370: Grass Bandits and Refugees (9) [seeking a monthly ticket]
Hearing what someone said, Gu Chi would naturally not take on a job to make himself unhappy. If he had time to engage in intrigues with several companies, he might as well just lie in bed and sleep a little longer. He said: "In that case, I wish you the best of luck this time."
All goes well."
Shangnan and Yiru are not that difficult to deal with, it depends on who you compare with. Compared with Qin Li, a hard-nosed person like Qin Li, it must be a lot easier. But I really want to persuade them to sell their precious labor force, this matter
There is also grinding.
Qishan had a stinking face.
Gu Chi gave him a small suggestion and said with a smile: "Actually, Yuanliang can start with Yi Ru."
The first one you come to is Tianhai.
Haha, in my lord’s words——
Qi Shan is so strong-willed that he is not afraid of concussions.
"How could I not know..." Qishan sighed.
Among the three families, Yi Ru and Ha Yin have the most distant relationship, and they only have a business partnership.
When it comes to closeness and distance, Yiru is probably the most difficult to explain.
This is not the case.
On the contrary, Yi Ru is the easiest to attack.
The reason is also simple.
Tianhai, Shangnan, Yiru.
Among the three families, Wu Xian of Tianhai has the highest background, and his family background and reputation are unmatched by the other two. He received education from aristocratic families since he was a child, and most of his subordinates are powerful families from Tianhai and nearby prefectures and counties. Qin Li was also a royal honorary
Expensive, it is impossible to be willing to put down your body and do hard work in just a few words.
Shangnan Guren and Yi Ruzhanghe are about the same amount.
No, it should be said that Gu Ren's conditions are better than those of Zhang He.
Gu Ren's ancestors were indeed wealthy, but the situation deteriorated due to wars and poor management. In Gu Ren's generation, he only had a name. Even so, this name also provided great help to Gu Ren on his growth path.
This background allowed him to be admired by a good mentor, and he fell into the eyes of a good mentor and was recruited as his son-in-law, who gave him maximum support. Later, his two father-in-laws also admired him. It can be said that he just had a poor start, but his growth and development path was quite smooth.
of.
Three father-in-laws, three noble men.
On the other hand, Zhang He was in a miserable situation. He had to rely on himself for everything.
Zhang He claimed to be the descendant of a branch of a lonely small clan. Gu Chi guessed that this was all because he was trying to put money on his face. His real background might be lower than this. He had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he became a doctor after a long illness.
Excellent medical skills.
However, his appearance was not very good, and Xin Guo selected talents based on appearance, which led to Zhang He running for the election three times and losing three times. He finally found a new way to enter the medical department, and climbed to the position of the top imperial physician, but as a result, there were many complications.
Not only did he lose his future, but he almost lost his life. He hid in hiding for many years before "seeing the light of day again".
Regardless of whether the doctor is truly benevolent or uses this method to win over people's hearts, it is undeniable that Zhang He has dealt with the common people for most of his life. Traveling to the bottom and seeing the suffering of many people, he can better understand the piercing pain faced by the common people.
The starting point is too low, and there are not many members of the family.
This also means that if Zhang He wants to go on for a long time, he cannot lose his biggest base - the common people.
People's support is Zhang He's greatest support.
Therefore, regarding this kind of measure that benefits the people and reduces the people's heavy corvee work, even if Zhang He has the same worries as Qin Li, but for the "good of the people" and to win over people's hearts, there is more than a 50% chance of helping with part-time labor...
Shang Nan Guren was second, and the hardest bone to crack was Tian Hai, who had the best personal relationship with He Yin.
Gu Chi: "You know this, and you deliberately choose Tianhai?"
Isn’t this asking for trouble?
Qishan remained silent and had no intention of explaining.
"What is the deep hatred between you and Qin Gongsu?" Gu Chi gossiped from a different angle, "Besides the fact that you encouraged the former lord to set fire to force him to step down and become an official, and then killed the former lord in advance to ruin Qin Gongsu's plan, what else did you do?"
Gu Chi discovered a very interesting detail.
The envoys from Tianhai, Shangnan, and Yiru. On the surface, the envoy from Yiru is the least arrogant, but in his heart, he is the best at calculating. He can hear the sound of this guy dialing the abacus when he is outside the city, and the abacus is shaking.
Heavenly sound, shrewd!
Gu Ren, his sixth brother, is kind on the surface, but kind at heart!
Ninety-nine percent of Qin Li's firepower was directed at Qi Shan. Whatever Qi Shan did, he would always spin conspiracy theories. The whole thing... Oh, what did the Lord say? Esidi was completely stunned.
But I really admire Ha Yin.
Think again about the nature of praying for good deeds.
Gu Chi suspected that there was some unknown gossip involved.
