Chapter 86 86
Sun Bin actually wants to support his son to ascend to the throne, but his heart is still here in Qi State, his son is not a weapon, he knows it well, a person who cares about Qi Country does not dare to joke about the future of Qi Country and recommend a mediocre talent.
Then Wei Dexian told him about Sun Bin stationed in Jiaodong, and Sun Bin heard it: "Chen, I'm ready to leave for Jiaodong!" ”
"When you arrive in Jiaodong, where will the national pillar master enjoy it!" Wei Dexian said to Sun Bin.
Sun Bin smiled helplessly, he is now in the prime of life, and it is actually very early to say that he can enjoy it, and he can stay in this position for no less than ten years, but his legs have been broken, and he has to retreat to the second line.
But fortunately, Qi Xiaobai did not directly dismiss him and let him go home to retire, after all, now Qi is in need of talents, this Sun Bin, as the master of the national pillar, still has two brushes, and he sent him home directly, Qi Xiaobai is still reluctant.
In the study, Qi Xiaobai told Guan Zhong about his dissatisfaction with the nobles, and at the same time he also proposed the imperial examination system, hoping to implement it.
"The imperial examination system you said is indeed very advanced, but you are harming the interests of the nobles, the nobles will not be convinced, and the nobles will rebel against you at that time, and when civil strife breaks out in the Qi country, talk about peace and hegemony in Kyushu?" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
"You can reform, but in this era, reform will have the risk of civil strife, civil strife, the national strength will be weak, if other countries take advantage of the weakness, what should I do in the country?" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.
"Isn't there a reform in other countries? Only reform can become stronger! Qi Xiaobai said to Guan Zhong.
"You're right, this reform may make the Qi country stronger in the future, but that's the future, it will take many years for him to do it, other countries do have reforms, and their reforms may damage the interests of the nobles, but they don't directly deprive the nobles of their rights and interests like you!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai's idea is to implement the imperial examination system in the future, and in the future, the selection of officials can only be selected in the imperial examination system, and will not be promoted by the nobles, which is basically the abolition of the aristocratic class in disguise.
When the nobles have to be selected through the imperial examination, how many of their descendants dare to guarantee that they will pass the examination completely? Maybe Zhang Tianshang is now a nobleman and is the head of the court, but his son did not pass the imperial examination and directly became a commoner again......
Qi Xiaobai's idea was in Guan Zhong's eyes, if it was implemented, it would be 100% that a civil war would break out, so he directly vetoed it.
"This idea of yours can be implemented in the future, but definitely not now, if you implement it now, it will be ruined!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
Looking at Guan Zhong's fierce opposition, Qi Xiaobai didn't know what he was talking about, if even Guan Zhong didn't support it, it would be impossible for this reform to be implemented.
"Xiaobai, I know that you can't get used to seeing the rights and interests of the nobles too big, and you have seen a lot of dark things, but now we have to rely on the nobles to fight for us to dominate Kyushu, you must know that the talents of this Qi country are all in the hands of the nobles!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
If the aristocracy wants to develop, they also need talents, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the talents of their own families, so they accept customers widely.
The so-called protégés are those who think they are talented, they will take refuge in the nobles, do things for them, if the methods they say are effective, the nobles will give them very rich rewards, and will even recommend them to become officials, so that they can become new nobles.
Qi Xiaobai didn't say anything, Qi Xiaobai also knew about the aristocratic guest system, basically the talents of the Qi country were controlled by the nobles.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai also thought about accepting talented people from all over the world, so he thought of the imperial examination and selected from it.
"The affairs of the aristocracy, let's stop here first, but if you really don't like the aristocratic class, you can consider considering cultivating the capitalist class!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi is a person with status in the capitalist class in Kyushu, except for the Song State, and in other countries they are all Shinong businessmen, and the so-called capitalist class is businessmen, and other countries actually look down on businessmen.
After all, other countries are not close to the sea and cannot do overseas trade, and the geographical location of many vassal states is not a place accessible from all directions, so it is impossible to do business big, so the merchant capitalist class cannot develop.
But Qi is different, the east is close to the sea, which can do overseas trade, and the west is connected to the commercial country of Song, which gives Qi a great opportunity to play the capital class.
"Use the capitalist class to counter the aristocratic class, if the forces of the two sides are balanced, then the public imperial examination system may not be impossible to implement!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
When the capitalist class develops, they must want to make a difference in politics, although there are many official positions in the Qi State that can be bought, but the official positions in the important political inner circle are controlled by the aristocracy, how can they easily buy these positions to you merchants?
Therefore, when the capitalist class develops, Qi Xiaobai's imperial examination system, which is the only opportunity for the capitalist class to enter the political inner circle, will definitely support it.
Therefore, Guan Zhong told Qi Xiaobai that if he really wanted to reform, he had to develop this capitalist class and support the capitalist class, after all, the current capitalist class was not the opponent of the aristocratic class.
Of course, when the advantage of the capitalist class is greater than that of the aristocratic class, it is necessary to support the aristocratic class, after all, the aristocratic class is an old political party, and they are a group surrounded by monarchs.
The state became a parliamentary system, the monarch had no real power, and the entire inner circle of the country was controlled by the capitalist class......
In fact, the monarch of the Song State vigorously promoted the capitalist class and suppressed the aristocratic class, but later it got out of control, and the aristocratic class was incapable of confronting the capitalist class, and finally became like this.
So this kind of political game between the two classes, Guan Zhong didn't want Qi Xiaobai to use it so early, after all, he was still young, he just gave Qi Xiaobai such a suggestion, but he wouldn't let Qi Xiaobai do it so quickly.
He also has his long-cherished wish, that is, to help Qi dominate, he Guan Zhong is a politician, but he is not keen on the domestic politics of Qi, he is keen on this international politics between the vassal states, there will be opportunities in the future, he hopes to go to the world, world politics!
There is a certain conflict between Qi Xiaobai's ideas and Guan Zhong's ideas, on the road to Qi hegemony, Guan Zhong's first use is these aristocratic classes!
