Chapter 205: The Family
The Tang Dynasty is dominated by the royal family on the surface.
But in reality, the royal family doesn't really rule everything.
for there are still forces that hinder them.
Family!
In Datang, the family is not only a title, but also represents prestige, power, and status.
They are entrenched in a certain place, such as Qinghe, Fanyang, Xingyang, etc., and control this place, as well as everything in the surrounding area, including but not limited to fields, commerce, officials, and so on.
It can be said that where they are, they are the uncrowned kings.
Where they lived, both ordinary people and officials depended on them.
As long as they are willing, they can pull up a team of 10,000 people, or even hundreds of thousands, on their own territory at any time.
And this naturally aroused the royal family and caused Li Shimin's jealousy.
it!
Locally, your words are better than mine, what do you want to do?
Rebellion?
With this kind of thought, Li Shimin naturally wanted to weaken the strength of the family.
But let's cut it directly... Li Shimin was also afraid that they would act excessively.
Like rebellion!
In that case, even if he succeeds in cutting down and suppresses the rebellion, he will definitely lose a lot.
Thereupon!
Li Shimin thought of a tactful solution.
pulled out a force to come out and fight with the family.
And at this time, Hanmen walked into his sight.
Hanmen in Datang does not refer to ordinary people, in fact, ordinary people in Datang are not people at all in the eyes of the powerful, Hanmen refers to those families who have fallen down, those who have not yet developed.
If these poor families want to regain their former glory and develop thoroughly, they will inevitably affect the interests of the old family, they can be said to be the enemies of the family, and it is best for them to deal with the family.
But the question is, the poor family is down-and-out and has not developed, what channels do they have to go through to stand up and confront the family?
Imperial examination!
Almost instantly, Li Shimin thought of a way.
If you want to be an official in Datang, if you want to take the position, in addition to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, there are basically only three ways.
Shade, recommendation, imperial examination!
But shelter and recommendation are obviously not something that can be walked by a poor family!
If there is a way to shelter and recommend, how can it be a poor door?
Therefore, it can only be the imperial examination!
Through the channel of the imperial examination, you can help the poor family up and let them fight against the family.
However, the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty was actually not perfect.
First of all!
The imperial examination is difficult.
As far as Xiucai is concerned, Wude has been admitted for five years, one has been admitted, Wude has been nine years, two people are Xiucai, Zhenguan is in the first year, one person is Xiucai, Zhenguan is seven years, that is, this year, there are only two.
Even if the children of the family come, they belong to thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, not to mention the poor family in terms of heritage.
They are basically in the exam, and they can't compare to the children of the family.
Secondly!
The imperial examinations in this era were not famous.
In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some cases where you give a high score because you are a relative or a colleague's child.
And these people who review are all high-ranking officials, and high-ranking officials in Datang basically have an inextricable relationship with the family, in this case, it is basically impossible for the poor family to pass the examination of the children of the family.
So!
Li Shimin wanted to change the imperial examination system to make it more beneficial to the poor.
However, in the past few years, because of the improper position, the position was a little unstable, coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters, the entire Datang was faintly turbulent, and he had to temporarily suppress this idea.
Otherwise, when the situation is unstable, there will be a conflict with the family, and if one is not careful, the entire Datang may get in.
After so many years, the situation in Datang gradually stabilized, and his ass began to sit firmly, so he started thinking about it again, ready to change the imperial examination system.
But the Maison is not an idiot!
How could they not know what Li Shimin was thinking?
So, naturally, they want to find a way to stop it.
But although the power of the family is not small, after all, the royal family is nominally the master of the country, and if Li Shimin really wants to revise the imperial examination, the family really has no way to stop it.
Thereupon!
They are ready to find another way, with the scarce things of the Tang Dynasty... food, to threaten Li Shimin, so as to achieve the goal of stopping him.

Chu Wangfu!
"It seems that the second Blood Inheritance Limit Family is about to be born in Shayin Village!" Li Kuan, who had just returned from Shayin Village, sighed.
Just now, when he went to the ninja world to deal with the affairs of the Great Chu Kingdom of the ninja world, he got a piece of news.
Shamen took on a special child who could absorb all kinds of iron objects as an apprentice.
And Li Kuan calculated according to the time, this should be the third generation of the wind shadow known as the strongest wind shadow in the future.
Belch... Well, the strongest or something, just listen to it.
After all, the three generations of Hokage are also known as the strongest in all generations! (Doghead)
But then again!
The appearance of the next three generations of Wind Shadow not only means that the future Sand Hidden Village will have a powerful combat power, but also the only bloodstained family, that is, the Zhuo clan that made a deal with Li Kuan, will not be the only one in the future.
In the future, there will be one more bloodstained family in Shayin Village, and Shayin Village will become stronger because of this!
It can be said that it is also a good thing for Li Kuan!
And just as Li Kuan was thinking about it, Zhao Shi came to his side.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shi said respectfully.
"What's the matter?" Li Kuan asked casually.
"The speed of food sales in the store has been a little wrong recently!"
Zhao Shi frowned and said, "In the past, although our grain was easy to sell, because the price was only a little worse than that of other stores, it was not so cheap that it was worth people to buy it by detour, or go far and far to buy it, so the sales speed has been maintained in a relatively stable state!" ”
"But just this month, the speed of grain sales suddenly increased several times, and the grain we were originally scheduled to sell out in three months has bottomed out in the past few days!"
Hearing this, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, keenly aware that there was something in it.
But just when he wanted to ask a little more about the situation.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Li Kuanzheng said.
"Squeak!"
Wu Laosi pushed open the door, walked in, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!" ”
"What's the matter?" Li Kuan asked curiously.
Because of his personality, Wu Laosi usually doesn't take the initiative to find Li Kuan if it is not something important, Li Kuan is looking for him, so now when he sees the other party coming to find him, Li Kuan feels that he has something to do.
Wu Laosi listened, stepped forward, and whispered in a voice that was inaudible to outsiders attached to Li Kuan's ear.
A moment later!
When he listened to Wu Laosi's words, Li Kuan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help muttering, "It turns out that the speed of grain sales is so fast, because of this!" These families originally didn't plan to pay attention to you for the time being, and they were going to take over Datang in the future and deal with it together! ”
"But now it seems... I can't do it if I don't deal with you! ”
As he spoke, Li Kuan's face showed a hint of fierceness.
