Chapter 197 The break between He Yan and the aristocratic family (2)
After sending Xun Yu away, He Yan couldn't let go for a long time.
The aristocratic family was greedy, which actually didn't matter to He Yan.
Greed, in a sense, is actually the ladder of progress.
As long as greed can be guided in the direction it should go, the greed of the aristocratic family may not be a battering ram to usher in a new era.
But greed is greed, but ignorance is another matter.
In other words, these people are either ignorant or simply bad!
They wanted to use the new learning to divide the power in the hands of the emperor, but they completely failed to shoulder their responsibilities.
Just like before, the people are just consumables in their hands. After using up a batch of them, they just throw them back to the government, without any awareness of making the people stable.
"These people... are so fucking disgusting!"
When eating, everyone was more active than anyone else. Now when it was time to poop, he threw the poop directly to the government and the emperor.
At first, He Yan was still wondering how the insane imperial power of the emperor could grow so brilliantly in the land of China. Now it seems that everyone is basically thinking who is worse than who else. As long as the badness reaches a certain level, even if it is a slightly deformed person,
Monsters can easily crush other people to win.
He Yan sat alone in Hewu for a long time, and it was not until a visitor came that he finally came to his senses.
"Cao Pi? What are you doing here?"
"Look what trouble you got into."
Cao Pi sat down opposite He Yan: "You also know that many people from aristocratic families have taken refuge in me now, so I can still know about any news there."
When he said this, Cao Pi had a stern look on his face: "Don't worry, I'll help you solve anything! But you have to ask me to go to the palace once!"
He Yan was envious of Cao Pi's optimism: "I wish I could be as naive as you."
Cao Pi:???
He Yan stood up and shook his head: "You can't solve this matter. Just go and play with those people and don't get involved."
Now that there is a rift between He Yan and the aristocratic family, it is also an internal matter within the aristocratic family.
But Cao Pi, as the current successor of Boss Cao, has already united a large number of forces around him. If Cao Pi gets involved at this time, it is likely to cause the family to split.
Now Boss Cao, not to mention unifying the nine states, even the north has not yet been pacified. If he breaks up with the family at this time, then Cao Cao's group will be really in danger.
"What is this nonsense!"
Cao Pi stood up suddenly and asked He Yan: "You look down on me?"
After He Yan was silent for a while, he nodded slowly.
"cut!"
Cao Pi immediately turned around and walked away, but when he reached the gate, he turned back.
This time Cao Pi's face was filled with solemnity and sullenness: "Is it really this serious?"
Seeing that He Yan was trying to deal with him again, Cao Pi frowned: "Don't lie, I'm not stupid. If you don't handle it well this time, you might really be in trouble!"
Seeing Cao Pi's rare serious face, He Yan finally stopped hiding it——
"Our contradiction this time is a difference in philosophy, which is completely different from the previous times."
The basis of cooperation between He Yan and the aristocratic family has always been because both parties have the same goal, which is to overthrow the imperial power.
That's why He Yan was willing to create a weapon like Xinxue and let the family share it with him, hoping to bring down the emperor in the end.
But what He Yan and the family have never noticed is that their ideas are actually a bit outrageous.
Ideas may seem like just a means to achieve a "goal", but in fact they are the ultimate "goal" that really needs to be accomplished.
As the cooperation between the two parties gradually deepens, this gap is actually gradually widening.
The previous "blood transfusion" was just a mouthful, but now the issue about the workshop workers has directly put the conflict between the two parties on the table.
"Even if I give in this time, they must have realized that I am not the same person as them."
He Yan was never willing to underestimate the noble family, whether they were allies or enemies.
"Besides, even if I am willing to bow my head this time, what about next time?"
Is it possible that He Yan has to keep making concessions until both parties achieve their common goal, which is to bring down the emperor?
"At that point, I'm afraid they will kick me out completely."
After listening to He Yan's explanation, Cao Pi pressed his temples with a headache: "In other words, no matter what you choose, you will always lose?"
Not to mention He Yan, even the emperor alone could not defeat the noble family. Cao Pi really couldn't think of any way for He Yan to take the future into his hands.
After thinking about it, Cao Pi finally gave up...
"He Yan, why don't you bear with it for a while? After all, you have to eat one bite at a time. There is no need to take such big steps! We can first defeat the emperor and then consider these things!"
There is no way, Cao Pi's mind is still filled with the art of compromise such as "peace is the most important".
But what Cao Pi didn't know is that what can be obtained by "compromise" is always illusory. If you want to really get what you want, there is only one way, and that is "struggle"!
"Cao Pi, come with me."
In order to make Cao Pi realize this, He Yan changed Cao Pi into coarse clothes.
Not only Cao Pi, but also He Yan himself also changed into linen clothes.
After changing, Cao Pi smelled the sweat on his clothes with some disgust: "Can't you wash the clothes first before putting them on for me?"
"Ordinary people don't wash their clothes once a month, so just make do with what you wear!"
He Yan led Cao Pi out of Hewu and to a workshop outside. Cao Pi instantly realized what He Yan wanted to do.
"He Yan, you want to play the trick of white dragon fish suit?"
Seeing He Yan nodding, Cao Pi immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, obviously treating it as a game.
When he walked to a workshop, He Yan lined up directly at the door of the workshop without taking a closer look at who it belonged to.
After just standing for a cup of tea, a rather wealthy-looking accountant walked out of the workshop.
"What are you doing? Leave quickly!"
Faced with the angry scolding of the accountant, He Yan not only did not leave, but took a step closer: "My second uncle asked my two brothers to come. I wonder if it can be convenient!"
The accountant glanced at He Yan suspiciously: "Who is your second uncle?"
"Chen Ji!"
He Yan reported a name without blushing, and the accountant had no doubts.
In Yingchuan, the surname Chen was originally the most common surname, and there were many common people who named themselves after Bo Zhong and Shu Ji. Therefore, the name "Chen Ji" is just like "Zhang Wei" in later generations, very casual and common.
"Okay! Come in!"
The accounting room opened the door and allowed He Yan and Cao Pi to enter.
When he reached the factory, he shouted casually, and immediately a man came running over with a flattering look on his face.
"Just follow him and be serious! Don't be lazy!"
Afterwards, the accountant said a few words to the man and walked out without any further communication with He Yan and Cao Pi.
As soon as the cashier left, the man he summoned put away his flattering face and replaced it with a look of exhaustion and indifference.
"Follow me and do as I say."
He brought He Yan and Cao Pi to a table: "You use a plane to cut all the wood into thin slices!"
The work was very simple, with no technical difficulty at all. He Yan and Cao Pi understood the whole process after just watching it once.
Cao Pi had a lot of fun at first, but over time, he fell into numbness and fatigue.
"He Yan!"
Cao Pi called to He Yan in a low voice: "Did that person deliberately mess with us?"
"Who fucked you?"
He Yan was planing the wood: "You saw it when you came in just now. The work we do is actually relatively easy. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Cao Pi looked around and found that there were many jobs that were heavier than his own. He immediately shut up his grumbling mouth and began to endure the torture of work.
