When they heard Ying Changan say that he had a way to eradicate the aristocratic families, there was an uproar below the high platform.
"You only used two methods to eradicate a thousand-year-old family? How is that possible?"
"That's right. Although there aren't many aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire, the aristocratic families in the other countries in the Central Plains are all huge figures.”
"You're right. Among the many dynasties of the Central Plains, many of the top-notch families have lasted for thousands of years.”
"Their power is so huge that it is breathtaking. Not only are they rich, but they also have private soldiers.”
"Aren't the Li Family of the Great Tang and the Yang Family of the Great Sui both aristocratic families? He really couldn't think of any way to overthrow them.”
Many people shook their heads in disbelief.
Ying Changan truly was a god, accurately predicting the various events that would occur in the Great Tang.
However, this did not mean that…
He was really smart enough to solve the problems of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.
Since ancient times, there had been so many emperors and dynasties. Who had solved this problem?
If Ying Chang 'an could solve this difficult problem with a casual story, then wouldn't he be a prodigy?
In the crowd.
Zhang Liang sneered disdainfully,"Tch, keep bragging." If it was really that easy, why would this Young Master go through so much trouble?”
Before the Six Nations were destroyed.
Zhang Liang had thought of asking for help from other empires.
He also tried to help the emperors of other empires deal with the aristocratic families, and used this as a condition to exchange for their support.
But Zhang Liang racked his brains and could not think of any good ideas.
This plan could only be put on hold.
If he couldn't even think of a problem, how could he beat a kid from Chang 'an?
"I say, Brother Zhang Liang, let's wait for a while before coming to a conclusion.”
Uncle Xiang looked at Zhang Liang teasingly.
Hearing this.
Zhang Liang's face instantly turned red, and he anxiously said,""If he can really think of a way, I'll stand upside down and eat sh * t on the spot!”
……
Not far away.
When he heard Ying Changan say that he had a way to destroy the aristocratic families.
Wu Meiniang, who had been standing quietly, suddenly took a step forward and looked nervously at the high platform in the distance.
She held her breath and pricked up her ears, afraid that she would miss a word.
Wu Meiniang knew better than anyone else what methods they had to deal with aristocratic families.
This was because in the Great Zhou Empire, aristocratic families were the forces that the emperor feared the most.
This was an extremely huge interest group.
Books, money, food, salt, and other resources were all firmly controlled by the great clans.
This was especially true for some thousand-year-old aristocratic families.
In the court.
Most of the officials were from aristocratic families.
The parents of the various prefectures and counties were basically recommended by the local aristocratic families.
The interests of these aristocratic families were intertwined, and a slight change in one would affect the entire situation.
They were like the roots that had taken root in the deepest part of the Imperium. If they wanted to uproot them, they would have to endure the excruciating pain.
Wu Mei Niang currently had two biggest problems.
First, how to stabilize one's throne after ascending to the throne.
Ying Changan had already helped her solve this problem in the story.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods were used.
Find a vicious dog and use all means to bite people until they are afraid.
When the situation was out of control, he would directly issue an edict to kill the evil dog.
Not only could he stabilize the throne, but he could also gain fame.
It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Wu Meiniang planned to take action immediately after boarding the plane.
The other biggest problem was how to deal with the thousand-year-old aristocratic families of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Wu Meiniang was not the only one. The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a headache over the aristocratic families, but they were helpless.
If they offended them, the entire empire would fall apart in an instant.
He might not even be able to keep his position as emperor.
Wu Meiniang had racked her brains, but like the previous emperors of the Great Zhou, she did not have any good ideas.
Now that Ying Changan suddenly said that he had a way to destroy the aristocratic families, how could she not be excited?
Even if this method came from a ridiculous story, Wu Meiniang was not willing to give up as long as there was a possibility.
Not just her.
Even Fatty Di narrowed his eyes and listened quietly. Even his breathing became much calmer.
He also wanted to know what method Ying Changan would use to solve this problem.
……
On the high platform.
Ying Changan raised his little head in the face of many doubts. He did not care at all.
"Whether you believe it or not, I'll make the decision for my story.”
His childish words made everyone laugh again.
Immediately after.
Everyone quieted down and continued to listen to Ying Changan.
"The first method that Empress Wu Zhao used was to compile the 'Book of Surnames.”
"Then, someone will ask, what is the 'Book of Surnames? This is a very good question. Let me tell you slowly.”
Ying Changan sat at the edge of the high platform and shook his head like a little adult.
Her cute and humorous appearance made many people laugh secretly.
"The so-called surname register is to include the names of officials above the fifth rank in the court, while those below the fifth rank are all abolished.”
"In other words, from now on, the surnames of aristocratic families will be decided by the imperial court. Only officials of the fifth rank and above have the right to spread their reputation.”
"This is equivalent to completely destroying the roots of the aristocratic families. After all, there were aristocratic families all over the empire, and there were only a handful of people who could reach the fifth rank and above.”
"Except for the largest aristocratic families, the privileges of thousands of aristocratic families as officials have all been removed.”
"Other than that, Wu Zhao added another condition. Any citizen of the empire who had accumulated military merits and farming merits to reach the fifth rank and above could enter the surname record and bring honor to their ancestors.”
"Even a slave can become a noble as long as he can contribute to the empire.”
"This is the first method that the empress used.”
"The second method she used was also her trump card. She used the imperial examination system to select talents.”
"She announced that no matter what identity or status one has, one can participate in the imperial examination held by the Imperial Court and seek a path to promotion through the examination.”
"The previous method of recommendation between the aristocratic families has been completely abolished.”
" The appearance of the 'Book of Surnames' and the imperial examination system gave the poor masses hope of turning over a new leaf, lighting up a glimmer of light in the vast darkness.”
"From then on, countless diligent students stepped onto the path of the imperial examination.”
" The aristocratic families, which were originally in a monopoly position, were unable to recover after a series of combined punches from Empress Wu Zhao. They gradually disappeared in the long river of history.”
"These are the two methods Wu Zhao used to deal with the aristocratic families.”
" Wu Zhao is just a woman, but she opened the door for all the students in the world to be promoted. With this achievement alone, she was able to sit firmly on the throne and make the people in the world willingly call her Your Majesty!”
"It was also from this moment on that, under Empress Wu Zhao's iron fist rule, the empire experienced unprecedented prosperity.”
