Chapter 2494 Hand in hand
"Teaching everything from one person to another" is extremely rare.
From ancient times to the present, every teacher is afraid that the tragedy of "teaching his disciples to starve to death" will happen to him. Therefore, except for his direct descendants, it is basically impossible to use all his skills to teach his disciples. Human nature is like this, There is nothing wrong with that.
How could Fang Jun be in a high position at such a young age, while the Holy Family Youlong came out on top?
In Xiao Yu's view, his ability to deal with people is certainly part of the reason, but what is more important is his unparalleled attainments in glass, gunpowder, firearms and other things.
Is it possible that he can still teach students such secret techniques and make them public?
If this is really possible, then Xiao Yu will definitely give a thumbs up and say "the reincarnation of the saint"!
The uniform shouts from the students in the academy on the mountainside made Xiao Yu feel a little excited. The "military training method" has been popularized in the world since ancient times. Nowadays, it is also used in some county schools and rural schools. Implementation, but where can it be as far-reaching as "Zhenguan Academy"?
All the students who can study in this academy are either outstanding young geniuses or the children of noble families. Regardless of whether this method is good or bad, it will be enough to influence the next generations of the Tang Dynasty.
Kong Yingda poured tea with a calm expression and asked: "No one knows yet whether the influence of this academy is good or bad. It will take several years to show the effect. But for a major event in the court now, Song Guogong doesn’t know what his opinion is?”
Xiao Yu reached out to take the cup filled with tea and asked: "Did Duke Zhong Yuan say that the Ministry of War obtained the power of military trial?"
"Exactly."
Kong Yingda knelt down in the pavilion, took a sip of tea, exhaled, and said: "The key to the matter is not that the Ministry of War or which yamen obtained the power of military trial, but that Weiwei Temple lost this power. The influence that will follow after that, Song Guogong will not be able to see it when he is old, right?"
Xiao Yu was silent, lowering his head to drink tea and thinking about his words.
He knew that this was Kong Yingda's real intention for inviting him out for fun today. It was related to what kind of situation the forces behind both parties would adopt to get along with each other in the future. He must brace himself and deal with it carefully.
Although the Qufu Kong family is not among the five surnames and seven sects, and cannot be regarded as the first-class family in the world, its special status makes it always exist as the spiritual leader of the Shandong family. Kong Yingda's position is that of those behind him who have lasted for thousands of years. The position of Shandong Family.
Regardless of the fact that these Shandong aristocratic families lost to the Guanlong nobles in the game of Jiangshan, and thus lost their dominant position in the court, and were suppressed to death and unable to gain the right to speak, they were too large in size and lacked talents. If he is too prosperous, once he takes the opportunity to enter the court and take the initiative, he will be out of control.
Compared with the two giants, the Shandong aristocratic family and the Guanlong nobles, the Jiangnan nobles seem to be richer and have a more leisurely geographical environment, but the gap in strength is too huge.
How to survive in the middle of the battle between two behemoths, and how to seek greater benefits at the right time, has always been the goal pursued by the Jiangnan nobles with all their brains and efforts.
If you want to join hands with them and advance and retreat together, that is simply seeking skin from a tiger and talking nonsense... If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up in one bite.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was silent, Kong Yingda naturally knew what he was afraid of. He smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous, Lord Song. Today's Jiangnan gentry is no longer the Wu Xia Amen of the past. The huge profits from sea trade are so great." It’s shocking. There are few people in the world who don’t know that even those of us who follow the Jiangnan nobles have made a lot of money. How can you seize it? Don’t you know how much wealth you have gained? Even though each of our aristocratic families has their own foundations, in the end, they still rely on money. Money is the foundation for the survival and development of everything in the world... At present, all the aristocratic families have their own foundations. Treating the Jiangnan gentry as the God of Wealth, and the Duke of Song’s prestige in the court, why should we worry so much?”
Xiao Yu smiled, but in his heart he sneered at Kong Yingda's statement.
What if I am a three-year-old child?
Although money and goods are important, the prosperity of the Jiangnan gentry today is like a castle in the air, and they have never been able to put their feet on the ground. This is because the fundamental reason for the sudden rise in the status of the Jiangnan gentry - sea trade - is actually managed by the Royal Navy.
