I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[The court curbed land annexation, but feudal times inevitably end with the death of the ruler. After Emperor Wu's death, local nobles developed again. ]

[During the reigns of Emperors Xuan and Yuan, the court announced the abolition of these systems. ]

[That is to say, only about 40 years after Emperor Wu's death, these people flew to the tomb again and stole the tribute of the Han Dynasty crazily. ]

[The story of the entire Han Dynasty was full of ups and downs, and such things did not stop until the An-Shi Rebellion. ]

The barrage flew out:

"Good systems cannot be implemented. In many cases, it is not a problem of the system, but a problem of people."

"In an era of rule by man, it is normal for such repeated situations to occur."

"Reply - vested interests will always fight back."

"Reply - This is a cyclical problem. In a specific era, there will always be repeated repetitions, and it is impossible to solve it smoothly all the time."

...

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che looked at the huge screen in the sky with a calm face.

He had already learned about this situation from the previous video.

Therefore, he was not shocked after watching it now.

The problem he was considering at this time was how to solve this problem fundamentally and not give future generations the opportunity to change it.

……

[How strong can the powerful be? ]

[During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, they dared to assassinate officials at the feet of the emperor in Chang'an, and when the county magistrate went to arrest them, nothing happened. ]

[Why? Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and they privately raise family soldiers! ]

[In fact, the demise of dynasties was related to land annexation. When the aristocratic families were powerful, the local officials were their own people. ]

[It is impossible to levy taxes on one's own family. 】

【Therefore, only by imposing high taxes on the people, the people will have to sell their land or become tenants for the wealthy. 】

【But the court's taxes are getting higher and higher, causing the people to leave the court and join the wealthy, which gives the wealthy the popular capital to rebel. 】

【In the end, it is a vicious cycle, and the dynasty will be replaced! 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer!"

"The aristocratic families allow the court to change, and they are still the aristocratic families, controlling everything."

"But every time the change happens, the people pay the biggest price!"

"In the final analysis, the power comes from the barrel of a gun. The privileged class, including the aristocratic families, holds the gun. If you want to attack them and launch an attack on them, you must take up arms and have guns."

"..."

Many ancient civilians in all dynasties nodded heavily, and deeply agreed with the views on the giant screen at this time.

They have learned about the cruelty of class struggle from many previous videos.

It is impossible for the privileged class that oppresses them to voluntarily give up their oppression.

If they want to overthrow this oppression, they cannot expect to do so in a peaceful way., and must take up arms and launch an attack!

…

[How should we respond specifically? ]

[Wang Mang, as his name suggests, was reckless and nationalized all the land in the country, which directly stimulated the local nobles. ]

[They strongly supported Liu Xiu's rebellion and eventually established the Eastern Han Dynasty. ]

[When Liu Xiu was alive, he could still keep the situation under control, but after his death, the nobles began to grow wildly. ]

[Officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty were treated very well, with an annual income of more than 120,000 coins, equivalent to the harvest of 720 acres of land, which could quickly carry out land annexation. ]

[At the same time, the military system introduced by the court was equivalent to tacitly approving the nobles to privately raise troops. ]

The barrage flew out:

"What is this? Digging your own grave?

"Privately raising troops is the source of great disasters."

"Reply - Liu Xiu will probably be angry. ”

“Reply——No, it should be to be angry to death.”

…

The Eastern Han Emperor Guangwu plane.

Liu Xiu snorted coldly:

“A bunch of idiots!”

When he implemented the “Land Measurement Order” to crack down on local tyrants, he was wildly opposed by local tyrants.

These people even dared to fight with arms and rebel directly.

It can be seen that these local tyrants were rampant.

And the Eastern Han court in later generations actually openly allowed local tyrants to raise private armies, which was extremely stupid.

…

[The Red Master said that the state is a tool of the ruling class.]

[In the economy After gaining the upper hand, they extended their hands to politics, and Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty thoughtfully brought the system of selling official positions. 】

[You want to be an official, right? Just pay money, but the highest power is served by eunuchs and relatives in turn. 】

[Just when the gentry wanted to go further, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the country. 】

[In the process of suppressing the rebellion, the court made great use of the gentry, and there were many familiar faces who stood out when suppressing the Yellow Turban Army. 】

[For example, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian . 】

[The warlord confrontation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was closely related to the strength of local nobles, such as Yuan Shao, who was born in the Runan Yuan family, which had three generations of officials. 】

[It is equivalent to saying that the warlord confrontation is another way of showing the struggle between aristocratic families. 】

……

Many dynasties after the Three Kingdoms.

Many ancients nodded.

This is indeed the case.

