I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 806, no successor

Although he slandered his ancestors a bit, in Liu Bei's view, the only emperors who really cared about the people in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty were the two emperors, Wen and Jing.Although the other emperors also have Mingjun, but not many really put the people in their hearts, and there is no emperor like Lei Gong. Even Emperor Wen can only reduce the taxes of the people, and dare not be like Lei Gong. Juntian.

So facing Yuan Ji's question, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Impossible, if it weren't for the appearance of Lei Gong, I would think that the three generations of sages were all beautified by later generations! It is a miracle that such a person can appear in a thousand years. How could it appear from generation to generation!"

Yuan Ji sneered and said: "So, Lei Gong will face the situation that there will be no successors. It is impossible for future generations to be in power and continue to give the people an equal amount of land! It is also impossible to have another ruling like Lei Gong with high prestige who can overwhelm Civil and military officials serve the country and the people."

"Lei Gong has very high requirements for the officials of Dagan, and the high requirements are beyond common sense. From the construction of canals, rivers, railways, tracks and other huge infrastructure in Dagan over the years, it can be seen that the officials of my Dahan are not good. It is possible that with such executive power, without a group of powerful officials, it is impossible to complete so many projects, and most of Daqian's wealth is consumed by these projects!"

Liu Bei is envious of this. Back then, the big man also had some officials who wanted to do things for the country, like his teacher, and even Cao Cao took practical actions. It's a pity that the big man was in power at that time. Other officials who wanted to do things, in the end these corrupt officials dragged the whole big man into the abyss.

But in Dagan, there is no such hindrance. Even a county magistrate can make greater achievements than his teacher.

"But the high-ranking officials of the Dagan must also want to be rich and noble from generation to generation, just like the nobles of the Han Dynasty, and this is something that Lei Gong does not allow. If the officials of the Dagan become rich, the people of the Dagan will definitely not be able to have the current life.

So we can see that Lei Gong has been using overseas fiefdoms to lure those heroes who are not in line with Lei Gong over the years, and at the same time constantly promoting young officials to replace these unambitious officials.

But Lei Gong's behavior has exposed the huge flaws of Daqian. Officials do more and get less. Will they be willing to continue this situation?I have worked hard all my life, and my descendants still have to compete for official positions like ordinary people? "

Liu Bei shook his head, knowing that this is impossible!

He understands people's hearts the most. The officials in his hands are very capable and require a lot of treatment. They want land, wealth, and rights. They are modest and prudent, not greedy for credit, and they don't exist at all. Officials dare to strike!
Even Liu Bei couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, because those who followed Liu Bei to Tianzhu to endure hardships originally wanted to revive the family or for their own glory and wealth. It will appear in Tianzhu, but it will be an official for Lei Gong!

To a certain extent, Liu Bei still admires Lei Gong very much. With his own power, he suppressed the heroes of the whole world, making Dagan the best period of life for the people in history.

But Liu Bei also knows that the harder Lei Gong suppresses the heroes of the world, the greater the pressure to rebound will be. No matter how powerful the current prosperous age is, if the officials who created this prosperous age feel dissatisfied in their hearts, after this prosperous age is over, they will fall. The will be faster!
Yuan Ji shook his head and said: "Mr. Lei used the method of assigning meritorious officials to drive the meritorious officials out of Dagan, which shows that he has no way to solve the problem of the interests of officials and the people. He only uses this method to delay this problem, but even people like him How could his successor solve a problem that the emperor could not refuse through the ages!"

But Liu Bei still couldn't help asking: "Now everyone knows that the door to the new world has been opened by Lei Gong, but how to deal with it in this new world, the status of the emperor, the status of the courtiers, and the status of the people? How about solving these problems? , I'm afraid our Tianzhu will also be affected?"

The whole of Tianzhu has been affected by Xu Wei, even if Liu Bei fled to Tianzhu, he gave all the land to the people of Tianzhu, so with the support of the people of Tianzhu, he was able to dominate the entire Tianzhu with tens of thousands of Han troops as the core .

But because the land was distributed to the people, Liu Bei did not have enough land to distribute to the heroes who followed him, but it did not mean that Liu Bei's heroes were not rewarded with anything. Liu Bei opened a large number of government-run factories in Tianzhu, and then he put Some unimportant factories were rewarded to meritorious officials, and powerful families like Yuan Ji also saw that the future is an era of industry, factories will replace fields as the foundation of a family, and official positions are for the escort of factories, so the powerful families in Tianzhu The gentry has transformed into a bureaucratic capitalist.

Yuan Ji smiled wryly and said: "No one can say clearly about this. We can only look at their respective strengths. Those with strong strength have more rights, while those with weaker strength have less power. But all of this must be based on war, because only war Only then can we nakedly expose everyone's full strength, and now Lei Gong has suppressed this process just like the first emperor back then, we really want to understand this, maybe we have to wait for Lei Gong to die!"

Therefore, it is wise to read history. Even if Yuan Ji cannot see clearly the future of this new world, there are not no examples of situations like this in the history of the Celestial Dynasty. The history of the late Qin Dynasty can be used as a reference.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was a little sad for Lei Gong. Although the two sides were enemies, Liu Bei had to admire Lei Gong!
But now he finds out that Lei Gong is the real loner. No matter how powerful he is and how many great achievements he has made, if Lei Gong cannot establish a system that can continue his career, the great achievements he has established will soon disappear. , Become the stepping stone of the next dynasty!
Then Yuan Ji continued: "Duke Ming, as long as we wait, there is a great possibility that we can see the prosperity of Daqian collapse, and the dynasty of Dagan collapse like the Qin Dynasty! If we preserve our strength in Tianzhu by then, maybe we will never lose our strength in Tianzhu." Anti-big guys can really do it!"

Hearing this painting, Liu Bei was not very happy, and then he showed a strand of white hair and said: "Lei Gong is ten years younger than me, and he has been living well in Jidu all these years. On the contrary, Bei, Nan Zheng The Northern War is in its sixties, Shi Ji thinks he can survive Lei Gong?"

This is the saddest thing for Liu Bei. He has felt a little powerless these years, so he is so eager to set foot on the land of the big man again.Now Yuan Ji actually wants him to compete his lifespan with Lei Gong, who was the youngest in the world hegemony, this is not making things difficult for him!
