Chapter 172
"Mr. Han Yu, I don't want you and me to see each other again. It's such a scene." The sky was already dim, and when Chu Nan, who had cleaned up the battlefield, returned to Dongyang under Zhou Cang's guard, Chen Gui and his son had already been brought back. Chen Gui, who was missing a hand, Chu Nan smiled.

Are you happy?
Although it was not generous, Chu Nan felt really happy.

At the beginning, he tried his best to meet the big celebrity, but now he has become a prisoner. With this kind of reversal and difference in status, it is difficult to maintain a calm mind.

Although Chu Nan could also understand that he was really not qualified to let the Chen family face him back then, he was like an ant in front of the Chen family.

But understanding is understanding. I understand that you liked to ignore me at the beginning, so now you can also understand my mentality of being a villain?
Although Chu Nan practiced Confucianism, he never thought of becoming a sage.

"If I had known today, I should have eliminated you directly!" Chen Gui's mentality was a little out of balance at the moment, and he lost too much blood, and his mood was very irritable.

"No, Nan was just a small businessman back then, so it was reasonable for Mr. Han Yu to dislike me." Looking at Chen Gui at this moment, the malicious sense of revenge in Chu Nan's heart was much lighter.

Chen Gui glanced at Chu Nan, and said with disdain: "What, you are a pawn, you want to lobby on behalf of Lu Bu today?"

"What are you talking about?" Chu Nan shook his head and smiled, "Just chatting casually, Duke Han Yu is willing to surrender, I dare not ask my father-in-law to accept it, if you are not careful, all of Xuzhou will be packaged and sold to others by your Chen family. "

"I want to know more, how brother Ziyan wants to treat my Chen family?" Chen Deng who was at the side suddenly said, he looked calm.

"Suggestion, suggestion, it is the father-in-law who makes the decision in Xuzhou. Brother Yuanlong said so, so that people who don't know it can listen to it. Brother Yuanlong wants to provoke my relationship with Weng and my son-in-law. Brother Yuanlong is a high-ranking scholar. If word spreads, even after Brother Yuanlong's death, the stigma won't be washed away." Chu Nan quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just passing by to have a look."

Chen Deng took a deep look at Chu Nan, nodded and said, "What suggestion does Brother Ziyan want?"

"Zhu Jiu clan is a bit big, let's just go to the Yi clan." Chu Nan looked at the Chen family's father and son whose expression changed suddenly, and explained with a gentle face: "Everyone is treated like this, and Brother Yuanlong and Duke Han Yu also treated each other like this before. I know that they ransacked and killed all the families just for causing chaos, and Brother Yuanlong colluded with the traitor Yuan Shu, and even more openly wanted to split Guangling, if they are not severely punished, those dead and dead families may not be convinced."

"Chu Ziyan, do you really want to be an enemy of the world's aristocratic families!?" Chen Gui glared at Chu Nan, annihilated the three clans, and the Chen family was basically gone!
"It's been a long time ago. I don't know if Mr. Han Yu has heard of it. The debt is too heavy. Even if the father-in-law doesn't kill you, the world's aristocratic families will still hate the father-in-law. If so, why bother?" Chu Nan said with a smile. .

Starting from the massacre of the gentry from all over the place, Lu Bu basically gave up the way of the gentry.

"Brother Ziyan should be clear, although the gentry has its faults, but as far as the court is concerned, it has a lot of benefits!" Chen Deng was not flustered, but looked at Chu Nan and smiled.

"When the time is divided, the world is set for the first time, and the imperial court is usually not very rich. There are not enough manpower to govern the villages, and the government orders are not sent to the countryside. Therefore, local gentry are needed to assist the imperial court in governing the place. Between the villages, what do you say? It is more effective than the imperial court." Chu Nan has his own views on this.

"However, at the end of the dynasty, the gentry annexed the land. This time Xuzhou was raided. Your Chen family alone owned nearly half of the land in Xuzhou. When natural disasters and man-made disasters came, the people who could barely make ends meet ran away to become tenant farmers. But the imperial court can’t collect much tax from you, it can only increase the tax, who will pay these taxes? Isn’t it the ordinary people who can barely make ends meet?”

"In this way, more people will not be able to eat, so they can only go to your place as tenants. If the court does not raise taxes, it may be over soon, but if taxes are raised, it will be drinking poison to quench thirst, and it will also strengthen your aristocratic families in disguise."

"Look at Xuzhou's financial power and employment before, all had to be approved by you local big clans. In fact, the imperial court has been emptied. Even people like Tao Qian and Liu Bei have to be friendly with you to gain a foothold in Xuzhou. At this time, if If you don’t try to contain the aristocratic family, even if you change the dynasty, it will only change the world’s surname, and the real power is still in your hands, right?”

Chen Gui and Chen Deng were silent when they heard the words. They thought that Chu Nan was just a genius, and some strategies were nothing more than that, but it was the first time they sat down to communicate and realized that this person has a very thorough view of the world.

"Actually, it is best for my father-in-law to marry a noble family, but it's a pity...Han Yugong's proposals are to take his father-in-law into the gutter. He, if he wants to take the path of the gentry, his background is really important." Chu Nan sighed, "So we can only take another path."

Chen Deng looked at Chu Nan, and realized for the first time how terrifying this person was. His scariness was not because of his high strategy, but because he could clearly find a way forward for Lu Bu.

Strategies and the art of war are all about solving immediate problems, but what Chu Nan possesses is something that many counselors don't have. He knows what can be fought, what can't be fought, and which direction to go.

The most important thing is that Lu Bu obeyed him, and Chu Nan himself, who seemed to be a naughty villain, knew how to measure and never gave Lu Bu a chance to be suspicious. At the same time, as Lu Bu's son-in-law, he wanted to separate these two Disaster!
"Kill the nobles?" Chen Gui sneered.

