Zhou Heng behaved gently, stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Bai, and said: "I, Zhou Heng, have no official status, and I can't stand the worship of Zhuangyuanlang." ”

I haven't gotten up for a long time to look more respectful, and I can see such a character tense thoroughly. Zhang Bai sincerely admires the Zhou family and grandchildren, who have never been as officialdom as they have already put the general trend of the world in their hands. The literati have their own wealth in their chests, and their mouth is fragrant.

From this moment on, Zhang Bai understood that the two sons of the Zhou family, who were not well-known, were also helping the dragon together, and slaying the dragon only had different beliefs. Although Zhou Heng never turned against Zhou Jin under the prince's door, Zhou Jin was the same. Unlike the crown prince Qi Wang, you live and die, the two are mostly competing in learning, there is no right or wrong, there is no high or low, only victory and defeat. I admire my husband even more, the two branches of the Liang Wen lineage, the Zhou Wen lineage, most of them are smooth officialdom, and there are few literary masters. The poems and songs of the double dress and one vein are a good one, and most of them are teaching craftsmen. Most of the official studies of Daliang are from Shuangshang, and many books have been published in this context in the past 20 years of Qinghe.

Zhou Wen is different from each other, as if the students handed over by the same teacher are different, and even their ideas are different. In the distance, Wang An, who was a student more than ten years ago, was an official in the same dynasty as his husband Zhou Wen, and he would rather betray his teacher than adhere to his ideas. In the past few decades, Zhou Wen's disciples have been born all over the world, and it is rare for one party to appear. Closer to some of the two sons of the Zhou family, one supports the prince, and the other supports the king of Qi, not to compete for the family business, but to each have their own ideology.

Zhang Bai once had a dialogue with Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin adhered to the principle that a country is a family, and the family and the country come first and then the country. A country is composed of countless small families, and everyone forms a country, dealing with the aristocracy and wealthy families, rectifying the government and the opposition, dividing them into two, two, and four, and exploiting them layer by layer, forming countless small wealthy families, and controlling countless small families with one family. After that conversation, Zhang Bai sincerely admired Zhou Jin's knowledge, and the biggest drawback of Daliang now is not the shortage of the treasury, nor the lack of talents, but a lot. As Zhou Jin said, in the past ten years of Daliang, scholars have sprung up one after another, but they can be used by the imperial court, but very few are willing to devote themselves to the wealthy family rather than enter the court as an official. For this reason, Zhou Jin has an explanation.

The only way to disintegrate the wealthy family into countless small families is to assist the doormen. If a talented warrior can't get what he won, he will naturally change his approach. The imperial court wantonly conferred knighthoods, and talented people can use their talents to learn a title. Get rid of the dilemma of inheriting the title from a non-concubine, and divide it from one family to several families. There is no longer a hereditary system for natural titles, Wang Anneng can open the door to officialdom for students all over the world, why can't Zhou Jin create a non-hereditary title for military merits; Outstanding achievement; Fame; Merit and even learning in exchange for a knighthood.

Zhang Bai asked: "The flood of titles will make the titles worthless, and the competition between high and low is fierce." ”

Zhou Jin replied: "What is the difference between a title and money, learning martial arts is like wharf labor." You have the strength to carry a few more bags and walk a few times less, why can't you earn a few more copper coins than others in the same time. Will you be envious if you have limited ability? Yes, so I will work harder after that, how much ability do lazy people have to not move, naturally there is no penny, is it because you have great strength and the same work will give you a few more words. Nowadays, there are too many young people lying in the credit book of their fathers, and important official positions are used by these to be strong. Just like a cargo ship on the dock, there is only one tradition that it does not recruit new people. Everyone is not thinking about making a few more pennies, but thinking that this ship of goods can be moved in a while, and there is no competition anyway. Which shipowner can think so, a country is not a big ship. There are captains, deputies, and then helmsmen, wind watchers, and they need to row the boat with labor against the current. ”

rarely admires a person, Zhang Bai has never felt that a scholar can have such a big ideal. Zhou Heng is different from Zhou Jin, Zhou Heng is the dictatorship of the country before the family.

