After reading the information, Chen Xi couldn't help but understand why there were so many hidden households in the late Three Kingdoms period. They probably owed too much, so they could only sell themselves to the wealthy families and become slaves. At least the major families There is still some sense of discipline in this regard.
As long as the people become their private slaves, cultivating their fields, raising their livestock, and supporting their families, most of them will live better than when they were free people before, although this will cause some problems. Losing household registration and losing personal freedom.
However, compared with the loss of their families, the impact of this change on them is very small. Coupled with becoming private slaves of aristocratic families, changes in taxation, and different control methods of each family, it is inevitable that these The wealthy families turned into small kingdoms one by one.
Faced with these shocking situations, Chen Xi could only say that although history is constantly moving forward, some things really keep happening over and over again.
The people who couldn't survive were forced to find a way to survive, but they didn't know that the way they found was just a method that some people deliberately left behind, just to catch everyone in one fell swoop.
It was like this in the Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was still like this in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If you read through those classics and see the darkness in them, the bad reputation can be directly attributed to the clan's local autonomy.
However, the fallen clans stood up again and subordinate officials governed the country. It was inevitable that the cycle would start over and over again, and the wheel of history would roll forward, always repeating the rotation of the past.
When Chen Xi saw these things, he sighed, but at least he was still rational. At least this group of people still had a way to survive, which was better than the situation of the Iron Foot Guiji or even the Tongtian Guiji in the Ming Dynasty. Too much.
At least the former curbs the compounding of profits, and the people can be self-reliant and pay back sooner or later. It may take ten years or even more, but at least there is hope. If it were the latter, Chen Xi would have basically wiped out the entire bureaucracy. There is no way.
Anyway, there is no way Chen Xi can slap these people to death? To be honest, there will definitely be shadows under the light, but as long as you can look past it, there is no point in being too demanding.
After all, time goes by and things remain unchanged for thousands of years. If those who come late have reached that level, their family and their legacy will not remain as glorious as before. Those who play politics cannot be pure white and stand at the top. It can't be pure.
There are still some shortcomings in the Chen family and the Xun family. This kind of thing is inevitable. The people at the bottom are lucky enough to reach the level of a powerful family, and they can really maintain the innocence and kindness they once thought.
What does the so-called imperialism and imperialist oppression, corruption and opportunities for corruption hate, Chen Xi sometimes thought about it, and after thinking about it again, he couldn't help but have some insights.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi wants to do it all when faced with many things, but in the end he has to restrain his temper and work obediently. Some things really cannot be done, and he knows the consequences of doing them better than anyone else.
As a senior executive who knows his position very clearly, what Chen Xi allows and what is not allowed is very clear. Others cannot clearly see the impact of something done now on the future, but Chen Xi has a clear mind and naturally shows it. That is, Chen Xi is Some things are truly arbitrary, with red lines that are absolutely not allowed to be touched.
This is basically the principle that has been followed by various aristocratic families in the Central Plains for a long time. Even because Chen Xi lived a long time, it will still continue for a long time due to inertia after death.
No one will trample on this principle, and no one dares to trample on this principle.
Naturally, even if these three companies have various connections with Chen Xi, they will also pay great attention to this aspect. They know better than anyone how to position themselves.
When Lu Bu began to create the Han Dynasty's secret method of refining Qi and making a gang breakthrough based on the concept of Kushan visualization, the Han Dynasty was already secretly spreading information about the Southwest from various intelligence channels, and even now At this level, as long as the senses are slightly sensitive, and officials who are qualified to contact this level have their own judgments about the current situation.
The originally disturbing moves to create auspiciousness suddenly began to be restrained. Even those officials who had not received relevant information also restrained themselves due to the changes in the current overall atmosphere. After all, it is not a good thing to be independent in officialdom.
"Bo Fu, I'm ready to mobilize my troops." Zhou Yu looked at the very accurate information sent from his own channels and the formal letter from Guan Yu. Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce with a solemn expression.
Obviously, Guan Yu gave him Zhou Yu's face very much and introduced the overall situation in the southwest in detail. From this aspect, Guan Yu did not regard Zhou Yu as an outsider.
"Unification war?" Sun Ce said with rare seriousness.
"Well, let's fight for unification. Except for the information specially sent by Guan Yunchang, I collected all the other information from Taiwei Liu. From this aspect, the other party has officially notified us that it is time to end the civil war." Zhou Yu said with sigh.
"Although I have some other plans, forget it. I've had enough of being nudged in the nose by the enemy. We don't have to fight the civil war. We will definitely lose anyway. No prince has died in a foreign war in hundreds of years. This is such a noble title." Zhou Yu said with the same serious expression.
