Things often have two sides, and sometimes advantages can also be disadvantages, including but not limited to people. This duality can be clearly seen from the character and performance of children from wealthy families. Their advantages are great from another perspective.
shortcomings.
As a child of a wealthy family, there is a big gap in cultural knowledge compared with ordinary people from poor families. In the words of future generations, children of a wealthy family are ahead at the starting line.
They all live a comfortable life, and basically there is no lack of food or clothing. Sometimes they will ask why they should not eat minced meat. It is not a stupid question, but they have never experienced hunger and cold, and they have no idea.
What is it like to be short of food and clothing?
Also, as children of a wealthy family, it is impossible for them to be illiterate. They need to be enlightened at an early age. Later, they read many books and receive training in various aspects of life. In many cases, they are representatives of being knowledgeable and sensible.
They may not have been to many places, but they have read a lot of books. After reading thousands of books, they will read more than ordinary people from poor families and have a broader vision. This is the advantage of children from a wealthy family.
When children from wealthy families compare with ordinary people from poor families, they will find that they have many advantages and feel extremely attractive. In many cases, they are in the center.
These advantages allow them to reach higher positions faster, and their shortcomings are quickly exposed. This is because the children of wealthy families know how they win at the starting line.
That's because the family behind them is so powerful that they take a large part of the resources for themselves, giving them enough priority to keep their family members far ahead.
This also leads to a problem: after the children of aristocratic families become officials, when they deal with problems, they will not only consider whether it is beneficial to the court, but they will also consider whether they will damage the interests of their own family when dealing with problems.
Once the interests of his family are touched, he will definitely try his best to reduce the losses to his family. He would even rather let the court be imprisoned and the people suffer great losses than to prevent the interests of his family from being damaged.
This is the other side of the elegant and graceful children of aristocratic families. They don't care about other people's interests, life and death. Children of aristocratic families belong to the Tianlong class, which is what later generations will call the elite.
Although people from aristocratic families may not all be elites, and there will also be a certain number of dandies and losers, but as long as the family is still there, the lives of dandies and losers will not be bad, and they will definitely be much better off than ordinary people from poor families.
Therefore, in dynasties where the children of aristocratic families occupied more powerful positions, the reign of Guo Zuo did not last long, because the children of aristocratic families did not care who was the emperor, nor did they care about the lives of the people.
What they care about is the continuation of their own family. In this case, as the children of aristocratic families who account for the majority of the official class, as long as they have enough benefits, they will not think about how to improve the lives of more people.
Just like the thoughts of Li Erlang's wife, she is more concerned about her own situation and does not consider that her behavior will make other people's lives miserable, and she will not care in her eyes.
Even if I can sum up my previous life experience after doing it over again, I feel that the reason why I fell short is that my natal family is not strong enough, otherwise how could I dare to dismount?
Her obsession became to make her natal family more powerful so that Li Erlang would not dare to touch her, so that she could keep her position as his wife.
In order to achieve this goal, she jumped left and right on the edge of temptation again and again. In order to make her family stronger, she unscrupulously took credit from others, but Li Erlang, who was unaware, did not find the problem.
By the time the problem was discovered, it was already too late. The Zhao family had benefited a lot from the general's wife's operation, and had become even larger and more arrogant in these years. This was precisely because of the personal contribution of the general's wife, Zhao.
Her demonstration made other wealthy families jealous. Everyone wanted this kind of result. Why was it only the Zhao family that got so many dividends? Look at the rapid expansion of the Zhao family in a few years and became even more powerful.
.
Even though Li Erlang knew that it would not be good for the Zhao family to continue to expand like this, there was no way to quickly curb the expansion of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family became even more arrogant.
The children of wealthy families are very envious and secretly hope that their family is another Zhao family. Under such circumstances, they naturally think about how to expand their family's strength.
In order to benefit their own families, various wealthy families started fighting secretly. As a result, they often set obstacles for each other, just to let their families occupy more territory and benefits.
This situation is a typical internal fight, but it will affect many innocent people. These people are the most unlucky people. There is a saying: When gods fight, mortals suffer.
One bad move will lead to ordinary people's family being destroyed all of a sudden, but the initiator is not aware of it at all, and will only continue to fight, thinking of getting the maximum benefit.
Maybe ordinary people can't change their fate of becoming cannon fodder, but as long as they live, ordinary people don't want to die and will work very hard to stay alive.
There will be many people who have to flee their original place in order to escape the possibility of becoming cannon fodder. Even though Chinese people never like to leave their hometown, they are the most difficult people in the world to leave their homeland.
But once they reach the point where they can no longer survive, they will think about changing. At this moment, the turmoil has not stopped, and there are not many places where you can find a comfortable life. Some people defected to the territory of Yang Juan and his wife, and started a new life.
Soon everyone felt that life was good here. There were not many aristocratic families, and there were not many people who were above the public. The emphasis here was on the law.
If you are living well, you will let your relatives and friends come to live here, and you will try your best to spread the news, thus attracting more people to come.
Yang Juan and his wife were very happy about this, because population resources were also very important in ancient times. Without population, nothing would work, because wars require people to fight.
The only thing that the couple is worried about is that the population is growing too fast and the food, clothing, housing and transportation cannot keep up, which will disappoint those who come to seek refuge. Therefore, Yang Juan is a little nervous.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao had been prepared for a long time and had been studying how to plant good fields. The grain yield per mu increased significantly, and he also planted new varieties of cotton, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. This was something that was obtained from the previous world and started to be planted after disinfection.
With enough reserves, as for housing? Then we can only build some simple houses, and wait for people to settle down before building their own houses little by little.
There are also other aspects of economic development, which have laid a good economic foundation for Yanland, so that it can accept as many people as possible and reduce the number of people starving to death and people cannibalism.
