Cao Cao and the Emperor sat facing each other. The Emperor held the memorial sent by Cao Cao in his hand and looked at it carefully. Cao Cao put in front of the Emperor what he said would be a major strategy that could reduce the pressure on the national treasury by the Jimin Mansion.
The emperor watched with interest, but after just a few glances, he was already stunned. He didn't know what this strategy had to do with the Jimin Mansion. From a literal point of view, this memorial was all about the aristocratic family.
of support.
In terms of the official selection system, Cao Cao has always been very extreme. He inherited Wang Fu's idea of seeking talents, and also put forward the idea of selecting officials that did not emphasize morality but only pursued talents. If his idea had been proposed before Wang Fu
, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death by hundreds of officials. After Wang Fu implemented the scientific merit assessment system, the behavior of wealthy families in becoming officials through evaluation has been decreasing. Up to now, everyone has accepted the system of becoming officials through assessment.
Although the officials were still the children of wealthy families, it still provided a path for those from poor families. As long as they had enough knowledge, they could serve as officials.
But what is Cao Cao's proposal now?
Set up a reviewer in the central government to evaluate the world's big families, set grades based on wind evaluation, and set up nine grades. Those with top grades will be given priority to enter the school and participate in the assessment... Isn't this a complete support for the big families? How come Cao Cao suddenly wants to be from a big family?
The enemy came to their side? The emperor looked at Cao Cao in surprise. Cao Cao did not defend himself, but looked at the emperor and asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Ha...Cao Mengde, are you thinking about your five sons?"
"I don't dare. After I am eunuch, how can I be among the great clan?"
"Then what is your policy to do? To win over the world's rich families?" The emperor frowned and asked.
Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and took out another memorial from his sleeve, handed it to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, take a look at this again." The emperor was a little sullen, but he still took the memorial from his hand.
I looked at the table again. It was still the same system on the table, but there were differences. At the end, Cao Cao just put forward his inner thoughts. First, there were strict restrictions.
For these nine-level noble families, they all have their own restrictions. As for the cultivated land, slaves, status, number of officials, etc. they can own, as long as they accept the temple canonization, they cannot exceed this amount, otherwise they will be convicted and excepted.
In addition, the higher the rating, the higher the aristocratic family's status, the greater the obligations they have to bear, including the Jimin Mansion. The economic pressure of the Jimin Mansion is directly transferred to these people.
Cao Cao then said: "Your Majesty, this system seems to support aristocratic families, but in fact, it imposes many restrictions on aristocratic families. What we have to pay is not much, it is just some false names and irrelevant privileges, such as
Let them wear brocade and make a two-horse cart. This is all we need to pay to restrain these people. I have pondered for a long time. Over the years, we have been trying every means to limit the rise of these wealthy families.
Stop them from annexing the people..."
"However, not only did it fail to stop them, but it actually made them intensify... From party restrictions, to assessments, to the New Deal, everything is restricting the rise of the aristocratic families, but they have too many resources, even for assessments
After that, more than 90% of them were descendants of aristocratic families, and the New Deal imposed heavy taxes, but they were still able to find ways to resist many of the temple's policies by dividing their families..."
"I think that only by firmly restraining them with a set of policies, they will not continue to grow bigger... As long as there are ratings, the upper-class families will definitely supervise the middle-class and lower-class families and let them fight against each other. , supervise each other and never dare to act out of line..."
Listening to Cao Cao's words, the emperor asked: "Do you think this system is really effective?"
"I don't know...this system will not be able to stop them sooner or later...but it can at least restrict them for forty or fifty years. During this time, as long as the temple continues to support the children of poor families, through the change in the number of people, Sooner or later, there will be a way to restrict the family..." Cao Cao said seriously. The emperor thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, when do you want to implement it?"
"I'm not fully prepared yet. I'm going to have some discussions with these big families first..."
Cao Cao said and narrowed his eyes again.
At the same time, two things happened in the temple. The first was to re-establish the Xiaoyong Battalion and incorporate it into the Southern Army. Hua Xiong was very disappointed because he did not get the position of captain. It was not that Liu Mastiff had not spoken to the emperor, but that Hua Xiong was really unsuitable. Although he was a general who had been fighting for many years, it was obviously not possible for him to be a captain with his status. Moreover, this army was still fighting as a scout. In this way, Hua Xiong could not leave. own position.
Gongsun Zan's eldest son, Gongsun Xu, assumed the position of this brave captain.
Gongsun Zan went to the Military Academy to take over Huangfu Song's position. Huangfu Song's illness could not be cured for a long time. Even Hua Tuo, who was treating him, reluctantly told everyone that General Huangfu's time limit had expired and he didn't know how long he could survive. , his second son, Huangfu Jianshou, is also on the way, preparing to come here.
Gongsun Zan was not dissatisfied with his arrangement. He was getting older, so it was natural for him to lead the army. However, if he was asked to serve as a captain, fight in person, and march at the forefront, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it. Before the military training, he also visited General Huangfu. General Huangfu was lying on the hospital bed, a little unaware of his affairs. Gongsun Zan originally wanted to talk to him, but seeing him like this, he left helplessly.
When Gongsun Zan arrived at the Military Academy, many students went to greet him.
