Since the last time he was in power in Liangzhou, he had a chance conversation with the people of Liangzhou, and Yang Biao had changed. Yang Biao, who was born in a family, gradually realized the harm of the family to the country and the people. When he heard the data that Ma Chao said, he felt even more ashamed, and he felt that the family was harmful to the world.

Yang Biao lowered his head.

Ma Chao said: "Yang Gong thinks that it is reasonable that such a vast field and so many hukou are not registered, and they don't pay taxes to the state?" If this situation is not changed, I am afraid that it will only take 50 or 100 years for the family to devour the acres and hukou of the whole world. At that time, the country will not have acres and hukou, will it still be a country? At that time, what should the world have a surname? ”

Yang Biao was speechless, because he knew that the family family did not need to swallow all the acres and hukou in the world at all, as long as the family swallowed half of the world's acres and hukou into the belly, they could control the entire world. At that time, the state will cease to exist, and there will only be an alliance of great families. Because the foundation of the feudal state is built on the yeoman peasant and his field, without the yeoman farmer, there would be no feudal state; Without a feudal state, there would be no Confucian teaching.

Ma Chao said: "In the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu spared no effort to fight the powerful landlords in order to enrich the treasury and accumulate military funds to fight the Xiongnu. Cool officials such as Zhang Tang and Zhidu were sent to invent methods such as suing and reckoning, and many powerful people were relocated to Guanzhong. Therefore, in the former Han Dynasty, the country was strong.

In the Later Han Dynasty, as soon as Emperor Guangwu established the Later Han Dynasty, he immediately ordered that all those who had previously had titles should be restored; Those who previously occupied vast fields will resume their occupation. The Later Han Dynasty could not help but annex land, so the family rose rapidly and devoured a large area of the country's land. Up to now, the family has occupied a lot of land and household registration in the world. The loss of many tax revenues led to the decline of the country, which led to the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest, the Koubian Rebellion in the Xianbei Nian Nian in the North, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Eight Prefectures of the Central Plains, and the imperial court was powerless to pacify and resist. ”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Biao raised his head and said, "This is the purpose of leading the army into Beijing with your feet, right?" ”

Ma Chao didn't expect Yang Biao to be so smart, and he guessed his plan and intentions just by listening to his words.

Yang Biao looked at Ma Chao and said: "Crack down on the annexation of land by the big families, implement the reform of the equalization system, save the country from peril, and strengthen the country's strength." ”

Ma Chao looked straight into Yang Biao's eyes and said, "You can also say the same." I wonder what Yang Gong thinks about this? ”

Ma Chao believes that Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and his position is naturally the opposite of him; He also bluntly stated his intentions, which seemed to be against his plan.

Yang Biao turned his head, looked ahead, and said, "What you say is exactly what you say." The rampant behavior of the big families and the annexation of land have made the Han Dynasty terminally ill. If it is not corrected in time, the country will not be a country, and the world will perish. ”

These words caught Ma Chao off guard. He never thought that Yang Biao would think of it with him, after all, he was from a big family. The ass decides the head, how can he betray his own class to cater to him? The reason why Ma Chao was wooed was just to persuade Yang Biao not to prevent the implementation of his plan, and he never hoped that Yang Biao would think of it with him and stand on the same position.

Ma Chao looked at Yang Biao in disbelief, and began to wonder if Yang Biao deliberately agreed with his proposition, and deceived him to gain his trust, so as to sabotage his plan in the future?

Yang Biao saw Ma Chao's eyes looking at him, and said with a smile: "The old man guessed that the old man must have been surprised and confused that the old man actually agreed to the proposition of the foot. Because the old man is from the Hongnong Yang family, the Hongnong Yang family, like the Runan Yuan family, is the fourth generation and the third duke, and they are all the world's first-class families. How could he betray his origins and be inclined to curb the family and the annexation of the land? What the old man said is good, right? ”

Listening to Yang Biao's words, seeing Yang Biao so frank, Ma Chao was even more surprised, and shook his head silently.

Yang Biao said: "It's normal to feel strange and confused at the bottom. Because in the past, the old man would definitely oppose the containment of the family, and firmly believed that the family was the mainstay of the country, after all, the family contributed the most officials and talents to the country. But since the trip to Liangzhou, the old man no longer thinks like this. ”

Ma Chao vaguely remembered that it seemed that when he was preparing to conquer Hexi Hansui, Yang Biao was arguing about him fighting against the family heroes one second, and the next second Yang Biao actually came back and said that he would fight the family heroes. During this period, Yang Biao must have been touched by something, so there was a change. Ma Chao gradually began to trust Yang Biao.

Ma Chao asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Biao looked at the vast snow in front of him and said, "Because of the identity of the old man, in addition to the son of the family, there are also people. As a human being, how can the old man turn a blind eye to the exploitation of the people by the family, and even the loss of land, the outcast, and the starvation? Because the old man is a human being, he can't help but oppose the family. ”

Seeing that Yang Biao was actually a fellow practitioner, Ma Chao couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "The public character is noble, and I admire it." ”

Yang Biao said again: "Don't dare." In addition, the old man also has an identity, which is Hanchen. As I said, the family's annexation of land and concealment of household registration led to a sharp reduction in national taxes and a decline in strength, so it was unable to pacify the Qiang Rebellion in the northwest and resist the Xianbei Koubian. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was also the country's inability to suppress it, and it was only thanks to the dispatch of families from all over the country that it was able to be pacified.

The reason why the Hongnong Yang family was able to be the fourth and third dukes and eat Hanlu in the world was because of the kindness of the Han family. At present, the Han family is declining, and the old man is a Hanchen, how can he sit idly by? ”

The reason why Ma Chao opposes the family is not because he wants to support the Han family, but Yang Biao is also in the same camp as him, and Ma Chao has to seek common ground while reserving differences.

Ma Chao said: "What Yang Gong said is good, my entry into Beijing this time is to plan to curb the family and reform the system, so that the people of the world can have their land, and people can do their best to live and work in peace and contentment; No longer lose land due to the annexation of land by the family, and become a homeless person. Yang Gong and Comrade Chao want to work together with Yang Gong to achieve this goal. What about Yang Gongyi before trial? ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Biao immediately bowed his hands on the horse, and resolutely said: "My heart is for the people, loyal to the Han family, and I am with the old man." Since he already has a plan in his heart, and the old man also knows that his intelligence is far inferior to his feet, he is willing to listen to his orders in the future, and he is willing to drive for his feet! ”

This is an important minister in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he would be willing to obey him, a young man who has not yet been crowned!

Ma Chao was excited, held Yang Biao's hand, and said: "Thank you Yang Gong, I feel it in my heart, and I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the public!" ”
