After Guo Jin calmed down and thought about this matter carefully, he felt that this was actually a good thing.

Guo Peng once said that when your power is greater than that of your subordinates, your subordinates will take the initiative to praise you, please you, and say some flattering words to you.

This proves that you are on the right path.

If your power is not as powerful as your subordinates, you will only express your praise and say good things to you if you have any problems. You will definitely be secretly sarcastic and ridiculing you.

Is there anyone around you to curry favor with you and say some nice words of flattery, and whether there is a flatterer around me is one of the important criteria for whether an emperor is qualified or not.

Those scholars always say that the emperor must be surrounded by people who dare to speak out against others, and that is the truly wise emperor.

Guo Jin once thought this was right, and then he was slapped on the head by Guo Peng.

"There are not even a person who flatters you. If you are a person, you dare to step on your head and point fingers at you. Are you embarrassed to say that you are the emperor? Which emperor are you? Is Shanyang Gong?"

This slap woke Guo Jin up at that time.

He got out of the trap set by the scholars in time and followed Guo Peng's footsteps, believing that there must be a certain number of flatterers around him to be considered a truly powerful emperor.

And when those who were quick-working in the past also began to flatter and show loyalty, it proved that the power of your emperor was already very great, and no one could compete with it.

It is obvious that all the famous and surnamed people in the court have submitted memorials to celebrate Guo Peng's victory, and none of them have been pulled down, which is enough to prove that Guo Peng's prestige and power have both stood at the top.

He has the prestige and power to decide the world with just one word.

Guo Jin couldn't help but remember what his father said to him before going to war.

My father's personal command was to push his prestige and power to the top, relying on this prestige and power to do things that he always wanted to do but always felt that the time was not right.

Promote the existence of punctuation marks, promote the great revolution of punctuation marks, and forcibly end the dispute between ancient and modern literature and family law.

Unify academics, unify thoughts, take back the peak of culture from the private hands to the government, turn private schools into public schools, and all the power of interpretation of knowledge belongs to the central government and the government, and from then on, the matter of "disciples and former officials all over the world" has occurred again.

Let the families who try to monopolize academics and the power derived from academics with classical interpretation powers destroyed, and all those who have such ideas will never have the opportunity to do so again.

The imperial examination was abolished and the imperial examination was changed. From then on, all officials across the country were selected to adopt the examination method. In addition to making military merits and giving them wives and children, no recommendations or hereditary ones were allowed, and examinations were used as the standard.

Test his literary talent and moral character, and use this as the standard.

No matter whether they are from aristocratic families, poor families, or ordinary people, they have the same qualifications to participate in the exam and open up the upward channel. Although it is still narrow and unstable, this channel has been opened.

It was opened up like never before.

This is what Guo Peng wants to do with prestige and power.

Guo Jin took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the passion in his heart.

My father made too many preparations for the arrival of this day.

The secret workshop hidden among the mountains of Bingzhou, the mountains of paper books, mature technology that can form production lines, was my father's preparation.

A sufficient number of train camp children controlled by my father and Linzi camp with tentacles all over the country are also the father's preparation.

Enough money, strong enough army, vast enough grassroots government, and sufficient number of grassroots officials, all are ready to form the cornerstone of the stability of the entire country.

In the name of sweeping away corrupt officials, we free up some official positions for our own people, so that our own people can gain more power, control more grassroots power positions, and hollow out the foundations of the gentry.

Praising the gentry and making them a castle in the air makes them lose their foundation in a state of complacentness, further lose the power to fight against Guo Peng's absolute power, and thus lose the monopoly position they rely on for their living.

Then, the Emperor of Wei was the real emperor, the only one who talked about it.

When the ministers were excited for the dream of the coming prosperous era.

When the people celebrate each other for the coming golden age.

When a person with bad intentions faces Guo Peng's strength and extremely desperate.

At this time, what Guo Jin was thinking was no longer different from what Guo Peng thought.

Everything that victory could cover was in his eyes. He couldn't help but imagine what kind of grand occasion it would be for the Wei Empire if his father succeeded.

Everyone has equal opportunities to study, and everyone has equal opportunities to participate in the exam.

The court can select real talents through exams, rather than those bastards who rely on their fathers and ancestors or other nepotism to enter the court.

Only with a wider selection of people can the emperor have greater bargaining power, and everything will no longer be decided by the scholars, and scholars cannot cover up the sky and manipulate public opinion.

However, Guo Peng told Guo Jin everything, and the only thing he didn't tell Guo Jin was that the father and son were not historical trends.

The original historical trend is the beginning of the historical trend for scholars to reach their peak.

