1256, the excited Cao Cao
"No." Xun You shook his head.
He was in a high position under Liu Zhe's command, and his family also rose. Unless he was brainless, the Xun family would move out of Youzhou.
"Isn't that enough?"
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "As long as you wait for your family, what am I afraid of?"
Liu Zhe’s idea is very simple. In this era, it is impossible to leave the big family, so just suppress and win over a group of people, and then take loyal subordinates as the core.
"Your Xun family doesn't know, and others don't know. With you here, what else am I worried about?" Liu Zhe said.
"Lord..." Xun You said excitedly.
"but."
Xun You was still worried and said, "These families left, and their subordinates were worried that the government was not enough."
"Also, my subordinates are afraid that other families will use this to threaten their lords. Once they recall the people of the tribe, my subordinates are worried that their governance will be paralyzed."
"Well, this is also a problem." Liu Zhe nodded, but he did not show any concern, with a confident expression.
"Lord, do you have a way?" Xun You asked anxiously.
"You forgot?"
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "I plan to implement the imperial examination system in Bingzhou in Jizhou."
The imperial examination system was first implemented in Bingzhou, and a large number of poor scholars passed the exam and entered the officialdom, which greatly damaged the strength of the Bingzhou family.
"this…"
Xun You immediately stood up and looked at Liu Zhe in surprise. Of course, while being surprised, he also had deep admiration.
"Of course, I will not abolish the recommendation system in Jizhou for the time being. The recommendation system and the imperial examination system are implemented together."
Liu Zhe smiled slightly and said, "If anyone dares to make trouble again, he will not enter the official career in the future."
"I understand." Xun You replied excitedly.
With Liu Zhe's move, even if other families leave, there is no need to worry about insufficient staff at the bottom. If other families want to cause trouble, they have to think about the future of their own children.
Once the trouble is caused, Liu Zhe will abolish the recommendation system and have to compete with poor scholars, which will undoubtedly be a huge blow to these families.
What happened in Yecheng naturally could not hide from Cao Cao, who was separated by a river. Moreover, because of his importance to Liu Zhe, Cao Cao placed much more eyeliners on Liu Zhe's territory than other princes. Cao Cao received all the things Liu Zhe did in Jizhou.
"Ha, Liu Zhe is seeking death."
After Cao Cao received the news, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and was very happy.
He knew that many families in Jizhou wanted to move their families to his territory, and Cao Cao was so smiling that his eyes were almost gone. Because of Cao Cao's happiness, everyone in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was very happy during this period.
"Prime Minister, what are the happy events?" Sima Lang asked curiously when he saw Cao Cao so happy.
"Well, Boda, you also saw the news that came from the north, so you still need to ask the orphan?"
Cao Cao was happy, laughed and didn't say it directly. He thought Sima Lang knew it too.
Cao Cao's actions confused Sima Lang, but he did not dare to ask again, for fear that Cao Cao would mistakenly think that he was not smart enough.
But he didn't know what Cao Cao meant by seeking death, so when he went home in the evening, he found Sima Yi and told the question.
"Brother."
After hearing this, Sima Yi immediately realized it. He smiled and said, "Why is the Prime Minister happy, don't you understand?"
Sima Lang shook his head. He didn't need to hide it in front of Sima Yi. He said, "The Prime Minister was happy for this time. I know the reason is because of what Liu Zhe did in Jizhou. But I don't understand what the Prime Minister said that Liu Zhe is seeking death. It is true that Liu Zhe's actions will damage his reputation and strength, but he will not seek death, right?"
"Brother, have you forgotten what's behind us?" Sima Yi smiled slightly and said.
"What is it?" Although Sima Lang was smart, he was still a little worse than Sima Yi.
"Family." Sima Yi said lightly.
"Family?" After hearing this, Sima Lang thought, and seemed to begin to understand.
"Since Guangwu founded the country, the power of the family is indispensable. Once the family's support is lost, the court will begin to collapse."
Sima Yi said: "What Liu Zhe is doing now is to break up with the aristocratic family, and he is to force them to rebel."
"Oh, I understand." Sima Lang is also a member of the big family, with extraordinary talent, and Sima Yi immediately understood.
"In the future, Liu Zhe will lose the trust of these families. Wouldn't the Prime Minister recover Hebei?" Sima Lang said excitedly.
“It’s not that easy.”
Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Liu Zhe is very powerful, and it is not easy to defeat him and recover Hebei. However, if Liu Zhe continues like this, the chances of the prime minister will increase greatly."
The next day, Sima Lang continued to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to work as usual, but today he was called by Cao Cao when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Berda."
Cao Cao said: "The Chenggao County Magistrate has always been vacant. I want to let you be the Chenggao Order, how about it?"
Chenggao is in Henan Yin and belongs to the front line, which can be said to be quite dangerous. However, Cao Cao is willing to send him out to serve as the leader of a city, which can be said to be reusing him.
"I am willing." Sima Lang was happy and agreed.