Qishan: "..."
He said calmly: "You are taking too much care."
Gu Chi: "...Oh."
There really is something going on here.
Qishan: "..."
He gave Gu Chi a cold look, his eyes full of threats, but Gu Chi, a tough guy like him, didn't give in at all.
hehe.
Want to scare him off with just one look?
Innocent!
On the second day, it was dark and bright.
Qishan went to the reinforcement camp in Yiru outside the city early in the morning. There were a few fewer people in the government office and it was cleaner than usual.
The officials who came and went were cautious, fearing to make loud noises that would disturb their colleagues. The lord who took the lead in the involution went out to fight, so the work fell on the left-behind staff. There were so many trivial matters that these days they were almost tied to the council hall.
Many officials were holding breakfast meat cakes in their mouths like rabbits chewing vegetables, and at the same time they wrote rapidly and wrote in order.
When Qin Li was invited in, he saw such a strange and funny scene. The staff member blushed, bowed hastily to Qin Li, and continued to bury his head at his desk. Qin Li also noticed that the atmosphere was awkward, so he looked away.
He came to pray for charity.
But today Gu Chi is on duty at the official office.
Asking for good deeds?
Gu Chi led Qin Li to the guest side.
"The Prayer Book went to Yiru Camp early in the morning."
Qin Li knew the purpose of praying for good as soon as he heard it.
He had not slept all night. In addition, he was emotionally excited last night and his energy and blood were turbulent. His complexion was no longer rosy and was slightly pale. When he heard about Qi Shan's whereabouts, he said sarcastically: "Qi Yuan's good habits can have whims and make things difficult for others."
Gu Chi's heart of gossip is ready to move.
However, Qin Li's inner voice did not have much space to pray for good deeds. It was like scratching an itch, which made him sigh inwardly: "The envoy might as well wait, the prayer book will return soon. Or tell me the matter and let me convey it on your behalf?"
He was curious about Qin Li's purpose this time. Could it be that he regretted not letting Qi Shan go out sideways last night, so he became more and more angry as he thought about it, and came over early in the morning to give Qi Yuanliang a few more swords?
The results were surprising.
Qin Li came to ask how to arrange manpower.
Gu Chi didn't react for a moment.
"What manpower?"
"Qi Yuanliang came to visit last night, wasn't it just to borrow Tianhai's manpower to dig a river channel and build a reservoir for Heyin?" Qin Li looked calm, looking at Gu Chi who seemed surprised, and continued, "I would like to represent my lord in this matter.
Yes!"
Gu Chi: "..."
Gu Chi: "???"
Gu Chi: "!!!"
He couldn't help but suspect that he was dreaming.
Why did Qin Li agree?
With Qin Li's anger last night, he was not surprised that he left Heyin with his troops and horses this morning, but he actually... agreed?
Qin Li took a sip of warm tea.
Gudan
Feel the warmth slide down your throat.
"Do you have any questions, Governor Gu?"
"Excuse me, the envoy and the prayer book seem to be..." Gu Chi still couldn't resist the gossip and asked.
"Private enmities return to private enmity, and public affairs return to public affairs. I will not be indifferent between public and private affairs." Qin Li dismissed this problem with one sentence, not forgetting to test, "It's just that--you, or rather Mr. Shen, really know how to condone this matter." The consequences?"
Without Qi Shan, he really admired Shen Jun, and even worried that Shen Tang might have been deceived by Qi Shan.
Gu Chi knew what Qin Li wanted to ask.
He only said: "I have choked the dead and want to ban the food of the world. Does the messenger think this is a good thing?"
Qin Li: "The two cannot be compared."
The so-called giving up eating because of choking means simply not doing something for fear that something will go wrong, but it is not a trivial matter for brave warriors to compete with the common people. If it is limited to He Yin, it is limited to a few people under Zhao Feng and Shen Tang's tent, and outsiders only It was considered a "strange person and strange thing" to be discussed after dinner, but judging from Ha Yin's attitude, it was obvious that he wanted to promote this idea.
How to not worry about people?
Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose control?
If someone else had asked the question, Gu Chi would most likely have said "unfounded worries", but the person opposite was Qin Li, so he would naturally have to give face. After thinking about it, he changed his words to a euphemism.
No system in this world is perfect from the beginning. It is also a positive side to use brave warriors to cultivate the land and free many weak people from heavy corvee work. Qin Li also knows that heavy corvee work is harmful to people?
If he was asking for help with a gun and a stick, how could Qin Li have the sense to listen and think calmly?
But Gu Chi is different.
Qin Li had some sympathy for this frail-looking young scholar, and would subconsciously accommodate him and give him more patience. The problem of heavy official service was also one of the main reasons that led to the collapse of Qin Li's homeland. He had studied it.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to answer.
