Liu Jian knew that he couldn't ask anything from Jia Xu's mouth.

But he was able to analyze some practical situations from Jia Xu's words.

Jia Xu is a person like you ask him to say something that may have problems with his own safety, this old guy will definitely take care of the left and right and he will not tell you, but he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he doesn't say anything, but he won't make up nonsense to deceive Liu Jian.

At this point, Liu Jian is still relatively confident in Jia Xu.

Looking at Jia Xu's submissive expression below him, Liu Jian couldn't help but be amused by him.

This old fellow, what do you say about him?

It's clear that he has enough ability, but he just doesn't dare to make a move, but it's normal for you to look at it from his point of view.

In this matter, there is no need for Jia Xu to offend the wealthy families of Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang.

You really made them anxious, he is a Liangzhou scholar, how will he settle down in the court in the future?

Can Liu Jian protect Jia Xu for a lifetime, can he still protect his next generation?

Who knows what the future holds?

Liu Jian didn't force Jia Xu, because he already knew very well in his heart how to deal with this matter, he just called Jia Xu over, thinking about confirming with him again to see if the two of them had the same attitude towards this matter, and it turned out that the points that Jia Xu saw were the same as those seen by Liu Jian.

There may be obstacles in the implementation of these new policies, including tax reform, but the real key issue is the appointment of personnel.

These families may be able to accept the loss of their economic interests from the new policy of the imperial court, but no one is willing to bear the loss of personnel interests, especially Yuan Shao has been accustomed to them for so many years.

The list presented to him by Xun Yu and Xun You obviously represents the close interests and nepotism of the Yingchuan clan.

But do you say that the Xun family is to blame for this?

Actually, after all, these people are indeed talents for the country.

The scholars of Yingchuan have received the highest education, and they are passed down from generation to generation, even if the Han Dynasty is now studying in various places, and the state universities in various states have cultivated countless talents for the country every year, but in terms of heritage, they are still far from these scholar families for the time being.

Accumulation, sometimes, is very important indeed.

Liu Jian knows that at this time period, it is indeed beneficial to the development of the country to promote these talents recommended by the Xun family, but with the passage of time, it is not necessarily.

Isn't that the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

The members of the scholar family entered the court as officials, and at first they were dedicated to the development of the country, but with the inheritance of generation after generation, the power of the individual family snowballed bigger and bigger, and finally formed a huge power group that was enough to compete with the country and had the ability to subvert the country.

In fact, since Liu Jian began to implement the imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, this risk has been much smaller, at least the rise of the imperial examination system can prevent local families from using the inspection system to monopolize the promotion channels of the Han Dynasty.

But this does not mean that the imperial examination can sever the ties between the major families of the Han Dynasty.

The biggest problem is still in the expropriation system.

Liu Jian now pushed the imperial examination into the imperial court, but the conquest in the inspection system still existed in the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that now is a period of coexistence between the imperial examination and the probationary system.

Because the imperial examination system has not been established for a few years, first of all, the system is not perfect, in one, according to the current county and county official positions in the Han Dynasty, the officials produced by the imperial examination system can only be satisfied with a certain position, but many positions are the students of the imperial examination system disdain to do, and at the same time, they cannot be concurrent, so many officials in the official office still have to rely on officials to enrich the grassroots government offices through local recruitment.

Liu Jian also thought about canceling the expedition completely and slowly, but this situation is not good at the moment.

After all, there are still enemies in the south, and the personnel change in the central system requires a gradual process.

The state is a huge operating machine, and it is impossible to stop and adjust, and it is necessary to make adjustments while ensuring operation, and gradually get on the right track.

Therefore, to completely abolish the requisition, it is still a little too early for the current Liu Jian.

In Liu Jian's heart, at least he had to wait until the world was completely unified, and he completely freed up his hands to refine the official positions in the Han Dynasty and rectify internal affairs.

However, for Liu Jian, now the three dukes in the imperial court have been abolished by him, and other important positions are gradually being replaced with the rise of the imperial examination system, but these talents produced by the imperial examination still have families behind them.

With the rise of Liu Jian's imperial examination system, these families will also use means to expand their power and influence, and it is even possible that on the day of Liu Jian's death in the future, they will also find ways to make Liu Jian's imperial examination empty talk and force history to progress.

However, in response to this, Liu Jian has also begun to find a way to resolve it.

Printing, papermaking, and the popularization of schools at all levels are the best means to destroy these large clans of scholars in the Han Dynasty!

The widespread spread of knowledge can wipe out their advantage and reduce the threat to zero.

But it takes time.

