Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 192 I have a friend

Sitting on the main seat, you will find delicious food in front of you.

Zhuang Xun was still in a daze, but he was overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of the gods.

"This heavy snowfall is indispensable without the support of all brothers and sisters. Bi Yue is here to toast you all."

Bi Yuewu sat on the lower left side of Zhuang Xun. He raised his glass to toast and drank it all in one gulp. Others also raised their glasses.

"This is not only to celebrate the fall of our frost and snow, but also to let you get to know His Majesty. If you have anything you want to ask Shaojun, you can ask now and we can communicate with each other."

Bi Yuewu raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun also woke up from his daze. He also picked up the wine glass and said generously and gratefully:

"Thank you all the Star Lord Immortals for your help. I would like to offer you a drink."

Zhuang Xun raised his head and drank the wine. The wine had no alcohol content and was like a sweet drink. It refreshed the mind and could not feel the cold in winter. The warm taste nourished the heart and relaxed the vigilance.

Seeing these gods also drinking, they showed a relaxed smile and nodded.

"Dear Star Lord Immortals, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything you know."

There is no nervousness at all. Just kidding, before he could get tired of Xuannv and use Bi Yuewu every day. He had no feelings of respect and worship for these gods.

Zhuang Xun's majestic appearance, neither humble nor arrogant, made several people nod. In terms of demeanor, with Siqin Mi's shaping and subsequent training in high positions, Zhuang Xun's appearance and temperament can surpass the eyes of these gods.

"I have heard that the young gentleman talked about the people at the banquet of the State of Zhao. I also admired your majesty's way of governing the country. He was very benevolent and friendly. However, I also saw that many aristocratic families were slaughtered and talents were withered. What does Your Majesty think?"

The woman in brocade raised her hand to ask, which started the first question-and-answer session. They chose Zhuang Xun, so they naturally wanted to investigate.

However, Zhuang Xun is very mysterious, and there is very little that can be verified about his words and deeds. In addition, he is "good at acting", so it is better to see him in person.

These people have also investigated Zhuang Xun's policies and measures, and basically all of them support them. A few are slightly confused like they are now.

It's not that Zhuang Xun made the mistake of killing a wealthy family, but he was afraid that those who killed a wealthy family would have no talent, and would push the talented people to the opposite side.

"Everything in the world has contradictions. Contradictions promote the development and advancement of things. Contradictions are divided into primary contradictions and secondary contradictions."

First, he laid out the premise, and his endorsement skills allowed him to immediately find a way to explain it. I don't know if these gods can understand it, but he said it anyway.

"Cracking down on the big families is the foundation of our country. The people need land and the country needs taxes. Solving the big families is the main contradiction in domestic governance. They occupy vast areas of land and pay low taxes or no taxes. They are everywhere. The county effectively became a semi-independent kingdom.”

Zhuang Xun said that he and Si Qinmi discussed the conclusion about the big family. They were no longer ordinary landlords and needed to take a heavy blow.

"Not only did they not pay taxes, they also sucked blood from the country, destroyed big families, and divided the land to reduce the number of refugees, create wealth, and add more taxes."

"When the people are rich, the national power can be enhanced. At the same time, the people who are allocated land can fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield and are not afraid of death, because they know that if they lose, the land will be lost. These are all positive cycles."

"After the big family is destroyed, there are no big forces or political alliances in the country that can stop us from governing. For example, Zhao State has to compromise with everyone."

Zhuang Xun talked about the benefits of destroying the big family, how it was reasonable, and why he should do it unswervingly, because he knew where his basic position was, and the two sides would not end well.

If he compromises with the aristocratic family, he will not get any support from them. If he is dissatisfied, he cannot guarantee loyalty. At the same time, the cake is so big. If he doesn't kill the aristocratic family, where will he get the money and land to reward the army and run the country.

Zhuang Xun paused when he saw everyone thinking, and continued to talk about the disadvantages of wiping out aristocratic families.

"Destroying a big family will result in the loss of talent, and it will take time to re-establish order. But for talent, Wen Wo has a pillar-like queen, Wu has the general's concubine, and the middle and lower levels can use the poor families of small aristocratic families. I am To eliminate the big aristocratic families is not to eliminate the small aristocratic families and poor families together."

Zhuang Xun made his position clear. He did not have the desire of a time traveler to realize Datong regardless of productivity. His wish was to try his best to change the situation of the people.

He believes that forcing you to cross the development stage and pursue an ideal country is a dead end. There are surrounding countries and enemies, who will let you go.

In the end, it would feel completely different, and he didn't bring any system to mechanically deceive the gods. Besides, he didn't even know if he was familiar with physics.

