Chen Fei has positioned himself as a person on the side of the government, representing the side that supports centralized power. In many cases, Chen Fei really realized the meaning of politics. And Chen Fei really realized that there is a famous argument in foreign countries that as long as three people are together, politics is generated. Now Chen Fei is inevitably involved in politics, first of all, he is a poor family, both from his heart and from his identity. Chen Fei came to Datang alone, and he had no family to rely on, so he was naturally from a poor family.

As for before the crossing, he was not a nobleman, just an orphan. So it's just a poor family in the bones. The government, in fact, is essentially a melting pot where various classes fight each other, and it depends on who can get warmer in this "melting pot" and melt everyone else. This is also the legendary class struggle, and Chen Fei can only represent the Hanmen to fight with those scholars and compete for various interests. Even if Chen Fei defected to the Shi clan, it would be impossible for the Shi clan to accept him. Because the scholars are maintained by bloodline, they are not only pretentious, but also disdainful of accepting people who are not of the blood of the scholars to join them.

Before the Sui Dynasty developed the imperial examination system, the reason why the scholars were able to monopolize officialdom was actually that they were able to grasp cultural rights. And through the wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years, they have replaced the government in controlling the people through economic means and various means. In this way, they have enough strength to fight against the government, both politically and demographically.

Therefore, they oppose increasing the power of the imperial government, because if the power and control of the government are increased, it means that the power of their clan has declined. As long as the productivity continues to increase, more and more people can learn culture, so that the scholars can be truly excluded from the ruling class. Now if Chen Fei wants to implement the government down to the township level, he will naturally be ostracized by the scholars, because this will increase the rights of the government. Although there are many people in the noble clan, there are also many officials. But that doesn't mean they're willing to increase the government's control. For the scholars, being an official is only a means to compete for more benefits, not an end.

For the poor family, being an official is a channel to compete for their own interests. Although the poor family does not have the wealth inherited from their ancestors, they have one characteristic, that is, the advantage of talent reserve and the ability to accept open-mindedness. The scholars who rely on the bloodline to inherit the lineage, they cannot be able to produce wise talents in every generation, and they cannot ensure that the talented people in the family can become leaders. After all, the scholars pay attention to the inheritance of the eldest son, and all kinds of rules are also very strict, and everything is determined by nature.

But Hanmen is different. They knew that their strength was insufficient, so they were able to unite more officials from the poor sect to fight against the Shi clan together. Moreover, the poor officials do not have a natural blood advantage, and they have to work hard to gain power through their own efforts, so they are all proven talents, and there will be no talent disconnection. The leaders of the poor officials are selected and competed from tens of millions of ordinary people in the world, and the scholars are at most selected from hundreds of thousands of people, and even the traditions of various scholars will make many talented family lineages forced to be buried, so it can be said that the scholars are born a lot behind in terms of talents.

Talent is the primary productive force. And no matter what era it is, talent is the most important. Therefore, this battle between the Hanmen and the Shi clan will increase with the increase in productivity, and there will be more and more educated people in the Hanmen, and countless reserve troops will participate. But the nobles can only get fewer and fewer. Because the situation of their close relatives marrying is too serious, they are concentrated in a few families to marry, and the final result can only be the degradation of the bloodline, and the quality of the population in the entire family is getting worse and worse. And they are stuck in the old traditions, so they can only fall behind more and more.

Therefore, Chen Fei has absolute confidence in this competition between the scholars and the Hanmen. The Hanmen who brought it by yourself can win. Because Chen Fei has already brought over the methods that can increase crop yields and produce more materials in later generations, which is equivalent to raising productivity, so the people's lives are getting better and better, and the scholars are gradually starving to death. The scholar clan will definitely not take fifty years, that is, it will gradually disappear, and Chen Fei may be able to see it in his life.

"Ma Zhou, next you help me draft a plan, we plan to set up a rural office of the government in the following townships, responsible for preaching the agricultural policy of the imperial court, and be able to teach agricultural planting techniques to increase land production and income." Chen Fei said.

Ma Zhou immediately asked, "Rural office, what is this?" ”

"Hmph, village office, this is a good thing to help the government control the countryside. In each village office, there are probably one or two scribes, and then they are responsible for preaching the policies of the imperial court to the people in the villages, and imparting some knowledge of farming, so that the people's land production will continue to increase, and then they can continue to reap the benefits. I don't think the gentry will bounce back like this. Chen Fei said.

Of course, Chen Fei knew that if he directly set up a township-level government, the scholars would definitely oppose it, so Chen Fei did not plan to set up a township-level government at the beginning. Because Chen Fei's purpose is to start with the rural office first, and then there are not too many people in the rural office, each of them is one or two scribes, which seems to be streamlined to the extreme. It is simply impossible for such an office to exercise government authority. However, as long as the establishment of this government agency is established, it will not be so easy to abolish it. Once the staffing of this village office grows larger, it will be able to exercise government power at that time.

And this process has to be done slowly, first of all, just send one or two people, so as not to make the nobles too sensitive. In the next ten or twenty years, as the productive forces increase and the economic conditions become better and better, it is entirely possible to gradually send more personnel to the so-called village offices, so that a government can be formed. This process uses a core, which is just "boiling the frog in warm water". Little by little, as long as it is not set up all at once, the Nashi clan will also be boiled to death by this warm water.
