For the emperor's undisguised suppression, as well as the unfriendliness of this scientific research content, the scholars certainly wanted to change.

But they can't do it and don't dare to do it.

Just beaten up by the emperor and cleaned up more than 5,000 colleagues, who is sure that the emperor will not come to the next wave?

Basically, the courage and superiority were gone, and the backbone was broken.

One by one, they lost their former spirit, and they were cautious all day long, for fear that they would get into trouble.

The voice wasn't even louder than the mud-legged ones.

Many of the surviving veterans were angry at this situation, and when they got together in private, their mouths were full of complaints and dissatisfaction with the emperor.

They felt that the emperor had broken the backbone of the scholars, the country had lost its righteousness, the scholars had lost their pursuit, and they all became the emperor's echo worms.

They so maliciously speculated about the end of Guo Wei's regime, viciously cursing this young regime, thinking that the resentment in their hearts would definitely be inflicted on Guo through divine means.

And then II died.

But despite this, they also have to be careful and careful when they speak, lower their throats and be careful, for fear that someone will hear them and go outside to preach it, and then the black-armored forbidden army will rush in to get people.

Don't wait for the end of Guo Wei's regime to usher in its own end.

They didn't know when the Wei Empire would be finished, but they knew that once such words got out, they would end immediately.

During this sensitive period, the scholars were extremely painful, and they were comprehensively suppressed from the central to the local, from the top head families to the second- and third-rate scholars at the bottom, they were all severely slashed and lost a lot of blood.

Now the imperial examination is not facing them, restrictions are set against them everywhere, and Hanmen and Li Shu are taken care of everywhere.

Come to think of it, it is also the emperor's revenge for the waves they set off before.

The emperor was very vindictive, not only to beat people, kill people, or exile, but also to impose restrictions on their back paths to ensure that there were no political forces within the empire that could threaten the emperor.

That's not all, but also to unprecedentedly introduce a large number of mud-legged people into the Beijing Division, occupy their original political position, and further weaken their power.

After this wave of blows and persecution, there is no doubt that the scholars have no strength to follow, and they do not even have the strength to oppose some of the new gadgets that the emperor tossed in the imperial examinations.

Although they know that this is very unfavorable to them, but in the general environment, they can only keep their mouths shut, although there are still many people in high positions and in power.

What does the future hold?

The soldiers, who had been battered and persecuted like never before, stared feebly at the gray sky, longing for a ray of sunshine like autumn water, but saw nothing.

In fact, they did not know that the emperor was not satisfied with such a situation.

Guo was not satisfied because he couldn't do it in one go.

He brought the system to the point of the Song Dynasty, and even more perfect than the Song Dynasty, but he could not leap the social state to the point of the Song Dynasty in one breath.

People who can't afford to read still can't afford to read, people who can't come to Luoyang still can't come, transportation, assets, school conditions, etc., limit all kinds of people's motivation to study.

He increased the literacy rate of the people, because literacy is not a real school, and it takes much more to run a school than literacy.

He wanted more people to enroll in school, more people to take the Wenju exam, and came up with a whole set of plans, including when to go to the university and when to open up printing.

He also wanted more people to participate in the martial arts exam, but Wei Jun had high requirements for military talents, so the assessment items set for the exam were very professional.

It can be said that if it is not the martial arts students who come out of the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Martial Arts Hall, they basically can't get high scores.

This is not only restricting scholars, but also restricting the children of the poor and Li Shu who have not received professional military education.

However, the martial arts of the Wei Empire, like the Wenju, except that there were no restrictions on origin, not without additional restrictions.

Literature and martial arts are facing the whole people, and there are no unnecessary restrictions.

If you can't get a student status, you can't participate in the imperial examination, this is a rule and regulations, whether it's a paper or a martial arts.

Later, he will expand the scale of the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and add local martial arts, so that martial arts candidates will also get their student status, pass the test to enter the martial arts, and after studying, they will go to take the martial arts exam.

With the Wei army's current combat capability and increasingly advanced and professional operational planning, it is impossible for the so-called "strong men" of the people, who have generally not received professional military education, to meet the needs of the Wei army.

