The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 442 National System

It is very likely that Sima Yi was pretending to be crazy, and it was very likely that he had already started to do so after he left that day.

I have to say that Sima Yi is very 'ruthless', so it goes without saying how terrifying it is for someone who can calculate himself.

The world will be peaceful, and the rest will be governed slowly. Sima Yi's actions and the family's actions can be said to be the last difficulty in the world.

Either Wei Tao surrendered to them, or the aristocratic family surrendered to Wei Tao. There is no third possibility. The aristocratic family has a deep foundation, but it is not so easy to shake.

"It turns out that this is Meng De's true meaning. It's a pity that Meng De has put in so much effort."

At this time, after thinking about it carefully, Wei Tao finally found out that Cao Cao probably didn't just want to recruit Sima Yi for the last time. After all, Sima Yi was only a person and he couldn't act like Cao Cao. The real reason was probably Cao Cao at that time. It was already somewhat expected.

It is expected that the aristocratic families in this world will never be willing to do so.

"In that case, I'll see how it goes!"

Wei Tao soon made up his mind to be a human being in two lifetimes, and he believed that the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System" might be presented on his desk.

Therefore, at the moment, Wei Tao has temporarily suppressed all requests for resignation, and for all the policies of the new dynasty, most of them are to continue the Han system, without any intention of changing, let alone promulgating the slightest will.

Even so, everyone can understand that this is just a temporary expediency, there must be a new system, and Wei Tao is waiting for their next move.

Time is what counts.

In less than a few days, when the government was in charge, Chen Qun immediately stood up and said to Wei Tao.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, now that His Majesty is ruling the Central Plains, the world is gradually being stabilized, and the barbarians outside are gradually surrendering. However, the Central Plains cannot be ruled without government. The minister is stupid. He should not talk about the important affairs of the government. However, seeing the world without government, he felt anxious and stayed overnight. Worry, I have this policy, please see your majesty, if your majesty can read it, I will be very fortunate."

"Changwen is an important minister of our court, and what he said is also reasonable. My original intention is to set the world for the first time, and it is not easy to make big changes, so the Han system is extended. However, the Han system is not complete, otherwise it will not lose the world because of it, and let the people of the Central Plains fall into a trap In the midst of water and fire, now that Changwen has something to think about, I must think about it carefully."

What Chen Qun played was nothing else, it was indeed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

Wei Tao didn't know the specifics of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System in history, but he didn't dare Chen Qun to play the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, but he knew that it was indeed taking care of the interests of the aristocratic family.

Needless to say about other aspects, the key point is to divide talents into nine grades. The basis includes all aspects, including one's talent and appearance, but the most important one is family background.

Those without family background are not allowed to go up to the sixth rank. The higher the family background, the higher the requirements. If it is the top three ranks, it must be the top rich family.

And not only that, the rank is still related to the size of the official position. The higher the rank, the higher the official position you can get. If you don't reach the rank, you can't be an official.

As for those who do not enter the first three ranks, there is no possibility of entering the center.

In this way, the entire government can be said to be occupied by the family. Even a talented person from a poor family may be able to hold an official position, but he is a small official, unless he can transform his family into a family and pass on his poems and books to the family. , After several lifetimes of accumulation, it is finally available.

This is the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System. Wei Tao was already prepared in his heart, but he was still amazed by it after looking carefully.

Yes, it's amazing. In Wei Tao's opinion, this is actually very subtle, especially what Chen Qun said in it.

Indeed, as Chen Qun said in his letter, most of the elites in the world are in aristocratic families, and at this time, it can be said that all the elites are in aristocratic families.

Moreover, although the children of the aristocratic family are dudes, of course they are corrupt and accept bribes, but the same is true for the children of the poor family, and if this is the case, the harm will be even more serious than the children of the aristocratic family.

In this way, it is indeed impossible to be careless.

It is true that Wei Tao also has the imperial examination in his hands, but to be honest, most of the candidates for the imperial examination are actually selected from among the children of aristocratic families. How many of those from poor families can achieve this with their so-called talents?
"Perhaps the overall nine-rank Zhongzheng system is not possible, but if it can be integrated and transformed, it may not be impossible."

After pondering for a while, Wei Tao thought so. Of course, this does not mean that Wei Tao surrendered to the world's aristocratic family. After all, the aristocratic family's meaning is very clear, that is, to occupy all the positions in the imperial court, and to be able to maintain them for generations.

But Wei Tao has to implement a balanced strategy, not only because he wants to give the poor and talented people a way out, but more importantly, because he wants to exercise power in the world, naturally there needs to be a balance.

Blindly relying on the big clan, as time goes by, may give them a chance to be replaced by a superior. At that time, there will be a chaos in the Central Plains, and they will compete with each other. Wei Tao will not allow this.

