[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

Yuan Huan brought Yuan Jing to the academy early this morning, not only to let him meet several gentlemen in the academy, but also to let the scholars outside know that Yecheng Academy is not only an academy, but also a stepping stone for them to become officials.

The imperial court was unable to control counties and counties, the great Han Dynasty had been torn apart, and the procuratorial system was about to come to an end. If we didn't want to be beaten to the Central Plains by the northern nomads like in history, the most important thing to change was the system of electing officials.

The imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has great disadvantages in the eyes of later generations, but for now, it can not only restrain the power of wealthy families, but also expand the source of officials. Emphasis on achievements, so whether it is for those in power or for the people, it is better than aristocratic families controlling the officialdom.

Jizhou now has no way to step up to the imperial examination to elect officials. In order not to arouse the counterattack of the world's aristocrats, it can only boil frogs in warm water like now. There are too many people to employ, and the talents under them are far from enough. There are only a few people who can be invited over.

There are indeed quite a few people who take the initiative to vote, but those people are mixed, and it is rare to be able to do nothing in a county or county, let alone make any achievements.

The government can only recruit famous Confucian scholars with names and surnames. Those talented but unknown people can only be buried in the countryside. Without adventures, they may be buried like this for a lifetime.

——The power of the country does not come down to the county, but the clan under the county, and the clan is self-governing, autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics depends on the gentry. 【1】

Since ancient times, imperial power has never penetrated into the clan township. Regardless of whether the imperial court is strong or weak, the clan township is governed by the local government itself.

When the imperial court was strong, the emperor personally appointed all the officials, from the prefect to the county magistrate, but when the imperial court was weak, the local powers would reassert themselves.

In order to solve this problem, the emperor pondered a lot of methods. The common subjects of the inspection are filial piety, maocai, virtuous and righteous, etc., and there are also a bunch of uncommon names, such as yin and yang disasters, filial brother Litian, as long as he has talent, the emperor will find The editor can make up a name to serve as an official.

However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. If any policy is implemented, it may become something that those in power can't imagine. The emperor wants to inspect and elect officials to strengthen the centralization of power. The people below don't want the emperor to intervene so much. It became another vicious circle.

It is said that the emperor came to elect talents, but the emperor could not go to the local area to select people in person. It is the local officials who hold the power of inspection. When they select officials, they pay attention to family status. You choose me and I choose you , choose to choose to go or those people.

How did the big family of ministers come into existence?That's how it came about.

Famous families will not suffer no matter what they do. They will enter the court and become officials, and they will become powerful in the local area when they retire. They will not wrong themselves anyway. the same.

The Zhongzheng official who was in charge of the evaluation was from a famous family, and the scholars who were selected as the nine ranks were of course biased towards the children of the famous family. The monopoly of the officialdom was not formed overnight, and the monopoly in the officialdom was not formed overnight. If you want to break this monopoly, you can only take advantage of the troubled times. With enough ability, a prosperous age can also be turned into a chaotic one.

Yuan Huan thought that he was not that capable, so he could only be thankful that he was in a world of great struggle and great change.

It is difficult for a child from a poor family to become an official, and it is not easy for a family member. The states and counties are in charge of their own affairs. Not necessarily willing to conscript them.

In the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, none of the pastoral governors of the prefectures were local people. Since the founding of the country, the system of selecting local officials or directly governing the grassroots by the elders of the village has been broken.

In order to avoid the favoritism of state and county officials, the emperor deliberately avoided the place of origin when appointing officials. Although it failed to solve the problem of local powerful forces running rampant in the countryside, the tradition of being an official in a different place has survived from generation to generation.

If you want to arrange the whereabouts of talents according to your own ideas, you must first have enough talents. If you don't have people who can be used, you can only send people to the place of origin no matter how unhappy you are.

There is no way for officials to be officials in different places to completely solve a series of problems caused by local powerful forces, but it does not mean that they can do everything. It is obvious that nepotism is much more difficult than before.

