As expected by Xun, Chen Qunduan's new talent selection plan is the "Nine Grades of Officials and Persons Law" that has made him famous for thousands of years, also known as the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System".

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system inherited the two Han Dynasty inspection system, and the Qi Sui and Tang imperial examination systems, which occupied a very important position in the history of China's ancient political system. For a long time in his previous life, Shi Xun thought that it was a reactionary policy that turned back the clock on history, because it led to the emergence of the Wei and Jin gate valve system of "the upper grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no powerful family". But then I read more books, and my horizons gradually broadened, only to realize that I can't look at the problem so simply, the gate valve has been sitting big since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is not Chen Chang's own strength, relying on a nine-grade Zhongzheng system to make it, if he really has that energy, he is simply not a minister, but a god.

In fact, the essence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was to reduce the drawbacks of the two Han Dynasty inspection system, and in response to the new social form, it tried to return the power of recommendation to the imperial court. During the Han Dynasty, the three princes of the imperial court and local officials could recommend talents to the central government, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system made the right to recommend gradually attributed to the central officials appointed by the imperial court, and ordinary magistrates said that they were no longer counted. And the talent is divided into nine products (a product only exists in the theory, in fact, no one has this qualification, it is estimated that only from Dong Zhongshu's old master in the ground, it is possible to obtain), clear evaluation, in the system is also a big progress.

It is only that the central officials are responsible for evaluating and recommending local talents in their hometowns, and most of the heroes of the Xingwei Dynasty who started from poor families do not have such capital, and only the bureaucrats of the family who have a large family, many protégés, and have formed an intertwined relationship with each other through means such as guò marriage, can have sufficient vision and have sufficient resources. Therefore, the Zhongzheng officials were gradually in the hands of the family, and then they recommended a new round of children of the family to possess the power of recommendation. And so on and so on. Finally, there is no more advancement from the cold door.

When Chen Qun proposed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. It is required to evaluate talents by three elements, in order of importance: talent, morality, and family background. But with the gradual evolution of the system, the order is quickly reversed, and the family background jumps to the first place, so that it can be thrown to the end - the family background is high enough, and the talent can be virtuous (countless people help boast), and it is naturally ranked among the top grades; And even if the talent is high, the lack of family background can only be condescended to the inferior grade.

Plainly. As for the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the inspection system has been basically controlled by the family of gate valves, and Cao Cao proposed "meritocracy" to open the door to the Shu people, which will inevitably damage the rights of the family. Chen Qun's Jiupin Zhongzheng system tried to take a middle way, not only giving the cold family sweetness, but also trying to take care of the interests of the family, and strive for both not to be offended, so as to expand the ruling base to the greatest extent. Therefore, the original intention of this system is still good.

Besides. Even if there is no Jiupin Zhongzheng system, as long as the two Han inspection system is continued. The family of gate valves can still grasp the power of the state step by step - Chen Qun is a conciliator, not a reactionary.

Shixun didn't want to make a big deal about the system, so he delegated the power of recommendation to the electoral department, as well as the corresponding county election department and the county official selection department. However, Chen Qun made it very clear in the plan that because of the war and the great mobility of talents in various parts of the Central Plains, it is difficult for the election officials at all levels appointed by the imperial court to grasp sufficient information. This is not a safe plan.

It's really hard to refute this as Xun. Because as far as the overall prima is concerned, the Shu clan is indeed much inferior to the family—especially on the premise that the family has not been rotten to the root like after the Wei and Jin dynasties—and the family has a natural advantage. If this reality is not taken into account, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the system of electing officials; If we compromise with reality, our advantage will gradually turn into a monopoly.

It is said that the government of the gate is bad, not because there are more talents among the landlords of the Shu nationality than among the landlords of the family, but because the family naturally controls the resources of the country, does not give the Shu people a chance to come out peacefully, and leads the solidification of the class, which is the source of decay.

So it was Xun who shouted vigorously in his heart: "Throw it back, throw it back on the girl's face!" His hands trembled involuntarily, and finally folded the paper and put it in his arms, and at the same time barely squeezed out a wry smile: "Changwenguo is ingenious, and wait for me to think about ......it."

Of course, Chen Qun would not ignore Shi Xun's expression, so he arched his hand and asked sincerely: "Ling Jun seems to have something to disagree with, please ask." "If you have any doubts about my plan, what opinions do you have, you can say it to your face, I am not a person who can't listen to opinions, and I am not "Lu Lan", known as "Lu Lan", which is known as a daughter is not easy to say. You put forward an idea, let's discuss it again, and I can change it.

Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "Wei Gongyun is a meritocrat, and this article is a long article that emphasizes both virtue and ability, and I am afraid that it will be the opposite." ”

Chen Qun said that meritocracy is just a slogan that has to be shouted in response to the troubled times and in order to recruit talents as much as possible, but you and I are both Confucian disciples, can we only see their talents and ignore their virtues? "Wei Gong also Zeng Yun: 'Governing peace and virtue, there is a function of rewarding things.'" Therefore, this article is written for the sake of eternal peace, not just for the present. ”

It was Xunxin who said that what he was afraid of was that after the peace of eternity, your set would naturally have a market, and then it would become more and more crooked. But some words can't be said too obviously, so I have to continue to play sloppy: "Although the Central Plains is fixed, Wu, Shu, and Liang are still there, and they cannot be called Taiping." The Dharma will be applied now, and in the future, so I want to think of a consistent plan. "Either you'll wait until the world is really peaceful before you come up with it, or let me think about it and see if there's a workaround to implement it now.

Finally got rid of Chen Qun, Shi Xun carried this macro article, and ran home directly after work to discuss with Guan Jing. Guan Shiqi's background is not too high, so he can only follow Gongsun Zhan, who is a big boss, and he can't get on the thighs of Liu Yu, Yuan Shao and others. Therefore, the people around you want to find a plan that can be discussed, and Guan Shiqi is very suitable.

However, Guan Jing is only a little clever, lacks great wisdom, and cannot overlook the mighty historical trend like a hero, the more he looks at Chen Qun's article, the more reasonable he feels - at least it is more feasible than continuing the probation system. It wasn't until Shi Xun pointed out the possible drawbacks of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in the future that Guan Jing was shocked and spread his hands: "What can I do?" Only scratch! "The only way to stop this plan is to block it.

It was Xun Xin who said that even you can't see the flaws at a glance, and it will be even more difficult for others to see it - maybe some family talents such as Xun Yu and others can see it, but based on the family's position, he may not be able to obstruct it. How do I stop it? Chen Changwen is also a famous person in the world, and he is also the secretary of the ministry, his motion is not something I can hold down if I want to press it, once it must be put into public discussion, the possibility of passing guò is greater than eighty!

I have to find a way to tamper with it, and I have to make it reasonable, then I can try to turn the situation around. And this matter can't be delayed, if it really takes three or five days, Chen Qun comes over to ask me for my opinion, and if I continue to perfunctory, he may directly submit it to Cao Cao, or hand it to his own head official, Shangshu Ling Xunyou. At that point, will I be able to stop it?

But seeing that Guan Shiqi didn't have any ideas, he had to wander around the room alone. The greatest trouble in life is that you know the direction of history, but you can't deflect it, and you don't even have an accomplice to talk to......

waited until after getting off work the next day, and went directly out of the city as usual, and went to the Guan family's village to reunite with his concubine and son.

Since Wei Guozhao was built, Shi Xun only hung up an idle position in the Han Dynasty, but Shi Wei was the Zhongshu Order, so he naturally wanted to move his family to Anyi. This time he started much faster than when he moved the capital to Xuchang, that day Xi was worried about the wind, the official edict of the imperial court had not yet been issued, he sent the door to run to the suburbs of Anyi to circle a large piece of land, the new Zhuang Yuan, than the scale outside the city of Xudu. It's still the old rule, Guan Si lives in the village outside the city, Cao Miao and Ganyu live in the mansion in the city, but Anyi City is already smaller than Xu Du, and the new mansion has shrunk by more than three percent.

That night, a family of four - including the old man Guan Hai - according to the habit of Shi Xun, sat together with some snacks before going to bed, and Guan Hai saw that something was wrong - you chewed this snack for a long time, and you still had a tooth flower, is it a stomach ache? As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "What troubles are there in the court that makes you frown?" ”

Guan Hai has now become a complete old farmer - but maybe this is his true face - he squats in the fields with Bai Lao Wu all day to tend to the crops, or instructs the farmers to work. Wuyi has long been rusty, and he is too lazy to deal with national affairs, according to what he said to Shixun: "If the world is peaceful, why will I rebel?" But if you have to eat, who cares about the blue sky and the yellow sky? Thou art the head of the household, and thou shalt only take care of thy peace, and thy wife and children shall be healthy. ”

Well, now I don't ask for "peace and tranquility", but peace and tranquility do.

Shi Xun was meditating Chen Qun's Nine Grades Zhongzheng System, and when he heard Guan Hai ask, it was not appropriate to answer, and he didn't know how to say it, so he thought about it for a long time, so he simply gave an example: "When Ah Weng is still in charge of the army, he has a foreign army, which is difficult to call, and he wants to select some generals first, but he doesn't know who is loyal and brave." If you want Qianyuan to recommend it, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to form a gang and make it a private army, how to deal with this? ”

Guan Hai smiled "hehe": "What's so difficult about this?" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked. Guan Hai glanced at his daughter: "Ben Si'er also knows the method of choosing generals, why don't you ask?" Before Shixun could speak, Guan Si honestly and unceremoniously began to show off:

"There are two methods, one is recommended by him, but it must be assessed, and those who can walk the triad under their own self-lance can be used, and they must also be used to win their hearts, so as not to be recommended by the party. Second, regardless of the level of the person, if you allow people to recommend themselves, you must also go to the three under my lance. If these two types of officials are mixed, it is naturally difficult for them to succeed in their own affairs. ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted: "The law is free, and I didn't even think about it, it's really like in a dream!" (To be continued......)
