Chapter 789 Chapter 0799 The generous wife
“In other words, some people want to replace those aristocratic families in Shu and become a prominent Han family.”
Zhang Xingyi smiled and explained in words that Guan Ji could understand.
Compared to the Guan family sister who wanted to revitalize the Feng family and the Guan family, Mrs. Zhang, who often looked at the world of the Han Dynasty with her brother-in-law Feng, considered herself to have a higher level of vision.
Although the wife of the wife has status advantages, she also has psychological advantages.
She even looked at Feng Yong and asked in a heavy voice: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Feng Yong looked at Zhang Xingyi’s eyes flashing with pride and coughed:
“Yes, sugar cane plantations, ranches, workshops, etc. are all industries that no one has ever done.”
“If you want to maintain these industries, you can’t just work hard like farming.”
“The Xinghan Society benefited from opening a school in Yuexun. These people probably wanted to learn from it, so they begged me.”
After hearing Feng Yong’s words, Guan Ji suddenly realized:
“Isn’t that what it means? If nothing else, just opening a workshop and just farming the land in Zhuangzi are two different things.”
As she said that, she looked at Zhang Xingyi thoughtfully, "Siniang's thoughts are changing very quickly."
Zhang Xingyi proudly put a piece of brittle bone into his mouth and made a "click" sound.
Feng Junhou looked at Zhang Xingyi's appearance and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile on his face.
Although I don’t know what Feng Yong is thinking at this time, Guan Ji and Feng Yong are connected as husband and wife after all.
She was a little annoyed when she saw that the young lady of the Zhang family dared to be so arrogant in front of her.
But after she glanced at Feng Yong, she suddenly smiled slightly, started to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and slowly scooped up a spoonful of minced meat.
“Come on, Ah Chong, open your mouth, ah…”
Among the people sitting at the table, Amei was eating seriously with her head down, a pair of children were waiting to be fed, and the remaining three were all occupied with their own thoughts.
It was not until night, before the prince and his wife fell asleep, that the lady asked softly:
"Alang's foundation is the Xinghan Hui, and the school is one of the foundations of the Xinghan Hui. Now someone else wants to get involved. When I look at Alang, I don't feel worried, but feel happy. Why?"
I've been running around a lot these days, so I took a long shower after I came back today. I feel great when I take a shower, but I'm also really tired.
After finally getting some sleep and regaining some energy, Feng Junhou just had another little farewell to the newlyweds. Even though Feng Junhou's iron body was strong, he couldn't bear it.
At this time, I just felt tired and wanted to sleep. When I heard the words, I responded casually:
"The so-called destroying the thieves and reviving the Han Dynasty is not just about destroying the thieves Cao Pi. Cao Pi dared to do things that were treasonous. The powerful families in the Central Plains contributed a lot."
“The troubles of aristocratic families have existed for a long time, as can be seen from the Liang family during the reign of Emperor Huan.”
After all, Feng Junhou himself was a character written by the Prime Minister in the "Execution List", so he naturally had to go out of his way to get to know the two emperors Huan and Ling who were specially named and criticized by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
This will be called serious understanding of the spirit in later generations.
If you want to get involved in officialdom, this kind of sensitivity is a necessary quality.
Because this can better avoid stepping on minefields.
So Feng Junhou learned about three major events during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty:
The first is to kill the Liang family, the second is to favor the eunuchs, and the third is to bring disaster to the party.
Liang Ji, the domineering general during Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, came from the Liang family.
To what extent was Liang Ji domineering?
The emperor of the Han Dynasty was poisoned, the court officials were killed, famous scholars were killed, and wealthy households were destroyed to plunder their wealth. The officials looked sideways and did not dare to disobey orders. The emperor respected him but could not personally govern.
Nine people were granted the title of marquis, three became queens, six became nobles, and two generals were appointed.
There are seven wives and daughters who enjoy the title of king.
Three people married princesses, and there were fifty-seven other officials ranging from Qing, General, Yin, and Xiao.
When Liang Ji was finally executed, the confiscated family property was worth half of the court's annual tax.
Although the Liang family is a combination of relatives and aristocratic families, we can also get a glimpse of how huge the top aristocratic families in the Central Plains are.
Compared with them, the aristocratic families in Shu are just younger brothers.
Guan Ji was even more confused when she heard Feng Yong mention the Liang family:
"Although I long for the destruction of Cao Cao, I have to admit that there are still many capable ministers in and outside the court of Wei State. Is it too much for Alang to use Emperor Huan as a metaphor for the Liang family?"
On weekdays, he talks about political affairs with Zhang Xingyi and military affairs with Guan Ji.
Now that Guan Ji unexpectedly took the initiative to talk about current affairs, Feng Junhou knew that she was probably stimulated by Zhang Xingyi during the dinner.
