Chapter 412 Cai Guo's Crisis
Cold sweat dripped from Zhang Ying's head. Being able to sit here, Zhang Ying is certainly not an idiot, but just because she is too smart, she is a bit "smart" - Gongsun Wushang's performance just now is undoubtedly wonderful, and it seems to show the difference between the two laws.
But Zhang Ying understands better that some things cannot be said by oneself—it is very dangerous to say them; it seems impossible not to say them.
During this torment, he was sweating profusely, and his face changed from rosy to pale and then sallow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All the people present were smart, and they understood it at a glance. Zhang Ying obviously understood it, but there seemed to be some words that he couldn't speak.
Finally Gongsun Wushang stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has not finished answering the question Zhang Ying asked just now, so let the foreign minister continue."
"Okay." Emperor Liu's tone was a little emotional.
Gongsun Wushang stood in the center of the banquet, talking eloquently: "What I just showed was not only the law, but also the political situation of Anyang and Liu.
First of all, let me talk about the two luminous pearls, which represent interests.
In Liu Guo, there is only one interest. If everyone competes for an interest, conflicts will naturally arise. Why do reforms in general countries fail? Because the interests have not changed at all, and the foundation of society has not changed. Such a reform will only cause the chaos in the past, and eventually it will get out of hand.
But Anyang is not like this. The greatest success of Anyang is the creation of new interests. A new interest has been created without swaying the original interest, and it is an interest that everyone can pursue. Around the new interests, Anyang created new rules.
Another point is that the foundation of this interest has already been controlled by the virtuous king; or this interest is actually the virtuous king's own interest. The virtuous king is hiding in the dark! But the virtuous king is willing to share benefits with everyone!
With this premise, let's talk about the laws of the two countries.
The laws of Anyang stipulate what everyone cannot do, and guide everyone to actively pursue their interests. Those who do not like to pursue new interests can still stick to the old interests, and it is legal.
But Liu Guo's law stipulates that everyone can only do this, and there is no second choice other than doing this.
The laws of Anyang provide a square where everyone can dance freely.
But Liu Guo's laws are a hook, leading everyone to a fearful future!
Living according to the laws of Anyang, whether success or failure is a personal problem, everyone will not resent the country, but only sum up their own problems.
Living according to the laws of Liu Guo, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will have nothing, and everyone will resent the country and the ruling class.
The essence of the law lies in fairness, but the laws in Anyang are truly fair. Everyone pursues interests, happiness and freedom together. On the other hand, Liu Guo's law is that everyone suffers together; in the face of power, the people dare not speak out.
It is well known that Anyang's laws are full of loopholes. But why is Anyang governed very well, because this is the real legal net, a net, not leaking!
There are almost no loopholes in Liu Guo's laws, because this is a sling, and everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope! "
After Gongsun Wushang finished speaking, there was no sound at the banquet; Gongsun Wushang slowly walked back to his seat, and poured himself a drink.
After a while, an old official finally coughed accidentally, breaking the silence and calm.
"Good! Good!" Emperor Liu praised.
The emperor opened his mouth, and there were countless flattering applause from around.
Gongsun Wushang looked around slightly calmly, then continued to drink with his head down, as if there was no one else around.
But with Gongsun Wushang's unscrupulous beginning, many officials suddenly became "smart", and everyone talked about it, and began to discuss the possibility of reform-it turns out that new benefits can be created to promote the reform. Now the so-called new interests, except for industry and commerce, seem to have no second kind.
But no matter what, if you can create new interests without destroying existing interests, then the resistance of Liu Guo's reform will undoubtedly be much smaller, and you will even gain support. In the final analysis, everyone is a creature that pursues interests, and the right to life, freedom, fairness, wealth, and rights are all part of interests.
Gongsun Wushang looked at the "enthusiastic" discussions around, and sighed in his heart, "You are thinking too simply, as far as your old bureaucratic system is a huge obstacle; and once the law is reformed, the interests will inevitably be skewed.
Anyang has created new interests, but the new interests are gradually submerging and melting the old interests.
But if Liu Guo wants to be strong, it is impossible to change the law. And as long as the law is reformed, Anyang must be relied on, and Anyang's interests can also be guaranteed.
In this way, not only can Liu Guo be strengthened, but also Anyang's interests can be guaranteed. It is worthwhile to return to the country this time. "
Gongsun Wushang, who had nothing to worry about, ate very happily, and the emperor treated him, of course the specifications were not bad.
…………
Liu Guo was discussing enthusiastically, and Cai Guo, thousands of miles away to the north, was also discussing enthusiastically.
Originally, Cai Guo, who took the initiative to retreat to the land of Sanchuan, was preparing to rise again; although the prime minister Huang Fu spared no effort and used all means to exclude dissidents, he was able to become prime minister, and Huang Fu was not an empty bag of wisdom. This trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell is still very good.
If Huang Fu's plan is completely followed, Cai Guo's comeback is not a dream.
But the bad thing is that Anyang intervened, and the secrecy work was not done well!
Sure enough, as Huang Fu expected, Cai Guo discovered red copper ore again in the ancient abandoned mine in Tongchuan! In the depths of the abandoned mine, after bombing with explosives regardless of the cost, a small amount of red copper ore with a very low content was found. But in any case, in this day and age, it is a surprise to find red copper itself.
However, somehow the news of the matter leaked and reached Anyang's ears; then, Anyang was very generous and published the news in the newspaper for free! Print run - 2 million copies!
Now, what about Anyang Daily, just two days later, this newspaper was placed in front of Emperor Cai.
Then the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Originally, Cai Guo gave up most of the land, and one of the big reasons was to lure Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, Chen Guo and the newly rising Xiao Guo and Tang Guo to fight and confront each other.
Later, Anyang held a comprehension conference, which temporarily suppressed the melee that was on the verge of breaking out. But it doesn't matter, the so-called pressing the gourd to float the gourd, temporarily pressing it, will only make future wars more violent.
However, things changed again. Cai Guo found out about the red copper mine and was exposed by Anyang, and several surrounding countries immediately became jealous!
In the past, Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo ignored Cai Guo. This country that is lingering in the land of Sanchuan has nothing to say, but it is still a tough bone: the terrain of Sanchuan is also very dangerous, Cai Guo's military technology is not bad, and the defense is also somewhat methodical. Naturally, these countries will not do anything.
But the discovery of red copper ore, this is different!
