Liu Ba! This is also a great man. Historically, he wanted to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao ordered him to surrender several counties in the south of Jingzhou, but Liu Bei took a few counties first. He went to Jiaozhi again. He even moved from Jiaozhi to Jingzhou.
Yizhou, wanted to go north from Yizhou back to Cao Ying. However, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he had no choice but to join Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei entered Shu, he rewarded most of his money to meritorious soldiers, which made him very depressed. When he asked Liu Ba for advice, Liu Ba actually said: This matter is simple, just cast more money.
Although it solved the financial problem of Liu Bei, it increased the burden on the people. Later, he studied "Shu Ke" with Zhuge Liang and others. Liu Ba still had some real talents.
Liu Cong also smiled slightly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Zichu."
Liu Ba frowned and did not return the greeting: "You know me?"
Liu Cong didn't care about Liu Ba's pride. In the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the character of literati was much stronger than that of later generations. So he replied: "I have heard about it for a long time, and I have admired your name for a long time. I don't know why you came to Xiangyang? Can Cong help me?"
Where?"
Liu Ba still looked cold and in need of a beating: "I'm about to go north, so I won't bother Mr. Liu anymore."
Liu Cong's mind turned around. This guy must be going north to join Cao Cao. No, if he sees me now, I will tie you up. Can I let you go?
Then he smiled like the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha: "Mr. Zichu, you and I both have the surname Liu, so why should we speak so harshly? I wonder what Mr. Zichu wants to do when he goes north?"
Liu Ba glanced at Liu Cong and said, "I don't dare to have the same surname as Mr. Liu. As for what I want to do when I go north, I'm not afraid to tell you. I want to surrender to Mr. Cao!"
Yi Ji said hurriedly from the side: "Zichu, don't talk nonsense." Although scholars have a high status these days, as a scholar in Jingzhou, you said in front of the son of the governor that you want to join Cao Cao.
this……
Liu Cong also felt that this guy was very tough, but he still pretended to be generous and said: "Mr. Ji Bo, it's okay, it's okay." Then he said to Liu Ba: "In the autumn of troubled times, good ministers choose wise masters to serve. But Cao Cao
, who pretended to be a Han prime minister, but was actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty and insulted the emperor. Mr. Zichu surrendered to Cao Cao. Isn't he helping Zhou to abuse him?"
Liu Ba flicked his sleeves and said: "Cao Gong served the emperor to defeat his subordinates, chased Dong Zhuo, defeated the Yellow Turban, welcomed the emperor, destroyed Yuan Shu, killed Lu Bu, defeated Yuan Shao, attacked Wuhuan in the north, and attacked Jieshi in the east! This made the north great. This way.
, Isn’t it clear? It’s not like some people who speak loudly without being ashamed.”
Liu Cong knew that this was referring to what he had just said. For thousands of years in China, officials and gentry had been a privileged class. It was not until the Yongzheng Reform of the Qing Dynasty that the policy of paying grain to both officials and gentry was introduced. This was abolished by his son Qianlong.
.
There is no way, scholars, officials, and landlords are all opposed to it. Maybe today we think that paying taxes is a normal thing, but there are still people who evade taxes.
In the feudal era, officials were officials and people were people!
Not to mention the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The status of scholars in this era was also quite high, and behind them was a huge force - the noble family!
The aristocratic clan has a huge industry, occupies countless lands, has a large number of servants, and has a monopoly on education. This is why the aristocratic clan can produce talents in large numbers and control the lifeline of the country!
In their eyes, Liu Cong's words were indeed shocking, but in our eyes today, this is normal.
When Liu Cong traveled to this era, he had nothing to adapt to. He was a policeman in his previous life, and he had seen a lot of dirty things, but he was also an orphan, and he was very grateful for all the care and attention he received since he was a child.
He is even more proud of being born in China! So he also does his best to repay the society. But even in New China, people's livelihood is still difficult, and there is still a gap between the rich and the poor. But no one will blame others, because everyone
You can get rewards through hard work.
Now that he has come to this era, he should do something. He should make the people of this world live a better life, let alone let the dark age after the Three Kingdoms become the fate of this nation.
Liu Cong's eyes were a little dim. No one in this era would understand these thoughts. But he still said: "Cao Mengde really knows his master. But I don't think I am being ashamed of my words, Shi Yuan, Mr. Ji Bo, Mr. Zichu. Meng
The sage has said that the people are the most important thing, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the least important thing. This is what the sage said!"
Liu Cong turned around, pointed at the farmers working in the fields and continued: "What are the people? They, every common people in the Han Dynasty, why do they do the most, the most painful and the most tiring work, just to survive?"
"Just because they are common people? So the officials, the rich, and the powerful can step on them? Then they will only rise up after being stepped on until they can't breathe. In the former Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, in this dynasty, the Yellow Turbans
The chaos is all vividly visible!”
"I like what Qu Zi said about how difficult people's lives are, but the most difficult people in the world are still these people. Although I have no ambitions, I believe in a principle: if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world!"
"In your eyes, the world is peaceful, the people have stutters, and their lives are stable, that is great governance. But in my opinion, this is just the world above the temple, and this world should belong to everyone living in this land!"
None of the three people interrupted Liu Cong's speech, and they were all shocked by Liu Cong's words. Pang Tong thought that Liu Cong was just doing it in the army to win over the morale of the army, but he did not expect that Liu Cong had such great ambitions.
He is against the entire aristocratic family in the world!
But this is the Ming Lord who should be assisted by me, Pang Shiyuan. Pang Tong shook his feather fan lightly and said: "My Lord, Pang Tong will definitely follow the Lord to the death and help the Lord realize his great wish!"
Yi Ji only felt that these two young masters had been hiding their clumsiness, but no one in Jingzhou knew that this son had such high ambitions!
Liu Ba was still a little at a loss after hearing this. He knew that Liu Cong was right. When the world was stable, who in the ruling class would care about the well-being of the people below. But he still retorted: "I'm afraid that Mr. Liu's ambitions will not be fulfilled."
, after all, you can’t even control a county now.”
Before Liu Cong could reply, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance.
"Hush!"
Huo Jun and Wei Yan led a group of sergeants. They were the first to rein in their horses, dismounted and ran towards Liu Cong.
Huo Jun walked to Liu Cong, took out the warrant given by Liu Biao and said: "My lord, Lord Zhou Mu has given you the warrant to show it to Wenpin of Fancheng and Huang Zu of Jiangxia."
Liu Cong took the order, took it out of the brocade bag, looked at it, and laughed: "Shi Yuan, take a look."
Pang Tong took it and took a look, his pupils shrank, then he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, lord!"
Liu Cong smiled again, pointed at Liu Ba, and said to Huo Jun and Wei Yan: "This is Liu Ba, Liu Zichu. I hired him to teach in the army."
Wei Yan and Huo Jun bowed to Liu Ba, but before they could speak, they heard Liu Cong say again: "Tie him up."
???
Wei Yan and Huo Jun looked confused, but they still followed the instructions and waved their hands.
The sergeant behind him immediately stepped forward, and despite Liu Ba's curses, he took a rope and tied Liu Ba up!
"You're rude!" After being tied up and restrained by two sergeants, Liu Ba looked at Liu Cong fiercely.
Liu Cong looked at this scene with a wicked smile on his face: "Small, if I touch you, can you still run away?"
