When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately became very interested.
First of all, Wen Rensheng praised him for his ambition, but also mentioned that troubled times were coming.
So he suppressed his contempt for the two men's size and immediately asked: "Where are the hometowns of these two warriors? And why do they say that troubled times are coming?"
At this time, Mr. Zhang has not yet launched an army to attack, nor will he kill people randomly without any reason.
In particular, he respects these people who can speak loudly. To put it bluntly, he respects scholars.
Besides, it's not a chaotic time yet.
The Yellow Turbans have not yet launched.
He can still listen to people.
Wen Rensheng said: "In recent times, there have been severe droughts for many years, the people are in dire straits, and the land has been annexed too much. In the past few days, I have seen my neighbors fleeing in all directions."
"Above the court, the relatives and eunuchs are fighting endlessly, the government affairs are in chaos, and there is no intention to provide disaster relief."
"It won't take long, as long as someone with a heart climbs up and shouts, the world will be in chaos."
"Sir, you are a great talent, please come in quickly." Zhang Fei heard this and realized that this is the reason. The people below cannot survive, and the people above are busy fighting. They don't care about life or death. Is it possible not to rebel?
Moreover, Zhang Fei was born with the gene of rebellion. In the novel, he is the one who said that rebellion is a good thing and corrupt officials like Superintendent Post should be killed!
Of course Wen Rensheng knew that the biggest disaster was actually the gentry and aristocratic families.
The other thing is that the landlords are powerful.
They annexed land and did not fully consume it. They piled up a large amount of wealth, mainly grain and cloth, in granaries and cellars to rot, and did not circulate in the market. As a result, a large number of laborers in agricultural societies were unable to sell their hard work to survive.
.
That can only lead to rebellion.
If the market economy is developed, landless farmers can survive by selling their labor force.
In fact, there was a glimmer of hope for a solution in the Southern Song Dynasty.
They are very urbanized and can absorb a large number of landless farmers. They also have a large amount of foreign trade and rely on the Ministry of Transport to collect taxes.
Of course, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty also lived a miserable life, mainly because they had to bear a large amount of military expenses to resist the invasion from the north.
Drowning children had become a trend at that time.
I can’t raise a child after giving birth.
But the Southern Song Dynasty finally fell because of the Mongol and Yuan attacks, not the peasant uprising.
It was because the Southern Song Dynasty encountered the commercial economy in its ignorance and began to develop a large number of commercial economies.
Unfortunately, after the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the commercial economy was banned again, and then completely banned in the Qing Dynasty. As a result, landless farmers could never find a way to sell their labor in this circle and struggle to survive.
There is only one way to go: self-destruction.
The real and complete solution to this problem is that after joining the world cycle, ordinary people can be lucky enough to be used as consumables, or unfortunately, they can at least sell their labor force to survive.
Wen Rensheng could see it so clearly, so he naturally had a strategy in mind.
At this time, Zhang Fei was a powerful landlord, and he certainly would not blame the powerful family for the troubled times.
He just lowered his level to that of the current middle- and upper-class scholars and targeted the so-called eunuchs and relatives.
The basic plates of these two are relatively small and their impact area is not wide.
In fact, eradicating them will not help.
Is it okay if the nobles come to power?
It's impossible. It's because the rise of the nobles will cause various problems, so the emperor promoted them to balance them.
But Zhang Fei didn't think so deeply at all. He only knew that these two young men, who were similar to farmers, had as much knowledge as the county sergeants, so naturally they couldn't miss it.
Soon the three of them entered the manor, and Zhang Fei arranged a banquet in person.
Of course Zhao Er was dazzled. All kinds of good food, wine and food that he couldn't eat on ordinary days made his mouth water.
It doesn't matter if someone gets promoted.
When the two were compared, Zhang Fei immediately gave Wen Rensheng a thumbs up.
He is indeed a great talent living in seclusion in the countryside.
I never thought that I, Zhang Fei, could make friends with such a person.
Finally, we are no longer those ranger brothers who hang out eating and drinking.
Then the three exchanged names and addresses, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Wen Rensheng said something more, working hard in the fields, just to survive in troubled times, not to hear the nonsense of the princes, and once again to improve his status.
This is bullshit to those scholars with family backgrounds.
The other party will look at your background first, and then whether you have a reputation in the past:
"When you are four years old, you will be given a pear, you will lie on the ice to beg a carp, you will bury your child to serve your mother..." and so on.
If he has neither, if he is willing to look at you one more time, he loses.
Only Zhang Fei, a country rich man who was eager to change his social status, could continue to talk with Wen Rensheng.
Only then could Wen Rensheng be allowed to pretend in front of him.
In fact, Wen Rensheng still had a choice, which was to go into the mountains to cultivate land. There was Changshan Mountain nearby.
