Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Fifth Receiving People Liu Zhang pretends to be a god
Chapter 185: Liu Zhang pretends to be cool to win people's hearts
Fazheng was shocked, Guo Jia was stunned, and even the old Liu Yan had his blood boiling. Liu Zhang knew that today's words had raised the loyalty of everyone under his command to a high level. But Liu Zhang
I don't mind dropping another bombshell in their hearts.
"Gentlemen, Emperor Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Is he great?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile on everyone's face.
Zhang Song smiled and said: "If Gaozu is not great, which emperor can compare with him?"
"Yongnian, in my opinion, Gaozu is a bit petty!" The smile on Liu Zhang's face became even brighter.
"How do you say this?" Even Liu Yan was a little confused.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "After Gaozu unified the world, he once killed the white horse and made an oath: No one with the surname Liu can be crowned king, and no one without the surname of Liu can be made a marquis. In my opinion, Gaozu said this, it is obvious that he is a petty person. If I make an oath with the world,
Bi said: You can't be crowned a marquis unless you expand your territory to a thousand miles, and you can't be crowned a king unless you expand your territory to a million miles! As for expanding your territory to a million miles, that means the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if you want to be emperor, I may not be able to control it!"
"Lord, you are domineering!" It is everyone's hope to be granted the title of marquis and general, but if you can be granted the title of king, who wouldn't want to? If you can expand your territory to a million miles, you can become an emperor, and everyone will laugh at it. If you can expand your territory, you can be a king.
Let everyone's hearts begin to tremble.
"It's not that I'm domineering, but I know how big the world is!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Since the Han generation, starting from Emperor Wen, those princes and kings have been restless. In this case, why let them stay in the Han Dynasty to cause trouble! If you have the ability, go out
Are you kidding me if you bully your own people at home?"
Shocking! Liu Zhang's words stunned everyone. Indeed, during the Han Dynasty, all the princes and kings set their sights on the Central Plains, but outside the Central Plains, no one cared!
"The south is full of miasma, and Liaodong is desolate. The further you go to the north and south, the harder it is to survive, isn't it?" Fazheng looked puzzled. After all, he was only fifteen years old and his knowledge was not broad enough. However, people in the Han Dynasty still said that the sky was round.
If Liu Zhang told them that the earth was round, they would not believe it.
Liu Zhang smiled and asked: "Xiaozhi, you said that it is difficult to survive in the north and the south, but aren't the barbarians, Shanyue, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes living well?"
"This..." Fazheng was dumbfounded and said with a face of disbelief: "Those foreigners originally grew up there, so they can naturally survive. We Han people..."
"Wrong!" Liu Zhang said seriously: "We Han people are greater than those foreigners, why can't we adapt to the climate there? When it's cold, we wear more clothes; when it's hot, we can store ice to cool off. After ten or eight years, one generation after another,
Didn’t we Hans just conquer that place? As for the food issue, even the remote areas of foreigners have specialties. If we exchange cattle and horses for food and exchange what we have, we can still live a good life! What’s more, we can find some that are both delicious and delicious.
And crops that can be grown in cold places can be used as food!”
"Is...is there such a thing?" Fazheng looked confused.
"How do you know if you haven't looked for it?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It's like the grains we eat and the medicines used to treat diseases were not all found by Shen Nong bit by bit, so much so that there is a legend that Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs. Since
Shen Nong could do it, why can’t we? Shen Nong could find grains, but we can’t find other foods? When people are hungry, grass roots and bark can feed their hunger, let alone other plants!”
"What my lord said makes sense!" Fazheng was also a wise man, but he read too much and his thinking was a little restricted. However, he was a young man after all, and Liu Zhang only opened a gap for him, and he immediately came out of the cocoon.
Liu Zhang looked at Fa Zheng with great satisfaction and said: "Xiaozhi, I let you and Fengxiao be in charge of intelligence at the same time. It's not that I don't trust you, but that I need too much information. One person can't handle it! It's not just the enemy's intelligence.
, as well as officials and people’s livelihood, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation. Many people are debating whether the country is rich and the people are strong, or the people are rich and the country is strong. I can tell you that only when the people are rich can the country be strong!”
Fa Zheng asked: "Lord, everyone is lazy. If the people are rich, they will often ignore the country!"
"Then what does a great Confucian do?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies. It does not mean that it is difficult to govern, but that all aspects need to be matched. The ancients said: If you have enough warehouses, you will know the etiquette. You can't even eat.
How can we talk about being patriotic when we are full? While we are feeding the people, we must also popularize education so that the people can read, be literate, know etiquette, and be patriotic! When the people understand the country's laws and policies, those officials will no longer want to fool them.
The common people have become wishful thinking. The common people know that they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and officials cannot be unscrupulous, so the country will naturally prosper!"
"What my lord said is true!" Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhang's face with admiration and conviction in his eyes. Even though Guo Jia had been following Liu Zhang for several years, he was truly convinced by Liu Zhang today.
