At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Then he handed over the five classics after his punctuation to the workshop for printing.

In addition, there are some other books. For all the books that Mr. Guo could get, he took the time to read them one by one and segmented sentences one by one.

"Han Feizi", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Mozi", "Zhuangzi".

All of these sentences were punctuated by himself, published, taught in the Linzi training camp, and taught to Guo Jin himself for him to learn.

As for some of the training camp exclusive textbooks that he led to compile, teaching them how to do some practical things, of course, the vernacular and punctuation marks are directly used.

Reject jerky and difficult sentences, and reject deliberately difficult education methods.

Simple, understandable and efficient.

When imparting knowledge to the students in the training camp in Linzi, someone from Guo would first send someone to teach them how to recognize and use punctuation marks.

And teach them how to use punctuation marks to write articles and make sentences by themselves.

With clear punctuation marks and the teaching method of one textbook per student, the teaching efficiency has been greatly improved, and the class-based education method has been fully realized, and mass production of talents can be realized in a certain sense.

Not to mention too much right now, three to 500 people a year is still achievable.

In the future, if this teaching method can be expanded and a stable student source can be obtained, the talent gap will be completely resolved.

This is a definite future that can be seen.

This is a punctuation revolution that will determine the fate of the future.

And the biggest difficulty right now is that among the senior elite talents across the country, not many are willing to stand on their side.

Not to mention the top elite talents who account for only one-tenth of them.

There must be very few people in this group who can accept this plan.

Because this plan completely destroyed the foundation of their interests, and it was completely aimed at their interests.

Especially those families with family classics and old officials are absolute opponents, and the punctuation revolution will completely change their lives.

It is estimated that the Fourteen Schools who learned their family law and became an academic sect will also rise up to oppose and protest strongly.

This will also touch their interests.

They will definitely oppose strongly and set off violent protest actions, and even government officials with relevant interests will confront themselves with strong actions of collective resignation.

Non-interest-related gentry officials will also stand on their side out of sadness and some kind of interest exchange.

If they collectively quit, they could completely paralyze the administrative system of the entire country, and the administration of the Wei Empire would immediately come to a standstill.

If you do some tricks, mobilize the people in the manor that Mr. Guo can't control to rebel, and Mr. Guo will be devastated.

That was a fatal blow to the Wei Empire.

Not to mention the lower level, the higher the level, the greater the proportion of scholars and bureaucrats.

Even more so at the center.

Despite repeated attacks by someone from Guo, the proportion of scholars and bureaucrats in the central officialdom of the Wei Empire still accounted for about [-]%, and the proportion of humble bureaucrats was only about [-]%.

If all these scholars and bureaucrats give up their picks and quit, even if it is only a non-violent non-cooperation movement, it will be an unbearable burden for Guo.

Only [-]% of the humble bureaucrats are not enough to replace these tried and experienced scholar bureaucrats in a short period of time, and cannot undertake the administrative work of the Wei Empire.

Guo can't come up with enough reliable talents to replace them, and the talents cultivated by Guo himself have not yet been able to replace the existence of these top decision-making bureaucrats.

A country cannot live without a king, let alone a government.

If it is carried out by coercive force, they will all be killed, and of course all problems will be solved.

But after that, how should the country be governed?

These opponents are indeed sitting crookedly, but their ability to govern is also indispensable to the country.

Kill them all, the second-level rural government is okay, because the second-level rural grass-roots government does not have the existence of scholars and bureaucrats, but the central government of Wei State and the third-level local administrative system of prefectures, counties and counties will surely usher in a large-scale paralysis.

If the national order is to be maintained, all-round military control must be carried out.

Guo can't imagine such a future.

With Guo's military strength, it is absolutely possible to eradicate all the gentry families and wipe out all the gentry families physically, leaving no one behind.

If you go completely crazy and don't care about it, you can even kill Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Yi, etc., and the killing is extremely smooth.

Then, along the way, he could also eradicate the powerful manor, and completely control everything in the entire empire.

Fortunately, only about 50 people were killed, but blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.