"Of course you can't kill them all, but you have to kill them ruthlessly in the early stage. You high-ranking clans seem to be virtuous on the surface, but in fact they are still based on profit. This is like a dog biting meat. You If you don't beat it to the point of pain or even half to death, it will never let go of its meat-biting mouth."

Chu Nan touched his chin and said, "Of course, people are also needed for governance. This can be done slowly. People from the humble clans are enough to govern. The most important thing is that the wealth obtained by killing the noble clans is given to these people." A small part of the small clan is enough to make them grateful to Dade to work hard, and the rest is distributed to the common people. In this way, it doesn’t matter how you scold the outside, but we are all united inside. You see, the gentry is gone, and the benefits are actually quite a lot of."

At this moment, Chen Deng could no longer maintain that calm and breezy expression, and his face was a little gloomy: "Since Brother Ziyan sees clearly, with Brother Ziyan's talent and reputation at this time, he will not follow Lu Bu and go to any place. A family of lords are all honored guests, and with all due respect, Lu Bu is not a wise master."

"The one that suits you is the best." Chu Nan got up, straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Whether the dog is taken to guard the home or eat dog meat depends on whether the dog is obedient, but the strange thing is that the dog stays at home After a long time, it always regards itself as the master, which makes people helpless."

"Ziyan, why can Marquis Wen tolerate the Mi family but not my Chen family!?" Chen Gui looked at Chu Nan and suddenly shouted.

Chen Gui could not accept the destruction of the three clans. Compared with this, it was not out of the question to be loyal to Lu Bu.

"At that time, there was a shortage of people. If I killed Mi Fang, most of the belongings of the Mi family would be swallowed up by the gentry from all over the country. Eat it quickly, besides...Grand Han Yu, it’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that Mr Han Yu’s character is really hard for us to believe.”

"Actually, I want you two to die on the battlefield. This way, you two won't have to face such things as extermination." Chu Nan sighed, he was actually very kind.

"Brother Ziyan told my father and son so much, is it just to ridicule us?" Chen Deng looked at Chu Nan. He didn't quite understand that Chu Nan told them so much. He was analyzing the camp and imagining the future. Didn't you want to subdue the Chen family?

"Of course not. I'm not that boring. I just want to relax my mind. Brother Yuanlong also knows that there are mostly warriors around me. They don't understand what I'm talking about. Even if they admire my intelligence, I don't mind it at all." There will be too much sense of accomplishment, but Brother Yuanlong is a great talent in the world, and Mr. Han Yu is also rich and famous for a long time, and the two of them can recognize and show surprise, which makes me much more comfortable than their admiration." Chu Nanyao Shaking his head, how could he have such a low interest?Well, it is indeed a bit of a villain's success, but it is mainly to show talent and learning.

Chen Gui: "..."

Chen Deng: "..."

Chen Ying: "..."

Having said so much, just to show off?Chen Deng couldn't understand the pain in Chu Nan's heart. He frowned and said, "Then why don't you find Mr. Gongtai? He is a great Confucian."

"I also have this thought, but I don't have much knowledge in my chest, and I usually don't feel this way when discussing these things with my tutor." Chu Nan said naturally, something like a sense of superiority needs to be picked and debated with Chen Gong , Even if it makes sense, the old Confucian is actually very black-bellied, likes to suppress his apprentices, and can't find a sense of superiority in IQ. If things go on like this, it may affect his mental health.

Chen Deng was speechless.

"Since you know that you don't have much to learn, you should study hard instead of showing off!" Chen Gong's voice came from outside the door. Chu Nan looked back and saw Lu Bu leading Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and Wei Xu. Yue, Cao Xing and others came in all at once, but the generals looked at Chu Nan with such...unkindness.

"Teacher...how long have you been here?" Chu Nan asked with a dry smile.

"Ziyan's high opinion is quite reasonable, I can't bear to interrupt." Chen Gong said indifferently.

"It seems that Ziyan has a lot of prejudice against martial arts!" Wei Xu patted Chu Nan on the shoulder.

"No, how could it be." Chu Nan shook his head, and said seriously: "A martial artist is the backbone of the country. Internally, he can protect the country and the people. Externally, he can show power to foreign lands. How can I be prejudiced? Uncle must have heard it wrong."

"Oh?"

"Okay." Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling to the generals not to talk too much, looked at Chen Gui and his son, and said, "What Ziyan said was the result of discussions between the two of us on weekdays. Since he has already explained what he said, I will not To add more, the Chen family is full of families, and this general has brought everything he can find."

"Marquis Wen..." Chen Gui wanted to intercede, but was interrupted by Lu Bu waving his hand.

"Zi Yan has already made it very clear. Lord Han Yu, don't say any more. He always talks about the character of a celebrity. I want to see what a character is of a celebrity today. Take it with me. I'll send you on your way tomorrow." Lu Bu said. Let people take the father and son down.

"Lü Bu, if you have no plan, you will surely die in the future! Chen Gong, Chu Nan, you help the evil, even if you are lucky enough to win against me today, you will inevitably be wiped out in the future!" Chen Gui stood up and faced the three of them. cursed.

"Mr. Han Yu can't see that day anymore. There will be a result. I will entrust you with a dream!" Chu Nan nodded and smiled at Chen Yu: "I will not see you off in person tomorrow. I am too kind-hearted to see you off." Blood."

"Bastard, traitor, lowly businessman..." Chen Gui's voice gradually faded away, and the lobby fell into a strange silence.

"Father-in-law, Guangling is victorious, and our army has won the first battle. Next, it's time to tell the world, and second, it's time to award meritorious soldiers." Chu Nan coughed lightly, and said to Lu Bu.
