In mid-December 274 AD, many uninvited guests poured into the mansion of Wei Guan, the governor of Xuzhou.

Among these people, the leader's surname is Chen Yue, and he is the current clan leader of the Guangling Chen clan (the father of the Jin general Chen Qian, Chen Jiao, was originally surnamed Liu. Because his father died early, he adopted the Guangling Chen clan with his mother's surname, so his branch could not become the clan leader). His ancestors were the famous Chen Deng. Others, including those with the surname Wang and Zhuge... Well, they are all well-known families on the ground of Xuzhou.

"Encourt, didn't the court say that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system will still be implemented this year? Why has the Da Zhongzheng reported the list for two months, but the court still has not appointed it?"

The system of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system gradually disappeared from the beginning of the Cao Wei Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It also experienced many changes. To put it simply, it is: the great families have become more and more control over this system, and ordinary landlords and wealthy families gradually declined. The fundamental change of this system lies in Sima Yi.

When the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system was first established, there was no position as a state Zhongzheng. The county-level Zhongzheng played a decisive role in talent evaluation. The state-level basically transferred the county-level evaluation of talents to the central government.

Sima Yi was the first to propose the establishment of Dazhongzheng at the state level, which played a leading role in talent evaluation. This suggestion was initially denied by Cao Shuang, the general of Cao Wei at that time. After the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi brought this suggestion out and turned it into a practical policy.

Let me ask? Compared with the county Chungzheng, if you have a little bit of assets and fame, you can win over the reputation. Who can become a big Chungzheng in one state? Of course, it can only be a high-ranking family. In this way, the originally relatively fair nine-rank Zhongzheng system suddenly became a personal tool for the high-ranking family.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why the top families support the Sima family’s usurpation of the throne.

In doing so, the Sima family ascended the throne, the top families gained the right to inherit the government, and formed absolute control over the secondary families, which was a huge benefit. However, it also paid a heavy price: without competition, the speed of corruption and degeneration of this class exceeded everyone's imagination.

However, because corruption and depravity are too fast, these aristocratic families are even more inseparable from this system.

When Ji Han entered the Central Plains, whether the Sima family died or lived was not related to the affairs of the men of the aristocratic families. As long as your new regime continues to recognize this system, we can bow to you and bow to you.

Therefore, when Guan Yi announced that the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system would continue to be implemented for one year in order to quickly stabilize Kanto, the eight prefectures of Kanto remained quiet throughout this year.

But now the problem is: this year is almost over. We have evaluated so many high-ranking, high-ranking, and other things, and handed over the list early. According to the previous process, should we hire a court official immediately or appoint a local official? It is almost time to have a glimpse.

Therefore, everyone endured it until mid-December to make trouble at the governor's house, and they were already very well-educated.

"Everyone, please be quiet, calm. You are all pillars of Xuzhou. Why are you so noisy in my official office? Please be quiet..."

"Just be quiet? How about quiet? Wei Jun, we are not as lucky as you, and we have such a beautiful daughter. We just hooked up with Guan Zifeng. You don't have to worry about the official position in your family now, how can we understand our anxiety?"

"That's it! I heard that Guan Zifeng's son was extremely ugly and his body was like black charcoal! Alas, Wei Jun, my admiration for you is really hard to describe."

"Ba!" Hearing these guys so explicitly mocking him for selling women for honor, no matter how good the temper is on weekdays, he can't pretend now: "Left and right, press these people to their respective seats!"

Wei Guan's guard was Ji Han's veteran of Guanxi. He had been impatient when he was watching these people's ugly behavior on the sidelines. At this time, once the commander gave the order, they would pounce on them like wolves and tigers.

"Ouch! Be gentle!"

"Ah, it hurts! Why are you so rude?"

"Ahhhh, my legs, my hands, broke, broken..."

"Wei Boyu, do you dare to humiliate us like this?"