The premise of human relationship is human kindness. The governor and the county guard are airborne to the place. Even if the local rich family take the initiative to show their favor, they dare not treat each other as their own casually. However, the chief executives will not give them face. In any case, it will be much more difficult to use the back door.

General governors, county guards, and even county magistrates will bring their own officials with them when they take office. The new officials have three fires when they take office. In order to ensure their authority, they must also suppress the local wealthy families. How to establish authority?

After taking office, the prefects of various prefectures recruited the local aristocratic families to stabilize their positions. Liu Biao, Liu Yan and even Liu Yu followed this path, but the former recruited the local aristocratic clans, while the latter recruited the nearby nomads. The heel will immediately support its own power,

People from big families can use the power of the family to become officials in states and counties as before. Young people from small families can't catch up with Lier, so they have to find other ways to become officials.

Yecheng Academy is only an academy on the surface. Mr. Zheng Xuan is the dean and has not accepted any official position. Sima Hui and several other famous scholars almost live in the library. They also do not care about political affairs. On the surface, they have nothing to do with officialdom. But everyone knows that it must be much easier for scholars who have walked out of the academy to enter the officialdom than others.

If you are a good official, you will learn, and if you are good at learning, you will be an official. Master Zhou took out a collection of thousands of books to build a library, and invited many famous scholars to teach in the academy. It is impossible just to let scholars in Jizhou have a place to ask for advice.

There will be no pie in the sky. Master Zhou Mu opened the Yecheng Academy. Naturally, he has his own intentions. He used to learn literary and martial arts from the emperor's family, and now he has learned literary and martial arts from the state shepherd's family. Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be following Master Zhou Mu more promising.

Yuan Huan believed that those young people outside could understand his good intentions, and only hoped that the small number of children from poor families could persevere. There are many times more children from poor families in the world than those from noble families, but only noble families become officials. My son, now he has opened a gap in the door that was closed to the children of poor families. As long as he can seize the opportunity, the gap will become wider and wider.

Jing'er is still young, so she doesn't know what the Yuan family in Runan means. Before Yuan Shu came to Yecheng, the two uncles and nephews just met briefly. The little guy always forgets the unimportant things quickly. Forget about my uncle.

Only by treating yourself as a child from a poor family to study can you know the difficulties of a poor family in studying, so that even if you know the truth in the future, you can maintain fairness in the conflict between the poor family and the aristocratic family, and then you can know what to do to avoid detours.

The authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear, the big Han is a mess, and everyone from the emperor to the ordinary scholars is responsible. The reason is not that who gathered a crowd to rebel, nor who supported the soldiers and refused to obey the discipline, but that there was a problem at the system level.

If you can't break through and then build, you can only experience a hundred years of chaos like in history, and then slowly find a new way out.

The little guy Yuan Jing clenched his fists, his eyes sparkled, "Father, next time Brother Yi comes to the academy, I will follow, and then call Brother Yi and the others, so that we can not waste such a good opportunity together."

Father has worked so hard to get him to study in the academy, and invited so many gentlemen to come to the academy. If they don't study hard, how can they be worthy of father who has worked so hard?

Come together, must come, no one can be missing.

Good brothers must advance and retreat together, and no one can fail to learn from it.

Yuan Huan rubbed the little guy's head, "Since Jing'er is so active, how about you informing Sun Jiaxiaolang and Cao Jiaxiaolang in a few days?"

"Don't worry, father, I promise to complete the task." The young master Yuan Jing puffed up his chest, took the job with joy, shook his head for a while, and suddenly remembered something, ran to Xun Yu and asked, "Mr. Xun, Yun When can I come to the academy to study?"

Xun Yu looked helplessly at the excited young master, "Yun'er is young and doesn't know how to be polite, so he will be able to study with the young master by this time next year."

