"Some people say that the foothold of aristocratic families is knowledge. This is to put gold powder on their faces. Their foothold is not knowledge, but people!"

The prince came in a hurry after learning about this, but met Jia Pingan on the way.

"Their ancestors were all officials. Thanks to the blessing of the so-called Jiupin Zhongzheng System, one person was an official, and officials were officials for generations. Gradually, they accumulated a huge family business and money. With money and endless land and population, they talked. The portion is different”

"Then they joined forces, claiming to be a powerful family, more than a dozen, dozens of big families joined hands, and the emperor would bow his head for it."

Li Hong was a little puzzled, "Uncle, why are they so tyrannical?"

"Because they have people."

Jia Pingan said with a smile: "After generations have been officials, their relationship in the officialdom is intricate. After joining forces, they can influence the court. It is easy for their children to become officials. With a network of connections, their children's promotion is like drinking water. easy

Year after year, their power is like a spider web covering the entire country, which is why the emperor fears them."

"And the root of all this comes from the population they hold in their hands. With slaves, there will be farming, with farming, there will be money and grain, and with money and grain, there will be money to expand your capital. Prince, remember, people , is fundamental.”

In the later generations, Xu Jie, the lone hero Xu Jie who is known as being incorruptible and clean like water, also bought a lot of land in his hometown, and his reputation was ruined in the end.What kind of incorruptibility is like water, old man seeks the country; what kind of children and grandchildren have knowledge and good family education, the family will continue to prosper, this will only attract ridicule. Everyone knows that the farm population is the foundation of the family's prosperity.

"Without the support of money, food and capital, those so-called family heirs of poetry and books will collapse within a few generations. Prince, you have to remember, flowing water does not rot."

Jia Ping'an lowered his voice, "Their reliance is nothing but money and food."

I will give you a bad medicine first, and wait until later

The new academy continues to expand, giving you a hard blow from the perspective of the imperial examination.

Afterwards, the family-oriented values ​​no longer prevailed in the court.

The emperor looked at the family members with wariness in his eyes, and would quietly weaken their foundations. For example, to curb land annexation, clean up illegally annexed land and slaves, and all land populations have to pay taxes

Without this confidence, the clans of aristocratic families no longer have the confidence to make such maneuvers by relying on knowledge. At that time, with the rise of new learning, the clans of aristocratic families were weakened.

A new balance was formed in the court.

This is the trend!

Jia Pingan thought about the general situation for a long time.

Li Hong nodded, "Go back, Uncle."

Jia Pingan nodded, and looked back after walking for a while, but Li Hong was in a daze.

The baby was thinking about what he just said.

In the hall, Li Zhi was quite annoyed by Jia Pingan's sudden firing, and so was Wu Mei.

"He's too impulsive." Li Zhi whispered to Wu Mei beside him.

"Yes." Wu Mei frowned and said: "He is showing his loyalty for Li Jingye! But this is the court, not a place for loyalty. But it is not a bad thing to have loyalty anyway, and it can't be used for those who are ruthless, right? "

I told you that the boy disturbed the court and should be punished.But you told me that this is a manifestation of loyalty, and only loyal courtiers are loyal.

Where is this from?

Li Zhi was furious.

Wu Mei was also quite annoyed, thinking that this matter would trigger a backlash from the elite, she wished she could hang brother up.

This time, instead of air-drying, I directly whipped it with a whip!

Hang and beat!

Correct!

that's it!

Wu Mei swears that she will not be easily fooled by him this time.

Li Zhi saw her grit her teeth hard, and said with relief: "When you should be concerned, you should be concerned, and when you should be cruel, you should not be soft-hearted."

Wu Mei nodded solemnly.

This time I will definitely not be soft-hearted.

"His Majesty."

Li Ji got up and said, "I am following what Duke Jia said."

Cheng Zhijie stood up, "Your Majesty, Duke Jia's words are full of compassion for slaves. He is asking for good treatment of slaves. Let us and others who have slaves not be cruel."

He looked at those officials, "The officials of the Tang Dynasty all pride themselves on being moral gentlemen. Why do they not agree to such requests, but curse wildly? I think this is wrong, right?"

Liang Jianfang stood up and said, "Shouldn't a moral gentleman be sympathetic to the world?"

"Xiao Jia didn't talk about the abolition of slaves, why did he object?"

Xu Jingzong stood up, Li Zhi's eyelids twitched wildly, and Wu Mei's heart palpitations.

This confidant is good at everything, but he can't control his mouth

Xu Jingzong said, "You want to say that slaves are cattle and horses, but who will beat the cattle and horses in the family without reason? There are still laws in the court, but it is a crime to kill a farm cattle. Even if a farm cattle is like this, why is a person not as good as a cow?"

"Xiao Jia said that people like to torture their own kind in order to seek a sense of superiority. I didn't believe it in the past, but I see it today." He took a deep breath, "The so-called moral gentleman is just a beast with no face and skin. You are deeply ashamed to wait for me!"

A group of people blushed, as if Xu Jingzong had pulled off their underwear, revealing their ugly buttocks. Their anger was like flames, and finally turned into saliva and spewed away.

"Bitch dog slave!"

"Traitor Xu, you sycophant!"

There was a burst of cursing!

Xu Jingzong, who was in a precarious situation, was not afraid, and refuted them one by one.

Wu Mei said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it's not that they don't agree. They regard the slaves as their own private property and don't allow outsiders to comment."

Li Zhi nodded, "I know."

What I want to do with my private property is my business, and even the emperor can't say anything about it.

This is the style of the aristocratic family.

That's why Jia Ping's reasoning was impeccable, but they still couldn't move them.

There was a burst of tearing!

Li Zhi shook his head, thinking it was useless.
