Wang Chang and Yuan Ba were silent when they heard this. Ordinarily, if the Han Dynasty knew that the matter had reached this stage, they should never allow the Yang family, headed by Yang Zhong, to do this.
But if you think about it carefully, if the Han Dynasty really didn't know, then it would be a bit too underestimated. The Yang family may be able to hide it from most aristocratic families for a while, but the Yang family definitely cannot hide it from the Han Dynasty.
"I don't care." Yang Zhong gave the answer. "When we went to Datong to dig, the success was beyond imagination. From that time on, I felt that this matter was tacitly approved."
"Is there no possibility that the Han Dynasty was really negligent?" Yuan Ba asked, and Wang Chang had already inferred the logic behind Yang Zhong's words.
"There is no such possibility." Wang Chang replied on behalf of Yang Zhong, "Do you think we are the winners? No, we are the losers."
Yes, the Han family has indeed obtained benefits far beyond what they once had in this era, and even got the opportunity to return to their roots and become a noble of the Qin and Han Dynasties again, with the power to trample on rules and laws, but in essence they are indeed losers.
It's just that Chen Xi gave them some dignity.
"The gap between us and the Han Dynasty has not only not narrowed over the years, but has actually expanded. If we say that in the first year of Yuanfeng, there were still major aristocratic families who joined forces to punish Chen Hou and relied on destroying the Central Plains.
This last resort may force Chen Hou to compromise, so now..." Yang Zhong looked at Yuan Ba calmly and said, "You try."
It is no joke to die if you try. Now even if all the famous families in the world join forces, including the Yuan family in Runan, the Cao family in Chenliu, and the Sun family in Jiangdong, except for the Sun family, which can rely on the ocean to support itself, the others are all
If it doesn't last a year, it will be completely destroyed.
To a certain extent, Yuan Fengchao's efforts over the years at least ensured that the Han Dynasty could still operate after breaking away from these aristocratic families. Even if there would be instability problems, it would not be the same as before without the aristocratic families.
The situation where both are unable to operate is completely different.
What can and cannot be is a fatal dividing line.
"The gap has become even bigger. Sometimes I even doubt whether we have 20% of the size of the Han Empire now." Yang Zhong looked at Yuan Ba's dignified expression and said with a faint smile.
You must know that during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, the Han family still controlled at least 90% of the country's power and more than 80% of the wealth. As a result, in just ten years, Chen Xi suppressed this data bit by bit to a relatively reasonable level.
level, the situation that was originally almost unbalanced has developed towards the dynamic balance that Chen Xi agrees with, and now the suppression of the aristocratic family has basically been completed.
Of course, even if Chen Xi had achieved this step, he also knew that some of his early actions had caused him to lose to the family bosses headed by the dead Xun Shuang in terms of long-term planning.
Education has been clearly under Chen Xi's name since the fifth year of Yuanfeng, but one thing cannot be changed no matter what, that is, the teachers are basically from major aristocratic families. This is something Chen Xi has been unable to reverse, and with the system
It is very stable and this kind of penetration is difficult to remove.
It can be said that the big guys from aristocratic families who played chess with Chen Xi in the early years, after losing most of their chips, still retained a base area that Chen Xi had trouble handling.
More importantly, in this place, Chen Xi has to be given dignity, and it is unusual dignity, because even if the members of the education system have some conceptual conflicts with Chen Xi, their behavior is basically the same.
It is good.
Not to mention those famous scholars all over the world, take Li Ren who teaches in Hanzhong as an example. This person often scolded Chen Xi for forcibly promoting education as a nonsense.
But Li Ren really didn’t think that education shouldn’t be promoted. On the contrary, he really taught education in Hanzhong. He not only taught literacy and reading and writing, but also taught a lot of truths to the people, allowing them to systematically understand the nature of the world.
The most basic principle is to avoid being fooled or deceived by others. This is a truly good teacher. The reason why he turned against Chen Xi in the first place was that Chen Xi's teachers were simply not qualified!
Even at that time, Li Ren believed that such forced promotion would lead to problems such as the corruption of teacher ethics and mediocre teachers harming people. Moreover, after more than ten years of turbulence, the children of aristocratic families who remained in the education system were basically the elite among the elite.
, he is the kind of good teacher who teaches and educates people with a hard-working attitude.
