Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Five: Three Strategies
With the release of the fifth episode, many people can't sit still. Some people feel that Luoyang City is a place of right and wrong. No matter what happens next, Luoyang seems to be unstable.
Considering their small arms and legs, they decided to run away with the bucket in advance and return to their hometown to avoid the limelight.
Most of those who do this are the small citizens of Luoyang City. Most of them are at a stage where they are not enough compared to those above and more than enough compared to those below.
The family has a little money and some official connections, but that's it. If you don't know two thousand stone officials, you can't raise thousands of private soldiers by yourself, so that the prefect and county magistrate won't dare to bully you.
Simply, taking this opportunity, he took the whole family and dozens of private soldiers at home, called some fellow villagers, and everyone formed a team to return home.
It is not just one or two families returning home, but a large number of good families and a large number of LY citizens, organized by fellow villagers, returning home in groups.
These days, apart from the fact that there is order in the city, there is no such thing as order in places outside the city. In some places, people from one township to another have even turned into bandits. Can you believe it?
There are dozens of households at one go, and each household has as few as a dozen or as many as dozens of private soldiers. When gathered together, there are thousands of private soldiers.
Although these private soldiers are not large-scale and do not have armor or crossbows, when there are more of them, they look very powerful.
Thousands of private soldiers protected thousands of people, old and young, and a large amount of cloth and money, and left Luoyang for their hometown.
When Guo Jia and other Yingchuan students came to Luoyang, they saw such a scene.
A large number of rich people, a large number of poor families, and a large number of small powerful people are all rushing to escape Luoyang.
Of course, at the same time, there are also a large number of small tycoons, big tycoons, good men and even common people coming from all directions.
For example, from a poor family like Guo Jia, he was not afraid of the dangers in Luoyang, but instead went to Luoyang just to take a chance.
Xun Yu, on the other hand, came early to greet Guo Jia. At a small pavilion outside the city, Xun Yu took Xun You and asked his servants to prepare drinks, fruits, and snacks here early to entertain Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and other Yingchuan guests.
Classmates.
While we were drinking and eating snacks, we started chatting.
"This is the power of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This small article has actually made so many people in Luoyang give up their business in the city and choose to return to their hometown. They are not afraid that what if the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is fake? They just give up their business in the city.
Don’t you think it’s a pity to own property?” Chen Qun asked puzzledly.
"They have no strength and no connections. They are the easiest group to be eaten. If there is a slight disturbance, they may be doomed. They cannot afford to gamble, and they do not have the chips to gamble." Guo Jia said sharply.
Chen Deng looked at the crowds coming and going and nodded seriously: "Today's Luoyang City is just a big casino. Those who are not afraid of death and want to climb up are here."
"It's just that at this critical moment, only the emperor and the general are chess players. Even Yuan Ji, the head of the Yuan family, can only be regarded as half a chess player."
"As for the great Confucian who is successful in refining the gods and the fierce general who is successful in refining the body, they are nothing more than large chess pieces. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to fight, you must at least be a large chess piece."
"So, in my eyes, these people are actually quite smart. At this moment, Luoyang City maintains a strange calm, but this calm will not last long, and they can only take advantage of it.
Only then will we be able to escape intact.”
"Look at the guys outside the city who are running inside. Some of them are just extraordinary and dare to run into Luoyang City. They really overestimate their capabilities."
laugh
Following the laughter, Chen Deng saw Xi Zhicai, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes.
Unlike Guo Jia, Guo Jia came from a poor family. A poor family does not mean a pauper. A poor family refers to a family whose ancestors were rich and now in decline.
A real pauper has no chance to become an official unless someone appreciates him.
As for children from poor families, they can directly enter the official service, starting as county officials, or even having direct close contact with the prefect.
Although county officials, county officials, and country officials are all minor officials, even a fool knows that they are different. Once a county official is appreciated by the prefect, it will be easy for him to become an official.
For example, Huang Gai, Zhou Yu’s Huang Gai in Huang Gai, the world may subconsciously think that Huang Gai is a military general and a typical pauper, but in fact Huang Gai was born in the Huang family of Jiangxia, and his grandfather’s generation migrated from Nanyang to Lingling County
, later due to disease and plague, the whole family died, the family was broken up, and Huang Gai was the only one left in the family.
No matter how you look at it, it can be considered a decline, but Huang Gai started as a county official, and then he was promoted to Xiaolian.
This is the standard route for becoming an official from a poor family. Even if it declines, you can still learn the art of war and study at a young age, and you can start as a county official, and you can still be promoted as a filial and honest person.
Guo Jia came from such a poor family. His biological father died early, and he studied at Yingchuan Academy.