"I'm old!" Liu Yan looked pleased as he looked at Liu Zhang talking eloquently. With a son like this, what could I ask for? However, Liu Yan was also a little confused. Where did Liu Zhang learn these things from? Cai Yong? Liu
Yan is very familiar with him. He must not have these abilities? Could it be Tong Yuan? Liu Yan was thinking wildly and couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong with Master Tong?" Hearing Liu Yan's question, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little confused.
Liu Yan said with a smile: "I was thinking that my son has such knowledge. I wonder who he learned it from. Could it be Tong Yuan? If it is really him, then Tong Yuan can be said to be a learned man!"
"Not the master!" Zhao Yun frowned and said, "The master is my senior brother. What the master taught him, he also taught me!"
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Won't Teacher Tong tell Zhang'er more?"
"No, master is the most fair person and will never teach more just because of preference!" Zhao Yun looked serious, and Liu Yan had to believe it.
"Father, stop guessing! In fact, I have known these things since I was a child!" Liu Zhang shrugged, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Since childhood?" Liu Yan asked in confusion, "When?"
Liu Zhang said: "I knew it when I was born! I wonder if my father still remembers that I didn't speak for five years?"
"Of course I remember!" Liu Yan said with a smile: "I have been confused about this for a long time. But you said you are too lazy to talk!"
"You are indeed too lazy to talk!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Anyone who has a lot of inexplicable things in his mind will be too lazy to talk!"
"You mean..." Liu Yan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "The world is so big and full of wonders, why should my father be surprised!"
"That's true!" Liu Yan nodded and said nothing more.
Since ancient times, there have been countless strange people. Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve, Xiang Luo became Confucius's teacher at the age of seven, and Liu Zhang knew some things that others didn't know since he was a child, which is not too extraordinary. Liu Yan is plain, but others are not.
Think so.
Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others followed Liu Zhang very early. They watched Liu Zhang develop step by step, and Liu Zhang also regarded them as brothers. Now that they know Liu Zhang from birth, they are not only more loyal, but also much more respectful.
Seeing the change in the demeanor of Guo Jia and others, Liu Zhang did not want to be separated from them. So Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Everyone, even if I know it from birth, it is nothing! Without your help, I would not be able to develop today..."
"Lord..." Guo Jia and others looked excited. It felt good to be recognized by others!
"Zilong, Yide, I still like to hear you call me brother!" Liu Zhang was smiling, which moved Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei deeply.
"Brother..." Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun shouted excitedly, making Guan Yu on the side a little jealous.
"Yun Chang..." Seeing Guan Yu's expression change slightly, Liu Zhang put one hand on his shoulder and said: "You are older than me. It seems inappropriate to call you eldest brother. And I am your lord. If I
Even if I call you eldest brother, you probably won’t dare to accept it. But in my heart, you have always been my brother.”
"My lord..." Guan Yu, who was a little envious of Zhao Yun and others just now, immediately leaned down and worshiped: "How can I be so virtuous and capable that my lord loves me so much..."
"Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Zhang helped Guan Yu up and said, "Although we can't call each other brothers, in your heart, you can regard me as your younger brother!"
"I don't dare!" Guan Yu was born in the grassroots and was a fugitive. Liu Zhang was already promoting him by making him a general. Now that Liu Zhang calls him a brother, he really feels a little ashamed of himself.
"Yun Chang!" Liu Zhang shouted loudly: "You are my proud brother. There is nothing you dare not do. Hold your chest high and don't let me down!"
"Yes, lord!" Guan Yu shouted loudly, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
You must know that Guan Yu in history was extremely arrogant, which was actually a manifestation of his low self-esteem. He was born in the grassroots and was a fugitive. This has always been a scar in Guan Yu's heart. In order to cover up this scar, Guan Yu buried his heart.
He also uses his arrogant appearance to keep others away from him thousands of miles away.
Guan Yu was a talented general, but Liu Zhang gradually discovered that as Guan Yu's official position rose, he became more and more arrogant. Without Taoyuan's friendship, Liu Zhang didn't know whether Guan Yu would be as loyal to him as he was to Liu Bei in history. But Liu Zhang was not
I don’t want Guan Yu to be as arrogant as he was in history and die because of his arrogance. This would be such a pity!
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and taking advantage of the opportunity that everyone thought Liu Zhang was born with, Liu Zhang not only wanted to win the hearts of the people, but also wanted generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who obviously had mental flaws to overcome those flaws and achieve perfection.
As for Guo Jia and other counselors, Liu Zhang knew that they were not easy to fool and could only be subdued with ability and trust. However, Liu Zhang seemed to underestimate the ancients' belief in ghosts and gods. Even Guo Jia was also affected by his nonsense.
, with a deceptive look on his face.
"Report!" Just as Liu Zhang and the others were immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the monarch and his ministers, a shout from a small school broke the harmony.
"What's going on?" Seeing that the atmosphere he had finally created was broken, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Seeing Liu Zhang staring at him, the junior colonel didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and handed Liu Zhang a piece of information: "Your Majesty, General Huang has a letter!"
