Fei Qian gently knocked on the table and said: "I am going to take this opportunity to clean up the clientele... You know, the prosperity of the clientele in the Spring and Autumn Period was not due to the Fourth Young Master, but because many people could not find them.

When you get to the top, you can only use your disciples as a stepping stone..."

The retainer system originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished during the Warring States Period, and gradually declined in the Han Dynasty. But now, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the identity of the retainer class has finally become somewhat solidified.

During the Warring States Period, the aristocratic class represented by the Fourth Young Master was fond of keeping guests, and some allusions have been passed down. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the style of keeping guests was inherited from the Warring States and the Qin State, and various princes and kings also kept guests on a large scale, which became

This created a huge hidden danger for the central court, which led to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty taking action against the retainer system for the first time.

Although the system of promoting filial piety and integrity seems to have many problems at this stage, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the system of promoting filial piety and integrity could be used to break the circle of retainers of various princes and princes, allowing more people to escape through the channel of promoting filial piety and integrity.

The princes from all over the world surrendered to the emperor, and it was precisely because of these first batch of people who practiced filial piety and integrity that they eventually evolved into the current gentry family...

However, due to the political shortcomings of the Han Dynasty, the reuse of relatives, eunuchs, etc., the style of keeping guests returned to politics, and many changes occurred. The retainers of the powerful landowners evolved into powerful slaves and nobles.

The disciples under Qingliu call each other disciples, and the disciples under the military function have evolved into tribes, and so on. Although the names are different, the essence is almost the same. They all share the prosperity and loss of the master.

Damage exists as a vassal of some people.

Even people like Pang Tong can be regarded as a kind of "client" of Fei Qian.

"So, it is basically impossible to completely eliminate the retainers, so this time..." Fei Qian chuckled, "If you want to get the best, talk about the top, and if you want to get the bottom, talk about the bottom, first put on a good show

If we want to clean it out completely, we can basically pass the system of liquidating the disciples..."

If there are restrictions, there will naturally be people who want to break through them. There is no way around this, but it is always better than no restrictions at all.
