Chapter 30 30
It was late at night.
Qi Xiaobai is still looking at the excerpts, Wei Dexian is serving on the side, most of these excerpts are the same, nothing more than how much tax is reported, or what needs to be built in a certain place, hoping to allocate funds, and then this official reports that official, and the content of the report is basically some small things in life.
Qi Xiaobai who allocated funds for construction basically denied it, because none of these construction things were of practical significance, either to build a temple for a certain temple, and some people even proposed to allocate funds to Qi Xiaobai to set up a shrine and call him a holy prince or something......
This sycophant is so exaggerated, Qi Xiaobai wants to laugh, how long has he just been in power, how can He De? Can it be called a Father? What is the power to erect an shrine for oneself to be worshipped?
This self-knowledge Qi Xiaobai still has, although Qi Xiaobai sat in the position of the Duke of Qi, but he didn't have any strength at all, completely relying on Guan Zhong, as for saying that his governance of the country is comparable to Emperor Wen or something, it is just a fart, he has been in the wine for a month, where is he going to govern the country?
Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian: "How do you say these people are Shangguan?" Difficulty: Can you become an official by slipping a whisker and shooting a horse? This one who set up an ancestral hall for me, I think he is still a long man of a place, give me an ancestral hall, how can I be virtuous? If they have time to think about this, they might as well think about how to do what they have at hand! ”
"These people are all children of the family, and the people of the family brought them up, or they were selected ......by a certain landlord who spent money to find someone to elect them," Wei Dexian said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi does not have an advanced imperial examination system, their officials are basically the children of a family, the father brings the younger brother or son, that is, the hereditary official system, the family has been an official for generations, or a large landowner who does business, a big businessman gives a sum of money to the official of a certain family, and he can also sit on the official position, as for the commoners who want to be officials, they have to be the doormen of a certain noble, and they are recommended by the nobles.
After Qi Xiaobai heard Wei Dexian's words, he wanted to reform, but Qi Xiaobai quickly interrupted this idea, how easy is it to reform? This system is deeply entrenched, and if you want to reform it, you have to shed blood.
With Qi Xiaobai's current ability, he can't carry out reforms, but Qi Xiaobai has the idea of reform in his heart, and he wants to wait for Guan Zhong to come back and discuss with Guan Zhong!
At this time, Liu Ruoqing walked in with a bowl of chicken soup, Wei Dexian just wanted to say to Qi Xiaobai, Liu Ruoqing is here, but Liu Ruoqing sighed, and then let Wei Dexian leave quietly, she walked over and stood beside Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai looked at the next fold seriously at this time, while Liu Ruoqing waited for Qi Xiaobai quietly with chicken soup on the side.
She thought that Qi Xiaobai was playing with the dancers in the main hall again and forgot the time, but when she heard that a eunuch said that Qi Xiaobai was reading the excerpts, she went to boil a bowl of chicken soup and came over to see Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai felt a little tired, he looked at the fold in his hand, and felt that Qi Guo's problems were not ordinary.
This excerpt is a minister who reported a military general, saying that the military general relied on himself to be a member of a certain family, robbed a woman on the street, and killed someone's husband, but this military general was a child of a family, and the person who killed was a civilian, and the government made the military general lose some money, and the matter was basically over, and the woman who was robbed was still taken to the home by the military general to be humiliated, and the woman committed suicide the next day and threw it outside.
This official really couldn't stand it anymore, so he played it, but Qi Xiaobai couldn't say anything about this matter, because the Zhou Empire's feudal system made the hierarchy of the countries deep-rooted.
The military generals are considered nobles as the children of the family, and the person killed is a commoner, belonging to the lower class, and the nobleman killing a commoner is a fine in the law of Qi State......
However, this money is nothing in the eyes of the nobles, but the dead are a great harm to the common people's families.
As mentioned in this excerpt, the man in the family was killed, the woman committed suicide, leaving only two lonely old people, what should they do with their lives?
Qi Xiaobai sighed, looked up, and saw Liu Ruoqing by his side: "You're here!" ”
Liu Ruoqing nodded: "This is chicken soup for you, are you tired?" ”
Qi Xiaobai nodded, and gave the excerpt to Liu Ruoqing: "Tell me if there is a big problem with the system of our Qi country?" ”
After reading it, Liu Ruoqing said: "Well, there is a big problem, but this is the system set by the ancestors, and there is no way!" ”
"Can't the system set by our ancestors be changed? Ancestors are also human beings, they will also make mistakes, if they know that the law they have set and this kind of thing happens, they will definitely want to change it! Qi Xiaobai said to Liu Ruoqing.
"You want to change the system?" Liu Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.
"I don't just want to change this system, I also have to change many unreasonable systems in the Qi country, these officials are actually inherited by the family hereditary, or bought, how can this kind of official be a good official?" Qi Xiaobai said indignantly.
"It's the same with other countries!" Liu Ruoqing looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
It is true that this matter of Qi is also happening in other vassal states, and the official system of Qi is also selected in this way by other countries.
"The country of Qi needs to be strong, and the country of Qi must be reformed!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly.
If he first heard Wei Dexian's talk about the hereditary official system, Qi Xiaobai had the idea of reform, but after seeing the excerpt of this minister, Qi Xiaobai strengthened his idea of reform, and he felt that the Qi country needed a reform, a reform of the family, so as to make the Qi country stronger.
But Qi Xiaobai also knows how easy it is to reform? There will be many chain reactions of reform, ranging from the fact that the power of the country will be greatly weakened in the early days, and the large one that may cause the families to rebel.
Therefore, although Qi Xiaobai wanted to reform, he did not immediately clamore for a meeting tomorrow to carry out a major rectification, he wanted to discuss with Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya and listen to their opinions.
If it weren't for Guan Zhong and Uncle Bao, Qi Xiaobai would be full of enthusiasm, and he knew that he couldn't do it, and he might even die on the road of reform if he was not careful.
This is Qi Xiaobai's self-knowledge, he knows how many catties and taels he has, and he knows how much he is capable of now and what he can do.
Liu Ruoqing looked at Qi Xiaobai, she didn't say anything, and after Qi Xiaobai sighed again, Liu Ruoqing handed the chicken soup to Qi Xiaobai: "Drink it." ”
Qi Xiaobai took the chicken soup and sniffed it: "It's so fragrant, you made it yourself?" ”
Liu Ruoqing nodded: "This is what my mother taught me to do before!" ”
"Mother-in-law, I have to visit my mother-in-law another day......" After Qi Xiaobai finished saying this, he found that Liu Ruoqing's face was not very good, he suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing, looking at Liu Ruoqing's face, he guessed that Liu Ruoqing's mother had ......
Qi Xiaobai hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I said something sad about you, I didn't mean it just now!" ”
Liu Ruoqing waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, it's just that my mother and father and the brothers in the family died unjustly!" ”
After Liu Ruoqing was framed by Wang Meiji, her family was also implicated, because Liu Ruoqing was pregnant and was not killed, but her family was tragically wiped out and did not leave a single living mouth.
Qi Xiaobai has also integrated into the memory of the dead Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and also thought of the situation of Liu Ruoqing's family, he looked at Liu Ruoqing: "I will rehabilitate your family!" ”
