Chapter 19 Yizhou

Sheng Langjun had a guess about his disciple's master: it was very likely that he was the descendant of a certain samurai during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As a child of a family, he still knows more about how the lowest taxis of the ruling class came from.

In the early days, Shiduo was the retainer of various princes and nobles, and was always attached to the nobles.

As for the nobles, they are kings, princes, ministers, and doctors.

By the time of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the scholars had become a class.

It is a product of the Zhou patriarchy.

At the bottom of the aristocracy, higher than the common people.

In the late Spring and Autumn period, Shi became the collective term for intellectuals in the ruling class.

By the time of the Warring States period, there was more samurai as a source of scholars.

In fact, in addition to the specialized samurai, there are also monks who calculate the lunisolar calendar.

In Sheng Langjun's opinion, his apprentice is good luck, and he will meet such a capable person.

If you learn a real skill, if you use it well, it will make many people stained, of course, he is one of the people who is stained.

And the patriarch did not give up, after encountering the clan girl twice, Sheng Langjun understood the patriarch's plan, and this dead old man still did not give up.

It seems that he is ambitious and plans to engage in military power, although Sheng Langjun will not agree with it in his heart, but he still feels that the old man has a sharp mind.

There is no idea that the children of ordinary families are tired of literature and martial arts, and it points to the core question of wanting to survive in troubled times: Is there military power? And without military power, nothing is useful.

The emperor was the emperor back then, and he should be supreme, but unfortunately there is no military power, so there is no supreme power, and he has always been a puppet in the hands of the powerful minister Cao Cao. It is said that he used the edict of the cloth and begged his courtiers to free him.

The person who brought out the distress letter didn't know why his family slave told Cao Cao, which directly led to the so-called clothes and ribbon edict being taken away after being searched out (of course, history also said that it was the clothes and ribbon edict planned by Dong Cheng).

Although Cao Cao's power increased greatly at that time, there were still many big forces that grabbed territory with him, and he also needed a puppet emperor who could coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to have a righteous reputation.

This traitorous male did not move the emperor, anyway, he was only seventeen years old and had no ability to resist, but the courtiers who had abnormal movements, including the queen mother and son of a country, were all finished.

It can be seen from this that there is nothing without military power. Even if the Son of Heaven is not able to escort him, he will only be alive all the time.

Since he was nine years old, he began to be a puppet emperor, and finally waited until he ceded the imperial throne to the Cao family, and he could be regarded as having a stable life.

In fact, the emperor had no chance to prove whether he was a faint monarch or a bright monarch, but fortunately, it was a good death in the end.

This shows how important it is to have military power. He will not use his own disciples for the benefit of others.

Even the members of the family he was born in can't do it, and if one is not good, the boat will capsize.

As a father, he did not protect his daughter, and he will be annoyed for the rest of his life.

This disciple like a son, he must protect it.

If you choose one or the other, the disciple or the family.

He chose his own disciples.

The interests of the family get out of the way.

Even if it is his own disciple who wants to take charge of the military.

That's for your own plans, not for your family.

Fart! He doesn't do such stupid things, and the prosperity of the family has nothing to do with him.

Sheng Langjun's mind thought quickly, and he thought of a lot of things, and he looked at his disciple.

"Zi'an, you are not too young, you should know a lot of things, so why do you feel that Nandu is not good?"

"The reason why today's southern long live can ascend to the great treasure is because of the great help of those big families, no one will think of working in vain, everyone wants strange goods to live in, and become Lu Buwei." The original owner said.

After all these years of experience, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, seen a lot of joys, sorrows and sorrows in the world, and far surpassed his peers in experience.

There are also modern consciousness bodies on the side to give guidance, which has broadened his horizons a lot.

After listening to the words of the original owner, Sheng Langjun nodded, agreeing with these words very much.

"Yes! It is best to have a book of great profits, which will always be beneficial to the family. ”

Sheng Langjun didn't sit upright at the moment, half leaning on the desk.

Say it in a meaningful voice.

At the beginning, LΓΌ Buwei changed from a businessman.

became the prime minister of the Qin State and the power of the world.

It can be said that one person is below ten thousand people.

Sheng Langjun is not a politician.

You can also feel the coolness of one step to the sky.

Many families want to make the same investment as LΓΌ Buwei.

In their opinion, if you invest it properly, it will be profitable.

