Looking at the workshop in the distance, Guo Peng slowly shook his head.

"I thought about it a long time ago, but to accomplish such a thing, it requires corresponding strength. Without strength, just talking about goals and just talking big talk."

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand and smiled: "With that being said, this is the first step, and the second step will face more obstacles. It is not enough to have papermaking and printing. What we need is strong execution."

"It is not only necessary to allow the children of the strong to be inherited from their knowledge, but also to implement the policies of their fathers at the grassroots level in the local areas, so that the children of the common people can read! And the ultimate goal is to allow the children of the common people to read!"

Guo Jin was very excited.

"Yes, but this is too difficult, A Jin, this is not something you can do with just talking about it."

Guo Peng asked Guo Jin to sit down, and then said seriously: "Reading is never an easy thing. If you leave out all the problems, first of all, those who study have no time to work, that is, those who study have to be out of business and not farm.

With the financial resources of a commoner's family, it is extremely difficult to support a scholar who does not farm and only eat. The grain output and family wealth are difficult to support their study and study. If a commoner's family wants to have enough food, the children will have to go to the fields to farm when they are eleven or twelve years old. They will work hard for a lifetime, otherwise they will go hungry."

"What should I do if this...? The government paid to help them so that they could let their children study?"

Guo Jin asked tentatively.

"The government must pay for help, otherwise it will be impossible for children from common people to study, books, tuition fees, etc. We have to pay for them, and even subsidize their food. Those who study can get the food provided by the government, so that the civil servants can ensure that the civil servants do not go bankrupt."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "However, this is a huge burden and expenditure on the finances. If you invest such a fund, first of all, it is worth discussing whether our finances can afford them. No one knows the specific amount.

Moreover, in this way, there will be no results in a short period of time, and it will take at least several years to achieve results. In this way, it will inevitably be blocked and fought by the scholars. With various means, they will never sit still and wait for death.

Although they are intimidated by their prestige as a father, they may not dare to act openly, but if they are not here, it is hard to say how the nobles of Qi treated the scholars in the Jixia Academy back then, and in the future, these scholars will treat the people in our school.

Therefore, A Jin, not only should you adhere to this policy for your father, but you should also win over the powerful people with certain strength, so that the powerful people can also spontaneously safeguard the policy of being a father, and maintain the imperial examinations. You should also let the powerful people know that the imperial examinations are the foundation for them to fight against scholars."

"I will stick with it, father, I will stick with it!"

Guo Jin immediately made a guarantee.

Guo Peng shook his head.

"You will naturally persist because this is something you must do. To stabilize the throne and make the country of Wei permanent, it is necessary to do so. However, it is hard to say whether you can take over for your father and do these things. It is really hard to say, because even for your father, you are not sure whether you can do it."

"But my father, this must be done. Whether it can be done or not, it must be done. We have no way out, right?"

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng.

At this moment, Guo Peng suddenly saw himself from Guo Jin.

So Guo Peng smiled a little.

"Yes, it must be done no matter what, so what my father most hopes is to set up primary schools in the village, township schools in the village, and county schools in the county, so that the children of the common people can study and grow in these three-level institutions. After graduating from county schools, they can take the imperial examinations, and then the outstanding ones can be elected as officials."

Guo Peng said to Guo Jin enthusiastically: "This is still an immature design. It is a preliminary idea for the father. The children of the strong and the children of the civil servants can have the knowledge that they are not inferior to those of the gentry through these three levels of study. Both sides compete on the same stage to compete for the top and bottom. In the end, the advantage of the number of people will no longer exist."

"This... is really OK! If the scholars lose their advantage, the scholars will naturally not continue to exist. No one can compete for power and profit with the emperor. At that time, the mountains and rivers of the Wei Dynasty will inevitably be stable."

Guo Jin was very happy.

As a result, Guo Peng shook his head again.

"It's not so. After A Jin lost the advantages of blood inheritance and official positions, scholars naturally no longer existed. But at that time, the main contradiction in the entire Wei State was not the contradiction between scholars and powerful people, but would become the contradiction between kings and people and people again."

The excitement on Guo Jin's face disappeared suddenly, and his face gradually became serious.

He remembered what Guo Peng said to him before.

"This is what my father said. The whole world is constantly changing, everything is dynamically balanced, everything will change over time, and will not remain unchanged?"

"Yes, the third step of reform, the third step after the successful imperial examination is to deal with the changes after the disappearance of scholars. The scholars disappeared, but what they had to do would not disappear. The original powerful and civilians became new people through the imperial examination, and they would continue to do what the scholars had done."

Guo Peng nodded: "No matter when, such a thing will not end. Since you have become an emperor, there is no way out. If you do not maintain the dynamic balance of this world, our Wei Kingdom will still follow the old path of the Han Dynasty.

The only difference is that they must rely on the imperial examination to obtain official positions, but cannot continue to inherit the hereditary official positions through their bloodlines. They are no longer nobles, and their status can be replaced at any time rather than irreplaceable.

Therefore, they can no longer threaten the emperor, but they will still ask the emperor for power in the central government and embezzle land and population in the local area. What they do will not change, and will always be like this.

As kings, we need to constantly suppress old bureaucrats and promote new bureaucrats. When the new bureaucrats get old, we will suppress old ones and promote new ones. This cycle will continue to maintain a balance in the dynamics. If this balance cannot be maintained, it will still be dead and destroyed."

Once upon a time, scholars paid a heavy price to break the bloodline of the pre-Qin nobles.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars created a prosperous and cultural tradition in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. A hundred schools of thought contend, and eventually relied on Qin to seize the qualification to be an official from the nobles, and completed the first academic shift, changing the situation of learning in the government.

However, to the present, the scholars have transformed themselves into new nobles, even more nobles than the nobles. They do exactly the same things as those nobles of the bloodline at the time, even more so, turning official schools into family schools and private schools, and they are still closed.

What they did and the attitude they held were the culprits that brought the Han people into the long four hundred years of night. Until the Tang Dynasty, the remaining poisons of the gentry were still slowly eroding the vitality of the Tang Dynasty.

The scholars used hundreds of years of troubled times in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to defeat the nobles, and the common people also used the longer and even the more chaotic years of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to defeat the scholars.

How bloody and long this process is.

Guo Jin understood what Guo Peng meant.

"So, father, this third step will never end?"

Guo Peng nodded.
