Chapter 3753 This is neither Confucian nor Legalist
Chen Xi actually knows what the major aristocratic families mean. Chen Xi also understands what Yang Feng said. In fact, many problems can be seen from the major aristocratic families taking the initiative to establish education. That is to say, they also know that they need to have brains on a large scale.
Knowledgeable subordinates.
The problem is that this large scale, in the eyes of major aristocratic families, is at the level of millions, because every intellectual who masters technology and wisdom needs to enjoy corresponding treatment in this era, and aristocratic families take the initiative to let go of knowledge.
Monopoly and establishment of education actually mean that they actively release part of their profits to feed these people.
The positioning of these people is that of the Chinese people in the Spring and Autumn Period. These people clearly say that they hold certain powers and are members of the country in the true sense. To put it simply, they have shares in this country. This share is not high.
But it's enough to avoid a lot of problems.
As for the evolved version of the Chinese, Rome is next door. Now that Pompianus is about to go to heaven, there is still no way to solve the Roman income problem. They can only start their own enterprises that belong to the country and then make money for the country. There is absolutely no tax reform or anything like that.
possible.
Because of the Roman civil system, after peeling off the surface, the internal interests were intertwined.
The simplest point is the Roman tax system. The boss, as the first citizen, will distribute the taxes approved this year to the senators. The senators will distribute them to their own or more reliable knights. The knights will subcontract to other citizens.
Other citizens are taxed by photo zone.
It seems difficult, and there are no clear benefits, right? But the reality is this. If the Roman Empire gets one billion sesterces, the senators will transfer 1.5 billion to the knights. Of course, there are also some such as the Tenth
Bugs like the Knights do not need to be dealt with by the senators. The commander of his own army directly blocks the tax rights of several provinces.
Later, the knight class subcontracted a fixed amount of tax to ordinary citizens, saying that they needed to pay 2 billion in taxes, and the citizens divided the areas into separate areas and collected a little for themselves. In the end, it was not a big problem if it exceeded 3 billion.
Therefore, the so-called Roman citizens paid taxes. From a certain perspective, they did pay taxes, but how the money came from was just that. Therefore, Roman citizens strongly supported the civil system.
After all, they have an army, are armed, have the support of national policies, and collect taxes according to areas. Of course, their lives are better. This is why for a period of time, Roman citizens were either small landowners or workshop owners. It was not because they were hardworking and capable, but because they had
There are tens of millions of targets for exploitation.
This is also why Pompianus dared to confront a group of senators in the Senate, and he did not dare to introduce any tax reform. He could not even mention it. The former was not a problem. The latter, you dare to touch the plates of six million citizens, citizens.
If I don't kill you, I'd rather have your ashes spread.
This is the horror of the Roman citizen system. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese citizen system in the Central Plains was almost like this. But in the end, this system also collapsed. The reason is very simple. Due to various reasons, the interests divided out by the upper class were not enough to support them.
.
It can be said that unless it becomes a Roman system where the whole country supports its citizens, the national system will collapse sooner or later, and the reason for the collapse is simple: there is not enough interest to maintain it.
Chen Xi also understands this truth. Major aristocratic families can accept millions of Chinese people, use them as a transitional layer between the aristocratic families and the common people, and distribute profits to millions of Chinese people. However, major aristocratic families have absolutely no way of accepting them.
Tens of millions of Chinese people.
Because when everyone is a Chinese, it is impossible to fulfill the promises they made. The Yuan family gave the Han Dynasty to the people who moved there, but they fulfilled a series of things such as hundreds of acres of fertile land, housing resettlement, children's education, maternity subsidies, etc.
.
Even if other families are not as exaggerated as the Yuan family, they have made promises to the people and provided subsidies step by step to avoid the situation where they cannot afford to support themselves.
After all, they have experienced a series of disputes caused by the collapse of the system from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. Before restarting, major families tried their best to make up for the shortcomings of this system. Simply put, all families want long-term peace and stability to last for hundreds of years.
Year.
But the problem is that the Chinese system is destined to have people being exploited, and there must be enough exploited people to support the Chinese people they promote, so the scale must be controlled, and they cannot support Chen Xi's method.
The basis for their division of these levels is knowledge, technology, and ability. Their own plan is to educate millions of people, pull out millions of outstanding people, and establish this transitional layer. Even if others are still better off than before,
There are many good things, but they are only the dividends of joining the founding of the country, rather than giving the opportunity to change the destiny.
But if someone like Chen Xi gradually brings 20 million people into this cultivation framework, then all people will have the opportunity to change their destiny. Under such circumstances, big problems will arise.
