Tian Feng came to Yuan Mansion with a large pile of bamboo slips.
"Mr. Yuan Hao, what are you..." The guard looked at him doubtfully.
"Go and pass the message quickly, I want to see the lord." Tian Feng stopped and let another guard hold the bamboo slip.
"No need, gentlemen are already inside. You can go on your own." The guard shook his head. Today is the day when Yuan Shao convened everyone to discuss matters. There is no need to stop people like Tian Feng.
Tian Feng nodded, took the bamboo slip and walked inside.
"Have you noticed that since they have practiced the method of visualization, these big people can even practice it much faster than me!" Looking at the back of Tian Feng who was holding a lot of bamboo slips effortlessly, a guard sighed with emotion.
road.
"Otherwise, if someone is inside, we can only guard the door here. This is our fate!" Another guard looked at no one around and leaned against the door and sighed.
"Get up quickly, it will be easy to be dismissed if others see it!"
The method of contemplation has now become popular among the Jizhou army, and it is also taught to the servants of officials like them.
But here's the strange thing. These ordinary servants' cultivation speed is much lower than that of the generals in the army, but the generals in the army cannot compare with those in high positions.
What is the reason? Not to mention them, even the senior management can only attribute this reason to talent. They found that in this way, they can make their subordinates accept their fate.
The advantage of this approach is that it is easier to control the subordinates. After all, everyone accepts their fate, but the disadvantage is that they lose their vitality. After all, they have been like this all their lives. If the motivation to fight is gone, who is still willing to fight hard?
In the main hall, when they saw Tian Feng coming in with a lot of bamboo slips, Yuan Shao and others were also a little surprised: "Yuan Hao, what does this mean?"
"Lord, these are all the information retrieved from the Central Plains during this period." Tian Feng waved his hand, and these bamboo slips dispersed and floated to everyone's desk.
When everyone saw Tian Feng's serious expression, they couldn't help but open it out of curiosity, but what he recorded was the situation in some counties in the Central Plains. The officials were honest, actively worked for the benefit of the people, and were supported by the people.
Yuan Shao looked at these and looked at Tian Feng with a strange expression: "What does Yuan Hao mean by showing these to Gu?"
Does this mean that your governance is not good?
Guo Tu even sneered: "Yuan Hao won't believe such untrue remarks, right?"
People will have greed and selfishness. Although Chu Nan killed many scholars and has a high deterrent effect, human nature is like this. It is difficult to completely resist all kinds of temptations, so you have to be an honest official like this.
If they say one or two, then they believe that there must be some, even in Jizhou.
But it’s all like this. It’s just nonsense at first glance.
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, there is relevant information here. According to the results of careful investigation in each city, there is a folk legend that may explain this phenomenon."
"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and said with a smile: "How come Yuan Hao likes to listen to these legends recently."
Tian Feng sighed: "Many things sound like legends, but my lord, the world seems to have begun to enter the era of legends."
Legendary era?
Yuan Shao was slightly startled when he heard this novel word, and then nodded.
Yes, the emergence of the power of heaven and earth, and the emergence of visualization methods, have given many ordinary people the power that only military commanders had in the past. If any soldier of the Jizhou Army were given in the past, he might be a general with a hundred enemies.
"Although this matter sounds absurd, it can explain the current prosperity of the Central Plains." Tian Feng said solemnly: "And I don't know if you all feel it, but Feng can indeed feel the existence of destiny in the dark.
.”
"Um?"
Yuan Shao, who was looking through the bamboo slips, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Tian Feng: "Is Yuan Hao serious about what he said?"
When he was practicing contemplation, he noticed the existence of luck, but he thought he was the only one who could detect it. And as his cultivation deepened, his sense of luck became stronger. He thought he was one of the few people alive.
can only be sensed.
But at this moment, as soon as Tian Feng's words came out, everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and Yuan Shao realized that everyone had the same feeling as him.
There was a brief silence in the lobby, a bit awkward.
The secret that I thought only I knew, turned out to be known to everyone.
"Yuan Hao continues." Yuan Shao broke the silence and said calmly.
"Here!" Tian Feng saw everyone's expressions and understood, and immediately said: "This information was obtained from some officials who are loyal to the lord. The imperial court has a complete theory of luck."
"Oh? How did you say that?"
Not only Yuan Shao, everyone is interested in this.
"Luck does not arise out of thin air. Just like a military formation borrows the power of many people, luck is also obtained by the gathering of all the luck in one place. Those who follow the will of the people will have good luck. Those who go against the will of the people will have bad luck. Those who go against the will of the people will have bad luck.
, and even received backlash from public opinion, which is quite similar to the popularity in the past." Tian Feng said in a deep voice.
In the past, if Confucianism had popular popularity, it would be very helpful to the aura of awe-inspiring people, but it would only restore the aura quickly, but now it is different. With this luck, the speed of cultivation will be accelerated.
