Let me explain separately the issue of rebellion in the novel.
From a reader's perspective, the protagonist in the novel is destined to rebel once his power grows larger and will inevitably attract the attention of the emperor, but in fact?
Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, the rebellions include: Battle of Jingnan, Tang Saier Rebellion, Xixia Rebellion, King Ning Rebellion, Ansai Rebellion, Vietnam Territory Rebellion, Ming Dynasty Luopang Yao Rebellion, Southwest Chieftain Rebellion, Ge Xian Tax Resistance Uprising , Kong Youde’s rebellion, Zhu Zhixiu’s rebellion.
Among them, there are royal families, farmers, and generals, but there are no scholars or big landowners (PS: big landowners refer to officials, eunuchs, wealthy businessmen, etc. who own large amounts of land).
Why does this happen?
The royal family rebels for greater power, the peasants rebel because they cannot survive, and the military generals mostly rebel because they have no choice but to do so.
Scholars and big landowners are both members of the ruling class, and they can be said to have a community of interests with the emperor. Throughout the ages, it has been said that scholars and scholars share the same world, and the punishment is not as good as the scholar-officials. Therefore, historically, the imperial court has been extremely protective of the royal family and military commanders. He is strict, but does not worry about scholars and big landowners. This has been proven by history. He is not the end of the world and does not participate in the struggle for imperial power.
For some large landowners, ten thousand acres of fertile land is normal, and one hundred thousand acres is considered unusual. After all, it is just a 7,000-meter-square piece of land. In ancient times when land annexation was extremely serious, this was not unusual.
Take Shen Wansan, Wang Zhi, Yan Song and others as examples. Historical records describe the vast hectares of fertile land... hectares!
One hundred thousand acres of fertile land needs to be cultivated by no less than ten thousand households, that is, a population of tens of thousands. In addition to other supporting industries, it is common for a wealthy family in a place to control a population of tens of thousands.
Take King Fu as an example. During the enfeoffment, he was given 300,000 acres of land and 100,000 farmers needed farming.
In fact, in ancient times, there was not much defense against these wealthy families. After all, the living conditions of many wealthy families were not as bad as those of emperors, whether it was food, drink, or expenses. They just didn't have enough power, but in their three-quarters of an acre The earth should also be called the earth emperor!
Therefore, as long as you are not a military commander or a member of the royal family, it doesn't matter your power or anything.
In addition, from now on, I will try my best to write 10,000 words every day, and update it twice a day, which will be 5,000 chapters.
