All questions?
That's not the case.
Every system has its own problems, but most of the existing problems can be solved.
As for the rest...
"Of course it's not all, but we can solve the problems that the old bureaucrats can't solve."
Su Yonglin also stood up and walked outside the study, looking at the clear sky outside.
"There is nothing difficult in the world, it's just that some people have artificially set up many difficulties because of their own selfish desires, making it impossible for people to solve some things that could have been easily solved. In the final analysis, desires are still the cause, so civilians can save themselves by restraining their desires, and leaders If you restrain your desires, you can save the world."
Xin Qiji looked at Su Yonglin's back and sighed.
"But there are so few people who can restrain their desires. Human nature is like this. How easy is it to restrain ourselves?"
"You'an, haven't you also restrained your desires?"
Su Yonglin turned around and walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "You could have enjoyed many, many things, but you gave up all of them. Just now I said that I wanted to end the concubine system, and you also laughed. Didn't you also restrain yourself? Do you stand with the people's desire?
And you have to know that if the people of the world abide by this rule, we, the people, must take the lead in abiding by it. All officials, including me, must abide by the monogamy system. It is not allowed to destroy, take concubines, or have children. Having more children and having fewer children is no longer certain. "
Xin Qiji was stunned for a moment.
He is not worried because he already has a son and a daughter, so he has both children, but...
If they were just monogamous, it would be difficult to ensure the continuation of the family if there were any problems between the husband and wife. He could not guarantee that his descendants could pass on the family smoothly and the family would continue to inherit.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a very serious topic, and more importantly...
"Ignore everything else, Chairman, regarding your question, if you only have one wife and not many sons, how can you ensure the continuation of your family in the future? If it cannot be guaranteed and your family has no branches, then..."
“If I don’t take the lead, how can I get others to follow me?”
Su Yonglin patted Xin Qiji on the shoulder: "The system I designed for the Ming Dynasty does not need a group of political families that can be passed on forever, nor a group of nobles who have been here for generations. What it needs is a steady stream of fresh blood, and a smooth flow of people from top to bottom. aisle.
In some places, there are indeed pits for each carrot. If one carrot family always occupies the pit, how can new carrots be allowed to come up? If new radishes cannot come in, how can the country maintain long-term stability? The upward channel is cut off, and the country is not far from destruction.
I will not do such a thing to put the entire country in danger for the selfishness of a group of people. You An, you should think about it. A political strongman with a high status not only has great power, but also a large group of children. , he can spread his children out and occupy more political and economic power.
And there can't be only one such big family, there may be many, many. Such many big families have divided all the main power of the upper class and blocked people's upward path. What kind of picture will it be? ?
That is really a picture that we cannot accept no matter what. Superior people will always be superior people, and cows and horses will always be cows and horses. What kind of situation would that be? The two Jin Dynasties are a lesson learned from the past, so this is a situation that I cannot agree with in any case. "
"So……"
"You'an, I know what you want to ask, but you have to know that this throne has never been what I am pursuing. Whether I am the emperor or not is not important to me."
"But apart from you..."
“That’s why I founded Revival.”
Su Yonglin shook his head: "I just want to use the Fuxing Association to gradually control the internal and external affairs of the government, and gradually transfer the emperor's power to the organizational structure of the Fuxing Association. By that time, there will be no need for the emperor to exist."
"this……"
Xin Qiji was stunned and hurriedly said: "You have never discussed this issue. No one thinks that the Renaissance can replace the imperial court."
"It's not about replacing, but about innovating. I really didn't say that, because it's actually very difficult to accomplish this before I clear all the obstacles. Only after I clear all the obstacles can this thing be successful. possible."
Su Yonglin smiled and said slowly: "When the entire structure of the Renaissance Association matures, a chairman of the Renaissance Association who can convince the public will naturally become the head of state. By that time, the emperor is no longer necessary.
I will gradually improve the internal selection mechanism of the Renaissance Association and put it into operation first. At that time, I will use my authority to supervise the completion of the first internal selection and come up with a rule that everyone can accept. Then I will keep an eye on this rule and abide by it. Hold on to it until I die. "
Xin Qiji looked at Su Yonglin in disbelief.
"Do you really not care about family inheritance? Do you really not intend to let your son inherit your position?"
"Without a good national situation, what's the point of my family no matter how good it is?"
Su Yonglin laughed for a while and said: "And my son may not be a person who is good at politics. If he is of Li Yu's temperament, do you think I would take such a risk to pass the throne to him? I'm afraid it's not necessary. The spring water of the river flows eastward.
As for me, I just try to live a little longer. I'm not even thirty yet. I want to live a little longer, until I'm seventy or eighty. I try to live a few more decades. This way, I can lay down this set of rules. Form a national consensus. "
"Chairman, I..."
"You'an, since I asked you to call me chairman, then I must live up to these two words. I can't live up to these two words."
Su Yonglin held Xin Qiji's hand: "It doesn't matter whether my family can be passed down. What's important is that the Ming Dynasty can be passed down and persisted. The longer it can persist, the better. The more chairman of our Renaissance Association can pass on, the better." good.
As for the chairman's surname, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether his surname is Su, Wang or Li... To be honest, the inheritance of incense is indeed very important and a good tradition, but no matter how well a family inherits it, it can't be Make a country stronger. "
Xin Qiji was speechless.
After a while, Xin Qiji seemed to have made up his mind and said firmly: "If this is your wish, then I will follow you and I will never regret it."
"Even if your family can't pass on because you don't have a son or even a daughter, wouldn't you mind?"
Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji with a smile.
Xin Qiji was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.
"Whether the family can be passed on is not something I can decide. Since ancient times, there are many people who have cut off the inheritance of the Zhongming Dingshi family. The descendants of future generations are unworthy and deserve to die. As long as I can live up to my ancestors, my country, and my family, It’s enough if I can live with you and have no regrets in my heart.”
"You'an, is this what you mean?"
"yes."
Su Yonglin stared at Xin Qiji for a long time, then smiled and said, "I believe you."
"This is my honor."
Xin Qiji's gaze was very firm and did not waver at all.
Su Yonglin suddenly became interested again and asked with a smile: "You'an, if one day I no longer stand with the people, I want to be the only emperor in the world. I don't want to be the chairman. I want to overthrow all of this." Fall, then will you stop me?"
