"The root cause of the problem is no longer to kill the family, but to the bureaucratic structure, and whether the people can easily obtain books and knowledge.
To understand Cao Chong's words, the first thing is to understand how he came into being in the family, how he came into being, and what methods to use to eliminate them.
The reason for the emergence of the family that Cao Cao said before is just a superficial phenomenon.
To know how the family came about, it is inevitable to involve the political background and era of the time.
So, how did the family come to be This problem can be traced back to how Haoqiang appeared.
The emergence of the two heroes is caused by a combination of factors.
Such as meritorious families, relatives, Confucian families, old nobles, etc.
Combined with some of the views of the predecessors: respecting Confucianism makes Haoqiang gradually associated with Confucianism, and the result of studying scriptures for many generations is to become an official for many generations, and the so-called through the scriptures and enter the office.
The result of successive generations of officials is the accumulation of wealth {land property} and connections (protégés).
Some wealthy families are gradually dissatisfied with economic prosperity and constantly demand a close relationship with political rights.
They controlled the township elections, served as local officials, and gradually formed the big surnames and crown clans, and gradually crossed from the powerful to the scholar clans in the two Jin Dynasty, which was also a long evolutionary process.
The family is by no means a scum, the reputation of the family was ruined in the two Jin dynasties, and after the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a imperial examination system and cheap paper, and there were more and more talents among the children of the common people, and the family has always been the main source of talents during the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
The Eastern Han Dynasty celebrities and scholars were all one of the few in history, and the quality of talents provided by the family during the Three Kingdoms period was also a handful.
Like the author of the online article, the th clan is self-defeating, and Sun Ce is a living example.
The monopoly of culture is only an inevitable stage of social development.
In the initial stage of papermaking, printing technology was not, and most of them were bamboo slips, animal skin paper, etc., which led to the high cost of culture, and only a few wealthy people could learn culture.
And it is impossible to find a few illiterate people in the selection of officials, only the scholars.
Therefore, the more educated the scholars, the more rights, and the more rights, the more cultured.
Qiongrén wanted to get culture, and he could only become a vassal or disciple of the scholars, and become a part of the strength of the scholars.
The inevitability of social development is not influenced by manpower.
That's why the Maison came into being.
If Cao Cao wants to exterminate the family, there will be a great risk first, and if he is not careful, he will take the entire Wei State on it, and he will not even be able to solve the problem.
And even if Cao Cao wiped out all the families, in less than a few decades, the current exterminated families would take root again.
Exterminating the family was not a fundamental solution, but a fundamental policy was what Cao Chong did in Liangzhou.
Spread the knowledge.
When the talents that can be selected by a country are no longer only from the family, the power of the family can be truly eliminated.
This truth is only understood by Cao Chong as a person who travels through time, and Boss Cao, as a person of this era, although he is a hero in the world, he will not understand these truths.
For example, now Cao Cao is going to wipe out the family.
Of course Cao Cao didn't understand what Cao Chong said, but fortunately, Cao Cao was also very willing to listen to opinions, and he immediately asked: "What does Cang Shu mean by this, what is the connection between the official system and the easier access to knowledge for the common people and the elimination of the family?"
Cao Chong looked at Cao Cao, and the words came out slowly.
"If it weren't for the Han system, how could officials be county guards in one place for a lifetime, and if the county guards were done for a long time, in the local area, wouldn't the county guards have power, and these forces would become the prototype of the family."
Cao Cao nodded, he could understand this truth.
"How does Cangshu think it should be restructured" "You can set up the post of Taishou County Guard, but you must arrange a general judgment around Taishou County Guard, and place the county lieutenant in charge of the army, and change the jurisdiction in three years."
Cao Chong suggested that Cao Cao's official system was somewhat similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty, but instead of adopting the central official system of the Northern Song Dynasty, the local official system of the Northern Song Dynasty was adopted.
To put it bluntly, the general judgment is to supervise the actions of the Taishou, and the county lieutenant is in charge of the military power, that is to say, the original Taishou has the military power zhèngán, and it is the existence of the local emperor in a local county, but if it is according to Cao Chong's suggestion, the original power of the Taishou is divided into two, and the power of these two parts is also sanctioned by the general judgment.