These good teachers who are able to do this are basically the children of aristocratic families with excellent moral character and ability, who have no sectarian views and do not pay attention to their origins.
That's right, the biggest problem is here, these are all sons of aristocratic families, all of them.
So even if they put aside their scholasticism and just want to teach and educate people, they will still be a shining business card for each family. Especially for those backward students, they will naturally be close to those good teachers. It goes without saying what this means.
Metaphor.
This is also the most helpless point for Chen Xi. It is also the reason why Xun Shuang and others took the initiative to open up family education and promote comprehensive education. Chen Xi will win sooner or later in other aspects, but as long as education is still controlled by them, with good luck, they can still make a comeback.
Even if they have bad luck, they can still retain their most basic influence.
What's more important is that as long as you hold this hand of cards and don't make any mistakes, even a heavenly being like Chen Xi, who is now clearly invincible, actually has no good solution.
Yang Zhong didn't understand this five years ago, but with the current situation, Yang Zhong can only say that the gods of his generation are indeed far-sighted, knowing that all of them combined can't defeat Chen Xi, and directly plan the future, so that even if
No matter how badly you lose now, at least you won't be eliminated.
How can I put it, Yang Zhong's idea is okay, but Yang Zhong overestimated those wise men of his generation represented by Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, Chen Ji, Wang Lie, etc., who really followed Chen Xi's opinions to layout education and control education.
Pushed, but they never thought that they would lose to this extent in such a short period of time. When the Yecheng aristocratic families formed an alliance, they thought they could restrain Chen Xi and share the world!
As a result, in the 23rd year of Yuanfeng, Xun Shuang and Sima Jun began to build momentum for Chen Xi, saying that "the saint came out in five hundred years, Haiyan and the river were clear, and Chen Zichuan was the solitary moon in the sky."
The control ability has been greatly reduced. This is the rhythm of losing.
Chen Xi was noncommittal about this evaluation. At least Chen Xi has never mentioned this sentence until now, but you can pass it on, I don't care, I just operate like this, and I will see what tricks you can do.
That's right, when Chen Xi was in Yuanfeng's second or third year, I would help you to do whatever fancy things you wanted to do, and I would make them happen for you. I'll see if you have the inclination to continue to do them later.
There is no way, human imagination must rely on reality after all, and the ultimate level that can be imagined in the feudal era is there.
The outrageous degree of industrialization is that the output of an industrial country in one year directly shatters the accumulation of thousands of years in the feudal era, and further develops into a deeply industrialized country. After industrialization reaches a certain level, an ordinary person can enjoy
The level of living standards directly killed everyone in the feudal era except for the small group of people at the top of the feudal era.
Even further, industrialization can even be promoted to a level that allows an ordinary person to transcend the top of the feudal era. This is the iteration of technology and civilization.
At that time, Chen Xi held this idea in mind and was promoting all walks of life. Although it would not advance technology to such a terrifying level, thanks to the vast land and abundant resources, as long as some small problems were solved, the living standards of the people could be improved explosively.
Since Chen Xi also belongs to an aristocratic family, even if those aristocratic families want to do tricks, they won't do anything so outrageous that they can tell at a glance that it is script-level stuff, so they can only be promoted at a practical level, and
This is the level that Chen Xi can truly achieve.
This caused Xun Shuang and others to create momentum and brag, but Chen Xi helped him realize it one by one.
Just like when he played chess with Jushou at Nanpi City, the momentum and boasts that Jushou created for Chen Xi were turned into reality one by one by Chen Xi, so much so that after Jushou's death, many people believed that Jushou was indeed capable.
His vision is able to see through the fog of history, and the officials of the Yuan family are really smart. They all know that Chen Xi is so wild, and yet he dares to stand up to him, which is really impressive.
In fact, no matter Jushou, Xun Shuang, or Sima Jun, they never thought that Chen Xi would be that strong. They thought it was something to be praised, but Chen Xi realized it for him one by one. There was no way.
After playing, it's not that Chen Xi doesn't take the moves, it's that they can no longer understand Chen Xi's moves.
Xun Shuang was also a talented man. After realizing this, he decisively surrendered, and it was a comprehensive surrender. This was also the reason why Yang Zhonghui refuted it during the court meeting in the fifth year of Yuanfeng.
