Chapter 441 Chai Rong's Ambition

Pei Yu died, and died at the door of the palace, and his brain was knocked out.

Chai Rong gritted his teeth, "The old thief disobeyed the imperial edict and committed suicide in the palace. He was a man without a king or father! The embroidered envoy immediately searched the Pei family and jailed all the old thief's relatives. Don't let anyone go!"

The embroidered messenger immediately received the order.

Chai Rong was still angry and said to Ye Hua: "Didn't the old thief prepare a coffin? He has foresight! Unfortunately, I was not as good as his wish. I smashed the coffin and threw the old thief's body out of the city, allowing the wolf to swallow it and chew it!"

Ye Hua understood Chai Rong's anger very well, but he felt that these things were not busy.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to think deeply. Why did Pei Yu dare to come and give him a warning even though he knew he was dead? Your Majesty did not kill him, but just asked him to promote the Jingtian. Why did Pei Yu suddenly commit suicide again?"

Chai Rong rolled up his eyelids and chuckled twice.

"Ye Qing, are you testing me?"

"I don't dare. I just think that I have to prescribe the right medicine. The old man is not afraid of death, but why don't he dare to promote the Wellfield?"

Yes, it is said that the only death is difficult forever.

Pei Yu came with ambition to die, and he was indeed dead, but he died differently from what he expected!

Why did Pei Yu dare to come and advise?

Because behind him was a large group of scholars.

According to common sense, these people will not jump out so quickly. They still have to accumulate strength and wait until they have enough strength before fighting with the emperor.

During the years Guo Wei's reign, the Scholar Group lived a very comfortable life.

The world went from chaos to rule, and the martial artists were restrained and set many rules, all of which were beneficial to civil servants and scholars. They quickly recovered their vitality and continued to follow this trend. In less than twenty years, they could compete with the emperor and even win it. Just as the past dynasties have done!

But since Chai Rong ascended the throne, the situation has changed, especially Ye Hua encouraged the emperor to let the warriors enter the officialdom... This move completely angered the scholars. They were originally sure to win, but now, ten or twenty years, maybe three or five years later, the martial arts group can suppress them again!

And there is no chance to counterattack this kind of suppression!

Only dozens of people can be admitted once every four years, and in one battle, thousands of martial artists qualified to be officials will be born. With the pace of the Great Zhou army, the martial artists group will become stronger and stronger until the whole world is included in the control... Now, scholars can no longer bear it and must fight a life-and-death battle!

This is a struggle between two huge groups, and some need to act as pawns, some as flanks, some as shaking flags and shouting in front, and some as stewards in the back... This kind of struggle is much crueler than a front-line battle!

Pei Yu was honest, upright, and from a famous family. Judging from his resume, he had almost no bad record and could not catch any handle... So he took the lead and became the vanguard of this war.

He went to capture Fu Zhaoyuan, and Pei Yu was ready to fight for life and death with Fu Yanqing. As a result, the King of Wei was so happy that he raised his flag and surrendered, bought one free, and handed over both sons to him.

The first punch hit the cotton bag, Pei Yu drifted his waist and vomited blood.

After finally recovering, he swung his second punch.

This time he met the more powerful Ye Hua and directly threw out the well-field system. Pei Yu's fearlessness came from the support of the scholar group behind him.

He didn't know the names of these people, and didn't know where they were hiding... But Pei Yu knew that when he charged for the interests of scholars, the scholars in the world would do their best to protect him and his family and clan. Even if he died, he could be remembered forever and become a famous minister in history books!

So he is fearless and can sacrifice his life!

But if he restored the well field as Ye Hua asked, it would be equivalent to opposing the scholars in the world, and the people behind him would immediately tear him to pieces!

I also want to keep my name in history, so go to dream!

Wait for the terror of thousands of years!

Pei Yu could die, but could not bear the consequences of being abandoned by scholars, so he chose to commit suicide and ended in the most tragic way!

Chai Rong, who calmed down, pressed his forehead with his hands and fell into deep thought.

It turns out that there is something more terrifying in this world than death... His Majesty the Emperor raised his head and said in a daze: "Ye Qing, if I lose, a hundred years later, will Pei Yu become a great hero who sacrifices his life for justice? He is highly praised by the scholars?"

Ye Hua grinned bitterly and said helplessly: "That's true, so I dared to ask Your Majesty to think deeply!"

Chai Rong suddenly sank his face and said angrily: "What do you think deeply? Have you asked me to issue an order to blame himself? Or, let me give Pei Yu an official and mourn him? Dream! I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one can make me bow my head except God!"

What a domineering emperor!

Ye Hua smiled lightly. He was most afraid that Chai Rong would not be firm enough. Once he could not withstand the pressure, the people who were doing things would be in trouble... Emperor Jing of Han was known as a virtuous king, so he also betrayed his confidant minister Chao Cuo!