Behind the various forces fighting in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there are different

……

[The nobles were also a double-edged sword. Yuan Shao's status attracted a large number of people to join him, but in the end Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao. ]

[This was because his grassroots organization was completely inferior to Cao Cao's. ]

[After Cao Cao broke through Yecheng, he found that Yuan's officials "accumulated a lot" and their family wealth "counted in tens of thousands", so he issued the "Land Rent Collection Order". ]

[During the entire Three Kingdoms period, it seemed that they were fighting each other, but in fact they all had a commonEnemy - the gentry. 】

[The contradiction between the central government and the gentry is irreconcilable, so Boss Cao only promotes people based on their talents, and commoners and gentry serve in the same palace. This is the reason why he has grown stronger. 】

……

The plane of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao looked at the giant screen in the sky, smiled slightly, and was in a good mood.

He was very happy with the praise from people in later generations.

……

[After Cao Cao, the power of the gentry grew again, and the court introduced the "Nine-Rank System", which made "there are no poor people in the upper ranks and no aristocrats in the lower ranks". 】

[It is equivalent to recognizing the influence of the gentry and abolishing the attitude of promoting people based on their talents. 】

[And the clan was officially born here. 】

[With the changes of four generations of the Cao family, the clan gradually grew stronger. 】

[Sima Yi, with the support of the nobles in the court, used 3,000 private soldiers to launch the Gaopingling Incident, and after taking office, he introduced the five-level nobility system. 】

[Since then, the power of the aristocratic families has reached a new peak. 】

[This aristocratic family is so harmful, what should the emperor do? 】

[Just make do. 】

Barrage flew out:

"To be honest, the Sima family is basically trash, and there are not many powerful emperors."

"Killing the emperor in the street is something that only the brainless people in the Sima family can do."

"The Sima family is not worthy of being the emperor."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Sima Yan's face was ashen.

In front of him, many things had been smashed, and everything that could be smashed on the dragon table had been smashed.

On the giant screen, the undisguised contempt and insults of the Sima family by people in later generations made him extremely angry.

He even thought of a video that ranked the justice of the ancient unified dynasties of China.

In that video, people in later generations believed that the justice of his Jin Dynasty was at the bottom.

"Hateful!"

Sima Yan became more and more angry as he thought about it, and cursed.

……

[The system can never be separated from the productivity it adapts to. ]

[At that time, printing technology was not mature, and the prosperity of the family was due to the monopoly of knowledge, and ordinary people had no chance to read. ]

[At the same time, they also inherited the martial arts. ]

[For example, Xue Rengui, the descendant of Xue Andu, although the UP host often teased him for digging up his ancestors' graves to change his fate, even the poorest family has a family background. 】

[How strong can these clans be? 】

[Their family farms are not about how big they are, but about how many mountains and lakes they have. 】

[This allows them to extend their tentacles into politics, completely above the state institutions. 】

[They even establish emperors based on their own preferences, which creates a chaotic bureaucracy. 】

…

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

He was very clear about the harm of the clans.

For example, the "Five Surnames and Seven Families" that later generations calledSeveral large aristocratic families have an extreme lack of respect for the imperial power, and even dare to despise it.

"I will deal with this group of people sooner or later."

A fierce look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

The large aristocratic families are naturally difficult to deal with, and one move will affect the whole body.

So, although he has many dissatisfactions with the aristocratic families, he dare not touch them easily.

But this does not mean that he will always endure.

After the Tang Dynasty started the industrial revolution, this group of aristocratic families will not be worth mentioning.

Of course. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this time, Li Shimin naturally forgot that their Li family was once a part of the aristocratic family.

After all, the Li family is already a royal family that controls the world, and their interests are not consistent with those of their former aristocratic partners.

...

[If this continues, it will definitely cause a large number of refugees. Aren't these people afraid of rebellion? 】

【You know nothing about the reaction of the reactionary class. 】

【After the migration to the south, they lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but instead set up a refugee commander to prevent the invasion of the Hu people in the north of the Yangtze River. 】

【For example, Zu Ti, who rose up at the sound of the cock-crow, did not receive a penny from the court, and he had to organize refugees and fight against the invasion. 】

【Moreover, this kind of co-governance allowed the refugees to transfer their hatred from the emperor to the local clans, thus failing to set off a massive peasant uprising. 】

……

Many dynasties before the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Many ancient people were shocked.

Such means are really insidious and cunning.

……

【Then, are there any benefits to clans? 】

【Of course. 】

【During the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, the Han clans in the north formed fortresses to defend themselves. 】

【In order to survive, ordinary people would join their ranks and become servants. 】

【In turbulent times, they farmed in their spare time and served as soldiers in wartime, which made the people in this area martial and warlike. 】

【This gradually evolved into the Fubing system and the Equal Field System. 】

……[]

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che looked at the huge screen in the sky with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He was quite interested in the Fubing system and the Equal Field System of later generations.

After entering the industrialized society, the recruitment system must be the main one.

But before that, the Fubing system was not a bad practice.

