"They want to recommend me the position of county guard, but we can choose exactly where we want to go."
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Wang Xuan smiled casually and said, "It doesn't matter, even if they don't recommend us, we just need to write a letter to Dong Zhuo wherever we want to go. However, it is always good to have someone recommend us, it will make us more popular in the world."
, it’s a good thing.”
"Then where is the best place for us to go?" As he said this, Liu Bei also showed a bit of eagerness. He had been wandering around for almost seven years. No one believed Liu Bei if he said he was not in a hurry. In addition, he was not alone now.
Not to mention always wandering, I feel sorry for the two brothers Guan and Zhang. They have more than 5,000 soldiers who have to be resettled. With so many people, they can eat and drink wherever they can!
Didn’t you notice that Jian Yong’s hairline is getting higher and higher recently?
"Go wherever it is the most chaotic!" Wang Xuan replied casually, not paying attention to the meaning of Liu Bei's "we". It doesn't matter, just leave it like that. Although Liu Bei is neither wise nor powerful, but this
In terms of character, it is indeed very top-notch. As for the occasional bad temper... Wang Xuan just needs to be careful not to be infected.
In other words, people who are in the second grade of middle school generally don’t have any bad intentions.
"The most confusing place!?" Everyone, including Liu Bei, was stunned and stared blankly at Wang Xuan, waiting for an explanation.
"Otherwise!" Wang Xuan looked around at everyone and said, "Look at you guys, Xuande Gong is a bit better. After all, he is the Queen of Zhongshan County, but you are Mi Zhu, one of the five wealthy businessmen in the world.
One, but it’s just a merchant’s home, don’t you think so?”
Wang Xuan didn't tell Mi Zhu's identity, nor did Mi Zhu himself. Liu Bei thought he was just an ordinary merchant at first. Later, when the princes met for an alliance, he met Tao Qian and found out that Mi Zhu was one of the five wealthy merchants in the world.
With Liu Bei's background, he would not despise Mi Zhu, especially after being influenced by Wang Xuan and knowing how important money is.
Everyone's faces darkened, knowing of course that Wang Xuan didn't look down on their origins, but... was habitually venomous!
"Find a prosperous and wealthy place. Do you think you people can conquer the local aristocratic families?"
"Mr. Xuande, you have served as county magistrate twice before. Do you know how you were driven away?"
"Uh..." Liu Bei was stunned. He didn't know why he was kidnapped to him, but he didn't mind Wang Xuan's lack of face, so he said honestly: "Corrupt officials and cruel officials."
"To put it bluntly, you simply don't have enough control over the local area, and all your efforts are concentrated in the hands of the local aristocratic families. Even the officials and minor officials below are all members of the local aristocratic families, and the county magistrate's decrees are not issued.
Fu Yamen, this is just a county, what if it were a county!"
"At that time, the resistance to rule will only be greater. Even if we exchange the interests of the people under our rule and reach an agreement with the local wealthy families, we will not be able to get the actual rights, unless we have never thought about development and growth. How can this happen?
What can we do? Can’t we kill all the local wealthy families!?”
Liu Bei quickly shook his head. He was neither a madman nor a butcher, so how could he have the courage to do such a thing, unless he wanted to extirpate himself from the world.
"Isn't this the end? We can only find places that are particularly chaotic. The local wealthy families have either moved away, been killed by the rebels, or simply colluded with the rebels."
"At that time, as long as we find a reason to kill those who colluded with the rebels, this place with a complete vacuum of power will naturally fall into our hands. Only in this way can we completely control it and become the foundation. When there are more places and stronger strength,
When we expand again, even if we kill any disobedient families in the future, we will still have the strength to withstand the slightest bit of backlash."
"Anything that you cannot fully control is not yours. Mr. Xuande, you are not Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu. You have the foundation of the Yuan family, and you are not Cao Cao. You have the Cao family and the Xiahou family as your foundation. Therefore, you are optional.
There’s only so much space.”
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, Liu Bei suddenly realized that no wonder he didn't stay long in his previous two posts. He was more concerned about the life problems of the people under his rule, so he had conflicts with the local wealthy families, and it was natural for him to be kicked out.
"A place of chaos? It's still the kind of place where no aristocratic family lives. That's not much, right?"
"The area around Luoyang in the future will be very chaotic, but it will not be a long-term habitable place. Hedong will also be chaotic, as will the northern part of Bingzhou, most of Qingzhou, and Mount Tai in Yanzhou."
Wang Xuan talked about several places, and everyone who listened had their mouths twitching. It was either the frontier bordering the barbarians, or it was simply a den of thieves, such as the Baibo thieves in Hedong, the Taishan thieves in Mount Tai, the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou...
Fortunately, the troops in the hands of Liu Bei and Wang Xuan were all converted from traitors. Well, they naturally have a sense of intimacy.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei's place can be regarded as a den of thieves. Only Zhang Fei can be considered a white body, and even Guan Yu is also a murderer and a fugitive... let alone the others.
Liu Bei thought for a moment, and finally sighed. He had no idea. "Let's just talk about it. I really don't know where is more appropriate."
"Definitely Qingzhou!" Wang Xuan said without hesitation. How can we develop without relying on the sea?
"Qingzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides!" Mi Zhu and Jian Yong looked at each other, wondering why Wang Xuan chose such a place.
"You seem to be enemies on all sides, but I seem to have room for development on all sides!" Wang Xuan laughed, his momentum clearly revealed, "Actually, Kong Rong's territory in Beihai is pretty good. How about it, Mr. Xuande, think about it!
"
"It's not difficult to get Kong Rong's territory, you just need to communicate with Dong Zhuo!" Wang Xuan seduced directly.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Brother Wenju is a pure and kind man and treats people sincerely. How could he do such a thing."
Wang Xuan nodded. Liu Bei was a little emotional and not rational. However, after being so obedient, Cao Cao became very rational later on, but it was so unsettling.
Sure enough, if you sit in a different position, you will see the problem from a different angle.
"Then let's go to Qijun in Qingzhou. Firstly, it's close to the sea. Secondly, it's close to Beihai, which can help. Thirdly, it's close to Taishan County, so it's ready to attack at any time. Fourthly, it's close to Xuzhou Donghai County, and it's not far away from Zizhong.
Far away, there are enough Yellow Turban thieves nearby, which just absorbs the advantage of expanded troops. In addition, we can also borrow a lot of power from Tao Gongzu!"
"But if you are told, I will obey." Mi Zhu replied sonorously and forcefully. In this short period of time, he had personally watched Wang Xuan support Liu Bei, who was nothing, into a prince. His admiration for Wang Xuan could be said to be overwhelming. As a man,
Big businessmen naturally dare to invest heavily at critical moments.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Such a big matter was decided directly by Wang Xuan in such an understatement.
