When Dao Baiying heard Zhao Hai admit it so happily, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "Why don't you know how to restrain yourself? Are you capable of doing this kind of thing? Do you know?
, If the subsequent matters were not handled fairly well, and you really made a great contribution this time, my father would have dealt with you."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Just clean it up. To be honest, if it weren't for this matter, His Majesty might not have discovered the hidden crisis in the country. His Majesty promoted some small families that had no strength in the first place, just to deal with it.
Those big families? But His Majesty is looking forward to it. When those small families have enough strength, they will become a big family again. In the end, they will still fall out with Your Majesty. This is a law, because there is something going on here.
What matters the most is profit, and as long as the profit is enough, those big families will not show any emotion."
Dao Baiying also nodded. He also understood this, but he still felt that what Zhao Hai did was too radical. Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying and said in a deep voice: "Brother Dao, you should know that the Hu family has
We are very close to the royal family. It can be said that among all the big families, we are the closest to the emperor. Moreover, the Hu family has always been very restrained and did not do anything that would embarrass the royal family. I am not wrong about this, right?"
Dao Baiying nodded and said: "That's right. You are right about this. The Hu family is indeed the closest family to the royal family. I have no objection to this."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "The Hu family has always been very low-key and tolerant. And because they are close to the royal family, although those big families will not exclude the Hu family, there are not many who have a good relationship with the Hu family.
Family, this has caused the Hu family to be isolated invisibly. The big families know this, your Majesty knows it, but the people in the small families may not know it."
Having said this, Zhao Hai paused, glanced at Dao Baiying, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Dao, those guys from those small families, after they gained some strength, they immediately expanded. They think they should
To get a higher status, how do you get a higher status? Of course, it is to challenge a big family. It is best to step on that big family, so that they become famous. Others will recognize their strength, and they will
They will get greater benefits. This is the mentality of the nouveau riche. They want to make themselves richer and want those big families to recognize their status, so they must do this."
Zhao Hai took a breath and said in a deep voice: "So they selected people to see which big family was the easiest to bully, so the Hu family came into their eyes. The Hu family is low-key, and the Hu family is kind to others. If other big families are...
If they dare to provoke, they will immediately face crazy revenge from the big family. This is a law, but the Hu family generally does not. Even if they encounter a little provocation, the Hu family generally does not care too much, so they chose
Hu family."
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying and said in a deep voice: "But they misjudged the Hu family. It's not that the Hu family is not strong enough. The Hu family doesn't want to embarrass the royal family because of this matter. Originally, at this time, His Majesty should come
There are people who defend the Hu family, but His Majesty does not. If the Hu family does not fight back on their own, what will happen? The Hu family will be attacked by small and medium-sized families. By that time, the situation will be out of control, let alone what the Hu family can do.
We can't stop those small families from attacking in groups. Just talking about the consequences of this incident, those big families know that the Hu family is close to the royal family, and those small and medium-sized families, most of them were promoted by His Majesty. Now those small and medium-sized families together
To deal with the Hu family, no matter whether this matter was ordered by His Majesty or not, the debt will eventually be settled on His Majesty's head. In this case, what will those big families think? They will think, with the royal family
The Hu family who is close to the royal family will be punished by the royal family. What will happen to these families who are not close to the royal family and even have some conflicts? By then, I am afraid that the Blade Soul Kingdom will really be in chaos.
.”
When Dao Baiying heard what Zhao Hai said, he broke into a cold sweat. Now he finally understood the meaning of Zhao Hai's words. Yes, if it weren't for Zhao Hai's cruelty, those small and medium-sized families would really attack the Hu family.
Otherwise, the reaction of those big families may be exactly the same as what Zhao Hai said.
If those big families think that the royal family will deal with them, will they sit back and wait for death? Definitely not. I'm afraid they won't make a fuss by then, and the entire Blade Soul Kingdom will be in chaos.
Looking at Dao Baiying's look, Zhao Hai knew that Dao Baiying had also thought of this. Zhao Hai then said: "The Hu family's efforts to deal with those guys are not all for the sake of the royal family. The dignity of the Hu family does not allow those
The small family is riding on their head, so the Hu family will fight back, but they won't necessarily do it so fiercely to me."
Having said this, Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Actually, His Majesty's decision to suppress the great nobles was wrong from the very beginning. The great nobles are for their own benefit and can take advantage of some countries, but their roots
It is still the Blade Soul Kingdom, and they still support the royal family. If His Majesty wants the royal family to be able to suppress the big nobles and rule the entire Blade Soul Kingdom, he must recruit a group of big families and fight a group of big families.
