Chapter 904(1/3)
Chapter 907: A complete victory
Jia Ping'an left calmly.
But there was a quarrel in the hall.
"Brave nonsense, alarmist, and sensational!"
An old minister was roaring, spitting everywhere.
Li Zhi glanced at him and remembered that Baiqi had given him news that the old minister had a lot of land in his home, and it was naturally not a tenant farmer who cultivated the fields, but a slave.
The tenant farmers and the owner have an employment relationship. You cannot insult and scold them at will, and you cannot deduct money and food.
But slaves are different. Slaves are like the old ox of the master's family. You can do whatever you want, and slaughter them and eat meat whenever you disagree.
So Jia Ping'an's words poked his lung tube.
An official from the Li family was also roaring, but he found that the two officials of the same clan had turned pale and said nothing.
What does it mean?
Li Yifu is urging...
"Jia Ping'an is trying to dig the roots!"
yes!
Where is the foothold of aristocratic families and powerful people?
...
"Some people say that the foothold of aristocratic families is knowledge, which is to apply gold powder on their faces. Their foothold is not knowledge, but... people!"
When the prince learned about this, he rushed over, but met Jia Ping'an on the way.
"Their ancestors were all officials, and they entrusted the so-called "Nine-rank Zhongzheng" system. One person served as an official and for generations, and gradually accumulated a huge family business and money. With money and endless land population, the weight of their words was different..."
"They then joined forces, and they claimed to be a clan, more than a dozen or dozens of big families joined forces, and the emperor would bow his head for it."
Li Hong was a little confused, "Uncle, why are they so powerful?"
“Because they have someone.”
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "After serving as an official for generations, their relationship in the officialdom was mixed. After joining forces, they could influence the court, and it was easy for their children to take office. With the relationship network, their children would be promoted as easy as drinking water...
Year by year, their power was like a spider web, covering the entire country. This is why the emperor feared them..."
"And the root of all this comes from the population they hold. With slaves, there is farming, with farming, with money and grain, with money and grain, there is capital to expand one's own capital... The prince must remember that people are the foundation."
In later generations, Xu Jie, the lone hero who claimed to endure humiliation and was as honest as water, also built a lot of land in his hometown, and eventually became disgraceful. What is honest as water, and he was successful in planning the country; what is the descendants who have knowledge and good family tutoring will continue to prosper, and this will only attract ridicule... Everyone knows that the population of the land is the foundation for the prosperity of the family.
"Without money, grain and capital as support, those so-called family members who passed on the family through poetry and books will collapse if they cannot last for several generations. Prince, you must remember that the flowing water will not rot."
Jia Ping'an lowered his voice, "Their reliance is nothing more than population, money and food."
I will give you some rotten medicine first, and wait...
The new learning continues to expand, and it will bring you a blow from the perspective of the imperial examination.
Then the court no longer had the upper hand on family values.
The emperor looked at the aristocratic families with a guard and would quietly weaken their foundation... For example, curb land annexation and investigate illegal annexation of land and slaves, and all land populations have to pay taxes...
Losing this confidence, the aristocratic families no longer have such confidence to be able to be versatile and versatile by relying on their knowledge... At that time, the new school rose and the aristocratic families were weakened.
A new balance was formed in the court.
This is the general trend!
Jia Ping'an thought about the general trend for a long time.
Li Hong nodded, "Uncle, go back."
Jia Ping'an nodded, walked for a while and looked back, Li Hong was actually in a daze.
This kid is pondering what he said just now.
In the hall, Li Zhi was quite annoyed by Jia Ping'an's sudden artillery behavior, and Wu Mei was the same.
"He was a little too impulsive." Li Zhi whispered to Wu Mei beside him.
"Yes." Wu Mei frowned and said, "He is leading up for Li Jingye... loyalty! But this is the court, not a place for loyalty. But having loyalty is not a bad thing at all, and then ruthless people cannot be of great use, right?"
I told you that the boy had disturbed the court and should be punished. But what did you tell me is a manifestation of loyalty, and only loyal ministers are loyal.
Where is this with?
Li Zhi was qi stagnated.
Wu Mei was also quite annoyed. Thinking that this incident would trigger a rebound from the powerful class, she wanted to hang up Ah brother.
This time it won't dry, just use a whip to beat it!
Beat!
right!
that's all!
Wu Mei swore that she would not be easily confused by him this time... It seems that she would not be able to do anything ruthlessly.
Seeing her gritting her teeth and being cruel, Li Zhi said with relief: "When you should be concerned, you should be worried, and when you should be cruel, you should not be ruthless."
Wu Meizheng's focus is on.
I will definitely not be lenient this time.
"His Majesty."
Li Jie stood up and said, "I followed the comments on what Jia Jun Gong said."
Cheng Zhijie stood up, "Your Majesty, Jia Jungong's advice is all about pity for slaves. He is asking to treat slaves well and ask families who have slaves in our hands not to be ruthless..."
He looked at the civil officials, "The officials of the Tang Dynasty all boasted of themselves as moral gentlemen. Why did they not agree with such requests, but curse crazy? I think this is wrong, right?"
Liang Jianfang stood up and said, "A moral gentleman should not be a pity to the world?"
"Xiao Jia didn't say that the slaves were abolished, why did he object?"
Xu Jingzong stood up, Li Zhi's eyelids twitched wildly, and Wu Mei was also a little palpitations.
This confidant is good at everything, but he can't control himself with his mouth...
Xu Jingzong spoke, "You want to say that slaves are cows and horses, but who will beat the cows and horses in your family for no reason? There are also laws and regulations in the court that slaughtering oxen is a crime. If oxen is like this, why aren't people as good as a cow?"
"Xiao Jia said that people like to abuse their kind in order to seek superiority. I used to not believe it, but today I saw it... it was true." He took a deep breath, "The so-called moral gentleman is just a faceless beast. I am ashamed of you!"
The group of people blushed, as if Xu Jingzong had pulled off his underwear without underwear, revealing his extremely ugly butt. His anger was like flames, and finally turned into saliva and squirted away.
"Bitch slave!"
"Treacherous minister, you are a slander!"
A burst of curses!
Xu Jingzong, who was in turmoil, was not afraid and refuted one by one.
Wu Mei said lightly: "Your Majesty, they don't agree. They regard slaves as their own private property and cannot be argued with by outsiders."
Li Zhi nodded, "I know."
How I want to deal with my private property is my business, and even the emperor cannot argue with it.
This is the style of the aristocratic family.
Therefore, Jia Ping'an's reasoning is flawless and still unable to move them.
A crazy tear!
Li Zhi shook his head, feeling that this was useless.
Xu Jingzong foamed at the verbal quarrels, and he was still able to fight while panting.
Cui Jian suddenly walked out.
It's Xiao Cui!
Then I will take a rest for a while and get some blood back.
Xu Jingzong temporarily retreated.
Cui Jian is a vested interest, and everyone was looking forward to him when he saw him speaking.
"Your Majesty, the minister of Jia Jungong's words...support!"
Damn it!
Is there a chaos in the family?
Li Yifu was confused.
He knew that Cui Jian and Jia Ping'an had a good relationship, but how could Cui Jian dare to stand up for Jia Ping'an when it comes to such major issues?
Another official stood up, "Your Majesty, I...support!"
To be continued...
