In the side hall of Tongzhou magistrate's mansion, Chu Huan looked at Ximen Yi, who was already very drunk, with a slight smile on his face.

Ximen Yi did not refuse any wine, after coming to the mansion, he drank three altars of fine wine, at this time he even pulled off his robe to expose his chest, it is really strange for this person to drink, he is not on the wine table, but likes to drink on the ground.

At this time, Ximen Yi was lying on the ground with a small half jar of unfinished wine on his chest. Since entering the mansion, he only knew how to drink without saying a word.

Seeing that Ximen Yi hadn't moved, Chu Huan approached, only to find that Ximen Yi had his eyes closed, breathing evenly, reeking of alcohol, and seemed to be asleep.

Chu Huan shook his head, got up, and walked out of the court, a breeze came in at night, refreshing.

Looking up at the shallow moon in the sky, Chu Huan was silent for a moment, heard snoring behind him, looked back, walked over, removed the wine jar from Ximen Yi's chest, and stretched out his hand to pull Ximen Yi's shirt up.

He stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "You have sent troops to the pass, your name is not justified, and if you go on like this, you won't be able to go for long...!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and turned around, only to see Ximen Yi, who was still asleep just now, sat up, and wondered, "You...how did you wake up?"

"Half-drunk and half-awake, wake up and wake up drunk, wake up drunk and wake up." Ximen Yi muttered, took the small half jar of wine in his hand, and drank it with his head raised. He was unkempt, and his movements were informal. He was so reserved, the wine splashed on his chest and the front of his clothes, and it soon got wet, and then saw him throw the wine jar aside, he got up, walked out of the side hall, and stretched.

Chu Huan was very surprised. He saw Ximen Yi drink three jars of wine with his own eyes. Although it was not an old jar of wine storage, the portion was quite a lot. He really didn't expect that this person would wake up in such a short time.

From this, it can be seen that this person has a strong capacity for drinking, which is not unusual.

"Is the name not right?" Chu Huan walked over, but Ximen Yi had already sat down on the threshold outside the hall, and said, "Today in the Huangfu, whether you want to promulgate the land equalization order or appease them, in order to let everyone It is unwise for them to promise that they will not implement the land equalization order."

Chu Huan couldn't help but sat down beside him, and asked, "Why do you say that, sir?"

Ximen Yi crossed his arms across his chest, and said: "People have always attributed the rise and fall of dynasties to whether the emperor is wise or not, so we have heard the great sages and villains of many emperors throughout the ages." After a pause, he looked at Chu Huan, Although he was drinking, there was no confusion in his eyes at the moment, "Do you think the rise and fall of the dynasty is really caused by the emperor?"

Chu Huan asked back: "Mr. seems to have a different opinion. I wonder if I can enlighten you?"

"Land annexation." Ximen Yi said: "This is the crux of the past dynasties, and it is also a stubborn disease that the past dynasties will never be able to cure. Throughout the past dynasties, all-out wars initiated by farmers from childhood after thorough wars , the dynasties established by it may have a period of prosperity, such as the Han Dynasty, and the Hua Dynasty in the previous dynasty. Their founding kings were all from humble backgrounds, participated in peasant wars, and established a powerful imperial dynasty .”

When Chu Huan saw that his words were clear and his words were not trivial, he immediately became awestruck.

"However, there was no thorough peasant war. Instead, warlords separatist to rule the world. The foundation of the empire is congenitally deficient and internally defective. It will soon be prone to various conflicts, leading to turmoil in the country." Ximen Yi said slowly. : "Do you understand why?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Sir, enlighten me!"

"After the separatist forces were unified, the foundation has not changed in fact, and the land annexation has not improved." Ximen Yi said: "If it is a thorough peasant war, during this period, the previous land will be destroyed to a considerable extent. The big landlords and the powerful can redistribute the land resources that are concentrated in the hands of a few people. In addition, when each new dynasty starts to govern, most of them can recuperate, benevolent and loving the people. The resulting contradictions are eased, and the country is in a stable state for a period of time... However, after the prosperity, it will inevitably decline, because with the development of time, land annexation will still come back, and the new power holders will Gradually expand the land, which is like a volcano, and when the land merger problem causes the basic survival of most people to have problems, the magma will erupt...!"

Chu Huan exclaimed in admiration: "Mr. really awakened the dreamer with one word, so it turns out...!"

"The northwest can restore stability in a very short period of time, that's why." Ximen Yi said: "Just like Xiguan where you are, the Xiliang people destroyed the original landlords and gentry in Xiguan, causing a large area of ​​land to be blank. At this time, you implement the order of equalizing land in Xiguan, which is in accordance with the law of heaven, and you implement benevolent government in Xiguan, so the original contradictions in Xiguan can be greatly reduced, and the support of Xiguan people is actually a matter of course." After a pause, Then he continued: "As far as the Tianshan and Beishan in the northwest, there should have been a chance to implement the land equalization order, but from the very beginning, there were serious mistakes in your strategy. If there is no accident, no matter whether it is Beishan or Tianshan, It is impossible to achieve the effect achieved by Xiguan's implementation of the land equalization order."

Chu Huan frowned, and asked, "What do you mean by the omissions you mentioned?"

