Chapter 122: The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Partition System and the Centralized System
"Partition system?"
Liu Yong was stunned when he heard this.
This is a long-standing system, since the first emperor swept away Liuhe, under the implementation of the centralized system, this system has withdrawn from the stage of history.
Shuntianfu Mansion Yin even scolded: "Ignorant children, the sub-feudal system is simply the source of chaos, and you haven't heard of the rebellion of the Eight Kings during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty." β
Fang Xiaoyu's voice was even weaker: "This is the scholar's opinion, if the sub-feudal system is the source of cholera, how can the Great Zhou Dynasty have eight hundred years of national fortune, becoming the dynasty that has enjoyed the national fortune for the longest time in history, on the contrary, after the First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished the sub-feudal system, the national fortunes of the successive dynasties are getting worse day by day, one generation is not as good as the next, and even some dynasties only have two. Thirty years of national fortune, among these dynasties, the Han Dynasty is still about the same, enjoying the country for more than 400 years, but the Han Dynasty was still split in half by Wang Mang's new policy, if Wang Mang is not stupid enough to restore the Jingtian system, whether there is Liu Xiu Zhongxing is a problem. β
Shuntianfu Mansion Yin was speechless.
Liu Yong said with a smile at this time: "The feudal system implemented by Han Gaozu didn't later cause the Eight Kings Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty?"
"Lord Liu, you are the most well-known wise man in the dynasty, you are rich in knowledge, and your understanding of history is of course above Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu is certainly not an adult," Fang Xiaoyu said: " But Xiaoyu wants to say that each system has its advantages and disadvantages, the principle of measuring it is to see that its existence is more beneficial than disadvantageous, or disadvantage more than good, not for the existence of the school of thought to deny its existence, who is strong and who is inferior in the feudal system and the centralized system, two thousand years of history has proved who is better and who is inferior, if the feudal system is not as good as the centralized system, why the Great Zhou Dynasty will have eight hundred years of national fortune, becoming the longest dynasty in history, on the contrary, since the first emperor implemented the centralized system, the national fortune of the dynasties has become shorter and shorter, and even one generation is not as good as the generation, and even some dynasties only have a few decades of fishing master strategy history, if you Confucianism can solve this problem satisfactorilyToday's debate does not exist at all, I can say unceremoniously, these 1,800 years, Confucianism not only did not make any progress, but is turning back the wheel of history, as for our dynasty is always in one place, on the contrary, the system now implemented by Western countries is similar to the sub-feudal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, encouraging members of the royal family and nobles and people to boldly go out and expand the territory, no matter who you are, what kind of identity, as long as you can take a piece of land abroad, the country will recognize your existence, give you an official title, and it is in this system that people have laid a larger land than their own king, and feed the mother country with the resources of these lands, But you look at what our prince Baylor is doing with his meritorious children, in addition to the sound of dogs and horses, cockfighting lackeys and bullying men and women, what else can he do, this is not a good phenomenon, now you are not making any big trouble, but if one day you really cause any monstrous disaster, that is, no matter how virtuous the ancestors are, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect you, and more importantly, the blessings of the ancestors will be used up one day, and how can you let them live when the time comes? Rather than this, it is better to let these young people go out and break through, which can be regarded as finding a way out for them and reducing a little internal friction in the imperial court. β
Liu Yong was speechless, he understood people, how could he not know the disadvantages of the two systems that Fang Xiaoyu said, but he knew that he had any solution to the problem, but although the current emperor was merciful, he was also a master who had a monopoly on power, and the side of the couch allowed people to sleep soundly, how could he give away the power in his hands, even if it was overseas, even Prince Shuo was no exception: "You don't have to think about the feudal system at all, the emperor can't agree at all, it is simply from the emperor's hands." β
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled: "Of course it is impossible to divide the feud in the country, but why should we divide the feud in the country and seize power with the emperor, I am not stupid to this point." β
Prince Shuo and Liu Yonghe were a little confused: "Where are you not in the country?"
"Overseas separation!"
"Overseas separation?"
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Our family is not a scholarly family, it is a family of businessmen, and there are many business contacts with foreigners, I heard foreigners say that overseas places can be bigger, dozens of times the territory of our Qing Dynasty, according to them, we live in the world of a total of seven continents, four oceans, our Qing Dynasty is on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the east of Asia, on the map of the world accounted for a little bit." β
Prince Shuo was moved by what he heard: "Is the foreign devil's words credible?"
"The saying of seven continents and four oceans is basically very reliable," Fang Xiaoyu said: "As early as the pre-Ming Dynasty, Western countries began the era of maritime colonization, and drew all the countries in the world, terrain and mountains into a map, called the world map, people are relying on this map, people's hands have been stretched out to our doorstep, and Luzon, Macao, and the Nanyang Islands have all been taken away, if Zheng Chenggong hadn't driven away the Dutch, I estimate that even Taiwan may not belong to us, and Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands are also small lands for our Qing Dynasty, but they relied on the feudal system to open up the colonial era, and laid a foundation overseas that is more than ten times larger than the mainland. Twenty times the country, and from the far west to our Qing Dynasty's doorstep, opened the colonial era, although Britain started after these three countries, but after the industrial revolution, the national strength is even bigger, rapid overseas expansion, these years, they have taken no less colonies overseas than these two countries, our Qing Dynasty is worse than others, I can't see it, we have more resources than them, people are more than them, why can't we encourage the royal family to go out, even if we take people to pile up, we can also pile these small countries to death, if so, you say how much family business we can earn in the Qing DynastyWhat's more, there is only one throne, but there is more than one elder brother of the emperor, so they don't have to stare at that seat all day long, intrigue, isn't it also a good thing for the court and the emperor?"
