The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 897 Rules
"Inequality..."

A trace of doubt flashed between Xu An's brows, but that doubt soon dissipated.

Because he has already thought of part of the origin and source of why Yan Zhong said this.

Jia Xu looked sideways slightly, his gaze stayed away from Yan Zhong for a while, then he looked away again, looked around the observation tower, and then withdrew his gaze
On the watchtower, apart from the three of them, there were only a few commanding soldiers who were in charge of delivering military orders.

The conversation between Yan Zhong and Xu An was not loud, and he was sure that only these few people heard it.

The commanding soldiers who can stand on the second-floor watchtower, without exception, belong to Tengxiangwei. These are the most staunch believers in Taipingdao, and they will strictly guard any words they hear.

"Ming Gong seems to have already thought of the key point."

"Duke Ming opened Mengxue before, but it was only limited to a few counties in Bingzhou, and the impact was not far-reaching. Even if it was extended to the whole prefecture, with the help of the seized materials, it was enough to maintain the operation of the school."

"So in the end, all localities can only choose merit-based admissions, and it is impossible for all children to receive education."

"In many places, those farmers and miners are unwilling to send their children to school. What they think is that when the children are a little older, they can help the family with farming and work. These Minggongs should know better than us."

Yan Zhong stared at Xu An with deep eyes. Sometimes he felt that he knew Xu An very well, but most of the time, he found that he didn't know Xu An well.

Xu An never mentioned his background or his past.

Everything since Xu An joined the Yellow Turban is like a mystery.

It doesn't look like he was born in a family, but it doesn't look like he was born in a market, let alone a farmer's family.

perhaps……

In this world, there are really people who are born to know it, and there are really children of destiny who are born according to the times...

At the beginning, when Xu An revealed his past in a single word, it really shocked him, thinking that he was a heavenly being.

But then, he discovered that Xu An is also a flesh and blood person, who also has emotions, hesitation and fear.

Yan Zhong stared into Xu An's eyes, and he saw many things in Xu An's eyes.

Those things that appeared in Xu An's eyes made the last trace of hesitation and worry in Yan Zhong's heart disappear.

It was this person who led Taiping Road all the way to today, from Taihang Mountain to Pengcheng.

The prosperity of Chang'an City did not dazzle his eyes, nor did the luxurious and corrupt life make him degenerate.

Even if there are tens of millions of people under the rule of Taiping Dao and they are about to seize the world, he will not slack off.

Yan Zhong's eyes moved up a little, and he saw the white hair between Xu An's temples.

Xu An is only in his thirties now, and he should be in high spirits and at the prime of his life, but Xu An's hair has already grown a lot of white hair.

In order to cover his eyes and ears, Xu An carefully hid those white hairs under the black hair. Although he couldn't see it from a distance, he could still see the clues from a close up.

Yan Zhong's expression was slightly gloomy. When he was young, he traveled all over the world and saw the warmth of human feelings and the various states of the world. After that, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he understood the joints and the stories of human relationships.

The so-called world of Huang Tian, ​​the world that Xu An wanted to build was beautiful, but it was truly unattainable and illusory, and it might become a reality in hundreds or thousands of years.

It's just that in today's chaotic world, he can't see the possibility of success.

but……

Now he's willing to fight for it...

"When I talk about educational inequality, the focus is on different foundations and different assets."

Yan Zhong calmed down, now he no longer hesitates.

"Although Duke Ming ordered the aristocratic and powerful families to donate more than [-]% of their assets, confiscate all the land, no longer allow slaves, crack down on lawlessness, and exempt them from preferential treatment."

"Although all this is heavy, it does hurt the bones of those aristocratic families and greatly reduces the power of the local wealthy families. This method is indeed effective for the wealthy families, but the fundamental impact on the aristocratic families is not as heavy as Minggong imagined. "

"In the final analysis, the powerful clan is just occupying one side. Those who are powerful and powerful are also clans. They only need to find an excuse, and they can be easily culled."

Xu An nodded. The noble clan Yan Zhong mentioned was actually powerful, but they were local powerful. In today's words, they are ordinary landlords.