"Although Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang were both defeated by you, you did not destroy these two powerful gentry, and even adopted a strategy of appeasement, retaining many of the original lands of the powerful gentry." Ximen Yi sneered: "The land It’s still the same land, the landlord is still the same landlord, you defeated Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang, but you didn’t destroy the foundation of the two powerful forces, so you couldn’t carry out a thorough land transformation in these two realms, nothing more than changing the two realms to new masters. "

Chu Huan was thoughtful, and Ximen Yi said: "You didn't continue talking at the banquet today, you left a way for yourself. If you make a decision at the banquet today, I'm afraid that the mistakes you made in the northwest will be lost. It will happen again." Turning around, leaning back against the door, "The land equalization order is your brilliant method. If conditions permit, it may really be a smooth road, but if the conditions for implementing the land equalization order are immature, or even dragged along, then implement it The result of the land equalization order will be counterproductive."

Chu Huan didn't understand it for a while, Ximen Yi naturally saw it, smiled lightly, and explained: "The original powerful landlords have not been destroyed, and the implementation of the land equalization order on this basis will not only make the powerful landlords resent or even hate, but also Because the land intensifies the conflict between the tyrants and the peasants, in this case, who will the government rely on, or in other words, whom should it favor? The land equalization order is naturally to allow the common people to obtain land, and from the beginning it is to recruit the peasants If there is a problem, if the peasants are not favored, the peasants will inevitably have enmity, but if the peasants are favored, the powerful gentry will inevitably feel resentment. As an enemy, the consequences are even more unimaginable...!" With a strange smile, "Governor Chu, did you ever think about this when you implemented the Equalization Order?"

Chu Huan opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

"Today's Tongzhou is under your control, but the strategy you adopted is to appease the gentry in Tongzhou." Ximen Yi said slowly: "If Governor Chu is determined in his heart and wants to win over the gentry in Tongzhou for his own use, today I have nothing to say about the banquet, that is to say, Governor Chu has no plan to implement the land equalization order in Tongzhou. However, if Governor Chu wants to win over these powerful gentry, but also wants to implement the land equalization order in Tongzhou, That is to repeat the same mistakes, and if we continue to follow this road until one day the magma erupts, I am afraid that Governor Chu will suffer the consequences, and the place he leads will be full of smoke."

Hearing Ximen Yi's analysis, Chu Huan was sweating. Wei Wuji presented the land equalization policy. Wei Wuji had a very detailed research on the specific implementation of the land equalization policy. It was only then that the Land Equalization Order could be implemented very smoothly in Xiguan, but looking back now, Wei Wuji obviously did not have a clear understanding of this deep hidden danger, and Chu Huan was even more unaware of it. Factors, but now in Tongzhou, the environment obviously cannot be compared with Xiguan.

Seeing that Chu Huan's brows were tightly frowned, Ximen Yi said leisurely: "If you want to implement the order of land equalization, you should take this opportunity to accuse the gentry of Tongzhou vigorously, and even take this opportunity to give them fatal destruction. Since there is no such If we do it, it will be impossible to implement the land equalization order in Tongzhou. You can’t have both, you can’t have both, you want to win over the local gentry, and you want to implement the land equalization order to win the hearts of the people...!" Shaking his head, he sighed: "The abacus is good, but I'm afraid that even myself will be included in the end."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Mr. Ximen, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Where do we go?" Ximen Yi smiled and said, "Why would Governor Chu ask me? This should be your own decision. Since you entered the customs, you already have the heart to fight for world supremacy. Could it be that Governor Chu never thought about it before entering the customs?" How should we go in the future? Could it be that you just want to rely on tens of thousands of northwest cavalry to rule the world?" He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I am surprised, what kind of banner is Governor Chu playing to fight for world hegemony? Resisting the tyranny of Qin is also true. The name is justified, but it’s a pity that it’s not the best banner...!" Sitting on the door railing, he turned his head to look at the crescent moon in the sky, and said slowly: "I heard that the governor of Chu claimed that the Qin State was tyrannical. Emperor Dingwu was cruel and merciless, he didn't even let his brother go, hehe, don't let go of his brother, this one, can really convince the world? How many people in the world know that Emperor Dingwu killed his brother? If others say you It's just spreading rumors and slandering, so what?"

Chu Huan's expression became more dignified, and Ximen Yi said leisurely: "On the contrary, many people know that when Emperor Dingwu was in charge of the country, he handled political affairs in the capital in an orderly manner, and punished many corrupt officials... Yes Well, from Governor Chu’s point of view, it’s just that Emperor Dingwu ruled out dissidents and eradicated the Qi royal party, but people in the world don’t understand this, they only see that Dingwu has indeed punished a large number of traitors, which is deeply popular... ..Yingyuan is cruel and ruthless, and his life is devastated, but this does not mean that Dingwu will do the same, and Dingwu's current performance seems to be trying his best to govern. Perhaps many people have already given birth to prayers for the new emperor. For the people of the world, If the new emperor can really work hard and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, why risk their lives to rebel and cause trouble?" He smiled, raised his hand to touch his chin, and stared at Chu Huan's face for a while, "On the contrary Governor Chu, if everyone in the world thinks that the new emperor is a good emperor who works hard to govern, but you lead the Northwest Army to attack, who will be on the other side of the world?"