Unite all those who can be united, and the struggle that cannot be united will be over. After all, the pressure from the external environment is not strong enough to unite and fight at the same time.

"As for Xiancai, we put on a pair of boots with pebbles. Although it was very uncomfortable, we were able to walk."

"On the contrary, to compromise with the family, we are not walking on a flat road, but on an undulating path. Going down is easier at the beginning, but when we go uphill, the resistance at this time becomes difficult, and the resistance in the uphill shoes Not only are there no fewer stones, but there are even more.”

Zhuang Xun made a metaphor, unless he couldn't beat him, who would want to have a group of uncles in his family? This is what a big family is like.

Although there is no shortage of patriotic people and loyal and brave people, individual cases cannot represent the group. Most aristocratic families, especially big ones, are parasites that lie on the country and suck blood.

"As for the issue of order, it is indeed a problem. A big family tree has deep roots. After the country takes over, it can govern the people for the country to a certain extent, and at the same time, it can restore the people's production as soon as possible. This cannot be denied, but compared with the main contradiction, the secondary contradiction can Just solve it, it’s not as important as the main contradiction.”

"And the example of Jiannan has shown that without big families, the people can still be peaceful. They are exactly the source of chaos. I don't want the rear to be on fire when fighting other countries."

After finishing his explanation, Zhuang Xun glanced at Li Rusi next to him. It was because of these civil and military officials and generals that he felt that the aristocratic family was dispensable.

He has trump cards, so he is confident, and because he has a talented woman and wife that he can trust, he is not greedy for talents from big families.

It's not that he's greedy, he's not the boss of his hometown gang when it comes to talents, he still cherishes them very much. The more loyal and dedicated people the better, but he's just clear that he's already an enemy, and he won't show mercy if the other party surrenders without understanding.Wei Tu Pheasant and other Xingjun all nodded in agreement with Zhuang Xun's statement. Originally, these heavenly people were also dissatisfied with the family, and Zhuang Xun's speech in Zhao State could attract their attention.

Otherwise, it would be true that Bi Yuewu could win over a few Xingjun with his kindness, but if he couldn't get the seven of them to come together, he would have to have Zhuang Xun come up with something. No matter whether it was fake or real, he had to convince these people.

"Your Majesty, I understand. Please let other Star Lords speak."

Wei Tuji clasped his hands, stepped aside, and looked at the leading man.

The man was tall and strong, with an upright and courageous face. He stood up, held up his hands and asked Zhuang: "Kui Mulang, may I ask how your Majesty should deal with the State of Zhao since he wants to strive for supremacy in the world?"

"I don't know!" Zhuang Xun said simply.

Bi Yuewu's face changed greatly, his eyes rolled, and he signaled to Zhuang Xun. Seeing that Zhuang Xun didn't understand what he meant, he made small movements to signal Li Li Rusi and He Tan to tell Zhuang Xun to pay attention.

"I don't want to hide it from the Star Lord Immortals. I have no confidence in dealing with Zhao Guo." Zhuang Xun took a deep breath and looked at the immortals present. He used the title of emperor to show that he was serious and responsible in his words.

He didn't want to lie. If he had it, he would have it. If he didn't, he would not have it. Moreover, he had no plan to deal with the Zhao State. He could only do what Prime Minister Zhuge said during his three visits to the thatched cottage, waiting for the world to change. If the world did not change, there would be nothing he could do.

"Then why doesn't Your Majesty enjoy peace and happiness in the Kingdom of Zhao? The only request from the Kingdom of Zhao is that your Majesty maintain the Kingdom of Xia well, isn't it?"

Kui Mulang was not angry, but instead asked Zhuang Xun curiously. It was indeed a bit unexpected that Zhuang Xun had no intention of winning against Zhao State. He had already offended Zhao State to this extent.

"Because I want to fight for a chance of life and fight for a chance of life for the people of the world, I can enjoy myself in the Kingdom of Zhao. I can watch the graceful dances every day, have endless delicacies to eat, and have endless fun. But what about the people? Jinyang City Besides, the people are not fully clothed and have no food to eat, and I feel uneasy about my conscience."

When Zhuang Xun said this, he felt that the powerful people in Zhao State were not human, or that the powerful people in the world were not human, and his tone gradually became firmer.

"I have this opportunity and the ability to let them live a better life, with food and clothes. The king is the head of the country and the people are his subjects. How can any parent be willing to see their children without clothes? , there is no food to eat.”

