Dressed as the Queen Mother to grasp the script of a strong country

The cultivation of wheat and rice, with the help of chemical fertilizers and water channels, led to a bumper harvest in Daikin. However, due to the dominance of aristocratic families, the national treasury was still not full.

The emperor saw the role of the canal and ordered Gongsun Mo to build the Grand Canal.

Xu County.

The dirty people were carrying stones with their bare hands, and several people were carrying wood. The supervisors used whips to hit the people from time to time.

while eating.

An adult man came to the dining tent to serve food.

The man looked at the little bit of rice porridge in the bowl and wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the fierce supervisor, he could only turn into a flattering smile.

"So little rice porridge." The man had no choice but to mutter and complain among the villagers.

"Yeah. Such little rice porridge. I'll be hungry again soon."

"Eat quickly."

In a farming family, a woman looked at the land that should have been busy during the farming season, and looked at her young children. Tears burst into her eyes, and she said, "How can people live like this?"

……

"Gongsun Mo is cruel."

"Gongsun Mo harmed the people."

"The Grand Canal is Gongsun Mo's crime of harming the people."

"Kill Gongsun Mo."

"Kill Gongsun Mo."

Voices of punishing Gongsun Mo abounded in Dajin Chuan.

In the Dajin court hall.

"Your Majesty also asks Gongsun Mo to be punished to silence everyone in the world."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Your Majesty is also requested to suspend the Grand Canal to avoid irritating the people and causing public outrage."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Could it be that you would only advise me to give up?" The emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am stupid."

The emperor looked at these officials who could only second opinions and felt very angry.

The emperor came to Liang Meng's palace to seek answers.

Seeing the frail Queen Mother, the emperor felt guilty in his heart.

"Mother, I recently encountered that Gongsun Mo's construction of the Grand Canal was blocked by the people, and I hope my mother can clear up my confusion."

When Liang Meng saw the emperor's guilt, he couldn't bear to be confused and felt disdainful and hypocritical.

Then he pretended to cough violently.

"How much food and copper coins does the national treasury have?" Liang Meng asked weakly.

"The Queen Mother's treasury has never had much food and copper coins," the emperor said.

"The people built the Grand Canal regardless of their own fields. They continued to build the canal every day, even when they were sick. They worked hard every day and had very little to eat." Liang Mengdao.

"It's true what the Queen Mother said," the emperor said.

"The construction of the Grand Canal by the common people will also waste the fields. In addition, only men will build it, and food will only be provided to the men. The men will have enough to eat, but the men's parents, wives, and children, what will they eat? If you were a common man, you would go Build it?" Liang Meng asked again.

The emperor shook his head.

"So if you want to stop the world's mouth, you must solve the problem of food for the people. If you want to solve the problem of food for the people, you must have copper coins and grain." Liang Meng said.

"But now the national treasury is still insufficient in food and copper coins." The emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty, haven't you ever thought about why the national treasury is short of food and copper coins? Why no one can advise the emperor when Gongsun Mo builds the Grand Canal?" Liang Meng said.

"I came here today to ask my mother for advice," the emperor said.

Seeing the emperor's humble and studious look, Liang Meng was only wary. He didn't like the emperor's pretense of being harmless when needed, and cruel and ruthless when not needed. However, Liang Meng chose to ignore it for the sake of the historical process of Daikin.

"It's the selection of civil servants from Dajin that failed." Liang Meng said.

"Isn't the selection of Dajin civil servants just by recommendation? Is there any other way?" the emperor said.

"Of course there is, it's an imperial examination." Liang Meng said.

"Imperial examination? What is the imperial examination?" the emperor asked.

"Yes, it's the imperial examination. The imperial examination means that all men from Dajin can study and participate in the selection of Dajin?" Liang Meng said.

"Then this imperial examination will shake up the family, won't it?" the emperor said.

Liang Meng nodded.

