Chapter 682: Impact

Cao Pi's political IQ is not low, he actually knows very well the situation he is facing now.

In order to be able to be the emperor, Cao Pi did give up Cao Cao's legacy strategy of semi-cooperation and half-confrontation to a certain extent, and compromised the family to a certain extent.

But that doesn't mean Cao Pi doesn't know how risky it is.

Especially in the past few years after ascending the throne, Cao Pi can obviously feel that his control of the government is not as free as his father's, and he lacks the imperial demeanor of "making a decision in one word".

At first, Cao Pi also thought that it was because he was inferior to Cao Cao in ability, but later, especially after seeing the Dingkou Book of Luoyang Tuntian, Cao Pi finally realized that these families had actually invisibly eaten away at the foundation of the Great Wei.

But he realized that although Cao Pi also knew that he couldn't let the family go on like this, he really didn't have the courage to solve these problems immediately.

There are too many families in the Central Plains and Hebei, and the influence is also amazing, to put it mildly, if you add up the number of families in Eastern Wu and Western Shu, they are not as many as half of the number of families in the Central Plains and Hebei.

It's a very scary force.

In the face of this force, Cao Pi really didn't dare to act rashly.

Cao Pi also knew that his courage was not as good as Cao Cao's, but in the early years, Cao Cao gave in to the celebrities, and the result in exchange was that his friend Chen Gong rebelled against Lu Bu, and almost all the counties in Yanzhou rebelled.

Since then, even Cao Cao finally chose to compromise and cooperate with the family for the time being, until he later destroyed Yuan Shao, captured Hebei, and used the contradictions between the Hebei family and the Yingchuan family to check and balance it, which controlled all the situation.

Cao Cao can't handle it, how can he Cao Pi completely handle it?!

Therefore, Cao Pi is at most to learn from Cao Cao, and support and balance between the Central Plains family and the Hebei family.

Now, if Cao Pi really wants to emulate Shu and adopt that kind of half-baked talent selection method, I am afraid that the Hebei family and the Central Plains family will not agree.

Even if the way of taking people from Shu thieves looks like the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the actual core is still different.

To tell the truth, although the disadvantages of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system are very bad, compared with the previous inspection system in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it has finally improved.

The core of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is actually to let talents do what they can, so that some so-called celebrities who are not worthy of the name, or officials who can only talk empty and ignore the people, can be exposed, and improve the administrative efficiency of the central government.

The most important thing is that for the first time, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has clarified the selection criteria for officials, and it is no longer the same as the previous official selection system, and the quality of officials depends on the mouth of their peers.

Today's Cao Pi, and even later Cao Rong, actually has a good control over the central court, and the control of Zhongzheng at all levels and Dazhongzheng is also very effective, and the talent selection system is quite fair, and this nine-product Zhongzheng system has not run crooked. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system really began to run crookedly, or when Cao Shuang was in power, the cronyism fooled around, so that the families could see that this system could also become a tool for their own personal gain.

Then this nine-product zhongzheng system was completely crooked.

At least for now, this nine-product zhongzheng system is still very much in line with the actual situation of Dawei now, and it can also select effective talents for Dawei.

In Cao Pi's view, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system also has its own set of selection criteria, but this set of standards is in the hands of the family, if you learn the selection method of Shu thieves, it is equivalent to using an examination method to raise this set of selection standards to the emperor himself.

Although this can effectively strengthen the imperial power and weaken the influence of the family on the power to appoint personnel of the imperial court, on the whole, there is not much difference.

After all, the admission ticket for talent selection is still in the hands of the family, and the selection of Shu thieves cannot be completely separated from the influence of the family.

In this case, there is really no need for Cao Pi to risk offending the family and make similar reforms to the more perfect Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

This is Cao Pi, Sun Zi, and Liu Fang, the two dog-headed military advisors, who discussed and came to a conclusion.

In fact, Cao Pi's consideration was right.

Jiupin Zhongzheng is making a talent selection system for leaving a name in Chinese history, and has been used for more than 600 years, and it is not really useless, at least in this era, the probability of the family producing talents is indeed much higher than that of the poor, not to mention that there is no opportunity to read and write for the common people.

The system is not about who is more advanced, but about who is more suitable.

Even in Ji Han, Liu Bei adopted such a talent selection model, but in fact, he was under a lot of pressure.

After all, it was a strategy that even Pang Tong and Huang Quan were more disgusted with, and Zhuge Liang felt that it was a bit too hasty.

You must know that because of the blind tossing of a certain crossing earth dog, in the ruling area of Ji Han, with the promotion of engraving printing and the popularization of paper, the proportion of reading between the poor and the common people has increased, but it still can't be compared with the families who have been planning for hundreds of years at every turn.

Even Liu Bei can only use the excuse that Guanzhong is tired and there is a lack of talents, so he can only make this decision Yes, Liu Bei said this to Qin Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who arrived in Chang'an.

Qin Mi was on the way, and when he heard about Liu Bei's talent selection method, he was in a hurry, and quickly accelerated his trip and rushed to Chang'an, he must find Liu Bei to make it clear.

Really, if you want to move the capital to Chang'an, we can discuss it again, and this talent selection system can not become the norm.

