I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 576 Praise of Virtue
People learn through conscience, so they are different from beasts. If someone abandons his conscience, he can be punished in the same way as beasts.

This has risen from the level of personal morality to national governance, explaining why national governance can impose punishment based on personal morality, and also expounding the theoretical basis of Wang Mingyi's policy of "equal emphasis on learning and punishment."

Therefore, even if you are a practitioner of business ethics, if you want to participate in the governance of the country, you should also "follow your conscience" and learn ethical standards.

Wang Mingyi continued, "As a human being, one must have 'conscience', let alone governing others. Therefore, I request that the imperial court should set up an Integrity Academy when recruiting scholars. It should be under the Imperial Academy and managed by the provincial Daoxue officials. All officials who are promoted and evaluated must study in the Integrity Academy for a period of time, which can be as short as a few days or as long as more than a month."

After talking about ideals, Wang Mingyi talked about the essence.

The seventh prince Li Hao took advantage of the current situation and proposed a special imperial examination to recruit local talents from hundreds of schools of thought. This not only hit Zhou Tieyi, but also hit the ruling foundation of Confucianism.

Under the premise that it was difficult to overturn the system of selecting officials through special imperial examinations, Wang Mingyi boldly proposed the method of allowing hundreds of schools of thought to learn Confucian thoughts.

Although he used a very euphemistic term, "to the conscience", the time period was very short, just a few days or a month.

But everyone is clear about the meaning of this. If this anti-corruption agency is really established, officials will have to learn about it in the future. Will this further lead to the requirement that all officials will have to take assessments on their anti-corruption studies?

What's worse, what if the Anti-Corruption Commission says that you have not passed the anti-corruption training and refuses to appoint you? By then, the power of the Anti-Corruption Commission may be greater than that of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Personnel combined!

After listening to this policy proposal, the ministers were surprised that Wang Mingyi, who appeared to be loyal and honest, actually had a bigger appetite than Zhou Tieyi!

Zhou Tieyi only set up a Ministry of Communications and divided some of the power of the Ministry of Works. If the Institute of Integrity is established, I am afraid that the Minister of Education and the Minister of Personnel will have to take a detour in the future.

On the other hand, they are also weighing the pros and cons. It is obvious that this policy proposal will not be passed in its entirety. How much of it can be passed in the end depends on the game between the Emperor of Daxia and Zhou Tieyi.

The Great Xia Emperor pondered for a long time, and he indeed waited for unexpected changes.

In the entire court today, only the Integrity Commission proposed by Wang Mingyi can really surprise him, but he needs to grasp the right measure and know how to hold this precious sword in his hand without hurting himself and allowing Confucianism to become powerful again.

The afterglow of the saint.

The Great Xia Emperor looked at Wang Mingyi again, then turned to Zhou Tieyi and asked, "What do you think of this strategy, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Tieyi said casually, "This policy paper itself is naturally good, but there is only one thing that is wrong, that is, what should the Institute of Integrity teach. I remember that managing the classics of hundreds of schools has always been the job of the school, right, Minister Ke?"

Zhou Tieyi looked at the other person in purple next to him. After Tang Anshi retired and returned to his hometown, Ke Anran took over as the Minister of Education, but Ke Anran's Confucianism was different from Wang Mingyi's.

There is a wise saying that heretics deserve to be burned on the cross more than pagans!
Ke Anran's interests are consistent with those of the Emperor of Daxia. He is naturally aware of the role and harm of the Integrity Commission. Before he figures out what to do with the Integrity Commission, the tactic of procrastination is naturally useful.

"That's true. It's easy to say about indoctrination, but how to teach is related to the country and society, and it can't be determined in a few words. Mr. Wang, why don't you write an accurate course first, and then take it to the Ministry of Education for discussion?"

As soon as Ke Anran spoke, all the schools of thought naturally agreed. Of course, this power could not be handed over entirely to the Confucianists, including some Confucianists who had already been won over by Ke Anran.

In the Golden Palace, a chorus of echoes suddenly rang out, accounting for half of the people in the hall at the moment. Only the Confucianists like Dong Xingshu remained silent, looking coldly at the court.