"Even if this chance is small, dear Star Lords, the State of Zhao is very powerful. I saw the heavy cavalry of black armor, and I saw the dragon clan traveling in the rain. The food of Zhao State is twice that of the entire Jizhou, and the number of talents in Zhao State is huge. It can be transported to the outside world, and the crafts of the Zhao State are even more exquisite, and the weapons are even more powerful. If you star kings expect me to defeat the Zhao State, then I am afraid you will be disappointed, because I have never thought about how to defeat the Zhao State."

Zhuang Xun didn't take into account Bi Yuewu's desperate wink. He didn't want to trick others and try to trick others. He couldn't do it, and he was not a bandit from Liangshanbo.

"I also want to seize this opportunity. Jiannan has been realized. The people have enough food and clothing. I want the people of Jizhou and even the people of the world to do the same, so I want to resist Zhao. I don't know if I can succeed because the national power is hugely different. , but I know that if I don’t make this attempt, I will definitely wait for the country’s destruction, and the people may not even be able to get a lifetime of governance, so I am determined to hit the south wall.”

This is Zhuang Xun's belief. To feel the mission, he has to do it, and no one else can. Only he can resolutely resist the politics of the aristocratic family, because the world is influenced by the aristocratic family. He is not as clear-minded and determined as he is.

"Dear Lords of the Stars, thank you for helping me make this snow fall and blocking Cheng Guo's possible attack. I may have disappointed you. I don't know what Bi Yueqian said to you or what he promised, but for me, I There is no way to make any guarantee to you. I can only promise that I will work hard to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing."

After Zhuang Xun finished speaking, he glanced at Bi Yuewu apologetically. He might have wasted Bi Yuewu's efforts. He had changed his view of Bi Yuewu, but now he suddenly felt that he was a little too much towards Bi Yuewu before.

"So if you are not satisfied, you should find another job. The chance of winning against Zhao may be only [-]%. I am the only one who wants to block the car with my life, just for my own simple compassion."

Zhuang Xun simply said that anyway, he had already made it very clear that this might be a losing business and he did not recommend these immortals to invest.

"Your Majesty thinks there is no way to defeat Zhao." Kui Mulang frowned after hearing Zhuang Xun's frank words.

"I've said it all, first of all, food, then the weapons of the army, and all kinds of talents. With the help of various gods, Zhao State's national strength is much better than that of Jizhou, which is in tatters due to frequent wars. Forget it, I can't even think of Jizhou now. Without unity, even dealing with Li Pingyuan will take a lot of effort."

Zhuang Xun sighed and said again without hesitation, envy is quite envious, the advantage is huge, he just wants to use an egg to hit a stone.

Thinking of the current situation, if you still fight against Zhao State and unify Jizhou, you have to be careful. You may accidentally overturn. If you fight against Zhao State, you have to unify Jizhou after that.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. Weapons are not good, but I can solve it. The important thing is to see your Majesty's determination."

Kuimulang smiled and bowed to report: "I am not talented. I am in charge of the human arsenal of weapons, armor, spears, ditches and ponds, and the department of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Although I cannot get armor for your majesty, I can make the style." If you have heard about it, please ask a skilled craftsman to make it, and I can also pray for wind and rain for Your Majesty."

"Huh?" Zhuang Xun was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and was happy when he heard this.

"I am a member of the Water Ape, in charge of the human general's task of weighing territory, killing enemies, and robbing those who are angry."

"Chen Lou Jingou: in charge of the human palaces, temples, forbidden gardens, inner courtyards, provision of sacrifices, and the affairs of the suburbs."

"Chen Wei Tu Pheasant: The department in charge of human warehouses, where gold, silver, treasures, silk, and grains are collected.

"I am the Pleiades Sun Chicken: I am in charge of making the world clear and bright, eliminating decay and misfortune, jailing officials, punishing prisoners, and conducting examinations."

"The Fire Monkey is in charge of controlling all things in the world, wind, thunder and rain, mountains, rivers, houses and temples, and the department of ghosts and monsters."

Following the statement of Kui Mulang, the head of the Western Qisu, several people came out of their seats and introduced their priesthood to Zhuang Xun.

The 28 constellations are related to solar terms, so they can affect the climate to some extent, so it can snow. This is also considered their scope of function. The seven constellations in the West correspond to the autumnal equinox to the beginning of winter.

"Everyone, please get up quickly." Zhuang Xun was a little moved. Now he was on the boat, and he was a member of the same boat.

"If you are a skilled craftsman, I have a friend, Xinyue Fox from Dongfang Qisu, who is skilled in craftsmanship. Your Majesty is concerned about military preparations."

Before returning to his seat, Stomach Pheasant said again.
