Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1511 Eleven Before Enthronement
"Although many years of war in Guanzhong have caused some people to live in dire straits, it is indeed difficult to govern, but Guanzhong has a foundation after all!" Kuai Liang bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "The land of Guanzhong, whether it is population or land, is a Not bad, as long as it is managed properly, it will become a very important granary in the future!"

"You can think so, Gu is very happy!"

Mu Jing smiled, and had to say that Kuai Liang was on the right track, if he was that kind of uncivilized person, he might not be able to gain a firm foothold in Yongzhou.

"Report to Your Majesty, although there have been some changes in the governance of Yongzhou, the subordinates believe that there are still big problems, and I am willing to continue stationing in Yongzhou!"

Kuai Liang didn't know why he secretly invited him back this time, and now he was very worried and uneasy.

So preemptive strikes.

He expressed his opinion.

It is to tell Mu Jing that I am willing to guard the territory for the Ming Kingdom, so that even if Mu Jing wants to make trouble, he has to consider whether it is appropriate to treat a loyal minister like this.

This is not to blame for Kuailiang's villainous heart, but his situation is like this. Even in Yongzhou, he has not dared to relax for a moment these years.

He is very clear that every move of the Jing Wu Division spy beside him may be reported to Mu Jing's case every day, so he has always acted cautiously.

If one person dies, he is fearless, but if more than a thousand members of the Kuai family are implicated, he is a sinner. For the sake of the Kuai family, he will never let anyone take advantage of him.

"Yongzhou is very important!"

Mu Jing glanced at him playfully, this fellow was still too cautious, but he was no wonder, his position beside Liu Biao was too important back then, it was Mu Jing who gave him face to survive, he really didn't dare to After thinking about it, he expressed his loyalty first, but this didn't match Mujing's plan.

He is not going to let Kuai Liang go back to Yongzhou.

As for Governor Yongzhou...

This seat can be handed over to someone from the Huangfu family.

The Huangfu family has deep roots in Yongzhou, and although the Huangfu family is a powerful family, their nature is different. Huangfu Song has destroyed the foundation of the Huangfu family.

So Mu Jing is very relieved to use Huangfu's family.

Of course, the specific operation depends on the Zhaoming Pavilion. Every governor is a feudal official, and the selection of candidates has to go through a lot of selection.

From this place to the Zhengshitang and then to the Zhaoming Pavilion, one has to go through a series of affirmations before taking office.

Now for Mujing, what is more important is Kuai Liang.

He called Kuai Liang back to let Kuai Liang join the cabinet, but before entering the cabinet, he had to subdue Kuai Liang first, and he couldn't cultivate a knife for his own.

The town uniform here does not mean how much loyalty he has to the Ming country. This is very difficult to achieve. It must be cultivated bit by bit. To bind the future of the entire Kuai family with the Ming country, he can only give up his heart.

What Mujing wants to suppress is Kuai Liang's approval of the New Deal. Only in this way can Kuai Liang become a banner of the New Deal in Zhaoming Pavilion.

Although Xu Shu is fierce, but his rank is too low, it is difficult for him to join the cabinet. His qualifications and ability are almost poor, and there is no hope in ten or eight years.

As for the new policy to be promoted across the country, there must be someone in the Zhaoming Pavilion who takes the lead. This person cannot be Mujing, who thinks that Mujing is an emperor, and an emperor has the dignity of an emperor, so he should not be easily dismissed. This will lose his dignity.

"However, you said that you want to pacify Yongzhou and let Yongzhou develop. I'm afraid it will not be easy!" years, but after all, the background is profound, and there are countless aristocratic families. If you want to restore the productivity of Yongzhou, you must have enough land and enough population, but these people control the population and land. If you want to develop, you have to think twice Bar!"

"Your Majesty knows everything!"

Kuai Liang smiled wryly, he was just talking, he was really just showing his loyalty. As for Yongzhou, it was already very difficult for him to achieve the superficial peace. With such courage, he might be killed inexplicably within a few minutes.

The strength of the Guanzhong family is strong. Although most of the power is now in the Central Plains, Guanzhong has always been their foundation.

In this regard, they are much more difficult to deal with than the family members of the Jingxiang family.

There are many aristocratic families, and there are many cases of land annexation. In the past few years, there was a lot of chaos in Guanzhong. The more chaotic, the more these aristocratic families will take action to annex land.

