Chapter 796 The Difference Between Big and Small

Liu Xie was very pleased.

What pleased him was not how good Tian Chou's plan was - Tian Chou's plan was nothing new, and it was all within his expectations - but Tian Chou's change in attitude.

After several months of discussion, it has become a consensus that the advantages of land taxation outweigh the disadvantages, and the remaining disagreement is whether to forcibly save land.Opposition opinions are roughly divided into two types: one is to promote the kingly way of saving land by unrighteous means, which cannot achieve justice;

The former is retreat, the latter is pragmatic.

Tian Chou is obviously the latter.

In Jizhou, it is better to divide and conquer the land by force, and only attack the diehards, such as the judges and the like.Defeating these most powerful opponents will not only achieve deterrence, but also achieve most of Dutian's goal, and it will be more thorough.

Of course, more importantly, there is no psychological burden.

If you disobey the imperial edict and move against the trend, everyone will be punished.

From this perspective, Tian Chou's plan is almost perfect.

Just as he was talking, Liu He walked in quickly.Seeing Tian Chou here, he was a little surprised.After saluting and taking a seat, Liu He was greatly surprised after reading several memorials.

"Unexpectedly, Yuan Gonglu has such courage."

Liu Xie couldn't help but smile too.

Among the generals, Yuan Shu's ability is probably the worst, but he is the most courageous, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense.To put it nicely, soldiers never tire of cheating and win by surprise.To put it mildly, it is despicable and shameless, using everything to its extreme.

The last time he ambushed Yan Liang in Lujiang, this time he sneaked up on Yuan Shao in northern Hebei. He broke the stalemate twice, and his credit was enough to make many people dumbfounded and even beat their chests.

"How do you think Jizhou should be dealt with?" Liu Xie cut to the chase.

He is very busy and has no time to test each other with them.

Liu He thought about it carefully. "I thought it was time to take advantage of the situation and advance troops to pacify Jizhou. Yuan Shao was captured, Yuan Tan pleaded guilty, and Jizhou was panicked. It was time to advance. Yuan Xi was in Qingzhou, surrounded by Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and urgently needed reinforcements. If you can attack from all sides, surround Ye If Yuan Xi loses the city, Yuan Xi will be alone and helpless, and he will definitely lose. If Yuan Xi loses, the judge will stick to the isolated city, and if he surrenders, he will die. How many people can be with him?"

After Liu He finished speaking, he tapped the table with his finger. "At the beginning, Yuan Shao refused to surrender because he hoped that the court would be eager to save the land and change would happen in Shandong. The reason why the counties in Shandong were against saving the land was also because they hoped that Yuan Shao would raise troops. Now that Yuan Shao has been captured and the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats are desperate, it is time for the court to attack. "

Tian Chou looked at Liu He in surprise.

Liu He is from the East China Sea, so he is so radically in favor of Du Tian?

Liu He felt Tian Chou's gaze, but did not speak.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, and then asked another question. "Who do you think is in charge of this war?"

Tian Chou, Liu He said in unison: "Your Majesty must personally conquer."

Liu Xie was a little surprised.

In his opinion, this battle is actually not difficult. Both Han Sui and Shi Sun Rui have enough ability to settle it, and it seems that he does not need to personally fight.

But when he thought about it again, he felt that what they said was reasonable.

Just because anyone can do it, whoever is appointed will make others feel unjust.After much deliberation, only if he is in charge of the overall situation, can the generals obey orders and concentrate their forces to fight instead of fighting each other.

"This is a major matter, and you should discuss it with the three princes." Liu Xie finally made a decision.

-

After leaving the main hall, Tian Chou and Liu He walked side by side with brisk steps.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Gongheng has a new look. Congratulations." Tian Chou said half-truthfully.

Liu He turned to look at Tian Chou. "Zitai looks good today, and it's also worthy of congratulations. How about going for a drink with me?"