Looking at the ugly behavior of everyone below, Wei Guan sighed deeply: "Everyone, the court did not issue a clear order to arrange the talents recommended for this year. What are the ways for me? But then again, although the Grand Sima repeatedly instructed me not to intervene in the Grand Central Review. But please ask yourself? Is the evaluation result of Xuzhou this year normal? Last year, in the nine ranks of Xuzhou, the upper upper is zero, the upper middle is three, and the upper lower lower is five. What about this year? The upper upper upper upper upper is one, the upper middle is eighteen, and the upper lower lower lower is thirty-seven. As for the middle grade, there are hundreds. It is really wrong to do this."

"Envoy Wei." After all, there was a cruel man who was like a wolf or a tiger behind him. At this time, the representatives of the aristocratic family dared not make too much: "What does this mean? It means that the great man entered the Central Plains and the heaven and earth's energy response! This is a great good thing!"

"We Xuzhou people are considered homemade. Look at Qingzhou in the north, there are not any upper and upper parts, but what about upper parts? There are 60 people! Twenty times more than last year!"

"Oh, my husband." After sighing, Wei Guan stood up: "If you have too many, I don't want to say anything. I will understand your purpose. I will immediately order someone to draft a memorial and ask the court how to act. In addition, the Wei family in Hedong, where I am located, has been dating many aristocratic families in Xuzhou for decades. So here, I will fulfill my last responsibility and read a letter to everyone."

...

"My father, Junjian.

My son followed his father's order and went to the west with his fourth brother. It was only a few hundred miles away and he felt a lot of emotion.

At first, because the fourth brother and fifth brother were weak and sick, they were unable to withstand bumps, and their son and four younger brothers were unable to take a boat. Therefore, they had to go to Qin by cart. Starting from Huayin, they were often ridiculed and despised along the way.

Along the way, I only felt that the people had courage and dared to face noble people. Officials had ethics, which were often seen in the fields. The ditches were crisscrossed, and the sun was covered with green shade. The seedlings were lush and the chickens and ducks were flocking. The peasant women sang beside the water, and children played by the pond. In a word, they were full of vitality.

When you enter Chang'an, the population is prosperous and the market is prosperous. People with high noses and deep eyes, blonde hair and blue eyes, and even black charcoal are everywhere. Although they cannot be said, they are not rare. They travel around the streets and households, and their dialects and languages ​​are filled with their ears. In the markets in the city, the famous horses, beauty, and all kinds of groceries are unheard of and unseen. They are quite dazzling.

I visited Chang'an fifteen years ago. Although the city was magnificent, the people were limited and the army was very large. Therefore, I felt cold and solemn. Today, Chang'an has a prosperous industry and a dense household registration. The roads have been renovated, and the streets are neat and smooth. People and vehicles are diverted, and left and right directions are divided. Although the crowds are turbulent, they are busy but not chaotic. Therefore, in the past fifteen years, they have made me feel like the world changes.

In the past, Chang'an had many troops, but the soldiers were listless and their armor and weapons were unbearable. In Chang'an, soldiers were occasionally seen in the city, and all of them were erect and their weapons were majestic. The lord had already taken the post of Xuzhou, and he should know that the court had newly awarded medals. Because his son had arbitrarily speculated, he was in Xuzhou. Most of the passers-by turned a blind eye to the veterans who could wear medals. However, in Chang'an, those who were given medals with medals were proud. Passers-by bowed their heads and greeted them. Guanxi Shangwu Chonggong's customs was already obvious.

My son recently visited the Chang'an Order and talked about government affairs. The Chang'an Order said: There are three new things in Chang'an that make him proudest.

One is a sewer. A cement ditches are laid under the ground, and all kinds of sewage flow on weekdays. The streets can be free of odor. In the midsummer, there will be no water accumulation in the streets in the city. The second is a sanitation worker. Starting from the hour of Yin and the hour of You, the streets are clean at any time. The third is a city management, which is in the market to ensure that all kinds of merchants operate in an orderly manner. It is in the market to ensure that the houses of the households are adjacent to each other and that they cannot be built randomly... Chang'an Order said, this can ensure that Chang'an's permanent residence will exceed one million in the future, and there will be no plagues, floods, or fires.

