Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 252 On the Main Contradiction between South Korea and China

Liu Chan, who returned to the palace, was not treated coldly by Old Liu again this time.

After all, this time it wasn't a sneak escape, it wasn't an accident, it was the first time that his son was officially in charge.

The soldiers were busy working all the way, and Lao Liu ordered the other generals to rest separately. The official awards, appointments and celebrations are scheduled for tomorrow.

But Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang followed Lao Liu back to the palace first.

"Hehehe, my son and the military adviser have worked hard all the way, and I have prepared a banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for you."

Old Liu smiled brightly.

Liu Chan was terrified.

He looked at Lao Liu's hand holding his arm in horror, and then looked at the smile on his face like a kind old father.

At this moment, Liu Chan thought of a terrifying possibility. Could it be that Lao Liu was also taken away by the traverser?
"Father, my son has a few questions to ask you, please think carefully before answering." Liu Chan said seriously.

Although Lao Liu was puzzled, he still smiled and said, "It's okay to ask."

"Is the father crying or angry?" Liu Chan stared at Lao Liu's expression seriously, trying not to let go of every detail.

Old Liu frowned: "How can a real man cry?"

"When the governor was whipped, was it his father or his third uncle who whipped him?"

After many years, Lao Liu still couldn't express his anger when he mentioned this matter: "That man deliberately made things difficult, shouldn't he be beaten? If he beats him, he can beat him. Why do he have to pretend to be someone else!"

Liu Chan took a deep breath and asked the last question: "After Uncle Zhao rescued the child, did you ever fall on me?"

Old Liu was stunned, and looked at the idiot's expression: "Zilong spared his life, and rescued you from a thousand troops, why should I throw you?"

Only then did Liu Chan heave a sigh of relief, his answer and expression were correct, it was his own father who was right.

"Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden?" Old Liu asked puzzled.

"Isn't this afraid that you will also be time-traveled..."

Liu Chan changed the subject without changing his face: "I just remembered it by accident. By the way, father, I am going to Nanzhong now, and my child still has a lot of things to report..."

Seeing through everything, Zhuge Liang watched the interaction between the father and son with a smile. This was one of the reasons why he chose to leave the mountain. Liu Bei was very humane no matter how he treated his brothers, sons, subordinates, and even the common people.

Thankfully, so is his successor.

……

The three of them sat down and Lao Liu asked about some details that were not revealed in the battle report.

Liu Chan answered one by one, and Zhuge Liang added in due course.

"The method of repelling snakes, the elephant soldiers charging into the formation, may be used by me?" Old Liu's eyes lit up.

It's a pity that Liu Chan shook his head: "Those snakes can't stand the northern climate, so it's useless for the Northern Expedition. As for the elephant soldiers, their shortcomings and advantages are obvious. Cao Wei has no shortage of wise men, and he can definitely think of a way to crack it."

Lao Liu was obviously disappointed.

But Liu Chan smiled again: "But it is perfect as a mobile high platform for watching the enemy's raid. If each army is equipped with one head, it will be like adding wings to a tiger when commanding the battle formation and dispatching troops."

Old Liu's drooping brows raised again.

Later, Liu Chan talked about the wealth of the Yong family.

"Hmph, you should be killed! The Yong family has been favored by the emperor, but they don't want to serve the country when they are so rich, what good is it to keep?"

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Half of his family wealth has been taken and distributed to the government offices of Nanzhong counties for the use of farming and mulberry in various places. Even so, the amount brought back is not a small amount, which can supplement the needs of development."

Now the commander-in-chief of the various armies of Old Liu is imitating Liu Chan in carrying out military reforms. Although it is not as crazy as Liu Chan's play, due to the large base, the cost has naturally begun to rise rapidly.

The weapons supervised by Pu Yuan have been upgraded to a new level, and the weapons he personally built have become the treasures of senior generals.

Liu Bei, who admired this quite a lot, also gave him an official position as Captain Sijin, who served under General Zhang Yi of Sijin Zhonglang. He was in charge of smelting steel and making weapons to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

These are large sums of money, and with the previous battles, Lao Liu's treasury quickly collapsed.

Even if it is half of Yong Kai's family wealth, I am afraid it will not last long if it is built like this, but at least it can ease the increasingly stinky faces of Fazheng, Liu Ba and others...

