Chapter 2194 Treating the symptoms and the root causes
Sun Ce was a little surprised. "Salted fish? Is it... pickled fish?"
"I want to come so."
After getting Xun Yu's answer, Sun Ce burst into laughter. "It's the first time I heard of this name. It seems that the superiors have something to do, but the subordinates may not be very good. This inkstone is named Xianyu Ink, which was presented by Xianyu Cheng, the commander of the Ministry of Searching for Mizu. There is a small story behind this inkstone. Have you ever heard of it?"
When Xun Yu Cheng heard Xian Yu Cheng's name, Xun Yu suddenly realized. He heard Chen Qun say Xian Yu Cheng and knew that it was an alternative official. Although he had excellent professional skills, he also slandered the books. There were many people who hated him, and almost no one liked him. The inkstone he presented to King Wu was falsely called a salted fish inkstone - he himself was a salted fish.
Xun Yu is familiar with Xian Yu Cheng's affairs, but it is better to start with this topic than to be straightforward, and better than telling Sun Ce that this is what Chen Qun said. He bowed politely. "Please give a commentary to the king."
Sun Ce did not refuse, and told the dispute over Sheyan behind Xianyu Cheng Xianyan. This incident left a deep impression on him. After repeated thinking, he sighed a lot and gained a lot. At this moment, he naturally had more connotations. He sacrificed his time off work today, but it was not a gossip with Xun Yu. To make this genius of the world sincerely serve him, wealth and honor must be, but wealth and honor alone are not enough. He also has ideals and common ideals.
Xianyu Chengxian inkstones looks simple, which is because the great families in She County want to regain the mining rights, but in fact it involves a wide range of things. There are both She inkstone mining, production and sales itself, as well as the large families and officials, forming different interest groups to fight each other, and there are honest officials who are ignorant of the world and being fooled by businessmen, and a series of changes in the atmosphere caused by heavy industry and commerce.
Xun Yu heard Chen Qun say something, but it was far less detailed than Sun Ce, nor did Sun Ce say it in depth. In Chen Qun's words, this was just some businessmen in Danyang and Kuaiji fighting for profit, and officials such as Yu Fan, Xian Yu Cheng were involved. In Sun Ce's words, this is a microcosm of the new policy, and many links were initiated by the new policy and ended by the new policy.
Xun Yu listened quietly, and the originally depressed mood inexplicably stirred up a slight turmoil. The young man sitting in front of him was worried and nagging, and his handsome face could not hide his fatigue. There was also a hint of confusion in his firm eyes, and he was still a little mature. This was not the young master who was full of energy and rampant in the world. This was a king who cared about the world, was trembling and walking on thin ice.
Once upon a time, the same was true for the late emperor Liu Xie, who always bears the responsibility that is not consistent with his age.
After telling the story, Sun Ce let out a sigh and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't make family scandals public, so that Jun Xun laughs."
Xun Yu stroked his beard and said slowly: "The king regards the world as his home, and does not spend it on Jiangdong."
"Is that true?" Sun Ce stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said, "But why do Gu always thinks that Ru Ying people regard Gu as an outsider, or even a barbarian?"
Xun Yu's eyes twitched and he pondered for a moment. "Maybe there was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Sun Ce snorted: "Sometimes, misunderstandings will kill people. When Gu first took over Yuzhou, Xu Zi made things difficult for many times. The two fought for a few times. Although they saw Hong, no one died. When he left, Gu went to see him off. Although it was not easy to gather, it was easy to disperse. But now, there were only a few days before, and the situation was still expanding."
Xun Yu didn't know how to answer for a moment. You didn't kill Xu Shao, but you killed the aristocratic families in Yuzhou to death. Because of the relationship between the aristocratic families, the relationship is complicated, so how can the rest of the people be without emotions? As for the Wanjinfang incident, it was originally the chief culprit of the Jiangdong clan, and the Ruying clan was just sitting and watching the changes, at most they were accomplices, but the Jiangdong clan was not dead, and all the dead were Ruying clans.
Especially Lu Xun, the reason why there were casualties was because he added fuel to the fire. This young man was too cruel. He either didn't take action, and he would kill others if he did not take action. He was not afraid to expand the situation, and he was quite suspicious of being happier the more he became.
"The great chaos and great governance are the king. You can take this opportunity to clear out some dissidents." Xun Yu was a little angry and his tone was not very nice. He had no doubt that Sun Ce's instructions were behind Lu Xun's actions, and Sun Ce was at least suspected of indulging him.
However, as soon as he said that, Xun Yu regretted it. His emotions cannot solve the problem, but will only complicate the problem.
Sun Ce smiled. He paced back and forth a few steps and sighed. "Yes, only great chaos can lead to great governance. After the end of Qin Dynasty, there was Wen Jing and after the Hanwu Dynasty, Zhao Xuan. The world was dominated by killing. With the Master's wise men, he had to kill Shao Zhengmao first. But I was a little confused. What is the meaning of governing the world? If this is the world advocated by the Confucians, why don't we start killing and kill more than one hundred, and then a small country has few people, and return to simplicity and truth?"
A hint of coolness rose from Xun Yu's back and rushed straight to the back of his head, and his whole body was cold in an instant.
Sun Ce didn't say anything, but just looked at Xun Yu quietly with his eyes sarcastic.
