The Nameless of the Common Clans

With Chen Mo's return to the court, the world seemed to have returned to peace, but under this peace, many things were happening quietly.

After years of continuous adjustments, the Three Schools were gradually relaxed, and Chen Mo also accepted Ni Heng's suggestion. The standards for selecting disciples in the Three Schools were expanded a little from the sons of meritorious soldiers in the army. If the sons of noble families wanted to become officials, they had to enter the academy. Only with the approval of the academy could they become officials.

This was considered a partial compromise, but the voice of opposition still existed, because most of those who were willing to enter the academy to study were from the poor families of the common people. The real direct descendants were unwilling to accept this. They could have entered the official career smoothly, but now the standard set by Chen Mo was that the direct descendants had to compete with the illegitimate descendants to enter the official career, and the most important thing was that the person who finally decided the qualifications for entering the official career was Chen Mo. He was responsible for the final examination and teaching, because starting from the third year of Han Shu, academies everywhere began to use personal connections to let their own children pass the academy assessment and enter the official career, which brought a lot of influence to Chen Mo.

After discussing with Ni Heng and others, Chen Mo personally selected the candidates for the final qualification for officialdom, and all the disciples who passed Chen Mo's assessment were considered Chen Mo's disciples.

This meant that Chen Mo had the right to enter the officialdom in his hands, and the Shangshu Ling who was responsible for the specific arrangement of official positions was Li Ru, which meant that the channels for employment were completely controlled by Chen Mo.

In this way, all officials in the world came from the general's mansion, and it was difficult for the Yuan family and the Yang family to have four generations of three officials, and their students and former officials were all over the world.

Military power, employment power, and financial power were all in the hands of Chen Mo. How could everyone accept this? Therefore, the phenomenon of suppressing the children of poor families, illegitimate children, and military children began to appear in various academies, and the academies began to allow this situation to happen. The 300 students who appeared in the hall this year to accept the final assessment were almost all from aristocratic families.

"My lord, I'll go and chop them!" Dian Wei said murderously.

"They didn't break the rules, why do you chop them?" Chen Mo shook his head and frowned.

The rules were set by Chen Mo. This time, the scholars learned their lesson and did not take the initiative to break the rules. If Chen Mo took the initiative to break the rules at this time, he would be the one who would be at fault.

If he broke the rules he set, it would be even more chaotic.

"What should we do now?" Dian Wei said in astonishment.

"I didn't say that scholars are not needed." Chen Mo shook his head. Putting aside their identities, in terms of ability, the overall success rate of the disciples trained by the academy is indeed not as good as the talents trained by the aristocratic families. Occasionally, there are only a few.

Just like this time, even if Chen Mo deliberately favored one side, he only selected six talents from the poor and military families, and the number of people who were finally selected from the three hundred students who were finally tested was a total of fifty.

Is it terrible?

Not at all. Looking at the world, among all the princes, Chen Mo has the highest proportion of children from poor families.

The academy has suppressed the emergence of big families like the four generations of three officials, which is already good.

Next, Chen Mo will suppress it by various means, but he must not use force. Power is a good thing, but it can also confuse people's minds. Once indulged in it, it will get deeper and deeper, especially the power that is not bound; as a monarch, it is very important to practice not to be blinded by power, otherwise it is only a matter of time before defeat.

During this period, Chen Mo was indeed very busy because of this matter, but it was not because most of the disciples who came out of the academy were from aristocratic families. On the contrary, this method could allow more people to accept the Three Learnings.

"Okay, if you can't play this, don't worry about it, and it will get better slowly." Chen Mo stood up, put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "Let's go, accompany me for a walk."

"Yes~" Dian Wei could only agree, stood up and followed Chen Mo away.

In fact, what really bothered Chen Mo was not the Three Learnings, but the implementation of the new official law. The promotion of county and county officials in various places gave local officials a channel for promotion, which caused a serious shortage of official positions under his jurisdiction.

Everyone wanted to climb up, but there were not many vacancies. Nothing could be seen at the moment, but Chen Mo had already seen many problems. In the past month since he returned to the court, Chen Mo had received impeachments and reports from many places. Officials attacked and accused each other. If this continued, everyone in the local area would be in danger. If there were no external threats, this would not be a problem. The implementation of the new official law was also Chen Mo's long-term plan. The renewal of the officialdom would be very fast. If it entered a prosperous era, it would also be a good thing for the people of the world.

But in this situation, if everyone in the officialdom was in danger, problems would inevitably arise when fighting with the princes. Surrender, rebellion, etc. were not strange at all.

We must speed up the pace of pacifying the world!

Chen Mo walked while thinking about the current situation. He had to speed up his pace. At least the Central Plains had to be pacified as soon as possible to ease the pressure brought by the change of official administration. Once the Central Plains was settled, the remaining Jiangdong, Jingxiang and Shuzhong should be cleaned up, and there should be no problem.

