"Those people are the way of goodness." Although he didn't expect the other party to ask such a sharp question as soon as he came up, Cai Ji still corrected Li Min quietly.

But Li Min obviously couldn't accept such a statement, but when he saw him frowning, he asked, "What's the difference between changing the soup and not changing the medicine?" ”

"Of course it's different. The Yellow Turban Thief is a thief bent on taking over the world. And these people are just a group of ordinary Baixin who want to find a place to live, but they just happen to believe in Huang Tian too. Cai Ji explained with an innocent smile.

"Cai Yuanjun really thinks so? It was not Donglai who accepted these chaotic people, but Liaodong Cai Envoy Jun had ever thought that if these remnants of peace colluded with the Black Mountain thieves after arriving in Liaodong, what would it be? Li Min asked with an accentuated tone. In fact, before coming to Donglai, Li Min only thought that Lin Fei and others wanted to immigrate the displaced people from the Central Plains who were fleeing the war to Liaodong. But after he stayed in Huangxian for a while, the so-called homeless people were not ordinary homeless people at all, but the remnants of Taiping Dao gathered from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places. It is said that Li Min, as an official of the imperial court, has always hated the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban thieves who have brought disaster to the world. In addition, the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yanbu has been wandering in Youyou and Hebei Prefectures. Therefore, in Li Min's view, Cai Ji's immigrating to Liaodong is simply the scourge of the masses that may rebel at any time. And if this matter is not resolved, then there is no need to talk about the cooperation in the future.

After hearing what Li Min said, Cai Ji was not frightened by his assumptions, but smiled leisurely and said, "Wouldn't Lord Li be able to have tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses out of thin air?" ”

Li Min didn't expect the girl in front of her to answer like this. The old man, who couldn't turn the corner, immediately curled his beard and asked, "What does Cai Yuanjun mean by this?" ”

At this time, Cai Ji saw that Li Min had been attracted by the topic, so he spoke unhurriedly, "Presumably Lord Li also knows that although there are constant wars in the Central Plains now, there are very few people who really have the courage to move to such wild places as the subject countries of Liaodong. If it weren't for these chaotic people who couldn't stay in the Central Plains, where could this government go to find tens of thousands of people to build Jinxi City? As for the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan, that is a person that even Yuan Shao has to woo. If we can join forces with the relationship of Taiping Dao, wouldn't Jinxi City be able to add a boost? ”

Energy does not arise or disappear in a vacuum—the law of conservation of energy applies not only to the materialistic physical world, but also to the world of competing heroes. The so-called "world" is so big, and there are only a few human, material, and financial resources. If you don't use it, others will use it; If you use it, others won't use it. Cai Ji is not an immortal, it is impossible to recite a spell to scatter beans and conjure an army out of thin air. All she can do is pull together a force that can be co-opted like the warlords of this era, even if it was once your enemy.

Li Min is also a person who has been in troubled times for most of his life, not to mention that he just experienced the pain of raiding his home a few years ago. Of course, he knows that hypocrisy can't be exchanged for strength, and it can't help him avenge. Therefore, after listening to what Cai Ji said, Li Min also felt that using Taiping Dao might be a real choice. But when you can take advantage of others, it often means that others can take advantage of you. Therefore, Li Min's attitude towards Taiping Road can be optimistic. No, after bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Li Min couldn't help but remind Cai Ji seriously, "What Cai Yuanjun said makes sense. However, the people of chaos are people of chaos after all, and there is no faith at all. If you want to really control these rebels, you must get rid of their heads. Otherwise, you're fighting the skin of a tiger."

In the face of Li Min's solemn reminder, this time Cai Ji finally restrained his smile and showed a slightly solemn expression. Because Li Min's words did touch a certain unsettling factor deep in her heart. Yu Ji and Lin Fei, are those two guys really reliable? But Cai Ji quickly put the question under pressure. Obviously, whether Yu Ji and Lin Fei are reliable or not, Cai Ji needs to use the power of the two of them right now. Even if the other party is extremely unreliable, she can only pinch her nose and endure it first. So after being slightly moved, Cai Ji quickly recovered his dues and said to Li Min, "Thank you Lord Li for mentioning it." However, when it comes to the control of immigration, the government now needs the assistance of a famous person from Liaodong like Lord Li to strengthen its control over Jinxi Port. ”

Li Min saw that Cai Ji had adopted his opinion and offered to cooperate with him, so he couldn't help but twist his beard and wave his hand, "The old man is just a person buried in loess, how can he help Cai Yuanjun." ”

