Chapter 452 Isn't it just a book

"As for the recruitment order, what is the specific recruitment standard?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"On talent, we can appropriately relax the requirements on moral character and family background!" Li Ming thought for a while, his recruitment order was based on Cao Cao's recruitment order in history, which he knew, and a few policies related to Cao Cao .

For example, the Jiupin Zhongzheng System, when he was mainly investigating the Jiupin system, he accidentally found out about this policy.Continue to investigate, and there will be a system of 'recruitment order'.In terms of farming, he also appointed Zhang Mo as the captain of Diannong to be in charge of this matter.

Later, after being reminded by his subordinates, he realized that this should be an official position leading the military or civilian villages, so when Ren Jun succeeded to the Diannong school lieutenant, he specially formed the military regiment.Considering the lack of arable land in Wujun and Kuaiji County, at Wei Teng's suggestion, [-] Yue people were sent to garrison the fields, and two generations of their families went to Yizhou together to conduct military garrison there.

"The aristocratic family will probably seize moral issues to protest, even if it is the Yu family or the Gu family, I am afraid they will openly oppose it." Guo Jia shook his head when he heard the words, "For the aristocratic family, the official position itself is their territory. Civil and military officials are an important position for them to expand the power of the family, how can they allow the poor family to get their hands on it? Besides, if a recruitment order is issued, it may not be a good thing for the poor family!"

"How do you say that?" Li Ming still couldn't turn the corner.

"It is difficult for poor families to study, and most of them need to please the aristocratic family to obtain the opportunity to learn. Since there is a recruitment order this time, there must be a recruitment order in the future, so the aristocratic family will inevitably be hostile to the poor family scholars, and the poor family children want to learn. I'm afraid it will become even more difficult. Over time, it will be difficult to produce talents from poor families..." Xi Zhicai sighed.

"Meow, what do you think I should do? Just let those aristocratic families take me out?" Li Ming immediately played a rogue.

"My lord!" Xi Zhicai stepped forward, "This time, the change of the officials in charge of the region can just buy us a respite for three to five years. By then, a group of humble scholars from Kuaiji Academy and ethnology will have graduated. Fill it in. In the future, we only need to expand ethnology and Kuaiji Academy, and it can be improved to some extent.”

"In this way, the children of the aristocratic family still occupy the majority!" Li Ming felt unwilling, "Why don't we directly set up rural schools in various townships to help school-age children and adults who are eager to study to enlighten them and teach them simple calculations... "

"No, the recruiting order will only disgust the aristocratic family at most, and the appearance of the rural school will probably make them crazy to resist!" Guo Jia's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he quickly came forward to persuade him.

"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Li Ming only felt that Guo Jia was a little overbearing.

"This is not scaremongering!" Xi Zhicai also quickly came forward, "If my lord wants to set up a rural school, it will be a blessing for the common people. However, this also violates the fundamental interests of the family, which is the monopoly on the cultural level. In order to ensure that the cultural If the monopoly is not broken, they will firmly resist the lord! Not only Kuaiji County or Wu County, but all the families of the Han Dynasty will firmly stand on the opposite side of the lord! The most important thing is that Luling County and Yuzhang County, the lord Not fully in control yet! Besides, Xinpi of Changsha County may not be of one mind with the lord again..."

"Could it be that this situation can't be changed for the rest of my life? I'm doomed to use less than [-]% of the officials to fight against the aristocratic families that occupy more than [-]% of the family?" Li Ming only felt depressed, although there were still [-]% of the poor But when they are officials, who can guarantee that they will marry the family and gradually move closer to the family in order to get promoted faster?
You must know that for such outstanding children from poor families, the aristocratic family has many means to win them over to become 'one of their own'.

"At this time, all you need to do is show the power of the patriarch!" Li You stepped forward immediately, "Since it is so easy to win over, it is useless for such a courtier to be talented, just find a reason to take it. The others Naturally, I will not be a fool, and I naturally know who I should be loyal to. Besides, in the family, it is not monolithic, and it is the emperor's mind to fight against a group of people with strength."

"It's just that we still can't change the status quo!" Li Ming couldn't help but feel distressed, "The filial piety system has long been an express way for the children of aristocratic families to get promoted. To put it bluntly, it exists in name only. I intend to combine rural learning and other means to establish a comprehensive talent selection mechanism." , it’s called the ‘imperial examination system’. I also know about this system, and I don’t think there’s any way to eliminate the disadvantages of a large number of children from aristocratic families entering the officialdom, but at least it can allow more poor families to have the opportunity to become officials.”

After finishing speaking, by the way, he explained his original plan and the concept of the so-called imperial examination system.

"My lord has such an idea, it's a blessing to the poor families in the world! I just want to promote it, but I can only slowly figure it out!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and remonstrated.

"Then tell me, how should I draw it slowly?" Li Ming was suddenly a little upset.

"The first step is to let the folks have more books. If you want to learn, you will naturally seize every opportunity to learn. Maybe you can find someone to copy thousands of enlightenment books and put them in the market. At least there will be hundreds of them. The key is that the cost is too high, and the loss outweighs the gain." Xi Zhicai had some ideas, but it was a bit difficult to implement.

The paper is too brittle and can be broken with a little force, so it is not suitable for long-term storage.Moreover, the cost of copying word by word is higher.Needless to say, if you use bamboo slips, it will take a lot of time and cost to carve seals on them.

The difficulty is no less than losing money and making money. Only in this way will the aristocratic family allow Li Ming to make arrangements.What's more, they will buy some of the thousands of books themselves, and the rest, as Xi Zhicai said, it would be good to have hundreds of books.

"Books? Hahaha, what did I say, it turned out to be books?!" Li Ming laughed out loud when he heard this. He seemed to have never thought of putting a large number of books on the market.

Probably because he was busy with the affairs during this period, he even forgot this method.

"My lord, do you have a clever plan?" Seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help asking curiously.

"Some time ago, under the suggestion of the lord, the people in the workshop further improved the papermaking technique. Today's paper is whiter and more flexible, which is very suitable for writing. The key cost has more than doubled compared to before, and it can be sold at a low price. ..." Li You knew some inside information, but as for him coming out at this time, it would amaze Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai more than Li Ming's personal explanation, and at the same time satisfy Li Ming's vanity.

"Add this method to make books, what do you think?" Li Ming finished speaking, took out his own seal, dipped some ink pad, took out a piece of white paper, and printed on it.

The three of them took a closer look, and naturally saw Li Ming's name on the white paper. The three of them were not fools, so they naturally realized something.

"In this way, the price of books can be reduced to more than double what it used to be?" Guo Jia couldn't believe it.

"It's not just doubled!" Xi Zhicai's brain became more active, "One engraving can be used repeatedly, and the cost of printing in large quantities will be lower. At that time, a book will be sold at half the current price, and there will be a lot of profit to speak of! "

"That is to say, is this method feasible?" Li Ming asked with great interest.

"My lord is wise!" The three of them clasped their hands in response. They didn't expect this matter to be so fast, and they found a breakthrough.
