Chapter 2527: All sucks
If this were in the Central Plains, those who dared to do this would have been hung on the treetops and dried up long ago. Even if it was a royal family, even a tyrant, no one would dare to do this. If they don’t farm, they will not let others plant them and die!
As a result, in Kushan, the Brahmins, the mentally retarded, forced the lower castes to die. As a result, the lower castes really died. Sima Zhang had never seen such a ridiculous thing. "Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers have no seeds?" What about Chen Sheng of Kushan? Where is Wu Guang of Kushan? Go!
The garbage Kushan does not explain the system of visualization of gods and Buddhas, and the Brahmin system. It is better to send a concept back and let the big men in the Central Plains create it, than to spread this kind of disaster thought to the Central Plains.
This country is helpless. It can maintain its current size entirely because it is supported by the Ganges River and the plump Ganges River. This country will be the backbone of the empire by doing whatever it takes. But if the plump Ganges River is incorporated into the Han Dynasty, according to the level of the Han Dynasty, it may be able to support 300 million people!
In this feudal era where the whole world had only about 200 million people in total, a giant empire with 300 million people appeared. If I want to fight the whole world, I will still fight. That is really not something that cannot be done.
Therefore, after determining everything that the Kushan God and Buddha system relies on, Chen Zhong and others would rather destroy the God and Buddha system and force themselves to eat Kushan than leave a pit for the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that a country that had the potential to become a strong and invincible empire has become at this level now. Chen Zhong and his group of people are still somewhat conscientious.
Well, even if the conscience is shady, the benefits of exploiting 300 million people are far better than exploiting 20 million people. The former has one tenth of the tax per person, which is better than paying all the property of the latter.
In this era, or in any era, as long as there are enough resources, the more population the better, because the population represents the potential of this country. Just like in later generations, young people who graduated from higher education in a year have more population than those in countries ranked 100 after 100.
Do you think that in addition to cheating, those countries after 100 can surpass the former?
Of course, for ancient people like Sima Zhang, land is resources, and high-yield land is high-quality resources. These resources are all for people. With more people, they are truly growing. What is the concept of 200 million people? Sima Zhang was so terrified that he thought about it!
If an empire with 200 million people is really created next to the Han Dynasty, the other party will probably lose ten times, and the Han Dynasty will have no choice but to deal with the other party. However, if such a potential place is played like this by the other party, Sima Zhang became disgusted with the entire Brahmin system.
This is a group of wild beasts who do not know how to develop, do not know how to grow, and rely entirely on the heavens to make a living. If you can have the situation today, it can only be said that God takes too much care. As expected, we should do it.
Sima Zhang couldn't help but have a clear understanding of Li You's words, "If you live for a lifetime, you need to leave something. God will not give me, I will take my own choice, who dares to stop me?" As expected, God will not give me, so let us do it ourselves. If you dare to stop me, you will beat you up!
In short, although these three families who have gone abroad do not think they are good people, compared with Brahmins, these aristocratic families represented by the Chen family and Xun family are relatively somewhat honest.
At least this group of people cannot do it at all. If you have fertile land, you don’t have anyone to plant it, and you won’t rent it to others. You would rather waste such things.
Of course, after talking about the disgust, I have to talk about the other hand. After all, even a piece of toilet paper and a used oil pen have their own value, and garbage is a treasure placed in the wrong place. In the eyes of this group of people, this Brahmin system also has to admire it.
Even the Sima family, Chen family, and Xun family have to admire the stability of the Brahmin system. No matter what method is used, it is a skill to domesticate the lower-level people like animals.
Even if this method is evil in their opinion, in terms of the stability of the social system, this fact must be recognized, that is, the Brahmin social system does have its own excellent side.
What's more, if you don't care about the life or death of the lower class and only care about the enjoyment of the upper class aristocrats, this system is a lifestyle of enjoyment for the corrupt upper class, because under this system, the upper class of the Kushans do not have to worry about the rebellion that will occur in other systems.
If the Han family had not yet become a shattering family, the wealthy family with the Legal foundation, such as the Xun family, would have been very disgusted with this unmotivated social system. If they really had to be placed under the aristocratic situation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they might have begun to learn this way of corrupting society.
