Qin Yuan looked at the two people's puzzled eyes and smiled softly: "You guys, don't just look at the present, look at the long-term."

"Yes, that's right. If the examiner's selection is announced in advance, the people from the noble families will try to bribe the examiner with all their might."

"Why stop them? Just let them buy it off."

"How much trouble would it take to publish a list of 20 or 30 people a year in advance and bribe them one by one?"

"Besides, how many descendants do the Nine Clans have? How can they divide it?"

"In the end, won't those who didn't get a place have to go to Beijing alone to fight for it?"

"The family can't give them opportunities, so they can only fight for them on their own."

"As a result, if most of the children of aristocratic families want to enter the government, they won't just stay at home and study hard."

"I still have to go to Jingzhou to try my luck and see if I can win the favor of the examiner."

"In this case, won't they all come to Beijing to look for opportunities?"

"Where will these people settle down after leaving home, and where will they make friends?"

"After decades away from home, even if I return home in disgrace, everything has changed and people have changed. What is left of the village besides the taste of my childhood?"

“…”

Qin Yuan's words provided Minglou with an unprecedented idea.

It’s true.

When marking test papers, personal emotions are always involved.

If you can win the favor of the examiner in advance, your chances of passing the imperial examination will naturally be much greater.

In this way, the opportunities you can get by coming to Jingzhou are far better than staying at home.

In order to obtain official positions, a large number of children from aristocratic families became migrant workers in Beijing. They struggled for decades in Jingzhou to gain fame and favor from dignitaries.

Only a few people can survive.

When a large group of people fail the college entrance examination and return to their hometown, they have been away from their hometown for decades, and everything in their family has changed. How much relationship do they still have?

Just like the poem:

Left home when young and returned when old,

My accent hasn't changed, but my hair has turned gray.

Children meet each other without knowing each other,

I asked the guest with a smile where he came from.

In the long run, the originally complex network of relationships will naturally become unsustainable.

No more spending time together day and night.

Decades of working together are gone.

People like this cannot unite even if they want to.

If this plan is adopted, the power of the aristocratic families and their control over the local areas can be greatly reduced in just a hundred years.

It’s high, really high!

Moreover, this strategy is entirely aimed at people's hearts.

Even if the people from the Nine Surnames Families saw through it, what would be the use?

Can they stop their young people from going out to strive for their future?

Can they stop their own young people from taking the imperial examinations?

impossible.

There are only so many people admitted to the imperial examination every year.

How many people in the world are eyeing those few spots?

In the end, it will only lead to endless internal competition among these families.

Of course, this will also hurt students from poor families.

But it doesn’t matter. There are a large number of students from poor families, so there will always be plenty of talented people.

But the power of the aristocratic family has been weakened!

"Sure, kid!" Minglou had figured it out and praised it highly. "How did you come up with this idea?"

Minglou was very curious about how Qin Yuan came up with such a conspiracy to disintegrate the local forces.

Well……

How to answer this?

You can't say that you learned it from history books in your previous life.

It was with this idea that Datong persuaded scholars to leave their hometowns and come to the capital to try their luck.

Reciting poems and writing essays, crazy internal circulation.

Use fame and poetry as visiting cards to gain the favor of high-ranking officials and rise to prominence from then on!

By accident, a golden age of literature was opened.

Popular poems came one after another.

When these people who came to Beijing to work have no hope of passing the imperial examinations and return home, are there any familiar people there?

The power of the aristocratic families was greatly reduced.

It was not until the Huang Chao Uprising and the raising of the butcher knife that the world realized that the aristocratic families, which were once as terrifying as behemoths, had no ability to resist.

Under the combined influence of these factors, the aristocratic family that had been entrenched for thousands of years was finally eliminated.

Since then, there has never been another family alliance with such terrifying influence that can overthrow the dynasty.

This is all written in history books, and it’s experience that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Qin Yuan smiled and didn't answer. He just raised his eyes to glance at the sky in the distance and stretched.

This action made Ming Lou and Ming Zhanxue feel that the person in front of them was terrifying and unfathomable.

Fortunately, he is one of us.

Otherwise, if he were to be murdered one day, he would probably still be helping him count his money.

Just as the two were sighing, Qin Yuan spoke again.

"In fact, this plan has a whole set of follow-up operations, which is enough to make the noble families dumbfounded."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Minglou was so excited that he couldn't wait to say it.

Good job!

How many rings does this chain of schemes have?

I started out selling newspapers and have been doing this for a long time.

Even if someone sees through one or two layers of this scheme, it's still hard to see through it completely...

Qin Yuan looked at his father-in-law and asked solemnly, "Old man, how much money do you have now?"

"How many houses do you have?"

"How much real estate can you afford to buy in Jingzhou, and how many houses can you build?"

"What do you mean?" Minglou's brain was no longer enough and he couldn't keep up with Qin Yuan's thoughts.

Newspapers, imperial examinations, how come they are related to houses again?

"Old man, think about it, after a large number of children from aristocratic families enter Jingzhou."

"What these people eat and where they live is a big business."

"Good things should be kept within the family. How can we let others take advantage of such a good thing?"

“There’s a huge business opportunity here!”

Is there anyone who can handle the Great Zhou version of urbanization and the vigorous development of real estate?

well--

Being invincible is so lonely.

Qin Yuan slowly turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, leaving only his back.

The breeze blows, and the sleeves flutter.

This makes the back look even more majestic.

His words had completely brought Minglou to his knees.

As early as when he was in college, he knew that his son-in-law had a mind for making money.

But he never expected that Qin Yuan was so good at making money!

How come he can make a lot of money immediately once something comes into his hands?

What the hell is this brain like?

If he could be promoted to the position of Minister of Revenue.

Will the Great Zhou treasury still be short of money?

I really didn’t make a mistake in choosing this son-in-law!
