Chapter 3130: The Emperor’s Self-cultivation

 Duran suggested that it would not be difficult to turn Godzilla around, as long as he met his method of reforming the selection mechanism.

It's a pity that the Chinese are definitely not willing, because only the monopoly on personnel can maintain the status of the Chinese. Once talents can continue to rise, it will have an impact on the Chinese.

The level of the Chinese and the common people are actually the same, so the proportion of talents is also the same. The proportion is the same, the larger the base, the more talents. The common people must have more talents than the Chinese. Once the door to talent selection is opened, the Chinese

Talents cannot hold the door at all, and sooner or later they will be destroyed by common people's talents.

The selection mechanism in the feudal era was basically the retainer system, in which nobles raised a group of scholars and then selected talents from among them. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there were many stories of retainers, and there were many dead warriors among them. However, a scholar was a scholar and was only responsible for execution.

, it is the aristocracy that is really in charge, and they are responsible for formulating the route.

Of course, there is another way to select talents in troubled times, which is to select talents through military merit and war. Later, there was the imperial examination system, followed by the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and then developed into the imperial examination.

This process is that talent selection slowly changes from local to central. In the beginning, filial piety and honesty are promoted. Only the locals know whether they are filial or not. If the locals say he is filial, then he is filial. Who has the final say locally? It must be the powerful ones.

Have the final say.

The nine-level Zhongzheng system allows each locality to divide talents into nine levels, and then the central government selects them. With nine levels, there will be competition within the local area, and the court will have the goal of unity, attracting some people to fight against others.

Some people.

Although the nine-level Zhongzheng system has made it difficult for poor families to produce noble sons for a long time, it is because of the emergence of poor families that there is an opportunity to further unite poor families.

Through the imperial examination, the imperial court could unite the poor families and fight against the local powerful. The final result was that the powerful surrendered and accepted the poor families, and finally merged into the scholar-official class, which consolidated the imperial examination system. It also allowed more people to join the scholar-official class through the imperial examination system.

Therefore, the talent selection system is very important. The recruitment system, military honors, inspection system, nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and imperial examination system are the process of gradually splitting the aristocracy from the poor families, and then using the poor families to fight back against the powerful, and finally the two merge again.

The emperor also changed from using relatives and eunuchs to fight against local powerful people to using factions of scholar-officials to fight other factions of scholar-officials.

Before the Song Dynasty, there would be various records of the harem interfering in politics and causing trouble in the court. In fact, it is very simple, that is, the emperor married a wife, and then used the wife's natal family to suppress the local powerful. Of course, the local powerful was unwilling. It must be said that the emperor was controlled by his wife.

, is about to subjugate the country.

In fact, no matter how lecherous the emperor was, he did not have the physical strength or time. The main purpose of marrying more wives was to cultivate the power of his relatives and suppress the powerful through his relatives. He wished that he could marry as many wives as there were powerful, hoping to balance the relationship between the relatives and the powerful.

Of course, there was another force that the emperor trusted very much, and that was the eunuchs. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs were the emperor's most convenient weapons. They were very useful against nobles and scholar-bureaucrats.

After the Song Dynasty, foreign relatives basically had no advantage, because the emperor had mastered the method of scholar-bureaucrats fighting against officials. After the emergence of the scholar-bureaucrat class, if you want to use foreign relatives, the foreign relatives must pass the imperial examination. But if the foreign relatives pass the imperial examination, then the foreign relatives are not

She is a relative and a member of the scholar-bureaucrats.

In fact, party fighting has been a must-have for the emperor since the late Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty began to mature. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, almost no one criticized the emperor for marrying his wife indiscriminately, whether he wanted to marry or not. Anyway, the influence of foreign relatives was no longer a threat and could not threaten the scholar-bureaucrats.

Already.

The balanced relationship between the emperor, relatives, and powerful figures formed in the Han Dynasty was replaced by the relationship between emperor, faction, and faction.

Here we can see that Bao Zheng in the Song Dynasty killed his uncle Guo, which was quite normal. Bao Zheng was a scholar-bureaucrat, and his uncle Guo was a relative. The scholar-officials were so tough to kill their relatives. The emperor would not do it because of his uncle Guo.

It destroys the balance between factions and factions.

It can be seen that the selection of talents is indeed directly related to the social structure. When local powerful people control the selection of talents, the emperor can only reuse his relatives and gain support through marriage.

When the talent selection mechanism is controlled by the court, the emperor no longer needs to use relatives, but can directly win over some scholar-officials, especially those from poor families and common people who have no foundation among the scholar-officials, forming two factions and letting them fight.

Of course, the result of party struggle is a waste of the country's resources, but the emperor's position is secure. The emperor must protect himself first, and then the country. His own position is not secure, and the emperor does not care what happens to the country.

The current situation in the island country is that the Chinese recommend candidates to the factions, and then the factions fight with the factions. The talents recommended are basically their relatives or subordinates, and they are all people they can trust.

These people are not selected through examinations, but are determined through father-to-son inheritance. The father does this job, and the son continues to do this job, and he may be selected if he does well.

Of course knowledge is also important, such as having studied abroad, etc., but this is only one of the reference conditions. International students do not compete with international students, but with the prince. The competition is not only ability, but also loyalty.

This kind of place controls the selection of talents and forms a model of factional struggle, which is very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because after the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Central Plains has always been an important part, whether he is an emperor, a relative, a powerful person, or an emperor, faction, faction, emperor

The influence is very great. But the island country does not have an emperor, and the domestic situation is one of local alliances against local alliances, and fellow villagers will meet with fellow villagers.

In fact, the island country also implemented the imperial examination, but unfortunately it failed because the Chinese knew that the imperial examination was to let the emperor control the selection of talents, and the Chinese would definitely suffer by then.

If the imperial examination system is established and the emperor wins over one faction after another, he will truly become an emperor.

Now Dulan just wants to directly select talents and break the status quo of Chinese people recommending talents. How can the Chinese be willing? Don't even think about it.

Being crushed by Godzilla is only temporary. But losing the talent selection mechanism is permanent. Look at the neighbor next door? After talent selection was controlled by the court, local powerful people were suppressed all the time. It was simply intolerable. That country was simply

So evil.

Du Lan looked at the expressions of the Chinese people and knew that they were unwilling to do anything. They would rather be crushed by Godzilla. If they were crushed by Godzilla, they still had hope of rising. If they lost the qualifications for talent selection, there would be no hope.

After all, all the Chinese have is the property rights of land, the right to economic development, and the right to recommend talents. Both property rights and economic rights are based on the right to recommend talents, and talents are the most critical.

"I would rather be stepped on by Godzilla than allow your wolfish ambition!" The Chinese people are not stupid either. Everyone knows about Duran's heart, and his ambition is already obvious.

It is not easy for the Chinese to let go of talent selection. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao proposed meritocracy, which was an attempt, but it quickly failed. Later, the Wei and Jin Dynasties still used the nine-level Zhongzheng system, and the local government still controlled the qualifications for talent selection, but

Let localities classify talents into three, six or nine grades.

Although the meritocracy examination is domineering, it is too radical. The nine-level Zhongzheng system is like boiling frogs in warm water, slowly dividing the relationship between local talents, and finally introducing the imperial examination in one fell swoop. It can be said that it is a matter of course. The imperial examination allows poor families who have been treated unfairly in the local area to

Given the opportunity to make a comeback, they will naturally work hard to make progress and support the imperial examination.

As soon as the Chinese heard that Dulan wanted to control talent selection, they knew that he had bad intentions and was trying to drain the firepower. At this moment, the Chinese could be absolutely sure of one thing: Dulan was the enemy!
