These days, Lin Yuan has been visiting most of the aristocratic families in the Yuan Dynasty. The fact that these families can leave their names on the scrolls, even if it is just the Haozhou family, the Li family, is enough to prove how powerful they are.
Aristocratic families do not necessarily have high-ranking officials, but they must have a large enough reputation in the local area. The local people rely on them to live, and even the officials sent by the imperial court have to look at their faces to live.
After all, officials are appointed for several years, but the family has remained unchanged for decades and centuries. It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the local snakes. The local snakes are intertwined in the local area, making it impossible for people to start.
Dadu also has such aristocratic families, but because Dadu is the place where the imperial power is most concentrated, most of the aristocratic families are shrinking, and they have long lost their status and abilities.
But that doesn't mean they've become slaughtered.
They have survived in the hands of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and have survived for so many generations. Their tentacles have also extended to the interior of the court of the Yuan Dynasty, and many officials are "funded" by them.
After all, the salary of an official is so much, and there are so many officials and dignitaries in the imperial city. Even if they make money, ordinary officials can't make much money.
Putting it outside, the fifth-rank officials are already high-ranking officials, but in Dadu, if a plaque is dropped on the road, it may kill several fifth-rank officials or royal relatives.
On the surface, officials are supported by them, but they are actually checks and balances on officials.
They have their own wisdom and spend money to get more benefits.
These noble families are of course afraid of Lin Yuan, but they are not very afraid of Lin Yuan.
To be precise, some of them think that God has changed its owner, and their chance has come.
So they wanted to talk to Lin Yuan about conditions.
They still have a lot of chips in their hands.
First, they have money and food.
Second, there are some of them, although they dare not openly, but they do have many servants, and even most people of the same surname are attached to them.
Third, they saw that what Lin Yuan was most anxious to do now was to stabilize Dadu.
This is their chance.
It is their chance to re-enter the court and regain the right to speak.
Of course, if Lin Yuan wasn't Nan Bodhisattva and didn't have such a good reputation, they wouldn't dare to negotiate terms with Lin Yuan, and they might have fled long ago.
It is precisely because of Lin Yuan's reputation that they think that Lin Yuan is a person who values a false reputation.
"There are indeed a few smart people." Lin Yuan looked at the submitted book.
Song Shizhao also sighed: "It's just useless on the right path."
Lin Yuan shook his head: "I can't blame them either."
In an aristocratic family, if there are no officials in it, it won't be long before they fall into disrepair, so they know that they may anger Lin Yuan, and they have to risk their whole family's lives to gamble.
If the family wants to be strong and prosperous, it must have a person standing by the emperor's side in every generation.
In the Yuan Dynasty, they couldn't do it, they could only shrink, so when Lin Yuan came out, they also came out.
They want to go crazy.
Now is the best chance. Lin Yuan has just entered Dadu, and he is not familiar with Dadu. There must not be many people who can use it. After all, it is impossible to bring all his confidants with him. , these people can't move temporarily, so they have the opportunity.
You can send your children to Lin Yuan.
Therefore, almost all the submissions Lin Yuan received were loyal to the aristocratic families, but what they said was very artistic and euphemistic.
It's about-
"The world has been in chaos for so long, and finally a hero like you has appeared. Although we are stupid, we also know that the capable people live in the world. Since you are here, it must be the choice of God, so we are willing to help you. You pacified Dadu, but we are the common people after all, and we are not qualified to help you, so we have chosen the best disciples in the family, and they will be sent to you as long as you are willing."
Song Shizhao took the submission from Lin Yuan. After reading it carefully, he smiled and said, "The person who wrote this article is a capable person."
This kind of article, one point less appears to be weak and bullying, and one more point seems to be domineering, and very few can be written like this.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There will be places where it can be used in the future."
The children of these aristocratic families have learned how to be an official since they were young, and they study for the purpose of being an official.
It was impossible for Lin Yuan to not use them, because after several years of ups and downs, it was these people who were most in need.
But he is not going to let these families go, and will not allow them to have any rights that do not belong to them.
They gave up their net worth to rely on Lin Yuan today, and they will get more things from Lin Yuan in the future. Today's sacrifice is for tomorrow's gain.
Song Shizhao understood what Lin Yuan meant. Although he could be regarded as a noble family, his family was too small after all. It was so small that he could only find a place to hide when changing dynasties. He didn't have much sense of identity with the aristocratic family. In some respects, like Lin Yuan, he felt that the aristocratic family got in the way and hindered the imperial power.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan's desire to use the disciples trained by the aristocratic family, Song Shizhao would be ready to propose that he would take this opportunity to wipe out the aristocratic family, lest they collude and cause trouble later.
