Can you live forever

Chapter 55 Tai Chi push hands, you come and I go
The real wealth is not cooking with fire and oil, and the flowers are like a brocade, but a long stream of water.

This is what many people don't understand, just like people without wisdom roots don't understand longevity, the pursuit of ultimate wealth, often too easy to break, fall into the trap of "the prosperity is also flourishing, and the death is also sudden".

China's history is long enough.

It is enough to tell later generations what real wealth is, such as the blood left by the ancient sage kings, and the feudal nobility formed by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that it has a long history, right?

These aristocrats have not disappeared after experiencing the prefecture and county system of the Great Qin Dynasty. They have become aristocratic families, and when they developed to the limit, they were the five surnames and seven Wangs of the Jin Dynasty.

Perhaps, at that time, people would think that such wealth can last forever.

Until... Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The whole world is like a chopping board, chopped to pieces, without any sense of superiority or inferiority. It can be summed up by quoting a sentence from "Book of the Later Tang Dynasty": soldiers who are arrogant will chase commanders, and handsome and strong will rebel.

The feudal town rebelled against the emperor, the general rebelled against the governor, the battalion general rebelled against the general, a thousand generals rebelled against the battalion general, a hundred generals rebelled against a thousand generals, even a hundred generals rebelled, small soldiers rebelled against the captain opposite……

It was a real chaotic world, where there are soldiers, there are grass heads.

Everyone in the world is ambitious to climb up, no matter what kind of noble family you are, if there is a threat, you will be wiped out, no matter whether you accept it or not.

that's it.

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, almost all the aristocratic families of the past were smashed to pieces, and left to the later Zhou, oh no, to the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, it was an excellent era.

It is precisely because of the disappearance of the powerful family that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together.

However, Da Song failed to live up to expectations.

Of course, those are other issues. The key is that after experiencing the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, let people know that the way of aristocratic families is not safe, and wealth cannot be passed on for a long time.

In addition, after Mongolia went south, Shenzhou land sank, and Ming Dynasty restored China.

Every reshuffle of the troubled times has left those aristocratic families in disarray. After the vicissitudes of life, what is left now?Take a closer look, but there are only two.

South Zhangbei Kong.

Therefore, people with insight can understand that it turns out that the true wealth is the south and the north...

Wang Yuanzhi expressed his heart, and Zhang Zhixiang was deeply shocked by his courage. He felt that those rich people on the wealth list in his previous life were too low compared to businessmen like the Wang family.

No, is it possible that the Wang family and the others are businessmen, while those rich... are just compradors?

After all, Mr. said: You think too highly of them, what do they know about capitalism?At most, it will go back to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society.Capitalism accumulates assets by invading and plundering other countries. Who do they dare to invade?Amitabha is the one who is not invaded.

And these merchants in Ming Dynasty seem to be somewhat different from capitalists...

"Uncle Wang Gaoyi!"

Zhang Zhixiang saluted Wang Yuanzhi. No matter what purpose Wang Yuanzhi had, he was indeed doing something good for the country and the people. Zhang Zhixiang didn't need to push his friends away because of things like "impure original intentions".

Mr. said, unite all forces that can be united...

Wang Yuanzhi smiled, and he still didn't say a word. As Wang Yangming's long-term friend, how could Wang Yuanzhi not know that only by cultivating conscience can one cultivate conscience.

His own motives are not pure, and it is impossible to "create the peace of the world and make the world a public".

Only people like Zhang Zhixiang can do this.

"Tell me about the Dengwen drum."

"Without the suppression of the statue of Guan Gong, the Dengwen Drum will continue to appear, and there must be grievances behind it. Cui Wen wants to use this to put pressure on the Nanjing court, and even force Nanjing to destroy the Dengwen Drum through the fear created by the Dengwen Drum. It’s so utterly difficult.”

"As for Nanjing, Yang Ting and that old fox will not let it go."

"I'm afraid he will take advantage of his strength. If you say there is a grievance, then you can complain. In a short time, the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice will send a letter requesting a thorough investigation of the case and return the world to the people."

"At this time, who is the best to point the grievance at..."

Zhang Zhixiang said in shock: "Cui Wen? Are they going to beat him up?"

Wang Yuanzhi shook his head and said: "Cui Wen is just a 'citizen' who has resigned and returned to his hometown. He is now a shadow player in the Jianghu. Although he is the most important piece of Jiajing's many chess pieces in the south of the Yangtze River, he lacks enough influence. force."

"The best point of grievance should be the clan."

"After all, our Long Live Lord is ruled by a vassal king. For the sake of legitimacy, we have held a big ceremony over the years and attacked the clan. This is the best way to persecute Jiajing. Dengwen drum can even be used to borrow the name of Taizu to Overthrow the Great Rites and make Jiajing a puppet."

"After retiring from the old age and returning home in the third year of Jiajing, our Lord Chief Assistant is actually holding back his anger."

Wang Yuanzhi understood the grievances between Jiajing and Yang Tinghe too well.

I also understand that the chief assistant who has dominated the world for 12 years, is aggrieved by the geese all day long, but the geese pecked at his eyes. Jiajing was a puppet he personally selected, but he was driven away from the center by the puppet, even if he took the initiative to retreat. However, this is still a kind of humiliation to Yang Tinghe.

He must be washed.

"Then we checked the files today and acted as if we were going to supervise the handling of the case in Yingtianfu Yamen. Wouldn't it be Yang Tinghe's help then?" Zhang Zhixiang immediately reacted.

My heart is a little chilly.

Yang Ting and Backhand let them be used by him. Now that they have awakened, it is not easy to quit, otherwise it will arouse suspicion...

"It's okay."

"When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when blessings come, misfortune rests on it."

"It's not an opportunity for Yang Tinghe to take action against the clan. The clan of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a bit too big to lose..."

In the eighth year of Jiajing in the future, the population of the clan will be 8203. Now it is the sixth year of Jiajing, and there will be 8000 people in the clan, according to the ancestral system established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

From the beginning of the prince, all the eldest sons are hereditary replacements, and the rest of the children are reduced in rank and assigned to them.

The order is Prince, County King, General Zhen Guo, General Fu Guo, General Feng Guo, Lieutenant Zhen Guo, Lieutenant Fu Guo, Lieutenant Feng Guo.

Even the lowest-ranking lieutenant of Fengguo, not to mention the land when he was knighted, can receive 200 shi of grain as salary every year. The Guochao spends at least 400 million shi of grain every year on supplying the clan.

It should be noted that the land tax in the Jiajing period was only about 500 million shi...

Counting the land that the clan needs to confer, the clan accounted for 20% of the financial expenditure. Just like this, it was still the situation in the sixth year of Jiajing. By the end of the Ming Dynasty...it would be horrible.

There is a problem with the clan law established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Those clans don't have to do anything, they can just give birth to a baby, and if they give birth to a million people, even a huge empire can be dragged down...

Therefore, the problem of the clan must be resolved.

Jiajing couldn't do this by himself, and Yang Tinghe just happened to do it, so naturally he had to borrow Yang Tinghe's strength...