Since the loess is buried to the neck, do you still have the spirit to come to me across the ocean? On the one hand, Cai Ji secretly slandered Li Min's methods of wanting to capture and indulge in the past too simple, and on the other hand, he continued to flatter Li Min, "Lord Li's words are wrong. Although the province has a heart to go through Youzhou, but how can Youzhou and the Central Plains be far away, and the government knows little about the situation in Youzhou, especially Liaodong. is in need of a famous person in Liaodong like Lord Li for guidance. ”

With Cai Ji's words, Li Min naturally took the opportunity to introduce the general situation of the counties in eastern Liaodong. During this period, the accusation against Gongsun Du was naturally indispensable. However, Cai Ji is not Lin Fei, not Duan Rong, and he will not just listen to Li Min's words. In fact, as far as Cai Ji knows, Gongsun Du was not a remote prince who did nothing but knew how to conquer and extort. On the contrary, many historical materials show that Gongsun Du is a "heroic man" with great ambitions and ambitions. He not only made several expeditions to Goguryeo and other Dongyi in Liaodong to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty, but also recruited talents in Liaodong, set up a museum to open schools, and recruited displaced people. As for the killing of the famous families in Liaodong, it was also for the purpose of suppressing the wealthy families. Just as Cao Cao did similar things in Xuzhou. And Cai Ji is also thinking day and night about how to solve those wealthy families entrenched in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Gongsun Du has a lot in common with Cai Ji in terms of ambition and governing philosophy. However, just because there is something in common in this day and age does not mean that the two are allies. The cornerstone of allies is interests, not ideas. On the contrary, the same idea often implies irreconcilable opposition. Because to achieve great ambitions, you need to have overwhelming strength; If you want to have overwhelming strength, you will inevitably participate in the competition. So although Cai Ji admires Gongsun Du, the other party is still a stumbling block in front of her. Just as Cai Ji also admired Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was destined to be her opponent. Such a contradictory situation corresponds to a famous quote of Kissinger in later generations.

The great tragedy of history does not occur when right and wrong are opposed, but when two right are opposed.

At this moment, after listening to Li Min's accusation, Cai Ji immediately followed the other party's words and sighed in a low voice, "I never thought that Gongsun Du would be so tyrannical in Liaodong. ”

"Cai makes Jun Mingjian. What the old man said is true, and there is no lie. At present, Liaodong Baixin is under the authority of Gongsun Du, and his days are like years. If Cai Envoy Jun can send troops to Liaodong to destroy Gongsun Du, the old man is willing to use this remnant body to help Envoy Jun achieve great causes," Li Min said, and suddenly leaned over Cai Ji.

"That's not a problem. Lord Li killed the mansion also. Cai Ji hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Min up.

But Li Min still leaned over and begged for his life, "Cai Yuanjun please save the people from fire and water"

After some concessions, Cai Ji, who realized that the heat was about the same, said frankly to Li Min, "Don't hide it from Lord Li, this time General Yuan ordered the government to send troops to Youzhou to help him besiege Gongsun Zhan." Although the government was ordered by the emperor, it was planning to send troops to Xuzhou to rescue the driver. However, Donglai would still send a fleet for General Yuan to transport the baggage from the sea. If the Donglai Army can build a military port at the mouth of the Yishui River, it will be able to echo Jinxi Port from afar. At that time, whether it is to govern immigrants or send troops to Liaodong in the future, there will be no worries. ”

When Li Min heard that Cai Ji would send a fleet to Youzhou to help Yuan Shao attack Gongsun Zhan, he couldn't help but chuckle slightly. Yes, when Li Min first arrived in Donglai, he heard that Donglai had just experienced the Battle of Qingzhou, and Cai Anzhen not only had a bad relationship with Yuan Da, but also had a cold relationship with Yuan Shao. It can be regarded as a great disappointment to Li Min. Because the reason why he took the risk to cross the sea to Donglai was mainly because he hoped to use Cai Anzhen as a springboard and catch the line of Yuan Benchu. If the Cai family had already broken with Yuan Benchu, wouldn't he have come in vain.

Therefore, there was a period when Li Min did have the intention of retreating. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation between Liaodong and Donglai, and the fact that the other party is also the lord of a county, Li Min can only continue to wait for Cai Ji to return to Huangxian in Donglai. However, in this long wait, Cai Anzhen, who has been used by Li Min as a springboard, is actually not simple. The girl Taishou, who can be a granddaughter at this age, is not like ordinary officials, who simply collect taxes, and then lock them in the treasury and wait for the copper coins to rot. Instead, she transported the inferior copper coins that had accumulated years to Samhan in exchange for food, weapons, and equipping her navy. Use the various promises of the government to pay off the debts, and borrow the power of merchants to build Longkou Port. She also used her tax money to buy shops, boats, and houses for rent, and even to lend money, so that money could be earned. She was sitting on a monopoly on salt and iron, she bought cattle and sheep from the north, and silk tea from the south, or hoarded or circulated, to earn the difference. In addition, she also consigned goods for some declining families in Guanzhong. Those well-made utensils can often be sold for high prices in Samhan, Wakoku, and other places. However, it is said that Cai Anzhen never sold calligraphy and paintings to barbarians, but collected them herself. Li Min strongly agrees with this.

