you still have to worry about this, worry about that?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that Liu Weichao had indeed mentioned it to him several times.However, regarding the matter of the imperial examination, he couldn't connect with the words, so he asked modestly: "I don't really understand the meaning of these words!"

Liu Weichao was patient and explained to him: "The great man who created my era once said that to fully mobilize the masses, rely on the masses, and launch a people's war, all enemies are paper tigers!"

"Great man?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little incomprehensibly after hearing this.

Liu Weichao thought for a while, and gave him a metaphor: "Yes, compared to Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, and your Taizu Chengzu, there are many great men who are much more powerful. In my era, everything today, All thanks to his achievements!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help opening his mouth slightly. It's a little hard to imagine that there are such people in the world?
But when he came back to his senses, he suddenly understood. After all, what he saw in the afterlife was simply a world of immortals. It could even be said that it was even more powerful than the world of immortals!
At this moment, he really wanted to ask about the life story of this great man, but thinking of his purpose and the problem he wanted to solve, he finally suppressed his curiosity and solved his own problem first: "People's war? What do you mean by this? ?”

"Let's talk about the imperial examination system!" Liu Weichao said to him immediately, "The reason why things like rehabilitating society happened is because at that time, the official family controlled the local power. They used the power in their hands to collude with each other, right? ?”

"That's the reason!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement after hearing this.

The scholars in the Fushe are all officials and eunuchs, their fathers or grandparents were officials, and they colluded with each other, forming a huge force in the officialdom.

"Originally, you still have the Metropolitan Procuratorate over there, and there are local patrols. If this kind of thing happens, you will strictly investigate this kind of thing, right?" Liu Weichao asked again.

"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen replied, and then realized what Liu Weichao meant, and confirmed, "You mean, the inspectors may also be bought by them, or they may simply join them. In this way, the supervision will Failed?"

"Yes!" Liu Weichao listened, a little admired the cleverness of Emperor Chongzhen, and immediately nodded in affirmation, "But you think, no matter how much they collude, no matter how much they deceive others, it is impossible to deceive the masses? For example, the imperial examination If you go online, ordinary scholars must be able to know about their collusion, right?"

"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded quickly after hearing this, "That's for sure!"

"That's all right!" Liu Weichao said immediately, "If you have a channel for them to give feedback on local people's sentiments, are you still afraid that you will be kept in the dark by the officials below?"

Emperor Chongzhen was very excited to hear that, if it really wanted to be like this, he would definitely not be kept in the dark.But then, he was a little puzzled, and asked Liu Weichao: "Then what should I do?"

"Believe in the power of the masses and make full use of the power of the masses!" Liu Weichao said to him, "First of all, you have to give the masses confidence that you will be the master for them! You stand behind them and are their biggest pillar ! If they are disappointed in you and feel that you will not be the master for them, even if they see injustice or harm to the court, they will not respond to the problem."

After a pause, he hit Emperor Chongzhen and said: "As far as your matter is concerned, the Fu Society manipulated the imperial examinations so brazenly, and even directly affected the appointment and dismissal of the chief assistant, because you lost the trust of the people below and thought you were a fool. What if you report this to you, and you don't believe it at all, and instead let them be retaliated..."

These words made Emperor Chongzhen blush a little.But Liu Weichao pretended not to see it, and continued: "So you must first rebuild your prestige and win the trust of the masses. Then, mobilize the masses and rely on the masses, and you will be invincible. Only in this way can there be a virtuous circle."

This kind of understanding was something that Emperor Chongzhen had never thought of before, and he said seriously: "I will seriously consider this matter!"

After hearing this, Liu Weichao said with a smile: "Let me tell you, the power of the masses is infinite. Except for the imperial examination, it can be reflected in other aspects."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking at him curiously, Liu Weichao gave an example: "In your era, only a small number of wealthy people could afford to study, so knowledge was monopolized by them, power was divided up by them, and they wanted to collude, of course. It would be much easier. However, if everyone reads like I did in my time, then with such a huge population, there will always be noble sons from poor families, and it will be difficult for power to be concentrated in the hands of a few people."

"Also, if you rely on a few people, how much power can they contribute? But if you can rely on the masses, then the strength you rely on is too great!"

Speaking of this, he found that Emperor Chongzhen showed doubts again, and he knew that this theory of later generations was too advanced for Emperor Chongzhen.Because of this theory, no one thought about it in ancient times.

Therefore, Liu Weichao gave another example: "Look, if craftsmen have culture, they will record and pass it on, and they will have that level of knowledge to study and make the technology more advanced. The craftsman here is a code name. It can be said that each All kinds of craftsmen, including farmers, etc. That is to say, people in the [-] lines can promote technological innovation in their own industries!"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "The reason why my era is so different from yours is that we humans can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, go up to the sky, and go down to the sea. The innovation of craftsmen and their enthusiasm have allowed science to develop fully."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes widened when he heard this, and it could be seen that his face was full of envy.

High-rise buildings, airplanes, cars, etc., are all enviable!
These things flashed through his mind, and he quickly asked Liu Weichao: "Then what should I do, can this scientific thing be fully developed here?"
