    "Actually, even if you don't take the initiative to come, I will invite you here sooner or later"

    Wang Yu's eyes swept over the people standing respectfully on both sides of the seat, and there was no harshness in his voice.

    He has met most of these people for the first time, but among almost two people, there will be a name that he has been familiar with for a long time, such as Xun Yu, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, etc.

    Regardless of whether they represent a prince or just their own family, the meaning of the arrival of these people is almost the same. If all of them can return with satisfaction, the territory newly included in the rule will be settled.  .

    This is an era when the aristocratic clan is about to reach its peak. It is still a little far away from the Wei and Jin Dynasties when there were no humble families in the upper class and no aristocratic clan in the lower class. However, there is no doubt about the unprecedented expansion of the power of the aristocratic clan.

    If you just want the benefits of rapid stability, you will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of the Wei and Jin dynasties; but if you adopt a harsh attitude and use force to persuade, the current good situation is likely to be ruined.

    Fortunately, after such a long period of exploration and discussion, I already have a relatively complete solution.

    After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Yu quickly got to the point.

    "Before I formally discuss the local situation with you, I have a question for you In the four hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Han Dynasty has conquered the south and the north. How majestic it is. Even as far away as Ding Ling and Da Qin, we still know the reputation of the Han Dynasty.  , why has it declined so much in recent years?"

    Everyone at the bottom of the steps lowered their heads and closed their mouths tightly.

    In fact, there is no need to answer this question. Regarding this, the scholars have already reached a conclusion: the relatives are arrogant, the eunuchs are monopolistic, the emperor is ignorant, and gentlemen are not allowed to assert themselves in the court. Therefore, the political situation is chaotic, resulting in the people of the world having no one to follow, and eventually being demonized.  Taken by thieves.

    However, there is a big difference in cognition between the champion and the noble family.  There is a popular saying among scholars that the champion believes that the country is about to perish. Although it has little to do with the emperor, it has little to do with his relatives, eunuchs, and those demons of Taiping Road. The first task of strengthening a country and rejuvenating it is to eradicate it.  A wealthy family.

    No matter how accurate this rumor is, it is not a good idea to speak against the wind. The best way is to listen silently and at least find out what the other party wants to do first.

    "Since I raised my troops in Hanoi, the political strategies implemented in the territory have been changing. The reason is that I have been thinking" Wang Yu was not surprised at all by the silent response of everyone.  However, what he said next also seemed to be telling lies.

    Yes, his attitude towards wealthy families has been changing, but it is not because his thinking is immature, but because of the situation.

    When he first started his army, he was cruel to the noble families. This was not a sign that he hated evil and could not bear to see the sand in his eyes. It was just that Lao Wang Kuang had already offended Hanoi's wealthy families to death. If Dong Zhuo, a public enemy, had not been around, the alliance of princes at that time could have been reversed.  Spearhead, kill him and his father first.

    This is no exaggeration at all. Hanoi is where Guangwu and Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty started their careers. During the more than 100 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hanoi was the strongest in terms of wealthy families.

    ??History, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both very powerful, and they had a convenient location, but no one attacked Hanoi?  Why?  It's because there are too many wealthy families in this place, so there are many constraints on everything you do.  Just put Zhang Yang, who poses no threat, here as a strategic buffer zone.

    For Wang Yu at the time, this was an unforeseen disaster, which caused him a lot of trouble in recruiting talents in the early stages.  However, given the situation at that time, Wang Yu could only go with the flow and carry out the rebellion against the aristocratic family to the end. What else would he do?  Are you going to kneel down and beg for forgiveness?

    When he returns to his hometown in Taishan, he prepares to invade Qingzhou. Considering the special situation of Qingzhou, it is necessary for him to carry out this strategy to the end to win over people's hearts, so he can only continue.

    You can't start to turn around until you defeat Yuan Shao, but this also involves appeasing Zhang Yan.  Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been full of twists and turns.

    Now, Wang Yu can finally express his entire set of ideas without restraint.

    "It should be said that the existence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Although it has a certain influence on the weakening of the country, it is not appropriate to push all the blame away." He said slowly, and everyone present was eaten.  A reassurance.

    Although everyone was prepared to fight tooth and nail while there was still room for improvement in the event that the peace talks failed, the mighty record of the Hussars was really frightening. There was no way out until there was no way out, and no one was willing to fight to the death.  .

    "Smart people like Xun Yu and Kuai Yue showed deep thoughts, thinking about Wang Yu's unfulfilled intentions. It's not that the emperor is fatuous, and he doesn't mention his relatives or eunuchs. Now even aristocratic families can do it.?To absolve oneself of guilt, who is the culprit?  It can't be said that this hussar general is just entertaining everyone, right?

    Fortunately, this time Wang Yu did not continue to be erratic and continued talking directly.

