Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 617
In Houde Hall,

Cao Cao and the emperor sat facing each other. The emperor held the memorial table sent by Cao Cao in his hand and looked at it carefully. Cao Cao put in front of the emperor what he said would reduce the pressure of the Jimin government on the treasury. The emperor looked at it with great interest, and after just a few glances, he was already stunned. He didn't know what this strategy had to do with the Jimin Mansion. support.

In the system of selecting officials, Cao Cao has always been very extreme. He inherited Wang Fu's idea of ​​seeking talents, and also put forward the idea of ​​not emphasizing morality, but only seeking talents. If his idea was put forward before Wang Fu , I am afraid that I will be scolded to death by all the officials. After Wang Fu implemented the scientific merit assessment system, the behavior of aristocratic families to become officials through evaluation has been decreasing. Up to now, everyone has accepted the system of passing the assessment to become an official.

Although the officials are still the children of aristocratic families, at least it also provides a way for those from poor families. As long as they have enough knowledge, they can serve as officials.

But what is Cao Cao's proposal now?

Set up an appraiser in the central government to appraise the world's great families, establish grades based on wind appraisal, set up nine ranks, and the top ranks will be given priority to enter the academy and participate in the assessment? ?Isn't this completely supporting the aristocratic family?Cao Cao, why is he suddenly going from the opposite side of the big clan to their side? ?The Son of Heaven looked at Cao Cao in amazement, but Cao Cao did not defend himself, looked at the Son of Heaven, and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Heh Cao Mengde, are you thinking about your five sons?"

"Don't dare, after I eunuch, how can I be named among the big clan?"

"Then what do you want to do with this policy? To win over the great families of the world?" The emperor asked back, frowning.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and took out another memorial form from his sleeve, handed it to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, look at this again." The emperor was a little sullen, but he still took the memorial form from him. Looking at the table again, the system is still the same on the table, but there are differences. In the end, Cao Cao just put forward his inner thoughts. First of all, there are strict restrictions.

For the nine-rank clans, there are their own restrictions. Regarding the cultivated land, servants, status, number of officials, etc. that they can own, as long as they accept the canonization of the temple, they cannot exceed this amount, otherwise they will be convicted. In addition, the higher the rating of the aristocratic family, the greater the obligation, which includes the Jimin Mansion, and the economic pressure of the Jimin Mansion is directly transferred to these people.

Only then did Cao Cao say: "Your Majesty, this system seems to support the aristocratic family, but in fact, it is a lot of restrictions on the aristocratic family. What we have to pay is not much, just some false names and irrelevant privileges, such as Let them wear beautiful clothes, let them be two-horse carts, we only need to pay for this, and we can restrain these people. I have pondered for a long time. Over the years, we have tried every means to limit the rise of these wealthy families. Stop their annexation of the people"

"However, not only failed to stop them, but made them intensify. From the party ban, to the assessment, to the new policy, everything is restricting the rise of the aristocratic family, but they have too many resources, even after the assessment, More than [-]% of them are descendants of aristocratic families, and the New Deal collects harsh taxes, but they can still try their best to resist the many policies of the temple by dividing the family."

"I think, only by using a set of policies to firmly restrain them, they will not continue to grow. As long as there is a rating, the top-ranking family will definitely supervise the middle-rank and low-rank, making them confront each other and fight against each other. Supervision, absolutely dare not have outrageous behavior."

Listening to Cao Cao's words, the emperor asked, "Do you think this system is really useful?"

"I don't know. This system will not be able to stop them sooner or later. However, it can at least restrict them for four to fifty years. In this period of time, as long as the temple continues to support the children of poor families, through the change of the number of people, sooner or later there will be restrictions on the aristocratic family." Method" Cao Cao said seriously, the emperor pondered for a long time, then nodded, and said: "Well, let's do it this way, when do you want to implement it?"

"I haven't fully prepared yet. I am going to discuss with these big families first."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes again as he spoke.

At the same time, two things happened in the temple. The first was to re-establish the Valiant Battalion and join the Southern Army. Hua Xiong was very disappointed because he did not get the post of captain. It was Hua Xiong who was really unsuitable. Although he was a general who had been fighting for many years, it was obviously impossible for him to be a lieutenant in his position. What's more, this army was still fighting as a scout. Just like that, Hua Xiong couldn't leave. own position.

Gongsun Zan's eldest son, Gongsun Xu, assumed the position of the brave captain.

Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, went to the Military Academy to take over Huangfusong's position. Huangfusong's illness had not been cured for a long time. Even Hua Tuo, who healed him, had no choice but to inform everyone that the time limit for General Huangfu had come, and he didn't know how long he could last. , his second son, Huangfu Jianshou, is also on the way, ready to come here.

Gongsun Zan was not dissatisfied with his arrangement. He was also getting old, so it was okay to let him lead the army, but if he was to be a captain, fight in person, and march at the forefront, I am afraid he would not be able to bear it. Before military studies, he also visited General Huangfu. General Huangfu was lying on the sickbed, a little ignorant of human affairs. Gongsun Zan originally wanted to talk to him, but seeing him like this, he left helplessly.

When Gongsun Zan arrived at the Military Academy, many students went to greet him.

