Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 586
Sun Xiangfu is developing in Jiuyuan County with a muffled voice, completely ignoring outside affairs, but it doesn't mean that outsiders don't care about him. Some people even care more about his every move than Li Shimin, especially the Wang family. I am very satisfied with Sun Xiangfu's current state.

At the Wang Family Hotel in Dingxiang City, Wang Xu invited several other companies, as well as representatives of small and medium-sized families in many places, to a banquet. If it weren't for Wang Hao's previous operations, it would be difficult for such horrors to appear in Datang. The banquet where the core figures of the family gathered together.

Of course, even now, Juguiju, there are many mountains, big and small.

First of all, the Wang family, which is the most powerful among all the families, has become a mountain itself. Then, the Cui family, which is second only to the Wang family in strength and has monopolized almost the entire northeast trade, is another mountain. Quite a number of small and medium-sized families from the original Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, as well as tribal leaders from Buyeo, Mohe, Khitan, Yu, Shiwei, etc., their overall strength is even stronger than that of the Wang family.

However, the strongest ones are the five families based in Shangqi City. They are the alliance of the five top families. Although the alliance is not very close, the burst of energy is unmatched by any group.

Of course, the strength of a new emerging group is not bad. The Guanzhong aristocratic family group headed by Wei and Yang may not be able to compete with any of the five surnames and seven families individually, but the victory lies in the large number of second- and third-rate medium-sized There are twenty or thirty families in the family, and there are more than a hundred small families below the third rate. This is also a force that is not weaker than other mountains.

Afterwards, the Luoyang Family Group, Huainan Family Group, Jiangnan Family Group, Shandong Family Group, and Central Shu Family Group are even next in the order of magnitude. As for the families in Shannan Road, they are basically not ranked now.

"I invite you to come here today. I just want to discuss with you, what is the future of our family." As the host of today's banquet, Wang Xu was the first to speak after almost all the families had arrived.

This is his first public appearance after taking over as the head of the Wang family. It doesn't matter to him whether he talks about it or not. Put on the momentum.

"The way out? When Mr. Wang said this, it seemed that I was about to be cornered. It should be, but your Wang family has a scum like Wang Hao, and you feel a sense of crisis! We wait for each family, now Business in all aspects is getting better and better, and there is a great momentum of rise. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like it’s time to find a way out!” Wang Xu wanted to show his momentum, but naturally there were some people who were unwilling to let him do what he wanted. One of the representatives of the five families in Shangqi City, who had already been carried by the Wang family, took the lead in singing the opposite as soon as Wang Xu finished speaking.

Not to mention, there are still many people who agree with his counterattack, especially the Guanlong Family and the Northeast Family Tribal Group represented by the Qinghe Cui Family. They are all on the rise in their careers now!
"Really? If that's the case, why did you respond to my Wang family's call and perform such a big show around Sun Zhengming? Is it really for friendship? When it comes to friendship, I am afraid that I am the only one here. Brother Zhengming is closer!" Wang Xu looked at Lu Wenzhong with a mocking look.

In fact, the people who came to this banquet knew in their hearts that the era when their aristocratic family relied on monopolizing knowledge, exploiting the people, controlling resources, and gaining the right to speak in the country is coming to an end. On this point, when Wang Hao contacted them during his lifetime , I have already explained to them that the easy taking down of the Shannan Road masters by Sun Xiangfu is an example.

The second Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty, which will be held in Chang'an soon, made all the aristocratic families panic, because, as of mid-September, the number of students from all over the world who went to Chang'an to apply for the exam has reached more than [-], and in the last period of time, from The number of students arriving in Chang'an from other places to apply for the exam is still growing explosively. It is estimated that the number of references may exceed [-].

This is Datang's advancement of the school to the county level. After three years of implementation, the results achieved, in just three years, can be used as a reference with confidence. As a result, the number of poor families who are officials is more than four times that of before. Those from the family line couldn't imagine what it would be like when the third and fourth imperial examinations were held like this?
You know, Datang now has a population of more than 3000 million and more than 2000 counties, and there will be more and more families of ordinary people who are able to study. There are at least 50 worker families in Weinan New City alone. The children of the family supported by financial means study.

If all these poor students flock to the officialdom, then within ten years, the voice of their family members in the officialdom will be reduced by at least half. After 20 years, they will be a minority in the court. Sent.

This is the general trend. Unless they rebel now, they will not be able to reverse it at all. However, they have no chance of rebelling now.

However, are these aristocratic families willing to be reduced to ordinary merchants who can be easily strangled to death by the court?

