The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 788
If you follow the logic of your own brothers, you are afraid that your mother's status will soon be lost, and the main wife depends on the strength of her natal family, because the strength of the Yang family daughter's natal family is not as strong as that of the Zhao family, so the Yang family daughter should naturally give up the position of the main wife.

Now that the mother's natal family is ruined, her original high status has also suddenly come down. To put it nicely, she is a daughter of a family who has lost power, and to put it badly, she is a down-and-out girl.Don't talk about the mother's original status, you must know that the fallen Phoenix is ​​not as good as Ji.

Why do you say that the mother's status may not be guaranteed?That's because the women who followed the father were not all from the background of maidservants, there were also women from other wealthy families. No matter how you look at it now, they are in a higher position, and they can completely replace the mother's position.

Even if according to the rules of the ancestors, the concubine's room cannot be righted, other people can still marry another woman to replace the mother who has lost power.

Of course, she just thought about these thoughts and didn't say them out. No matter how you look at it, this statement is also an insult to her mother. After all, the mother was the one who gave birth to her and raised her. what.

In addition, because she knew that if she dared to mention this possibility, not only would the brothers not be very cautious about it, she might blame herself for thinking too much, and maybe she would want to teach herself a lesson.

This bunch of idiots!Her eyes glanced at her brothers slightly, and she still hasn't realized it yet. Maybe it's a good thing for them that her father didn't ascend to the big position in the end. If they don't have that ability, don't take up the heavy burden.

Why!In fact, her mother also paid a big price for what she did, which she feels very much.Although she was young, she still remembered her mother in her early years. She was a graceful and beautiful woman who would attract everyone's attention wherever she went, but she had obviously aged over the years.

It is said that the mother has been in the highest position all these years, eating the best food, wearing silk and satin, and living in the best house. A woman who lives such a pampered life should always be beautiful, but the mother is still like a delicate flower. The flowers gradually withered down.

What a married woman needs is her husband's care, but her father is obviously unwilling to be that flower protector anymore, and her natal family is isolated again, so the mother will wither a little bit.

But can mother blame father for this matter?From the perspective of her as a daughter, her father treated her mother really well. Although she basically stopped looking at her mother, she did not let other women take her mother's position.

Not to mention that my father didn't go to see my mother. Although my mother has been crazy all these years, she is still a little clear about it, and she has become unwilling to see her father for various reasons.

Probably as soon as I saw my father, I thought of someone. Since I couldn't get rid of it, I could only pretend that I couldn't see it. Although Yang's daughter left the scene early, a thorn was deeply planted between the two of them.

As a daughter, she could only watch helplessly as the distance between the two grew farther and farther.Why!The two of them used to be a loving couple in their early years, and the family at that time was really happy.

It's just that she also knows that there are various undercurrents hidden under the seemingly peaceful and peaceful life, and they will still break out sooner or later.In the end, the peace was broken, and the tranquility no longer existed, and the father became indifferent because of the mother's repeated deception.

If there were no children like them, I am afraid that the father would not talk to the mother who repeatedly attacked secretly. On this point, as a daughter, she has nothing to say after knowing the truth. Her mother has done too much.

First of all, the mother has repeatedly favored her mother's family, and even wanted to fatten her mother's family even at the expense of digging her father's corner.Even if she is a mother's daughter, she can't understand her mother's approach.

My mother wanted to make her natal family grow stronger, but she forgot one thing: sometimes her natal family would backfire when she was too strong, and her mother's natal family would want more benefits a little bit, turning a relationship that could have been harmonious into an enemy.

In addition, the humiliation and suppression of the father's original partner and elder brother in every possible way was too much, which made the two families who were already at odds even more at odds, which eventually led to their resignation.

She heard her mother complain about the daughter of the Yang family, and she couldn't understand her mother. The mother and uncle's family caught a sheep and plucked its wool, and no one would be happy when it was their turn.

As a mother's daughter, she also felt that her father's original partner did a good job!Why keep waiting for a man who won't look back?It would be great to marry another person, otherwise, it would be so miserable to live.

Of course, this deviant idea must never be told to others, or even my own brothers will not spare me, after all, Yang Juan is too much in the eyes of men.

Where is it too much?She is considered a very well-educated person, otherwise all her cousins ​​would go to work with King Yan?It shows that everyone agrees with the former aunt.

Too!People on the father's side pay attention to family background and family everywhere, cut!What's the big deal, maybe those common people and poor family ancestors are also nobles.Moreover, many noble people on the father's side are essentially blood-sucking bugs, the kind who don't let go when they are full.

Why!At this time, the mother has not yet awakened, and some mothers who have awakened really plan to let the elder brother marry a daughter from the Zhao family, heh!I really don't know what to think.

