Chapter 1046: It's all to blame on the eunuchs!
Well, it's not waste, it's stupid, and it's bad!
Wang Xuan directly defined the actions of these families.
"What does this great Han country have to do with our scholars, it is clear that after the natural disaster, the people are in turmoil, and the warlord Dong Zhuo is ruled by chaos!" Saying that it can't be said that it is the pot of the disintegration of the Han on the back of the scholar clan, Chen Qun said categorically.
"Shh Wang Xuan sneered, squinted at Chen Qun and said, "How many acres of land does your Chen family have?" ”
"What does it matter? The land of my Chen family has been passed down from generation to generation by an ancestor, what does it have to do with the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty? Chen Qun looked at Wang Xuan very vigilantly, and his intuition told him that there was a pit here.
"Okay, I won't ask you how much land you have, but even if there is a natural disaster, is there really no food? Forced to the point of chaos everywhere? Wang Xuan raised a finger and shook it gently, "This is simply impossible!" ”
"The Han Dynasty stipulates that the maximum tax on land cultivation does not exceed fifteen taxes and one, and the lowest tax is thirty taxes, even if the peak of the Emperor Ling period is only twenty taxes and one, such a low tax, why would the people rise up because of a natural disaster without food?"
"The biggest reason is land annexation! Whenever there is a disaster, these wealthy families would rather have outdated grain than take it out to help the victims, but instead take advantage of the disaster to raise the price of grain and force the people to sell their land. ”
"Through this means, the land scattered among the people has been like this since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and until now, the entire Han Dynasty basically sees no homesteaders, and the land is basically in the hands of the scholars."
"The scholars claim to be the shepherd hunter on behalf of the heavens, on the one hand, they compete with the emperor for power and profit, absorb greater power, and on the other hand, they use all means to annex the land that originally belonged to the country, and all kinds of means force the people to live, and if they can't survive, they can only rise up, and the first thing that is damaged by every civil uprising is the homesteaders who can barely maintain starvation, and as they are involved in the war, after the death of these people, the land will naturally be annexed by the local scholars."
"As a result, the land in the world basically fell into the hands of large, medium and small families at all levels, and the people who lost their land could only become tenants, and once they became tenants, their ability to resist natural disasters would be completely lost, because in addition to paying taxes, the income obtained from farming had to be paid seventy percent to the landowners and there was no surplus food at home, so every day when the disaster occurred, they either chose to starve to death or choose to rebel."
"It's like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you managers are manipulating behind the scenes, taking the opportunity to threaten the master, in order to achieve the means of stealing greater benefits."
"After this cycle goes on again and again, a huge man has been completely harmed by these warriors who claim to be the Heavenly Shepherd."
"Bloody mouth, my Chen family is a prominent family in the world, only accepts forty percent of the rent, and has never forced others to rent land!" Chen Qun will not be able to maintain any demeanor at this time, let Wang Xuan say this, the reason why this big man collapsed and the pot fell all on their scholars, isn't this nonsense!
But he couldn't think of words to refute for a while, saying that it was all the emperor's problem? The emperor is unknown?
But in fact, no matter how the emperor uses people, only scholars can be used in the court, and this era is this kind of talent selection system.
What's more, the probation system of this era is a 'filial piety and honesty system', but those who are qualified to be elected are local officials and celebrities and Confucians, and the people can only be elected by this group of people, after all, no matter how filial he is, it is useless for the people to be illiterate!
As for Lian, not to mention, people who don't have the right to fart in their hands don't have a chance to be cheap.
So, thinking about it, why a good man is finished with calves is not a problem of scholars, it can only be a problem of eunuchs.
That's right, it's the emperor who reuses eunuchs!
However, it is obvious that everyone, including Wang Xuan, sneered at this.
Wang Xuan turned his head to look at Liu Bei, pointed at Chen Qun and said: "King Han, look, for them, forty percent of the rent can already be taken out to show off, as if it is a great benevolence, ha, what is the use of this kind of person who has no fart except for collecting rent?" ”
"Why do you want to hand over the land to such people, let them deduct at least forty percent, as many as seven or eight layers of land endowments, and we will expropriate it ourselves or leave it to the people, isn't it fragrant?"
"Scholars can still govern the world, without scholars, can the world be governed by a group of grass people who can't read big characters!" Chen Qun roared loudly with a hideous face.
"As for the talents who govern the world, how much time does it take for us to train a grassroots official? Two years or three years? It's a no-brainer, so what's the use of them? Just to let them withhold food? Forcing the people to rebel? Wang Xuan rubbed his nose, looking unreasonable.
Ignoring the entire Chen Qun who was on the verge of eruption, Wang Xuan said solemnly: "For the monopoly of knowledge and the inspection system, so that the scholars can ensure that the power and glory of the generations are in place, the so-called decline is just a competition between the scholars, this is like a dead pool of water, has been completely corrupted and degenerate, they always want to keep the same, so that their own inheritance for thousands of generations, and never think about how to improve productivity, expand the country, increase grain production, further development of agricultural and sideline products, and so on." ”
"The scholar clan has completely declined, and there is no need to work hard to make yourself worry about food and clothing, and the scholar class of the princess Wandai has long since lost the thriving and vigorous development of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been eating the old book of the Zhuzi Hundred Schools period, whether it is ideologically or technologically."
"Such a class has become the biggest obstacle to the further progress of society, only by completely crushing them, can the whole country, the whole society go further, take Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou as an example, these families have not thought about how to make the land by the sea can produce food for hundreds of years, only want to snatch land from the people."
"We're different, we've developed cement breakwaters, we've dug rivers, we've washed the saline land by the sea with fresh water, and now, we've developed tens of millions of acres of land along the coast, and because of the good irrigation system, these fields have become good paddy fields that can feed millions more people."
"Look at the land we occupy, and after we wiped out the gentry, the people burst out with great creative power."
"Why can we develop rapidly and thriving, why is the world occupied by Cao Cao dead and unchanged, in the final analysis, it is because of these families in the Central Plains, they expect to remain unchanged, so that they can last for generations."
"Even if the change of dynasties has nothing to do with them, no matter who sits in the world, they need them to govern, they have nothing to fear, no matter who wants to seize the world, they can't do without their help, anyone who does not agree with them will immediately lose the support of the people, because no matter talents, resources, public opinion are in their hands."
"The only thing they fear is change, they fear, they hate, they loathe, they try to destroy the change, because once they change, they can save the dependence of generations to come."
"And we are different, this is a troubled times, troubled times out of heroes, we survive and win in the challenges again and again, which proves that we are all heroes, we are the leaders of this era, we look forward to the changes in this world, only in this way can the world become more exciting, we have a broader vision, know that the world is very big, we will not be willing to be in a corner of the peace, we are not afraid to meet the challenge, we hope to ride the wind and waves to challenge the future, we are good at exploring the unknown."
"We're not like them!"
"We are destined to be the pioneers and writers of history, and we will surely leave our names in history."
Wang Xuan stood up from his seat, his arms were spread, his head was raised at a forty-five degree angle, and the more he spoke, the more high-pitched and passionate he became, and everyone present was enthusiastic about it.
As Wang Xuan 'we' one by one, everyone present stood up one after another, including Liu Bei, all of them looked at their spiritual leader Wang Xuan with red faces and red ears with excited faces.
The great flicker Wang Xuan, he inherited the glorious tradition of the great flicker, Hitler, Churchill, Lincoln, Zhao Benshan at this moment of the soul possession, Wang Xuan alone represents the long history and tradition of the flickering world, at this moment he is not alone in the fight, he is not alone!
