In fact, there is another problem, that is, the aristocratic families of this era are different from the gentry and landlord class of later generations.
The powerful families of this era are greedy and selfish.
But it is not completely corrupt.
On the contrary, it possesses almost 90% of the elites in the country of Qin.
And internally, it is also very progressive.
Among them, the so-called poor families want to rise again, the newly emerging powerful families strive to become new wealthy families through accumulation, and the wealthy families want to become the top families with three highest officials for generations and many great scholars.
Even in the top-tier aristocratic families, there are many mediocre people, or people who live in luxury and extravagance, or people who live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
But there are also still great talents and famous scholars who have been cultivated with the foundation of countless generations.
Even he was still not satisfied. They not only wanted to influence the world, but also wanted to completely control it.
Or like the princes in the Middle Ages, they can truly divide the world.
Because of this, the threat of aristocratic families has been a problem for Qin kings of all generations. For this reason, they had to support relatives by marriage and even eunuchs to compete with the aristocratic families in the world.
However, Zhao Xin and his predecessor experienced the disasters caused by foreign relatives and eunuchs firsthand.
He hates it.
Now he has finally gotten rid of the party of foreign relatives represented by the Cui family.
The balance was broken.
Therefore, when he heard Yun Panpan talking, he suddenly realized that Yun Panpan also came from a noble family.
This shows how deeply rooted the world's aristocratic families are.
Although Yun Panpan still couldn't fully understand what he said, she roughly understood it.
But he said calmly: "The aristocratic family originated in ancient times. During the time of the Divine Emperor, three of the twelve ministers have died. During the time of the various nations, they divided the world into fiefdoms and made princes in various countries.
Although there were chaos and turmoil among the various kingdoms in the Middle Ages, there was also chaos and turmoil when the previous dynasty unified the world.
Emperor Taizu of the Qin Dynasty rose to power by slaying the gods, and then conquered the world. During this period, he also killed many marquis clans, but the nine surnames in the world have never changed.
Under the nine surnames, there are thirteen clans, or it can be said that the thirteen tribes are still deeply rooted today.
If Your Majesty wants to eliminate the aristocratic families, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
"Furthermore, I will speak frankly, but aristocratic families are not a curse to the world, but the foundation of the world. If aristocratic families do not exist and people's hearts are divided and in chaos, then the world will be in danger."
Yun Panpan said this, frowning slightly.
He could sense Zhao Xin's hostility towards the aristocratic families, which made her feel very dangerous.
Zhao Xin was also stunned when he heard her words.
When he first heard her analyzing the troubles in the world, he thought she was a class traitor.
But it wasn't.
Only then did she remember that she had just said "rich and powerful" rather than "rich and powerful" from aristocratic families.
Only then did I understand that in her eyes, aristocratic families and wealthy and powerful families were different.
So in her opinion, the tyrants in the counties and towns who annexed land and hid people were the real disaster.
But the aristocratic family is not.
And her previous sentence "Those without permanent property have no permanent heart" was followed by three more words, namely "only the wise can do it."
What this means is that the proletariat is the source of social unrest, but the gentry can remain steadfast even in poverty and humbleness.
Therefore, even if the side branches of the aristocratic family have declined, they are still called poor scholars, and are not comparable to those local tyrants.
This was probably the mentality of all the children from aristocratic families at that time.
Therefore, the slogan of every dynasty has been to suppress the powerful, but no one has ever said to suppress the gentry or the aristocratic families.
Aristocratic families have always been the targets that rulers want to win over and build countermeasures against.
It is advanced, civilized, and a benchmark of ideology.
And now Zhao Xin actually revealed his intention to target the aristocratic families. In Yun Panpan's consciousness, this is of course dangerous.
If the aristocratic families are gone, who will educate the world?
Wouldn’t that cause chaos and lead to destruction?
This is because Zhao Xin was kind to her, and she was a woman, so she was not as fierce as men.
Moreover, her family has fallen into decline since her father was demoted.
Otherwise, I would have walked away in anger.
After Zhao Xin understood this, he couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Yunqing. I made a mistake."
Of course he couldn't say that. In his heart, the harm posed by aristocratic families was actually greater than those of the powerful and wealthy families.
Isn’t it dangerous to control ideology and even become the representative of ideology itself?
Isn’t it dangerous that a country’s ideology is not in the hands of the emperor but in the hands of a group?
But there was no need for him to argue with Yun Panpan about these things now.
This was also because this was his first time to have a deep conversation with real aristocratic families, the so-called nine surnames and thirteen clans, so he overlooked this point.
To be honest, he has always confused aristocratic families with wealthy families.
They even considered the Nan family to be a noble family.
Only now did I realize that this was not the case in the eyes of real aristocratic family members.
In their eyes, only families like theirs with historical heritage and even the nine surnames and thirteen clans that have produced many sons can be considered aristocratic families.
The others are wealthy families, nobles, relatives by marriage, and powerful people.
They all belong to the category of people who have no perseverance as long as they don't have permanent property.
I'm afraid that even the Nan family and other noble families with generations of nobles themselves are not aware of this.
So when Nan Luoying heard the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but she remained reserved and didn't say anything.
Zhao Xin did not dwell on this issue.
He immediately changed the subject and asked, "In that case, I wonder what Yun Qing plans to do?"
Yun Panpan did not raise the issue of the aristocratic families again. Upon hearing this, she said confidently, "Your Majesty, since those without permanent property have no permanent heart, the only way to ensure their stability is to make them permanent property owners."
"Um."
Zhao Xin nodded noncommittally, motioning for her to continue.
But the look in his eyes was a little solemn.
Does Yun Panpan mean to distribute land equally in Dahuang County?
Zhao Xin was not against equal distribution of land, but in reality it was not possible.
But it is impossible to do it. If you force it, your predecessors in another time and space have already done it.
He himself had made some minor attempts in the past two days, but the results were not good.
However, as Yun Panpan spoke, the solemn look in his eyes was replaced by a smile.
Unexpectedly, Yun Panpan and he had different ideas except for the issue of aristocratic families, and everything else was exactly the same.
She actually thought of infrastructure construction and large-scale development.
In her words, it is to encourage land reclamation and then build new water conservancy projects.
If it were just this, it wouldn't be a big deal. Almost every official is doing this, at least verbally.
But the outcome is almost self-explanatory.
However, Yun Panpan made Zhao Xin's eyes light up, and she was naturally a little different from the others.
Because she had at least initially realized that she should use the power of the court to push the people to do it, rather than just simply encourage them.
According to her, the reason why most states and counties had little success in promoting this matter in the past was actually because the people were unable to cultivate the land.