Even if you find a secluded mountain gangster, you can get through the whole troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
The problem is that in the mountains and forests, if you get sick, you will lack clothing and medicine, which will be troublesome.
Of course, Wen Rensheng himself knew a lot of medical skills and knew a lot of herbal medicines.
This is not something to be afraid of.
Mainly because I cried too much in the mountains.
He didn't come to the Three Kingdoms to endure hardship.
It is about exploring the nature of the world.
After a heart-warming conversation, Zhang Fei said: "You two great talents, please stay in my manor. Nothing else. You will have enough food and wine every day. You will also be given some fine clothes and a beautiful maidservant to serve you."
Zhang Fei is also a human spirit. He usually makes friends with heroes by drinking, eating, and having three beauties...
A three-pronged approach, only one out of ten heroes will be able to resist this approach.
"That's easy to say, so thank you, Mr. Zhang." Wen Rensheng looked blank.
Zhao Er was dumbfounded.
There is enough food and wine, and there are beautiful women to serve you? What kind of magical day is this?
Zhao Er admired his brother very much for a while.
Just a few words when I came in, and a little bit of cheating, and in exchange for free food and drink every day...
In comparison, he used to work every day, which is really a stupid word.
Naturally, he didn't know how valuable these insights were.
Without these insights, you can only spend your life digging in the dirt and serving as other people's consumables.
Little did he know that if he wanted to say the same thing as Wen Rensheng, he would have to study for at least ten or twenty years and then travel to Luoyang and Chang'an for three years to have such a foundation.
At this time, there are no more than two or three thousand scholars in the world who can speak such a medium-level language.
Think about it, one of these two or three thousand people came to seek refuge in Zhang Fei's manor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Can Zhang Fei be so unhappy that he dies?
Does he still lack this food?
What does this mean?
He is now in a critical period from a local wealthy landowner to a noble family.
He just lacks a springboard and insight.
Wenrensheng happened to meet his needs, so he was naturally willing to pay.
Later, Wen Rensheng and Zhao Er settled down in Zhangjia Manor.
Two days later, Wen Rensheng asked Zhao Er to invite his whole family, as well as the entire Zhao family in the village, to live at Zhang's house.
Zhang Fei naturally welcomed him with both hands.
After two days, he had gained a lot of insights from Wen Rensheng.
Every day, he is looking forward to the coming of troubled times, so that he can make great achievements and be promoted to a higher position.
These days, fighting wars relies on clan blood.
I hope that some beliefs can unite some people, but the core power is based on blood feudalism.
It was only when the imperial examination became popular that a new governance system could be established based on etiquette, law and civil servants.
As for Zhang Fei, there is nothing else but boldness.
The banker wants the whole family to come over to him, how could he refuse just because the other party eats too much?
impossible.
After all, according to the setting of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his bold character will not change. He is bold and does not care about money.
You must know that he met Liu Bei once, listened to his introduction to the current situation, knew that the future would be troubled times, and could immediately obtain fame, so he donated all his family property to Liu Bei's army.
According to Wen Rensheng's estimate, Zhang Fei's total wealth must be in the tens of millions.
After all, 300 men and horses were recruited, and there were six troops in total.
According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, war soldiers (soldiers who kill the enemy on the front line) can receive 900 coins a month, and miscellaneous soldiers can receive 600 coins a month.
So for 300 people, the monthly military salary would be 270,000 yuan.
If these soldiers can't afford to raise money for a year without tens of millions of dollars, then why raise funds?
You must know that in addition to military pay, we also need to reserve grain, grass, and ordnance. This is the big deal.
In comparison, Guan Yu is a fugitive murderer, Liu Bei is just a street vendor selling straw sandals, and Zhang Fei is the richest among the three.
Just because Liu Bei could see the general trend clearly and had a better status and background, Zhang Fei spent all his family wealth and followed Liu Bei.
Wen Rensheng could tell at a glance what Zhang Fei was thinking.
What he pursues is a change in social status.
He is now a local tycoon. He has no way to pass the examination for filial piety and integrity, nor can he take the imperial examination.
Even though Ling Emperor Liu Hong is now on the throne and can buy an official position, he has no way to buy an official position.
According to the price list for selling officials and titles set by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, an official position at the county level with an annual income of two thousand dan usually costs 20 million yuan.
Of course, we cannot directly address him as Ling Emperor now. This is a title that can only be given after death.
They can only be called "Emperor, Your Majesty, Your Majesty" or something like that.
With Zhang Fei's family property, he should be able to buy a high-ranking official below the county governor level even if he loses everything.
The problem is that even if a rich man like Zhang Fei wants to buy, no one will sell him. Even if you want to buy an official position, you must be a member of the noble clan yourself.
Of course, if the money is available, it is not impossible to accommodate.
The problem is that Zhang Fei is also a bit of a germaphobe and looks down on corrupt officials, so it is impossible for him to agree to buy an official position and would rather start his career through military service.
