In the chat group, the emperors frowned and pondered at this moment. Many emperors had actually guessed the answer, such as the human emperor Xin, Liu Bang, Cao Cao and others.

But they did not speak, but to see if the emperor behind them could figure out this question.

After a while, Zhu Di slapped his thigh and felt that he had finally found a direction.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

"The way the emerging literati class is used to solidify the class is to form a clique!"

…………

Li Shimin frowned, and he felt that this statement was inaccurate.

Li Er (the wise ruler of sin):

"What I want to say should be to solidify the class based on the relationship between teachers and students."

"Forming a clique is just a superficial phenomenon. Before forming a clique, you have to become an official first."

"How can you become an official?"

"How can we control the ways to select talents?"

"That is to monopolize the entire official selection system with the relationship between teachers and students."

……………………

Zhu Di is angry at this moment. Are you, Li Er, the one who is specifically against me?

What I said is almost the same as what you said.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

"Chen Tong, what do you think?"

……………………

Chen Tong nodded slightly.

Chen Tong:

“You can think of it as a hierarchical solidification in the form of a party.

It can also be said that the relationship between teachers and students is used to monopolize the selection of officials, thereby solidifying the grassroots level.

This is indeed a means used by the emerging scholar-official class to solidify the class.

But this is all superficial.”

……………………

Isn't this just a superficial phenomenon?

Li Shimin and Zhu Di were completely stunned. Wouldn't that mean they only saw the fur?

Li Er (the wise ruler of sin):

“Is this just fur?”

"What kind of way should the literati class solidify the class?"

“Is it monopolistic knowledge?”

……………………

In the chat group, many emperors frowned.

Especially Cao Cao, Liu Bang, Emperor Wu of Han and others, the initial guess was actually the same as Li Shimin and Zhu Di.

It's just more comprehensive than them.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tong said that this was just the surface.

They want to see what the kernel is?

Did they miss something?

Being upstream of time, this information is still a big loss.

He has the ability but cannot obtain information and cannot analyze anything at all.

...

And Zhu Wen couldn't help but curse at this moment.

Bad person:

"This is pretending to be a ghost."

"These are nothing more than the methods used by the scholar-official class to solidify the class."

"I don't believe you can tell other ways?"

…………

Chen Tong laughed loudly.

Chen Tong:

"Why do I say you only see the surface of things?

It is because you can’t see what the scholar-official class does this for!

What monopolize knowledge and what control the selection of talents based on the relationship between teachers and students.

What are the ways to make cliques and private interests to completely control the situation in the court?

These are all superficial phenomena.

And what is the real kernel?

That is the final right to interpret knowledge!

In fact, it is what we call academic valuation.

You may not imagine that in ancient times, knowledge was not important at all.

What is important is how to make the knowledge you explain the only correct answer.

You should know that the books written in Confucius' era do not have punctuation marks. How can you be sure that your pronunciation is the most correct?

You have to know that if punctuation is in different places, the meaning will be completely opposite.

There are no 10,000 or 8,000 different interpretations of the Analects from ancient times to the present, and they are completely different.

Every great scholar who thinks he is capable has explained the Analects of Confucius and makes you doubt your life.

This is the core method used by the scholar-official class to solidify the class.

Without the final right to explain, how can you monopolize knowledge?

How can you establish a strong and unsubversive teacher-student relationship?

Only when you have the final right to interpret knowledge can you truly control the channels for selecting talents, because what you say is the only standard answer to the exam.

Those students who do not want to join you and who do not want to learn from you will not be able to get a high ranking.

Therefore, the real method used to engage in grassroots monopoly is not the teacher-student relationship you mentioned, but the final right to interpret knowledge.

This is also why there are one academic lord after another in the academic circle, and they reject different theories.

Because if they lose the final right to interpret knowledge, they lose their monopoly position.

They can't solidify the class.

This cannot be used to make profits.

Even if their students are spread all over the world, so what?

In ancient times, you could not become a scholar in this academic circle. Your knowledge could not bring benefits, and it was like a pile of waste paper!

And your students will definitely go to other academic corpses and become disciples.

Therefore, many academic sects with bad character will turn academic disputes into disputes of interests, or even into disputes of life and death!

Whoever dares to oppose their doctrines must be ruined by the other party's reputation, or even the family will be destroyed."

……………………

Zhu Di couldn't help but take a breath. Only then did he understand why the battle between the literati and official class was so bloody and cruel.

Why do literati kill people without blood?

It is even more ruthless in the battle against the general.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

"I only now understand why there is a saying that says: Literature is inferior to each other!"

"It turns out that the underlying logic behind it is to compete for the final right to interpret knowledge."

"Chen Tong is right. Sometimes the right or wrong of knowledge is really not important. What is important is to compete for whose knowledge can become the only correct answer."

"And the right to interpret knowledge can be directly exchanged for benefits!"