As for Xi Zhicai, he is a pure poor man!
He was so poor that he was already twenty years old, and no one even gave him a name.
Later, Xi Zhi succeeded in cultivating the gods, improved his cultivation, and finally had no shortage of food and drink. However, due to his strong personality and his determination not to join any aristocratic family, he had no official position.
Until now, Xi Zhicai still insists on not wearing fancy clothes, insists on wearing coarse linen clothes every day, and insists on refusing to join the aristocratic family.
"Hey, those people can't start as county officials, let alone county magistrates. They don't know the two thousand stone officials, they don't have the appreciation of the nobles, and they don't even have the conditions to study. In addition to a dead life, they also have
What’s precious?”
"So, in order to get ahead, they either join the aristocratic family and become their minions, or they join the army and get ahead in the army. What's wrong with them coming to Luoyang now? Can't ordinary people pursue getting ahead?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Deng immediately wanted to refute.
However, before Chen Deng could speak, Xun Yu promptly changed the subject: "In the fifth chapter, although Wolong did not leave the mountain, he proposed three strategies to Dong Zhuo and recommended a friend to him."
Chen Qun also agreed: "Yes, Wolong asked Dong Zhuo whether he wanted the whole world or whether he wanted glory and wealth."
"Dong Zhuo said that when he was a son of a good family, his biggest dream was to become the local governor and lead the Xiliang cavalry to protect his hometown from Qiang people."
"And when he became the governor of the border areas, his biggest dream had become to change the current situation in which the Kansai scholars were looked down upon by the Kanto scholars."
"And when he deposed the emperor and became the grand master, his biggest dream has become to control the world. But he also knows that it is too difficult to control the world."
"Unexpectedly, Wolong laughed and gave him three strategies, the first of which was to be prosperous and wealthy for generations to come."
Having said this, Chen Qun's face was full of admiration.
"In my opinion, this first policy is the real best policy. This best policy says that the world belongs to everyone, not just one family. We must use the righteousness of the world to fight against the selfishness of the Liu family..."
The world belongs to the people of the world, not the world to one family and one surname.
This sentence has such an impact!
Prior to this, the universal values of the Han Dynasty were that everything in the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers.
Even before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the universal value of the Han Dynasty was that the Holy Emperor was superior and could never be wrong. If you think the Holy Emperor was wrong, then you must be wrong! There must be something wrong with you!
If the whole world thinks that the Holy Emperor is wrong, then the world is wrong!
The Holy Emperor never makes any mistakes!
It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly forced the whole country to oppose him because of his various tricks. It was almost impossible for the whole people to rebel. In desperation, he had no choice but to issue a self-incriminating edict.
The sanctity is gone!
The sacredness of the Emperor began to diminish, but even today, the Emperor is still very sacred, but the sacredness is not as strong.
Probably we have to wait for the fifth generation of warriors to appear on the stage, and only after the warriors shout out the words that the emperor has strong soldiers and horses, they can completely tear off the last sanctity of the emperor.
At least at this moment, the saying that the world belongs to the people of the world, not to one family and one surname, is still very impactful.
Scholars without conscience can close their eyes and say that this sentence is a fallacy, but scholars with conscience will start to think about whether the world belongs to the Liu family or the whole world.
But can we think about this kind of problem?
Whoever dares to think about this kind of problem is the number one traitor in Tianzi! He is a Han traitor!
If caught by the court, he will be beheaded!
"Wolong's best strategy can be summed up in eight words: constitutional monarchy, aristocratic republic."
"According to Wolong's idea, Dong Zhuo will create another aristocratic group through canonization. The difference is that this aristocracy is no longer the military aristocracy of the past, but an aristocratic group composed of aristocratic families, powerful men, and military merit groups."
"At that time, under the banner of serving the world for the common good, we will win over aristocratic families and nobles into the House of Nobles, and discuss state affairs with the three gongs and nine ministers and other high-ranking officials in the court."
"From now on, all major government affairs must be approved by the House of Nobles, and must be approved by more than half of the noble representatives before they can be promoted."
"This is to determine the status of aristocratic families through the system. It is different from the previous techniques. This is Tao, at least it is at the level of Dharma."
Tao, law, technique.
"Hey, why did you only say half of the long article? Wolong not only said that under the banner of serving the world for the common good, he would limit the imperial power and establish a House of Nobles, he also said that he would use the quota in the House of Nobles to win over aristocratic families to fight against aristocratic families, and to win over aristocratic families to suppress
He is powerful and woos the military nobles and makes them hate the aristocratic family."
