Zhang Beichen looked at Xuannio. He had already learned from Jing Ping the process of determining national policy.
First, everyone discusses and formulates the national policy, and then identifies it with the king and the black bird. If the national policy can enhance the national destiny, heaven and earth will give birth to visions, bring down auspiciousness, and enhance the national destiny of Qin.
If not, there would be no vision. However, it is very difficult to strengthen a country with national policies. In most cases, in order to avoid changes, the new monarch will inherit the previous national policies. In this way, although there will be no surprises, there will be no big mistakes.
As soon as the black bird came out, Ying Yiren said to the ministers: "My dear friends, what do you think about Qin's national policy?"
The ministers ignored it, and Xiqiming immediately said: "I believe that the tradition of Qin should be inherited and ruled by the military."
Military governance is the tradition of the previous Qin State. A strong army and a strong country rely on conquests to strengthen the country.
"Doctor Xi is right, the country should be governed by the army!" The generals agreed, especially the old clans.
Ying Yiren looked at them, feeling upset. These people in front of them are all vested interests in the old system of Qin State, and they are naturally unwilling to change the law.
But Ying Yi knew very well that the Qin State was militaristic and was getting weaker year by year. Her father-in-law even lost one-third of Qin's territory. If this continues, Qin may be destroyed!
Ying Yiren said: "I think the old system is undesirable. Qin is in decline. If we inherit the old system, we will be in danger of destroying the country!"
Seeing that the monarch opposed their proposal, the ministers did not speak, but looked at Meng Yuan one after another.
Meng Yuanqing coughed twice, and then said: "Your Majesty is serious. Since the founding of the Qin State, we have always used the army to rule the country, and all the previous kings of Qin have done this! The ancestors have taught me many times that the ancestral system cannot be violated!"
"This Meng Yuan, use the ancestral system to suppress me!" Ying Yiren cursed in her heart. Before, she really couldn't find any reason to retaliate.
But after several simulations, Ying Yiren is also full of experience.
She asked Meng Yuan: "Prime Minister Meng, you said that the ancestral system cannot be violated. Then whose ancestral system should we imitate? Is it the ancestral system of the ancestors or the ancestral system of the widow's grandfather? Or the ancestral system of the founding monarch? According to the widow's opinion You know, although their national policies are both military rule, they are different!"
Naturally, Meng Yuan would not be defeated by a single word of argument. He said: "Of course it is the national policy of the late emperor!"
"The national policy of the late monarch?" Ying Yiren asked: "You all followed my father-in-law and implemented the national policy of the late monarch. Has Qin become stronger or weaker?"
"This..." Everyone was embarrassed. Everyone knew that Qin had become weaker.
Taking advantage of the victory, Ying Yiren pursued him and said, "The Qin State has become weak. Is it because you are ineffective in implementing the national policy? Or is there something wrong with the national policy?"
The ministers were silent again. Naturally, they could not admit that they were ineffective in implementing the national policy. But if they admitted that there were problems with the national policy, wouldn't that give Ying Yiren an excuse to reform?
Ying Yiren gave them a step and said: "I believe in your ability and your determination to strengthen Qin. But Qin's national policy must be changed! Throughout the dynasties, when the country encountered a crisis, they were all reformers. Those who are strong will perish if they do not change! The national policy of our ancestors was applicable to the Qin State in ancient times. The current Qin State has reached a critical stage of survival. If it does not change, our Qin State will be in danger!"
Zhang Beichen gave Ying Yiren a thumbs up in his heart. It seemed that Ying Yiren had indeed grown a lot in the simulation. He remembered that when Ying Yiren first simulated, he was a reckless man and a gambler. After taking office, he directly led his troops to attack Wei.
Everyone had nothing to say, so Meng Yuan took the initiative to take a step back and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Qin's national policy must indeed change, but how and how it should be changed requires careful consideration."
"That's why I asked you all to discuss national policies today. Please come up with your own strategies for governing the country!" Ying Yiren said.
Mentioning this, Meng Yuan glanced at Xiqiming. Xiqiming came out, presented the bamboo slips he had prepared long ago, and said, "I have a copy of the "National Policy of the State of Qin" here. Please take a look at it!"
After he took out the "National Policy Book", the black bird circled in the hall for a week and then stood in the air. If Xuanniao does not respond, it means that Qin's national destiny does not approve it, and the national policy cannot be implemented.
This represents recognition of the national policy, which means that the national policy can be implemented.
When Ying Yiren saw it, she felt unhappy. This "National Policy Book" written by Xi Qiming just changed the soup without changing the medicine. It slightly changed the previous national policy, but it was still the same as militarism.
"Are there any other national policy documents?" Ying Yiren asked the ministers.
The ministers took out their national policy books one after another, but Xuanniiao remained motionless and closed his eyes, seemingly disdainful.
"These guys!" Ying Yiren knew that they were hiding their clumsiness and deliberately leaving Ying Yiren with no choice.
"Gentlemen, do you have any national policies?" Ying Yiren asked the scholars recruited by the recruitment order.
The scholars had been waiting for this opportunity and took out their bamboo slips one after another. But when most people walked up to Xuanniao, Xuanniao didn't react at all and kept his eyes closed.
Their national policy documents were also thrown aside. There were also a few scholars who made Xuanniao open his eyes. Ying Yiren took their national policy book and read it quickly, feeling very dissatisfied.
