Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2864: It's hard to equal the title of subrogation

Liu Yu raised his brows, and said solemnly: "That's not the case. We are not those high-ranking families. On the first day I seized power, I held a meeting of the Beijing Eight Brothers, clarifying our system, and having merit. Regarding the title as an official, but this title is not a hereditary replacement. We will not engage in the kind of inspection system of aristocratic family, let alone restore the previous nine-rank Zhongzheng system. We have eaten enough before giving people a ride on the head. Relying on the suffering of bullying by family background and background, we will never allow such a system to continue!"

Liu Muzhi sighed: "I believe you think so, but can you guarantee that all brothers think the same way? You know, most people do not oppose unfairness and inequality, but because they are not Under a fair system, it belongs to the bullying party, but if it can become the bully under an unfair system, then you will want to wait for this unfair system for generations to come, and your children and grandchildren will always take advantage of this. Didn’t those aristocratic families also come here in this way? They were born in a small age, relying on their ability to make merits and careers, and finally became new bullies after they took over power. The so-called dynasty change and the change of ownership are not repeating this again and again. Reincarnation?"

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Yes, because humans are inherently greedy and want to take advantage of their own benefits, we can only use a relatively fair system to restrain this human greed. We were in Beijing and the court. It is stipulated in the law that the title must be surrendered, and the Big Three of Beijing Eight also have to replace them every five years, and the candidates of the giants must be publicly recommended by all the Beijing Eight brothers. Isn't it to prevent this kind of monopoly, or even hereditary inheritance, from becoming a newcomer? Did the situation of the aristocratic family in China happen? At that time, the brothers and officials in the court also agreed. Now this is the national law of the Dajin Dynasty."

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "This is a national law that only you, a noble elder brother, can abide by. At the beginning, my brothers agreed because they had not tasted the benefits of power at the time, and few people have even truly enjoyed wealth. Now, they have become generals with soldiers or officials of prefectures and counties. In the worst case, they can also take a knighthood back to be a rich man and live a life of worry-free food and clothing. Compared with the previous poor and destitute, they have to spend their lives. The days of fighting for wealth are a world of difference. When they are still the same as before when they built righteousness, you will give up everything you have on impulse and recognize you as a big brother, so that your children and grandchildren will not be able to enjoy the wealth?"

Liu Yu said solemnly: "I have explained this to my brothers many times a long time ago. We want to overthrow this unfair world, not to turn ourselves into the next unfair world. If people have nowhere to go. Go, then in the end, people will only leave your children and grandchildren nowhere to go. There will be people like us who grew up in the poor and the last to overthrow our descendants like today’s aristocratic families. If you want to get rich and honor for a long time. Respect, only to let others have the opportunity to come forward, there is a fair system, we have the power, we have the title, which determines that our children and grandchildren have more opportunities than others. If we can’t keep it, our children and grandchildren are incompetent, not us. I'm sorry for them!"

Liu Muzhi hooked the corner of his mouth: "It was very good. Everyone accepted it at the time, but after enjoying a long time of wealth, would you still agree? If you think of the title, land, wealth, and slavery that you have earned in this life, it's here. My son is going to be downgraded by one rank, half shrunk, how many people can stand it? You are a noble slave, and you are a kind heart, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like you. Or, you can be like you. , Very few!"

Liu Yu said solemnly: "Then you can earn the title by your own ability. When the old man is still alive, he will give his children and grandchildren enough opportunities. Whether it is a military position or an official network, they are far better than ordinary people. , This time we went to Nanyan, didn’t it mean that many old brothers took their nephews into the army to join the war? Didn’t we just want to make new achievements, keep the titles of our children and grandchildren, and even earn more?!"

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, many people came with their nephews and nephews, but also many nephews and nephews died in battle, not to mention, a son and a nephew of Sun Chu, two nephews of Yu Qiujin, The Raptors himself, Zhuge Limin’s two sons, and a dozen nephews of the Shen family died heroically. Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and going to the battlefield is a high-risk thing. If you stay at home, you can keep the chance of wealth. , Why bother to bet your life like this?"

Liu Yu said coldly: "They don't need to come. If they don't come, some people want to come. Wealth and wealth are always in danger. Isn't my life hanging by a thread on the battlefield? Don't you and Miao Yin also almost died? To be rich and unwilling to take risks, how can there be such a good thing in the world?!"

Liu Muzhi sighed: "These great principles are very difficult to overcome the selfish desires of people. If you want to maintain your public heart and the ideal of equality for everyone, you have to suppress the desire of your brothers to get promoted and get rich. The prohibition of plundering Guanggu is already confronting them? I am afraid that there will be more and more conflicts in the future, and what I am worried about is that our opponents may do the opposite, here Point to find a way to provoke the selfish desires of the Beijing eight brothers and turn them into that kind of new family master. Once they have power, they will no longer want to lose ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ humanity, this is selfish! "

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I know what you mean, and many people, even brothers alive and dead, can't resist this temptation, but I can't open this head. What I can do now is only through The Northern Expedition, the destruction of Hu, the regaining of lost land, and more benefits in the war, not only for the merits and titles, but also for the newly occupied land, so that my brothers in the Northern Expedition can not only gain merit, but also get a lot of money, can it? Isn't the thirty times the military salary this time a huge benefit?"

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "But this kind of war and expansion will come to a halt. Even if you succeed in expelling Hu Lu, regaining the entire Central Plains, and restoring the realm of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, how can you satisfy the Jing Ba? What about the brothers? There is no war to fight. I can only watch the title slowly decline, and the descendants become ordinary people. No one can accept this.

   Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi and said calmly: "From your point of view, what can solve this contradiction?"

   Liu Muzhi shook his head: "I just can't think of a solution, so I am most worried about this. Send slaves. If you can't solve it, maybe this policy will need to be adjusted in the future."

   Liu Yu took a deep breath: "I have an idea, that is, those who have made great achievements can be awarded the title of the founding of the country, only one son, and no transfer. This title is only awarded to dozens of people and will not be indiscriminately. What do you think?"
