Chapter 453: Aristocratic Family and Noble Family

Strength is the foundation of everything, everything else is empty!
What truth, what morality, what ethics, are all rules set by humans, and you only need to have the power to break everything, then you can set the rules however you want.

But what if you don’t have the strength?
Li Qingyuan felt that let alone expecting Shan Wanjing to come up with a three-way combination, he estimated that Zhu Yuyan would be able to beat him so badly that he was at a loss!
So, before you are able to protect yourself, it is better to keep a low profile.

The reason why I thought about taking action today is because it’s almost time!

After being decadent for such a long time, his strength has gone from just entering the Grandmaster stage to the peak of the Grandmaster stage, and his attributes in all aspects are even higher than those of the Grand Master. The reason why he has not made a breakthrough is probably because the opportunity has not come yet?

Or is there any other reason?
It’s just like the leveling stuck in the game. When you reach a certain level, you must complete the main storyline, otherwise you won’t be able to upgrade!

Now he can proudly say that even if the Buddhists shamelessly launch a sneak attack, even if the grandmaster shamelessly challenges him in a duel, he can kill the opponent in a one-on-one fight!
So!

Now that you have the ability to protect yourself, you can do whatever you want!

"So where should we take the first step now?"

Li Qingyuan grabbed Shan Wanjing's head and slapped it to the bottom, then asked Shen Luoyan.

As the young leader of the Dongming Sect, Shan Wanjing can hold her breath underwater for two hours without breathing, so it is quite convenient to use.

"Master? First of all, I want to ask, are the troops in Luoyang City yours? Or the Dugu family's?"

Shen Luoyan ignored Dugu Feng's murderous look and asked directly.

In essence, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang City are actually all private property of the Dugu family. They were sponsored by the Dugu family to Li Qingyuan to build his empire.

Now that the entire force is still only separatist, there is naturally nothing much to say, but if they wait until they truly rule the world, there will be a big problem on how to distribute the benefits!

Besides, the current leader of the Dugu family, You Chuhong, is considered to have vision, but who knows if the successor will continue to be smart?
What should we do if the other party feels that he has contributed the most and should benefit the most?
Shen Luoyan felt that before conquering the world, he must first consider these things clearly to avoid major problems later on!
Why has the Jin Dynasty always been called a magical dynasty and even ranked below the Qing Dynasty as the bottom of all dynasties? Isn't it because the Sima family did such inhumane things that they could only delegate power to the major wealthy families in order to gain their support if they wanted to become emperor, which made the aristocratic families become powerful and caused chaos in the world!

This can be seen from the fact that the Dugu family can mobilize an army of 100,000 at any time, how powerful these aristocratic families are. Emperor Yang of Sui was known as the world's number one prodigal son. It is true that this was due to his eagerness for quick success and his personality, but these aristocratic families definitely played an important role in driving the situation behind the scenes.

The influence of the evil of the aristocratic families lasted until the end of the Tang Dynasty, until Huang Chao took the family tree and began to clear them out one by one. Only then was this cancer, which was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty, rose in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and had been passed down for thousands of years, finally put to an end.

"Of course it's mine. The Dugu family is just helping to manage it temporarily. If anyone is not suitable, just withdraw. If there are any explosives, just kill them!"

Li Qingyuan said nonchalantly. Although he was not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them, if the Dugu family behaved well and became descendants, he would naturally ensure their eternal wealth. However, if they had any inappropriate thoughts, he would not tolerate them. "Yes!"

Shen Luoyan immediately accepted the order with joy. She came from a poor family and had always disliked those aristocratic families since she was a child. Unfortunately, she was powerless to resist. Now that she had Li Qingyuan's order, she could capture those aristocratic families and make trouble for them in the future.

Dugu Feng didn't say anything. Although she was very unhappy with what Shen Luoyan had done, she also knew that this was inevitable.

"After returning to Luoyang, I will directly issue a recruitment order. Anyone who thinks they are knowledgeable can apply. You will be responsible for the interviews, and those who are talented will be hired directly!"

Since the issue of family background came up, Li Qingyuan directly gave instructions to Shen Luoyan.

In fact, the imperial examination system is the best. Even though it has been criticized in later generations, in fact, even more than a thousand years later, it is still the most important means of selecting talents.

Of course, it’s just a different way of saying it!

However, I am in a hurry to hire people now, and it is obviously too late to take the imperial examination. It is better to have an interview first, and then start the imperial examination after the situation is a little stable.

After all, Shen Luoyan was right. The army of more than 100,000 was nominally his, but all the commanders from top to bottom were from the Dugu family. Even if he was conquering the world, these soldiers were just there to cheer him on, but that wasn't the way to play it, right?

Hurry up and recruit some of our own people. Don't just replace all the generals and officers, but at least replace half of them and get rid of those who are just waiting to die.

Shen Luoyan kowtowed excitedly on the spot. Fortunately, Shan Wanjing was still busy, otherwise she would have pounced on him.

She was just a military advisor to Li Mi. It sounded very classy, but in fact, she didn't even have a formal appointment. Li Mi would just ask for her opinion during the war, and let her go home wherever she wanted after the battle. She was a temporary worker without even a regular position.

And now she can actually directly control the personnel power, even if it is only temporary, but this is also the most important right!

Since ancient times, the Minister of Personnel has been the head of all officials. It is the first time in history that a woman like me can sit in this position!
Even if he cannot officially hold the position, as long as he has this experience, Shen Luoyan has already prepared a draft for how to write his future biography!

"This? Let her be the supervisor? Isn't that inappropriate? And once you issue this recruitment order, the major families will definitely be restless!"

Dugu Feng then said slowly:

She said that she was doing this for Li Qingyuan's sake. Not to mention that many people would be dissatisfied with letting a woman be the chief examiner, the recruitment order alone is a double-edged sword!
How did the Sima family seize the Cao Wei regime?

Wasn't it because Cao Wei used the Talent Recruitment Order to win over the hearts of the lower-class gentry, allowing them to obtain a large number of official positions, which led to the dissatisfaction of the great aristocratic families? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Sima family to usurp the throne, right?
After all, as children of aristocratic families, they are born to enjoy wealth and glory, and they can become officials as soon as they reach adulthood. It is certain that there are talented people among them, but the probability of waste and scum is many times greater than that of talented people!
You ask them to compete with those kids from poor families for jobs, isn’t that a joke?
The reason why the Sui Dynasty ended so quickly was because Yang Guang wanted to replace the recommendation system with the imperial examination system, which caused chaos in the world!