Gongsun Zan rode a steed, looking at the young people in front of him. After returning from the brave camp, Gongsun Zan, who was somewhat unknown in Luoyang, was also well-known, and everyone knew about their feats. Very welcome, Gongsun Zan has led the brave battalion for a long time, and has a very close relationship with the soldiers. Unlike others, he did not have a cold face and showed his gentle side.

He went directly to the platform, surrounded the students around him, and sat down before he began to speak.

"I am Gongsun Zan, the former captain of the Xiaoyong Camp! I will serve as the sacrificial wine for military science. In the future, I will be your respected teacher. I heard earlier that when General Huangfu taught you, he would teach you some great strategies for using troops and teach you how to deal with them." Enemy, how to command the army, I don't mean to disrespect General Huangfu, but, I think, you are still young, after the assessment, it is best to just serve as a school lieutenant and how to command the army is not what you should learn."

"After you get to the battlefield, you can learn it."

"What I want to teach you is how not to die on the battlefield, and how to cause the greatest damage to the enemy with the least cost. This is what I want to teach you. I have said what should be said. If you have any doubts, you can ask me directly, don't be restrained, I have always regarded my subordinates as nephews, I hope you can also regard me as an elder!" Gongsun Zan said.

"General!" Sure enough, a student immediately wanted to ask a question. Gongsun Zan looked at him and nodded.

The student stood up and asked enviously, "General, did the Valiant Battalion really be able to travel thousands of miles a day, fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"

"Flying to the sky??? Which idiot told you this?"

"What Hua Jijiu Said"

"I'm not an alchemist!! I can't fly into the sky!! Sit down!"

The student hurriedly sat down, and Gongsun Zan said: "We can't fly into the sky, and we can't travel thousands of miles in a day. What we rely on is that the horse can run faster than others, has eyes and ears, and is good at finding the enemy. Come and go freely, just went to the battlefield, you will all be nervous and afraid, at that time, you are the most prone to make mistakes, at this time, all you have to do is to calm down, think seriously, reckless general, always No match for the calm general!!"

The students listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and firmly memorized Gongsun Zan's words.

"Don't be brave, don't rush forward. Never leave your brother and treat your soldiers well. Beware of your soldiers knocking you out and sending you out. If they want something to eat, give them something to eat, don't stay after the war."

Shen Bo is one of the only three remaining warriors in the Valiant Camp. After years of fleeing, he and his two brothers embarked on the road back to their hometown. In Shanggao County, the formerly occupied area of ​​Goguryeo, they stayed here. Seeing them embracing their parents and weeping with joy, Uncle Shen was very envious. He had no parents. Killed by the Goguryeo people.

After passing Shangxiagao County, he finally came to the place he missed most, Dongyan.

I finally returned to my hometown. However, this hometown is different from ten years ago. Everywhere is very strange. The roads are full of cars and horses. For these hard-working people, he always felt that he was a bit out of place, and the worst thing was that he forgot his home, where he couldn't find it, so he could only go to the local officials.

The local officials, after learning of his identity, were shocked and extremely respectful.

They took the warrior and found his home.

Before he arrived home, the news of his return had already spread in his hometown. On the road, many people came to greet him. They all smiled and showed admiration for the hero.

In the crowd, he couldn't find his wife.

Standing at the door of the house, he saw the embarrassing wife, her face was pale, her head was lowered, and her face was covered with tears. Beside her, there was another man standing, surrounded by several children. The man watched in horror. He didn't dare to speak, but his wife said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't know you were still alive. They said you were already dead in battle."

The officials looked at Uncle Shen helplessly, for fear that he would violently kill someone.

Uncle Shen stood in front of the door, his whole body was so cold, as if he had returned to the snow field, his whole body was shivering from the cold, he smiled wryly, and shook his head, "It's not your fault."

The officials found a new house for him.

He has his own marquis and a lot of arable land, which he rents out to some common people to keep them busy in farming.

He has his own boat and can fish at will.

It's just that the wounds of the war seem to be hard to heal. Walking alone on the road, or staying at home alone, staring at the wall in a daze, he is out of place here. Walking on the road, when he hears the sound of horseshoes, he will immediately hide. Or run away, when he heard the shouting, he couldn't help pulling out his sword, looking around, a little dazed, many people said behind his back that he was crazy.

His childhood friend was slashed by him just because he patted him on the back. He didn't even look back, he drew his sword and slashed. Looking at his friend who was crying on the ground, he was terrified and panicked. At a loss, he looked blankly at the people around him who were afraid of him, and ran back home trembling.

At night, he was lying on the bed, holding his long sword in his arms. He just closed his eyes when he heard the shout of the watchman outside the door. At that moment, he jumped up again, drew out his sword, and looked around .

He dug out his most decent clothes at home, and he ate a big fish from Dongyi again.

Three days later, people found his body in the lake, holding a sword tightly, sleeping forever.

Some people say that he committed suicide by jumping into the lake, while others say that he fell into the lake by accident.

He is often mentioned.

remember?We also had a warrior here, who fought fiercely outside for decades, he is really majestic!
By the way, what's his name?

Hmm. Who cares.
