Qin Feng's expedition, which lasted for more than a year, ended at the end of the fifth year of Jian'an.

When he returned home, it was already the twenty-ninth year of the year. Therefore, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he only symbolically went to the palace to meet Emperor Han Xian, and then returned home to prepare for the New Year.

From the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, Qin Feng rarely enjoyed a family fun with his wife and children at home. Of course, it is reasonable to have a love with your ladies. It's just that he is always with thirteen ladies, and it makes people

Too envious.

As the saying goes, the clouds come in the first month, and every household hangs lanterns. Millions of colorful lanterns that never go out all night make Yedu still a city that never sleeps. The only city that never sleeps in this century, it shows the world the prosperity and prosperity of the Northland. Of course, this is inseparable from Qin Feng's benevolent government based on the experience of later generations.

This benevolent government, to put it simply, means that the cultivators have their land, and the Qingming officials rule to ensure the stability of the people's livelihood.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do outside of the Northlands, where the lords are full of gates, the land is in their hands, and the people are nothing more than appendages to the land.

The princes were very envious of Qin Feng, and they also wanted to follow suit, but they needed to break it and stand up. However, in the situation of great chaos surrounded by strong enemies, they have the ability to "break", but they absolutely have no time to "stand". Therefore, the princes can only insist on it under the existing system, persist and persist.

In February 197 AD, the court of the Han dynasty ushered in the first grand meeting of the new year. Previously, Qin Feng had already made some plans for this year with the military advisors. Among them, there are two important reform plans, one is to reform the existing system of military merit titles, and the other is to establish a civilian title system. Suppress the remnants of the scholar class led by Ma Riyan. Meantime. Encourage the construction and development of local and military forces.

On the Deyang Palace, Emperor Han Xian sat high in the south. The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a haggard face. Coupled with one arm, there is an indescribable sense of gloom.

Liu Wei's eyes never looked at His Highness's hundred officials, because Qin Feng before the hundred officials always made him uneasy. He hated this feeling very much, and deep down in his heart, he would never allow himself as an emperor to feel this way, but the reality was cruel .......

Among the hundred officials, Kong Rong, an old minister, and Lu Su and other newly promoted Jiuqing are Qin Feng's descendants, and they are gúò. Qin Feng controlled more than eighty percent of the officials in the DPRK. And there are two percent of those who are stubborn, led by Ma Riyan and Yang Biao, who are guarding the Han family to the death. However, Qin Feng did not show any intention of threatening the Han family for the time being, so there was no fierce conflict between the two sides.

Qin Feng has the right to praise and worship without a name, enter the court, and go to the palace with a sword, and has almost reached the peak of the ministers. At the same time, his soldiers controlled the palace ban under the command of Hu Che'er, the commander of the black-clothed guard, the "big spy leader", and the palace attendants were all in charge. The palace maid is in charge of Yang Yu, a female official from the Blood Swallow Group.

Qin Feng can be said to completely control the Han family, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has become an authentic puppet, even inferior to the Cao Cao era in later generations.

Before Qin Feng spoke, no one dared to speak first. I saw him smile slightly, and arched his hand slightly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers will go on an expedition to set up Chenguo County for my Great Han." Liaonan County opened up its territory and expanded its territory ....... The minister started to play, and asked His Majesty to restore the 20-level military merit title system and the ...... of the non-commissioned officers in the Qin period. ”

Emperor Han Xian heard this. His eyes jumped violently as he thought of Qin Feng's surname and the "brutal" Great Qin Empire.

Kong Rong hurriedly went out of class and said: "What the prime minister said is very true. These soldiers have made meritorious contributions to our Han family and deserve to be rewarded. ”

Ma Riyan keenly captured the paragraph of "with soldiers" in Qin Feng's words, he was shocked, he almost understood Qin Feng's intentions, and said in his heart that this was to promote the soldiers at the bottom on a large scale.

