Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 996: Shocked Awakening on the Ranking of Products and Surnames

"Tuoba Yulu has always had great ambitions. Even if he can be recruited, he cannot stay for a long time. If he is allowed to return to Youzhou and enter the system, he may be able to make friends with all parties and win over one person. It weakens the lord’s strength, but it’s different on the grassland.”

Chen Jing sorted out his ideas in a very short period of time, and it was not a temporary thought. On the way here, even when he was escaping with Tuoba Yulu, he talked and tested with him. The embryonic form of the idea can be described as thoughtful. The more I talk about it at this time, the smoother my thoughts become——

"Grassland tribes come and go like the wind. If they are strong, they will join, and if they are weak, they will leave. If Tuoba Yulu entered the seventh rank, others would think that he was not powerful enough, so he defected to a tribe, and then there were many Tuoba The clan members will take him as a reference and come to join him, and eventually a common surname will be formed among the seventh-grade Xianbei."

"But in this way, wouldn't it be easier for him to win over people?" Ran Zhan couldn't help but ask again, with a thoughtful look on his face, "You said that he can win over others in Youzhou, but Youzhou is a court system, and it is easy to win over others." You won't give up the wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains and follow him to the grasslands to enjoy the breeze, right?"

But Chen Jing shook his head and said: "No, General Ran is now a school captain, and he is valued by his lord. He has a bright future, so he naturally despises Tuoba's recruitment, but what if it was before?"

Ran Zhan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and suddenly felt that this was reasonable.

Now that I have military power and many friends, Chen Zhi values ​​me even more. My future is bright. My family and clan are all coming to join me, and everyone is flattering me. I am living a decent life, and I can also perform meritorious service on the battlefield. It is really satisfying. , but if it were in the past, he was a son of a poor military family, even if his family had some foundation, how far could he go if he struggled desperately?If it were at this time, the Tuoba tribe might be willing to be chopped off if they were promised status, and the goods would belong to their own people, and there would be no need to worry about the differences between Huayi and Huayi!
"Not only General Ran has a military background, but there are also some people who are even more tempted," Chen Jing said. He did not look at Ran Zhan, but at Chen Zhi, and lowered his voice and said, "It is that boy from a poor family. Now that the world is unstable, many People say it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but in my opinion, it is mostly man-made disasters. Most of the people who cause trouble are refugees. However, those who can become successful are all led by children of poor families or outstanding people from poor families. These people have learned civil and military skills, but have been promoted. It is normal to have no way out and to fall into the weeds in the end. During the time I have been living outside the Great Wall, I have seen many people from poor families in the Central Plains go to seek refuge."

When Chen Zhi heard this, he looked at Chen Jing in surprise, and then he realized that this young man in the clan had such knowledge.

Gao Bin suddenly said: "My lord just said in the big tent that after the Wei family entered Tuoba, he suggested that Shanyu Tuoba Yilu recruit Han scholars, and Tuoba Yilu also met Murong Chonghan and built Jiji. The city was quite effective, so we adopted the suggestion, and more and more people went to defect to it, and there were also many families who had lost power in the Central Plains, and their whole families took refuge!"

Chen Jing glanced at Gao Bing, nodded slightly, and continued: "Yes, there are also children from the Central Plains families who have gone to seek refuge."

Chen Zhi sighed with emotion: "There is no way to report, so I can only choose this path. There are no poor families in the upper class. If poor families want to show their talents, they have to find a place. You are right. If Tuoba Yulu defected to Youzhou, continue to recruit people with Tuoba Yilu's ideas. Soon, the poor people in Youzhou and even the North will know who he is. Most people from the north are fleeing outside the Great Wall, especially in Youzhou. In the future, There should be new policies to improve things.”

When Chen Jing listened, he immediately thought of Daijun's screening system. It was through screening that many talents were found when selecting positions in the General Mansion. The high-ranking candidate in front of him seemed to have come from this.

