Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiong suddenly paused, and then said meaningfully:

"However, these are not the real reasons why the royal family has made the Guofu Academy a big family. ”

Hearing his cheap grandfather's words, Shangguan Qiuyu asked thoughtfully:

"Grandpa means that the Guofu Academy has today's momentum because the royal family intentionally?"

Shangguan Xiong nodded and asked again:

"What is Yu'er?"

Seeing that his cheap grandfather intended to take the school exam, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.

Thinking of the Dayu Dynasty, the civil official system was almost monopolized by students from the National Academy.

Shangguan Qiuyu also had a trace of jealousy in his heart.

Although this world respects martial arts, for a country and a force, literati are also indispensable.

The territory of the Dayu Dynasty is vast, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people need the guidance of literati and the need for literati to govern the place.

These cannot be solved by force and fists alone, so no force will underestimate the role played by literati in it.

However, this is just to make Shangguan Qiuyu a little jealous, if you want Shangguan Qiuyu to compromise with it just by relying on this, it is impossible.

You must know that the Shangguan family is different from other forces, except for the Shangguan family, the other seven families each have their own fiefs and private soldiers.

If there is a fief, it naturally needs to be governed by literati, and the people of the fief are the foundation for the eight major families.

How can their own inheritance be governed by outsiders?

Therefore, there are almost no scholars from the National Academy in the fiefdoms of the eight major families, and they all have special talents for cultivating their own families.

Especially like the Shangguan family, the land enclosed by the royal family directly exceeds the Banzhou region, and such a large territory requires many civil and military officials.

In this way, the Shangguan family naturally cultivates the most talents, and these talents are cultivated by the Shangguan family.

They know better how to govern the local government than the local officials.

Because the Shangguan family cultivated them, in order to let them govern the people of the fiefdom, the first thing to pay attention to is hard work, not those children of the family who can only talk about it.

If the Shangguan family is willing, even if more than half of the officials in the five states of southern Xinjiang are all dismissed, the Shangguan family will be able to make up enough talents to replace them.

This is the potential heritage of the Shangguan family, not only the Shangguan family, but also the remaining seven families.

As soon as he thought of this, Shangguan Qiuyu's heart suddenly popped up with the words 'gate valve' and 'family'.

Shangguan Xiong, who was sitting on it, knew that he understood when he saw his grandson's expression, and then showed a satisfied smile.

Thinking of the previous dynasties and generations, the real reason why most dynasties finally perished was because of the burden of the family.

In troubled times, one of the main reasons is that the people in various places do not have enough to eat, and finally the poor people have to rise up to resist in order to survive.

In addition to natural and man-made disasters, the main reason why the people do not have enough to eat is because the land in the world is occupied by local powerful and powerful families.

As a result, the people have no land to cultivate, no food to feed their hunger, and no foundation for survival.

Therefore, whenever the world is in turmoil at the end of the dynasty, the family has an unshirkable responsibility.

However, although the family is powerful, it is far worse than the gate valve of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although the family is powerful, its own strength is limited, and generally a stronger king, even if the family is strong, as long as the dynasty has not perished.

Then the emperor can still order you to be beheaded with a word.

However, the gate valve is different, the gate valve has soldiers, power and talents, and they can overthrow the imperial court and stand on their own, and they can support the army and respect themselves when they retreat, so that the imperial court does not dare to attack it easily.

Today's eight hereditary state families, they have their own fiefs, strong private soldiers who defend their fiefs, and various talents who govern their fiefs.

They are even more powerful than the gate lords of the Huaxia period, and the only thing to be thankful for is that the power of the warriors in this world is beyond people's imagination.

The power of the sect is strong enough to compete with the imperial court, so the problems between the royal family and the gate valve are not too prominent.

However, the fact that it is not highlighted is not to say that there is no such problem.

It's just that this problem is masked by a larger problem, so that people deliberately and selectively forget.

However, others can forget, or even pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the royal family that dominates the world cannot forget.

Although the Eight Great Families are in the same breath as the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family cannot ignore the powerful power of the Eight Great Families.

The emperor's mental trick is intended to balance the forces of the left and right, so as to make oneself detached from the outside and suppress each other's strengths.

Part of the reason why the royal family appoints the students of the National Academy as officials is to check and balance the eight major families.

With the students of the Guofu Academy filling into the middle and lower levels of the court, in this way, even if the eight major families control the court, they must obediently obey the orders of the royal family.

Thinking of this, the doubts in Shangguan Qiuyu's heart disappeared in an instant, and they were replaced by a clearer and clearer view of the problem.

At this time, Shangguan Qiuyu finally understood why the major families, including the royal family, sent their own disciples to enter the Guofu Academy.

This is the last compromise made by the various forces in the face of the increasingly powerful sect forces.

Although there is a bit of a taste of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, it is eaten by the National Academy and even the royal family.

This not only avoids the contradictions between the eight major families and the local families, but also indirectly reduces the influence of the National Academy on the royal family.

Think of the children of those families who came from big families, although they were students of the National Academy.

However, they also have family forces standing behind them, so for the sake of the family, it is impossible for them to act according to the will of the academy in everything.

This also inhibited the control of the Imperial Dynasty by the National Academy.

However, in any case, behind the whole thing in the end, the biggest profit is still Guofu College.

Seeing that his grandson understood thoroughly, Shangguan Xiong spoke:

"The Extraterritorial Heavenly Gate is about to open, if the surviving ancient sects inside are powerful, how can the Guofu Academy stay out of the matter.

You must know that not only is the imperial court not allowed by those sect forces, but also the Guofu Academy is not allowed to be seen by those sect disciples who think highly of themselves. ”

In this regard, Shangguan Qiuyu nodded, his heart was much more relaxed, and then said:

"Sun Er understands that in the face of the power of the sect, it is not the royal family that the Guofu Academy wants to help, but themselves. ”

"Yes, it's themselves, survival and death. ”

As he spoke, Shangguan Xiong's tone carried a hint of admonition.

I want to tell my grandson, don't forget the truth of survival and death, if Dayu is finished, no matter how strong the Shangguan family is, it will not be able to compete with the power of the sect alone.