However, most of today's hundred officials only have official titles and no titles because of Qin Feng's restrictions, if these 100,000 big-headed soldiers have titles, where will the face of the officials of the scholar clan without titles go, and the status of the scholar clan will be completely lost.

"No!" Ma Riyan walked out tremblingly and bowed: "Your Majesty, such a large-scale knighthood will definitely disturb the court!" He thought for a moment, then turned to Qin Feng and said, "Prime Minister, you have led the soldiers on an expedition of thousands of miles and ...... through hardships. You can understand your feelings, but you haven't thought about it. With such a large-scale knighthood, there will definitely be too many high-ranking people. What did the imperial court use to settle them, and how many food estates in the north were enough to divide them? ”

Yang Biao's eyes rolled, and at this time he also came out of class and said: "The prime minister has always implemented the system of cultivators having their fields. Prime Minister, all the land in the food is owned by the titler. ”

Emperor Han Xian looked left and right, he originally supported Ma Riyan's side. But thinking of the vicious methods of the black-clothed guard, he couldn't help but feel furious, and said carefully: "Prime Minister, what do you think of the words of Ma Riyan and the others?" ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Before Benxiang's words were finished, the two adults rushed out, which really surprised Benxiang. ”

Ma Riyan, Yang Biao was very embarrassed.

Qin Feng said again: "The two adults' deep-rooted ideas of the land obviously misunderstood the meaning of the true appearance. This is to ask His Majesty to restore and improve the system ......of 20 military merit titles, which will be independent of and above the official position, and will be independent of and above the official position, and there will be only an increase in treatment and no food. The fourth title is not more than ....... After Qin Feng finished speaking, he smiled slightly at the hundred officials and said, "Officials who don't have a knighthood should salute the soldiers with knighthoods!" ”

As soon as Qin Feng's words fell, the hundred officials suddenly exploded. Because they have fully understood what Qin Feng meant, this is a brand new class system, if the official does not have a title, even if it is the third duke, he must salute the soldier first.

Saluting a big-headed soldier is unacceptable to a hundred officials.

Even Kong Rong, the descendant, frowned slightly, and said carefully: "Prime Minister, this ...... I'm afraid that's not right. Because...... Because this is a military title, we ...... How do we civilians ...... How can you make military achievements? ”

Ma Riyan immediately said: "What Kong Situ said is very true, you are so proud of the status of a martial artist, where do you put the people of the world?" ”

Hundreds of officials began to discuss this.

Qin Feng had already discussed with the six military advisors before, and said at this moment: "The twentieth level of the government knighthood system, in the future, civilian officials will be knighted based on their political achievements. You have the achievements of the people and the people. If you have merit and social service, you will have a high lord. Again, there is no political record. There is no knighthood. He looked at Ma Riyan and spread his hands and said, "If you are in your position, you will not seek politics." I can't complain about others, so I have to go down to the mediocre and go up to the capable. ”

The meaning of Qin Feng's last sentence is very simple, without a title and no political achievements, you don't have to be an official, go home and be unemployed.

At this moment, the newly promoted officials of the imperial examination represented by Lu Su and Fa Zheng became excited. Most of them are from poor backgrounds and are young and promising, so they are not comparable to the officials in the noble clan who rely on their connections. That's where they can go. Expelled the scholars who relied on their connections to become officials in the court.

Ma Riyan and Yang Biao then understood, and said secretly: "It's so vicious!" This is an attempt to put the few scholars in the DPRK and the Central Committee to death! ”

Qin Feng had such a plan, when he first welcomed Emperor Han Xian, he accepted too many old court officials at the same time. There are also excellent officials among them, but most of them rise to power through family connections. As a powerful person, Qin Feng couldn't dismiss these people on a large scale for no reason. Now that he has won a great victory and returned to the dynasty, he has proposed this system of political titles at the same time as proposing military titles.