For an emperor, he can have no talent, but he cannot be without persistence. If he sees the direction correctly, he will persevere. It is more important than anything else. The most terrifying thing is to repeat it over and over again, and he is undecided. That is the real disaster!

In fact, there is no need to doubt Chai Rong's courage. An emperor who dares to destroy Buddhism and fights with gods is not afraid! He hasn't taken it seriously yet...

"Your Majesty, what I mean is to restore the well-field system. Pei Yu would not dare to do it even if he could scare him to death. It proves that the well-field system is what scholars fear the most. If your Majesty wants to completely eliminate the scholastic group, he should start from the field system. This is the foundation of everything! The more they oppose, the more they need to continue!"

Chai Rong had a deep brow. To be honest, he never thought about restoring the well-field system.

"Ye Qing, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the well-field system could not be maintained. Wang Mang restructured and tried to restore the well-field. What was the result? You know very well... but now I suggest that I restore the well-field. What are your thoughts?"

"Your Majesty, I have no other thoughts. What I said about restoring the well field is that all the world is the king's land. This is just a sentence!"

Chai Rong pondered and said, "Isn't this the case now? I am rich in all over the world. Which piece of land in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not mine?"

"Then why are there manors along the Yellow River, and why are there land and land for aristocratic families?" Ye Hua asked with a smile.

Chai Rong took a deep breath, and suddenly he clenched his fists and beat the desk hard, and said angrily: "I have been deceived, I have been deceived by them! I say that I am rich in all over the world, and that I am the lord of the world! But what kind of lord can I be? Half of the fields in the world are not in my hands, and scholars do not accept taxes and do not serve... As an official, I ask me to give them a salary, which is simply outrageous!"

Chai Rong's breathing became heavier and Yingting's facial features were so angry that they moved.

If anyone else finds that they have been deceived for many years, they will be full of anger.

Chai Rong started to question Ye Hua.

"Ye Qing, do you think I am the lord of the world, or the scholars are the lord of the world? Should I do things for them, or should they be my ministers?"

Ye Hua curled his smile and said, "Your Majesty, this problem is too difficult. I am afraid that only chickens can lay eggs or eggs to compare. Let's talk about the well-field system first and see if it can work!"

Chai Rong had a dark face and nodded barely... The so-called well fields, judging from the information passed down, are the land system of the capital of the Zhou emperor, which is divided into public and private fields. The land here is fertile, irrigation ditches, abundant water sources, high yields, and abundant harvests. The Zhou emperor distributed these land to scholars or Chinese people to cultivate... The Chinese people do not bear rent and tax, but only bear military taxes and military service. They usually pay a small can of rice and a bundle of grass to the country every year as military expenses. When they were in the war, they prepared their own weapons, food and military supplies. The Chinese people have the right to join the army and receive education, so it is also called "marquis" or "scholars".

Outside the well fields, it is far away from the city. The soil there is barren and the output is not much, so it is distributed to the common people living in the wild. The common people live in the wild, so they are also called "savages", despisedly called them "rogues". The common people have no rights, and they only have the obligation to give the emperor the obligation to cultivate the well fields and serve errands.

The other lords at all levels also followed the example of the Zhou emperor, so in the Zhou Dynasty, the dynasties, the people of the country and the common people were two clearly divided parallel lines.

By figuring out this, you will actually understand why the Ice Field System cannot be maintained.

Simply put, as the most powerful feudal lord, the Zhou emperor first chose the most suitable land for cultivation. He divided the land into neat well fields, built roads, dug canals, and allowed the Chinese people to farm on it, assumed various obligations, and maintained his dominance.

For those remote and distant lands, he had no time to take care of and could not directly rule, so he gave them to the princes and asked them to take responsibility. This formed a hierarchical feudal system.

If society has not developed at all and the resources of all vassal states are the same, this feudal system may continue forever... But the problem is that with the advancement of farming technology, iron farm tools emerge, and those remote and barren lands can also produce more food. People have reclaimed more fertile fields. The original well fields have no advantages. On the contrary, they have to bear heavy obligations. The people who belong to the emperor flee in large numbers...

At this time, some monarchs of the country who were fled to carry out reforms, promote reforms, constantly absorb talents from all sides, and strengthen their strength. The absolute advantage that the Zhou emperor originally established was weakened, and even the emperor's strength was not as strong as the princes, so naturally they reached the point where the etiquette and music collapsed and they could not be sustained.

"Your Majesty, the so-called under the world is the king's land. In fact, it was not done during the Zhou Dynasty. The land that is truly controlled by the emperor is only the circle around the royal city! What I meant to restore the well fields is not to draw a circle around Kaifeng. My meaning is to include all the land in the world into Your Majesty's control... All land must be paid, and no one can be an exception! Only when the output of a piece of land is divided and parted to Your Majesty, this land belongs to the court! Only in this way can Your Majesty be the real master of the world!"

Chai Rong was so excited that he truly held every piece of land in his hands. How powerful and powerful should such an emperor have!
