Elf version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 12: Xun Yu’s plan to control the world

Travelers often feel that they are superior to others and that they are smarter.

This is a weakness that is not only easily overlooked by the person himself, but is also extremely fatal.

Xun Yu thought that everything about himself was well hidden, but he never expected that his father could see through these hidden things.

Xun's Eight Dragons are unparalleled in their kindness and wisdom.

Xun perhaps did not look down upon the people of the world, but he neglected the people close to him.

"I knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion would break out, and I also knew how to prevent it from breaking out, but I did not stop it, nor did I contribute to it."

Xun You bowed to Xun Shuang respectfully, with a sincere attitude and without squinting his eyes.

Xun Shuang nodded and stroked his beard. There was no expression on his face, no joy or anger, and he didn't know what his attitude was.

Time passed little by little, but Xun or kept his respectful salute without wavering.

Even though Xun Shuang mobilized his mental power to attack Xun Or, Xun Or still did not waver.

After what seemed like a long time, Xun Shuang finally dissipated the mental pressure.

"Is this big man really at the point where no medicine can cure him?"

"The system is corrupt, classes are fixed, and the relationship between people controls the flow of wealth and power." Xun You put his hands down and folded them on his thighs.

"I know what you are thinking. Reforming the past and reforming the old can indeed allow the Han Dynasty to continue for hundreds of more years. Even if the cholera epidemic is overtaken by the Dong thief, you and I, father and son, can still make the Han Dynasty continue to be glorious."

"But what's the point? A hundred years later, there will still be green scarves, red scarves, Zhao Zhuo, Wang Zhuo, and even Xun Zhuo."

"Adults should see clearly and thoroughly than me. Many things are wrong in themselves. The reason why there were no problems at the beginning was simply because the people who wanted to exploit the loopholes did not react."

Xun You may have said it very cryptically, but Xun Shuang could understand what he meant.

A son is better than a father. Xun Shuang had already guessed part of Xun Or's thoughts from every detail of his daily life. Combined with Xun Or's words just now, Xun Or's purpose was already obvious.

"Are you going to destroy the Han Dynasty, destroy the aristocratic families, destroy Confucianism, and then create a new order?"

Xun Shuang summed it up well and was very calm in his words.

Neither shouted "unfilial heirs" nor denounced "treason".

Xun You didn't answer, but lowered his head, not daring to look at Xun Shuang.

"The downfall of a dynasty is never due to the emperor's cronies being treacherous and sycophantic, nor to betraying the loyal and good, nor is it selling off officials or forming cliques for personal gain. If you can see this, it has proven that you stand above many civil servants and counselors."

"What's so terrible about the greed of the emperor? What's so terrible about the greed of officials? What's so terrible about the greed of relatives?"

"What is terrible is the greed of aristocratic families, powerful people, and landlords. Under the spread of greed, the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been shattered."

"Land, food, and population, under the endless greed, the contradictions are increasing day by day. As the sun sets in the Han Dynasty, it is not that there is no food in the treasury, but without benefits, the food will not reach the hands of those who need it."

When Xun You heard Xun Shuang's story, he raised his head in disbelief.

At this moment, his eyes were full of shock.

He never thought that his father could see this, but it was not surprising when he thought about the books he had written casually in his study.

What kind of emperor is stupid, what kind of baby emperor, what kind of eunuchs are messing up the government, what kind of relatives are interfering in the government.

They are all nonsense knowledge points. There is only one fundamental reason for the collapse of any dynasty, and that is that the people who farm the land starve themselves to death, and that is that the people at the lowest level of the pyramid simply cannot possess enough survival materials!

Drought and locust plagues are just inducements. The real cause begins with the annexation of land by landlords and powerful men.

The central government is in chaos. Even if the emperor changes every day and the reign name changes every month, as long as the people can have enough to eat, the country will never become chaotic on its own. Even if the brainwashing is in place, the people can still maintain stability even if they don't have enough to eat. .

As for the methods of brainwashing, one is democracy and the other is religion.

But in fact, the current bureaucracy cannot control the central government at all, the current state and county governments cannot control the counties and townships, and the current counties and townships cannot control the villages and towns.

The common people have long lost their land, and all food is controlled by aristocratic families of all sizes. The tax reduction order issued by the central government will not allow the people who farm to get more food, but will only make the aristocratic families have more food. .

Why do people have no land? Why do farmers no longer even own the fields they farm?

The reason is actually very simple. Even if the land is divided equally among farmers, once a disaster comes and there is no harvest, farmers will have to sell their land to buy grain. After dozens or hundreds of years, the land will be concentrated little by little by powerful and aristocratic families. stand up.

It is difficult for farmers to save food, but powerful families can rely on their accumulation to buy food from prefectures and counties with good harvests.

