"Brother Meng De, you have been familiar with the scriptures since you were a child, and when you governed the place, I was still in the mountains and forests with fierce beasts as companions, and I have a place where you can learn."

Ma Qiang's face is modest, and he looks like you are the big brother.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "I am indeed a few years old, but because of this, all I have learned and known is the law of my Han Dynasty in the past, originally I also thought that as long as the country is ruled by law, I will be able to reproduce the prosperity of my Han Dynasty, but it was not until I saw the virtuous brother to govern the plain and govern Qingzhou, I did not understand what is the truth of the law of eternity." ”

Ma Qiang took a deep look at Cao Cao, and couldn't help but sigh that this is indeed the top three politicians of this era, although he has just stepped onto the chessboard of the world and become a chess player, but he already has his own political consciousness, and understands that the triangular rule of the emperor, relatives, and eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the dual politics of imperial power and scholars, can no longer be sustained, and a new path must be found.

In history, although Cao Cao consciously reused the Hanmen and suppressed the scholars, but because of a series of battles such as the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Hanzhong, and the Northern Expedition of Guan Yu, Cao Cao had no possibility of unifying the world, and could only compromise with the scholars to protect himself.

But now Cao Cao, has not yet reached the time when he must compromise with the scholars, he has not experienced the rebellion of Chen Gong, and he has not even really blackened, Cao Cao is still an idealist at this time, bent on finding a way to save the country, for this reason, he can raise a knife to any force.

For the first time, Ma Qiang couldn't help but seriously think about the possibility of finding allies in this era.

Although Ma Qiang has not said it on the surface, but in his heart he looks down on the princes of this era, he feels that he and these people can not talk about political ideals at all, he wants to popularize education, develop industry and commerce, liberate capital from the land, and make the scholar clan a historical term, all this, there will be a few people who understand and support it from the heart.

Ma Qiang looked at Cao Cao, if there is anyone in this world who understands and supports his career, this person may be one of them.

After all, the person in front of him is one of the most outstanding politicians of this era, and the only person who can beat this person should still be playing with mud somewhere in Xuzhou at this time.

Ma Qiang suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand very solemnly, and then said, "Gong Cao, are you willing to be my partner?" ”

Cao Cao was a little confused, what do you mean? Want to form an alliance?

This... It's okay for you to win Yuan Shao first, as long as you win, don't talk about an alliance, it's okay to get married!

Actually, my Cao Cao also has a daughter!

If Ma Qiang knew Cao Cao's thoughts, he would have to spurt out a mouthful of blood, you must know that Cao Cao's eldest daughter is younger than Lin Zhi!

Beast!

Ma Qiang saw that Cao Cao was hesitating, knowing that he had misunderstood, and continued, "There are many kinds of battles between the world, one of which is the battle of ideas, I hope that even if there is a fight between the two of us in the future, it will not be a battle of ideas. ”

Cao Cao understood, this is Ma Qiang's preparation to reveal his heart to him, hoping that the two can have something in common in terms of political concepts in the future.

Cao Cao shook Ma Qiang's hand, and he was also curious about what kind of political ambitions this man who studied under a different school and was like a mystery.

"Let's go, the scenery over there is good, how about you and I get some drinks and talk?" Ma Qiang pointed to a slope and said.

"Very good! Walk! ”

Ma Qiang asked people to lay out the carpet, put wine and food on the table, and had a secret conversation with Cao Cao, and everyone else stood at the bottom of the slope, and they couldn't hear the words on the slope.

"Therefore, all things must find the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction in order to know the problem, and all contradictions can be collectively called class contradictions!"

If there were future generations here, they would definitely be stunned by this scene, someone was actually giving Cao Cao a lesson in Ma Zhe!

"Class contradictions? What does this mean? ”

"Class is a group of people in different positions in social relations, such as the court, the dispute between eunuchs and relatives, in fact, the struggle between the imperial power and the scholars, here, the imperial power is the ruling class, the subject power is the ruled class, in the locality, the scholars and the Hanmen are the ruling class, and the head of the Qiantou is the ruled class.

They all have different interests, so there will inevitably be contradictions.

And everything the government and the court do should be to resolve or alleviate the occurrence of these contradictions.

For example, our Han Dynasty, in today's situation, some people say that the first emperor is to blame, some people say that Dong Zhuo is to blame, and some people say that Zhang Jiao is to blame, but in my opinion, the real blame is the insatiable scholars! ”

Cao Cao was also a member of the Shi clan, and he couldn't help but feel a little displeased when he heard it, but he didn't interrupt Ma Qiang's words.

Ma Qiang continued, "For example, Yuan Shao, he is the fourth and third dukes, what a majesty, the officials in the world are half out of his door, even if you are Brother Meng De, you can be said to be under the Yuan family." ”

Cao Cao nodded, his Dongjun county guard was still sealed with Yuan Shao's help.

"But Brother Meng De, think about it, the fourth and third dukes, this actually means that the scholar group headed by the Yuan clan has completely monopolized the promotion channels of officials! There is almost no way out of the cold door, Zhang Jiao is also a person with considerable assets, why can't he rebel in his good days, to put it bluntly, he wants to go up, but there is no way out, since this is the case, he will break out of a way!

Besides, those people who followed Zhang Jiao's rebellion, are they not afraid of death like this? Where in the world is there a person who is not afraid of death! Many of them were indeed bewitched by Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Jiao has been dead for so many years, has the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided? Zhang Yan of Montenegro is almost a million people!

Why do so many people follow these Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, it is because they are dying of hunger, they have no food to eat, but they are also dead, and if they don't do it, they are also dead, what is there to be afraid of death?

Therefore, the contradiction of the Han Dynasty now, on the surface, is an internal contradiction between the scholars, but in fact, it is the contradiction between the insatiable scholars and the people who have nothing to occupy, and the contradiction between the scholars who have 10,000 acres of fertile land on one side and the people who have no land on the other side!

If you want to save the Han, you must solve this contradiction, and to solve this contradiction, in the economy - that is, to clear the field, and even divide the field! Carrying out land reform, politically, is to enable the Hanmen and even the Qiantou to attack the nobles! ”

Ma Qiang this time, it can be said that he put his thoughts on Cao Cao, he has already thought clearly, if Cao Cao agrees with his point of view, then he will be a comrade who can cooperate in the future, if he does not agree, but Cao Cao is the spokesperson of the Shi clan, and like Yuan Shao, he is his enemy, and the two will have a life-and-death battle in the future!

Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered, he kept recalling everything he had seen in the past thirty years.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Cao Cao listened to Ma Qiang's words and found that the scholar clan he belonged to didn't seem to have become the branch of the country they boasted of, but instead became the culprit that brought the country into its current situation.

Could it be that ... Do the gentry really have to be exterminated?