This is how the royal family of the Jin Dynasty was supported by the big family and ascended to the throne.

There is a good saying: If you eat other people's soft mouths and take other people's soft hands, the imperial power will not be strong

The family that thinks that they have the merit of the dragon naturally wants to get benefits, so the court is their personnel.

And the officials who come out of the big family often have some in-law relationships, and there are personal contacts between people, which can be said to be the protection of officials and officials.

Even officials from large families may dig into the wall in order to increase the interests of their own families, and things often cost a lot of money, but achieve very little results.

"Hmmm! Master once told me that this is like having birds, fish, and livestock pull a cart together, and maybe they all pull it very hard, but the cart doesn't go in one direction, it just spins in the same place. ”

After Sheng Langjun listened, he thought for a while, and went through the scene described by his disciple in his mind: fish naturally burrow into the water, birds fly into the sky, and livestock run on the ground. And the car they are pulling is flickering left and right, up and down, this scene is really gratifying.

Although this scene seems absurd, it is impossible to exist in reality. But in reality, this is indeed the case in the southern court, after every decree, it is the result of the contest between all parties, and every family wants to benefit from it.

In such a situation, the decree may only serve the interests of a very small number of people, but may damage the interests of the majority of the people, or be detrimental to future development.

Sheng Langjun smiled after thinking clearly, although some of his own disciples are not very good, and the aspect of the text is still a little weak, but the overall situation is still good.

"In this case, the political situation in the south will not be stable, how can Banzai be willing to lose power? There must be a fight with the minister. "The original main road.

"According to the etiquette handed down from the Zhou Dynasty, long live is the supreme existence, and naturally there will be families who want to grab more power."

"Then the emperor also has the capital to negotiate and negotiate with those families, and the court is definitely changing."

In the previous self-study, whether it was Ling Xiao or the original owner, he did not have much interest in the so-called Confucianism.

Ling Xiao cares more about reading history, and when he reads history, he makes a review to see what is boring.

Let the original owner know a lot of things, and he analyzes the situation as the head is the way.

Sheng Langjun nodded when he heard this, he was also a well-read person.

Naturally, it can be seen that the contradiction between imperial power and vassal power will become bigger and bigger.

I'm afraid that the political situation in the south is really unstable, and the current peace is all an appearance.

"Good boy, you can see a lot of things now." Sheng Langjun was overjoyed.

This kid has a sense of the overall situation, and he also has a good martial arts, and he has a future in Sheng Langjun's opinion.

Only the kind of people who are both civil and military, have a good sense of the overall situation, and have good luck will survive in the troubled times.

"Then, tell me about the situation in the north, whether it is appropriate for us to go there." Sheng Langjun looked at the disciple with a smile, and then said.

Although most of the northern land is the territory of those barbarians, there is still a Han regime in Liangzhou, and if you want to go, you can still go there to live a stable life.

"Not suitable, because there are many forces in the north, and each force will not be convinced by other forces, and it may fight at any time, so it can be said that the north is also a bamboo pole that may explode at any time."

"Well, what you said makes more sense." Sheng Langjun looked at the original owner, changed to a more lazy posture and said, "So, do you think the north will not be as good as the south in the future?" ”

"Of course not, although the regime in the north does not look good, I feel that it is still the north that will be able to dominate the world in the future." The original owner said.

"Huh? How do you think so? Sheng Langjun's eyes looked at the original owner with a little curiosity, and then asked.

"You can look at the historical record, the combat effectiveness of the army in the north has always been stronger than that in the south."

"One day, when the north is in turmoil, there will almost be a male lord and it will be integrated into one place."

"On the contrary, the fighting power of the south is getting weaker and weaker." The original owner said.

"Why is that?" Sheng Langjun asked deliberately.

"It is impossible for a person from a big family to give up vested interests."

"I will only try to preserve my own strength, weaken the power of other families, and dominate the south with it."

"This should be a slow wrestling process, the various families will rack their brains, and there will be a period of considerable peace."

"After a long time, from top to bottom, from the ruling class to the common people, there will be a delusion, thinking that the south can always be bounded by the river and become a paradise."

This point of view was said by Ling Xiao to the original owner, and many times in history the reunification of the north and the south were often the rise of the forces of the north, and finally one day the great cause of the reunification of the north and the south was completed.

