After Guo Jin calmed down and thought about it carefully, he felt that this was actually a good thing.

Guo Peng said that when your power is greater than that of your subordinates, your subordinates will take the initiative to praise you, take the initiative to please you, and say some flattering things to you.

This proves that you are on the right path.

If your power is not as great as that of your subordinates, and you will only go up to the table to praise you and say good things to you if you have a problem with your brain, you must be secretly poking and poking at you sarcastically.

Whether there is anyone around you to talk to you, say some flattering and nice words, whether there is a sycophant by your side, this is one of the important criteria for judging whether an emperor is qualified or not.

Those scholars always said that the emperor must be surrounded by people who dare to admonish and speak out, so that he is a truly wise emperor.

Guo Jin once thought that this was right, and then was slapped on the head by Guo Peng.

"There is not even a sycophant person around, it is a person who dares to step on your head and point fingers at you, are you embarrassed to say that you are the emperor? Which emperor are you? Sanyo Gong? ”

This slap woke Guo Jin up at that time.

He got out of the trap set by the scholars in time and followed Guo Peng's footsteps, thinking that there must be a certain number of sycophants around him in order to be regarded as an emperor who really holds authority.

And when those who used to be quick in their affairs also begin to show their loyalty, it proves that you, the emperor, have so much power that no one can compete with it.

Obviously, now all the people in the court have gone to the table to celebrate Guo Peng's victory, and none of them have been pulled down, which is enough to prove that Guo Peng's prestige and power have both stood at the peak.

He has the prestige and power to decide the affairs of the world with one word.

Guo Jin couldn't help but think of what his father had said to him before he set out on the expedition.

His father's royal expedition was to push his prestige and power to the top, relying on this prestige and power to do what he always wanted to do but always felt that the time was not right.

Promote the existence of punctuation, promote the punctuation revolution, and forcibly end the dispute between modern and ancient texts and family law.

Unify academics, unify ideas, take the cultural peak from private hands back to the hands of the government, change private learning into public schools, and all the right to interpret learning belongs to the central government and the government.

Let the families that try to monopolize scholarship and the power derived from it with the power of classical interpretation be destroyed, so that all those who think like this will never have the opportunity to do so again.

From now on, all officials selected throughout the country will be selected by examination, and except for those who have made military merits and honored their wives and sons, they are not allowed to be recommended or hereditary, and all of them are based on examinations.

Test their literary talents, test their morality, and take this as the standard.

Regardless of whether they are from the Shi clan, the Han family, or Li Shu, they all have the same qualifications to participate in the examination, and the upward channel is opened, although it is still narrow and unstable, but this channel has been opened.

The unprecedented has been opened.

This is what Guo Peng wants to do with prestige and power.

Guo Jin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the passionate emotions in his heart.

My father had made too many preparations for this day.

The secret workshop hidden in the mountains of Bingzhou, the mountain of paper books, and the mature technology that can form a production line are my father's preparation.

A sufficient number of training camp children in the father's private hands, as well as the Linzi camp with tentacles all over the country, are also the father's preparations.

Enough money, a strong enough army, a broad enough grassroots government, and a sufficient number of grassroots officials are all ready to form the cornerstone of the stability of the entire country.

In the name of sweeping away corrupt officials, vacate some official positions for his own people, let his people have more positions, hold more power positions at the grassroots level, and hollow out the foundation of the scholars.

Hold up the scholars and turn them into a castle in the air, so that they will lose their foundation in a state of complacency, and further lose the strength to resist Guo Peng's absolute power, so as to lose the monopoly position on which they depend for their livelihood.

Then, the Emperor of Wei is the real emperor, the emperor of the same.

At a time when the ministers rejoiced in the dream of the coming prosperous times.

At a time when people are celebrating each other for the coming golden age.

When people with bad intentions are extremely desperate in the face of Guo Peng's strength.

At this time, there was no difference between what Guo Jin thought and what Guo Peng thought.

The things that victory could cover were in his eyes, and he couldn't help but imagine what kind of grand occasion it would be for the Wei Empire if his father succeeded.

Everyone has an equal opportunity to read, and everyone has an equal opportunity to take exams.

The imperial court can select real talents through examinations, not those bastards who rely on their parents, grandparents, or other nepotism to enter the court.

With a wider selection of people, the emperor will have greater bargaining power, and everything will no longer be the final say of the scholars, and the scholars will not be able to cover the sky and manipulate public opinion with one hand.

However, Guo Peng told Guo Jin everything, and the only thing he didn't tell Guo Jin was that their father and son were not a historical trend.

It is the original historical trend that scholars go to the top.

The only thing the scholars did wrong was that they failed to help Yuan Shao kill Guo Peng, and they failed to recognize Guo's true face in time, thus making him emperor.

