Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Xi actually knew what the big families meant. Chen Xi also understood what Yang Feng said. In fact, many problems can be seen from the fact that the big families took the initiative to set up education, that is, they also knew that they needed large-scale brains. Knowledgeable men.

The problem is that this large scale, in the eyes of the major aristocratic families, is at the level of millions, because every intellectual who masters technology and wisdom needs to enjoy corresponding treatment in this era, and the aristocratic families take the initiative to let go of knowledge The monopoly of education, in fact, also means that they take the initiative to release part of the benefits to feed these people.

The positioning of these people is that of the people of the country during the Spring and Autumn Period. These people clearly stated that they hold certain powers and belong to the country in the true sense. To put it simply, they have shares in this country. The shares are not high. But enough to avoid many problems.

As for the evolutionary version of the Chinese people, Rome is just next door. Now that Pompianus is about to go to heaven, there is still no way to solve the problem of Roman revenue. He can only set up enterprises belonging to the country by himself, and then make money for the country. There is absolutely no such thing as tax reform. possible.

Because of the Roman citizenship system, after peeling off the skin, internal interests are intertwined.

The simplest point is the Roman tax system. As the first citizen, the boss will distribute the tax approved this year to the elders, and the elders will distribute it to their own or more reliable knights, and the knights will subcontract to other citizens. Other citizens are taxed by photo zone.

It seems difficult, and there is no clear benefit, right? But it is actually like this. If the Roman Empire gets one billion sesterces, the elders will transfer 1.5 billion to the knights. For bugs like knights, there is no need for veterans to handle them. The head of his own legion directly locks the tax collection rights of several provinces.

Later, the knight class subcontracted a fixed amount of tax to ordinary citizens, saying that they needed to pay 2 billion in taxes, and the citizens also collected a little for themselves in the subdivision area. In the end, it was not a big problem to exceed 3 billion.

Therefore, the so-called Roman citizens paid taxes. From a certain point of view, they did pay taxes, but how the money came from was the same thing. Therefore, Roman citizens strongly supported the citizenship system.

After all, the family has an army, is armed, has national policy support, and collects taxes by area. Of course, life is good. This is why Roman citizens were either small landlords or workshop owners for a while. It was not that they were hardworking and capable, but that they had Tens of millions of exploited objects.

Similarly, this is why Pompianus dared to confront a group of senators in the Senate, and he did not dare to engage in any tax reform. He could not even mention it. If I don't kill you, the ashes are your ashes.

This is the horror of the Roman citizenship system, and in the past, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese system in the Central Plains was almost the same, but in the end this system also collapsed, the reason is very simple, because of various reasons, the divided interests of the upper class are not enough to support .

It can be said that unless it becomes a Roman system where the whole country supports citizens, the national system will collapse sooner or later, and the reason for the collapse is simple, there is not enough interest to maintain it.

Chen Xi also understands this truth. The major families can accept millions of Chinese people, treat them as a transitional layer between the family and the common people, and share the benefits that millions of people should have, but the major families absolutely cannot accept the above. Tens of millions of people.

Because when everyone is Chinese, their previous promises cannot be fulfilled. The Yuan family gave a series of things such as a hundred acres of fertile land, housing placement, children's education, and maternity subsidies to the people who migrated to the Han Dynasty. .

Even if the other families were not as exaggerated as the Yuan family, they all made promises to the common people and provided subsidies step by step to avoid things that they could not afford to support.

After all, after experiencing a series of disputes caused by the collapse of the system from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the major families tried their best to make up for the shortcomings of this system before restarting. Year.

But the problem is that the Chinese system is doomed to have people being exploited, and there must be enough exploited people to support the Chinese people they promote, so the scale must be controlled, and Chen Xi's way, they can't support them.

The basis for them to divide these levels is knowledge, technology, and ability. Their own plan is to educate millions of people, promote millions of outstanding people from them, and establish this transitional layer. It is much better, but it is just the bonus of following the founding of the country together, rather than giving the opportunity to change the destiny.

It can be replaced by Chen Xi, who gradually pulls 20 million people into this cultivation framework, then all people will have the opportunity to change their destiny. Under such circumstances, big problems will arise.

This is not a question of exploitation or not, but a more realistic one. If you learn enough knowledge to change your destiny, if you don’t change your destiny, the country and society will not be able to realize the meaning of so-called knowledge. What will happen in this situation?

