Chapter 80 The will of God is hard to defy
Pei Min looked at Cui Yan, Lu Yi, Zheng Qian and Li Zai casually.
His two requirements were not difficult at all, but they were very simple, but they made Cui Yan, Lu Yi, Zheng Qian and Li Zai ponder for a long time, and they were unable to make up their minds for a while.
The ancestral school is their base for training talents and their foundation.
To reduce the number of ancestral schools, transfer excellent teachers from the clan to public schools, and teach the knowledge of poor families is equivalent to using their own few resources to help the enemy.
Now they can no longer achieve cultural dictatorship, and the teaching staff is the greatest advantage.
Once your own teaching staff is weakened, various disadvantages will arise.
The four of them didn't let Pei Min wait for a long time.
The youngest Lu Yi was also the most courageous and said loudly: "As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we have no salary to eat the king, and we will share our worries because of the country's service. Our Lu family is willing to obey the arrangements of the Duke and do our best to cooperate with the court's policies."
Cui Yu, Zheng Qian, and Li Zai heard that Lu Yi responded and knew that the situation should not be rejected. Moreover, there was still a lot of room for operation. It seemed to be a crisis, but it was acceptable.
Thinking of this, the remaining three people agreed.
Pei Min smiled and said, "I went to the palace to check in the afternoon. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. I can only say that I can do my best."
"I thank the Duke in this way!" Cui Xuan, Zheng Qian, Li Zai and Lu Li were all overjoyed when they heard this and worshiped carefully.
The four of them had no thoughts, but they did not stay for a long time, so they said goodbye and left.
But Kudi stayed.
Pei Min removed the tea from the five people and asked someone to send him the tea that He Zhizhang gave him, saying, "I have Yunnan tea sent from Bashu here, which was given to me by my brother He. He is the Minister of Rites and often interacts with officials from all over the country. He has many gifts and is not willing to take it out just now. Old lady, you can taste it..."
Huayang's wife Kudi sighed angrily: "Why should the court kill us? Besides, you really naively think that Cui Yu, Lu Yi, Zheng Qian and Li Zai are easy to deal with? Today they respectfully worshipped you because they have something to ask for. As long as this matter is over, even if they dare not fight against you openly and sing against you, they will respond to all your requests. But naturally, let those classroom teachers disobey and disobey them and only take their salary and don't care about it. What can you do?"
Pei Min looked at Mrs. Huayang and sighed softly, "Old Madam, do they really think I can't see what they think? It's just that I disdain and don't want to care about the details with them. I know your good intentions for the Pei family. Let me say something you don't want to listen to. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. In the face of the general trend, anyone's resistance is a joke and is useless. It's better to let go."
"I know, they are not so easy to compromise. I made Zhang Liang's plan, and he had a wall ladder. But in the end, it cannot be changed. That is, the Tao is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller. This grievance will eventually be paid back one day. The aristocratic family has declined and is about to come to an end. Not to mention the nameless people like Cui Yan, Zheng Qian, Li Zai, and Lu Yi, even Xie An, Wang Dao, and these leading figures of the clan will not be able to change this situation."
Pei Min's words were firmly said: "In front of you, I am not afraid of saying a ruthless word. The current aristocratic families are like the world's general trend. The world's general trend will be together for a long time, and the unity will be together for a long time. No dynasty can be exceptional, like this in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the future of our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is actually the stupidest thing for you to regard the court as a strong enemy. Your enemy is not the court, but the general trend. If you look at all this rationally and follow the court, you may be able to maintain a little longer. Just seek to reappear the glory of the past, then the result will be like a moth flying into the fire, and it will eventually lead to self-destruction."
Finally, Pei Min looked at Kudi with a serious expression and said, "The old lady is not the court, nor is it me, Pei Min, but this heaven!"
He pointed to the sky and said, "What I did today is just paving the way for the general trend..."
Kudi laughed and said, "The Duke's words are thought-provoking, and the old student should think carefully."
Kudi said this, but the boss felt disapproving.
I feel that Pei Min is a little alarmist. No matter how lonely a family is, it still has a certain foundation.
From the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, the world has changed batch after batch, and the emperor has also taken turns over and over again, but their aristocratic family is still the same.
Even if you encounter a ruthless emperor like Wu Zetian, you will still survive it, what else can you not survive?
Pei Min didn't care whether Kudi really listened to it or pretended to listen to it. Anyway, he said that.
The times are progressing, and anything that violates the truth and hinders progress will be eliminated.
Even if Pei Min did not exist in history, the most famous Niu Li party struggle would appear a hundred years later.
The poor commoners, who represented the Jinshi, defeated the aristocratic races that represented the Shandong genius since the Northern Dynasties, thus proclaiming the decline of the aristocratic races.
Pei Min discovered that because of his appearance, the court paid more attention to the imperial examination, further presenting the situation of recruiting scholars without caring for family background and marriage without caring for family members, which accelerated the demise of the gentry.
In this situation, the decline of the gentry will be further advanced.
At first there was no chance, but now the aristocratic family is here, so Pei Min also paved the way for the future.
I also hope that when the aristocratic family declines, they can stop it in time.
To prevent the end of the aristocratic family from a party struggle that lasted for nearly forty years, as in history.
After all, the Niu Li party struggle is self-internal friction and is not worth showing off.
What is depleted is the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Being able to survive peacefully is the real beauty.
The two of them no longer discuss this matter in detail.
After today's incident, Pei Min also clearly understood the cruelty in the political arena.
Although he was not damaged this time, it was enough to sound a wake-up call for him.
Kudi's political thinking was easy-going and outstanding, no less than Shangguan Wan'er at that time, and even more so.
After all, she is living well now, and the inner figure, the body has turned into bones.
Pei Min has two lifetimes of talent and cleverness, and can deal with interest disputes in the political arena, which is really not as old as Kudi.
Most of the reason why he was able to survive to this day was that he gained the respect and trust of Li Longji, rather than climbing up step by step in the stormy political arena.
I also asked Kudi very devoutly for advice here.
Although Kudi's family had different opinions from Pei Min because of the affairs of the aristocratic family, he could distinguish between the main and the second.
Pei Min's existence has more advantages than disadvantages to the Pei family, and he also patiently teaches him his experience in the political arena.
Kudi also made an analysis on the current situation and also gave Pei Min a piece of advice: "Your Majesty values selfishness the most. No matter when and where, the Duke of the State should remember one thing and never ask about his family affairs. Even if he does not agree with his approach, he should not openly oppose himself. Please remember this."