When I think of my aunts who would rather not be the general's sisters, but also stay away from their own family, I know how the eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law saw a Zhao's sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Anyway, as a little girl, she firmly opposed to wanting a sister-in-law who looked like her own mother. What kind of Zhao family daughter did she marry in her mind? Was her mother-in-law a woman with some demons or a so-called noble daughter?Pull it down!

Li Erlang never thought that among his children there was such a deviant master, usually this daughter is a child who works silently, so he doesn't need to worry too much at all.

It is precisely because the second daughter is second only to the eldest son in age, and is very sensible, plus she is a woman, and the father doesn't care much, but let her daughter grow wildly, just like now, not only did she not feel that Yang Juan did something wrong , but as a role model for adults.

At this moment, the second daughter rested her chin and was thinking about things. She didn't understand why the originally very smart mother would change so much and become very stubborn. No matter how you looked at it, she found it unreasonable, and she wanted to step on the daughter of the Yang family.

Although the mother snatched the position of the main wife of the daughter of the Yang family, she did not live a happy life. She always regarded the daughter of the Yang family as her own enemy. In order to maintain a good relationship with her father, she kept suppressing her nature in those years.

It's a pity that her opponent didn't respond at first, and when she recovered, she stopped playing with her mother, and later found another man to marry her.

I still remember that my mother was very proud when she received the news at the beginning, but she lost her manners in front of her, looked up to the sky and laughed, and even distributed a lot of good things to the children.

Waiting to find out that the daughter of the Yang family is doing better, the mother will be in a bad mood.Probably being compared by Yang's daughter all the time, she finally found that she was not as good as the other party in every way, so much so that she drove herself crazy.

Her mother really can't think about it. Not only does she want to be under one person, but she also wants to make her son the next Supreme Being in the world, and let herself own all the good things.As a daughter, she admits that her mother's idea is very good, but she has to see if her son has the ability to take care of the world.

It's not that her elder brother is bad, but when she thinks of this, she looks at her elder brother, not to mention that he is far inferior to Emperor Gaozu, even compared to his father, who is better in martial arts and martial arts?Up to now, how many friends does the elder brother have who can really help with things?
The reason why she can see clearly is that as the only daughter, she has been responsible for taking care of her mother, so she can see a lot of things from it. From the broken and messy words of her mother, she seems to know something, so she keeps suppressing the Yang family. Female.

But my mother never expected that the daughter of the Yang family would not be the concubine of the Li family at all, and would directly change to someone else.

As a daughter, she sympathizes with her mother's experience. The things she wanted to do with her heart and mind have gone wrong, and she has completely separated from her husband. As the saying goes, it is a chicken-and-egg fight.

But as a woman, she feels that the Yang family's daughter's operation is very good!What she felt most regrettable was that she had no chance to meet that strange woman, and she didn't know what kind of woman that woman would be like.

She once heard it said by others that some people blamed the original partner for having sex with Hong Xing in the end, but if she understood the reality, she would find that it was not because she wanted Hong Xing to have sex with her, but because she was calculated again and again, which was equivalent to being forced to remarry.

At this moment, she couldn't restrain her curiosity anymore, so she asked: "Father, speaking of which, I just read a piece of news that someone from King Yan's department captured Sheyang City. Most people don't expect to meet her on the battlefield, do they?"

"Even I didn't think that she would go out in person. After years of study, I realized that I was wrong. Back then, Fuhao was a female commander, and the female commander at that time was not only Fuhao alone."

Li Erlang shook his head when he said this, because he was too narrow-minded, never thought that women could do worse than men.He also knew that Yang Juan had this courage because Ling Xiao stood behind her.

At the beginning, when he knew that Yang Juan's brother and sister were unwilling to have a relationship with him again, he thought that the two brothers and sisters were unwilling to see him, and would choose a place where they didn't know them to start over and live quietly.

But she never expected that the other party would marry. Instead of concealing her identity, her husband joined the team competing in the Central Plains, and wanted to compete with her.

What surprised Li Erlang the most was that the husband and wife succeeded, and their power developed rapidly, eventually occupying half of the country and becoming very powerful.

This annoyed Li Erlang very much, and what annoyed him the most was that he hadn't seen the biggest hole card of the Yang brothers and sisters. Even though that person has always been indifferent, she is actually the most powerful person.

After knowing this result, Li Erlang was a little angry. After all, if he knew Ling Xiao had this ability a few years ago, he would have asked her to help him, how could he have come to this point?
Before, he wasn't too worried about the actions of Yang Juan and his wife. Over the years, many rebels appeared, and he saw many of them, but they didn't last long enough and gradually disappeared.