Not difficult.

Moreover, killing and killing, maybe the other party just bowed their knees and surrendered without daring to do anything. Someone Guo directly harvested a group of brainless licking dogs, successfully took charge of the country, and could do whatever he wanted with ease.

To be honest, at certain moments, someone Guo really thought about it this way.

Even if you can exchange the 50 Wei troops you own to the limit, it is completely achievable, so military power is the foundation of feudal dictatorship.

Of course, after calming down, Guo still smiled wryly, thinking that if he had a semblance of reason, he would not do this.

In doing so, the superstructure of the entire country is abolished.

Use a knife to talk about everything, as long as it doesn't suit your heart, regardless of whether it is suitable or not, just raise the knife without saying a word, and use one move to destroy existence...

Is this still a normal country?

Someone Guo is Thanos?

If I really want to do this, I don't know what will happen in the future.

This is also the shrewdness of scholars, the horror of monopoly, and the headache of every centralized emperor.

Therefore, at present, Mr. Guo can only follow the established strategy, and through unobtrusive means, slowly, in a way of moistening things silently, through the accumulation of quantitative changes to achieve qualitative changes.

He wants to gradually win over more officials who stand on his side, gradually train and promote officials who support the punctuation mark revolution, so that they occupy a certain proportion in all levels of government.

After the proportion reaches a certain level, the gentry exists as a group, and they will be collectively abandoned by Guo and reformed collectively.

And the top gentry with family law inheritance and the first-class gentry who are close to them must be Guo's opponents.

The victims of this type of behavior—the humble bureaucrats and the more miserable Lishu bureaucrats—must be Guo’s supporters.

It's just that in the central government, there will definitely be fewer people who support it than those who oppose it, and there will be a lot of people who oppose it.

The appearance of punctuation marks is simply an act of digging their ancestral graves, and it is strange for them to accept it.

Not to mention the top gentry with the right to interpret who are directly related to their interests.

There are also first-rate gentry who are close to them and have internal inheritance of family law. Even the second-, third- and fourth-rate small gentry at the bottom of the gentry's contempt chain may not support Guo.

The Great Punctuation Mark Revolution is aimed at all scholars who want to monopolize culture to protect their own interests, and all those who want to be cultural aristocrats. In this group, there are bound to be very few people who hold the opposite attitude.

There are individuals who betray classes, but there are no classes who betray classes.

Guo does not have the energy to find individuals who are willing to betray the class one by one. He can only say that in the future revolution, such people will appear.

What Guo has to do is to ensure that in this great revolution, the normal operation of the national government will not be paralyzed when the uncompromising scholars and bureaucrats confront Guo in all directions.

This is the most important premise. He must be able to maintain the normal operation of the government, and the state's administrative machinery and violence machinery can operate normally.

Only then can the scholars be persecuted on a large scale.

Killing, exile, demotion, suppression.

With this confidence, Guo dared to attack the scholars in an all-round way, and even physically eliminated them, destroying, reforming, and forcibly solving the entire group.

With this confidence, even if tens of thousands of people were killed for this, to the point where blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up in mountains, Guo must complete this crucial punctuation revolution.

For this reason, Guo has already been preparing silently.

First of all, all the grassroots villages are in their own hands.

Create a new grass-roots regime, bypass the traditional three-level state, county and county, and fully control the more basic political power at the rural two-level.

Let the imperial power go deep into the local area, take root in the local area, and control its own basic market.

With the village in hand and the basic market in hand, someone like Guo will be able to stand firm, and even under the extreme state of military control across the country, he can maintain the regime for a period of time.

The scholar class did not exist to serve as officials at the village level.

None in the true sense of the word.

The noble scholars disdain to touch the humble and dirty mud legs. In their eyes, the secondary political power in the village is the mud legs' pigsty and private land.

These two levels, no matter what happens, are stable.

Since the stability of the rural political power, Guo, based on the rural areas, has continuously arranged for the poor children from the Taixue and Li Shu officials to attack upwards and serve as auxiliary officials in the county-level political power.

