Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 52 050, Gu Yong's head buzzing with melon seeds
Gu Yong couldn't help being a little angry. Gu Yong is also an arrogant person. He thinks that even if his views are not unparalleled, they are definitely not ordinary views. Chen Yuan actually said that he was wrong, and Gu Yong had to go to the root of it. Ask the bottom.

"So, I would like to hear my brother's opinion."

It must be a good idea, if you really do something, Chen Yuan might lose to Gu Yong, but if you want to talk about the world, Chen Yuan thinks he is the second, and no one dares to admit that he is the first.

"What senior brother said just now is really very sublime, far surpassing the common people."

Chen Yuan praised Gu Yong first, no matter what he said, he was also his senior brother, so he still had to give him some face, otherwise he would be criticized badly and not friendly at all.

When Gu Yong heard Chen Yuan giving him a thumbs-up, he didn't show any expression on his face, and he still looked calm.

Chen Yuan didn't take it seriously, and continued to say: "Although what senior brother said is subtle, there are still some imperfections."

Gu Yonggong cupped his hands: "I also ask my junior brother to explain in detail, and Yong will listen attentively."

Chen Yuan smiled, he knew that Gu Yong must be a little upset, but he convinced you after a while.

Chen Yuan said directly: "Senior brother just said that the world will be safe, but I want to say that the chaos in the world has just begun. What do you think, brother?"

Gu Yong shook his head: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is such a huge rebellion that it is about to be quelled. Is there any more chaotic situation than the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild. Brother, do you think this is messy enough?"

Gu Yong was startled: "How is it possible?"

Chen Yuan smiled lightly: "How is it impossible?"

"There are eunuchs and relatives in the court who fight each other for power, and there are powerful people with ulterior motives. What's more, they have the heart to replace them. The living people have almost no place to stand. If they die, they die. Waiting for death, the country dies. However, they already have nothing, so they are not afraid of losing anything, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just the beginning, and a greater catastrophe is coming."

Gu Yong was silent when he heard the words.

As one of the four great powers in Wu County, Gu Yong was born in the Gu family. Naturally, Gu Yong is well aware of the actions of those in the family. They are naturally greedy for the land, annexing the land endlessly, and those people are either reduced to domestic slaves or starved to death. will create a situation.

A large number of self-cultivating farmers, that is, ordinary people, have been reduced to powerful domestic slaves, which has caused the strength of the powerful to expand rapidly. This is why the powerful in this era can arm tens of thousands of soldiers without taking the initiative.

Because they are not short of food or people.

In this way, the powerful landlords are strong, but the strength of the country is weakening.

Because there are fewer and fewer people who pay taxes, the powerful landlords are stealing the power of the country to strengthen the power of their own families.

Although Gu Yong is aware of this situation, as a member of the powerful landlords, Gu Yong is naturally impossible to oppose, and he is powerless to oppose it. He can only do his best to make the lives of those who have been reduced to domestic slaves better.

However, Gu Yong doesn't think this is a bad thing: "Although what my junior brother said hits the point, it is unavoidable to exaggerate. Perhaps becoming a domestic slave of a powerful landlord is also a good choice."

Chen Yuan laughed: "Brother, do you believe this? What is a house slave? It's just an item of the family. You don't need to pay for your life if you kill it at will. At most, you just pay some money. If it's not a last resort, Who wants to be a slave!"

Gu Yong couldn't help but blush when Chen Yuan said it.

Chen Yuan continued: "If this problem is not resolved, the world will never be truly stable. Even if you temporarily suppress the struggle of these poor people, you cannot suppress them forever. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and sometimes it’s not that there is no resistance, but that the degree of oppression is not enough. The peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, the green forest and red eyebrow uprising, and the current Yellow Turban Rebellion, these living examples all illustrate this point.”

Gu Yong was a little speechless by Chen Yuan's words, and blurted out in a hurry: "It has been like this for hundreds of years. As long as Mingjun and virtuous ministers are alive, they can create a prosperous world. Hanwu Guangwu is like this, so why not ?”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Senior brother said that the prosperity of the world has something to do with the people of the world. Those who should not have enough to eat are still hungry, and those who should do hard work are still doing hard work. It is not a little bit less in the prosperous world."

Gu Yong fell silent.

After a long time, Gu Yong sighed: "Do you have a solution, Junior Brother?"

After all, Gu Yong is still an ambitious young man. Although he was born in the Gu family of Wu County, but because he was deeply influenced by Cai Yong, he has a feeling of compassion for the poor people in his heart.

Chen Yuan nodded: "I looked through the history books, thought about it for thousands of years, and went all over the world, and finally realized the root cause of these problems, which is internal friction."

"Internal friction."

"Yes, internal friction, needless to say, when the emperor and ministers are faint, their various behaviors are internally consuming the power of the entire country. Even the wise and virtuous ministers, in the early days, in order to mix the world and realize their ideals and ambitions, they can still conquer the country. Far away, so that the power of the whole country is deployed in one place, and the internal friction is not serious."

"However, once they have accomplished their own goals, they lose their motivation to go outward, and internal friction inevitably arises.

"Of course, there are many reasons for the loss of motivation, both because they have fulfilled their own ambitions, and because they can't get more benefits from outside."

"So, the only way to solve the internal friction is to go outward, keep going outward, and let all people benefit, so that the outward momentum can be maintained, and the whole country will burst into vitality, so that it will not Death is in internal friction."

Gu Yong was directly bombarded by Chen Yuan's words, and his mind was buzzing.

This theory has never been raised before, so it will naturally have a huge impact on Gu Yong.

In fact, this set of things was not created by Chen Yuan himself, and those countries in later generations are all familiar with it.

Once any irreconcilable contradiction occurs within the country, a foreign war will immediately start. In this way, the main contradiction of the country will immediately become a contradiction with other countries, and domestic contradictions can be temporarily suppressed or even transferred.

It was the same in World War I and World War II.

Chen Yuan was just copying the gourd, copying the handy things used by those countries in later generations.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Throughout Chinese history, when expanding outward, the entire country and nation showed extremely vigorous vitality and activity, but once the outward expansion stopped, the country’s strength began to decline quickly. .

Not to mention anything else, just say that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three countries, Wei, Shu and Wu.

Don't look at the three points of the world, but still maintain a strong attack power against the surrounding alien races, continue to expand outward, and maintain their own vitality.

The State of Wei slapped and beat Wuhuan, the State of Shu slapped and beat the Nanmans, and the State of Wu raided Nanyue, all like beating children.

I have to say something awesome.

Anyway, compared to Sima Jin behind him, he was much stronger.
