"Lord, Liu Bei's move is really vicious, and we will never allow it!" Chen Qun said with a livid face while holding the books sent from Hebei by Kuai Ma, with a cold glint in his eyes, "Liu Bei's move is tantamount to
This book will definitely not be promoted if my family is put to death! All sales and private possession of such books should be blocked, and we should completely distance ourselves from Liu Bei."
For Chen Qun, a man from an aristocratic family, what Liu Bei did was like digging up his ancestral grave.
This person is a staunch supporter of aristocratic family politics, the founder of the future Nine-Rank Zhengzhong System, the promoter of the high-grade Wuhanshi and the low-grade Wushi Clan. All the imperial legal system, centralized power, and education without distinction are all bullshit.
Wife Cao looked at the book in his hand. This is a book that specifically talks about how to count land properties and calculate taxes. If it can be promoted on a large scale, it will be really useful for Wife Cao. In fact, regardless of his current territory, it will be very useful.
Although there are many talented people at his disposal, most of them still come from aristocratic families.
How much taxes are paid in various places and how they are paid are completely controlled by the local nobles. Cao Cao really has little control over the local areas. This is extremely painful for Cao Cao, who has lofty ambitions. Every night when he has insomnia, he doesn't think about it.
He also issued a recruitment order, and like Liu Bei, employed a large number of low-level people to break the family's monopoly on politics.
The butt determines the head. Sitting in this position is completely contrary to what he thought back then. He understands why Emperor Ling wanted to impose party restrictions, and he also understands why Liu Bei targeted the aristocratic family, but...
If these books can really be promoted, this thought flashed through his mind. He closed his eyes slightly and turned to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu next to him, "Wen Ruo, Zhong De, what do you two think?"
Of course Xun Yu understood why Cao Cao asked this question, and also understood what Cao Cao was thinking, but this did not mean that he would agree, even if he fundamentally supported the Han Dynasty. Taking a deep breath, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao seriously, "
My lord, if we promote this thing below, I am afraid that the families in the three states will be completely alienated."
There was no expression on Cao Cao's face, and his eyes turned to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu could feel Cao Cao's desire, and he agreed with it, but he didn't think it was possible to achieve this under Cao Cao's rule. The entire force was too entangled with the family, and if it repeated even a little bit, it would completely collapse and turn its head to the north.
After taking a look, he sighed in his heart, "I... also feel that this matter is inappropriate. Liu Bei promoted this set of things without reservation. He obviously had no good intentions. He wanted to spread the fire to the princes of the world.
If the lord promotes it, then the family will be alienated and may be overthrown, but if he does not promote it and obstructs it, then..."
Cheng Yu didn't say the next words, but the person present was not a smart man, and he knew the meaning very well. He was afraid that the poor family would be disheartened and felt that they had no chance of getting ahead in Cao Cao's life. If this happened, he would probably
A large number of talents are heading north.
Nowadays, the major events in the world are basically clear. Liu Bei is located north of the Yellow River. With his strong military strength, he has the power to strengthen the Qin Dynasty. If he promotes this set of things forcefully, his rule will arouse strong resistance. But if
Once you get through this, you will have a bright future.
However, Cao Cao relied on his family and faced the powerful enemy in the north, so he would inevitably share the same hatred and resentment. With his efforts and efforts, a confrontation between the north and the south would almost certainly be formed.
As for when this situation will be broken and who will win and who will lose, I am afraid that it will be difficult to tell in a short time.
If you look at the pre-Han Dynasty, you will know that in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the feudal lords from all sides have been divided for hundreds of years. The aristocratic family system has its advantages because it has existed for so long. Anyway, in the eyes of knowledgeable people in the world, the two systems are
It's hard to tell which one is better and which one is worse.
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while. Chen Qun and other aristocratic factions did not speak, but looked at Cao Cao with burning eyes. Cheng Yu and other minority factions also lowered their heads and remained silent, waiting for Cao Cao to make a decision.
'Damn it, damn Liu Bei, damn the family', Cao Cao rubbed his brows with his hands and kept cursing in his heart. He felt his head hurt even more.
This damn mess is really a trap, isn't it trying to push him towards a dead end?
For him, this was a single-choice question. He could not watch his subordinates fall into chaos. It was an opportunity for Liu Bei, and he might have to finish it completely.
Thinking of this, his head hurt even more. He received a letter a few days ago. It was written to him by that damn Wang Xuan. The words in the letter were sincere and full of deception, describing the aristocratic family system as extremely vicious.
, Yan said that if Cao Cao did not make changes, after three generations, the people under his rule would not necessarily have the surname Cao. In order to strengthen Cao Cao's confidence, Wang Xuan also promised that he would never go to war with Cao Cao within three years, and he could handle the families under his rule with confidence and boldness.
The problem.
Just imagining the temptation makes Cao Cao's brain hurt...
"Teaching without distinction is the word of the sage. If you reject it rashly, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world?" Cao Cao hesitated, hoping that someone could give him a way to get the best of both worlds.
"My lord, what you said is wrong. Teaching without distinction means that when teaching students, students should not be classified into three or six or nine grades. They should be treated equally. At the same time, students should not be taught only for one kind of knowledge. They should learn more and learn more.
Look, learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools in order to learn by analogy, not just anyone can learn from it.”
"If you are a person with high moral character and knowledgeable, it is a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people, and it will be beneficial to the country and the people. If you are a person with an evil heart, the more you learn, the greater the harm to the country and the world, so take the grassland
For example, if the grassland people learn how to smelt steel and how to make better swords, bows and crossbows, and if the grassland people have the advantage of war horses, the world will be in danger."
Xun Yu is right, but in Cao Cao's view, this is sophistry. Do they really not understand the benefits of promoting books?
Cao Cao didn’t believe it!
Looking at Xun Yu who had a righteous face and was talking about distorted facts, Cao Cao suddenly felt very strange. Is this the same Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo who only wanted to revive the Han Dynasty?
I looked at the other people here. They were not the ones like Cheng Yu who kept their heads down and said nothing. The rest all had expressions of approval on their faces.
"This matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it tomorrow. I'm tired of being alone!" Cao Cao got up and left with a gloomy look. He ignored everyone's attempts to stay and walked away. When he really thought that his wishes were in line with his ministers, Cao Cao thought that it was indeed
Letter from that thief Wang Xuan.
"My lord, good advice is hard to hear but hard to practice!" Chen Qun looked full of indignation and shouted at Cao Cao's leaving figure.
Cao Cao paused for a moment before walking more resolutely.
Xun Yu quickly pulled his son-in-law and held back what he said. He understood Cao Cao's temperament very well. He was a true tyrant and was not someone who could be forced by his subordinates. If Chen Qun was allowed to act like this, it would be counterproductive.
