Chapter 349: From the Bottom Up

"Today's Han is rotten in the bones, Mr. Tian, don't you think that with today's imperial court, you can give the people of the Han world a stable and prosperous life? Do you still think that with today's imperial court, it can withstand the invasion of hundreds of thousands of cavalry of foreign people? Liu Xian saw that Tian Feng was silent and did not speak, so he continued to ask him.

"No, it can't be. No matter how weak our Han is, we will not let those aliens enter our homeland. Tian Feng said a little stiffly.

The dignified man came from all over the world to congratulate. The Han Dynasty was once extremely strong, and it killed those aliens who surrendered to the Han Dynasty and were controlled by the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the footprints of the envoys of the Han Dynasty reached as far as the ancient Roman Empire. When will it be the turn of those aliens to ride on the head of the big man?

For Tian Feng, or for the ordinary Han people, in fact, until now, there is still a kind of pride that goes deep into the bone marrow, and when looking at those aliens, they are basically called barbarians, beards, tartars, etc., which is a contemptuous title. In the face of those aliens, the Han people seem to have a natural sense of superiority.

Therefore, now it is really difficult for Tian Feng to accept the situation that the Han will one day be invaded by aliens and will be powerless to resist.

In fact, the current aliens, whether they are the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di, Qiang and other Wuhu races, or Karasuma, Shanyue, Nanban and other alien races, they really do not have the strength and courage to destroy the Han and occupy the Han. However, there is also a fact in this, that is, if they really dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, then the Han is really in danger, at least, before the group of heroes, relying on the current Han, I am afraid it will be really difficult to resist those aliens.

Fortunately, those various alien races, they are distributed around the Han and fight their own battles, and they have never considered sending troops together to destroy the Han Dynasty, otherwise, the Han Dynasty would have been finished long ago.

But even so, many years later, after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, he still let the Huns lead the army to attack Luoyang. At that time, although Luoyang was no longer the Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang did have a very important position in the minds of the Han people. Luoyang, which once represented the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty and symbolized imperial power, was actually occupied by the Huns. And during the period of these three kingdoms, the Huns captured Luoyang twice.

may be because of this, so that those aliens saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, and later boldly invaded the Han frequently. It was also from that time that those aliens no longer feared the Han Chinese. As a result, after the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, they entered a tragic era of Wuhu Chaohua.

These were all later events, and it was impossible for Liu Xian to tell Tian Feng about some future historical developments.

Liu Xian saw that Tian Feng was a little difficult to accept his statement, so he said to him: "Mr. Tian, what this son is saying now is only a conclusion based on what he sees with his own eyes and looks at the problem from an objective aspect. However, when it comes to this, it is not our turn to think about it. After all, although Ben Gongzi is a member of the Han family, he is an idle little person with no power and no power. And Mr. Tian, you don't want to be a member of the public now, and you're just an ordinary person, so let's stop at those unpredictable things in the future, and don't talk about it. ”

"No, no, Liu Xiangongzi, since it's been said, let's continue to talk. Since Liu Xiangongzi can see the situation of such a big man and have some predictions for the future, then in your opinion, what should we do now? Or, is there any salvation for today's big man? ”

"Is there any salvation for today's big man? Hehe, I also want to ask you, according to Mr. Tian Feng's opinion, how can such a big man be saved? Who has the power to turn the tide? Who can sustain the edifice that will fall? You? Or me? Not to mention the whole Han, even if you want to let Mr. Tian save the people of a county, or even the old and young people of a village in Tianjia Village now, I guess there is no way, right? Liu Xian smiled.

"Alas...... Yes, there are some things that our eyes may see clearly, and we can guess the future development, and we can imagine the results, but we are powerless to change anything. Tian Feng was really helpless at this time, and the whole person was a little lonely.

"Yes, we really can't change anything. However, if we don't work hard and don't do it, then there is no hope for even that little bit of change. This is the main reason why this son came to Tianjia Village to see Mr. Tian. ”

"Oh? Could it be that Liu Xian's son has a way? Hey...... Yes, Tian is indeed poor, but Liu Xiangongzi, you can help the people of one county very well, and you can also take care of the people of other counties. Tian Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, straightened his waist, and stared at Liu Xiandao: "Young Master Liu Xian, do you have a way?" Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

Liu Xian shrugged and said, "Mr. Tian, aren't you worried that Liu will rebel now?" Don't worry about traitors? ”

"Uh...... If the big man really fell to such a point, is the big man still a big man? Tian Feng didn't dare to imagine that the future Han would be worse than the current situation. If it really gets worse, the imperial court can't resist the invasion of those aliens at all, then the Han people are all destroyed, what kind of traitor is there to talk about?

