Kong Wei, the Duke of Yansheng, had already made a decision in his mind. He wanted to put aside the wealthy families first and then select a large number of scholars from poor families who were willing to cooperate to be admitted as scholars.
Use this as a means to crush the confidence in the hearts of those aristocratic families.
Even without the cooperation of aristocratic families like them, as long as there are officials from poor families, they can still manage the common people. For Jizhou, which is waiting to be revitalized, such a move is enough to achieve results in a short period of time.
However, in the long run, this move of excluding aristocratic families from the ruling class will create very unstable factors.
Kong Wei, the Holy Duke of Yan, naturally understood this truth.
Therefore, the matter was so important that he did not dare to slack off at all.
Kong Wei, the Duke of Yan Sheng, prepared proper details with his retainers and staff overnight, and early the next morning, he hurried towards Lu Zi.
Such a major move naturally required the emperor's personal permission.
Otherwise, if the aristocratic families get into trouble in the future, the responsibility involved will definitely not be something that a descendant of a sage like him can bear.
When Liu Yu listened to the narration of Yan Shenggong Kong Wei, who was in the dust, he was immediately surprised.
"Are these wealthy families in Jizhou so tyrannical?" Liu Yu said dissatisfied.
Although his selection of officials no longer depends on their origins, whether it is a test of Confucian classics or a test of martial arts, it is not a problem for aristocratic families.
Although the atmosphere of the gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties has become exaggerated, the number of civil and military talents in the big families is still far superior.
Even if they are ridiculed by future generations as 'women turned into beauty', many of the children of these aristocratic families are definitely rotten scholars who cannot bear to fall into disgrace.
This primitive version of the 'imperial examination system' can only ensure a relatively fair process, but it cannot guarantee absolute fairness in the results.
It is not so friendly to poor families and ordinary people. After all, the educational resources of aristocratic families are overwhelming, whether it is literature or martial arts.
But the result was so embarrassing that the big families in Jizhou even united to 'boycott the exam'.
Liu Yu thought angrily, this is obviously not giving me fat tiger face!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the Jizhou nobles may be afraid that they are not familiar with the new policies and new learning!"
Yan Shenggong Kong Wei said very tactfully.
After hearing this, Liu Yu glanced meaningfully.
Among today's Han military officials and generals, in addition to those from Qingzhou, another important source is the generals and officials from Jizhou.
Among them, Hua Xiu, Wu Xin, Gongsun Sheng and others are represented. Among them are people from high-ranking families as well as people from humble backgrounds.
However, during the establishment of marriage relationships in a few years, many people have more or less connections with powerful families in Jizhou.
Faced with this kind of relationship, Yan Shenggong Kong Wei naturally did not dare to speak too harshly.
Liu Yu understood the reason and didn't bother to worry about it.
"However, if I follow my method, not only can I select talents as officials to guard the counties for Your Majesty, but I can also show the world that Your Majesty is truly thirsty for talents and selects them in an eclectic way, so no one will be able to do so. No more worries. The so-called horse bones are worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
Kong Wei's method really made Liu Yu a little excited.
"Yes, no matter how capable a wealthy family is, children from a poor family can also make great achievements!"
Liu Yu immediately agreed.
Then, he read the implementation details provided by Kong Wei again.
The biggest change between the current 'official selection' and the previous 'nine-grade Zhongzheng system' actually lies in two places.
The first place is to select candidates based on their talents and learning regardless of their background.
The second difference is that once they are selected, these 'scholars' will basically start from the middle and lower levels when they obtain official positions, just like the starting ranks of high school graduates in later imperial examinations, except that the fluctuations are larger.
The children of high-ranking gentry families were recommended by "mutual flattery" before becoming officials, and then they easily took up noble positions.
Naturally, I hate these two changes deeply.
After Liu Yu read it again, he couldn't help but feel that the method proposed by Kong Wei hit the pain point.
"Your Majesty, after all, the rich families are in the minority, and the poor families are the majority. Even if we can't get dragons and phoenixes, we can still achieve success if we get eagles and dogs."
Liu Yu nodded after hearing this.
He didn't believe that a wealthy family could really fight to the end with the courage to "starve to death without eating Zhousu".
After a group of bureaucrats from poor families rise up, I am afraid that these wealthy families will rush to serve as officials.