    "I believe that the biggest reason why the country is declining and cannot inherit the ambitions of our ancestors is that the gap between scholars and civilians is too large, so that there is no middle class, which leads to the instability of the country. The slightest disturbance may turn into a catastrophe!"

    "Middle class?"

    "The national system is unstable?"

    "What on earth is this"

    Because of Wang Yu¡¯s method of expressing his emotions first and then suppressing them, everyone could not suppress their emotions for a while. They either asked in surprise or looked at each other with the participants who were close to them.

    Although Wang Yu used a few new terms, it is impossible to say that he did not understand them at all. After all, the people who came here were all important figures in various families. They have seen and learned a lot, so they can be considered outstanding.  The reason why they lost their composure was because Wang Yu's words could easily cause bad associations.

    Wang Yu neither got angry nor had any intention of explaining. He lowered his eyes and said nothing.  It wasn't until everyone felt something was wrong and became quiet again that they raised their eyes, snapped their fingers, and ordered: "Pass the thing down."

    "As ordered." Two people walked out of the staff standing behind them, bowed and obeyed the order, each holding a stack of papers and walked down the Danqi, and distributed the bound books to everyone one by one.

    "The Kaiyuan war decree draft? The Kaiyuan general civil law draft?"

    "Yes, this is the bill that this general has formulated for the future Han Empire based on the principles mentioned by Shicai." Wang Yu waved his hand, indicating that everyone can look through it at will: "You are all well-informed people, especially literary scholars.  Ruo Sir, even with General Cao's vision, he often refers to Xiao He by name, and he happens to be an adviser to me, so please be sure to speak freely without any worries."

    "" Everyone, including Xun Yu, didn't know how to answer. They thought that since Wang Yu said so, everyone might as well take a look at these two new laws first.

    If you guessed correctly, these two new laws should be the national policies of the new dynasty in the future, and the purpose of everyone's coming here is closely related to this.

    Although it is a draft, it is also complete in terms of items. When summarized, there are a total of three chapters, nine sections and seventy-two clauses.  There are so many entries and so many new terms that no one has time to browse them all, so they can just look for the content they care about most.

    "In order to cultivate the middle class, this bill will be established based on the principle of 'participants benefit'"

    "The national policy in the future will focus on external development. In order to gather all the strength, the empire will adopt loose military, political and economic policies"

    "The Empire recognizes the sanctity of personal property"

    Because of the new terminology, even with Xun Yu's talent and learning, it seemed that he was still stumbling, but as he looked at it, his frown relaxed. At least Wang Yu had no intention of forcibly suppressing the wealthy family.

    Although the decrees are separated, the spirit reflected between the lines is consistent.

    According to Xun Yu¡¯s understanding, the so-called middle class is the class between the aristocracy and the common people.  The characteristic of this class is that they are dissatisfied with wealth, but they have enough food and clothing.  As described in the decree, this class will have a great positive effect on social stability.

    Although this point of view is novel to Xun Yu, it is not difficult to understand.  In fact, this is the same as what Guan Zhong said at that time: if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace.

    But it¡¯s not that easy to achieve this goal. The biggest contradiction is that wealth is limited, but people¡¯s desire to acquire wealth is unlimited.  No matter what happened when the country was founded, it will definitely enter a state of saturation in the end and evolve into the situation on the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, where the rich have their warehouses full of grain and the poor have no food and clothing.

    However, Wang Yu put forward a new concept in the decree. He believed that if you blindly focus on the inside, 80% of the time you will fall into the previous cycle. The solution is to turn your attention outside the territory.

    The specific approach is to establish vassal states outside the Central Plains, and the vassal states launch conventional offensives abroad.  If there is a war, it will be dispatched by the Central Plains. In general, a coalition of multiple princes will be formed. In special circumstances, the hussars can also fight.

    This will be a war with an extremely huge span in time and space.

    There is a simple map in the decree, which roughly depicts the terrain of Central Earth and surrounding areas.  In addition, the labels on the next page also briefly indicate the resources that can be produced in each target area, the most conspicuous of which are the dense gold mines on Dongsan Island and several large islands in Southeast Asia.

    Before seeing these two decrees, Xun Yu had no idea about these two areas. He only heard that Wang Yu sent a fleet to the east and brought back a large amount of gold and silver. Looking at it now, it seems that??It's a bluff.

    Gold and silver are just the most conspicuous, there are many other resources.

    For example, the seemingly barren Western Gobi actually produces fine iron. Unlike the iron mines in the Central Plains, the fine iron in the Western Regions does not need to be calcined with fierce fires. High-quality iron tools can be forged with cold forging.  In addition to the miasma in Nanyang, many fields can be cultivated. Due to the climate, crops there can even be planted three to four times a year!

    Of course, war consumes a lot of money, and all princely states are in short supply of weapons, equipment, and food.  Wang Yu's solution was to let the princes fight the war and transport supplies from the Central Plains.

