Luo Longshang breathed a sigh of relief: “I understand, Lord God, in fact, Liu Yu or Liu Muzhi’s arrangements have far-reaching intentions. As a newly recovered territory, Qingzhou needs to use the manpower and material resources here. We cannot let the local powerful landowners become powerful in this game, or suddenly arouse their resistance, so we must first kill a group of leading wealthy families to shock their minds, and at the same time eliminate the local leaders in Qingzhou. , making it impossible to form a joint force.”

“After that, in the name of Tuduan and the Northern Expedition, these powerful landowners in Qingzhou were asked to contribute their efforts and come out in accordance with the provisions of the national law. This would force some small landowners or powerful tributaries to live in other places because they did not have enough The land can be divided. In order to prevent it from flowing to foreign countries such as Northern Wei and Later Qin, Liu Yu deliberately let his trustworthy brothers Tan Shao and Tan Zhi manage the neighboring southern Qingzhou and Xuzhou Jiangbei areas. There is a lot of land here. There are few people here, and it has always been a pilot area for Liu Yu to establish direct-administered territories. If the Qingzhou refugees are willing to come, everyone will be happy. Moreover, this is not a frontline or a war zone like before. It is relatively safe. I am afraid that even some high-ranking powerful people will Landowners will also take the initiative to immigrate here.”

At this point, Luo Longsheng frowned slightly: “It’s just that the two brothers of the Tan family are famous generals in running the army and fighting, but they have never been good at governance. If they are asked to take charge of this place, they will not be able to appease these new refugees. If we let them go in vain, wouldn’t it ruin Liu Yu’s big business?”

The black robe raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: “I originally thought so, but recently I received information that Liu Muzhi and others have opened an organization called Lanxiang Official School in the Linqu area, which is a bit like what they used to do. The Xiang Xu was done in Jingkou, but the previous Xiang Xu was said to be used to educate the children of the meritorious officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army, allowing them to attend school for free. The imperial court was responsible for the salaries of the teachers, winemakers and doctors, but this Lanxiang Official School is much larger in scale. There are thousands of children of the original Nanyan and Xianbei nobles. They learn the Han language in this official school, including the court’s etiquette and law system, and literacy. It is said that they will rely on these in the future. People come to educate the Xianbei people and make them have households and people.”

Luo Longsheng gritted his teeth: “This is not new. In the past, when the Central Dynasty of the Han Dynasty appeased the barbarians who came from all directions, they also sent their aristocratic children to the capital to learn Han culture. On the one hand, the ideas of Sinicization and Confucian benevolence and righteousness gave way to They accept that in the future, these barbarian children who believe in benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom, and are loyal to their emperor and filial piety to their fathers will be incompatible with their tribe’s traditions when they return to the tribe. This is much worse than being a hostage.”

The black robe smiled slightly: “Exactly, the most typical example in this regard is Tuoba Desert Khan, the former prince of the Tuoba clan. Because he had been a hostage in the Central Plains for too long, he behaved like a Han after he returned. The old Xianbei nobles of the Tuoba clan were incompatible with each other. These people united and forced Tuoba Shiyi, the leader of the Tuoba clan at that time, to marry Desert Khan and establish another son. This incident also caused civil strife in the Tuoba clan for many years. , and was finally destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty, which can be said to have taught a profound lesson.”

“However, now that Nan Yan has been destroyed by Liu Yu, it is impossible for these Xianbei people to continue to live in the tribal model in the future. Slowly they will become common people and become ordinary Jin people. This seems to be the case with Murong Lan’s long-cherished wish in his life, or even his last wish, was that Liu Yu did not massacre all the Xianbei people, and he did not want them to continue to be controlled by these tribal nobles like Liu Yuan did when Wu Hu invaded China, so he had no choice but to take this path.”

Luo Longsheng sneered: “It’s just that these Xianbei people are barbaric and rude. The nobles and nobles from the Wudi and Jiankang families definitely don’t want them to cross the river. These people used to look down on the northern refugees and they were not allowed to cross the river.” Most people cross the river, not to mention these Xianbei people, so it is the most normal operation to resettle and educate them in the nearby places of Southern Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Even if they want to fight the Northern Expedition, they can be easily assembled into Army, then go north out of Daxian Mountain, merge with the Qingzhou Army, and directly attack the Northern Wei or the Central Plains of the Later Qin.”

Heipao nodded: “Yes, not only the Xianbei army, but also the legions of Tan Shao and Tan Zhi can go north to Qingzhou and become a large army in the northern expedition from the east. These Xianbei people have temporarily retained their tribal organization. , but their armored cavalry, this time under the leadership of Duan Hong, have gone into battle in Jiankang. In the future, they may become a military unit specifically providing heavy armored cavalry for the Beifu Army. However, what I want to say It is not to provide education for these Xianbei people, but to say that this Lanxiang Official School is more to cultivate such low-level scholars who can be village chiefs, stingy husbands, Li Zheng, and even county officials at all levels. “

Luo Longsheng’s expression changed slightly: “Inferior scholar? Served as an official? Do you mean, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net down-and-out nobles like Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, or people with a background like you and me?”

The black robe’s face was as dark as water, and he nodded: “Yes, this is the kind of person I’m talking about. It’s difficult for this kind of person to rely on recommendation to become an official when the high-ranking family monopolizes the rise of Tulxing. Now, although Liu Yu’s The rules have changed. You can’t be an official without a title, and you can’t be a title without merit. However, he still made compromises and concessions to the noble families. The most critical point is that in terms of the civil servant index for joining the army and the final evaluation of merit, It is beneficial to the children of aristocratic families. They can join the army and follow the army in various capacities as clerks. However, in the end, a lot of the credit for winning the battle is attributed to them. Ordinary scholars want to join the army as officials, and the quota is Very limited, even if they have made some meritorious service with the army, it is not enough for them to inherit a high title, let alone become a high official.”

Luo Longsheng sneered: “So, it is almost impossible for ordinary scholars to become officials. They can only be officials. If the Lanxiang Official School you mentioned is similar to the former Xiangxu in Jingkou, it is just for these aristocratic families. The gentry training school, which was looked down upon by the children, gave officials who had served in the army the opportunity to learn some of the court’s laws and management methods at the grassroots level in this school. From then on, they would start from the village chiefs and Li Zhengmen, and finally realize Liu’s goal. Yu’s idea of ​​controlling the grassroots slowly empties the power of the upper echelons of the family from the bottom up, right?”

The black robe sighed: “Long Sheng, your knowledge is really accurate. You can see the key at a glance. Liu Yu wants everyone to be equal, but in reality, doing so will offend the interests of the great nobles and families. , will cause a strong backlash, so he can only play this kind of sideline game quietly in the newly conquered land of Nanyan Qingzhou. And these scholars from the official school will become the talents of the Tan family brothers to govern the states and counties! “