Tian Chou laughed. "Is alcohol allowed in the military?"

"Normally not, today's situation is special, you might as well have a drink."

"Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey."

Tian Chou is Yilang, Liu He is the governor of the right department, leading dozens of cavalry servants, all of whom are subordinates of Guangluxun Temple, but they are not together at ordinary times, and they are not far away.

When he came to Liu He's official residence, Liu He ordered people to serve wine and food, and sat opposite Tian Chou.After a while, the wine and food were set up, and Liu He took the lead in toasting.

"Zitai, Youzhou old man has made meritorious service with Yuan Gonglu. This is a happy event, and we should congratulate him."

Tian Chou did not refuse, and raised his glass to drink with Liu He.

Xian Yufu and others followed Yuan Shu to make meritorious service, this is indeed a happy event worthy of celebration.Since the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, the people of Youzhou have been busy fighting among themselves and lost their right to speak.

Even defeating Gongsun Zan and avenging Liu Yu in the end relied on Yuan Shao's strength.

Now, under the command of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao was unexpectedly captured alive by accident, and finally contributed to the pacification of northern Jibei. Although he came late, he arrived very coincidentally, and his luck was so enviable.

With this achievement, Youzhou also has the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bingzhou and Liangzhou.

If you consider the influence of Liu Bei and Liu He, the two clans, Youzhou even has the feeling that the latecomers are ahead.

As a Youzhou native, Tian Chou was of course happy.

Putting down the wine glass, Tian Chou let out a long breath. "Gongheng, what I'm happy about is not only that Xian Yufu and others have made great contributions, and they have gained a foothold since then. It is also that the emperor's new policy has given me hope. From now on, Youzhou will not be absent because of its small population. In the imperial court. Among other things, as far as the army is concerned, the people of Youzhou should be one of the three."

Liu He laughed loudly, raised his chopsticks, and pointed at Tian Chou. "Zitai, this remark is deeply in my heart. Although there is no difference in the enrollment of the martial arts hall, Bianzhou people are better in terms of hardship. The scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains live too comfortably, and after all, only a small number of people can be admitted to the martial arts hall. "

Tian Chou took advantage of the situation and raised his own doubts. "So you support the imperial court in saving the fields, and let them support themselves and work hard?"

Liu He blinked. "Not really."

Tian Chou raised his wine glass. "Also ask Fair Balance to advise."

"Zitai, although you have no prejudices, you have met too few people. Most of the people around you are descendants of aristocratic families. Their attitude towards Dutian will inevitably take into account their own gains and losses. Preconceptions may not be accurate. What I have learned Although the servants are not all ordinary people, most of them have limited property, so they may not be very repulsed by Du Tian, ​​and their mentality is relatively peaceful."

Tian Chou nodded, admitting that what Liu He said was true.

Most of Yilang is the son of an official, and he is a high-ranking official with more than two thousand shi, and most of his families have some land.Once the field is saved, the loss is huge, so I am more concerned about the disadvantages of the field.Some people have become paranoid to the point of ignoring the facts, and even he can't stand it.

Most of the people around Liu He came from poor families, some were even common people, and they became masters by virtue of martial arts.These people have limited losses and are not so exclusive.

"If I tell you that after Du Tian, ​​even a wealthy family, as long as they are flexible and put in the effort, their income will not decrease, but will increase substantially, would you believe it?"

Tian Chou froze for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Agriculture is not as good as work, and work is not as good as business?"

Liu He nodded, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

"No farming is unstable, and the imperial court saves the land to ensure people's food and clothing and avoid chaos. Only when everyone does not have to worry about hunger, can the world be peaceful. Only when the world is peaceful, can business have opportunities. The imperial court only opposes mergers, but does not boycott business. Where is competing for profit with the people? It is clearly for the benefit of the people. Those people keep small gains and abandon big gains, like hugging trees and abandoning forests, guarding wells and abandoning the sea, it is simply ridiculous.”