More than half of the family leaders in the small group understand what this means—strong social change, because it is not one or two people who are dissatisfied with society, but people of an era who are all dissatisfied with the knowledge they have learned through hard work. feel dissatisfied.

"The revolution of heaven and earth is formed in four seasons, and the revolution of Tang and Wu follows the sky and responds to people." Yuan Da said quietly, if he learns and does not get the corresponding treatment, it will only cause trouble.

"The Xiangli family's electric motor I just mentioned, didn't old Yuan Gong notice it?" Chen Xi sighed and said, "I know what you are thinking about, in fact, I guess Hongnong Yang's who was the first to speak before , I should not worry at all about ordinary people surpassing you in knowledge and wisdom after receiving education."

"My family should be the first to take the initiative to provide popular education to the people." Yang Feng said coldly.

As the first group of Yangs who went out and drank grass porridge in the winter, they were indeed the first to give popular education to the people. When they were in Central Asia, Yang Qi said that at the beginning they educated the people just to give Chen Xi an explanation. But then they took the initiative to continue it.

The first to propose unified management of elementary school children, the first to create a boarding school, the first to concentrate the superior manpower of the family, and to educate the Yang family's heirs and common people's heirs in a unified way, etc., so that the Yang family can escape from the semi-disabled and stand in the forefront of the family again , The family is not without some stubble.

"If our conditions can be exceeded, then as you said, the other party is naturally qualified to stand by our side." Chen Ji said plainly.

"I think so too." Liu Bei said suddenly, "Even if the things you teach are the same, I don't think you will end the education of the sons of the aristocratic family and the cultivation of the sons of the legitimate sons. It's more important than some knowledge."

"I also think so. Some people's thinking, even with the same wisdom, are two concepts. Are you right, Chen Hou." Liu Tong said quietly.

Most of the people in the small group showed conceit. If they didn't even have this bit of self-confidence, they still have the qualifications to stand in the current position.

"It seems that most of them have this self-confidence." Chen Xi said with a faint smile. Chen Shang had said this to Chen Xi before. The reason, or the root cause, is definitely not this.

Yuan Da and the others turned their heads to look at Zhen Yan. They wanted to kick Zhen Yan out of the group. How could there be such a waste? Without the hereditary official position of two thousand shi, your Zhen family really became a waste?

Zhen Yan smiled with difficulty, and he didn't want to, his father died early, and he was not a legitimate son, so he didn't receive the education he deserved. Hell.

"Actually, we have already said what we disagree with. Are we worthy? Are we worthy of suppressing these people?" Yang Feng said calmly. He said from the beginning that he was worthy or not, and his attitude was very clear. It just doesn't deserve it.

"It's really not worthy." Chen Xi was silent for a while, and admitted the fact.

"We can't suppress them in terms of ability, and we have no way to fulfill the promise we made to them. The former is Jin and the latter is Qi. Even if we harbor evil intentions, the essential reason is that we are not worthy of such a scale." Yang Feng said in a tone. It's peaceful, but somewhat sarcastic.

"Mechanical energy can be used as a supplement for production, but not as a supplement for the soul." Hanoi Zhang Zhao said with a sigh, he already understood what Yang Feng meant, "Chen Hou can't change the idea of ​​being an official, right? The purpose of learning is for most people. People are where we are now."

"Splitting." Chen Xi sighed, and couldn't help feeling the viciousness of this group of people's eyes. Even after a thousand years, the essence of certain things has not changed.

"From the moment of education diversion, the students' future development direction and their future position are determined?" Xun Shuang understood Chen Xi's meaning almost instantly, "If this is the case, I disagree, this is not Confucianism, Not lawful, knowledge is used to change destiny, not to bind life!"

Yang Feng laughed directly, he didn't realize what Chen Xi meant, but Xun Shuang's words made Yang Feng understand Chen Xi's original intention.

But as Xun Shuang said, what is this? This is not Confucianism, neither teaching students according to their aptitude, nor teaching without discrimination, nor Legalism, neither fair nor just.

No chance to get in touch with knowledge, that is the problem of knowledge monopoly, but when all kinds of knowledge are released, they do not have the power to choose. Sorry, we have recognized from the beginning that people are people, not numbers, nor tools!