The influence of the local tyrants in the Han Dynasty was actually not great, and most of them were not from the same family.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the powerful increased greatly. Liu Xiu was able to win the world when he raised his troops. There were also many exchanges of interests, which also made the powerful officially boarded the political stage and became the person in power. fat pig.

However, until now, those powerful families have also evolved into aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families have also become more powerful monsters than those in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"The reason why an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is not only because of its background, but also not only because of the so-called blood."

Seeing that Xu An was listening carefully, Yan Zhong glanced around and lowered his voice slightly.

"It's because of the power in his hands..."

A gleam of light flashed in Yan Zhong's eyes, and at the same time he reached out his hand and gave it a grasp.

"The power in your hands..."

Xu An's expression froze, and in just a moment, Xu An understood the meaning of Yan Zhong's words.

The so-called power in their hands is precisely because the aristocratic family has the power to become an official. After becoming an official, they can control one party and restrain one party. Even when they reach a certain level of power, they can control the government, even control the country, and formulate rules...

The current system of the Han court is the rules formulated by the former Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and those powerful families who helped him seize the world.

In short, it is "official standard".

Officials are the foundation, officials are valued, and officials are respected.

The origin of this trend of thought originated from Shang Yang, the representative of Legalism in the Warring States Period.

The systems of the Qin and Han dynasties were a centralized system, from states, counties, and counties to the central government, centralized power through officials, and implemented a pyramid structure.

And such a society will inevitably lead to "official standard".

Merchant, worker, farmer, any other occupation has little security.

The low status of businessmen is just fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and ordinary commoners Qianshou are the targets of exploitation at will. Only by becoming officials can they grasp power and grow their clans.

During the Han court, the probation system was implemented, and the local governor inspected and selected talents in the jurisdiction at any time, and recommended them to superiors or the court, and then appointed officials after probation and assessment.

At the beginning of this system, it was still clear, but then it became more and more corrupt and was manipulated by the powerful family.

But even in the Qingming period, only those from powerful families can become officials.

They not only hold knowledge, but also hold the power to select and appoint officials, and they have always held power firmly in their own hands.

Those born in a humble family will always be humble, and those born in a high family will always be a high family, which is difficult to change.

The common people in Qianshou will never recover.

"Although Duke Ming has eliminated the power of recommendation, he uses examinations to select talents."

"The promotion of schools, the admission of common people's children, the popularization of paper and woodblock printing have also greatly reduced the production cost of books, getting rid of the heavy bamboo slips, solving the problem of cost, and also solving the problem of monopoly by aristocratic families. .”

"However, the problem now is that once students from powerful families enroll, relying on their existing foundation and long-term experience, they can easily obtain a diploma from the county school. It's not that difficult for anyone."

Yan Zhong had a serious look on his face, it was absolutely fair, but in fact it was truly unfair.

The end points are the same, but the starting line is different. Even in the process of running, some people can rely on clan forces to speed up.

"Duke Ming should have some impressions. In the previous national examination presided over by Duke Ming, many of the people who were admitted to the National Academy and Military Academy were from Liangzhou aristocratic families."

Xu An frowned slightly. Now that Yan Zhong mentioned it, he also remembered it. He didn't care about it at the beginning.

In that national examination, there were nearly forty people from Liangzhou aristocratic families who were admitted to the National Academy and Military Academy, including the clans of Yan Zhong, Jia Xu and others, which was almost [-]% of the number of people admitted by the war.

This ratio is already very high, because there are not many people who came from aristocratic families in the first national examination.

Although Xu An didn't remember the exact number of people, he had a certain impression. He settled down, and he would definitely have to learn more about this matter in the future.

"The reason why so many people can be admitted is not because I really think that those ordinary people are not as good as me and other aristocratic children."

"In the previous county exams, there were many children from aristocratic families who failed the exams, and their names fell outside the list. It really surprised many people."

Yan Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, he thought of those aristocratic family members who thought they were sure of everything at that time, and thought that those students from ordinary people's families had absolutely no children who had passed their exams, but the final result turned out to be unbelievable.

"So later on, scholars from various families took textbooks and studied hard all day long, and then set up ethnology in the family. When children from ordinary families go to work on vacation, children from aristocratic families can enter ethnology and continue to study in ethnology. Only by studying hard can we achieve such results.”

