    The late Eastern Han Dynasty was an era when the gentry class occupied a dominant position.  There are many so-called celebrities in this era.  These so-called celebrities refer to a group of self-righteous intellectuals who fall between "officials" and "hermits".  In this era of knowledge monopoly.  Due to their special social status and psychological state, they constitute a unique traditional cultural landscape.  To put it simply, they are arrogant and arrogant, look down on everyone, and always think that the world is in their own hands.  The emergence of a large number of celebrities is closely related to the rise of famous religions during the Eastern Han Dynasty.  Therefore, famous people can also be interpreted as "people who teach famous people".  However, the substantive core of the so-called famous religion is still Confucianism, and it is still a rotten Confucianism.  In addition to injecting the worldly complex and unique way of life into the celebrities.  During the Wei and Jin Dynasties when the etiquette system was in great decline, they also single-handedly promoted the release of horses to Nanshan and the storage of swords and guns.  The main promoters of giving preferential treatment to foreigners, and even directly allowing foreigners to live within the Great Wall.  These celebrities are parasites on the entire country and nation.  And Chen Gui is one of the celebrities.  Chen Gui once served as Prime Minister of Pei, but because he was dissatisfied with some trivial matters, he resigned.  He doesn't care about the people or his own work at all.  Because he comes from a family of officials, because he is a celebrity who monopolizes knowledge.  As long as he wants, he can be an official anytime and anywhere.  In this case, who would care about the life, death and feelings of ordinary people? ? ? ¡Ê ?As the top wealthy family in Xuzhou, Chen Gui was extremely angry at Gaoyang¡¯s forced resumption of land for redistribution.  Because more than one-third of the fertile land near Xuzhou belongs to the Chen family.  It is different from the Mi family who have been rich for generations and are good at doing business.  Without the land and official status, what would be left of the Chen family?  Therefore, the Chen family resisted Gao Yang the most fiercely in Xuzhou.  "Tao Gongzu is a coward! He failed in vain to live up to the expectations of the people of Xuzhou. Gao Zihou actually surrendered, he is really a scum among our scholars!" Xuzhou, Chen Mansion.  Chen Gui, who had drunk too much horse urine, was red-faced and burping, and angrily cursed Tao Qian who offered the city to surrender.  In Chen Gui¡¯s opinion.  Tao Qian, who is also a member of the scholar class, did not protect their interests, which was the greatest betrayal!  As for the difference in strength, there was no possibility of victory at all. He didn't know what would happen if he failed or what would happen.  This is what is called standing and talking without back pain.  You must know that with Gao Yang¡¯s military order to forcibly expropriate land, the Chen family instantly lost its main source of income and most important wealth.  Although the family still has countless grains, countless male and female servants, mountains of goods, and larger mountains, forests, lakes and so on.  (Gao Yang¡¯s expropriation order only expropriated land.) However, greed is an original sin.  No matter how much you have now, people who are never satisfied will still desperately pursue more.  What's more, now Gaoyang has directly robbed most of the property accumulated by their family over the years!  Chen Gui did not dare to scold Gao Yang, even in his own home.  Gao Yang's powerful reputation and merciless killing forced Chen Gui to vent all his anger on others.  Even if you just curse quietly in your heart, you will be frightened.  To put it bluntly, these so-called celebrities are the most typical bully and fear of the strong.  When he bullies the kind and weak, he has a vicious look on his face, and he wants to take off his shirt and go naked.  But after meeting a truly ruthless character, I immediately shrank.  In the future, when Wu Huan is in trouble in China, the performance of these celebrities is completely comparable to an unprecedented farce.  One or two, they fell on their knees in front of the foreign horses' hooves, crying bitterly and wanting to lick the foreign horses' boots.  "Father, Gao Yang was so ruthless. All our fields were confiscated, not even an acre of land was left for us." Chen Gui's son, who was better than his predecessors, walked into his father's room with a cold face.  .  He frowned slightly as he smelled the alcohol in the room.  He waved his hand to drive away all the gorgeous concubines and said in a deep voice.  "Bang." There was a sound, and the stunned Chen Gui looked at his son stupidly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Not even an acre was left?!" No wonder Chen Gui was so gloomy.  This era also pays attention to harmony.  Hello, hello, hello everyone.  Today, Chen Deng accompanied Gao Yang¡¯s officials who came to measure, register and survey the land to actually inspect the land and check the accounts. He brought several carts of goods with him early!  No one thought that there were such honest people in this world.  Wealth measured in carts, dozens and hundreds of beauties and maids.  Promised gorgeous homes everywhere.  These things that ordinary people would never dare to think about were placed in front of them.  As long as the subordinates are a little merciful and leave some fields to the Chen family during accounting, they can get them all.  Chen Deng also didn¡¯t think about it.He also knew that it was unscientific to keep all his fields.  Chen Deng's bottom line is to retain one-third.  Try to keep half of it!  The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.  Chen Deng brought three cartloads of goods and hundreds of beauties directly to the officials in charge of the inspection.  As a result, people didn¡¯t even take a glance at it!  "Where can there be such a person? And it's not just one person. All the people who came together to do things are like this." Chen Deng, who was extremely depressed and looked extremely ugly, flicked his sleeves bitterly, sat behind the desk and picked up the  He poured wine from the flask into his mouth!  Thinking of the cold reception he received today, his heart instantly burned!  "A group of low-level officials are so ignorant of appreciation!" The biochemical warriors don't know what face is at all.  They only follow orders and don't care about anything else.  Of course Chen Deng would not know that all the people who dared to accept the gifts had already become victims of injustice.  Since Sili's forcible expropriation of fields, a group of selected natural persons led by biochemical warriors have been responsible for expropriating the fields.  During this period of time, they have seen various coping methods.  I won¡¯t say much about the tough ones. Naturally, there are an army of steel knives waiting for you. ???????????????? But those who play soft tricks are all kinds of tricks, and they come up with all kinds of strange tricks.  What kind of money and treasures, what kind of gorgeous houses and beautiful families, what kind of peerless beauties, etc.  What's more, there are local powerful people who send prostitutes to the biochemical warriors. When Gao Yang got the news, he was completely shocked and speechless. He really dared to give anything to them.  But no one ever gave it to him.  Those who are unstable among natural people were caught by the biochemical soldiers, and the biochemical warrior was absolutely impossible to be attracted by these things.  There is no such concept in their minds at all!  Over time, no one dared to take action, which would be beheading without negotiation.  It is really difficult to convince the biochemical warriors to betray Gao Yang's orders.  If they could really do this, Gao Yang would definitely leave the super weapon in this time and space without saying a word, and then quickly escape back to modern time and space.  ??If you can¡¯t trust the biochemical warriors anymore, then who can Gao Yang trust?  "Yuanlong." Chen Gui, who looked pale and had trembling lips, asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do now? Our Chen family cannot live without fields. With so many mouths waiting for food, Gao Zihou wants to stay hungry."  Are we going to die?" This is a difference in understanding.  Although Gao Yang forcibly confiscated the land, he also paid for it.  Of course, those who resisted with force must be Maodu.  Gao Yangbu's money is enough for these people to live without worries for several lifetimes.  Provided they no longer support so many people.  ????Aside from the reputation and land accumulated over the years, where else can the strength of aristocratic families be reflected?  It's not a mountain of grain or a room full of copper coins with worn out ropes.  And every one of them is a living person!  At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court's tax revenue continued to decrease, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was even forced to actively sell his official position to raise titles to subsidize the finances.  ??The Eastern Han Dynasty court, which collected taxes based on head and land, the main sources of tax revenue were head tax and land tax.  Before the Yellow Turbans, the number of acres of land owned by the Eastern Han Dynasty reached a record high, and the population was also unprecedented!  But why was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty forced to sell his official position even though he had such powerful resources?  Even the people who couldn't bear it were easily instigated by Zhang Jiao, a rural doctor, and launched the Yellow Turban Uprising that shocked the world?     the reason is simple.  Most of the land has been divided up and hidden by powerful families.  Most of the common people were also taken into the homes of powerful men and became tenants!  Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty couldn't find any people or land to collect taxes!  And every taxation means a big turmoil, a luxurious feast for the powerful families.  What a disaster for ordinary people!  The more the land tax is levied, the less land there is.  The poll tax is getting worse every year.  Emperor Han Ling naturally knew what the real reason was.  But even though he is the Ninth Five Lord, he has no solution.  After hundreds of years of accumulation, the strength of powerful families has already become great.  Not even the emperor can fight against this entire class!  Unless he can have as much power as Gao Yang.  The angry emperor chose to reuse eunuchs and formed the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan in the new army, trying to regain everything by force.  However, he offended the noble class and was given the posthumous title of "Ling" after his death.  After the failure of Han Ling Emperor¡¯s final struggle, the fate of the Han Empire was doomed.  This can be seen from the records of the Shu Han Dynasty.  Decades after Liu Bei founded the country, XichuanThe land has never been exposed to any weapons.  It has always been Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, and the war was outside the country's borders. After recuperating for so many years, the population of Xichuan is actually smaller than before Liu Bei entered Sichuan!  Where have all the people in the Land of Abundance gone?  There is no plan here!  Fertility should even be encouraged.  Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei are both smart people, but why do they always go on the Northern Expedition when they know that they are not strong enough?  It¡¯s not because we didn¡¯t go out and grab what others had, that our own people killed our own people!  The Shu Han Dynasty, which is in the same line as the Han Dynasty, naturally inherited the cancer of growing powerful families.  Liu Bei struggled for decades, but he only harmed more people.  The demise of the Han Dynasty was already doomed when Liu Xiu raised his army.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
