Yun Han arranged for me to participate in military exercises, and halfway through, the war with the Northern Regions began. They fought without declaring war, which sounded very hateful, but in the final analysis, it was Luan Lin who was making trouble. She has captured most of the Northern Regions and lost half a million border guards and the Imperial City Army.

Just like knives and minced meat, puppet insects that can't be prevented.

People are almost numb to death.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a little grateful for Han's betrayal, which allowed me to get drunk and dream of death every day, not to face the pain of the soldiers directly.

Luo Qiuming's words pulled me back to reality, and he respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Even if the princess gets the tiger talisman, the border guards may not obey you. They themselves have a military spirit, a will, and will fight for a faith. Their belief is to defend the mountains and rivers. If the princess ordered them to beat their own people, it would most likely backfire. ”

I nodded: "Yun Han said these things to me, but you mention this now." Could it be that the power of the official family should be like this? ”

Luo Qiuming said: "When His Majesty Luan Yu recruited us, it was not because of fame and fortune, nor for money, but for ideas. The princess has studied history books since she was a child, and she should know the ancient Ida system and hereditary system. ”

"Yes." I nodded and casually recited, "The Jingtian system is that the government divides and distributes the land, and the few acres or wasteland around it are assigned to the farmer, and the farmer collects taxes according to the size of the land. Because the crops could not be moved, the trade of acres was slow, and over time, people stayed on the land for generations, which gave rise to the later hereditary system. ”

There are pros and cons to these systems, especially today's hereditary system.

If Luan Lu hadn't killed the emperor's relatives and relatives, there would probably be this strength everywhere to rebel now. She just had the foresight, or rather instinct, to destroy it.

The royal family was killed by her, but the official family and the folk family were not.

For example, the Xia family, a farmer, has been farming on this land for several lifetimes. They have a monopoly on almost all food within a radius of hundreds of miles. The price of food is set according to their conscience.

If such a huge family is not weakened, I am afraid that it will have the ability to compete with the government of the Southern Dynasties. How can the South Korean government not be worried?

Another example is the marriage between the eunuchs' families, which is also a headache for the incumbent.

Because of the respect for women, the Luan Dynasty sent sons out to marry among officials. The family is headed by the main mother, and it is impossible for a noble mother to give birth to too many children, so the size of the family will only be fixed at a certain size. Not to mention that there are many women who are willing to separate their families and live with their husbands.

But after the Southern Dynasty regarded men as the backbone, it would become the same as before, so that officials would be united by marriage.

Every time a superior punishes an official, he may encounter resistance from several forces.

They will prosper and lose, and they will also fight against the imperial power because of their common interests.

What are you going to do with them?

In the final analysis, the officials are what the emperor uses to work. Such a large territory is vast.

For example, if one family manages the harvesting of the salt pans and the other manages the taxes of the salt pans, the marriage of the two families will monopolize the entire salt mine. But if they are all wiped out, where will there be credible people to work for the emperor?

It's pretty much the same as doing business.

If the subordinate clerks are combined, they will not work, only take wages, and raise prices, without taking care of the people. Over time, the reputation of this store will naturally decline. If the store closes down, you can change the town and make a comeback. But if the country changes hands and the royal family is spurned by all the people, there will be no time to turn over.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
