Chapter 670 The difference between people is actually so big
The point?
Back then, when they were fighting against the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei proposed the idea of conquering the fields. At that time, Liu Bei said that it was possible to conquer the fields, but it required many prerequisites.
To be fair, Lu Zhi did not take Liu Bei's words seriously at that time, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that this was a battle that required him to sacrifice his life. Even if he failed in the end, his wholehearted efforts would not be in vain.
He plans to use his life to do something spectacular, to make himself famous in history, to become a being that can be admired by future generations, and to make future generations recognize that he is worthy of a talented person like Liu Bei to grow up as his disciple.
But I have never considered whether this matter will be successful.
This is Lu Zhi's greatest selfishness.
It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, it's enough that your reputation has been praised throughout the ages.
In essence, he is doing it for himself, not for the country.
But he never expected that Liu Bei really took this matter to heart and did it step by step.
First he controlled Liangzhou, then influenced Yizhou, then Sanfu, then Sanhe Land, and finally became a general. He openly controlled all the powers west of Luoyang, and then transferred himself from Liangzhou Prefecture.
The disciples he had trained and the old officials he had brought out in Liangzhou were used as sparks to spread the flames.
He completely controlled Liangzhou, controlled the land of Sanfu and Sanhe, eliminated the Jinwen School, attacked the core enemies most hostile to him, and wiped them out, making the Han Empire the "Longxing Land"
"They are all his people.
Then, Youzhou was solved through military means, which established its supreme prestige. Based on this, the slave restriction order and the state merging war were promoted. While resolving the matter of merging states, the slave restriction order was promoted to weaken a wave of future potential.
of enemies.
Step by step, every step is preparing for a comprehensive future.
To this day, Lu Zhi also generally knows that the main chief executives of nearly half of the places in the world are Liu Bei's people or subordinates of Liu Bei's subordinates. They have direct and indirect relationships with him. His political power alone has encompassed everything.
It accounted for more than one-third of all officials in the Han Empire.
And with his prestige and real power, he can really motivate these people to do things for him and run for him. He can really gain the support of these people and further enhance his own power.
If this was an individual, he could only be described as having overwhelming power. This power was something that many emperors could not truly possess. With Liu Bei's current status, if he wanted to become emperor, Lu Zhi felt that he would be able to do so in just three months.
can succeed.
You don’t have to pay a lot of money.
But he didn't. He didn't seem to use the tremendous power he gained for personal luxury enjoyment, but as the basis for future expansion.
He is extending his tentacles of power to local areas bit by bit, to influence and control local areas, to destroy enemies in an upright and fair manner for just and fair reasons, and then arranges for his own people to go to the local areas to control important power.
Through this method, he successfully seized a lot of local power and reversed the extremely unfavorable situation of the Luoyang court in the power struggle.
Currently, at the military level, Liu Bei has given the Luoyang court an absolute advantage.
At the economic level, the Luoyang court also achieved self-sufficiency through a series of military and political actions, and a new economic system was initially established.
At the political level, Liu Bei personally has controlled most of the central power and almost half of the local power, and has won many local comrades for the Luoyang court.
Next, he will promote the establishment of new departments and the establishment of county and state soldiers, in order to compete for local judicial power and influence of public security power, and further weaken the advantage of local separatist forces over the Luoyang court.
Given enough time, the local government's advantage over the central government will become smaller and smaller, and eventually turn into a complete disadvantage, while the central government's advantage will become larger and larger, eventually reaching the point of crushing it.
At that point, Liu Bei will use his 300,000 troops and a large number of his own people as the basis to promote real land expansion. It will no longer be a delusion, but a serious change.
Even if there are internal differences, even if there are many people who oppose him, the people who support him are enough to help him complete this wave of land acquisition, and eliminate those insects that occupy too much land, which will severely alleviate the sharp society within the Han Empire.
contradiction.
The Han Empire will successfully survive.
Liu Bei's achievements will be comparable to Emperor Guangwu's ZTE, and can even be considered the second ZTE of the Han Dynasty.
In Lu Zhi's opinion, this was already as high as heaven above his own. As a teacher, he was not even a hair behind Liu Bei in terms of political structure.
To use an inappropriate analogy, he felt that while Liu Bei was thinking about the stars and everything in the world, he, the teacher, was thinking about how to drown himself in the small pond at the door of his house and frighten his family.
Is the difference between people's patterns so big?
Facing this disciple who was thinking about the future wholeheartedly, Lu Zhi was delighted, extremely pleased, and felt that he really had a sense of accomplishment, having single-handedly brought out such an outstanding disciple.
But he also felt guilty, extremely guilty, and felt that he, a teacher full of selfish thoughts, was not worthy of being his teacher!
",I...I'm really not worthy of being your teacher on this matter."
Liu Bei simply shook his head at this.
"Teacher, please don't say that. Without you, there would be no me."
Lu Zhi sighed.
", Regarding the matter of Dutian, I just think about how to die vigorously, but you really want to make Dutian succeed. Compared with you, who am I? I have almost no
Make any preparations for Dutian..."
Lu Zhi lowered his head and took off his teacher's pretense in front of Liu Bei, making Liu Bei feel that he was not facing the majestic teacher, but a tired old man.
"Emperor Guangwu's campaign to conquer the land was not completely successful. If I had followed my ideas, my decree would not have been implemented anywhere. But you really want to make a career. The great man is very lucky to have you.
"
"Teacher, without you, this disciple would not have embarked on this path."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Maybe my disciple will also want to join in the same trend with those insects and enjoy it happily. After I die, I will care about the floods? It is because of your concern for the country and the people that the disciple gradually awakened and gradually realized that you have the supreme control."
How should a person in power act with a clear conscience?"
"well……"
Lu Zhi could only smile bitterly and didn't know what else to say.
But he knew that in the next thing, he must unconditionally support his disciple. The disciple had already reached this point. If he, the teacher, did not support him, he would really not be worthy of being Liu's teacher.
