Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 3800: Talent without virtue will bring disaster to the country

Liu Yu said sternly: "Didn't you say it all? The Murong Clan's pastures in Qingzhou were nationalized, and the land of the Han people and powerful families remained unchanged for the time being. Then these state-owned ranches were managed by the aristocratic families, and the Murong Clan's ranch was owned by the Murong Clan. The clansmen are allocated to various pastures, but the pastoral areas and cattle and sheep are not allocated, which is regarded as a lease of state-owned resources to use, and they have to rely on the military merits and rewards of fighting to save money to buy a property.”

Wang Miaoyin frowned: "Also, I want to listen to your overall plan, not only in Qingzhou, but in the entire Great Jin after the war."

Liu Yu said indifferently: "The next five to ten years will be the period of pacifying the world and regaining lost territory in the Northern Expedition. It will also be a period of cooperation and mutual benefit between our two groups, the civil and military groups of the Jin Dynasty. Starting with interests will not change the current model. You can still let your aristocratic families join the army or supply military supplies, so as to make meritorious deeds. With the title, you can get more land, and you can absorb landless refugees, newly conquered people, these I can keep it all."

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Is the power in the court still the current distribution model?"

Liu Yu replied: "Yes, the power in the DPRK will still be shared by the aristocratic families and the Eighth Party in the next few decades. As for the officials and new scholars trained in the future, because they have not made meritorious contributions, they cannot enter directly. Chaotang, I will arrange for them to do the most difficult and basic-level work in the newly conquered and newly recovered areas. Presumably your children from aristocratic families will not look down on these small officials. For example, after going deep into the countryside in Qingzhou, When the village chief, Lizheng, face hundreds of people from different places, even people of different races, are you willing?"

The corner of Wang Miaoyin's mouth ticked: "The task is arduous, the risks are numerous, and the benefits are very small. These are thankless things, and I am afraid that few children from aristocratic families are willing to do them."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "Then do you think someone will do it?"

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Of course the children of noble families will not do it, because they can live well without being such an outcast. But for ordinary scholars, it is difficult to say. Especially that kind of family that is down in the road. Those from poor families, and now there are hundreds of thousands of people in the newly established schools and township schools. They can't even afford the tuition fees. The state pays them to learn how to collect taxes at the grassroots As long as you can persevere in the matter of Ding, and the method of persuading Nongsang to teach you, you will definitely not let what you have learned be useless."

Liu Yu nodded: "Very good, when you become an official, you have the possibility to become an official. If you have an official status, you will have the status of a scholar, and you can be exempted from military service and tax reduction in the future. Diao Kui framed me and took my position as official, and since then I have to pay taxes for the whole family of four, which is unsustainable, so I joined the army with you."

Liu Muzhi laughed: "I'm better than you, I married a daughter of an aristocratic family, and I can also be exempted from military service. However, we were all poor back then, and we were unwilling to engage in farming and business, so we had to join the army. To earn money and subsidize the family, to be honest, if the Beifu Army’s salaries were three times that of ordinary troops, we would not have thought about supporting our families with this salaries.”

Liu Yu sighed and looked at Wang Miaoyin: "Look, why did we join the army back then? As a lady from a high-ranking aristocratic family, you don't know. If you married me like that back then, I'm afraid it's not necessarily a good thing to have to endure hardship with me. ."

Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Not to mention that if you completed the marriage contract with me back then, you must have come to Xie's house, not me. Even if you take a step back, Lord Xianggong promised that I would enter your Liu's door. You will definitely take this into consideration, and give me a large and generous dowry for personal use, no matter what, you won't let me suffer with you."

Liu Yu shook his head: "If you enter my Liu's house, you must share weal and woe with us. I won't accept donations from outside. If that's the case, I might as well be your son-in-law of Xie's house."

Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "This is not a matter of life, but involves the dignity and face of the Xie family. If you are the future talent that our Xie family looks up to and the husband-in-law recruited against all opinions, even your wife's daily life. If life can’t be maintained, then our Xie family will no longer be able to lead the family. Soon, you will no longer have a chance in the army. If someone like Wang Guobao and Diao Kui are in charge of the army, will you still have a bright future? I’m afraid I can't even save my life. Brother Yu, people have to bow their heads to reality, no matter how ambitious they are, when they are not strong enough, they have to give in to those who should give in, just like our marriage contract, which has to be terminated in the end."

Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, even now, we have to make concessions to each other and find a future that both parties can accept. I know that what we need now is unity, a noble family, including the ideas of our eight brothers in Beijing, need Time will slowly turn around. In the future, those scholars who want to stand out can start to get a lot of low-level titles after serving as officials for many years and making contributions. At this time, the real change will be made by your aristocratic family. when."

Wang Miaoyin said indifferently: "That depends on the future development. Maybe, the high-ranking family will start early, and before these low-level scholars start to gain momentum, they will be brought under the sect and become guests and staff. These are not under your control. of."

Liu Yu laughed: "Even so~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it's not a bad thing, after all, a large number of new people have entered the system of power, and they have begun to divide powers to govern the country. In terms of culture and culture, it is impossible for the Eighth Party in Beijing to always have only one place in Jingkou. What I want is such a country, not to say that everyone is equal, but just that everyone has the opportunity to receive education and stand out. As for the size of this opportunity, definitely Not exactly the same."

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "This is a good thing, if the country is to become stronger and stronger, there must be more people with civil and military talents to run the country and secure the country, but, in addition to imparting talents, you also need to establish a stable The system can ensure that these people do not use their talents in wrong places. People like Xi Chao and Huan Xuan, can you say that they have no talents? Talents without virtue are the real troubles in the world.”

Liu Yu said sternly: "When you speak of virtue, do you mean that a stable order has been established like the current noble family, and you are willing to abide by it?"

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "The aristocratic family is not static, it accepts competition and challenges, just like our Xie family, there are ups and downs, but you can guarantee that the newly trained up-and-coming stars like you will be able to do as Lord Xianggong. , temporarily back down for the sake of state affairs, or even give up power? If you can't do this, even if you can't do it yourself, then it's better not to change lightly!"
