Chapter 329 Differentiation and disintegration, one by one
"Ziyuan, won't the imperial examination really make us entangled?"
Just as Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son were discussing the imperial examination, Liu Bei, who was in doubt, also called Lin Chen into the palace.
"Anyone who has read this list will not obstruct the imperial examination." Lin Chen shook his head very decisively and picked up the imperial examination list placed by Liu Bei on the imperial case.
Although the imperial examination system is the way out for everyone in the world, for this imperial examination alone, the candidates admitted are all aristocratic families, wealthy families, and poor families.
Lin Chen believes.
As long as aristocratic families, wealthy families, and poor people are not fools, they will not resist the imperial examinations crazily.
Because the current imperial examinations are of great benefit to them.
It's just a different method.
But as long as their own interests can be guaranteed, they will naturally not care about anything else.
"I believe Ziyuan said this."
Liu Bei nodded, and asked in a low voice: "But another problem, can Ziyuan solve it?"
"You are talking about giving opportunities to the world as much as possible, right?"
Lin Chen will naturally not forget his promise.
“That’s right.”
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Now, people like Jia Kui and Ma Jun who are from humble origins are all noble families and wealthy families, but they have now become poor families."
"And Ziyuan said at the beginning that everyone in the world should have a chance."
"You haven't done it now."
"Ten has done it."
Lin Chen slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Bei without any fear.
"Did it? Then this list..."
Liu Bei looked confused.
"If you want to understand this problem, it is enough as long as your Majesty figures out another thing."
Lin Chen looked at Liu Bei's puzzled expression and asked casually: "This question is, why do aristocratic families become aristocratic families?"
"Of course I have been an official for generations, so I still know this."
Liu Bei answered casually and asked, "I just don't understand, what does this have to do with giving people all over the world?"
"Since Your Majesty still doesn't understand, Chen will ask another question."
Lin Chen still said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, why do they have been officials for generations?"
"It's based on fame..."
Liu Bei blurted out, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he woke up.
"Your Majesty understand, right?"
Lin Chen explained with a smile: "That's right, the reason why they can be officials for generations is because of their own fame."
"Now, with the arrival of the imperial examination, the right to promote one's reputation has been controlled by the court."
“Or, in other words…”
When Lin Chen said this, he saw a hint of confusion on Liu Bei's face, and quickly explained the matter more simply:
"When these students became famous and knew the world, they themselves became the children promoted by those aristocratic families."
"So, Your Majesty understands?"
Simply put, it is just two words.
Divine.
During this period of the Han Dynasty, not only the emperors had divine nature, but the aristocratic families actually had divine nature.
Therefore, with the arrival of the imperial examination, the divine clothes they wore were naturally stripped away.
Of course, since Lin Chen was facing Liu Bei, he definitely could not explain divinity so clearly.
But that's what it means.
"I see!"
Liu Bei suddenly realized and looked at Lin Chen with shocked face and said, "I really don't know how to say Ziyuan, just like you have a solution at any time, it's really..."
"sharp!"
Lin Chen shook his head quickly and said, "In fact, it's not that Chen is so powerful, mainly because the perspective of the world is too small. If they can broaden their perspective, they will naturally be able to see a bigger world."
"I don't understand these very much..."
Liu Bei waved his hand gently, and frowned again and asked, "I have figured it out. Smart people may be able to figure it out, but what should I do if I encounter some aristocratic families that I can't figure it out?
If they think that I and Ziyuan have joined forces to dig up their foundation, and then they will fight to the death whenever they encounter it, what should they do then?"
He was worried about the backlash of aristocratic families, wealthy families, and poor families.
After all, they even took off each other's "clothes" - although Liu Bei might not understand this meaning, he subconsciously felt that there would always be people in the world who couldn't figure it out.
"If you encounter this, that's great."
Faced with Liu Bei's concern, Lin Chen not only did not feel nervous at all, but instead laughed.
"What did Ziyuan laugh at? Isn't there such people in the world?"
Liu Bei's brows frowned even deeper.
"Yes, of course, how could it be not?"
Lin Chen kept his smile and waved his hands repeatedly: "There may be anyone in this world, but there is no shortage of people who sacrifice their lives for the sake of interests."
"Why can Ziyuan laugh?" Liu Bei became even more confused.
"Say that..."
Lin Chen thought about it and felt that Liu Bei might not understand it if he was talking deeply, so he simply explained:
"The fundamental reason for those aristocratic families is not actually how powerful they are. Their strength is mainly in terms of influence."
"Simply put, once the aristocratic family wants to rebel, they will convince other small aristocratic families, large wealthy families, and poor families who have no skills."
"The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have already done this. Your Majesty can clearly see how they are taking power."
"Hmm?" Liu Bei felt that his mind seemed to move for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had not figured out anything.
"But that was before, it's different now."
Lin Chen smiled and pointed to the list and said, "The secret lies in this list."
"What's the list..."
After Liu Bei glanced casually, he suddenly raised his head: "Ziyuan means that nowadays, those small families, wealthy families and poor families will no longer be able to work hard for them after the imperial examinations are promoted?"
“That’s exactly that.”
Lin Chen nodded heavily and said, "The reason I worked hard before was because the aristocratic family gave enough benefits, but now, it is obvious that we have given more benefits... Especially with the expansion of the list of imperial examinations, nearly a thousand people have been recruited this time. What if it is in the future?"
"When Your Majesty pacifies the world in the future and holds the imperial examination again, will this thousand be turned into ten thousand?"
"When that happens, won't they have a chance?"
"Man is not a stone, he will always have his own ideas. They will also think about it. Who will be better if His Majesty or the aristocratic family will take over the world."
"After some thought, they quickly discovered that it was His Majesty who seized the world and gave them even more benefits."
"Just because after we recruit candidates, we will immediately arrange them as a county chief and a county chief."
"Will the aristocratic family give such benefits? Or, can they afford it?"
"Since you can't afford it, why do the rich and poor families still accompany them to fight to the death?"
"And the influence of the imperial examination is not just that, it will also allow ordinary little landlords to see opportunities."
When he said this, he paused slightly before asking: "Your Majesty, think about it, if you were a small landlord, would you want your descendants to become famous all over the world, or would you be a tyrant for a noble family?"
"Of course I want my descendants to become famous all the time..."
Liu Bei subconsciously answered. Halfway through his speech, he suddenly noticed Lin Chen's smile on his face, and stopped his voice, and waved his hand with a wry smile.
"As soon as Ziyuan uses this move, the influence of the world's aristocratic family will soon fall apart."
"This is called differentiation and disintegration, defeating one by one."
Lin Chen nodded with a smile, then looked at Liu Bei deeply before continuing.
"Of course, the reason why Chen's move was achieved was mainly because His Majesty had already proclaimed himself emperor, otherwise, it would probably not be that simple."
"I believe you always have a way!"
