Chapter 303: Randeng Arrives
After a while, the palace was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of wind blowing outside the window.
Uncle Wang Bigan slowly raised his head, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. He coughed lightly and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, this reform plan is indeed very valuable. It touches upon the very foundation of our Great Shang administration. If it can be implemented, it will surely bring long-term benefits to our Great Shang."
"However, implementing these reforms will inevitably affect the interests of our powerful merchants."
"They hold real power, and once the long-established interest structure is broken, it will inevitably lead to turmoil."
“Therefore, I suggest that before we push for reform, we can first set up relevant positions and organize a group of loyal and capable personnel to be responsible for the implementation of this aspect.”
"This will ensure the smooth implementation of reforms while avoiding direct obstruction by the powerful."
"At the same time, we must act with caution and ensure that every step is taken steadily so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Dashang."
After hearing this, Shang Rong also nodded in agreement. His face was serious and firm, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Yes, my king. Reform is never an easy thing."
"It requires tremendous effort and determination on our part to challenge those old systems and ideas that have become entrenched."
"However, this booklet on civil service reform by the Imperial Master can be said to be a fairly perfect plan."
"It analyzes the current problems of civil service administration in detail and comprehensively, and proposes practical solutions."
"If it can be implemented, it will definitely be beneficial to Dashang. I believe that we should seize this opportunity and work hard for the future of the country."
At this point, Shang Rong paused for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he continued:
"Of course, reform cannot be achieved overnight. If it is difficult to promote it across the board, we can start with a small pilot project."
“Select some representative places and conduct experimental reforms in advance.”
"Through pilot practice, we can accumulate experience, identify problems, and make timely adjustments and improvements."
"After the pilot is successful, it will be gradually promoted to all parts of Dashang. This will ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and reduce unnecessary turmoil and risks."
After listening to the two ministers, Emperor Xin felt that their opinions made sense. He pondered for a while, then turned to look at the Imperial Master Luo Shu.
Luo Shu's face was calm and firm, and his eyes revealed a profound wisdom.
Emperor Xin knew that Luo Shu, the Imperial Master, had always been his most trusted think tank. Now, he needed to hear Luo Shu's opinion.
So, Emperor Xin slowly said, "Master, what do you think of their opinions?"
"Is it feasible? I know that you took great pains to formulate this booklet on civil service reform. Now, I need to hear your opinions and suggestions."
After hearing this, Luo Shu stood up, bowed slightly, and started talking:
"Your Majesty is wise. I think the opinions of your uncle and the Prime Minister are both reasonable."
"Corporate governance reform is not an easy task. It requires tremendous effort and determination."
"But I believe that if we work together, we will be able to complete the reform of the civil service system in Da Shang."
"I suggest that we first follow the advice of Uncle Wang and Lord Shang Rong and set up relevant positions and organize personnel to be responsible for the implementation of the reform."
"At the same time, we will select some small-scale pilot projects to accumulate experience and then gradually promote them."
"As you two have said, this will ensure the smooth implementation of reforms while reducing unnecessary turmoil and risks."
After hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded in agreement. He knew the importance of this reform, as well as the difficulties and challenges involved.
However, he believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and take Dashang to a higher level.
So Emperor Xin continued:
"National Master, how do you think we should establish this official position dedicated to reform?"
"How should we choose the pilot sites? I hope you can give us more specific suggestions."
After hearing this, Luo Shu pondered for a while, combined with his memories of his previous life, and then slowly said:
"Your Majesty, I think we can set up a special reform committee, which will be jointly managed by Uncle Wang and Lord Shang Rong and will be responsible for coordinating and coordinating all reform work."
“At the same time, we can also select some talented and capable young people with aspirations to join the committee to inject new energy and thinking into the reform.”
"As for the selection of pilot areas, I think we should choose some representative places, such as some places where administrative problems are more prominent."
"In this way, we can not only accumulate experience through pilot practice, but also identify problems in a timely manner and make adjustments and improvements."
After listening to this, Emperor Xin felt that Luo Shu's suggestion was very specific and feasible. He nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, then let's follow the advice of the Imperial Master. I will immediately issue an order to set up a reform committee, with Uncle Wang and Lord Shang Rong jointly serving in this position."
"At the same time, I will select some talented and capable people to join this reform committee. As for the selection of pilot areas, I will also seriously consider the suggestions of the national teacher."
"We second this motion! Your Majesty is wise!"
Uncle King Bigan and Prime Minister Shang Rong bowed to Emperor Xin and echoed respectfully.
In this way, a civil service reform aimed at promoting the development of the Shang Dynasty slowly began with the joint efforts of Emperor Xin, Luo Shu, Wang Shu Bigan and Shang Rong.
……
In the Zhou army camp, a white light flashed, and three figures appeared outside the big tent.
When the light dissipated, three figures gradually became clear. They were Randeng and others who came from Kunlun Mountain.
They were dressed in fluttering clothes, and there was no trace of fatigue on their faces. Their eyes were filled with determination and wisdom.
A patrolling soldier passed by here and recognized Jiang Ziya at a glance. He immediately showed joy on his face, as if he had seen a savior.
He hurried out of the queue, stepped forward quickly, bowed, and his voice was filled with excitement and respect that could not be concealed:
"Greetings, Prime Minister! It's great that you're finally back!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya raised a gentle smile, stroked his long beard, and his eyes flickered. He spoke slowly, his voice steady and magnetic:
"Well, I am back. Is the king in the tent? I have something important to report immediately."
When the soldier heard this, the joy on his face instantly faded, replaced by an indescribable look of sorrow.
He lowered his head, his voice choking with sobs:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, since the day you left, the King has been resting in bed due to health reasons, and has not recovered yet."
"Everyone in the army is worried and looking forward to your early return to take charge of the situation."
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he frowned slightly and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He knew very well that the army was in a state of demoralization at the moment and he was needed to step forward and lead everyone out of the predicament.
So Jiang Ziya said in a deep voice: "Take me to see the king. No matter what, I want to see his condition with my own eyes before making any plans."
Upon hearing this, the soldier nodded in agreement and turned to lead the way.