Liu Xian said this to Tian Feng, and it was also thanks to Tian Feng, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely not easily believe Liu Xian's words, let alone believe that any alien could bring much disaster to the Han.

But Tian Feng is a smart person, and he first has an extremely clear understanding of what kind of court the current Han court is. Even he was completely desperate for the Han court, and would rather return to the field than go out, which shows how disappointed Tian Feng was in the court.

However, Tian Feng also has a certain understanding of those aliens around the Han Dynasty, so he believes that what Liu Xian said may really become a fact in the future.

"Okay." Liu Xian said to Tian Feng at this time: "Mr. Tian, let me tell you, if a person wants to do something in such a world, it is very difficult and difficult, and it is difficult to succeed. ”

"Yes, Tian just can't bear to watch the people of Pingxiang County starve to death, and he can't get much food to help those people when he runs around." Tian Feng remembered his experience of borrowing grain everywhere, and his eyes were really full of tears. Obviously, those landlords and tyrants have warehouses full of grain, but they are unwilling to lend him some grain.

"Do you know how I helped so many people in Yangshi County?" Liu Xian asked.

"Although I have heard some rumors, but I don't know the situation very well, if Liu Xiangongzi is willing to say it, Tian Mouyuan has heard about it." Tian Feng saw that Liu Xian said this, and he was a little interested in knowing.

"I don't know the specifics. But it can be summed up. First, although I am young, my family does hold a genealogy of the Liu royal family, which can prove that this son is a member of the Han family. This, in fact, is not of great use, but it can indeed be used by this son to pull the banner and elevate his status. ”

"A member of the Han family, for the entire Han Dynasty, this is really nothing. The most ordinary people can do is to be respectful and polite to you. Liu Xian said casually: "If I want to ask those landlords and rich households for grain with this identity, it is impossible." If it were so easy, then there would be no people starving to death. In terms of status alone, as well as personal fame and prestige, I believe that Mr. Tian must be much higher in Pingxiang County than Ben Gongzi in Yang's County. Because at that time, no one in Yang County knew such a stinky young man as Ben Gongzi. ”

"Then Liu Xiangongzi, how did you get that food to help the people?" Tian Feng was really curious.

"That's the number two." Liu Xiandao: "Because at that time, this son set up a Liu Mansion caravan in a short period of time. This Liu Mansion caravan, naturally there must be a caravan escort. In this way, a detachment of men and horses was pulled up. Although some tricks were also used in it, the relationship with the subordinate county officials of Yang County at that time joined forces. However, these are secondary, the main thing is that this son has a team of men and horses. ”

"Men and horses are soldiers. Ben Gongzi has the foil of these soldiers and horses, which can highlight the identity and status of this son. With status, there is the right to speak, and with soldiers, it is equivalent to having execution. After Liu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Tian Feng and said, "So Mr. Tian understands, right?" In such a world, if you want to accomplish something, then you must have status and strength. This strength is the soldiers and horses, or the power. ”

"I, Liu Xian, have no intention of rebelling against the Han and the Han. However, I must have my own soldiers and horses, and I need to have my own territory of influence. ”

When Liu Xian said this, his tone was aggravated, and he said to Tian Feng: "Today's big Han, there are two ways to save the big Han general. One, from the top down, and the other, from the bottom up. But no matter which method it is, it must be first armed. ”

Tian Feng's thinking was a little overwhelmed, and he looked at Liu Xian with some puzzlement, but his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, because Liu Xian clearly said that there were two ways to save the big man?

"Young Master Liu Xian, what do you say about top-down and bottom-up?" Tian Feng asked with a blank eye.

