Chapter 68: The Birth of the Family
Simulating the end of Sun Shangxiang's future, the panel returns to its initial state.
Cao Cao's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although it is just a virtual life, it allows him to see a corner of his grandson Cao Bin's future.
This tip may only be a small corner of the deep-sea iceberg.
From this corner, Cao Cao saw that after his grandson Cao Bin ascended the throne, he practiced his ideas, carried out universal basic education, and achieved good results.
Public schools have been set up in all parts of the country, so that civilians can also have the opportunity to enter the school and step into the door of knowledge.
In addition, he also abolished the primogeniture system and replaced it with a meritocracy system.
In addition, he also developed an effective evaluation system to allow all princes to compete fairly for the crown prince's position.
The talents of the princes were assessed from all aspects, and the most suitable one was finally selected to become the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. Error-free updates @
Impartial, fair and impartial.
"The establishment of succession and virtue is for the inheritance of the family, so that the family will last for a long time and stand tall."
"Take my Cao family as an example, Liyan, Bin'er is the son of Ang'er, and my grandson is considered a descendant; Lixian, Pi'er and Zhi'er can't be compared with Bin'er, and they are even very different! β
"Therefore, no matter from the perspective of establishing a successor, the heir is none other than Bin'er."
Cao Cao saw more.
This system is not only applicable to the royal family, but also to noble and commoner families.
Who can guarantee that the eldest son will be better than the other sons, and more suitable to inherit the title and the position of the head of the family?
Why can't the concubines inherit, so they can only share some leftovers and stay away from the power core of the family?
If this assessment system is also introduced, can it make the family go further?
"However, with Bin'er's longevity, I'm afraid his sons will be disappointed."
"If you want to take over Bin'er's throne, you have to live until that time!"
After thinking about it, Cao Cao suddenly thought of his grandson Cao Bin's future as emperor, which could not be simulated because it lasted more than four hours.
From this inference, it can be inferred that Cao Bin's lifespan must have exceeded 110 years, or even longer.
Then, as his son, even if he worked hard to win the crown prince's position.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
When he was dying, his own emperor Lao Tzu was still alive, and even the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.
After a lifetime of struggle, I couldn't sit in that position.
Surprised, surprised?
"My poor great-grandson..."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel sad for his great-grandson's future.
All his life, he was just a titular crown prince, a tool man.
That pain...
It's desperate to think about!
"Also, the demotion system for generations!"
After pondering for a long time, this award system returned to Cao Cao's field of vision.
Don't look at it as inconspicuous, even Lao Cao ignored the past at first.
At this time, after carefully recalling it, he realized the cleverness of this system.
From God's point of view, Cao Cao knew that his grandson's implementation of the meritorious system was to completely break the patriarchal system and crack down on the family.
The family was born in the early Han Dynasty.
Because the royal power has an absolute dominant position over the whole world, this provides great convenience for the politically powerful landlord class to use political means to strengthen its own economic strength.
By virtue of their own advantages, they laid the foundation of their family's power.
Another condition for the emergence of the great family is the influence of the patriarchal system.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the blood patriarchal relationship has still been retained, and the patriarchal system and bureaucratic politics have been combined, forming a feudal scholar class that enjoys political privileges and has been an official for generations.
This provides a clan foundation for the formation of the family's power.
From the early Han Dynasty to the period of Emperor Wu, there were various social forces, and they formed alliances at the local level to form a separation of powers.
Due to the fierce contradictions between various social forces and the royal power, the imperial court has been restricting and cracking down on them since the early Han Dynasty.
Military. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 68: The Birth of the Family
During the imperial period, the intensity of cracking down on various social forces was particularly strengthened, and its measures mainly included the following aspects:
Migrating to the strong, weakening its power.
Emperor Wu followed the policy of Han Gaozu migrating Yan, Zhao and other heroes to Guanzhong, so that various social forces "have fallen in less than ten years, and their arrogance is depressed... Broken, withered, and decayed. β
The history of stabbing is limited to Haoqiang.
During the time of Emperor Wu, he set up the assassin history to supervise the locality, and its duties were mainly to supervise the illegal acts of the princes and kings and the two thousand stones, and also included the supervision of the local heroes.
According to the six questions of the assassin history, he cracked down on the annexation of land by Haoqiang and forbade the combination of Haoqiang and local officials.
Use economic means to crack down on the powerful.
