But the problem is that the Tongxin people are too young. Everyone will feel angry when they see these little girls using the power of the saints to condescendingly suppress the local veterans.
This is not only a matter of face, but also a power struggle.
Power will only transfer, not disappear. When a power vacuum occurs, someone will definitely fill it.
Just because the local heroes are willing to give up part of their power and return it to the saints does not mean that they are happy to see those yellow-haired girls from Tongxinzhong filling this gap and squeezing their own power space.
This is the contradiction of human nature. It is against the people of the same mind and not against the saints. But if the saint does not rely on the people who share the same mind, he will not be able to regain his power.
How many nails can one person drive? The Saint also needs the emerging Wu family group to help him regain power.
Many seemingly solvable knots are still unable to extricate themselves because of the entanglement of human nature.
Lin Xinsheng shook his head.
"Leaving aside your reluctance, there is nothing you can do to resist the infiltration of Spoelstra Selection.
As I just said in front of the saint, if the samurai family wants a way out, Shiba selects the best of the best, and Ji warriors flock to it.
No matter the martial arts families in the world or the Ji warriors of the Shiba family, they are all staring at Shiba's preparation.
If you block someone else's path to progress, that's enmity. If you don't stop it, the Tongxin Secretariat will penetrate deeper and deeper into the local area until the local area is unable to resist.
This is the principle of boiling a frog in warm water.
But once Spoelstra chooses to expand and reorganize, it will be another story. "
Maeda and Otani Yoshitsugi looked at each other. Both of them had serious eyes and were very interested in continuing to listen.
After looking at the porch behind him, not far away was the courtyard where the saint was stationed, Maeda said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, let's stop hanging around here and come to my place to have a good chat.
Otani-hime, please come and sit with us. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let’s chat together. "
Lin Xinsheng bowed his hands to indicate that guests were welcome, Otani Yoshitsugi smiled and bowed slightly, and the three of them walked together to Maeda Yoshi's residence.
This place is close to the saint's holy drive, and there are many people on the left and right, so it is not a place for detailed discussion.
———
The three girls sat down indoors. Lin Xinsheng first asked something that made it difficult for him to settle down.
"Maeda-sama, do you think the saint is willing to improve Shiba selection according to my suggestions?"
Maeda smiled.
"If I hadn't been convinced that the saint was moved by your words, I wouldn't have come to you in such a hurry to ask for punishment.
Although the saint is unparalleled in battle and invincible in the world, his temperament does not like to use weapons too much. If your method can reduce the number of killings and make the world unite and surrender to Si Bo, the saint will definitely be moved. "
Lin Xinsheng was overjoyed and nodded.
"It's true. The saint is compassionate and can't bear the loss of life. Master Maeda's words made me enlightened."
Maeda Yoshiyoshi had followed Shiba Yigen for a long time, and he understood the nature of the saint best. Lin Xinsheng was awakened by her words, and he instantly put aside his worries about gains and losses.
Shiba Yiyin is a man who is different from those old ladies like Samurai Ji, who are like murderers. He is very kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
In the view of the Wu family, this may not be an advantage, but the saint's character is recognized by everyone as noble, his reputation is strong, and he is beyond reproach.
If Sibo Selection could be used to bribe the martial arts families in the world and unify the world with less killing, other famous martial arts families might not be willing to spend this wasted money, but the saint would definitely be willing to give it a try.
As soon as his worries were gone, Lin Xinsheng was in a good mood, but Maeda frowned.
"I brought you here because I want you to explain clearly why Spoelstra's selection and restructuring is beneficial to me.
It's nice of you to ask me about it instead. It's really unreasonable! If you don't explain the right and wrong today, don't even think about walking out of this door again! "
Seeing Maeda pretending to be indignant, Lin Xinsheng laughed and bowed.
"I will not disappoint Lord Maeda, today we will explain the reason behind this.
As Mr. Maeda said before, if Shiba's choice is not changed, you will not be able to resist the will of the saint. You can only be infiltrated and eaten away by the like-minded people little by little. Even if you are angry, there is nothing you can do.
Because Shiba selection is the best way out for Ji Jiji, who doesn’t love hardcore crops? You can't block other people's progress, right?
But if Si Bo selects and reorganizes the system and targets martial arts families all over the world, the nature will be different.
Once Siba's selection, which was originally recommended by three Siba, became a public imperial examination for the whole country, it would inevitably face two problems.
First, how can we protect the interests of the Shiba family’s samurai from the restructuring of Shiba’s selection process?
Sibo's selection was originally an internal promotion of the Sibo family. When Sibo established the martial arts family, three were promoted to one, and the good news did not go to outsiders. If it were to be made open to the outside world, it would definitely hurt the interests of the Sibo retainers.
The saint is wise and will never fail to consider the sentiments of the Ji warriors within the Shiba family. He will definitely have reservations and provide certain preferential policies internally.
