"In addition, Wolong also said that several aristocratic families should be canonized hereditary in an honest and fair manner. Let them assist the emperor, assist the grand master, and assist the court in governing the world from generation to generation."
Select a few aristocratic families, stay with the country, inherit the throne, and serve as the communication representatives between the court and the aristocratic families in the House of Nobles from generation to generation.
How many top aristocratic families are there in the world?
a lot of!
The Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes is just one of the strongest, and the Yang family next door is not inferior to the Yuan family in the slightest.
There are also large families like the Huang Family of Jiangxia and the Xun Family of Yingchuan, which have been passed down for thousands of years. They also have extensive connections and profound foundations.
Especially under the extraordinary world view, the Xun family has the inheritance of Xunzi. The Huang family in Jiangxia has been a first-class family for thousands of years, not to mention the Confucius family in Qufu.
With so many big families, who can get a few hereditary places?
Do you want to fight?
Will there be any conflicts due to this?
"Hey, this is a conspiracy. Who wouldn't want to continue to eat the declining nobles who have been kicked out of the Noble House? Moreover, Wolong also said that if the court still cannot function, then he will take the representatives in the Noble House to eat with him.
Big business. Just find a place and let the whole country eat together."
"After eating, the landless refugees from other places were moved there to ease the annexation of local land, and at the same time, by confiscating the wealth of the local families, the imperial court was given a boost."
"In this way, during normal times, we will eat up declining aristocratic families, and in times of crisis, we will lead other aristocratic families in other places to eat up a wave of big ones."
Hearing this, Chen Qun couldn't help but feel murderous intent in his heart.
Such a plan is really too cruel!
This Wolong is really not a son of man!
When Chen Qun and other young people felt that Wolong was too cruel, some people didn't think so. For example, Huang Wan, the current Yuzhou Mu.
Huang Wan's grandpa Zeng was a minister in the Han Dynasty. The position of minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty could be regarded as a fake version of the prime minister.
The actual power of Shangshu Ling was greater than that of the Three Dukes. After all, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Dukes were just decorations most of the time.
Huang Wan's grandfather was a Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.
What is a top family?
This is it!
Huang Wan herself once served as a high-ranking official like Taiwei in history.
Is this considered the fourth generation and three princes? At least it is the fourth generation and two princes plus a Shangshu Ling.
This is the Huang family of Jiangxia. Today's Huang Wan was appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Yuzhou, responsible for cleaning up the many bandits in Yuzhou. In fact, Huang Wan did a very good job. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans and bandits in Yuzhou have been eliminated by him.
Almost there.
The most important thing is that in the process of pacifying the thieves in Yuzhou, Huang Wan trained an elite army, which was the powerful state herdsman with a heavy army.
But at this moment, it is only the year 189 AD!
It stands to reason that if Huang Wan were to start a rebellion at this moment, his starting point would be higher than that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. However, Huang Wan was a loyal minister and a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, he had no thoughts of rebellion at all.
As the head of a top family in the world, as the Yuzhou Shepherd of the Han Dynasty, and as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Huang Wan felt that the aristocratic chamber mentioned by Wolong was very interesting.
Constitutional monarchy, aristocratic republic.
After Huang Wan saw these eight words, she couldn't take her eyes away!
He felt that doing so might be the best for the current Han Dynasty!
Due to the two disasters caused by the party's imprisonment, coupled with the current Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the conflict between the aristocratic family and the emperor has reached its absolute limit.
No matter who is in power, they must face this problem. As a scholar with integrity, Huang Wan feels that this problem can no longer be postponed.
Since it can't be delayed any longer, we have to find a way to solve it. A constitutional monarchy and an aristocratic republic are a good solution, and the aristocratic family will definitely agree to it.
As for whether the emperor can accept it, does it matter?
Even if the emperor doesn't accept it, all the sages can try to persuade the emperor. Isn't it better to not have too much real power than to destroy the Han Dynasty?
Moreover, for the emperor, wouldn't it be wonderful to have one lineage and an unfailing inheritance from now on?
For aristocratic families, from now on, they can govern the world in a legitimate and legitimate manner. From now on, nobles will always be nobles, and aristocratic families will always be aristocratic families. Isn't it wonderful?
From now on, those poor people no longer have to think about getting ahead all day long. Everything is left to the scholars. All officials can only be played by scholars. They don't even have to pretend to work superficially. Isn't it wonderful?
Thinking of this, Huang Wan decided to quietly seek advice from other aristocratic families.
