In the Lingtian Pavilion, when Luo Xuanchen knew that Luo Su wanted to practice feudalism again, he was shocked, and then immediately recalled why Luo Su looked at him with pity after he proposed the imperial examination system.

The feudal Daxing and the imperial examination are extremely conflicting.

In the end, the imperial examination must be a stable civilian government that suppresses everything, which is not a simple national policy of emphasizing literature over military force.

Even if you don't emphasize literature over martial arts, literature is the first choice for most people and even most nobles.

A little comparison, you can know where the advantage of Wen Biwu is-

The obvious ceiling is higher and can go all the way up to the prime minister.

There is no danger to life, there is no need to fight, there is no need to worry about dying on the battlefield at any time.

You don't need to go to the bitter cold land to defend and make meritorious contributions, you can stay in the Huahua World in the Central Plains.

The inheritance of Jiangmen is also unstable, too much to eat talent, and the war is a zero-sum game, the stronger talent takes everything, failure is death, this is not the case in the political arena, more people can be accommodated, even if it is a temporary failure, there is a chance to start over.

These scholars, such as the Shandong Shi clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan, have proved with their own personal experience that the importance of poetry and book heirlooms has been turned to ashes, and they are still alive.

Not to mention, in the subconscious of almost all people, talent speaks of poetry and songs, governing the country, not marching and fighting.

Even in such a martial Tang Dynasty, it has been condensing its external development, and the civil officials will inevitably easily suppress the military attachés, which is an objective fact, and is not subject to human will.

Moreover, the civilian government is better than the military government, so in a large country, the civilian government is the ultimate doom.

Luo Xuanchen, or Luo's, of course knows this.

When there is no large-scale war in the future, especially after the king's control over the army declines, he will trust the civil officials who will not rebel more, and the military attaché will definitely be suppressed.

Those who can fight against the civil officials are the hereditary aristocracy, or rather, this group of people is against the civil officials who have come out of the imperial examination.

The aristocracy took a different path.

The civil officials of the imperial examination do not rely on blood inheritance, and the aristocracy relies on blood inheritance, and when the state and Zhou were in the early Bang Zhou, those hereditary nobles were deprived of their privileges by the scholars in the reform of the law, and the hereditary system of the hereditary secretary was canceled, and finally the military nobles and scholars became the protagonists of the times.

And the imperial examination is the most extreme taxi, what can be admitted is a cow, and if you can't pass the exam, you don't even have the qualifications to go to the stage, this is the imperial examination!

A system that has the widest range of sources and can best select talents, a system that is better than all previous systems for electing officials, a system that is the fairest, and a system that evaluates only talents and nothing else, is destined to take the road that any country is destined to embark on if it wants to inherit stability.

Even Luo Su would touch Luo Xuanchen's head and say, "The imperial examination system, which will last forever, is an advanced thing, will eventually spread in the land of Zhuxia and bloom with its brilliance." ”

Luo Xuanchen said with some difficulty: "But it's about to usher in a blow, as you said, even if I am right, but colliding with your plan, I am also wrong, because it is out of place." ”

Luo Xuanchen's voice was very low, Luo Su had taught him, which made him make an accurate judgment on Datang.

That is the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, the economic base has completely begun to transition to the common people, and the common people can enter the political stage, not the civilian politics of the Han Dynasty that has white clothes on the surface, but is actually in the aristocratic society.

Rather, it was the large-scale participation of the common people in politics from the central to the local, and the opportunity to become a nobleman was almost the same as that of the aristocracy, and they would not be politically discriminated against.

There was no problem with his judgment, especially with the advent of block printing, the reduction of the cost of washi paper, and the maturity of both economically and politically.

According to the normal historical process of development, it is enough to seize the political power belonging to the commoners step by step, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the result is doomed, that is, the civilian class with a blowout of talents will beat the aristocratic class all over the ground.

Just like the original taxi class, the doctor class was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

But Losu appeared.

He's going to open the seal.

What does it mean to open the seal?

Exploit.

Developing outside the country is not the same as the founding of the Central Plains, and it is not enough to just give benefits.

In the far away place of the Tiangao Emperor, if you can't form an extremely close community of interests, the people who go out together will definitely not mind and change to a boss.

In other words, in that environment, to still want to play centralization is to dream, but whoever goes out will definitely ask for land and population.

And in fact, they don't need to take the initiative to ask for it, because those leaders who go out will "take the initiative" to give it themselves, after all, the person who goes out is not one, and if you don't give it, they will naturally find someone who is willing to give it to fight the world together.