After a long time, Xun Yu returned to peace. He silently bowed. "The king is the dominant king of the princes, and the people admire it. Every word and action is the rule of the world. It is advisable to be cautious in words and actions."
"Mr. Xun was joking. Even Yuzhou can't be affected. How dare you talk about the world?"
"The land is full of grains, and with the careful care of farmers, there are still different quality, let alone people? Although Yuzhou is a place of clothing, there are inevitably people who do not know the general. The king should take the big ones and not be disturbed by the meticulous affairs."
"Yes, Gu also wants to capture the big and let go of the small, and don't get involved in the meticulous matters, but someone has to deal with the matter. Moreover, Yuzhou is the state where Gu initially implemented the new policy. If his political achievements are not good, not only Gu's face is not good, but Yanzhou and Jizhou will also be affected. Xunjun, what news did you hear when you went to Dingtao this time? Yanzhou has been talking for so long, but there is no result. If you drag it on, Gu is out of patience and has to use Xunjun's plan to create a big chaos and rule."
Xun Yu smiled bitterly. The stolen goods were so direct. When did I suggest you start a big killing? But he didn't argue with Sun Ce, he already understood what Sun Ce meant. There were two test questions in front of him: one was Wanjinfang**, and the other was the negotiations in Yanzhou and even Jizhou. Especially the former, this was originally his purpose of meeting Sun Ce. Since Sun Ce also wanted to resolve it as soon as possible, it would be easy to deal with it.
"King, Yu is not talented, and there are a few people who have come to see you. Please ask the King to take a look."
"It's rare that Mr. Xun is willing to give advice and listen carefully."
Xun Yu kept his favor and bowed. The matters in Wanjinfang can be big or small. To put it in a big way, this is a transgression and disrespect to the king. Not to mention arresting a few people, letting them sing and dancing, even if the clan is punished, it is light. From a young age, this is just a group of people who are too happy and punish them a little. Just like Sun Shangxiang deals with it now, it is better to make those who are not sensible and have a better memory and try to avoid killing people.
If the situation is killed, the situation will not only affect Yuzhou, but also Yanzhou. Why has Yanzhou not surrendered for a long time? To put it bluntly, there are still doubts and worry that what Man Chong said is untrue. Although Man Chong is from Yanzhou, his influence in Yanzhou is limited. In the eyes of Yanzhou people, he is a loyal minister of Wu and will not think about the people of Yanzhou. If the incident of Wanjinfang is spread to Yanzhou, it will be even more unfavorable to the negotiations, and at least one suspicion of injustice in law enforcement is difficult to escape - so far, none of the Jiangdong people who are responsible have died, but more than a dozen people in Ruying have been killed or injured.
Sun Ce does not want to expand the situation, but it does not mean that others will think so.
Xun Yu did not have a name for Lu Xun, so he was unwilling to make trouble. Lu Xun's intentions were punished, but his actions were beyond reproach. If he was entangled with this matter, he would only cause greater conflicts and shed more blood.
After Sun Ce returned to the major case, he stroked the case with both hands and twisted his fingers lightly. "Is Xun confident to convince those people?"
"If the king can trust it, Yu will do his best."
Sun Ce leaned back on the circle table, crossed his fingers, placed them in front of his abdomen, and circled his thumbs around each other. He looked straight into Xun Yu's eyes and said word by word: "I can't believe me."
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, his face turned red in an instant, and then turned pale again. Sun Ce could not trust him. This was a small matter for his personal honor and disgrace. But for the people of Ruying, this was a big matter. Could it be that he was wrong? Is it either Lu Xun made his own decisions or Sun Ce himself wanted to start a massacre?
"If you want to make people believe, you must first understand yourself. The reason why the people of Ruying were dissatisfied with each other is that they were rejected by the new policy. Mr. Xun has been studying the new policy for so long. Do you really understand the intention of Gu? Or do you just want to be patient for the time being and save people first? If this is the case, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, such a thing will happen in the future. What will it look like? Who can tell you accurately?"
Xun Yu's eyes shrank slightly, his eyelids drooped, and he deliberately or unintentionally avoided Sun Ce's eyes. He did not deny that he had the idea of saving people first, and did not fully agree with Sun Ce's concept in the new policy, and even had some objections. But now it is not the time to mention it, so he does not want to give a simple and deep word, and hastily raised it.
"Gu asked a risky question: Xun Jun knows why Shutong can walk so peacefully. What did he understand?"
Xun Yu's eyes flashed, he slowly raised his head and looked at Sun Ce, wanting to say something but stopped. In the past few months, he has been considering this question, but he has not found the answer. Before the death of the late emperor Liu Xie, he was here, and he could hear every word Liu Xie and Sun Ce said very clearly. When Liu Xie left, he was by Liu Xie, knowing that Liu Xie left very calmly, but he didn't know why Liu Xie was so calm.
Did he really understand Sun Ce's governance, is there any regrets?
Now that Sun Ce mentioned this issue again, he had to be moved. Perhaps, this was when he solved the mystery.
"Yu doesn't know that if the king can give me some advice, Yu will be grateful."
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and raised a smile on his lips. "Know it, know it, but don't know it. Jun Xun admitted that he didn't know it, and he was so calm that he deserved the reputation of a wise man, which is admirable. Since this is the case, Gu must not pretend to understand. Let's say it openly. What he has learned, but Gu actually doesn't know."
Xun Yu was speechless. He had thought of countless possible answers, but he did not expect this result.