"Those who have prosperous luck will have everything go as they wish." Tian Feng said with emotion: "Officials in the Central Plains all know this truth, and there seem to be people in the court who can observe the strength of luck, so this situation will occur."
In the past, when officials acted randomly, as long as they covered it up well and had a strong relationship, it was basically fine.
But it doesn’t work anymore. People can tell how good you are by just looking at your luck. And now the court doesn’t talk about relationships, but basically the law is greater than love. The Ministry of Punishment has issued a document. Unless you are really wronged, otherwise it is basically
It's over.
The blessing of the people's fortune is also beneficial to one's own practice. With the joint promotion of the two mechanisms, the situation in the Central Plains where officials are dedicated to serving the people will emerge.
"Lord, there is one more thing!" Jushu stepped out of the queue and saluted Yuan Shao.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao nodded to signal Ju Shou to finish.
"The lieutenant generals in the army are quite lazy now. They are not active in drills or suppressing bandits. With the current morale, there may be something wrong if we go to war with the Central Plains in the future." Jushou said, cupping his fists.
Everyone knows the reason for this, more or less, and it's not because of the lineage theory that was spread in the military before. The reason why generals and officials practice faster than ordinary people is because they have higher birthplaces and more talents than ordinary people.
Okay, that’s why practicing is like divine help.
Under this argument, the consequences are now evident.
The theory of luck and official position like that of the imperial court can stimulate the soldiers' desire for official positions, and they can hone their skills more actively, just to be able to hold an official position on the battlefield in the future. This will not only benefit their families, but also bring great benefits to themselves.
.
And their theory of origin and destiny is a reverse operation. The soldiers have lost the motivation to move forward and think that even if they become officials, they are not as good as others. In this case, who is still willing to work hard?
But having said that, if they promote this theory of luck like Zhongyuan, they will have to face another problem. These people under their command will become their competitors.
The biggest difference between them and Chu Nan is that Chu Nan now allocates positions based on ability, but they allocate positions based on birth. Children of noble families can easily join the officialdom. There are only two promotion channels, one is through prefectures and counties.
Another way is to recommend officers and lieutenants in the army based on their meritorious service.
Once this theory of luck is popularized, the motivational effect will be there, but the children of the noble family will face challenges from all aspects, and those who are not good enough will be pulled down.
This is what the nobles do not want to see.
"Lord, Feng thinks that we can spread this theory of luck, so that our Jizhou can have a prosperous age!" Tian Feng bowed and said, his concept is very simple, since the court has verified this method
If it works, then imitate the other person, there is no shame in it.
"Yuan Hao's words are inappropriate. If it is true as Yuan Hao said, has Yuan Hao ever thought about the consequences?" Xu You stepped out of the queue and looked at Tian Feng with a frown.
"Consequences?" Tian Feng looked at Xu You and snorted coldly: "It will be like the Central Plains, with honest officials and the support of the people!"
"Wrong, first of all, the nobles everywhere will not accept this matter, and may even cause chaos!" Xu You said decisively, and then looked at Tian Feng: "I know what Yuan Hao thinks, but this place is no better than the Central Plains."
The taxis in the Central Plains have been killed silently. They just stay in their nests and wait for the new opportunity to come. However, in other places outside the three states controlled by Chu Nan, the gentry forces are still dominant, including
In Yuan Shao's case, he could not ignore the interests of the nobles and imitate the imperial court. If that were the case, they would stop fighting. Wouldn't it be easier to directly vote for the imperial court?
"But if we don't follow suit, our military strength will inevitably be farther away from the Central Plains. The longer time goes by, the greater the gap will be. Has Ziyuan thought about how to solve this problem? If this continues, Chu Nan will lead his army northward one day.
, how will our army respond?" Tian Feng said angrily.
"This is not difficult!" Xu You said with a smile as he had a plan in mind.
"Oh?" Tian Feng looked at Xu You and suddenly frowned: "Is the war going to start now?"
"That's right!" Xu You nodded, then turned around and saluted Yuan Shao and said: "My lord, Chu Nan has held the emperor hostage, caused cholera in the imperial palace, and defiled the palace. Heaven is angry and people are complaining. We should call on all the righteous men in the world to fight against it!"
Tian Feng did not say anything or dissuade. This is indeed a way. The gap between the two sides is not obvious now. Yuan Shao is in full swing, has sufficient food and grass, and his soldiers far exceed those of Chu Nan. If he does not want to change the policy with the imperial court, it is indeed a good idea to start a war at this time.
is the best choice.
Since the resistance to restructuring is too great, those who created this system should be eliminated.
Tian Feng did not dissuade him, because he knew that this might be the simplest way. If the system was restructured, there might be direct turmoil in Jizhou, and even the mighty Yuan Shao's power would be torn apart.
Chu Nan's new policies are actually correct, but if they are right to different people, they may be poison. Looking at the world, no force in the world can attack the nobles as unscrupulously as they do, regardless of their opinions.
This may be the joy of reputation collapse. With the reputations of Lu Bu and Chu Nan, there is no need to take into account what the nobles think of them...
