Chapter 268 Awakening
Liu Bei has never read "Xunzi", but Jian Yong has most likely read it.

Don't look at him as slovenly, but after arriving in Chang'an, he spends time in the library when he has free time.

"Xianhe, does Xunzi have this sentence?" Liu Bei found Jian Yong and asked him.

"There is such a sentence in "Xunzi Wang Xun", but the following sentence is missing. But to be honest, Da Dao saw it more clearly. Xunzi only talked about the relationship between the ruler and the people, but did not talk about the relationship between the ruler and the officials. The ruler is a boat , is the official a boatman?" Jian Yong was thoughtful.

"No, according to this logic, Zhou should be a country..." Ju Shou gave a different opinion, after all, he was also present.

"Then the king should be the captain." Jian Yong said with a smile, "Some people work hard to control the ship and try to keep it as stable as possible even if the waves are rough. Some people deliberately cause trouble and try their best to capsize the ship even if the water is stable. .”

"What are the backgrounds of the leading officials?" Liu Bei suddenly realized something.

Ju Shou didn't want to say it, but he had to answer truthfully. They were basically from local aristocratic families.

As expected, Liu Bei 'borrowed' their supplies to take care of the people during this period, which aroused their dissatisfaction.

"I borrowed it, but it's not like I won't pay it back!" Liu Bei complained immediately.

That is the business of other princes. When did he borrow something and not return it?
"Xuande, I feel that if I take refuge in you, I will not only get no benefits but also lose money. I feel unhappy!" Jian Yong said with a smile.

After all, Liu Bei only cared about taking care of the people, but those wealthy families forgot to give him any favors.

When someone takes refuge in you, it is considered to have handed in the vote certificate.

But you not only didn't give any sweetness, but also asked others to contribute money and effort, so naturally there were complaints in my heart.

"But Liangzhou and Guanzhong..." Liu Bei was a little puzzled.

"When we first went to Liangzhou, those wealthy families caused us a lot of trouble. Da Dao came forward to subdue them. Later, in Guanzhong, it was similar. Da Dao cleaned up the wealthy families first, and it was so easy for us to take over later. "Jian Yong shook his head.

Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that without Zhang He's foreshadowing, the wealthy families in the two places are not good men and women.

Let’s just say that the imperial examinations, the library, or even the Mongolian Academy, which one doesn’t touch their interests…

Zhang He used coercion and inducement, and then gave some of the benefits. Everyone was originally from aristocratic families, so if the benefits were exchanged, it would be almost the same.

Extra points will be given to the children of the aristocratic family, five points will be added to the wealthy family, and ten points will be added to the children of the aristocratic family.

Finally, I added a little provocation and asked those wealthy families:

Your children, even with extra points, can't compare to ordinary people who are self-taught?
I would be worried, but it was impossible to admit it, so things stabilized like this, and the imperial examination started smoothly.

In addition, the subsequent admissions were basically the children of aristocratic families, and no matter how poor they were, they were from poor families. Only those wealthy families in Liangzhou and Guanzhong were completely relieved.

At most, their children will suffer a little. After all, the pressure to study will increase in the future...

The specific increase depends on how much they want to roll.

Liu Bei was silent at the moment. He didn't expect that the smooth sailing since his administration was all the result of Zhang He's hard work.

Of course, that's not the case. After all, he knows many things and has participated in them.

However, Zhang He is the one who mainly plans and operates. He is aware of the situation and then helps in various ways.

Why did he do that, he didn't think about it, after all, the fifth brother wanted to do that, it's normal for the elder brother to cooperate.

The question is, why is he so proficient in doing these things?

Liu Bei thought for a while, maybe it was because of his wives?

Both Cai Yan and Fu Shou are daughters of aristocratic families, and they are familiar with aristocratic families, and Zou Yu is in charge of managing the industry...

So it turns out that everyone has become the king, so is it time to expand the harem?
This is the first time I know that wives and concubines can still have such a role.

I thought it was pure lust that the kid wanted so many wives and concubines in one go.

wrong!

At first, everyone thought that this might be one of Zhang He's few flaws, but now it seems that is not the case at all!
Such a perfect man, sometimes it's scary to think about it.If Zhang He were here, he would probably quibble... Let me explain:
No, no, it's really for collecting stamps, everything else is just by the way.

After all, you see, even without them, I can do these things myself, it's just not so easy.

That's the problem, even if you really say that, it depends on whether Liu Bei believes it or not, anyway, he doesn't believe anything now!

But it is estimated that Liu Bei really wants to expand the harem when he goes back this time... No, no!

"That is to say, we have to tame the nobles here before we can give favors to the common people?" Liu Bei felt that his train of thought was a bit misleading. Shouldn't we be discussing the powerful things here?

"No, it should be a kind of balance. How to let the local wealthy families get certain benefits when rescuing the people, or how to make promises to balance everything is very important." Ju Shou replied.

Liu Bei felt that he might as well focus on fighting.

After all, he knows how to fight, even if he is not particularly powerful, there are still so many excellent generals.

But in politics, from the sophistication of the world to the balance of various factions, there is actually a balance between the aristocratic family and the common people.

Suddenly, I feel that being in a high position is not necessarily a good thing...

No, did that guy Da Dao know this, that's why he refused to take the position?

Yue Pinyue felt that it was the same thing. After all, it didn't make sense that someone as outstanding and all-round as Zhang He didn't want to be emperor.

Now that it's done, he doesn't even want to be the emperor, but after thinking about it, he is a member of the Han family, so who should he be the emperor?

Why don't you go back and train Feng'er well, and when he is almost grown up, the throne will be handed over to him, and you can become the supreme emperor yourself.

Zhang He didn't even know that his letter made Liu Bei start thinking about retirement.

However, after knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Liu Bei began to balance:
What should be punished is still punished, and the punishment was changed severely, and the three families were directly wiped out by him because of collaborating with the enemy.

But at the same time as it was destroyed, it also exchanged benefits with other families, and after sending some benefits at the same time, many people's hearts were restored.

The local wealthy family saw that Liu Bei knew how to be a man. Although he was still in a bad mood, after all, he didn't give Cao Cao enough, but he could still accept it.

Mainly Cao Cao killed and gave way to others, and the subsequent massacre of the city made his reputation not much better.

"Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Prince Liang actually came to his senses..." Xi Zhicai looked at the report below, somewhat moved.

King Liang seems to know very well where the bottom line of the local aristocratic family is, and he is very skilled.

So why was it so clumsy in the first place?

It's like a saint who only sees the best side of the world and shows the best side of himself.

It's not so much childish as it is very unreal.

Of course Liu Bei is not that naive, he just doesn't want to see the people suffer.

As a person who can mingle with traffickers, footmen, and even rangers, everyone is a living life.

Sometimes it is true that impulsiveness takes the upper hand, but it is not stupid to calm down, and all work will proceed normally.

"But it's okay... There are still five days before winter, five days, is enough!" Xi Zhicai nodded.

Liu Bei's war equipment and some crossbow arrows were burned, and his long-range combat ability was suppressed, which is equivalent to the suppression of the siege ability.

Under such circumstances, the wild battle can be a 'fair' one.

So far, it was his plan, but Guo Jia came back, so naturally he had to make further calculations.
