Chapter 168: Tan Six

After saying that, he clapped his hands again

The two heads of their kind were swallowed alive by a group of hungry wolves, but they were not yet full, and one howled in an annoying way

The guard brought in a majestic bull with two long curved horns, shiny hair, and a strong and powerful bullock, and the guard opened the fence and pushed the ox in, and quickly closed the fence, and the bull began to go crazy inside

Hugh said that a cow is a tiger, and if you go into this fence at this time, you will also go crazy

Dozens of hungry wolves pounced again, and no matter how much the bull struggled, he was also bitten to death in a while, and fell, and was bitten by a pack of wolves until only the bones remained

"Your Majesty, there is a ...... that hurts the heavens and the heavens," the head of the Du family said in a snort

"Guys, haven't you figured it out yet?"

I really didn't understand, and shook my head one by one

"Ladies and gentlemen, when I stayed in the Zheng family in Xingyang, I had a deep conversation with several elders of the Zheng family, as the monarch of a country, I definitely don't want there to be annexation, so that everyone has land to cultivate, food to eat, clothes to wear, and the country can rule for a long time, but what about you? The family is huge and the population is large, such as the Zheng family, there are thousands of descendants in the lineage, if you count the collateral and branches, it may be close to tens of thousands of people, but in fact, it is shared equally, and everyone's life is not as good as imagined."

"Yes, yes," echoed a chorus

"But what about the common people? The more stable the country is, the more populous the country, the country is just such a resource, and I am also trying to find a way to tap out more potential in order to feed more people, but no matter how I dig, I can't catch up with the degree of your annexation, and in the end, there are more and more poor people, and when there is a lack of food and clothing, what will they become? At this he looked at the fence, and a cow had eaten it, about half full, and the hungry wolves were not satisfied, and their eyes shone with a green light, and they looked at the crowd, and let out a soft howl

"Once the smoke rises, the court is a tiger, and you don't even have that bull to say, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, how many dynasties have been changed, and our major families are still standing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hebei Yuan clan, far stronger than you, where is it now? You are very lucky, the Jin Dynasty went east, and it depended on the support of the local scholars, the sinicization of Xianbei, and the support of the Han people, so most of you started to ascend to the throne at that time, but today, everyone, you see your existence, it is Sui Yang is family, and my Tang clan is a family, and I have given you a soft policy, if it weren't for you, Sui Yang and I, Li Tang Clan, who came to power? Won't it be like that pile of bones?"

They were silent

Whether it is Sui Yang or Li Tang, they are on the throne, and there are many big families to support the credit This is the relationship between the fish and the water, and the water and the fish, but the emperor's words are not unreasonable, if they didn't come to power? In other words, if the rebel army who made a fortune from the real peasants got the world, can they still give them such a preferential policy?

"That's it, how many families have been annihilated in the dust of history?"

Again they were speechless

"You have worked hard for the sake of your descendants, have you ever thought about this day? This is the most obvious truth, if the people are forced to make a living, they rise up, they are not just a group of hungry wolves, I don't know how many families here can exist at that time? A few days ago, I sent an edict to deliberately fold the sparse writing of Wanqing, the civil secretary of Chuzhou, and issued it to the world, but I quietly sent people to go to various places to secretly inspect it, which made me very disappointed."

"Just water conservancy, how many mistakes have you made to occupy the mountains and rivers, and in the year of drought, you don't think you will be guilty of one thing."

"Those who have streams, ditches, and springs for the people would rather have water flowing down the river than for the poor people to give water to the crops."

"All the places in Pi Ze are the place where the water is stopped, the heroic ploughing of the high Fu, the invasion of the Pi Ze to seek the field, every year when the heavy rain is in the line, the Pi Ze is filled, there is no room for storage, so it becomes a flood, becomes a people's disaster, and its three sins are also"

"The noble family, in the key place of the river port, surrounded and plugged, as a result, the water flow is suppressed, endangering the neighboring polder, beggar-thy-neighbor, and its four crimes are also"

"All the lakes, ponds, and pize are all surrounded by the powerful, so that the people of Tian suddenly lost lotus roots, water chestnuts, turtles, turtles, shrimps, clams, snails, mussels, and can't make a living, and cut off the livelihood of the little people, and their five crimes are also."

"I have worked hard to plan and plan for a thousand years, but many large households have rushed to surround in advance, regardless of the comfortable storage of waterways, and when the rainy day arrives in the future, I will drift away from thousands of families, intending to murder my people, and its six sins are also."

"There are even a few people who take advantage of the profits, ** people dive into the river embankment, create floods, and sell them for profit."

"When using water, work hard, but the water conservancy has not been prosperous, there are some large households, when the Gu people are building, they extort their food strength, and make things difficult for the imperial court, in order to seek compromise for the imperial court, and seek great benefits The eighth crime is only one water conservancy, and you have made eight mistakes that make the imperial court unbearable, which one can bear"

"If you don't believe me, Zhang Neishi, bring those mansion newspapers to me."

"Whoa"

After a while, it turned out that Zhang Nei, the eunuch of Chang'an East Palace, and the two little eunuchs brought over a thick stack of newspapers

"Do you want me to read it?"