"And there is a big problem in the south that cannot be solved, the soldiers are all self-cultivated farmers, and every war means that a large number of people die, and the number of times is long, and most families can't stand it."

"Many officials in the South have been more concerned about the situation of the opposing families than the situation on the other side of the river. They often only see the immediate benefits, and do not see that there are people in the north who have been eyeing the enemy, and then the war-weariness will gradually soar. Because most of the people who died in the war were strong laborers in their families, this is bound to affect the life of every ordinary family, and some people will sell themselves to Haoqiang in order to survive, because if they don't sell, they can't live. ”

"To be a civilian, you have to pay more and more taxes and conscription, and you have to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, after a few experiences, the common people will sell themselves to Haoqiang, you can survive, in this case there is no more choice."

Sheng Langjun's eyes lit up when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, and walked around the house with some excitement, this disciple is really very good.

"Good! Go on. Sheng Langjun looked at his disciple, and he felt more and more that this disciple was good, and the most important thing was to see far.

His own disciples are much better than those who are familiar with the scriptures, and in his opinion, he is a person who can read.

But it is not the same as having lofty ideals, and standing in a place that is not high enough, causing them to not see far enough.

Anyway, Sheng Langjun knew that the young people of the family had not thought of so many problems.

"And this choice of selling oneself has further reduced the taxes of the imperial court."

"Then in order to squeeze more money, taxes will be increased, and it will be distributed to the common people."

"This situation will only make it impossible for civilians to survive, and more people will choose to sell themselves into slavery, which is a vicious circle."

The original owner imagined that if it was a long time, there would be fewer and fewer people who could serve in the military, resulting in the entire armed organization not being able to receive people.

For their own interests, the nobles will try their best to evade taxes, and as a result, a large number of hidden fields will appear, which will reduce the financial revenue of the government.

Sheng Langjun also understands that in fact, if you pay taxes according to the regulations, I am afraid that the nobles will not be able to accept this kind of regulations, and they will naturally make some small moves.

The wise emperor should also know about this (and some don't know), but the entire bureaucratic system is like this, moving one family is equivalent to moving everyone, even if it is a high-ranking person.

"That's right!" Sheng Langjun said that he was a person from a big family, so he naturally knew the secret things in the family, and where the people of the big family were willing to pay all the taxes, then Yintian came into being.

In fact, in addition to accepting bribes, there are also many big businessmen who also give money, hoping to be taken care of, and the big families are happy to provide some shelter.

This situation will inevitably lead to a reduction in the government's tax revenue, but who cares? The people of the big family only think about the continuation of the family.

In the eyes of the people of the big family, anyway, if they change the dynasty, they can still be officials, and even control the government.

This has become a well-known unspoken rule, and everyone in the big family knows it.

Those families all came over like this, and the clansmen all thought about the glory of the family.

Because they have all enjoyed the family's gifts, they naturally want to contribute to the family.

The life or death of the dynasty did not mean anything to them.

The biggest idea is how to make his family more powerful.

"Zi'an thinks well, I naturally know that the south is not very good."

"If we go to the south, first, we don't have the strength of the family, and second, you are very likely to be drafted into the army."

Sheng Langjun's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, "Then we can't go to the south, the south is a big pit." ”

"But in the north, it's not so good. After all, there should still be a lot of time for the war between them, and let's go now, and we will also be a subordinate, let alone it. ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Langjun paused and said, "Then the question is, what can we do to live well?" ”

At this moment, he was a little helpless, because after some calculations, every road was very difficult to walk.

"Master, we can change our thinking, if it doesn't work on the Central Plains Continent."

At this point, he paused and glanced at Master.

"Then, of course, we can stay in another place."

"What does that mean?" Sheng Langjun said.

"You can go to Yizhou." The original owner named this place.

During the Sun Wu period, he established contacts with Yizhou, and it was good to go to that place.

As long as there is a certain amount of armed force, at least a certain amount of territory can be obtained.

This is also Ling Xiao's idea to the original owner, after all, that place has always been in an isolated state.

Whether it is the big families and emperors in the south, or the barbarians in the north, they can't take care of that island.

The original owner was given a chance to develop, instead of going to the north or south to become their cannon fodder.

As for the future development, Ling Xiao doesn't care, anyway, the future of the original owner is his efforts, and he can also give the remaining Han people in the north a chance to survive.