At that time, I will never be too dissatisfied with one thing or another.
"Well, Yan Shenggong is worthy of being a true inheritor of profound family knowledge, and he is indeed a talented person in managing affairs!"
I originally thought that Kong Wei used his reputation to suppress people, but he didn't expect that no nobles would care about the saint, but instead he found a way to outsmart him.
"However, Your Majesty, if this happens, I am afraid that it will hinder the material discussion and lead to the theory of legal tyranny."
Kong Wei immediately reminded him.
The 'law' in this sentence is not the 'legal system' or 'rule of law' of later generations, that is something else.
The 'law' mentioned by Kong Wei is the Legalist approach advocated by Han Fei.
Since Huang Laowuwei ruled the country in the early Han Dynasty, and then Emperor Xuan's royal ways were mixed and domineering, today's Wei and Jin society has all turned into the introduction of Confucian classics.
The original Legalists had already gone from being shouted at by everyone in the late Han Dynasty to even more pitifully forgotten.
"Legalism certainly has its uses!"
Liu Yu naturally understands the truth of this very well, but now the ideology of the entire society is dominated by Confucianism. If Liu Yu provokes an argument that he should use Legalism.
I'm afraid that not only those high-ranking families will re-stand in line, but even those from humble families who were appointed will retreat.
After all, although they are all from poor families, in their hearts they consider themselves heirs of the upright Confucian sect and will never admit that they are legalists.
Even Xunzi, the originator of Confucianism into Legalism, and all his descendants, that is, the Yingchuan Xun family of the great gentry clan, all promoted Xunzi as a Confucian sage. No one has ever advocated that Xunzi was the originator of Legalism.
If you advocate this, it will be like a certain major political party in the 21st century claiming to be the successor of the Greek painter. That is absolutely politically incorrect.
"However, this decree was thought up by Yan Shenggong, how could it have any influence on Legalism?"
"Yanshenggong is the queen of sages, and those he relies on are naturally taught by sages!"
"The meaning of Confucius' scriptures is naturally enlightening in this way."
Liu Yu immediately started to advocate and almost found the Confucian basis and source of all the methods concocted by Kong Wei to end the delusions of the wealthy families.
After hearing Liu Yu's call, Kong Wei was confused for a while.
Since the Han Dynasty, the power to annotate all Confucian classics such as poems, books, rituals, etc. has actually been in the hands of aristocratic families.
In other words, how to answer and apply the saint's subtle words and great meanings is all controlled by the famous people of the aristocratic families.
This is to properly occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and morality.
On the contrary, the Kong family of Lu, a direct descendant of Confucius, was reduced to a situation where he had little say.
Even though Kong's status was greatly improved during the Sui and Tang Dynasties in later generations, he still could not be compared with these people.
Immediately, Kong Wei blushed again. If he was really like what Liu Yu described, he wouldn't be farming in the state of Lu.
"Your Majesty, I have not yet studied and understood the way of a saint, so I am not very clear about it yet."
Kong Wei explained hurriedly.
If he dares to go out and explain Confucian classics randomly, he will definitely be scolded to death, even if you are a descendant of Confucius.
However, Liu Yu didn't care about this at all.
He set a very serious face and said.
"You don't have to be so humble, these words are well-founded!"
"Ah, what does your Majesty mean?"
Kong Wei thought, I have never seen my ancestors say anything about Legalism. Legalism was two hundred years later than Confucianism. Even if my ancestors plagiarized, they couldn't find a place to plagiarize.
"Of course it's your family's ancestral knowledge!" Liu Yu said matter-of-factly.
"Ah, family tradition?"
Kong Wei suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
When his ancestor Confucius passed away, his only son Kong Li had not yet received any true biography.
Kong Li's later knowledge was all taught by Confucius' disciples.
This led to the fact that the real introduction of Confucius' Confucianism was from Confucius's disciples, not his son.
"Kong Qing has lived in Lu for a long time, so there is always a library at home, right?" Liu Yu asked.
Kong Wei immediately bowed and said, "Don't dare to build anything that exceeds the regulations! There is no library."
Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Kong Wei's lineage was already as poor as Liu Huangshu and was selling straw sandals. There was indeed no 'ge'.
"The cave where the books are stored?" Liu Yu did not give up.
