Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4220: human nature is so immovable

Xu Xianzhi said calmly: "Yes, this is the only feasible way in my opinion in our lifetime. The problem with the aristocratic families is not that they are at the top of the rulers, but that they occupy this ruling position and cannot provide a steady stream of money. Excellent talents, especially newcomers, young people can't take over, so they need to open the door, and recruit outstanding talents from the lower gentry to enter the aristocratic family.

Liu Yu said coldly: "That is to say, elites of the gentry like Fatty, you, Yanda, or even a warrior like Liu Yi, always want to become the gentry and become a new family, right? ?

Xu Xianzhi nodded: "Yes, especially you Liu Yu, the one who should become the new family should be you, Mrs. Xie, that's what the Xie family meant back then.

Xie Daowen nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xianggong really thinks so, and the depravity of the children of the aristocratic family arranged in this way has made them unable to command the army, and losing control of the army means fundamentally losing power, so borrow Taking the opportunity to form the Beifu Army, we want to recruit talented warriors in the army and include them in the aristocratic family, just like you Xiaoyu, we hope you will become the son-in-law of the Xie family and even want to marry into our Xie family, but it's a pity... .........

Having said that, Xie Daozhu shook his head, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Liu Yulang said: "Your Excellency and Madam probably misunderstood Xiaoyu. I, Liu Yu, am not an unknown person. The genealogy of my ancestors can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty. I struggle in this life because I want to glorify my ancestors. It is impossible to abandon the ancestors and change the name and surname to become a married person.

Xie Daowen smiled slightly: "This is just what we thought before we met you. After all, in this world, there are too many people who want to be the son-in-law of the Xie family. It's just that after seeing you twice, Miaoyin vowed not to marry you. Her heroism is what attracts her the most, and how can a person who can even abandon the surname of his ancestors be a hero, so we changed our strategy later, to support you and give you as much help as possible, Let you remember the kindness of the Xie family, and entrust it to your nephew in the future.

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "In this life, I will never forget Xie's family, my wife's great kindness to me, as for Miaoyin...

When he said this, his face changed slightly, and he sighed, "I can only say that I failed him, it was this damned fate that didn't bring us together.

Liu Yu looked at Xu Xianzhi: "Xianzhi, the fundamental reason why I don't agree with the aristocratic family system is not because of my background, or because of the idea of ​​hating officials and riches, but just because I think everything in this world should be In return, you can’t just rely on your birth, blood can occupy power. The problem of the family is this, not only your nephews are incompetent and depraved, but they also want to hold on to the power, preventing you and me from being a lower-level gentry or warrior You are right, our children and grandchildren may become like the children of the current aristocratic family in the future, lying on our merits, drunk and dreaming, and do not think about making progress.

"When that day really comes, I would rather not have such descendants, I would rather my Liu Yu's descendants become beggars and slaves, and I don't want them to occupy high positions and powers like Wang Guobao, but they will do harm to the country and the people." So, I am not seeking a high-ranking position for my descendants of Liu Yu, but for the common people in the world to find a dignified way to get ahead. Is this also not possible?

Xu Xianzhi nodded: "Your ideals and ambitions are very lofty and beautiful, but such ideals will threaten the current interests of the aristocratic families and cause them losses. Any reforms, any reforms, handle and balance this well. The relationship between old and new forces is a big problem. Since you can't guarantee that your own descendants will not become people like Wang Guobao, why do you want to overthrow all the current rules so easily and start from scratch? Let Jing The eight brothers can become a new family, and then formulate certain rules, allowing the survival of the fittest, allowing everyone to rely on their merits to rise to the top, so that the family and the gentry have a sense of crisis, and can promote the progress of the nephew. This is what you should do.

Liu Yu sighed: "I'm already doing this now, because I have had many long talks with Fatty and Miaoyin about this matter, and seeing the current situation, I know that these ideals cannot be realized out of thin air. You are completely envious of these things. You can have a good discussion and exchange with me, why did you choose to join the underworld, to be my enemy, and

What am I doing right?

"Because you slave, you Meng Changya said quietly: always put yourself in the position of being an enemy of the noble family, and don't think about how to cooperate with them, how to change the thinking of the noble family. Even in the conquest of the South Before Yan, what you thought was still to slowly ban all the aristocratic families, so that everyone is the same, and can make contributions in the same way. This step is too big, and it is too big to be accepted by the world. , and the series of setbacks you are encountering now are all related to your unrealistic thinking.”

Speaking of this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Meng Chang said sternly: "Back then, I went through untold hardships with the bottle and the rabbit, and went south to the Great Jin to become a member of the refugee army. It was not for the ideal of equality for everyone. And it was because we didn't want to conscript the Hulu soldiers and fight the Great Jin, so we were forced to go south. Of course, we also wanted to make meritorious deeds, worship generals, and even become prime ministers. To be honest, today I can Having the current status is really like a dream. In the past, if someone told me that he could become Da Jin's husband, I would definitely think him crazy.

Liu Yu nodded: "We people have today's status, all of us dare not even dream of it when we were young, but if we don't overthrow the aristocratic family that is on our heads, how can we have today?

Meng Chang shook his head: "No, Jinu, you've misunderstood me. I mean, I wanted to become an aristocratic family back then, not to overthrow the aristocratic family. If you only work hard for my own rich future, I can't let you If the descendants of my family enjoy wealth and honor, then why should I bother? With my status as the Meng family, even in the former Qin Dynasty in the north, I was also a prestigious gentry, and I didn’t need to work hard to survive. Because in the barbarian court, it is difficult to become an official as a Han, but in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is such an opportunity.

Speaking of this, Meng Chang took a deep breath: "So, Xi Le and I will hit it off right away, but there is always a distance between you and the first slave you met because he and I are the same way, want to be a nobleman, become a People from aristocratic families.
