Chapter 230 No regrets(1/2)

Soon, a video of a hundred players infiltrating the emperor and officials of the Qi Dynasty was displayed in front of Wang Wenchuan.

At the beginning of the court, Meng Yuan, who played the emperor, Chu Ge, who played Wang Wenchuan, and other ministers of the court played by the player, such as Yu Shi Zhongcheng, etc., launched a surprise attack on the old party, catching the old party off guard.

Immediately afterwards, the reform began with great vigor.

The details of the reforms carried out by officials from various places are interspersed with each other. Among them, Wenjun Shi's experiences in Henan Prefecture, Xijing, are also highlighted.

Wang Wenchuan and the audience in front of the screen held their breath and watched carefully.

And those players who had personally participated in the final trial also took it very seriously at this time.

Although they participated, they only knew the situation in their own prefectures and counties. They actually did not know much about the entire Qi Dynasty.

At this time, this drama has perfectly edited the performances of officials from various places together, and interspersed the narratives in an orderly manner.

Therefore, even for players who have experienced it personally, they can now have an overview of the overall situation from the original isolated state of blind men and elephants.

In fact, putting aside the technology line, the details of the process of implementing a new law when hundreds of players travel through it are not that special.

It is nothing more than a fixed implementation of the new law in strict accordance with the relevant areas.

For example, with regard to the Green Crops Law, what these officials have to do is nothing more than to conduct a pilot project when Wang Wenchuan was the county magistrate. They personally go to the countryside to inspect the people's conditions, carefully determine the loan goals, confirm the farmers' ability to repay and their willingness to borrow, and at the same time communicate with the officials and farmers.

It is just to describe the policies of the Young Crops Law, strictly implement the provisions of the Young Crops Law, and severely punish those who forcefully allocate youth loans or privately increase profits.

If we only look at the content, these measures seem unremarkable.

But when every state and county across the country is able to achieve this situation, the prospects of the new law will change dramatically!

Wang Wenchuan watched these players conscientiously implement the Green Seed Law one by one. For some reason, tears flashed in his eyes.

He saw the shadow of his own past in these players.

Once upon a time, he was just an ordinary magistrate.

During his tenure, he conducted several pilot projects of new laws, especially the prototype of Qingmiao Loan that he came up with at that time, which achieved great success.

Farmers praised him for his well-organized local governance, which even made Wang Wenchuan famous all over the world. The calls for him to join the government became louder and louder than ever.

It can be said that Wang Wenchuan became the Prime Minister, which was widely expected at that time.

Many people with lofty ideals believe that the only way to save the Qi Dynasty is through reform, and as long as there is reform, Wang Wenchuan must be used.

But why has decades passed in the blink of an eye, and he is still dedicated to serving the people, yet he has become so fiercely criticized that people all over the world want to compare him with those traitors who have brought harm to the country?

Perhaps Wang Wenchuan also knew that he was burdened by villains, but he had always had high demands on himself. If the reform failed, he must have spent countless sleepless nights placing the greatest responsibility on himself.

The scene he saw at this moment showed him another possibility.

That is: What if everyone from the emperor to local officials shares the same mind and heart with Wang Wenchuan and promotes the new law without any selfish motives?

In the court, although the emperor played by Meng Yuan looks like a hands-off shopkeeper who knows nothing and knows nothing, his unconditional trust in the new law has surpassed the real emperor in history.

Wang Wenchuan couldn't help but sigh: "The Holy Emperor rules from the top down, that's all."

As long as he is good at employing people, a monarch with mediocre talents and a love of pleasure can push his country to the position of hegemony;

On the contrary, if a monarch has a very high political level, but only uses people to amass wealth and checks and balances, treats the world as private property, and treats all officials as domestic slaves, then such a smart emperor will also become a disaster for the country;

As for those emperors who have great talents but no general strategy, great ambitions but no perseverance, and want to employ people but are suspicious...

All that was left was a sigh.

Those local officials who wholeheartedly implement the new law are even rarer.

These officials possessed by the players are basically Wang Wenchuan's old acquaintances.

But their behavior at this time made Wang Wenchuan feel extremely strange.

The villain who was originally good at working hard actually worked hard without considering promotion or falsifying his performance;

Officials who were originally hesitant were able to unswervingly implement the new law and fight against stubborn local forces;

Officials who originally had no talent and only knew how to mechanically and rigidly execute orders from their superiors were actually able to adapt measures to local conditions and the times, and adjust some measures of the new law according to the actual situation.

There may be some people's handling methods that Wang Wenchuan does not agree with, but generally speaking, Wang Wenchuan feels that each of these people is like himself.

