Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 36

When it comes to the Hua family, one has to mention Tao Qiuhong, another famous official in Pingyuan County.

Tao Qiuhong's influence in Qingzhou is not small. Both Liu Dai and Liu Yao brothers were talents recommended by Tao Qiuhong to the governor of Qingzhou.

Compared with Xiaolian, Maocai has fewer places.

Liu Xiu once ordered: the three publics should each have one maocai, and the supervisory censor, sili, and state shepherd should each hold one maocai every year.

In the entire thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of talents in a year does not exceed 20!

At that time, Tao Qiuhong did not become an official, but he was able to recommend Liu Dai and Liu Yao as talents by the governor of Qingzhou, which shows his influence!
But it is a pity that after Tao Qiuhong went to Luoyang, he accidentally died in office.

This made Zheng Ping quite regretful.

With Tao Qiuhong's help, it would not be difficult to recommend a talented person to Liu Bei.

Although the most perfect expectation could not be achieved, You Huaji wrote to the gentry that the Hua family had befriended and asked him to make Liu Bei famous.

Can also achieve not shallow effect.

After Hua Ji left, Zhang Fei came from outside the door.

"Sir, how is my performance today?" Zhang Fei leaned sideways and looked close to Zheng Ping, begging for praise.

Palming Chen Ying's big ear scraper, Zhang Fei's palm was joyful and hearty.

How dare a mere tyrant be arrogant and rude?
Zheng Ping smiled lightly: "Yide's slap slapped the county magistrate 22 enemies."

"Ah?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had done something wrong, and became impatient.

Just as he was about to ask about the solution, Zhang Fei saw Zheng Ping's calm eyes again.

Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you're scaring me again!"

"If I really slapped out 22 enemies with one slap, how could my husband be so calm?"

Zheng Ping shook his fan elegantly, and there was a flash of scheming in his eyes: "Anyway, these powerful and wealthy businessmen will face the disaster of the yellow scarves."

"It doesn't matter if it's an enemy or not."

When dealing with friends, Zheng Ping does not hesitate to give each other a hand.

Zheng Ping didn't have the heart of a virgin when dealing with enemies.

Since they are not willing to cooperate with the strong wall and clear the country, it can only make this group of arrogant, powerful and wealthy businessmen suffer a little bit.

"Sir!" Zhang Fei rubbed his fists and lowered his voice: "Can I train the powerful and wealthy businessmen who are willing to attach themselves to their private soldiers?"

"I'm confident that I won't practice worse than my second brother!"

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Yide, it's not that I don't trust your military training ability, but that these private soldiers have to be trained by the county lord!"

"Brother?" Zhang Fei was taken aback: "Brother is busy with affairs, how can he have time to train soldiers?"

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Now Gaotang County has me in charge of government affairs, and the county officials don't have to worry about money, food, sundries, and have plenty of time."

"No matter how to turn the private soldiers of these powerful and wealthy businessmen into the private soldiers of the county lord, Yide, you are really not as good as the county lord!"

Zhang Fei was surprised when he heard this, and his eyes stared like bulls' eyes: "Sir, it is said that the hearts of literati are dirty, and this is too dirty! Aren't you afraid that those rich and powerful businessmen will have resentment?"

Zheng Ping shook his head again: "So, in terms of military training, Yide is not as good as the county lord."

"Even if these rich and powerful merchants hand over their private soldiers to the county lord, they will definitely appoint trusted clansmen to command the troops."

"As long as the county respects people with integrity and makes friends with these rich and powerful merchants, it is equivalent to tying the 28 powerful and wealthy merchants in Gaotang County to a rope."

"Their interests and the interests of the county lords are both prosperous, and both are harmed."

"How can you feel resentment?"

Zhang Fei opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

a long time.

Zhang Fei was dejected: "So, I am still not qualified to train soldiers! Sir, you are so partial!"

In a short period of time, Zheng Ping will not let Zhang Fei train soldiers.

Guan Yu loves soldiers like a son and is good at sharing joys and sorrows with soldiers, so he can be respected by soldiers.

Liu Bei treats people with sincerity, even if he is a soldier, he will ask for his health, and he will be loved by the soldiers.

Zhang Fei...

At that time, the soldiers were whipped from time to time, and the soldiers who were whipped were regarded as cronies, a way of training soldiers that "bring out elite soldiers under the stick".

It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, but it must not be suitable for the current situation.

Zheng Ping successfully divided the powerful and wealthy merchants in Gaotang County, and Liu Bei got the support of 28 merchants.

At this time, it is time for Liu Bei to display his personality charm!
Not only should these private soldiers be grateful to Liu Bei, but also the commanders of these private soldiers, the sons of powerful and wealthy businessmen, should also be grateful to Liu Bei and willing to die.

Only in this way can Liu Bei have enough money, food and troops to conquer the Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County.

The powerful and wealthy merchants who did not support Liu Bei have already been abandoned by Zheng Ping.

These families will more or less die at the hands of the Yellow Turbans.

Even if there is a fluke, I hope Liu Bei can send troops to rescue, then you have to pay enough sincerity.

Zhang Fei said that Zheng Ping had a heart, which Zheng Ping did not deny.

In the whole world, is there any counselor who doesn't have a heart?

Hu Zhao's work efficiency is very fast.

In less than half a day, the fields, tenants, servants, diners, private soldiers, cattle and sheep, horses, weapons, armor and other resources of 28 families have been registered.

And the result of this registration is also surprising.

There are 800 private soldiers who can be transferred!
And there are one hundred war horses that can be used for battle!

Not only that, these 28 families also took the initiative to move part of the grain from their respective family granaries to the city.

According to statistics, there are as many as [-] shi of grain.

This can feed [-] young adults for three months!

As the saying goes, the poor have no place to stand, and the rich have hope.

"If these people can distribute all the food, why would they allow the Yellow Turbans to plunder!"

Liu Bei, who returned to the city, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the counted food.

But Liu Bei also knew that this was just a naive idea.

It is better to kill the rich than to let the rich distribute the food.

The last Wang Mang who wanted to restore the well field system was opposed by the world's powerful.

Even Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, could only curb the development of tyranny, but not completely eradicate it.

Liu Bei's idea is too idealistic.

Zheng Ping waved his fan and restrained his face: "Xianzun, there is a gap between rich and poor in the world, and absolute fairness does not exist."

"Seeking fairness will only be buried in the torrent of the times."

"Although wealth and wealth are sought in danger, they are also lost in danger. When one seeks one out of ten, one loses nine out of ten."

"When a real man acts, he should abandon the idea of ​​luck, and he must take hundreds of things to make steel, and accumulate a lot of merit, and then he will be a blockbuster."

Liu Bei sighed softly: "I also know that there is no absolute fairness in this world, but if the people of this world can die well when they are old, be useful when they are strong, have good strengths when young, widows, widows, lonely and sick, all can be cared for. I am also satisfied!"

Zheng Ping admired it in his heart.

Although this statement comes from the "Book of Rites", not everyone agrees with this idea.

And those who agree with this concept in the world are all real men!
And only such a man is worthy of Zheng Ping's help.