"In the end, he used the quota in the House of Representatives to stir up conflicts among aristocratic families in Nanyang, Yingchuan, Hebei, Guandong, Guanxi, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yangzhou and other places."
In today's Han Dynasty, the Nanyang family is the best in the world!
Who made Nanyang the hometown of the emperor?
Therefore, today's Han Dynasty, the Nanyang family looks down on any other family. Even the Yuan family, known as the fourth generation and the three nobles, is openly despised by the Nanyang family.
The aristocratic family in the Imperial Township is tough when it comes to words!
You scumbags are still plotting against the Three Dukes, and while you are still proud of having given birth to the Three Dukes, we Nanyang people are already competing to see which family has more queens, which family has more princesses, and whose family has more queen mothers.
Scumbag!
They are all a bunch of scum!
Then the Zhongyuan Aristocratic Family looked down upon the Hebei Aristocratic Family!
The Hebei aristocratic family felt that they were a head above the others in remote places like Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
The aristocratic families in Yangzhou have always wanted to go to the Central Plains, but the scholars in the Central Plains looked down upon them, so the Yangzhou aristocratic families could only enclose their territory and hang out in the small circles of Yangzhou. Except for Yangzhou, no one in the Central Plains recognized them.
.
However, the Yangzhou family is not the worst.
They are just not recognized, but they are not boycotted by the court.
The Kansai scholars were directly boycotted by the Kanto scholars, and those who were suppressed directly doubted their lives.
There is also a chain of contempt among the scholars in Guanxi. The scholars in Guanzhong have the highest level and are at the top of the chain of contempt. The scholars in Liangzhou are despised by Guanzhong.
But Liangzhou also has its own chain of contempt. The aristocratic families in places where there are many Han people despise the aristocratic families in places where Han and Qiang people are mixed.
For some aristocratic families in areas where Han and Qiang people are mixed, if you go to Luoyang and say that you are the son of an aristocratic family, people will laugh at you.
"Furthermore, Wolong also said that the aristocratic families in the world should be divided into nine ranks. The first rank is the highest and the ninth rank is the lowest. The vote of the head of the ninth rank family can only be counted as one vote. For the head of the eighth rank family, one vote counts as two votes. One vote for the seventh rank family.
Counting four votes, when it comes to the first level, one vote counts as 256 votes!"
"Those who have served as county magistrates can belong to the ninth-rank family. The time that a ninth-rank family can stay in the Noble House is quite limited, only ten years. Those who have served as a prefect can belong to a sixth-rank family. A sixth-rank family can directly sit in the Noble House.
Stay for thirty years. Those who have given birth to three nobles can belong to a third-grade family, and a third-grade family can stay in the House of Nobles for a hundred years."
"And when these aristocratic families leave the House of Nobles, it will be the time when the House of Nobles and the imperial court join forces to eat these aristocratic families. From now on, only the aristocratic families who serve as officials in the imperial court are the real aristocratic families. Those who brag and talk to themselves
, doesn’t count!”
This is actually the routine of the Song Dynasty!
In the Song Dynasty, once you won the imperial examination, you were considered a true master. From then on, corruption was nothing, and doing wrong was nothing. As long as you did not rebel, even if you committed a heinous crime, you would be punished.
Three glasses of wine.
Even if he betrayed the interests of the Song Dynasty and gave the city that the imperial court worked so hard to conquer to foreigners, he was still a hero of our civil servants.
Even if he led an army of 100,000 to kill tens of thousands of soldiers, it would still be great. Even after being punished with three drinks of wine, he would still be a great hero among our civil servants!
Even if you insult the emperor, the emperor will at most kill you secretly and cannot kill you openly.
This is the Song Dynasty. Once you pass the Jinshi examination, you become a part of the ruler, you can do whatever you want, and your whole family can get rich.
However, once no one in your family becomes a Jinshi or becomes an official, your family will decline.
Then, you can only watch your home being used and bought by other officials through a series of extremely unreasonable systems, and they will rob you and turn you into a pauper.
Logically speaking, this system is extremely unreasonable, but this system successfully maintained the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty for more than two hundred years.
On the one hand, this is because the number of Jinshi scholars is very small. The Northern Song Dynasty had at least tens of millions of people. With such a large population, ten thousand people could support one nobleman, but they could also support seven or eight thousand noblemen. In the Song Dynasty, Jinshi scholars only came every three years.
Just a few hundred.
On the other hand, it is because once no one in the family becomes a Jinshi, they will be wiped out by a series of imperial decrees, leaving nothing left.
There are always fat pigs that make Mr. Jinshi's mouth full of oil. Even if this fat pig was sitting with everyone yesterday and eating other fat pigs, today he is no longer sitting here, but lying on the table.
