Ming Dynasty: Domination of the World from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 418 A feasible pilot!

"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders."

After a lively chat, many scholars were completely convinced and felt the urge to die for their friends.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhu Biao said no more and got straight to the point: "Two days ago, the newspaper was published. You all have seen it, right? I want to hear your views and opinions on related matters."

Zhu Biao did not explain it completely.

But he believed that if one was really smart, he would be able to understand what he was asking.

Seek change!

At this point, whether it was his own idea or he was forced by Xia Zhibai, he had actually embarked on the path of "seeking change".

Zhu Biao had long been aware of this, but as Xia Zhibai said, there were not many officials in the court who were willing to follow his lead. Even if he wanted to do something, in the end he might not really do it according to his own ideas.

But he didn't like to just follow Xia Zhibai's advice.

If more people get involved, it will undoubtedly be more of a choice for Zhu Biao.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, you have to put a little bit of them everywhere.

He understands this principle.

As soon as these words fell, the people who were originally in turmoil calmed down a lot. Ren Hengtai raised his eyebrows, turned his head, looked at those behind him, and a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. After all, that "change of text" was related to His Highness.

Your Highness supports change.

Wu Qian and Zhuo Jing's faces changed again and again, as if a stone was pressing down on their hearts, making them feel short of breath. However, the two were also quick-witted people and quickly adjusted themselves, at least without showing too much expression on their faces.

When others were too timid to speak, Zhuo Jing spoke first.

Zhuo Jing stood up and said, "Your Highness, I had the honor of seeing the newspaper two days ago. According to Your Highness, it was about that 'Bianwen'?"

Zhuo Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Biao nervously.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and did not respond, but just gestured for him to continue.

Zhuo Jing's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of panic flashed across his face. He looked closely at Zhu Biao, not thinking that he had guessed wrong, and continued to grit his teeth and said, "When I first read that article, I actually didn't like it. I thought it contained many outrageous words, and compared to the situation in the world, it was too radical and crazy."

"But after carefully studying it over the past two days, I found that there seems to be some truth to it."

“The only constant in the world is change!”

“Change is a constant throughout history.”

"Throughout history, some dynasties became stronger due to 'change', while others became weaker due to 'change'. Change itself is not that scary. The key is in what direction it changes, with what purpose, and what it wants to become. If the change is based on the world, with truth-seeking and pragmatism as the direction, and with the goal of bringing peace to the world, this kind of change may be the foundation for a dynasty to truly prosper and last long."

"I currently approve of this pragmatic change."

"In fact, in the past two years, the salt administration of the country has been constantly innovating, and local roads have been constantly improving. The people have actually gradually settled down, which has also given the country an opportunity to slowly seek change."

"I believe that truth-seeking and pragmatic change is what the world longs for."

"The court can move forward in this direction." Zhuo Jing bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao and slowly returned to his original position.

His heart was not at peace.

In fact, he had prepared these words a long time ago. Since he was wrong two days ago, he had to correct it now. He was not so stubborn and would not think too highly of himself. The mistakes in this world could only be the fault of the ministers and subjects, not the court, His Majesty and His Highness.

Since you are wrong, you should correct it in time to avoid making further mistakes.

As for being ridiculed by others, he didn't care at all. A real man can bend and stretch. Compared with his future career, it is not wrong to turn back in time. It is better than being stubborn when knowing it is a dead end.

When Wu Qian heard Zhuo Jing's words, his expression changed.

He didn't expect Zhuo Jing to be so unprincipled. He had vowed before that he would never change his opinion easily, but he turned around and said something completely different, and even said it before him. This made Wu Qian feel very uncomfortable.

Wu Qian also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I feel the same way."

"Change itself is neither good nor bad. What really determines whether it is good or bad is the direction in which it changes. The Ming Dynasty has always advocated pragmatism, so the Ming Dynasty will only change in a pragmatic direction. Judging from the situation in the world in recent years, this change is beneficial to the world and has truly brought benefits to the people of the world."

"But change needs to be done step by step, and we can't aim too high, otherwise it's easy to deviate from the direction."

Wu Qian was also unwilling to fall behind.

Express all the thoughts in your mind.

He and Zhuo Jing had the same idea in mind. They had to change the impression in His Highness' mind as soon as possible and not let His Highness really think that they were "conservative and pedantic". His Highness was the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future heir to the world. If he could not keep up with His Majesty's thinking, even if he passed the imperial examination, how could he have a bright career?
They would never joke about their own careers.

Besides, what's the problem with changing my mind because of Your Highness?
Seeing Zhuo Jing and Wu Qian hastily express their opinions, many scholars secretly shook their heads with a bit of ridicule and mockery. These two people were able to change their attitudes according to the situation. When they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately changed direction, and their speed was astonishingly fast.

They didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

Xie Jin looked at the two of them coldly, but he didn't have much opinion. He said slowly: "Your Highness, change cannot be hasty or arbitrarily. It needs to be planned and arranged in advance so as to 'remain unchanged in change', so that the change is always within the controllable range."

"Just like the previous salt policy, the progress in the north was smooth and there were no waves. But once it fell to the south, it immediately caused various incidents, which made the court overwhelmed. Although it was an unintentional act, it did bring many hidden dangers to the world. This is only a relatively controllable change. If the court did not formulate detailed regulations and rashly launched some things, I am afraid that the impact on the world would be even greater."

“Therefore, I believe that we should seek change with a positive attitude and practice it in a careful and verified manner.”

"even"

"We can select a few places as pilot sites to see if something is feasible. If it is feasible, we can promote it further. If something bad happens, we should stop it in time to prevent the problem from expanding."

Xie Jin is young, but he is meticulous.

He had a deep understanding of "seeking change" and was always changing with the times. Therefore, compared with the "stereotyped words" of Wu Qian and Zhuo Jing, Xie Jin's words were obviously more profound and more thought-provoking.

Xie Jin's words made Zhu Biao's eyes light up.

What he wants is talented people who can think independently.

Zhu Biao smiled.