I didn’t dare to be lazy at the moment, so I quickly cheered up and patiently explained:
"Not at all. When the Pseudo-Wei Dynasty was under Cao Cao, regardless of Cao's clan or poor families, all were promoted according to their talents, so that they could achieve their initial prosperity."
"However, when Cao Pi arrived, the neighboring clan of the Cao family was in charge of the army and the aristocratic family was in charge of politics. It was difficult for the poor family to stand out again, and at the same time, they were extremely wary of the close clansmen of the Cao family."
“Not only did Cao’s puppet king’s fiefdom change frequently, but he also had neither governance nor military power, and his actions were strictly monitored, making him a prisoner.”
“Now that Cao Rui is in power, only Cao Zhen, a member of the Cao family, can see clearly, and he is also an old man who has stayed from Cao Cao’s time.”
"As soon as Cao Zhen leaves, it is inevitable that the Cao family will be weak. Unless Cao Rui can make a strong man and cut off his arms, the big family will definitely dominate the military and politics alone, causing harm to Cao Wei."
Many people in later generations said that as long as Cao Rui lived a long life, Sima Yi would not have a chance and history would change.
But in Feng Yong’s view, Sima Yi is just an accident of history.
Even if there is no Sima Yi, there will be Sima Er and Sima San behind.
Unless Cao Rui lives a long life and can change the foundation of Wei State, there is a way to reform the aristocratic family, the blood-sucking group that lives in Wei State.
Otherwise, Cao Wei will still follow Sima Jin's old path in the end.
Because the essence of Sima Jin was gentry politics.
If Cao Wei allowed the aristocratic family to dominate, it would eventually turn into a gentry politics.
This is the contingency and inevitability of history.
After all, the founding emperor Cao Pi made a good start!
Abolition of the possibility of exclusive power by relatives, treating royal clansmen as prisoners, and appointing a large number of scholars to replace **** positions (eunuchs in the Han Dynasty could hold power).
From a political perspective, these measures are indeed good.
However, he vigorously supported the most dangerous family, and relied on Cao Cao's leftover Cao family to balance the power of the court. This was simply the root cause of Cao Wei's downfall.
The family has been popular for hundreds of years and has monopolized intellectual resources and can continuously provide talents.
Why should Cao's side sect be compared with others?
There are inherent problems with the foundation of the country. If you want to change the historical trajectory, unless Cao Rui has enough courage and wisdom to completely transform the Wei state.
You may not know what it means to completely transform the foundation of a country.
We generally only use two words to describe this kind of person: Shang Yang!
If Cao Rui really has this ability, I, Feng Mingwen, will declare on the spot: I will fight for the Wei Dynasty till the end of my life!
According to the original historical trajectory, without strong enemies and before the world was unified, Cao Rui became keen on building palaces and recruiting beauties from all over the world.
What do these kind of people have to boast about?
Both of them were able to show tolerance and accept advice under various pressures in the early stage.
Later, after the pressure was gone, everyone began to indulge in pleasure.
Even Adou's temperament is much better than Cao Rui's.
At least Adou will not kill the followers around him at will, let alone kill his own queen.
Although Feng Yong did not explain these inner thoughts clearly, Guan Ji understood:
“What if Cao Rui intends to take action against a wealthy family?”
“Then we will force him to continue to compromise with the wealthy families.”
In the darkness, a smile appeared on Feng Yong’s lips:
“As the saying goes, there is a lot of ambition but not enough power. As long as the Han Dynasty continues to put pressure on Cao Wei, Cao Rui will have to continue to rely on the powerful families to deal with the pressure of the Han Dynasty.”
At this point, he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "This is like curing hunger with aconite, quenching thirst with poison, and has cut off the throat before it enters the intestines and stomach. Oh, haha..."
Hearing this laughter, Guan Ji couldn't help but pinch him lightly:
“The laughter is so scary at night!”
She has followed Feng Yong for so many years, so she naturally knows what her Alang thinks of the wealthy family, so she feels a little worried.
“Alang feels that it is a good thing for a family to have a big family. However, judging from Siniang’s behavior, I seem to be very happy to see the success of the big man’s family. What do you think of Alang?”
How do you want me to view this big Han family, or how do you want me to view Siniang?
Knowing that Guan Ji couldn't see his expression, Feng Junhou subconsciously looked in Guan Ji's direction and answered carefully:
“This famous family is not that famous family. Besides, Cao Wei is the only one with the most powerful family. How can the Han Dynasty be the same? Even if we really fulfill the wishes of those families and become a famous family of the Han Dynasty, so what?”
“Besides the famous families of the Han Dynasty, isn’t there the Xinghan Hui? The Xinghan Hui is not a famous family.”
The emerging powerful people and the transitional landlords are bound to the Han Dynasty, and this does not depend on their will.
The former is because of politics and the latter is because of economics.
