Shuhan

Ten days later.

Outside Longguan.

Han army camp.

In the dragon tent, Liu Chan looked at Xin Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"I am very pleased that Duke Xin is willing to bring order to things. I think the post of Longxi County Sheriff is very suitable for Duke Xin."

Liu Chan came to offer his services, so naturally Liu Chan wanted to give him some benefits.

of course
This benefit is not given in vain.

Since I have given you the good job of being the governor of Longxi County, I want you to sacrifice your life and blood.

If he wants to take action against other aristocratic families in Longxi, you must not be soft-hearted!

And
Not only must we not be lenient, but we must be ruthless!

Xin Xiu obviously knew the implication of Liu Chan's words, and the smile on his face was a little forced.

But since he had made plans to surrender, he was naturally mentally prepared.

"My talents are insufficient, and I may not be able to fulfill His Majesty's great trust."

Liu Chan helped Xin Xiu up and said with a smile: "The Xin family in Longxi is a distinguished person in the world. Don't I know the talent of Mr. Xin? Please don't refuse, Mr. Xin."

Unable to refuse, Xin Xiu had no choice but to get off the donkey.

He knew he couldn't refuse, but it was one thing not to be able to refuse, and it was another thing to show his attitude.

"I can only encourage you to do it, and just obey your Majesty's orders."

The implication is clear.

To do this kind of thing, I must not be the main force. You should be the main force.

I can do this kind of thing like making assists and it's pretty good.

"Take your seat."

After seeing Xin Xiu reach the first place on the left, Liu Chan sat on the main seat with a very calm expression.

Liu Chan was not surprised at all that Xin Xiuneng came to join him.

After all, although the Longxi Xin family has properties in Longxi, their big houses have already developed outside.

The remaining ones in Longxi, there are three or two big cats and kittens, which are different from the Peng's eggs in Longxi put in one basket.

It is precisely because of this that the Xin family in Longxi obviously has more choices.

"I wonder how much Mr. Xin knows about me?"

How much do you know about you?
Xin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and the words of praise came out directly.

"Your Majesty sent his troops to conquer the south and the north. After hundreds of battles, he repeatedly achieved extraordinary achievements and was invincible. The chaos in the south and central was brought to peace by your majesty. The land of Jingzhou was also recovered by your majesty.

Mengde's heroic troops in the past were all defeated by your majesty's strategy and might, and their brave general Lu Meng was also captured by your majesty. The elite of Wu State were all turned into powder under His Majesty's iron heel. The land of Runan also belongs to Your Majesty.

This unrivaled feat belongs to none other than Your Majesty, and no one in the world can compare with it. "

Or should we say that these scholars speak so nicely?
Being praised like this, who can't feel proud?
Fortunately, Liu Chan was very calm and didn't take it seriously.

"How much do you know about what I'm asking about and my temperament?"

Your temperament?

Isn’t she a good wife?

Xin Xiu almost spat out these words, but fortunately she stopped in time.

How embarrassing would it be if he said this?

cough cough.

Feeling uncomfortable, Xin Xiu coughed, and then continued: "Your Majesty has a good temperament that is rare in the world. From what I can see, he is gentle, gentle, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and treats others with sincerity.

From what I have heard, Your Majesty is courteous and courteous, and he treats his ministers kindly and rationally. Whenever encountering major events, he can always deal with it calmly, deal with it calmly, and not be surprised or surprised. This kind of temperament is really the demeanor of a gentleman and the bearing of a saint.

Your Majesty is a gentle, elegant and generous person, which is really a blessing to our dynasty and a blessing to all people. "

Ok!

It’s all rainbow farts.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

Xin Xiu's top-notch nonsense literature seems to answer the question, but it doesn't seem to answer anything.

"I'm not a saint, you don't have to be like this."

If I continue to follow Xin Xiu Tai Chi, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything for the day.

Liu Chan had no choice but to show his cards.

"I want to capture Longxi." Liu Chan's eyes flashed and his words were sonorous.

"This is within your Majesty's mind!"

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "Instead of nominally occupying Longxi like Wei, I want to control Longxi."

Control Longxi?

Xin Xiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Does your Majesty want to kill all the nobles in Longxi?"

"Why did Mr. Xin say this?"

Xin Xiu said calmly: "If this were not the case, His Majesty would definitely not be able to control Longxi."

Although Xin Xiu's words were calm, they sounded a bit harsh to Liu Chan's ears.

"Are we going to kill all the nobles?"

Xin Xiu nodded heavily.

"In all the counties in Longxi, the officials from top to bottom are all from the Longxi gentry, including Li Zheng and the three elders in the village. If your Majesty wants to completely control the counties in Longxi, these people will also be killed, but If you kill these people, who will govern Longxi for Your Majesty?"

Seeing Liu Chan's silence, Xin Xiu hurriedly said to the side: "The reason why Wei Wu was able to succeed and defeat Yuan Shao was because he relied on the nobles."

