I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"Hey...it really is so..." Cai Yong sighed and smiled bitterly, with a sad and helpless expression.

Cai Yong didn't take these words literally. In his mind, it was Qin Huang's hope that he would stand up and disintegrate the resistance of the big Han celebrities, so as to reduce the intensity of resistance brought about by the change of dynasty.

Seeing this, Cai Yan hurriedly stepped forward to caress his father's back. He was very worried, but he generally understood what was going on, and knew that it was difficult to end.

Seeing Cai Yong and Cai Yan like this, Nangong Xiao thought for a while and said again.

"Today's emperor of the Han Dynasty will have a 'Guiyi Hou', a Jue, who will ensure that his family is rich and enjoy his old age. If his heirs have the ability to stand out in our Great Qin Dynasty, they will not be buried."

"Is this true?" Cai Yong asked seriously.

"Golden mouth and jade words."

"Thank you Emperor Qin for your gift!"

Cai Yong prostrated himself.

"Let's get up." Nangong Xiaoxu helped, and then said, "I will welcome Zhao Ji and several Han women as concubines with a formal gift at the right time."

"?!!"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong and Cai Yan's eyes widened.

Immediately, Cai Yan's face burned, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

While Cai Yong was stunned, he suddenly understood.

Perhaps it is due to the "disease of widows", but it is more to increase the sense of belonging of the Han people.The stronger the sense of belonging, the weaker the confrontation, and the loss of dynastic change will naturally be further weakened.

In modern terms, this is a low-cost, low-risk, and high-efficiency political operation.

Cai Yong has been an official in the center of the Han Empire for many years, how could he not understand the mystery of this.

Combined with the previous act of letting him disintegrate the celebrities of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh secretly, "It's brilliant." '

Looking at his daughter who was extremely shy but not disgusted at all, Cai Yong finally couldn't help shaking it amusedly.

But it is also clear that his little daughter is also old.

After being relieved, Cai Yong made a formal salute, "It is a blessing for a little girl to be favored by Emperor Qin, and Yong should obey."

"Very good." Nangong Xiao nodded slightly and said again, "Bo Jie will go to assist the Qin army in the post-war appeasement work these days, and try to bring in as many famous officials as possible, which will further reduce the conflict between the people and the scholars. , It can also allow the Han people to integrate into the Qin system faster. Someone will pick you up after a while, and you can decide whether to provide resistance after you understand the details of our Qin country’s governance.”

"Thank you Emperor Qin for your compassion, Yong takes command."

After Cai Yong saluted again, he spoke again.

"Dare to ask Emperor Qin, how will the world's aristocratic families deal with it?"

Nangong Xiao said bluntly, "You and I both know the harm of the family and clan, but if there is a family, there will be a family and clan, which cannot be eliminated. What I can do is to let the family be bound by the law. Treat them with sincerity, and if you don’t want to, cut off their family wealth, give them light servitude for a few years, and then return them to freedom.”

"The Emperor Qin is merciful."

Nangong Xiao shook his head, "It's not about kindness, it's just a helpless act."

Aristocratic families and clans are actually similar to capitalists. Without restraint, there is no limit to how much harm they can do. But as long as the "that" time of human society has not come, it is impossible for aristocratic families and capitalists to disappear, and it is almost impossible to be eliminated.

However, it is possible to constrain and guide through power, so that the mercenary plans of the aristocratic families and capitalists can be used to benefit the country and the people.

So even if it is a family in this world, Nangong Xiao did not intend to eliminate it, but to accept it, and take advantage of the change of dynasty to impose various rules on these families, and it is the kind of imposition of Shunchang's rebellion.

For example, after the land is re-measured and registered in the register, anyone with more than a certain amount of land will no longer enjoy the non-agricultural tax policy, but must pay the commercial tax, plus some means of "tweeting orders" and powerful enforcement. , basically can disintegrate the current batch of extremely cohesive families.

