Chapter 2588: I’m like this, why are I still afraid of rebellion?
After this set of procedures, Chen Xi really didn't believe that the status of soldiers would drop. In the true sense, one person serving as a soldier would benefit the whole village, and there could be no village forcing people to serve as soldiers, because even if it was really to reduce the population
If you force others to serve as soldiers, why will they give you benefits when the time comes?
This trick is also a way to force incompetent villages to reduce their population as much as possible. It is impossible for Chen Xi to say this explicitly, nor to implement that method in this era, but he can still do it to restrain incompetent people from consuming more resources.
of.
If you don’t want everyone to live a hard life, you can estimate the population and lines yourself. I won’t explain it to you clearly, but it does exist. Because the population increases, life gradually becomes more and more difficult, especially when there are two nearby villages.
In comparative situations, without saying anything, people who want to live better will naturally exercise self-restraint.
Li You and Jia Xu are worthy of being the smartest people in the world. Although they didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, now that Chen Xi has made a start, they naturally recall those things that they didn't pay much attention to at that time and were not their tasks.
regulations, and soon discovered the clues.
However, these two guys didn't think there was anything wrong with this move. To put it bluntly, it was a variant of the Qin army's merit system. The Han family had used this move for four hundred years. Counting the time of the Qin Dynasty, it was more than six hundred years ago.
Well, it can be regarded as a test that has stood the test of history for a long time.
In addition, the three people present knew the biggest drawback of the Qin military merit and title system, that is, because of the existence of some cheating generals, and when the unification was successful, land would be awarded to the point where there was no land to be awarded, which would lead to the collapse of the country's credibility, and then
Problems like the whole country collapsing together.
Chen Xi's system can be regarded as retaining the advantages of the military merit and title system, and suppressing the possibility of granting land without land. But how to put it, everyone knows that as long as land granting is mentioned, there will be land granting.
The extent to which it can be granted.
Even if Chen Xi compresses this data to one-tenth, essentially it can only be said to be extending his life, rather than truly solving the problem.
To be precise, this kind of land granting that is linked to military merit has its own pitfalls, that is, for some commanders, I just won't lose, I will always win, no, I will always win. When facing such people,
, mathematical ratios directly lose their meaning. Facing such people, no matter how good your military merit and land conferment system is, it will be ruined.
"It's a fairly reliable system, and it can encourage people to move out." Li You said slowly after a while. Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't realize that it was stable. Sure enough, normal people in this era would never go there.
Think about the direction of limiting the population. No matter how high your intelligence is, it will be affected by the times and experience.
"Indeed, relatively speaking, it can also control the military merit title system." Jia Xu also nodded silently. Everyone knows that the military merit title system is reliable. With this system, the country can explode a combat effectiveness that far exceeds the normal level, but the disadvantages of this system are also
Equally obvious.
However, the courage to use this system was also carefully considered by Jia Xu and others. It is not a simple reversal of history. The current road of conquest is still very far from the end, so it is most reasonable to use the military merit system.
What's more, with the lessons learned from the Qin Dynasty, Jia Xu and others knew very well when and to what extent this system should be stopped. Therefore, although this move is dangerous, it will not directly lead to disaster like the Qin Dynasty did after unification.
Therefore, in the minds of Li You and Jia Xu, Chen Xi actually gave the country and the system they had prepared an insurance to avoid bad luck.
As for thinking more deeply about suppressing the population, Li You and Jia Xu really don't have this understanding. Having more children and grandchildren is the way the Chinese people have always thought. I want these two people to realize this.
One thing is to at least have an understanding of the population.
Chen Xi responded with a haha. Anyway, he would not say that he had drawn a line or set a ceiling. He would only use policies to guide and enforce execution. I'm sorry, even if the current Han Dynasty does have this kind of execution ability.
, Chen Xi will not stand on the opposite side of society.
He is not Li You, and there is no way to become Li You. After all, the reformists are not reformists, let alone revolutionaries. The former cherishes his life, while the latter can sacrifice himself for his ideals.
