C1082 What a privilege! (1/2)
”What is a scholar? In fact, the ancient intellectuals created a privileged class for themselves based on the lack of popularization of education! ”
”It's all the same way, from the era of the Qin and Han dynasties to the rise of the Sui and Tang dynasties' Feudal Lords system in the late Han dynasties, all the famous families took monopolizing knowledge as their primary task. Many rare books, books, and many exquisite Emperor's Heart Techniques are all secret techniques that families do not pass on!”
”It is said that the opening of Imperial Examinations in Sui Tang was a big step forward, but who would have known that the opening of Imperial Examinations in Sui Tang was also an act of helplessness by the royal family in order to fight against a famous family? All the heroes in the world are in the Wealthy Class, and the emperor does not have many decent talents under his command!”
”After the Song Dynasty, the rank of the commoner began to rise. Ordinary small landlords or wealthy families could also nurture outstanding intellectuals, which is the progress of the era. This is also the key reason why the level of the Song Dynasty's literary and governance reached its peak in all of China!”
”But unfortunately, the human heart has high standards, and the selfishness is never extinguished. The Confucian Scholars have created a strange phenomenon of a partisan conflict! This group of intellectuals were extremely adept at forming their own cliques. Later on, because of the excessive promotion of Cheng Zhu's philosophy, Confucianism gradually turned into Confucianism! ”A bunch of well-behaved intellectuals, learning how to learn from religion to myth their identities!”
Xiao Letian said too much today, his voice was exceptionally hoarse.
”Until now, the Chinese scholars have completely taken over the government, and even the Baji had no choice but to lower their heads to this huge class. Don't look at how arrogant they are on the outside, if they leave this group of Confucian scholars, they wouldn't even count as fart!”
”However, the era has changed. The era of trying to monopolize knowledge and gain power through partnering has passed. From now on, our Chinese race will implement compulsory education for all. Knowledge will no longer be restricted to the High Court, and it will no longer be a privilege enjoyed by the minority!”
”A scholar, or rather an official, is no longer part of the same class. From now on, he is just a professional!”
”If the whole people can get an education, then they will all be scholars. The peasants can be officials, the craftsmen can be officials, the soldiers can be officials, and the merchants can also be officials …”
”It is clearly just a job, why did they have to independently grant them privileges? So what if he was the Prime Minister? I, Xiao Letian, only know two realms, that is, ten years. After ten years, if you ask me to do it, I will no longer serve you! I owe you guys? ”
”Prime Minister!” From the beginning, they had always thought that those two ten-year rules would be made for others. In their hearts, they thought that Xiao Letian had transcended all the rules because he was the person who made all the rules.
Xiao Letian pressed his hands together, shocking everyone present, ”The Chinese are free to do whatever they want, and the rights to work are protected. Just because you are a noble and powerful official today does not mean that you will enjoy the rights brought by your position for your entire life, you will have to return to the common people sooner or later. Do you want to be like in the past and create the happiness of having special rights throughout your life? ”Dream on …”
”Why would I want to separate from the Citizens' Assembly to the Military Council, the Consultation, the Science Society and the City Council? ”It's not that I'm going to create these four classes, nor that I'm not abandoning the peasants, the workers, and the officials. It's not that …”
”The four subdivided parliaments actually represent the four basic elements of future Chinese development. They represent the direction that we need to strive for!”
”If the Chinese want to grow up, if we want to become strong, then we can't leave without the power of the army, the power of merchants, the power of technology, and the power of Chinese citizens …” The four small councils under the Citizens' Assembly are actually trying to make us more powerful so that we can produce more power. They are definitely not trying to create four classes! ”
”Do you understand now? Being an official was just a profession, a profession that served the society. He did not represent any special privileges! Do you want privileges? ”It's very simple. Please work hard, work hard, and work hard to benefit the people. Through your hard work, you can enter the ranks of the Sixth and Eighteenth Class!”