With the development of the economy, the power of officials and businessmen has swelled, and Chao Cuo pointed out that "today's law is cheap businessmen, and businessmen have become rich and noble; Respect the farmer, the farmer is poor. β
Emperor Wu used methods such as prohibiting private coinage, salt and iron official camps, arithmetic, and suing to deprive the rich of their economic strength.
Cool officials were appointed to suppress Haoqiang.
When Emperor Jing arrived at Emperor Wu, he reused cool officials to suppress Haoqiang.
The cool official Wang Wen Shu punished the strong in Hanoi County, "the big one is the clan, and the small one is dead"; Zhou Yang is from "the county where you live, you will be proud"... Wait a minute.
Emperor Wu used cool officials to carry out a bloody suppression of Haoqiang, stabilized the social order, and stabilized the centralization of power.
However, the fundamental purpose of Emperor Wu's suppression of pride was not to eliminate this class, but to limit the expansion of its power so as to eliminate its threat to imperial power.
At the same time, the emerging bureaucratic landlords were also protected by the imperial regime.
They "are favored and carry high positions, their families are warm and rich, and they compete with the people for the benefit of the world because of their wealth and wealth", which laid the foundation for them to become a family power.
In addition, in order to make up for the vacancy of central and local powers, Emperor Wu began to implement the probation system and the conscription system.
In the probation system, the local governor inspects and elects talents at any time in the area under his jurisdiction and recommends them to the higher authorities or the central government, and then appoints officials after probation and evaluation;
The conscription system is in which Emperor Wu summons a group of capable people and confers official positions on them.
Through these measures, all segments of society have access to power.
In order to ensure the realization of this electoral system, Emperor Wu advocated Confucianism, commended the Six Classics, and made many people become officials with the Ming Classics.
The policy of "entering the government through the economy" has provided new conditions for the rise of various social forces.
After that, the trend of integrating bureaucrats, landlords, merchants, and scholars became more and more obvious, and a wealthy family of scholars and scholars was formed, which integrated bureaucrats, landlords, merchants, and scholars. Initial Update@
And this class, in the subsequent development, gradually became the power of the family.
By the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the power of the family had been basically formed.
He has been an official for generations, and has been in the center of power in the world for generations, and his influence has penetrated into all aspects of the world's economy, politics, culture, etc., and has become a very active and huge force.
Then, during the reign of Wang Mang, the power of the family had developed greatly, and the power of the family at this time was more closely integrated with the imperial court.
During this period, various social contradictions intensified, and the annexation of land and the slavery of the poor hindered the development of the new dynasty.
As a result, Wang Mang carried out reforms and implemented the system of Wang Tian, private ownership, and five equals and six equals, which seriously violated the interests of the great families, and most of them opposed the "New Deal", which caused nationwide social unrest and eventually led to the defeat of the regime.
From this fact, it is not difficult to see that the power of the family has further developed into a force capable of influencing the imperial power.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the family had further developed and had new characteristics.
The family of the Eastern Han Dynasty was mainly composed of founding heroes, clans, relatives, and emerging forces.
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still to restrict and crack down on local families, such as Zhao, Wei, Qing, Xu and other surnames, as well as local tyrants.
At the same time, the imperial court also allowed the development of some family forces, "At this time, the public auxiliary, or the private favor for the descendants, and then the successive generations to the minister." β
In fact, after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more and more families, so that they played a pivotal role in the political life of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the emperors ascended the throne at an early age, and the young emperor succeeded to the throne, and the queen mother came to the court, forming the dictatorship of foreign relatives.
Most of the relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty were big families, such as the family of the Empress Dowager Dou and the family of the Empress Dowager Deng, and the emperor relied on them. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 68: The Birth of the Family
Eunuchs fight with their relatives.
Therefore, the dispute between relatives and eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually a struggle between the family and the imperial power.
At this time, the family had developed into a force that could compete with the imperial power.
Judging from the formation and development process of the power of the family in the Han Dynasty, the general development trend of the family is that in the Han and Han dynasties, its power continued to grow and develop.
From being initially constrained by royal power, to competing with royal power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has an important impact on the whole society.
However, as an important class in the social structure of the Han Dynasty, the family had an important impact on the society of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty in the process of its formation and development, which was mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, political influence.
The family means the family that has been an official for generations, that is, it has both bureaucracy and secular nature, bureaucracy is the foundation of bureaucracy, and bureaucracy is the development of bureaucracy.
In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, most of the officials were second- or third-generation families, and after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, this kind of family increased greatly, and the power became heavier, and by the Eastern Han Dynasty, bureaucratization had reached an unprecedented level.