As long as the Royal Navy makes the slightest movement, it is equivalent to blocking the neck of the Jiangnan nobles. All prosperity is like the gorgeous yellow leaves in autumn. It looks like a beautiful thing, but in fact there is not much left, and an autumn wind blows. The land is desolate and withered leaves are flying.
With the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, do you dare to be so proud and arrogant that you don't know how to live and die and compete with the Shandong aristocratic family and the Guanlong nobles?
He, Xiao Yucai, is not that stupid.
"Gong Zhongyuan was joking. Nowadays, the Jiangnan gentry seems to be prosperous, but in fact they are all relying on the benefits of sea trade. This is the dividend brought by the imperial system. How can the Jiangnan gentry monopolize it? Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the Jiangnan gentry never This interest is regarded as a taboo and cannot be ignored. Instead, we try our best to create convenience for everyone. As long as each family provides people or money, we will lead everyone to make a fortune together. To this day, although the Jiangnan gentry has made a lot of money, each family has made a lot of money. But we also gained a lot.”
No matter when and where, the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong noble families must be placed in the same formation, so that they can be hostile to each other. The Jiangnan nobles can only be vassals. They must not be wishful thinking and wrong positions, intending to break up with these two behemoths. wrist.
That is the road to self-destruction...
Kong Yingda laughed, poured tea for Xiao Yu, and said: "Song Guogong need not be so sensitive. Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan noble families have been working hand in hand and living in peace for hundreds of years. They have never done anything that hurt their relatives and made their enemies happy. Something?”
Xiao Yu took the tea and nodded slowly.
This is true. Since ancient times, Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry have gotten along well. Even at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, when Wei and Wu were competing for hegemony, the aristocratic families in the two places also shared their needs and got along harmoniously. After the invaders invaded the Central Plains, the land of China was filled with bloodshed. Shandong nobles had to leave their ancestral home and accompany the Jin clan to the south. The Jiangnan nobles also provided great help.
Even though there were some troubles surrounding the struggle for central power in the Jin Dynasty, overall they were within a tolerable range.
When the Guanlong nobles rose and gradually took over the land in Guanzhong, the Shandong aristocratic families and the Jiangnan noble families even watched and helped each other, working side by side to resist the strength and expansion of the Guanlong nobles.
Although the results were not satisfactory, the two parties still have a basis for cooperation...
Kong Yingda added: "Your Majesty's national policy now is to suppress aristocratic families and strengthen the concentration of imperial power. In order to ensure the stability and continuation of the government, this kind of suppression must be focused on and cannot be ignored. Naturally, the first person to be suppressed is Guan Long. Noble. The change of ownership of the power of court martial is the will of His Majesty. It is a manifestation of the general trend of the world. While the Guanlong nobles are facing the suppression of the imperial power, we should wait on the sidelines until His Majesty has completely tamed them and then turn around to face us, or we should take this opportunity to get angry. How about winning the millet and winning the lost profits of the Guanlong nobles?”
Xiao Yu put down the tea cup and said in confusion: "What's the difference? Even if we gain something when Guan Long loses power, we will still have to face His Majesty's suppression later. Even Guan Long can't resist His Majesty's suppression. Is it possible that we can still keep the benefits we have gained? ”
Not only is it impossible to keep it, but this method of profiting from chaos will definitely make His Majesty angry. When the time comes to free up his hands to deal with their two families, he will definitely become more vicious.
This Majesty has never been a kind-hearted master. If he treats you honestly, he may still be able to reminisce about the past love, but if he resists to the end or even fights back with all his strength, he will be in trouble. What we must face is a thunderous blow...
Kong Yingda disagreed: "There are so many interests in the world. After all, there will be no shortage of positions in the imperial court. Either one will wax and wane, or one will rise and fall. Your Majesty will always rely on his ministers to govern the world. It is not the nobles of Guanlong. Whether it is a Shandong aristocratic family or a Jiangnan noble family, although the imperial examination can select students from poor families, it is undeniable that compared with them, the children of aristocratic families are better able to govern the country. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. "
< br>
Xiao Yu was silent once again.
Kong Yingda's meaning is very clear, so what if His Majesty suppresses the family? After all, he still has to rely on the children of the aristocratic families to govern the world. As long as the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry can gain enough benefits from this wave of suppressing the Guanlong nobles, even if His Majesty Li Er later targets them, he will not be able to If you don't give up some of the benefits, there will still be a lot left...(End of Chapter)
