Li Si, Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang, Prime Minister of South Korea, Zhuang Funian, Yan Lu, Zhang Cang, Mao Heng, Fu Qiubo, Lu Jia, Gongsun Ni, Xiao He, Chen Ping...
Some of these twenty people were disciples of Xunzi.
Some were Confucians who came to support Xunzi.
Some are talents discovered through various channels and who can be trusted by him.
They have one thing in common.
That is, they all have great talents.
There are only some here, and more are scattered throughout Black Dragon City.
As the most famous and prestigious Confucian under the command of Black Dragon City, Xunzi's appeal is extremely strong.
In half a year, even if he could only do it secretly, he had gathered a large number of powerful people.
"The city lord has issued an order to establish a Ministry of Culture and Arts to take charge of taxation and academy affairs.
I am the minister and Master Zhang is the deputy minister. "Xunzi glanced at everyone and said solemnly.
The eyes of the people present flickered, either heavy, excited, or serious.
They have people who want their future and rights.
Some people do it for the sake of their hearts.
Some people do it for the love of master and disciple.
But their purpose is the same, to do this well.
"No need to say more nonsense, I intend to immediately distribute the new tax regulations to all countries and forces for their implementation." Xunzi said vigorously and resolutely.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
“Teacher, I think this disciple should not be impatient.
Expanding the taxation of various countries and forces is undoubtedly cutting their flesh.
Directly issuing orders will not work, and all parties will only obey and disobey.
Because there are many interest groups under them, even if their senior officials are willing, it will be difficult to implement the new tax regulations.
This is also equivalent to a reform for them.
The disciple believes that it is better to select a place for experimental implementation.
Once there are good results, the city lord will be delighted and will support us even more.
At that time, all parties will have no reason to refuse. "Li Si was the first to say solemnly.
Most of the others nodded.
They knew the difficulty of this matter, and Li Si's words were exactly what they thought.
There's no rush.
"You are right." Xunzi nodded and said seriously: "But we don't have that much time."
Li Si frowned, as if he thought of something, and his face became heavier.
“It is indeed safer to select one place for experimental implementation. If there are any problems, we can correct them in time and learn from them.
But how long will that take?
Selecting a place for experimental implementation will take at least three years to get results.
It may not be possible to implement it everywhere in ten years.
There is also the academy. The academy is also cutting their flesh. The affairs of the academy cannot be delayed at all.
Not to mention that the longer the time goes by, the more things will change.
Do you think Black Dragon City can wait several years, or even ten years? Xunzi said in a deep voice.
Everyone was shocked.
"Uncle Master, taxation and college matters are important matters, and more than ten years are just normal." Fu Nian frowned and said.
“It’s indeed unusual, but the city lord can’t wait.
In a time of great strife, expansion is the most important thing.
A few years have been his maximum tolerance.
After the war, many things changed, and it became even more difficult to implement taxes and colleges.
We can't bet on what will happen then, we can only bet on now. "Xunzi said firmly.
Everyone was thoughtful and speechless.
This makes things even more difficult.
"Don't worry too much." Xunzi held his hand and said with a rare smile: "There are many problems in going all-out and pressing forward with all our strength, but we also have greater advantages.
Black Dragon City is, after all, the City Lord's Black Dragon City.
This is our biggest advantage.
When the city lord supports us, no one dares to resist.
The stronger we are, the more those people will back off.
As long as we are capable enough and seize the opportunity, we will be able to carry the city lord's momentum and succeed in one fell swoop. "
Everyone's eyes flickered, not knowing what they were thinking.
Xunzi didn't give them any more time to think and started issuing orders directly.
At the same time, in the study, Li Daoqiang curled his lips.
Does this old man know that he is eavesdropping? No, listening.
He still sounds as nice as ever.
After listening for a while, it was no different from the plan Xunzi gave him, and then he looked away.
This old man understands him, so let him do it.
the next day.
Xunzi wrote to the Administrative Palace to carry out tax reforms and establish colleges for all the forces under Black Dragon City.
Huang Xuemei immediately gave the approval and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports took the lead and implemented it on the same day.
Immediately, the contents of the two incidents spread, like thunder in the clear sky, shocking countless people.
"Abolish the Ding tax and collect taxes based on land. Only those with land will collect taxes. The more land, the more taxes will be collected.
There is also business tax, which is a disaster for big businessmen.
What is Xun Kuang going to do? How dare he?
He is against everyone. "
"Haha, why doesn't he dare? Who doesn't know his bad temper?
There is also this academy, which is divided into civil and military academies. Centered on all counties in the Black Dragon City area, civil and military academies are established to recruit students free of charge.
Huh, he is trying to pull out all the power and cut off the roots of all forces. "
"Xun Kuang is seeking death. He is leading Confucianism to seek death."
"He does not represent the entire Confucianism. Many Confucians simply do not recognize him as a sage."
"Send this news to all parties quickly. I want to see what he can do?"
"No, we can't interfere. Xun Kuang dares to do this only because the city lord is standing behind him.
We can't interfere. "
"You are right, but if we don't interfere, there will be no difference.
Not to mention the various forces, I am afraid that there are countless people in this Black Dragon City who want to kill Xun Kuang. "
·····
In Black Dragon City, there were first waves of frightened sounds.
And spread to all places as quickly as possible.
Ming dynasty.
Emperor Ming looked at the contents of the two events in silence.
Suddenly, he smiled.
The smile was a bit playful and unrestrained.
"Interesting, really interesting."
Da Qin.
After Fusu frowned and listened, he said without much hesitation: "Xunzi personally presided over it and it was recognized by the city lord. It must be something that benefits the country and the people.
Sirs, please be prepared. Once the official document is issued, I, the Qin Dynasty, will comply with it. "
In the main hall, many ministers below had ugly expressions and secretly looked upward.
Some people suspected that Fusu might have known about it for a long time.
After all, everyone knows about Fusu’s relationship with Confucianism.
If Xunzi wanted to do this earth-shattering thing, would he not win over this good supporter in advance?
Unfortunately, although they were unwilling, they did not dare to resist.
At least I dare not object openly.
"only."
The ministers responded.
(The word count is a bit low, and will soon be restored to 3,000.)
