His Majesty Li Er stood on the standpoint of the Guanlong Group, and of course he could not tolerate the arrogance of the Shandong gentry. He wanted to improve the status of the Guanlong Group by editing genealogies, and forcibly designated them as gentry.

"The gentry was born and raised because of the gentry system. The system of divination and land was abolished. The nine-rank Zhongzheng system was also replaced by the imperial examination and family. It has neither political nor economic privileges. How can it be called a gentry? Apart from being proud of oneself, what can it be?"

"Even if you are called a gentry, even though you are famous in the province, you are not immune to poverty and humbleness. Whenever you marry a daughter, you will be able to recruit money and make a fortune. The number is the most important. You will make a decision. It is the same as a market businessman, and it is like a marriage, which is not ashamed."

"However, my brother's concept is deeply rooted in the minds of the people and needs long-term efforts to change."

Xu Qilin said it more tactfully, but His Majesty Li Er and Ma Dami also understood it. Although the Clan Chronicle can be compiled and distributed, it will not have a great effect.

His Majesty Li Er frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Buying and selling marriages and taking more goods and bribes is like selling, with the spirit of virtue and righteousness. It is better to determine the number of wealth that a daughter can receive in the world, so as not to receive wealth for the family; or to prohibit a certain family from having a certain surname and family from marrying themselves."

Xu Qilin replied: "I am afraid that the banned marriage family will use this to increase their value, as if they have asked for the 'imperial title'."

The more banned it, the more precious it is. The more banned it, the more it makes outsiders show off by marrying their daughter. This kind of thing seems to be not uncommon.

"This--" His Majesty Li Er drooped his eyelids, tapped his fingers on the desk, and fell into thought.

Ma Dami asked at a very time: "Captain Xuanjie, Your Majesty wants to reform the traditional concept of aristocratic families, respect the crown of the current dynasty, and suppress the Shandong gentry. First, the official editing of the spy charter is the key."

"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Qilin said: "The gentry emphasizes the compilation of family genealogy, paying attention to the origin, starting from this, and hitting the point."

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued, "However, I still have a simple opinion. I think that a multi-pronged approach can defeat the arrogance of the gentry."

Oh, His Majesty Li Er smiled when he stroked his beard and pressed his hands down, and said, "What a multi-pronged approach? It's really amazing! Qi Lin sat down and said slowly."

He turned his head and smiled at Ma Zhou, "King Bin is also sitting down, let's listen to the powerful tricks of this junior. It is also a beautiful story to sit and discuss the truth between the king and the minister."

To be honest, is it okay for me and you to be the same generation? Who made you, an old hooligan, shameless and insisted on marrying my sister!

Xu Qilin laughed, Xiao Mazha sat down with a solid attitude, bowed and said, "I am afraid and have shallow knowledge. Please give me some advice from your Majesty, Massman."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "But it's okay."

Xu Qilin sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "The fundamental reason why the gentry can maintain a long-term period is the economic foundation, that is, the land. The dynasty implemented the equal-field system and the rent-in-one system, so that some farmers with no land and little land could break away from their control and become self-cultivated farmers. This has weakened the economic foundation of the gentry to a certain extent."

Ma Dami nodded and echoed: "That's right. This dynasty also prohibits the occupation of a large amount of land and the sale of land at will, which also inhibits the land annexation of the gentry."

His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly, which shows that the legal system of the Tang Dynasty is still the opposite.

Xu Qilin said: "But the gentry still owns a lot of land and there are many farmers relying on it. If you become a self-cultivated farmer, how many land can you plant with the gentry's family servants?"

"Farmers rely on the gentry, one is because they have no land, and the other is because they think the tax is heavy. The gentry can make profits from it, one is because they hide Dingkou, and the other is because they falsely report the land." Ma Dami smiled slightly and said, "This is all contrary to national laws and should be severely punished."

Alas? Do you know so much?

Xu Qilin looked at Ma Dami in surprise, then looked at His Majesty Li Er, gently looked at him and encouraged him, "Qi Lin, continue talking."

OK, since you have already said it, I'll talk about the second one.

Xu Qilin straightened his body on Hu bench and said, "The reason why the gentry is not keen on imperial examinations is mostly because they have a way to enter the officialdom..."

The so-called family yin means that the current fifth-rank official and above had the privilege of respecting one or two sons as officials. In the early Tang Dynasty, a group of founding heroes from common people obtained high officials and generous salaries, and some gentry members of the previous dynasty were also given corresponding privileges.

Xu Qilin's meaning is very obvious. He does not mean that he will ban all the people's family. Instead, he does not pay more attention to the people's official position. The empty officials have no power, so that the gentry cannot steal the key points of the court, making it difficult to form a network of tangled relationships.

"There is still an excuse to cancel the door." His Majesty Li Er pondered, then smiled slightly. It was not easy to catch the handle. Don't say that you want to add a crime, even if you really go to investigate, you will definitely find an excuse.

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's appearance, Ma Daming knew it in his heart. This determination was finally decided by Xu Qilin.

"Qi Lin, you only have two-guards, not too much." His Majesty Li Er smiled with a slight joking smile, and he knew that he was in a good mood when he looked at his expression.

Xu Qilin hurriedly said, "I will continue to talk about this third one. The gentry monopolizes the career of officialdom because of their family background and proficiency in economics. In the imperial examination, Your Majesty can value Jinshi, neglect Mingjing, curb his strengths, and control his weaknesses. Or, cancel the Mingjingjing subject, right?"

Hahahaha, His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, and Ma Dami also smiled.

"That's right, the advantage that the gentry enjoyed in the past dynasties was the rich knowledge of the classics." Ma Dami agreed with it and nodded repeatedly, "So, the children of the gentry mainly focused on the Ming scriptures. If they did not value the Ming scriptures, the influence of the gentry would inevitably decline."

His Majesty Li Er let out a long sigh and said, "Even if they change to the Jinshi Division, it may take several years to adapt. Furthermore, I use my talents to select scholars, regardless of their origin. If the children of the gentry are truly talented and virtuous, they will also be pillars of my Tang Dynasty."

"Only talent is to promote it" is indeed the biggest weapon to dismantle the gentry. For the gentry, Xu Qilin did not want to completely eliminate them, but to eliminate their privileges.

As for whether to violate the law or not, it is a matter of the state and the law, he just mentioned it.

Ma Dami bowed and replied to His Majesty Li Er: "The Xuanjie Captain is Wusan, which is convenient for Qianniu to serve as a preparatory position. Once the term of office is over, it may be more appropriate to entrust Wensan."

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment, agreed, and turned to Xu Qilin and said, "Qi Lin is indeed awesome in these three ways. Well, I will be promoted to you as a third-level scattered official and become the lieutenant of Zhiguo."

Zhiguo School Captain is a Wusan official at the seventh rank. He is only three levels away from Qianniu, a sixth rank official at the sixth rank. The word "Quanshou" can be cancelled.

Oh, the three tubes are level three, this is a suitable deal.

Xu Qilin hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and said with a huff: "Actually, I have the fourth officer but I haven't said it!"
Chapter completed!