In fact, the correct way out for Liu Bei is to gain military merit on the one hand, seize more on the other, and then buy an official position.
It's just that the reputation is bad.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to do this.
Of course, these are all settings of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What happened in real history, the details are unknown.
Scholars are hypocritical. On the one hand, they strive to buy officials for their clan, but on the other hand, they look down on those who buy officials.
The whole thing is schizophrenia.
In the following days, Wen Rensheng brought his entire family to Zhang Fei Manor, eating and drinking.
Of course, he must also reflect his true value.
Otherwise, Zhang Fei wouldn't care about it, but his steward and clan members would.
Wen Rensheng then took a casual look at Zhang Fei's fields and put forward some suggestions to increase production so that the grain would grow better.
Zhang Fei's family's land has water channels, which is much better than the Zhao family's land.
A severe drought will not affect it either.
I looked at the Zhang family's pig farm again. I couldn't just rely on other people's pigs for slaughtering. That would be unstable. I still had to have my own pig farm.
Finally, we took a look at the wine-making place.
In short, after a few suggestions, if Zhang Fei were in the Anping era, it would not be a problem to increase his family property seven to eight times.
After accepting these suggestions and seeing the results, Zhang Fei regarded Wen Rensheng as a genius of the world.
Just bragging will soon be broken. If you can promote production and open up more ways to make money, then you are a great person.
Guanzi is still quite awesome these days.
Zhuge Liang compared himself to Guan Zhong, which shows that he was not very discriminatory towards businessmen.
Mi Zhu was a big businessman and could also be an official, but his status was not high.
After using some tricks, Wen Rensheng began to talk to Zhang Fei about the next step.
Recruit troops and buy horses.
First, a troop of 50 people was recruited.
Avoid being too burdened.
In the novel, it is not advisable to scatter all the family property immediately.
How to maintain troops for a long time without a stable base?
It hung up immediately.
Liu Bei had no base in the early stage and wandered around. As a result, he was beaten everywhere, and the beating was miserable.
The lost time was lost at this time.
By the time Zhuge was captured, the north would be pacified and the south would be semi-pacified, leaving little room for maneuver.
It was not easy for Zhuge Liang to dig out half of Jingzhou and half of Xichuan.
However, two eyes, and one missing, there is no chance at all.
Wen Rensheng then used the 50 Xiangyong recruited for training.
Naturally, he has many training methods.
First of all, we must ensure that everyone eats well, drinks well, and has balanced nutrition.
Then train the team formation and combat skills.
His training method is Qi Jiguang's method.
With a history of five thousand years, Qi Jiguang was the only one who wrote down how to train and how to fight according to the strategy in every detail.
What the time traveler has to do is provide adequate logistics.
Then just practice according to the opponent's method.
Various terrains have been considered for you, how to fight in the south and how to fight in the north.
How to fight the prairie cavalry and how to deal with the stragglers.
Soldiers are more valuable than their elite.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Your arms must use a variety of weapons, and soldiers must have enough weapons.
Otherwise, it will be too easy to be targeted.
It's ridiculous to want to conquer the world with a spear. Do you think they don't have throwing axes or throwing spears?
As long as someone hits you with a long-range weapon, your spear formation will not be able to withstand it for half a quarter of an hour, and you will collapse.
Weapons need to be complicated, including spears and sword players.
There are also those who hold large shields with both hands.
It is used to hold down the position, protect the soldiers, and advance slowly.
Prevent chaos and enemy onslaught.
Qi Jiguang was in the south. In order to adapt to the various hilly areas and miscellaneous terrain and adapt to local conditions, Qi Jiguang mostly used small teams to attack and defend, which facilitated rapid deployment.
A team of 11 people forms a mandarin duck formation, using various weapons, including protection, obstruction, output, and treatment. It is simply a replica of the kingly method in modern games.
Integrity, orderly advance and retreat, very suitable for fighting in narrow terrain.
Therefore, in many battles, our own casualties were often in the single digits, while the Japanese suffered hundreds or even thousands of casualties.
It seems that it is a lie, but the fact is that it is like this. A high degree of training and strong organizational power, as well as sufficient military pay, high morale, targeted tactics, and effective weapons have achieved such a jaw-dropping combat efficiency.
.
A famous general is a famous general who knows how to adapt to local conditions.
In the north, this formation is not the case.
The north is the Great Plains, where cavalry lines the terrain. The cavalry is king and has the tactical initiative.
This kind of small team was no longer good, so Qi Jiguang improved and optimized the car camp tactics and repeatedly defeated the Mongolian cavalry invasion.
The background of the famous general is shown here. He was able to defeat the most threatening Mongolian cavalry, which shows that Qi Jiguang is well-deserved.
It's a pity that it ended badly.
Form an formation with chariots, with firearms and crossbows placed in the middle for long-range attacks, thereby defeating the enemy's cavalry.
