"Step back." Shao Xun glanced at him.
"Yes." Although Jin Zheng was not happy, he still sat back.
Shao Xun's eyes changed again.
Liu Runzhong, the prefect of Shangdang, understood the idea, stood up and went out, saying: "In the past when the king was attacking Shile, he once said, 'I only hope that there will be few vultures riding on the roadside of Qingzhong; and there will be no worries about arrowheads in the north of Yanmen Pass. The mountains and rivers will last forever, and Yi Xia will live forever.
All safe.'"
"As soon as this statement came out, it spread throughout the world, and everyone knew the king's ambition."
"Since the crusade against Liu Han, the chiefs of various tribes have returned to justice one after another, all because of this."
Having said this, he looked at Wang Chong and said: "You are living freely in the manor, but the Shangdang Jie people have no food and clothing. I don't know how many people have been sold into slavery over the years."
"When Sima Teng was in power, he recruited tribesmen several times. He asked the wealthy families of Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Xihe counties to give them food and silk, but no one was willing to give it. They fought life and death for you, and they were not willing to give you even a little food and silk.
, and they also plunder and sell my people into slavery. It is absolutely difficult for me to work with these people who take and ask for anything."
"Since the king came to work, he has made several conquests and given them food and silk. He has also sent officials to various tribes to educate the people and teach agricultural skills. From now on, everyone is at peace, and I am willing to fight for the king."
"Today in Jinyang, I am discussing the general trend of the world. Let me ask you this: I have made numerous military exploits in the campaign against the Xiongnu, and even one of my sons died on the battlefield. In the campaign against Xianbei, my troops also recruited thousands of men, and marched north to Yanmen. There were no less than ten thousand people.
Transfer food and grass to ensure that the army's supply is inexhaustible. What merit do you have? Without merit, how can you enjoy all kinds of benefits? This is unheard of in all dynasties."
What Liu Runzhong said was true and well-founded. Wang Chong didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he only said: "When Cao Wei came to Cao Wei in a poor situation, he was in a hurry. If you can survive, it's good, so why bother to say more."
!”
Liu Runzhong laughed when he heard this, turned around and saluted Shao Xun, and said: "Your Majesty, I have said all I need to say."
After that, he returned to his seat.
Wang Chong was scolded by several people in succession, and his momentum was somewhat lacking. After being stiff for a while, he bowed and left.
Anyway, he has said all he needs to say.
At this moment, he finally understood that today, on the surface, he was discussing the general trend of the world, but in fact, he was redistributing benefits based on the general trend of the world.
He doesn't care about this, as long as his benefits are not deteriorated anyway, he will never agree to the repeated requisitions of food and wars like before. Although every time the government comes to visit, the food is happily handed over in the end, but it does not mean that
He felt happy.
Since you, Prince Liang, allow everyone to speak freely, then let me tell you, what?
There was silence for a while.
Zhang Bin, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, smoothed his beard and walked out slowly, saying: "It has been more than twenty years since the kings started to rebel. At the most critical time, Luoyang was besieged several times and Hebei was defeated in many battles. Fortunately, Liang
King Hengkong was born to clean up the old mountains and rivers, and today we are here. Just now, Mr. Liu Fu mentioned that "Yi and Xia are safe", which is true to the king's ambition. However, when the king lived in Xuchang, he also proposed "tolerance for the sake of the country".
At that time, the locust drought ensued, and the Huns invaded and plundered. The brave soldiers and people of Henan went into battle, educated scholars governed the government and benefited the people, and those with abundant wealth donated generously. Finally, they won a great victory and drove the Huns out of Henan. This is "tolerance for the sake of the country."
.”
After hearing this, Shao Xun looked at Zhang Bin with encouraging eyes.
Tolerance for the sake of the country was his early slogan, or political platform.
A political program is not a set of ideas. "If the king comes, don't pay for food" is also a political program.
"Yi and Xia are safe" was the slogan he put forward during the Northern Expedition to Yecheng, which also had the nature of a political program.
A political program must be rooted in the current situation, hit the mark, and be something that can greatly alleviate social conflicts, otherwise it will not be supported by the majority of people.
In short, this kind of thing must not be illusory or lofty. It is designed to solve problems and seize political power, not for development.
There must be no confusion between political programs for a certain period of time.