This was the request of the Great Xia Emperor. Zhou Tieyi continued to put forward his own request, "And even if we set up an anti-corruption agency, as I just said, the main contradiction of our Great Xia is how to promote reform and make people's livelihood better, and we can't put all the emphasis on the anti-corruption agency. Although Mr. Wang's suggestion is good, it will delay the efficiency of more than a month. I think it is better to set a year of self-study first and see the effect. After all, everyone has a conscience. Since Mr. Wang believes that our society is good, he naturally believes that most of the inheritors of our Hundred Schools of Thought are good and conscious, right?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, that is the truth, but there are many ways to circumvent it in practice.

Seeing that Zhou Tieyi was getting more and more demanding, the Emperor of Daxia did not say anything. It would not be bad for him to stabilize for a year. If the situation required it, it would not be too late to use the Integrity Council after a year. Before that, he had to see the effect of the special examination.

Wang Mingyi sighed in his heart. He said that the purpose of his long theory was to occupy the moral high ground, but Zhou Tieyi did not refute this. Instead, he used the core of his theory to delay.

Of course, the most important thing is that the new Confucian forces he represents now are still too small to complete the construction and management of the Integrity Bureau.

You should know that Zhou Tieyi has mastered the changes in the entire Daxia reform. He has the full support of the Mohists, Gongshuists, Eclecticists, and Merchants. He has some Taoist and military foundations, and he can even create the Five Immortals Way himself. He has repeatedly weighed and compromised in the governance of such a huge country.

The cards he has in his hand now only have the support of some Confucianists, so naturally he cannot ask for more.

So without waiting for Dong Xingshu and the other Confucianists to refute him, Wang Mingyi decisively said, "Minister Zhou's words make sense."

Being able to establish the Integrity Commission and participate in the reform of the various schools of thought was, for him, political capital that had already established itself. It was equivalent to helping the old Confucian party, which was about to lose a big loss, stabilize the situation in this court meeting and also gain a foundation for itself.

It is far better to hold political assets and transform them into political power than to continue to challenge the consent of the vast majority of people.

Wang Mingyi's quick agreement surprised the ministers again.

They originally thought that Wang Mingyi, as a genius second only to Zhou Tieyi, would at least argue, but they did not expect that he was so politically mature and understood that continuing to argue on this issue would not lead to good results.

Wang Mingyi made the final decision, and His Majesty of Daxia smiled and said, "That's great. This year, we will let Li Hao be the chief examiner and Wang Qing be the deputy examiner."

Li Hao stepped forward quickly, "Congratulations, father! This means that all the heroes in the world have fallen into your grasp. They will surely protect our Li family for thousands of years."

The Great Xia Emperor laughed loudly and said, "Sir, don't joke. Today, if you offer advice to three people, you will be rewarded with a hundred households of land!"

Zhou Tieyi's figure also disappeared in an instant. The Emperor of Daxia had the advantages of the Emperor of Daxia, and he also had his advantages. With such good news, the Emperor of Daxia wanted to win the hearts of his subjects, and he naturally also wanted to win the hearts of the people.

No one wants to do business at a loss!

······
Inside the Daxia Exchange, the jumping green characters suddenly froze, as if some kind of magic was cast, causing the cursing and wailing inside the exchange to suddenly stop.

Then, news suddenly came from each trading counter.

In view of major changes in the Railway Chamber of Commerce, trading in the Railway Chamber of Commerce’s shares has been suspended.

This was something that Daxia Exchange had never encountered since its establishment. In addition, the stock price plummeted by nearly 20% today, which made people panic. People in the exchange rushed to the counter like crazy. "Everyone."

The Daxia Exchange itself is between reality and virtuality, and is the reflection of the Mingyue System in Tianjing, so Zhou Tieyi can directly project it into everyone's mind.

Hearing the source of the voice, the people who were holding stocks and bonds in their hands, fearing that the paper in their hands would become waste paper, looked at Zhou Tieyi who suddenly appeared in front of them.

There was a brief moment of unexpected silence, followed by a thunderous roar.

"You have to make the decision for us!"

"The stock has fallen so much today. Is the Queen really going to tear down the Train Chamber of Commerce?"

“Is there any way for us to survive?”

Zhou Tieyi waited for everyone to vent their emotions first, and then the bright and clear moonlight fell, calming the panic.

Lu Yuanbo, the manager of Tianjing Exchange, took the opportunity to shout, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. The saint is here to solve our problems. Let the saint finish his words!"

When they heard that Zhou Tieyi was here to solve the problem, the people at the exchange no longer cared whether Zhou Tieyi was really a saint or not. Anyway, they had already half accepted the concept that Zhou Tieyi was about to become a saint. Now, if Zhou Tieyi could make up for their lost money, then Zhou Tieyi was a saint. If not, then he was. Whoever said he was not, all the people who bought stocks would be angry with him. This was the charm of stocks!