It happened that Emperor Ling was about to die now, so he cooperated with the general He Jin and tried to get He Jin to agree when He Jin was in power.
In this way, when the new emperor grows up, he will no longer need to personally govern the country. Isn't it wonderful that all the sages will be responsible for the great affairs of the world?
From then on, the emperor has been favoring beauties in the harem, having more children and being blessed, exercising his body, and breaking the curse that the average life span of the Han emperors has been no more than thirty-five since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Isn't it wonderful?
…
The time went back to midnight, when the fifth chapter of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms had just been released. In the palace, Zhang Rang read the fifth chapter word by word.
"The first strategy proposed by Wo Long was not adopted by Thief Dong. He felt that this first strategy had too many variables and was too slow to achieve results. He thought that the family was too greedy, and even if it was the first strategy, it might not be successful, so he asked Wo Long,
Is there any other way?" Zhang Rang said slowly.
Hearing this, Emperor Ling shook his head disdainfully: After all, he is a border warrior and does not understand politics. He really thinks that all the aristocratic families in the world are carved out of the same mold.
The Shijia gang is quite shameless, and their bottom line is also quite flexible. In short, the Shijia's bottom line is that there is no bottom line.
As long as you benefit from it, they guarantee to cooperate with you.
In the original history, Dong Zhuo had successfully cooperated with the scholars for a period of time. During that time, Dong Zhuo and the scholars were like a couple living together. Although they were often noisy, they could still survive on the whole until the Kanto period.
The princes joined forces to attack Dong, and Dong Zhuo directly killed Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji's family, both young and old, and finally broke up with the scholars.
In Emperor Ling's opinion, if Dong Zhuo adopts the first strategy mentioned by Wo Long, 80% of the aristocratic families will be willing to cooperate with him. In the end, whether Dong Zhuo wins or the aristocratic family wins, the most unlucky person will be the emperor.
The next generation of emperor will most likely become the constitutional monarch that Wolong calls him. From now on, the king is under the law. Even if he is a monarch, he must abide by Han laws. From now on, noble families can even directly use Han laws to restrain the emperor.
What kind of emperor is such an emperor?
Puppet emperor?
But once all the aristocratic, powerful and good families in the world reach the consensus that the king is under the law, then even the emperor can only abide by the rules honestly.
Thinking of such a future, Emperor Ling became a little anxious, and then coughed subconsciously: "Wolong has great talent but no virtue!"
The word "无virtue" in Emperor Ling's words refers to the fact that this guy is not loyal to the court at all!
"However, even so, I am still willing to issue an edict to hire him as the crown prince and grand master. Father, prepare to make a move. Mother, please continue reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Without saying anything, Zhang Rang sat on the desk nearby and began to write the edict. The other eunuchs on the side prepared their seals. As for Zhao Zhong, he took the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Zhang Rang and continued to read.
"The content of this second strategy, in a nutshell, is to be prepared for the coming troubled times, completely break your skin, use powerful force, completely occupy Guanzhong and Sili Land, and kill all the powerful families in Guanzhong and Sili Land.
, to cultivate a new group of upstarts who are loyal to Dong Thief himself."
"Wolong means to eliminate the old vested interests and cultivate a new group of warriors. Then implement the Qin method, restore the military merit and nobility system, and use the method of farming and warfare to reconquer the world."
He who can sharpen a hole is invincible in the world!
"Wolong said that at this moment, the thoughts of the princes in the world have not changed, and they are not ready to compete in the world. Even many eunuchs do not dare to use force to suppress the families under their rule, and they subconsciously follow the rules of the peaceful era.
It’s not mature enough to operate in one set.”
Just like that guy Han Fu, he was obviously a Jizhou shepherd, with powerful soldiers, many ministers and generals, and many loyal to him. However, after being collectively intimidated by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and their subordinates, he was so frightened that he mentioned
The barrel ran away.
This is a typical tragedy of not realizing that troubled times have arrived!
At that time, if Han Fu had the idea that troubled times had come and soldiers were the king, he would directly lead his soldiers to kill all the scholars who had colluded with Yuan Shao, what could they do?
No matter how powerful the family is, no matter how powerful the connections are, they are nothing in the face of the weapons of criticism!
"The core idea of Wolong's second strategy is to first clean out the old aristocratic and powerful families through a major purge, and then establish a new military group that belongs only to himself."
"After straightening out the internal situation, we can quickly go out and promote the world. In the process of promoting the world, we must be fast enough and use the early development advantages as much as possible to eventually form a snowball-like general trend of the world. Directly use the huge military strength.