"Yi and Xia are safe" will not expire for a long time in the future, because the problem of barbarians has been a big problem since the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is not so easy to solve.
"Yi Xia Ju'an" has a guiding role in policy. It assesses the family status of barbarians, grants official positions, and uses agricultural technology to semi-settlement the barbarians. These are all products of this guiding program.
Before that, the Xiongnu soldiers besieged Luoyang and looted Henan. At that time, Wang Mi passed through Yuzhou and suffered numerous casualties. Therefore, the concept of "bearing each other for the country" came into being.
The landmark event was Shao Xun's marriage to Yu Wenjun, a scholar from Yingchuan. The wealthy families in western Henan collectively fell in love with him, cut their flesh to bleed, and sent troops to join him in fighting.
However, after more than ten years of peace, "tolerance for the sake of the country" gradually aroused opposition in Henan. This is the timeliness of the political program.
The situation in Henan is different, and you need another reason to convince them.
In other words, you need to reinterpret it——
"Today, the world is uncertain and the beacons are still there. Do we have to give up mutual tolerance to serve the country?" Zhang Bin continued: "Four years ago, Tuoba Yulu garrisoned at Xinkou, and the meaning of Nantu was very obvious. His generation made great achievements.
Below, 300,000 horsemen are at your fingertips, which is a disaster for the Xiongnu. And there are Yuwen, Murong and others who are watching with eager eyes. Once they go south, all the people in Youji will be in ruins. Under the general trend, the manor will be reduced to dust, and freedom will not be available. "
"The king's pursuit of Tuoba from the north is an opportunity to seize the opportunity of the enemy, so as to avoid the trouble of raising tigers and making it difficult to deal with them. You all know the difficulties of kings who are in chaos, but if the barbarians march south in large numbers, and the court has no soldiers and food, who will take care of it then?
Are you defending against enemies?"
"In the battle of Guangwu, the soldiers of Luonan Prefecture defeated the thieves' cavalry. Where they were brave, the Xianbei thieves fled in the face of the wind. Therefore, they were given officials and those who were kind were rewarded. In the future, the world will have its reasons, and we will have to rely on them. The truth here is not difficult to imagine.
clear."
"There are also thieves who pretend to be edicts and seize the old land of Eastern Wu, but do not obey Zhengshuo. After the old mountains and rivers in the north are cleared up, there will be a campaign to the south. Who will we rely on to conquer the south at that time?"
"Let's go back to the manor." When he said this, Zhang Bin changed his tone and said with a smile: "I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. Rich families often build their houses with mountains on the back, rivers on the left and lakes on the right. There are many tall forests and giant trees.
, enough to cover the sun and the moon; where there are hanging kudzu and hanging radish, the wind and smoke can come in and out. There are hills and ravines in the courtyard, which can't be entered and the sound is glorious, and it can't be hidden if you retreat. There are many interesting things among the mountains, rocks, trees, clear springs and ponds. There are many interesting places under the mountain.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of farmers and customers, enough to support our children and grandchildren?"
To use force to pressure and to use advantage to guide is the core of Zhang Bin's words.
Especially the last paragraph made many people's hearts move.
To be fair, Jiangnan is a humid and humid place and no one wants to go there, but isn’t there nothing we can do about it?
There are a large group of warriors in the north who are eager to seize their land. The court is keeping an eye on their villagers, otherwise it will be difficult to implement the tax and levy laws.
Even the barbarians are asking for more.
If conflicts intensify in the future——
Looking at the behavior of Nan Zhonglang, Jin Zheng, it may not be impossible. Just now he said that he would sink the king's favor into the river. Although he was repelled by King Liang, what if King Liang condoned it? King Liang was the rope that tied these hungry wolves.
.
From this point of view, if a concubine could be sent to Jiangnan to run the manor, it would be a way of preservation.
After Zhang Bin finished speaking, Liu Anzhi, Cao Shangshu of the Fifth Army, stood up and said with a smile: "What Meng Sun said is true."
After speaking, he scanned the place where Wang Chong was and said: "Today is different from the past. Twenty years of war have not awakened people. In the past, scholars were depressed and had no way to make progress, so they indulged in fun and stayed up all night. Some people
If you don't know what's going on, and try to imitate others, it's really ridiculous."
Wang Chong's expression changed after hearing this.
