Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "So, let the children of the aristocratic family go to school together with the eight nephews and nephews in Beijing. They must learn both civil and military skills. Only by passing the exam can they obtain the title and continue to enjoy wealth. Is this the solution you have in mind?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Let's go step by step and let the nephews of the middle and senior generals with titles among the eight brothers in Beijing go to school together with the children of the aristocratic families. Everyone has the same official title and title, and the number of these people is limited, so they will not It makes the wealthy family so disgusted, and Jingkou is right next to Jiankang after all. If we make too big a move, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. If this matter is inconvenient for you in the past few months, you can let Xu Xianzhi take charge of it."
Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly: "What do you mean, do you want to build the plank road openly, secretly visit Chen Cang, and continue Xiang Xu's plan elsewhere?"
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "You are still smart. Yes, I have this plan. Doing this in the hometowns of wealthy families such as Wudi and Jiankang has caused too much reaction. I have spent more than a year establishing Xiangxu , but I know it well, and most of the prefaces are based on Confucian classics, while your aristocratic family advocates talking about metaphysics and Taoism, which itself represents a different way of governing the world."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, metaphysics is the theory of imagining the emperor's real power and letting the noble families control the power, while Confucianism is the theory of respecting the emperor and being patriotic. If a strong monarch is needed, it will inevitably greatly strengthen Confucianism. You let Confucian masters like Fan Ning and Fan Tai came to control Xiangxu, which really alarmed many aristocratic families."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "But metaphysics does not have the Four Books and Five Classics. If you don't teach people to read and practice calligraphy first, there is no way to read the Tao Te Ching. Sir, sir, teaches these things. Therefore, I temporarily use Mr. Confucianism to teach people these elementary literacy skills." , they have nothing to say, but in the end if power is involved, the aristocratic families will not give in. Doing this in Jingkou and Jiankang will make the aristocratic families directly think that the Jingba warriors want to seize power and control the government. , so, we have to change our minds this time.”
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Mu Zhi, just by saying this to me, the daughter of a wealthy family, are you so sure that I will agree with your actions? Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your entire plan to my mother?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "You may disapprove of me, but you will not disapprove of sending slaves. In the final analysis, we are doing this to realize his ideal. If you put your identity as a high-ranking family member, Bian, do we still need to talk here now?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed quietly: "In terms of status, I am the daughter of a noble family, but in terms of emotions, I know that what Jinu thinks is right, but I don't want to mess up the Xie family all at once. The Wang family is just like ordinary farmers, and this is unfair. At the very least, this process should be gradual, and the children of the aristocratic family should also have a process of slowly accepting it in their hearts."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "So, let the nephews of the Jingba brothers be with the children of these aristocratic families first, let them know that today's wealth is hard-won, and it is because some people are bleeding and dying for the country that they can enjoy peace. Everyone has a sense of honor, disgrace and shame, and reading can help you understand etiquette and righteousness. In the past, the children of aristocratic families were sensual and playful every day when they were together. Over time, even some motivated people would be wiped out. Now, if you are with the eight nephews from Beijing, Together, we can at least let them know something about the situation outside Jiankang and Wudi, and what war and farm life are like. With these, some people will always want to change."
"At the same time, I need to set up a school for training officials here in Qingzhou. I have discussed this with the slaves before. In the name of Qingzhou's new attachment and the need to control the grassroots, a large number of capable officials are needed to set up this school to teach people how to do it. Collecting taxes according to national laws, and encouraging teachers to farm and mulberry trees, these tasks are complicated and difficult, and they have to stay in the countryside for a long time. I'm afraid not many children from aristocratic families are willing."
Wang Miaoyin's eyes lit up: "Then who are you going to recruit into this school?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "This can widen the scope. Nephews of meritorious soldiers without titles, middle- and lower-class scholars who want to suffer this hardship, including powerful children here in Qingzhou and nephews of Xianbei nobles, can come over. First, I am authorized to train a thousand people first. On the surface, they will only learn daily grassroots village management. After they succeed in their studies, they will be released to serve as local lords, village chiefs, and qiukui. If they do well , then be promoted, and soon the world will know that there is a way to gain wealth and power even if you don't join the army."
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "Aren't you afraid of causing conflicts and conflicts with the local wealthy families in Qingzhou? You know, the wealthy families here have occupied the position of local officials for generations."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "This is going on step by step. The reason why Qingzhou has been rebelling all the year round is, to put it bluntly, because these local wealthy families have always controlled the grassroots. The laws and edicts of the court cannot be implemented in the local area. This needs to change sooner or later. , the good news is that the Xianbei people of Nanyan before the founding of the country also grabbed a lot of land with rich water and grass over the years. As their own grazing place, they also occupied the fields of some local Han people. This time with the destruction of Nanyan, These places were nationalized.”
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "This is for the noble families, we have agreed before."
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Then do you think that the Xianbei people will no longer be slaves and become the private military tribe of the aristocratic family? Without this, how many descendants of the aristocratic family will be willing to come to Qingzhou to take over these ranches and manors?"
Wang Miaoyin understood and said with a smile: "I have forgotten this. Those aristocratic families are not interested in these places, but they want to take the opportunity to take over the armor and cavalry equipment and re-establish the aristocratic family's army. I still want to do this." I didn’t tell my mother, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for the family to accept it.”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "The demon thieves are about to attack Yuzhou, which is not far from Jiankang. This is not the time to bargain. Instead of thinking about the distant land of Qingzhou, it is better to consider how to defeat this attack." Survive, as long as we have brains, we can understand that after the demon thieves are eliminated, some additional manor land can be allocated in places like Guangzhou and Xiangzhou to compensate these noble families, and even Guangzhou can be Distribute more of the rare treasures to them. As for the land of Qingzhou, I have the final say when I leave the town. If they have any objections, just let them come to me."
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi, aren't you afraid that some people will say that you are doing this in Qingzhou because you want to separate your own country and have disobedience?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Let him go and settle with the slave, I have no objection."