"No, not mother. The laws of the ancestors cannot be changed." The emperor said.

Liang Meng mentally rolled his eyes at the emperor in front of him.

"The reason why the ancestral laws cannot be changed is because there are too many people who benefit from the ancestral laws. Once their interests are touched, there will be obstacles."

The emperor was touched and suddenly realized.

"What's more, our imperial examination family can also participate." Liang Meng said.

"The rich heritage of that aristocratic family is incomparable to that of the ordinary people. Wouldn't they still become a powerful family?" the emperor said.

Liang Meng shook his head.

"What do you mean by gate valve?" Liang Meng asked.

"It's a big family." The emperor said.

"Yes, it's a big family." Liang Meng said.

Liang dreamed of being like modern business oligarchs. The reason why they are called chaebols and giants is because they are too big.

"We are only afraid of big aristocratic families." Liang Meng said.

Liang dreamed that the emperor was the largest landowner. Among a group of landowners, one landlord became huge, and the emperor was afraid of only that huge landlord, not all the landowners.

"Only big families." The emperor repeated.

"We only need to eradicate the largest aristocratic families, and then let other aristocratic families never grow bigger, and there will be no cliques. We only need to get rid of a few big aristocratic families, and then let other aristocratic families participate in the imperial examination, and slowly they will Will accept the imperial examination." Liang Mengdao.

Divide the aristocratic families into the largest aristocratic families and ordinary aristocratic families, divide them, unite the ordinary aristocratic families, get rid of the largest aristocratic families, and slap the big aristocratic families to get rid of them with force and shock, while giving them a sweet date to participate in the imperial examination If you have the opportunity, you can still occupy the court with your family background, and slowly boil the frog in warm water, and eventually the imperial examination will become popular.

"Mother, but the people want to farm?" the emperor asked.

"Have you not discovered that the food in Daijin has already fed enough people? Now if the imperial examination is implemented, not many people may be able to enter the court as officials, but this is the hope of the people and the hope of living.

As long as they are given a chance, a chance to serve as officials in the court, they will study hard, and the selected ones will be truly capable. As poor people, they will be ostracized by the family at first because they touch the interests of the family. The emperor gave them Their opportunities, the emperor is their support and will be used by the emperor. "

The emperor nodded.

"If we remove the big aristocratic families and other aristocratic families struggle with the common people's children because of the imperial examination, they will not become big and become powerful families. But the common people's children are too weak?" the emperor asked.

"Indeed, they are too weak, so the emperor must protect them and let them rely on you.

If aristocratic families want to develop, they must attract talents. Maybe not all sons of ordinary people will be suppressed, and there will always be aristocratic families who will recruit them as uncles. "Liang Mengdao.

The emperor nodded.

"Mother, the reason why the aristocratic family has become a powerful family and has the ability to provide officials who can serve as officials in the court is ultimately because the powerful family has knowledge, because the aristocratic family controls the carrier of knowledge - bamboo slips. If the problem of bamboo slips cannot be solved among the common people, If knowledge cannot be disseminated to the people, eradicating the clan is just a delusion," the emperor said.

"Nowadays, people use bamboo slips, leather, and silk cloth, and the common people really cannot have access to knowledge." Liang Mengdao.

The emperor is lost.

"But paper and printing can." Liang Meng said.

"Paper? Printing?" asked the emperor.

"Paper is an easy-to-carry thing, and printing technology can widely print books." Liang Mengdao.

"Paper, printing, so you can..." There was hope in the emperor's eyes.

"This matter will be left to the queen mother." The emperor said.

A picture of a loving mother and a filial son.

Liang Meng only felt hypocritical.

One night at the Royal Academy a year ago, Liu Xingzhu comforted Jing Huan when he saw the depressed Jing Huan.

"Are you still worried about the Queen Mother's health?"

Jing Huan nodded.

"I secretly saw Aunt Hongyu pouring out the Queen Mother's medicine."

