Chapter 239: Tragedy
Time passes by like flowing water, and night comes silently!
It's late at night!
After Yang Tong returned to the room with a smell of alcohol, he fell on the bed, too lazy to move more. He silently echoed Du Ruhui's heroic article. Many of Du Ruhui's suggestions were incisive and unique, which benefited him a lot, and he was unconsciously immersed in it. At the same time, his three questions and answers between him and Du Ruhui also made him think of a lot!
The first thing he thought of was the aristocratic family.
It is true that there are scums in aristocratic families, but if the whole family is full of scum, it has long been destroyed in the long river of history. The secret of their long-term inheritance is not only the two sides but the two sides invest, but the more important thing is the reputation of poetry and books.
Read and learn to be reasonable and pass on reputation!
Kings of all dynasties dare not touch the aristocratic families because as long as they move the aristocratic families, it will cause turmoil and countless people have strange intentions! Why do the people do this? It is because the aristocratic families have a good reputation. They do not increase taxes in their wealth year, and donate grain and money to provide porridge in the year of disaster year! As long as there are aristocratic families, when the people encounter three disasters and five difficulties, they will have a way to beg for help and have a way to survive!
But it is difficult to accumulate reputation and easy to smell. Just like modern female stars, working hard to manage a jade girl image or a certain family will be destroyed. How deeply the image of a jade girl is, when the character collapses, her reputation will be so bad!
Similarly! The same is true for aristocratic families.
When Yang Tong executed the Bingzhou family in the past, he not only announced the evidence of rebellion with Li Yuan, but also a large number of evidence of crimes in the evil countryside. After amplification, the people under Yang Tong hated the aristocratic families very much, thus forming an illusion. In the minds of the people today, the aristocratic families are all scum! The aristocratic families are the code names for scum.
There are no good people in the aristocratic family?
Yang Tong himself did not believe this view. As the saying goes, "If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." Aristocratic families that can stand the test of time actually do not need to be verified in terms of virtue, because time is the best verification. Land annexation and monopoly education are the cancer of the country, but for each family, it is the root of the world.
From a macro perspective, Yang Tong is actually working and accumulating for his family, but his family has been enlarged to the whole world, while other aristocratic families are small tribes that depend on his family.
If he recognizes his status, if he does not reach the top of the mountain, his family will not be able to have a long-term power. Therefore, compared with the aristocratic families, the "Yang Dong family" represents the interests of a country and dominates the direction of macro development.
The aristocratic family removed the word "shi" and was also a family, but their family members were too many, and they had shaken the royal family of the "House of the Great Trends" and were regarded as a thorn in their eyes by emperors of all dynasties.
The "Yang Dong family" consists of thousands of families. In terms of wealth and status, Yang Dong must allow the existence of classes. The saying of eliminating classes is an improper measure of anti-humanity and anti-progress! In the 1960s and 1970s, countless lives proved that equal distribution was not feasible!
However, on the core issue, Yang Tong must try to achieve equality. This core also has opportunities in addition to land.
Weak groups such as poor families, people, slaves, etc. have no chance!
Yang Tong worked hard to create opportunities for them, including equalizing the fields to households, placing the number of people into acres, raising grains into officials and gentry, compulsory education, and improving the imperial examinations were all opportunities created by Yang Tong for disadvantaged groups...
The principle of not allowing aristocratic families to participate in the imperial examination is actually the same as in the early days of the founding of the country, when the state suppressed landlords and rich peasants and supported poor peasants. The purpose is to make up for the gap between strength and weakness and let the two be on the same starting line! When everyone has equal resources in the officialdom, the network that is enough to overthrow the country's interests will be less and smaller!
To do these things, we naturally touch the roots of the aristocratic families. Not to mention that Yang Tong has not unified the world yet, even if we are truly unified, such things that touch the roots of the aristocratic families will still become a resistance to the country's progress.
Not to mention the Sui and Tang dynasties, looking at the entire history of the earth, there is no dynasty or a country that can solve this problem because it involves the issue of ‘privileges’.
Privileges!
It has always existed in slave society, feudal society, capital society, and social society, because this is the symbol of the new society replacing the old society and the source of strength for the new society to replace the old society.
Why did the civil and military officials board Yang Tong's ship?
For the sake of privilege.
If Yang Tong didn't give it to him, who would help him conquer the world? Who would work hard for him?
Therefore, Yang Tong treated everyone equally on the surface, but in fact, the reason why the Sui Dynasty was strong and stable was the effect of privilege.
Supporting the army and wearing family members is a privilege, daily pension is a privilege, and even the daily salary of officials is a privilege!
The distribution of land, tax system, education, scientific research, and law are the roots of Yang Tong, and anyone who touches it will die. But he can make up for his loyal ministers and generals in other aspects. For example, he cannot give a large amount of land to civil and military officials, but he will use money instead.
The salary of honors, juren, civil and military officials is actually all compensation. The monthly salary of these things is much higher than that of land, and it does not need to be managed.
But in the future, after these privileged people have passed through the great waves, they will still develop into emerging aristocratic families, but they cannot monopolize the right to education as they did before.
Therefore, Yang Tong never thought that such absurd thought would never have arisen in the aristocratic family. He shouted this slogan, just like "The King of Chuang came and did not pay food." He just anesthetized the people under his command.
Of course, the people have indeed gained benefits.
"Husband, what a strong smell of wine!" A pleasant voice suddenly sounded in my ears, but Xiao Wu and Changsun Wugui walked in.