Only with the unification of the Han Dynasty can they get the greatest benefits, so they are all firm supporters of the Han Dynasty.
Now they are trying to enhance their own strength, which is actually a disguised form of strengthening the power of the resurrected Han Dynasty, which is a good thing.
This matter should soon be known to the royal family after Zhang Xingyi’s death, and it will also receive royal support.
In this regard, the Zhang family’s young lady does have a long-term vision.
The wife of the wife only saw the first layer, and Mrs. Zhang also saw the deeper layer.
Feng Junhou supported this matter, which was actually supporting the royal family, so she was so happy.
It’s just that Mrs. Zhang was happy a little early, because after she pointed out the intentions of the emerging powerful people and the transitional landlords, Feng Junhou suddenly saw the fifth floor.
After all, Feng Junhou is a man who has mastered the true dragon-slaying skill.
Over the years, with Nanxiang as a typical representative, Dahan's productivity has increased explosively due to human intervention.
In this process, the disintegration of the aristocratic families in Sichuan is actually a manifestation of the destruction of the old production relations.
The sum of productivity and production relations has a term called "economic base".
In the dragon-slaying technique that a certain country brat mastered that does not belong to this era, there is an extremely important theory:
The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts on the economic base.
The powerful elites whose wealth is in a period of expansion and rising, as well as the emerging landowners who have transformed from the old aristocratic families in time, can be regarded as the emerging superstructure.
The emerging superstructure has an urgent need for talents in emerging industries. The best way to cultivate talents is to open schools widely.
This is how the superstructure reacts on the economic base.
The superstructure does not adapt to the economic base. Just like the old-style aristocratic families, it will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.
On the contrary, if the impact of the superstructure on the economic base is positive.
In this development process, the new class of good family members like Nanxiang will rapidly expand.
The powerful force of the former Han Dynasty was based on the large number of good men in the army.
As long as the new class of good families in Jihan can finally take shape, then there will be the most solid foundation for the revival of the Han Dynasty.
The only problem is that the Han Dynasty noble family with the family as its core and the Xinghan Society, which is similar to a chaebol society, were partners before the unification of the world.
But after the world is unified, the two sides will most likely become competitors due to the division of the victory cake.
The reason is also very simple: capital is greedy.
Unless the Han Dynasty can continue to expand outward and divert conflicts without recuperating after quelling the war.
Feng Junhou, who has mastered the true dragon-slaying technique, can think so profoundly, but Guan Ji has never studied those five books.
So when she heard Feng Yong's words, "Besides the famous Han clans, there is also the Xinghan Hui", she trembled and sat up suddenly.
Since the prominent Han family is supported by the royal family, what does it mean if Alang wants to fight against it?
Guan Ji's slightly trembling hands tightened her grip on Feng Yong: "Alang, what are you...what do you mean?"
"Don't panic," Feng Yong knew what she wanted to say, so he pulled her to lie down again and comforted her, "You know, I never have big ambitions."
“When I first thought of ways to become a prince, I actually wanted my status to be worthy of being a prince, lest my brother-in-law make excuses not to let you marry me.”
Hearing Alang’s casual and relaxed words, Guan Ji felt slightly relieved and said angrily:
“What nonsense are you talking about? Before you were granted the title of Marquis, could it be that my concubine treated you with high eyes and low eyes?”
Feng Yong clicked his tongue and said, "You really wanted to treat me with contempt back then. How did we get here today?"
"I can see it," Guan Ji leaned her head on Feng Yong's chest, "You are a person with real magnanimity. You are willing to save Ma Su, and you are willing to help Xu Xun."
“Not to mention people like Mi Zhao and Liu Liang, in fact, you don’t trust them at all, do you?”
"But it would be wrong to say that you don't care about anything. I can smell the pride in your bones with my eyes closed."
Speaking of this, Guan Ji breathed out a sigh of relief:
“So even with Alang’s arrogance, since he said he didn’t have any thoughts in that regard, I naturally believe that he didn’t.”
Hearing what Guan Ji said, Feng Yong blurted out and asked: "What if I have that intention?"
When Guan Ji heard this, she immediately bit into it.
“Ouch, it hurts! Xijun, I was wrong!”
Feng Junhou shouted repeatedly.
Guan Ji finally let go of her mouth, and then said bitterly: "What else can I do? I already have two children!"
“Husband and wife are one body, so you still ask this?”
We are an old married couple now, and we know the basics of things. We can freely say certain things without any scruples.
“Since Alang is not at ease with these families and Si Niang is close to them, Alang, do you think I should stay in Pingxiang to look after the house this time? Ah Chong and Shuangshuang are still young..."
Guan Ji made circles with her fingers and suggested quietly.
Hearing this, Feng Yong almost couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter: I bet you are waiting here!
Who said the royal wife is generous?
In one fell swoop, Mrs. Zhang was put on the opposite side of Xinghanhui!
