Seeing off the Kudi clan, Pei Min shook his head and sighed, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, people who are smart and rational can't avoid the limited vision of the times. ”

The decline and demise of the family was inevitable, but even a politically minded wise man like the Cudi did not believe in this historical inevitability.

Regarding the disposal of the family, Li Longji's thoughts are the same as Pei Min's.

The Maison is indeed a potential hazard.

It's just that Rome wasn't built in a day, it takes a process.

Even Wu Zetian's iron-blooded method of killing 1,000 enemies and damaging 800 of himself needed to achieve his goal through a long period of killing.

The reason why the scholars are strong depends on four points: politics, economy, living status, and cultural monopoly.

During the Cao Wei Dynasty, the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" was implemented, which made the state select officials only based on their family backgrounds, resulting in the monopolization of important official positions in the government.

The Pinguan Zhan Tianyin custom system allowed the Deshi clan to occupy a large amount of land and labor, and they were self-sufficient and had a strong economic source.

They do not intermarry with the Shu people, and even sit at different tables, rejecting and squeezing the poor everywhere in order to improve their status.

The most important thing is that they monopolize the culture, and with their own strong teachers, they continue to cultivate talents, and at the same time leave a little "leeway" for the poor.

There are really that kind of great talents who have passed through the heavens and the earth, and they will also pull them into the door in a way that is rich.

With this kind of gate politics, the scholars have not declined for thousands of years.

But now the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the product official Zhantian Yin custom system have been abolished, and politics and economy are not dominant.

The living status is also not as good as before, and the perfection of the imperial examination system has made many Shu families climb above the scholars, which is not out of reach.

Only in terms of cultural monopoly, the scholars still have a certain advantage.

Li Longji wanted to break this, but he repeatedly failed to do so.

Pei Min also saw through Li Longji's thoughts, and saw that he was in a bit of a dilemma, so he took it upon himself to intercede for Cui Xuan and Lu Wei.

Li Longji is indeed a little unable to step down, and the Feng Chan is imminent, he can't do the general killing with a quick knife, and he is not willing to condone giving up, and he can't go up or down.

Pei Min didn't care about the party, Li Longji naturally happily walked down the steps and said: "It's still quiet and generous, this kind of thing can be seen and let go." The most important thing is to set up a trap on the other party, and I don't know it. ”

Li Longji saw through Pei Min's meaning at a glance.

Cui Xuan and Lu Wei regarded Pei Min's withdrawal from the school and the establishment of the public school as a killer feature, but they didn't know that the real key was the first ancient masterpiece.

The root of the gentry faculty is books.

In ancient times, it was not as good as in later generations, because of the development of printing and the development of the Internet.

As long as there is an Internet, you can find any book.

But in ancient times, many excellent literary works were sealed.

As soon as the scholars have good articles, they taste them themselves, and then store them in the library building, and do not give the people of the Shu people a long view.

If the Shu people have good articles, they need to be appreciated by the scholars, and they still exist in their library and are not circulated.

Over time, the scholars mastered the literature of the world, while the Shu people almost had difficulty learning advanced knowledge.

This is also the key to why it is difficult for the Shu people to catch up with the Shi people.

Even if they are talented, they only have Chinese at the beginning of primary school, and how can they compare with high school and college diplomas on the one hand.

The loss of many articles in ancient times is also closely related to this model.

Pei Min made a library open to the people in Liangzhou, which can be said to be a dead end in this area of the Shi clan.

It's just that even in the imperial court, their collection of books is not as good as that of the scholars.

The library effect is not yet obvious.

However, as long as the ancient books and masterpieces of those sages are taken out of the library of the scholars, and then officially reprinted and dispersed the world in the situation of the library, it will be just like the teaching of the holy master Confucius in the past, so that more people who want to learn from the same as Confucius in the past can learn more knowledge and open up the wisdom of the people.

Pei Min ostensibly asks for books for the national treasury, but in fact, he asks for books for the upcoming government library policy.

Li Longji said: "I will arrange for Yu Wenrong to be personally responsible for this matter, and I will not let the family with the five surnames have room for stealing and cheating." You should know this person, right? ”

Of course, Pei Min recognized Yuwenrong, and he was very familiar with it. In the early years of Kaiyuan, he was the supervisor of the Imperial History Observatory and worked under him.

Very strategic, very thoughtful, and not afraid of offending people, great future.

Before Pei Min left office, he hesitated between Xiao Song and Yu Wenrong.

In the end, he chose Xiao Song to succeed him.

Pei Min didn't choose Yu Wenrong not because he was unsuitable, but because Xiao Song was better.

It is gold that always shines, and sure enough, Yu Wenrong is also appreciated by Li Longji.

Pei Min understood the situation, but said in his mouth: "It seems to be a little impression, I heard it there, but I don't remember it clearly." However, if you can win the favor of Your Majesty, you should be an excellent talent. ”

Yesterday, I consulted with the Kudi clan for more than two hours, and Pei Min also gained a lot of experience from her.

One of the points is that you can show your ability and intelligence in front of Li Longji, but don't give him the impression that he is inferior to you.

An emperor, high up and accustomed to it.

If someone proves that he is better than him again and again, even if the saint does not have the intention of killing his courtiers in vain, he will not use it too much.

Here Pei Min changed his original way of coping.

Li Longji really laughed and said: "I didn't expect Jingyuan to look away, this Yu Wenrong was still your subordinate at the beginning, and he was the supervisor of the imperial history." I look at it, but I am not inferior to Xiao Song at all, and now he is a member of the military department. He is not only a square person, but also quite literate, can write poems, do articles, is not afraid of bluffing, and is the most suitable candidate. ”

Pei Min's performance was too good, which made Li Longji, the emperor, feel a lot of pressure.

He is not an emperor who goes with the flow, the more outstanding the courtiers, the more he must show his ability, so as not to give the courtiers a comparison and it is difficult to control.

Now that Pei Min is gone, he is not as happy as himself.

Pei Min saw that Li Longji was smiling like a fool, and he also admired it in his heart, Kudi's political experience really worked.

Li Longji was in a very good mood, and suddenly thought of Princess Yuzhen, and was about to speak, but swallowed it again, and said: "It's Feng Zen again, and it's the scholar clan again, I haven't been able to sleep well these days." Today, Jingyuan resolutely took a big deal for me, and suddenly felt relaxed and a little tired. Go back first, I want to rest! General Gao, let someone send my imperial chariot, and Jingyuan will take my imperial chariot back! ”

Pei Min was surprised.

Take the royal chariot?

This is a great honor, and in the era of feudal etiquette and religion, it is a major event that can be written into the history books.

Generally speaking, only respected veterans such as Fang Xuanling, as well as high-ranking generals such as Li Jing and Su Dingfang, are eligible to ride.

Pei Min dared to agree, and hurriedly said humbly: "The minister is not used to making carriages, so let's ride back!" ”

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Hugh wants to make noise, I just want to block the mouths of people in the world." ”