There is also the Longshouyuan College in the north of Chang'an City, which has a wide area, more than ten times that of the Taixue in Luoyang. There are nearly 3,000 teachers and students in the school. They offer courses, including Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Law, Yin and Yang, vertical and horizontal, military strategists, and farmer families. They have the study of investigating things and the concept of poverty of heaven and man. There are also scholars from Taixi explaining Roman law and Persian law. The Grand Sima personally wrote books and explained in detail the root causes of social evolution.

Although this school focuses on cultivating state officials, it still focuses on physical skills and physical training. As children saw that all the students in this school can gallop on horseback, and there are also praises for bow skills. Although the martial arts skills are not worth mentioning than those of Wuzhangyuan College. However, if they encounter a treachery, they will also have the ability to protect themselves.

When the son saw that Zhao Gongyu, the first grade student of Longshouyuan College, was assisted in the sacrifice of Zhao Gongyu, the surname Zhao Gongyu, was a tuition-stricken student in the year-end examination papers of four first-year students. None of them scored more than 60%. Zhao Gong said: This is because he failed, so he should be kept.

The son was angry and thought that he was deliberately making things difficult for the support of the sacrifice. Ran Annu said that last year he used the reference to the age of eleven, and the scores of all four subjects exceeded 90%.

I am ashamed!

The longer I live in Chang'an, the more I feel that this place is separated from Luoyang. High officials here talk about practical things, and they must provide evidence or examples, otherwise they will say that they have nothing to say and lack support. There are powerful people, wealthy businessmen, entertainment, drinking, and prostitutes. However, those who like to hear and see are called football and basketball. But our Guandong is flooded like five stones, and those who dare to swallow it here are all unwilling to the world.

Today in Guanxi, officials and people are one family, the people live and work in peace, officials are striving for progress, young people are strong in their bodies, and young people have their own care. Although various flaws can still be seen, flaws do not conceal the merits. Compared with Guandong, it is full of vitality and a prosperous school. Even blind people can also suffer from it.

In addition, in Longshouyuan, I also met the Cao family and the Sima family...

Although my son is thirty-five years old this year, he has made up his mind to abandon all unnecessary faces and first go to the fifth grade of Chang'an elementary school to attend the entrance examination. He then took the Longshouyuan entrance examination. In the past, he participated in the evaluation in Hedong and was also the first middle school. After a year of tutoring, he will definitely be able to enter the school smoothly. However, for at least five years, he cannot be filial to his father. He also hopes that the adults should take care of their health and do not think about their children.

The four younger brothers all chose the same choice as the child. The fourth and fifth brothers were too weak and young, so they should go back to school in the first grade of Chang'an elementary school. The child and the second brother had already believed in the Hedong family and wanted to send our sons to Chang'an and then go to Chang'an elementary school to study. However, Annu said that the Chang'an elementary school is full, and the admission quota for next year has been booked by the children of martyrs. Therefore, they could only attend the school as attendants... Despite this, the child still thought that this matter should be done...

In short, the young generation of Kansai is more than ten times better than the children of my Kansai family... The Grand Sima has made a great move, and the world is close to me. If we don’t rise up and catch up, there will be no more Kansai family in Kansai family...

Erwei secretly worshipped him, and on November 30, the third year of Guiyuan, the Han Dynasty, Chang'an."

....

After reciting the letter from his eldest son, Wei Guan swept through the silent people below: "Everyone, how about your children, how about my dog ​​son?"

Is this too much? It really can't be compared. In addition to being handsome, the Wei family can still do practical things. Not to mention that Wei Mi, as the eldest son of the Wei family, had already become an official when Cao Wei still existed. In recent years, people have been well-informed in the court, and are much better than most of these young people who have never left the Xuzhou area this year!

But now the Wei family actually says that ordinary scholars in Kansai are ten times more talented than him? Doesn’t this mean that our children are all trash?

Just when no one knew how to answer, a guard hurriedly walked in: "Empress, the court has a new government order."
Chapter completed!