It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that I understand it too well.
Each household needs young men to participate in the corvee, but young men are the main labor force of a family. Losing young men means a reduction in farming income. Coupled with heavy taxes, it can easily force a family to go to a dead end.
Moreover, heavy corvee and delayed farming were only a shortcoming, and a large number of common people died because they were unable to work.
Qin Li wanted to change things, but was unable to do so.
The matter of corvee involves too many interests.
The slightest movement on his part could lead to death. He was not afraid of dying for the country, but was afraid of dying in vain. The problem that led to the destruction of the motherland was not just a matter of corvée.
However, Gu Chi's words greatly inspired him.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Change your previous attitude and sincerely ask for advice.
If a thing has more advantages than disadvantages, it has the value of execution. He wanted to know what He Yin and Shen Jun thought.
Even if Shen Jun was young and could not think of the disadvantages, the staff and strategists around him would not watch Shen Jun dig his own grave.
Perhaps this matter is really the result of their repeated discussions and weighing the pros and cons?
If so——
Qin Li seemed to have some troubles in his heart.
"Excuse me for being ignorant, please give me some advice."
Gu Chi: "..."
Seeing Qin Li preparing to have a long conversation with him, Gu Chi greeted Qishan in his heart a hundred and eighty times.
This guy can run fast himself, leaving him to deal with Qin Li.
Qin Li is a very old-fashioned guy who won't give up until he achieves his goal. He is not easy to get rid of. Gu Chi took advantage of the break of drinking tea to become more active, thinking about the benefits of squeezing a brave warrior.
_(:з ∠?)_
Isn't the advantage that their manpower is cheaper?
My lord's original intention was just to exploit Zhao Feng and Tianhai's labor force...
However, these reasons cannot be given.
When the news reached Wu Xian's ears, the two families still didn't break up their friendship?
Let him think about what noble excuse he has...
In a blink of an eye, Gu Chi drafted a plan and prepared to start his deception... ah no, explanation.
"Alas, I don't dare to take it seriously if I don't teach you."
Gu Chi deliberately slowed down his speech to make himself look more incomprehensible, but in fact it was just to delay time.
"There are advantages and disadvantages to this matter, it all depends on the choice."
Qin Li nodded: "Yes."
He listened carefully and wanted to take notes on the spot.
The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched and he said: "Martial warriors are extraordinary. Even a low-level warrior can be worth ten people. Not to mention a mid-level warrior, how many people can be saved from the suffering of corvee labor?"
?Without the heavy corvée, every young and strong family can farm with peace of mind, men farm and women weave, and live a prosperous life..."
"But - if all the fields are in the hands of brave warriors, they will have no fields to plant, and naturally they will have no food to eat."
Gu Chi asked back: "Only farming can you satisfy your hunger?"
Qin Li: "???"
Gu Chi felt annoyed that he was quick to speak and hurriedly made amends.
"If a brave warrior can cultivate the food needed by ten or even a hundred people, will food still be valuable?"
Qin Li was startled when asked.
In an instant, it was like a sudden enlightenment.
yes--
If food becomes abundant and prices cannot be raised, ordinary people can use the money earned from other livelihoods to buy food. If they can afford it, they will not starve to death. As long as they do not starve to death, they can always think of other ways to survive because the basic threshold for survival is low.
.
only--
Qin Li had doubts again.
"If the fertile land in the world is controlled by a few in-laws and powerful people, they discuss raising the price of food together, or giving less wages to the common people... won't it be difficult for the common people to survive?" This question is sharp.
Gu Chi secretly complained about why this guy had so many problems. He said: "If this is the case, these in-laws have crossed the line and can even shake the country. Can the royal family still tolerate them? Someone will naturally intervene in this matter.
How many common people are there in the world? If they can no longer survive, and the country does not lead the country, can the king and the king still hold the throne?"
Whoever dares to do this will have their ashes raised.
Gu Chi was certain that his lord could definitely do such a thing - he had already done things like building a Beijing temple with the corpses of several local snakes in Heyin, so what else would he not dare to do?
Is such a fool really going to fall into her hands?
Haha, I guess she was so happy that she woke up from her dream, because she had an honest reason to ransack someone's house again.
Wouldn’t it be nice to take money from other people’s pockets and give it to yourself?
Qin Li nodded thoughtfully.
I have to say——
Qi Yuanliang's colleagues are more reliable than Qi Yuanliang.
only--
He has another problem.
"If all the fertile land in the world is occupied by brave warriors, what should the ruler of the country use to restrict them? They have food in their hands and proud military force. Why not recruit troops and become kings themselves?"
Gu Chi: "It all depends on the courage of that lord, whether he has the ability to suppress the brave warriors in the world!"
