Chapter 26 Who is stronger, the son of luck or the emperor of destiny? Wei Yun, Duan
Later generations, because they stand from God's perspective, can evaluate Yang Guang's merits and tyranny from both positive and negative sides.
But Li Shimin, as a person of this era, who was in the prelude to the beginning of the great turmoil, could actually have such a vision. I have to say that it is definitely no fluke that he will become the emperor in the future!
What Lin Nuo appreciates the most is that he is a direct descendant of a wealthy family, but he does not have the sense of superiority that other descendants have. Instead, he has a clear understanding of the dangers of a wealthy family.
To be honest, as an emperor, such a person would be much better than the current Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
"If you become emperor in the future, how will you weaken the power of the powerful family?" Lin Nuo asked again.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. The Grand Master asked this question. It seemed that his answer just now was on point.
Sure enough, this kind of strange person looks at things from a different perspective than other people. If he answered according to ordinary people's thinking, people would probably not bother to listen.
"Yang Guang once wanted to use the Goryeo battlefield to weaken the power of aristocratic families, but he failed and instead brought down his Sui Dynasty!"
Li Shimin continued: "The power of powerful families is far from what he saw. It can be said that after thousands of years of development, the power of powerful families has already spread throughout the court and even the business world. They just want to kill some people."
, spending some money will not bring down the powerful family at all!"
"If the people of the world become the emperor, they should continue to continue the imperial examination system, and even greatly increase the scope and admission rate of the imperial examination system, giving more opportunities to students from poor families, allowing them to occupy high positions in the court, and gradually weakening the influence of the powerful families in the court.
The right to speak in the court! When dealing with aristocratic families, we cannot act too hastily, we need to do it step by step, otherwise Yang Guang’s end will serve as a lesson to others.”
Lin Nuo nodded lightly. Li Shimin's answer was pretty good, but it didn't make him feel amazing.
The most important reason for the strong family and wide influence is that they monopolize the channels for reading.
If you want to be an official, you must study, and studying requires money.
It costs money to study with a teacher in a school.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones cost money.
The most important thing is that each of the sage books that need to be studied for the imperial examination is worth a lot of money, and buying them all is an extremely high cost.
Moreover, in the homes of scholars, these books are all regarded as treasures, and few are willing to borrow them. How many students from poor families can afford such a high cost?
Because of this, being a scholar has almost become the exclusive preserve of the rich, and in today's dynasty, most of the rich come from aristocratic families!
Li Shimin was indeed a capable and strategic person, but in the end, he still did not completely transcend the limitations of this era.
There is no way, the thousand-year-old feudal dynasty in China, in the final analysis, has implemented a policy of obscuring the people. No matter how enlightened the emperor is, he does not want the people to have too much culture and knowledge.
The ignorant people only know how to farm and work, which makes it easier to rule.
Even a far-sighted person like Li Shimin only wanted to open the imperial examination and select more officials from the few students from poor families, so as to achieve balance in the court and create checks and balances with officials from wealthy families.
As for enlightening the people's intelligence and popularizing education for all, he has not even thought about it.
This belongs to the blind spot of this era. Even the most knowledgeable people will subconsciously ignore this direction.
"Pity!"
Lin Nuo sighed in his heart. If Li Shimin had just answered that he was willing to cut down the drain, popularize education for all, and cut off the source of the aristocratic family, Lin Nuo would have approved of him becoming emperor even if he disliked Li Er.
There is no need for universal nine-year compulsory education. As long as there is three years of enlightenment education, Lin Nuo will choose Li Shimin as emperor even if Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling come to him every day and call him daddy.
It's a pity that Li Shimin still does not have such a forward-looking vision that transcends the limitations of the times.
Seeing Lin Nuo just nodded and said nothing more to his last answer, Li Shimin's heart tightened. It was obvious that his last answer did not satisfy the Grand Master in front of him.
He was a little confused and didn't understand which aspect of his answer was inappropriate.
Because in Li Shimin's opinion, the answer he just gave was almost perfect. Even the most demanding person would be satisfied. But why does Grandmaster Lin Nuo still feel dissatisfied?
"Li Shimin!"
At this moment, Lin Nuo's calm and majestic voice suddenly sounded.
"You are very good. In this world, when it comes to emperor's talents, you should be at the forefront!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was so excited that he almost shouted, but he was so deep in the palace that even though he was extremely ecstatic, he still suppressed it. Instead, he was so busy that he bowed and saluted and thanked the Grand Master for his approval.
"But just this is not enough for me to support you in your fight for the world!"
Um?
Before Li Shimin could bow down, he froze in place?
What does this mean?
I am the most qualified person in the world to be the emperor. Are you still not satisfied?
Why are you dissatisfied? Just tell me. Say nothing. How do you want me to guess?
"Senior, I wonder how hard this junior should work to satisfy you?" Although Li Shimin was complaining in his heart, he still asked honestly.
Lin Nuo shook his head and did not answer the question.
"Although I don't support you, I won't stop you from competing for the world!"
"But there is one thing you need to remember!"
"Senior, please speak!" Li Shimin made a listening gesture.
"Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are my godsons. They will also raise armies to fight for the world in the future. You may become the final opponents in the future!"
Li Shimin's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, and he said with a bitter look on his face: "So, senior, are you going to take down Shimin and eliminate an opponent for them in advance?"
Lin Nuo ignored Li Shimin, stared at the slightly gloomy sky, and continued: "I don't care how you fight, but there is one thing. If your Li family dares to lure foreigners into the Central Plains and harm the people of the Central Plains, then don't blame them.
I am so ruthless!"
The reason why Lin Nuo was dissatisfied with Li Tang Tianxia was because in history, it was not glorious for the Li family to conquer the world because they relied on the power of Turks from outside the region. Because of this, in the early Tang Dynasty, the entire country was out of control.
They were defeated by the Turks and brought great disaster to the people in the border areas!
Because of this, even though he knew that Li Shimin would become a very accomplished emperor in the future, Lin Nuo still maintained an unsupportive attitude towards the Li family.
If Li Shimin's answer hadn't satisfied him today, it's hard to say that Li Shimin wouldn't be able to leave this big ship today!
Li Shimin is the future Emperor of Destiny, and in this world, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling are the sons of fate. Lin Nuo wants to know who among the two can win in the end when there is not much difference in strength.