"Ethnology..."

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly, and under Yan Zhong's suggestion, he had already figured out the key points.

The ethnology emerging among the aristocratic families is to a large extent equivalent to the cram schools for later generations.

They have money to set up ethnology, and someone can be a teacher to tutor those missing knowledge for the children of their own clan, and even preview it in advance, one step or even several steps faster than others.

But where did those ordinary peasant families come from such conditions to go to after-school tutoring, and many of their parents were even unwilling to send their children to school to study.

They think that their children are not materials for studying, and they don’t want to waste time and farm work. In some of their minds, if they have time to study, it is better to help the family with more work, earn more money, and share the pressure of the family. It is the right way.

Xu An turned his head to look at the battlefield where they were fighting in the distance, his mind and body gradually became cold.

The thick drums and harsh military whistles on the battlefield could not make the blood flow in his body again.

If this problem cannot be solved, then it can be predicted that in the near future, powerful people from aristocratic families will gradually occupy the court, and more problems will follow.

Even if it is ordered to ban ethnology, even if it is strictly prohibited, I am afraid that it will be carried out secretly at that time, and it will be difficult for others to set it up among the clans.

No wonder the four Yingchuan clans and those aristocratic families surrendered so happily. Even if they handed over [-]% of their money and land, the remaining part is a huge amount of wealth, which is enough to support their comeback and their children to continue. study.

How to do it...

Xu An was restless, he found that he couldn't calm down for the first time.

He couldn't think of a solution, and he found that such a situation was completely unsolvable in this era.

The imperial examination system first came into being in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then prevailed in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

There are no aristocratic families in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but the evolution of cronies, township parties and other forces. They set up academies and started ethnology.

Ordinary students can only study hard in cold windows, but they are taught by famous teachers.

Those who are the top three in high school, famous in the palace, and selected for scholars and talents are mostly children of high schools.

Xu An wouldn't care too much about those cronies, township parties, so-called landlords, and noble families in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

But now these aristocratic families inherited from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are not extinct. The precipitation of thousands of years and hundreds of years makes them look like monsters. The imperial examinations in the Song and Ming Dynasties cannot be compared with them.

They can really change a country into a country that belongs to them. Later, the Eastern Han court can indeed say that the emperor and the family share the world.

A palpitating killing intent circulated in Xu An's eyes, and a crazy idea suddenly emerged in Xu An's heart.

Since this problem cannot be solved, it is better to solve the root of the problem.

It's better to kill all those so-called aristocratic families, completely cut off their foundations, and completely solve this problem!

Xu An clenched the armrest of the chair, stared at the front, restrained his expression.

Those aristocratic families have their own backgrounds and countermeasures, but now, the knife is firmly held in his hand.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command only obeyed his orders, and had nothing to do with the aristocratic family, and were even in a state of opposition.

Yan Zhong's heart was beating wildly, his expression changed slightly, he saw Xu An's face returned to calm, he turned his head to stare ahead, leaned his body back slightly, and made no other movements.

This was Xu An's subconscious action. Every time Xu An made such a move, it was because of the killing intent in his heart.

Although Yan Zhong couldn't fully understand Xu An's heart, he knew that Xu An might have murderous intentions for all the families in the Han court, and even all the families in the country.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

The tsunami-like shouts from the front disturbed Xu An's thoughts, but it also made him grasp an extremely important point.

Xu An raised his eyes and looked forward, and Lu Bu's flag was flying in the direction of the front line.

Lu Bu's reputation is now in full swing, and this time he went to battle, it immediately attracted the shouts and responses of countless generals of the Ming army.

Xu An stood up, walked to the railing of the watchtower, and leaned against the railing of the watchtower with open hands.

He has solved powerful enemies one after another, and this chaotic world is about to be quelled by him.

Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Huang Fusong, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other heroes of the time were all defeated by him.

The aristocratic family's disease is not insoluble. He holds a steel knife in his hand, and those powerful aristocratic families who have cut off their wings and minions have no power to fight back.

nowadays.

He is the maker of the rules!
