Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke thought for a while, and then said: "It is true that they are not as strong as I thought."

"Look, I'll just say you don't understand." Li Daozong couldn't help laughing.

"Then you are talking." Li Ke was a little speechless, "I found that you and my father are the same. They are used to leaving half of what they say. This habit is very annoying."

"Really? Then who is used to showing off at every turn?" Li Daozong looked at Li Ke and said.

Li Ke: "..."

"It's like this, I think in your heart, you must feel that, for example, for the Li family of Zhao County, the head of the Li family of Zhao County said a word, and then the entire Li family of Zhao County directly exerted their strength to advance and retreat together. Is this the reason why the family is strong?" Li Daozong looked at Li Ke and said.

"Almost." Li Ke nodded.

"You think too much." Li Daozong said directly without hesitation, "First of all, let's not say that each family has its own ideas, let's say that although the head of the Li family in Zhaojun is the head of the name, but most of them are in some During the clan meeting, we will discuss some issues together, and most of the time, each house usually handles their own issues."

"Of course, it's easier for them to talk to each other, for example, in the officialdom. This is true. You also know that in the system before the Tang Dynasty, the officialdom can sometimes represent the majority."

"As for the daily business and other aspects, I can tell you very clearly that almost all of them have no contact with each other."

"A powerful family is not stupid. The so-called saving the emergency is not helping the poor. If your family loses, maybe someone close to you will help you and give you a chance to rise again, but if you have a close relationship Ordinarily, maybe by the time of your next generation, your education will not be much different from ordinary poor families."

"There are actually a lot of people like this in aristocratic families, every family has them, and there are quite a few of them."

"It's not that they don't help, it's that they can't help. You know better than me that you don't have to worry about inequalities. If you help one, will you help the others? Of course, if you say that there are other relationships between you, it is natural." Say something else."

"So the powerful families are far from being as united as you think. At most, some down-and-out families don't dare to make mistakes because they want to ask the master's family, and they can also rely on the strength of the master's family to read books. , As long as you have books to read, you will have the capital to stand up."

"The actual situation is what you said. In fact, the powerful family is far from being as powerful as you think, and it is so popular. Of course, there are many outstanding people in the powerful family, such as the deceased Duke of Lai, Du Keming."

"But again, there are idiots."

"So, you thought of them as a very large whole, and you tried your best, but in the end, they couldn't bear your methods at all. I always thought you understood this, but then I found out that it wasn't, you It's just that I simply think they are very powerful, so I have to use these methods." Li Daozong said with a suppressed smile.

Li Ke: "..."

You can't blame me for this. What you see in later generations is how strong the powerful families are evaluated in history. Li Shimin and the other historical strongmen can't do anything about each other. Of course Li Ke feels that they are strong.

And after coming to Datang, what Li Ke saw and came into contact with was basically the most powerful house of each powerful family, and of course he would think that they should be so powerful.

However, when Li Daozong said this, Li Ke understood that he had entered a state of information error. When looking at this kind of historical information from the perspective of future generations, his subconscious mind would automatically use modern society to substitute it.

When you think that these powerful families are so strong, it is because you imagined the ancient society as a powerful social system like modern times, and these families can control the entire society, how powerful it is.

But in fact, the ancient social system of Tang Dynasty is far more fragile than imagined, and it is incomparable with modern times, and the two sides are not of the same order of magnitude at all.

Compared with some small countries with a small area in later generations, compared with the capitalist families who frequently control the infrastructure of these countries, these aristocratic families are not that strong at all.

Of course, they don't need it. After all, except for the emperor, the rest are their people. In this case, what infrastructure do they need to control?

This is the essential difference in cognition, and this is the result of information errors.

"Forget it, this is also a good thing, at least they were all beaten to the ground, I am not two people fighting each other, you do one move and I do the other, of course I have a big move to put people down directly, in this case, It also saves follow-up trouble." Li Ke thought for a while, and said helplessly.

"The fact is such a fact." Li Daozong thought for a while, and indeed what Li Ke said was the same.

"However, you people are really interesting. Why did you start to teach me this knowledge after I got married?" Li Ke looked at Li Daozong and the others helplessly and said.

"Eh... isn't that how people are passed down?" Li Daozong choked and said.

Li Ke thought for a while, okay, there's nothing wrong with it.

"However, your move during the Chinese New Year this year really hit the top of the family." Li Daozong thought of something and said with a smile.

"You mean the cultivation of the second sons and bastards of those aristocratic families?" Li Ke immediately understood what Li Daozong was talking about.

"Yes." Li Daozong nodded, "That's why I thought you understood their weakness."

"Forget it, this is also part of the original plan. They have wasted too many resources, and now Datang needs these talents." Li Ke shook his head and said, he just didn't want those people to be of one mind with the powerful family.

As long as they are not of one mind, Li Ke dares to use them.

"It's good. There are many people in each family who are angry because of the injustice of the master's family. When there is no way out, they may dare not speak out, but when there is a way out, some people will vent it." Li Daozong smiled.

"Actually, Li Zhen'e told me about this matter." Li Daozong added.

"Oh?" Li Ke looked over curiously.

"He said that your move, Your Highness, was too ruthless, and almost dug the roots of the powerful family." Li Daozong said with a smile, "It is estimated that the five surnames and Qiwang will make changes. It seems that these people are the bastards of some families. Branches and so on, but they are like the side branches of a big tree except the main root system, seemingly unimportant, but they are indispensable.”

"Without these people, the size of these aristocratic families will be reduced by two-thirds."

"So, I guess the rule that five surnames and seven surnames do not intermarry with other surnames will also be changed."

"Oh?" Li Ke glanced at Li Daozong in surprise, changed so quickly?Didn't they stop this behavior in history until Li Zhi issued an imperial edict?

Well, my son is only 19 months old, so of course he doesn't know how to read my novels... If he was older, it wouldn't be so difficult to take care of.
