The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 783 Advantages and Disadvantages

Things often have two sides, and sometimes the advantages are also the disadvantages, including but not limited to human beings, for example, a certain person is honest and honest, but in fact that person is a naughty melon.

The same duality can be clearly seen from the characters and performances of the children from wealthy families. Their shining advantages are also great disadvantages from another angle.

And this needs to be analyzed from the beginning. There is a big gap in cultural knowledge between the children of the wealthy family and the ordinary poor people. The children of the wealthy family will win at the starting line in the words of later generations.

All of them live a good life, basically there will be no lack of food or clothing, and sometimes they will ask why not eat minced meat.

Asking this question is not entirely because the questioner is stupid, but more because most of the nobles have never experienced hunger and cold, and they don't know what it is like to be short of food and clothing.

When people don't even have the most basic food, there is naturally no better source of food, and the person who asked the question didn't know this common sense that ordinary people know.

This is because different environments create different people, and the common sense of the children of wealthy families is not the same as that of ordinary people, which makes the two parties appear incompatible even if they sit together.

In addition to the huge difference in basic necessities of life, there are more gaps, especially in reading and literacy. The common people often can't read a few big words, but it is impossible for a wealthy family to be illiterate.

They have to be enlightened early when they are very young, and after reading a lot of books, they have received training in various aspects of life, and in many cases they are representatives of knowledge and understanding.

They may not have been to many places, but they read a lot of books. After reading ten thousand volumes of books, they will read more than ordinary children from poor families, and their horizons will be broader.

Standing together and comparing the children of the wealthy family with the ordinary people of the poor family, you will find that the children of the wealthy family are handsome. After all, there are almost no people who can wear sacks and are very beautiful. More people wear sacks like beggars.

There are neat and beautiful clothes, the ability to clean up personal hygiene frequently, and the fragrance surrounding them. They have many advantages like ordinary people and feel extremely attractive. In many cases, the children of the wealthy family are in the center and are very eye-catching.

These advantages allow them to go to a higher position faster, and soon expose their shortcomings. This is because the children of the wealthy family know how they won at the starting line.

That's because the family behind them is so powerful that they take a large part of the resources for themselves, giving them enough priority to let the family members go far ahead.

This also led to a problem: after the children of the family became officials, they would not only consider whether it was beneficial to the people of the court when dealing with the problem, they would pay more attention to whether it would damage the interests of their own family when dealing with the problem.

Once the interests of his own family are touched, he will definitely try to reduce the losses caused to his family. He would even rather let the court and the people suffer great losses than let his family's interests be damaged. If he can benefit, He forgot even more the responsibilities he should bear, which is very unprofessional.

This is the other side of the descendants of the elegant family. They don't care about other people's interests and life or death, because they belong to the Tianlong people class, which is called the elite in later generations, and they are elites who believe in egoism.

At this time, it depends on the ability of reincarnation. If you devote yourself to ordinary people, you will become poor at best after exhausting yourself.But it would be a different matter to be reincarnated into a child of a wealthy family, the starting point is the end point.

Although people who come from aristocratic families cannot be all elites, and there will be a certain number of dudes and wastes, as long as the family is still there, the dudes and wastes will not live poorly, and they are definitely much better than ordinary poor families and common people.

Therefore, in the dynasties where the children of the aristocratic families occupy more positions of power, the time of Guozuo is not very long. This is because the children of the aristocratic families do not care who is the emperor, nor do they care about the life and death of the people. It is strange that the lifespan of the dynasty can be long.

What they care about is the continuation of their own family. In this case, as the children of the family who occupy most of the official class, as long as they have enough benefits, they will not think about how to improve the lives of more people.

Just like what Li Erlang's wife thinks, she cares more about her own situation, and doesn't consider that her behavior will make other people's lives miserable. In her eyes, she doesn't care about other people at all.

Even after being able to do it all over again and sum up the experience of my previous life, I feel that the reason why I will fall short is that my natal family is not strong enough, otherwise how dare I let myself be dismounted?

Her obsession became to make her natal family stronger, so that Li Erlang would not dare to touch her, so that she could keep her position as his wife.

In order to achieve this goal, she jumped left and right on the edge of the temptation again and again, and soon found that her husband hadn't noticed her little tricks at all because of the filter.

For this reason, she started to make big moves. In order to make her family stronger, she unscrupulously took credit from others, but Li Erlang, who was not aware of it, did not find the problem.

But when the problem was discovered, it was already three autumns late. The Zhao family had received a lot of bonuses from the operation of the general's wife, and it had become even bigger and more powerful in these years. This was precisely because of the personal contribution of the general's wife, Zhao.

