Chapter 69 Family disputes, balance

The winter sun in the yard is shining brightly, falling on the old and the young, warming the body and mind of the two.

Shu An enjoyed this warmth, but Li Shimin did not feel this way at this time, but was worried about the affairs of the aristocratic family.

"The nobles in Longxi, the geniuses in Shandong, and the Chinese in Jiangnan are actually not without disputes."

I don’t know how long it has passed, Shu An’s eyes flashed and said softly, “If you count it, it should be the peak time for Shandong gentry.

As for the Longxi nobles, their peak period should be during the Sui Dynasty, because Yang Jian himself came from the Longxi Group.

Of course, if you count it carefully, the Longxi nobles have emerged four emperors, the four dynasties of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties.

However, when it was prosperous and declined, the Longxi nobles could not escape this law, especially Emperor Yang of Sui suppressed the Longxi nobles and supported other gentry.

This is just a treatment of symptoms but not root causes. Although the Longxi nobles are still among the first in the world, they obviously have a tendency to decline.

If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Both the Shandong nobles and the Chinese in Jiangnan have the strength to fight against the Longxi nobles, and even the Shandong nobles have further suppressed the Longxi nobles.

Otherwise, this time the clan would not be led by the Shandong gentry Cui clan. Of course, there are also many conflicts and disputes among aristocratic families.

After the words came to his voice, Li Shimin's eyes were slightly lit. Shu An's meaning was clear, that was, to balance the power of the court with the help of confrontation between aristocratic families.

But what to do is a question. You should know that Cui now only has a sixth-rank official in the court.

These aristocratic families have no intention of contributing to the court at all, and even restrict the court in some places.

"If you want to limit the aristocratic family, then start with this clan."

"Although Shimin's idea is good, he lacks some considerations after all."

"If we follow Zhao Shimin's idea, the Cui clan in Shandong may be ranked third."

"This will only make the aristocratic families less willing to become officials. Now most of the books are still in the hands of the aristocratic families."

Shu An continued to speak with his eyes flashing. Although Li Shimin's method suppressed the aristocratic family, his methods were too sharp.

"If that's not the case, then what should I do?"

Li Shimin fell into doubt and said, not knowing what this father Ya wanted to say. Of course, he also wanted to admit that what his father Ya was telling the truth.

It is mainly because of the limitations of knowledge that poor families are unable to produce noble children. Most of these are controlled by the aristocratic families.

"The clan is not impossible according to the ideas of the people."

"It's just that one more can be added, and it takes twenty years to go on, and the clan can change according to changes in official positions."

Shu'an's voice continued to sound, but in fact, the aristocratic families were ultimately the best of this era.

Even Shu An has to admit that it takes a lot of time for poor families to accumulate to be comparable to the children of aristocratic families.

Of course, in Shu'an's opinion, these aristocratic families are also good help. If the Tang Dynasty wants to create a prosperous era now, they will inevitably be unable to avoid these aristocratic families.

The reason is very simple. At least 30% of the wealth in the whole world is in the hands of these aristocratic families. From this, you can imagine how much help is.

Suppression is certain, but it cannot be completely suppressed. Li Shimin only understood his father's thoughts in an instant.

However, Li Shimin then began to frown again, because if the aristocratic family entered the court, their influence would not have increased again.

"Don't underestimate these aristocratic disputes."

"The other thing is to start with the imperial examination system."

"There are too few places to be recruited in the imperial examination system now."

"It's just one place in Chang'an, and only thirty people are recruited every year."

"You can design the imperial examinations in ten ways, and you can pass the imperial examinations. If there is a vacant local minority, you can choose the best among the imperial examinations."

"After passing the Juren exam, you can enter the Chang'an exam. If you pass the Jinshi, you can be the chief official of one party."

Shu An couldn't help but express his thoughts in one breath. You should know that this was summarized by him based on this era and the situation of the imperial examination system in later generations.

Now the Tang Dynasty is divided into ten paths, each path is divided into several states, but it is obviously unrealistic to implement the imperial examination system to states.

On the one hand, it took too much manpower and material resources. Now it was just the early years of Zhenguan, even Li Shimin dared not do this, and it was acceptable to implement it to the ten expenses.

On the other hand, there is resistance from the aristocratic families. If it is implemented to ten roads, it is considered to be acceptable, which can further increase the influence of the imperial examination system.

Sure enough, when Shu An was speaking, Li Shimin was also thinking. When Shu An finished speaking, his eyes did not become very bright.

If this is the case, then there will be no one in the common people who are so big in the world, Li Shimin doesn't believe in it.

"If you can, you can create a martial arts ceremony."

Shu An continued to say, if the imperial examination was to give common people a chance to speak, then in his opinion, the martial arts examination was the way out for poor families.

The reason is very simple. The imperial examination system is a luxury for many young people from poor families, because they have no chance to read and read.

Compared with martial arts, poor children have more chances. After all, some poor children have started to take on housework since childhood. They are not very strong, and they have passed on several martial arts skills in their family, so there are still many talents.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned at first, but immediately reacted. Although there was no such precedent, it was not bad.

Especially when Li Shimin was originally born on horseback, he naturally understood the improvement of a brave man's army.

"This is considered completing the bet on that day. Whether to do it depends on yourself."

Shu'an saw Li Shimin still thinking and then started to taste the tea. Drinking a cup of hot tea in the early morning of winter is undoubtedly a pleasure in this era.

He didn't believe that Li Shimin would not be moved, and the methods were already waiting to be implemented.

Li Shimin was indeed moved in everything, but there were still many details that Li Shimin had to consider.

Li Shimin asked Shu An a few questions and left in a hurry. Obviously, he couldn't help but move after getting the method.

Shu An did not stop him. He originally wanted to let Li Shimin take the blame, but in his opinion, Li Shimin's movements were still a little smaller.

Of course, perhaps because of the limitations of the times, Li Shimin could actually make a bigger move. You should know that because of the war, the children of these aristocratic families are unwilling to enter the court to become officials.

Taking advantage of this period of time, it is enough to admit a group of poor families. Although these are unable to compete with the aristocratic families, they are undoubtedly potential forces.
