Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu said calmly: "Miaoyin, I think most of the children of noble families are those who have read poetry and books, and they should be more polite and righteous than ordinary people. It does not mean that they are deprived of everything and nationalized, but to be in the country and To find a balance between families, it is impossible to say that because the ancestors have contributed to the country, the descendants will be able to reap for nothing, enslave and control others forever, and can forever use the land and resources that originally belonged to the country and the people of the world. It has been appropriated from generation to generation.”

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "We have discussed this point countless times. To be honest, many noble families have already changed their minds and accepted your point of view, but some families are still unwilling to give up their previous interests. After all, It’s human nature to like to do something for nothing, and it’s not something you can change. Everyone knows the truth in those books, but it’s another matter if it’s your turn.”

Liu Yu sighed: "This matter is beyond their control. For a hundred years after the Great Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic clansmen began to make great contributions to the country and protected the people, so it was right for them to enjoy these treatments that were far superior to others."

"But now a hundred years have passed, and the world has changed a long time ago. The descendants of the families who once made great contributions to the country have now become the people who possess the most resources in the country and do the most harm to the country. If we want to avoid the disaster of the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, we can only Start now, start with yourself, spit out the things that the aristocratic family should not possess, return it to the country, and return it to the people of the world."

Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Although the truth is correct, this is after all, it is to grab the things in other people's hands, things that have been regarded as right and proper for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for people to have no idea. Brother Yu, over the years, In fact, even Mu Zhi and I don’t fully agree with these ideas of yours, but we still do it for you out of trust in you, but it doesn’t mean that others can do the same.”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Miaoyin, I don't think what Ji Nu said is too much. It's not to deprive the noble family of everything. It is Tianshidao who wants to do this. Everything, whether it was the land or the tenants, were all robbed, and even the lives of the children of the aristocratic family were taken away. It was the slaves who protected them, drove away the demon thief, saved the country and saved the family at the same time. This is a life-saving grace. ."

Wang Miaoyin said solemnly: "Saving life is saving life, it does not mean that everything has to be handed over. In the eyes of many children of aristocratic families, these lands, tenant farmers are the inheritance left to them by their fathers and grandparents, even if they don't want their own lives, they can't Losing these foundations, handing them over to others. Some things can be negotiated, such as the resignation of titles, and no longer hereditary officials, but land and tenant farmers are related to the basic interests of future survival, and many people are still reluctant to give up."

Liu Yu said sternly: "These are the property of the state, the public interest, not the private interest of their family. Miaoyin, the national law of the Jin Dynasty, all the land belongs to the state and is distributed by the emperor, not the family can have it for generations. right."

Wang Miaoyin's brows wrinkled: "These are just laws on the surface, in fact..."

Liu Yu interrupted her and continued: "In fact, for many years, the aristocratic clans have taken advantage of their high positions and the convenience of being in power to take the lead in making these laws and practices false, turning the land and population that belonged to the state into My own family even thinks this is a matter of course and righteousness. With land and tenant farmers, the taxes that should be paid to the state normally seem to be given to the state by them.”

"Ordinary little people, peasants work all year round in order to pay taxes to the country, and their children have to join the army to serve the country and die in battle. And the children of aristocratic families with the most land and resources, as long as they have a document in the army, they can follow the army. , you can get more in return than others' bloodshed. Do you think this is fair, wonderful sound? Is it something that those of us who hold power should allow?"

These words of Liu Yu are righteous and serious, and they are deafening. Even if they are as eloquent as Wang Miaoyin, they are speechless. They can only sigh and say quietly: "Brother Yu, you have taken the Righteousness, but these involve the darkest self-interested part of human nature. Even if the truth is on your side, they are unwilling to do it. You have a moral high point, but you have the ability to govern the country and collect taxes. Only they have it, if there is a stalemate, the final loss will be the country and the people."

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So, I have to make concessions and continue to allow them to enjoy the benefits and benefits that exceed ordinary people. Even if their children join the army, they will be credited, and they will continue to occupy a lot of land, attracting many landless people. I can only acquiesce to the peasant households in the peasantry. But these are only expedient measures. Because no commoner children can fully govern the country, I can only make concessions for the time being, but this does not mean that this will always be the case in the future. At least this time , in the land of Qilu, I can no longer follow the way of the land of Wu. There must be a new atmosphere and new changes."

Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth: "Because now there are people from Murong's Ministry fighting, and there are Han people in Qingzhou who can govern, so are you going to use these people to replace the Southern family that has always served you?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "Miaoyin, everyone contributes to the country. While contributing to the country, they also seek benefits for their own family and small family, not for me, Liu Yu. You have to figure this out. The country belongs to everyone. It's not someone's, it's not my Liu Yu's, it's not your Xie family's. Enjoy the blessings together, take the troubles together, and act in accordance with the laws of the country, this is what we should do. The greater the contribution, the greater the benefit. , but it does not mean that these interests can be occupied from generation to generation. It does not mean that these interests only belong to aristocratic families and have nothing to do with the common people.”

Wang Miaoyin said coldly: "But now, I have only seen the Murong Ministry, which was defeated and destroyed by the war. The Han people in Nanyan have benefits and benefits, but the Wudi family who supported the war for a year seems not to have. What benefits and benefits do you get? Apart from the military merits and titles you mentioned, you just took over the pastures of the Hu people of the Murong clan, and it was only lent by the state to them for ten or fifteen years. It's not always possible to have it. The barbarian cavalry you want to recruit has also been rejected by you. Then how do you want me to explain to the noble family who support us? If they are not satisfied this time, will they be so active next time? "

Liu Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "What I really want is to use the power of the national warehouse and Ding Zhuang, the country's normal expedition, for the next northern expedition, instead of asking for others like this time!"
