    ?

    The next day, early morning.

    Early on, Bhatra came to the palace to have an audience.  He waited for about a quarter of an hour, then entered the main hall, saw Du Qi who had washed up and had breakfast, and Bhadhara said respectfully: "Chen Bhadola, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

    Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

    Ba Tuo Luo sat down immediately, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said: "This is a memorial drafted by the minister. It involves the person to be arranged, please read it through Your Majesty."

    Du Qi took it over and looked at it. The paper of this folder is not bad. Although the texture is not as good as that of Tang Dynasty paper, it can still be used, and the writing on it is the characters of the Central Plains.

    This surprised Du Qi a little.

    Seeing Du Qi looking over, Batuoluo explained: "Your Majesty, the above content was written by the merchants of the Xia Kingdom who were doing business in the city."

    Du Qi nodded, seeing that there were only four people's names on it, and the positions of four people were also drawn up.  Except for Devonado who is the governor of the governor's office, the other three are just ordinary officials of the governor's office, not important positions.

    Du Qi nodded after reading it.

    It is good that Bhatra people are not greedy.  If there is a long list of people on Batuoluo's list, all of them will be stuffed into the governor's mansion and hold important positions, Du Qi will definitely not agree to them all.

    Du Qi closed the notebook and said: "Bhathara, I have approved your memorial. Devonado will serve as the chief historian of the governor's office, and the rest will also serve on their own. For the remaining vacant officials, I will arrange for people to fill them up.  "

    Badhara said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    After a pause, Bhadhara said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report here."

    Du Qidao: "But it doesn't matter!"

    Bhadhara said: "Your Majesty, when I was in charge of Gandhara State, in addition to the 10,000 or 20,000 troops in the city, there were also 6,000 elephant soldiers. It's just that this elephant soldier was located outside the city. Because  Yesterday, I was busy preparing for the Governor's Mansion, as well as deploying and arranging officials, so I didn't have time to report it. I will report this matter specifically today, and ask Your Majesty to reorganize the elephant soldiers."

    There was a look of approval in Du Qi's eyes, he waved his hand and said: "You call back the elephant soldiers, and I will reorganize myself."

    Bathara said: "I obey the order."

    Du Qi also said: "Baduoluo, I am now in charge of Jiantuoluo State. Since Jiantuoluo State is included in the territory of our Xia Kingdom, then I will treat it in accordance with the laws of Xia State. Right now, Jiantuoluo State  An adjustment needs to be made to abolish the previous harsh criminal law and the previous system. In this regard, you will arrange it."

    Ba Tuo Luo said: "Your Majesty has arranged, and I should implement it. It's just that I am stupid. I implore Your Majesty to give me some pointers. What exactly should be abolished?"

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "First, abolish the transcendent status of monks. From then on, they are only the people of our Xia Kingdom, and they are no longer detached people."

    Badara's complexion changed slightly.

    Monks are religious figures and are the spokespersons of Tianzhu theocracy.  If the status of these people is to be abolished, the entire Gandhara state will definitely be shaken.  Even, Du Qihui was resisted by countless people.

    But Bhatra kept Devonatha's suggestion in mind, and said: "Your Majesty arranged it, and I should honor it."

    Du Qi continued: "Secondly, in our Xia Kingdom, all officials and common people are treated equally. There is no distinction between the four major caste systems in Tianzhu, and there is no distinction between high and low. In Jiantuoluo Prefecture, the caste system must be abolished.  All the same identities. The once privileged class no longer exists."

    As soon as these words came out, Ba Tuoluo finally couldn't hold back. His mind was in turmoil, and he looked at Du Qi and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, once such reforms are made, the person who is most likely to be affected is actually Your Majesty!"

    "Because of you, you are the one with vested interests."

    "Once this system is abolished, the untouchables can be promoted, and may even become officials, and it may even develop to the point where it may affect your status and even affect the stability of the empire."

    Bhadhara said: "Aside from other things, it is not a cost-effective thing to analyze from this aspect alone."

    Du Qi couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

    Badhara said: "What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?"

    Du Qidao: "Perhaps as you said, with the abolition of the caste system, countless people in the lower class will have more possibilities, and even in the future, it may affect the stability of the empire. But for me, I don't worry about it."  These."

    "As long as the Xia Kingdom is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the Xia Kingdom will naturally be stable."

    "In addition, the long-term stability of the Xia Kingdom is not determined by any class, but by the people who are loyal to the Xia Kingdom, and the people who are loyal to the Xia Kingdom.?Support.  So this reform is imperative.  "

    "I don't want to see so many oppressed people in the territory of our Xia Kingdom."

    Du Qi said: "They are born as human beings, why should they be inferior to others. Or, as the lord of a country, you Bhadhara, according to my understanding, you are only born with the surname of Kshatriya, not the caste of Brahmin. Why,  The Brahmin caste is superior."

    Bhadhara said: "They are superior to others."

    Du Qi said: "Whoever stipulates it, they are superior to others."

    Bhadhara said: "God ordained it."

    Du Qi said: "Who endorsed the divine right, and who explained the divine right? They are all people of the Brahmin caste. They explained the divine right, so it is said that God let them rule the world. All this comes from them.  Contradictory."

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Badara, no one in this world can get something for nothing, and the same is true for monks. The same is true for these Brahmin castes. Don't you want to take a look at their appearance after falling into the mortal world.  "

    "Of course I want to!"

    When Bhadhara heard the words, he immediately spoke.

    His heart was actually instigated by Du Qi, because on weekdays, even if Bhadhara was the lord of the country, because of his caste origin, in front of people of the Brahmin caste, especially in front of some monks and princes of the Brahmin caste, he would also be in front of him because of his birth.  But he was criticized, so Bhadhara has such ambitions in his heart.

    At this moment, it has been lit by Du Qi.

    Du Qi nodded and said: "If you want to, then implement this reform and abolish the caste system."

    Bhatra said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, once this reform is implemented, countless turmoil will inevitably arise. Even if Your Majesty is in charge of Gandhara State, there must be countless people in this city who want to rebel and rebel against you. They will hate you  .Even in the rest of Gandara Prefecture, there will be an upsurge of rebellion everywhere."

    Du Qi laughed and said, "Bhadhara, you have forgotten one thing. Who will benefit the most from the reform of the caste system? It is the bottom craftsmen, slaves, servants, and  Ordinary people."

    "Since then, as long as they have the ability, they can be officials. They can be promoted after they have made meritorious service on the battlefield, and they will no longer be oppressed by the caste system. Under this premise, the common people have their hearts towards us, and even the soldiers stand with us.  On our side, how much power do these princes and nobles, monks and Brahmins who do not produce children have?"

    Du Qi said: "Perhaps relying on strong suppression, they can mobilize some power. But more people will gradually turn to them. Because we are here to save them."

    Badara's cheeks changed slightly.

    Du Qi's starting point is different, and the issues he considers are even more unthinkable.

    However, this can shake the foundation of the caste system.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