In this case, a large number of real nobles will come out, the top is the king, and then layer by layer, all of them are nobles with their own land, fiefdom and statehood, and so on.

Luo Xuanchen didn't have to guess, he knew that the ancestor would definitely choose this way, because this method was the fastest to develop.

This is called horse racing, where you fight, where you hit, where you fight, where is yours, can stimulate the passion of the battle to the greatest extent.

But the end result is the creation of a large number of noble nobles.

The existence of these nobles will seriously hinder the upward space of the imperial examination, after all, these nobles, the Son of Heaven cannot let them be outside, and some of them will definitely be recalled in the future.

Otherwise, two or three generations will not know each other.

Now the Son of Heaven Li Shimin is not marrying his sister and daughter to heroes, and I don't know how many such marriages there will be in the future.

Those people will occupy all the official positions of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Xuanchen shuddered when he thought about that kind of scene.

He couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, is there any other way?" After so many years, there are current results, once back to a thousand years ago, is it too costly. ”

Luo Su was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "When I persuaded the Son of Heaven to divide Yan Wang Ke to Mobei, did you think that there would definitely be blood and rain in the future?" ”

Luo Xuanchen was dumbfounded, and then said in a low voice: "Shengming has no one to pass you, of course you know." ”

Luo Su breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Yes, I know, but I still have to do this, you have been the prime minister for maybe many years, you have been the prime minister twice, and you have risen twice, but you still haven't understood one thing."

You remember, never think about the best of both worlds.

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and any policy will lead to a bad outcome in the future.

I know better than anyone the disadvantages of separation, but I also know better than anyone the benefits of separation, and when I decide to do something, I don't think about its impact anymore.

That's just mediocrity.

Dividing is such a thing, the world is constantly moving forward, I said that the imperial examination system you proposed is destined to shine, this is destined.

But it was not destined for Zhuxia to obtain enough land.

It is not destined that the family will get enough foundation to sustain the next so many years.

Let me give you an example.

In front of you, there is a piece of gold, get it, you will get extremely considerable wealth, it is here, it will not move, waiting for you.

On the other side, there is another piece of gold that is tumbling, but you have to chase it immediately, or it will fall off the cliff and never be found again.

What would you choose? ”

Luo Xuanchen said in a deep voice: "I will chase the tumbling piece of gold, and after chasing it, I will go back and get the previous piece of gold."

Ancestor, I see what you mean.

The division needs the right time, the right place, and the right people, and now Datang has let you see the right time, the right place, and the right people, so you would rather sacrifice other things to roll out the curtain of this separation. ”

Luo Su paced in the Lingtian Pavilion, and said with a slight sigh: "I came to Datang to serve as this national teacher, and promoting the division of the seal is one of my biggest missions.

So I persuaded the Son of Heaven to send Yan Wang Ke to Mobei, not only to sinicize the Mobei tribe, but also to stabilize Mobei and not to disturb the future plan.

As early as more than ten years ago, I sent Xuanzang to the Western Regions, and the current result is quite satisfactory to me.

How much luck can we Rockwell pry from this?

There must be a lot.

We need more foundation, we need more luck, and continue to deepen our presence in Li Tang, and Li Tang's share of the founding of the country is basically finished.

You won't have enough to give when you are promoted.

I guess that when Datang continues to flourish, as long as we can participate in it, we can get a lot of luck.

The Tang Dynasty has become more brilliant, and even surpassed the Han Dynasty, and our Luo family has also become brilliant, isn't this a win-win good thing? ”

Luo Su has never forgotten that one of the big goals of his incarnation is to enrich Luo's depleted Qi Luck Base again, so his layout is often going in the direction of grabbing Qi Luck Points.

Let Luo Xuanxing help Yan Wang Ke is like this, let Luo Xuanzang go to the Western Regions, and now prepare to open the seal is also like this.

In the process of helping the Tang Dynasty expand its influence and become more prosperous, he easily gave Luo's benefits, which was not ordinary fame and fortune, but supernatural luck that others could not understand.

Luo Xuanchen has served as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and over the years, Luo's has not had the sense of crisis he had at the beginning, and for a while, he didn't even react, and Luo's is still in a period of lack of luck.

Only Luo Su, the old ancestor, still remembers this incident, and it can be said that Luo's integration into the Tang Dynasty is quite good, even better than Luo Su imagined.
