    Chapter 224: Restructuring

    After dealing with the alien threat, Wen Shen evenly distributed more than a hundred sets of individual combat armor to Wang Gang and Chen Yisheng, and also distributed three sets to Yamamoto Rokuro.

    After Yamamoto Rokuro tried the power of the combat armor, he looked at Wen Shen excitedly.

    "You have performed well during this period. These sets of alien individual combat armors are a reward for you. I hope you can do more in the future." Wen Shen said with a smile.

    "Alien combat armor?" Yamamoto Rokuro's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "Have you already surrendered the aliens who have been having a lot of fun during this period?"

    Wen Shen said calmly: "I can't say surrender, but I killed them all. Now the spaceship in outer space is our trophy. I also found a detailed interstellar map on the spacecraft. Based on this map, I  It is discovered that there is a planet suitable for human survival more than ten light years away from the earth. At that time, we will carry out interstellar migration."

    "real?"

    Wen Shen looked at Yamamoto Rokuro's confused eyes and said calmly: "There's no point in lying to you. Of course, knowing Chinese is a prerequisite for immigration. Japanese is originally derived from Chinese, so it's not difficult to learn."

    "What you are saying is that China and Japan are one family." Yamamoto Rokuro said with a charming smile, "According to historical data, Japan is likely to be the descendant of Xu Fu's five hundred boys and girls in the Qin Dynasty. In addition, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of women  Going to the mainland to borrow seeds has made most of Japan have Yanhuang ancestry."

    Wen Shen nodded thoughtfully, "It seems like this is true." Then he stared at him and asked, "When you invaded the mainland, you killed so many people. Why didn't you say that you are of Chinese descent?"

    Yamamoto Rokuro smiled awkwardly, "If you say something you don't like to hear in a war that doesn't kill people, most of the Chinese people still died in the hands of their own people."

    Wen Shen thought for a moment and smiled: "It seems true. What do you think is the reason for this?"

    ¡°The fundamental reason is that the country is too big and has too much internal friction, and internal fighting is a hundred times crueler than invasion by foreign enemies.¡±

    Wen Shen snorted and smiled, "Don't you have internal strife in Japan?"

    Yamamoto Rokuro glanced at Wen Shen and found that he was looking at him with interest. He felt that he did not mean to find trouble, so he said: "Only where there are people, there will be internal strife. It also exists in Japan and other places in the world.  Yes, it¡¯s just lighter or heavier.¡±

    "Oh, how did you reduce the internal fighting?"

    "Of course, perfect laws and Confucianism must instill these things into the minds of the people so that they all abide by this law."

    "It seems that these things are also found in mainland China"

    Yamamoto Rokuro smiled slightly, "It is a pity that the dynasties in which the Han people are the masters of their own affairs are very powerful. You have been ruled by the Qing Dynasty for too long, which has changed many things. The situation in the Republic of China has improved. It is regrettable that World War II  After that, Taiwan was defeated. You can see that Taiwan has developed much better than the mainland."

    "Do you think if the Republic of China still ruled the mainland, it would develop better than it does now?"

    Yamamoto Rokuro nodded solemnly and said: "I think so. Taiwan's legal system and Confucianism are well integrated. If the Republic of China ruled the mainland, it would definitely be better than now."

    "interesting"

    Wen Shen thought for a while and asked: "Why do you only talk about French rule and Confucianism, but not democratic elections? You must know that many young people believe that the reason why Taiwan and Japan are developed and wealthy is mostly due to democratic elections."

    "That's just an appearance. In fact, the essence is balance." Yamamoto Rokuro looked at Wen Shen. "Only when balance is stable can it develop. When it develops, it will create new imbalances. How to solve the imbalance is the most important thing."  Yes. This coincides with the balance of yin and yang in traditional thinking."

    "balance?"

    Wen Shen thought for a moment and laughed: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful. Mice are afraid of cats, cats are afraid of tigers, tigers are afraid of elephants, and elephants are afraid of mice. Haha, it's interesting."

    "The president bullies the officials, the officials bully the people, and the people decide the president. This creates a dynamic balance, so Western democratic societies can be stable and orderly." Yamamoto Rokuro said with a smile, "Some countries only learn the appearance and do not learn.  We need to get some real action inside. Even though they are holding elections, they are still rife with corruption and the people are living in dire straits.¡±

    "Confucianism can restrain the people from a moral level, and law can ensure the implementation of Confucianism and punish those who commit crimes." Wen Shen thought for a while and said doubtfully, "But this cannot form a circular balance."

    Yamamoto Rokuro chuckled, "To form a cycle, you also need a strong and enlightened leader. This leader is very important. Of course, Washington in the United States, Chiang Ching-kuo in Taiwan, etc."?Forcibly promoted by external forces, the original Japan is one of them.  "

    Wen Shen smiled slightly, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

    ¡­¡­

    After Yamamoto Rokuro left, Wen Shen came to the Song Dynasty space and decided to test this theory to see if it could lead the people in this space to take a different path.

