Zhao Ji gave a look, and Zhao Ning sent all the teachers out.
He looked at Ying Wuji and asked suspiciously, "Do you really have a teacher?"
"hold head high!"
Ying Wuji nodded as a matter of course.
Zhao Ji asked again: "So, was this reform plan yours or your mentor's?"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "I came up with it, but if I hadn't had my mentor's guidance, I would definitely not have been able to come up with it."
"I see!"
Zhao Ji nodded thoughtfully. This made much more sense.
Because after he came out of seclusion, he made a special investigation of Ying Wuji. Even though the teacher Ying Yue had assigned to him before was a nerd with his head full of agricultural and military strategies, it was really strange that he could cultivate a student like Ying Wuji.
This explanation makes much more sense.
At least it is more credible than Ying Wuji studying behind closed doors and gaining insights on his own.
Zhao Ji patted his shoulder and said, "As long as the jade soap business can be successful, the reform will be a small success. If the Wei and Han families can be deterred, the reform will be a large success."
Ying Wuji smiled and added: "What do you mean by 'mostly'? It's all done! As long as the new city in the north can be built, the land of Zhao will be rejuvenated. With you here, father, the Wei and Han families will not dare to go to war easily. If they don't fight, they will be sucked dry by the new land in the north.
In just ten years, the North will be completely strong. By then, whether we destroy them or break away from them and let them serve as a buffer zone between Xinli and Ganchu, it will not be bad for us. "
“Very good!”
Zhao Ji looked at Ying Wuji with great relief. The situation in the world had changed. In the past, the princes fought for hegemony, and whoever fought for more land would be more powerful.
Now, the size of the land is still important, but the most important thing is that the same land can produce more food, and the same number of troops can unleash greater combat power.
This guy ignored the dangers of the reform and said it would definitely succeed. Of course it was nonsense, but it did boost morale.
He couldn't help but smile: "Just stay in Li Kingdom from now on, this is the best place for you. Although Gan Kingdom is your motherland and has completed the reform, the people there have problems with their brains. Even if you go back, you will only follow the strategy of farming and fighting like a puppet. Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Ying Wuji nodded. He didn't quite understand at first, but ever since he scolded Lao Bideng, he understood that Gan Kingdom only needed to follow the path of farming and fighting until dark, and there didn't need to be any variables in unifying the world.
That's why Lao Bi Deng, knowing that he has some business talent, is still unwilling to release the business seal.
He could see that his father-in-law really wanted to keep him.
In fact, he didn't mean to leave. All he wanted was to develop slowly in a safe environment. What he wanted most was not to change the law.
But since Prince Li and the Crown Prince insisted on reforming the law, we could only help them.
This reform is not a thorough one, but as long as the new land in the north can be stabilized, it is only a matter of time before it spreads to the entire country of Li.
I hope it will work this time. If it does, it will at least free up several years of development time.
"Go back! Have a good rest these days, and then you can take back the position of Chief Palace Master for your mentor!"
"yes!"
Ying Wuji nodded. He must fight for this seat, not just for his own status.
The selection within the academy was only a stopgap measure to leverage the power of the Hundred Schools of Thought. In the future, the power to appoint and dismiss officials will inevitably be returned to the hands of the royal power. With the current level of productivity, the imperial examination system is the right way to go.
Once the threat from Wei and Han is eliminated, there will surely be a struggle between the royal power and the academy.
The conflict between the two sides may not be as bloody as that between Wei and Han, but it must be dealt with properly. Otherwise, if one fails to handle it well, the next Jixia will be the next.
Recommended by the Imperial Academy? It's just a product of the transitional period!
"Why?"
Ying Wuji suddenly felt something was wrong. I'm just trying to get by by clinging to powerful people. Why should I consider so much?
He shook his head and quickly left Chongli Palace.
Zhao Ji looked at his leaving back with a complicated look in his eyes.
There are actually still four steps to make the reform successful.
The first step: force the royal family to cooperate fully. Now that I am still in my prime, it shouldn't be a problem.
The second step: Make the jade soap business a success. This should not be difficult. The difficult part is how to compete with the countries involved in this business.
The third step: How to intimidate Wei and Han when launching a blitzkrieg against Di. This step must be handled with caution. Any mistake will result in a complete failure.
Step 4: Stabilize the new northern land for ten years.
"There has not been a single day of peace in these ten years."
"This kid thinks that with Gu guarding here, he can stabilize the new northern land even if a fight breaks out."
"You didn't know I only had three years to live!"
Zhao Ji shook his head, feeling a little bitter.
Three years later, there will be a big change, and this change must be maintained.
Therefore, within three years, the new land in the north must be put on the right track and Ning'er's prestige must be completely established.
But if you want to establish your prestige, you must do big things.
At present, the only major event in the past three years is the political reform. However, the political reform will offend the nobles, including the royal family, and will have a great impact on the position of the crown prince.
This seems to be a dead end.
Zhao Ji still doesn’t know how to untie this knot. All he can do is leave more things for Zhao Ning.
The person he wanted to keep most was Ying Wuji.
Be it a temporary measure or a true expression of his feelings, he wanted Ying Wuji to become a complete member of the Zhao family.
This kid must be a sentimental person. No matter if he is towards Luo Yan's illegitimate daughter or his father-in-law, as long as you are good to him, he will not treat you badly.
But this kid lacks a sense of security, and he would like to hold anything he can control in his own hands.
