Chapter 367

When a political philosophy theory is good for a camp, the ruler uses it and cannot prove that he truly believes in it.

Just like in history, Germans and Americans did not mention protecting intellectual property rights at the beginning, nor did they believe in the bullshit Adam and Smith free market. Instead, they said they didn’t, they were honest in their bodies, and obediently implemented Liszt’s theory of childish industry protection.

Who made them a latecomer country? They had to copy others first, have a large scale, and become the leader in international trade, and then talk about intellectual property rights and free markets.

In the eyes of utilitarian rulers, philosophers are just a bunch of tool dogs that they throw away after they finish the weed.

Faith must be a set of theories that are obviously not good for you yet, or even good for your imaginary enemy, and that is what you still insist on.

At the end of May of the first year of Xingping, Liu Bei's ethics of "persisting in disasters and strange things has nothing to do with the loss of morality of the ruler, insisting on facing disasters and strange things with an active attitude of resisting disasters and conquering nature" in this series of actions to fight against natural disasters, which has really had a profound impact on future generations.

For the first time, internal bureaucrats, the people, and even the emperors hiding in Hongnong and other princes in the outer town saw that Liu Bei and Li Su were principled people.

Li Su not only refuted the "resonance of heaven and man" in his usual crazily, but also refuted the response of heaven and man when "the theory of heaven and man is now clearly beneficial to Liu Bei and can use it to replace the emperor without virtue."

Just after Liu Bei and Li Su personally ate locusts in public and asked Li Su to kill locusts, a few days later, what he did and the debate on the cause and effect were spread to Liu Xie in Hongnong.

Although Liu Xie had already felt relieved and knew that Liu Bei would most likely not harm him, it was at this moment that he was completely relieved and completely relieved.

Moreover, Liu Xie himself believed in the "Theory of Blessings in the Palace" from the bottom of his heart. From then on, he made every effort to promote it as the official ideology of the central court, and spared no effort to promote it, and all the remaining authoritative power of the emperor was used to this matter.

After all, this is good for Liu Xie himself.

Li Su further rose from a senior civil servant who was praised by the emperor as "knowing the destiny" to "the number one official ideological authority."

Although there is no benefit for Liu Bei for the time being, if he eventually wins the world, he will get a national system with more authority and more stable, and the bureaucrats and military generals dare not rebel and usurpate the country. From this perspective, Liu Bei's attitude is that he has not won the world yet, and he is already contributing to those who will win the world in the future.

Moreover, this authority does not affect the rise of people when they really can't survive. Anyway, if the people don't study, if a dynasty is really overthrown by the people because of land annexation, the gap between the rich and the poor should be overthrown by the people, then any philosophical theory cannot withstand it.

This authority brought by "the palace is prosperous and blessed" mainly deals with powerful officials who have read books and the unjust ambitions of military generals, that is, dealing with the uneven usurpation of spoils within the ruling class, which has little impact on the epoch-making revolution.

Li Su always believed that there were two types of troubled times: one was revolution and the other was dog biting dogs. The war caused by the unstolen part of the ruling class was not a good thing for the people. As long as it was the emperor's rule, simply changing the surname could not bring about social progress.

He never opposed the revolution, but the slaughter of dogs and dogs in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

...

Long-term benefits cannot be seen in one or two days.

However, from Li Su's personal perspective, after talking about the controversy that day, his busyness did not end, but had just begun.

The arrival of Cai Yong and Liu Ba means a series of new actions and new layouts. Li Suyou has to hand over many things, so busy that he is not careful.

Even the beautiful maid who came from Nanzheng to serve him had no time to dote on him.

On May 27, three days after the meeting, the Grand Secretary's farmer Zhang Yi completely recovered his health and mental state. Then Liu Bei did not make things difficult for him. He just used Cai Yong's public opinion to submit a memorial to the emperor to transfer Zhang Yiping to the Taifu.

After all, Jiuqing died and followed six thieves, and only three were left alive, and there were still many vacancy in the Pacification. The Taifu was in charge of the emperor's chariot, and sometimes he also controlled the horse and logistics of the capital army.

Zhang Yi is just speaking up for justice and making suggestions, and cannot be guilty of the person because of his words.

However, in actual operation, the power of Taipu can be big or small. Now the emperor has gone to Hongnong and asked Zhang Yi to go to Hongnong to follow the court to drive for Liu Xie. The other work that controls the logistics of the Northern Army is to others. There is nothing wrong with it (the first Taipu of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang's coachman Xiahou Ying)

Other officials who were blocking the path also dealt with their thoughts. If they were just pedantic, they would be transferred to idle positions and maintained treatment. If they were malicious, as long as they were caught, Li Su would naturally be shocked by the attack.

After Zhang Yi was transferred, Liu Xie had at least one Situ and one Taifu, and one of the three Dukes and nine ministers. It is impossible to say that Liu Bei was treated unfairly and underestimated him.

