Chapter 761 The biggest contradiction

Because of Lu Bu's vigorous promotion and praise of science and technology, a group of scientists such as Zheng Hun, Ma Jun, Liu Hong, and Shi Tao who have made outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology were recommended and awarded titles such as Xianghou and Tinghou.

Wearing the marquis' medal, they walked in the court with their heads held high, walking between the pavilions of the six ministries of the cabinet, and walking in the inner city of Luoyang where the powerful people stood in the powerful people. Wherever their eyes touched, the powerful families who were disrespectful to them and often insulted them to play tricks and greeted them one after another. Zheng Hun, Ma Jun and others felt extremely proud and proud in their hearts, and were full of infinite gratitude to their lord Lu Bu...

They all gradually realized the preciousness of medals on their chests. These medals all have a common characteristic. Only meritorious ministers who contributed to the Han Dynasty are qualified to wear them. Those who have obtained hereditary titles by relying on their reincarnation skills are not qualified to wear them. Once worn, they are considered to violate the laws of the court and stripped of the hereditary titles, and they will not be awarded the titles in the future.

As a result, the Han people changed their cognition. They voted to the jazz who wore medals and made contributions based on their own abilities and admired them, and did not admire those guys who had their own abilities who had no amazing ability to rely on hereditary titles. Their eyes were "You kid were good to be reincarnated!"

The setting of the Medal of Honor is just the beginning. Such measures to separate family background and abilities to promote the Han people to no longer be respectful of their background. Lu Bu will launch many of them one after another. For example, in official positions, they are divided into talented officials and eminent officials. Talent officials refer to officials with talents, actual military achievements or political achievements and no family background. They are naturally children from poor families or from poor families. They must rely on outstanding merits to be promoted; eminent officials refer to officials who cannot achieve political achievements without relying on family background. They are also called noble officials. They are all children of aristocratic families. They are officials who were forced to ease conflicts with officials from aristocratic families...

The career paths of these two officials were completely different. Lu Bu would like to attract talented officials as disciples, arrange them to train in a difficult environment, and slowly advance to departments with low official positions but with real power, and continue to be promoted to central departments. On the other hand, those officials have always enjoyed the noble and superior environment. Just like frogs in warm water, although they have done better than talented officials for a while, ten or twenty years later, they are not worthy of carrying boots to talented officials.

The practice of Lu Bu's training of the magistrate and the talented officials was negatively affected by one person, who was Cao Shuang's counselor, Huan Fan.

Huan Fan seems to be a wise counselor at first glance, and because he opposes Sima Yi, Lu Bu has always had a good impression of him. But since Lu Bu saw the Three Kingdoms in that life and learned in depth about this person's dirty past, he began to doubt that Cao Shuang's party was against Sima Yi in his behalf. In the final analysis, Cao Shuang's party was composed of the Tide file of Cao Wei, and these people's actions were even worse than Sima Yi at that time.

Huan Fan was born in aristocratic family. He once served as the governor of the ceremonials, Xu Zhu, and ruled Xia Pi. He fought with Xuzhou Governor Zheng Qi, and wanted to rely on the power of the governor of the ceremonials, and Zheng Qi reported impeachment, and Cao Wei removed Huan Fan from his official position. Later, Huan Fan heard that he was going to be appointed as the governor of Jizhou. At that time, Jizhou was under the jurisdiction of General Zhenbei. At that time, the general of Zhenbei Lu Zhao and Lu Zizhan, who was promoted by "talented in office" and based on real talent and knowledge and politics.

The family background of the rise is far inferior to Huan Fan. Huan Fan said to his wife, "I would rather be a minister and kneel to the third prince, than to beg for Lu Zi." His wife said, "You are in the east and sit in the east and kill the governor of Xuzhou. Everyone said that you are not good at doing things. Now you are not bad at doing things again." Huan Fan was angry when he heard his wife telling the truth, and he actually hit his wife's stomach with the handle of a knife. At that time, Huan Fan's wife was pregnant and had an abortion.

Lu Bu has not encountered many children of aristocratic families like Huan Fan, but as the rule of aristocratic families has become more stable, by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many children of aristocratic families who were even more ill-dead than Huan Fan, and finally turned the land of China into a paradise for the Five Barbarians to show off their evil deeds.

Because of the tenacious resistance of Han people such as Ran Min, Xie An, Zu Di, etc., greatly curbed the poisoning and destruction of the Han people by the Five Barbarians' invasion of China, many Han people after Ri did not understand how miserable the Five Barbarians invasion of China were.

If Lu Bu had not emerged from the sky, the Hu people who entered the Passerife, such as the Jie tribe, Bainu tribe, Dingling tribe, Tiefu tribe, Lushuihu, Xianbei, and the migrant tribes of the nine major stone Hu were all blond and blue-eyed whites, including the Di tribe, the Dayue Di main body, was also white. Especially during the Jie people, the Hu people were mostly whites. If they killed all the Han people in the north and reproduced in the Central Plains, according to the characteristics of the white bloodline, all Hu people would become a blond and blue-eyed race and would seek living space to the south. If three million people in the south were killed, or most of the Han people were killed, a small number of Han people were dissolved into a new race, rather than other Hus, they were basically killed. The Hu people, who only accounted for less than a few percent of the Han people in the north, were dissolved into the Han people in the north, and it is very likely that the Han people would perish like the ethnic groups of the other three ancient countries.

