Liu Bian's harem is actually not without people, at the beginning of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Liu Bian's harem had a concubine.

It's just that in the past few years, there have been no heirs, so Wang Yun thought about providing some maids to the Son of Heaven, and if he flew on the branches, he could also blow some pillow wind for the Son of Heaven.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Lin Mu hadn't thought about these at all.

As for Diao Chan, Lin Mu didn't think about accepting it at all, Wang Yun was the representative of the family.

Although it seems that it is not as good as before, the Lang Evil King Clan, where it is located, is also a well-known family.

He offered the sable cicada, just to be soft on the woods.

Lin Mu accepted it, that is, he accepted the investment of those big families, but how could this be accepted?

If these families are allowed to monopolize in this way, the situation that there will be no poor family in the upper grades and no families in the lower grades will come in advance.

Even if a commodity is monopolized, then others will have to pay a greater price if they want to enjoy it, let alone an official of the state?

These families will be monopolized by the rising channels, and the harm of this is extremely huge.

Even if these families compromise with Lin Mu now and let go of the upward channel, but what about the future?

The family is not a single person, it is formed by a group of people.

When it is just one person, this person will do things that go against his class because of various emotional concerns.

But when a group of people is in a group, the influence they can be on is drastically reduced to do what is most beneficial to the class.

The individual is sentient, but the class as a whole is merciless.

It's like those families, do they want to be loyal ministers?

Think!

When they knew what Lin Mu was going to do, even if they wanted to be loyal ministers, they had to think about it.

When the time comes, they will hand over their family interests, and everyone will become a small family.

What if other families don't pay?

What if one day dies?

At that time, they will be no different from civilians, while the other families are still families, and they will never have a chance to turn over, and after a generation or two, they will be completely reduced to commoners.

Don't think that this kind of thing is rare, this is not the afterlife.

In an era when carbuncles and colds can kill people, many reforms are people's deaths.

What's more, at this time in the late Han Dynasty, plus the Son of Heaven is still a Son of Heaven, the chance of death is too great, how dare they bet?

What's more, now the court is like this because of Lin Mu, and the opposition of families everywhere is also Lin Mu, the emperor.

If Lin Mu died, they would still be rebellious thieves one moment, and the next moment they could wave their flags and shout for the Han.

As long as the new emperor is willing to defend them, they are the most loyal courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

But if it violates their interests, it will be embarrassing.

Zi said: The king regards the minister as a sibling, the minister regards the king as the heart, the king regards the minister as a dog and a horse, the minister regards the king as a countryman, the monarch regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as Kou Yun.

Lin Mu didn't say much, just waved his hand and motioned for Wang Yun to retreat.

Seeing that Lin Mu did not agree, Wang Yun could only retire and leave with some disappointment.

It's just that Lin Mu was a little surprised why this Wang Yun suddenly came to show favor at this time.

Just after Wang Yun left, Min Gong came to the study and handed a letter to Lin Mu.

After Lin Mu opened it, he nodded and understood why Wang Yun came.

…………

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Thus began the first scientific expedition, and a large number of people entered the special examination house.

It's a day here, and because it's the first time to take the exam, it's not too comprehensive.

It's just three policy theories, and one article is counted together.

After passing the test, the candidate's name will be pasted with stickers by the people in the examination room.

The judge has no idea who these papers belong to, and he can also prevent some of the cheating.

The various test questions are first selected by the judge, and the outstanding articles are handed to the next level.

These judges were made up of officials from the imperial court.

Among them, there are Zhu Jun, Liu Bei and others to judge the papers, and when these test papers are judged, they will be randomly checked among the test papers that have been auditioned.

In case a judge deliberately selects a talented person because he doesn't like it.

After five days, the selected test papers are handed to the Son of Heaven for personal inspection.

After reviewing the test papers, post the names of the selected people.

In this first scientific expedition, the imperial court selected more than 300 people, and it is worth mentioning that several of these names made Lin Mu very familiar.

Hundreds of officials in the main hall congratulated these new officials, which was an honor specially arranged by Lin Mu for these people.

The popularity of the person standing at the top of these teams is extraordinary, and just by looking at it, it can be seen that this is a child of the family.

This person is Xun You, Xun You's word Gongda, the Xun family of Yingchuan family.

is also Xun Yu's nephew, and it can be said that he is a complete son of a family.

The reason why Lin Mu chose Xun Yu is because Xun Yu's resourcefulness is also outstanding, in Cao Cao's evaluation, Xun Yu is second only to Xun Yu, you must know that Xun Yu is known as Wang Zuozhicai.

But now Xun You came to Beijing alone, which shows that Xun You did not come with the sincerity of the Xun family, but just a kind of diversified investment of the Xun family.

For example, there are only a few powerful ones today, and although the imperial court occupies the land of Sanzhou, it is really nothing in terms of strength.

One of these three states is the remote and impoverished Liangzhou, the other is the almost subordinate who was almost in trouble, and the other is Yongzhou, which was looted in turn.

It may seem like a large area, but in fact, the combined population is less than 1.5 million.

In the early period of the Later Han Dynasty (157), the population was originally more than 56 million, but since the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, coupled with years of famine and war, the population is now only more than 23 million.

In less than 30 years, the population has more than halved.

In Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, although they did not encounter any large-scale Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many military disasters that should have been suffered.

Now that these people can be left, it is still Lin Mu who deducted from the mouths of those families.

Therefore, although the imperial court seems to have a large territory, it is basically useless.

But there is only one condition that the imperial court does not have in other families, and that is orthodoxy.

Although other princes could rebel against the court in the name of the Qing monarch, they could not directly rebel against the Han Dynasty.

They can only kill the traitors around the Son of Heaven, and become a prime minister or something, even so, he is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

This may be a great threat to other Heavenly Sons, but it is nothing to the forest at all.

If they are willing to come to Beijing, Lin Mu doesn't mind giving one of them a prime minister.

Although these families are not optimistic about the court, they still found someone in the family to come to the court to diversify their investments, and they are really loyal ministers of the Han family.

And the other one is someone Lin Mu didn't expect at all.

This person is Xu Shu.