"It's my turn." Zhang Beichen stood up, presented his "National Policy Book" and said, "Your Majesty, I have a copy of the "Policy for Transforming France", please take a look at it!"
Zhang Beichen's "Policies for Transforming France" is a modified version based on the previous "Order of Reclamation of Grass". It is more complete than the "Order of Reclamation of Grass" and more suitable for the overall situation of the Qin State, but it is not the final version.
When Zhang Beichen took out "Strategies for Transforming France", the black bird suddenly opened its eyes, circled in the hall, and let out a long cry.
"Xuanniao sings forever, and it is a blockbuster!" Some scholars exclaimed, "This national policy has been approved by Xuanniao!"
Everyone even saw that the black bird sent down a trace of luck to connect Zhang Beichen's body. If Zhang Beichen's national policy is determined, from now on he will be connected to the national destiny of the Qin State, receive the blessing of the national destiny, and his cultivation speed will skyrocket!
The words in Zhang Beichen's "State Policy Book" were also reflected for everyone to see. The core of it is still to attach importance to agricultural production, improve the legal system, and weaken the power of the aristocracy.
Seeing this, all the members of the old clan were unhappy.
Ying Yiren looked happy and said: "Ai Qing's "Policy for Transforming France" is indeed a good policy, and I intend to implement it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a scholar stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, I also have national policies to contribute!"
Zhang Beichen looked at him and saw that the man was wearing Taoist robes and his steps were elegant. When he presented the national policy, the black bird also sang loudly and even stayed above his head!
"He has also been recognized by Xuanniao!" Everyone exclaimed, "He seems to be more powerful than Zhang Beichen."
The man announced his family name and said: "I am Feng Yi, a disciple of Taoism. I specially present to you the "National Policy of Governing by Inaction". Please read it!"
As he spoke, he opened the bamboo slips, and the words on the bamboo slips were printed in the air one by one, clearly visible.
While showing it, he also explained: "Laozi said: To rule by doing nothing. In ancient times, floods were raging in the world. Yao sent Gun to control the flood. Gun used the method of 'blocking', but it failed to achieve any results for nine years."
"But Gun's son Yu used dredging methods to allow the water to flow freely to the sea and successfully controlled the water."
"When the two sages Yao and Shun punished criminals, they punished serious crimes with lighter sentences, and the people were convinced."
"I think the King of Qin should follow the example of the ancient sages and sit quietly on the throne. Let his subjects live and develop freely, use lighter punishments, and be considerate of the people. Only in this way can Qin be strong."
"Therefore Lao Tzu said: I do nothing, and the people become themselves; I like to be quiet, and the people are upright; I do nothing, and the people become rich; I have no desires, and the people are simple!"
At this point, the black bird chirped again, and the power of luck came down and entered Feng Yi's body, boosting his spirits.
Feng Yi was overjoyed. If the Qin State could implement its national policy, his cultivation would surely improve by leaps and bounds.
And now, the blocker in front of him is Zhang Beichen!
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Beichen and said loudly: "The "Policies for Reforming France" written by Zhang Beichen have complicated regulations and harsh punishments, which prevent the people from being free and are restricted everywhere. The people will inevitably have complaints. This is like Gun using Blocking is the same as treating water, and it will only cause greater chaos in the end!"
"Cai!" The scholars cheered in unison. "Cai" is the "cai" in "applause". At this time, it basically means praises such as "well said", "excellent", "beautiful" and so on. word.
"Zhang Beichen, your national policy will harm the country and the people. Do you know that you are wrong?" Feng Yi said aggressively.
Zhang Beichen already understood at this time that Feng Yi must be the back-up man of the old clan. His rule of inaction, to put it another way, doesn't mean that Ying Yiren is just a puppet monarch?
The reason why Feng Yi can also cause strange phenomena is because his national policy does fit a certain way of governing the country, and his cultivation level is higher than Zhang Beichen. He is in the late stage of the Tao Seed Realm and has more spiritual power. The stronger the executor of the national policy, the stronger the influence of the national policy, so Xuanniiao's reaction will be stronger.
Moreover, this person deliberately provoked a fight against him and pretended to argue with him. If Zhang Beichen didn't answer, he would be admitting defeat. If he accepts it and loses, his and Ying Yiren's reform will also be suspended, and they will also be counterattacked by the broken law!
The visitor is not good!
"Wrong? I misjudged you!" Zhang Beichen retorted loudly, "Feng Yi, you claim that you want the emperor to imitate the ancient sages and 'rule by doing nothing', but in fact you just misinterpret the words of the sage! You don't understand what it means to rule by doing nothing." rule!"
"I'm a Taoist disciple. I don't know. Do you know?" Feng Yi retorted.
"Of course, I will explain it to you now!" Zhang Beichen said sternly.
"Debate! Zhang Beichen wants to argue with him!" The scholars were all excited. Zhang Beichen's debate with Feng Yi also represented Ying Yi and the old clan's struggle for the execution of national policies.
Whoever loses will definitely suffer the backlash of breaking the law. In severe cases, the path of practice may even be cut off! The scholars were not familiar with them, so naturally they just watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously.
Ying Yiren was slightly worried. Zhang Beichen practiced Legalism and would be at a disadvantage if he had to debate Taoist ideas with Feng Yi.
