Chapter Five Hundred and Eighth New Warlord
Han Zhenhan snatched the two of them and said such a rebellious thing in Wen Tianxiang's heart, but this sentence did not get Wen Tianxiang's refutation, and he didn't even get angry. Because En Tianxiang is a person who can see clearly, does the official family still have any rights in their hands now? They have rights but cannot be executed.
You should know that the country is a machine, but the people who operate this machine cannot completely command this machine. This is also a silent sorrow. Patriots like Wen Tianxiang and others study every day and think about how to save the country and relieve the sufferings of the people. But they have no strength.
"Then what should we do?"
"How? You go back and do it after I say it? Humph, everything in your mind is inferior, but reading is high and deeply rooted. Your thinking pattern has been formed and it is difficult to change. Until the time when the Song and Xia are about to fall, you will not think about changing the class status that has been formed in this country."
"What's the meaning?"
Han Zhenhan gave Wen Tianxiang a bunch of nouns that came hundreds of years later. In fact, Han Zhenhan also wanted to help him, a living historical celebrity and idol. How could he not help Wen Tianxiang even if he helped Liu Zheng?
However, Wen Tianxiang and Liu Zheng are different. Looking back, Wen Tianxiang is a real Confucian scholar and a bachelor, but Liu Zheng is just a prince and a martial artist. Liu Zheng wants selfish desires, while Wen Tianxiang wants public welfare.
Who is terrible? Who is a person? It means that people with no emotions and six desires, only one belief is really terrible. And Wen Tianxiang is such a person. All he thinks about is reimbursement of the court and the people of the world.
Han Zhenhan can use the land and rights that Liu Zhenhan wants to tie Liu Zhen to his own wheels and change Liu Zhen's fear of the Song Dynasty. But how can Wen Tianxiang tie it up? Could it be that Han Zhenhan has any good way to govern the country in the Song Dynasty?
Han Zhenhan really has it. But this good prescription really involves too much. Han Zhenhan doesn't want to give him to Wen Tianxiang. He wants to hand over this good prescription to another person, not to change his reputation and destiny, but to this person who has tried to reform in the Song Dynasty before and has also touched the interests of many people.
This person is actually Jia Sidao and Jia Sidao's public field method.
The landlords' land quota is restricted. More than one-third of the landlords are bought as public land by the government, and the public land is handed over to tenants to cultivate, and then rent them as military rations. This method is to achieve the goal of suppressing land and scheduling military rations. Although this method is only implemented on West Zhejiang Road.
After its implementation, it was opposed by the entire landlord class. Who was the landlord class? Although the business in the Song Dynasty was very developed, the officials in the court, as well as those big clans and large families, were still old ideas from the past, and land represented rights and wealth. Therefore, Jia Sidao offended many real power factions.
However, even so, the public land fauna introduced by Jia Sidao was still implemented until the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, or this set of laws was not shelved until Jia Sidao's death, and the public land fauna law still produced some results, temporarily supporting the fiscal and military rations and other income in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
However, this did not make any changes to the dead Song Dynasty. This method only relieved part of the military expenditure in the bloated Song Dynasty to a certain extent.
But from this perspective, it is very suitable for a real-power prime minister like Jia Sidao to implement a new policy in a certain China through tough means. Han Zhenhan wanted to survive in the Song Dynasty so that his own plan to go abroad, implement political reforms in the Song Dynasty, and various new policies could be awakened. No one else could do it. Even Wen Tianxiang would not do it.
If some things are people without power, they will only backfire at that time, just like the Six Gentlemen of the Reformation of 1980s that Han Zhenhan heard when he was a child. What kind of bus is written on the book, but in the end they can only achieve the proverb that the scholar failed to rebel for three years.
That's not to help Wen Tianxiang, it's just that Wen Tianxiang was harmed. Why did scholars say that rebellion cannot be done? Of course, the rebellion here does not mean that it is necessary to overthrow the current government. It's just that reform can actually play a certain role in this declining dynasty.
But in the past few days, Han Zhenhan gave Wen Tianxiang a trap. He first instilled some economic knowledge in Wen Tianxiang, and then began to tell Wen Tianxiang how to carry out military reforms. Together these two projects will definitely breed Wen Tianxiang's awareness of becoming a new warlord.
If a scholar fails to rebel, let this national hero who cares about the people and has a country and a family in his heart be a warlord. At least when he sacrifices his life for the country, someone will follow him. Even if these followers are not for the country or for the people, they will at least follow him.
Only by allowing the ambition in the heart to really master the power, control the resources, and have armed forces, even if you want to change or defend what you care about, no matter what it is, you can be better able to be strong and happy.
"The current army has been passed down for thousands of years, and it can be said that no soldier belongs to the country, but you cannot change this consciousness. Even if it is me, the soldiers I brought still cannot escape this. If you really want to reform the military system, then all the soldiers who can fight on the border will be driven home to farm, which is tantamount to cleaning up all the veterans. The Song Dynasty cannot do this now."
When Han Zhenhan said so clearly, Wen Tianxiang had some ideas in his mind. While listening to Han Zhenhan's words, he kept nodding.
"Then the Song Dynasty cannot do this, can you do that? Let me tell you this, there was a general with a sexual relative in my hometown. The situation he was in was very similar to that of your Song Dynasty, but he had trained a group of warlike recruits in the long-term military system. Not only did he have outstanding combat effectiveness, but his military discipline was also very strict."
"Oh? Then how did he do it..."
Han Zhenhan said that his hometown was of course the General Qi Jiguang in Chinese history. In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were in trouble on the southeast coast. After Qi Jiguang's three years, Qi Jiguang drove the Japanese pirates back to the sea to safeguard the people and protect the country. The problems he encountered at that time might not be much worse than Wen Tianxiang's current moment. The government was corrupt, but Qi Jiguang received the support of his superiors. Otherwise, the Qi family's army would not have military supplies and would not have used fire sticks to fight against the enemy. So Han Zhenhan distorted this story.
"First of all, this General Qi is not a general, but a Confucian general..."
"Oh, for you who also study Confucianism and worship saints..."