No one dared to answer this reading, and no matter which family was implicated, their reputation would be ruined in the future

"Or do you think, you are the elite of society, I can't deal with you, but I can't deal with you as a whole, maybe I can't deal with a dozen or so people who behave badly?"

A representative of the Li family in Longxi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it's not exactly our families, many merchants and landlords are far worse than our families."

"Yes, without you taking the lead, would they have the guts?"

It is an extreme statement, without these families, the various landlords and magnates are annexed, which is also very bad, but this situation has not happened, and no one knows that relatively speaking, their appeal is great, and the people of the Li family are speechless

"I'm very angry, you guys retreat" Li Wei waved his hand and told them to retreat

……

watched a live performance of the wolf-swallowing drama and complained, what does the emperor mean by this?

I can't figure it out

A few people who were good friends with the Zheng family came to Uncle Zheng Lian and asked, "You entered the palace a few days ago, what did Your Majesty say to you?" ”

You have to understand what the emperor means, he doesn't dare to make a move on all the gates, but as the emperor said, if he just catches more than a dozen of these bad families, the court may not have the courage to do so

Uncle Zheng Lian was impressed in his heart, and thought that he had really guessed it by the emperor, and these people wanted to ask

He said hesitantly: "Don't think too badly about the emperor, the emperor has always wanted a win-win situation in his heart, he has talked to me, one is people, all need tenant tribes, which can benefit us The second is the land, there is no land, there is no wealth, and there are not many people who can't feed the people, and the third is money, these emperors have a way to solve it for us, but it is not the current practice, only to liberate the tenant farmers and tribes of the Central Plains, these are the roots of China, and the main body, let them have a way to live, and social contradictions will not intensify, In addition, the north has never been peaceful, and His Majesty wants to set up six towns, which is to build schools, improve some taxes, and even conduct two-level imperial examinations, His Majesty has thought of a way out for us, and the method of exchange, just like exchanging land with the tribes in the Western Regions, will bring us the harm brought by these leathers, reduce or exchange them back, but I am afraid that our hearts are too big and cannot be satisfied, and some of our manifestations will make him more suspicious of this kind."

"Then how did Your Majesty exchange it back?"

"I don't know much about this."

Soon Uncle Zheng Lian's words reached everyone's ears

In fact, there are some tribes in the middle, which are not Han people, such as many Xianbei nobles who have been Sinicized, some big clans with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and some people from Xiqiang who can become famous families of the Tang Dynasty, have been fully Sinicized, and do not regard themselves as a Chinese, and even if the party members succeed in Sinicization, soon, there will be three or four surnames

They were not disgusted by Li Wei's distinction between China and foreign countries, on the contrary, they felt honored to be invited to participate in a conference that could almost determine the future fate of the Tang Dynasty

But no matter which one you have, you're thinking about one thing, interests

Uncle Zheng Lian said it very lightly, and he can understand that his daughter is an important concubine in the harem, and his nephew will be a strong contender for the heir of the future empire

But isn't it so light?

Some have seen it very early, such as the promotion of education, Guanzhong and Henan are promoting, once this is extended to the whole country, all poor children can enjoy knowledge and education, with knowledge there is power, it will be the weakening of the ownership of the noble and wealthy Of course, as an empire, it has relieved the social pressure As for whether it can fool the people, there are really not many people who have this vision to think about it, that is, they have thought about it, and they can also use education to fool the people In Li Wei's memory, he was very impressed

Even intellectuals can be foolish enough to defend their oppressors

The country also needs stability, and the knowledge of rebellion and justification can not be carried forward universally, that is digging a self-grave, which is not beneficial to everyone, so Di Renjie said that Confucianism is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be moved, and it is still the peak of feudal society, and it has not developed to the time when capitalism comes

This article involves a dispute of interests

The two-level imperial examination has little impact on the famous families in Shandong and Jiangnan, but it can weaken the privileges of the powerful and powerful in the door, and most of the students recruited in the Guozijian are from this group, and once it is extended to the national imperial examination, the advantages of the Guozijian are gradually lost

It's good for the empire, everyone has hope, and they all have the opportunity to be a high-ranking official, so they can no longer complain about the court, they can only say that they don't work hard, these elites will really bow down at the feet of the empire, without these elites to join, even if there is chaos, it will not be strong, such as the Wagang Righteous Army, if there is no Li Mi to join, Wagangzhai will develop to such a big momentum?

That's where the elite comes in

There are also disputes of interest

The liberation of the tenant tribe refers to the Central Plains people, but there are no Central Plains people as tenant farmers and tribes, and all the tribes of Waiyi and Waihu are used, so you can't rest assured? And the empire seems to have this power, the finances are eased, it can be settled, and gradually more land is also moved, so that they have land to cultivate, but what about their own group?

For example, in the six towns, such a bitter and cold place, it is impossible to transfer tenant farmers to the past, even the tenant farmers will not be reluctant, so they can only transfer a large number of troops living in the lower social strata from various states and counties, these people have personal freedom, land, and some subsidies, and the six towns are still willing to go over if they are a little harder

This is going to be forcibly pulled out of his own group, and it is still going to be carried out immediately

As for the tax revolution, the imperial tax defects, who does not know? A rent modulation is based on Ding as the main body of taxation, which is very beneficial to these large households, and there is also a tax exemption system, which is beneficial

If you want to reform, you have to start from these two points

There are too many interests involved