This is something they absolutely do not allow to happen. Their family's greatest wish is to pass on power, wealth and honor from generation to generation, so that their children and grandchildren will be masters.

And Wang Hao reached an agreement with them just by grasping their psychology. Now, Wang Xu jumped out to call everyone, the meaning is obvious, to continue some of Wang Hao's previous propositions, from another angle, let The power and wealth of the aristocratic family continued. This time, they directly bet their treasure on Li Shimin's number one thug against the aristocratic family, Sun Zhengming. This made everyone feel that the chance of success was very high.

Who is Sun Zhengming?
In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor, the most prestigious person, all the people of the three major classes of farmers, workers, and merchants recognized him, which accounted for more than half of the society.

As long as he is tied to the family interest group, then, at least, the imperial power will no longer pose a threat to them.

Because Sun Zhengming, who has won the support of the aristocratic family class, is equivalent to winning the support of the four major social groups of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. No matter how capable Li Shimin is, it is impossible to defeat the whole world.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the people will choose Sun Xiangfu between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu, but that when Li Shimin wants to do something to deal with them, it will be difficult, because someone has enough power to stop them. He, and for this reason, their aristocratic family will undergo a major change in thinking and action strategies.

Because, first of all, they need to obtain the approval of Sun Xiangfu, then they can no longer use the old models of exploiting the labor force of the people, monopolizing knowledge, etc. in the past.

The model that Wang Hao provided them with reference during his lifetime was based on capital.

The aristocratic families have now lost their monopoly on knowledge because Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu have vigorously promoted the development of the education system, and they have also lost the ability to exploit the people because Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu have vigorously promoted new laws, and Civil rights reform.

Then, all they have left now is capital.

Wei Zheng in history wanted to use morality and law to lock up the monarchy. However, he failed. Wang Hao, who had a dream wear experience, read pseudo-history in his dream. After summarizing, he came to the conclusion that, The dictatorship of the monarchy must not last long, and when I had a deep chat with Sun Xiangfu for the first time, I pointed out this issue.

Wang Hao felt that Sun Xiangfu was the most intelligent person in the world, and after he had his own reminder, he would definitely find a way to reverse this situation.

Because, there is one thing that he firmly believes that the more beautiful, beautiful, and developed this Great Tang was built by Sun Xiangfu, the less he would want anyone to destroy it easily, and who is most likely to destroy such a beautiful world?
It's the interior, it's the monarch.

The emperors who founded the country, no matter how well they built the country, could not withstand the chaos of one or two stupid kings behind them. They don’t need top-level intelligence, and people with a little bit of intelligence can see this, especially since the end of the Han Dynasty. , This era of frequent dynasty changes.

And if you want to avoid such a situation, you will definitely go to Wang Hao's previous thinking, a constitutional monarchy, consortiums jointly discuss politics, and let big families that control capital and resources control politics together.

Wang Hao's set is simply the best way out for these aristocratic families. Therefore, even though they are very hostile to the Wang family and very unfavorable to Wang Xu, the young head of the Wang family, they chose to come to the banquet .

After all, in their view, this thing is very likely to be successful, and after it succeeds, it is to prevent their aristocratic families from being overwhelmed by other classes in this round of people's wisdom and the wave of reshuffle of the entire social class.

Of course, when they were not sure about challenging Li Shimin's dominance, no one dared to say that they only wanted to elect someone who could best facilitate this matter as their leader.

Even, they were not in a hurry to solve this problem during Li Shimin's reign. Even if they waited another 30 to [-] years and the next generation of emperor came to power, they would still be able to accept it.

Former Sui Kaiguo is also very strong!It's not the same as dying in a few decades. Although Li Tang is strong, as long as he uses the right method, it may not be impossible for him to be brought down by them in a few decades, and finally establish a new country jointly discussed by the aristocratic consortium. .

Calculated in this way, Sun Xiangfu, who was dismissed from office, became their first choice.

He has enough ability, enough energy, enough popular support, and he is young enough. After Li Shimin died, he should still be in his prime, perfect in every way.

However, the problem they encountered at present is that Sun Xiangfu does not cooperate with them, so how to make Sun Xiangfu cooperate with them is what they want to do now.

Before Wang Hao died, he expected that Sun Xiangfu would not be able to cooperate with these people, so he arranged a series of strategies to drive a wedge between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu. Of course, these were just appetizers, and he pointed out the general direction After coming, the elders' association of the Wang family and the think tanks of each family began to plan and supplement specific actions, and the theme of this banquet was actually a mutual agreement between each family after careful consideration. Communication, in order to achieve a unified pace in future actions, and gradually complete the layout.
