Today I recommend you, tomorrow you recommend my nephews, and chaos is rampant. The aristocratic families hold the promotion channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created a sharp contradiction with the small and medium landlords and scholars from humble backgrounds who wanted to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao came from a family of eunuchs and was looked down upon by the great gentry. He himself also had a bad relationship with famous scholars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this basis, he proposed \"appointing people based on talent,\" winning over a large number of talents from humble backgrounds and the hearts of small and medium-sized aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Wei thus obtained a large amount of support and had the strength to unify the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this \"appointing people based on talent\" had too many disasters later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appointing people based on talent means that as long as there is talent, it doesn't matter what their morality is like; they are all reused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to extreme chaos in the later period of Cao Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, this matter completely offended the great gentry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The success of the Military Sima Yi family in replacing Cao was due to his own forbearance, but it was also the representative pushed out by the great gentry to replace the Cao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Wang Nuo Zhao) Military Sima Yi came to power, and the interests of the gentry could be guaranteed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So without the Military Sima family, there might have been the Cui family, the Li family, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just changing a chairman; the shareholders and executives below would still drink and dance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guang implemented the imperial examination system to strike at the powerful families, and the Guanlong Group re-elected a chairman, the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao and Yang Guang both took steps that were too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Rank System was a product of Chen Qun and others seeing the disadvantages of \"appointing people based on talent\" and the \"recommendation system,\" taking the advantages of both and finding a middle balance point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roughly speaking, it was: look at family background, check morality, and determine the grade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei met Chen Qun in Xuxian and showed great interest in the Nine-Rank System he proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qun was extremely excited. This would be his life's work, and if it could be implemented, it would inevitably make him famous and wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei let him concentrate on researching the Nine-Rank System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei began to select talents on a large scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ji from Fengyi, Wang Shuang from Longxi, Wen Qin from Qiao Commandery (father of Wen Yang), Gao Tanglong from Taishan Commandery, Du Xi from Yingchuan, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also promoted Xun Yan and Xun Yue of the Xun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei also issued an order to halve the land tax in the three and a half provinces of the Central Plains, exempt the disaster-stricken areas of Xiapi from taxes for three years, and send grain and other items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Central Plains region quickly entered a period of calm. It was just changing the person in charge, and the land tax was halved—how good!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good, a few more acupuncture sessions and you will be much better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei removed the silver needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cangshu, you should rest well; the pain will fade faster that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Chong cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks, Lord Liu Xuande.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was moved in his heart; his father and Liu Bei were mortal enemies, yet Liu Bei was genuinely saving him. Such benevolence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on Cao Jie’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chong, you should rest well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei pulled Cao Jie’s hand over to check her pulse, his expression turning somewhat stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Cao, if you continue to exhaust yourself taking care of Cangshu like this, you will be the next one to fall ill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jie’s face flushed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Liu Xuande, this young lady understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When other physicians checked her pulse, she never thought much of it, but whenever Liu Bei checked her pulse, Cao Jie’s heart would race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Cao, your heart rate is suddenly too fast. Has your condition changed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jie’s neck turned red. Could she say that her heart was racing only because he was holding her hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Chong observed everything, feeling suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be my sister and Lord Liu Xuande...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream chat began to fill up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Bei is shameless! He grabs a young girl's hand and then tells her not to let her heart rate speed up?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Cao Jie has never experienced such tactics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Bei isn't just planning to wipe out Cao Cao’s vanguard; he’s not even sparing the backyard. Too ruthless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the pulse check, Liu Bei took a medical book from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Cao, I have a medical book here that I wrote myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jie was obsessed with medicine, and her eyes lit up. She reached out to snatch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei blocked her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you obediently rest for three days, I will give this medical book to you. Otherwise, don't even think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jie pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then, I will do as you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately blushed; she was actually acting coquettishly toward Lord Liu Xuande.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Chong sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you better prepare yourself. I’m afraid your obedient daughter isn't coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei instructed the servants to take good care of Cao Jie and left the side courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just sat down when...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia and Pang Tong arrived together for a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the affairs of the Central Plains are all in good order...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have all worked hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, Pang Shiyuan and I have thought of a way to win the hearts of the small and medium clans in the Central Plains as quickly as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, in the past, whenever we conquered a territory, to gain support quickly, we would take the daughters of local clans, drink and make merry with everyone, and win over the people. We believe we should do the same now that we have obtained the Central Plains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which family's daughter have you set your sights on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Tong cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, Miss Cao Jie is both talented and virtuous. Taking her would not only win the hearts of the Central Plains clans but also pave the way for the future conquest of Hebei. Please, my Lord, take her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei naturally had thoughts about Cao Jie, a sensible and beautiful young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, he was of the same generation as Cao Cao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fear Cao Cao might not be pleased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, I have received news that Cao Cao intends to marry all three of his daughters to the pseudo-emperor, the Prince of Hejian. That man is fat, weighs two hundred pounds, is a drunkard, and a lecher—hardly a good match! My Lord, you are doing a good deed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Cao is truly shameless, disregarding his daughters' happiness and using them as political tools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, our army can send an envoy to Ye City to bring this up. We can use Cao Chong as a bargaining chip to secure Cao Cao’s agreement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Cao has just been defeated and needs to recuperate; he surely won't want to start a war. Weighing the options, he may not refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I will send Sun Gan as an envoy to Ye City!\" *** ### CHAPTER 659\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-15T20:59:59.217Z","2026-06-15T21:06:21.573Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fd02909a193d75b333f3b945c534a1bfcd1224fff94479bc4df5accb7e487bc6","three-kingdoms-game-i-play-as-big-eared-liu-neti-chapter-376","three-kingdoms-game-i-play-as-big-eared-liu-neti-chapter-374",418,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-game-i-play-as-big-eared-liu-neti-cover.jpg"]