Gongsun Zan rode a horse and looked at the young people in front of him. After returning from the heroic camp, Gongsun Zan, who was unknown in Luoyang, was also famous. Everyone knew about their feats. When Gongsun Zan arrived at the Military Academy, the students here were still It was very welcome. Gongsun Zan had led the brave camp for a long time and had a very close relationship with the soldiers. Unlike others, he did not have a cold face and showed his gentle side.
He walked directly to the general stage, asked the students to surround him, all sat down, and then began to speak.
"I am Gongsun Zan, the former captain of the Xiaoyong Camp! I serve as a military scholar. In the future, I will be your respected teacher. I heard before that when General Huangfu taught you, he always taught you some strategies for using troops and how to deal with them. Enemy, how to command an army? It's not that I don't respect General Huangfu, but I think you are all still young. After the assessment, it is best to just serve as a captain... How to command an army is not what you should learn... "
"You can learn it after you get to the battlefield..."
"What I want to teach you is how to avoid losing your life on the battlefield and how to cause the greatest damage to the enemy at the lowest cost. This is what I want to teach you... Okay, I will say what needs to be said. Now, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly without restraint. I have always regarded my subordinates as my nephews, and I hope you can also regard me as your elder!" Gongsun Zan said.
"General!" Sure enough, a student immediately wanted to ask. Gongsun Zan looked at him and nodded.
The student stood up and asked with some envy: "General, was it really possible for the Yongying Battalion to travel thousands of miles a day and fly into the sky???"
"Flying to the sky and escaping to the earth??? Which idiot told you this?"
"What Hua Jijiu said..."
"I'm not a magician!! I can't fly to the sky and escape from the earth! Sit down!"
The student hurriedly sat down, and Gongsun Zan said: "We can't fly to the sky or escape from the earth, nor can we travel thousands of miles in a day. What we rely on is that horses can run faster than others, have eyes and ears, and are good at finding the enemy. You can come and go freely. You have just gone to the battlefield. You will all be nervous and afraid. At that time, you are most likely to make mistakes. At this time, all you have to do is to calm down and think seriously. Reckless generals will never No match for the calm general!!"
The students listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and memorized Gongsun Zan's words firmly.
"Young man, don't be brave, don't advance rashly... Never leave your brothers behind... Treat your soldiers well... Beware of your soldiers knocking you out and sending you away... Before going to war, if they Whatever you want to eat...just give it to them, don't stay after the war..."
Uncle Shen was one of the only three warriors left in the brave camp. After ending his years-long escape, he and his two brothers embarked on the road back to their hometown. His two brothers and their families all They stayed here in Shanggao County, the original occupied area of Goguryeo. Seeing them hugging their parents and crying with joy, Uncle Shen was particularly envious. He had no parents, and his parents had already passed away a long time ago. Killed by the Goguryeo people.
After passing Shangxiagao County, he finally came to the place he missed most, Dongyi.
I finally returned to my hometown, but this hometown is already different from ten years ago. Everything is strange. The roads are full of cars and horses. The woods have long since disappeared and have been turned into cultivated land. Looking at He always felt a little out of place among these hard-working people. The worst thing was that he had forgotten where his home was and could not find it. He could only go to the local officials.
When the local officials learned of his identity, they were shocked and showed great respect.
They took the warrior and found his home.
Before he arrived home, the news of his return had already spread in his hometown. Many people came to greet him on the road. They all smiled and showed admiration for the hero.
In the crowd, he did not find his first wife.
Standing at the door of his home, he saw his embarrassed wife. Her face was pale, her head lowered, and her face was full of tears. Next to her, there was another man standing, and there were several children around. The man looked at her in horror. But he didn't dare to speak. His wife said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't know you were still alive. They said you had died in the battle..."
The officials looked at Uncle Shen helplessly, fearing that he would violently kill someone.
Uncle Shen stood in front of the door, his whole body was so cold, as if he was back on the snowfield again, his whole body was trembling from the cold. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't blame you."
The officials found a new house for him.
He had his own marquis and a lot of farmland. He rented the farmland to some common people and let them work hard.
He has his own boat and can fish as he pleases.
However, the trauma of the war seems to be difficult to erase. Walking alone on the road, or staying at home alone, staring at the wall in a daze, he is incompatible with this place. When walking on the road and hears the sound of horse hooves, he will immediately hide.
Or run away. When he heard the shouting, he couldn't help but draw his sword and looked around, feeling a little confused. Many people secretly said that he was crazy.
His childhood friend was slashed by him just because he slapped him on the back. He didn't even look back, he just drew his sword and slashed. Looking at his friend crying on the ground, he was frightened and panicked.
He was at a loss, looking blankly at the people around him who were afraid of him, and ran back home trembling.
At night, he was lying on the bed, holding his long sword in his arms. He had just closed his eyes when he heard the call of the watchman outside the door. At that moment, he jumped up again, drew out his sword, and looked around
.
He dug out his most decent clothes at home and had a delicious meal of Donghao's big fish.
Three days later, people found his body in the lake. He hugged a sword tightly and slept forever.
Some people said he committed suicide by jumping into the lake, while others said he accidentally fell into the lake.
People often mention him.
Remember? We also had a warrior here who fought fiercely for decades. He was really majestic!
