He Lanmin's eyes were shining, and her chest was rising and falling slightly. It could be seen that she was having a very fierce ideological struggle. After a long time, she sighed and said: "What you said about compiling households and equalizing the people is to disperse them."
Our tribe, like Tuoba Si, dispersed our tribesmen to various places, to various prefectures, counties and villages in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Will we no longer have the title of Helan tribe from now on?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, but I will not divide your people into other tribes like Tuoba Si and let them be slaves and be slaughtered by others. I will make them the common people of our Jin Dynasty.
The people, like us Han people, were given land, farm tools, and churches
Their farming and weaving skills taught them so that they could earn their own living and live in peace and hope like all our Han people in the Jin Dynasty. From now on, there were only people from the Jin Dynasty, not the people of the Helan tribe. This
Do you accept the result, Mrs. Helan?"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "Can't we let them continue to exist as a tribe and set aside half of a county for them to live in? Our tribesmen can all learn farming as you said.
They all go to be ordinary people and farmers,
But after all, they have lived together for generations, and even share the same grandfather and great-grandfather's relatives. If I let your descendants be separated like this, and leave their hometowns, even for hundreds of years, they will never be able to see each other again, Liu Yu
, can you accept it?"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "For the long-term peace and stability of the Jin Dynasty, I can only accept it, because if the tribesmen who are closely related by blood from generation to generation continue to maintain the tribal pattern and form and continue to obey the orders of a clan leader,
For example, take orders from your elder brother
Helan Lu, then your eldest brother's descendants will lead their descendants. Then these tribesmen only know the patriarch and sir, but they don't know a country. As long as this tribe leader or sir has other ideas, the entire tribe will rebel.
This is the source of chaos.”
He Lanmin sneered and said: "You Han people don't have such a big brother who takes the lead. Just like the clan leaders and village tyrants, Liu Yu, you are also the eldest brother of Jingkou. Your Liu family has been powerful in the countryside for generations and has been an official for generations. Don't you have rebellion?
, don’t your Liu family have to worry about this kind of risk?”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I rebelled. For Huan Xuan's Chu State, didn't I just, as the eldest brother of Jingkou, and with the prestige of our Liu family in Jingkou for generations, respond to hundreds of responses and succeed in establishing righteousness? I can
with righteousness
To rebel against the Huan in the same name, you can also rebel against the Jin in the same name, or against other dynasties, because the villagers recognize me as the leader of Jingkou better than the governors, governors, and magistrates sent by the imperial court.
Mrs. Helan, I am
It was successful. During the period of Wuhu chaos in China, Liu Yuan and Shi Le also succeeded. A little later, tribal leaders such as Murong Jun, Yao Qiang, and Fu Di also succeeded in their rebellion. I am responsible for these things.
I cannot allow it to continue in the future, and I cannot even allow this situation where tribal leaders are hereditary and unchanged. All the people are loyal only to the country, not to an individual. This is a matter of principle and there is no discussion.
"
He Lanmin murmured: "Country? But isn't the country also governed by monarchs? No matter how much you say that everyone is equal, can you really make the country, and the whole world, no longer have hereditary rule?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Of course we can't continue to have it. This is the difference between public power and private property. As a family, a family can legally pass on its own property to children and grandchildren, and can use its own connections.
, property advantages, and even some advantages in family studies, education, and title inheritance, allow descendants to have better starting resources than others, but this does not mean that you are qualified to have these public rights when you hold a national official position.
, and also passed directly to descendants.
To be clear, just because you have been a governor, a prime minister, or a general, it does not mean that you can pass on these official positions to your descendants. Your descendants will have their own blessings, and they can rely on the titles brought by your merits.
, starting and education have
Advantages: start from low-level officials. If you are really talented, you can be promoted to a higher position after making meritorious service later, but you cannot just take over my official position. This must be implemented throughout the world, and you will be able to
Start with me, Liu Yu."
He Lanmin laughed: "But you just said that you might be able to stand on your own for the Jin Dynasty and establish your own dynasty. Since it is a dynasty, it must be succeeded by the death of the father and the son. Doesn't this conflict with your ideal?
"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Even if I want to stand on my own and establish a dynasty, it is not because I want to inherit power, but because in today's world, people only recognize the emperor and believe in the divine right of kings. In order to force our policies, I
To spread it throughout the world, turn it into a decree, and force people to accept it, only the power of the emperor can be used. Once everyone is allowed to accept it,
Accepting the concept that everyone is equal, I will slowly change the emperor from blood inheritance back to the abdication system, and become the fundamental system of the entire country. If there is any violation, the whole world will attack it. In this case, starting from myself, I will
If you are no longer the emperor, how can there be such a situation in the future where families occupy public power and pass it on from generation to generation?"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability to live long enough to change everything. Liu Yu, you are already over forty, how many more years can you live? Do you really think that in just a few decades?
, can you change the customs, let the blood inheritance of thousands of years, and the system of monarchy and divine right be changed in your place?"
Liu Yu's heart was surging, thinking of the passionate years in later generations, and he said loudly: "I believe that as long as there is a group of people with lofty ideals who can abandon their small family and work for the world, as long as there is such a group of people who can work for the future of the world,
, sacrificing one's own happiness and even life
, As long as there are such selfless people who care about the world and want to benefit the people, it can take anywhere from twenty to thirty years to more than a hundred years. This kind of change in ethos and philosophy will definitely happen. If the world is for the common good.
It is only the initiative of some people to turn the world into a selfish one. Dozens of people
If you can do it in 20 years, will it be impossible to change the world from private to public? If you don't need future generations to sacrifice yourself and want to show your power, then becoming a sage admired by people in the world for generations is no better than being a general.
The power of the world becomes the patriarch of private rights, and he is more respected by others
Are you respectful? People like Zhou Gong and Confucius did not give all their power and wealth to their descendants, but to their disciples, so they are respected by us and become saints. And Xia Qi, the man who turned resignation into inheritance, also
How many people will admire him and miss him?" (End of Chapter)