The only thing the scholars did wrong was that they failed to help Yuan Shao kill Guo Peng, and they failed to recognize Guo's true face in time, thus making him the emperor.

The emperor is going against the current, heading towards an unconceived road, a countercurrent with no precedent to follow, and a countercurrent that will be broken if you are not careful.

The invincible golden body can make Guo Peng steady as the emperor, but he cannot make him steady as a revolutionary.

Guo Peng nominally promoted the reform of the government as an emperor, but the core of this reform is a revolution.

This is not a power struggle within the ruling group, nor a game of power carried out by a family, but a clear revolution.

It’s just that this revolutionary’s identity happens to be the emperor, and it’s no big deal.

Scholars always thought that they were the foundation of the dynasty and the pillar of the emperor, but Guo Peng no longer regarded them as the foundation.

In Guo Peng's opinion, they are outdated and it is time to be eliminated.

Guo Peng knew very well that the Wei Empire was different from the Eastern Han Empire, and the foundation of the Wei Empire was not a scholar.

The Eastern Han Empire was established with the support of the great powers.

Without the investment of those great powers in Liu Xiu, without the investment of the Nanyang powers and the Hebei powers in Liu Xiu Group, and giving him troops, the Eastern Han Empire would not be able to be established.

From this point of view, the Eastern Han Empire established by Liu Xiu has never really penetrated into the people.

After the Baihuguan Conference, these great tyrants gradually transformed into more advanced aristocrats. By monopolizing academics, they kidnapped the Eastern Han regime in a higher-level way, becoming its [foundation].

This was not the case when the Wei Empire was established.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Guowei Group, no scholars invested. Except for Guo Peng himself, all his subordinates were not scholars.

At the beginning, the Guowei Group was completely composed of poor families and the people.

It was not until Guo Peng became the prefect of Shanggu that some scholars joined the Guo Wei Group as personal identities, and they did not bring their family resources to invest.

The first to invest in the Cao family, Xiahou family, Cheng family, and the Guo family of our family.

They invested in Guo Peng with their own wealth and life, obtained certain equity, and received generous returns.

All the rest is Guo Peng himself accumulating capital, obtaining food, resources, building an army, and strengthening the regime through military farming.

It can be said that from the beginning, Guo Wei Group has been in an absolute controlling position.

During the entire Qingzhou era, which was growing and growing, no gentry except the Guo family tried to invest resources. They all just tentatively joined the company, and at most they were technical investments, such as Xun Yu.

Because they don't think Guo Peng can laugh to the end.

Yuan Shao was strong enough, Yuan Shu was strong enough, and even Liu Biao was famous and territorial. Guo Peng did not have any advantage at the beginning, and his foundation was unstable.

Although this method brought the dilemma of insufficient talent to Guo Peng in the early days, it also prompted him to implement the lower-level strategy more simply and thoroughly.

Let him work harder to promote policies, put the tentacles of power at the lowest level, teach people to read, and implement literacy policies, and discover the first batch of people who can serve as grassroots officials in the large-scale group of people, and control the lowest level for him.

He took the people's route from the very beginning and laid a solid foundation for the Guo and Wei regime.

After the Guo Wei regime is fully mature, it will be very difficult for someone to invest, or it will be difficult to obtain decisive equity.

The foundation of the Wei Empire was that Guo Peng created a military farm system that spread all over the country.

All the soldiers, military rations, military supplies, military expenses, etc. needed to maintain the existence of the Wei Empire regime were all produced by this system, and not many great gentry and powerful people invested.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Wei Empire, Guo Peng was confident and qualified to set off political storms one after another.

Because he knew that he had an absolute controlling stake in the Wei Empire.

Most of those scholars only rely on cultural monopoly to invest in technology after the group was completed, occupying a little pitiful equity, but wanting to gain the decision-making status of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Is there such a beautiful thing in the world?

The scholars cannot be eliminated for a while, but scholars cannot use technology to monopolize against his absolute holdings.

When grassroots forces cannot compete with Guo, at most they can do it by relying on their cultural monopoly to launch a non-violent non-cooperation campaign to force Guo to make concessions.

Resignation, passive slack work, strike, sit-ins and demonstrations, etc., shut down the government and make Mr. Guo unable to do anything.

This is their biggest and only reliance. They can no longer stir up the world again. They will conspire to plan a [Yellow Turban Rebellion] to give Mr. Guo a little color.

However, the ultimate weapon to break the technical monopoly of scholars is already in the hands of Mr. Guo. In the eyes of Mr. Guo, the technical monopoly of scholars is just a joke.
