Chapter 474 Li Er who was hit hard
After a while, Li Er recovered from surprise, then thought for a while and spoke again: "Now the aristocratic family is too big to lose. I want to solve it from the root. How do you feel?"
"The power of the aristocratic families is too great, and it will not take a long time to deal with them overnight, so don't be anxious." Li Yu of course knew the disadvantages of this aristocratic family, but the country does not have a large reserve of talents. Even if all the current aristocratic families are destroyed, there will be a new aristocratic family in hundreds of years.
"I need a substantial blow to the aristocratic court. Is there any way?" Li Er asked at Li Yu with a look of hope. The omnipotence given to him by this man. After seeing all the incredible things just now, is there anything else that will inevitably stump him?
Li Yu answered, but asked: "The existence of aristocratic families is indeed omnipresent. All industries can affect them and often affect the decisions of the court. I wonder what method you can use to deal with them?"
Li Er pondered for a moment when he heard Li Yu's question, and soon spoke: "The reason why aristocratic families can affect all aspects of the Tang Dynasty is that most of the ministers in the court have almost the shadow of aristocratic families. If you want to solve this problem, the best way is to promote some officials who are from civilians and have little to do with the aristocratic families."
Li Yu did not respond, and Li Er continued: "It just so happened that my Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty's imperial examination system. If it could be used well, it could slowly replace those officials from aristocratic families."
Hearing Li Er’s thoughts, Li Yu couldn’t help but shook his head gently. His current thinking is very correct. At first glance, it sounds very reasonable, but there are only a few scholars from poor families. For the sake of their future, most of the scholars from poor families will eventually get entangled with the aristocratic families.
There is no talent reserve, it is all castles in the air. The main reason why the court now has no verbal words. The people's news is basically obtained from aristocratic families. In addition, the current emperor's thoughts are suppressing the thoughts of ordinary people. The idea that the more ignorant the people are, the more stable the country is, the more the truth and reality are often the opposite. The more ignorant the people are, they are also ignorant in distinguishing right and wrong, and are easily provoked by those who are interested.
"Why, do you think this method is not feasible?" Li Er also noticed that Li Yu didn't say anything, and asked in surprise. This was one of the best methods he could think of intent. Although the effect was slower, it was at least very effective, and could even completely break the monopoly of the aristocratic family over the officials of the court.
"It's not a question of whether it's possible." Li Yu shook his head and said, "You forgot that the schools you can run are usually aristocratic families. Many poor families still have trouble with aristocratic families. You have no talent reserves, and the loopholes in the imperial examination are too big, so you can't do it for the time being."
Don’t think that the imperial examination is omnipotent. In fact, the imperial examinations during the Tang Dynasty cannot even be considered a real imperial examination. This can be seen from the origins of the prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty. Most of these prime ministers are related to aristocratic families. Even after experiencing the attacks of Li Er and Wu Zetian, the prime ministers during the middle and late Tang Dynasty were still controlled by the aristocratic families. This shows that the imperial examinations did not have the effect they deserved.
"The loophole is too big? I know that there are indeed many loopholes to exploit in the imperial examination, but as long as you pay attention to it in the future, it should not affect the overall situation, right?" Li Er asked in disbelief.
Li Er is proficient in government affairs, but after all, he is still the thoughts of the ancients, and his vision is still in the era of family, country and world.
"Okay, then I'll give two examples. The first is who will you send to preside over the imperial examination when the imperial examination is held? How many of these people have something to do with the aristocratic families? In addition, before the imperial examination, the examiners who took the examination needed to submit papers to the powerful and powerful people in Chang'an City. Only with the support of these powerful people can these candidates pass the exam. After all, you can see the names during the imperial examination. Just read the examiners' hearts and they can have a high school gold list!"
Li Yu paused for a moment and smiled and said, "Even if you use a name for a name, the fundamental problem is that the country's literacy rate is too low."
"Huming!" Li Er didn't hear what Li Yu was saying, but Huming remained in his heart.
Thinking of the various benefits brought by the name of the name, Li Er couldn't sit still. He stood up, turned around and said excitedly: "Your method of being a good one. OK!"
"Even if you use the name of the name, you will only reduce the amount of cheating. The fundamental problem of the aristocratic family still cannot be solved." Li Yu directly poured a basin of cold water.
"You, you, won't you make me happy and pour cold water on me for a while?" Li Er laughed.
Li Yu raised his face and scolded, "I'm afraid you will be complacent and don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."
"Hello, Lai is my brother-in-law, don't hit people like this, okay!" Li Er looked helpless.
Concubine Yang saw that His Majesty, who was now in front of the ministers, was majestic and serious, but what he said in front of Li Yu was worthless, and he was often scolded by him.
And judging from his indifferent expression, there is probably a way to solve the troubles in the court, but they just don’t want to help.
