After listening to Yuan Shu's explanation, Tian Feng's face became even paler.

Is it possible that the curse of the aristocratic family cannot be broken?

Seeing Tian Feng's dream shattered, Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear it.

After taking a closer look at the dark green halo on Tian Feng's head, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and decided to tell this counselor who came from a poor family and was known for his strength and loyalty in history all of his plans.

"Actually, the family matter is not unsolvable."

Yuan Shu said solemnly.

Tian Feng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, staring at Yuan Shu with wide eyes: "Please, my lord, help Feng clear up his doubts!"

"The aristocratic family is too strong, and the poor family is also the potential strength of the aristocratic family. We can't use the poor family to fight against the aristocratic family, so there are only three ways."

"First, completely eradicate the family. This method is of course not advisable, and Yuan Hao must also understand the reason."

"Second, weaken the family."

Having said this, Yuan Shu straightened his body: "The control of knowledge alone is not enough to subvert and destroy this country. The reason why the aristocratic family is powerful is that they also control the land and population. The population here is the black people they hide. Hukou, domestic slaves and tenants.”

"If the aristocratic family does not have these people and land, the ruler only needs to control the army and land, and the aristocratic family will basically not be able to cause any big trouble."

After controlling the land, as long as most of the people can survive, who is willing to follow in the rebellion?

Once they control the army, the family can at most dare to act in both positive and negative ways, and they won't be able to cause much trouble.

Think about modern society. Everyone has enough to eat and drink, and everyone wants to live a better life. How can anyone dare to think about other things?

Yuan Shu wanted to reposition the aristocratic families of this era into a class similar to modern businessmen.

You can control important social resources and knowledge, but you cannot completely monopolize it.

You can manage countless employees and control their futures, but you cannot control their life and death.

You can do anything, but you never dare to openly break the law, let alone compete with the country.

If the land is not controlled by aristocratic families and the population is tightly restricted, then no matter how influential the aristocratic families are, they will not shake the foundation of a dynasty.

Of course Tian Feng also understands this truth and can think of this method, but is this possible?

To deprive aristocratic families of the land and population they depend on for survival is basically to go against the entire aristocratic family class.

Become the enemy of the entire family!

How can this be?

This is basically an enemy to the entire world!

In fact, if Yuan Shu did not have such an incredible talent, he would not dare to think about this problem.

In other words, even if you want to do this, you will do it after you unify the world, or leave it to future generations.

However, with such a heaven-defying talent, Yuan Shu felt that he would still be able to do it as long as he was a little more humble in the early stage.

It is much easier to re-cultivate a healthy small tree and grow it than to heal a large tree that is completely rotten from roots to leaves.

After the world is unified, new interest groups will be formed, and changing them at that time will be far more difficult than unifying this troubled world.

Therefore, Yuan Shu decided to do it once and for all, pruning the family from the beginning, straightening the sapling, and cultivating it carefully.

However, facing a behemoth like the Aristocratic Family, Yuan Shu did not dare to completely turn his back at first.

In the early stage, we still need to slow them down and leave some leeway, at least until they unify the south before officially turning against them.

By then, if Yuan Shu can withstand the first wave of crazy counterattacks from the family, it will basically be a success.

These ideas are too crazy. If Tian Feng was not from a poor family and was very loyal, Yuan Shu would not speak.

Just like Xun You, even though he was someone he trusted very much, Yuan Shu still did not dare to say a word to him because of his status as a descendant of an aristocratic family.

He just pretended to get rid of the shackles of the Yuan family, reduce the influence of the family, and cover up his intention to subvert the family.

Although it is said that all talents in this era come from aristocratic families and poor families, and poor families are also part of the strength of aristocratic families.

Without the famous family, Yuan Shu would not be able to manage the entire country.

But what Yuan Shu wanted to do was to subvert and change the family, not just destroy it.

The aristocratic family also knows its own shortcomings, and there must be some knowledgeable people among them who will understand, understand and support their own reforms.

And for most poor families, to put it bluntly, if you have breasts, you are a mother.

It is impossible for all poor families to become aristocratic families. In fact, 10 out of 10 poor families have no hope of becoming aristocratic families.

As long as you stand up and give enough benefits, it won't be too easy to get these people to switch sides.

As for Tian Feng, a visionary and top talent from a poor family, he would naturally support Yuan Shu's reform that would benefit the future.

However, for the sake of safety, Yuan Shu would not move too violently.

When boiling a frog in warm water, the best way is to cook slowly.

Cutting flesh with a dull knife, gradually weakening the family and strengthening itself, until it is able to protect itself and then strikes with thunder.

Yuan Shu doesn't want to waste all his energy on these things. After all, the world is so big and there are countless countries waiting for him to conquer!

"If we deprive the aristocratic families of their land and population, then we can support the poor families. For example, we can change the existing imperial examination system and adopt the imperial examination system of selecting the best through examination. If this fails, we can open a college for the people and initially open up the people's wisdom. In this way

The aristocratic family will never be able to make trouble again."

Having said this, Yuan Shu paused: "As for the third method, I will tell you when the time is right."

Suddenly, Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shu with a determined expression: "My lord has chosen Yangzhou, but want to try the second method?"

Yuan Shu smiled calmly: "That's right."

However, Tian Feng did not like to fight against terrorism: "My lord, please take back this idea!"

Yuan Shu felt warm in his heart and smiled even more: "Why?"

Tian Feng gritted his teeth: "Although Feng very much hopes that the lord can use the second method, Feng is responsible for the lord. As the lord's adviser, Feng cannot push the lord into a pit of fire for his own selfish reasons."

"My lord, you know better than anyone how powerful the family is. If my lord does this, I'm afraid the whole world will attack him. Not only will it be impossible to complete the reform, but my lord will not even have the chance to dominate the world. This matter cannot be rushed.

, it won’t be too late to do it after the lord has unified the world.”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Okay, Yuan Hao, you are indeed a loyal and steady person. I am so lucky to have your help!"

Then he slowly put away his smile: "Don't worry, Yuan Hao, if I am not sure about this matter, I will definitely not do it. I will naturally grasp the scale in the early stage and won't do it too obviously. However, this matter must be done no matter what.

Do it from the beginning. If you don't straighten a sapling, it will only grow and become crooked. In the end, you can't straighten it unless you cut down the entire tree."

Tian Feng still said worriedly: "But this move is too risky. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe!"

Yuan Shu stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the vast blue sky, and said calmly: "Some things must be tried by someone, even if they will break their heads and blood, and break their bones. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, for