"Why have you drunk so much?" Xiao Wu wrinkled her cute nose, looked at him with a angrily, and then said with a heartache: "I'm drunk, and I don't say anything."
Yang Tong no longer thought about the messy government affairs. He looked at his little housewife sideways and said, "All of them are still not sleeping so late? What should I do if the baby is so tired?"
"Really?" Xiao Wu was shocked and almost threw the object in her hand out
Yang Tong said with a funny look: "Of course, you ran around! How do you sleep with the baby?"
"What should I do?" When Xiao Wu heard this, her little face was nervous, especially her big eyes, like a poor little cat.
"Get to bed early and get up early!" In fact, according to Yang Tong's standards, the so-called late night is not too late, at most around twelve o'clock.
"Then I'll leave!" Xiao Wu left in a hurry, without the appearance of a pregnant woman being cautious.
Xiao Wu is pure and straightforward by nature and very sensible. She always releases her true nature in front of her relatives. This is also what Yang Tong is most satisfied with and likes the most.
"Husband, I'll help you press."
Changsun Wugui put the ginseng soup aside, sat leisurely on the edge of the bed, moved his head to his legs, and pressed his two snow-white and delicate palms on his shoulders, gently kneading them.
Yang Tong smiled and pillowed with Wuqi, closing his eyes to enjoy it. After drinking, men usually think of women who are close to them.
The same is true for Yang Tong.
Xiao Wu is pure and beautiful, kind, elegant and noble; Changsun Wuque is dignified and virtuous, with a scent of books on her body; Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning are heroic and full of wild beauty. If you talk about the depth of your relationship, you may be Xiao Wu, a married couple who is married to the Ming media.
The rest are three!
Shui Tianji followed him for the longest time, and because she had no worries, she could easily open her heart and the two were together without restraint.
Changsun Wugui is gentle and considerate, gentle and quiet, like a cup of fragrant tea. With her, her soul seems to be washed.
Li Xiuning's every move was full of charming demeanor, and her enthusiasm was like fire. She was a kind of favor on the bed. She was a bit more desire than love to her, which may be because of the short time.
Changsun Wugui looked at the angular face in his arms, his eyes a little distant.
As Yang Tong walked into Guanzhong, his career flourished and his leisurely days began to go away. Although it was a good thing for Yang Tong, the Great Sui and the family, for a woman, she had to stay alone in the empty room.
Sometimes Changsun Wugui thought! If Yang Tong was just his junior brother so simple, she should be able to live happily with him.
But this thought flashed quickly. He knew that his husband was a man who did great things and could not spend too much time in the gentle land. Otherwise, what he would bring to the royal family and the Great Sui Dynasty would be a devastating blow.
In fact, Changsun Wugui felt that he was already very happy. Although Yang Tong was a bit ridiculous when he was in bed, he seemed not very concerned about women, because no matter how ridiculous he was, he was only targeting the four sisters, and would not reach out to other women.
As a concubine, Changsun Wugui knew very well that with Yang Tong's status, not to mention four women, even forty was not an exaggeration. But Yang Tong never mentioned a word, let alone find a maid with a roommate. Although Xiao Wu, Shui Tianji, and then Li Xiuning, he never lost his favor to himself who had married once.
Yang Tong asked with his eyes closed, "You thought of that so-called collection of poems!"
Publish a book.
It is a sacred thing, almost an official patent.
The cost of publishing a book is too expensive, and most people can't afford it, and few people can afford it.
However, with the emergence of Yang Tong, the cost of publishing books has dropped to the price of jumping off the property.
His papermaking theory has been transformed into reality after testing by Liangjiang in the "Kaitianyuan" and has almost no business. After the improvement of the Liangjiangs, the output is amazing. As for printing, it is even simpler, it is nothing but changed to movable type, which has also made the popularization of books. As for the price of paper, books are no longer a luxury, and the number of people publishing books will definitely increase day by day.
But he never expected that these wives would take the draft of his calligraphy practice and then gather it into a book. The four of them used this as a guide to lure the noble ladies to put down the style of competition and turn to the literary style. These noble ladies all planned to be the writers of their husband's works and learn the knowledge of governing the country and military!
Based on his understanding of Xiao Wu, she had a shallow knowledge and could not think of this idea, as did Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning. So, it must be the idea of this Changsun Xianfei.
Changsun Wugui smiled shyly: "I like my husband's poems and articles the most, including worrying about the country and the people, worrying about the world first, worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later, and enjoying the world's joy. There is a teaching and writing "listening to the Tao, and specializing in the arts and professions"... There is a bold and generous "killing one person in ten steps, not leaving a thousand miles away", and a graceful "no colorful phoenix flying wings together, and a heart of understanding". So I specially recorded my husband's poems and planned to write a collection of poems exclusive to my husband. One day, I saw the emperor and grandmother copying Buddhist scriptures, and I saw that my elder sister had the intention of reversing the trend of competition for extravagance, so I had this idea."
Yang Tong laughed secretly: "The pirated poet is indeed the killer of intellectual beauties! Xiao Wu was killed instantly in the past, but now, the company chief Sun Wuque cannot avoid the vulgarity."
However, he had long since stopped treating shamelessness as a face. And overall this is a good thing! There are few military books these days, and the experiences of the generals are actually a series of live military books. If their wives really wrote one book, it would definitely enrich the military tactics of this nation.
But when she thought of Fang Xuanling, who was afraid of his wife, Yang Tong had to observe a moment of silence for Lao Fang - this wife has learned military tactics, Lao Fang is destined to be unable to turn over in this life...