And in the future, if the aristocratic family revives again, as long as the state machinery of Daqin does not have problems and is not eroded by the aristocratic family and capitalists, then there is no possibility of jumping out of the constraints.

In fact, the dangers of aristocratic families and capitalists were very clear before Nangong Xiao founded the country, and because of this, he was more determined to take the road of a limited constitutional monarchy.

There is no other reason, that is, the loose democratic system is easily eroded by aristocratic families and capitalists.The powerful monarchy can reverse the so-called "public opinion" at critical moments to stop this erosion.

(The biggest problem with an overly loose democratic system is that it cannot limit the emergence of money politics. Once it appears, the so-called "public opinion" will only become a tool for the aristocratic families and capitalists to fiddle with. This can be seen in the present Greater America)

And Nangong Xiao has personally experienced this kind of thing. For example, during the decades in the fifth world (Dark Lolita), there were capital forces trying to infiltrate the politics of Qin. Fortunately, they discovered it early and were pinched by Nangong Xiao and the cabinet. Died in the cradle, otherwise Qin might be in a situation where all kinds of ghosts and snake gods come on stage after you sing and we come on stage.

As for the corruption of the imperial power, Nangong Xiao was confident that he would not know it, but he also had no ability to guarantee the character of his successor, but he became the longevity species, and this hidden danger gradually disappeared.

However, it does not mean that he will not fall, so there is a cabinet with real power.

At the same time, Nangong Xiao also tried to interfere with the substantive administrative power as little as possible, and tried to turn the power of the imperial power into the last "brake" of the country, with the intention of emergency braking only when there was a problem with the country's grand strategy.

Judging from the current situation, the arrangements and assumptions he made are all developing in a benign way, which can be regarded as confirming that there is not much problem with his national structure.

Back to business.

Cai Yong took the "helpless move" in Nangong Xiao's words deeply. After all, as long as people still have selfish desires, there will be families and clans gathered by family affection and interests, but it is impossible for everyone to be a saint. The situation, it can only use the so-called 'helpless'.

Knowing this in his heart, Cai Yong couldn't help calling out "Zhen Mingjun too." '

Chapter 1087

Even Cai Yong couldn't help thinking that if the Han court had such a Ming emperor in power, how would the great Han world end up in a situation where the building was about to collapse.

It's a pity that it's too late now, even if Liu Han becomes Mingjun again, it's meaningless.

Sighing a little in his heart, Cai Yong asked some questions about "Three Kingdoms", and Nangong Xiao also answered them one by one.

Cai Yan on the side was confused, but she didn't care too much, after all, the little girl didn't care about 'academic' issues at all.

She who had just begun to fall in love was suddenly destined for life today, and the partner was still a monarch, which made it difficult for her to calm down.

However, under the influence of "parents' order" and the atmosphere of big man's marriage, she didn't feel any disgust, and even couldn't help but feel a little bit secretly happy.

As for marrying an 'old emperor' or something, she didn't feel much about it. After all, there are many such things in history books, and this one in front of her doesn't look like an 'old emperor', and she likes her appearance and temperament. , just this, she is satisfied.

Yes, satisfied, in this respect, she is really simple now.

Nangong Xiao and Cai Yong talked in detail for a while, and the person Nangong Xiao said came to pick Cai Yong up.

Cai Yong was straightforward, he could go directly with the officials of the Qin Army and the People's Government. As for his daughter, he planned to let her wait for him at home, but before he left, Nangong Xiao said.

"Bo Jie, don't worry about Zhao Ji, I will bring Zhao Ji with me, when the time comes, you can go to Chengtianxin's Cai Mansion to find Zhao Ji."

"..."

This statement made Cai Yong's eyes twitch, Cai Yan blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.

The officials of the Qin army and the people's government also looked around, pretending not to hear.

It's not surprising that His Majesty the Emperor took action on "historical celebrities". After all, it is well known that His Majesty the Emperor has the "widow's disease".

don't care~ don't care~~

"Phew...that's it, I have to take care of Qin Huang."