Obviously, if Lu Bu was in the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system for the throne like Cao Pi, and to win over the aristocratic families and let them continue to grow up, and like Sima Yi, he won over the aristocratic families in order to complete the magpie's nest, and continue to develop like that, the children of the aristocratic families will increasingly occupy a dominant position. They do not need to use their brains but can be more and more powerful by relying on good reincarnation skills. They will only become more and more brainless. When they point to the neighing war horses and say that it is a tiger, the Han people will be over.

But this does not mean that Lu Bu insisted on eradicating the aristocratic family.

Lu Bu once asked Xu Shu, who he trusted very much, and was from a cold family: "Yuanzhi, do you think he can eliminate the aristocratic family?"

A sense of worry appeared on Xu Shu's handsome and free face: "Lord, five years ago, I said that the aristocratic family was immortal and the Han Dynasty was not prosperous, but now I believe that the aristocratic family can only be suppressed and cannot be eradicated!"

Lu Bu was surprised and inexplicably: "Yuan Zhi, why did you change like this?"

Xu Shu sighed: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, an unbreakable family tradition has been formed for four hundred years. Everyone not only lives for themselves, but also for the family. Every official has the desire to be a wife and a son, and his descendants have the desire to be a noble person. Even if the lord eliminates all the current aristocratic families, there are so many civil and military officials under the lord. As time goes by, they will become aristocratic families, just like Wei Qing, the ancestor of the Wei family in Hedong, was just a cavalry slave, and was even poorer than Han Shu, but his descendants did not develop into aristocratic families.

If the lord blindly eliminates the aristocratic family, the hopes of many civil and military officials under his command will be shattered. At that time, their loyalty to the lord will be greatly shaken. I am afraid that before the lord eliminates the aristocratic family, the lord's command will be divided."

Lu Bu nodded with a sigh and Xu Shu was right. Not to mention the aristocratic family rule during the Eastern Han Dynasty, even the generals who were familiar with Lu Bu, who were mostly from grass-roots origins and were not from aristocratic families at that time. But fifty or sixty years later, their descendants established a huge aristocratic family system, and cāo, in line with the country's political and economic lifeline, more than 90% of the billionaires came from these aristocratic families.

Xu Shu also noticed this: "Lord, many aristocratic families can be passed on, relying on not only the inheritance of power, but also the family tradition of integrity. Families such as Wenxi Pei family, Fanyang Lu family, Qinghe Cui family and other families are very upright. They have such integrity and prestige and no ambitions. What kind of characters will the lord use to clarify the world style when he gets rid of them?!

Those families who have been poor and humble for generations and dozens of generations. Their poverty and humbleness are not only because of the suppression of aristocratic families, not only because of bad luck, but also because of their insufficient family education. They are not only because of lack of talent, but also because of their lack of learning, not only because of their lack of morality, but also because of their lack of morality and shame. If the lord forcibly supports such people who are not knowledgeable and have no moral integrity, what is the benefit of the country!"

Lu Bu sighed in his heart, Wenxi Pei family, Fanyang Lu family, Qinghe Cui family and other families have lasted for thousands of years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. How could they maintain their family's popularity during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when dynasties were frequently changed? It is definitely not power, but the prestige brought by their honest and noble behavior. Generally, emperors will not attack such a family that has integrity and prestige and no ambition, and Lu Bu will naturally not.

Lu Bu was born in the middle and lower class in this life and in that life, and has been influenced by many ugly phenomena in the lower class. He knew that although a good background does not mean noble morality, generally speaking, most children from aristocratic families are better than most poor and humble children. Some children from poor and humble families can do very unethical things in order to find a good background, such as the rebels who jumped up and down in a certain movement.

Although Lu Bu was inclined toward the Hankan landlord and the self-cultivated farming class, he knew that the actions and existence of some good families could not be erased. For example, Zu Di, Liu Kun, Xie An, and Xie Xuan, who fought against the Hu people during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, were children of aristocratic families, such as Li Shimin who created the Tang and Song dynasties, and Zhao Kuangyin were all children of aristocratic families.

To sum up, Lu Bu will only attack the ambitious and attempt to dominate the independent families, such as the Yuan family in Runan and the aristocratic families that raised an army to oppose his rule, and use those families with clean and honest family style to attack the two above.

Lu Bu asked Xu Shu again: "Yuan Zhi, what do you think is the biggest contradiction between our great man now?"

Lu Bu had already explained the contradiction theory of great men to his civil and military generals in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. They all understood the meaning of contradiction, and there was no need for Lu Bu to say much.

Xu Shu thought about it carefully before hesitating: "Is it a contradiction between the imperial court that hopes that the Han Dynasty will unify and the local forces that attempt to separatist and independent?"

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Zhi, the contradiction you mentioned is indeed a relatively large contradiction, but this is not the biggest contradiction."

Xu Shu bowed and asked, "I am humble and stupid. Please let the lord publicly."

Lu Bu sighed: "The biggest contradiction is the contradiction between officials and the people!" (To be continued.)