Liu Yong nodded silently, what Fang Xiaoyu said was not a solution to the problem, but he then asked: "Even if the sub-feudal system is feasible, there is still a problem, that is, can the treasury afford it, all these years to fight back to Xinjiang and take Tibet, the treasury has been overwhelmed." β
"Why do you want the court to bear it?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The prince Baylor in the court is not rich, plus nepotism and protΓ©gΓ©s, this fund can be raised by them themselves, and the manpower must also be recruited by them, and the court will at most give a title and funding for weapons." β
Liu Yong suddenly understood: "You mean that the imperial court only paints a big cake on the wall." β
Fang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically: "Isn't it okay to paint a big cake on the wall?" I guess the Zhou Dynasty did the same thing back then, including today's Western countries, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, anyway, the imperial court has nothing to lose, but has solved some internal contradictions. β
Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "Anyway, I won't be fooled by this king." β
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled and said: " Expanding the territory belongs to the young people, the prince is old, even if you take the initiative to invite Ying to go to sea, the emperor has to think twice, but if you don't go, it doesn't mean that so many princes and young meritorious children in the royal family don't go, there are always some people among them who are excited, as long as the court sets a successful example, I'm afraid that they won't follow the clouds, after all, there are a few people who want to eat and drink and wait for death, if the Holy Ancestor Emperor was willing to take this strategy, the matter of the nine kings to seize the heir would not exist at all, the prince think about it, if there is a hope, a rush, who is willing to put his head in his hand and play with his brotherγ β
"It's the same!"
Prince Shuo couldn't help but nod.
Fang Xiaoyu followed: "In fact, the division should not only be for members of the royal family, but also for the big landlords of the people, they want to go overseas to seal it, but you first have to hand over the land in your hands to the imperial court, and the imperial court will give titles of different sizes depending on the size of their contributions." β
Shuntian Mansion Mansion Yin finally couldn't help it: "It's a lie to give a civil official title, what's the difference between this and selling an official and selling a lord?"
"Of course, there is a difference, we encourage them to go out, it is all for the long-term peace and stability of the imperial court," Fang Xiaoyu replied: "The biggest factor affecting the rise and fall of the dynasty is land annexation, and the increase in population, we can't solve it, but land annexation can be alleviated to the greatest extent according to this method, the people of our country are the most honest, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will not rise up against the imperial court." β
Shuntian Mansion Yin still wants to say again, Liu Yong has already made a final decision: "If the land issue is solved, it will indeed be able to renew the life of the Qing Dynasty, but this matter is very important, we have to find a suitable opportunity to talk to the emperor, let's talk about it today, but this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and it must be kept strictly secret before the emperor makes a decision," Speaking of this, Liu Yong turned his gaze to Shuntian Mansion Yin:" Lord Fu Yin, the four of us know about this matter today, before the emperor makes a decision, if anyone outside knows, this official will ask the emperor to cut off your head. β
Shuntian Mansion Yin couldn't help but say: "What if the prince reveals the news." β
Liu Yong snorted coldly: "No matter who leaves the news, the official will ask the emperor to cut off your head, don't think that the official is joking with you." β
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly laughed, this Liu Yong is really not ordinary domineering, but he likes it. But before his smile could be restrained, Liu Yong's gaze had already turned: "Among the young people, there are not many talented young people like you, if you are willing to serve the Jiawang Mansion, this official is willing to be the person who introduces you, and it is not difficult to get the reuse of Prince Jia with your wisdom." β
Hearing Liu Yong's words, Prince Shuo's face suddenly became ugly, he had seen someone digging the corner of the wall, but he had never seen someone digging the foot of the wall like Liu Yong, and he didn't leave him any face: "Liu Yong, what do you mean, the person that this king has a crush on, you dare to dig it, believe it or not, this king will beat you?"
Liu Yong's mouth pouted: "How can it be digging the foot of your wall, hasn't he yet taken refuge in your Shuowang Mansion?"
Prince Shuo was angry: "Then you are not allowed to dig, this king finally met a talent, how can you dig it up." β
Liu Yong smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a domineering person as you as the prince, besides, your Shuo Wangfu has not been recruited yet, right?"
β
"Then you are not allowed to dig, I am really going to force this king, this king I will directly stab the emperor, see the emperor towards me, the nineteenth uncle, or towards you, the king of the eight lambs?"
Prince Shuo directly burst out with a rough mouth.
Liu Yong suddenly felt a little big, although he really wanted to recruit talents for Prince Jia, but Prince Shuo he really couldn't afford to provoke Prince Shuo, Prince Shuo would really stab this matter to the emperor, don't say it was him, even Prince Jia would fall into the wrong, so he smiled helplessly: "Prince, even if you solicit people, you should ask people's opinions, how can anyone be as unreasonable as you." β
"You don't need to teach this king, this king will ask him," and then Prince Shuo turned his fierce gaze to Fang Xiaoyu: "Boy, from now on, you will be a member of our Shuo Wangfu, go to our palace on the first day of every month to receive the salary, and in the past, you will come with the rumor, and if you have something, you will directly report the name of the king." Then he threw a waist card directly to Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Wang, you don't assess me." β
"Assess a fart, and if you continue to assess, you will let people poach you," Prince Shuo said angrily: "Since you are already a member of King Shuo's Mansion, sell your strength to this king, and give the case to this king and my case, Lord Wang, I can make a bet with Luo Guozi today, and the bet is whether you can solve this case." β
