Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

The black robe shook his head, and said seriously: "That's not what I said, Yugong, in fact, after hearing this, you should understand that the division of castes in Tianzhu is not the same as the division of scholars, peasants, businessmen and slaves under the Confucian system here. It is almost the same. The so-called rule in ancient and modern China and abroad is nothing more than the reclassification after the conquest. Brahmins occupy the highest position by mastering sacrifices and culture. It is the same reason to rule and manage others. The second rank is the martial arts group, because to ensure national security and complete daily management work, soldiers and local officials are needed. They are the cornerstone of the country and ensure the country's security. safe and stable."

"As for the Vaishya, it has the same status as our farmers and artisans in the cities. They are the main producers of the country. Food, cloth, and daily utensils are produced by them. After all, the gentry and the military People are not engaged in production, so it is destined that the number of their two classes will not be too many. It is precisely the lower three classes that account for the vast majority of the country's population. It's just that farmers and Vaisyas have personal freedom, and they also have They will have some land property of their own.”

"Shudras and lowly slaves are slaves or semi-slaves. They belong to those who are defeated and conquered. These people can only live for the sake of living. They do the most despicable jobs and even become slaves of the Vaishya family. , This is the same reason as our ordinary farmers may also buy a few slaves to engage in production. The farmers and tenants of your family manor are almost in this class. Liu Yu is now trying to let the farmers, common people and tenants There is hope, there is hope, and the power, resources, and land in the world are no longer monopolized by the last two non-productive classes. You should have realized the power of this."

Yu Yue gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "We are born as human beings, and we should have our own destiny. Liu Yu's doing this is giving people unrealistic greed and delusion. The crime is too great. If he continues like this , it will inevitably cause the people’s hearts to change, and the world will be in chaos. But, what do you mean, Buddhism can solve such problems?”

The black robe nodded: "Actually, the root cause of the chaos in the world does not lie in what you think. It is Liu Yu who makes people uneasy. It lies in the fact that the contradictions between the various classes are getting deeper and deeper, and finally they cannot be reconciled. At the beginning of any dynasty, the gentry and The number of samurai will not be too many. Most of the world is self-cultivating farmers, with their own one-acre three-point land, wives and children, and they also get land from the state, pay taxes to the state, and the treasury is also full, so they can fight abroad. It can also provide relief for disasters and distribute salaries to scholars and soldiers, so that all classes can be satisfied and there is harmony.”

"But after a long time, troubles will come out. The root of the troubles is not that people's hearts are old, but that the aristocratic families, gentry and warrior groups have monopolized power, and they have monopolized women. It is difficult for poor people to marry wives. , why is this? Because the rich and powerful have wives and concubines in groups, and all the women are brought into the house. How can the poor have wives, how can they start a family and start a business again? Yugong, if I remember correctly, you There are as many as thirty-five wives and concubines in the family.”

Yu Yue's face turned red slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Isn't this a common thing in the world? Besides, my wives and concubines didn't force people to marry them. Most of them were farmers and tenants. In order to thank me for my kindness to them, They took the initiative to offer their daughters, and said that marrying me is their blessing, and there are seven concubines, because the family suffered a disaster and had nothing to rely on. If they don’t marry me, they will starve to death. I don’t think there is any problem with this , I gave them a chance to live, or let them live a better life.”

Speaking of this, Yu Yue paused, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that marrying a country bumpkin with mud legs will lead a better life than following me and living a life of luxury?"

The black robe smiled slightly: "These women and their families are not doing well, isn't it because a family member like you, Yu Gong, took away the land that their father and brother should have, making them unable to make a living, even supporting a family?" Has a daughter, or raising a wife, become difficult? The children of your aristocratic family, wives and concubines are in groups, and then the house is full of children and grandchildren. In order to leave more land for your children and grandchildren, you go to plunder, use various excuses and Disasters, to annex the land of the self-cultivating farmers, so that more and more ordinary self-cultivating farmers will lose their land and become your farmers and tenants, becoming nothing and can only depend on you.”

"Yugong, put your heart on your own

Bixin, if there is such a day, of course, I am just making an analogy and assumption, don't take it to heart, if there is such a day, your Yu family will also fall, and the whole family will be deprived of everything, and there will be no way to live. At that time, you couldn't feed your seventeen lovely daughters. Would you watch them starve to death, or would you sell them into other powerful families with a smile on your face, as human concubines or even slaves? Did they find a way out? "

Muscles on Yu Yue's face were beating slightly~www.readwn.com~ He really wanted to refute, but he was even more clear that every word of the black robe was correct, and this was indeed a noble family and a noble family in the world , if the way of survival of the landlords and powerful people is not to **** the blood and sweat of the people in this way, how can they get something for nothing and enjoy wealth forever?

Yu Yue gritted her teeth: "What you mean is that because our aristocratic family has many descendants, in order to support the descendants, we seized the land of ordinary people and made the gap between this class bigger and bigger. This is the world. The source of the chaos?"

The black robe nodded: "Yes, in fact, no matter which country, no matter which part of the world it is, the root of all problems is the land problem. All power and wealth are built on the land. The sect, as well as the gentry, used their power to control all the land in the world in their own hands, leaving others no way out. In the long run, grievances boiled over. Now Liu Yu has awakened the common people through propaganda and let them know that these The land belongs to the country, it belongs to the people of the world, and it can be distributed to them. There is no need to rent and grow the land you snatched from them, but also thank you for your charity. What Liu Yu did was Sakyamuni's hundreds of The truth he enlightened years ago is also what he did. If you want to solve this contradiction, you can only follow the Buddhist way of thinking!"

Yu Yue gritted her teeth: "How do you follow the idea of ​​Buddhism? It is to build temples all over the world, so that those who don't want to serve the family and don't want to shed blood and fight, shave their heads and become monks. They don't pay taxes and don't weave cloth. , without desire or desire?"
