Chapter Ninety-Eight: Distinction between Affection and Righteousness and Interests
At night, Ouyang Shi rarely drank tea in Chen Zhenghui's house.
"The fourth general has something on his mind?"
Ouyang Shi looked at the scholar in front of him who had been promoted all the way to the number one political official in Liuqiu after being tested by him, and he had a lot of words hidden in his heart-it's a pity that Xiao Tienu was not here now, and he didn't have anyone to talk to about these words. But why did he come to Chen Zhenghui's place tonight? Could it be that he had decided to confide in this scholar?
"Lao Qi came to beg this time, what do you think he means?"
Chen Zhenghui was slightly surprised to hear Ouyang Shi ask like this, but he didn't say something like "Why didn't the fourth general go directly to ask the seventh general"! After all, the cooperation between him and Ouyang Shi is not a day or two, although there is a huge gap between each other in terms of life concept and knowledge structure, but after cooperating for a long time, the understanding and trust between each other will gradually deepen.
"Don't the four generals like the seven generals to come and beg?" Chen Zhenghui didn't say it too explicitly, but it left room for the two to have a deeper conversation.
"Of course! At that time in Jinmen, he already made me very unhappy! Ouyang Shi said: "Later, my anger calmed down, so I went south to create this foundation, who knew that he wanted to come to his pocket?" What is this! Are you going to drive me to Maya? β
When Ouyang Shi said this, Chen Zhenghui knew that he could let go a little more: "The four generals are wrong. I think the Seventh General is a person, and he will not do anything too hasty when he goes south this time. β
"Oh?"
Chen Zhenghui said: "Liuqiu is different from Jinmen, Jinmen and Dajin are connected as one, and the Seventh General intends to use it as a center, so he naturally wants to take over the power." But Liuqiu is separated by a heavy sea and ocean, as long as the Seventh General has no intention of moving the center here, then even if he takes over the power, he still has to send someone here to serve again! But if the Seventh General doesn't even trust the Fourth General, who else can he appoint? That's why I say that General Seven will never do the same thing this time as last time. β
"And what do you think will happen to him?"
Chen Zhenghui said: "Since ancient times, emperors have mostly used the method of restraint for the newly opened up remote territories: they use force to force and send capable ministers, and in terms of etiquette and law, they mix the central government's decrees with the local situation, but the specific personnel appointments are mostly from the ministers. The advantage of this approach is that it can stimulate the ambition of the feudal ministers to do their best to develop the region; But the disadvantage is that it is easy to form separation, or even independence. So when the territory developed, the second step of the central government's move was to find a way to bring the local power back to the central government. The first step is to develop the localities, and the second is to monitor the localities. It is extremely difficult to grasp the order and severity of these two steps, and too early or too early centralization will even hinder local development, and too slow and too loose centralization will easily lead to separation. If it is put into history, the loss of the Tang Dynasty lies in being too indulgent in the locality, and the failure of the current dynasty lies in the excessive control of the locality! He talked a lot, and if he was not careful, he still took the Great Song Dynasty as the "current dynasty".
Ouyang Shi sneered: "You mean that Ying Qi wants to take power now?" β
Chen Zhenghui said: "It is natural for the center to take power to avoid local secession, and now what the Seventh General has to do is only to integrate southern Liaoning and Liuqiu more closely!" If it were the Fourth General, you would do the same in the center. Isn't it? β
Ouyang Shi was slightly displeased when he heard the first half of the sentence, but after calming down and thinking about it, he still nodded and said, "Not bad!" But whether he wants to cut power to me now, it is still unpleasant! β
Chen Zhenghui said: "With the coming of the Seventh General, the integration of power between Liuqiu and Jinmen is imperative!" However, how the power of the two sides is distributed depends on how you plan to do it, the four generals! If the four generals plan to stand on their own, they have to do it now! β
Ouyang Shi's face changed and said, "This ...... This...... How can this be! Although he was already interested in having a heart-to-heart relationship with Chen Zhenghui tonight, he didn't expect this scholar to say such serious things.
