He marched cautiously step by step, and with the might of the world, he crushed the Song Dynasty and even the Mongolian Empire...
Huang Rong was horrified to find that the brothers and sisters in front of her had already made preparations, and there was a real possibility of success!
"If it is true what Mr. Di said, this rebellion was indeed created."
Huang Rong's words were filled with admiration. If these two brothers really started to quarrel, according to her knowledge, the Song Dynasty would be overthrown and the world would be reshaped in five or six years at most.
"But I have another question," Huang Rong said, "If we follow what you said and completely abandon the gentry and establish a martial arts dynasty, then if, if a peerless genius appears, can the dynasty still continue?"
"That's right. We've abandoned the management by the gentry and replaced it with martial arts sects. Without scholars, wouldn't the people be ruined? As far as I know, there are many cases where martial arts sects have brought disaster to a region! Mr. Di, your plan is simply a fantasy and impossible to achieve!"
Guo Jing also spoke up to object... Due to some historical perspectives, in Guo Jing's view, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans should each perform their respective duties.
Scholars existed to govern the people, and farmers were supposed to work the land. Whether represented by the martial arts sects or the common people, did they understand all that much? Many elderly farmers couldn't even read, let alone participate in governing the empire.
Emperor Xin sighed. Perhaps, only he, a person from later generations, knew the biggest drawback of the feudal dynasty.
"Hero Guo, Madam Huang, have you ever wondered why dynasties only last a hundred years, but there are families that last a thousand years, or even ten thousand years?"
"this……"
Guo Jing was stunned and turned his gaze to Huang Rong. Huang Rong thought for a moment and replied, "Because, every time, the aristocratic family can cast a wide net for investment. There is no such thing as a wrong investment. As long as there is one investment that can ultimately win, the aristocratic family can survive."
"Madam Huang is right," Di Fan clapped his hands and laughed, "Then, Madam Huang, who do you think is the real scourge of the poor people?"
"Aristocratic family!"
This time, Huang Rong answered without hesitation.
"Yes, it's the aristocratic families! Madam Huang, have you noticed that in the dynasties of China, every change of dynasty is actually a redistribution of land and a reduction in population... When the population increases and there is not enough land to go around, or in other words, when most of the land is controlled by the big families, aristocratic families, and scholars, once a natural disaster occurs, the dynasty will be overthrown.
"If all the people could read and understand, would the aristocratic families still be able to exploit them?"
Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were listening nearby, were silent... Enabling everyone to be able to read and farm—what a magnificent ideal! If they succeeded, surely they would become saints whose names would go down in history?
Xiao Longnu silently watched Di Fan fooling them, feeling a surge of pride in her heart. This was her senior brother! An immortal who came from heaven to save the common people!
Everyone at the scene fell silent, letting the people make the decisions and letting the martial arts sects assist in management. Most importantly, the royal family used supreme force to suppress the world, recruiting righteous martial artists to monitor the world, and letting the people of each place elect their own officials...
It sounds pretty good. But I don't know if it will work in practice...
"I object!"
Guo Jing spoke again: "Mr. Di, Miss Long, if you have such thoughts, why don't you assist the current emperor? Why must you start a war? Do you know how many casualties there will be if a war is started? There will be corpses everywhere, blood everywhere..."
"Hey, Mr. Guo, is there really any hope for a country that even Yue Wumu couldn't save?"
Di Fan sighed and pointed out the key issue.
"That was the work of treacherous officials in the court, and the Emperor... the Emperor..."
Guo Jing wanted to argue, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't even finish them.
Huang Rong, standing by, walked over to comfort Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, the Song Dynasty is not without intelligent people, nor are there people who want change. But change would only affect the interests of too many people, making it impossible to achieve... Decades ago, Prime Minister Wang launched a reform, but what was the final result?"
Guo Jing was silent...
"Yes, even a genius like Wang Anshi couldn't change the Song Dynasty. Even a peerless marshal like Yue Wumu was harmed by the emperor and his treacherous ministers... Hero Guo, is there really any hope for the Song Dynasty?"
Seeing Guo Jing showing pain, Di Fan took advantage of the situation and delivered the final blow!
"Mr. Guo, what you call the greatest hero, serving the country and the people, are you protecting this corrupt dynasty or the countless poor people?"
“I…I…”
Guo Jing sat dejectedly on the chair, no longer energetic...
Huang Rong glanced at her husband. Sigh, she should wait until she has some free time to have a good chat with Brother Jing...
"Mr. Di's suggestion of a rebellion... oh, no, an uprising is quite feasible," Huang Rong said, tapping the table. "I can also join the uprising on behalf of the Guo family and the Beggars' Sect, providing funds and manpower. But I want to know one thing: who will sit on the throne of the future emperor? Will it be the real person, or Mr. Di?"
“Senior Brother…”
Xiao Longnu was about to speak... Di Fan interrupted her directly: "Of course it's Junior Sister!"
"First, the Wulin Dynasty naturally values martial arts. If we want to subjugate all the sects and force them to support us, we must defeat them one by one, until they have no intention of rebelling! In this regard, my junior sister is the only innate master in the Central Plains Wulin. Who else can do it?
Secondly, doesn’t Mrs. Huang think that eliminating equality, eliminating the hierarchy, and having a woman become emperor is the best way to promote gender equality?
Madam Huang, don't forget that the closest women's status to being equal to men's in history was during the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, when women held the highest status."
Di Fan replied dimly.
[You must be joking! I'll just overthrow the Song Dynasty and then run away. I can't leave a mess behind, right?]
[It's better to let my junior sister do it... If I can train a female emperor, I'll have a chance to brag about it wherever I go...]
【Come on, little junior sister! 】
Huang Rong glanced at Xiao Longnu, who nodded slightly, indicating that she also agreed with her senior brother's words...
Huang Rong sighed inwardly. Well, relying on peasant rebellion, sect management, and the people electing officials is already shocking enough. Adding a female emperor or something would only make it more difficult...
"Well, then let's talk about the slogan of the uprising..."