"Well, Wei is ignorant. I haven't heard my ancestors mention this matter." Kong Wei had already guessed what Liu Yu was going to do, and cold sweat could not help but flow down his back.
"Hahaha, that's it!"
Liu Yu put his palms together and smiled.
"How can a sage's house not have a few treasures of scriptures?"
"From now on, no matter what Kong Qing says, it will all be based on the scriptures passed down from his family. If anyone is not convinced, let him come to me, and I will give him ten or eight copies of the ancient scriptures!"
Kong Wei was stunned at this time.
"The Holy Scriptures..."
The more Liu Yu talked, the more excited he became, as if he had suddenly discovered a door to a new world.
"Don't these wealthy families consider themselves Confucian scholars? Just interpreting a few classics is not enough. I will find some more ancient books for you and let you explain and interpret them carefully."
"Even if it is finally proven false, it can stir up this stagnant water."
"If the fake is really mistaken for the real, hehe, then the ideology in the future will become the largest Tuogu sect."
After thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but have some evil thoughts.
"If all his private works are passed down as Confucius' works, and if he really does this, maybe thousands of years later, Confucius will become an educator, writer, scientist, and philosopher with tens of millions of words written."
"Confucius and Dodd?"
When he saw Liu Yu's charming smile, Yan Shenggong Kong Wei felt his head and feet were cold, and he had no intention of openly criticizing "academic fraud".
On the next day, after receiving Liu Yuwanquan's support, Yan Shenggong Kong Wei returned to Jizhou without stopping.
After this, one after another "official scandals" that "humiliated the famous religion" that made the wealthy families of Jizhou beat their chests and beat their chests were inevitably staged one after another.
In the era of the Jin Dynasty, when politics was clear and clear, the humble servants from poor families could only work as clerks, but due to various "shady circumstances", they transformed into the governors of prefectures and counties.
The noble family's verbal criticism of these situations was quickly met with a ruthless counterattack by Yan Shenggong Kong Wei.
One after another, the 'Xian Sheng Sutra' was used as the best weapon, catching all the famous families in Jizhou off guard.

Yongzhou, Jingzhao.
Chang'an City.
On the slightly dilapidated Chang'an city wall, among the guards of a group of elite Jin troops, Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty was looking out of the city with despair.
The attendants Song Chang, Yushi Zhongcheng Jilang and others also had different expressions, but they were nothing more than despair, fear, and panic.
"General Zhengdong, are you defeated like this?"
Sima Ye said with trembling lips.
Following his gaze, he saw endless enemy camps outside the city, all with flags flying, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing coming in waves.
These are all Di people from Lueyang County. They came in force from west to east. In just a few days, they uprooted all the small forts outside Chang'an City.
As a result, Chang'an City completely lost contact with the reinforcements outside.
After hearing the emperor's discouraged words, everyone was silent.
Logically speaking, Suo Wei, the general of Anding County who conquered the east, should have arrived a long time ago, even if the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were riding oxen instead of horses, they should have arrived.
However, now that the Di rebels from Lueyang have arrived outside Chang'an City, Suo Wei, the general of Jin Zhengdong, has no trace of them.
"Your Majesty is a very brave soldier, how could he make such depressing remarks!"
Zhongcheng Jilang, who had always been a strict censor, immediately issued a remonstrance.
The little emperor Sima Ye knew he had made a mistake and immediately blamed himself. Then he cheered up and encouraged the generals and soldiers around him.
However, no one knows what the real effect is.
At the same time, outside the city, the Huns and Han Kingdom were in the military camp of Gong Puhong of Lueyang.
The envoy sent by Liu Cong, Emperor of the Han Dynasty to reward the Huns, not only brought a lot of gold, silver and silk, but also conferred the title of marquis on more than a dozen of Pu Hong's men, in order to reward the Di army for destroying the Jin army camp. of credit.
"Haha, I didn't think much about it. This emperor who slaughters everyone is so generous!"
"Yes, not only did they not ask for anything from us, they even rewarded us so much!"
"We have just destroyed a few small towns and villages, and there is so much wealth. If we attack Chang'an, what kind of extravagance will it be?"
A group of powerful people immediately fell into proud imagination.
Unlike these people, the young Di people leader Pu Hong could not help but frowned when he saw the happy expressions of these Di people chiefs.
"The trap that Tu Geren may have been prepared for is not just for the Jin people!"
