After seeing off Kudi, Pei Min shook his head and sighed, thinking: "Sure enough, even those who are smart and rational cannot avoid the limited vision of the times."

The decline and demise of aristocratic families is inevitable, but even a wise man with political vision like Kudi does not believe in the historical necessity.

Li Longji's thoughts on the disposal of the aristocratic family are the same as those of Pei Min.

Aristocratic families are indeed a potential hazard.

It’s just that Rome was not built in one day, it takes a process.

Even Wu Zetian's iron-blooded method of killing one thousand enemies and destroying himself by 800 himself requires a long killing to achieve his goal.

The reason why the aristocrats are strong depends on four points: politics, economy, living status, and cultural monopoly.

During the Cao Wei Dynasty, the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" was implemented, which made the country's selection of officials only depend on family background, resulting in the monopoly of important government officials.

The rank official occupied the Tian Yinke commanded the gentry to occupy a large amount of land and labor, be self-sufficient, and have a strong source of economic resources.

They do not intermarry with common people, or even sit in different seats, and reject and squeeze poor families everywhere to improve their identity.

What is crucial is that they monopolize culture and rely on their own strong faculty to continuously cultivate talents, while also leaving some "room" for poor families.

If there are really such great talents who are invincible, they will also win them over to their disciples by marrying into their families.

With this kind of family politics, the aristocratic families have been popular for thousands of years.

But now the ninth rank Zhongzheng system and the rank official's system of Tianyin's customs have been abolished, and the politics and economy are not superior.

The living status is not as good as before. The improvement of the imperial examination system has made many poor families climb above the aristocratic families, which is not out of reach.

Only in terms of cultural monopoly, the gentry still relies on certain advantages.

Li Longji wanted to break this point, but he couldn't do it again and again.

Pei Min also saw through Li Longji's thoughts and saw that he was in a dilemma, so he took the initiative to plead for Cui Yan, Lu Yi and the others.

Li Longji was indeed a little embarrassed, and Fengshan was about to be imminent. He could not kill the mess with a quick knife, and was unwilling to give up, and he was not willing to give up.

Pei Min, the person involved, didn't care about it anymore, and Li Longji naturally happily followed the steps and said, "It's still quiet and generous. You can see and let go of such things. The most important thing is to put a trap on the other party, but you still don't know it."

Li Longji saw through Pei Min's meaning at a glance.

Cui Yan and Lu Yi regarded Pei Min's withdrawal of the ancestral school and the construction of a public school as a killer weapon, but they did not know that the real key was the first move of ancient books and classic works.

The root of the teaching power of the aristocratic clans is books.

In ancient times, it was not as good as in later generations, because of the development of printing and the development of the Internet.

As long as there is an Internet, you can find any book.

But it was different in ancient times, and many excellent literary works were sealed.

Whenever the aristocrats have good articles, they will appreciate them themselves and then store them in the library, so that they will not give the common people more knowledge.

If the common people have good articles, they need to be appreciated by the gentry and still exist in their library and will not be spread.

Over time, the gentry mastered the literature of the world, and it was almost difficult for the common people to learn advanced knowledge.

This is also the key to why common people find it difficult to catch up with the gentry.

Even though they are talented, but only have a primary and junior high school diploma, how can they compare with their high school and university diplomas with their culture?

Many ancient articles were lost, which are closely related to this model.

Pei Min created a library open to the people in Liangzhou, which can be said to be a point of the fatal point of the aristocratic people.

However, even in the imperial court, their collection of books is not as good as that of the gentry.

The library's effect is not obvious.

But as long as the ancient books and masterpieces of the sages were collected from the library, and then the official seal was added and scattered throughout the world in the situation of the library, it will be like the teachings of Confucius, the most sage teacher of the past, so that more people who want to learn but have no economic learning will learn more knowledge and open up people's wisdom.

Pei Min looked for books for the national treasury, but actually asked for books for the upcoming official library policy.

Li Longji said: "I will arrange for Yu Wenrong to be responsible for this matter personally, so I will not let the five aristocratic families have room to cheat. You should know this person, right?"

Of course, Pei Min recognized this person, and was very familiar with it. In the early years of Kaiyuan, he was the supervisor of the Censorate and had worked under him.

Very skilled, very thoughtful, and not afraid of offending others, and has great prospects.

Before Pei Min left office, hesitated between Xiao Song and Yu Wenrong.

In the end, he chose Xiao Song to succeed him.

It was not that Pei Min didn’t choose Yuwen Rong, but that Xiao Song was better.

It’s gold that always shines, and indeed Yuwen Rong is also appreciated and valued by Li Longji.

Pei Min knew the situation, but said, "I think I have some impression. I have heard of it there, but I can't remember it very clearly. However, if you can win the favor of His Majesty, you should be an excellent talent."

I asked Kudi for more than two hours yesterday, and Pei Min also gained a lot of experience from her.

One of the things is that you can show your abilities and talents in front of Li Longji, but don’t give him the feeling that he is inferior to you.

An emperor is used to being arrogant.

If someone repeatedly proves that he is better than him, even if the priests do not have the intention to kill their ministers, they will not be too heavy.

Here Pei Min changed the original way of dealing with it.

Li Longji laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Jingyuan would miss it. Yuwen Rong was your subordinate at the time and was the censor. I looked at it, but he was not inferior to Xiao Song at all. Now he is a member of the Ministry of War. He is not only square, but also quite literary. He can write poems and write articles, but he is not afraid of being fooled. He is the most suitable candidate."

Pei Min's performance was too outstanding, which made Emperor Li Longji feel a lot of pressure.

He is not an emperor who follows the trend. The more outstanding his subjects he has, the more he must show his abilities so as not to be able to compete with his subjects and be difficult to control.

Now that I saw Pei Min taking a look, I was not as happy as myself.

When Pei Min saw Li Longji smiling like a fool, he admired him in his heart that Kudi's political experience was indeed effective.

Li Longji was in a very good mood. Suddenly, he thought of Princess Yuzhen. He was about to speak, but he swallowed it again and said, "It's Fengshan again and the gentry again. I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Today, Jingyuan has made a big decision for me, and suddenly felt relaxed and tired. Go back first, I want to take a break! General Gao, please send my imperial chariot, and Jingyuan will take my imperial chariot back!"

Pei Min was very surprised.

Carrying a chariot?

This is a great honor. In the era of feudal ethics, monarch, minister, father and son, it was a major event that could be written into historical books.

Generally speaking, only those who are respected and respected old ministers such as Fang Xuanling, and those who are highly meritorious and outstanding generals such as Li Jing and Su Dingfang are qualified to ride.

Pei Min dared not agree, so he quickly said with confidence: "I am not used to making carriages, so I'd better ride a horse back!"