Zhang Bai asked, "I want to hear what my brother has to say." ”

Zhou Heng stared at Zhang Bai's serious eyes, did not speak, but pushed Zhang Bai into his seat. said: "Compared to Brother Zhang, I have already heard of Ah Jin's governing policy. Zhang Bai didn't deny it and said bluntly, he once met Zhou Jin and didn't think why Zhou Heng would know why he nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Heng asked again: "Talk about it according to your own ideas, whether Ah Jin's policy of governing the country is feasible." ”

Zhang Bai said bluntly: "Brother Tuesday's national policy is not impossible, only in a country to cause everyone to be for themselves and then for the country. While serving oneself is also serving the country, it cannot be done overnight. Once completed, the emperor must have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and facing many lords is equivalent to dividing the vassal states after the Spring and Autumn Period. It is indeed the most suitable national policy to solve today's big beam, and the situation in which one family dominates and a hundred schools of thought can be protected in a controllable situation. The families compete with each other for the interests of the big and small, so that the royal family has a heavy army controllable, and it can be in a short time, once the emperor is slightly different, it will make the Spring and Autumn Troubled Times reappear in the world. In this way, the national policy of several generations of emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty to unify the Central Plains will lose their original fighting spirit, and at that time, Southern Chu will become a dominant family. Unless there is no country outside the beam, and the deep-rooted family inheritance will become a family. ”

Looking at Zhou Heng and listening carefully to Zhang Bai, he continued: "Except for what I said before, the final purpose of Brother Tuesday is to eliminate the hidden dangers of the wealthy family, such as the Tui En Decree recommended by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is indeed much easier to deprive one title after another. But this is missing the original intention, if it were me, Zhang Bai would rather have several wealthy families than have ten hundred or even thousands of titles. ”

Zhou Heng looked at Zhang Bai and stopped: "Go on, it's very interesting." Say it boldly, there are no outsiders here. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "To the south of Daliang, there are two countries of Southern Chu and Eastern Wu, which are often forced to be defended in the north, and there are grassland departments in the north eyeing each other. If a country's power is too dispersed, there will be a lack of cohesion and people's morale. It is only said that among the three kingdoms, the Great Liang is the strongest, followed by Southern Chu, and Eastern Wu is the weakest but each is strong. Although the Great Liang is strong, it is full of wealthy families, and although Southern Chu is weak, it has occupied the righteousness for more than 100 years and has regarded itself as orthodox. Soochow is far away from a ray of people's hearts, and once the war happens, the whole country will be soldiers. In this way, if the Great Liang wants to unite the hearts of the people, it is necessary to eliminate the wealthy families, or weaken the power between clans, and fight one country or even several countries with one country. Tuesday's brother national policy is to eliminate the power of the wealthy clans, but it is not done overnight, but the lords have their own strengths, and once they are condensed, they will be unprecedentedly strong, which is not suitable for the current beams. ”

Zhou Heng asked again: "If you Zhang Bai is in charge of the three armies, eliminate everything before." Now that the Great Liang is strong, the people's hearts are cohesive, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to unify the Central Plains, and then he has to guard against the north. ”

With tea on the case, the world is recommended to write and write, respectively, there are the Liang, South, Chu, Eastern Wu, Turkic departments, and the vast land in the northwest. Zhang Bai looked at Zhou Heng's picture at a glance, but he was a little confused. I never thought about this, and most of the learning was a strategy for governing the country rather than a strategy for attacking.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense, I only know a little about the situation in Daliang, and I don't dare to talk about national affairs."

Zhou Heng pointed to the water stain map and said, "Just say it, you can think about it more." ”

No matter how hot the tea was, Zhang Bai never spoke, and Zhou Heng filled Zhang Bai with a cup of tea, but there was still no answer. Wen Yagongzi was very patient and said: "Brother Zhang, you think, I can first tell you about a few major things that Your Majesty has done since he ascended the throne, as well as Eastern Wu, Southern Chu and Daliang. ”