Her demonstration made other wealthy families jealous. Everyone wants this kind of result, so why is it that only the Zhao family gets so much bonus?Look at the Zhao family's rapid expansion and become more powerful in a few years.

Even Li Erlang knew that it would not be good for the Zhao family to expand like this, but there was no way to quickly curb the expansion of the Zhao family, and the members of the Zhao family became even more arrogant.

The children of the wealthy family were very envious after seeing it, and secretly hoped that their family was another Zhao family. Under such circumstances, they naturally thought about how to expand their family's strength.

In order to benefit their families, each wealthy family started a mode of secret fighting, which caused them to often stumble with each other, just to allow their families to occupy more territory and interests, and Li Erlang's great cause had to retreat.

This kind of situation is a typical internal strife, but it will also affect many innocent people. These people are the most unlucky people. There is a saying to describe it: when gods fight, mortals suffer.

In the struggle between aristocratic families, one bad thing will lead to the defeat of the common people, but the instigator did not notice it at all, or would not care if he was aware of it, just like when a person walks over and steps on an ant, would he care about the life and death of the ant?No, they will only continue to fight, thinking about getting the best benefit.

Once ordinary people get involved, they can't change their fate of becoming cannon fodder. Even if they don't want to get involved, they will eventually be cannon fodder.But as long as most people are alive, they don't want to die, and they will work very hard to live.

Many people have to flee their original places in order to escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder, even though Chinese people have never liked to leave their hometowns, they are the most hard-to-leave people in the world.

But once they are unable to survive, they will think about changing their own destiny, and the turmoil has not stopped at this moment, and there are not many places where they can find a more comfortable life. Some people go to the territory of Yang Juan and his wife and start a new life.

Soon everyone felt that life was good here, there were not many aristocrats, and there were not too many people who were above the public, and the emphasis here was on the law.

After I live a good life, I will think about letting my relatives and friends come to live here, and many people try their best to spread the news, thus attracting more people to come.

Yang Juan and his wife are very happy about this, because population resources were also very important in ancient times. Without population, nothing would work, because fighting requires someone to fight.

The only thing that the husband and wife are worried about is that the population growth rate is too fast, and they cannot keep up with food, clothing, housing and transportation, which will disappoint those who come to defect, so Yang Juan is a little nervous.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao has been prepared for a long time, and has been insisting on researching how to grow the fields. The grain yield per mu has been greatly increased, and new varieties such as cotton, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have been planted. This is something the world got before and started to plant after disinfection.

With enough reserves, enough people can be accommodated. As for living?Then we can only build some simple houses and wait for people to settle down and build their own houses little by little.

There are other aspects of economic development, which have laid a good economic foundation for Yandi, which can accept as many people as possible, and reduce starvation and cannibalism.

What surprised those who defected most was that this place is compulsory learning, which means that everyone must know how to read, because Ling Xiao said that only by reading can you be wise, and everyone who has the conditions must read.

The system of recommending to be an official was directly abolished. After more people studied, they passed the exam to become an official, cutting off the possibility of the family's development from the root. Anyway, Yang Juan and his wife did not have a good impression of the wealthy family.

Ling Xiao brought up the concept of a country, so that people can remember that there is a family only when there is a country, and that the interests of the country are higher than the so-called family. These are instilled in education.

In this way, Yang Juan and his wife quickly gained a firm foothold after taking over the North with Ling Xiao's secret support, and the territory expanded rapidly. During this process, many people defected one after another, mostly poor families and ordinary people.

Li Erlang, who represents the noble family, can only be regarded as a hero in the south. He is surrounded by many descendants of the wealthy family. It can be said that the north and the south have different foundations.

Li Erlang has also known about the big moves of his original partner in the past few years, and he really regrets it in his heart, because the poor boy who married Yang Juan has leapt to the same status as him.

That kid will definitely have a certain ability, and people who are too bad can't make him succeed even if they want to.But it is undeniable that it is more because his wife is Yang Juan.

Originally, he was Yang Juan's husband, and those helpers should also belong to him. Without those things, he should have been on the Dabao long ago, but it's a pity that he made a wrong step.

These things led to the end of the relationship between him and the general's wife. If Yang Juan was interposed between them, but the husband and wife relationship was not bad, when Yang Juan no longer wanted to be in the middle, the relationship between the husband and wife would become worse. not good.

Mrs. General had been thinking about how to make Yang Juan go away, but now she really went away, and after she had nothing to do with her, she realized that although Yang Juan was not among them, her influence was even stronger. Who made her Good luck.

