"There is a feud between you and the five surnamed Qiwang? Why do you want to dig out the foundation of people's 'five surnames and seven hopes'? ”

"The hatred and resentment in this are great!" Qin Shou replied.

"What can you hate?"

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but stagnate, a little confused.

Just you?

And five surnames and seven hopes?

Hatred?

What level do people have five surnames and seven looks, and what level do you have?

Don't make a fuss!

But seeing Qin Shou said very seriously: "Because they are blocking us from living, live a good life!" ”

"Living?"

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji came to have black lines on their faces.

Where is this Nima?

Could it be that the five surnames and seven hopes that they can still lift your pot and not let you live?

Looking at their puzzled eyes, Qin Shou explained directly and straightforwardly: "If we want to live a good life, we need to earn more wealth, but they are blocking our financial path. ”

"Take my father-in-law and I doing business this time, we can succeed because there are too many accidents, and it doesn't last long!"

"What if we still want to make money? We can't just open our mouths and expect Datang to make money from disasters, right? ”

"Therefore, we still have to start from the aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, but when we really understand it, we know that the "five surnames and seven hopes" almost control all these industries, and we can't even insert a single hair. ”

"You say, if we don't trip over these mountains, we will have a chance?"

"Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to keep to themselves?" Eldest Sun Wuji nodded.

Qin Shou put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with disdain: "Uncle, do you usually say that you are honest, and you still think that is praising you?" ”

"If this person doesn't have some ideals, what's the difference between him and salted fish?"

"......." Eldest Sun Wuji's face was a little unbearable.

Qin Shou said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be unconvinced, I'll give you a good look." ”

"Ling'er told me that although we are also big families, compared with the five surnames and seven hopes, it is for nothing. Let's first talk about how strong these high-ranking nobles are with the five surnames and seven hopes:

As far as the Taiyuan Wang clan at the end is concerned, they regard Taiyuan as the county of Zhaoxing and the county of Wangout, and they control a large amount of land, and at the same time have a large number of dependent population......."

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji only nodded when they heard this, and they really didn't think so.

If you want to say that you know the Taiyuan Wang family, there is no one who is more familiar with them than Guan Long.

But immediately, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes changed, frowning.

The more I listened, the more solemn my face became.

His eyes are constantly changing, and he thinks from time to time.

"Let's go on to say that these dependent populations are roughly composed of two groups, one part belongs to the exploited class, which is often used for military activities or production activities, and their status is equivalent to that of subordinates and tenants, providing them with far and constant wealth."

"The other part of the protégés are relatively wealthy Shu landlords, and in order to improve their social and political status and seek official positions, they often pay bribes through gifts to join the Gaomen clan."

"There are not a few people who worship the marquis in the nobles of the gate valve, and there are many protégés who take refuge in the scholar clan, and they are increasing day by day, and the development of the gate valve is becoming more and more strong, these protégés not only have to give money and goods, but also to serve them, and can even do illegal things, so that the clan has a steady stream of rights......."

"It's like a big fish eating a small fish, nothing is peaceful, some people just have to bow their heads under the eaves"

"If you want to live, there are only two choices, either go and be their protégé and be a dog, and wag your tail at them? Or pouting and being exploited by them? ”

At this time, the two monarchs and ministers had completely put down the wine and meat in their hands at this time, and their faces became serious and serious.

Especially Li Shimin, after listening to Qin Shou's analysis of the gate valve aristocracy from the two perspectives of land and personnel, he only felt that there were thousands of heavy stones pressing on his heart, which made it difficult for people to breathe!

In the face of the economic and political power of the noble clan, why didn't he, the emperor, succumb to their overturn?

If he only felt the constraints of these gates in the past, but now, he has an extra kind of humiliation and embarrassment.

It's worse than the pain of the skin!

At this time, a fire was rising in Li Shimin's heart.

"So, for us people, the stronger they are, the more uncomfortable we live!"

"On the other hand, if we want to live, our interests will inevitably be touched!"

"You say, blocking people's money, such as killing parents, isn't this a deep hatred?" Qin Shou said hatefully.

The reason why Qin Shou wrote this note in the first place was just because he felt that if he wanted to live a better life and make more money, this Shi clan group headed by "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" was an obstacle that he couldn't avoid.

That's why I think about it more.

“......”

Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji did not speak, and they were stunned.

Hiss!

The eldest grandson Wuji gasped.

Looking at Qin Shou's eyes, his eyes were as hot as fire.

Nima, whip in!

Some of the words are slotted, but they are three points into the wood.

You taste, taste carefully......

Isn't there a big feud in the middle!

......

The eldest grandson Wuji forcibly suppressed the shock and rhapsody in his heart, and asked, "Then you said that the five surnames and seven hopes are so powerful, do we have a chance?" ”

"There is a chance, why don't you have a chance to ......"

Qin Shou dipped his chopsticks in the tea to draw the outline of the Tang Dynasty, and then used a few slender bones on the table to form a river, and then said: "The Sui Dynasty has made a good start for us, the canal is opened, the north and south are connected, the commodity economy on both sides of the canal will inevitably develop rapidly, and a unified market will be formed slowly, and now the canal is our opportunity......"

"And these gate valve families are still based on the self-sufficiency of the estates, and I firmly believe that in the future, the land system will gradually be dominated by tenants, and the agricultural economy of the estates will inevitably decline, and the wealth of their most precious land resources will inevitably shrink significantly, and it will also be our opportunity at that time."