What the Wei army needed was more and more staff officers and commanders with specialized military knowledge, and it was basically impossible to master this knowledge without studying it in a professional martial arts hall.

Guo's planning is very good, but it takes time, and it takes many, many hours.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years.

The current imperial examination is just a sketch, and he is in a hurry to start handling the imperial examination immediately, just to let the imperial examination have more time to be held more times, so as to make the imperial examination more quickly rooted in the hearts of the people.

While he was still alive.

As for the rest, he didn't have the energy to take care of it yet.

He didn't know if he would be able to see a little sign before he died, and see the scene of the prosperity of education in the world.

If he could see it, he would be satisfied.

To tell the truth, he has changed his life several times, and this is not the last time, but the most successful one, he defeated and killed the scholars.

However, to erect a monument for scholars and do this kind of thing, more educated Li Shu children need to do it, and Shu people need to do it.

The imperial examination is a superstructure, and the construction of the superstructure needs the support of the lower foundation, and if the lower foundation is not solid, the construction of the upper imperial examination will sooner or later change its taste.

After the battle of the imperial examination was fought, the supporting education system should also be erected, and the rules and regulations behind it also needed to be continuously optimized.

For example, the rich can afford to pay the tuition fees, the poor cannot afford to pay the tuition fees and other problems, in response to these problems, financial subsidies and expenditures, and even policies such as tuition reduction and exemption should be introduced.

That's a different story.

After the battle, Guo began to prepare intensively for the next battle.

After the controversy over the content of the imperial examination ended, all kinds of news unfavorable to the scholars flew all over the sky.

When such news is transmitted to various localities, it will have a great impact on those local officials and scholars' families.

The Shiren clan was quickly suppressed and was unable to continue the rebellion.

The scholars and officials were strictly guarded by the army, and there was nothing they could do if they wanted to cause chaos.

Long before Guo Peng prepared for action, he had mobilized troops from all over the country to settle in very important cities, dangerous passes, etc., which was also a way to prevent riots in advance.

Once some mad families are dizzy and want to rebel with the local powerful families, the army needs to put down the rebellion in time and expand the scale of persecution.

The Wei Empire's new military plan, Guo has already decided, but he has not had time to act yet.

At present, the military battalions in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Pingzhou have completed the disarmament plan.

The standing strength of the Wei army is still maintained at about 350,000, which is still a bit far from 200,000, but the final disarmament plan will not wait until the end of the Western Regions War and the South-China War.

After the war was basically over, in addition to retaining the absolute elite, the remaining literate veterans were scattered around the tuntian farms to serve as militia instructors.

Some of those with a better culture have also appointed village chiefs, turned into civilian positions, and continue to shine for the country.

In the Central Plains and Hebei regions, the population statistics have been almost completed, and the military service system that Guo wants to implement has also been formulated and is ready to be implemented.

In the future, the state of the Wei army will be 200,000 standing elites plus a varying number of serving soldiers.

The standing army is absolutely elite, and when it leads its service soldiers out to the frontier, it plays the role of the backbone military of officers, and it has quite high requirements for cultural standards and military knowledge.

The service soldiers are the main force to maintain the frontier garrison and bandit conquest in the future, and their numbers can vary from hundreds of thousands to close to one million.

Based on a comprehensive assessment, the Imperial Court decided to set the length of military service at three years, and in principle, every man in the Imperial Court was required to serve in the military for three years from the age of eighteen to twenty-one.

One year of professional military training in various training camps, one and a half years of garrisoning the frontier and receiving the experience of wind and sand, and half a year of going to Luoyang to join the guards and experience the glory of the Wei Empire up close.

And then until the age of forty, all the reservists of the state.

As soon as the standing army and the service army are insufficient, the reservists must be mobilized as a whole and immediately go into battle.

This is actually a good thing for farmers.

This is equivalent to a normal season, the state pays to help you raise a child for three years, and all the expenses of these three years of service are borne by the state, not only that, but also military salary, which can reduce the burden on rural families.

Moreover, the Wei Empire has won many victories, the army is extremely combative, and the surrounding enemies have been swept away, and now it is not very dangerous to be a soldier to defend the frontier.

Therefore, for such a military service system, even if it is not mandatory, the enthusiasm of the farmers is still quite high.
