Luoyang

In a manor on the outskirts of the city, the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Xun family, the Zhong family, the Chen family...

The patriarchs or young patriarchs of each family have come here. The content of today's meeting will determine the next trend of the entire world, because together, these people here are enough to influence the development of the imperial court.

If they were really united, they could instantly depose the Liu family emperor in the imperial city. But this is almost impossible. Even during the disaster of the party's imprisonment, the aristocratic families had never been so united.

But today, they are just united on the surface to deal with Da Qin together.

Zongzheng Liu Yan sat at the head of the meeting and presided over the meeting. He represented countless people with the surname Liu and the Ling Emperor in the world. In terms of pure strength, he was naturally the strongest in the world. Even the so-called Yuan family and the Yang family together were

Not as strong as Liu's.

"Everyone, you might as well take a look at what the puppet Qin did."

Documents appeared in the hands of each family head one after another. Although these families have their own intelligence channels and have collected a lot of information about Da Qin, they are still far behind compared to the imperial court.

"Imperial examination system? Isn't this imperial examination system better for us?" the head of a certain aristocratic family suddenly said.

In the past, aristocratic families relied on marriage and connections throughout the world to decide who could become Xiaolian and who could not be Xiaolian. At the same time, they also controlled the entire world through recommendations and through their disciples and old officials.

This method cannot be said to be bad, but at least it has a bad reputation.

Many people always feel that they are very capable, and feel that the reason why they cannot become an official is not because they are incompetent, but because they are not from a noble family.

But they don’t want to think about it, why should you compete with the aristocratic family in terms of personal ability? What kind of education did the aristocratic family receive since childhood? How about you?

It is difficult for you to even study, but Shijiazi can easily read hundreds of books. It is difficult for you to even leave your hometown a hundred miles away, but Shijiazi can easily visit all over the country. You have to wait until the Chinese New Year to even eat a meal of meat.

But the family members can eat meat easily and exercise every day.

Even if you have a little bit of psychology, you won't blame others, but the most numerous people in the world are mud-legged people who feel good about themselves...

"With this method, even if it is a public imperial examination, we can occupy more than 90% of the officials with high scores, and others will have nothing to say."

In this era, poor people despise books and have no channels to learn.

If in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty when the imperial examination was popular, there were private schools everywhere in the countryside. As long as you were willing to work hard, you would at least have a chance to study. However, in the Han Dynasty, you could not find a chance to study even if you worked hard.

It is even conceivable that once the imperial examination system is really spread across the world, the monopoly of knowledge by aristocratic families will definitely reach a higher level!

"Ahem, have you carefully observed the document in our hands? The same characters have exactly the same structure and size. What does this mean?" the head of the Zhong family suddenly said.

Huh? Really??

The heads of other aristocratic families verified and observed again, and then nodded. They also realized the seriousness of the problem, which shows that the Han Dynasty, no, the Qin Dynasty has long mastered this method of printing books on a large scale.

"Well, it's just like the seal, exactly the same."

"This is woodblock printing and movable type printing. These two printing techniques plus papermaking can easily produce thousands of identical books. This is a grand event for the great prosperity of culture and education."

But it is also the scene that aristocratic families least want to see. With papermaking and printing, books will become worthless, and it will be difficult to continue to monopolize them, because printing is really not difficult in terms of technology. Just find a stonemason.

Can complete carvings, even if the stonemason himself is illiterate!

After realizing this scene, the faces of the heads of the aristocratic families became ugly. Whether they were elites or idiots, their stance was the same. They were the ruling class of the Han Dynasty. For them, the world would never change and maintaining the status quo was

the best.

If they want to change, they have to change in a direction that is beneficial to them. But now it seems that the imperial examination system is a super poison with a shiny surface.

After flipping through page after page, the family heads quickly saw the military merit title, and the words "Bao Qin" blurted out instantly. What do noble families rely on? Is it by force? Of course not, they rely on knowledge.

inherited!

If you have military honors and everyone in the world is proud of fighting, how can the aristocratic families promote themselves, brag about themselves, and flatter each other? Do they have to go to the battlefield before they can flatter each other in the future?

Half an hour later, after seeing the changes in Jizhou, the family heads had all kinds of things on their minds, but their expressions on the surface remained the same, and they were all silent.

Those who want to seek refuge in Da Qin must remain silent, fearing that others will see what they are thinking, and then they will not be able to get out of this gate.

Those who want to support the Han Dynasty and are willing to provide more manpower and food to support the imperial court are unwilling to show any expression at this moment. Even if I am willing to support the imperial court, your imperial court must also provide some benefits?

Needless to say, which one is more valued, the one given to someone on a pole or the one that someone begs for hard for?

bang bang

After clapping his hands, Liu Yan pointed to a family member next to him: "This is Wei Zhongdao, the legitimate son of the Wei family in Hedong. Now, I would like to ask Zhongdao's nephew to tell us about the experience of the Wei family."

