The Qin State took the hereditary nobles to open the knife, and only then did it become powerful today, and this King Wei Hui knew best.? Eight? 1. Chinese Network ≈. Under the Shang Dynasty reform, the vast number of people had land and could have more children.

When the population increases, the country's comprehensive national strength rises.

Therefrom! Those hereditary nobles who relied on fiefdom to pay taxes naturally had less land and taxes, and without taxes, they could not live in luxury.

So! The hereditary nobles all resented the death of Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong. They had no way to take Qin Xiaogong, and as a result, they resented Shang Ying. It was Shang Ying who asked for the change of the law, and it was Shang Ying's idea, who do you resent if you don't resent it?

Similarly! It was Zhuangzi's idea to ask King Wei Hui to move the property of hereditary nobles to enrich the treasury of King Wei Hui. The hereditary nobles of Wei have no way to take King Wei Hui, and they still resent Zhuangzi? It was Zhuangzi's idea to King Wei Hui, who do you resent if you don't resent it?

In order to expand the population, in order to reduce the burden of the people, and let the people actively have children, it is necessary to reclaim new land, and! These lands belong to the reclaimers. In fact! Not owned by the reclaimers, but! In disguise, it became owned by King Wei Hui.

Because! In the past, most of the land of the Wei king was divided into hereditary nobles and officials at all levels, as well as people with merit, and the remaining part belonged to the king. The king then collected taxes to ensure the functioning of the state institutions.

And the landlords who divided the land were their own, except for the taxes they paid to the king. They don't have a huge organizational body of state institutions to feed, so! All the taxes collected became their private property, which they were left to squander.

So! The big feudal landlords were richer than the kings. They enjoyed life better than kings. Other than that! They don't have to worry much yet. The king also has to worry about national affairs, and he also has to think about how to make the country strong and how not to be bullied by other vassal states. When the country becomes stronger, it has to think about how to dominate, and! The affairs of the king's house.

The king also has a lot of family affairs, what kind of succession to the throne? How do the heirs inherit the ancestral business? Where are they going to be sealed? Wait a minute!

So! The older a vassal state, the longer a king reigns, and the more heirs there are, the more problems will accumulate. One of the most common problems comes with the issue of dividing land. With the extension of time, it reached the point where the king had no land to seal.

Because! The land of a vassal state was divided in the early years, and the later kings did not have much land to give to their heirs. Even if the heirs were divided, the repeated taxation would be unbearable for the people there. Otherwise? It is necessary to intercept the taxes paid to the state.

Because! If you don't levy too much tax, you will inevitably have to cut off the flow. Otherwise? Who will feed these people? So! The longer the years and the more people (hereditary aristocrats) ate idle meals, the more social problems there were.

At this time, the king has to find a fork and "clean up" those hereditary nobles who have been in decline for a long time. That is, to find a reason, to kill you on a charge, or to confiscate your land or something.

Plainly! It's the family who makes the family.

Originally! They are all handed down from one ancestor. Maybe? The ancestors of this declining hereditary family were once celebrities around the king at that time, or meritorious heroes, or meritorious uncles. As a result, when a certain generation of future generations begins, they begin to decline without enterprising.

In fact! All the people of the Great Zhou world, their ancestors may be a family. Didn't you say: 800 years ago it was one?

But what about later? The family doesn't recognize their family anymore.

Originally! This sub-sealing system is unreasonable, and this is one of them. Second! fed generations of unearned people. These unearned people, by virtue of their privileges, oppress the broad masses of the people. At last! Because of the "uneven distribution of dirt" between the privileged people, they turn their faces. Third! This system of feudalism gave people outside the privilege a justified incentive to "rebel". Because! Once you have overthrown others and obtained privileges, you can enjoy the honor of future generations.

So! This system of partitioning contains the root cause. It also allows some people who think they are "wise" to see the essence of life of "getting by and living". Because! Happiness changes hands at any time, and it is better to be happy for a while.

Under the reminder of Zhuangzi, King Hui of Wei was moved and decided to move those hereditary nobles of Wei and extort another sum. The hereditary system must be rewritten, and they cannot be allowed to have too much property. The right of hereditary nobility should be calculated according to the hereditary population and rank, and a certain tax rate cannot be levied across the board.

But? If you want to move the hereditary aristocracy, it's not so easy? Bound to cause civil unrest? The current state of Wei is empty of national power, and if these hereditary nobles unite, it is possible to overthrow your throne. And then! Assist the sons they can control to inherit the throne.

"You go back first!" Wei Hui Dynasty glared at Hui Shi, and then waved his hand.

Seeing that Hui Shi was very reluctant, King Wei Hui angrily slapped his hand on the desk.

"Smack!"

Hui Shi was so frightened that he had to get up and come to the desk, kowtow to King Wei Hui, and leave.

"You all stand down!" King Wei Hui shouted at the eunuch and the others again. And then! He looked at the eunuch and nodded at him.

The chief eunuch knew that King Wei Hui was going to have a secret conversation with Zhuangzi, and no one was allowed to eavesdrop.

This is no joke! What if the hereditary nobles knew that King Wei Hui was going to move their property and fiefdoms, and still didn't unite to rebel?

Zhuangzi has not studied much and not deeply in this area.

He analyzes social phenomena and looks at problems from a philosophical perspective.

In reality, the situation is different, different vassal states and different kings have their own feudal systems, and they all have a strict set of implementation plans, that is, the so-called rules of the ancestors.

But! It's about the same! All the vassal states in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a feudal system.

Exactly how to reform can only be flexibly applied according to the specific situation. In a word! Civil strife cannot be introduced. The best way to do this was to get the hereditary nobility to voluntarily raise donations.

"Zhuangzi? What's the best way to do it? ”

"This?" Zhuangzi was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry! I keep you safe! It will not be persecuted by the Qin people like Shang Ying! I'm telling you! As soon as Qin Xiaogong dies, Shang Ying will die! ”

"Shang Ying has his own fiefdom! It's probably the back road that Qin Xiaogong prepared for him, right? ”

"Wrong!" King Wei Hui interrupted: "Think it's over if you quit?" The Qin people will not let him go! You'll just have to wait and see! Shang Ying will die! ”

"This?"

Zhuangzi did not emphasize that he had already expected such a day in Shang Ying. And Shang Ying himself had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later. So! He had long since sent his son to the people to hide, leaving himself a lineage of descendants.

"Don't worry! I will make sure that you leave Wei safely, and no one will know that you gave me the idea. Go ahead! King Wei Hui said, nodding towards Zhuangzi.

"This!" Zhuangzi said truthfully: "I don't know about the feudal system of your Wei State, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. In this case, we must take measures according to the actual situation. You'd better tell me what you think first, and I'll take it as a reference......"
