Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 474

Qin Feng didn't take Xu Shu's thoughts seriously. He said, "All reactionaries are paper tigers."

"Paper tiger?" Xu Shu and the others thought about it. The four major families plus [-] small and medium gentry controlled a population of hundreds of thousands. How could this be a paper tiger?
Although Qin Feng said so, the environment of the current era is different from that of later generations. Although the reactionaries are still paper tigers, Qin Feng intends to let these paper tigers go.Because these gentry have been reformed well, they are useful.He intends to transform these gentry, pull their minds out of the land, and contribute to the development of industry and commerce.

Industry and commerce can make a lot of money. They make money, Qin Feng collects taxes, and everyone lives a good life.Fighting and killing all day, how boring.

Three days later, under Qin Feng's convening order, the heads of 24 families gathered in Jinyang City.

In the meeting hall, there is a lot of people bustling with each other. It's really a high-minded communication, and there is no point in talking and laughing. The 24 patriarchs, all of them are imposing, kind-hearted, and they will play an enlightened gentleman in later generations.

At this moment, these people were whispering and discussing.

"Qin Zijin has come in person. People in Anxi in the capital call him Qin Beast. We must be careful..."

"Beasts are not afraid, but they are afraid of Qin Lai crazy..."

In any case, the families huddled together, advanced together and retreated together, and the mentality of facing Qin Beast was much more secure.

There are two rows of seats on the left and right of the hall, from the steps in the hall to the door.There are four dignified middle-aged people sitting in front.Everyone squinted their eyes, not discussing with anyone.And every time the Patriarchs looked over, they would show awe-inspiring gazes.

Wang Ze, the patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, sat in the first seat on the left, and Zou Zheng of the Zou family in Yanmen sat in the second seat.Chai Rong from Xihe Chai family sat in the first seat on the right, and Lei Luo from Shangdang Lei family sat in the second seat.

These four major families are the representatives of the Bingzhou gentry.Each family is 10,000+ acres of fertile land, and tens of thousands of people rely on them to survive.In addition to other small and medium gentry, hundreds of thousands of controlled populations, and almost half of the population of Bingzhou, are in their hands.

Since ancient times, no matter whether the princes fight east or west, they ignore it.The princes did not dare to attack them, but instead offered benefits to win them over.As a result, over the past few hundred years, the power of the gentry has continued to grow.In addition, the gentry controls culture, and non-gentry people cannot study, and it has reached the point where they can control the situation in the world.

Suddenly, someone came out from the back hall.The Patriarch of the small and medium-sized family immediately stopped talking, and the panic on his face flashed past.Although they said that they were not afraid of anything, but when they really faced that person, they felt timid.Just kidding, that's the champion, the champion with millions of corpses.

The patriarchs of the four major families finally opened their eyes. Everyone looked around and found that it was not Qin Feng who walked out. The middle and small patriarchs breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"Mr. Wen Ruo!" Everyone hurriedly stood up and said politely, "I met Mr. Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu was born in the Xun family in Yingchuan, which is really a noble family with red roots. In terms of family status, it is more noble than the four major families here.

"Brother Wang, Brother Chai, Brother Zou, Brother Lei, everyone, please be polite." Xun Yu returned the courtesy politely.His broad-minded bearing, the demeanor of a prime minister of a country.

Lei Luo of Shangdang Lei's family has a quick temper, "Brother Wen Ruo, it's not right for Champion Hou to do this. They are born from the same root, so why rush?"

The heads of the small and medium-sized families are the only ones who follow the lead of the four big families, and there is a burst of clamor upon hearing this.Someone also said: "We fully support the champion Hou, why do you still do this? It's out of style...."

Xun Yu knew in his heart that the times were about to change.The person who brings change to the times is his master.His lord has a complete set of governance concepts. Through research, Xun Yu also knows that this set of governance concepts is advanced and can completely replace the current ones.It will make a big country glow with new vitality and create a prosperous and tyrannical world.

Of course, the new concept of governing the country will definitely overthrow the old one, and it will damage part of the interests.For example, the Shang Yang reform in the Qin State was to promote the new concept of governing the country while the privileged class was hit.

Prosperity and prosperity, the rise of the empire, this is the ideal of Xun Yu's life.This is the biggest reason for him to support Qin Feng, but it is not the only reason.Xun Yu is also a gentry, so of course he would have something to think about.And Qin Feng is not killing the gentry, Qin Feng pointed out a new path for the gentry.

"Everyone, just listen to me." Xun Yu spoke, and the gentry sat down and listened attentively.

Xun Yu organized his speech and said: "Our standing in the world is nothing more than governing the country and the world. You inherit the foundation of your ancestors and carry forward, and all of you are in harmony with the way. You only think that my lord's reform is destroying the families? In fact Otherwise, since I am in charge of supporting business, you can choose another way to organize your family, and it will be more prosperous than the previous way."

Xun Yu then mentioned the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce. If there were similar chambers of commerce, the output on the land would be negligible.

"My lord calls it a transformation, and you don't have to keep your eyes on the land. After the transformation, you have not lost anything, but have more opportunities."