Chen Zhenghui asked: "Do the four generals care about brotherhood?" β
Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "First, I don't want to do such unrighteous things, and secondly, if we turn against the boss and the seventh now, then our financial routes and barriers in the north will be broken!" I, Ouyang Shi, don't want to be a soil king on the edge of this sea! He naturally knew that if he wanted to dominate the sea, he must have the overall strength of the Han Department to support him.
Chen Zhenghui didn't expect Ouyang Shi to say such heartfelt words to himself tonight, he was relieved, and nodded: "The fourth general is extremely right!" The big husband should overlook the world, and make a fuss behind closed doors on such a small island, which is not a joke! If the four generals have no ambitions, if they have the heart to swallow mountains and rivers, why not directly enter the center and control the Han Department? β
"Take control of the Han Department!" Ouyang Shi was shocked, it seemed that Chen Zhenghui had opened a layer of thought that he had and had never had in the past! Then he shook his head and said: "Although Ying Qi runs around all day, he is actually very good!" The officials in the center are all in the palm of his hand! β
Chen Zhenghui said: "Now, naturally, this is the case. But if the four generals have a heart, this situation may not be impossible to change - it can even be said that it will definitely change! Fourth General, think about it, since the Seventh General can adjust our power with the orders of the center, why can't we go north to win the championship with the capital we are seeking? β
"Oh?" Ouyang Shi's eyes flickered: "What do you say?" β
Chen Zhenghui said: "The first priority of the Seventh General when he goes south this time is to understand all aspects of the flow, including geography, cargo and colony, especially personnel!" Only if he knows everything about the flow of things can he continue with the next steps! β
Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "Go on!" β
Chen Zhenghui said: "After understanding clearly, the second thing is to bring the relationship between Jinmen and Liuqiu closer. How to get closer? The most important thing is to achieve personnel mobility! That is to say, people from the Jinmen can go to the south to become officials; At the same time, it allows people from Liuqiu to enter the Tianjin Gate smoothly. In fact, many of the veterans who were seeking to start a career came from the north, and it was only after the four generals opened the door to the southeast Shilin that the number of northerners going south gradually decreased. As far as I have observed at these times, the talents in the north are martial arts and shallow, and they need our help to introduce scholars from the southeast to manage politics! This can not only help solve the problem of the shortage of literati in the north, but also make the southerners return to Tianjin. In that case, why don't we push for it? Attract a large number of southerners to the north? First, these people have the endorsement of the four generals, and the seven generals dare not treat them badly; Second, if the seven generals want to accept the hearts of the southerners to the north, they will definitely be preferential! Third, it is not Zhenghui boasting, the scholars in the southeast are far from being comparable to the border people in the north, as soon as these people go up, as long as they are familiar with the atmosphere and habits of the north, within three or five years, they will compare the northerners, if the key departments of the internal affairs of the entire Han Department are the protΓ©gΓ©s of the four generals, and the four generals will find a way to enter the center, and then everything will be logical! Fourth General, do you say yes? β
Ouyang Shi listened to it, and then hesitated: "What if I enter the center and beg for things here?" β
Chen Zhenghui said: "At present, the flow of the island has been stabilized, and there is no military trouble, the island can be divided into counties according to the terrain and population, and you can rest assured that you can choose a trustworthy county order, and you don't have to set up a permanent officer who oversees the power of the whole island, and it can be led by the officials of Jinmen in peacetime, so that Jinmen can also rest assured." As for the military power, the East China Sea is dominated by naval divisions, and the four generals, your main fleet is parked at Jinmen and Liaokou, and there is no difference between it and in the chicken coop. As for the sub-fleets cruising in various seas, they will choose trustworthy people to be in charge! β
Ouyang Shi asked, "Don't you have a permanent officer?" Is this okay? β
Chen Zhenghui said: "If there is no big man who oversees the whole island, it is to let the counties of Liuqiu directly belong to the central government, and the place of the Han Department is not big, so there is nothing that is not impossible." During the Warring States period, the counties directly under the jurisdiction of the princes were not large, but later the world was unified, the territory became larger and larger, and the number of counties outside the country was too large, so it was necessary to cut the state and set up roads. β
Ouyang Shi smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "If this is the case, where should your position be at that time?" β
Chen Zhenghui said with a smile: "If the fourth general thinks that my suggestion is feasible, I am afraid that before the fourth general enters the center, I will already go north to pave the way for the general." β