"Are you saying that the Queen Mother is not sick and is pretending to be sick?"

"The queen did have a high fever that day."

"My mother must have encountered something that made him have to pretend to be sick."

"The queen mother said that we need to analyze it calmly." Jing Huan was so depressed that he didn't analyze it himself.

"The four princes are dead, the three kings of the opposite sex have also been destroyed, and the Queen Mother is ill. Is there any connection between them?" Liu Xingzhu realized that what he said was too shocking and said in disbelief.

"You mean?" Jing Huan said.

Liu Xingzhu was shocked in his heart. Is this a political game? Is this... everything not just accidental?

Liu Xingzhu felt a chill running down his spine when he realized this.

Ancient people were not so stupid, ancient times were not what she thought. Liu Xingzhu recalled everything the Queen Mother said.

"You have your own strengths and you can build your own business empire."

On this night, the two girls grew up in this era to varying degrees.

……

Royal Academy.

"It's time for men to get married, and for women to get married. It's the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Marriage is a big deal. Please go home quickly." An old woman said.

Liu Zizhu and Liu Xingzhu looked at the old woman in front of them.

"Marriage?" Liu Xingzhu asked.

Liu Xingzhu was shocked physically and mentally, and fell down on the chair as if suffocated.

It was as if there were a pair of invisible hands, and an invisible force pinched Liu Xingzhu's throat so hard that Liu Xingzhu couldn't breathe.

Liu Xingzhu thought of Liu Yuezhu's arranged marriage.

Liu Xingzhu, who came to this era, had never thought about marriage. Now that his marriage was about to be arranged, he only felt scared. He only felt that there was an invisible black hole pulling him, so cruel and powerless...

No, no, I was born free. I don’t want to be arranged like this. My marriage should be my own choice.

"Business empire, you have your own strengths, you can build your own business empire." The Queen Mother's words echoed in my mind.

"You go down first, we already know." Liu Zizhu arranged.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

"No." Liu Xingzhu said.

Everyone was very puzzled when they saw Liu Xingzhu's appearance.

A Royal Academy debate took place.

"The first male should get married, and the first female should get married. Why is this so?" Liu Zizhu said.

"No, I don't want to. Why do I have to get married at this age when it is said that men should marry when they are older and women should marry when they are older?" Liu Xingzhu said.

Everyone was very surprised why Liu Xingzhu said such words.

"It has been like this since ancient times for women to marry when they are still young and then have children." Zheng Wanyi said.

All the ladies became shy after hearing this.

Liu Xingzhu thought that in the era I came from, women did not need to marry at a specific time. The only thing that could make them enter marriage was free will.

Instead of entering marriage early in this era, just to be able to use your uterus early.

I don’t want others to tell me at what age I should get married in this era. I can’t accept that.

"When you get married, you need to get married with the person you love, with the person you choose. This is what Sister Xingzhu means." Jing Huan said.

Jing Huan gave Liu Xingzhu a look, indicating that Xingzhu's sister Jing Huan understood you.

Han Jing'er's zombie-like appearance showed emotion.

"The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, how can they be so treasonous?" Tuoba Lanrou said timidly.

All the ladies looked in agreement.

"The ones your parents choose will be of good match, so they will have a worry-free life," Liu Zizhu said.

"My parents choose a servant to match my servant, a young lady to match my young master. If I choose the one I choose, I will definitely be deceived by that smooth-talking dude." Fang Hui said.

"Some of the ones chosen by parents sacrifice their daughters for the benefit of the family, and end up marrying poorly. Some of the ones chosen by their parents marry well and live a happy life." Han Jing'er said sadly.

"That's right. If your parents ask you to marry a lame person, why don't you marry one? If they ask you to marry a concubine and there are too many concubines in the family, why don't you marry one?" Jing Huan asked.

The crowd fell into contemplation.

"That's her life." Liang Shuer said.

"If your fate is bad, who can you blame?" Jiao Zhenzhen said.

