Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lawful Division, Rebellion is Justified
Luoyang
In a manor on the outskirts of the city, the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Xun family, the Zhong family, and the Chen family......
The patriarch or young patriarch of the family has come here, and the content of today's meeting will determine the next trend of the entire world, because the combination of these people here is enough to influence the development of the imperial court.
If they were really united, then they could instantly overthrow the Emperor of the Liu family in the imperial city. However, this is almost impossible, even if it was the disaster of the party back then, I did not see the family so united.
And today is just a superficial unity to deal with Great Qin together.
Zongzheng Liu Yan sat in the first place to preside over the meeting, he represents the countless people surnamed Liu and Emperor Ling in the world, and the pure power is naturally the strongest in the world, even if the so-called Yuan family and Yang family are combined, they are not as strong as the Liu family.
"Everyone, you might as well take a look at the pseudo-Qin's approach first. β
One document after another appeared in the hands of the heads of the families, although these families had their own intelligence channels and collected a lot of information about Daqin, but compared to the imperial court, it was still a lot.
"Isn't this imperial examination system better for us?" said a certain head of the family suddenly.
In the past, the families relied on marriages and networks all over the world to decide who could and could not become filial piety, and at the same time, they also controlled the whole world through recommendations and protΓ©gΓ©s.
This approach can't be said to be bad, but at least it's not good in reputation.
Many people always feel that they are very capable, and the reason why they can't be officials is not because they have no ability, but because they are not from a family.
But they don't want to think about it, why do you compete with the family son for personal skills? What kind of education did the family son receive since childhood, what about you?
You have a hard time even reading books, but the family can easily read hundreds of books. It is difficult for you to leave your hometown for a hundred miles, but the family can easily travel all over the country, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat a meal of meat, but the family can easily eat meat and exercise every day.
Even if you have a little bit of psychology, you won't complain, but the most number in this world is the mud legs who feel good about themselves......
"With this law, even if it is a public imperial examination and an official with a high score, we can occupy more than ninety percent, and others will have nothing to say. β
In this era, the poor look down on books and have no channels to learn.
If in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, when the imperial examination was flourishing, there were private schools everywhere in the countryside, as long as you are willing to work hard, at least you still have the opportunity to learn, but in Dahan, you can't find the opportunity to learn even if you work hard.
It is even conceivable that once the imperial examination system is really spread all over the world, the monopoly of knowledge by the families will definitely go to a higher level!
"Ahem, have you carefully observed this document in our hands? The same writing structure on it is exactly the same size, what does this mean?"
Huh, really?
The other family heads re-certified and observed, and then nodded, they also realized the seriousness of the problem, which showed that Dahan, no, Daqin had already mastered this method of large-scale printing.
"Well, it's like a seal, it's exactly the same. β
"This is block printing, movable type printing, these two printing techniques plus papermaking can easily produce thousands of identical books, this is a grand event of cultural and educational prosperity. β
But it is also the scene that the family most does not want to see, papermaking with printing, books are worthless, and it is difficult to continue to monopolize, because printing is really not difficult in terms of technology, just find a stonemason, you can complete the engraving, even if the stonemason himself is illiterate!
After realizing this scene, the faces of the heads of the family are not good-looking, whether it is the elite or the straw bale, their position is the same, they are the ruling class of the Han Dynasty, for them, the world will never change, and it is best to maintain the status quo.
If it is to change, it must also change in the direction that is beneficial to them, but now it seems that this imperial examination system is a super poison with a bright surface.
Flipping through the pages one by one, the heads of the family soon saw the piece of military merit, and the word tyranny blurted out in an instant, what noble do the families rely on? Is it by force? Of course not, they rely on knowledge and inheritance!
If there is a military meritorious lord, and everyone in the whole world is proud of fighting a war, how can the families still publicize themselves, boast about themselves, and praise each other? Will they all have to go to the battlefield once before they praise each other in the future?
Half an hour later, the heads of the family watched the changes in Jizhou, and they had everything in their hearts, but their expressions on the surface were the same, and they were all silent.
Those who want to take refuge in Daqin remain silent, afraid that others will see their thoughts, and then they will not be able to get out of this gate.
Those who want to support the Han Dynasty and are willing to take out more manpower and food to support the imperial court are even more reluctant to show a trace of expression at this moment. Even if Lao Tzu is willing to support the imperial court, your imperial court will have to give some benefits?
Needless to say, which one is more valued than the one that was given to others on the pole or the one that others begged for?
Smack
Clapping his hands, Liu Yan pointed to a family beside him: "This is Wei Zhongdao, the sister-in-law of the Hedong Wei family, now I will ask Zhong Dao's nephew to talk about the experience of the Wei family." β
At this moment, Wei Zhongdao was completely devoid, looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was pale, and after Liu Yan finished speaking, he slowly raised his head, and then took off his shirt with a brush, revealing his chest.
