Chapter 601: Business
It is impossible to reach a conclusion on such a big issue within one day, but Li Jianguo already has some ideas about the arrangements for Nanyue.
In modern times, China has already dealt with such issues.
It is a little difficult for him to create original works, but he can still copy homework.
After several days of arguments in the court, Li Jianguo finally made a final decision.
Regarding the treatment of Nanyue, he integrated the opinions that were more favorable to that side in recent days, and then issued an imperial edict.
Nanyue is still Nanyue, but the king of Nanyue must be appointed by Dachen. Nanyue's laws and regulations need to be re-enacted according to Dachen's requirements.
Dachen will arrange troops to be stationed in Nanyue, on the one hand to maintain the security of Nanyue, and on the other hand to supervise the royal family of Nanyue.
If this king is disobedient, then replace him with an obedient one.
From then on, Nanyue became a vassal state of Dachen.
Dachen will provide Nanyue with the necessary technical support, but the King of Nanyue must manage and restrain his subjects.
Now everyone stopped arguing.
Thinking about it carefully, this result seems to be the best. Dachen will not be responsible for the people of Nanyue, and Nanyue will not easily escape Dachen's control.
Along with this announcement, there was another major event.
Ten days later, Dachen will hold its first business exam.
Those who win the top three can serve as officials in the court.
Compared with the handling of Nanyue, this incident shocked the ministers even more.
"Your Majesty! This is a serious matter. How can we treat it like a joke?" An old minister strongly opposed such a decision.
Since ancient times, there has been no reason to open a business.
Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were of low status, so how could they be recruited to become officials through imperial examinations so openly?
This is simply rebellion against Tiangang.
How would the thousands of students in the world feel about this? After working hard for more than ten years, they end up being treated the same as businessmen.
No! This trend must not be allowed to grow!
"Yes! Merchants are lowly, how can they be so privileged? If they really become officials in the same court, how are we scholars supposed to cope with this?!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice! This business is absolutely unacceptable. Merchants are cunning and have low character. How can we allow such people to have the opportunity to serve as officials in the court!"
"Your Majesty! There is no point in opening a business course. Why bother? All the government orders can be entrusted to the officials. It is a waste of time to recruit businessmen!"
"..."
This time, the opinions of the people in the court were surprisingly unanimous.
Except for a small number of people who felt that their voices were insignificant or who did not dare to openly oppose the emperor, all those who spoke out were against the idea of opening up business courses to recruit officials.
Li Jianguo listened to them patiently one by one, and then said in a cold voice, "I am not discussing with you, but informing you. If anyone thinks that this matter cannot be done or cannot be done well, then I don't mind replacing it with someone who can do it well. There are so many talented people in the world, I don't believe that I can't find someone who can do this well. My dear ministers, do you agree or not?!"
For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
The ministers looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.
Since His Majesty the Emperor took power, he has rarely been so strong in government affairs.
He was so arbitrary in the matter of business, which made them not know how to respond.
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Li Jianguo winked at Eunuch Guo.
Upon receiving the hint, Eunuch Guo immediately sang loudly and left the court.
It can be regarded as giving everyone a way out.