With Yang Juan, there will be a lot of help, and the general's wife is tantamount to supporting the enemy if she drives Yang Juan away. In fact, after Yang Juan finally stands with the enemy, her position is in jeopardy.

The general's wife couldn't accept this result, and she became a little crazy. Sometimes she would mutter to herself, "It shouldn't be like this, why is it like this? It's a waste of time."

Others naturally didn't know what she was talking about, and she didn't want to see Li Erlang, because she found that everything had changed beyond recognition because of her.

Obviously she got off to a good start, directly preventing her opponent from giving birth to that child. It can be said that Yang Juan was trampled down by her at all. She also knew that even if others found out that Yang Juan had been wronged, it was nothing special. Will speak up for a loser?She doesn't even get any compensation.

In this way, she held Li Erlang tightly in her hands, and this time she wanted to be superior.But they never expected that the brothers and sisters of the Yang family would bottom out and rebound, so they caught them by surprise.

General Wu's wife was very proud before, and she was calculating in her heart, waiting for her to become under one person and above ten thousand, whether she should find someone to embarrass Yang Juan who is married to someone else.

She never thought that this abandoned original partner would marry a rapidly rising master, and one day she would be able to compete with her, and she thought that this opponent was created by her.

After understanding it, the general's wife didn't know that she should cry and laugh when she killed herself, and she started to be in a trance for a while, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

The development of the matter was beyond her expectation. The past life and present life made her feel in a trance. She didn't know whether it was this life or the past life, so she became a little crazy.

Li Erlang didn't know what to say after he knew it. During this period of time, he was hurrying to kill some of the Zhao family's power, but in the process, his people also suffered losses.

In this case, he has no time to care about his wife's situation at all, and because he has to deal with his wife's family, he doesn't want to see his wife at all, so he only asks people to take good care of her.

Although there are too many problems and conflicts between their husband and wife now, she is still his wife. Even though too many things have been lost because of her relationship, it is undeniable that he has to bear part of the responsibility.

Although his wife provoked and alienated the relationship between him and the Yang family for various reasons, he was the one who made the final decision, so he couldn't blame his wife too much.

Also because of the children, he will not give up his wife easily. Except for the children born by his wife, the children born to other concubines are not very qualified, and he will not do anything to his wife for the sake of the children.

Of course, he won't go to see how his wife is doing now, because when he sees her, he will remind himself of the process of being deceived by her again and again. No one wants to be deceived all the time and be treated as a fool.

Instead of seeing her, treat his wife better. Both of them don't want to see each other. Anyway, his wife has a son, who is considered an older child. He often visits her and pays attention to whether other people treat his own mother well. Li Erlang is very rest assured.

Now he wants to see Yang Juan even more, and wants to ask her how she is doing?But he knew that this was just an extravagant wish, and it was impossible to see that woman.

Because she represented another force, and it was Yang Juan's man who robbed the world with him, he was angry that the other party wanted to rob the world with him, but he had to admit that her revenge made Li Erlang even more painful.

After the rise of Yandi, he finally realized what he had missed. Before, he thought he had mastered the best part, but he found out that he was not at all.

The brothers and sisters of the Yang family did give Li Erlang a lot of help before, but they kept the most elite part hidden until Yang Juan married another person. This is a big killer move.

Li Erlang always thought that the Yang family's big house was his biggest help, but now he found that the Yang family's big house did give him a lot of help, and it was considered the biggest help, but it was definitely not the biggest help that the Yang family could give.

After these years of attention, it was discovered that the most elite part of the Yang family did not belong to Yang Dalang or Yang Erlang, but to Yang Juan, the lady of the He family standing behind her.

This discovery was known too late, only because Mrs. Zhao made him miss his greatest help.This is also the main reason why he didn't want to see his wife very much, and he passed the great opportunity.

It wasn't until later that he found out that Yang Juan's biggest help was the adopted sister who didn't like to stand out very much. It wasn't until Yang Juan left Li Erlang angrily that Ling Xiao began to really help Yang Juan, and her shadow could be seen in every aspect.

The co-author Ling Xiao is the real expert. He was very annoyed and depressed after discovering this fact. He should have guessed before, but he didn't think too much because of his gender.

If he had known this would be the case, he would not have insisted on giving up Yang Juan's wife's position. Yang Juan's background is not inferior to the general's wife to some extent, but it is too late.

Originally, life in the south would be better, but because of the emergence of new farm tools in the north, the labor intensity has been reduced, and new agricultural products such as cotton have been introduced. Many people went north one after another.

The reason why a large number of people went north one after another was because there were still a lot of wealthy families in the south, and the wealthy families wanted to get more land and make a fortune during the so-called war.
