Chapter 3753 This is not Confucianism or legalism

Chen Xi actually knew the meaning of the major aristocratic families. Chen Xi also understood Yang Feng's words. In fact, many problems can be seen from the initiative of the major aristocratic families, that is, they also knew that they needed large-scale brains and knowledgeable subordinates.

The problem is that in the eyes of major families, it is only a level of millions, because every intellectual who masters technology and wisdom needs to enjoy corresponding treatment in this era. The family actively relaxes the monopoly of knowledge and establishes education, which actually means that they actively release part of their interests to feed these people.

These people are positioned as Chinese people in the Spring and Autumn Period. These people clearly say that they hold certain power and are part of the country in the true sense. To put it simply, they enjoy shares in this country. This share is not high, but it is enough to avoid many problems.

As for the evolutionary version of the Chinese people, it’s just Rome next door. Now Pompianus is almost at the age of heaven, and he still can’t solve the problem of Rome’s annual income. He can only build a country’s own enterprises and make money for the country. There is absolutely no possibility of tax reform or something.

Because of the Roman civic system, after the skin was opened, the internal interests were mixed.

The simplest point is the Roman tax system. As the first citizen, the boss will issue the tax approved this year to the elders, and the elders will issue it to their own or more reliable knights. The knights will subcontract it to other citizens, and other citizens will collect taxes according to the area.

It seems difficult, and there is no clear benefit, right? But in fact, if the Roman Empire gets 1 billion Sesters, the veterans will transfer 1.5 billion to the knights. Of course, there are bugs such as the Tenth Knight. Without the need to pass by the veterans, the commander of his own legion locks the tax right of several provinces.

Later, the rider class subcontracted the fixed taxes to ordinary citizens, saying that they needed to pay 2 billion taxes, and the citizens also collected some of them in separate areas. In the end, more than 3 billion yuan was not a big problem.

Therefore, the so-called Roman citizens pay taxes from a certain perspective, but how did this money come about? Therefore, Roman citizens strongly support the civic system.

After all, they have an army, armed, and national policy support. They collect taxes according to the area. Of course, life is good. This is why there was a time when Roman citizens were either small landlords or workshop owners. It was not that they were hardworking and capable, but that they had tens of millions of people who exploited them.

This is also why Pompianus dares to criticize a group of veterans in the Senate, and he dares not carry out any tax reforms. He cannot even raise the former. The former is not a problem. The latter dares to touch the plate of six million citizens. If the citizens don’t kill you, it’s a hell that he will be thrown away by the ashes.

This is the terrible nature of the Roman citizen system. In the past, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese people system in the Central Plains was almost the same, but in the end this system collapsed. The reason is very simple. For various reasons, the interests divided by the upper class were not enough to support it.

It can be said that unless it becomes a system like Rome that supports citizens, the Chinese people's system will collapse sooner or later. The reason for the collapse is very simple, and there is no sufficient interest to maintain it.

Chen Xi also understood this truth. Major families can accept millions of Chinese people, treat them as a transitional layer between aristocratic families and the people, and share the benefits that millions of Chinese people deserve, but major families will never be able to accept tens of millions of Chinese people.

Because when everyone is a Chinese, their promises cannot be fulfilled. The Yuan family has fulfilled a series of things such as 100 acres of fertile land, residential resettlement, children's education, childbirth subsidies, etc.

Even if the other families are not as exaggerated as the Yuan family, they have made promises to the people and subsidized them step by step to avoid the fact that their families cannot afford to support them.

After all, after experiencing a series of disputes caused by the collapse of the system from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, major families also tried their best to make up for the shortcomings of this system before restarting it. Simply put, all families wanted to maintain their long-term stability and lasted for hundreds of years.

But the problem is that the Chinese people system is destined to have people to be exploited, and there are enough people to be exploited to support the Chinese people they promoted, so the scale must be controlled, and they cannot support Chen Xi's method.

The basis for their division of these levels is knowledge, technology, and ability. Their own plan is to educate millions of people, to promote millions of outstanding people from them, and to establish this transitional layer. Even if others are still much better than before, they will only follow the dividends of the founding of the country, rather than give them the opportunity to change their destiny.

But if it is Chen Xi, who gradually brings 20 million people into this cultivation framework, then everyone has the opportunity to change their destiny, and under such circumstances, big problems will arise.