Yuan Jing nodded solemnly, expressing that he had written down the time, and at this time next year, he would definitely bring the milk bun brother Yun to the academy to train him.

Mr. Xun is so powerful, and as Mr. Xun's son, Brother Yun is sure to be better than blue.

Xun Yu coaxed the enthusiastic young master to play with Guo Yi, stood up to look at their master, sighed very tired.

The Yuan family in Runan, who was born in a poor family, has lived in vain for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has heard such an outrageous joke.

Yuan Huan just smiled and said nothing, letting these few people who knew the truth doubt life there.

The enrollment of the academy lasts for half a month, and the school starts after the assessment before the official lectures. There are still official business to be dealt with in the government office, they can't spend a day here, they have to go back after lunch.

It was hot in the afternoon, Guo Jia looked at the big sun outside and didn't want to move, so he hugged Guo Yi, trying to delay going back until evening with the excuse of cultivating a relationship with his son.

Yuan Huan glanced at the guy who was starting to cheat, and waved to Guo Yi to keep him away from his unreliable father, and then called the little guy to him and said softly, "Gentlemen are busy these days, so Yi'er doesn't have to come to the academy, and picks up from left and right." There is nothing important to come down, Yi'er hasn't played with Jing'er for a long time, so we just go back together."

Guo Jia:? ? ?

Guo Jijiu immediately changed his words, "Jiayi hasn't talked with the lord for a long time..."

"It's hot outside, Feng Xiao's body is weak, why don't we go until the heat dissipates in the evening." Xun Yu answered with a smile on his face, patted his friend's shoulder, and smiled like a spring breeze.

Guo Jia looked over with a bit of a toothache, "Jia and Wen Ruo have known each other for several years, but Wen Ruo unexpectedly would make sarcastic remarks. It is very cold for Jia to do such things that make things worse."

Yuan Huan stood up, walked up to Guo Jijiu and gave him a brainstorm, then turned to Xun Yu and said, "Just now Zheng Si Nong said that he has a student who is coming to the academy, Qinghe Cui's Cui Jigui Wentao Wulue If he doesn't intend to become an official, then let him assist Zheng Sinong in handling the affairs of the academy; if he intends to become an official, then I will bother Wen Ruo to help him."

"Don't worry, my lord, you won't have to worry about it." Xun Yu responded, and followed closely behind.

Lu Bu went out to arrange the frame, and Yuan Huan had a doll in his left hand and a doll in his right, talking to Xun Yu while walking, while Guo Jia was left at the end, and could only keep up aggrievedly.

The excitement belongs to others, and he is not worthy of it.

Yuan Huan sent someone to inform the gentlemen in the next room that they are busy these days, Guo Yi will go home and stay for a few days, and when the academy officially starts classes, he will pack up and send the children over.

Fortunately, the number of people was taken into account when it was built before, and the area allocated was large enough, otherwise the academy might not be able to accommodate so many people.

Guo Jia got on their lord's carriage with ease, coaxed and coaxed the two little guys to Xun Yu's place, and occupied the two cubs' seats without any guilt, "The library has attracted many students to Yecheng, And these students almost all want to worship under the great Confucianism. They had no connections in the past. Now that the academy opened, there are not a few people who come here for the fame of Zheng Sinong and others. Doesn’t the lord feel that the age difference between these scholars is a bit big? "

The academy is a place for teaching and educating people. It should be a place for young students to study and study. There can be children who have just started enlightenment, young children can have it, and teenagers can have it. If you really like reading, you can have more than 20 It's not impossible to be barely strong.

But now, there are not many children of the right age outside, most of them are scholars in their thirties, and there is also an old man with white hair. He suspects that person is older than Mr. Zheng Xuan.

Is this appropriate?