Seeing that Liu Chan was unmoved, Xin Xiu gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.

He continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the career of an emperor cannot be accomplished by one person, and all requires the assistance of talents.

In the past, Cao Cao was able to unify the north by using talents and employing people in an eclectic way. The former emperor Liu Bei also valued talents and was able to establish the foundation of Shu Han with the help of Zhuge Liang and other wise men. When Sun Quan was in Jiangdong, he was able to stabilize Soochow because of the talents of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and other nobles.

These three people all succeeded because they valued the talents of the gentry. Your Majesty should take this as a lesson and pay attention to talents in order to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

It is not wise for Your Majesty to be hostile to the nobles now.

The Han Dynasty can prosper if we should recruit talents without distinction between scholars and common people, and only promote talents. "

Liu Chan knew that Xin Xiu was telling the truth to a large extent.

When Cao Cao first started, he received strong support from his family. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan of the Xiahou family; Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu of the Cao family also came to join him.

At the beginning, Cao Cao only had a small base and few generals. However, Cao Cao came from a family of eunuchs that was despised by the world. In order to fully discover and utilize talents, Cao Cao discovered talents in his own team and broke the concept of family status at the time. , promote and reuse literati warriors from the lower class of society, win the support of small and medium-sized landowners, and try to make use of the talents of the enemy who have surrendered.

Although Chen Gong was dissatisfied with Cao Cao and colluded with Lu Bu to rebel, it did not make Cao Cao give up his policy of "paying attention to his talents".

In 196, Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor and became the spokesperson of the Eastern Han government. With unparalleled political advantages, scholars had to serve Cao Cao whether they came for Cao Cao or to restore the Han Dynasty.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao promulgated the "Order to Seek Talents". He issued it again in the 19th year and issued it for the third time in the 22nd year. Therefore, he was able to obtain most of the world's talents and dominate the Central Plains, laying a solid foundation for the Wei State. Liu Bei came from a declining royal family, and had been reduced to the point where he had to make a living by weaving straw mats. The family had no talent left to speak of.

At the beginning of the war, Liu Bei did not have as strong a family foundation as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and his royal status did not bring him a political advantage in the early days.

Because Liu Bei himself had limited knowledge and did not pay enough attention to scholars, it is not difficult to find that among Liu Bei's early talents, there were basically no talented literary counselors.

On the contrary, Liu Bei attached great importance to generals. He not only received the loyal support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but also the favor of Gongsun Zan's brave general Zhao Yun.

However, due to the lack of strategic and political correctness, Liu Bei had to face the lessons of many failures even though he had good generals.

During the period when Liu Biao took refuge in Jingzhou, Liu Bei finally recognized the important role of scholar counselors, and successively received the support of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Ma brothers and others from the Jingzhou area, and his career began to rise, especially It was Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who made great contributions in capturing the four counties of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei has always relied on the power of aristocratic families. As early as when Xuzhou replaced the Tao Qian family in taking over the ruling position, he established a kinship with the local wealthy Mi family, and received strong financial and human support from the Mi family.

While in Jingzhou, he won the support of the local powerful families of Ma, Xi, and Pang; after capturing central Sichuan, he also received favorable support from Sichuan powerful people, among whom Fazheng, Li Yan, Meng Da and others were representatives.

There was no major chaos in central Sichuan when Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, and the rear was always stable when Cao Cao was fighting for Hanzhong. This was inseparable from the fact that it had the support of powerful powerful forces.

Like Liu Bei, Sun Jian attached great importance to generals but not to civilian counselors. However, Sun Jian himself had a certain strategic vision and outstanding military command talents. He was famous for his bravery in combat and flexible command.

In the early stage, Sun Jian basically did not encounter strong opponents, so Sun Jian was able to sweep Jingnan.

But even if Sun Jian married the Wu sisters of the Jiangdong family, he still would not be recognized by the wealthy family.

Because the talents under Sun Jian at that time were mainly from the middle and lower classes, and not many members of the aristocratic family were included among them.

Sun Ce learned from his father, Sun Jian, who did not value literati and counselors. As early as when he rebelled, he "befriended Zhou Yu and united with scholar-bureaucrats."

Sun Ce asked Yuan Shu to retrieve more than a thousand Sun Jian's old soldiers, and at the same time received help from his uncle Wu Jing.

Due to Wu Jing's influence in Jiangdong, Sun Ce received support from the families of Lu Fan, Sun He, Zhang Zhao and others.

Sun Ce inherited his father's advantages of bravery and speed in fighting. After initially pacifying Jiangdong, he received the support of famous literati and counselors from Jiangdong such as Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, and Chen Duan, and his future was bright.

It is a pity that Sun Ce also inherited his father Sun Jian's excessive bravery and frivolity, and was eventually ambushed and killed.