This is not a question of exploitation or not, but a more realistic question. If you learn enough knowledge to change your destiny, if you don't change your destiny, the country and society will not be able to fulfill the so-called meaning of knowledge. What will happen in this case?
More than half of the heads of the aristocratic families in the small group understand what this means - strong social changes, because this is not one or two people who are dissatisfied with society, but people of an era who are dissatisfied with the knowledge they have learned so hard.
feel dissatisfied.
"The revolutions of heaven and earth come into being in four seasons, and the revolutions of Tang and Wu follow the heavens and respond to people." Yuan Da said quietly. If you don't get corresponding treatment after learning, it will only cause trouble.
"Didn't Old Mr. Yuan notice the Xiangli family's motor I just mentioned?" Chen Xi sighed and said, "I know what you are thinking about. In fact, I estimate that the Hongnong Yang family was the first to speak.
, and you should not worry at all about the common people surpassing you in knowledge and wisdom after receiving education."
"My family should be the first to take the initiative to provide popular education to the people." Yang Feng said coldly.
As the first group of people to go out and eat grass porridge in the winter, Yang was indeed the first to popularize education for the people. When he was in Central Asia, Yang Qi said that at the beginning, they only educated the people to give Chen Xi an explanation.
But later they took the initiative to continue it.
The first to propose the unified management of elementary school children, the first to set up boarding schools, the first to concentrate the superior manpower of the family and provide unified education for the children of the Yang family and the children of the common people, etc. The Yang family was able to escape from being semi-disabled and stand at the forefront of the aristocratic family again.
, it’s not like there are no difficulties at home.
"If our conditions can be exceeded, then as you said, the other party is naturally qualified to stand by our side." Chen Ji said calmly.
"I think so too." Liu Bei suddenly said, "Even if the teachings are the same, I don't think you will end the education of the family members and the cultivation of the legitimate sons. I have seen some of Chen Zichuan's practices, and some of his thinking may
It’s probably more important than some knowledge.”
"I think so too. Some people's thoughts, even if they are equally intelligent, are two different concepts. Are you right, Chen Hou?" Liu Tong said quietly.
Most of the people in the small group looked arrogant. If they didn't even have this little bit of self-confidence, they wouldn't be qualified to hold their current position.
"It seems that most people have this confidence." Chen Xi said with a slight smile. Chen Shang once told Chen Xi this before. After the major families went abroad, they started a model where they were not afraid of others learning their knowledge. Now they are blocking this
The reason, or root of the matter, is definitely not this.
Yuan Da and others turned to look at Zhen Yan. They wanted to kick Zhen Yan out of the group. How could there be such a waste? Without the hereditary official position of two thousand stones, your Zhen family would really become a waste?
Zhen Yan smiled with difficulty. He didn't want to. His father died early, and he was not the legitimate son. He didn't receive the education he deserved. After taking office, the whole family always held democratic votes. After so many times, Zhen Yan was confident.
Just saw a ghost.
"Actually, what we disagree with has already been said. Are we worthy? Are we worthy of suppressing these people?" Yang Feng said calmly. What he said from the beginning was whether we were worthy, and his attitude was very clear.
Just don't deserve it.
"It's really not worthy." Chen Xi was silent for a while and admitted this fact.
"We cannot suppress them in terms of capabilities, and we have no way to fulfill the promises we made to them. The former is Jin and the latter is Qi. Even if we harbor evil intentions, the essential reason is that we are not worthy of having such a scale." Yang Feng said in a tone.
It's very peaceful, but a bit ironic.
"Mechanical energy can be used as a supplement for production, but it cannot be used as a supplement for the soul." Hanoi Zhang Zhao sighed and said, he already understood what Yang Feng meant, "Chen Hou can't change the official-oriented thinking. The purpose of learning, for most people
Human beings are where we are now.”
"Diversion." Chen Xi sighed and had to lament the viciousness of these people's vision. Even after a thousand years, the essence of certain things has not actually changed.
"The moment they are diverted from education, the future development direction of the students and their future positions are determined?" Xun Shuang understood what Chen Xi meant almost instantly, "If this is the case, I don't agree. This is not Confucian.
Neither is it a legalist, knowledge is used to change destiny, not to restrict life!"
Yang Feng laughed directly. He didn't even realize what Chen Xi meant, but Xun Shuang's words made Yang Feng understand Chen Xi's original intention.
But as Xun Shuang said, what is this? This is not Confucianism, it is neither teaching students according to their aptitude, nor teaching without distinction, nor is it Legalism, it is neither fair nor unjust.
Not having access to knowledge is a problem of knowledge monopoly. But when all types of knowledge are liberalized, they do not have the right to choose. Sorry, we have recognized from the beginning that people are people, not numbers or tools!