"Also, the gate valve aristocracy is very territorial, which is their advantage, but it is also their disadvantage, where their control is not strong, this is our opportunity......"

“......”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, you look at me, I look at you.

The shock in my eyes is beyond measure!

The blood in the heart was squeezed out......

It's amazing!

"Did you calculate all this?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with trembling fingers.

"No, this is the law of economic development, and you ........ How so? ”

Qin Shou scratched his head, he didn't know how to explain it to his uncle?

"Goo-toot!"

The eldest grandson Wuji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, what kind of person is this!

Long

The eldest grandson Wuji remembered that he hadn't finished asking about business.

"That...... Great nephew, what do you mean by the protégé of the Son of Heaven who reformed the imperial examination? ”

Qin Shou didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Uncle, what do you say Your Majesty is holding the imperial examination for?"

"In order to recruit talents, extend the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's all, the essence is to support the cold family to suppress the scholars, it's just that the idea is good, but it's a chicken feather, the imperial examination has been held for so many years, the cold door is still a cold door, and the arrogance of the gate valve nobles is even more arrogant!"

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart trembled!

Who are you scolding?

He hurriedly turned his face to look at Li Shimin, but saw that His Majesty did not look out of the slightest.

Well? Your Majesty is not angry?

It won't be..... I'm used to it!

But he didn't know that although Li Shimin's expression had not changed, his clenched fingers betrayed him, and he was scolding in his heart at this time: "Why did you hurry up and say, why is this happening?" ”

Qin Shou did not sell Guanzi again, "Because the status of the imperial examination is not enough, and the imperial examination system is not perfect, although the imperial examination has now been opened, which can be regarded as giving the Han scholars an upward channel, but because of the focus on family background and background, it is inevitable that it will become a tool for the wealthy to expand their influence." ”

"There is no cold family in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's eyes immediately turned red!

That's a slap in the face!

Qin Shou didn't notice the abnormality: "Only in this way can the children of the Han family really have a way to go directly to the court." Of course, we can't help with this matter, and we have to be promoted to the status of the Jinshi Imperial Examination by Emperor Laozi......."

After saying this, Qin Shou really felt a little tired, and said in his heart: "It's really not easy to get my uncle to pay some money, it's been said for a long time, is it an iron rooster?" ”

"Then how can we let the children of the poor sect have a real ladder to the court?" The eldest grandson Wuji continued to ask,

"Uncle, do you think you are too ambitious, and we are not the prime minister, what are you doing with this kind of heart! Let's set a small goal first, can't we make some money? ”

"You don't know the history of my uncle, he used to be an official, because he played with other people's wives, and then he was denounced and deposed, don't look down on being an official, but if you leave this little problem, you like to talk about national affairs."

Seeing that Qin Shou didn't want to say anything, Li Er hurriedly got up and filled Qin Shou with a glass of wine, and at the same time patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder and motioned for him to continue asking.

"I ......" Eldest Sun Wuji's face darkened at that time, but before he could argue.

"Poof!" Qin Shou squirted out a sip of tea, directly splashing the eldest grandson Wuji's face.

"I'm sorry, uncle.... Hahahaha...... "Qin Shou hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve to the eldest grandson Wuji, but he couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle? Is what my father-in-law said true? ”

"You've ever been an official? Ever played with someone else's little wife? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was so angry that his whole face was like a purple eggplant......

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji's murderous expression was gone, Qin Shou hurriedly changed the topic, "Uncle, don't be angry, what did you ask just now, yes, that note, let's just talk about this, that is also our chance." ”

"First, the power to admit students to the imperial examination is vested in the emperor, that is, the imperial examination of scholars and children must be approved by the emperor himself to determine their final admission ranking."

"Second, the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

In the past, after the scholars were admitted to the scientific examination, they called themselves protégés by calling the invigilators and the clan gate lords who recommended them as teachers. ”

"There is a great risk that the examiner and the candidate may collude with each other in the name of the teacher-student relationship, and the officials of the five surnames and seven hopes are more likely to expand their influence by acting as examiners."

But if a palace test is added to all the jinshi and the first, the emperor himself invigilates the examination, produces the questions, and determines the nouns, so that the emperor becomes the final chief examiner, so that the "grace" of all the jinshi falls on the emperor, which is the so-called protégé of the son of heaven. ”

"In this way, what else can they sing when they are from the high gate of the Shi clan?"

Silent!

Eldest Sun Wuji's pupils were dilating, even if he had been mentally prepared before, but knowing that at this moment, he really discovered the horror of the Son of Heaven's protégé.

Creeps!

For the five surnames and seven hopes, this is really digging up the roots!

Li Shimin's mouth couldn't stop trembling, and his heart was already a wolf.

"Whew~"

He held his breath, his heart lifted in his throat, and he pretended to be casual and asked a question.

"Increase the temple test? Wouldn't that be a hassle? ”

"It's not troublesome, it's just that all the candidates who have been admitted to the Ministry of Rites examination are eligible to go to the emperor's palace for a re-examination, and the focus is on the emperor himself to determine the ranking of their final admission!"

"Yes...... What if the children of the poor family can't compare to the gate lords? Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji actually asked at the same time.

After all, 90% of the literate people in the Tang Dynasty come from the high-ranking families of the scholar clan, and it is a problem for the children of the poor families to fill their stomachs, let alone read and break.

"Then ....... I'd rather have the grass of the cold than the seedlings of the clan! ”

Yes?

Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji raised their heads suddenly, all the expressions on their faces instantly froze, and they looked at Qin Shou's face deadly.

......