It's not that Kuai Liang is incapable of restoring Guanzhong's productivity, but that he really can't do anything about it. Eighty percent of the land and population are controlled by these aristocratic families, powerful gentry and wealthy families.

Pulling his whole body, even if he is willing to help the Ming country, he dare not move easily, so the peace in Yongzhou has always been the balance on the surface.

Of course, Kuai Liang didn't do nothing in Yongzhou. He also did a lot of things, helping Ming to establish a lot of kingly majesty.

For example, among the scholars, he stabilized Mujing's opponents and established the Ming Dynasty's reputation. Otherwise, Guanzhong Shilin would not give up easily and asked Mujing to become emperor this time.

There is a lot of Kuailiang's credit here.

"Since you know it, then you also understand that even if you go back to Yongzhou, you can't do anything, you can only feel aggrieved!"

Mu Jing sighed: "Yongzhou's problem is not a problem of a single place, but a problem of the whole world. If you want to solve this problem, you have to take a long-term view!"

"Long-term vision?"

Kuai Liang had vaguely realized something, but he was still not quite sure.

"Does Zirou know the fundamental reason why Yongzhou has fallen into such a situation?" Mu Jing asked in a low voice.

"This one……"

It's not that Kuai Liang doesn't know, it's that he doesn't know how to answer to be a satisfactory answer.

"If you don't say it, if you can't tell it, then I will tell you!" Mu Jing said: "The war is part of the reason, but it can be traced to the bottom. The root cause is still because of institutional problems. In exchange for big gains, the common people have nothing, the hungry and the frozen to death, this is the stink of wine and meat of the Zhumen, and there are frozen bones on the road!"

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!"

Kuai Liang muttered for a while, his heart was shaken.

But then, he smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, I also come from a famous family. There are some things that I really can't do!"

"Whether you can do it or not, that is your own choice, no one will force you!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "But if you want to change, if you want to get the meritorious service of Yongzhou, you have to pay the price!"

"I don't know what price the king needs the minister to pay?" Kuai Liang frowned, he was a little confused about Mu Jing's mind, because Mu Jing's mind became more and more treacherous.

"What do you think of the New Deal?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

"New Deal?"

Some of the thoughts in Kuai Liang's mind were instantly connected. His brain turned very quickly, and very quickly, he thought through a lot of things in two or three strokes.

Of course, if you want to understand it, you want to understand it, but you don't dare to believe it absolutely, he still has to see what Mu Jing is thinking.

Since ancient times, companions are like companions to tigers. Although Mu Jing doesn't have the kind of temperament that is cloudy and uncertain, he is also a very terrifying person. He dare not trust him absolutely.

"Does Your Majesty want you to implement the New Deal in Yongzhou?"

Kuai Liang lowered his voice and asked.

"If so?" Mu Jing asked back.

"in the case of……"

Kuai Liang was silent for a while, then hesitated, finally gritted his teeth, made a decision, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the king!"

"Knowing that the New Deal has a conflict of interest with the gentry, especially the aristocratic families, they all have great opinions on the New Deal, and you will agree to it as the leader!" Mu Jing smiled: "Don't say that those who know current affairs are heroes, I really want to kill you, no At this time, you will understand in your heart!"

"Your Majesty, the New Deal is beneficial!"

Kuai Liang calmed down for a moment, and quickly replied: "Not only is it good for the common people, but even for the aristocratic families. The emergence of the New Deal may allow us to continue our glory, otherwise, we, the aristocratic families, will be We are going to wither in this era. When the new world is settled and the country is stable, there will be heroes from the founding of the country to suppress us. It's just money, we can afford to lose it, as long as the New Deal can be implemented, our aristocratic family will survive better!"

The new rules will replace the old rules. For many people, this is a hesitation and a bad thing. Even for those who enjoy the benefits in front of the old rules, it is a kind of threaten.

But the rules can be used, and if they are not broken, they cannot be established.

Kuai Liang sees farther than anyone else. This is rooted in his surrender at the beginning. He chose to surrender not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but more because he saw the future.

People all over the world say that Mujing has a natural hostility towards the aristocratic family, but after pursuing the root, he found that Mujing often has special ways to solve special things. He is just looking for a new balance and new rules. , never deliberately targeted anyone.