The position of Grand Secretary Yuan was vacant, and Liu Bei did not intend to make up for it, so he asked Li Su to temporarily take charge of Grand Secretary Yuan as the Yin of Jingzhao.

Chief Sanfu is nominally on the same level as Jiuqing, but in fact Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin are slightly higher than Jiuqing. It is like the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government is theoretically on the same level as the minister, but in fact only the mayor of Tianjin (you Fufeng, left Fengyi) is on the same level as the minister, and Jingzhao Yin is higher than the minister.

So Li Su didn't need the official position of Grand Secretary Yuan, just ask Liu Ba and the others to report their work directly to him.

After almost the same problem left by Zhang Yi, Li Su was still working diligently all day long on the 27th. He kept Liu Ba discussing a disaster relief move in the next stage, and taking out Deng Zhi's information to figure out how to clean up the Guanlong family who were hiding behind Zhang Yi and Wang Bi.

...

Late at night, the lights in the study of Jingzhao Yin Mansion were still not turned off. Li Su put a list on the desk and pushed it to Liu Ba's side:

"This is a list of the family families of the Sanfu family, followed by Deng Zhi's investigation. They interacted with Wang Bi and several other officials who jumped out to question the cost of resisting drought and killing locusts. Zichu, let's consider which one of these family members should be warned, which one can win over, and which one should be used to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

There is no need to investigate how many clans there are in each place, and you will know it once you ask. However, Liu Ba is from another place and only needs to know it specifically before he came.

That scene was like Jia Yucun, who was just a new arrival, watching the "official talisman".

In the late Han Dynasty, the problem of powerful power in Guanzhong was not very serious. None of the famous "Guanlong clans" hundreds of years later have been formed now.

In general, it is "Jingzhao Weidu, go to Tianchiwu". In addition, some branches of the Hongnong Yang family next door spread to Jingzhao, and there are Hedong on the other side of Fengyi County. Some branches of aristocratic families migrated across the river due to the spread of Baibo thieves, such as the Wei family in Hedong.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si were the masters of crazy robbery and killing. After three or four years of rule, many representative figures of these aristocratic families were killed, and many of the accumulated property in the family were robbed as military pay, which was greatly damaged.

However, because people like Dong Zhuo and Li Jue did not farm and did not pay attention to robbing land, the problem of land annexation has not been alleviated. Several major families still hold a large number of dusty land deeds in their hands, and nominally own extremely vast land.

From this point of view, Liu Bei's entry into Guanzhong actually slowed down the reshuffle of Guanzhong - the reason is quite tragic, because if Li Jie continues to massacre the people, the number of poor tenant farmers will plummet in less than two years. At that time, the land will be vast and sparse, and the aristocratic families will have to abandon the land, and there will be not enough tenants to rent it.

At that time, they will have to lower the land rent, and the land holders compete with each other to attract people to rely on. Even if they are attracted, they will not be able to attract them, because the tenants may find a white land without a single rent of land to the landlord.

But now Liu Bei ended Li Jue's disaster four years ahead of schedule. Isn't this more than two million people saved in the Guanzhong Plain?

If a place has a large population, the real estate market will rise. This is a natural law. People who are rushing to rent land will compete with each other, and landlords can also offer high prices in terms of rent collection ratios.

Liu Bei lived two million more people and had to solve the problem of renting land for the extra people.

Li Su and Liu Ba discussed one by one:

"Let's look at it one by one. At present, it seems that the ones who are closer to Wang Bi are mainly Jingzhao Wei Du, the Wei family first and Du family second. The ones who are closer to Zhang Yi are the branches of the Wei family in Hedong who moved to Fengyi County. The Yang family of Hongnong also has a lot of land in Xinfeng, Jingzhao, and Zheng County, which is a natural line.

The Wei family originated from the two emperors of the Han Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, and was the first family of Jingzhao. The ancestor Wei Xian was the prime minister since Emperor Xuan and Emperor Yuan, and then his son Wei Xuan and his grandson Wei Shang became prime minister, censor and Grand Sima. He served as the chief of Aiping Ruziying and stopped at Wang Mang.

After the revival of Guangwu, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth and fifth generations of the Wei family were the nine ministers, and then served as local officials in Guanzhong. Some of them also had Jingzhao Yin, but they were gradually distant from the power center of Luoyang court, which was considered to be "three generations, three ministers and two generations, nine ministers". There were thousands of hectares of land in Jingzhao Yin, mainly concentrated in the western part of Jingzhao. There were thousands of hectares around Huaili in Youfufeng, spanning two counties.

However, the Wei family currently has multiple branches, and their attitude towards us is different. When necessary, you can pull and fight each other, just like when we were in Shuzhong, we can help the clan center to us and the side supporters that can be transformed, just like supporting Yang Hong and Chen Shi. This will also prevent people from panic and thinking that we should make excuses to completely liquidate and occupy the land.

