The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 333 The direction of the family ([-])

"Da Sima, after a whole night of negotiations and bidding last night, the dealership rights in various places have been auctioned off. The deposits paid by each company in the first installment are no less than 30 billion."

"Hehehe, very good, so the treasury will be filled again."

Speaking of which, the battle between Yongliang and Liangzhou wiped out Guan Yi's family fortune accumulated for five years.Not only food, but after the pensions for this war were issued, there is not much money left.Now that the 30 billion is in hand, it really solves the urgent need.

"In addition, Xiaguan has already negotiated with various companies to start supplying goods on January [-] next year. The supply locations will be concentrated in Chang'an, Chaona, Chengdu, and Yong'an. No matter where all goods are shipped, the shipping price It's all the same. I am a big man who only charges a shipping tax once, which is worth one out of five."

"But, it's been hard work."

"Hehehe, Da Sima dealt with those foreign profiteers last night, it was also hard."

"Hahaha~~ This is not necessarily the case. Well, instead, are they all ready?"

"Because of today's relationship, the distribution rights in Yongliang area were the first to be sold last night, so they slept for at least two hours last night."

"Good, then go to eat first, and then let them come to me."

"Here!"

Guan Yi and Ma Guo referred to them as referring to the Yongliang family.

Counting from when Ji Han's army entered Chang'an in August and the fighting in Yongliang basically subsided.In the past four months, Guan Yi has been busy appeasing the aliens, caring for the soldiers of his own side, arranging where the soldiers will go, and helping the common people.There was one thing he hadn't done—a showdown with the local family in Yongliang.

The content of the showdown is actually only two points: first, how the children of the aristocratic family will become officials - the inspection system will return again, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system will go away.Second, the actual investigation of the household tax—it is inevitable that many aristocratic families will face the problem of reducing their tenants and serfs.

Of course, as a time traveler, Guan Yi knows that reform is the redistribution of interests.If these guys are not found a new way out, it is not impossible for Ji Han to implement the prosecution system and household tax inspection-he will inevitably encounter strong opposition and resistance.Of course, Ji Han can use the knife in his hand to force it to go on, but the consequence of doing so is that once Jin or Wu attack, there will be leading parties everywhere in Ji Han. In order to suppress the Yizhou faction, it will support Ji Han's various systems.But it's different now.The Jingzhou faction has run out of talents, the Dongzhou faction has collapsed, and the Yizhou faction has a new ally—the Yongliang family.If reforms are forced, not to mention Yongliang, Yizhou will be in chaos.

Not to mention that the emperor in Chengdu is already starting to make small moves.What if all the aristocratic families are dissatisfied with Guan Yi and instead take the initiative to move closer to the emperor?In order to get back the real power, the emperor simply turned the Jihan regime into a family in order to get the support of the family and then killed Guan Yi?
Power ministers, they dance on the tightrope every day.

Therefore, Guan Yi launched the sale of regional distribution rights to give a great sweetness to the aristocratic families in various places: at least one county's commodity monopoly rights, and you will definitely make a lot of money from it.So, if you have made enough money here, should you let some profits out there?
Of course, given Sima Guan's treacherous personality, private goods must have been stuffed in here: the improved paper has entered the public's field of vision as a commodity this time, and it does not appear obtrusive among the many novelty commodities.After a while, wait for everyone to get used to this thing.And after the situation on my side is more securely controlled, I will introduce the printing technique... Take your time, this cancer of the aristocratic family, after all, I will completely eradicate it.

Guan Yi, who hadn't slept all night, closed his eyes and dozed off for a while after eating the morning food, stood up, and entered the meeting hall with a strong spirit.

"Hehehe, everyone is here, everyone has worked hard."

"I don't dare to be, Da Sima has worked hard." - The person who said this was purely polite, and the fundamental reason was that he was not familiar with him.For example, the Qu family in Jincheng County, Dunhuang Suo family, Jiuquan Huang family, Wuwei Jia family, Tianshui Jiang, Ren, Yan, and Zhao four major surnames.

(The individual strength of these Liangzhou big families is far behind that of the Central Plains families, but they are united enough. In terms of history, the former Liangzhou regime was able to last for a long time because of the collective support of these families.)
"Hehehe, as long as Da Sima sees the trick, how dare we not come." - These words are a bit gunpowder.Basically, they all have festivals or are dissatisfied with the Jihan regime, the top families in Yongliang in the past.For example, the Webster and Zhang families of Jingzhao, and the Hu family of Anding.

"Where is the hard work, Da Sima just let me wait for a windfall. It must be a good thing to come to see Da Sima at this time!" - only the Huangfu family can be so flattered.