No matter how this preferential policy is implemented, it will ultimately have to be negotiated with Spurring, the three places.
Compared with the current passive situation of letting Si Bo select unconditionally mixed with sand, no matter how it is changed in the future, powerful local martial artists will definitely have a proactive say.
As a big shot in the Kinki Shiba Territory, you can't let others lead you by the nose easily. You have to bargain a bit, right? "
Maeda and Otani Yoshitsugi looked at each other and nodded.
Lin Xinsheng is right. The saint's governance has always been gentle, and there are few arbitrary and domineering measures like Oda Nobunaga.
Especially for domestic affairs, we must find ways to reach the greatest possible consensus to avoid embarrassing disputes in the future.
The Shiba selection reform opened a gap to the outside world and allowed outsiders to participate in the examination. It must also be restricted to give certain preferential treatment to the Shiba family warriors and eliminate dissatisfaction in the family.
Maeda asked.
"What kind of room for bargaining does Mr. Lin think the local government has?"
Lin Xinsheng smiled.
“The least likely way to arouse the resentment of saints is to restrict foreign warriors through household registration.
The financial pressure on Spoelstra's selection and restructuring is too great. It cannot be done in one step and directly facing the whole world. It must first be liberalized on a pilot basis.
If the three major Spurrings want to protect their own interests, the best way is to restrict the household registration of applicants. If local martial artists from non-three major Spurlings apply for the Splendid Selection, the number of admissions must be very small. "
Maeda was stunned for a moment.
“What benefits does this bring to the local government by restricting household registration?
Now it's three-to-one, and Spoelstra's family has eaten up Spo's preparation. After the restructuring, even if there are household registration restrictions on foreign Ji warriors, part of the admission quota will still be lost, making the local area unprofitable. "
Lin Xinsheng shook his head.
“Local governments can try to link real estate with household registration. I heard that Mr. Takada of Sakai Port is running Shiba Real Estate, which is also in full swing.
Lord Takada purchased land from the castle town of Kinki's Shiba Territory, and then sold it to the samurai warriors of the outer domain, promising to protect their property rights so that the buyers who failed in the struggle would have a place to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
Since the Kinki Shiba leader is willing to sell land through Lord Takada, why not simply sell the household registration himself and pay a few quotas for each Shiba selection to give the wealthy Waihan Princess samurai a shortcut to the south.
The foreign warriors who have been admitted to the official establishment will naturally be tightly tied to the Sibo territory where their household registration is. Even if the concentric people want to use them to infiltrate the place, the effect will be very poor.
Because the interests of these people have been deeply tied up in the local area. They have to rely on real estate to support themselves and take real estate exams. How can they work together with the same people to deal with their own people in the local area?
As for the amount of selling household registration, it is better to learn Takada-sama's auction method, increase local income as much as possible, subsidize Shiba's own martial arts family, and alleviate the dissatisfaction caused by Shiba's selection and reform.
I believe that saints will also understand and support this approach of reducing conflicts and frictions. "
Maeda nodded slowly while thinking.
User registration is bound to real estate, which means that local education and pension rights are bound. Coupled with the benefits compiled by Sibo, the long-term benefits are huge.
The bound Hime Samurai naturally had to consider more of the future, and could not just follow the Kamou Clan and turn around to deal with other places in a flash of enthusiasm.
Even if Ji Ji doesn't consider himself, he still has to consider the education and pension of the next generation. Naturally, he will subconsciously consider local interests and will not be led by the same group.
From a saint's point of view, household registration bundling can bring more income to the local government, subsidize the local martial arts families in Sibo who have suffered losses due to Sibo's selection, and alleviate their dissatisfaction.
As for those who bought the household registration, they hoped that it would be easier for them to pass the Sibo selection and be admitted to the Sibo establishment. Naturally, these foreign warriors had rich families and did not care about spending more money on food and services.
Saints, Spur leaders, and outsiders have all benefited, and all three parties will be satisfied. It can be called a win-win-win situation.
Maeda couldn't help but applaud.
"What a conspiracy to exchange household registration for qualifications, it is indeed a good idea.
So, what about the second one? "
Lin Xinsheng smiled.
"Secondly, it is your personal advantage.
Guan Ziyun: It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Education is never something that happens overnight, but is a process of continuous investment.
If a saint is determined to reform the Sibo Selection System, martial arts families all over the world will definitely flock to it, but how many people in the island country can understand the Confucian classics added in this reform?
The Four Books and Five Classics had to be imported from China, and local people had to be hired to make plates and print them. Once the books were available, they still needed teachers to teach them. How could it be easier if there were so many things involved?
I dare to assert that the first ten years of Spoelstra's selection must be a process from easy to difficult. The earlier the exam, the simpler it is and easier to pass, and whoever masters the knowledge will be one step ahead.
Lord Maeda, you are the most educated person among Shiba's retainers. You also have a wide circle of friends in Kyoto's literary world, and you have made numerous friends with literati.
