The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 239 Tragedy

Time flies by like flowing water, and night comes silently!

It's late at night!
After Yang Tong returned to the room reeking of alcohol, he fell on the bed and didn't bother to move.Silently echoing Du Ruhui's majestic essay, many of Du Ruhui's incisive and unique suggestions benefited him a lot, and he submerged himself in it unconsciously.At the same time, the three questions and three answers between himself and Du Ruhui also made him think a lot!
The first thing he thought of was the aristocratic family.

It is true that there are scum in aristocratic families, but if the whole family was full of scum, they would have long been annihilated in the long river of history.The secret of their long-term inheritance is not only two-sided and two-sided investment, but also the reputation of poetry and books.

Read wisely and pass on fame!
The kings of all dynasties did not dare to touch the big family, because as long as the big family is touched, it will cause turmoil, and countless people will have different opinions!Why are the people like this?It's because the aristocratic family has a good reputation, they don't raise taxes in rich years, and donate food and money to give porridge in bad years!As long as there is an aristocratic family, when the people encounter three disasters and five difficulties, there will be a way to beg for help, and there will be a way to survive!

But fame is a thing that is difficult to accumulate and easy to stink, just like modern female stars, who work hard to create a beautiful girl image, a certain family, and it will be destroyed in one fell swoop.The image of the jade girl is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the persona collapses, her notoriety will be so bad!

Empathy!The same is true for aristocratic families.

When Yang Tong executed the Bingzhou family in the past, he not only announced the evidence of rebellion with Li Yuan, but also a lot of evidence of crimes in the evil village, which was amplified and publicized!The people under Yang Tong's rule hated the aristocratic family very much, thus creating an illusion that in the eyes of the common people today, the aristocratic family is full of scum!Aristocratic family is the code name of scum.

There are no good people in the family?

Yang Tong himself did not believe in this point of view.As the so-called "sufficient food and clothing know honor and disgrace", aristocratic families that can stand the test of time do not need to be verified in terms of virtue, because time is the best verification. Land mergers and monopoly education are cancers of the country. For each family Said, but it is the root of the world.

From a macro point of view, Yang Tong is actually fighting and accumulating for his own family, but his family has been enlarged to the whole world, while other aristocratic families are just small tribes attached to his family.

If you recognize his status, if you don't reach the top, then his family and his power will not last long. Therefore, compared with the aristocratic family, the "Yang Tong family" represents the interests of a country and dominates the macro development direction.

Aristocratic families are also families without the word "shi", but their families are too many, and the royal family has been shaken to the point of "family of great power", so they are regarded as thorns in the eyes of the emperors of all dynasties.

The "Yang Tong family" is composed of tens of thousands of families. In terms of wealth and status, Yang Tong must allow the existence of classes. The theory of eliminating classes is an improper move against humanity and anti-progress!In the 70s and [-]s, countless lives proved that equal distribution is not feasible!

But on the core issue, Yang Tong must try his best to be equal, this core has opportunities besides land

Vulnerable groups such as poor families, ordinary people, and servants have no chance!

Yang Tong tried his best to create opportunities for them. The equalization of land to households, the distribution of land into acres, the integration of officials and gentry, compulsory education, and the improvement of imperial examinations are all opportunities created by Yang Tong for the disadvantaged groups...

The reason for not allowing aristocratic families to participate in the imperial examinations is actually the same as in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the state suppressed landlords and rich peasants and supported poor peasants.The purpose is to make up the gap between the strong and the weak, so that the two are on the same starting line!When everyone has equal resources in the officialdom, the network of interests that can overthrow the country will be fewer and smaller!
To do these things will naturally touch the foundation of the family, not to mention that Yang Tong has not yet unified the world, even if it is truly unified, this kind of thing that touches the foundation of the family will still become an obstacle to the progress of the country.

Not to mention the Sui and Tang dynasties, looking at the entire history of the earth, no dynasty or country can solve this problem, because it involves the issue of 'privilege'.

Privilege this thing!
Regardless of slave society, feudal society, capitalist society... or social society, it has always existed, because it is a sign that the new society replaces the old society, and it is the source of power for the new society to replace the old society.

Why did Wenwu under his command board Yang Tong's boat?

For the sake of privilege.

If Yang Tong doesn't give it, who will help him conquer the world?Who will work for him?
Therefore, Yang Tong treats everyone equally on the surface, but in fact, the reason why the Sui Dynasty is strong and stable is rooted in the role of privilege.

Supporting the army is a privilege, daily pension is a privilege, and even the daily salary of officials is also a privilege!

Land distribution, tax system, education, scientific research, and law are the roots of Yang Tong, and anyone who touches them will die.But you can make up for your loyal ministers and generals in other ways.For example, he could not give civil and military officials a large amount of land, but he used money instead.

Honors, nobles, civil and military officials, etc. are actually compensation. The monthly salary of these things is much higher than that of the land, and they don't need to take care of them.

But in the future, these privileged people will still develop into new aristocratic families after going through the big waves, but they will not be able to monopolize the right to education like before.

Therefore, Yang Tong never thought that the aristocratic family would never breed such absurd ideas. He yelled this slogan, just like 'the King Chuang will not pay the food', just anesthetizing the people under his command.

Of course, the common people have indeed benefited.

"Husband, the smell of alcohol is so strong!" A pleasant voice suddenly rang in his ears, but it was Xiao Wu and eldest grandson Wugou who walked in.

"Why did you drink so much wine?" Xiao Wu wrinkled her lovely nose, gave him a reproachful look, and then said distressedly, "I didn't say anything when I was drunk."