In fact, Chen Xi realized afterward that among the group of people, Yang Zhong was not the only one who regarded all people as human beings. Chen Xun, Sima and others also agreed with Yang Zhong's judgment. However, they actually had no choice. If they did not surrender in full, they might surrender later.
It was too late. They had lost too many things in the first five-year plan without even realizing it.
It can be said that the scene between Lu Su and Chen Xi in the eighth year of Yuanfeng was inevitable.
Even after Lu Su was exiled and Li You investigated various things, he indirectly told Chen Xi that those who committed suicide led by Xun Shuang probably knew what Lu Su would do before Lu Su took action.
To be honest, everyone thinks that they just did what they wanted to do and were willing to pay the price.
After all, someone needs to bear the responsibility for the losses caused by total surrender. When Chen Xi returned from the Ganges, Yuan Fengnian's second plan was almost at the time of accounting. The output brought by the second five-year plan,
It was enough to increase the proportion of major aristocratic families in the Han Empire to about 20%.
In this case, it is better to be dignified. At the very least, when Chen Xi shows his cards, the heads of the major families will also know that the older generation has really tried their best. They have been buried for two years, and even made peace with them for this.
Chen Xi tried his best, but although he was defeated again, this was due to lack of strength, not giving up. If nothing else, he still had his backbone.
As a person involved, Yang Zhong knew much more than Wang Chang and Yuan Ba. Even if he didn't turn around at the time and took the lead in rebutting Chen Xi with reason and evidence, Yang Zhong was not a fool. Afterwards, he still didn't understand that he was being manipulated by Chen Xi.
Are those two groups of people from Xun Shuang acting as gunmen?
After having such a realization, Yang Zhong realized that there were some things that Chen Xi didn't know, but that Chen Xi turned a blind eye to.
Therefore, facing Wang Chang and Yuan Ba, Yang Zhong laughed directly, who do you look down on? We have all lost to this point, and we still have the nerve to think that Chen Xi knows nothing?
Are you kidding me? I doubt that there is no one in this world that Chen Zichuan doesn’t know. It’s only whether he wants to know or not. Really, we are the only ones who know nothing.
"Do you understand?" Yang Zhong asked calmly.
"Uncle Clan came back from attending the meeting and didn't seem to say anything." Wang Chang replied with a frown.
"That's because your uncle knows what to do." Yang Zhong said with a sneer. At that time, the Taiyuan Wang family directly said in the small group, "We have no one." This answer is an unanswerable answer, because this answer agrees with Chen Xi, but it also
He threw away reality and blackmailed other families.
Therefore, when Xun Shuang and others mobilized their connections to cause trouble, the Wang family and the Yang family were able to stay out of the matter.
"Forget it, you just need to know that the fact that we were able to dig out King Xiang was approved by the Han Dynasty, or even by the Marquis of Chen." Yang Zhong was helpless and didn't want to say anything more to these two people.
In Chang'an, Chen Xi received a secret message from Congling not long after Yuan Wang Yang and his family sent a large-scale main force to Africa.
"Fengxiao!" Chen Xi looked directly at Guo Jia after reading, his voice even louder, "Do you know what you did?"
"I don't know. Besides, even if you know, it doesn't stop you from asking." Guo Jia said calmly, without any panic, and even slightly choked Chen Xi.
"Look at what you've done." Chen Xi handed the secret letter from Kuai Yue directly to Guo Jia. Guo Jia looked at it and put the secret letter aside.
"What else do you have to say?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia with a headache and said.
"Isn't this matter Gui Wenhe Guan?" Guo Jia threw the blame without restraint. This matter was thrown out during the period when he and Jia Xu handed over the pot. The top and bottom were non-stick pans.
"Didn't I warn Wen He not to have any plans for Datong?" Chen Xi said with an aggrieved look, "Why did you dig him out with your backhand?"
"It's not us, it's the Yang family. And I looked at the three families involved in the Persian Gulf. I think this is what you did. You deliberately put pressure on those three families." Guo Jia quickly handed the shit basin to Chen Xi.
, "If the Zhang family in Hanoi hadn't been under great pressure, they would never have dared to make peace with the Yang family on this matter. And without the cooperation of these three families, the Yang family would not have dared to do it. You are the black hand behind everything."