The contradiction between land, food, and population has always been the fundamental reason for the decline and destruction of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the Han Dynasty now has a foundation for peace. The Yellow Turban Rebellion caused the population to suddenly evaporate. Without Dong Zhuo's action of overturning the chessboard, the Han Dynasty would have been in the hands of aristocratic families and would continue to be glorious for hundreds of years.

"Or, if it were you, how would you resolve this conflict?" Xun Shuang picked up a chess piece, held it in his hand, and then asked Xun Or this question.

Although Xun Yu had not decided which princes he would join, he already had a plan to create a prosperous age.

"There must be a war that sweeps the entire Han Dynasty. It cannot kill too many people, nor can it not kill many people. The casualties for the common people must be light, but the casualties for the aristocratic families must be severe."

Xun You's eyes were firm and cruel, as he regarded human life as nothing.

"The influence of aristocratic families, landlords, and powerful people must be eradicated as soon as possible before a new order can be established, and in order to ensure the continuation of the order." Paper that is not easy to use is different. This is paper made by Xun or with better technology.

Tough and white.

But what is written on it is not some handed down article, but Xun or simplified all the words into simplified Chinese characters, and there are also punctuation marks and explanations of these symbols.

"Using paper and this simplified font, sentence reading and other things can greatly reduce the difficulty of learning characters."

Modern Chinese characters are already difficult to learn, but the learning difficulty of Xiaozhuan is much more difficult than that of modern Chinese, and it is not suitable for implementation at all.

Since he wanted to strengthen basic education, Xun or naturally had to consider simplifying the text.

During the Republic of China, literati led by Lu Xun once believed that the reason why China was lagging behind was that writing was too difficult.

Mr. Lu Xun even shouted: "If Chinese characters are not destroyed, China will perish!"

As for how to implement simplified text?

This writing was not invented by me, Xunhe, but started by Xunzi during the Warring States Period, and was slowly perfected by Xunzi over hundreds of years.

What? You do not believe?

I, Xun, or the son of Xun Shuang, the head of the Xun family, would I lie to you?

Of course, these are not enough. The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.

"In addition, we may have obtained a map of mountains and seas." As he said this, Xun or pointed to the mess left by Xun Shuang's undoing of the double expedition.

"If this chessboard is a map of mountains and seas, then the territory of our Han Dynasty is only this small corner in the map. The world is so big. Beyond the sea area, there are countless people and immeasurable wealth."

"With the wealth of the world, I can support my great man. Even if there are millions of greedy people in the world, I can still protect my great man from danger for thousands of years."

Xun Yu's idea is very simple, very direct, but also very arrogant and greedy. The world is so big. If you want land and wealth, then go get it! Go grab it! Go get it!

If you aristocratic and powerful families have the ability, then turn all blacks and whites into slaves!

What he wants is for the great Han Dynasty to flourish throughout the world!

What he wants is for the children of China a thousand years from now. When they think of their identity as Han people, they are only proud of themselves and do not have the sorrow of being forced to perish as an independent Han.

At this moment, Xun Shuang, the first person to hear Xun He's true ambition, burst into laughter.

Even though Xun Yue's words were very rough, Xun Shuang could still hear the confidence in his tone, and he also believed that this child who he couldn't see through did indeed have terrifying abilities and plans.

He knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion were important parts of his plan, and the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people were pawns in his plan.

"If such a day comes, don't forget to come to my father's grave to express my condolences to my father."

Xun Shuang's body gradually became rickety, and he was no longer as energetic as before.

"You have grown up and have your own ideas, which is good."

As if something had been lost in an instant, Xun Shuang's voice became even more depressed.

By now, Xun You had understood that his father's body might no longer be able to support him.

These days, I am afraid that it was Ye Elf who continued to use his own energy to support his father, which allowed Xun Shuang to survive until his arrival.

And all this might just be to let him save this big man again, but in the end, Xun Shuang did not say this request.

Xun Shuang still had a smile on his face, "Or'er, actually, there is one last thing to do as a father."

Xun or lowered his head, not daring to look at Xun Shuang, "Father, please speak."

Xun's Eight Dragons are unparalleled in their kindness and wisdom.

Xun You knew that his thoughts had been clearly seen by his father, and today everything was just a confirmation.

"No matter where you go in the future, there is one thing you need to keep in mind."

Xun Shuang lifted the last chess piece high and slowly delivered it to the chessboard.

"Then you must, must never play chess with other counselors. Compared with your ambition and plan, your chess is too stinky..."

This was the chess piece that killed Xun Yu, but it failed to fall smoothly.

"when……"

Unable to control the chess piece, the white piece finally fell on the chessboard and rolled around twice.

Xun Shuang also closed his eyes, and his already depressed aura gradually declined and gradually returned to nothingness.

"咘咿~" Ye Yibu, who had been with Xun Shuang for nearly sixty years, climbed onto Xun Shuang's lap, crossed himself up, and fell into a deep sleep.