"Speaking of which, are you ready?" Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Jia Xu naturally changed the subject. The two of them brought Chen Xi here because they had some things to ask. Otherwise, there was no need to go out on a hot day.
The camp ran so far.
After all, Jia Xu controls the intelligence organization of the entire Central Plains. After the mobilization of the army, all material mobilization under Cao Sun was stalled by the aristocratic families. Jia Xu also received this not long ago. All the aristocratic families in the Central Plains exerted their efforts at the same time and stagnated.
Cao Sun's entire system.
"What are you ready for?" Chen Xi asked calmly, stepping forward naturally, then turned to look at Jia Xu and Li You, the three of them formed a horned opposition.
"The entire political system in the Central Plains has basically come to a standstill, and even our system has almost come to a standstill." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and said calmly, "You are the only one in the world who has such means, so I have to ask, although
I’ve already guessed most of the content.”
"Why are you so anxious? I don't remember Jia Wenhe and Li Wenru being so anxious. Do you think this scene looks good?" Chen Xi asked with a smile, "Isn't it very scary, having 70% of the official positions in the Central Plains?
The aristocratic families exerted their strength at the same time and stopped all material mobilization in an instant. If this was really a war, they would have been completely defeated."
"..." Li You said after a while, "The aristocratic family has long been defeated, but such unscrupulous behavior would never have occurred without your instruction, or without your presence. The aristocratic family cannot be united to this extent.
"
"So I did it." Chen Xi laughed loudly, "At least I want this battle to be recorded in the history of war forever, so that future generations will know what the consequences will be if any single class rules the country. It will also let
All historians and all high-level officials should remember that there is a big threat to the family. Even if this method can only be used once, it will definitely be remembered even if it is used once!"
"Let me tell you, Zichuan, your old Chen family should be blacklisted every day." Jia Xu frowned when he heard this, and then said with a sneer, "Businessmen are suppressed, and 70% of the blame is your family's ancestors.
In fact, in the future, the family will not be able to grow in the Central Plains, and 80% of the pot will be yours."
"Anyway, the Chen family has been on the blacklist of the family all year round. What's the point? What's more, I can incite these guys to do this because they are willing to jump into the water. Do you really think they are just incited by me and joking?" Chen Xi disdained.
He curled his lips and said, "The Chen family is 80% responsible for this. The Chen family doesn't care about this kind of blame. The benefits are enough. I will take the blame. Anyway, I won't die."
"Those guys are willing to join forces to do this. In fact, they have their own considerations, because if this knife is used, if nothing else, the people in power will always remember how big a threat the aristocratic family is. In this way, this wave of aristocratic families will run away, and the Central Plains will
I'm afraid I won't be able to grow into a noble family." Li You said slowly, "Let alone a noble family, I'm afraid it will become difficult for even the powerful."
"Yes, that's why I greeted them so that they would be willing to jump down and do this." Chen Xi sighed and said, "There should be no such minority class with inextricable connections in the future.
The situation is such that most of the country has power.”
"That's good, at least the upward passage is completely opened." Li You showed a rare smile. What he had always wanted to do was achieved by Chen Xi in this way.
"But in this case, there will probably be a competition between masters and apprentices, township parties, and schools of thought in the future." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Li You was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded silently, feeling that it made sense, "But even if it turns out to be like that, at least in terms of the upward path, it is much, much better than the current situation where the aristocratic family controls power."
"Anyway, I did what I was supposed to do. The family felt good before going abroad. They suppressed the Central Plains and let those local leopards who think they are good feel what it means to be a wealthy family. Hahaha, it's quite fun.
Pretty good." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, although I asked them to take action, I really don't know what the situation is like here."
"It's slightly better than Cao Sun. At least the single secret passage reserved by you has not been closed here. The power held by the family is indeed very great. Maybe it doesn't control the upper levels, but more than 70% of the middle and lower-level officials in this country
They are all closely related to the aristocratic family." Jia Xu nodded and said with emotion.