"From top to bottom, it is a loyal minister like Mr. Tian who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and everyone is united. seized all aspects of the military power of the Han Dynasty, directly carried out a major purge of the current Han court, and beheaded all the traitors and courtiers in the court. After that, he immediately formulated and changed some more suitable Han laws and regulations for everyone to abide by. This method can also be described as the side of the Qing monarch. Beginning with the Han court, the court first stabilized the imperial program, and then implemented good governance. However, this method is not advisable, and there are too many difficulties in its implementation, which basically means that there is no possibility of success. Because the most crucial factor is to be a sage king today, at least have the potential to become a sage king. Otherwise, in the end, it will always be a failure, and it will not be possible. ”

"This method is indeed similar to the Qing Jun's side, this law Tian has already heard people talk about it, and even, some people from the original Qingliu party have been secretly active, planning to implement this method." Tian Feng shook his head after hearing this, and said, "It seems that someone also found Tian at that time, hoping that Tian would join them." But Tian felt that the hope of success was too small, so he refused. So, what about bottom-up? ”

"From the bottom up, that means we don't care about the Han court. We just need to bury our heads in what we are doing and do what we can. ”

Liu Xian said, without Tian Feng's question, he directly gave an example: "For example, the people of Yang's County, the imperial court can't take care of it, and I have the ability to have a way, so I'll take care of it." I will find a way to help them, and then find a way to give him a better job, so that they can survive and live better. However, I have worked hard to keep these people alive and let them live a truly better life, so whoever dares to destroy and mess with them will cut off their hands. For example, not long ago, more than 50,000 Montenegrin Yellow Turban troops suddenly killed outside Yang's County, and Ben Gongzi personally led the soldiers and civilians of Yang's County to defeat the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army and capture 20,000 people. This is called relying on others rather than on yourself. My son now has soldiers and horses, money and food, and now I can live the people of a county, and I can protect the people of a county, so I will protect the people of this county and let the people of this county live a good life. If I have greater ability, then I can let the people of two or three counties live a good life. ”

"One day, one county, one state, two states, all states under heaven...... Until the entire Han people can live a worry-free life and live a truly peaceful and beautiful life. This is my Liu Xian's ideal. After Liu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Tian Feng eagerly and said to him: "Now, I have built a new city in Liulin Village, and it will be built in the near future." However, I don't have many really talented people to help, so far, I have only invited Lord Cai Yong to help, Mr. Tian Feng, are you willing to come to my Liulin City? Would you like to help Ben Gongzi manage a city? Of course, there may be a second city and a third city in the future. In short, you are the talent I value the most, the talent of the military advisor! “

Tian Feng was shocked, Liu Xian actually defeated the 50,000-strong Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army? And built a city? Can you also invite Cai Yong to help?

Anyway, Tian Feng was already tempted.

In fact, he felt that what Liu Xian said was also what made him tempted. Because of today's big man, it is really too difficult for a person to do something. Liu Xian is like this, this is called being down-to-earth, no matter what else, he takes care of his current situation and does what he can.

Saving a county and protecting a county, this situation seems to be really good. Not to mention what will happen in the future, at least, for the time being, it is indeed an achievement to be able to make the people of one county and one place live a good life.

"Lord Cai Yong is also in Liulin Village now?" Tian Feng asked.

"That's right, Lord Cai Yong is now in charge of opening the academy in Liulin Village and Yangshi County. By the way, if Mr. Tian Feng is willing to come to Liulin Village, you will have to serve as the gentleman of the academy in the future. No way, lack of people. “

"Hehe, okay, Tian really wants to see what the situation is in Yangshi County and Liulin Village now. You have aroused your curiosity by Liu Xiangongzi. Tian Feng smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say that he was willing to serve Liu Xian, he only said that he wanted to go and see it.

Liu Xian didn't care about this, as long as he got Tian Feng to Liulin Village, it was estimated that he would not want to leave again. What's more, Liu Xian still has a backhand.

Liu Xian said again: "That's great, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to leave today." Well, it's almost noon, so let's have lunch and then set off together. “

"Leaving today? This ......" Tian Feng couldn't help but hesitate.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiandao.

"Young Master Liu Xian, you know, Tian has a lot of debts now, if Tian wants to go to Liulin Village, he must at least explain some things first. Also, my old mother and child must also settle down first. Tian Feng said with a slight embarrassment.

"Haha, I said what's the matter? These are the little things. Mr. Tian, your family is definitely going to Liulin Village together. Don't worry, I will settle your living in Liulin Village, and if my sister-in-law is willing to work, there will be something suitable for her to work. As for the grain debts you owe to the landlords and tyrants, don't you really want to repay them? Liu Xian said with a smile.

"Huh? Liu Xiangongzi, what do you mean? Tian Feng asked in surprise.

"Humph! I'll help you settle those debts, you don't have to worry about them. Liu Xian snorted coldly.
