333 Debate 2

"The territory of China is too big, looking beyond the four seas, there is any dynasty that can have the vast and rich land of my China!"

"Nope!"

"Because of this, you literati, after gaining privileges, together with the children of the imperial family, treat us Chinese people as fish and meat on the chopping board, and wantonly bully them."

"Why, you Confucian deification to fool the people's imperial power, can enjoy countless privileges, can take people's lives with a single order without paying any price!"

"And you Confucian disciples also took advantage of the trend, sharing power with the royal family, turning yourself into a tool attached to the royal family and controlling the world for them, so as to become a privileged class among them."

"Before the Ming Dynasty, who didn't look at you scholars differently, the so-called everything is inferior only to study, but there are no farmers below to grow food, no merchants to transport special products thousands of miles away, no fishermen to go to sea to fish, no weavers to weave cotton, linen and satin, what do you use to support yourself?"

"Do you want to get a book of poetry? Do you rely on your self-righteous character? ”

In front of Hong Chengchou, Li Tianyang was stunned to vent all kinds of unhappiness with Confucian literati over the years, and said that Hong Chengchou, who was in his sixties and had pale temples, blushed.

"You scholars are really one of you who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven, as long as one person can make achievements in the way of the imperial examination and obtain the status of one or more people, you can make one of your families prosperous."

"Mr. Hong, for the facts I said, you know best in your heart, in your hometown of Quanzhou, because after your old imperial examination high school, your Hong family has added countless fields in your hometown!"

"Your family's land, because of your high school, you no longer have to bear the Ming Dynasty's taxes and all kinds of servitude, but the Ming Dynasty needs income to maintain the kingdom and support the border soldiers, and if you don't have your income, you can't get it back from other places, right?"

"In the end, isn't it just that the taxes and servitudes you have been exempted from are added to the powerless people of the kingdom?"

"The common people are forced to have no way out, after a year of hard work to grow food, except for the annual rent handed over to the landlords, and the taxes handed over to the imperial court, they can stay in the audience, not one out of ten, but not as good as those who no longer farm!"

"In order to be exempt from taxes, the people had to find other ways, either to put their own fields into the Jinshi's homes, or to simply sell their fields and go out to find another way to make a living."

"In the end, in a village or town, eight or nine out of ten of the land is occupied by several big families, and after these big families occupy the land, because of the backers behind them, the scholars and other relationships that appear in the family, but they do not have to pay taxes, which makes the Ming Dynasty more and more difficult."

"This is the biggest problem encountered by all dynasties in the last stage: land annexation."

"But in the end, it was because of the mutual trading and use of your literati and imperial power that caused all this, didn't it?"

Hongmen Bengang School also about the teaching of logic and social contradictions, Tremella actually touched on a lot of what Li Tianyang said at this time, plus the knowledge brought by Li Tianyang from later generations, so what Li Tianyang is saying now, in Hong Chengchou's ears, although it is harsh, there is nothing to say.

"The system of all dynasties has laid a hidden danger for their downfall from the very beginning, because the object they rely on is too single, and finally this single object has become a behemoth in their mouths, and they are extremely greedy, which in turn led to the collapse of the dynasty."

"In Chinese history, there are four major classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, but there is only one gentry class that is really in a dominant position, and in the end, the gentry class will naturally exploit and squeeze the other three classes for the sake of interests and power!"

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

"But I, Hongmen, from the very beginning, will give everyone an equal status, who said that people who do farm work will always be mud legs?"

"Look at the backbone of our Hongmen Ministry of Agriculture, those croppers who spread pollen for seedlings and grafted trees, who earns less money?"

"Look at the farmers in our villages and towns who have their backs to the loess, and they also have the right to vote for the village chief who they think will give them a better life."

"Needless to say, the workers have contributed to our Hongmen manufacturing industry, and our Hongmen industry will not treat them badly, and they also have the power that any other class has!"

"The merchant class, the most active in my Hongmen, is also the class that has helped the most in the development of my Hongmen today, and my Hongmen has given the Ming Dynasty no preferential treatment, allowing their heirs to work in the civil affairs department, and at the same time giving them equal status."

"As for the gentry class, Mr. Hong, do you think that among our Hongmen, those people can be regarded as the real gentry class?"

To tell the truth, even Hong Chengchou himself is particularly admired, Li Tianyang They have been committed to the cultural education of many people, since the economic conditions have improved a few years ago, the demand for talents is not so urgent, Hongmen began to implement nine years of compulsory education, as long as the Hongmen territory is less than 15 years old young people, must spend in the school.

As long as you want to learn to read and write, you can go to the night school opened by the Ministry of Education in Hongmen at night to complete the knowledge of reading, literacy, arithmetic, and other knowledge after paying a relatively low tuition fee.

Anyway, in Hongmen, the more educated and knowledgeable people are, the more lucrative jobs they can find, and many jobs have gradually begun to generate recruitment requirements, which forces the people of Hongmen who want to get a better life to take the initiative to pursue knowledge and enrich themselves.

"All classes, at least at this moment, are equal, and my Hongmen is at least above the law, and there is no privileged class, which fundamentally eliminates the last hidden dangers of the Chinese dynasties at the beginning."

"Of course, there will inevitably be a lot of hardships, and there will be countless reversals, for example, now I can also imagine that when the incumbents have enough power positions, they will eventually find ways to start the pursuit of power by relying on the abundant financial resources in their hands."

"Compared with other classes, the merchant class with enough money to open the way, whether it is dirty methods such as buying people's hearts or bribing officials, or cultivating their children to join the Hongmen government and Hongtang army in a bright and bright way, they may not be worse than the hidden dangers caused by the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty today."
