Chapter 307 Even if you don't use it, you have to keep it by your side
After Liu Xie saw Sima Yi's article, he could only say that he was completely stunned.
If we say, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu persuaded Liu Xie to use the family, and then use the power of the family to dominate the world.
Then Sima Yi's attitude was completely opposite. He hoped that Liu Xie could abandon the humble family and reuse the aristocratic family.
This set of facts has been confirmed by his ancestor, Emperor Guangwu.
He who wins the hearts of the noble families in the world will win the world.
However, this is absolutely not possible for Liu Xie.
The inherent limitations of the aristocratic family destined it to be eradicated by Liu Xie.
Because if you don't eradicate the aristocratic family, you will be the unlucky one. Therefore, Liu Xie does not intend to use this strategy.
Seeing this, Liu Xie had to sigh with emotion. Sima Yi was worthy of representing the interests of the aristocratic family. He was really seeking benefits for the aristocratic family in every aspect.
However, Liu Xie did not say that just because Sima Yi's previous strategy was not in line with his wishes, he would not give him any chance.
In Liu Xie's view, Sima Yi could not be retained, but that did not mean that Liu Xie could not use him.
After all, Sima Yi was very good in both strategy and command. After the rebellion within the Han Dynasty subsided, he had to embark on the path of external expansion.
A general with strategy and command will definitely be of decisive benefit to foreign expansion.
As for whether Sima Yi will come back to bite him in the end, Liu Xie feels that it is not too early to define it.
First of all, Sima Yi is only 18 years old now, so he is still young. Although he is an adult, it does not mean that he cannot change his mind.
Moreover, let's just say that the reason why these aristocratic families want to control the emperor is actually because they are short-sighted.
In their eyes, the Han Dynasty only had one-third of an acre of land. In order to compete for resources, they could only control the emperor.
Then he would use the emperor to give some privileges to the famous family and develop his own family.
But what if, let’s just say that we can guide the aristocratic families a little bit and adopt the model of the Three Island Kingdom in later generations.
Let the imperial court take the lead, let all the aristocratic families participate, and then deprive them of their privileges within the Han Dynasty, and instead give the aristocratic families some privileges in external affairs?
In other words, to put it more bluntly, it is to take back the natural participation rights of the aristocratic families. If they want to become an official, give them a way to take the imperial examination.
This can prevent some people without real talents from remaining in power.
Overseas, some privileges are given to aristocratic families, such as the right to form a bodyguard.
Further restrictions are imposed on the aristocratic families, requiring them to separate their families when they reach adulthood, regardless of whether they are descendants or concubines.
But after the separation, they were allowed to form new families and participate in foreign affairs.
But! For such a family, the main body of the family must stay within the territory of the Han Dynasty. And a method of tax collection of one out of ten is adopted for them, and every three years, all members must be registered, otherwise the entire family will be considered to be suspected of rebellion.
, all privileges will be revoked.
In this way, the aristocratic families had a new goal and no longer had to think about how to compete with the emperor for power every day.
Second, in this era, no matter how you say it, the aristocratic family is a force that cannot be ignored. However, their ambitions are too great, and the Han Dynasty's three-acre land cannot meet their family's survival needs.
But what if we look at the entire continent? Eurasia and Africa are not enough, so what about the American continent?
Not to mention the current Han family, even if it were ten times larger, it would still be enough.
However, if we continue to expand in this way, we only need to consider one issue, which is whether the aristocratic families will develop new separatist intentions in overseas areas.
In this regard, the three-island country set a good example for the Han Dynasty.
It's enough to use the role of a governor to guard overseas affairs, and then use the family's escorts as a means of suppression.
Moreover, in this way, those slanderous Confucians would also have a good place to go and educate all the people. This would prevent them from doing things like only respecting Confucianism every day in the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Liu Xie did this without even thinking of an excuse. After all, Master Kong had already thought of it for him.
Internally, the imperial court required that the families of aristocratic families must be separated when their heirs reach adulthood. This was imitated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favor order.
This may not be so friendly to the main line of the aristocratic family, but for the children who were born as common people, it is great news.
After all, in this era, there is a distinction between direct descendants and concubines, and all the wealth of a family can only be inherited by the eldest son.
It can be said that the other concubine children are not much higher than those servants within the family. It can be said that they have no status at all.
If Liu Xie's method is followed, then these children of common people can also make a difference.
It can be said that Liu Xie's move will definitely be supported by this group of people.
This is also destined to result in a large number of desperate children from common people and aristocratic families, leaving their original aristocratic families.
After leaving home, they had no foundation at first and could only rely on the court.
Moreover, Liu Xie can also obtain a large number of talents to enrich the Han Dynasty.
It is also worth mentioning that Liu Xie deprived the aristocratic families of their natural rights to participate and forced them to take the imperial examination. This fundamentally restricted the rights of the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it is really a good move to kill multiple birds with one stone.
However, this does not mean that these measures have no shortcomings at all. The simplest point is that the Han Dynasty has strengthened its control over the family.
Whether it is asking for the separation of the family, requiring a 10% tax cut for the family to operate overseas, or depriving them of the right to participate, it actually strengthens the court's control over the family.
This is not good news for the aristocratic family.
But Liu Xie was not going to give in. In his words, he had to follow his rules or die.
You have the player as your trump card in your hand, and you are not afraid of any challenge if you keep it.
If it were not for worry, such internal fighting would allow the big man to consume his own strength and delay his external expansion.
I guess Liu Xie would have flipped the table over by now.
What are you afraid of? No matter how many noble families and princes there are, can they outnumber the players?
Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt confident and had a smile on his face.
Ji Huai on the side looked at Liu Xie who was enjoying himself there, and he was confused for a moment.
"The Emperor laughs after reading this scholar's article. Could it be that the article written by this scholar has touched His Majesty's heart?"
"It seems that the Za family should be more polite when they see that scholar in the future. This person will definitely fly high in the future." Ji Huai looked at Liu Xie, but he was thinking about another thing.
Liu Xie looked at Sima Yi's subsequent discussion. Although it was also very exciting, his core still was that he hoped Liu Xie would reuse the power of the family.
Liu Xie showed no interest in relying on the noble family to suppress the rebellion of the princes.
There is no way, this Sima Yi is wrong from the starting point, how can he be favored by keeping him?
However, Liu Xie didn't mean that he just wanted to take down Sima Yi.
Sima Yi is talented. If he is removed now, wouldn't he be forced to go to other princes?
Even if Liu Xie doesn't use Sima Yi, he can't let Sima Yi go to other princes.