What most surprised those who came here was that learning was compulsory in this place, which meant that everyone had to know how to read, because Ling Xiao said that reading can make you wise, and everyone who is qualified must read.
The system of recommending officials to become officials was directly abolished. After more people studied and passed the exam, they became officials, which fundamentally cut off the possibility of the development of aristocratic families. Anyway, Yang Juan and his wife did not have a good impression of wealthy aristocratic families.
Ling Xiao proposed the concept of country to let people remember that only a country has a family, and that the interests of the country are higher than the so-called family. These are all instilled in people when they receive education.
In this way, Yang Juan and his wife, with Ling Xiao's secret support, quickly gained a foothold after taking over the north, and their territory expanded rapidly. In the process, many people defected, mostly from poor families.
Li Erlang, who represents the wealthy family, can only be regarded as a hero from the south. He is surrounded by many children of wealthy families. It can be said that the north and the south have different foundations.
Li Erlang has also known about his original wife's big moves in the past few years, and he really regrets it, because the poor boy who married Yang Juan suddenly became the same status as him.
This includes the boy's certain abilities, but it is undeniable that it is more because of Yang Juan. Originally, he was Yang Juan's husband, and those helpers should also be his. If possible, he should ascend to Dabao, but it is a pity that it is not a step.
Wrong step, wrong step.
These things caused the relationship between him and the general's wife to end immediately. Yang Juan had been between them before, but it became even worse after they were removed.
The general's wife had always wanted to tell Yang Juan to go away, but now she has really gone away. After having no relationship with her, she realized that Yang Juan was lucky.
Having her will provide a lot of help, and for the general's wife to drive Yang Juan away is tantamount to siding with the enemy. In fact, Yang Juan ended up standing with the enemy, which put her position in jeopardy.
The general's wife couldn't accept this result and became a little crazy. She would sometimes mutter to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. Why is it like this? My trip here was in vain."
Others naturally didn't know what she was talking about, and she didn't want to see Li Erlang because she found that everything had changed beyond recognition because of her.
She obviously had a good start and directly prevented her opponent from giving birth to the child. It can be said that Yang Juan was stepped on by her. She knew that even if others later knew that Yang Juan had been wronged, they would not receive any compensation.
In this way, she held Li Erlang tightly in her hands, but she never thought that the Yang brothers and sisters would rebound and be caught by surprise.
In vain, the general's wife was very proud before, and she was planning in her heart that she would be waiting for her to become the leader of one person and the leader of ten thousand people, so she should find someone to make things difficult for Yang Juan who married another man.
She never expected that this abandoned first wife would marry a rapidly rising master and be able to compete with her. When she thought that she was the one who created this opponent, the general's wife would sometimes cry and sometimes laugh.
.
The development of things was so beyond her expectation that the past and present life made her feel in a trance. She didn't know whether it was this life or the past life, so she became a little crazy.
When Li Erlang found out, he didn't know what to say. During this period, he was seizing the time to kill part of the Zhao family's power, but in the process, he also suffered losses.
Under such circumstances, he had no time to care about his wife's condition. He even had to deal with his wife's family relationship and did not want to see her at all. He only wanted her to be taken good care of.
Although there are too many problems and conflicts between their husband and wife, she is still his wife. Even though he has lost too much because of her relationship, it is undeniable that he has to bear part of the responsibility.
Although his wife sowed discord between him and the Yang family for various reasons, he was the one who made the final decision, so he could not blame his wife too much.
Also because of the children, he will not give up his wife easily. Except for the children born by his wife, the children born by other concubines are not very qualified. He will not do anything to his wife for the sake of the children.
Of course, he won't go see how his wife is doing now, because seeing her will remind him of the process of being deceived by her again and again. No one wants to be deceived and treated as a fool all the time.
Not seeing her would be nice to his wife. Neither husband nor wife wanted to see each other. Anyway, his wife had a son who was considered an eldest child. He would often visit her and pay attention to whether other people treated his own mother well. Li Erlang was very fond of it.
rest assured.
Now he wants to see Yang Juan even more and wants to ask her how she is doing? But he knows that this is just a luxury wish and it is impossible to see that woman.
Because she represented another force, and the man who was competing for the world with him was Yang Juan. He was angry that the other party wanted to compete with him for the world, but he had to admit that she had that opportunity in the first place.
What was even more infuriating was that he finally knew what he had missed. He had always thought that he had the best part, but he found out that he was not at all.
The Yang brothers and sisters did give Li Erlang a lot of help before, but they kept the most elite part hidden until Yang Juan married another person. This was a big killer move.
Li Erlang always thought that the Yang family's eldest family was his greatest help, but now he discovered that it was not the case. Now he discovered that the most elite part of the Yang family did not belong to Yang Dalang or Yang Erlang, but to Yang Juan.
This discovery was made too late, just because Zhao made him miss his biggest help. This was also the main reason why he didn't really want to see his wife, and he passed by the great opportunity.
It was only then that he realized that Yang Juan's biggest help was her foster sister. Ling Xiao had been helping Yang Juan over the years, and her influence could be seen in every aspect.
Co-author Ling Xiao is the real master. He was very annoyed and really depressed after discovering this fact. He should have guessed it before, but he didn't think much about it because of his gender.
If he had known this would be the case, he would not have insisted on Yang Juan giving up his wife's position. Yang Juan was to some extent as good as the general's wife, but it was too late to say this.
Originally, life in the south would be better, but because of the emergence of new farm tools in the north, which reduced the labor intensity, and the introduction of new agricultural products such as cotton, the high yields were quite good, making the people in the north live better and attracting more people.
Many people are heading north.
The reason why a large number of people are going north is because there are still many wealthy families in the south, and the wealthy families want to get more land and take advantage of more opportunities to get it.