And now this pass is the pass where Liu Jian and the local scholars are rushing for time.

Originally Hebei, then Sanhe, Guanzhong, and now to Nanyang and Yingchuan and other places, with the increase of Liu Jian's territory, more and more scholars came to his jurisdiction, Liu Jian could not always use high-pressure means to balance them.

Before the effects of papermaking, printing, imperial examinations, state universities and other means are fully revealed, Liu Jian still needs to fight with them for a while.

According to Liu Jian's estimates, it should be the exhaustion of the lives of his generation, and there will be almost great results.

"Wenhe." Liu Jian suddenly opened his mouth.

Jia Xu's spirit suddenly perked up: "What does the prime minister command?" ”

"Nanyang, Runan, Yingchuan and other places, in addition to the relationship between the major families, you will immediately have a certain foundation of small and medium-sized heroes...... Or, even the list of the families whose ancestors were eunuchs and the relationship between them will be sorted out for me. ”

Jia Xu is a smart person, and as soon as Liu Jian opened his mouth, he knew what Liu Jian was going to do.

Jia Xu secretly said in his heart: The prime minister is really not an equal idler!

"Don't worry, the prime minister will definitely get this matter done as quickly as possible."

"Okay, let's go."

"Whoa!"

……

……

After occupying Nanyang County and Yingchuan, Runan, Liu Jian sent people from Chang'an to transfer two people who had just passed the imperial examination and had excellent grades to his army.

These two people are none other than his eldest son Liu Ji and his righteous son Yuan Chong.

Back then, the two who were still children have now grown into young men, and at the same time, under the guidance of famous teachers, they have also passed the imperial examination one by one over the years, and have become preparatory talents in the court.

And in order to train these two children, Liu Jian also let them enter the Xiangfu, and at the same time came to his side for training.

After the two young men saw Liu Jian, they were overjoyed.

I don't know how many years ago, the biggest wish in their hearts was to follow Liu Jian's side and make contributions.

"Congratulations to my father, I have taken Nanyang County and the land of Yuzhou, and I can govern the world from now on!"

Liu Jian waved his hand lightly and said: "A little land, why worry about it, for me, this world is finally in my pocket, it is already inevitable, but the key is how to govern this world, now Yuzhou and Nanyang counties are a difficult bone to gnaw, but for you, it is also a place of trial, I don't know if the two of you are ambitious?" ”

For Liu Ji and Yuan Pet, this has always been what they have dreamed of.

"If the father is willing to trust us, the child should share his father's worries!"

"For the sake of the big man, although the children are full of liver and brains, they will not give up!"

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction and said: "The qualifications of the two of you are still shallow, and I can't arrange for us to be the Taishou of the big county, or the post of the county prince, but I have decided to appoint the two of you as Cao Peng of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and to do pacification in the local area on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in addition, you can pray for the edict of the Son of Heaven, so that the two of you can represent the imperial court and fully implement the new policy in Nanyang County and Yuzhou." ”

"There is a lot of responsibility in this, and at the same time, it will offend a lot of people, and it will also fight wits and courage, think you all know this in your hearts, right?"

The two children immediately said yes.

Later, Liu Jian said: "I will give you five days to sort out a plan on how to implement the new policy in Nanyang County and Yuzhou, and then submit it to me, and I will give you a check." ”

Liu Ji immediately said: "Father, in fact, before the child and Ah Pet came to Wancheng, they had already discussed this matter, how to implement the new policy in Nanyang County, and the two of us also probably drafted regulations, please take a look at it." ”

Liu Jian was very relieved to hear that these two children were on the way to Wancheng, and they had made plans for how to implement the new policy in the local area.

"It seems that your mother has educated you very well."

"Come, tell me what you think."

Yuan Pet immediately took out a silk silk from his sleeve, on which there were items listed on how to implement the new policy, and it was obvious that each item was carefully planned and planned in detail by two people.

Liu Jian listened one after another, and then told them what he thought the two children were still shallow.

The two children took it seriously.

In the end, Yuan Pet said to Liu Jian: "Father, the implementation of the new policy in Nanyang and other places, I think about it with Aji, and I think that the key issue is still in the appointment of all the people in the clan headed by the Xun family, Xun Lingjun is now sitting in the court instead of his father, and he has made great contributions over the years, although he is dedicated to the sake of his father's foundation, but if he recommends the sages of Yingchuan, I am afraid that he will inevitably consider the interests of his family." ”

"I'm afraid that if the sages of Yingchuan and Nanyang are appointed too much, after many years, I am afraid that it will cause trouble."

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "It's rare that you can still see through this." ”

"In that case, have you ever thought about what should be used for the personnel appointment of Nanyang County?"