Zhou Tieyi saw that Lu Yuanbo had stabilized the situation, so he said, "I was not in Tianjing during this period."

Throw the pot out first.

"The changes in stocks are due to the influence of some policies of the imperial court."

The enemy is right above the court, you should know who it is!

"But I returned to the capital to see the emperor as soon as I heard the news. The court has already come up with a plan at the morning court today."

As soon as I heard about your problem, I came back to solve it immediately, and now the problem has been solved!
Lu Yuanbo bowed and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the court's solution?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "It will be noon soon and you will get the news soon. This will be great news. It will allow everyone to make money, a lot of money, unimaginable money."

Zhou Tieyi kept the secret at this time. After all, explaining the court policy would not only lose his reputation but also be detrimental to the implementation of this policy.

Ten billion taels of silver.

How can we stimulate people's greed without thinking about it?
On the contrary, the kind of explanation given to smart people in the court is not conducive to dissemination.

So he just needs to use the simplest words and keep emphasizing making money, making a lot of money.

As for how to make money, that is not something that a saint like him needs to explain.

Zhou Tieyi looked at everyone again and continued, "However, this sudden stock crash also serves as a warning, that is, national policies have too much influence on the stock market. When the country releases policies, it should give the stock market a buffer time to reflect the needs of the people. Therefore, the stock management mechanism should continue to be improved. You can offer your suggestions later and report them to the court."

Since stocks and public opinion can be used, Zhou Tieyi will naturally make better use of this sword. Once the ten billion taels of policy come down today, Daxia will be even more dependent on the Tianjing Stock Exchange. In turn, it will be easier to use stocks and public opinion to influence the court's decision-making. This is how Wall Street in the previous life developed slowly.

Of course, how to improve the management mechanism? In the exchange, Zhou Tieyi is now the only one in power.

He didn't need to discuss this with anyone else, because the Queen's forces who wanted to extend their hand just now were beaten back by him, and now they finally stabilized the situation, and no one wanted to take the blame for the ten billion taels of silver.

Therefore, whether it is announcing a suspension of trading, circuit breakers, or emergency funding guarantees, these policies can be implemented. Behind each policy, there are countless benefits to be tapped.

After saying this, Zhou Tieyi disappeared like the hazy moonlight.

The people in the exchange looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. However, Zhou Tieyi's credibility was well known to all, so everyone was willing to wait. The result would be known in just an hour. The exchange also knew that everyone was in a heated mood today, so they did not drive anyone out during the lunch break. Instead, they allowed the surrounding vendors to enter the exchange to sell food.

And the imperial court did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Zhou Tieyi was able to appear directly in the Daxia Exchange, which was something no one else in Tianjin could do. Even the Queen Mother had no way to seize this opportunity, so the latecomer must have been icing on the cake.

When the imperial court specially compiled the policy papers, it unexpectedly changed the usual practice this time. Not only did it send two drafts to the court gazette and Tianjing newspaper for publication, it also compiled three copies of the policy papers and sent them directly to the Tianjing Exchange, in order to stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible.

When the manuscripts appeared at the exchange, Lu Yuanbo picked up the first manuscript and began to read it in full view of everyone.

"Request for Ten Billion Taels of Silver".

When they heard this number, everyone held their breath.

Because this was indeed as Zhou Tieyi said, it was a sum of money they had never imagined.

This number alone seems to have the power to change reality.

Then the policy paper directly stated that the Great Xia court had to first purchase 40 million taels of Railway Chamber of Commerce stocks. Then everyone saw that, escorted by teams of God-Slaying Division, carts of silver bills were transported to the Great Xia Exchange and placed in front of the counter.

Even though this is just an appearance, it is needed now to prove that not only is there no problem with the Tianjing Exchange, but it is also better than ever under Zhou Tieyi's solution. Everyone will make money, huge profits!
"One billion taels, even if it is distributed among the people of our world, each person can get at least two taels and five cents of silver!"

A businessman suddenly shouted out this 'famous saying' in the silence!
It pulled everyone's thoughts back to reality from the unbelievable fantasy world, and then when the lunch break was over and the first transaction order began, the green on the screen completely turned into red, stirring every nerve of everyone.

The people present now had only one thought: Zhou Sheng was wise! If he was not wise, why would he let everyone get the silver?
