The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 258 Is it easy to govern a family?
Li Shimin couldn't help but get angry, this kid usually looks so angry, saying that the emperor, my father, where is the way he talks about the king of Hades?
Now when it comes to the aristocratic family, you are as afraid as a tiger?
This made Li Shimin, who is the emperor of a country, feel bad for a while.

Is the family so scary?
You usually call Li Er Li Er!
Could it be that the aristocratic family is more deterrent than the royal family?What kind of bullshit is this?

You kid is not afraid of the emperor, but you are afraid of the family. Could it be that the family is above him, the emperor?
I really get angrier the more I think about it!
Li Shimin immediately slapped the table and said.

"You boy, where is your usual cleverness? If you can hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime?"

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

He continued to pat the table and continued speaking righteously.

"Think about it, boy, you chose to back down in the tavern business, but which of your boy's businesses is simple?"

"If people from the family in the future set their sights on your coal workshop, will you also choose to hand it over to others?"

"Not to mention your daughter's business! It's a business that makes money every day!"

"If you are like this, how can someone hand over Rou'er to you? Could it be possible to drink the northwest wind with you?"

In order to keep this kid from being cowardly, Li Shimin thought of a drastic method, and even moved his own daughter out.

"That's right, you're a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I'm afraid they'll play tricks, don't let the old man look down on you, kid!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help saying angrily when he saw the kid's timid look.

This brat, why is he so cowardly today?
Where did the courage to kick the old man go?
"Tch, it doesn't hurt my back to talk while standing. If I were Li Er, I would certainly be able to treat this group of malignant tumors, but I'm just a country boy, right?"

Tang Sufan's rebellious statement that if I were Li Er made even Li Shimin who was present at the scene feel a little bit surprised.

Instead, he immediately noticed the most critical blind spot in this kid's words.

"You kid said...you have a way to rectify the family?"

Li Shimin's heart trembled violently, and a thought sprouted from his heart, could it be that this brat really has hidden ways to rule the family?

As for that offensive sentence, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin are no strangers to it.

After all, what can't this kid say?

Tang Sufan pretended not to look at the two of them, and spread his hands in a mess.

"Cut, it's not easy to deal with this group of moths in the family, but what's the use of having a way? It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, what are you talking about?!"

"Don't, don't, tell me, kid!"

After hearing Tang Sufan's confirmation, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Tang Sufan for a moment!
The troubles of the family made it difficult for him to sleep day and night.

Even after being on the throne for three years, he tried his best to pull out the fur of the aristocratic family in the court.

did not expect!This kid actually hides a good recipe for rectifying the family!
For a moment, Li Shimin's fiery gaze almost came out.

If the aristocratic family can be eradicated, then Li Shimin's biggest problem will be solved except for the problem of foreign aggression!
This is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin can't help but cheer up!
Under Li Shimin's fiery gaze, Tang Sufan became even more paralyzed, raised his hand lazily, and said lazily.

"Forget it, my mouth is dry, I don't want to say~"

"Don't tell me, you kid, I'm very curious! This is the current worry of the Holy Majesty. If you give a solution, it will not be easy to reward Mijue!"

Li Shimin hurriedly tried to persuade him with kind words, for fear that this kid would fail at this joint.

He even took the initiative to pick up the kettle on the table in the living room, poured Tang Sufan a good cup, and pushed it in front of Tang Sufan.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded for a while, His Majesty's professional ability of pouring water and wine has become more and more proficient~
Tang Sufan raised his eyes sleepily: "You really want to hear it?"

"Of course!"

Li Shimin nodded hastily like pounding garlic.

Looking at Li Shimin's fiery eyes, Tang Sufan's eyes flashed with a trace of strangeness.

Then I forced myself to sit up straight, and said, "Okay, let me talk to you~"

Li Shimin quickly leaned closer, with a serious face, like a student who is listening to the class seriously.

"If you want to eradicate the aristocratic family, what you need to do is to promote the poor family and change the imperial examination!"

Xinghanmen, change the imperial examination~
Li Shimin thought about it silently, which Li Shimin had naturally thought of before.

But this journey is full of difficulties!
"This is natural, but if it is the Xinghan family, there will be many obstacles..."

Although Li Shimin nominally decides the promotion, appointment and removal of officials in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is in those invisible places.

That is the one-word hall of the aristocratic family.

Even many books and resources are in the hands of the family.

It is very difficult to cultivate disciples from poor families under such circumstances~
Tang Sufan smiled. He didn't know that before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the famous families, that is, the gentry, controlled the government, and it was hereditary.

That is to say, no matter who is the emperor, he must rely on the gentry to rule the world. Although the emperors of all dynasties were very unhappy with some famous families, they only killed some local tyrants to strengthen their rule, and they could not change the ruling foundation of the gentry.

For example, the early promotion of filial piety and integrity were often the patents of the gentry. Some weak dynasties simply had no way to deal with the gentry, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Without the gentry, they could not even sit on the throne.

So before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as long as you had a good family background, you could be an official. It was not impossible for a poor family, but there was no shortcut for the gentry.

Although the imperial examination had a certain impact on the rule of the gentry during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the power of the local clan was still strong.

It was not until the Wuhu Chaohua directly destroyed the ruling foundation of the gentry, and since then the gentry has not been as good as it was before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination was on the right track, and since then the imperial examination has really become the way for the country to obtain scholars.Of course, in all dynasties there were people who bought officials, so there were still many ways to be an official in ancient times, such as eloquent debaters, appearance jesters, hereditary gentry, imperial examinations, and joining the army.

Even in the period of Tang Zhuangzong, as long as you can sing, you may become a big official in the border.

Tang Sufan put away his smile, and then said.

"Of course, the reason why the aristocratic family has been prosperous in the officialdom is naturally the most important two are private education and recommendation!"

"In the local area, if you don't go to their private schools, the students in the local area have nowhere to study. When they have nowhere to study, they are collected by the five surnames and Qi Wang. If they are successful in their studies, they will be recommended to be officials. In the future, Qingyun will go straight to the court. Prime Minister, how can you forget your roots?"

Li Shimin nodded with a serious expression, how could he not know this?
But the fact is what it is, nothing can change it!

The most terrible thing is that for these big families, it doesn't cost much for these students to come to study at home.

For their families with profound background, it is nothing more than a little money for food, drink and teachers.

But if this happens every year, more officials will be trained, a few or even a dozen a year, and the network of relationships cultivated over time will be appalling.

Li Shimin's biggest headache is also this point, unless he can kill a large number of people at once, otherwise he really has nothing to do.

But once the knife is too heavy and the action is too hasty, this will make the entire court really lack scholars.

If it is time to clean it up again and strangle a group of people related to the five surnames and seven Wangs, maybe the entire court will have to be shut down, and there will be a big mess.