The emperor is a countercurrent, a countercurrent that leads to an unconceived path, a countercurrent that has no precedent to follow, and a countercurrent that will crush bones if you are not careful.

The undefeated golden body can make Guo Peng a stable emperor, but it can't make him a stable revolutionary.

Guo Peng nominally promoted the reform of the government as emperor, but the core of this reform was a revolution.

This is not a power struggle within the ruling group, not a power game played by a family, but a revolution in plain and clear terms.

It's just that the identity of this revolutionary happens to be the emperor, and it's not a big deal.

The scholars have always thought that they are the foundation of the dynasty and the pillar of the emperor, but Guo Peng has long since stopped taking them as the foundation.

In Guo Peng's opinion, they are outdated, and it is time to be eliminated.

Guo Peng knew very well that the Wei Empire was different from the Eastern Han Empire, and the foundation of the Wei Empire was not scholars.

The Eastern Han Empire was established with the support of the great powers.

Without those big tycoons investing in Liu Xiu, without Nanyang Haoqiang and Hebei Haoqiang's shares in Liu Xiu Group, and giving him soldiers, horses, grain and grass, the Eastern Han Empire would not have been established.

From this point of view, the Eastern Han Empire established by Liu Xiu never really penetrated into the people.

After the White Tiger Conference, these powerful people gradually transformed into a more advanced scholar clan, and kidnapped the Eastern Han Dynasty regime in a more advanced way by monopolizing academics, which became its [foundation].

This was not the case at the beginning of the establishment of the Wei Empire.

At the beginning of the establishment of Guo Wei Group, there were no scholars as shareholders, except for Guo Peng himself, all his subordinates were not scholars.

At the beginning, Guo Wei Group was completely composed of the powerful and the people of Li Min.

It wasn't until Guo Peng became the Taishou of Shanggu that a few scholars joined Guo Wei's group in their personal capacity, and they did not bring their family's resources to buy shares.

The first to invest in the shares were only the Cao family, the Xiahou family, the Cheng family, and the Guo family.

They invested in Guo Peng with their own net worth, obtained a certain amount of equity, and got rich returns.

The rest was all Guo Peng's own accumulation of capital, food, resources, army building, and strengthening the regime through tuntian.

It can be said that Guo Wei Group has been in an absolute controlling position since the very beginning.

In the entire Qingzhou era of development and growth, except for the Guo family, no scholar tried to invest resources in shares, all of them were only tentative entries, at most they were technical shares, such as Xun Yu.

Because they didn't think Guo Peng would have the last laugh.

Yuan Shao is strong enough, Yuan Shu is strong enough, and even Liu Biao's fame and territory are very large, Guo Peng did not have any advantages at the beginning, and his foundation was unstable.

Although this method brought the dilemma of lack of talent to Guo Peng in the early days, it also prompted him to implement the lower-level strategy more simply and thoroughly.

Let him work harder to promote the policy, put the tentacles of power at the bottom, teach people to read, implement a literacy policy, and discover the first batch of people who can serve as grassroots officials in the large base of the Li people, and control the bottom for him.

From the very beginning, he followed the line of the masses of the people, laying a solid foundation for Guo Wei's regime.

After the Guo Wei regime has fully matured, it will be very difficult for anyone to buy shares, or it will be difficult to get decisive equity.

The foundation of the Wei Empire was Guo Peng's single-handedly creation of the Tuntian farm system throughout the country.

All the soldiers, rations, ordnance, military expenses, etc., needed to maintain the existence of the Wei Empire were all produced by this system, and not many of the great scholars invested in it.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Wei Empire, Guo Peng had the confidence and qualifications to set off political storms one after another.

Because he knew that he had an absolute controlling stake in the Wei Empire.

Most of those scholars relied on cultural monopoly to make technical shares after the group became successful, occupying a little pitiful equity, but they wanted to obtain the decision-making position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is such a beautiful thing in the world?

The scholars could not be eliminated for a while, but the scholars did not want to use technology monopoly to fight against his absolute control.

In a state where the grassroots forces are completely unable to compete with Guo, the most they can do is to rely on their cultural monopoly to launch a non-violent non-cooperation movement to force Guo to make concessions.

Resignation, passive sabotage, strikes, sit-in demonstrations, etc., shut down the government, and made Guo unable to do things.

This is their biggest and only reliance, they can no longer provoke the world again, and then plot to plan a [Yellow Turban Uprising] to give Guo someone a little color.

However, the nirvana weapon to break the technological monopoly of scholars is already in the hands of Guo someone, and the technological monopoly of scholars is just a joke in Guo's eyes.

Guo Peng, who was on the way back from the expedition, was sneering silently.