You have received real confidence in Spoelstra's selection and restructuring at the first time. Whether you calculate mentally or not, you are one step ahead of others, or even a few steps are not difficult.
If you are interested in collecting reprints and prints of Confucian classics and contacting Confucian scholars and professors for their studies, I would like to introduce you to one or two. Can you take a look? "
The more Maeda listened, the happier he became, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
She likes culture, but was always dismissed by her mother as not doing her job properly. This time, her interest in culture turned out to be her advantage, which was really unexpected.
The education of the Wu family does not emphasize martial arts over literature, but the liberal arts focus on practical matters, such as writing, calculation, geography, water conservancy, etc. that are closely related to the rule of the Wu family.
In the impoverished society of the Wu family, all learning must be targeted and must be skills that will be useful in the future.
Most samurai families do not have extra resources to waste on learning knowledge that has nothing to do with territory management or military warfare, such as waka, sarugaku, and tea ceremony.
Only a small number of well-off high-level samurai, such as Imagawa Clan, Maeda Benefit, etc., would learn these cultures out of personal hobbies or to win over the power of the temple.
Maeda Yoshida has been deviant since he was a child. He is a famous admirer in Owari country and is not a traditional martial artist.
Iga country is close to the Kyoto cultural circle and the Nara cultural circle, and is considered to be the area with the most prosperous culture of the island country.
Maeda Yoshida was one of the most important ministers of the Shiba family, a well-known general, and she was willing to spend money to hold cultural events. The intellectuals in Nara, Kyoto, were naturally willing to interact with her more.
Lin Xinsheng himself actually got acquainted with Maeda in this circle.
If Shiba Selection really wants to join the Confucian classics, transform the world's martial arts, and cultivate a new philosophy of the martial arts that respects the saints, rejects barbarians, and is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, Maeda's interests will definitely come first.
In the island country, whether it is Confucian classic books or intellectuals who study Confucian culture, most of them are in the circle of Kyoto and Nara.
In other words, the right to speak of Confucian culture lies in the circle with which Maeda’s interests are most familiar.
Lin Xinsheng was a rich scholar and a master of Zhu Xi studies in the island country. He was highly respected in the Confucian circle. With her help in introducing him, the few Confucian scholars in the island country would definitely be willing to help Maeda's interests.
The teaching materials and teachers are all ready-made, and they are the rarest and most powerful resources in the island country.
The restructuring chosen by Shiba is not only harmless to Maeda's interests, but is a good opportunity to further expand her influence.
Once the Shiba selection begins to restructure, Iga country in the Kinki Shiba region will definitely be among the pilots.
If the territory belonging to the Iga Maeda family has a much higher pass rate in Shiba selection than other areas, it will become a favorite in the eyes of samurai families all over the world.
The Shiba Estate in Iga Ueno Castle will become a school district building, and the private school run by the Iga Maeda family will become a key feudal school.
From then on, Maeda's benefit was not only to become famous all over the world through his martial arts, but also to make friends with knowledgeable people all over the world through his literary reputation, and to cultivate martial artists of the Shiba system who were close to him.
The first-mover advantage of this educational resource made Maeda’s palms sweat after he figured it out, and he was extremely excited.
She subconsciously glanced at Otani Yoshitsugi, who was sitting quietly beside her, and smiled.
"According to Mr. Lin's auspicious words, if one day the Iga Maeda family really has a literary reputation and is famous throughout the world, I, Maeda, will never forget Mr. today's advice.
Ohtani-hime, you and I share the same love as sisters. If I have my share, I will naturally not forget your share. "
Otani Yoshitsugi smiled slightly and bowed to express his thanks. It was good to be the second child without any competition. The boss had to give the second child a share of the meat.
The worst thing is that samurai warriors like Takatora Toudo, who are ambitious, always think about starting their own business. Starting a business is hard! Especially during an economic downturn, don’t be impulsive!
Not to mention Otani Yoshitsugi's mentality is as stable as an old dog, Lin Xinsheng can't help but smile.
She dared to go out of her way at Maeda's tea party, so naturally she had already thought about how to appease Maeda's interests.
Once the Sibo Selection is really reformed, the Confucian students who were originally miserable in the island country will immediately become a scarce top-level educational resource.
As a master of Zhu Xi studies, the Confucian scholar resources in the hands of Lin Xinsheng became a good bargaining chip for all parties.
She will also make good use of these bargaining chips to bargain with the Wu family forces and protect the development and growth of Confucianism in the island country.
The game in the cultural circle involves killing people without blood, and its cruelty may not be less than that of the military conquests.
After the collapse of Shintoism, Buddhist sects unified the cultural circle of the island country for two hundred years. It is not that easy for Confucianism to emerge as a new force and catch up from behind.
Let's fight, let's fight, life will only last a hundred years, and there will always be a fight in life.
