Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4228: Wealth does not start from scratch

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming sneered and said, "So what I'm thinking of is to hand over the post of guardian of the Mafia to a new group of emerging gentry and emerging families who have started from scratch. Except for Yu Yue, the other three are Your old acquaintances, old comrades-in-arms, they are all very eager to join an organization like Mafia, don't you know the reason?

Liu Yu's heart moved, but his face remained calm. He looked at Tao Yuanming and said calmly: "Then tell me why? Are they all dissatisfied with me personally?

"From the beginning, you and Tao Yuanming laughed: they are not the same people. Although it seems that you are not willing to be ordinary, you want to struggle and build achievements, but the purpose is different. Your achievements are for your ideals. And their meritorious deeds are for themselves and for the wealth and honor of their own families.”

Tao Yuanming stood up, looked directly at Liu Yu's piercing eyes, and said sharply: "So, what you want to destroy, to overthrow, to put it bluntly, is the system that allows them to get rich, what you want to destroy is the After fighting for it all their lives, they want to enjoy the wealth and the privilege of passing on to their children and grandchildren. From the very beginning, it is destined that they will stand against you sooner or later and become your enemy instead of your comrade-in-arms.

Liu Yu's mind was spinning rapidly. Although he was very clear about these cruel truths, even Liu Muzhi had never told him so bluntly. Until today, he knew that Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi had also joined the underworld. After Qiankun, to be honest, he was somewhat shocked, and even felt a little bit of disillusionment, just like the pain that went deep into his heart, lungs and soul when he saw Murong Lan betray him for the first time in Shouchun City.

Tao Yuanming saw that Liu Yu didn't speak, he felt complacent, and sneered, "You say I'm an imaginary person, unrealistic, but don't you yourself? You use wealth and power to attract your brothers to join you Struggle, but the result of the struggle is to establish a world where others will replace them, so that their power and wealth cannot be passed on, and blame your brother for not being of the same heart as you?

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I didn't stop them from gaining wealth through hard work. In fact, Meng Yanda, Xu Xianzhi and the others, especially Liu Xile, have not achieved almost the wealth of an extremely high-ranking minister through half-life hard work? What else? ? But does this mean that they can pass on their current power and wealth to their descendants from generation to generation? Then we will become people like Yin Hao and live the way we hate the most!

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "There is no way, this is human nature. People in positions of power only think about their own descendants, and those people who are not related to them. People who talk about all the people in the world all day long look like saints, but in fact they are just hypocritical, deceiving the world and stealing their names. When he said this, Tao Yuanming paused: "But in my opinion, you Liu Yu and Liu Jinu are really real. You really want to be a saint, and you really want to benefit all people, but unfortunately, in this chaotic world, there are too few people who can share the same goals with you, too few, probably except Liu Muzhi and Murong Lan, no one really loves you. I agree with you. Even Wang Miaoyin must first consider the interests of the Xie family. And these comrades-in-arms and comrades who have fought all your life, also want to pass on wealth to their descendants after they are in power. This is Meng Chang, Liu Yi, Xu Xianzhi The reason why you joined the Mafia is because what they want is to become a new family and control power forever, but what you want is to destroy the family so that the common people can be successful. Your real enemy is not the barbarians, but yours. Comrade-in-arms subordinates, brother!"

Liu Yu suddenly laughed loudly: "What you said seems reasonable, but you still overlooked the most important point, that is, I did not deprive these brothers of mine of their wealth, nor did I say that I must take back their power, so that the Their descendants start from scratch just like ordinary people, join the army and work hard again like us.

"I gave them enough starting advantages, so that they can inherit the titles of their parents, so that they can receive good cultural education and martial arts training from an early age, so that they can have a group of assistants and tribes who can help them with martial arts, isn't that right? Wealth, isn't this power?

"Just because I don't let their father be a general, my son can be a general as soon as he grows up, and if I don't let their father be a prime minister, my son must also be a prime minister, so I will turn against me? I can't stand me? If anyone even I can't stand this, so

I am not worthy to be a brother or a comrade-in-arms with Liu Yu, even if I become an enemy, I have no hesitation, let alone feel a pity!

Liu Yu spoke righteously, and his voice was even more deafening. Even Tao Yuanming couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he took two steps back unconsciously, completely losing the momentum just now, until Liu Yu finished speaking After the voice echoed in the hall for a while, Tao Yuanming curled his lips and said, "But you can't guarantee that their power will be inherited from generation to generation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will shrink a lot every time it is passed on. If it is not done well, after three generations, they may become a rich man in the countryside. Will they accept it?

Liu Yu said coldly: "If you don't accept it, you have to accept it. If you have so many advantages that you can't compete with others, then you don't deserve this position. I don't object to having a family or a noble family continue to hold power, but you can't It's the kind of person who occupies the latrine and doesn't shit, and who has no talent and wants to suppress other talented people.

Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused and looked at Tao Zhangming: "It's like you, Mr. Tao, if your chances of getting ahead are all given to those aristocratic families, and you are suppressed by those who are more powerful than you, Can you be convinced? After you took office, you wanted to pass on power to your descendants from generation to generation, even if they don’t have your skills and can’t write poems well, so you feel satisfied? It’s like your sons , the poetry is not very good either.”

This hit touched Tao Yuanming's sore spot, his face blushed slightly, and he turned to resist and said: "Knowing sons is better than father, if they don't have that ability, I won't let them come out to be officials and occupy other people's places, besides, I'm a white man now." , Powerless, what can it bring them? Liu Yu, I don't want to talk to you so much, but I will tell you one thing, that is, the reason why Yin Zhongkan was defeated was because he had no power in Jingzhou. Power, no relatives and family members can help him. When the disaster is imminent, all the subordinates will scatter and surrender. No one can really help him. That's why he asked me for help. He wanted to count on my Tao clan to help him break out and give him food and grass!
