If the wealthy family is strong, the dynasty is weak!

Zhou Xuan understood this before he crossed into this world.

Today's Han Dynasty, although it seems to be extremely powerful, has in fact been hollowed out by the wealthy families.

The Han Dynasty had a population of one billion.

The number of free people who can be directly controlled by the imperial court is only five or six billion.

As for the remaining four or five billion people, they were all occupied by the powerful families.

Domestic servants, tenants, and slaves were all part of the family's population.

These people did not need to serve in the military service of the Han Dynasty, nor did they have to pay taxes to the Han Dynasty.

If you don't do military service, your military power is weakened.

If you don't pay taxes to the dynasty, your economic power is weakened.

These two points alone are enough to bring a powerful dynasty into decline!

What's more, if the local power is too strong, it will be difficult for the central government to issue and implement it.

This once again weakened the power of the dynasty from the legal level.

The gentry also formed a monopoly on knowledge.

Once knowledge is monopolized, even official power is monopolized.

In the court, the power of the family is extremely great, and it can even influence the situation in the court.

And so on.

In every way, it is weakening the power of this dynasty.

In Zhou Xuan's future planning, the power of these wealthy families must definitely be vigorously attacked.

"This time it was just a good time to start the attack from Shu County.

Hmph, if you're smart, it's good not to jump out, but once you jump out......"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan's slightly narrowed eyes had a cold glow that flashed away.

"Big brother!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu's cheers interrupted Zhou Xuan's contemplation.

I saw that he had already run to Zhou Xuan's horse, raised his head high, and looked at the two sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in Zhou Xuan's arms.

He looked at the attachment of the two little girls to Zhou Xuan, and couldn't help tilting his head, revealing a narrow smile, as if he had thought of something.

"Big brother, who are they?

Are you worthy of Sister Cai Yan for doing this?"

Well?

Zhou Xuan was stunned, looking a little stunned, not knowing what Zhou Yu was talking about.

Why did you get involved with Cai Yan?

Seeing Zhou Xuan's reaction, Zhou Yu pointed to his arms, and then hummed: "Oh!"

Zhou Xuan looked down and saw the twin sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, with a hint of shyness on their faces.

At this time, Zhou Xuan understood what Zhou Yu meant, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, whether it's Cai Yan or the two of them, they're still little girls." Do you think they're all as big as you?"

"Huh~~"

Zhou Yu pursed his lips and expressed disbelief.

Seeing that this kid looked like he was neither big nor small, Zhou Xuan immediately smiled a little angrily: "Hey fart, tell me honestly, what are you going to Cai Mansion for?"

Don't say go to Cai Shi, Cai Shi is still in Linhu and Xiang'an Pingshanyue Rebellion. ”

"Forehead ......"

Zhou Yu was suddenly asked by Zhou Xuan, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Even if you don't say it, I know that you plan to find Yao'er." ”

Yao'er's real name is Cai Yao, and she is Cai Yong's youngest daughter.

And according to Zhou Xuan's guess, this Cai Yao should be the Cai Zhenji in history.

Chua Jung-hee is not as famous as her sister Choi Wen-hee.

Even in history, there is no introduction to any of her deeds.

There is only one sentence.

Cai Zhenji, year of birth and death unknown, the daughter of Cai Yong, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, and the stepwife of Yang Xu.

And in this world, Cai Yao is indeed a lot worse than her sister Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji is a musical genius, a beautiful girl with national colors, and the focus of everyone's attention.

But Cai Yao is just an ordinary cute girl.

In fact, Zhou Xuan can see that even their father Cai Yong is obviously more partial to Cai Yan.

However, Zhou Yu, who prides himself on being extremely smart, unexpectedly gets along well with Cai Yao.

Zhou Xuan had already discovered that Zhou Yu paid special attention to Cai Yao.

It is precisely because of Zhou Yu's special attention that Cai Yao, who has lived under Cai Yan's halo since she was a child, feels valued and cared for.

Zhou Yu also admired Cai Yao, a little girl, from time to time, and was very useful.

The two just complemented each other, and they were unexpectedly harmonious.

At this moment, Zhou Yu heard his eldest brother's ridicule, and his little face instantly turned red.

He said hesitantly: "Where did I go to find Yao'er, I went to check the book."

That's right, just go check the books!"

Seeing Zhou Yu's shy appearance, Zhou Xuan was amazed.

"Tsk, you are so careful, and you still want to hide it in front of me?"

Even Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, as if he was curious why he was so precocious.

Zhou Yu, who was revealed by Zhou Xuan, was a little annoyed and angry.

He muttered: "Yes, I'm just the most looking for Yao'er, I know you want to laugh, just laugh, I don't care anyway." ”

Seeing Zhou Yu's aggrieved little appearance, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, who said we'd laugh at you?

What's wrong with going to Yao'er?

There's nothing wrong with that. ”

However, Zhou Yu didn't buy it, he continued to pout: "Then you are still laughing now, not sincere at all." ”

Zhou Xuan immediately smiled when he heard this, and said seriously: "Yes, am I smiling? You were definitely dazzled just now."

Brother Yu, don't worry, your brother and I not only don't laugh at you, but will support you. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Zhou Xuan obliquely, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Of course. ”

Zhou Xuan immediately patted his chest and promised, then his eyes flashed, and he asked curiously: "Speaking of Brother Yu, you have always been fond of those little girls, why do you treat Yao'er differently?"

This is also what Zhou Xuan is quite curious about.

Zhou Yu, this kid is very good-looking, and his popularity in the Zhou Mansion is not bad.

There are also many little girls who like to play with him, but he loves to ignore them, but he only takes the initiative to approach Cai Yao, who is not very outstanding.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's question, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment.

Then he spoke: "When I first met Yao'er, she was looking at Sister Cai Yan in the center of the crowd in a corner, and her eyes were very envious......

I'll just ...... I was reminded of myself when I was a child......"

Well?

Zhou Xuan frowned.

The answer came from his surprise.

After thinking for a while, he understood what Zhou Xuan meant.

"Is it because of the same experience?"

Zhou Xuan and Cai Yao have nothing in common.

The only thing that can be said to be similar is that Zhou Yu and Cai Yong both have a very good brother or sister.

"Is it in Cai Yao's body, do you see yourself who used to envy and be lonely?"

Zhou Xuan's brows furrowed.

He didn't even know that Zhou Yu had even had such an idea.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"It seems that my brother is doing something incompetent......"