"This year's situation is special. It's not so much the selection of students by the academy, but the selection of officials in the name of the academy's assessment." Yuan Huan took his eyes back unhurriedly, put down the bamboo curtain to block the sun, and his sitting posture was in sharp contrast to Guo Jia next to him. In contrast, "These students come from afar, and those who can concentrate on their studies stay in the academy. There are not many people in the world who can concentrate on their studies and studies, and most of them still use this as a channel to become officials."

Guo Jia shrugged indifferently, taking advantage of the absence of the two little guys and no one else in the carriage disturbing him, he finally had a chance to ask a question, "My lord, let me ask you a question, why do you guys think you are from a poor family?"

It can't be that a father doesn't want to be a human being, and even fools his own children, right?

Yuan Huan chuckled, but didn't intend to hide it, "Jing'er didn't ask, and the servants of the mansion wouldn't talk too much in front of him, and the little ones wouldn't mention it when they were playing around, and the officials from the government In the official document, the owner of the private seal under Jizhou Mu's great seal is Yuan Huan, there is the Yuan family in Runan in the world, but there is no Yuan family in Laoshizi, our father and son are not from poor families, what else can it be?"

Guo Jia:  …

Come on, it's really that this father is not a man, and even fools his own children.

"My lord, the young master is smart. He can still be deceived when he is young and ignorant. When he grows up in two years, it is impossible for him to be kept in the dark." This made the father and son turn against each other.

Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile, "I never lied to him. At most, I just didn't tell him the truth when he was thinking wrong. After two years, he knew his life experience, and he was used to staying in the academy. Only by getting along with classmates can we not be trapped by the identity of the son of the aristocratic family."

"My lord." Guo Jia calmed down, looked up at the lord who looked soft and warm as before, and his voice was rarely serious, "The lord opened the academy to let the children of poor families to study, and you can use the excuse of lack of manpower in Jizhou to prevaricate it." , if you want the children of poor families all over the world to be able to read and write like the children of the aristocratic family, what kind of turmoil will be caused is clearer than others."

"Literacy, hyphenation, and interpretation of scriptures are the foundation of a family's superiority. Letting children from poor families study and become officials is nothing more than letting the world's aristocratic families join hands to work hard with us." Yuan Huan spoke slowly, as if he was not talking about desperately, but passing every house.

Guo Jianing kept her brows silent, and it took a long time before she spoke again, "Since my lord knows that this move may cause the world's aristocratic families to attack, why do you insist on going your own way?"

The Yuan family in Runan is the number one family in the Kanto region, and the four generations and three princes have a great reputation, but the Yuan family in Runan is not the only one in the world. Once his intentions are noticed, Guanzhong, Longxi, Jiangdong, and even the aristocratic families in the Kanto region will immediately fight with him. He turned his face.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. How will the Yuan family in Runan fight against the whole family?

Previously, the lord asked the craftsmen in the house to think about making paper. He thought that paper was just easier to carry than bamboo slips, and that it was made for easier handling of official duties. Now that he thinks about it, things don't seem to be that simple.

The paper is bound into a book, and the articles and scriptures are engraved on the board, and countless books can be printed easily. In this way, the situation that there is a book at home that can be regarded as a family heirloom no longer exists.

In the past, he always felt that this person was gentle and gentle, and he did everything without rushing, but he didn't expect that such an exciting event would come up, and he really didn't know what to say.

Guo Jia was frightened by the truth he guessed. He thought he was deviant enough, but he didn't expect that he was nothing in front of their lord.

What is deviant?This is true deviance!

If it was a poor family who came up with such an idea to fight against the aristocratic family, he could understand it, but their identity as the master of the family was there, and he himself was the most prominent patriarch of the aristocratic family in the world, why would he have such an idea?

Weird and weird.

"The academy has just started recruiting students, and I don't even know how many poor families will be able to enter in the end. Why did Feng Xiao think that we are going to be enemies with the world's families?" Yuan Huan sighed softly, not everyone As keen as Guo Fengxiao is, just as he said, in the first few years, Jizhou can be prevaricated by the excuse of insufficient manpower.