The room was silent.

"Sister Wanyi, when you get married, you have to marry someone who is well-matched and likes you. Only then will you be happy throughout your life. Is that what Bingbing said?" Jia Bingbing said.

The crowd nodded.

Liang Mengzheng, who came to the Royal Academy, heard them talking about marriage, and thought in his heart, this is called fate, but others only say it is fate in order to make you obey the arrangements, because fate represents authority and you cannot resist.

The so-called marriage should be about choosing the one you like on the basis of being a good match.

As for whether to marry or not, when to marry, and to whom.

Only by surviving can we talk about freedom.

How can a person who depends on others for survival be free?

"The Queen Mother has arrived." Hongyu said.

When everyone heard that the Queen Mother was coming, they stopped talking and saluted.

"Everyone, get up. The Ai family is here today to ask you to find a way to create a device that can write the words not on the bamboo slips, but on a lighter place. Can Master's article be written faster?" Liang Mengdao.

"Paper, printing?" Liu Xingzhu thought in his heart.

People are puzzled.

Liu Xingzhu looked thoughtful.

Liang dreamed, Liu Xingzhu, don't let me down, the business empire is the only way you can save yourself.

The announcement of the draft spread throughout Daikin territory.

People gathered in front of the notice to watch.

"What's written on it?"

"Yeah, yeah, what's written on it?"

"For the draft, any woman of suitable age and the official daughter-in-law can enter the palace for the draft."

"This is the first time the emperor chooses a concubine."

"When you have a family and a career, after you have established a family and a career, after choosing a concubine, the emperor can legitimately rule as his own."

Chu Youxun was worried about Gongsun Mo and specially asked the Queen Mother to go to Xu County.

Xu County.

Chu Youhun looked at the anxious Gongsun Mo. Gongsun Mo, who had been criticized by everyone, protected Gongsun Mo behind him.

"The construction of this Grand Canal will also benefit the people." Chu Youxun shouted loudly.

Chu Youxun protected Gongsun Mo behind him, and Gongsun Mo was touched.

a few days ago.

Gongsun Mo looked at Chu Youxun who appeared in Xu County.

In the sea of ​​​​people, Chu Youxun can be seen at a glance, and the crowds of people have become the background.

"Gongsun Mo, you have seen it. These are the people you are protecting. They are all clamoring to kill you." Chu You Xun said.

Gongsun Mo said: "Gongsun Mo will still adhere to the principles of the common people in the world. They just don't understand yet. One day they will not complain about the Grand Canal."

"But, maybe you won't see that day again?" Chu You Xun said.

"What Gongsun Mo did was not for them to remember who Gongsun Mo was." Gongsun Mo.

Chu Youhun looked at Gongsun Mo seriously, and then showed a sad expression.

……

It was not until the officers and soldiers appeared that order was stabilized.

The sky was full of stars, dandelions were growing all over the earth, and under the moonlight Gongsun Mo listened to Chu Youxun's words.

"Gongsun Mo, I'm going to the draft."

"During the draft, you want to enter the palace." Gongsun Mo asked.

"Why? Why?" Gongsun Mo said.

"I want revenge..." Chu Youxun said.

"Do you really want to draft?"

"I really want revenge."

"Can you not..."

"Can you give up on the world?"

Gongsun Mo was speechless.

"You can't ignore your people, your world, and I can't help but take revenge. You have your own way to go, and I also have what I must do."

"Can't you really give up?"

"I really can't not take revenge."

The wind in the night sky gently blew the dandelion seeds and caused them to fly all over the sky.

Chu Youhun's firm gaze was as firm as the first time they met.

Chu You Xun's back was shrouded in dandelions all over the sky, and under the reflection of the stars, she was getting farther and farther away from Gong Sun Mo.

"Gongsun Mo, when I was young, I told myself that I must make the Chu family pay the price. Only revenge can support my survival. It is my only belief..."
