Three Kingdoms: I Am Not an Ant Thief Chapter 680, Qualitative
These people really can't refute Xu Wei's words. In addition to their status as scholars, they also have the status of noble nobles. Lei Gong said a few years ago that the world is in chaos, and noble nobles like them have to bear the main responsibility.
, and now Lei Gong punishes them by depriving them of becoming officials.
When Cai Yong heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Since the ruler has conquered the world, he should have the capacity of the sea and the rivers. We have already paid the price for what happened back then, so why should the ruler hold on to it?"
Xu Wei said firmly: "It's not that I'm holding you back, but that the price you paid is not enough to repay your sins, and the people are unwilling to forgive you.
Back then, you annexed the land and forced the people to be displaced and had no choice but to rebel and survive. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, you not only failed to reflect on it, but instead used cruel methods to suppress the people. Hundreds of thousands of people were massacred, and the people forged the capital.
By threatening the people, millions of people have died in Jizhou alone, and tens of millions of people have died in the whole world because of you. How can such a huge crime be let go so easily, and the world is in chaos for a noble family."
Cai Yong was unconvinced and said: "When the world was in chaos, we tried our best to stabilize the world, but it was not as expected. We tried hard, but our abilities were not as good as those in power. The power was too harsh to blame us for all these sins.
We are."
Xu Wei smiled and said: "I know there are many people in the Han Dynasty who work hard, like Liu Yu, the first neighbor of the Daqian Dynasty. He built up the border and cultivated the land. In just a few years, the population of Youzhou increased by one million, not to mention the food supply.
The price has also dropped to 30 qian. Such a price has appeared in the best days of the Han Dynasty! Huangfu Song, Liu Bei, and even Dong Zhuo of Jizhou are all thinking of ways to extend the life of the Han Dynasty!"
"But these few people cannot represent the entire Han gentry. In fact, 99% of the Han gentry, even after the Yellow Turban Uprising, discovered that the Han court's control over local areas had weakened. Instead, they desperately tried to annex land.
It is because of their efforts that three million-person uprisings broke out in Jizhou in just five years, resulting in the death of more than 4 million people in the entire Jizhou."
"It's not like you haven't discovered the crux of the Han Dynasty. Wang Fu wrote a book "Qianfu Lun" and had a very deep understanding of the problems that occurred in the Han Dynasty. He also mentioned the solutions, such as immigration to the border areas, land reclamation, and land equalization.
, but you didn’t do this!”
"Is there really no way to solve the problem of refugees in the Han Dynasty? The imperial court of the Han Dynasty only has tens of millions of households and a population of more than 50 million. However, it just so happens that I, Da Gan, now have more than ten million households and a population of close to 50 million. But not only do I, Da Gan, have no refugees
, On the contrary, there is a lack of population everywhere, and most of the reports on our desk are asking for population from the Daqian court."
"And the reason why there are no refugees in my country is because the land has been equalized. The land in the world has finally returned to the hands of the farmers, and the people can finally have enough to eat.
You Han people are benevolent and righteous, but the people can't survive in the Han Dynasty, but the people can't survive in the Han Dynasty. But I, the Daqian, can get three out of ten, but the people can live a prosperous life. Isn't this because of the presence of noble nobles like you!
"
"If the world were still the Han's, and you had equalized the land, the people could live, and the Han's noble families could still be prosperous and wealthy. But you didn't do this. Instead, we Daqian brought the people back to take back their own fields. Then you don't want to It's your fault that the people are suppressing you now. When you were in power, you were unwilling to make any concessions to the people. But now that the people in Daqian are strong, don't blame the people for suppressing you!"
"As long as the world is still under the rule of Da Qian, it will be impossible for the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty to come forward. This is the price they pay for killing tens of millions of people."
When Xu Wei said this, Cai Yong and others became darkened. Zhao Qi, Cai Yong and others have all become high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty. Of course they know how to deal with the refugees. "Qianfu Lun" all mentioned the methods, but They can't do anything about it, let alone the equalization of land. Even if they say it, even if they say it, they will be criticized by the world's nobles and nobles.
The equalization of fields was not invented by Lei Gong. Wang Mang of the new dynasty used Lei Gong's current method. However, Wang Mang among them failed, but Lei Gong succeeded by relying on the people!
Other settlements and settlements not only cost a lot of money, but were also easily annexed by local noble families.
In the last years of the Han Dynasty, the grassroots level was almost paralyzed, and it was difficult to carry out such projects. Even if the Han Dynasty had money to cultivate land, 90% of it would be embezzled. The corrupt officials of the Han Dynasty did not even dare to provide relief funds to the victims. They were corrupt, and they did it when Lei Gong, Zhang Yan, and the Xiliang rebellion were all growing. These corrupt officials no longer cared that after they were corrupt, they would be hacked to death by millions of victims. In this case, the Han Dynasty court Whatever you want to do, you can't do it under the pull of these corrupt officials!
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with more sounds.
Xu Wei's words shocked the great scholars here and left them speechless. Lei Gong clearly identified them as a noble family. It would be difficult for their family to get ahead in Daqian, at least before the destruction of Daqian. In this way, many people even fainted and couldn't bear the blow.
Cai Yong thought for a while and said seriously: "I can't refute what the governor said, but Confucianism has been in power for hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty and has created a prosperous age for the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. If you don't use Confucianism now, I think this is very inappropriate."
Xu Wei asked back: "How many of the six Confucian arts are you proficient in?"
Xu Wei's mocking words made Cai Yong blush. Although he was a great Confucian and among the six Confucian arts of etiquette, music, and calligraphy, he could be considered a master in the world, but he had never learned the reckless ways of archery and imperialism. He is not very proficient at all. He has not learned half of the six Confucian arts. From this aspect, he is not worthy of the name of a great Confucian!
But Cai Yong soon recovered and said: "In power, Confucianism talks about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. This is the basis for the stability of the world. Without our Confucianism, the world would have been divided into the Warring States and the Troubled Times. How could the world be as one family now?" People’s hearts!”
"At this time, Da Qian's thoughts were extremely confused. Of course, there is nothing to be seen now that there is a hero like the leader in power. But after taking power, if Da Qian does not have a hero, the world will definitely fall apart!"
"This is the contribution of Confucianism!" Xu Wei nodded affirmatively at this point. Even in later generations, everyone affirms the contribution of Confucianism to the unification of the world. The West does not have a unified idea. Throughout their thousands of years of history, they have always
