Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Powerful Evolution
Liu Bei has always been firm-willed, so he didn't sigh too much.

He, Liu Bei, wanted to rely on the powerful before, but the problem is that the Yingchuan gentry and the big clan didn't look down on him at all...

Besides, the restoration of the Han Dynasty by him, even if it is bad, is better than sending it to the Jin Dynasty, right?

After sighing, Liu Bei suppressed a smile and said:

"If Emperor Xiaowu knew that the later generations would call him so jokingly, he would definitely raid his family."

"Brother, don't be joking." Zhang Fei muttered, "The army of later generations will be terrifying."

"I don't think the champion Hou will be reborn."

Everyone is used to all kinds of teasing and addressing, but now it seems that this kind of teasing is more like a reward, a kind of recognition from later generations.

Didn't you see that Li Shimin, who was once an emperor through the ages, was opened and his mouth was opened, Er Feng shut his mouth and Li Er?
And when Zhang Fei thought about it, Zhao Yun was even dubbed Yunmei...

Pang Tong shook his head first:
"Cruel officials can't understand the calamity of tyranny, it's really not a good strategy!"

"Wealth can move people's hearts, and land can move people's lives!"

Shiji only included ten cruel officials, but in the three dynasties of Xiaowen, Xiaojing, Xiaowu and Xiaowu, there were more than ten cruel officials?

Immediately, Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei's serious expression, and hurriedly comforted him:

"However, cruel officials can also be used as a deterrent. My lord may set up a capable official in Yizhou to guard and punish the powerful officials in Shu."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and nodded unconsciously.

The good thing is that Yizhou is here. The place is not big, and the powerful are weaker. What Guo Yangliu and Du Zhao can be suppressed with one hand with today's troops.

Kong Ming suggested:
"After March, the busyness of Chengdu will come to an end. My lord may follow the example of Emperor Xiaowu and issue the "Encouraging Learning Order", asking the people to send those under the age of sixteen to Kaimeng."

In Kong Ming’s view, as the price of paper becomes cheaper, the people need to spend less and less money to read and write. With more literate people, it is much easier to implement government orders.

Even Kong Ming recalled the experience of going to the vicinity of Jiangzhou to reform the salt law in the first lunar month. A local old man insisted that there are evil spirits in the fire well, and the salt boiled in the fire well was designated as a harmful thing.

Opening up the wisdom of the people also has a long way to go.

Liu Bei also thought this was okay, and then saw Zhang Song stand up:
"My lord and the military adviser Xiao Taixue have made great achievements for thousands of years, but the lord and the military adviser are both busy."

"I am a native of Shu, and I have the audacity to ask you to take charge of the Little Imperial Academy. I will definitely live up to the hard work of my lord and military advisor."

Liu Bei nodded. Zhang Songzhi sometimes made him feel embarrassed, and he was also from Chengdu, so he was indeed more reliable in handling this matter.

Liu Ba, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt the pressure. He was originally a new courtier in Yizhou. If you do this and I am indifferent, won't it make the lord feel that I have something to say?

At the moment, he had no choice but to say: "My minister, please work with Zizhong to formulate the taxation method for merchants and merchants. We will definitely not repeat the old disaster of suing and suing."

Yes, in Liu Ba's eyes now, Emperor Wu's policy is undoubtedly a bad game, and his reputation will be ruined if he doesn't receive the money.

Mi Zhu raised his head from deep thought: "Huh?"

……

The ministers in the Manna Hall were speechless, watching their Majesty, the majestic Lord of the Tang Dynasty, now lying on the couch in the Manna Hall and bursting into laughter.

Is it so funny that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is called His Majesty Piggy?

In the end, all the ministers could only ignore it for the time being, mainly because they didn't know whether it was necessary to persuade such a thing.

Du Ruhui thought for a while and said:

"In the eyes of later generations, this merchant tax seems to be extremely important."

Changsun Wuji found it obvious:
"Looking at this map, Keming, the Tang Dynasty is so vast, and there are many countries in the later generations, and the countries are different. They must communicate with each other through merchants, officials and markets."

"We can still plan conquests around the Tang Dynasty, but like the land of Great Qin, how can we attack with tens of thousands of miles apart?"

"It's just that later generations seem to have a slight prejudice against Confucian scholars?"

Fang Xuanling stood up, walked around and shook his head:

"What economic strategies do the scholars of Qi and Lu know? They pretend to be pedantic, they read scriptures but don't know how to adapt to changes, they talk about holy words but they don't know how to govern the country. What's the point of prejudice?"

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling paused, and saw that on Yan Liben's drawing paper, the Lord of the Tang Dynasty was rolling his belly vividly.

Fang Xuanling just pretended not to see it, walked away quickly, and asked casually:
"I just don't know what this time travel means?"

Du Ruhui still had an impression:

"Previously, the light curtain said that His Majesty traveled through Liu Chan and made people enter the history. It should be a strange story for later generations."

Compared with this piggy Majesty, the early Tang Dynasty has a complete Han, Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties to refer to.

Therefore, this has its own views on salt and iron, business tax and Taixue, so it can only be guessed from the details.

The few ministers tacitly avoided talking about the powerful and powerful. It was really difficult to grasp the scale of what His Majesty said at the beginning, but they all had thoughts in their hearts.

[The Eastern Han Dynasty was the golden age for the development of tyrants. During this period, the suppression of imperial power was lost, and tyrants began to diversify.

After Liu Xiu abolished the armed forces of the county, local powerful people who owned large amounts of land evolved into the ultimate form of manor landlords.

The most outstanding among them was Cui Shi during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. He was a leading and cultural landowner and even wrote "Si Min Yue Ling" to guide other landowners on how to manage their manors.