    The principle of profit for participants mainly applies here. As long as you participate in external development, whether it is transporting materials to vassal states, or forming your own armed caravans or fleets, and attacking foreign countries, you can receive merit points and merit points based on the results.  The value is used to receive the title, and the title affects whether one can hold important official positions.

    The titles are still set according to the 20th rank of Qin and Han Dynasties. Only here, for the first time, there is a distinction between noble families and common people.

    The noble family will start directly from the fifth-level doctor, while the common people will start from the first-level public servant.  It seems that the starting point is high, but it is not, because the higher the title, the higher the merit points required.  As long as you work hard and participate in the first five levels, you will definitely be able to complete it. After reaching the fifth level, the empire will also issue rewards.

    Rewards include: low-interest loans, educational resources, information resources, etc. provided by the empire.

    According to this system, in terms of the difficulty of becoming an official, nobles and commoners are almost on the same starting line.

    Of course, the aristocratic clan itself has huge resources and is still in an innate advantageous position in the competition. However, the number of people chasing after them will increase and become stronger, making it impossible for them to only focus on opponents of the same level, and they must be careful.  The pursuer behind.

    There are many provisions related to this law. For example, the conditions for becoming an official have changed greatly, and the monopoly of the family will be completely broken.  In addition, there are also standards for identifying aristocratic families.

    The law stipulates conditions such as the number of people living in a settlement, the total amount of family wealth, and the total number of family merit points, and divides the families into three categories: aristocratic families, noble families, and poor families.  Families of different levels will enjoy reduced discounts and increased restrictions in accordance with the previous principles.

    In a nutshell, those with strong ability and wealth should contribute more, and vice versa for those with strong ability and little wealth.

    "What's more than you've lost but you can't make up for what's missing? Are you turning back and running the country the way Huang and Lao did?"

    The whisper coming from beside him coincided with Xun Yu. He turned around and found that the person speaking was Kuai Yue.  The two said hello with their eyes, and everything was said without saying anything.

    This result is not the best, but it is not the worst either. The Wenjing rule at the beginning of the Han Dynasty used Taoist theory, which is not a clear path.

    Xun Yu¡¯s focus was actually on enfeoffing the princes, which was what Cao Cao was most concerned about.

    Among the relevant clauses, it seems that there is no mention of restrictions on the vassal states, only clauses such as the cessation of war orders by the vassals.  Xun Yu was still doubting at first whether there were any additional special clauses that he had not yet come up with.  But he flipped through the two books several times, but he still couldn't find the corresponding foreshadowing.

    If it were an ordinary decree, Xun Yu wouldn't think too much about it. The problem is that the two decrees Wang Yu took out were quite complete. Even if there are some things that are not thoughtful enough, they are all in the details. This is a major military matter.  , there is absolutely no reason to ignore it, unless Wang Yu no longer intends to have the reputation of being true to his word.

    The whispers coming from around him also showed that more and more people had discovered this, but no one dared to ask Wang Yu face to face.  After all, only Xun Yu, Cai and Kuai came this time with heavy troops and the hope of the princes. Since the others did not have such hope, they could not be too concerned.

    "I dare to ask General Wang, if you want to become a prince, what standards should you meet? If you become a prince, what kind of responsibility should you have for the Central Plains?" The three of them looked at each other, and finally Kuai Yue asked.  mouth.

    "It's very simple. In addition to the existing five companies, as long as they have certain strength and desire, they can discuss relevant matters in detail." Wang Yu waved his hand and answered quite happily: "It is said to be specific matters, but in fact it is to choose  Decide on a direction or an area, and as long as you can achieve the set goal, you can become a prince."

    "So simple?" Kuai Yue was stunned.

    "How complicated can it be? The law states at the beginning that participants will benefit. Isn't this the reason?" Wang Yu leisurely asked: "Of course, all princes must respect the Emperor of Han as their master. The territory that is conquered, regardless of title, must be respected."  Whatever the name, it must also comply with the Han system. The so-called Han system is"

    Wang Yu's tone suddenly increased: "UnifyWords, unified language, unified weights and measures, unified history and culture!  As long as you can abide by such principles and achieve the set goals, you will be a contributor to the expansion of the territory of our Han Empire. What is the need for fetters?  "

    Including Xun Yu, everyone was startled at first, and then showed a thoughtful expression.  Seeing the expressions of everyone in his eyes, Wang Yu said with a smile but not a smile: "You may be thinking that the princes are fighting outside and the Central Plains is enjoying peace. If a certain prince becomes disloyal, the Central Plains may change hands."

    "Actually, this idea is correct. In this regard, I don't have a complete strategy to protect the country forever. I can only say that with this general, I will be fully confident in facing various challenges. If this general is  Being an ancient Haha, not to mention anything else, even if there is really something about Tai Ah's rebellion, the meat will rot in the pot. We, the descendants of the Han family, still have the final say in the Central Plains, so what do we have to worry about? "

    There was silence.