At this moment, Wei Zhongdao was completely drained of energy and looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His face was pale. After Liu Yan finished speaking, he slowly raised his head, then took off his shirt with a brush, revealing his naked body.

Chest.

"ah!"

"This scar looks very fresh and is still located on the chest. Who did this?"

"It looks like a stab wound. This stab was really cruel."

"It seems that nephew Zhongdao is very lucky, and his heart is different from ordinary people. Otherwise, even gods would not be able to save him with this knife."

"Uncles and uncles, please be courteous."

After bowing, Wei Zhongdao began to be miserable. In fact, it was not miserable, because the Wei family was really miserable: "My Wei family has been inherited for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, I dare not say that I founded the Han Dynasty."

No matter how much great efforts we have made, we still have no problem guarding Hedong and protecting the people's health."

"I usually build bridges and roads and do good to others. In the whole of Hedong, whenever my Wei family is mentioned, there is no one without praise, but this time I encountered Bao Qin! Bao Qin directly used their Qin methods to judge the Wei family, saying that the Wei family was indifferent to human life.

, one thing appears on the surface but another in reality, and I don’t know how many people have been forced to death. This is pure slander!”

When he said the word slander, Wei Zhongdao looked extremely sad and angry, and tears of grievance were about to fall. He took out his sleeve and rubbed it against his eyes. When he smelled the pungent smell, the tears really flowed down.

Looking at this scene, no matter what everyone was thinking in their hearts, on the surface they all pretended to be sad, indignant, and serious. The Wei family is in such a miserable state, so it’s so disrespectful of you to laugh at him in front of his face.

?

"As a result, there are hundreds of people in our Wei family, and no one is innocent! From the eighty-year-old old man to the newborn baby, everyone is guilty!"

"All the legitimate sons, if they don't plead guilty or surrender, will be put to death. Even if they plead guilty, they will be demoted to slaves. At best, they will survive."

"The old man died during the resistance, my uncles died, my father also died, my mother committed suicide, and my sister was demoted as a slave. I fled all the way and was killed by a knife in the end. If I hadn't been lucky,

You can’t come here at all.”

The Hedong Wei family is finished!

Such a powerful Wei family was finished like this!

The Wei family, which was once extremely prosperous and powerful, with tens of thousands of tenants, thousands of private soldiers and nearly one million acres of land, is over!

"The Gao family in Bohai is finished, and the Wei family in Hedong is finished. This pseudo-Qin really doesn't take our family seriously!"

At this moment, many heads of the aristocratic families were angry, because they could not see clearly what Da Qin's approach was, and they dared to abandon the aristocratic families. Not only did they say so, but Da Qin actually did it!

Do you know the power of aristocratic families?

How can you govern such a big country without relying on us?

The imperial examination system, papermaking, and printing. After thinking of these three words, the heads of the families felt as if someone had poured cold water on them from scratch.

Could it be that the era of the aristocratic family has passed like this?

no!

Absolutely not!

"I, the Chen family, are willing to send a thousand private soldiers and fifty thousand dan of food to support the imperial court in suppressing the rebellion."

"The Zhong family is willing to provide a thousand private soldiers and thirty thousand dan of food!"

"The Yuan family is willing to provide three thousand private soldiers and one hundred thousand dan of food!"

"The Yang family is willing to provide four thousand private soldiers and eighty thousand dan of food!"

Each of the family heads expressed their opinions on the spot, some sent thousands of private soldiers, some even sent out hundreds of private soldiers and tens of thousands of dan of food. Together, there were 100,000 private soldiers and millions of dan of food.

The physical fitness of these private soldiers is excellent, with an average weight of thirty kilograms of muscle. They also have a good personal foundation. After rigorous military training, it only takes one month to become an elite soldier ready for the battlefield.

.

If it is used as the backbone to lead the new with the old, it can easily pull out an army of 300,000 or even 500,000. It looks like a lot of powerful people, but Liu Yan knows that the aristocratic families have not shown their true wealth, at least those

The aristocratic families in the blessed land have only provided a drop in the bucket.

Why!

Suddenly Liu Yan let out a long sigh. The Qin Dynasty was coming fiercely, but the aristocratic families here in the Han Dynasty still had their own little thoughts. Even if Wei Zhongdao hadn't come out to speak out, he wouldn't even have such a thing.

"This is His Majesty's edict. The top one allows local governors to take the initiative to recruit troops to defend themselves. Facing the threat of the puppet Qin, the governors are allowed to recruit soldiers to train soldiers, make armors, and weapons. They even allow the governors to accept their orders for four hundred stones.

Officials below only need to report to the court afterwards, and the court will endorse the prefect and allow them to accept their fate."

At this moment, the originally noisy quiet room suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin falling, and you could hear the sudden rapid breathing of the family heads!

what does that mean?

It means legal separatism!

This means that from now on, the place will be completely out of the control of the imperial court!

It means that everyone’s opportunity has come!
Chapter completed!