This image does not refer to the specific means of implementing the new law, but to this kind of self-interestless intention to serve the country.

One Wang Wenchuan could govern a county well, but he could not govern a country.

But what if all the county magistrates and prefecture magistrates in the world are people like Wang Wenchuan?

Then Wang Wenchuan's reform is likely to no longer be a failed reform, and Wang Wenchuan himself will become an undisputed sage prime minister, a figure alongside those famous officials in ancient times.

In the end, in the face of the huge results of the new law, Wen Jun on the screen really doubted his life.

He couldn't figure out why the new law could be implemented.

Off the screen, Wang Wenchuan also fell into silence.

There were tears glistening in his eyes, and the expression on his face was filled with relief. This was because through this extremely real scene, he saw the possibility of the success of the new method.

He saw that the Young Crop Loan and the Labor Exemption Law had really reduced the burden on farmers at the bottom, and the old farmers in the fields also praised Aoxiang.

He saw that the new laws enriched the country and strengthened the army, filling the national treasury;

He saw that the atmosphere in the court had cleared up, and the ministers no longer fought with each other. They worked together to make the Qi Dynasty stronger, able to withstand foreign humiliation, and to make the people in the north no longer fearful and worry about foreign tribes going south.

Life is ruined;

He saw that the battle between the old and new laws had finally come to an end, and the success of the new laws had left those old party officials speechless...

These are, of course, gratifying parts.

But at this time, Wang Wenchuan obviously also had other emotions.

He clearly realized that his new method might not be successful from the beginning.

"Perhaps what Zhang Renxia said is right.

"He once said, if the emperor is wise, all officials are honest, and the atmosphere of the government and the public is clear, then I can become an unparalleled virtuous prime minister and create a peaceful and prosperous age for the Qi Dynasty; but if all the officials are dim and the people are not wise, then I can

He can only become a person who brings trouble to the country and the people, and is reviled.

"From this, he is right.

"The simulation of the new method by future generations has indeed succeeded under ideal conditions, but this kind of success has too many prerequisites.

"If such conditions really exist, we can create a glorious and prosperous age using the old method, so why should I bother to change it?"

Players who travel through time into the bodies of emperors and officials are actually in an ideal state that is close to a strategy game.

In strategy games, players can give an instruction at will and it will be carried out to the letter.

All the data you see is real, there won’t be too many confusing options, and you don’t have to worry about some key information being misleading.

The same is true for players' simulations of new laws under ideal conditions.

From grassroots officials to the top decision-makers, there is a highly consistent common goal, similar knowledge reserves and talents, and this state of highly bound interests will not be affected by any other factors.

But this is an ideal state after all, and it can never be achieved in reality.

Reality is not a strategy game.

In reality, every instruction given by a top-level designer may be misinterpreted by anyone at any level into other forms, or may be overcorrected, or violated, causing the original design to be completely changed beyond recognition;

The various feedback data that top-level designers get from the bottom may be full of false information, water injection, concealment, or pure fabrication.

Officials at all levels have their own ulterior motives. Some do it for promotion, some do it for land and interests, and some just do it to keep their official position and don't want to do anything...

But people like Wang Wenchuan who can completely disregard personal interests and serve the public wholeheartedly will always be rare.

At this point, Wen Junshi's words may be regarded as a true truth.

"You must have people implement it."

No matter how good a policy is, it needs people to implement it, and officials at all levels are in this state. How can your new law be implemented?

After a long silence, Wang Wenchuan sighed: "There is no injustice until the new law is implemented."

Meng Yuan showed him three different possibilities, ostensibly as a relief, letting him see the beauty of the new law's success.

But in fact, it is also a reminder.

These three different possibilities actually explain the reasons for the failure of Wang Wenchuan's reform.

The line of power and prime minister is not a line acceptable to Wang Wenchuan, and it will have endless consequences;

It is not absolutely impossible to regulate the economy through state means, but it requires a certain social foundation and scientific and technological level. This will only mature after nearly a thousand years. In the Qi Dynasty at that time, it was simply impossible;

Or, the new law requires a whole set of selfless and unified bureaucracy, and this is obviously an extreme ideal state and impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Wang Wenchuan completely understood that the failure of the new law was not unjust.

No matter how many times he is asked to try it again, the new method will most likely fail, with almost no possibility of success.

Although this conclusion is very frustrating, it also makes Wang Wenchuan feel some relief.

After all, I know that what I want to do is something that is bound to fail. It is not entirely because of my lack of ability, but also because of the favorable time, place and people.

Immediately afterwards, came the battle of Niuzhuji.

Meng Yuan introduced: "Jing Gong, next, I want to introduce two people to you.
To be continued...