"We don't have to do one thing, but we still have to fight in formation. After all, if Liu Taiwei wants to return the capital to Chang'an, he won't be able to get in without this." Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's expression and continued to explain. He knew that Sun Ce What are you thinking.
"Can I not go?" Sun Ce stood up and showed a majestic and majestic kingly aura. Sun Ce had never been more majestic than now.
"No." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Although there is no difference between you and me in terms of official position and title, but Bo Fu, you have to remember that you are the lord of Jiangdong, and the aura on your body is the aura of the king, and I This is your place, you must go there in person this time."
"..." Sun Ce sat down and was speechless by Zhou Yu's words. After all, this time was different from other times. Zhou Yu could replace Sun Ce at other times, but not this time.
"I want to mobilize troops to the southwest." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said, "I know that I have an elite force under my command that can truly fight against the Army Soul Army. Our Han family cannot be insulted!"
"..." Zhou Yu had nothing to say, but facing Sun Ce's solemn look, Zhou Yu could only shake his head silently. This is not allowed. This battle is about unity. Except for the assets they transferred away, everyone else must be present. This It is the premise of unity.
"This doesn't work, then what can I do?" Sun Ce said extremely irritably. He was really angry this time. After the fight, Yuan Shu almost got into trouble. If he didn't stand up for Yuan Shu, who would stand up for Yuan Shu? What's more, you want to leave the Han family's territory after conquering it?
"Our duty now is to unify and restore the country to unity as soon as possible. The three of us must completely restore the concept of the Han Empire." Zhou Yu said with great solemnity, "Even if it is dark outside, we must unify now, and everything else can go forward Push back, but as a major player in unification, you have to be there.”
"Okay, I can go, and you can send me troops to the southwest!" Although Sun Ce went crazy and ignored him, he still had some brains.
"No, not now. Our transfer now will only add to the chaos. On the one hand, the subordination relationship between the two parties is chaotic. Another important point is that Guan Yunchang himself does not have the ability to command tens of thousands of troops. In the past, the troops were transferred separately. If we fight, it will only add to chaos!" Zhou Yu directly vetoed Sun Ce's proposal, and it will definitely not be passed this time.
In fact, it is not that they are unwilling to mobilize troops, but that they cannot mobilize troops. It is no problem to mobilize troops. Guan Yu's Jingnan Avenue can also be used by Jiangdong people. The problem is who will go, how to command when they go, and who to listen to. These are all It's a big problem!
Jiangdong can get on the stage, and there are many generals and commanders who can command 8,000 people. The problem is that these people went to listen to Guan Yu's command. Can Guan Yu command them? The command system and legion system of both sides are not exactly the same. What's more, even if it is over, without Zhou Yu, can they obey Guan Yu's words?
Are you kidding me? Nine out of ten of Jiangdong's civil and military talents have character problems. If you really want to send someone there, Li Yan is very suitable for being civil and military, but will Li Yan be obedient?
In the same way, Pang Tong passed away, and if he didn't agree with Xu Shu, Guo Jia would be in trouble.
In fact, the current Jiangdong faction can really help in the past, I am afraid that only Zhuge Jin or Zhou Yu can lead the team. The problem is that Zhuge Jin is not good at military affairs. Although he can handle interpersonal relationships very well, after Zhuge Jin was sent away, Jiangdong and others How to reconcile the chaotic factions.
As for Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu simply cannot do without it. If Zhou Yu is not present in the unification battle, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or their subordinates will all intervene.
What's more, without Zhou Yu, I'm afraid that after the final unification of the three parties, the command system, legion system, armament system, military camps, reserve forces, etc. that the Han Empire created after being compatible with the three parties as a whole, will still not be able to bypass Zhou Yu. In the end, they must Go to Chang'an.
Therefore, it is completely impossible for Jiangdong to send troops to assist Guan Yu now, and Zhou Yu also sees what is happening in Yuzhou, and does not feel that there is any significance in assisting Guan Yu on his side.
As for Sun Ce, it was entirely because of his arrogant imperialist thoughts that he wanted to fight back. Of course, Yuan Shu suffered a loss as well.
"..." Sun Ce's face was gloomy, but he was not the kind of monarch who couldn't listen to what others said. What's more, his external brain warned him forcefully. Therefore, even if Sun Ce was full of anger, he could only swallow it forcefully. There is no way, Zhou Yu is right.
"Hmph, then raise an army and unify as soon as possible!" Sun Ce shouted, "We fought and fought, but now it's better. Because the country is not unified, even foreign wars are at a loss! I will kill Kushan sooner or later!"