"Leave them alone." Lin Yuan said, "Re-improve the employment system."
He wants to make the servants of the family become people again, and let the people create value, and these values do not belong to the family, but to him.
Song Shizhao agreed, and he suddenly said: "I have been busy these days, and I am afraid that I will not have enough energy. At this time, I can leave it to one person."
This is to recommend talents to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Who?"
Song Shizhao said: "This son is the son of the Zhao family. He is proficient in science and upright."
It is said that this person is good at mathematics, but he is a bit rigid and does not know how to adapt.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then call this person."
I don't know how to change it.
At this time, what he needs is someone who doesn't know how to change.
In this way, even if the aristocratic families hate him, they will not hate him.
Although he is not afraid that the family will hate him, it is better to have less than one thing, isn't it
So Zhao Jiazi took office. He is the only person in the Dadu family who became an official after changing the imperial court. His parents couldn't believe it when they received the edict from the inner servant. It's really... It's true that his son knows that his son can read. But he can only read, and what is written in the book is what he says. When he was a child, his family thought he was too stubborn, so they tricked him into climbing to the roof every day to read and he would get twice the result with half the effort.
The roof is unstable, and the butt hurts after sitting for a long time.
Not to mention that he sneaked down to read against his parents' orders, he should have found himself a plank or a cushion.
In the end, he actually sat on the roof. If it rained, he would use an umbrella for fear of getting wet books, but he only covered the books to get in the rain.
The family was really convinced of him, and they no longer cared about him, and they took care of raising the second and third sons.
After all, there is no shortage of sons, and one can always find a smart one.
The Zhao family's name was Zhao Rong, and he was full of arrogance. After all, he was from a family background, and he still had courage. After he received the verbal order, he immediately took up the task of managing the servants.
The first person to use it for surgery was his own home.
He was so angry that his father cursed at home: "These are all servants of the world. They have been serving our family for generations. Now let them out. Do you think your mother can cook, or your father can sweep the house?"
Zhao Rong was neither angry nor regressing when he was scolded by his father. Instead, he said, "It's hiring, it's not that they are not allowed to stay in our house."
"Just to have a fixed salary and not be able to kill, it's the same as before."
His father scolded again: "There is no difference anywhere!"
He hates himself for teaching his son to be a gentleman!
Why are slaves so loyal to them? If something goes wrong at home, the slave will save his master first if he puts his life on the line.
Why? Is it because they are born servile and strong
No, it's because the lives of their family depend on the master, their wives and children, their relatives and friends, everything is entrusted to the master.
Once they find out that even if there is no master, they can live well, or if the master is not good to them, they can just change another one. For the family, it will not be easy to turn the world upside down.
Of course, noble families don't take slaves too seriously, but they have many places where they can use slaves. Outsiders always don't have their own family to make them feel at ease, but what if their own family also becomes an outsider
"They will hate you and our family!" His father nodded, "Then King Nan is forcing our family to die!"
Zhao Rong said, "Father, as a minister, loyalty is the first class. Although my son is not talented, he also knows that he will have a bright future when he is loyal to the Lord. If I retire today, there will always be someone else who wants to take over my job. If my son succeeds, my Zhao family will have a place in the new dynasty, and if I lose, my father should not panic, my son will use his life to compensate them, and the whole family should not suffer."
"Father has a son, and a son also has a son. The Zhao family does not lack this son. Dad, let the son go." Zhao Rong knelt down in front of Zhao's father.
His two younger brothers also said, "Dad, let the big brother go."
Father Zhao looked at his eldest son and finally said, "You... go."
Zhao Rong went, and he turned the Dadu family upside down by himself.
Every moment someone cursed him to death.
At first, these people gave gifts to the Zhao family, went to relatives with the Zhao family, and even offered to give up their daughter to be a concubine to Zhao Rong, but the Zhao family did not agree.
They have already chosen their lineup and can't change it anymore.
So Zhao Rong didn't dare to drink the drinks outside, didn't dare to eat the food outside, and he mostly shied away when his old friends invited him to dinner.
When Lin Yuan found out, he said to Song Shizhao, "This person is indeed available."
Able to faithfully complete the assigned tasks, without any water, even if they do not know how to adapt, they can be called loyal and virtuous.
He wants to take a new path, he needs people who follow him wholeheartedly, and there can be no two voices in his team.
"Call someone to protect him." Lin Yuan added, "Even if I set a target, no one can move this target."
Song Shizhao lowered his head.
Today the aristocratic families will hate Zhao Rong.
But in the future, they will find that it is because of Zhao Rong that they escaped.
Nan Bodhisattva's methods have changed. He no longer relies on killing to gain power, he has learned new methods.
