Things in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have come to an end, and ended perfectly. Liu Yu's plan was finally realized, and the effect was even better than Liu Yu thought. The wealthy families did not dare to move easily, and ordinary people also ushered in
Peace, everyone seems happy.
But there are good strategies from above and countermeasures from below. Noble families dare not openly oppose Liu Yu, but when it comes to their own interests, they cannot just watch and do nothing. Small actions from below are always inevitable. Secretly and on the books.
It is inevitable to make false claims and bribe the inspectors.
Liu Yu was also aware of this, but he did not suppress it vigorously. This policy has been launched. With the policy in place, it will be much more convenient next time to attack the aristocratic family. It is really accurate to catch it. So there is no need.
It's so troublesome and we have to go around in such a long circle.
Suppressed the aristocratic families and calmed down the internal troubles. Liu Yu, who was in a good mood, began to go to court seriously and handle various affairs. Although the biggest cancer in the Ming Dynasty was barely weakened, Liu Yu welcomed him again.
A new problem has arisen and we are running out of manpower.
This time, Liu Yu carried out a large-scale purge of the officialdom and suppressed the aristocratic families. Many officials were dismissed one after another. Many official positions were vacated, both in the court and in the local government. The management of the Ming Dynasty also changed.
It has to be difficult. In this way, replenishing these officials has become the top priority now.
At this time, the shortcomings of the Ming Kingdom were also shown, and the talent reserve was seriously insufficient. As a kingdom, the Ming Kingdom suddenly expanded its territory dozens of times, and the manpower was already somewhat insufficient. This time, Liu Yu made such a big move
, many officials were unlucky to be dismissed, and the Ming Dynasty really couldn't find so many people for a while.
There are not so many manpower to arrange, which may be a troublesome matter for the Ming Dynasty. But for the aristocratic family, it is a great thing. What the aristocratic family is, it is a gathering place for talents. It doesn’t matter if the Ming Dynasty does not have manpower, we have
.The children of our family can definitely take care of the country's worries without any problems.
It just so happened that the aristocratic family was bleeding this time, and their power was greatly suppressed. They needed to restore their own power. The officials of the Ming Dynasty could not add anything, and the aristocratic family members were like sharks smelling the smell of blood, and they pounced upward.
In order to support his children to rise to the top, they really used all kinds of tricks, giving gifts, money, and women. As long as it can help their children to rise to the top, they can give anything. That's a very heroic move. I really don't know that after being squeezed so much by Liu Yu
, where did they get so much money?
But Liu Yu finally suppressed the arrogance of these aristocratic families, how could it be so easy for them to rush forward again. In order to collect talents, Liu Yu once again threw out the weapon of imperial examination.
As for Liu Yu's imperial examination system, it was implemented in the Ming Dynasty last time. It was a method that was barely fair. For the aristocratic families in the Ming Dynasty, this method greatly harmed their interests and could not be photographed.
He did not dare to express the murder of Emperor Liu Yu.
But for the countries that the Ming Kingdom annexed, it was different. The Ming Kingdom annexed so many countries, and many of the wealthy families in these countries would not give up their original power, and even had to curry favor with the original Ming Kingdom in order to gain power.
The nobles are very cowardly.
Well now, the imperial examination proposed by the Ming Dynasty emperor gave their children an opportunity to rise to power quickly. Naturally, these people happily supported this method.
As for those children from poor families, in the eyes of disciples from aristocratic families, they are just a bunch of scum, not worthy of being compared with them. The selection of talents relies on true talent and learning, and the rich family background, what do those mud-legged people know, how can they compare with them.
But they seem to have forgotten that in China, the strong are respected. Although disciples of famous families also have to learn things like literature and etiquette, their main focus is still on martial arts. Whichever family has stronger force will be better than others.
Others are a head taller. As for literary people, just learn something arty.
Children from poor families would not take it seriously. They may have forgotten that Liu Yuxuan was a civil servant, not a military officer. He did not rely on martial arts to win, but on strategies and governance. Generally speaking, children from aristocratic families would only seek breakthroughs.