In this way, Taishou will not be able to take root in the local county for a long time, and he will not be able to do illegal things, so the family will naturally not be able to take root.
Cao Chong thought that his explanation was clear enough, but Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked, "What is the general judgment?"
Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The so-called general judgment is the matter of supervision, which can supervise the county lieutenant and go directly to the central government." ” was explained by Cao Chong like this, and Cao Cao completely understood.
This is to reduce the power of the Taishou.
Cao Cao thought about it carefully and found that Cao Chong's method was indeed good.
"If we follow Cangshu's method, the family's problems may be eliminated from the root."
Cao Chong shook his head.
"Just by relying on this reform of the official system, it is impossible to make the family disappear, at most let the family appear slowly."
"Why is that?"
Cao Chong smiled and said: "The reason is very simple, although changing local policies can change the time when the family was born, but in the election of officials, in addition to choosing the people of the family, who can the father choose?"

"I can" Cao Cao stopped talking when he said these three words, and he immediately understood what Cao Chong meant.
"Cangshu means that even if the power is divided, the family is still there, and the key is to open the wisdom of the people" Cao Chong nodded.
"Only those poor families, those children of good families can read and become talents, will the family really decline, the court does not rely on the family, and the family will naturally have no meaning to exist."
Open the wisdom of the people Cao Cao fell silent.
"Cangshu can know the consequences of opening people's wisdom" When Cao Cao said this, Cao Chong immediately understood Cao Cao's worries.
Under the ancient Chinese monarchy, the monarch held all the power of the state and was the supreme ruler.
And the highest level of foolishness lies in making the subjects superstitious about the monarch.
Since it is difficult to develop superstitions about mortals, an important goal of the art of fooling the people is to deify the monarch in the minds of the people.
First, the monarch is alienated.
As early as the era of slavery, rulers took advantage of people's worship and fear of "gods" to combine monarchy with divine power.
The monarch of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was called the "Son of Heaven", and the monarch called himself "Yu Yi".
This title indicates that the monarch is the son of heaven, has the nature of a union between man and God, and is a "man of man" above all men.
God has supreme and absolute authority, and royal authority is granted by God.
As the son of God, the representative of God, and the incarnation of God on earth, the monarch shares honor and co-governance with God.
The "god" is the god in the sky, and the monarch is the "lower emperor" in the earth.
The rule of the monarch is the rule of God.
In this way, who dares to defy God's authority can go against God's will This theocratic lie was one of the earliest foolish tactics of the slavery era.
Second, the mystification of the monarch's person.
The alienation of the gods of the human race puts the monarch in a special position between man and god.
However, no matter what kind of "supernatural things" the blood origin has, it cannot change the fact that the monarch is a human and not a god after all.
As a result, the art of fooling the people has to come up with new tricks, using various means to shroud the monarch with all kinds of mysterious colors.
Even if the monarch is a human, his physical appearance is also different from ordinary people.
Third, the sovereign's personality is sacred.
To deify the monarch, it is also necessary to beautify the monarch's personality as much as possible.
Only in this way can the monarch's spiritual inspiration power to his subjects be increased.
"The king of the sacred, the king of the benevolent and wise, the chief of the warriors, the way of heaven and the affection of man" In fact, the ancient monarchs not only could not possess the above virtues, but also did not need them In fact, to pursue these virtues.
All they had to do was a hypocritical show, and as long as they created the illusion of the divine perfection of the monarch's personality in the minds of their subjects, they would have achieved their goal.
It is not in fact necessary for a monarch to possess all the virtues, "but it is necessary to appear to possess all these qualities."
"Be merciful, faithful, humane, upright, godly and faithful."
Although in political practice the monarch "often has to be treacherous, unkind, inhumane, and contrary to the way of God," great care should be taken to "never slip out of one's own mouth a word that is not imbued with the five virtues mentioned above, and to make those who see and hear the monarch think that the monarch is a man of great compassion, faithfulness, humanity, and devotion to God" In order to maintain the glorious image of the monarch in the eyes of his subjects, it is impossible for any shortcomings and faults to be related to the monarch.
Whenever a natural disaster struck, in order to alleviate the people's dissatisfaction and resistance, the ancient Chinese monarchs would sometimes issue "edicts against themselves" to make a light self-examination.
