"Childe, do you know what is the root cause of my big man's illness now?"

After coming out of Pang Tong's 'office', Liu Chan's mind was still echoing the question that the great god had just raised.

It's a pity that this phoenix chick only asked questions, but he didn't give him a direct answer or hint like the previous pricing of the parchment paper.

"Isn't the illness of the Han Dynasty the same as at the end of all dynasties, when the land annexation caused the people to live in misery, which in turn provoked peasant uprisings, and then was seized by various warlords?"

Thinking of the Yellow Turban Uprising that led to the current situation of warlord secession, Liu Chan, who was still thinking about this question, couldn't help but muttered to himself.

In fact, on the way back, Liu Chan quickly found the standard answer that any 'Nine Leaky Fish' could say in the later generations.

"Uh...... Why does something seem wrong? These seem to be just appearances, not the real root of the disease! ”

It's just that for this standard answer from later generations, Liu Chan himself quickly denied it.

"It seems that both the warlord secession and the Yellow Turban Rebellion originated from the annexation of land, but since Liu Xiu's revival of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this land annexation has been very serious. So why did it take two hundred years until now to break out, is it really just because the war has reduced a large number of people and freed up land? ”

After rejecting the standard answer he found, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

'The country will be destroyed by weakness, and the only man will die by strength! ’

Just when Liu Chan was confused, suddenly, a sentence summarized by later generations about the reasons for the fall of the dynasties suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What was the reason for Han Yiqiang's death?"

Muttering the summary of later generations that came to mind, Liu Chan seemed to have found the real reason for the fall of the Han Dynasty. It's just for a while, but it's always separated by a fog.

'There is nothing in the world for nothing, today relying on the family to win the world, but he will pay back the principal with interest in the future! ’

Suddenly, Liu Chan's ears seemed to ring the words that Pang Tong had said when he said to win over the family.

"Investment? Family, gate valve? I understand, the root of Dahan's illness turned out to be here, hahahaha! ”

Like lightning piercing the sky in the dark night, the term 'gate valve' suddenly popped out of his mind, but it instantly solved all the doubts in his heart.

The gate valve is the joint name of the door and the valve reading, which refers to the famous family that has been an official for generations, also known as the door, the crown, the family, the family, the family, the giant room, etc.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, whether it was the conquest of the imperial court or the inspection of the county, most of them were selected by scholars of the rich scriptures.

In other words, from the time Emperor Wu exalted Confucianism and became the only one, similar to the Four Books and Five Classics of the imperial examination in later generations, the 'standard examination questions' for the selection of officials in the imperial court in this era were classics.

It's just that it has always been limited by the conditions of the times, and it is not easy to teach scriptures. Therefore, the children of these scripture masters naturally got close to the water and the moon first, and passed on these scriptures in the form of a family.

Then, through the teaching of the past dynasties, these successive generations of scriptures in the selection of officials in the imperial court, it is natural to form the successive ministers, and began to form into 'Haoqiang', with the prototype of the family gate.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Liu Xiu rebuilt the Han Dynasty with the support of the powerful scholars in these places, after the reconstruction of the Han Dynasty, he naturally had to repay the peach and reward the meritorious deeds.

In this way, after these families further control the officialdom, they will naturally complete the transformation from strong to real family gates.

As for the issue of land annexation that Liu Chan paid attention to based on the 'standard answer' of later generations, I'm sorry, it's just an 'inadvertent' behavior that these clan lords don't care about at all!

Therefore, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, taking advantage of the inability of the imperial court to control the locality, these clan lords who wanted money and people immediately became self-reliant or looked for agents to invest, which also formed a situation in which the warlords were divided and the Han Dynasty was divided.

It's just that because he was limited by the traditional education of later generations, he blamed the fall of the feudal dynasty on land annexation, but Liu Chan ignored one of the key factors that really led to the fall of the Han Dynasty.

"That's not right, isn't this phoenix chick himself from a big family? Why did he ......?"

wanted to understand the role played by the clan gate valve in the four divisions of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Chan immediately became puzzled by Pang Tong's actions.

You must know that this Pang Tong is not from a commoner or a poor family, but from the Pang family, one of the largest families in Jingzhou, a standard son of the family!

"Childe, this is?"

Just when Liu Chan was still puzzled by Pang Tong's actions, Zhao Yun's slightly worried inquiry voice suddenly came from his ears.

"Haha, Uncle Yun don't worry, Xiao Zhi just has some experience with what Junshi Pang just mentioned. Let's go back to the military advisor! ”