Overwhelming others, who has so much time to think about these things.
But the children of poor families are different. These days, the children of ordinary people who are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Unless they have a good master, or they are talented enough to be accepted as disciples by the sect, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to make a difference. Most people are just eating.
I can't afford it. Where can I get the money to buy secret books, elixirs, and magic weapons?
Therefore, under normal circumstances, children from poor families will choose to study essays, and then be hired by wealthy families to be accountants and housekeepers to make a living. Those who live well and are talented may be noticed by a big shot for their talents.
, you can squeeze into the upper class society in no time.
What's more, like those unparalleled national warriors whose talents were spotted by a certain emperor, they suddenly became masters. They were experienced in planning the country, helping one country to annex other countries, and dominating one country, thus gaining fame.
There are also many people who are famous in the world.
Once the Ming Dynasty emperor's imperial examinations were announced, poor families all over the world rushed to encourage them. Their chance to get ahead was about to come. Besides, the promotion of the Ming Dynasty to a dynasty was now a certainty. To become an official of the dynasty,
For these children from poor families, it is a matter of one step to reach the sky.
Due to the shortage of manpower and lack of trust in the aristocratic families, Liu Yu was worried about allowing people from the aristocratic families to preside over the imperial examinations. Therefore, the imperial examinations could not be too scattered, at least not one test per county. Finally, Liu Yu simply ordered that the imperial examinations be conducted from the Ming Dynasty to the Xin Dynasty.
Each country will be tested separately, and each country will be counted as an examination site.
In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the civil service examination and prevent cheating and cover-up, Liu Yu specially sent his confidants, the top civil servants selected by the system, to invigilate the examination and go to the local area to write questions before the examination.
In order to take care of the ordinary children from poor families, they also reimburse the round trip expenses, food and accommodation for those who come. This is naturally joyful and encouraging to the poor families. Of course, those children from aristocratic families disdain to ask for such money.
As time goes by, the imperial examinations in various places have been completed one after another, and many talents have been selected. This time, Liu Yu's imperial examination measures were well publicized. Not only people from the Ming Dynasty, but also people from other countries participated. Those who have the ability
There are also many people there, including members of aristocratic families, children from poor families, and even servants.
These selected scholars had to gather in the capital for a final general inspection. Scholars from all over the country gathered in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there were thousands of them. For a time, they went to a high-end restaurant like Huichun Tower.
When we went down to the food stalls on the street, they were all filled with scholars from different walks of life, and there was a lot of talk everywhere.
It was noon on this day. Many poor scholars gathered at the small tea stalls of the Ming Dynasty. The boss also respected these people. There might be one or two high-ranking officials among these people.
Can't be offended easily.
Now that it has entered the hot summer, scholars also like to drink tea and chat in places like teahouses and discuss their opinions with each other. Of course, for these poor scholars, the little they can save is the only way to go to small teahouses.
I made a living at the stall. Even if I didn't pass the exam, I could still take some of the subsidies from the Ming Dynasty back to subsidize my family.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of tea!" Suddenly, a noble gentleman came to the tea stall, accompanied by several people who were also dressed in gorgeous clothes. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was a servant. Looking at him, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and even the people around him were
The servants were all dressed so well, and one could tell at a glance that they were expensive. It made these poor men feel distressed even after drinking a cup of tea, and they were dumbfounded by the sight.
As soon as this noble young master arrived, the people nearby moved away from each other, leaving a large distance for their originally small investigation. Ordinarily, the environment here is so dirty, noisy, and it is impossible for such a noble young master to come here.
.
Could he put down his dignity and socialize with low-class people like them? However, these poor people all shook their heads with a wry smile. No noble man like this would have his eyes set above his head and look down on people like them from poor backgrounds.
Since this is not the case, it means that there is something attractive here for him. Si Xian looked around and suddenly saw the tea boss next to him, his very pretty daughter, and the scholars showed that this was indeed the case.