Liu Ji said: "Back to his father's words, the child feels that since the imperial court is now implementing the imperial examination system, the main officials in Yuzhou and the big counties should still be appointed with the talents selected by the imperial examination, rather than just following Xun Lingjun's recommendation, after all, my father also said back then that the establishment of the country should be based on the law!" ”

Liu Jian nodded and said: "The high positions in the county should be arranged like this, but the imperial examination is selected, but the officials, what about the ordinary officials in the county?" I'm afraid that there are no less than hundreds, do you have to choose from the people of the imperial examination? And will the elected officials have the ability to suppress the native nobles without forming a party with them? ”

When Liu Ji heard this, he was stunned.

"This ......"

"Please ask my father for advice."

"Ji'er, darling, you can see so far-reaching, and you are very relieved for your father, but you can't be in a hurry, just as Yuzhou and Nanyang County are concerned, the threat to the future of the scholars is greater than that of Haoqiang."

"Remember, you can't deal with an interest group by yourself or a government decree, and if you don't have helpers, do you want to duel with a group of them with a knife? Therefore, you must have a helper, and this helper, not to mention how strong, must at least have the strength to fight with the scholars. ”

The two children seem to have a slight understanding.

"For my father, I ask you, for the moment, who can you find as helpers in Nanyang and Yuzhou?"

Yuan Pet said: "There is no background in scripture, but there is a strong and cold family in the clan who can read and break sentences!" ”

At this point, Liu Jian was deeply comforted.

"That's right, these are the people!"

"Nanyang County and Yuzhou Yuan Shao have been in charge for many years, and the interest groups have formed a scale, and it is not enough to rely on the imperial decree alone! The local Li Shu is illiterate, not a climate, it is impossible to become your help, even if you have the heart is powerless, so the current personnel problems, we need to vigorously promote the Hanmen, as long as we can implement the policy of land and taxation to the end, Haoqiang Hanmen is not our enemy, but our help! ”

Liu Ji's face showed excitement, and he seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once.

"The talents recommended by Xun Lingjun, we want to use them, but we can't use them all, and Nanyang County and Yuzhou have been suppressed for many years over the years, and we must also use them, and we must vigorously support them, so that the talents recommended by Xun Lingjun can be used by us, and the heroes of the poor families can break their chain of interests!"

Liu Jiandao:

"It is precisely like this, to reform the new policy, you need to work slowly and carefully, if a decree involves too many people, you can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot, remember that to do one thing well, you must unite the majority, strike at the small part, do your best, win over the objects that can be co-opted, and reduce the enemy's counterattack to the minimum."

"Remember, both of you, to constantly unite the objects you can unite, destroy your enemies little by little, and accumulate them with continuous small phased victories, so as to obtain the final fundamental victory!"

"The root of Wang Mang's failure lies in his eagerness for quick success and quick profit, and he doesn't know how to be flexible."

Yuan Pet nodded again and again, then thought for a moment, and asked:

"Father, the child still has an idea, the personnel appointments in Nanyang and Yuzhou, some of the people recommended by Xun Gong, and some of the people who use the poor family, but among the people recommended by Xun Gong, they can still be divided in the future!"

Liu Jian looked at Yuan Pet with satisfaction and nodded and smiled.

"My son is really mature, you think well, even in the group of scholars, there are exists that can be used, I think Xu Yu is quite suitable."

"Xu Yu is greedy, interests can make him crazy, Yuan Shaozhi is stupid, that is, he demands absolute loyalty, but loyalty is unreliable, reliable is the right interests."

"From now on, it is a test for your father, you will use all means to instigate the Xiaoshi clan and the Hanmen Haoqiang to dismember the Dashi clan in Nanyang and Yuzhou, and then turn the spearhead and unite Haoqiang to clean up the Xiaoshi clan with a relatively small number of people."

"You must know that on the political battlefield, different interests are enemies, and we, as the superiors, are enemies in the world, but we have enough interests in our hands, and we can also win over many friends on the political battlefield."

The two narrowed their eyes and slowly pondered the meaning of the sentence.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend...... Therefore, it is necessary to divide the strong and the scholars, win over the strong and strong, and strike at the scholars......"

"That's right, so since my father started the army, he has used the cold family many times to suppress the wang family, and at the same time, he has to deliberately create a contradiction between the scholar and the strong, so that the strong and the scholar are opposed."

"But this is a long-term plan, a century-old national policy, and it needs to be extended even to your generation."

"Next, this south is your brother's stage, let it go! When it is done, you are qualified to take over the father's class! ”
