Chapter Seventy-Five: If You Can't Do It, Just Do It
For the emperor, Qin Ming was a little disappointed today.
At this moment, hearing the emperor say that he would fall into a life-and-death crisis tomorrow, Qin Ming couldn't help frowning and said, "The big family really has such a big power?" β
"In this whole world, there are still some changes in dynasties, but the big families can stand for hundreds of years or thousands of years, and some families are not even affected in the change of dynasties, you say, are they not very powerful?"
The emperor frowned, obviously he was also quite troubled by the existence of the family.
This made Qin Ming interested, and said, "How can these big families stand for so long? Is it comparable to royalty? β
"Although they are not as good as the royal family, their advantages are not comparable to my royal family." The emperor took a deep breath, sat down on the stone bench, and said:
"Since ancient times, there have been some families in the world, and these families have a long heritage, not only with strong financial resources, but also with most of the books in the world.
This is the point, all the books in the world are in their hands, where do ordinary people have books to read? This has caused a phenomenon, that is, most of the scholars come from the family of gate valves.
And in this world, whether it is governing the country or Anbang and the people, we need learned scholars to do these things. As a result, most of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were from the children of the family or the students of the family. β
Hearing the emperor's words, Qin Ming suddenly understood.
It reminded him of the concept of the family gate valve that he had taught his history teacher in history class when he was in his world.
Due to the family's strong financial resources and a large number of books, they provided very good educational conditions for their descendants or heirs, allowing them to win at the starting line.
As a result, it gave their descendants the ability and convenience to enter the court or control various forces.
Even in times of war, these families are also the targets of various forces.
And these big families often don't choose one side to help, and usually arrange talents in the family to enter the forces of all parties.
In this way, no matter which side wins, there are people from the family on this side, then the family can continue to develop smoothly in the new dynasty.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Langya Zhuge family was a well-known family.
One of the most famous figures is the famous Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang is the prime minister of Shu Han, and Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin is an important minister of Eastern Wu, an official to a general, and a pastor of Yuzhou.
Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Dan was a general of the Wei State, and the official was the general of the Eastern Expedition.
It can be seen from here that the Zhuge family has arranged people in the tripartite camp, and whoever wins or loses will not affect the interests of the Zhuge family.
This is the shrewdness of the family.
Your court needs talents, and my family has talents.
As a result, the family family has become a transcendent existence, and even sometimes, if the emperor is incompetent, I am afraid that the policies of this dynasty will be controlled by the family family.
Understanding the stakes, Qin Ming said solemnly:
"So, the Zheng family, is this such a big family?"
The Emperor nodded and said, "That's right! β
"Yes...... I heard that no one in the Zheng family is an official in the imperial court? Qin Ming was puzzled.
The emperor said again: "The Zheng family has indeed declined a little, because the Zheng family's lineage has become a single lineage until now. However, there are many disciples of the Zheng family, and in the court, there are no less than ten civil officials who are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Zheng family. β
Qin Ming understood, took a deep breath, and said after a long time: "So Your Majesty is in the Qingxin Hall today, isn't he really angry?" β
"I don't get angry about it, but I'm not very angry. At that time, such an irascible appearance was completely for Concubine Shu and Shuntianfu Yin to see. The emperor said, glancing at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming said: "To appease them? β
"Well...... If I don't act angry, then don't they think I don't value the family? That way, it's not sure they'll do something.
After all, most of the civil officials in this court are from families, and if they are united, there is nothing I can do. Saying this, the emperor looked a little helpless.
Qin Ming's eyes rolled, thinking about this, he had to pull the emperor into the water.
Hearing him say this, it is really troublesome for him to fight with the big family, and he must have the support of the emperor.
So Qin Ming said: "Your Majesty, have you wanted to clean up these big families for a long time?" β
The emperor's eyes narrowed: "Which emperor doesn't want to clean them up?" If they are defeated, the real power of the world will be all in my hands. β
"That'...... What if I help your majesty destroy these families? Qin Ming asked.
The emperor was taken aback, looked at Qin Ming, and said:
"This is not child's play, you must know that the family has been inherited for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years, and its power is so strong and the resources under its control are really unfathomable."
Qin Ming took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing more than a system of books and official selection. β
The emperor glanced at Qin Ming in surprise, he didn't expect Qin Ming to say the key to this.
But then he sneered: "The point is books, if there are more books, everyone in the world can read." Everyone has culture, and there are talents everywhere, and the family has lost a big advantage. β
Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "I should be able to solve the problem of books." β
The emperor snorted and said, "Huangkou Xiaoer, it's nonsense. Don't talk about books, even paper is expensive.
Besides, if you spend a lot of money to buy paper, you can find someone to copy the book, where can you find it? Even if you find someone, how many books can you copy out? β
Qin Ming rolled his eyes, as a person from the twenty-first century of the earth, could he not know the art of papermaking? Could he not know about movable type printing?
Knowing these two points, is it a problem to make paper and print books?
So he spoke: "If Your Majesty can trust me, help me deal with the Zheng family together." Then I can help Your Majesty so that everyone in the world can study.
When the time comes, the children of the poor family can also be educated, and you will set up an examination system to select outstanding literati to serve as officials, and no longer use people from the big family, won't this big family be defeated? β
The emperor stared at Qin Ming deadly: "Do you really have a way?" β
"When have I lied to Your Majesty? After all, you are my father-in-law, and I have no reason to lie to you? Qin Ming said seriously.
The emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to you." From today onwards, you sing red face, I sing white face. I stand on the side of the family to stabilize them on the surface, and secretly assist you with all my might. β
Qin Ming smiled, the exciting moment is coming again.
In fact, Qin Ming is not afraid of these so-called families at all, especially the Zheng family.
If the Zheng family really provoked Qin Ming, it was a big deal that Qin Ming collapsed them one by one with a pistol, what else could he do?