The purpose is very obvious, that is, the so-called "sin is used to win people's hearts", but the real substantive responsibility for the crime must not be borne by the monarch, and is often borne by the vassals instead of the monarch.
Thus, in the arena of political struggle, the role of "scapegoat" appeared.
If Cao Cao had opened up the wisdom of the people of Wei, what would have been the consequences The emperor is also a human being, he is really not very clever, and he is not necessarily wise, but there are too few capable people in the world, and those who do not meet the norms of "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world" are either in prison or in hell.
The rest of the people who can do the work have undergone the unique training of the emperor, so that they only have the emperor in their minds, the country is the emperor, and doing things for the emperor is to contribute to the country.
And the common people, can only face the loess with their backs to the sky, for three meals a day can not straighten their waists, can not raise their heads, just like the current houses and housing prices, one acre and three points of land, enough for them to work for several generations, even so, three generations of poor peasants can still be seen everywhere, in fact, this is not unexpected, the country, no, the emperor does not want you to eat at all, you can't be full.
Other than that, what you can do and what you can think Now we can learn something through the Internet, if it was ancient times, do you expect the common people to know what the emperor looks like?
The emperor is a smart man who has seen the big men of the world, and the common people, who have worked in a field for three generations, have not supported the family of qiongrén, more precisely, fools, like a donkey who is blindfolded, who only pulls and grinds, never thinks about why he is a donkey, they don't think about it at all, once they do, it is not good.
This is also the reason why the rulers of successive dynasties from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have hoped to fool the people.
If it was because he wanted to get rid of the family, but instead let more terrible enemies appear, this was definitely not the scene Cao Cao wanted to see.
"Cangshu understands that if the people's wisdom is opened, there may be even greater disasters" Of course, there is such a risk in opening up people's intelligence.
But what Cao Chong wants is not to fully open the wise.
With the printing technology of this era, it was really difficult to popularize books.
This is true even if Cao Chong invented movable type printing.
Later generations have already given Cao Chong a good example, that is, the imperial examination system.

The imperial examination system is naturally difficult to implement in today's prosperous era.
But that was before, if Boss Cao could arrange the family clearly, the imperial examination system was not impossible.
Of course, the family will grow if the family is killed, but it also means that no one in the court will be able to stop the implementation of the imperial examination system in a short time.
In this way, under the relaxed policy, the common people will definitely study frantically in order to be officials, and within twenty years, the family will no longer be the dominant force in the court.
And the power that dominates the court comes from the poor family, from the children of good families, and from ordinary people.
In disguise, it is also in the hands of the supreme ruler.
Cao Chong immediately said what he wanted to express.
The first time he heard such a thing as the imperial examination system, Cao Cao's face began to show surprise, and then Cao Cao showed extreme excitement.
In fact, a long time ago, before Cao Cao became the co-lord of Kyushu, he was very jealous of the power of the family, but he couldn't find a way to do it.
In the end, he made a recruitment order, and the meritocracy was to elect some poor children to restrain the family.
But obviously, although the recruitment order had some effect, it did not achieve the effect that Cao Cao expected.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have faked his illness to deal with the family.
In fact, Cao Cao's deal with the family is also for the sake of latecomers.
If even Cao Cao can't control the family, then it is even more impossible for a latecomer to deal with the family.
This can be seen from Cao Pi in later generations.
Cao Pi naturally knew the threat of the family, but in order to secure the throne, Cao Pi had to trade with the family, and even came up with something like the Jiupin Zhongzheng system to please the family.
Today's Cao Cao is different from the Cao Cao of later generations, Cao Cao of later generations does not have the power to unify the world, so he naturally does not dare to attack the world's family, but he is now the co-owner of the world, so he can naturally attack the family, which is also where Boss Cao's confidence lies.
"If there is a imperial examination system, within twenty years, the family can indeed be wiped out invisibly."
Cao Cao agreed with Cao Chong's two methods.
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes looked at Cao Chong a little strangely Relieved, but also a little sad.
Relief is naturally Cao Chong's ability, and sadness is sadness that he has two such outstanding sons, which makes him not know how to choose for a while.
Why didn't Yuan Benchu have an outstanding son, but Gu's son had so many outstanding sons For the first time, Cao Cao was bothered by his son's excellence:
