Chapter 975: My Ambitions Are High

"Actually, even if you don't take the initiative to come, Ben will invite you to come here sooner or later......"

Wang Yu's gaze swept over the crowd standing on either side of the seat, and there was no smell of too harshness in his voice.

Most of these people he met for the first time, but almost among the two of them, there will be a name that he was familiar with a long time ago, Xun Yu, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, etc.

Whether they represent a prince or just their own family, the significance of the arrival of these people is almost the same, and if they can make all of them satisfied, the newly incorporated territory will be settled.

This is the era when the world is about to reach its peak, and there is still a little distance from the Wei and Jin dynasties, when there is no cold door in the upper grade and no family in the lower grade, but there is no doubt about the unprecedented expansion of the power of the world.

If you just covet the benefits of rapid stability, you will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of the Wei and Jin dynasties; However, if we take a stern attitude and suppress it by force, the current good situation is likely to be ruined.

Fortunately, after such a long time of exploration and discussion, I already have a relatively complete solution.

After a little greeting, Wang Yu quickly got to the point.

"Before we formally discuss the situation on the ground, I would like to ask you a question...... Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 400 years ago, the Han Dynasty has conquered the south and the north, how majestic, even if Ding Ling and Daqin are far away, they also know the prestige of our Han Dynasty, why has it weakened so much in recent years? ”

Everyone at the bottom of the stairs lowered their heads and closed their mouths tightly.

In fact, there is no need to answer this question, and there has long been a conclusion in Shilin: the relatives are arrogant, the eunuchs are autocratic, the son of heaven is dim, and the righteous man and gentleman are not allowed to be in the court, so the political situation is chaotic, resulting in the people of the world being unable to follow, and finally being taken advantage of by the demon thieves.

However, there is a big difference in cognition between the champion Hou and the Shi clan. There is a popular saying in Shilin that the champion Hou thinks that the country is about to die, although it has little to do with the Son of Heaven, and it has little to do with relatives, eunuchs and those demons of Taiping Dao.

No matter how accurate this rumor is, it is not a good way to speak against the wind, listen to it in a muffled voice, at least find out what the other party wants to do first.

"Since the general raised troops in Hanoi, the strategy implemented in the territory has always been changing, for no other reason, because the general has also been thinking about it......" Wang Yu was not surprised by the silence of the crowd, but what he said next also meant to open his eyes and say nonsense.

That's right, his attitude towards the wealthy family has been changing, but it is not that his thinking is not mature enough, but the situation.

When he first started the army, he was ruthless to the Shi clan, not because he was jealous and hateful, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, but Lao Wang Kuang had already offended the wealthy family in Hanoi to death, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo, a public enemy, the alliance of princes at that time would be able to turn the spearhead and destroy the two of them first.

It is not an exaggeration at all, Hanoi is the place where Han Guangwu Liu Xiu started, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, it is the strongest in Hanoi in terms of wealthy heritage.

In history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were very strong and had favorable geographical advantages, but no one attacked Hanoi? Why? It's because there are too many wealthy families in this place, and there are many constraints on everything. Just put Zhang Yang, who is not a threat, here as a strategic buffer zone.

For Wang Yu at that time, this was an unwarranted disaster, which brought a lot of trouble to him in recruiting talents in the early stage. However, in terms of the situation at that time, Wang Yu could only push the boat down the river and carry out the anti-family to the end, otherwise what should he do? Do you want to kneel and beg for forgiveness?

When he returned to Taishan's hometown and prepared to enter Qingzhou, considering the special nature of Qingzhou, it was necessary for him to carry out this strategy to the end in order to win people's hearts, so he could only continue.

waited until Yuan Shao was defeated before he could start turning, but this involved the appeasement of Zhang Yan. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of twists and turns.

Now, Wang Yu can finally move out his whole set of ideas without constraints.

"The existence of the family should be said to have a certain inevitability, although it has a certain impact on the weakening of the country, but if all the sins are pushed over, it is not appropriate to mention it." He said slowly, reassuring everyone present.

Although everyone is also prepared in case the peace talks fail, they will take advantage of the general trend to fight openly, but the fierce achievements of the hussars are really terrifying, and there is no way to go, and no one wants to die in the net.

People like Xun Yu and Kuai Yue are shrewd, and they think about Wang Yu's unfinished intentions, not the Son of Heaven is mediocre, nor does he mention his relatives and eunuchs, and now even the family has been exonerated from responsibility, so who is the culprit? It can't be said that this hussar general is just entertaining everyone, right?

Fortunately, this time Wang Yu's words did not continue to be erratic, and directly continued to speak.

"I would have thought that the biggest reason why the country was declining and could not inherit the ambitions of our ancestors was that the gap between the scholars and the people was too large, so that there was no middle class, which led to the instability of the national body, and the slightest disturbance could turn into a catastrophe!"

"Middle class?"

"The country is unstable?"

"What the hell is this ......"

Because of Wang Yu's method of raising first and then suppressing, everyone couldn't suppress their emotions for a while, or they asked in surprise, or looked at each other with the participants who had a good relationship.

Although Wang Yu used a few new terms, it is definitely impossible to say that he does not understand it completely, after all, they are all important figures in various families, and they are also outstanding in their knowledge and knowledge. The reason why they lost their temper like this was because Wang Yu's words could easily cause bad associations.

Wang Yu was neither angry nor explained, his eyes were lowered, and he did not say a word. It wasn't until everyone vaguely felt that something was wrong and quieted down again that they raised their eyes, flicked their fingers, and ordered, "Send the things down." ”

"Yes." Two of the staff members standing behind him walked out, bowed down to answer the order, each holding a stack of papers, and handed out the bound books to everyone one by one.

"The draft decree of the Kaiyuan War? Kaiyuan Ordinary Civil Code Draft? ”

"Yes, this is the bill that Ben will make for the future Han Empire based on the principles that Shicai said." Wang Yu waved his hand, signaling that everyone could look at it at will: "You are all well-informed people, especially Mr. Wen Ruo, even with General Cao's vision, he often compares his name to Xiao He, who happens to be the general of the staff officer, please be sure to speak freely, do not have any worries." ”

"......" Including Xun Yu, everyone didn't know how to answer, thinking that Wang Yu said so anyway, everyone might as well take a look at these two new laws first.

If you are not mistaken, these two new laws should be the national policy of the new dynasty in the future, and the purpose of everyone coming here is closely related to this.

Although it is a draft, it is also full of articles, and there are a total of three chapters, nine sections, and seventy-two articles. There are many entries and new terms, and everyone doesn't have time to browse them all for a while, just look for the content they care about the most.

"In order to cultivate the middle class, this bill will be established on the principle of 'participants benefit'......"

"In the future, the national policy will be based on external development, and in order to unite all forces, the empire will adopt a relaxed military, political, and economic policy ......."

"The empire recognizes the sanctity ...... personal property"

Because of the new term, even with Xun Yu's talent, he stumbled when he saw it, but looking at it, his frowning brows still loosened, at least Wang Yu did not mean to forcibly suppress the wealthy family.

Although the laws and regulations are separated, the spirit of the words is the same.

According to Xun Yu's understanding, the so-called middle class is the class between the world and the common people. This class is characterized by wealth and dissatisfaction, but without worrying about food and clothing. As described in the decree, this class would have a very positive effect on social stability.

Although this point of view is novel to Xun Yu, it is not difficult to understand. In fact, this is the same as what Guan Zhong said back then: knowing etiquette when you are full of cangs, and knowing honor and disgrace when you are full of food and clothing.

However, it is not so easy to achieve this goal, the biggest contradiction is that wealth is limited, and the ** of people grabbing wealth is unlimited. Regardless of the founding of the country, it will inevitably enter a state of saturation in the end, and evolve into a state where the rich are full of corn on the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the poor have no food and clothing.

However, Wang Yu put forward a new concept in the edict, arguing that if you blindly look inward, you will end up in the previous cycle, and the solution is to turn your eyes beyond the territory.

The specific method was to set up vassal states outside the Central Plains, and the vassal states would launch conventional offensives outside the country. In case of a major war, it will be dispatched by the Central Plains, and the general situation is to form a multi-way princely alliance, and special conditions can also be fought by hussars.

This will be a war that spans an extremely large span of time and space.

There is a rough map of Middle-earth and its surroundings. In addition, on the next page, there is a brief indication of the resources that can be produced in each target area, the most conspicuous of which is the dense gold mines on the three islands of the East and several large islands in the South Sea.

Before seeing these two decrees, Xun Yu had no concept of these two regions, but he heard that Wang Yu sent a fleet to the east and brought back a large amount of gold and silver.

Gold and silver are only the most conspicuous, and there are many other resources.

For example, the seemingly barren western Gobi actually produces refined iron, which is different from the iron ore in the Central Plains, and the refined iron in the Western Regions does not need to be calcined by fire, and can be forged by cold forging to produce fine iron. In addition to miasma, many fields can also be cultivated in the South Seas, and because of the climate, crops there can even be planted three or four times a year!

Of course, the consumption of war is very large, and weapons, equipment, food and grass are lacking in the vassal states. Wang Yu's solution was that the battle would be fought by the princes, and the materials would be transported by the Central Plains.

As long as you participate in the development of foreign countries, whether it is to transport materials to the vassal states, or to form armed caravans and fleets, and invade foreign countries, you can receive merit points according to the results, and the merit points are used to receive knighthoods, and knighthoods affect whether you can hold important official positions.

The titles are still set according to the twentieth rank of Qin and Han, and it is only here that there is a distinction between the clan and the commoners for the first time.

The clan will start directly with the fifth-level doctor, while the commoners will start with the first-level prince. It seems like a high start, but it's not, because the higher the title, the higher the merit required. The first five levels, as long as you work hard to participate, you will definitely be able to complete them, and after reaching the fifth level, the empire will also issue rewards.

Rewards include: low-interest loans from the Empire, educational resources, information resources, and much more.

According to such a system, in terms of the ease of becoming a priest, the clan and the commoners were almost pulled to the same starting line.

Of course, the resources of the world itself are huge, and after all, they are still in an innate advantageous position in the competition, but the people chasing behind will become more and stronger, so that they can't only focus on the opponents of the same level, and they must be careful of the chasers behind.

There are many provisions related to this decree, such as the conditions for the emergence of the clan will change greatly, and the monopoly of the clan will be completely broken. In addition, there are criteria for identifying the family line.

The decree stipulates conditions such as the number of people living in clusters, the total amount of family wealth, and the total number of family merit points, and divides the families into three categories: families, scholars, and families. Different levels of families will enjoy fewer preferential treatments and more restrictions in accordance with the previous principles.

In a nutshell, those who have strong ability and wealth should contribute more, and those with less ability and wealth should do the opposite.

"What is more than is lost and what is not enough? Is this turning back and governing the country in the way of Huang Lao? ”

The whispering voice from beside him coincided with Xun Yu, he turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Kuai Yue who spoke. The two greeted each other with their eyes, and everything was silent.

This result is not the best, but it is not the worst, the rule of Wenjing at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty used Taoist doctrine, and it was not a clear road.

Xun Yu's focus is actually on the division of the princes, which is also what Cao Cao is most concerned about.

There seems to be no mention of restrictions on vassal states in the relevant provisions, only clauses such as the cease of war orders of the princes. Xun Yu was still wondering at first whether there were any additional special terms that had not been taken out. But he flipped through the two books several times, but never found the corresponding foreshadowing.

If it is an ordinary decree, Xun Yu will not think much about it, the problem is that the two decrees that Wang Yu took out are quite well-made, even if there are not enough thoughtful points, it is all in the details, this kind of military affairs, there is absolutely no reason to ignore it, unless Wang Yu does not plan to make his name for what he promises.

The whispering voices that came from the body also showed that more and more people were discovering this, but no one dared to ask Wang Yu in person. After all, only Xun Yu, Cai and Kuai have heavy troops in their hands and the hopes of the princes, and since others don't have this hope, they can't care too much.

"Dare to ask General Wang, if you want to become a prince, what standard should you meet? If you become a prince, what kind of responsibility should you bear for the Central Plains? The three of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Kuai Yue asked.

"It's very simple, in addition to the existing five, as long as you have a certain strength and this desire, you can discuss relevant matters specifically." Wang Yu waved his hand and replied quite happily: "Speaking of specific matters, in fact, it is to choose a direction or area, as long as you can defeat the established purpose, you can become a prince." ”

"It's that simple?" Kuai Yue was stunned.

"How complicated could it be? Isn't it stated at the beginning of the decree that the participants benefit? Wang Yu asked leisurely: "Of course, all princes must respect the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and the territory they have conquered, no matter what the name is, must also obey the Han system, and the so-called Han system is ......."

Wang Yu's tone suddenly raised: "Unified writing, unified language, unified weights and measures, unified history and culture!" As long as you can abide by such a criterion and complete the set goals, you will be a hero who has opened up the territory and expanded the territory of our Han Empire. ”

Including Xun Yu, everyone was first startled, and then showed a thoughtful expression. Seeing everyone's demeanor in his eyes, Wang Yu said with a smile: "You may be thinking, the princes are fighting outside, and the Central Plains is enjoying peace, if a prince is not subservient, the Central Plains is afraid that it will change hands." ”

Actually, that's right. In this regard, Ben Jiang does not have a complete strategy to ensure the perpetuity of the country, it can only be said that there is Ben will be fully sure to face various challenges one day, if Ben will do the ancient ...... Hehe, don't mention anything else, even if there is really something about Tai'a's rebellion, the meat is rotten in the pot, this Central Plains is still our Han family's descendants, what is there to worry about? ”

There was silence.

In the huge hall, even the sound of breathing became distinct.

Everyone was frightened by Wang Yu's argument.

The staff of Qingzhou are okay, they have heard all kinds of whimsical ideas and strange theories from their own lords, and people who can even say such things as swearing not to be emperors, what else dare not say or can't say?

The representatives of the various families were really confused.

Accustomed to scheming and speculating on others with a relatively dark psychology, they really can't adapt to this kind of outright and selfless argument for a while.

That's the Ninety-Five, a thousand miles of rivers and mountains that can be left to future generations! Just such a sentence that the meat is rotten in the pot, can it be explained?

This, this is simply ......

Looking at Xun Yu and Kuai Yue's faces that had become a little distorted due to excessive shock, Zhuge Liang suddenly wanted to laugh.

If you have a chance, you don't have to be the emperor, it looks stupid, doesn't it? I have asked this question myself, and the answer of the lord is the so-called: the bottleneck of the dynasty. That's right, he said that the dynasty had many limitations, which would affect his ambition to expand the territory, and it was impossible to entrench the country, at most, it would be four hundred years old, maybe it would not reach four hundred years, and it might end in three hundred years.

Among these reasons, Zhuge Liang only agrees with the first point.

But all dynasties will take ensuring safety as the first premise, so expeditions are not allowed, even if it is the relationship between Emperor Wu and Wei Qing and Huo Quai, after the latter has made great contributions, he should be beaten like a beat, and he should be ruthless when he should seize military power.

As for whether the limit of the imperial dynasty's lifespan was three hundred years or four hundred years, Zhuge Liang really didn't know how to evaluate it, except for the short-lived Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was the first centralized empire. Although it has now existed in name only, and the fortunes of the country have ended in 400 years, who knows what will happen in the future?

However, the look on the face of the lord when he said this was quite confident. Judging from the language he has made in the past, maybe there is really some reason?

Zhuge Liang has been worried about this for a long time, but he still can't find anyone to discuss, Mr. Wenhe's lazy man is not willing to bother with this thought at all, and the teacher is not here.

Now, finally someone is with him to worry about it, can Zhuge Liangyan not laugh?

Wang Yu didn't say anything on the surface, but he was full of emotion in his heart: Great unification, a word that sounds very beautiful, is actually a shackle that kills the power of Huaxia's expansion, but some people are eager to it.

The evidence is overwhelming.

In addition to the Han Dynasty, among the subsequent dynasties, there was also a dynasty with a lifespan of more than 300 years?

No.

Aside from the Han Dynasty, what other dynasty has implemented a policy of expansion for more than one emperor?

Of course not.

If there were, the Tang Dynasty would not abandon the Western Regions Corridor.

If there is, Zheng He's fleet will be able to occupy the Indian Ocean at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and with the size of the treasure fleet, the name of the Invincible Armada will be replaced.

In the end, it is not the limitations of Confucianism or the character of the Chinese nation, but the problem lies in the unified dynasty itself!

Because it is an imperial dynasty, everything is the emperor's. Those who are officials don't need to love the people, they don't need to be honest, because they are honest and lose themselves, and the emperor is rich all over the world, will he lose this benefit? The emperor has hundreds of millions of people, so what's the difference between thousands and hundreds of people who are less caring?

As for expanding the territory......

Unless there is ambition to challenge the throne, who is going to suffer that thankless sin? Didn't you see how Yue Fei died? Self-respect for thieves is king.

Since he has been a human being in two lives, with these insights, Wang Yu will certainly not repeat the mistakes of the past.

It is simple to travel through the Three Kingdoms to become an emperor, but it is really powerful to change the course of history through the late Han Dynasty and build an empire that truly dominates the four seas.

Maybe you haven't thought about it enough, and if you miss something, at least you can't be wrong about one thing, in your lifetime, the empire will continue to expand outward, and expand again. Even if he is gone, and he falls into the strife of the Spring and Autumn Period again, the territory of China will be much larger than before......

For this reason, Wang Yu is willing to bet on this shop!

"If you don't have any opinions, you might as well turn around and return to your life, ruling the world is like cooking a small fresh, always be well prepared, and fine work is."

The discussion meeting became a one-man show, Wang Yu was a little excited, waved his hand, signaled the meeting to end, got up and walked two steps, and suddenly turned to Xun Yu and said: "Mr. Wenruo, please bring a message to General Cao and tell him that if he wants to be the prime minister, he might as well come to see me early." ”

"Hmm...... Obey under orders. Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, then bowed down to answer, and when he looked up again, he found that Wang Yu had already gone far. (To be continued.) )