"Yikes!"
"This scar looks fresh, it's still on the chest, who made it?"
"It looks like a knife wound, this one is really ruthless. β
"It seems that Zhong Daoxian's nephew is lucky, and his heart is different from ordinary people, otherwise this knife will be difficult to save even if the gods go down. β
"Uncles and uncles, you are polite. β
After bowing, Wei Zhongdao began to sell miserably, in fact, it was not miserable, because the Wei family was really miserable: "My Wei family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and I dare not say how much great work I have made for the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, but it is no problem to work hard to guard Hedong and protect the health of the people." β
"On weekdays, I build bridges and repair roads, be kind to people, and the entire Hedong Whenever I mention my Wei family, there is no one who does not praise it, but this time I met the violent Qin! The violent Qin directly used their Qin method to judge the Wei family, saying that the Wei family careless of human life, one thing on the surface, one thing is actually the other, I don't know how many people have been killed, this is pure slander!"
When he said the word slander, Wei Zhongdao looked extremely sad and indignant, and the tears of grievance were about to fall, he took out his sleeve and rubbed it against his eyes, smelling the pungent smell, and the tears really flowed.
Looking at this scene, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they all pretend to be sad, angry, attentive, and serious on the surface. The Wei family is so miserable, you still laugh at him to his face, he is too unpersonal, right?
"As a result, there are hundreds of people in my Wei family, and no one is innocent! From the 80-year-old old lady to the newborn child, all of them are guilty!"
"All sons-in-law, but all who do not admit their sins and do not surrender must be put to death, and even if they confess, they must be reduced to slavery, at best, they will only survive. β
"The old lady died in the process of resisting, the uncles and uncles died, the father also died, the mother committed suicide, the sister was reduced to slavery, I fled all the way, and in the end I was also stabbed, if it wasn't for my luck, I wouldn't have come here at all. β
Hedong Wei's house is over!
Such a powerful Wei family, that's it!
The Wei family, which was once extremely beautiful and powerful, with tens of thousands of tenants and thousands of private soldiers and nearly one million acres of land, is over!
"The Bohai Gao clan is finished, and the Hedong Wei family is also finished, this pseudo-Qin really doesn't take our family seriously!"
At this moment, many family heads were angry, because they couldn't see Daqin's path clearly, and they dared not want the family, not just talking about it, Daqin really did it!
Do you know the power of the Maison?
How do you govern such a big country without relying on us?
The imperial examination system, papermaking, printing, after thinking of these three words, the hearts of the heads of the family are like being poured a scoop of cold water from the head, and their hearts are cold!
Could it be that the era of the family has passed like this?
No way!
Absolutely not!
"I, the Chen family, am willing to send 1,000 private soldiers and 50,000 stone of grain to support the imperial court to quell the rebellion. β
"The Zhong family is willing to send 1,000 private soldiers and 30,000 stone of grain!"
"The Yuan family is willing to send 3,000 private soldiers and 100,000 stone of food!"
"The Yang family is willing to send 4,000 private soldiers and 80,000 stone of grain!"
A head of the family said on the spot, there are thousands of private soldiers, and there are hundreds of private soldiers who have tens of thousands of stone of grain, and there are 100,000 private soldiers and millions of stone of grain together.
The physical fitness of these private soldiers is excellent, the average level is the level of 30 pounds of muscle, and they all have a good personal foundation, and they will be trained strictly in military for only one month, and they will be an elite soldier who can go to the battlefield.
If you take it as the backbone and bring the old with the new, you can easily pull out an army of 300,000 or even 500,000, which seems to be a lot of power, but Liu Yan knows that the families have not come up with a real family background, at least those families with blessed land, what they have taken out is just a drop in the bucket.
Ay!
Suddenly, Liu Yan sighed, Daqin is menacing, but the families here in Dahan still have their own careful thoughts. If it weren't even for Wei Zhongdao's appearance, he wouldn't even be able to come to such a thing now.
"This is His Majesty's edict, and the top one is to allow the local Taishou to take the initiative to recruit troops for self-defense. In the face of the threat of the puppet Qin, the Taishou were allowed to recruit soldiers to train soldiers, make armor, make weapons, and even allow the Taishou to accept all officials under 400 stones, as long as they reported to the imperial court afterwards, and the imperial court would endorse the Taishou and allow them to accept their fate. β
At this moment, the originally noisy quiet room suddenly quieted down, and you could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground, and you could hear the sudden rapid breathing of the housekeepers!
What does this mean?
It means legal secession!
It means that from now on, the place will be completely out of the control of the imperial court!
It means that everyone's opportunity has come!
Perhaps, in the future, our family will also be the emperor's throne!