……

【And the aristocratic families would cooperate with each other to survive in the war and form regional interest groups. 】

【Among them, the most famous is the Guanlong Group, and the most famous descendants of them are: Yang Jian and Li Shimin. 】

【From the perspective of development, Chang'an, as the capital of the country for thousands of years, has many clans entrenched here. 】

【For example, the interest groups formed by the four clans of Li, Wu, Yang, and Wei during the Tang Dynasty. 】

【Secondly, the continuous external expansion led to most of the military nobles coming to Chang'an. 】

【And the court exempted them from taxes, so, I call them Guanlong nobles. 】

[The reason why the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties was so turbulent and chaotic that textbooks were unwilling to introduce it seriously was because it was closely related to the conflict of interests between local clans. 】

……

Many dynasties after the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Many ancient political elites who were familiar with history books nodded.

The reason why the Northern and Southern Dynasties was so chaotic and bloody was not only because of the Five Barbarians' Rebellion.

It was also because different local clans stirred up the situation for their own interests.

……

[What if it was unified? 】

[When Yang Jian was still a general who unified Northern Qi, he found that most of the residents of Northern Qi in the war had left the court's household registration and lived in seclusion or defected to the aristocratic families. 】

[So, after the Sui Dynasty unified the country, the court issued these three orders. 】

[1. Register household registration. Now that we are at peace and unified, let's all be citizens of the Sui Dynasty. 】

[Second, register those hidden and unreported lands, become citizens of the Sui Dynasty, and obtain the protection of the Sui Dynasty. Then you have to pay taxes to the Sui Dynasty. 】

[Third, in order to win the support of the aristocratic families, the Sui Dynasty allowed slaves to be granted land. 】

[However, in order to limit land annexation, officials of different levels have different numbers, and after the death of slaves, the 80 mu of official land is taken back, and only 20 mu of permanent land is left. 】

[At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the policy. This is what should be done, but is it really so? 】

……

Faced with this problem.

Many ancient people in all dynasties shook their heads and gave a negative answer.

Because a previous video about how the Sui Dynasty perished has already made an in-depth analysis of these policies of Yang Jian.

These policies are not only flawed, but also very big.

……

[This question is answered by the end of the Second Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. ]

[After the great surprise of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the aristocratic forces left behind several large clans: the Five Surnames and Seven Families. ]

[They maintained the stubbornness of the old nobles, controlled public opinion and discourse power in the local area, and like local emperors, did not take the Tang Dynasty royal family seriously at all. ]

[In the "Clan Records" compiled during the Zhenguan period, the first surname in the world was not the royal Li, but Cui. ]

[Li Shimin was furious and changed Li to the first, but still could not change the mentality of the masses. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

He has always remembered this matter.

The Five Surnames and Seven Families are really arrogant!

It was this incident that made him determined to suppress the aristocratic families.

……

[After marrying a Tang princess, Prime Minister Xue Yuanchao claimed, "The regret of this life is that I was not able to marry a daughter of a family with five surnames." ]

[The emperor could do nothing about this kind of suicidal behavior, because the local aristocratic forces also extended to the court, and they also supported their own agents. ]

[For example, Li Zhi's Xiao Shufei and Queen Wang were bothBorn in a large family, they were even so strong that they could establish Li Zhong, the crown prince whom Li Zhi did not want at all. 】

[They were frantically eating away at the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the local area, and a large number of people left their household registration and became hidden households, which seriously damaged the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[In order to counter the power of the old family aristocrats, Li Zhi found a woman: Wu Zetian. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian looked at the giant screen in the sky together, and both of them looked very calm.

This was something that the two of them knew tacitly.

As for whether there was such a thing as love between the two, maybe there was.

But, more importantly, the two had mutual interests.

This was the most important reason for the two to unite.

……

[And Wu Zetian did not disappoint Li Zhi and dealt a brutal blow to the family aristocrats. 】

【However, when the Tang Dynasty tried to curb the power of the clans, it seemed to have forgotten one thing. 】

【The Li family itself was a powerful clan that fully represented the interests of the Guanlong nobles. 】

【Then, when the Guanlong nobles gradually grew stronger and occupied national resources, they would inevitably use policy tools to suppress and suck blood from other regions. 】

【The real decline of the clans was due to the development of productivity and the decline of the manor economy. 】

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded slightly.

This is the economic base that determines the superstructure.

…At present…

【In the following 1,000 years, the gentry class with culture as the bond was formed. 】

【Only when the proletariat takes up arms, builds a new Dragon Kingdom through bloody battles, and removes the three mountains, can the bodies of these reactionary classes be completely swept into the garbage dump of history. 】

……

See the conclusion at the end of the video.

Many poor people in all dynasties have a yearning for the Dragon Kingdom in the future, and on the other hand, they are more aware of the necessity of taking up arms to fight oppression. .
