Regarding Xun Yu's ending, Chen Zhou is still quite a pity.

The end of life lies in an empty food box, loyal to the Han Dynasty and loyal to Cao Cao, which is destined to be sad.

Chen Zhou wanted to change Xun Yu's fate, first instilling in him the idea that the great Han spirit was exhausted, weakening his loyalty to the Han family, hoping to avoid that tragedy.

"The matter of the yellow scarf has something to do with the exhaustion of the big man's spirit?" Xun Yu asked.

"Relevant!" Chen Zhou said, "I mentioned on that topic that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is actually related to the economy, and most of this economic problem appears on the land, Mr. Xun should be clear, right?" ”

Xun Yu is also a scholar.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the appearance of the Yellow Turban rebels did have an inseparable relationship with their clan.

Most of the land in the world is controlled by the nobles.

The peasants had no land, so they had to rent from the gentry and become tenant farmers.

If the weather has been normal and there is no catastrophe, it is fine, but once a disaster occurs, the farmland will not be harvested, and the scholars will still have to collect the rent of the farmland, and the tenant farmers will not be able to pay the rent, and even the fields will be gone.

The tenant farmers, who were originally oppressed by the scholars, now have no food to eat, and are forced to pay rent, and the accumulation of anger has reached a critical point.

Most of the people in the yellow scarves are farmers.

If the peasants could have enough to eat and have their own land, who would want to rebel?

Thinking of so much, Xun Yu sighed and said, "That's true. ”

"When a dynasty is first established, everything is thriving."

"For example, in the Han Dynasty, when Gaozu founded the country, the world was at the beginning of peace, and the people's yearning for the future was also beautiful."

"After experiencing the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty at that time was not very large, and there were more ownerless wastelands, Gaozu reformulated the land system, and the people who survived the troubled times could get considerable land, which could be easily cultivated and cultivated, and the world soon ushered in a prosperous era."

"May I ask Mr. Xun, am I right?"

Chen Zhou said again.

Xun Yu nodded slightly, what he said was the truth.

"But according to the Han system, with the passage of economic laws, land property rights will eventually be concentrated in the hands of a few people."

"In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the population was not large, the land was sufficient, and everyone lived a prosperous life."

"With the development of the dynasty, the growth of the population will naturally not stagnate, there are more people, the amount of land is fixed, then the per capita arable land will be less, and the land contradiction will gradually break out."

"Then, according to the law, a large amount of land will be transferred to a small number of people."

"This is land annexation."

"A large number of peasants have no land, so they can only cling to those few people as tenants."

"In this way, the imperial court's control over the local area will also be weakened."

Chen Zhou continued to analyze.

Before Xun Yu finished listening, his face was a little pale.

Because what Chen Zhou said was real, for example, now, as a member of the Shi clan, he knows the relationship very well.

"Why is the imperial court's control over the local area weakened because of this?"

Cao Ang asked incomprehensibly.

Chen Zhou said: "Because these peasants have become tenant farmers, and they have no land under their hands, the imperial court cannot collect their taxes, and a small number of noble families who control a large amount of land are powerful, and the imperial court can collect their taxes?" In order to maximize their profits, the scholars would even conceal their land and population, and while expanding their own interests, they weakened the control of the imperial court. ”

Cao Ang finally understood, his face was the same as Xun Yu's, and he soon became not very good-looking.

It seems that the bane of the world is their family and family.

"The imperial court can't collect taxes, and its control over the local area is weakened, so it is very powerless to defend against foreign enemies or provide disaster relief."

Xun Yu echoed and said: "For example, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money on the Xiqiang War, and there were natural disasters and droughts in many places, and the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief. ”

It is worthy of Xun Yu.

After Chen Zhou's reminder, he gradually figured out the reason.

Chen Zhou said again: "The current people, in fact, have long lost trust in the Han court, and the court has no popular support, isn't it exhausted?" ”

Dahan has come to an end and can't be saved.

"What if the imperial court takes a tough stance and remeasures and divides the land, counts the population, and regains control of the localities?"

Cao Ang came up with his own idea.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou and Xun Yu both laughed.

The idea is simple, not so easy to implement.

"Wang Mang has done the same, but what is the result?"

"He undermined the long-developed land relations, prevented the sale of land and serfs, and harmed the interests of the noble clan."

"It has even harmed the interests of some yeoman farmers."

"Wang Mang's fate, Gongzi knows very well, right?"

"That's why we have Guangwu Zhongxing."

"Wang Mang was originally a usurper and a traitor, and he did so many things that were not conducive to the Shi clan, which accelerated his demise, otherwise Wang Mang would not have collapsed so quickly."

Chen Zhou explained to Cao Ang.

However, Wang Mang's collapse has a lot to do with Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, and if there is no meteorite to fall down, Liu Xiu's success is not so easy.

After listening to this explanation, Cao Ang didn't know what to say.

It turns out that the respected and admired scholars are the root cause of the troubled times.

The qi of the Han Dynasty is corrupted in the hands of the scholars.

"Why do you say three hundred years?"

Xun Yu asked after thinking about it.

Chen Zhou explained: "Because from the first land annexation to the demise of a dynasty, the time for all the contradictions to accumulate is exactly about three hundred years, more or less, this is since the Qin Dynasty, after the Han Dynasty, all dynasties, as long as they can't change the problem I said, it's almost like this, and they can't get out of this law." ”

Xun Yu frowned and thought hard, agreeing with Chen Zhou's analysis.

Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, it is also as Chen Zhou analyzed.

Of course, in addition to economic and political reasons, there are also climatic reasons.

These Chen Zhou can't explain it, because it's not good to give an example of the Xiaoice River period, and now it's only the end of the Han Dynasty.

But the shock to Xun Yu and Cao Ang was already super big.

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united."

"It's a law of history."

"At present, the Han family has run out of energy, even if there is a minister who wants to be a minister of Zhongxing, and wants to change the law and support the Han family, but the current emperor, can he catch it?"

Chen Zhou asked Xun Yu this question.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was still frightened in Guanzhong.

Even if the Yuan family is willing to support the Han and Yuan Shao is willing to be a minister of the Zhongxing, I am afraid that the Han will not be able to save it.

Xun Yu shook his head.

"Mr. Xun's gaze should not be only on the Han family."

"The Han made the people unable to afford to eat, so starvation is death, and rebellion is death."

"Sir's eyes should be on how to calm the world, if the Han family can still help, then help, if not, just change the master."

"If it is purely for the sake of the Han family, resulting in continuous wars in the world and the people are not happy, this is what Mr. Xun wants to see?"

Chen Zhou asked Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu's faith seemed to be about to be shattered, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "No one wants to see that the world is in chaos like this." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou understood that he had shaken Xun Yu's heart.

It shouldn't be in the future, it's a pity to die like that.
