Liu Yu sighed softly: "I remember that when you were young, you were also thinking about making great achievements, expedition to the Central Plains, and expelling the barbarians. But I don't understand why today, we all have the right to have soldiers and really have the ability to do something.
When you were unable to do such a thing, you became passive and opposed the Northern Expedition?"
Xu Xianzhi said calmly: "How did you know how complicated this was when you were a teenager? Did you know before that there was an organization like the Mafia that was dedicated to causing trouble behind the scenes? Now we are all middle-aged and have experienced so many things.
I have no interest in this kind of intrigues and interests. When I was young, I wanted to go to the Central Plains to pacify the Hulu. It was just because the Han people in the north were suffering. We could hear many tragic past events at the ferry every day, so we wanted to save them.
They are just northern Han people in dire straits."
"But as we have traveled all the way over the years, we have discovered that the southern Han people in the Jin Dynasty may not be as good as their northern compatriots. At least they can live and work in peace and contentment as long as they cultivate land and pay taxes to the Hu people. On the contrary, we have
There are so many careerists who keep stirring up trouble. When is it not bringing trouble to the world, and when is it not the common people who suffer the hardships?! In the past, what I thought about was to make contributions and honor the ancestors, so that in addition to the glory of the family, I can also benefit all the people, so
At that time, when you asked me to monitor the Wu region and detect the movements of Tianshi Dao, I agreed immediately, and within a few years, I also established my own intelligence organization, thinking that everything was under control, but what happened?!"
Liu Yu's mouth twitched slightly: "Until that time, we didn't know how terrible these dark forces hidden underground are. I'm sorry, Xianzhi, your family is unfortunate, I need to take some responsibility."
Xu Xianzhi turned his head, gently wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves, calmed down, and continued: "Jinnu, it's not your fault. What I mean is, if you rashly want to break the centuries-old tradition in the world,
Balance, if you want the world to act according to your own wishes, you will inevitably sacrifice and lose the existing interests of many people. Although the chaos of Tianshi Dao has the shadow of the mafia behind it, the root cause is Sima Daozi and Sima Yuan
Xian wanted to change the rules that had been in place for many years so that the imperial court could really have an army that it could mobilize. So their final idea was to kill the Tianshi Dao in Wu. It was just a dog-eat-dog war. In the end, this
This great chaos not only destroyed Sima Yuanxian and his son, severely damaged Tianshi Dao, but also smashed the land of Wu, which the noble family had always reserved for themselves, to pieces. In this war, there was no winner, only countless corpses and ruins.
"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "We have all lost too much in this war that should not have happened. Now the world often says that I gained fame by defeating monsters and thieves. From then on, I rose through the ranks and rose up in the army step by step.
But I would rather use all my credit in exchange for being able to go back to before the chaos."
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "So remembering the past is to learn lessons. What you want to do now is what Sima Yuanxian did back then? For your own ideal of the Northern Expedition, you have to collect food and supplies from Wu again.
Immigrate to Jiangbei. In order to reduce the resistance of the noble families to your matter, you are now thinking of using Confucian scholars to enter official schools, educate the children of meritorious officials, and form a new force to replace the existing noble families. In order to be able to dominate the power and avoid the Northern Expedition
The risk of Shi Houlu is that the fight with Liu Yi, who is also passionate about power, has even led to the danger of splitting within the Jingba Party. Send slaves, send slaves, it’s not that your ideals should not be realized, but that you must consider the actual situation
, because your impulse will cause disaster all over the world."
Liu Yu suddenly laughed: "But when you persuaded me to advance just now, you also said that you need to go north to the Central Plains and make great achievements before you can take this step. Are you starting to contradict yourself now?"
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "I don't mean not to prevent you from the Northern Expedition, but I mean that you can't rush the Northern Expedition, at least now is not the right time. If you haven't straightened out your relationship with the family and Liu Yi, then you can't easily
Activate. And the root of all the problems now is that you are trying to sideline and replace the high-ranking family. This is very dangerous, and this is where I must remind you to stop you."
Liu Yu looked calmly in the direction of Jingkou City in the distance: "What do you mean, is it wrong for me to use Confucian scholars like Fan Tai to build a preface at Jingkou?"
Xu Xianzhi said seriously: "Yes, you are obviously looking for Confucian scholars to replace the high-ranking families. This is their foundation, just like when Sima Yuanxian wanted to build his own armed forces to replace the Beifu Army and Jingzhou Army. You don't have enough.
You can't do this before you have strength. Not only should you not build a monastery in Jingkou, but you should also try your best to let the Jingba brothers move to the capital as soon as possible, so that they can enjoy wealth and become like a noble family. That's the only way
, Only a high-ranking family will treat you as a similar person. Only then will they put down their guard and hostility."
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, the capital is too easy for people to fall. It's not that I don't let brothers enter the city, but that many people are not used to it. What Xile did last time, most of the industries in the city belong to the wealthy families.
Door, many middle and lower class Jingba brothers, people like Erzhuzi, have no property. If they go to the city and cannot make a living, it is better to guard the fields in Jingkou and maintain their simple and tenacious nature. Our Beifu Army will have successors in the future.
We also need Jingkou to continuously produce the best soldiers and warriors from all over the world."
Xu Xianzhi curled up his lips: "Then at least you can't let Brother Xing here. This example is too obvious. The high-ranking family will think that you don't care about wealth at all, and you are not one of them. Only if you are passionate about power and pursue wealth, they will
I want to be at peace with you and cooperate with you. Moreover, a Confucian family like the Fan family has been against metaphysics for generations. Fan Tai’s father, Fan Ning, once said that the founder of metaphysics, He Yan, Wang Bi and others were worse than Jie and Zhou, and were the great evildoers in the world.
.If you use Fan Tai, it means you have to go against the noble family. Therefore, let Xingdi go home and let Fan Tai go home too. In this way, you can temporarily make peace with the noble family. If you really want to be in Jingkou
To teach brothers how to read and calligraphy, you can find children from aristocratic families to do the job. As long as you are willing to openly seek talents, there will be many people who will come to follow you."
Liu Yu looked at Xu Xianzhi motionless: "Xianzhi, let me ask you a question, why do you think I started the preface?"
Xu Xianzhi was a little surprised, but he frowned and replied: "Let the nephew of the Jingba brothers study and practice mathematics, master the knowledge, and serve in the army in the future, right?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "These are all secondary. What I need most from the Confucian scholars is to let them understand what loyalty and filial piety are! What is family and country!"