The heads of the various families stared wide-eyed for a while. For them, the land has been their lifeblood for thousands of years.Moreover, these people are keenly aware that if they follow Qin Feng's lead, they will lose their privilege of controlling the situation in the world.

The big gentry control the situation of the world, and the small and medium gentry can also control the situation of their own piece of the world.These people opposed Qin Feng's reform. In the final analysis, it was greedy human nature that caused the trouble.The gentry who have ruled the world for hundreds of years want power, money, and people.In short, you want everything, and if you don’t give it, you will cause trouble.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Xun Yu knew that he was talking for nothing.But there are also people who are thoughtful, and this person is Wang Ze, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan.Wang Ze personally came to Bingzhou through Qin Feng, and realized Qin Feng's tough stance on this reform.

Wang Ze has studied Qin Feng. This man has untraceable ideas of governing the world, but he always conforms to the sentiments of the people.Just talking about the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, let people know that the way of business can develop so tyrannically.Now Qin Feng hopes that the gentry can be less obsessed with the land and follow the way of business.

Wang Ze can also see that the land is the basis for the gentry to gain power, and Qin Feng's essence is to weaken the power of the gentry.For a ruler, of course he wants to have more rights.If the gentry do not devolve power, they must fight.Wanting to fight against princes like Qin Feng, the discerning Wang Ze knew that it would not end well.

"Champion Marquis indeed gave new opportunities. It didn't block the way to make money, nor blocked the way to become an official. It's just that you can't do it at will... The powerful and powerful clans did divide too much power from the ruler. There is no rule. The reader is willing to see this in his heart. The champion gave the opportunity to avoid internal friction..." Wang Ze saw it quite thoroughly.

However, Wang Ze still overlooked some things. Qin Feng did not want to avoid internal friction, but to use the gentry.After all, the gentry were regarded as intellectuals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and cracking down on intellectuals would not be beneficial to the construction of the country.Although the intellectuals of the Eastern Han Dynasty were "bad" in some respects, they could be guided.

After a while, Qin Feng arrived.

All the Patriarchs saluted one after another, each one was thoughtful and polite.But they have already held their breath in their hearts, they will definitely not implement Qin Feng's new system.

Qin Feng sent Xun Yu to the front to enlighten the gentry and change their ideas.Since the bad and stubborn ideas of the gentry are not changed, Qin Feng will never do things like putting a hot face on a cold ass.

"Everyone, this is a new legal system. The Marquis summoned you here today, not to ask for your opinions, but to ask you to abide by it." Qin Feng's posture was tough.

The hall immediately exploded, and the head of the small and medium family was dissatisfied, "For thousands of years, there has been no such system."

"Starting from Emperor Guangwu and his old man..."

"Without us, where would there be a revival of the Han Dynasty?"

The gentry of various families talked about Conglong's meritorious service. Without their support, there would be no ZTE in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If Qin Feng wanted to benefit the common people, it would definitely hurt the nerves of these people.

The head of the Chai family, Chai Rong, stroked his beard and cast a glance at Qin Feng.He, the patriarch of a noble family background, looked down on Qin Feng, who came from a grassroots background, "Master, the big man doesn't have such laws as you said. You and I are both the subjects of the big man, and we are not rebellious. We need to obey the rules of the big man." The law is right."

"It makes sense!" All the patriarchs supported one after another, and said in unison: "There is no such law of the Han Dynasty."

The heads of each family were excited, as if they had found a gold medal to avoid death.Qin Feng was unmoved, and said indifferently: "As the minister of Bingzhou appointed by the imperial court, I have the right to formulate local government affairs. This is the right entrusted to me by the imperial court."

"My system is not the system of the big man, but it is the local regulations of Bingzhou. Since you are in Bingzhou, you must abide by it. If you don't abide by it, you can leave and go to other places. I will never stop you. As long as you still In Bingzhou, you must abide by the local laws and regulations of Bingzhou."

"Ah?" As the eyes of the four masters widened, the heads of each family were all dumbfounded.

The big man gave the state herd great power, and Qin Feng's local regulations were justified.In the past, none of the high-level executives who became the chief officials of the frontier were not from the gentry, so the gentry would not encounter such problems.But now, there is a "heterogeneous" like Qin Feng.The gentry were speechless, but they were not reconciled to letting them hand over their privileges for hundreds of years.

Qin Feng was also angry. The appearances of the heads of the families here reminded him of the faces of the local tyrants and evil gentry in later revolutionary movies, Zhou Paipi and Huang Shiren, almost exactly the same.If the country wants to be prosperous and strong, it must get rid of these scum who suck the people's fat and people's ointment.

Qin Feng was thinking about it when suddenly Lei Luo, the Patriarch of the Lei family, stood up, turned around and left without paying respects, "Farewell..."

When the heads of the various families saw it, they also got up, turned around and left.

For thousands of years, the rulers have also looked at their faces, and it's fine if Qin Feng doesn't look at them, and wants to seize their power.Obviously, these families are mainly against Qin Feng.