The second-ranked Jingzhao family, the Du family, started from Du Zhou, the censor of the Han Dynasty. His son Du Yannian was also ranked among the third dukes. He was named "eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion" in the reign of Emperor Xuan, and then several generations of nine ministers, which were considered "two generations, three dukes, and four generations, nine ministers". It was not until the time of the dynasty that it declined in the officialdom during the He period, but in Guanzhong, the people were always in large numbers.

Moreover, the most complicated thing about the Du family is that its power is mostly in the southeast of the county, and its core base is in Duling County. It is now the pseudo-Jingzhao Yin Qiaorui capital represented by Yuan Shu. Nearly half of the Du family's land is in the five counties of Jingzhao occupied by Yuan Shu.

If we follow the line of Wang Bi and Wei, we will also forcibly entrusted the people of the Du family to fight against disasters, calm the price of grain, and oppose the annexation of land. They may be forced to join Qiao Rui and take the population, family wealth and private soldiers to become the people under Yuan Shu. So even if we try to do something, we must stabilize them first and not give them the opportunity to join Yuan."

After talking about the Weidu family, Li Su continued to analyze which families whose bases were not in Jingzhao, but who had infiltrated from neighboring counties and had powerful forces in the county. These families also had a problem, that is, Liu Bei could not completely be forced to force him. If he was forced to force him, they still had a way out and could retreat outside Liu Bei's rule.

Of course, if they really retreated, although Liu Bei lost some manpower and financial resources, the fields could not be taken away, and even if they were not good, they could confiscate the fields and distribute them to the poor. But as long as there was hope, Li Su still did not want to get to this point.

Talents and the people are all part of national strength. We must fight for it if we can.

It goes without saying that Hongnong Yang, the third-ranked local power, is far above Wei Du, but there are only two counties that have entered Jingzhao. Currently, Yang Biao was imprisoned by Li Jue and his injuries have not yet recovered. The Yang family is currently in Zheng County, and Xinfeng's interests are endorsed by Yang Xiu, who has just reached the crown.

Yang Biao and Yang Xiu and his son had a good relationship with the former Grand Secretary Zhang Yi. After Zhang Yi was moved, Li Sude had to deal with Yang Xiu and found a way to prevent Yang Xiu from completely beating Dong Cheng and Duan Wei because of fear.

The last branch of the Wei clan in Hedong was in Fengyi County. The current head of the family was Wei Kai, about 40 years old. The main force in the family was in several counties that Fengyi leaned against the Yellow River and Puyangjin. They were unable to survive because their hometown was repeatedly invaded by the Baibo thieves and the generals were unable to survive, so they crossed the Yellow River from Puyangjin and fled to Fengyi County.

(I know someone must say that Wei Kai is also a subordinate of Cao Cao, so I plugged the leak in advance. Wei Kai followed the court to join Cao after Emperor Xian returned to the east in the early years of Jian'an. In addition, Wei Kai, like Zhong Yao, is known for his son in old age. Zhong Yao was born in Zhong Hui at the age of 70, and Wei Kai was 65 years old and Wei Kai was born in Wei Guan)

However, when Guan Yu was in Hedong a few years ago, he investigated the salt tyrants in Hedong, killed some people, and killed Wei Zhongdao, confiscated some of the Wei family's black property to provide military supplies. Therefore, Wei Kai's branch is considered to have a grudge against Liu Bei's camp, and it is unlikely to win over it. Maybe if he is forced to go back to Hedong, he will really go back to Hedong again. If he doesn't want to face the Baibo thief, he can only invite Yuan Shao, who is about to be vacated, to restore Hedong from Henoi and liberate the Hedong family.

Anyway, the favorite thing that the aristocratic family members must be Yuan Shao in power, after all, represents the interests of the aristocratic family. No matter how well Liu Bei did, he was definitely not as attractive to these vested interests.

"The situation is very complicated. It is easy to find any one of the crimes. I am afraid that everyone will be in danger. In this way, it is difficult to follow the scenes of Wang Bi and go straight to the deepest storm."

After Liu Ba talked about the current situation with Li Su, he was also so moved. Then Liu Ba thought for a while and suggested: "Prince, I think that it is not a time to hurry, but you should show hope for these families first.

As the Jingzhao Yin, you are also known as extravagant. Although you have eliminated waste now, you should not be unkind. You should still have more polite exchanges and give them the opportunity to explore venture capital."

As soon as Liu Ba said that, Li Su understood.

Of course, this is not to let Li Su**, but to let Li Su calm people's hearts, accept some other people's gifts, and give legal gifts at the level of exchanges, not heavy bribes.

Otherwise, others will not be at ease.