Qin Mi himself is from a Shuzhong family, and he knows too well where the interests of the family are.

Moving the capital is to affect the interests of the Shuzhong family, this kind of loss, the Shuzhong family does not want to bear, and there will inevitably be a reaction, but more is to make a fuss, let Liu Bei know what everyone thinks, and try to be as thoughtful as possible.

But this talent selection system cannot be changed at will, this is not only a matter of the Shuzhong family, when the time comes, even the Jingzhou family will not sit idly by.

Well, there are also Yongzhou and Liangzhou families, but the families in these two places. In terms of volume, the two states together are not half the size of the Yizhou family, and they are basically negligible.

Qin Mi was really anxious, so he hurried to Chang'an and admonished Liu Bei, and at the same time deliberately played Liu Bei and impeached Huang Quan, Pang Tong, and Zhang Xi.

Qin Mi impeached the three of them without knowing the severity, and at the same time, he was a little out of bounds.

You Huang Quan is a general, Pang Tong is the official in charge of executive supervision in Menxia Province, and Zhang Xi is the official in charge of the selection of scholars in the Ministry of War, so he has a fart relationship with you!!

Talent selection, that is the matter of my Ministry of Rites, if you want to change the talent selection system, this should also be Zhuge Liang of Zhongshu Province and my Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qin Mi discussed, we jointly decide, and then play Your Majesty, Your Majesty personally approved, that is also by the Shangshu Province of the law is responsible for the implementation of the Zhongshu Province, the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Province The three parties did not speak, what are you fooling in? !

Again, this thing you're discussing, is that a system that can be implemented?!

A system, you must ensure that there is a basis for implementation throughout the country, you apply this system to Shuzhong or Jingzhou, you see if those families will incite the people to riot, or even rebel in person.

As a member of the family, Qin Mi is different from Cao Pi in some aspects.

Cao Pi is the Son of Heaven, he cares about the pros and cons of the entire scholar system, and Qin Mi is considering things from the perspective of the family, he will only see the unfavorable side of this system to the family first - this way of taking the exam, although the admission ticket is still in the hands of the family, but the final determination of the talent is in the hands of the emperor.

Not to mention, Liu Bei's Chang'an is a scholar, and there is another one - the scholar can get the examination permit through the recommendation of the state and county officials.

In other words, as long as the central court has enough control over the locality, Liu Bei will find a way to bypass the local family and directly obtain talents.

This is something that the Maisons will never allow.

That is, in Guanzhong, the real large families have been moved away by Cao Wei, and what remains is just some small families that are not in the climate, you can do it temporarily, if you really want to form a system, if you promote it nationwide, it is better to take out the set of things in Ma Tan of Yueshan County, let's discuss it, refine it, maybe there is still the possibility of letting the family accept it.

made such a four-way dislike, and it made the world know and play?!

Qin Mi was rarely so mad, and directly scolded the three powerful figures, but Qin Mi couldn't help it.

On the one hand, this matter is very troublesome, and even Zhuge Liang, who returned to Chengdu to sit in the town, was a little uneasy after hearing about this incident, feeling that this matter was a little too eager, and if it was not good, the situation in Chengdu was not something that he and the 20,000 elites of the Southern Army in his hands could control.

On the other hand, Qin Mi also has her own sense of responsibility.

He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also about to preside over Liu Bei's ancestor worship ceremony, the future of the world's famous scholars, the world's great Confucianism, he can't allow this half-hung system to appear during his tenure.

Can't afford to lose this person.

Under Qin Mi's aggressiveness, coupled with Zhuge Liang's more euphemistic letter of persuasion, Liu Bei had to make concessions and told Qin Mi that this was just a helpless move, and it was indeed inconsiderate for him to seek talent.

But the edict of the Son of Heaven has been issued, and this matter is known to the whole world, if you regret it, it will make the world laugh at it, it is better to just do it once, and not take it as an example.

In fact, what Qin Mi wanted, that is, this "not an example".

There is no way, Qin Mi needs Liu Bei to give himself an explanation, and he also needs Liu Bei to give an explanation to the families in Shuzhong and Jingzhou, and he can't destroy the existing way of distributing interests.

And Liu Bei's face, everyone is still selling, this matter has already been announced to the world, and it is not practical to take it back, it is better to think about remedy.

Let Liu Bei do this first, but after that, we must introduce a talent selection system that can meet the interests of Liu Bei's group and families in various places, and we can't be so confused anymore.

To be honest, these families are still quite afraid of Liu Bei's practice of engaging in a word, and they would even rather compromise on the talent selection system in Yueshan County.

Although they are all exams, but the kind of examination selection in Yueshan County, even if the people who pass the exam, are destined to only become officials, and even adjutant officials cannot be this kind of official, the starting point is too low, and the children of the family are not eye-catching, and it is impossible to be.

Doing so, although it also opened another upward channel for the children of the poor family, relatively speaking, that way is still relatively controllable, and it is much better than what Liu Bei did in Chang'an.

Liu Bei's "Chang'an Scholars", if the children of the poor family really want to produce a talent, then they are not officials, but directly officials, and at least the chief officials of a county.

This opening must not be opened, nor can the imperial power be allowed to grasp the initiative in the selection of talents.
