Chapter 221

After these words, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er both showed expressions of disbelief.

This plan is not yet vicious?

Once this military rank system comes out, the whole Da Qian is involved in reshuffling, and even the six kingdoms have rolling heads, so the person who proposed this plan will definitely be controversial.

As a result, Gao Yang said that this is not the most vicious part!

"Rebellious son, be cautious in your words and actions!"

Gao Feng was also a bit scared, fearing that Gao Yang would say something shocking.

Gao Yang ignored Gao Feng directly and continued, "If you want Da Qian to be strong, besides the military rank system, it is not enough; you must also have auxiliary means!"

"After all, Da Qian is not strong, how can you launch war after war?"

Wu Zhao also realized the key point of the problem. The twenty-level title system is not enough, and Da Qian needs to be strong.

"Continue!"

"The second half of my plan is also called the Five Arts of Governing the People!"

Just one sentence, but it carried enough danger to make people gasp!

"What are the Five Arts of Governing the People?"

Wu Zhao looked directly at Gao Yang.

"Simply put, if Your Majesty wants Da Qian to be strong in a short time, like a war machine, then you need to exploit the common people."

"I call it Weak, Poor, Tired, Humiliated, and Stupid!"

Just this one sentence made Wu Zhao's eyes show disbelief.

If Wu Zhao wasn't sure before, she was sure now that Gao Yang's capitalist means were dragon-slaying art!

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong also clenched their fists, their hearts filled with endless horror. No wonder Gao Yang said this plan could not be leaked; otherwise, he would definitely die, and even the whole Dingguo Duke Prefecture would be implicated!

Whoever says this will die!

Gao Yang's expression was calm, "The two opposing viewpoints in the 'Das Kapital' I learned correspond to these two strategies of mine!"

"The first one is the Five Arts of Governing the People. If Your Majesty wants the government to be stable, you must collect the weapons of the world in Changan to reduce the resistance of the common people of Da Qian. The way to strengthen the nation lies in weakening the people!"

"Secondly, from the perspective of human nature, laziness and enjoyment are human nature. If a family has surplus food, they will be idle!"

"Your Majesty needs to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, but you must control taxes, or even increase taxes, to make most of the common people of Da Qian struggle on the line of food and clothing."

"Secondly, among the Hundred Schools of Thought in Da Qian, you should emphasize the Legalist school, govern the nation with heavy laws, and the Legalist school has a viewpoint: when common people farm, they cannot listen randomly, cannot speak randomly, and cannot whisper to each other. It is like a donkey pulling a mill; people will cover the donkey's eyes."

At this moment.

Gao Feng staggered, unable to stand firmly, and almost sat on the ground.

He looked at Gao Yang blankly.

If this is the case, aren't people even worse than donkeys?

Gao Tianlong looked over.

Gao Feng hurriedly said, "Standing for too long, my legs are a bit numb."

Gao Tianlong was silent for a moment and said, "Help me, my legs are also a bit numb."

Gao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Tianlong.

Gao Tianlong's expression was complex. This rebellious son was crazy today; what did he dare not say?

"As for the last two points, I won't say much, but with Your Majesty's intelligence, you naturally know what I mean."

Wu Zhao clenched her fists.

Only two thoughts remained in her mind.

If the people are humiliated, the officials are respected. Only when the common people are endlessly humiliated, and even if the livestock are raised thin, they will be severely punished, will it be better to rule.

But what made Wu Zhao feel most terrified was the last one!

The art of emperors and the essence of governing the nation lie in land. If you can make the hearts of the people return to the land and agriculture develops vigorously, the nation will be rich and strong.

The common people should be stupid, not good at learning, and focus on farming. This is the foundation of Da Qian's strength.

This is the essence of rule and the foundation of any agricultural dynasty!

But these contents, even Wu Zhao felt cruel and bloody.

This was far more cruel than the rolling heads brought by the military rank system.

Shangguan Wan'er's legs also went soft, and she almost sat on the ground.

Until this moment, Shangguan Wan'er knew the terror of a capitalist. The learning of the Hundred Schools of Thought was not a concept at all in front of a capitalist.

These five points of Gao Yang were far more ruthless than the salt and iron monopoly!

But whoever dares to propose it, when Da Qian becomes rich and strong, he will have to die; he has to appease the public anger!

Gao Feng's eyes went dark, and he almost fell over.

Gao Tianlong no longer thought about his reputation after death.

"With the twenty-level military rank system and the Five Arts of Governing the People, Da Qian will become strong rapidly. At that time, the vassal kings of the world will not count for anything, and the six kingdoms will also surrender at Your Majesty's feet."

"Top Scholar Cui is dedicated to the country and is generous and impassioned. As a Top Scholar, the Cui family is a famous family in the world. It would be good if Your Majesty hinted for him to propose it."

"If Top Scholar Cui does not comply, it means he is unwilling to serve Da Qian, and Your Majesty should be cautious."

"Song Li of the Song family is the Minister of Rites, a second-rank official. It is also very reasonable for him to propose these strategies for strengthening the nation!"

"If it really doesn't work, Censor-in-Chief Yan Zheng is upright and unyielding. Your Majesty only needs to hint, and I think for the sake of Da Qian, even if he is torn apart by five horses and has no place to be buried, he will feel extremely honored!"

Gao Yang said with a hint of suggestion, and there was a smile on his face.
