Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 170

Chapter 171

The big man has an obvious label, that is, the world of gentry.

The gentry are big bosses in the local area, controlling the local military, finance, and land.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gentry became the local powerhouses and representatives of one party.

The Sima family in Hanoi and the Xun family in Yingchuan are both representatives of well-known families.

This is just an example in the north, and it is the same in the south.

Sun Quan was able to sit firmly in Jiangdong because of the support of the four major families in Jiangdong. Without the help of the four major families, Sun Quan would have become a bereaved dog long ago.

Liu Bei's ability to occupy the four counties in southern Jing still has the merits of the gentry.

No, now that the nobles in Jingnan have a gap with Liu Bei, Xiao Beibei's life is not easy.

It is enough to see the influence of the gentry on the great man.

Cao Cao was a smart man, and he also knew that the gentry was too powerful, so he agreed to the Order of Seeking Talents, in order to suppress the gentry through talented scholars from poor families.

It’s just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. After all, the gentry has penetrated into the bones of the great man. If the big man does not have the support of the gentry, this building will collapse.

In another time and space, why was Cao Pi able to successfully usurp the Han?
Isn't it because of the support of the gentry?

This is also the case today.

Cao Chong was not stupid, he could already hear the threat from Sima Ping's mouth.

Jianxi County and Fulong County were already in Luoyang's territories. If Cao Chong wanted to manage these two places well, he had to get the support of the Sima family.

If Cao Chong doesn't act according to Sima Ping's wishes, Sima Ping will definitely not make Cao Chong feel better.

In addition, the Sima family also has a certain influence in the court, and has a good relationship with other families.

If Cao Chong gets rid of Sima Qiu, Sima Ping will make a big publicity, let the rest of the Sima family know about it, and create trouble for Cao Chong.

In terms of seizing the heir, the Sima family supported Cao Pi. If Cao Pi caught his tongue, it would be bad.

Especially Sima Yi, that old silver coin, is best at playing tricks behind his back.

A threat, a proper threat.

If the young master is subdued, he will never be able to raise his head again.

Cao Chong is also tough, how could he admit defeat so easily.

"Old man, are you threatening me?" Cao Chong asked back.

Sima Ping snorted coldly, and said with the attitude of a superior: "Young master, I am not threatening you, but persuading you. These people can't even afford to eat, so how can they bring you benefits."

"My Sima family is different. Not only can I help you manage Jianxi County and Fulong County, but it can also help you rebuild Luoyang."

"Comparing the two, the young master should be very clear."

I know your sister!
"So, wouldn't the big man's law become a dead letter?" Cao Chong held back his anger.

Sima Ping stroked his beard, and said: "The law of the great Han governs these poor people, and the gentry belong to the ruling class, how can they compare with these lowly people."

"Why does a country have people? Isn't it for the use of our ruling class, building palaces, planting fields, and doing coolies. This is the meaning of their existence."

"They were born to serve our ruling class."

This Sima Ping thinks highly of himself.

I really thought I was a character.

"If one of the people dies and two die, it won't affect anything, but if the interests of the gentry are damaged, the consequences will be different."

Sima Ping was very proud, as if he was born to be superior to others and trample others under their feet.

The more Cao Chong listened, the angrier he became. There are such brazen people in this world!
"How do you say that the common people in the world should be trampled under by the gentry?" Cao Chong was very angry.

Sima Ping unexpectedly nodded, "That's right! Untouchables are untouchables, they deserve to be trampled under our feet, and they should be grateful for our gift if they can survive."

"So, the big man can live without these untouchables, but he can't live without the gentry."

"The age of Emperor Guangwu is too long, so I won't talk about it. Let's take Prime Minister Cao as an example. Prime Minister Cao can achieve today's achievements because of the support of the gentry."

"Back then, my grandpa was killed by Tao Qian. After Prime Minister Cao conquered Xuzhou, the first thing he did was massacre the city, but the massacres were untouchables, and he didn't attack Xuzhou gentry. Why?"

"It's not because, without the support of Xuzhou's gentry, Prime Minister Cao would not be able to govern Xuzhou well."

"How is the result?"

"In the beginning, the Xuzhou gentry supported Prime Minister Cao, and Xuzhou was Prime Minister Cao's territory, but later the Xuzhou gentry supported Liu Bei, so Xuzhou changed its owner."

"Later, Xuzhou's gentry supported Prime Minister Cao again, and Xuzhou returned to Prime Minister Cao's hands."

"Little son, if you want to achieve great things, you should learn from your father."

"The old man knows that you are shouldering the huge task of rebuilding Luoyang. Without the support of my Sima family, how would you complete this heavy task?"

Rebuilding Luoyang is not a one-day or two-day project. What's more, the internal must be united. If the internal chaos, things will be even more difficult.

Jianxi County and Fulong County are the core areas of New Luoyang City, and the land in these two counties is in the hands of the Sima family. Without their support, it would be really difficult to manage.

"Young master, I think what Sima Ping said is right." Xia Houba whispered in Cao Chong's ear.

"Now that we have killed Sima Qiu, we will definitely become enemies with them. If they are making trouble here, and the Sima family is making trouble with the eldest son in the rear, you will be very passive."

Cao Chong naturally knew this truth, but he was very angry.

In his previous life, Cao Chong was a social loser, living at the bottom of the society. Most of the hard-earned money he earned every month was given to rent, and a small part was given to life.

Life was hard and poor.

Girlfriends are afraid to talk, because they are too poor and no one will look up to them, and they dare not go to company parties because the salary is too low. To attend a party, you have to go hungry for three days.

Squeezing the subway to work every day, looking at high-rise buildings every day, sighing, where is my home.

For this reason, Cao Chong often sighed in the dead of night, why some people were born without a battlefield, and he was born to fight alone.

Therefore, Cao Chong in this life understands the suffering of the people very well, and understands the pain of the people very well.

We are born as human beings, no one is higher than another, and no one is lower than another.

What Sima Ping said today deeply hurt and angered Cao Chong's heart.

Since you think you are superior, then the young master will pull you down from the altar!
"Kill!" Cao Chong's eyes were determined, and today he will stand up for the common people.

"Wait!"

As a result, Xia Houba shouted.

Even Cao Yan didn't move.

"Cao Yan! I let you kill Sima Qiu!" Cao Chong roared.

"Think twice, young master!" Cao Yan said with a bow.

Xiahouba followed and said, "Young master, you must calm down."

Grandpa can't calm down!
At this moment, Cao Chong only wanted to kill Sima Qiu and express his position to Sima Ping.

In particular, it is ironic to see that the people are naked, but the rice fields outside the city are very dense.

The Quyuanli promoted by the young master was intended to do good deeds for the common people, but it turned out to be cheap for the gentry.