To put it bluntly, if it had been more than 20 years ago, Cai Anzhen's actions would have been enough to make her receive a cart full of impeachment. Of course, she will most likely become the favored vassal of the first emperor because of this. After all, no matter in the era, anyone who can grind two pieces of gold cake into three pieces is the emperor's favorite. In troubled times, this ability is even more precious. Because leading troops to fight requires money and food. What's more, the armament of the Donglai army should not be underestimated. At least judging from Li Min's experience, Cai Anzhen occupies a half county at this time, but has a state's soldiers and horses. It is only a matter of time before it expands outward. It is precisely because of this that Li Min gradually ignited the momentum of cooperation with Cai Ji again.

However, at this moment, since Cai Ji will decide to send a naval army to support Yuan Shao and provide him with military rations when the war in the Central Plains is tense, it means that the relationship between Cai Ji and Yuan Shao may not be as bad as imagined. Thinking of this, Li Min was thinking about the current battle situation in Youzhou in his heart, and at the same time asked Cai Ji tentatively, "Cai Yuanjun needs a person who is familiar with Youzhou to lead the way for your army?" ”

That's exactly what this government wants. I wonder if Master Li is interested in helping the government? Cai Ji happily invited Li Min. For Cai Ji, Li Min's greatest use value is his connections and fame in the north. If Li Min can assist the newly built Tianjin Port of the Zhang Qing garrison as a military advisor, it will not only make the construction of the port twice as effective, but also recruit famous people from the north with Tianjin Port and Jinxi Port as the center. If you want to make a fortune in this world, half rely on knives and half rely on fame. And what Cai Ji lacks most in Youzhou is fame. And Li Min's fame can just offset this disadvantage of Cai Ji. At least after Gongsun Chan was killed by Yuan Shao in the future, the subordinates under him would have one more choice.

Who is Li Min, how can he not hear that Cai Ji wants to use his fame to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou. However, Li Min also used Xiao Jiujiu to use Donglai's soldiers and horses, so at this time, he should bow down to Cai Ji even if he pushed the mountain down again, "Cai Yuanjun doesn't dislike it." The old man is willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”

"Lord Li, please get up. Adults are elders, how can this house receive such a great gift. Seeing this, Cai Ji hurriedly helped Li Min up. I thought that this Master Li was really going to do whatever it took to get revenge. But if it weren't, how could this person be of any use?

After Li Min was helped up by Cai Ji, he suddenly changed his previous excited attitude, turned his robe, and asked Cai Ji in a strategist style, "Cai Yuanjun, please allow the old man to talk more." But I don't know that this time the Donglai army went north to Youzhou to besiege Yijing with General Yuan? Or was it just to transport the baggage for General Yuan? ”

Cai Ji heard Li Min ask this, and had to sigh that Jiang was still old and spicy. It seems that if you don't explain your relationship with Yuan Shao clearly today, this old man will be happy after he arrives in Youzhou. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't help but smile leisurely, "Donglai is just a small county, and there are few major generals. In a big battle like the capture of Yijing, don't rush to grab the credit. In contrast, General Yuan launched such a big battle, which required a large amount of military rations, which would inevitably attract the peeps of the surrounding young people. Therefore, the government thought that keeping the grain route was the primary responsibility of the Donglai army. Of course, in this way, the Donglai army has to deal with the local clan Haoqiang in Youzhou, and this has to rely on Lord Li to take care of it. ”

Li Min listened to Cai Ji, and then made a comprehension and said, "The old man understands." ”

Just three days after Cai Ji and Li Min met, Donglai County announced that the naval army under the command of Pingyu General Zhang Qing and Captain Fubo Guan Cheng would go north to Youzhou with 5,000 troops. And Li Min accompanied him as a military advisor. The topics inside and outside Yihuang County have shifted from Xuzhou in the south to Youzhou in the north. Some good people even speculated whether Cai Ji planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that when Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and Lu Bu were defeated, they would lead their troops south to reap the benefits of the fisherman. After all, the current war situation in the Central Plains has fallen into a state of anxiety.