Zhang Bai listened to what he was thinking in his mind, and Zhou Heng said: "As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor's accession to the throne is not glorious, and the existence of the royal family has done all the murder and slaughter of brothers. Therefore, there are very few Liang princes now, so that there are many wealthy families with foreign surnames to take advantage of them. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he appointed Lin Xie to attack Southern Chu, and Li Shanhai cooperated with the Li clan to suppress Eastern Wu, thus establishing the hegemony of the Great Liang. In fact, all of this is due to the fact that Liu Ce took command for the first time in the twelfth year of Qinghe, and successively broke through the Turkic tribes to make the north stable, and then there was a northwest with a different surname Wang Yang Yi with 100,000 troops and no one to interfere in the northwest. In order to win the peace of the Liang for ten years, the Changfeng Army established its prestige in the south, and the Huizhou Navy cut off the water defense line of the Eastern Wu Navy. Externally, the internal reuse of the official department is Shangshu, that is, the uncle Zhou Yingxiang rectifies the officials, and the officials are conscientious and conscientious for the people. Prime Minister Wang An once had three strategies, you should all know, the biggest is to restore the imperial examination to add new blood to the imperial court. Zhao Kunshan, the former head of the household department, instituted taxes, the most important of which were agricultural taxes, which allowed the people to have land to cultivate and return the private land of the nobles to the peasants. Everyone knows that Zhao Kunshan embezzled taxes and silver, and few people know that he offended the wealthy and landlords and gentry of the people at the same time, which can be described as the first unjust case in Daliang. In addition, my grandfather Zhou Wen reopened the official school, and His Majesty Jian Yi opened schools in various places, so that the people could have books to read and spread the strategy of loyalty to the king, so that Daliang was no longer a barbarian in the Chu population. After that, there were masterpieces in the literary world represented by Shuangshang, which freed Daliang from the embarrassment of having no books in a country. Then there are the former criminal department Shangshu and Dali Siqing to reformulate the civil law and the laws between clans, so that people have laws to follow. With all this, there should be etiquette, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu once visited his grandfather, and spent five years laying the current royal etiquette, abolishing the funeral system, and formulating the etiquette of the literati and the clothing of military generals. In my opinion, the emperor is still the Ministry of Industry in the end, and the lightest is also the Ministry of Industry. Brother Zhang, you are not in the army, I don't know, the current military system has not changed much, but the offensive and defensive weapons have been greatly improved. This is the greatest credit of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, but in fact, the Ministry of Industry is still light, but the strengthened military equipment is less civilian, which is the biggest drawback. ”

After saying that, Zhang Bai had a new understanding of Daliang, and Zhou Heng continued: "This is the change of Daliang in the past twenty years, except for the Turkic tribes that were defeated by General Liu Ce, Yang Yi, the king of Tianshui, resisted the northwest to protect the peace. After several defeats on the water, Southern Soochow changed its defense from competing with each other to dominate the sea, and the number of warships far surpassed that of Southern Chu. The girder is almost not close to the sea, but sooner or later there will be a day when it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. On the other hand, Southern Chu has been strong and strong in the past few years, and it is not confined to orthodoxy, especially the strongest Baijia army. In terms of armor, it is far superior to the Changfeng Army, and the war horse has also been improved, which should be a transaction with other countries. One wants to dominate the oceans, and the other is desperate. As for the northern Turks, there will be no action in the north for at least ten years, and Yang Yi, the king of Tianshui in the northwest, can also ensure peace for a while, and the biggest enemy of the Great Liang is still Southern Chu. ”

Before Zhou Heng finished speaking, Zhang Bai suddenly said: "No, no, the biggest enemy of Daliang is not Nanchu, it is Dongwu." ”

With a smile on his face, he said, "Brother Zhang, what do you understand." As he spoke, he walked over to the bookshelf and took out a thin book, less than twenty pages.

Zhang Bai said: "What my brother said about Southern Chu is bound to unify the Central Plains with the Great Liang, and Eastern Wu has a powerful warship. Although the beam is strong, it is impossible to swallow Nanchu in one go, and it is impossible for Nanchu to swallow the beam, which is a node. Once a national war starts between the two countries, Soochow will inevitably take advantage of the situation. Whether it is the annexation of Southern Chu by Daliang or the annexation of Daliang by Southern Chu, the next step will only be to face a stronger and more prosperous Eastern Wu, perhaps it will be renamed Dawu at that time. In the next thought, Southern Chu has not devoted all its national strength to attack Daliang because it is afraid of Eastern Wu, just as Daliang is afraid of the Turks and the northwest tribes. The reason why Daliang is strong is that he and the general Liu Ce pacified the north, and the king of Tianshui sat in the northwest to have a chance to breathe. If you want to destroy Chu, you must first destroy Wu. ”

Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Correct solution, this is also the beginning when General Liu Ce stripped off his military power and retired to the military department. There are a total of three strategies in "Pingnan Shu Discussion", and the first strategy is to destroy Wu. However, the weakness of the Great Liang did not support the national war, and the second is that most people in the DPRK and China thought that the remote and small country of Eastern Wu was not enough to fear, and the biggest enemy of the Great Liang was still Southern Chu. You should take a look at this "Pingnan Shu Yi" and hand the book to Zhang Bai.

After taking the book, Zhou Heng stopped him from turning the book, and then asked, "What should a gentleman do." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Bai smiled a little silently and said: "Tend to be profitable, peaceful to the people." ”

Zhou Heng smiled, as if he had finally found a like-minded person and said, "Correct solution, you don't have to choose first." After reading "Pingnan Shu Discussion", if you are still willing, you can talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, and your mind will be more broad-minded. ”