After everyone sat down, Guan Yi asked a question: "May I ask you, as patriarchs and patriarchs, what exactly are you striving for?"

This question is big, but it goes straight to the heart.So the whole venue fell silent.

"In Guan's opinion, it's actually nothing more than four words: 'Eternal prosperity'. Do you think so?"

"... What Da Sima said is indeed the most reasonable."

"However, everything in the world has life and death, prosperity and withering. There is no country that lasts forever. It seems that there is no family that lasts forever. As the saying goes, its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. ...For example, the Huangfu family prospered extremely because of Huangfu Yizhen, but declined because of Huangfu Yizhen's failure in the court. All the families here, your family, have also experienced ups and downs for many years. Who dares to say , your own family is enduring?"

These words really touched the hearts of everyone present.The Jia family in Wuwei prospered because of Jia Xu, and now they have completely stepped aside.Qu Yi of Jincheng Ko's family wiped out Baima Yicong in those years, what kind of prestige is it?Now it has degenerated into a small wealthy family.As for the Zhang family in Jingzhao, although they are still one of the best in Jingzhao, they are only limited to Jingzhao. Compared with when Zhang Ji was alive, coercing the entire Yongliang and calling the wind and rain in the Luoyang court is completely different.

It can be said that the aristocratic families in Yongliang have had their heyday in the past, but now they are in a predicament that is difficult to maintain.

"How can we achieve long-term prosperity? In my opinion, material is the foundation, and talents are the key. The so-called material is money and food. With enough money and food, it is possible to ensure that the children of the family can completely break away from production from an early age. Seek to learn martial arts, and then you can become an official. After obtaining high-level positions in the court, use power to feed back the family, thereby pushing the family to a new peak. For hundreds of years, your ancestors, everyone, have done this. You are desperately annexing Land, concealing the population. It is to control enough means of production, so as to produce more money and food. In order to maintain the status quo of the family, and to cultivate a new generation of talents in the family, so as to achieve greater and better development. Ladies and gentlemen, Guan Yi is right?"

After a long silence, he let out a long sigh.Zhang Yin and Zhang Zisheng, as the head of the most powerful family in the Yongliang family (the head of the Wei family is now in Luoyang), answered Guan Yi's question: "Da Sima is open and honest, and what he said touched Zhang Yin's heart. Looking at the aristocratic families in various places, there are Some are heirs of poems and books, some are hypocritical, and some are concerned about the country and the people. But no matter what, the essence is the same. But, why is this approach so ineffective or even counterproductive? Please continue, Da Sima Wait for me to clear up my doubts."

"The ancestor of Guan's family was just a commoner in the past. The Guan family has prospered for only a few decades. Therefore, I don't dare to answer questions. Guan will just talk about his own feelings."

Taking a breath, Guan Yi stretched out a finger: "In Guan's view, there is nothing wrong with the development of aristocratic families, and the country also needs a certain number of aristocratic families to maintain political stability. But there is a limit here. What is this limit? ?The simplest thing is that the population, money and food controlled by the state cannot be lower than the sum of the population, money and food controlled by the family. If it exceeds this line, the king will not be at ease. Either lead many families to fight each other, or use martial arts to solve it violently. In short, it will weaken Many aristocratic families can feel at ease."

"Everyone, today's Eastern Wu is an excellent example. In Yongliang, you may have envied Jingyang's aristocratic family very much, right? They are truly a super aristocratic family that has crossed states and counties, and closed doors. The children also basically controlled the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Some families even raised tens of thousands of private soldiers... But now? Guan has just received a report from Zhuge Xingzong. Kuaiji Yu's eleven sons were collectively wiped out Thousands of people from three clans lined up to be beheaded on the banks of the Yangtze River... Was the Yu family in the past the object of your envy and study? But now? Such a big family, if there is no one, it will disappear? But what do you think? Did it ever happen? When the Yu family fell, what did the other aristocratic families of Soochow say? Did they do anything? No, they were all waiting to swallow the land and serfs left by the Yu family! What Guan said here is extremely unpleasant In other words, if Guan Mou takes one of your families here and destroys the three families. Before the murder, he publicly stated that after the family is destroyed, the remaining land and population will be eaten by the imperial court, and the rest will be eaten by the remaining families. Little head, ask yourself, will you stand up and protect the family that is about to be wiped out?"

"After talking about Soochow, Guan Mou will talk about Jin. It is undeniable that Jin's nine-rank Zhongzheng system is more popular than my big man's chaju system, because your children can be doomed from birth. To be an official. But, is it really so easy to be an official?"