With the continuous development of bureaucratization, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a family of officials who controlled local power for generations or was the central government for generations was formed, and they had a long history and a large clan scale.
The general bureaucracy on the basis of bureaucracy created a rivalry between the great clans and the royal power, and the royal power at this time was even weaker.
Second, it is the economic impact.
The clans bought private land through political and economic strength, or obtained land rewarded by the state through military exploits, and at the same time, they reclaimed the wasteland in the interior and border counties according to their own advantages.
Through the power in their hands, the big families frantically encroached on the land, making the land highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the land issue became a thorny issue for the two Han Dynasty.
Third, it is cultural influence.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, Confucianism was respected alone, and the dominance of Confucianism was established, and the study of Confucianism became an important way to combine the family and power.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers paid more attention to the study of scriptures, "and Guangwu Zhongxing, loved scriptures, and did not get off the car, but visited the elegance first,...... So he set up a doctor of the Five Classics, each taught by family law. β
Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty "is an edict to all Confucians to choose high-quality students, by the "Zuo", "Guliang Chunqiu", "Guwen Shangshu", "Mao Poems", by the four classics in the world. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First Update~~"
Due to the vigorous promotion of scripture by the imperial court, the family studies of the great clans of the family were very prosperous at this time, so that the power of the clan had a "cultural advantage".
At the same time, under the influence of Confucianism, the family gradually possessed the spirit of scholars, which made the family different from the general Haoqiang, and also promoted the transformation of the family to the scholar.
Throughout the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, the power of the family continued to develop, but due to the constraints of the imperial power, it did not form an independent social and political group, but was an appendage of the imperial power.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the power of the family tended to mature, it coexisted and died with the feudal dynasty under the constraints of the imperial court.
After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the rule of the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the power of most of the families gradually declined.
However, with years of war, the old family has been declining, and new families have been born, gradually forming the current situation.
That is, the princes occupy the dominant position in the world, and the family depends on the princes to survive.
In the long run, the family is definitely a destabilizing factor for the whole world.
"The big family, the cancer of the world!"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
For all the families in the world, he definitely hurts and hates them, but he has to rely on them.
"It is one of them to implement basic education for the common people and break the monopoly of the family on knowledge."
"Breaking the patriarchal system from the top, changing it to a system of degrading generations, and breaking the monopoly of the family in terms of power, and this is the second."
"Then support the emerging civilian forces, or it can be called the scholar forces, so that the scholar forces can compete with the family forces to achieve a balance of power."
"I have to say, Bin'er's methods are really clever!"
First of all, it is to break the monopoly of the family on knowledge, which is to attack the family from the root.
Why has the family flourished for hundreds of years, and why?
It is because they have knowledge and monopolize it, so that the common people cannot access it, let alone do it. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 68: The Birth of the Family
Official, you have changed your fate.
As long as they have a firm grasp of the great weapon of knowledge, the families can become officials for generations, and the emperor of the dynasty has to rely on them to govern the world.
However, Cao Bin's direct implementation of civilian basic education is equivalent to cutting off the roots of the family.
With this prerequisite, a system of demotion is introduced.
In the past, the emperors of all generations treated the princes and nobles with hereditary replacement, which was passed down from generation to generation.
Lao Tzu is the prince, the son is the prince, the grandson is still the prince, the children and grandchildren are endless, and the wealth is endless.
In this way, even if they are uneducated and do not understand knowledge, they can turn themselves into a big family and monopolize the power of the world by means of forcible seizure.
However, Cao Bin changed the hereditary repudiation to the successive generations and reduced the system, breaking this phenomenon.
Lao Tzu is the prince, the son can only become a duke, the grandson is a marquis, and the great-grandson is an earl...
Over the next few generations, if you don't make great contributions, you will completely transform into a commoner, and you will no longer be able to enjoy privileges. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
In this way, it is possible to ensure that the power class of the empire is always in a situation of renewal, rather than permanent power.
It is a very terrible thing to perpetuate power, because if there is no upward channel for the lower classes, they will be disappointed in society and will not be motivated.
From the perspective of the ruling class, this is fine, anyway, leeks.
But for the head of a nation, this is a very terrible thing.
Once the strata are stable and the people at the lower strata cannot be promoted, they will despair of the world, lie flat, or even have no desires.
In this way, how do leeks create wealth?
To get back to the point, Cao Bin's two-pronged approach will completely put an end to the family's control of the ascending channel!
After all, a pool of stagnant water is not enough, and only keeping it circulating at all times is king.