Thinking this, he glanced at Gao Bing again, but saw that the latter remained calm.

However, Ran Zhan asked again: "Then it's different when you go to the grassland? Isn't it easier to win over the barbarians in Qipin Xianbei?"

"This is different," Chen Jing paused. "The seventh-grade Xianbei has been restricted by the master. There are seven grades. From bottom to top, they all have their own requirements, each has their own advantages and disadvantages, and they have different requirements for the tribe. The most important thing is the population and cattle and sheep. Most of the seventh-grade Xianbei women are still in Youzhou. They can only come back to visit in batches for the time being. As for the next generation of children, not to mention the next generation of children, even Meng Xue Start using the words of sages and learn the "Shi Shuo". Even if you come to join Tuoba Yulu, you will be restricted once you join this system."

Gao Bing also nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you join the seventh rank, even if the person leaves, the descendants will be affected. And once you enter, you will not just take refuge in Tuoba Yulu, but will be assimilated by the seventh rank step by step. , in the end, the number of people who can follow Tuoba Yulu is probably only three or four out of ten, but the remaining people can be regarded as a population increase."

Those who originally did not come back, because Tuoba Yulu came, ended up leaving half of them, but they still gained half of the population.Chen Jing nodded in agreement, but did not continue what he said. Instead, he mentioned one person: "In addition, there is another way to govern, which is to introduce another big surname."

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and signaled to continue.

Chen Jing mentioned a name: "Murong Han."

Ran Zhan and Gao both looked sideways.

The eldest son of Murong Shanyu, because he was a concubine, was not powerful in the clan. In the past, the Murong family valued his martial prowess, but as his power increased, the internal struggle for power became more intense. With the push of several Shanyu's heirs, Murong Chanyu Han led his troops to support Chen Zhi, and it was as if he had been sent away. No one wanted to recruit him back.

This time Murong Ren attacked Youzhou and finally fought with Chen Zhi. No one considered Murong Han's situation. If it had been someone else, he would have been sacrificed first.

As a result, by mistake, Daijun asked Murong Han to contact Murong's Ministry. Finally, the General's Office issued an order to chase him back. This also revealed some problems within the General's Office, and Chen Zhi was also Take note and prepare to improve.

At the moment, Murong Han was just staying in Jixian, but unexpectedly he was mentioned by Chen Jing.

"General Murong is currently in a dangerous situation, and it is not easy to serve in Youzhou, so why not let him join the seventh rank, just in time to introduce the surname Murong. The current seventh rank Yi Congli, begging and bald are the third rank, and the Duan family is the fourth rank , is one of the most popular surnames. If Tuoba joins, it may be ranked second, surpassing the three families at once. If it is too low, Tuoba Yulu cannot be willing to accept it. If he leaves, it will be difficult to control, which is a waste. It is better to Let’s introduce the Murong family to the second rank, and wait for some time to find an opportunity to raise the other three families to higher ranks to check and balance each other, which is the safest way.”

"If Murong is allowed to join, wouldn't it give Murong the opportunity to intervene and influence Qipin Xianbei?" Ran Zhan couldn't help but frown, "Murong Han has not given up on Murong."

"On the other hand, don't we also have something to gain from the Murong family?" Chen Jing was not timid, "If you are worried about this or that, it is just because you think the enemy is strong and we are weak. Now that the Zhengbei General's Mansion is famous in the north, which grassland tribe Are you not afraid when you hear the name of a general? How can you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment? It’s time to do great things!"

Chen Zhi listened and said with a smile: "That's true, but the seventh-grade Yi Cong is the auxiliary after all, and the soldiers of Youzhou are the foundation. I don't want Murong and Tuoba to come to the grassland, and there will be another seventh-grade hegemon. What's going on? , you must be sure that the place beyond the Great Wall is not a place to stay for a long time."

After hearing this, Chen Jing was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat.