This is the biggest benefit that Guo has won for Li Shu officials so far.

Let them enter the county government as auxiliary officials.

After the establishment of the Wei Empire, local officials were restricted by someone named Guo, and a considerable number of assistant officials to the main local administrative officials were appointed by the central officials, rather than local officials themselves.

This created an opportunity for Guo to mobilize these people to seize the dominance and voice of the county-level government.

It is not enough to have secondary political power in rural areas.

The same is true in the county government.

As long as officials from humble backgrounds and officials from Li Shu can dominate the three levels of government in villages, townships and counties, then the most basic conditions for launching the punctuation revolution will be met.

Chapter 1019 One thousand and twenty-nine

Being able to control the three levels of political power in villages, townships and counties, and occupying the mainstream in these three levels of political power, is Guo's biggest political goal right now.

Therefore, in the county-level government, Guo must try his best to use the low-born bureaucrats he can control to control key powers.

Except for officials at the leadership level like the county magistrate, he required that most of the entire county-level political power be composed of his own people, so as to isolate the county magistrates and county chiefs who were born as scholars.

There is not only one county magistrate or county magistrate in a county, nor can the county magistrate alone be able to handle it.

There are tens of thousands of people in small counties, and tens of thousands of people in large counties. It is impossible for one person to handle it.

The county magistrate of the Han Empire was the official of Qianshi, the county magistrate was the official of Liubaishi, the magistrate of the large county was the magistrate, and the magistrate of the small county.

The Wei Empire reserved such a difference, but the county magistrate also gave a rank of one thousand stones.

Under the county magistrates and magistrates of the Wei Empire, there were also county magistrates in charge of culture and education, county magistrates in charge of armed forces, meritorious officials in charge of county officials' achievements, judicial officials in charge of records, and prison officials in charge of prisons. .

They control a county's administration, economy, daily public security, criminal investigation and other vital powers, and assist the county magistrate and county magistrate in exercising power.

These people can be appointed by officials who have passed the examination of Li Shu's origin.

So someone Guo appointed these people with good buttocks as county officials in the county-level government, occupying a dominant position.

In this way, the county-level government will not be chaotic or out of order in the future punctuation revolution.

Even if Guo and the scholars go to war in an all-out way, and the state, county and the central government fall into chaos, these auxiliary officials with real power can basically replace the county magistrates and county heads who were born as scholars in accordance with the emperor's decree, control the administration of a county, and stabilize the county government. .

If there is no chaos at the village, township and county levels, there will be no chaos at the grassroots level, and if there is no chaos at the grassroots level, the chaos at the top will be quickly quelled.

Among the candidates for county magistrate and county magistrate and above, although officials from Li and Shu backgrounds cannot serve, the children of powerful and powerful families can serve.

The poor and powerful have always been the target of Guo's alliance, and also the target of attack and suppression by scholars.

In the administrative agencies below the county level, someone from Guo can mobilize the children of the training camp and Lishu officials to occupy a dominant position and control the actual political power.

In administrative agencies above the county level, someone like Guo had to make good use of the poor children to compete with the scholars for the right to speak.

Guo has only won the administrative status at the county level for the officials who were born in Li and Shu, and it is not yet possible to go up.

Therefore, in the game between the state and county and the central level, Mr. Guo can only use the children of the poor and powerful as the main force.

Taixue is the base camp where the powerful children of poor families gather.

They study here, study here, and become officials from here, but they can't take the way of being filial and honest.

In the era of long-term confrontation and turbulent times in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the tyrants from poor families successfully broke through the restrictions of birth. Although it was difficult to rise, there was no rule that they really could not rise.

The gentry had not yet evolved into a clan, and the clans of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties did not yet exist, and they were not yet able to suppress the poor and powerful in all directions.

Officials from poor families are not restricted by Li Shu officials. They can strive for a way out in the political system of the Wei Empire, and can serve as county magistrates, governors, governors, and central officials.

Therefore, at the county level and above, they are the main objects of Guo's reliance.

They should know it themselves.