As you can see in this book, a qualified manor needs to include industries such as agriculture, sericulture, textiles, wine making, pharmaceuticals, and horse breeding.In military affairs, horned bows and crossbows were required, training five soldiers, and learning combat shooting, arsenals and baggage carts were standard equipment, and Wubao, which Emperor Wu sometimes had, became standard equipment for manors during this period.

And for a big family like Cui Shi, the manor has the characteristics of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, which is enough to close the door to produce by itself, provide abundant material support for the main family, and thus secure political power with peace of mind.

For example, Cui Shi, his grandfather Cui Yi was a famous scholar, as famous as Ban Gu, and his father Cui Yuan was also a scholar, and he was close friends with great scholars Ma Rong and Zhang Heng.

Cousin Cui Lie, an official to Taiwei, and nephew Cui Jun are famous scholars of the Three Kingdoms, whose name is Zhouping, and they are inseparable from Zhuge Liang.

The Cui Shi family started in Zhuo County, and later changed to Boling County, which was later the very famous Cui family of Boling, which even attracted the fear of the two phoenixes.

Although Erfeng personally suppressed it in the early Tang Dynasty, in the late Tang Dynasty Bo Lingcui was publicly promoted as the "crown of the gentry", and there were 16 prime ministers in the last Tang Dynasty.

However, after the Tang Dynasty, the voice dropped sharply, probably because it was finally hit hard after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Boling Cui completely declined in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The other kind of tyranny took advantage of the style of study of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty to embark on another path: the study of classics and then the officialization of the world.

To put it simply, it is to first use the family property for learning, and then raise the name after doing the learning, and then formally enter the official career and take power after raising the name.

Because the great Confucianists at that time could accept disciples by themselves, even if a wealthy tycoon could not send his son to Luoyang to study in the imperial school, he would send his son to the local Confucianism to make friends with other tyrants.

The Hongnong Yang family who took this route the most smoothly, although they didn't recognize it themselves, they all knew that it started with Yang Xi, Marquis of Chiquan, who divided Xiang Yu's corpse.

Yang Xi’s great-grandson, Yang Chang, was the Prime Minister of Emperor Zhao and Sima Qian’s son-in-law; , The name of the Tokyo clan.

But things didn’t go well afterwards. During the Three Kingdoms period, Yang Xiu and Yang Biao were killed. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Jun and others punished the three clans because of their relatives’ exclusive power. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yang Liang’s clan was killed by Huan Xuan and Liu Yu.

Looking at these two lines, one can roughly understand that celebrities, dignitaries, officials, landlords, etc. promoted each other, and finally formed a family of great families in the late Han Dynasty, such as Chen, Xun, Yuan, Ma, Cao, Zhong, Du, etc. wait.

Especially at the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial power was completely sidelined, and the local constraints were zero. The concept of county prestige began to take shape. The local people knew the powerful family but did not know the emperor. 】

Today, everyone in the Chengdu government office felt like a bumpkin again.

"This Boling Cui, from the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, has accumulated 500 years?"

This is Liu Bei's sigh, he just finds it unimaginable.

How much wealth can be accumulated in 500 years?How much land was seized?After wars and chaos, there are still more than a dozen prime ministers after the change of dynasty.

Zhang Fei despised:

"Looking at the meaning of the light curtain, after 500 years, no one has become a general!"

"After Wu Huanhua is still alive, and he doesn't want to serve the country in troubled times, he is really the blood-sucking insect that the light curtain said!"

"Fortunately, it was changed to Boling Cui. If it was still Zhuojun Cui, my old Zhang would feel ashamed!"

Pang Tong said with a smile:

"If you were still Zhuojun Cui, maybe people would look down on you, Yide."

Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "He looks at it for public use?"

"Later generations will know my name and my loyalty, so where does Boling Cui's tomb face?"

"My second brother said it right, even though he is dead, his name can be hung on bamboo and silk!"

Pang Tong cupped his hands, only to feel that although Zhang Fei did not change his temper after reading the book, he did speak in a much more orderly manner.

Also agreed:

"Just like Cui Zhouping, who was remembered by later generations because he was a friend of Kong Ming. Who would envy the name of a celebrity?"

Kong Ming laughed and shook his head, thinking that today is really a good day:
"Knowing the dangers of being powerful, I never thought that this powerful person could survive hundreds of years and compete with the Emperor's family for fame."

"That is to say, in the early Tang Dynasty, benevolence was required, and the local tyrants were easy to conceal crimes, otherwise..."

The corner of Pang Tong's mouth curled up in an arc, and he also shook his head:

"This Boling Cui knows how to endure humiliation. It's a pity he wasn't born in Jiangdong."

Liu Bei was a little silent when he saw the back:

"According to what this light curtain says, the Han Dynasty should have died long ago."

"And that generation of tyrants, who enslaved the people of the Han Dynasty and started a family, had a rich family business, but secretly plotted to become a leader..."

"It's really a disaster for the dynasty! You deserve to die!"

For a while, no one spoke, only Kong Ming arched his hands and said:
"Since this is the case, my lord, don't forget the sufferings of the people."

Zhang Fei followed without hesitation:

"My old Zhang has long since disliked those high-ranking surnames!"

"They fight over their own three lords and even spy on the emperor's throne, but let the people die. How can it be so reasonable!"

For a while, everyone in the government office looked sideways, only Zhang Fei laughed.

……

Ganlu Hall was relatively quiet until Li Shimin laughed loudly:
"The other generation's rebellious party is a disaster for the Tang family's party. He really deserves to be killed!"