This is not a question of whether to exploit or not, but more realistic. If you learn knowledge that is enough to change your destiny, the country and society will not be able to fulfill the so-called meaning of knowledge. What will happen in this situation?

More than half of the heads of the aristocratic families in the small group understood what this meant - a strong social change, because it was not one person, two people were dissatisfied with society, but people of the same era were dissatisfied with the knowledge they had worked hard to learn.

"The world has changed and the four seasons have been formed, and the Tang and Wu revolution has followed the heavens and responded to people." Yuan Da said quietly. If he did not receive corresponding treatment after learning, he would only cause trouble.

"Didn't Old Yuan Gong notice the Xiangli motor I just mentioned?" Chen Xi sighed and said, "I know what you are thinking about. In fact, I guess the first Hongnong Yang family who spoke before should have no worries about the people's knowledge and wisdom that they will surpass you after they receive education."

"My family should be the first to take the initiative to popularize education for the people." Yang Feng said coldly.

As the first group of Yang, who went out and drank grass porridge in the middle of winter, was indeed the first to popularize education for the people. When he was in Central Asia, Yang Qi said that at the beginning they gave education to the people just to give Chen Xi an explanation, but later they took the initiative to continue it.

The first one proposed unified management of primary school children, the first one was to set up a boarding school, the first one was to concentrate the superior manpower of our family, and to educate the descendants of the Yang family and the people, etc. The Yang family was able to escape from the semi-deprived and stand in the forefront of the aristocratic family again, and the family was not without some tough problems.

"If our conditions can be surpassed, then as you said, the other party is naturally qualified to stand beside us." Chen Ji said calmly.

"I think so too." Liu Bei suddenly said, "Even if the professor is the same, I don't think you will end the education of aristocratic sons and the cultivation of legitimate sons. I have seen some practices of Chen Zichuan, and some thinking may be more important than some knowledge."

"I think so too. Some people's thinking, even under the same wisdom, are two concepts. You are right, Chen Hou." Liu Tong said quietly.

Most of the people in the small group showed a conceited look. If they didn't even have this confidence, they would have the qualifications to be in their current position.

"It seems that most of you have this confidence." Chen Xi said with a light smile. Chen Shang had said this to Chen Xi before. After major families went abroad, they started the mode. In fact, they are not afraid of others learning their own knowledge. The reason for stopping this matter now, or the root cause is definitely not this.

Yuan Da and others turned their heads to look at Zhen Yan. They wanted to kick Zhen Yan out of the group. Why did such a waste? Without the hereditary official position of 2,000 stones, your Zhen family will really become waste?

Zhen Yan smiled with difficulty, but he didn't want to. His father died early and he was not a legitimate son. He did not receive any education he deserved. After taking office, the whole family voted democratically. After so many times, Zhen Yan was confident and saw the truth.

"In fact, what we disagree with has already said, are we worthy? Are we worthy? " Yang Feng said calmly. What he said from the beginning was whether he deserved or not, and his attitude was very clear, but he was not worthy.

"It's really not worthy." Chen Xi was silent for a while and admitted this fact.

"We cannot suppress them in terms of ability, and we cannot fulfill the promise we promised them. The former is Jin and the latter is Qi. Even if it contains evil intentions, the essential reason is that we do not deserve this scale." Yang Feng's tone was very calm, but he had a little sarcastic meaning.

"Mechanical energy is used as a supplement to production, but not as a supplement to the soul." Hanoi Zhang Zhao sighed and said. He already understood what Yang Feng meant. "Mr. Chen can't reverse the official-oriented thinking. The purpose of learning is our current position for most people."

"Diversion." Chen Xi sighed, and had to sigh at the viciousness of the eyes of these people. Even after a thousand years, the essence of some things has not changed.

"From the moment of education diversion, did the students determine their future development direction and their future position?" Xun Shuang almost instantly understood what Chen Xi meant, "If this is the case, I don't agree. This is not Confucianism or legalism. Knowledge is used to change destiny, not to restrain life!"

Yang Feng smiled directly, but he didn't even realize what Chen Xi meant, but Xun Shuang's words made Yang Feng understand Chen Xi's original intention.

But as Xun Shuang said, what is this? This is not Confucianism, neither teaching according to one's aptitude nor teaching without distinction, nor legalism, neither fair nor just.
