Chapter 1615 Meeting with the Aristocratic Family (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone had their own thoughts along the way and didn't say anything more. When they arrived at Guanyi, Huang Mingyuan left.  No matter how influential the three major families are, they still have no official status. This is just a private meeting, and there will be no banquets or receptions.

    Huang Mingyuan used practical actions to show that no matter what the aristocratic family is, they are all inferior to him.

    Early the next morning, Huang Mingyuan met Cui Shuzhong, Cui Junchuo, and Li Shaotong at his residence.

    After the greetings, Huang Mingyuan knew that what the three of them wanted to know most was Huang Mingyuan's many policies for the family, and Huang Mingyuan did not hide too much from them.

    "I know that you are here because you want to get an accurate answer from me. I can tell you clearly that Mingyuan has never intentionally excluded any family, nor has it ever dealt with any family without any reason.

    I know that you all have doubts about what happened to the Lu family. I can tell you responsibly that the reason why I touched the Lu family was because of the "human pigs" incident.  Otherwise, it is just the Lu family's opposition to my strategy, which is definitely not the case. I will have other more rounded ways to solve the problem.

    The affairs of the Lu family have gone beyond the bottom line of human conduct.  "

    When the three of them heard this, they all remained silent.

    The Lu family¡¯s affairs have dealt a huge blow to the reputation of the wealthy family.  The aristocratic families are best at using morality to attack the government and manipulate public opinion, but this time they are exactly on the opposite side of morality, which is also an important reason why they cannot fight back vigorously.  How can a family that makes people become "human pigs" become one of the great families?

    Whoever speaks to the Lu family will do the same thing as the Lu family.

    Huang Mingyuan fully mobilized the people's anger over this incident and dealt a heavy blow to the wealthy family.

    Seeing that the three of them were silent, Huang Mingyuan said: "You may not believe it, but this is what I really think. No one can take away the lives of others at will.

    Of course, my attitude towards the Lu family does not affect my attitude towards other families.  But you all seem to be obviously resisting me, and this is what makes me a little uneasy.

    I want to fully control the overall situation, but I don¡¯t want to do anything to you, so I invite you to come and find a way to coexist.  "

    At this time, Cui Shuzhong and the three of them looked at each other, and Cui Shuzhong said: "The Lu family's affairs are a problem of our aristocratic family, but we have no intention of confronting Duke Wei."

    Huang Mingyuan was noncommittal and continued: "Next, what I have to do in Hebei is actually three things. First, suppress land annexation and private population hiding; second, collect commercial taxes from officials and gentry; third, popularize  The imperial examination system.¡±

    Cui Shuzhong was about to say something, but Huang Mingyuan waved his hand to stop him.

    "These three things, I know you will think that these are all directed at you, but I don't think you should think so. The first one is to alleviate the land conflict; the second one is to increase taxes.  ; The third one is to alleviate class conflicts.

    If a country wants to be stable and orderly, it must solve these three problems.  If there is a problem in any aspect, the country will have problems.

    My starting point is to resolve the internal conflicts in the country, which is beneficial to the country; but you think it is aimed at you and harmful to the family.  What I want to know is when the interests of the country and the interests of aristocratic families are relative.  If this is really the case, should there be a country or a wealthy family?

    It is impossible for a country to disappear. A group of monkeys must have a leader, so who should make a U-turn?

    I dare to assert that even without Huang Mingyuan, if the interests of the aristocratic family and the public of the country offset each other, it will be the aristocratic family that will perish in the end.  "

    After hearing Huang Mingyuan¡¯s words, the three of them didn¡¯t speak for a long time.

    Cui Junchuo said at this time: "I'm afraid Duke Wei is not being alarmist."

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Cui Gong knows how many literate people there are in Youzhou and Liaodong, at least 300,000. I have made almost every soldier literate. Now ordinary people have even begun to become literate. As for Fengzhou, do you know how many there are?  Are people literate? I started literacy in Toyoshu more than ten years ago, and it has never stopped. Almost half of the people in Toyoshu are literate. You know what this means.

    "As long as I spread this out, in less than twenty years, as long as one-fifth of the people in this country are literate, do you think aristocratic families can still suppress culture and public opinion?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These people can tear apart the top aristocratic families like you without me having to do anything.  Because they want to gain control of culture, they want a ladder to ascend, and they want to become the rulers of the entire country.

    And can you stop this trend?  You will become the enemy of everyone in the world.

    Not to mention Fengzhou, Youzhou, and Liaodong.  Just talk about the world, Spring and AutumnDuring the Warring States Period, a few people studied, and now there are still a few people studying.  There are more and more scholars, and aristocratic families are becoming less and less valuable. This is a historical trend.  "

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s words made everyone secretly frightened and extremely heavy, because what Huang Mingyuan said seemed to be right.

    Li Shaotong said: "In that case, what does Duke Wei need from us? You can defeat us with just these people."

    Huang Mingyuan shook his head.

    ¡°I never thought about overthrowing you.

    What I want to say is that times are changing, and I hope you can keep up with them.  This is a rare wealth that has been passed down by aristocratic families for hundreds of years.  Official positions and status may change at any time, but the profound historical heritage takes time to settle.

    The current era is actually similar to the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin eras.

    Including the Lu family of Fanyang, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Wang family of Langya, and the Xie family of Chenjun all rose up in that era.  Similarly, the top aristocratic families at that time were also lost in the dust of history.

    The current society is constantly changing, but you have relied on your family's resources to occupy the leading position.  If this happens, you won't be able to win over the poor family, and you will just be able to smoothly join other big families.  But if you try to block the flow of history, you are most likely to be swallowed up by history.

    I don¡¯t want that outcome.

    ¡°In fact, everything I have done is to make the contradictions in this country less acute.  Including my relationship with aristocratic families.  "

    Cui Shuzhong said: "Then what does Duke Wei want us to do? Watch helplessly when the time you say comes."

    "The general trend of the world is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I hope you will follow me, follow the trend of the times, be the promoter of the times, and support my changes.

    I won¡¯t make any exchanges with you because I can¡¯t give you anything.  With your current position, unless I pluck the stars from the sky.  But what I promise is to work towards a world of great harmony.  I can't prevent you from falling, but I can give you a chance to stand up as much as possible.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