Those big families fought among themselves, and the royal family benefited from it. What the royal family had to do was to balance and balance the forces of all parties, so that the royal family could rule the country steadily. But His Majesty did something wrong at the time. He pushed the royal family away.
When it came to the opposition of all the big families, although he promoted some small and medium-sized families, those small and medium-sized families were still far behind in fighting against the big families. Without His Majesty's support, those small and medium-sized families would not be able to compete with the big families.
"
Zhao Hai glanced at Dao Baiying who was thoughtful, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Dao, if you find that a city official is corrupt, and he is corrupt a lot, but he is very capable,
You are also very loyal to the royal family and govern the place well, so what will you do?"
Dao Baiying was stunned for a moment, then he immediately said: "What else can we do? Remove him from his post."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "I know that all those in high positions hate those below for corruption, but have you ever thought about it, are honest officials really capable? You removed the official who was capable but had embezzled some money.
, does the person you send must be an upright official? Even if he is an upright official, what if he is incompetent? If you want to find someone who is loyal, capable, and honest as an official, is there such a person? Even if there is
, how much can it be? If the person you send is an upright official, but he is incompetent, the city's annual income is one million gold coins, but in his hands, it can only earn 500,000 gold coins.
Or even less. It’s not just the royal family that will suffer. I’m afraid the people below will not have a good life. If the person you send is still a corrupt official, then even if he is capable, the people of that city will not live too well.
Well, because the last corrupt official was greedy a lot, he will be more restrained, but this new one is not greedy yet, so he will be even more greedy, and the people will still suffer, so Brother Dao
, the correct approach is that you still use that corrupt official, but you have to beat him, you have to send people to watch him, you have to share his power, you have to let him contribute, you have to let him have some benefits, but
But let this benefit be within the scope of your permission."
Speaking of this, Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying and said: "The same goes for dealing with big families. Now almost all the cities in the Blade Soul Kingdom have been divided by those big families. If they want to get benefits from those cities, they can't be too
If they treat the people in the city too poorly, they will try every means to make the people in that city richer so that they can have greater benefits. This is just like the royal family always hopes that the Blade Soul Kingdom will become more powerful.
, if the royal family wipes out all those big families, won't new families appear in those cities? These new families don't have the background of those big families. In order to get more money, they will work hard.
After searching, the people in the city will be the unlucky ones in the end. By then, I am afraid that the Blade Soul Congress will be even more chaotic."
Dao Baiying listened to Zhao Hai's words quietly. This was the first time someone said such words to him. Even these words were very different from what he had learned before. But the strange thing was that Dao Baiying
Ying actually felt that what Zhao Hai said made sense.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying, smiled slightly and said: "Brother Dao, if you become the king of Dao Soul Kingdom in the future, please remember that in any country, there are privileged classes and there are always struggles.
, Like your Majesty, what your Majesty did before was to use the power of the royal family to fight against all the big families. This was also tantamount to isolating the royal family, but now your majesty has changed a method, and your majesty is now starting to
Playing with the balance, His Majesty is equivalent to recruiting one group of people, and then using this group of people to deal with another group, so that the royal family will not be isolated, the royal family will become a superior existence forever, and people on both sides will please the royal family.
Because whichever side the royal family leans toward, that side will win a great victory, and what the royal family has to do is not to lean toward any side, and always stay in a superior position, so that it can rule the Blade Soul Kingdom well."
Dao Baiying didn't say anything, he just drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then he put down the glass and took a breath and said: "Hecao, I understand what you said, and I also want to thank you for telling me this.
, but aren’t you afraid that I will use this method to deal with the Hu family?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Don't be afraid. The Hu family doesn't want to replace the royal family. The relationship between the Hu family and the royal family is good, and now the Hu family is also a privileged class. Even if they want to fight with others, they don't have the strength. What's there to be afraid of?
Yes, as I said, in this world, if you want to develop and become a privileged class, then you have to take sides. People who don’t take sides can only be the ones at the top. Others,
You have to stand in line."
Dao Baiying got herself a glass of wine, raised the glass towards Zhao Hai, and said in a deep voice: "Hecao, I can't guarantee other brothers. If one day, I really sit in that position, the Hu family, the Lang family,
He is my most loyal ally. As long as I, Dao Baiying, am here, the Hu family and the Lang family will not be in any danger. You two, remember my words. I, Dao Baiying, will definitely do what I say." After finishing speaking.
