Chapter 588: The Emperor's Tour Hebei shook the hearts of the people
Chen Deng returned to his heart and began to plan for Liu Bei wholeheartedly. During the conversation, he analyzed the strength of Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and other princes very clearly, which made Liu Bei, who had never enjoyed the power of a first-class counselor, sigh with emotion.
Of course, Liu Bei's bitter feelings cannot be felt by outsiders except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who have been following him in his southern and northern wars, and Chen Deng, who was actually standing in front of him at this time.
However, to put it another way, there is no civil and military prince who can participate in the overall situation of winning the tripod in the world, and there is no legendary story in his body. After all, nowadays, stories are prestige. The more legendary, the wider the spread.
The more it can enhance a person's prestige and reputation.
Let’s get back to the topic, it’s the season when all the princes in the south are moving together and wars are raging.
In the north, King Qin Ying Zige, who already controlled half of the world and took over the old Qin's homeland, settled some troops in Luoyang, but temporarily left the power in the hands of Guo Jia and the others, and led his bodyguard westward.
Hebei began to inspect the newly acquired land, along the Yellow River, observing the people's livelihood under his command.
"Wang Jian and the Ministry of People's Livelihood have done a good job, and they have lived up to Gu's expectations!" On the afternoon of the seventh day, at the Neihuang Long Bridge, Ying Zige jumped off his horse and stood on the bridge, looking at the rolling Yellow River and the river that had obviously been reinforced and newly built.
The endless green wheat seedlings behind the embankment, full of vitality, revealed a smile.
"Your Majesty loves the people as much as his sons, and no one dares to slacken off!" Meng Yi replied respectfully to Yingzi Ge from the side: "Since taking Hebei, General Wang Jian sent troops one after another to mop up the remnants of the bandits in the territory, and then used thunder to
The method killed many clan thieves and landlords who harmed one party, and greatly frightened many people who wanted to make money and kill themselves through the war.
The unscrupulous people played a great role in stabilizing the situation in Hebei and winning over the hearts and minds of the people in Hebei. Later, the Ministry of People's Livelihood followed closely behind them, and followed the emperor's order to make every effort to promote the recovery of people's livelihood in Hebei and make the people live in peace. This plan to regulate the Yellow River
,Reshaping the river embankment is the result of the hard work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Meng Yi!"
"I'm here!" As soon as Meng Yi finished his words, he heard Ying Zige calling him in a deep voice. He immediately bowed and clasped his fists, listening quietly.
Ying Zige pointed to the farmers working in the fields singing pleasant country tunes in the distance, and said slowly: "Look, the people actually don't ask for much. They have clothes to cover their bodies, food to eat, and a roof to shelter from."
, there is land to cultivate, if you can still
Let them get married and establish businesses, have ancestral halls to offer sacrifices to, and have endless inheritance, then you will be their god, a figure like the ancient sage king. Unfortunately, since ancient times, apart from the ancient sage emperors mentioned in historical records, how many people can do this?
The situation?"
"What you have done is not inferior to that of Yao and Shun!" Meng Yi said slowly and sincerely.
"hehe!"
There was a chuckle in Ying Zige's mouth, and he glanced at Meng Yi and continued: "In troubled times, the needs of the people will be even lower. Without clothes, they can cover their bodies with leaves and fur, or even expose their breasts.
It's all right. Without shelter, they can sleep in sheds with animals, on the roadside, or in caves. But without land to cultivate and food to satisfy their hunger, they will inevitably take risks. Why have people rebelled so often throughout the ages?"
Meng Yi thought about what Ying Zige meant, but he replied without hesitation: "Survival!"
Ying Zige nodded, "Yes, it is survival. In other words, just living. Only when you have food can you live. If you don't have food, you will rebel. You will rebel only when there is no way to survive and there is no hope. Food is the last thing for the people.
The bottom line, this is a bottom line that no one can cross and obliterate. No matter who crosses this line, whether it is a wealthy family, a thousand-year-old family, or a clan of thieves, they are not far from death!"
"The people are stupid, yet simple and terrifying. Meng Yi, remember, in troubled times, if the people are not even afraid of living, then why should they be afraid of death?!"
"If you are not afraid of living, why should you be afraid of death?!" Listening to Ying Zige's rather contradictory words in his ears, Meng Yi was confused in his mind, but felt a chill in his heart. This sentence seemed to be an understatement, but behind it was
What a despair.
Ying Zige ignored Meng Yi's daze and continued to speak calmly: "Xunzi King System" says: "The king is a boat; the common man is water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns it."
Boat. This is what is called. Mencius also said that the people value the king more than the king. It is better to be like this. I am alone in the library with thousands of books.
You have all been touched. Now the north is pacified, the northwest is stable, and the foreign tribes have been defeated by Wang Jian, Meng Hu, and Fa Zheng. But in contrast, in the Central Plains, wars continue in the south. The princes think that we are exhausted and alone.
I’m just going with the flow, I’m afraid you all have doubts in your hearts!”
"I am guilty!" Meng Yi's heart trembled again, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he knelt down quickly.
"Okay, I know that many people have made comments below. This time I came to Hebei for inspection and asked you to accompany me. I am afraid that there are many generals who asked you to advise me to seize the opportunity and send troops in time. This is their responsibility and it is their responsibility.
They are as far as the eye can see, so I don’t blame them. But you are different. You are the Great Qin Emperor appointed by me.
Qing, one of the three high-ranking officials. You should know what you should do and what should not be done. Your vision should be followed closely behind Gu and look into the distance. When the Qin Dynasty rises again, the hearts of the people should be important.
The most important thing is. You are in charge of people's livelihood, and Ziming is in charge of the overall internal affairs. Can't you let them understand something?"
"Your Majesty!" Cold sweat broke out on Meng Yi's face. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly violated a taboo. As a confidant of the Lord, how could he go against his will and make friends with foreign generals? The Party of the Han Dynasty can't
As a warning, even if it is under the banner of seeking for the Lord, it is self-evident that the behavior is wrong.
"Okay! I value you, so you can spread what I said today. Within a year, people's livelihood and internal affairs are the key points that we need to pay most attention to. As for conquering the princes?" Ying Zige shook his head, with disdain on his face.
, "The north is established, the northwest is stable, the foreigners are defeated, and Hanzhong is also in the hands of the isolated army. In such a situation, if it is not the original state, how can the Central Plains be used? If the Central Plains is taken, if it is not Cao Mengde, how can the world be divided into three parts?"
At this point, Ying Zige exuded an astonishing momentum, and calmly turned to look at Meng Yi who was kneeling next to him, "Get up! You continue to patrol the North with Gu, and also send an order to Wang Jian, Jizhou Fushuo, for the former Han Dynasty
The largest state, I will give him and the Ministry of People's Livelihood a year to make Jizhou a strong support. As for Youzhou, it cannot fall too far behind, and it must at least reach the level of Xiliang!"
"No!" Meng Yi immediately bowed slightly and obeyed, "But Youzhou is located on the border, and the remnants of the Yuan family, Wuhuan and Liaodong seem to..."
"Cut the mess with a quick sword!" Ying Zige looked serious, with a chill in his eyes: "They are not all suffering. You pass the order and ask them to transfer to Wang Jian's command with their personal guards. One month, one month at most, they will be alone.