As for not using an aristocratic family, that is a completely stupid strategy, a way of tabooing diseases and avoiding medical treatment. Wei Tao is not fatuous yet, so naturally he would not act like this.

"Order Chen Qun, Zhou Yu and other ministers to come immediately!"

After careful consideration, Wei Tao brought over a dozen of his most important advisers here. I have to say that after careful calculation, they may have been poor when they first came out to follow his family. Unknowingly, these people have become aristocratic families behind them, and even if they are not the top, their strength should not be underestimated.

"Actually, why isn't the current Wei family like this? The so-called suppressing the family is suppressing itself, how is it possible? Of course, it is not good to let it reach out to the country at will. There is absolutely no reason to let the family control the court. Even though I know that there is no kingdom of eternity, is it really feasible to give the aristocratic family the power of the dynasty?"

At the end of talking to himself, Wei Tao showed a slight sarcasm.

Soon, more than a dozen important officials Qi Qi came here, and after seeing the ceremony, they sat down in line according to Wei Tao's order.

"I have read the book on the long article today, and then I thought about it carefully. My original intention was not like this, but after reading it deeply, I changed my mind. Today, I have invited all the counselors here to discuss my future. The strategy of all ages!"

Hearing Wei Tao's straightforward words, everyone including Chen Qun looked at each other in blank dismay, but they felt that Wei Tao's changes were too fast this time.

After following Wei Tao for a long time, they naturally know that Wei Tao is also a hero with a firm heart, and such a hero should not change his mind easily.

"I don't know what His Majesty's intention is now?"

At this time, even if Chen Qun proposed the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, it was not good for him to speak, but Zhou Yu was allowed to speak. In any case, Zhou Yu always had a little more buffer to speak.

"The strategy of Changwen, we actually know that there may be inappropriate bias in it, but it can be regarded as the best method. The family, the country, and the world, but as a person, you should first reach the family and the country, and then you can reach the world. No matter whether it is from an aristocratic family or from a poor family, is it not the case, on the other hand, if it has reached the country and the world, it must also be the family! But there should be limits in everything, I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

This is actually Zhou Yu's explanation for Chen Qunzhi's strategy, and most of the other advisers nodded slightly in agreement.

"That's right, that's the case, but this strategy only divides people from aristocratic families and poor families, but it's not meant to divide people. People have different talents, but people from aristocratic families, even dull people, are nobler than elites from poor families. Isn't that true? Why is it ridiculous?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, but he knew that in fact, the Jin Dynasty in history was divided into nine ranks, in fact, it was divided into people, and when the official system was expanded at the beginning, it was to make people from aristocratic families the masters, and even if ordinary poor children No matter how talented you are, people don't pay attention to it. Not to mention being an official, people also have their own distinctions.

This is what Wei Tao does not want.

"As the saying goes, born in sorrow and die in peace, if you only use people from aristocratic families, it will be a big mistake for the country!"

"I wonder what His Majesty is thinking?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu and the others were not in a hurry, and what Wei Tao said was not unreasonable. Born in adversity and died in peace, this is the principle of the great way. Zhou Yu and others are also top advisers, so naturally they would not be ignorant. If you follow the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, it may indeed be beneficial to the Central Plains Dingding for a while, but in the long run, it will be disadvantageous.

Zhou Yu and others are all extraordinary people. Although they have family worries, they will not delay the country's major affairs because of family affairs. It's just that even if Chen Qun's nine-rank Zhongzheng system has future troubles, it is still an excellent policy.

There is no perfect policy in class in the world, so for the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, Zhou Yu and others still agree after some discussions.

But that's about it.

"Now I have a method called the Imperial Examination, which is to open the examination room widely, use the Tao of Confucius and Mencius to examine the talents' talents, and then use their talents and virtues to benevolent officials!"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, seeing everyone's astonishment when they heard it for the first time, Wei Tao immediately followed one of them.

"In the past, Cao Cao and I both acted on the basis of talents, but even so, we can't make the best of our talents. If we don't test our talents, we often can't do them. The world. People in the world regard the way of Confucius and Mencius as their way, so I should study the way of Confucius and Mencius. If I can’t understand even this, I will naturally have no ability to be an official! I don’t know what my strategy is?”

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Zhou Yu and the others frowned and thought deeply. They immediately understood that this strategy is indeed a good one, and for the aristocratic family, it may not necessarily lose to the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.

But again, this method is not perfect.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu looked around and still had to ask.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, if he is not extremely talented, he may be a useless Confucian scholar! And if this policy is implemented, how can Your Majesty ensure that there is no favoritism or fraud?"