    In the huge hall, even the sound of breathing became clearly audible.

    Everyone was frightened by Wang Yu's arguments.

    Fortunately for the staff in Qingzhou, they often heard all kinds of strange ideas and strange opinions from their lord. There was nothing that a man who could even say such things as vowing not to proclaim himself emperor did not dare to say or couldn't say.  Said?

    The representatives of various aristocratic families were really confused.

    I am used to conspiracy and accustomed to guessing others with relatively dark psychology. They really couldn't adapt to this completely selfless argument.

    That is the ninth-five-year-old, and he can leave thousands of miles of land to his descendants for generations to come!  Does it make sense to just say that the meat is rotten in the pot?

    This, this is simply

    Looking at Xun Yu and Kuai Yue's faces becoming a little distorted due to excessive horror, Zhuge Liang suddenly wanted to laugh.

    It looks silly to not become the emperor when you have the chance, right?  I have asked this question myself, and the Lord's answer is the so-called: the bottleneck of the dynasty.  That's right, he said that the dynasty had many limitations that would affect his ambition to expand the territory, and it could not last forever. At most, it would last for four hundred years, and maybe even four hundred years would not be reached, and it would end at  Maybe three hundred years.

    Among these reasons, Zhuge Liang only agrees with the first point.

    In any dynasty, ensuring safety is the first premise, so expeditions are not allowed. Even if the relationship between Emperor Wu and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing was like that, after the latter made great contributions, they would be beaten as much as they should, and they should seize military power.  Show no mercy.

    As for whether the life span of a dynasty is three hundred or four hundred years, Zhuge Liang really doesn¡¯t know how to evaluate it. Except for the short-lived Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was the first centralized empire.  Although it is now in name only and the national destiny ended four hundred years ago, who knows what will happen in the future?

    "However, the Lord's expression when he said this was quite confident.  Judging from the words he has made in the past, maybe there is really a reason?

    Zhuge Liang has been worried about this for a long time, but he still can't find anyone to discuss it with. Mr. Wen He, a lazy man, doesn't want to take the trouble at all, and the teacher is not here.

    Now, finally, someone is worrying with him. How can Zhuge Liang not laugh?

    Wang Yu said nothing on the surface, but he was filled with emotion in his heart: Unification, which sounds like a beautiful word, is actually a shackle that stifles China's expansion drive, but some people are eager for it.

    The evidence is overwhelming.

    ??Except for the Han Dynasty, among all subsequent dynasties, which dynasty has a life span of more than three hundred years?

    No.

    ??Except for the Han Dynasty, which dynasty has implemented expansionary policies for longer than one emperor?

    of course not.

    If so, the Tang Dynasty would not give up the Western Region Corridor.

    If there were, Zheng He's fleet would have been able to occupy the Indian Ocean at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. With the size of the treasure fleet, the name of the Invincible Fleet would probably have to be replaced.

    ??The fundamental problem is not the limitations caused by Confucianism or the character of the Chinese nation, the problem lies in the unified dynasty itself!

    Because it is a dynasty, everything belongs to the emperor.  Officials don't need to love the people or be honest, because they are the ones who suffer from being honest. If the emperor is rich all over the world, will he lose this little benefit?  The emperor has hundreds of millions of people, so why not have thousands or hundreds of people who are less caring?

    As for expanding territory

    Unless you have the ambition to challenge the throne, who will suffer the thankless sin?  Didn't you see how Yue Fei died?  Raising a thief to respect himself is the way to go.

    Since he has been a man for two generations and has these insights, Wang Yu will certainly not make the same mistakes again.

    It¡¯s easy to travel through the Three Kingdoms to become an emperor, but it¡¯s really powerful to travel through the late Han Dynasty to change the course of history and create an empire that truly dominates the world.??.

    ¡°Maybe I didn¡¯t think carefully enough and made some omissions, but at least one thing is correct. During my lifetime, the empire will continue to expand outwards and expand again.  Even if he is gone and falls into the disputes of the Spring and Autumn Period again, China's territory will be much larger than before

    For this reason, Wang Yu is willing to bet on this store!

    "If you don't have any objections, you might as well turn around and resume your duties. Governing the world is like cooking fresh food. You must always be fully prepared and work carefully."

    The discussion meeting became a one-man show. Wang Yu was somewhat uninterested. He waved his hand to indicate that the meeting was dismissed. He stood up and walked for two steps. Suddenly he turned to Xun Yu and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo, please bring a message to General Cao and tell him that he  If you are interested in the position of Prime Minister, you might as well come and see me early."

    "Well I obey your order." Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, then bowed and obeyed the order. When he looked up again, he found that Wang Yu had already gone far.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