However, the aristocratic family has survived for many years, and it is also dangerous in this troubled world.

If the foundation of the aristocratic family's inheritance can be re-established within Mujing's rules, it will be a good thing for the Yujingxiang aristocratic family.

"very good!"

Mu Jing was a little surprised, he looked at Kuai Liang's eyes, he became more and more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Many people can't understand, can't understand, can't see through, because they are in the game, but you, in the Outside, let you see more things clearly!"

He is very clear that if the new rules replace the old ones, there will inevitably be a price to pay, perhaps blood flowing, or cruel fighting.

However, Mu Jing does not think that his new policy is to create fighting. Even if he is a little disobedient, he hopes to let them go through the transition between the new policy and the old system smoothly, so in many national policies of the new policy, he leaves The purpose of opening some back doors is to allow these aristocratic families to transform, reduce their own dangerous power, and allow them to live more safely.

"Others can't see it, because they don't understand the king, but the ministers admire him very much. Although the king has the thunderbolt method, the heart of the king is always the heart of a benevolent!" Kuai Liang said softly: "If the king can't see it If there is too much bloodshed, the New Deal will be promoted more smoothly, I am afraid that the New Deal will not be like this in the land of Jingxiang now!"

With this sentence, he didn't flatter Mujing, but really admired Mujing. Mujing's methods were ruthless and killed countless people. To reach this position, he definitely came up through blood and bones.

But it is undeniable that Mu Jing has always had a heart of benevolence and righteousness towards the common people, and he is a little naive. The Grandmaster wants to use the least casualties in exchange for the greatest victory.

Sometimes Kuai Liang doubts how Mu Jing got to where he is today. In some things, he is still too benevolent for a woman, not like the attitude a hegemon should have.

"That's a nice word, I'll take all the lonely photos!" Mu Jing doesn't mind flattering, he likes to hear good things, especially flattering words, he also likes them.

"Chen Nai is sincere!"

Kuai Liang bowed his hand.

"I really didn't say it, I'm going to do it!" Mu Jing asked: "If you are asked to go to Yongzhou to implement the New Deal, what should you do?"

"Do it directly!"

Kuai Liang answered quickly.

"why?"

"Because this is the simplest and smoothest way!" Kuai Liang said: "Now the majesty of the Ming Dynasty spreads all over the world, and it is spread all over the Guanzhong. New Deal policy, don't give them time to react!"

"Will that be messy?"

"There must be chaos, but it will be within the scope of control. As long as the new policy can be implemented, it will be worth it!" Kuai Liang answered him.

"The idea is good. If I ask you to do it, it shouldn't be a big problem. Unfortunately, you have more important tasks!" Mu Jing smiled: "So, you write a letter and list everything you think. Come out and send it to the governor's mansion, Shi's mansion!"

"The long history of Huangfu?"

"He is the next governor of Yongzhou!"

Mu Jing said lightly.

He hand-picked it, even if it is the Zhaoming Pavilion, it has to give some face, as long as it goes through a process, the problem should not be considered a big one.

"The minister..." Kuai Liang is not very worried about his situation now, but he is somewhat confused. Mu Jing called him back and deprived himself of the status of governor of Yongzhou.

"Get ready to join the cabinet!"

Mujing said calmly.

"Join the cabinet?"

When Kuai Liang heard the words, at first he felt that he had heard it wrong, but when he finally looked at Mu Jing's calm and indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but gasp.

"There are more and more affairs in the Ming Dynasty, and the seats in Zhaoming Pavilion are vacant, which is difficult to manage. So this time, several people will join the cabinet to participate in politics!"

Mu Jing said softly.

He is very particular about the number of people, it can be several people, it can be one or two, anyway, how many people join the cabinet depends on the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, this minister is a descendant. In the past, he was a criminal. He did not make any contribution in the Ming Dynasty. If he enters the cabinet, he will not be qualified!"

Kuai Liang suppressed the joy in his heart and calmed himself down first. He was not an old minister like Hu Zhao, nor an old man like Cai Yong who had a great reputation and supported Mu Jingliang. He was just a surrender. In Yongzhou, it is also unknown.

"I think you are qualified, and you are!"

Mujing patted him on the shoulder: "Gu believes in the past you let go, so Gu let you join the cabinet. You have talent, and you can't waste it on trivial matters. You should do your part for the country and the world, understand!"