"Prime Minister...... You...... You....... Ma Riyan knows it very well. As soon as this system was implemented, the descendants of the scholars who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun no longer had any chance.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the gentry clan, a behemoth that has held the authority of the world for thousands of years, will collapse under this system. With the sharp decrease in the number of officials in the clan. Reduced to an ordinary family.

"The mediocre are down, the capable are up, does Lord Sikong want to let the people with wine bags and rice bags. Is he in charge? Qin Feng sneered.

"Oops......." Ma Riyan clutched his chest, trembling constantly. Since ancient times. The scholars hold the authority, and they are not descendants, even if they are talented, they cannot hold important positions. Because the nobles need to be held on from generation to generation. How can they give up their high positions to others?

However, although they are nepotistic, they also need a banner to cover up, shouting that meritocracy is indispensable. It's a pity that the banner that used to cover up shame has now become an obstacle, so that they have no way to refute it in front of Qin Feng.

Yang Biao's face was pale, and his heart was rolling, "The hateful Qin Zijin, he shouldn't have promoted him, a common man, to the court as an official in the first place!" ”

Ma Riyan, the old man in the Great Han Clan, was full of self-reproach at the moment, and he remembered that when he was in Luoyang, he assisted Qin Feng as a prisoner. "If it weren't for that thing, maybe Qin Feng today would still be just a grass people, shouldn't be, shouldn't have been!"

He shouted, "Prime Minister, you...... You're a nobleman, too! ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and said in his heart that you brought the master into the scholar class, the master came from 1,800 years ago, the master is the working class, and your scholar class has nothing to do with the lord a dime.

Although he pitied the old guy Ma Riyan very much, if he eliminated the people who did nothing, the official system in the north would become a precision machine, and it would become a powerful pilaster for Qin Feng to dominate the world. At this point, Qin Feng will definitely not back down. He said: "Master Ma, the true appearance is also very sad, our Shi clan has conditions that the Shu clan cannot match, why do most of us do nothing? Master Ma, you should work this point! ”

Ma Riyan was speechless, for thousands of years the scholars have held power, so they can say anything similar to appointing people and flaunting their own courtesy. Because they will not really elevate people from the Shu clan to a high position that is enough to shake their foundation. For example, Guo Jia, who was born in the Shu clan, no matter how talented he was, after Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, he only gave a military advisor sacrificial wine set up outside the official establishment of the Han Dynasty. And a scholar like Xun Yu is Shang Shuling. From this, it can be seen.

If Cao Cao was now in opposition to Qin Feng, he would never have come up with such a system, or he would never really implement such a system, and he would just shout slogans like the predecessors of the scholar clan in thousands of years. He will use a talent like Guo Jia, but he will let people from the real scholar clan occupy all the high positions.

However, Qin Feng's thoughts from later generations are different from those of the current generation. He will never allow it, and the decaying scholar class is still in charge of the country. He didn't exterminate the scholars, he just really implemented the slogan of meritocracy shouted by the scholars.

Moreover, Qin Feng's doing this would not affect his rule at all, because in the dynasties of the next thousand years, there was no such thing as the scholar class. However, there are still sage emperors, wise emperors.

In this regard, Qin Feng truly implemented the banner of appointing people on the basis of meritocracy, and if the scholars wanted to survive, they could only desperately educate their children and grandchildren. However, the proportion of the population of the scholar clan cannot be smaller, and the huge population base of the Shu nationality under the compulsory education of Qinfeng's rural pedants will squeeze the scholar clan out of the stage of history in the near future, rise in peace, and disintegrate this privileged class that has ruled China for thousands of years and has decayed.

From then on, under Qin Feng's rule, batches of talents will emerge. And those princes in the south, the scholars who hold the power under their hands will still crowd out the talents of the Shu people. Of course, they can't crowd out a talent like Guo Jia. The majestic pyramid, however, begins with a pedestal. (To be continued......)