When Jia Xu received the news that Liu Bei's entire system had been manipulated, he was also shocked. At that time, he thought there was going to be a big chaos, and almost used secret guards to investigate the rebellion. Fortunately, Cao Sun's news came in time, and Jia Xu was also a wise man.
Be clear, otherwise it may be bad.
"I almost thought you were going to rebel." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and said, "If I didn't know your character well and had the ability to carefully investigate the overall situation, I would have thought you were rebelling. To be honest, the emergency meeting was not going to happen without me.
In your case, this is the first time that Wen Ru excludes you."
"I had a meeting with Mr. Xuande." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It looks scary, but Mr. Xuande is not suspicious at all."
"It is precisely because I know that my lord has the ability to clean the entire system that I can infer what you are doing." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and said, "I have to admire your courage."
"Because there is no other possibility." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "What's more, Duke Xuande also needs a reason, a reason not to reward everyone lavishly after unifying the world, and I also need an opportunity to purify the team.
, our team has already had too many opportunistic parties mixed in."
"Ten years to unify the world, and it's not the way of military unification. It's normal for this kind of situation to happen." Li You said with a sneer, "If you had told me to do this, it would never be as chaotic as it is now, and it would be even more chaotic.
Besides, if you want to unify the world and not give me a reward, it's just you, Chen Zichuan."
"It's not that we don't give rewards, but we don't want to reward them lavishly. It's not that simple to go abroad." Chen Xi said angrily, "You should be considerate of me. This method is already a very good result.
Already."
"This aspect is admitted." Jia Xu patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said, "The success is in the present, and the benefit will be in the future. It is a good method, leaving a shadow and cleaning the system, but do you know how dangerous it will be?
?”
"There is no danger," Chen Xi said with a smile, "As long as Mr. Xuande doesn't take action, the whole situation will go in the direction I predicted at the time."
"But, this is the best opportunity. The best opportunity is to hide the best opportunity." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and said, "There is no chance at other times. With your ability and your identity, it is impossible. Only with
This time, you are giving me instructions."
"Wen He, you are a minister and I am a friend, do you know why? The gap is here." Chen Xi said with a smile, Liu Bei will not do anything, because Chen Xi can give him so much, so much, without Chen Xi, Liu Bei will
The future you want to realize will become the moon in the well and the flower in the mirror.
Emperor, no, this position is very high, but for the current Liu Bei, it is actually within easy reach. Liu Bei's goal is no longer the emperor. He wants to be stronger. He wants to look around like Emperor Wu, without any enemies.
If you want to point your sword at the world, then ask if you are invincible in the world!
The spread of the world brings not only the understanding of the world, but also ambition. What can best tolerate the reckless behavior of wise men is always the ambition of their assistants. The greater their ambitions, the more difficult it is for those who really help them.
It is also more tolerant.
Liu Bei's heart is no longer in the Central Plains. This place with no single enemy is no longer Liu Bei's battlefield. The only opponent Liu Bei has chosen is the Empire, and Chen Xi's importance in this situation is self-evident.
It can be said that even if Liu Bei was not informed in advance, Liu Bei would not deal with Chen Xi, not to mention that Chen Xi had informed Liu Bei in advance. This kind of merit is in the contemporary era and will benefit the future. Even if it looks particularly dangerous, Liu Bei will be decisive.
Agreed.
There are so many advantages, but only two disadvantages. One is that Chen Xi may use this to kill Liu Bei, and the other is that Liu Bei may use this to kill Chen Xi. So what else is there to say? Liu Bei can trust Chen Xi, and Chen Xi can trust Liu Bei, so just do it.
Anyway, Liu Bei is not afraid. With his current ability, it is absolutely impossible for all the generals under his command to attack him. Even if some soldiers are really deceived by the family and think they are coming to serve the king, they are actually rebelling and killing him. As long as he appears there.
On the battlefield, Liu Bei was absolutely sure that as many people as you came across from me would switch sides.
I even know the subordinates of Du Bo under my command. Do you know what this means? To put it simply, if you randomly find a hundred reorganized soldiers, I will know at least two of them. They are all like this.
