Chapter 119: Seven People Talk About the World Simultaneously 21
These aristocratic families also have a very appropriate name called the gate valve
Aristocratic families are the collective name of family and family reading. As the name suggests, they refer to famous families who have been officials for generations. Unlike the elections and appointments in later generations, in Duanye's era, the aristocratic system was the fundamental way to select officials.
It has been said that it has influenced history for hundreds of years. From the Han Dynasty and until the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system was created and the situation was fundamentally reversed. Duan Ye actually believed that the imperial examination was the greatest invention in Chinese history, and later generations
At the turning point, some people who fail to pass the imperial examination and have no ability will wantonly demonize the imperial examination. This is unfair.
In the past, scholars mainly recruited officials through recommendations and recruited officials, and those who were recruited became masters, disciples of the government lords, and old officials. The obvious truth is that they received favors from others, and of course they had to repay them. The biggest officialdom was
The rule is to not owe favors to others, and to repay their disciples if they owe them. For the sake of profit and power, the officials even do not hesitate to flatter and bribe them in order to consolidate the major bureaucrats and their disciples. The officials formed a group to increase their political power.
It's what you need
If this continues, some families of officials and officials will naturally form among the scholars and officials who have been in the past generations. These people are mostly local tyrants, with vast fields and countless property, with strong strength and complex roots. Once they become officials, they will
We can use power to expand wealth and then use wealth to preserve power. In this way, once we become officials, we will basically not step down after we go to power. We will definitely be in a high position in the world, and our disciples and former officials are everywhere.
The disciples and old officials are everywhere in the world. Naturally, these people are the leaders of the literati and officials, and some people take the blame for their achievements. Naturally, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weaker the power, and their power is unshakable, while the common people's children
There is no chance
The court first looks at the clan and family members, so the children of the clan are taking the lead. As usual, the talent and morality are given priority. As long as you are reincarnated, you will have food and officials.
Over time, their power has become so powerful that it is no longer important whether they are in the court. Even if they are in the wild, they can command the world. The relatives and eunuchs in power must connect with them, and deal with the great clans in this state and county.
The power of the country is more monopolized and actually ruled these states and counties
In Cao Pi's era, in exchange for the support of these people, Cao Pi simply adopted the ninth-rank official method suggested by Chen Qun, namely the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, and later the Jin State directly continued this system, but Zhongzheng generally only paid attention to it.
The family background of the assessees rarely pay attention to real talents and cannot play the role of selecting talents. In addition, the clans will certainly not miss such an opportunity and will definitely take the opportunity to operate the election, so that there are no cold people at the top and no low-quality people at the bottom.
The gentry, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, completely lost the effect of selecting talents for the court.
What's more, after Duan Ye became the prefect of Dunhuang, he originally planned to clear the land again, survey the population, and implement a system of land for ploughing people. In this way, it can not only ease social conflicts, but also understand society.
The real power of mobilization and tax collection, but unexpectedly, I encountered great resistance, so great that this time I really became the commander of the bare feet, and no one supported me, even the people I trust most, such as Duan Ping, Hu Kaichuyun
The women who are still not support themselves, and Liu Yiru or Jiang Yu also tactfully advised themselves not to do this.
Later Duan Ye learned that since the Sima family ruled the world, it has been clearly stipulated that those with high officials who have shown their titles owned the land according to their official ranks, and recognized the private sector as a dependent on farmers in the form of laws across the country, although the laws stipulate that the state's rent and taxes are exempted and corvee is not allowed.
However, when occupying a large amount of land, high-ranking officials must have more dependent populations engaged in labor than required by the law.
In this era, land and population are the greatest resources. With land, it is equivalent to having money and a chassis. With population, it is equivalent to having people with rich and military forces. Of course, there is power,
This is also the fundamental reason why these aristocratic families exist.
Although the people around Duan Ye have all their origins, they are still in the middle class in general. They are too poor and there is no possibility of making a name for themselves in this era, so they will not be around Duan Ye.
The real aristocratic temple, Duan Ye, is still too small now, and they will not come at all.
Duan Ye was quite happy at first, because at any time, people in the middle class were often more rational and visionary. They did not fail to see the sky like the bottom, nor did they despise their conscience because of their own interests like the top leaders.