In the end, Cai Yong could only say so.

No way, he also wanted to say that this was not in line with etiquette, but he didn't know Qin's etiquette, and there were outsiders at this time, so it was not easy to refute the king's face, so he could only let it go.

Not long after, after Cai Yong left with the officials of the Qin Army and the People's Government, Nangong Xiao smiled and looked at Cai Yan who was still sitting with his head bowed.

"Shoji."

"Eh, ah, at..."

Cai Yan responded in a panic, that Hong Dandan's little face is really very attractive.

Nangong Xiao shook his head amusedly, but said, "I'm going north in the afternoon, you can go with me."

"No..." Cai Yan bowed without any objection.

"Zhaoji, why don't you ask me why I went north?"

"This... the emperor has his own decision. It's just that the concubine thinks that the emperor should bring more followers, and don't run around alone like yesterday... the one who is the emperor should be... uh..."

Cai Yan shut up suddenly as she was speaking, and carefully peeked at someone, only to see that someone was looking at her with a smile on her face, and there was no sign of anger because of her open mouth, which made her Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but that undisguised love also made her face even hotter.

"That's not necessary." Of course, Nangong Xiao would not be angry with this young daughter-in-law, but she didn't continue to tease this immature little guy, but nodded and said, "I have made arrangements for safety issues, don't worry, don't look I run around outside by myself, and if necessary, a guard will show up in the blink of an eye."

Hearing what Nangong Xiao said, the little girl couldn't help being sweet in her heart, but she also bowed, "It's Meng Lang who is a concubine."

Nangong Xiao shook his head, and said, "Zhaoji, you can go out with me for a few days, and after returning to Chengtian, you can go to Chengtian Academy to study."

"study?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Nangong Xiao with doubts and disbelief.

Nangong Xiao said, "My concubines all have their own... Well, their achievements include business, politics, or Confucian literary circles. I never forbid my concubines to realize their ambitions, and I encourage them even more. Women hold up half the sky."

"?!!"

The little girl's eyes widened, and at the same time her heartbeat became a little more intense.

There is no way, although the confinement of women in the late Han Dynasty was not as good as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it is as difficult as going to the sky to enter the house.

In addition to Cai Yan in the Han Dynasty, only Ban Zhao in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty made a name for himself among scholars.

Ban Zhao was vigorous, but with his true talents and learning, he made a great way among scholars, and even won the title of "Master Cao".

(Ban Zhao’s husband’s surname is Cao, and the Han Dynasty had the habit of following her husband’s name. By the way, in ancient times, tabooing the emperor’s name was a taboo for strangers, not for deceased people. Therefore, Cai Yan’s taboo about Sima Zhao may really be a rumor The source of this possibility is that although Cai Yan’s birth and death dates are unknown, he must have been born between 174-178, while Sima Zhao died in 265 and became emperor a few months later. It has to be counted from this time. In other words, unless Cai Yan in history lived to be eight or ninety years old, there is no way to talk about the taboo.)

Not everyone can get the honor of 'everyone'. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, only those with top knowledge and reputation are eligible to be called 'everyone'.

Cai Yong was known as "Master Cai".

And who is Cai Yong?That is the entire Lingdi Dynasty, except for the lower class commoners, everyone is a scholar who is known to everyone.

This shows how powerful Ban Zhao is.

However, "The Commandments for Women" was written by Ban Zhao.

What is "The Commandment for Women"?It is the thing that advocates the 'three obediences and four virtues'.

In a certain sense, because Ban Zhao's "The Commandments for Women" was widely circulated, at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was even more difficult for Han women to enter the elegant hall.It also indirectly stifled Ban Zhao's influence in gaining the recognition of the patriarchal society by relying on his own ability, thereby improving the status of women.

And from the fact that "The Commandments for Women" can be widely spread and integrated into the social consensus, we can see how low the status of women was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Also affected by this social atmosphere, a woman like Cai Yan who is knowledgeable and likes to be knowledgeable is basically doomed to have no future.Even, if Cai Yong hadn't been enlightened, maybe Cai Yan wouldn't even have the chance to read books, let alone show off his ambitions.

