Chapter 77: A Lot of Pipes
His Majesty Li Er is standing on the position of the Guanlong group, and of course he cannot tolerate the arrogance of the Shandong Shi clan. wanted to improve the status of the Guanlong group through the form of official cultivation of genealogy, and forcibly designated them as scholars.
"The scholar clan was born and grew up because of the scholar system, the Zhantianyin custom system has been abolished, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has also been replaced by the imperial examination gate, which has neither political privileges nor economic privileges, so how can it be called a scholar clan? What can we do but be self-conscious? ”
"Even if it is called a scholar clan, although the name is written in the state Lu, but it is not exempt from poverty, every time a woman marries another clan, he will ask for a wide range of money, and more is more expensive, and the number of contracts is the same as the city, which is like selling marriage, which is shameful."
"However, the concept of disciples is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it takes a long time to change."
Xu Qilin said it more tactfully, but His Majesty Li Er and Secretary Ma also understood that although "Clan Chronicles" can be compiled and distributed, it will not have a big effect.
His Majesty Li Er frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Buying and selling marriages, paying more bribes, is like selling mane, and there is a style of good morality and righteousness." It is better to set the number of riches that the world's married daughters will receive, and they will not have to receive the wealth of the accompanying family; or prohibit certain surnames and certain families from marrying themselves. ”
Xu Qilin replied: "I'm afraid that the family of forbidden marriage will use this to raise its own value, as if asking for the 'imperial title'." ”
The more forbidden it is, the more precious it is, and the more forbidden it is, the more outsiders show off and boast about marrying the daughter of their family, this kind of thing seems to be not uncommon.
"This-" His Majesty Li Er lowered his eyelids, his fingers tapped the bookcase, and fell into thought.
Secretary Ma asked at the right time: "Captain Xuanjie, Your Majesty wants to reform the traditional concept of gate valves, respect the crown of the present dynasty, and suppress the Shandong scholars. ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Qilin said: "The scholar clan is the most important in compiling genealogy, paying attention to the origin, starting from this point, to get to the point. ”
After a pause, Xu Qilin continued: "However, Weichen still has a shallow opinion, thinking that a multi-pronged approach can defeat the arrogance of the Shi clan. ”
Oh, His Majesty Li Er laughed, pressed his hand down, and said, "How many more ways to do it?" That's amazing! Qi Lin sat down and said slowly. ”
Turning his head and smiling at Ma Zhou, he said, "King Bin also sits down, let's listen to this junior's powerful tricks." Monarchs and ministers sit down and talk about it, which is also a beautiful talk. ”
On the way of fart, is it okay for the master and you to be the same generation? Who made you shameless old rascal and have to marry my sister!
Xu Qilin smiled, Xiao Ma Zha sat down solidly, and arched his hand and said: "Weichen is frightened and shallow, so please ask Your Majesty and the people of Mashe to give me more advice." ”
His Majesty Li Er smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Xu Qilin sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "The foundation for the scholars to sustain for a long time is the economic foundation, that is, the fields. However, the implementation of the equalization system and the regulation of rents in this dynasty enabled some landless peasants to break away from their control and become yeoman farmers. To a certain extent, this has weakened the economic base of the scholars. ”
Secretary Ma nodded and agreed: "That's right. There were also regulations prohibiting the occupation of large quantities of land and the arbitrary sale of land, which also inhibited the land annexation of the scholars. ”
His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly, which shows that the legal system of Datang is still right.
Xu Qilin said: "But the Shi clan still occupies a lot of land, and there are still many farmers attached to it. If you become a yeoman farmer, how many fields can you plant with the servants of the scholars? ”
"The peasants were attached to the scholars, first, because they had no land, and secondly, they were afraid of heavy taxes. And the scholars can profit from it, one is to hide the Dingkou, and the other is to falsely report the acres of land. Secretary Ma smiled slightly and said, "This is a violation of national law and should be severely punished." ”
Ay? What the hell do you know?
Xu Qilin glanced at Ma Daji in some surprise, and then looked at His Majesty Li Er, bowed his head slightly, looked at him and encouraged: "Qi Lin, keep talking." ”
Well, since you've already said it, I'll talk about the second one.
Xu Qilin straightened up on the stool and said: "The reason why the scholars are not keen on the imperial examination is because they have a way to enter the imperial examination.......
The so-called door shade means that when the court is above the fifth rank official, there is the privilege of one or two sons of the shadow to be an official. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a group of founding heroes from the Shu clan were awarded high-ranking officials, and some scholars from the previous dynasty were also given corresponding privileges.
Xu Qilin's meaning is obvious, it is not that the door shade is completely banned, but that the door shade is not paid attention to, and the virtual officials have no power, so that the scholars cannot steal the key points of the imperial court, and it is difficult to form an intertwined relationship network.
"There needs to be an excuse to remove its doorway." His Majesty Li Er groaned, and then smiled slightly, it is not easy to grasp the handle, not to mention the crime of wanting to add it, even if you really go to investigate, you will inevitably find an excuse.
When Secretary Ma looked at His Majesty Li Er, he already knew it in his heart. This determination, when Xu Qilin mentioned it, was finally made up.
"Qi Lin, this is a double tube, not a lot of tubes." His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly teasingly, and he knew that he was in a good mood by looking at his expression.
Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "Weichen continued to talk about the third one. The scholars monopolized the official career, relying on the family history and being proficient in economics. In the imperial examination, His Majesty can re-enter the scholars, light the scriptures, curb their strengths, and control their shortcomings. Or, cancel the Ming Jing Section, okay? ”
Hahahaha, His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily, and Secretary Ma was also smiling.
"That's right, the advantage enjoyed by the scholars in the past dynasties is their excellent knowledge of scriptures." Ma Da Mi thought so, and nodded again and again, "Therefore, the children of the scholar clan mainly attack the Ming Scripture." If the Ming Sutra is not repeated, the influence of the scholars will inevitably decline. ”
His Majesty Li Er let out a sigh of relief and said, "Even if they change to enter the Shike, I'm afraid it will take a few years before they can adapt." Moreover, I choose from people based on their talents, regardless of their origins. If the children of the scholar clan are really talented and virtuous, they are also the pillars of my Tang Dynasty. ”
"Meritocracy" is indeed the biggest weapon to disintegrate the Shi clan, and for the Shi clan, Xu Qilin does not want to completely eliminate them, but to eliminate their privileges.
As for whether it violates the law and discipline, it is a matter of the state and the law, and he just mentioned it.
Ma Da Mi bowed his hand and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Captain Xuanjie is a martial artist, which is convenient for serving as a thousand cows. Once the term of office expires, it may be more appropriate to seal the document again. ”
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment, bowed his head in agreement, turned to Xu Qilin and said, "Qi Lin's three-pronged approach is indeed powerful. Well, I will promote you to a third-level loose officer, and you will be the captain of Zhiguo. ”
Captain Zhiguo is a military officer on the seventh grade, and there is only three levels of difference between the official Qianniu Bei under the sixth grade, and the word right to keep it can be canceled.
Oh, the third pipe is the third level, this deal is suitable.
Xu Qilin hurriedly thanked him, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, Weichen still has a fourth pipe that has not been said!" ”
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Secretary Ma, and the two of them laughed together.