Thanks to the support and influence of his uncle Wu Jing, as well as Sun Ce's own efforts, the big family began to occupy a place among the talents, and this was also the beginning of the Sun family's reliance on the big family.

After Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce and became the ruler of Jiangdong, he also gained the strength to compete with Cao Cao by relying on the power of Jiangdong's powerful families.

Sun Quan paid more attention to literati than Sun Ce. When he took office, he "recruited handsome people and hired celebrities." While attracting original talents such as Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu, he also began to implement the policy of mutual utilization with aristocratic families.

The employment mainly relied on Jiangdong's big families, such as Lu Xun and his son, Zhu Zhi, Pan Rui and others; at the same time, the Sun family's clan also began to show up.

Sun Quan believed that "if you can use the strength of all people, you will be invincible in the world; if you can use the wisdom of all people, you will have no fear of the saints."

At the same time, he also used the excuse that Cao Cao was a "Han traitor" and wanted to "clean up the rule of the emperor" and recruited a large number of talents and trained troops.

Moreover, Sun Quan was very good at listening to everyone's opinions and adopting the best ones. He also paid great attention to the group advantages of talents, overcame the "unorthodox" status, gradually grew his power, and dared to confront Cao Wei for a long time.

To be honest, the Three Kingdoms and the other three parties only became powerful because they recruited talents from famous families.

For example, the Zhuge family has investments in all three parties. After the Wei State implemented the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, the status of the family was even higher than before.

If you, Liu Chan, want to control Longxi, you must eradicate all the nobles in Longxi.

You can kill.

But after the killing, who will manage Longxi for you?

The aristocratic family is currently on the rise. Can you, even as an emperor, really stop the trend by yourself?
The mantis is acting like a chariot, and he is overestimating his own abilities!
This guy can actually talk.

Liu Chan's eyes flickered and his brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing that Liu Chan seemed to be moved, Xin Xiu added another sentence.

"If Your Majesty persists in his stubbornness, I'm afraid that Yin Jian from Mang is not far away!"

Even though Wang Mang reversed the course of history, even though he was the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he still ended up in failure, defeated and killed.

Your Majesty, don’t imitate them!
good for everyone.

Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to rule the world together with Meimei?

Seeing that the fire was not enough, Xin Xiu added another handful of firewood:

"If Your Majesty attaches great importance to talents, it may not be impossible to recreate the prosperous times of Wenjing's time."

A big stick and a date.

I have to say that this Xin Xiu really has a sharp mouth.

However, if Liu Chan was moved by his few words, would he still be Liu Gongsi?

"How can I tolerate the nobles who serve their family instead of the country, occupy resources instead of using them for the people, cause chaos in times of trouble, and annex land?"

Liu Chan sneered, and then said: "Mr. Xin just said it too much! Although Li Zheng and the three elders of the clan are from the gentry clan, are they still gentry clan? Even if I kill them, so what? The children of the aristocratic families who moved to Guanzhong will be here. Yes, even if they will become the new Longxi gentry in a few decades, that will only happen in a few decades, Mr. Xin, don’t you think so?”

Liu Chan is indeed inseparable from the help of the aristocratic family.

He needs someone to help him run the country.

He had no choice but to be a member of the noble family.

After all, how can those common people govern the place if they basically cannot read a word?

As for cultivating talents
That takes time.

It will take at least ten years, or even longer, before talents can be cultivated among ordinary people.

And
One indisputable fact is that unless Liu Chan can maintain this talent output channel, the family's rise in power will be unstoppable.

The gentry is not static. The original Hansu, or even the mud-legged common people, may become gentry.

Once this channel is cut off, those who have already landed will gradually become new nobles.

The enemy Liu Chan had to deal with was never just a few aristocratic families, but the entire world.

From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for Xin Xiu's unspoken words to be the enemy of the world.

He Liu Chan is really the enemy of the world.

Xin Xiu didn't expect that Liu Chan's murderous intention would be so serious, and that it would suddenly cut into the life gate of the Longxi noble clan, so he couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva.

Want to manage the place?
Can the descendants of the gentry in Guanzhong do it?

Can the descendants of the gentry in Yizhou do it?

Can the descendants of the gentry in Jingzhou do it?

Is it possible that you are the only one who is a descendant of the Longxi gentry?

Xin Xiu's lips were trembling, and she had a new understanding of Liu Chan's methods.

What a great move to pull the trigger.

But until now, Xin Xiu is still unwilling to admit defeat or surrender.

"If Your Majesty really wants to do this, I'm afraid it will take several years, spend billions of money, and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers before he can succeed, and it will only gain decades of control over Longxi. Is it worth it? ?”

"Hahaha~"

Liu Chan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "How many decades are there in life? For me, these decades are enough!"

With these decades, he has enough time to change the world.

For Liu Chan, all this is worth it!
Not to mention, Longxi is related to his plan for the Western Regions, and this place must be completely under his control! (End of chapter)
