Can the powerful landowners evolve the ability to fight against the Han Dynasty system and law?
The answer is of course unquestionable!
They must and will definitely have this ability. This cannot be convinced by a butcher's knife or deceived by propaganda.
The reason is very simple. You can understand it clearly by putting yourself into the role of a powerful landlord.
Suppose you are a landowner in a Han Dynasty, with thousands of acres of fertile land, dozens of slaves, a beautiful wife and maidservants, and rich clothing and food.
But then you suddenly realize that the new county magistrate always looks at you strangely.
Think again of the experiences of those seniors in my memory.
Even if you have read poetry and books and understand the truth, can you accept it?
Probably not.
You will definitely do everything possible to prevent possible disasters.
And this is human nature.
It has not changed since ancient times, even two thousand years later.
And these people have the right to speak in the countryside, control the wealth of knowledge, and have the means and resources to abuse Liu Che.
In the past, when the power of these scumbags was declining, they would openly praise Xiang Yu and covertly criticize Liu Bang, say all kinds of sarcastic things, and spread rumors in a shady manner.
He actually even said such nonsense as "There are no heroes, so Zhu Zi became famous".
The Xiang Yu they hold in high esteem is no longer a hero at all.
Zhang Zifang, Xiao He, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying... even Yingbu, Peng Yue, Tian Heng are all scum!
I can only say that no one can match these scum for their ability to tell lies with their eyes open.
Over the years, with the development of the Han Dynasty economy, the increase in the value of household registration, the unprecedented prosperity of the commodity economy, and rapid external expansion, the landlord and gentry groups also began to find their own way out and solutions.
Some people join industry and commerce, reap huge profits, and make a lot of money.
There are also people who are determined to transform, and to transform into military aristocrats (mainly in the northern region).
Some people have quietly moved their families out to Andong and South Vietnam, hoping that the sky is high and the emperor is far away and they can live in peace.
However, most people still remain the same.
The grievances and dissatisfactions of these people continue to accumulate and ferment as time goes by.
Even among those who have successfully transformed, how many would be grateful to the Han Dynasty and Liu Che?
I'm afraid that if I get the chance, I'll take advantage of it.
This kind of thing is not surprising. There are countless examples in society two thousand years later, and there are countless similar examples.
However, the Legalist bureaucrats and scholars were still immersed in their own victory and glory, unaware that dissatisfaction and resentment were constantly accumulating and fermenting among the gentry everywhere.
It will erupt when the time is right. At that time, whether it is the world changing the cauldron or the internal discoloration, it is possible.
As for Legalism, as a tyranny of the previous dynasty, I am afraid it will be stigmatized and suppressed.
From the perspective of eating, the rise and dominance of Confucianism in history was actually the will of the entire landlord group.
The powerful landowners and gentry did not allow themselves to continue to be restricted and regulated.
They decided to smash the shackles that bound themselves and gain domination of the world.
Just like capital in later generations, no matter which country it is in, it will definitely find ways to gain power, master the law, and modify the system to suit its own needs.
Thinking of this, Liu Che said: "What you said is wrong! Whether it is harsh punishment or the system of tombs, they can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"It is common sense for a lady to want to be rich and honorable so that she can support her wife and children, be filial to her parents, shine her family, and even lay the foundation for her descendants."
"Isn't it the same for you?" Liu Che asked Yang Kai: "I heard that your salary, allowances and subsidies, and rewards are mostly used for your children and the education of your clan... Just to seek the teachings of famous teachers, you spend your years.
One hundred thousand fees!"
He then looked at the other ministers and said, "The same goes for you, sir!"
The Zhuxia nation is the nation that values education the most on earth!
In ancient times, education was the most important thing for the Xia nobles.
There is school in summer, there is itch in business, and there is order in week.
Three generations of aristocratic elites regard themselves as gentlemen. They are brave, smart, strong and polite.
Even fighting is done with great etiquette.
Before the battle, we must surrender to the enemy, do not kill two cents during the battle, and do not chase after the battle.
Even if a country annihilates its enemy, it will still hold a hand and leave some territory for the enemy. This is called the separation of life and death.
All of these are systems and etiquette cultivated over a long period of time.
As for today, education is the top priority for all middle-class and aristocratic official families!
Any family with some plans and awareness will tilt its resources towards the education of future generations.
Therefore, for the education of future generations, people can spend a lot of money to buy a school district house in Maoling that they rarely live in, and even spend all their money just to send a son to the martial arts academy.
Local powerful people, landlords, and wealthy businessmen donated a lot of resources to famous local schools.
It is no exaggeration to say that in China, education has always been the most expensive thing for parents to spend money on.
This will be the case in the past and in the future.
Even the emerging military aristocrats, the generals and captains who came from the bottom to counterattack, also understand that the education of future generations should be a top priority!
Listening to Liu Che's words, countless people were thoughtful.
Some Legalist doctors even seemed to have awakened to something.
They suddenly discovered a fact: Although they were supporters of the Lingyi system and the Han family system, if one day the Han law and system were to punish them, they seemed not to sit still and wait for death, willing to accept the national law - even if they were willing, their family would
You must not want to either.
Liu Che continued: "I believe that blocking everything is worse than sparing it. Since ancient times, saint kings have always focused on enlightenment when they ruled the world! Therefore, the people did not offend the portraits of Yu in the Tang Dynasty, and punishments were not used during the period of prosperity. The mountains and rivers did not collapse, and the river valleys did not race. When the phoenix came to perform rituals, The map of Heluo is known to everyone in the world and is known to everyone!"
This is of course absolutely true!
A universal value recognized by all schools of thought!
It’s also Liu Che’s best excuse!
He walked forward and said as he walked: "The purpose of this arrangement of pavilions is to guide the scholars and the people, and to show my intention to rule the world together with the scholars and officials of the world!"
This is truly a correct and reasonable explanation!
The Confucians were even more delighted, the Huang-Lao sect also expressed their satisfaction, and even the Legalists were moved by it.
That is to say, the bureaucrats and the military feel a little uncomfortable, but the situation is over!
Because people found that if they opposed this method, they would not only be opposing the emperor, but also the Liu family.
Instead, he is an enemy of the world’s scholar-bureaucrats and heroes!
Therefore, the whole palace bowed their heads for a while, and everyone shouted: "Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles away, but the ministers are so ignorant that they just bow their heads!"
Liu Che walked up to the generals and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, sir, I will order the local pavilion chief to choose Li Zhengzhi. Among the three of them, there must be a veteran!"
When the generals heard this, they left with smiles on their faces, and they all said in their hearts: "Your Majesty, you should have told me earlier!"
If we had known this earlier, everyone would have raised their limbs!
Liu Che walked up to the ministers again and said: "Don't worry, sir. I will issue an edict, and the power of the selected person will be in line with the local order, and I will have the chief minister to formulate a system. This will ensure that the authority of the county is not compromised!"
This is natural, Liu Che just wants to support a group of scapegoat black gloves to help him do dirty things, not to cultivate a group of uncles.
Since this is the case, he will naturally not give these people too much power, let alone allow them to override the law and the government.
I'm having a meeting in Changsha these days, and I have to finish the book. Please forgive me for the slow writing.
