The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 318 Little Thief Annihilation, Advanced Technology

The Zhao family is actually very smart. They know how to profit from the industrialization reforms carried out by the big man.He knows how to arrange for the women in his family to marry the powerful to increase his family's political capital.He also wanted to support Yu Yuan, so that he could be controlled and benefit the Zhao family.

After all, the Zhao family is an aristocratic family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are many secret arrangements. They also have marriages with the Li family and the Song family, who are also powerful families in Guanzhong.These aristocratic families whose lifespan far exceeds that of the dynasty have always reported to the group for warmth. Only if they are strong enough can they survive the change of dynasty.

In their view, the reform of the Great Han is a betrayal of tradition and a blasphemy of the etiquette that has been passed down since the Zhou Dynasty. The reform of the Great Han will definitely not last.

The imperial court actually wants to allow those mud-legged people to go to school, regardless of age, race, or status.This is obviously unacceptable to the rich and powerful families who monopolize education and profit from it. The mud-legged people can just farm hard and learn whatever knowledge they have. If they learn the knowledge, they will become the rioters who will fight against them.

Now if the industrialization in the Guanzhong area hadn't been prevalent, causing a huge impact on the food industry that the Zhao family relied on for survival, they would definitely hide in the dark and plan slowly, and they would not jump out in a hurry. The most important thing that aristocratic families lack is time.

They sit under the big trees planted by their predecessors to absorb nutrients, and then find new big trees for future generations, so that their children and grandchildren can live a rich and luxurious life.

Looking at Zhao Ju's wound, Zhao Keng couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air. His son had suffered such a serious injury, and he had to take good care of Liu Bian. At night, he would find a few maids to pretend to be young ladies in the house, so Liu Bian probably wouldn't find out.

The meals prepared by the Zhao family were very rich, many rare things that even Liu Bian had never tasted, and many of the Han people still had enough to eat, and there were already a lot of expensive food from the Western Regions in the banquets of the aristocratic families.

Liu Bian's expression made Zhao Keng think that he was a country bumpkin without knowledge, so he explained to Liu Bian: "My lord, this table of dishes is carefully prepared for you. Many ingredients are purchased from Chang'an, and they are transported by the horse team every day. You Have a good taste."

Without moving his chopsticks, Liu Bian pointed to a dish on the table and said, "Is this made with Datura flowers?"

Zhao Keng nodded: "Yes, this is a delicacy." After speaking, he urged Liu Bian to hurry up and pick up the food, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold.

Liu Bian picked up a piece of chicken and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw a few figures moving faintly behind the screen. It seemed that the Zhao family wanted to take action after they had had enough wine and food.

Liu Bian has been dissatisfied with them for a long time. In the early years of the war against the Xiongnu, the figures of wealthy families were always active. They not only shed their blood for the big man, but also continued to smuggle the grain and iron that the imperial court banned from selling to the Xiongnu. go out.

In several large-scale military operations on the border, there were even cases where wealthy families reported news to the Huns.They have no sense of national or ethnic belonging and only think about themselves.

They are like tarsal maggots parasitic on the body of the dynasty, unable to get rid of, and constantly cut.

Another reason why Liu Bian decided to take action against them was their monopoly on knowledge. The people at the bottom had no right to acquire knowledge. Occasionally, a son from a poor family entered the officialdom, and would be suppressed by several wealthy families, and even killed. occur.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian said, "I want to know, what arrangements do you have for this matter? How should I cooperate?"

When Zhao Keng saw Liu Bian talking about this, he also thought that if such a young master with outstanding martial arts could be brought into the government, trained, and sent to the army, the future of the Zhao family would be promising!

So he said: "We arrested the mud-legged people in Sanhekou Village and sent them to the prefect's mansion. Then we asked our people in the army to kill Yuyuan's family and the mud-legged people. My lord, you should report to the untouchables in Sanhekou Village Disrespecting God's will, disrespecting His Majesty, intending to rebel and kill Yu Yuan's family."

Liu Bian clapped his hands: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful. Is it because Wu Shun and others have to kill a series of related people?"

Zhao Keng smiled and said, "Your Excellency has done a great job in suppressing the rebellion this time, and he will definitely make further progress!"

Liu Bian felt sorry for the people, this is their pity, they don't have enough social status, and the rich and powerful families don't care about their life or death at all.

Although it is said that the wisdom of the people will have an impact on the rule of the dynasty, as long as they can live happily, strengthen ideological and moral education, and cultivate their sense of honor for themselves as Han people and the people of the Han Empire, it only takes two generations. become the most powerful country in the world.

It not only refers to the strength of force, but also the strength of culture.Powerful force can only make barbarian foreigners fearful, and cultural erosion can make them truly surrender to the Han.

This requires Dahan to first have advanced production technology to liberate the labor force to engage in more high-tech work, break away from the framework of the farming society, and enter the real industrialization era.

It makes various foreign countries become dumping grounds for Han industrial products. It is more thorough to use industrial products to search for their wealth than to use weapons, and it is easier to control them.

Otherwise, if you let the feudal officials continue to fight, the Han Dynasty will get a sick country with a huge territory and many mouths to feed.Even if all the land is used to grow food, it may be difficult to feed so many people.And blindly killing people will only force them to rebel.

The biggest resistance to the continued expansion of the Han Dynasty is not that the soldiers are not brave enough to fight, nor is it that the economic strength is insufficient, nor is the court's mediocrity. There are two reasons. The first is that the supplies cannot keep up.

Yu Qian once calculated that it would take a full ten years to earn back the wealth that the big man spent every [-] miles in the Western Regions based on the local productivity.

After the occupation, it was necessary to garrison troops, and the cost of helping the people was even more expensive for Yu Qian.

Yu Qian has complained to Liu Bian more than once that the soldiers in front are advancing too fast, which may not be a good thing.However, Liu Bian couldn't stop the soldiers at will, as that would demoralize the army and bring dire consequences.

The bullets and gunpowder used by the army can only be produced in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bian never dared to teach the barbarians the technology of producing muskets, artillery and supporting ammunition.

That would make the big man extremely passive. Even advanced steel smelting methods, armor manufacturing technology and food seeds need to be strictly controlled and cannot be leaked out at will.

If there is a wealthy family with advanced technology to cultivate power in a foreign land, it will soon be able to pull up a powerful army, so the blockade of advanced technology is very important.Liu Bian had asked Shi Xie to organize a new frontier defense force, so he absolutely did not believe that Shi Xie would be on the small boat of the Zhao family.