Cao Yi felt relieved, finally nothing happened to me.
"Why didn't Zhong Changtong become an official in his early years? Why did he work for Cao Mengde later? Without him, he had never met his master, so he was worried and angry in the mountains and forests, and sighed in the fields." Liu Anzhi said: "The king of Liang has been working for more than ten years.
Look at the shogunate's officials and generals, how many of them are as confused as you?"
"Taibai came to the world and transformed the world, bringing countless living people. He also has great talents and great ideas, which can inspire people's hearts, so he is willing to be driven by them. People with outstanding talents have long been awake, and only ignorant and pedantic people like you are still talking in their dreams."
"Shuzi! Is it really bad to use a sword?"
Since the early years of the Kingdom, only one member of the Liu family had served as an official, and he was just a minister.
The Liu family in Jie County was already somewhere between the nobles and the powerful, and their family status had declined greatly. Otherwise, they would not have brought their own tribe to fight for Sima Yue in the northern expedition to Yecheng. The desire to make progress was very strong.
There are many scholars of this humble background in the General's Mansion and in the Liang Kingdom.
For example, the General's Office in the West Cao Yu Louxiu, the East Cao Yu Quzhuang, Kai Cao Ling Shi Fangyang, Joining the Army Shang Zhi, Shi Yu Shi Jingchan, Zuo Min Cao Ling Shi Liu Qi, Wu Bing Cao You Cheng Xiqun, etc., Liu Anzhi is considered
The only one among them who has become the chief officer.
One characteristic stands out: these humble scholars did not have high enough official positions and were not noble enough, but they were all responsible for specific tasks.
For example, the Western Caobu and Dongcaobu of the General's Mansion were nominally responsible to the chief historian, but they actually handled the promotion of officials and the mobilization of affairs. They actually had a lot of power.
These poor families have certain interests in common with the noble families, but they rely more on Shao Xun's promotion, so their objections are not that big. In addition, their own family fortunes are not comparable to those of the aristocratic families, so it is a better choice.
Liu Anzhi is said to be a scholar from a poor family, but it is better to say that he is a warrior, so he is not polite to the king's favor and directly calls him "Shu Zi".
"That's enough!" Shao Xun waved his hand and told Liu Anzhi to step back.
Several people took turns to join the battle. Speaking of this, many things have been revealed and are no longer secretive.
The Jinyang Discussion Forum is a political consultative meeting, a conference on the distribution of interests.
Warriors need benefits.
Hu people need benefits.
The Hansu scholars were more embarrassed. On the one hand, they had the urge to safeguard the interests of the clan, and on the other hand, they wanted to overthrow the small surnames and noble clans that were weighing on them. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Anzhi, as the representative, fell in favor of the warriors and barbarians.
On the one hand, they jointly launched an attack on the small family and the family.
Of course, Zhang Bin vaguely came up with a plan: to build a manor in the south.
This was a decision Shao Xun made after discussing with him.
The south was desolate, and the nobles went there to build manors and engage in serfdom, which was conducive to development and assimilation of barbarians.
Historically, Wuyue and Jiangxi were developed in the Tang Dynasty - in fact, until the middle Tang Dynasty, Tibetan prisoners captured were still being exiled to Wuyue, which shows this.
The land of Jinghu was developed during the two Song dynasties.
The Ming Dynasty developed the southwest.
The Qing Dynasty followed.
This is all done step by step. Without the continuous development of the previous dynasty, the later dynasties will be affected.
It would be great if the land of Wu and Yue could be tidied up in the final Liang dynasty.
After the fall of the Liang Dynasty, the successors could build on this foundation and use the resources of the relatively mature Wuyue land to develop the adjacent Jiangzhou.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, so we must look at it from a dialectical perspective.
Moreover, Shao Xun gave them a long buffer period, and the main family could still stay in the north. They only needed to allocate part of their resources to go south.
"Your Majesty." Just as Liu Anzhi was retreating, Sikong Liu Han stood up, looked at Wang Chong first, then at Liu Anzhi, Jin Zheng and others, and said, "Zhong Chang has said that he will unite the whole family, but what can your Majesty do?"
Think about it to refute its fallacy?"
"Four words." Shao Xun said: "Advance with the times."
(I wrote about "advancing with the times" in my last book. Let me see how many people say I am homogeneous...)
