Liu Yu said seriously: "Didn't I already say that? The Murong family's ranch in Qingzhou will be nationalized, and the land of the powerful Han people will remain unchanged for the time being. Then these state-owned ranches will be managed by the powerful families, and the Murong family's The tribesmen are allocated to various pastures, but no grazing areas, cattle or sheep are allocated. They are considered to be leasing state-owned resources for use, and they have to rely on winning military exploits and rewards in wars to save money to buy real estate."
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "What's more, I want to hear your overall plan, not just for Qingzhou, but for the entire Jin Dynasty after the war."
Liu Yu said calmly: "In the next five to ten years, it will be a time to pacify the world and regain the lost territory in the Northern Expedition. It will also be a time for our two civil and military groups in the Jin Dynasty to cooperate and benefit each other. I will not immediately take advantage of the vested interests of the noble families. Focusing on profit will not change the current model. You can still let your aristocratic families join the army or supply military supplies, so as to earn titles through meritorious service. With titles, you can be allocated more land, and you can absorb landless refugees and newly conquered people. These I can keep it."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Is the power in the court still distributed according to the current distribution model?"
Liu Yu replied: "Yes, the power in the DPRK will still be shared by the aristocratic families and the Beijing Eighth Party in the next few decades. As for the officials and new scholars who will be trained in the future, because they have not made meritorious services, they cannot directly enter In the court, I will arrange for them to do the most difficult and basic work in the newly conquered and newly recovered areas. These small official things must be looked down upon by you, the children of the aristocratic family. For example, after going deep into the countryside in Qingzhou, Are you willing to be the village chief, Li Zheng, and face hundreds of people from different places, even foreigners, by yourself?"
The corner of Wang Miaoyin's mouth curled up: "The task is arduous, full of dangers, and the benefits are very small. These are thankless tasks. I'm afraid not many children from aristocratic families are willing to do them."
Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "Then do you think anyone will do it?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Of course the children of the aristocratic family will not do it, because they can live a good life without being such a small official. But for ordinary scholars, it is hard to say. Especially those whose families are in decline. There are hundreds of people like this from poor families in the newly established township schools. They can't even afford tuition. The state pays for them to learn how to collect taxes at the grassroots level. Ding's matter, the method of admonishing farmers and mulberry trees, as long as they can persist in it, they will definitely not let what they have learned become useless."
Liu Yu nodded: "Very good. Once you become a civil servant, you have the possibility of becoming an official. If you have an official status, you will have a scholar status. You will be exempt from military service and reduce taxes in the future. When I joined the army in Beifu, it was because of the Diao Kui framed me and took away my position of integrity. From now on, my whole family of four must pay taxes. It is difficult to survive, so I joined the army with you."
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "I am better than you. I married a daughter of a noble family and I am exempted from military service. However, we were both very poor back then and were unwilling to engage in farming and did not know how to do business, so we had to join the army. Earn money and support the family. To be honest, if the military salary of the Beifu Army was not three times that of the ordinary army, we would not think of relying on this military salary to support the family."
Liu Yu sighed and looked at Wang Miaoyin: "Look, you, as a lady from a high-ranking family, don't know why we joined the army. If you had married me like that back then, I'm afraid you would have to endure hardships with me, which is not necessarily a good thing. .”
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Not to mention that if you had completed the engagement with me back then, you would have definitely come to Xie's house instead of me going to your place. Even if you take a step back and my husband agrees that I will enter your Liu family's door, it will not matter. You will definitely take this into consideration and give me a large and generous dowry for household expenses, and no matter what, you will not let me suffer with you."
Liu Yu shook his head: "If you enter my Liu family, you will definitely share the joys and sorrows with us. I will not accept donations from outside. In that case, I might as well be your Xie family's son-in-law."
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "This is not a matter of life, but involves the dignity and face of the Xie family. If you, as our Xie family's favorite future talent and the husband-in-law you recruited against all objections, you will not even have to worry about your wife's daily life." Life cannot be maintained, then our Xie family will no longer be able to lead the family. Soon, you will not have another chance in the army. If people like Wang Guobao and Diao Kui are in charge of the army, will you still have a chance to succeed? I'm afraid I can't even save my life. Brother Yu, you have to bow to reality. No matter how ambitious you are, when your strength is insufficient, you have to make concessions, just like our engagement, which had to be terminated in the end."
Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, even now, we have to give in to each other and find a future that is acceptable to both parties. I know that what we need now is unity. The thoughts of the noble families, including our Jingba brothers, need Time will slowly turn around. In the future, those scholars who want to stand out will start to obtain a large number of low-level titles after years of service and contribution. Only at this time can your family truly make changes. when."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "It depends on the future development. Maybe the high-ranking family will take action in advance and take these lower-level scholars under their sect before they gain momentum and become guests and staff. These are beyond your control." of."
Liu Yu laughed: "Even so, it's not a bad thing. After all, a large number of new people have entered the power system and are beginning to be able to divide powers and govern the country. No matter what the noble families do, they can no longer possess knowledge and culture alone. The Jingba Party It’s impossible to be just Jingkou forever. What I want is a country like this. It’s not that everyone is equal, but that everyone has the opportunity to receive education and get ahead. As for the size of these opportunities, they are definitely not exactly the same.”
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "This is a good thing. If the country wants to become stronger and stronger, then there must be more people with the civil and military talents to govern the country and stabilize the country. However, in addition to teaching people talents, you also need to establish a stable The system can ensure that these people do not use their talents in wrong ways. Just like people like Xi Chao and Huan Xuan, can you say that they have no talent? Talent but no virtue is the real problem in the world. "
Liu Yu said seriously: "When you talk about virtue, do you mean that a high-ranking family like today has established a stable order and is willing to abide by it?"
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Aristocratic families are not static, and they also accept competition and challenges. Just like our Xie family, we also have ups and downs, but you can guarantee that the newly trained rising stars like you can be as good as our husband. , temporarily give in for the sake of national affairs, or even give up power? If you can't do this, or even yourself can't do this, then it's best not to change!"
