Zhao Feng nodded slightly. He had discovered this before when he was working in Zhao County.
Many businessmen traveling from north to south see no business opportunities at all and can only rely on temporary luck to make a fortune.
Many of the government officials who serve in the county government don’t even know the words!
It is even more impossible to expect these people to be familiar with the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.
The local tycoons only care about exploiting the common people and harming their neighbors, and have no sense of responsibility or action at all.
The vast majority of literati in the world study not to make the country better, but just to become officials as soon as possible and then make a lot of money!
This is a sign that a dynasty has become rotten to the core. In other words, if the Zhou Dynasty continues like this, it will probably perish soon!
The Great Zhou Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years, with a total of more than a dozen emperors. It stands to reason that it has reached the end of a dynasty.
Although the change of dynasties is the law of world affairs, neither Zhao Feng nor Zhou Zhen wanted to watch the Great Zhou Dynasty disappear.
Zhao Feng sighed softly. In fact, these things have little to do with him, because even if troubled times come, he can still live well with what he has now.
But who made him become sworn friends with the fourth prince Zhou Kang and the eldest prince Zhou Rui?
Even for the two of them, Zhao Feng could only try his best to see if he could pull the Zhou Dynasty back from this dynasty's defeat.
After Zhou Zhen sighed with emotion, he stared at Zhao Feng closely and said extremely seriously.
"Zhao Feng, I want to ask you something carefully!"
Seeing how serious Zhou Zhen was, Zhao Feng also nodded.
Zhou Zhen took a deep breath and asked extremely cautiously.
"How do you think the Zhou Dynasty should be reformed?"
When Zhao Feng heard this, his heart suddenly thumped.
He thought of some reformers in history, some from a relatively long time ago, such as Shang Yang, who through reforms made the Qin Dynasty a powerful country that swept the world and established great achievements for generations.
But he ended up with his car shattered and died.
More recent ones, such as Wang Anshi, did not end well in the end and ended up depressed, resigning and living in seclusion.
The path of reform is destined to be full of ups and downs and thorns, but if you want to solve the most fundamental issues of a dynasty, there is no such path as reform!
At this time, Zhou Zhen asked him this question, and Zhao Feng suddenly thought of the reform.
However, even though it is a reform, there must be a plan for how to change.
Zhao Feng laughed when he thought about this and said to Zhou Zhen.
"Since Your Majesty wants me to say it, then I will say it properly."
"I just said that what the dynasty lacks most now is available talents. In order to produce available talents without letting these talents be controlled by the four major families, a complete education system must be established."
"To gradually abandon the restrictions imposed by aristocratic families on the world's intellectuals, we must first reform the existing knowledge and education system."
"Gradually open some truly useful courses, slowly reduce the confinement and blockade of Confucianism on people's thoughts around the world, popularize basic education, and enable everyone to read and write!"
"At the same time, vigorously develop people's livelihood, such as the reform of farmland and other aspects, to further strengthen the construction of productivity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty can have enough food and warm clothes!"
After hearing these words from Zhao Feng, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Are there so many areas that need reform? This, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to implement!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly. He had long seen that Zhou Zhen was a person who had ideas for reform, but could never make up his mind.
Judging from the policies Zhou Zhen implemented before, Zhou Zhen did want to carry out reforms, but he did not have the determination to confront the old forces. It was precisely because he was restrained by the four major families that the reforms Zhou Zhen carried out before were Only implemented in a small number of areas.
At this time, Zhao Feng gave the reform method, and Zhou Zhen said this again, so Zhao Feng smiled and said to Zhou Zhen.
"Your Majesty may find it difficult to hear these things roughly, but in fact these things are not to be carried out at the same time, but to be done slowly according to the plan."
"Your Majesty, please give me some time to think carefully. After I come up with it, I will submit this plan to Your Majesty."
Zhou Zhen nodded slightly, exhaled slowly and said.
"Okay, then I will wait for your good news."
Zhao Feng bowed his hands before respectfully leaving.
After Zhao Feng left, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but look at the memorial in front of him.
This memorial was jointly sent by Zhou Kang and Zhou Rui. It said very sincerely that if you want the Great Zhou Dynasty to change and become stronger, you must reuse Zhao Feng. I believe Zhao Feng's words.
Zhou Zhen took a deep breath and said slowly.
"I hope that I believe that this Zhao Feng can change the current situation of the Zhou Dynasty!"
After Zhao Feng left the Imperial Study Room, he went directly to the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, sat at his desk, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhen asked himself to come up with a solution. Wouldn't this make things difficult for him?
To put it bluntly, Zhao Feng is just a member of Zhongshushe now. Although his status seems to be very important in the entire court, it is actually a dispensable position. Otherwise, Zhongshusheren would not have the position before. It's been empty for so long.
If the methods I proposed could be implemented directly, it would be fine, but if it were to go to the political council hall and let officials from the three provinces discuss it, then report it to the emperor, and finally let people from the six ministries below implement it, I'm afraid it would be a problem. It's going to be a big discount.
Zhao Feng thought like this and looked out that it was getting late, so he planned to go out to have a meal nearby.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people ate three meals a day, but Zhao Feng's habit could not be changed easily.
After finding a nearby tavern, Zhao Feng ordered a few side dishes and began to think while eating.
Judging from the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the steps are too big, the existing stability will easily collapse.
So we had to do it slowly. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea and silently made up his mind.
After returning to the Yamen after dinner, Zhao Feng took out the memorial and wrote down the plan in detail.
Zhao Feng has been busy with this matter for the past two days, while Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu began to look for a suitable location to do business.
Zhao Feng couldn't control the two of them and let them fiddle with it. They were both pretty good at doing business anyway.
On the second night, Zhao Feng was still writing these things, but on the other side, someone was worried.
