"Send a message to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, I can sell them the medicine for the treatment of the plague at a low price."

Tian Feng shook his head helplessly: "Lord, Cao Cao, they are not even willing to use basic measures to prevent and control the plague, let alone buy medicine." There is no point in you doing this, my lord. ”

Yuan Shu's face was furious: "This group of short-sighted bastards, don't they know the importance of population?" Didn't they resist my previous predation of the world's population? Why are you starting to get brain-dead now? ”

Everyone present was silent. Yuan Shu was obviously losing his temper, so there was no need to reply.

"Write to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and ask them to send the people who have the plague over, and they will not cure me." Yuan Shu, who was extremely angry, didn't think about it and said something unrealistic.

The people below had no waves in their hearts, and could only sigh slightly. Even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei killed all these people, it would be impossible to send them to Jiangdong, and they would definitely tightly block the road to Jiangdong. Even if Yuan Shu paid for food, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would not do such a thing, and these princes would rather lose both than cheapen Yuan Shu.

After venting for a while, Yuan Shu gradually calmed down, lowered his eyes, and sat down on the ground: "Let's talk about it!" What do you have to do? ”

"What's the bottom line of the lord?" Jia Xu first said calmly.

"These people can't be left alone." Yuan Shu was silent for a long time and said firmly.

Hearing this, everyone present frowned.

Although they appreciated and were very pleased with Yuan Shu's kindness, this was indeed not a quality that a master should have. In this case, Yuan Shu's bottom line turned out to be to keep the people, which is not a good phenomenon.

There is a way that a gentleman can be deceived in a way. If Yuan Shu is really so benevolent, the world will not have to fight in the future, Cao Cao and they threaten the safety of the people, will Yuan Shu not enter the army? Compassion is not in charge of the army, and it is more necessary to be ruthless as a master. Especially in this kind of troubled times, what is needed is not a benevolent master, but a male master.

"But we can't cheap Cao Cao and Liu Bei for nothing, let alone compromise with them." Yuan Shu continued to add with a hideous face.

Influenced by modern thought, although he values life more than anyone present, he also knows the importance of it. He is not stupid, if he compromises this time, let alone dominate the world, even this Jiangdong will not be able to hold it. He can be stupid and straight, but he must not be kind and deceitful.

When everyone present heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the lord still knows the general situation, the strategist can be benevolent, the general can be benevolent, but the monarch must not be benevolent in his heart.

There is no shortage of ostensibly benevolent monarchs in history, but there are basically few truly benevolent monarchs, let alone founding monarchs.

Liu Bangren, but he can let Xiang Yu kill his father without care. Liu Beiren, but he can seize the foundation of Jingzhou and Xichuan without caring and kill his own son. The founding monarch was not decisive in killing, with blood on his hands, and it was good to be stained with the blood of the enemy, and many of them could even do it with their own subordinates and brothers.

The problem that these people were most worried about did not happen, Yuan Shu did not live up to their expectations, and he was still the lord of the "wise".

Everyone present understood what kind of temper Yuan Shu was, and he was never good at pretending. Unlike Cao Cao, not as fake as Yuan Shao, and not as superb as Liu Bei, Yuan Shu's true temperament is his flaw and his strength, but it is not a weakness like benevolence.

"Lord, we can't compromise, and we can't suppress it by force, and we can only use the people's will for the sake of today."

Jia Xu actually didn't care about the lives of these people, and he didn't want Yuan Shu to take care of these things. In his opinion, it is better for these people to die, which not only consumes Cao Liu's vitality, but also hits their prestige and people's hearts, what a good thing! But he knew Yuan Shu's character well, and he knew that Yuan Shu was in charge of this matter.

The mountain of herbs and medicines in the warehouse has been prepared for many years, not for the plague in the Central Plains or why? Jiangdong is politically harmonious, the people are basically free of food and clothing, and the hygiene is also very good, basically there have not been a few outbreaks of plague, and each outbreak is quickly extinguished, why do you need so many medicines?

"Wen and you have any good ideas, say it quickly, don't be mysterious." Yuan Shu rolled his eyes impatiently.

These strategists all have some bad problems, and if they come up with a mysterious scheme, they must first sell off their skills and show off their wisdom.

Seeing this scene, all the strategists present glanced at Jia Xu sympathetically. The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched a little, what is this!

Taking a deep breath, Jia Xu comforted himself: This thing is a mallet, what do you have to do with him? It's useless to care, what is the effect of your own lifespan except shortness of breath?

After comforting himself mentally, Jia Xu gritted his teeth and said: "The handling method of the plague has been like this since ancient times, and the people of the Central Plains have not rioted much because they are used to this situation. But now it's different, we Jiangdong have a way to treat it, as long as we spread the plague control situation in Jiangdong, and then the lord can sell the medicine that can effectively treat the plague to Cao Liu at a low price in the spirit of benevolence and righteousness. Cao Liu did not dare to ignore public opinion, and was bound to compromise with the lord. ”

"Will this work?" Yuan Shu was a little suspicious of Jia Xu's plan, how could he win the trust of those people? Not to mention stirring up the hearts of the people. Do you really think that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are eating dry rice?

Jia Xu smiled confidently: "Don't forget, my lord, you just gave the family a big gift." Now there are many families in the Central Plains who want to please the lord, and this kind of thing of pushing the boat down the river, presumably they will not refuse. And the lord can also use the population to promise them a fief, and then put on some money and food, anyway, they are all white wolves with empty gloves, and these families will not refuse this kind of thing. ”

Yuan Shu has not done much recently, because Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been blockading more and more people now, and it is difficult to get the population. But now that the matter of sealing the country came out, Jia Xu felt that it could be carried out again.

The relationship network of these families has touched almost every corner of the Han Dynasty, and they didn't work so hard before because money and food were not very attractive to them, but now with the bait of the feudal country, Jia Xu felt that they might not be so calm.

With their skills, a family secretly sent tens of thousands of people to play. Yuzhou, which is huge, has a population of hundreds of thousands inexplicably, presumably Liu Bei can't find it, and even if he finds it, there is nothing he can do. At this time, it is impossible for him to turn his face with the family, which is the disadvantage of relying on the family.

Relying on the family can rise quickly, but once your interests and the interests of the family do not coincide, you will find how powerless you are. You have no way to do anything about the family's yang and yin.

Cao Cao is okay now, he mainly relied on his own family and the Xun family to make his fortune, and Liu Bei, who started purely from a family, was miserable. Although the family under Liu Bei's command will not rebel so easily, only a small part may waver, but secretly contact Yuan Shu, open the back door for Yuan Shu, and step on two boats, these people are still very happy to do it.

Even Liu Bei knew that he couldn't do anything, unless he was willing to break the jar like Dong Zhuo and cut himself off from the world. As long as the family doesn't do too much, he can only turn a blind eye.
