The knowledge Chen Xi has learned tells him that you can do whatever you want in all personal matters. All individuals who use your personal affairs to pursue the forces behind you are either strong enough to ignore your forces, or they have brain problems.
In the first case, it is meaningless what you say, and in the second case, it is also meaningless. In essence, these two are just to find trouble, so when it comes to solving personal problems, all the people behind you need to be investigated for their essence. It's all from the beginning.
But when you are dealing with non-personal issues, you have a lot to consider. Especially the higher your level, the less you can act arbitrarily. You even need to think ahead to what will happen decades later.
The eradication of an aristocratic family is one of those things that will affect decades or even hundreds of years. This is something that Chen Xi has already determined and can no longer be certain about.
It can be said that the training of Chen Xihua in the previous generation can be used to copy an official system based on the current system of officials from aristocratic families. This system can even have nothing to do with aristocratic families, an official system that is purely loyal to Chen Xi or Liu Bei.
This kind of thing is not impossible, but in the future, as long as you can't sit in that position forever and can't last forever, the people below and the people above will change sooner or later!
As time goes by, the benefits of the imperial examination system are almost obvious. Chen Xi does not say that future generations will naturally create something similar or even the same as this. Under such circumstances, it is almost a matter of time before the era of civil servants takes power, and it is almost a matter of time before they finally become corrupt Confucians. It’s a nail in the coffin!
This is the most unsolvable situation. If the aristocratic family is killed, the civil servants will rise to the top, and it will end up in a mess. If the aristocratic family is not killed, the aristocratic family will dominate the family and hinder the process of history.
From this point of view, history seems to have proved that aristocratic families, imperial examinations, civil service groups, and Confucianism are not good things. These should all be destroyed!
It is a pity that these were the most essential things in the era of their birth. If they were not for the stability of the country, the country's rule would be absolutely beneficial. It is impossible for them to become a single family.
This is the so-called Tao that moves at any time. Everything has timeliness. Only by looking at all things with a dialectical concept can we see the truest aspect.
Chen Xi's idea also went through a process of reflection and transition before he finally selected a policy that was as suitable as possible. He can't even guarantee whether the family policy he is currently implementing is correct.
However, in Chen Xi's view, sometimes not being able to see the future is much better than seeing destruction. If you can't avoid death if you follow the original path, it is better to take a path that no one has traveled before.
No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? Anyway, the aristocratic family has been promoted to a powerful family and it can't be more bad. But compared with some traitorous civil servant groups and the brainless and shameless rotten scholars, it can only be said that there are others!
Since everything is so bad, Chen Xi can't find any way in history to avoid the troubles of the development of the civil service group who are promoted from aristocratic families to wealthy families and from poor families. Chen Xi just smashed the pot and threw it, and he would die anyway, so why not choose another path.
As mentioned before, it is much better for Chen Xi to hold on to an invisible future than visible destruction. Maybe this invisible road may not be a road of destruction, and even if it is a road of destruction, It’s just a return to history.
It can be said that this is the fundamental reason why Chen Xi treated the family leniently. Since other methods are unrealistic, then think of a realistic method!
Chen Xi's goal has always been peaceful development so that the people of the Central Plains can live a good life. With such a goal, he can tolerate war and some dark means, but these are means, not ends.
It can be said that this time it is a replacement. Chen Xi was playing tricks, so this time he treated the family very generously, including land compensation, official compensation, ancestral land compensation, etc., in addition to other compensations.
Because Chen Xi knew that no aristocratic family would give up on this replacement method. Chen Xi has said many times that he does not have much ill will towards the aristocratic family, but the aristocratic family has hindered him. What he needs is stability in the Central Plains and the health of the people.
Such goodwill, such obvious style, and Chen Xi's upright approach have been ignored by the family. This young man who talks about "the general trend is mine" is not only good at using royal techniques, he is also good at conspiracy and conspiracy. , but generally do not need to be used.
Wang Dao Tang Tang is indeed a fact, but it does not mean that it is easy to use all the time. Sometimes it is better to use something else. Just like this time, Chen Xi’s goal on the table is very clear and reasonable. Even sometimes When asking, you also advance and retreat in a consistent manner.
But in fact, Chen Xi's core goal from the beginning was not what he said. He just wanted the family to develop five million hectares of fertile land in the Northeast Plain. By the way, this was not the ultimate goal.
The real goal is to separate the private slaves, private soldiers, and supporters of the family from the family itself, and this is the most important thing.
How many private slaves and soldiers did the aristocratic families have? Chen Xi estimated that the hundreds of aristocratic families present should have more than three million private slaves in total. These people have no household registration. These people are also the best candidates for the aristocratic families to move to the Northeast Plains. .
Coupled with the supporters of the aristocratic family, I am afraid that when the aristocratic family develops the northeastern plains, they will not need to relocate the people under their rule at all. This will also avoid the public resentment that Chen Xi has been hinting at.
Of course, Chen Xi knew very well that the public resentment was just a cover. He just wanted the family to gather their private slaves and soldiers to the northeast. Once there, the family would be out of control.
When they arrived in the Northeast and gathered together, it would be much easier for Chen Xi to control them. Especially when the private slaves and private soldiers were separated from the aristocratic families, it was not difficult for Chen Xi to transform these private slaves and private soldiers into common people.
As for the Zhongyuan aristocratic family making trouble when it comes time to transform, I am afraid that no aristocratic family with any brains will make a fuss at that time. The reason is simple. There is no difference between a family without private slaves and private soldiers and a tiger without minions.
To put it bluntly, the aristocratic families at that time were just meat on the chopping board, and it was just a matter of one sentence to make them round or flat. They had no capital to coerce resistance.
To be honest, if the family is not weakened to this extent, Chen Xi really has no confidence in the re-education of the family. To fundamentally transform the family, Chen Xi can only think of this step-by-step method to lure the family into swallowing the bait, and finally deliver the fatal blow to make them Completely losing the ability to resist.
By the way, Chen Xi estimates that when the aristocratic family completely lost the ability to resist, Chen Xi did not kill anyone and pointed out a clear path for the aristocratic family. I am afraid that the aristocratic family will all be grateful and all the previous unhappiness will disappear. In other words, this may be regarded as Stockholm syndrome. . (To be continued.)
