Chapter 71 Time, Inheritance

Shufu

"Teacher, do you think some people are not satisfied?"

Sitting on the stone bench, Du Ruhui's voice slowly rang out, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After Du Ruhui left the palace, he did not return to his house immediately, but instead came to Shu'an's mansion.

Shu An's eyes did not change at all. He did not have the morning time, but Li Shimin had just left, and Du Ruhui arrived before noon.

The key is to tell him about this. Isn’t this what I told Li Shimin in the morning?

I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so decisive, but his reaction to Du Ruhui was a little novel.

Even he didn't expect Du Ruhui to directly support Li Shimin, and he didn't even think much about it. Is this still Du Ruhui in history?

However, it should be influenced by oneself. As for how Du Ruhui was alone in history, there is no detailed record.

Especially after Zhenguan, there are very few records of how Du Ruhui has died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan in history.

"Everyone has his own choice, right?"

Shu An slowly said in the face of Du Ruhui's words, and he didn't have much opinion on this matter.

Just as some of his students came from families and some were from poor families, it can be said that everyone has a different identity.

However, Shu An has always cared about his students, and perhaps this is the idea of ​​teaching without distinction.

He will not be more respectful to students from poor families because of their aristocratic families, nor will he look down on students who have come out of poor families.

Du Ruhui had known his teacher's opinion for a long time, so he was not surprised by the teacher's words. He was just speaking his own words.

There are not many people who can make him talk to him in love, and the teacher in front of him is one, so there is no need to worry that saying these words will have other effects.

"It's okay if you choose the auxiliary machine like this, Xuanling disappointed me."

Du Ruhui said with a hint of emotion in his eyes, after all, although he and Changsun Wuji both worshiped the same teacher.

But it does not mean that the two people are familiar with each other. On the contrary, the two people often face each other. If the only agreement is about the teacher, it is something related to the teacher.

Fang Xuanling is one of his few friends. Unexpectedly, he was as hesitant as Changsun Wuji, and originally thought he would be the same as himself.

"Xuanling is not like you, you have no worries. Behind him, he has a considerable connection with the Shandong gentry."

Shu An shook his head slightly and said, he did not agree with Du Ruhui's words. Fang Xuanling's hesitation proved his wisdom.

This is a buffer time for yourself without words. Of course, there are gains and losses. It is impossible to get along with Li Shimin and the gentry.

Li Shimin is not a fool. Fang Xuanling finally had to make a choice. Now it may be delayed for a while, but it cannot be delayed for a lifetime.

Du Ruhui also fell silent. In fact, he was also from a gentry, so he naturally understood the principles here.

"In fact, the imperial examination system is not a good thing for aristocratic families."

Shu An couldn't help but say as she looked at the silent student, with a mysterious smile on her face.

After the words were finished, Du Ruhui was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what his teacher was thinking.

"Actually, Emperor Yang of Sui is good."

Shu An did not continue to talk about the previous topic, but said something inexplicably.

But Du Ruhui was also confused, as if he couldn't guess what his teacher wanted to say.

"Why do you think it's both Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui who want to suppress the aristocratic families?"

Shu An continued to ask without any surprise when facing the doubts of his students.

When Du Ruhui heard this question, he couldn't help but think about why he wanted to suppress the aristocratic families.

"Because the aristocratic family hindered the development of the Sui Dynasty."

After a while, Du Ruhui couldn't help but say, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After all, the aristocratic families control most of the resources, and the dynasty's desire to develop will inevitably affect the interests of these aristocratic families. Both are inevitable and irreconcilable.

For example, the Sui Dynasty implemented a household-capacity policy, requiring a thorough investigation to prevent the nobles from concealing the population, and to separate large families and allow large families to move their households to weaken their influence.

There is also a reporting system, etc. If A reports B conceals one male D, then B will bear the taxes and service of A, which has a considerable temptation to the people.

These seriously damaged the interests of the aristocratic families and also sowed the seeds of destruction for the Sui Dynasty.

Now His Majesty also faces this problem after ascending the throne. However, better than the Sui Dynasty, the influence of the aristocratic families has been greatly weakened.

"Yes, it is inevitable that the aristocratic family will be suppressed. Do you think His Majesty does not have the courage today?"

Shu An's eyes flashed and sounded, and Du Ruhui also started to think. He did not think that His Majesty now does not have the courage.

"Only if the imperial examination system makes common people rise up can a balance in the court be achieved."

"If a family wants to survive forever, they must learn to judge the situation rather than develop blindly."

"For the aristocratic family, time is the greatest wealth, and everything else can be given up."

"Being too strong is not necessarily a good thing, and becoming a thorn in the eyes of rulers is not beautiful."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, but this time Du Ruhui was stunned because it was the first time he had heard this theory.

Du Ruhui has always believed that the imperial examination system would harm the interests of aristocratic families. However, when he heard from today's teacher, he couldn't help but think that the imperial examination system seemed to be good.

Especially the saying that time is the greatest wealth made Du Ruhui awaken. If the family heritage is gone, then what else is the meaning?

On the contrary, if it is inherited for several generations, whether it is wealth or influence, it will naturally become a big family.

Du Ruhui did not want the Du family to become the seven hopes of the five surnames. It would be great if he could become a big clan among the world.

Now the teacher's words have made him see clearly the path that the Du family will take next, which is to seek stability rather than profit.

No matter how much profit is, it will pose hidden dangers for the family in the future. On the contrary, if it is stable, it can be passed on for a lifetime.

For these two options, one is the influence of a timely manner, and the other is the foundation of the family's development. Now Du Ruhui thinks that the aristocratic family is too prosperous is indeed not a good thing.

"What's more, Your Majesty has not left a chance for the aristocratic families."

"For example, the revision of the clan story for twenty years, and the imperial examination system may restrict the examination of aristocratic families."

"If you act aloof yourself, then you will be the real decline. Originally, knowledge is controlled by the aristocratic families, and the advantages are in their hands from the beginning."