Chen Mo didn't know much about naval warfare, but as long as the overall situation in the Central Plains was settled, the remaining three states would not be able to make any waves.

Thinking about this silently, Chen Mo took Dian Wei to a workshop. Unlike other workshops, this workshop was a bookshop.

"Meet the lord!" When Chen Mo arrived, Liu Yi, who was instructing the craftsmen to print books and carve rubbings, hurriedly brought everyone up to greet him.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, indicating that Liu Yi didn't need to be polite. He led Liu Yi away and asked, "Are these the books you are talking about?"

Chen Mo casually took a stack of paper from the side and flipped it through, it turned out to be a copy of Mencius.

"That's right." Liu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Although it is not as easy to store and easy to get wet as bamboo slips, it can be published quickly. If it is only used in academies, it will be enough for everyone in academies everywhere to have books. There is no need to waste too much time on carving or copying.”

Of course, bamboo slips can also be copied, but the handwriting on the bamboo slips can easily become blurred, and they will not last as long as those copied on paper.

"How long can it be stored?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"Please read, my lord." Liu Yi searched for a moment in the academy, took out a book and said, "This book has been stored here for half a year, but the handwriting has hardly changed, but the paper quality is a little worse. , if you keep following this, if a book is stored properly, it shouldn’t be a problem in three to five years.”

"That's enough." Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now everyone has accepted the use of paper to practice calligraphy. Starting from this year, books will be distributed to major academies. Disciples who are willing to use bamboo slips will continue to use bamboo slips. Those who do not have it, we can let them Use books to recite directly, and you can also send paper for disciples to practice calligraphy. "

What's the difference between the children of humble and general families and the children of aristocratic families?

One is the growing environment and knowledge from childhood, but these things can be made up for later in life. The other reason is that it is not easy to study. For children of a wealthy family, a rich collection of books at home is also the heritage of a family, but for disciples from poor and general families, , except for a few people who have family bamboo slips, most people have to find someone to borrow bamboo slips and rattan carvings, and spend too much time on such meaningless things. The emergence of books can save these people a lot of time.

Of course, good habits and learning methods also have an impact, but these things can only be done slowly. Now we can only use this first to save the time for carving and concentrate on studying.

"Here!" Liu Yi said with a smile: "My lord, this move will be of great benefit to the world, and it will win the hearts of the world."

"In addition, write some words of encouragement on these books." Chen Mo looked at the books in his hand and said with a smile: "Just in my name, as for what to write... I will send it to someone later."

"Here!" Liu Yi nodded. Chen Mo's approach undoubtedly seemed to be trying to win people's hearts, but it was all because of Chen Mo that these academy disciples had their own books to study. Liu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"There's more." Chen Mo turned to look at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "I have told Marquis Wen about the matter of Boyuan and Marquis Wen's daughter. After this, I will give you the position of Master Craftsman." Keep it until the day when these are fully promoted, that is when you take over as the general in the lecture, and then I will personally perform the wedding for you. "

Ma Jun and Liu Yi are rare craftsmen, and Liu Yi has the destiny of a craftsman. Chen Mo will naturally win over such a person. As for Lu Bu, Chen Mo has talked with Lu Bu several times and promised not to wrong Lu Bu. His daughter is.

"Thank you, Lord!" Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed down.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Chen Mo helped him up and said, "You have to rely on yourself to do this. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you even if I am willing to help you."

"Yi understands!" Liu Yi smiled.

"The next thing is very important. If there is any change, please notify me in time. I will also send people to protect you here. Don't worry." Chen Mo said seriously.

Next, when books are promoted in academies, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. As the source, the bookstore has surfaced this time and come to the forefront, there will naturally be people who are unfavorable to Liu Yi. Why did Chen Mo work hard to promote the marriage between Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi? ? It was just to find a more powerful backer for Liu Yi.

If he just sends people to assassinate or cause trouble, Chen Mo is not afraid. The real fatal thing is that someone uses soft weapons to do it. If Liu Yi cannot resist the temptation and defect to the noble family, the problem will be serious. At present, this Liu Yi Yi has his own pursuits and is of the same mind as Chen Mo, but people's hearts will change. Chen Mo will not overestimate the so-called loyalty. Therefore, when it is time to give benefits to his subordinates, Chen Mo will never be soft, and the same goes for Liu Yi.

"Lord, don't worry, Yi knows what to do!" Liu Yi said solemnly.

Chen Mo nodded, exchanged a few words with Liu Yi, and left with a few books. He needed to discuss the use of the books with others. It was best to promote this technology, so that as long as the interests were appropriately affected, people would naturally come. Help Chen Mo promote.

There is another chapter tonight. I will go out for a while and continue writing when I come back.