The disappearing rebel army is the kind of political program that did not take down the country. From the beginning to the end, they only fought, killed and killed each one. In the end, they were all eliminated. I thought that Yang Juan and his wife rose up in such a hurry that there was no program at all. eventually dies, but it doesn't.

As the party involved, Ling Xiao absolutely didn't know that Li Erlang secretly blamed the Yang brothers and sisters for hiding their hole cards. He knew that he would also say that he was too lazy, so he didn't plan to get involved, but it still gave Yang Juan a way out.

The reason why she wasn't interested was because Ling Xiao originally planned to take a good rest and didn't want to be too tired. The pain of tearing her mind and soul made her a little tired, and she had to act only after she knew that Yang Juan was being plotted against.

As a person who has experienced several generations of ancient society, she is not interested in the so-called emperor, but it does not mean that she has not learned about the entire bureaucratic system, and the operation of the general's wife directly made her have no good impression of the wealthy family.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to directly solve the soil generated by the aristocratic family. In addition, she always felt that the privatization of land was a problem, because if this aspect was not resolved, the dynasties would continue to change.

It is said that the nationalization of land should be vigorously promoted, but the previous civil unrest was caused by the new emperor's land imperialization, which touched the interests of large and small landlords.

In the end, all the landlords, large and small, were very dissatisfied and rose up to rebel against the new emperor. As a result, the so-called new dynasty died.

People in later generations said that the emperor of the new dynasty was a time traveler, but Ling Xiao felt that he was more like a retro-styler. He probably wanted to implement the well-field system of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, a complete retro-style, which ultimately failed completely.

Ling Xiao thought about it for a while, and didn't intend to bring up the issue of land ownership. At this time, the discussion is just a thunderstorm, so let's develop slowly!But there are still some changes, and eventually the imperial examination will be held.

Don't let the so-called aristocratic families become the main force of officials. You must know that it is precisely because of the excessive power of the aristocratic families that the imperial power has been fighting with the aristocratic families, and eventually several dynasties in a row are short-lived dynasties.

Most of the members of the aristocratic family are exquisite self-interested people, no matter how difficult and suffering others are living, as long as they can live well.

Especially when national interests and family interests conflict, they care more about their own family interests. As long as their interests are sufficient, don't say betraying other people, betraying so-called friends, even betraying the country is fine.

Ling Xiao doesn't want the aristocratic family to grow bigger at all. You must know that in many cases, if something happens, the children of the aristocratic family will run faster than anyone else, and they will not take up their own responsibilities.

In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, as long as their lives don't change.As for how the common people live, it is completely out of the thinking of most of the children of the family.

What they want is that their family is prosperous and prosperous, and they don't care who is sitting on it.Even if the foreign race is high above them, and even become the emperor, they will assist the foreign race for the benefit of the family.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of behavior is the behavior of a traitor, which is why she didn't give the family a chance to grow, and directly stifled the development of the family from the beginning.

From now on, she will focus on education for all, and she will also greatly strengthen the understanding of the country as a whole nation, so that everyone will gradually remember: there is a country where there is a family, this is Ling Xiao's idea.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and more needs to be added little by little. She just proposed a framework, and the rest will be done by King Yan's subordinates. Anyway, poor families and common people account for the majority.

At this time, she didn't know where the wheel of history would go with her thumping, so she could only observe quietly, because it was so different from the one in history.

She only hoped that this change would bring more good things to people instead of bad things. She never thought that good wishes would definitely bear the best fruits.

For example, the emperor of the new dynasty proposed that the land be owned by the imperial court. This idea should actually take care of the interests of most people. Most of the original commoners did not have much land, and they did not have much anger at handing over the land to the imperial court.

But it offended the interests of the minority landowners. Although they were small in number, they were educated, wealthy, capable, and able to control public opinion, so they had the strength to rise up one after another, which eventually led to the defeat of the new dynasty.

A small number of people beat the majority, the big reason is that most people are uneducated, and others will follow them as soon as they are fooled. This shows the importance of education for all.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to have universal education. She also suggested that officials should be selected through examinations instead of the recommendation system. After all, the biggest beneficiaries of the recommendation system are members of the big family.

For this proposal, most people support it. Although the recommendation system will indeed select some good officials who become officials, most of them are those who become officials because of family reasons.

This also led to one thing: many official positions have been assumed by people from several families. As long as the reincarnation is right, mediocrity can also become a high official. Salary.

Ling Xiao specifically described the behavior of the Zhao family. He didn't feel a little guilty when he took credit from others. Instead, he felt that he had made a lot of money, and he focused on poaching other people's corners to enrich his family.

This kind of situation will make the wealthy family continue to be rich. After all, the family gives children the kind of opportunities that ordinary people do not have, and ordinary people cannot stand up. These situations should be avoided, because I have seen people who rely on their family background in other worlds. very disgusting.
