Liu Yu opened his eyes wide, and the veins on his forehead were beating gently. Every word of Liu Muzhi's words was stimulating his heart. He wanted to scream in retort, but he couldn't.
Come out, because he knows that what Liu Muzhi said is the cruel reality.
Liu Muzhi sighed softly and said: "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. There are only a few noble people who can always remain true to their original aspirations in the face of power and wealth and have the ability to serve others.
Those who have great ideals and integrity are saints. In other words, those may not be human beings. You are such a saint, but don’t expect everyone else to be. Now that we are sitting in this position and holding great power, you
A single word can change the fate of millions of people, so we must be very cautious. Only by fully understanding the general trend of the world and the nature of people's hearts can we decide on our administrative laws."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Then we need to find people who have the same goals as us and are willing to contribute to this country and the people of the world as officials, instead of looking for those people who only seek their own interests as you just said.
people."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "If you always hold such an idea, then no matter whether you are aristocratic families or common people, there will not be many talented, knowledgeable and courageous people to serve. When people go out to do things, whether civil or military, first of all
You have to consider your own interests, which is not a wrong thing. Not to mention the children of the aristocratic family, it is the Beifu brothers who joined the army together. Even if it is an upright and simple brother like Tieniu, why do you think he joined the army? To save Hu Renzhi
The Han people here? To protect others? Don't be ridiculous, okay, Ji Nu, he joined the army just to make money and get a wife, it's that simple."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's right, it's fair. He worked hard and shed blood and sweat to protect his family and the country. The country will reward him and give him enough military pay so that he can afford a wife. Isn't that enough?
Is this the case for soldiers, and it should be the same for officials. Corruption, and taking things that far exceed the salary, cannot be justified in any case. People should indeed take things for themselves, but they cannot say that they take things that they should not take for themselves.
"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, it is bound by national law, but in fact, if a person's power increases, ordinary national laws cannot restrain him, or in other words, the national laws on the surface cannot restrain him. Everyone
There has been a set of rules that have been secretly followed for many years, so how do you manage and restrain them? Send slaves, this set of rules of the family has been used for thousands of years, and the punishment cannot be as good as the officials. It has been in existence since the Xia Dynasty.
It cannot be changed overnight. People with power always want to possess power forever and let future generations also have power, because power is related to real benefits. Only by having power in your hands can you occupy the fields, encircle people, and enslave others."
Liu Yuzheng said: "This is the world we want to change. When we joined the army to serve the country, we wanted to change this dark world, not to become a part of it, not to let ourselves gain power and live forever like the mafia.
To bully others. Miaoyin, ask yourself, is it because your husband supported people like me to take the position to replace the original children of aristocratic families, just to make me become someone like Wang Guobao?"
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "Of course not. Everyone can see that more and more of the children of the aristocratic families at that time are no longer useful and rotten. It would be fine if the world was peaceful, but there are strong barbarians outside and Jingzhou inside.
Under the circumstances, if we continue to act as we did in the past, we will only lose the country and destroy the species. If the country is finished, how can the family exist? Therefore, in extraordinary times, with extraordinary people, Mr. Xianggong likes you and Liu Yi, why Wuji
, People like Liu Jingxuan re-employed you, a group of lower-class scholars, to establish the Beifu Army, just to carry out a partial blood exchange for the aristocratic families and absorb the new strength."
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin paused: "However, fundamentally speaking, he still wants to maintain the system of Shijia Tianxia. He just wants to find some people from grassroots backgrounds to join Shijia Tianxia to form a new impact. Eliminate some
Families that are beyond hope, such as Wang Guobao and Diao Kui. However, he never wants soldiers who have no foundation at all to completely control the power of the country once they become rich, because they have no foundation, no accumulation, and no ability to act.
Speaking of principles, if the villain really gets his way, it will quickly become a new big problem."
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Miaoyin said it well, when people have nothing, they can work hard, but once they have wealth, they will be lazy and unwilling to make progress. Then they are afraid of losing their current wealth, and they are even more afraid of future generations returning to it.
If you are poor, you will do whatever it takes to amass money and protect your power when you have power. This is the root of corruption."
"We have just said that many Beifu brothers have already been in this situation. On the battlefield, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they usually take advantage of local areas. If the children of the aristocratic family make friends with them, collude with them, and use their hands, it will form a terrible civil and military unity.
The current bureaucrats are plundering the local people even more than before!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Can't this situation be changed? Can't our newly trained officials take power as soon as possible and break this situation?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "It's difficult, Ji Nu, human nature is like this, and you can't change it. You are a noble person, a person who fights for the people of the world and dedicates himself. But a saint like you, among all
There is no one. Everyone joins the army and becomes an official. To put it bluntly, it is for themselves. They are in a low position and obey the national laws and military regulations when they are controlled by others. But once they are in power, they will find ways to break away from these constraints and seek more benefits for themselves. Because fundamentally
From a technical point of view, they are no different from when they first joined the army, they are still doing it for themselves."
"The so-called officials are now the first batch to train the Beifu brothers and the nephews of the Jingba Party members. Later, there will be some lower-level scholars who have difficulty in getting ahead. But these people, to be honest, are not like you.
They only serve others. When they are powerless, they will try their best to serve the country. After holding power, they will still serve themselves. They are no different from those Beifu brothers today. Jinu, you want everyone in this world to be like you
Likewise, becoming a saint is probably not something you can achieve in this life."
Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi motionless: "So, what you mean is to retain the system of aristocratic families and world, but to increase the opportunities for everyone to come forward and stimulate everyone to become a new aristocratic family and continue to sit among the common people in the world.
On their head, they are domineering and domineering, because at least such aristocratic families will be more disciplined than the common people who are violent, right?"