However, the land matter is too sensitive and affects the vital interests of too many people. Although they are not big landlords, they also have land interests. They are sensitive to any land-related changes.
It's better to be more conservative, there's nothing you can do about it
It was not until this time that Duan Ye realized how serious this family system and the derived land problems, selection problems, etc.
Although the makers of these systems have found various arguments and arguments for this system, their actual impact has caused the important official positions in the imperial court and the country to be almost monopolized by minority clans. The impact of personal background on their careers is great
In the end, the central and local officials were all the internal games of several families. They did not even leave the beginning of the scene and decided whether a person could become an official, not to look at anything else.
Instead, first, see if several big families can reach an agreement. After reaching an agreement, you can see whether the family in this position can be settled. If possible, the matter will be decided.
There is no doubt that Duan Ye himself was able to get his current position by chance. If it were normal, if it weren't for the defeat of the Great Qin Empire in the Battle of Feishui, people like Duan Ye would have no chance from this perspective.
In other words, Duan Ye cannot be regarded as a beneficiary of this system. Therefore, Duan Ye has no psychological pressure to use the knife against this system.
In fact, Duan Ye had thought about reforming this system and introducing examination systems like the imperial examination to select talents in a timely manner, because the simplest truth is that the larger the sample, the more talents there are possible. Duan Ye firmly believes that
A large number of talents are in the wild, and if so many talents are not taken, isn’t that just for yourself?
The various problems facing Duan Ye recently, as well as the sudden appearance of Zhang Gun and Cui Hao today, have directly made Duan Ye feel urgency. From the word "Famous Family", it is just a noun for Duan Ye, but now, the family of family
But he really stood in front of Duan Ye
Cui Hao and Zhang Gun kept looking at Duan Ye. Since Duan Ye learned about Cui Hao's identity, his expression was a little wrong. Although they were sure that Duan Ye would definitely not have any bad intentions to them.
Duan Ye would not know the weight of Zhang family in Shanggu and Cui family in Qinghe. Now he came to him personally, but other princes couldn't even ask for it, and Duan Ye wouldn't be able to do anything.
But Duan Ye kept lowering his head and pondering, but the old and the young were still a little uncertain. Even the two of them didn't know why they, who had been accustomed to the young man, could not do it in front of this young man.
The kind of weightlifting in the past
At this time, Duan Ye was actually struggling.
Of course, Duan Ye is unlucky to seek the effectiveness of the two people. Although Duan Ye only has one county in his hands, it will definitely accelerate its expansion in the future. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops but hard to find a general. What Duan Ye needs most is talents, let alone
Geniuses like Zhang Gun and Cui Hao
But Duan Ye was actually worried that he could control their concerns. This was definitely not unnecessary.
In terms of personal wisdom and ability, Duan Ye is actually quite confident because he has accumulated thousands of years of more than the people of this era. However, the problem is that Cui Hao and Zhang Gun represent not one person, but a huge one.
The family, even an unshakable class
It is really a big challenge to face a class by one person
What's more, there is never a free lunch in the world. Zhang Gun and Cui Hao come to help him. Although they have great potential, they must repay them when they do this. It is said that sharing hardships and difficulties is easy, but sharing wealth is difficult. At that time,
How does the career face them?
Moreover, the clans value the most is interests. Of course, they can work together for the sake of interests, but for the sake of interests, they even go their separate ways, and even fight back. There will be no pressure on them if they do something.
What should I do if I am no longer consistent? Duan Ye doesn't believe in feelings. The truth can avoid these things
These problems are unknown, but Duan Ye can't figure it out now
Forget it. Since you can't figure it out for a while, it's better not to think about it. Let time and history make the decision! Duan Ye decided to take care of the front of him first
After a while, Duan Ye finally raised his head and said with a smile: "You two can come to Guzang and say these words to Duan Ye. Duan Yeming feels that since we all have common ambitions and we have many problems.
The above views are consistent, so let us join hands to create a great cause together!”
"Create a great cause together!" The hands of the three people were stacked together
From this moment on, Zhang Gun and Cui Hao joined Duan Ye's team. This day was believed by many historians in later generations to be a turning point in this era. The countless comedy and tragedy that followed were all from this