Crush other princes."
Hearing this, Emperor Ling couldn't help but ask: "Then what?"
"Then, Thief Dong refused the second strategy. He said that it was not necessary. He said that he and the Guandong scholars could still cooperate. He held the official title that the Guandong scholars wanted most. There was no need to quarrel with each other.
There is no need to come up and be hostile to all the aristocratic families in the world."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling took a slow breath.
Fortunately, this Dong Zhuo is a fool.
Until now, I still feel that I can cooperate with the Kanto scholars, and I don’t care whether the Kanto scholars think highly of you or not.
As for whether Wolong's second strategy is possible to be realized, Emperor Ling felt that it was possible to realize it after just a moment's thought.
Today's Guanzhong, the land of Sili, has a large population and a profound foundation. If Dong Zhuo really does this, then he can completely organize at least 100,000 professional troops in about a year.
Based on this, we dare to recruit 200,000 Qiang people. When the time comes, 300,000 troops march eastward from Hulao Pass. Who can stop them?
After a while, Zhao Zhong continued to read: "Then Wolong proposed the third strategy. Wolong said that in this case, it would be more stable. He would manage the Guanzhong area first and directly move all the people in the Sili area to Guanzhong."
"Wolong said that the land of Guanzhong has been one of the world's most important granaries since ancient times. Nowadays, it is only because of the sharp decline in population and the disrepair of water conservancy projects that it appears poor and exhausted."
"As long as you have the courage to move the population of Sili to Guanzhong, and then work hard to farm for a few years, you can naturally restore the power of the Qin Dynasty."
"Wolong said that he would first negotiate with the scholars in Guandong and move the population at the same time to enrich Guanzhong, and then send capable people to manage Guanzhong and build water conservancy projects to wait for changes."
"When the Guandong scholars collectively raised an army to attack, they saw the right opportunity, abandoned the emperor and hundreds of officials, went to Guanzhong, stood firm at Hangu Pass, proclaimed themselves the King of Qin, and then called themselves King of Qin. Then, based on Guanzhong, they conscripted Liangzhou
The Qiang people are followers and will move when the time comes."
Do you want to challenge Dong?
Are you all loyal ministers?
Then let the emperor and the officials be handed over to you!
The princes of Guandong who have obtained the emperor and hundreds of officials are really willing to continue to be loyal ministers?
Can a loyal minister be as comfortable as a prince?
In any case, it is impossible for the princes of Guandong to continue to unite to crusade against Dong. Especially since Dong Zhuo has returned to Guanzhong and sticks to Hangu Pass, no one is willing to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Even if there is Cao Cao who is willing to continue to crusade against Dong Zhuo
, they also don’t have enough strength.
"In the end, we will wait for the civil war among the princes in Guandong and then look for opportunities to go directly eastward out of Hangu Pass and imitate the Qin Dynasty back then."
"However, Thief Dong did not even adopt this strategy."
Hearing this, Emperor Ling couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Emperor Ling's happy look, Zhao Zhong also laughed along with him, and soon the palace was filled with laughter.
"This Thief Dong is nothing more than that." Emperor Ling said slowly.
Zhao Zhong also echoed: "Yes, Thief Dong said that the third strategy was still too dangerous. He obviously didn't trust the scholars. He also said that there were some things that could be done but not said. He felt that Wolong was still too young and smart.
Smart, but that’s about it.”
"Wolong also felt that Dong Zhuo seemed to have a problem with him, so he did not bring up the matter of becoming an official. Then Dong Zhuo left. But not long after, Li Ru returned again, and then saw Wolong who was packing his luggage."
"Li Ru asked him why he was packing his luggage."
"Wolong said: If I don't leave, I won't be able to leave in the future."
"Li Ru thought about Dong Zhuo's character, and could only nod and sigh, and then wanted to ask Wolong to do one more favor before leaving."
"In the end, Wolong had no choice but to tell Li Ru that he had a good friend, whose surname was Huang Mingsheng and whose courtesy name was Zixing. He was a great sage in the world and was good at farming."
"He also said that his friend is good at cultivating high-yielding seeds on a large scale and has invented a large number of advanced agricultural equipment, which can easily increase the yield per mu from one stone to three or four stones."
"However, his friend is indifferent to fame and wealth, and there is no way to invite him to work through ordinary methods. His only obsession is to compile a complete book on agriculture. We can try to invite his friend to work in this direction."