Yang Tong also stopped thinking about those messy government affairs, looked sideways at his little housekeeper, and said, "It's so late and everyone is still awake? What if the baby is so tired?"

"Really?" Xiao Wu was startled and almost threw the object in her hand

Yang Tong laughed and said, "Of course, you are running around! How does the baby sleep?"

"Then what should I do?" When Xiao Wu heard this, her small face was nervous, especially her big eyes, like a poor little milk cat.

"Early to bed and early to rise!" In fact, according to Yang Tong's standards, this so-called late night is not too late, at most around twelve o'clock.

"Then I'm leaving!" Xiao Wu left in a hurry, without the cautious look of a pregnant woman at all.

Xiao Wu's nature is pure and straightforward, and she is also very sensible. She always releases her true temperament in front of her relatives. This is what Yang Tong is most satisfied with and likes the most.

"Husband, let me press it for you."

Changsun Wugou put the ginseng soup aside, sat down on the side of the bed leisurely, moved his head to his lap, pressed two delicate white palms on his shoulders, and kneaded him gently.

Yang Tong smiled and leaned on Wugou, closed his eyes and enjoyed.After a man drinks, he usually thinks of the woman he has a close relationship with.

So is Yang Tong.

Xiao Wu is pure, kind, elegant and noble; the eldest grandson Wugou is dignified and virtuous, with a scholarly atmosphere; Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning are heroic, full of wild beauty.If you talk about the depth of the relationship, I'm afraid it must be Xiao Wu, a married couple in need who is being married by a bright matchmaker.

The remaining three!
Shui Tianji has followed him the longest time alone, and because she has no worries, she can easily open her heart, and the two of them are free together.

The eldest grandson Wugou is gentle and considerate, gentle and quiet, like a cup of fragrant tea, with her, the soul seems to be cleansed.

Li Xiuning's every move is full of charming demeanor, passionate like fire, she is a benefactor on the bed, she has more desire than affection for her, this may be because of the short time.

Changsun Wugou looked at the sharp-edged face in his arms with distant eyes.

With Yang Tong's rapid progress in Guanzhong, his career flourished, and the leisurely days began to disappear forever. Although it was a good thing for Yang Tong, Da Sui, and the family, for a woman, she often had to stay alone in an empty room.

Sometimes the eldest grandson Wugou just thinks!If Yang Tong was just as simple as her junior, she should be able to live happily with him.

It's just that this thought quickly faded away, he knew that her husband is a person who does great things, and it is impossible to spend too much time in the gentle village, otherwise, what it brings to the royal family and the Great Sui will definitely be devastating hit.

In fact, the eldest grandson Wugou felt that he was already very happy. Although it was absurd for Yang Tong to be on the bed, he didn't seem to care much about female sex, because no matter how absurd he was, he was only targeting the four sisters, and Will not reach out to other women.

As a side concubine, Changsun Wugou knew very well that with Yang Tong's status, not to mention four women, even forty would not be too much.But Yang Tong never mentioned a word, let alone finding a maid in the same room. Although there were Xiao Wu, Shui Tianji first, and Li Xiuning later, he never lost his love for himself who was married once. .

Yang Tong closed his eyes and asked, "The so-called collection of poems was created by you, right?"

publish a book.

It's a sacred thing, almost an official patent.

The cost of publishing books is too expensive, most people can't afford it, and few people can afford it.

But with the appearance of Yang Tong, the cost of publishing books has dropped to the price of jumping off a building.

His paper-making theory has been tested one by one by the good craftsmen of "Kaitianyuan", and it has been turned into reality. A piece of paper is almost a business without labor, and after the improvement of the good craftsmen, the output is amazing.As for printing, it is even simpler. It is nothing more than changing to movable type, which also makes books popular in a large number.As the price of paper falls, books are no longer a luxury, and more and more people will surely publish books in the future.

It's just that he never imagined that these wives actually took the drafts of his calligraphy practice and compiled them into a book.The four of them also took this as a lure to lure the ladies to put down the style of competing for extravagance, and all of them changed to the style of literature and art.These noble ladies are planning to be the editors of their husbands' works, and they are learning the knowledge of governing the country and the army!

Based on what he knew about Xiao Wu, she was shallow and couldn't think of such an idea, and the same was true for Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning.Therefore, it must be the idea of ​​the eldest grandson Xianfei.

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled shyly: "I like my husband's poems and articles the most. There are those that worry about the country and the people, 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later', and those that contain education in the text, 'Worry about the world first, and joy after the world'; There is a specialization in the industry'...there is a bold and bold "kill a person in ten steps, never leave a thousand miles", and there is a graceful "flying wings without a colorful phoenix, a tacit understanding". The poems were recorded and recorded, and I planned to write a collection of poems exclusively for my husband. One day, I saw the emperor's grandmother copying Buddhist scriptures, and saw that the eldest sister had the heart to reverse the trend of competing for extravagance, so I came up with this idea."

Yang Tong laughed secretly: "Pirate poets are indeed killers of intellectual beauties! Xiao Wu was killed in seconds before, but now, even Changsun Wugou is not exempt."

But he has long since decided not to take his face as a face.And overall it's a good thing too!There are few military books these days, and the experience of the generals is actually a living military book. If their wives really write a book each, it will definitely enrich the art of war of this nation.

But when he thought of Fang Xuanling who was afraid of his wife, Yang Tong had to mourn in silence for Lao Fang—this wife has learned the art of war, and Lao Fang is doomed to be unable to stand up in this life...