Because of this, when Cai Yan suddenly heard that she could go to school to study and realize her ambitions after entering the palace, she couldn't help but get excited.

Even, he couldn't help but asked weakly, "Is the emperor trying to fool me?"

Nangong Xiao shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, this is the ethos of my Daqin. As for the details, you will have to experience it later, so I won't say more."

Cai Yan was even more excited when he heard the words, but quickly restrained his emotions, and bowed to salute, "Thank you, Emperor, for your kindness!"

"Come on, come on, there's no need to clean up. You just take a few sets of laundry clothes and we'll set off."

"No!" Cai Yan responded, and with joy, hurriedly ordered the maid to clean up with her...

Chapter 1088 Raiders Progress

On March [-]th in the third year of Qin Taichu and September [-]th in the fifth year of Han Zhongping, Qin attacked Yangzhou in Han Dynasty, and the governor Chen Wen was captured in one day.

Afterwards, the Qin army went out to appease the people, collected the refugees, conducted a thorough census, re-measured the land, issued new regulations, and sent more than [-] ideological and political personnel to the counties and counties and down to the villages to do their best to popularize the law and guide the people.

There are also chambers of commerce such as Taihe stationed in, selling food and various daily necessities at a low price, coupled with the official strategy of the Qin State to help the people with work, established phased infrastructure, agricultural reclamation, animal husbandry and other companies, and began to recruit people in all directions, etc. Wait, let the Yangzhou incident be in order in a short time.

In fact, at the beginning, the Qin army descended like a heavenly soldier, but it scared the officials and people of Yangzhou to death, especially the thing that can make people fly into the sky, which makes people fear ghosts and gods.

However, after Qin Jun's comprehensive science popularization, people gradually put these ghosts and gods on top of the Mohist mechanism techniques they knew and imagined.

After all, the Mohism mechanism has been widely spread among the people for a long time, and it has been passed down as a miraculous skill, and there are rumors of mechanism puppets that make people fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and walk on their own without eating or drinking.

Although this is considered a misunderstanding, in essence, modern or future applications of science and technology really do not depart from the concept of mechanics.

Because whether it is modern technology or Mohist mechanism, they are essentially tools made by humans.

And when people gradually learned about the excellent military discipline of the Qin army and the cumbersome but not harsh "Qin Law", the ordinary Yangzhou people quickly accepted the fact that Yangzhou was captured by the Qin State.

Although the fact of becoming a subjugated slave made the people of Yangzhou feel a little uncomfortable for a while, but for the vast majority of low-level people who generally can't even write their own names, the impact is really not that big.

Even the measures such as the exemption of agricultural tax and the abolition of corvee by the Qin State made the people of Yangzhou unable to help but look forward to a new life.

The demands of the lower-level people who can't read or write are really simple, and sometimes they can even be so simple that a full meal is enough.

However, the corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty court and the aristocratic families who have fallen to greed are not even willing to satisfy this little bit of folk demands, and they let the huge Han local people be displaced under the ravages of natural disasters and man-made disasters. body, and finally had to take the risk.

The result is that the Yellow Turbans will rise one after another, the bandits will gather and disperse as usual, and more ambitious people will take advantage of the chaos, such as the chaos in Liangzhou, the chaos in central Shu, and the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in Yuyang, and the rebellion in Shanyue. Wait, so that the current Han-Tu war is raging.

Although in Yangzhou, apart from the banditry and the Yellow Turbans, there are only Shanyue riots. On the whole, the people of Yangzhou can barely get by, but it does not mean that they are willing to live in this environment.

Now that there is a better living environment in front of them, and the "rumor" is that the previous dynasty will be revived, the people will not have much psychological burden.

This is true for the common people at the bottom, but it does not mean that the same is true for the aristocratic families and celebrities.