Lao Liu was moved by his son's integrity: "My son is dedicated to serving the public, I am so relieved!"

Then you have a good impression? !It's almost full at 2 o'clock. Why is it so difficult?
Liu Chan secretly complained in his heart that he really looked down upon Yong Kai's family wealth.

He earns money to win battles, and loses everything if he loses. There is no reason to put the cart before the horse.

After talking about the disposal of several Nanzhong families, I naturally talked about the changes in Nanzhong's farming and mulberry, economy, zoning, personnel and other aspects.

Old Liu smiled happily and was full of praise. No matter whose idea these came from, his son was able to handle Nanzhong affairs in an orderly manner with the help of Zhuge Liang, which made him feel relieved and relieved.

A good monarch doesn't have to be good at everything, but he must be able to accept good words. Judging from Nanzhong's arrangement, his son has done quite well.

but……

"Why implement the 'ladder tax' system?" Old Liu frowned and said, "The conflict between Han and Yi in South China has been going on for a long time, and we still have to rely on the Han family to rule the barbarians with Han.

"In this way, wouldn't it weaken those Han families in the long run? Weakening the big families in the areas we can control will prevent them from becoming too big. However, in the remote areas of southern China, we should provide support."

Liu Chan was not in a hurry to explain, but asked a question first: "Do you think, father, that the long-term chaos in South China is rooted in the conflict between Han and Yi?"

Old Liu frowned, realizing that things were not that simple.

The son asked this question, obviously there is something else to say, but...

"Is not it?"

The conflict between Han and Yi in the Southwest has lasted for hundreds of years, returning and rebelling, rebelling and returning, Lao Liu doesn't think there is any other explanation.

"Yes, but not exactly." Liu Chan smiled.

Seeing that Lao Liu, who had been whetted by himself, was a little inclined to resort to the "eighteen styles of copying shoes", Liu Chan hurriedly continued.

"The contradiction between Han and Yi is indeed a concrete manifestation of the main contradiction in Nanzhong at this time, but the root cause of it is class contradiction."

Old Liu frowned and said, "Tell me."

"Nanzhong's powerful and powerful families want to maintain a luxurious life, so they naturally want to squeeze the people. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Over time, people's grievances will naturally arise. To prevent people from rioting, the best way is to find an outlet for people's grievances."

Liu Chan smiled: "Father, don't you think that the conflict between Han and Yi is very suitable to divert the hatred of the people?"

Old Liu was thoughtful, but didn't speak for a while.

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up.

[Zhuge Liang favorability +1] (96)

"The people live in poverty. The Han nobles accuse the Yi people of causing chaos, and the Yi leaders accuse the Han people of being cunning, but they never mention their oppression of the people." Liu Chan said with a sneer, "When the people's resentment cannot be suppressed, they start a fight.

"Those who win will expand their power, and those who lose will bow their heads and pay tribute. But no matter whether they win or lose, most of the casualties are the lives of the common people. After the war, the powerful are still well-dressed and well-fed, and the common people are still living their own miserable days."

Lao Liu gradually understood, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Liu Chan stood up, paced and continued: "When there is a bad harvest in a disaster year, the internal conflicts cannot be suppressed, so we can point the finger at the court and start a rebellion like this time.

"There is no disaster and a good harvest. The dignitaries in Nanzhong may also incite the people to rebel for their own selfish desires, and then use the excuse of resisting the government and army to enrich themselves. But the people and the court officers and soldiers are required to die for them. Why?"

Liu Chan became excited as he spoke, but he didn't notice that old Liu's brows were stretched, and his eyes were shining when he looked at him.

After calming down, he finally said: "If this method is implemented, the large households in Nanzhong will not expand too much, cooperate with the policy of helping farmers and mulberry and other rich people, and supervise the implementation of local officials.

"After the people live and work in peace and contentment, they must be grateful for the kindness of their father and king. If they educate them again, they will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. In this way, the long-term stability of Nanzhong can be guaranteed."

[Liu Bei favorability +1] (99)

"Okay!" Liu Bei couldn't help shouting, "What a class conflict, hahaha! My son has a long-term vision, and one word can win a thousand words of a mediocre person. It is very comforting for my father."

Then you will increase your favorability by 1 point! !