After all, even the knowledgeable Xun Qi, Sima Zhang and Chen Zhong had to be convinced when facing the stable social system of Kushan. As for the Kushan situation in this situation, if it were placed in the Han Dynasty, there would have been wars everywhere.
However, although there are turmoil in Kushan now, it is clearly the result of the uneven distribution of spoils at the upper level, rather than the lower level people who cannot survive and rise up.
If this happened in the Central Plains, people were starved to death, and those who were starved to death on a large scale were not in charge, it would have been a place where they would have killed officials and revolt. However, most of the hungry people in the Kushan area were waiting to die safely, and Chen Zhong and others were also eye-opening.
This kind of ruling ability is very good for the upper class who is not enterprising. There is no need to even say the famous saying of "If you don't be a starving mantis, you will still be like the mantis in the thrust arm". Those people at the bottom will obediently obey the command and wait for death.
The three families did not mention this on the surface, but they had already made plans in mind.
After all, these three families are gentle and elegant on the surface, and are essentially all rude and powerful families. They can criticize this system on the surface, but in fact they all put some energy, manpower and material resources to systematically study this system.
Although this system has various obvious flaws, which greatly suppresses the thinking, wisdom, cognition and consciousness of the people at the bottom, and is also extremely harmful to the progress of the country, its stable social system can still be used in some places.
Even if it cannot be used for one's own people, for the Han Dynasty, which is basically destined to embark on the road of closure, the Kushan method that uses a few people to rule the majority is very valuable for reference.
However, this kind of research cannot be made public at all. Even if the three companies know that the other party is definitely learning from and researching, the three companies will not expose the fact that the other party is studying this system on the surface. If you see through it or not, you will be able to do it.
The Han Dynasty would not allow such things to exist. What Chen Xi wanted was not class solidification. The lower class must have a stable and reliable path to promotion.
Even if you reach the official position after reaching the Central Committee of 2,000 stones, you will encounter the invisible ceiling, and it will take the efforts of a generation or even several generations to break through. Chen Xi can accept it, but before that, the road to promotion must be very clear and very reliable.
As for what it means to be a slave and to be a slave for generations, Chen Xi does not allow it at all. Of course, when he encounters a person who is a slave or a maid who is too shameless to be a noble family and must kneel down. Chen Xi has no choice but to do anything about this. What do you like? What do you think? He can't control it!
For our own tribe, not to mention the fact that it is slavery for generations, even if it is class solidification, Chen Xi is working hard to break it. While reducing his influence on the national system as much as possible, he is also reducing the proportion of aristocratic families in this country.
Perhaps the major aristocratic families may not have noticed that their authority was lost before, but now, because the domestic melee has stopped fighting and entered a stage of rapid development, the major aristocratic families have gradually discovered this fact, the economy, officialdom and local areas are weakening.
More importantly, it is not that they have not increased, but that this country has grown too fast, so fast that the tentacles of the aristocratic families have not had time to penetrate. This cake called interest has become so big that they can't swallow it quickly as before.
The strong foundation of the aristocratic family allows them to eat more, but they can't change it anyway. The people, who originally had a very low share, are expanding at an astonishing rate.
Especially after the merger of villages and villages, even Chen Xi could not forcibly abolish the debt receipts and tenant documents signed by the people from all over the country and their local aristocratic families, as well as other miscellaneous things.
But at least Chen Xi relied on the previous replacement to move the aristocratic family together, and then relied on the reclaimed land to gather all the people together.
After that, various technologies and materials were invested in, such as oxen, farm tools, technicians, and land, which were rented to the people at low taxes.
In addition, although Chen Xi's face cannot allow the aristocratic family to waive the debts and rent documents, at least with Chen Xi's endorsement, the aristocratic family cannot really continue to make profits.
In other words, the things you owe should still be paid back, but the interest after Chen Xi's existence is considered exempted, and Chen Xi endorses, these debts and loan notes can be extended for a very long time.
However, according to Chen Xi's estimate, even if he did this level, the aristocratic families stopped the illegal methods of sealing money in later generations. According to Chen Xi's average debt statistics from Liu Ye, most people may have to work for those aristocratic families for ten years.
From this aspect, what later generations said, in some cases in the feudal era, when civilians worked hard for a lifetime, the more they owe, the more they owed, it was not a joke, and it was also enough to see the nature of cannibalism in this era, but Chen Xi had nothing to say about this.