Li Er picked up the teacup and got a cup by himself. After drinking it, he said, "If you are the emperor of the world, how would you solve this problem?"
"If I were the emperor, I could make the Tang Dynasty's strength at least one hundred times richer than it is now in ten years." Li Yu said: "What's more, I don't want to replace all the officials in a year and remove the roots of the aristocratic family. Do you believe it?"
"Impossible, is it that the emperor I am so bad?" Li Er was deeply hit. But he also knew that the other party could do it.
Li Yu ignored Li Er who was hit, took out a cigarette, gave him one, and a flame appeared on his finger to light the cigarette.
"Your finger can produce flames, it's really good to light a cigarette." Li Er took a deep breath and smiled.
Li Yu took a breath and spit out several heart-shaped smoke rings, ignoring Li Er's flattery and having fun there.
"If I give you a place, can the quality of life of the people be 50 times higher in three years?" Li Er asked carefully.
Li Yu stared at him for a short while and said, "One hundred times can be easily achieved. Do you think I will put down my identity and become a bullshit local official?"
Li Er smiled awkwardly and said, "Just help! It's up to us, we are also relatives."
Li Yu shook his head and said earnestly: "It is the development of a land of One Dao that has exceeded the Tang Dynasty's tens of times, and it will decline after hundreds of years. This is a system problem and there is no solution."
Li Er knew that he would not be born as an official at all, so he did not dare to continue asking questions. He was afraid of being beaten, so he hurriedly turned the topic to dealing with the aristocratic family.
"I want to improve the scientific research system..."
"Stop!" Li Ergang talked about the problem of improvement, and Li Yu directly interrupted: "Improving the imperial examination will not solve the fundamental problem."
Li Yu said again: "I will tell you a realistic problem. Even if you can solve the loopholes in the imperial examination system in the future, where do those civilians come from? You should know that studying is not something that ordinary people can afford. In addition to aristocratic families, there are probably only some businessmen and wealthy families who can make their children afford to read. Moreover, if a scholar is knowledgeable, he must become a disciple. Those knowledgeable scholars are even born in aristocratic families. Those civilians become their students. The relationship between teachers and students alone is enough to make them mark the aristocratic family!"
Seeing that Li Er had nothing to say, Li Yu continued: "The fundamental problem is that those aristocratic families monopolize cultural knowledge. If this problem is not solved, you will never be able to solve the problem of aristocratic families."
After listening to the analysis, Li Er finally knew the fundamental problem and sat on the sofa and remained silent.
After a while, Li Er stood up and asked, "You must have a solution, right?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "Yes! It's very simple. As long as you have twenty future academies of the same size, the influence of aristocratic families will be reduced ten times in ten years, and they will basically not have any influence in a few decades."
After listening, Li Er was half short and said depressedly: "Aren't you teasing me? There are ten future academies like students, and I can solve the family problems within ten years, but where can I attract so many students."
Li Yu smiled and said, "By the way? This is not to find the problem. Improving the literacy rate of the people is the key, but talent cultivation takes a long time, you need to be mentally prepared."
"I understand this." Li Er looked solemn.
"By the way, cultivate more professional talents, don't always cultivate talents who can only write articles, otherwise there will be an embarrassing situation where there are too many officials and no place to arrange them in the future." Li Yu knew that after the Song Dynasty, there was an embarrassing situation where a large number of officials could not arrange them, but there was an extremely lack of professional talents.
"Brother-in-law, what is a professional talent?" Yang Fei asked while sitting on the side.
"Steel, chemical industry, civil engineering, bridge, agriculture, animal husbandry, military..." Li Yu said dozens of professional talents in one breath.
"I don't know if I don't listen. I didn't expect that there are so many talents?" Li Er was amazed.
Li Yu continued to attack Li Er and said: "This is still a talent for big majors, and there are also small professional talents. For example, steel is divided into dozens of majors, non-ferrous metals, metallurgy, mining, geological prospecting, machinery..."
Li Er's face changed drastically: "I beg you to stop talking. I have never heard of many talents you said. I am afraid that if I continue to listen, I will not even want to do the emperor and have no confidence."
After hearing what Li Yu had hit him, Li Er closed his eyes and sighed. The strange talents he was talking about were impossible to do within decades. But in addition to using imperial examinations to restrict the aristocratic families, he really thought that there were no useful methods. There were so many professional talents, and he couldn't tell the so-called, if the college was built, the teachers would come from.
Seeing Li Er's frustrated look, Li Yu smiled and pondered for a moment before speaking again: "Actually, you don't have to be too anxious. When Yue State destroyed Wu, it took ten years to gather together. Ten years to teach you a lesson. You are so young now, so don't have to worry about not having enough time. I have provided you with so many high-yield crops. As long as the people do not have to worry about food anymore, they can vigorously promote education, establish village and county schools, etc. Only by mastering education in the hands of the court, the influence of the aristocratic families will gradually be weakened!"