    Arriving at Kaifeng Chengdu Hall, Wen Shen gathered officials from various ministries and held an emergency meeting.

    "Ahem Grand Master, I wonder why you summoned us here?" Grand Master Zheng Juzhong asked first.

    Wen Shen looked at Zheng Juzhong, whose face was a little dark, and asked with concern: "Why does Mr. Zheng look so ugly? Is he sick?"

    Zheng Juzhong forced a smile and said: "I am a little bit cold, but it doesn't matter. Thank you for your concern, Grand Master."

    Wen Shen glanced at everyone and said seriously: "The main topic today is to discuss the terms of office and promotion of officials in various ministries."

    When everyone heard the words, they all immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the term of office first. I suggest that Dazai Shaozai, Liubu Shangshu, Yushi Zhongcheng and Dali Temple Minister should have four-year terms. After four years, they will be adjusted. Do you have any opinions on this?¡±

    Although this suggestion was a bit weird, everyone thought it was nothing, so they all said: "No objection."

    "Next, let's talk about the appointment of these official positions." Wen Shen paused, "These official positions are all elected."

    "Elected?"

    Everyone exclaimed, not understanding what this meant.

    "Grand Master, how are you elected?" Young Master Yu Shen asked in confusion.

    "To put it bluntly, it is very simple. The five official positions in the future are no longer appointed by me or the emperor, but elected by the people of the country. Whoever the people say should be this official will be this official."

    After Wen Shen finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at him with incredible eyes.

    "Grand Master, how can it be possible for the people in the country to choose one if they have billions of dollars? Even if one can choose, I don't know how much manpower and financial resources it will take. Isn't it a bit unfeasible?" Zheng Juzhong said after a pause.

    Yu Shen hurriedly agreed: "Yes, many people can't read a lot of Chinese characters, and they have never seen me, so how can they choose."

    Wen Shen picked up the tea cup on the table, took a slow sip, and said: "The two adults are right. It is indeed not feasible to let the people of the country hold elections. So, let the talents of the country hold the election for the literati."

    "this¡­¡­"

    ????????????????????????????????????????? If the literati across the country are allowed to hold elections, then they are not allowed to form cliques.  In the eyes of the emperor, it was a serious crime to form a party for personal gain and behead someone.  Although everyone who was doing it was willing in their hearts, they were not sure what Wen Shen meant, so they all remained silent.

    "Grand Master, even if it is an election of literati, it is impossible for them to know everyone. If everyone votes for themselves, wouldn't it be the same as not voting at all." Censor Zhongcheng said for the first time.

    Wen Shen looked at him and said: "What you said makes sense. You can set up your own party and conduct elections in the name of the party. If that party develops more literati, it will be more likely to win. What do you think?  ?¡±

    "Thisisn't this a clique for personal gain?" Zheng Juzhong finally couldn't help but say it.

    "Party formation is certain, and selfishness is also possible. However, if you are found to have selfishness during your term, Yushitai can impeach you."

    Hearing this, Censor Zhongcheng asked: "Grand Master, to whom shall we report the results of our impeachment?"

    Wen Shen thought for a while and said, "Send the result to Dali Temple for trial. If the Dali Temple trial result is inconsistent with the laws of the Song Dynasty, Yushitai can ask for a retrial."

    "Um, I wonder if the responsibilities of the Ministry of Punishment have changed?" the Minister of Punishment bowed.

    "What are the main responsibilities of your Criminal Department now?"

    Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was speechless for a while. He didn't know anything and dared to carry out restructuring, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only apologize and said with a smile: "The main responsibility of our Ministry of Punishment is to review various laws and review cases sent from various places. In fact, it has nothing to do with it.  There is some overlap in the responsibilities of Dali Temple.¡±

    Wen Shen cursed in his heart, political reform is really annoying.

    At this time, the Minister of Dali Temple said: "Master, it is better to change the system slowly rather than hastily. I think it is better to take it one step at a time."

    Wen Shen thought for a while and felt that it made sense. He nodded and said, "Yes, now you go back to establish a political party and formulate the party's action program. In other words, if you become prime minister, how do you plan to govern the country. Do you understand now?"

    "Understood!"

    ¡­¡­

    Out of the big house??, the officials were divided into several small groups, one of which was headed by Shaozai Yu Shen.

    "Yu Xiang, what does the Grand Master mean today? Does he really want to give up his power?" Censor Zhongcheng next to Yu Shen asked with a frown.

    "If the Grand Master really holds an election, I'm afraid all the scholars in the world will support this decision." Yu Shen looked into the distance and said meaningfully.

    "If you want to be elected, you have to win over most scholars and give them these benefits, otherwise why would your family follow them?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice thought for a moment and said, "Such benefits are not easy to find. Should we give them more money?  Tax-free? If so, wouldn¡¯t it mean that whoever has the money will be elected? I don¡¯t think the election is reliable.¡±
