Chapter 3120 The Emperor’s Self-cultivation

Duran suggested that it would not be difficult to turn Godzilla around, as long as he met his method of reforming the selection mechanism.

It's a pity that the Chinese are definitely unwilling, because only the monopoly on personnel can maintain the status of the Chinese. Once talents can continue to rise, it will have an impact on the Chinese people.

The level of the Chinese and the common people is actually the same, so the proportion of talents is also the same. The proportion is the same. The larger the base, the more talents. The common people definitely have more talents than the Chinese. Once the door to talent selection is opened, the Chinese talents will not be able to hold the door, and sooner or later they will be overwhelmed by the common people's talents.

The selection mechanism in the feudal era was basically the retainer system, where the nobles raised a group of scholars and then selected talents from among them. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many stories about retainers, including many dead soldiers. But scholars are just scholars, and they are only responsible for execution. The real people in charge are the aristocracy, who are responsible for formulating the route.

Of course, there is another way to select talents in troubled times, which is to select talents through military merit and war. Later, there was the imperial examination system, followed by the nine-level Zhongzheng system, and then developed into the imperial examination.

This process is that talent selection gradually changes from local to central. At the beginning, only the locals knew whether they were filial or not. If the locals say he is filial, then he is filial. Who has the final say locally? It must be a powerful person who has the final say.

The nine-level Zhongzheng system allows each locality to divide talents into nine levels, and then the central government selects them. With nine levels, there will be competition within the place, and the court will have the goal of unity, attracting some people to attack others.

Although the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system has made it difficult for poor families to produce noble sons for a long time, it is because of the emergence of poor families that there is an opportunity to further unite poor families.

The imperial court could unite poor families and fight against local powerful people through imperial examinations. The final result was that the powerful surrendered and accepted defeat, took the initiative to accept the poor, and finally merged into the scholar-bureaucrat class and consolidated the imperial examination system. It also allowed more people to join the scholar-official class through the imperial examination system.

Therefore, the talent selection system is very important. The system of selecting scholars, military honors, imperial examination system, nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and imperial examination system are all processes in which the aristocracy separates the poor families step by step, and then uses the poor families to fight back against the powerful, and finally the two merge again.

The emperor also changed from using relatives and eunuchs to fight against local powerful people to using factions of scholar-officials to attack other factions of scholar-officials.

Before the Song Dynasty, there would be various records of the harem interfering in politics and causing trouble in the court. In fact, it is very simple, that is, the emperor marries a wife, and then uses the wife's natal family to suppress the local tycoons. Of course the local tycoons are unwilling. It must be said that the emperor is controlled by his wife and will subjugate the country.

In fact, no matter how lustful the emperor was, he did not have the physical strength and time. The main purpose of marrying more wives is to cultivate the power of relatives and suppress the powerful through relatives. I wish I could marry as many wives as there are powerful men, hoping to balance the relationship between the foreign relatives and the powerful men.

Of course, there was another force that the emperor trusted very much, and that was the eunuchs. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs were the emperor's most convenient weapons. They were very useful against nobles and scholar-bureaucrats.

After the Song Dynasty, relatives had basically no advantage, because the emperor had mastered the methods of scholar-bureaucrats fighting against bureaucrats. After the emergence of the scholar-bureaucrat class, if you wanted to use your relatives, your relatives had to pass the imperial examination. But if the maternal relative passed the imperial examination, then the maternal relative was no longer a maternal relative, but also a member of the scholar-bureaucrats.

In fact, party struggle has been a necessary tool for the emperor since the late Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty began to mature. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, almost no one criticized the emperor for marrying his wife indiscriminately, whether he wanted to marry or not. Anyway, the influence of relatives was no longer a threat to the scholar-bureaucrats.

The balanced relationship between the emperor, relatives, and powerful men formed in the Han Dynasty was replaced by the relationship between the emperor, factions, and factions.

From here we can see that the operation of Bao Zheng in the Song Dynasty to kill his uncle Guo was extremely normal. Bao Zheng was a scholar-bureaucrat, and his uncle Guo was a relative. The scholar-bureaucrats were so tough in beheading their relatives. The emperor will not destroy the balance between factions just because of an uncle.

It can be seen that the selection of talents is indeed directly related to the pattern of society. When local powerful people controlled the selection of talents, the emperor could only reuse his relatives and gain support through marriage.

When the talent selection mechanism is controlled by the court, the emperor no longer needs to use relatives, but can directly win over some scholar-officials, especially those from poor families and common people who have no foundation among the scholar-officials, forming two factions and letting them fight.

Of course, the result of party struggle is a waste of national resources, but the emperor's position is secure. The emperor must protect himself first and then the country. Even if his position is unstable, the emperor doesn't care what happens to the country.

The current situation in the island country is that the Chinese recommend candidates to the factions, and then the factions fight with the factions. The talents recommended are basically his relatives or subordinates, and they are all people he can trust.

These people are not selected through examinations, but are determined through father-to-son inheritance. The father does this job, and the son continues to do this job. He may be selected if he does well.

Of course, knowledge is also important, such as studying abroad, but this is only one of the reference conditions. International students do not compete with foreign students, but with the prince. The competition is not just about ability, but also about loyalty.

This kind of local control of talent selection and formation of factional struggles is very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because after the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Central Plains has always been an important part. Whether he is an emperor, a relative, a powerful person, or an emperor, a faction, or a faction, the emperor's influence is very great. But the island country has no emperor, and the domestic situation is all about local alliances versus local alliances, and fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers.

The island country actually implemented the imperial examination, but unfortunately it failed because the Chinese knew that the imperial examination was to let the emperor control the selection of talents, and the Chinese would definitely suffer by then.

If the imperial examination system is established and the emperor pulls one faction to fight another, he will truly become an emperor.

Now Dulan just wants to directly select talents and break the status quo of Chinese people recommending talents. Can the Chinese be willing? Don't even think about it.

Being crushed by Godzilla was only temporary. And losing the talent selection mechanism is forever. See your next door neighbor? After the talent selection was controlled by the imperial court, local powerful people were suppressed all the time. It was intolerable. That country was simply too evil.

Dulan looked at the expressions of the Chinese and knew that they were unwilling and would rather be crushed by Godzilla. After being crushed by Godzilla, they still have hope of rising, but if they lose the qualifications for talent promotion, there is no hope anymore. After all, all the Chinese have is the property rights of land, the right to economic development, and the right to recommend talents. Property rights and economic rights are both based on the right to recommend talents, and talents are the most critical.

"I would rather be stepped on by Godzilla than allow your wolf ambition!" The Chinese people are not stupid either. Everyone knows about Duran's heart, and his ambition is already obvious.

It is not easy for the Chinese to let themselves go in talent selection. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao proposed meritocracy as an attempt, but it quickly failed. Later, the Wei and Jin Dynasties still used the nine-level Zhongzheng system. The local government still had the qualifications to recommend talents, but it only allowed local governments to classify talents into three, six, and nine grades.

Although meritocracy is domineering, it is too radical. The nine-level Zhongzheng system was like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly dividing the relationship between local talents, and finally launching the imperial examination in one fell swoop. The imperial examination gave poor families who had been treated unfairly by the local government a chance to make a comeback. They would naturally work hard and support the imperial examination.

As soon as the Chinese heard that Dulan wanted to control talent selection, they knew that he had bad intentions and was trying to drain the salary from under the cauldron. At this moment, the Chinese people can be absolutely sure of one thing: Dulan is the enemy!