Chen Wang and Liu Chong raised troops to capture Yuzhou, which is to tear off the fig leaf of the princes' mutual attacks. The future world will only be more chaotic than it is now. All forces should pay attention to these adults, and a few young children can't get in. their eyes.

It is not uncommon to set up an academy. He can open the Yecheng Academy, and other people can also open different academies in their respective prefectures. In order to attract the hearts of the people, these academies cannot only be for aristocratic families.

Yecheng Academy can attract so many scholars because they started early and have tens of thousands of volumes of books in the library as bait. If they start to build an academy a few years later, only scholars from Jizhou can be attracted.

Those who can stand out in troubled times and dare to fight for the world are not fools. Jizhou can do these things, and they can do them too.

As for starting to make the children of poor families into officials in the future, when that time comes, the clans of the world may unite and they may not be able to pose a threat to them. Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun, and soldiers, horses, food and grass are all in their hands, and the noble families will rely on them In life, it is not impossible for them to shut up and not speak.

Guo Jia leaned against the carriage, resting his elbows on his legs and resting his face in a daze. He has always been bold, but just now he suddenly guessed that their lord's grand vision was frightened. .

The imperial court is dark, and the relationship network between courtiers affects the whole body. Most people become officials not for the people, but for fame and fortune. The court has been hopeless for hundreds of years. It is better to let the lord strike hard of.

They leveled the world and changed it to a new one, letting the people of the world know that being an official is for the people. Isn't it more interesting than following the steps?

The lord strategizes and keeps all parties under his command in a delicate balance. After a hundred years from these people, will the young master Yuan Jing be as capable as the lord?

The young master Yuan Jing was intelligent early on, but who can guarantee that the young master's heir is as intelligent as him?

Even if the emperor has absurd and unreliable existence, it is normal for a good bamboo to produce a few bad shoots. There will always be problems of one kind or another when governed by people. It is better to directly overthrow the framework that restrains them.

The lord deserves to be the lord, who can think of ordinary people but not, dare to do what ordinary people dare not do, and only such a person can become his lord of Guo Fengxiao.

Guo Jia and You Rongyan clapped their hands. After they figured it out, they felt relaxed. The carriage went all the way back to the State Shepherd's Mansion. General Lu got off his horse neatly. He was about to let the people in the carriage get off with his pedals when he saw Guo Fengxiao smiling happily. Jumped off the shaft.

What's wrong with this man?

Lu Bu frowned and looked over, feeling that this guy had never been normal, but in view of the new armor he was about to get, he still had to be patient and let someone hold an umbrella for him to block the sun.

He, Lu Fengxian, has always only looked at the benefits, and when he gets his new armor, this guy will continue to stay where he is cool.

Guo Fengxiao was so excited that he didn't notice the strange expression of General Lu Da. After jumping off the shaft, he immediately went to the back and knocked on the carriage, and said mysteriously, "Wen Ruo, I have a secret. Don't listen?"

"Secret?" Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, "What secret?"

Yuan Jing excitedly opened the bamboo curtain and poked his head out, "I want to listen, I want to listen, Mr. Guo whispered to Dad on the road, can't we keep it from us?"

"My lord's whisper, the young master will not know until he grows up." Guo Jia teased the little guy with a smile, and stretched out his arms to hug him out of the window.

The little guy is not big, so it's not a problem to get out of the window, but Mr. Yuan Jing doesn't believe in Mr. Guo's arm strength. He looks at this guy up and down, and turns his head to call for someone who can carry him out, "Feng Xian General~"

Guo Jia:? ? ?

Lu Bu handed Fang Tian's painted halberd to the soldiers next to him, strode over to catch the young master who refused to take the usual path, and carried him out easily.

It's not enough to just hug him out, he even raised his eyebrows at the disgusted Guo Guicai, and grinned with big white teeth.

Hey, he's not provocative, he's a friendly hello.
